Seeing the surprised drunkard, Kaijiro seemed to be interested. He couldn't help but squat down and said with a hint of irony: "You keep saying you want to take revenge on me, but in fact you just want to use me as a scapegoat."
Forget it, the real murderer of your parents is not me, nor anyone else, but yourself.
In fact, your parents are probably the most selfless and kind-hearted parents in the world. But you? Have you ever cherished them? When have you ever thought about them? You always find others to compete with. If others don't compete with you,
You try your best to force others to compete with you. When you kill those opponents, have you ever thought about their relatives and parents. If not, how would my brother Zhou come all the way to get rid of them?
You are a disaster.
In fact, when you were injured, if Brother Zhou hadn't persuaded you, he said that you and him were competing in an upright and fair way. If I took action at this time, it would be unfair to him. Otherwise, I would have gotten rid of you at that time. How could you be allowed to do this?
To this day. Later, your parents came to ask me to save you. I once turned them away. But do you know that your parents knelt in front of my door for several days? I did it for your parents' sake.
They came to the rescue, but I think it is precisely because they indulged you too much that they caused you to become lawless, so they should also be held responsible for this."
At this point, Kaijiulang suddenly sighed and said: "Actually, if you had repented at that time, you could have shared the family happiness with your parents for half a year to a year to make up for the harm you had done to them. It's a pity that you still didn't cherish it.
You only want to seek revenge from me, but you have never reflected on whether it was me or you who caused this tragedy. You are indeed a son of man in vain."
There were tears in the drunkard's eyes, but he didn't let the tears flow out. He looked directly at Gui Jiulang and said, "Is it true that my father voluntarily took the knife on your behalf?"
Gui Jiulang laughed and said: "Don't you understand that your father is not acting for me, but for you. If he doesn't accept the knife, then you must accept the knife from me. Anyway, you have stabbed you with the knife many times.
Your parents only care about one more stab in their hearts. In fact, your parents only have a simple wish, that is, they hope that you can change your mind and start a new life, haha, but this is really a wish full of irony."
As he spoke, he suddenly took out a letter from his sleeve and said: "This letter was written by your father the night before you killed him. He hoped that I could give it to you, but I thought that as his son
You don't deserve this letter at all, so I don't plan to hand it to you. To tell you the truth, I have always thought that your parents are ignorant and ignorant. There is nothing worth saving for people like you. Letting you die as soon as possible is not good for anyone.
Okay, but now I have become a father. I have begun to understand the mood of your parents at that time, and your parents can be said to be my teachers. Alas, that's all. I will give this letter to you today, although you
I still don’t deserve this letter now, but I don’t want to be entangled with you anymore. This actually has nothing to do with me at all. If you want revenge, then---."
He put the envelope on the drunkard's chest and said: "Put the knife in here, pierce your own chest and your father's expectations for you before he died. If you hope that your parents can finally rest in peace after twenty years,
Then you should follow what this letter says."
"What I hate the most is explaining to others. It's just that I promised Li Qi that's why I'm telling you this. Whether you listen or not, it has nothing to do with me."
Wei Jiulang stood up, patted his front a few times, and said: "But you have to remember, this is the third time I have let you go. Although I promised your father, this must be the last time. I won't let you go now."
Allowing any danger to exist around me, oh, I also want to advise you not to show that ferocious look to my wife and children again, otherwise you will definitely regret it."
After saying this, he turned around and strode away.
Just when Gui Jiulang walked out of the woods, the drunkard's left hand suddenly raised up, but he saw a sharp dagger hidden in his hand. He looked at the dagger and suddenly laughed like crazy, but the tears never came.
shed.
"Since you can move, why didn't you just kill him with one knife?"
Suddenly a voice sounded in the woods, and Li Qi was seen walking out of the woods.
The drunkard looked at the dagger to himself and said, "If I want to kill him, you will definitely stop me."
"With your sword skills, I may not be able to react."
