After she finished handling all the things, she walked into the house and fried herself a plate of vegetables. Just as she was about to finish a simple lunch, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Lu Yuan paused, put down the bowl and chopsticks, walked to the door, opened the door, and saw Rong Heng standing outside.
He must have been really exhausted these past few days. His face really doesn't look good at the moment. The green stubble on his chin has not been shaved off. His eyes are bloodshot. He clearly looks exhausted to the extreme, but he still appears like a miracle.
it's here.
Lu Yuan opened his mouth, but before he could speak, he was already pulled into his arms.
She leaned against him quietly for a moment, then finally said: "How did you know I'm here?"
"Second brother told me." Rong Heng said.
Lu Yuan listened and responded softly, then straightened up from his arms and said, "Have you eaten? I cooked rice, but there was no meat, only a plate of vegetables."
Rong Heng looked at her again, said nothing, and pulled her towards the house.
As he approached the door, he couldn't help but look outside the house again.
Under the tall elm tree in the courtyard, where there was originally only one grave, there was now a new grave.
After entering the house, Lu Yuan quickly filled a bowl of rice for Rong Heng and put it in front of him, "You can just eat a little. When you return to Tongcheng, you can go to Huo's house to eat something delicious."
Rong Heng took the bowl, paused for a moment, finished the bowl of rice in three strokes, and then handed the bowl to Lu Yuan, "Is there any more?"
Lu Yuan was startled and pushed the bowl of rice that he had only eaten two bites to him, "There is more here."
After hearing this, Rong Heng put down his bowl and chopsticks, "One bowl of rice won't starve me to death. You must finish the bowl of rice honestly."
When Lu Yuan heard this, he just lowered his head and continued to eat quietly.
Rong Heng sat across from her and looked at her. He seemed to be satisfied until she finished the bowl of rice slowly.
After helping Lu Yuan clean up the dishes, Rong Heng wanted to help her wash them again, but Lu Yuan refused to let him help and kicked him out of the kitchen.
Rong Heng strolled outside the house, lit a cigarette, and then walked under the elm tree and stood quietly for a long time.
He had imagined Lu Yuchuan's ending countless times, including his death - but looking at the simple and deserted new grave, Rong Heng still couldn't help but feel sad.
He committed many crimes during his lifetime and did many evil things, and finally got the identity, status, and voice he wanted, but what was the ending?
After all, it is nothing more than a three-foot graveyard and a piece of loess.
Rong Heng stood in front of that grave for a long time. It wasn't until the sound of Lu Yuan's footsteps came from behind that he suddenly came back to his senses and turned to look at her.
But she happened to stop under a pomegranate tree.
In midsummer, the pomegranate blossoms are like fire, and the trees are orange-red.
When the wind blew, a few pomegranate flowers fell to the ground.
Lu Yuan bent down and picked up the pomegranate flowers, then stepped forward and placed the flowers in front of the two tombs.
Rong Heng watched her movements, paused for a moment, and then said, "Why don't you wait until I come back to take care of this?"
"Everything has been arranged, so let's do it as soon as possible." Lu Yuan whispered, "Besides, you are not suitable to handle these things."
When Rong Heng heard this, he immediately became a little anxious. Lu Yuan realized something and quickly turned back to look at him and said: "I don't want to affect you. If someone takes these things to argue about right and wrong in the future, it will not be good for you.
"
"Do you think I will care?" Rong Heng asked her with a frown.
"It doesn't matter whether you care or not." Lu Yuan said, "I can't let you bear this for nothing."
After hearing this, Rong Heng stretched out his hand to hold her and said, "Then you shouldn't do this alone. Why don't you let your second brother help you?"
Lu Yuan shook his head, "These things are very simple and easy with the help of workers...Besides, Qianqian has endured enough. I don't want her to face these things again. I'm afraid she will think of that day again...
I know she is very strong, but what happened that day...even people other than me dare not think about it, let alone her."
After hearing this, Rong Heng didn't say anything else for a while. He just stretched out his hand to hug her and patted her back gently.
Apart from Lu Yuchuan and Mu Qian, Huo Jinxi actually heard the whole thing that day.
He placed someone next to Lu Yuchuan and implanted a subcutaneous listening device, so he could keep track of all Lu Yuchuan's movements.
He knew clearly what happened between Lu Yuchuan and Mu Qian, he knew what Lu Yuchuan did, and he also knew what Mu Qian responded to, so that night, he was so angry that he went directly to find someone to report to the police.
Act responsibly instead of rushing to the scene to appease Mu Qian.
Because Lu Yuchuan's actions angered him, Mu Qian's response also angered him.
Rong Heng wanted to ask him about the specific situation again, but he had no chance. He could only deduce the full story of the incident from the investigation in the next two days.
Lu Yuan was with him during those two days. She knew most of what he knew.
That's why she made such a decision today.
"If dad can come back here and sleep side by side with mom, I think he will be satisfied and rest in peace." Lu Yuan said, "I just hope that Qian Qian can forget those things as soon as possible -"
Rong Heng slowly stroked the back of her head and whispered: "She can do it. With you by her side, she will definitely do it."
Lu Yuan leaned against Rong Heng quietly, letting the moisture in her eyes blend silently into the shirt on his chest.
…
When the two of them returned to Tongcheng, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
When Rong Heng's car drove into Huo's house, Huo Jinxi's car happened to drive back from outside.
When the car stopped, Huo Qiran jumped out of the car first and rushed towards Yuanyuan, "Aunt Yuanyuan!"
Lu Yuan stretched out her hand to hug him, took off his schoolbag for him, and asked him softly how he went to school today, and then looked at Huo Jinxi who was walking out of the car.
Huo Jinxi looked at her and nodded slightly.
"Where's Qianqian?" Lu Yuan asked.
"Sleeping." Huo Jinxi replied.
Lu Yuan couldn't help being slightly startled after hearing this.
Still sleeping at this point, this shouldn't be Mu Qian's living habit.
"Mom is a lazy person. She only knows how to sleep every day." Huo Qiran muttered dissatisfiedly, "Aunt Yuanyuan, let's go and wake up mom -"
After saying that, Huo Qiran pulled Lu Yuan and ran into the house.
Rong Heng watched them enter, and then walked to Huo Jinxi, "Is Mu Qian still in a state of recovery?"
"It's just the same on the surface." Huo Jinxi simply answered with a few words, and then asked, "How are you doing there?"
"Relevant matters regarding the case have been transferred back to Tongcheng. Although Lu Yuchuan is dead, there are other criminals involved in the case, so he is probably very busy during this period."
Huo Jinxi said: "There is nothing to be afraid of when a tree falls and the hozens scatter."
"Yes." Rong Heng responded, paused, and then said again, "Second brother, I have found out some details of the case in the past few days. It is up to you to decide whether to tell Mu Qian or not."
