Luo Xi chased her out of the alley and onto the road with heavy traffic. Those people had long since lost their traces and disappeared without a trace. She parked her car slowly on the side of the road, letting the cars around her come and go, and looked towards her.
The gray sky in the distance is as desolate as the tears of a departed person.
She thought of Qin Pei mending her torn training clothes under the lamp, doing every stitch carefully. She thought of their master and apprentice chatting around the stove, with the tea in hand, and the broad and kind smile on his face. She thought of her childhood.
He couldn't stop crying because of the hard work of practicing, so he secretly put a piece of candy into her little hand.
For more than 20 years, he has been like a teacher and a father, and has been accompanying her in her growth. This small courtyard is her healing place when she is sad, and her happy paradise when she is happy. She has watched the sun rise here.
At sunset, she spent her beautiful years of youth here, and all of this was related to a man named Qin Pei.
Luo Xi slowly lowered his head, lying on the steering wheel and crying bitterly.
When she returned to the courtyard, the siren on the ambulance was still spinning desperately. She hated this sound, because its whine meant that a life was in danger.
The doctors were still doing the final resuscitation, and Luo Xi stayed by Qin Pei's side. Following the doctors' movements, Qin Pei's body bounced up and down, as if he would open his eyes at any time, but Luo Xi knew that he would never
After meeting, he left her, completely left her, and
After that, there will be no more sounds of practicing here, no one will make her a cup of hot tea, cook a plate of delicious food, and no one will hear her voice calling her "girl" from afar. He is so desperate.
He suddenly walked out of her life, leaving her with endless pain and longing.
"Miss, I'm sorry, we tried our best." The dedicated doctor finally gave up resuscitation, with a light sweat on his forehead.
"Thank you." Luo Xi gently stroked Qin Pei's bloodless face, "Master, they tried their best."
"Miss, this is a criminal case and we have already called the police."
Luo Xi sneered, "Is it useful?"
These people who dared to break into a house and shoot and kill in broad daylight were definitely not ordinary robbers. And based on Qin Pei's previous reaction, it can be concluded that he already knew who was coming, so he hid her.
.
As Qin Pei said himself, how could he offend anyone without leaving home? Who is so cruel?
"Luo Xi." Lin Ziheng parked the car on the side of the road and ran over before he could lock the car. When he saw Qin Pei being pushed into the ambulance, his whole body seemed to be struck by lightning, and he stayed dumbly.
There.
Hearing Lin Ziheng's voice, Luo Xi turned his head. He stood in the cold wind. The wind blew the corners of his coat and soft hair. His face was pale, as if he had lost his soul.
"Zi Heng, are you chasing Xixi? You have to be patient when chasing girls. The master will cheer for you."
"Zi Heng, the master has only had two apprentices, you and Xixi, in his entire life, so you have to keep up with the master."
He likes to eat the braised fish made by Qin Pei, he likes to sit with him after practicing, sipping tea and chatting, and he likes to hear Qin Pei calling him Zi Heng, just like his father's voice when he was a child.
He followed him to learn Wuyan Dao, and at the same time he enjoyed the unique tranquility here. There was no intrigue, no intrigue, no blood and blood, only an old man drinking tea and talking happily, with a kind face.
In the summer, the persimmon branches are lush and leafy, and in the autumn, the golden fruits are abundant. He likes to eat persimmon cakes made from this kind of persimmon. It is neither sweet nor astringent, but has a mellow taste. Anyone who can make this kind of persimmon cake is famous. Shi Zheng lay quietly in the ambulance, closing his eyes forever.
Lin Ziheng came over and reached out to touch Qin Pei's face. There was even a trace of warmth on his face, "Master, I'm sorry, Ziheng is late."
Lin Ziheng slowly knelt down in front of him, two lines of crystal tears falling from his cheeks, "I'm sorry, master, I'm sorry."
Luo Xi looked at him and closed his eyes silently.
The ambulance drove to the hospital, and the two people sat next to Qin Pei, neither speaking to each other for fear of disturbing his peace at this time.
It wasn't until Qin Pei was pushed into the morgue that Luo Xi seemed to have lost all his strength and slowly fell down.
"Luo Xi." Lin Ziheng hugged her immediately, "I'll help you go over and have a rest."
She was at his mercy like a puppet, sitting obediently on a chair in the corridor, surrounded by the strong smell of disinfectant, with medical staff and patients constantly walking around in front of her.
Lin Ziheng didn't speak, he put his arm around her shoulder and looked a little sad.
"Zi Heng, the master died unjustly." Luo Xi grasped the lapel of his clothes tightly and suddenly became very excited.
"I know that I will not let the master's death be in vain." Lin Ziheng patted her hand gently, "Luo Xi, the most important thing now is to take care of the master's funeral, and you can't fall, understand? ?”
She nodded and returned to her previous position.
Lin Ziheng looked down at her, thinking of his conversation with Cui Dingtian that night.
At that time, he came back very late. Unexpectedly, Cui Dingtian didn't sleep either, so he called him to the study.
"Zi Heng, I heard that you learned martial arts from Qin Pei, right?"
"Uncle, do you know the master?"
"He is my former comrade-in-arms and also my old squad leader."
Lin Ziheng thought they were old friends, but Cui Dingtian said: "Ziheng, Qin Pei may have something I need. You can find it for me."
"What?"
"A secret disk."
"How can master have such a thing?"
"Don't ask so many questions. Just go and get it."
Lin Ziheng did not go to Qin Pei to ask for any disks. After Cui Dingtian pressed him hard, he decided to come over today and make up an excuse to go back to work. Unexpectedly, this trip turned out to be a farewell.
Although he did not appear at the scene of the crime, he could not rule out that the incident was related to Cui Dingtian, but he could not tell Luo Xi because he was afraid that she would be impulsive and how could she defeat Cui Dingtian with her ability.
At this time, Luo Xi's phone rang. When she saw Lu Sheng's name, her eyes suddenly filled with sourness, "Hello."
"Why don't you answer the phone?"
"Lu Sheng..." She choked out suddenly, and tears condensed into water splashes in her eyes, and streamed down.
"What happened?" He immediately became nervous, "Roxi, where are you? Why are you crying?"
"I'm in the hospital, master... master, he..." She covered her face and suddenly couldn't say a word.
Lin Ziheng took her phone and said, "Lu, we are at the Central Hospital. Master Qin was killed."
The phone was hung up, Luo Xi was still crying, Lin Ziheng coaxed her and patted her back gently with his big hands.
She could calm down just now, but when she received Lu Sheng's call, she was like a wronged child, eager to vent her grievances in front of an adult who loved her. She could be calm and self-controlled in front of him, but In Lu Sheng's place, all her fragility and helplessness were so clearly displayed. Perhaps, this was the difference between him and Lu Sheng. For her, Lu Sheng was the one she could rely on and rely on, and he would always be. ..ranked second.
Lin Ziheng sighed silently. Qin Pei's death made him feel like a knife, and Luo Xi's dependence on Lu Sheng made him unbearable. The two extreme emotions were mixed together, like two sharp daggers twisting each other.
His heart was dripping with blood with every stab.
After completing some formalities, the police also arrived. During the routine questioning, Luo Xi was in a very excited mood and had to stop the conversation midway. When Lu Sheng hurried over, she seemed to have seen the savior and suddenly jumped out of her chair.
He stood up and ran towards him.
"Lu Sheng." She fell into his arms.
Her eyes were swollen like peaches, her body hung limply on him, and her voice was choked and hoarse. He hugged her distressedly and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, I will definitely find the murderer of Uncle Qin. I
It will allow his old man’s spirit in heaven to rest in peace.”
With his promise, her tense nerves finally relaxed for a moment. No matter what happened, as long as he was by her side, she could feel at ease. She knew that he would settle everything for her.
Two policemen came over and said, "Ms. Luo, can you continue to cooperate with us in taking notes?"
Lu Sheng winked at Fan Kai who was behind him, and he immediately went forward to negotiate with the police.
"It turns out to be Lu Shuai, whom I have admired for a long time." When the little policeman heard Lu Sheng's name, he felt thunderous. He did not expect to see such a big shot in this small hospital.
"I'm going to take a look at the scene."
"Of course there is no problem, Commander Lu, please excuse me."
"I'll go there too." Lin Ziheng's eyes swept across Luo Xi's face, "I want to know who killed the master."
Lu Sheng did not object. He understood Lin Ziheng's mood at this time.
The group returned to the scene of the crime and faced the small courtyard again. Luo Xi couldn't help but feel sad. She opened the door and imagined that she could hear the familiar "girl" and that Qin Pei would still be sitting under the persimmon tree.
Warming a pot of tea and sipping a pot of wine, he would look at her with a smile, his eyes filled with glow.
It's a pity that all this will never happen again. The yard in front of us is empty except for the persimmon tree standing alone.
When Changshou saw an acquaintance, he stood up mentally.
Luo Xi leaned over and held it in her arms, gently touching its head, "Longevity Noodles, you can only live with me from now on."
Lu Sheng patted her shoulder and said, "Sit here for a while and I'll go in and take a look."
He didn't want her to experience that sadness again. She had shed enough tears.
"I'm coming with you." Lin Ziheng followed Lu Sheng closely, and the two of them crossed the yellow police line and entered the house.
Most of the things here were taken away by the police as evidence, leaving only fragments of glass on the ground.
Lu Sheng picked up a piece and looked at it carefully, "It looks like it fell off the picture frame."
"That should be my mother's photo." Luo Xi stood outside the door. Seeing the room, her emotions fluctuated again. "The master has always kept it."
"Uncle Qin and your mother are...?"
Luo Xi never told Lu Sheng about the relationship between Qin Pei and Mo Shuixin, and also wanted to keep some secrets for Qin Pei.
"They obviously love each other but can't be together."
Lu Sheng gently put down the fragments in his hand and fell into a state of thinking.
"There are signs of fighting at the scene." Lin Ziheng said: "Master has fought with these people. Look at this."
He used a clean handkerchief to hold up a metal circle. It was too small and was hidden under the chair without being discovered. "What do you think this is?"
Lu Sheng said: "Buttonholes on military boots."
The two looked at each other and said in unison, "People from the army?"