Li Qi came over and sat next to the drunkard. Looking at the red patch on the drunkard's sleeves, he understood in his heart that he was actually poisoned by Gui Jiulang. He just cut his arm with a dagger to stimulate himself before falling down.
The moment Kaikuro squatted down just now, the drunkard definitely had a chance to slit Kaikuro's throat with a knife. With his ability, there was almost no chance of missing.
Judging from the fact that he used his last bit of strength to turn around, he must have planned it in advance.
However, he didn't do this.
The drunkard put down his hand and thought to himself: "This dagger is the one I stabbed into my father's chest. I have kept it to this day. I don't know why I kept it. It wasn't until today that I realized that it was
I spent the entire afternoon grinding my revenge, just to be able to use it to kill Kairo Kuro."
Li Qidao: "It was a very good opportunity just now, why did you let it go again?"
The drunkard said: "Because what he said is right. In fact, I was the murderer who killed my parents. It has nothing to do with anyone else. I am responsible for all of this. After all, no one forced me to stab me, right?"
Li Qi smiled slightly and said: "You didn't hold back last time, which made you regret it for most of your life. However, you held back this time. This is progress."
The drunkard said with a self-deprecating smile: "This is not progress, it is clearly a regression. I think maybe my brain was damaged by drinking. If it were twenty years ago, I would have swung this knife without hesitation and died together with Wei Jiulang."
.”
"Perish together?" Li Qi asked in astonishment.
The drunkard sneered and said: "You underestimate Kuai Kurang too much. I have a backup plan, and he must be on guard. I'm sure that when I swing this sword, he can kill me."
What he said was right. Kuai Jiulang is a thoughtful person and will never let go of his guard at any time. Li Qi smiled and said, "If drinking has such a use, then wouldn't it be stupid for me to swear not to drink?"
Decide."
The drunkard laughed and said, "If you think it's useful, then you have to give me some wine."
"No need to discuss."
Li Qi decisively refused, and then said: "I can help you go back."
The drunkard shook his head and said: "No, I want to lie alone for a while. Half an hour is not a long time. Don't worry, I will abide by the promise between me and Kai Jiulang, and all grievances will end today."
"Oh well."
Li Qi stood up and said, "I'll leave first."
"Thank you for giving me this opportunity."
Li Qi opened his mouth slightly, but finally remained silent and turned around to leave.
But just as Li Qi left, another person walked out from the side. He came to the drunkard, shook his head and held the wine jar in his hand and said, "Do you still have the strength to drink?"
"Haha, let me just say that you, Xiaoqiao, know me best in the world. You have prepared wine for me in advance."
"I just saw Bu Shuai here, so I took the time to go to the next village to buy it."
Ma Qiao stretched out a hand and saw the letter put into the drunkard's arms, and then stretched out his hand in front of the drunkard.
The drunkard looked at the hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally dropped the sharp dagger and stretched out his left hand. Ma Qiao firmly held the drunkard's hand, pulled him up directly, then put him on his shoulder with one hand and carried him with the other.
The wine jar walked toward a big tree not far away. Halfway there, he suddenly said: "I can help you get revenge."
The drunkard was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed, and smiled very happily. He shook his head slightly and said: "No need, it's not that I couldn't do it, I just wanted to repay him for giving my father half a year of life, from now on.
He no longer owes me anything, and I no longer owe him anything."
...
"Sir, we---we have lost track."
As soon as Li Qi came out of the woods, a "woodcutter" came quickly.
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said: "Forget it, if he doesn't want others to follow him, you can't follow him either."
"Yes. Oh, just now our people saw the horse guards and went in."
"Really?" Li Qi turned to look at the woods and said with a smile, "Nothing is important now."
...
At this time, it was already dark, and a pleasure boat was docked by the Yi River.
Wei Jiulang came to the boat, looked up at the boat, hesitated for a while, and then walked on.
"Benefactor."
When Wei Jiulang came to the boat, he saw seven or eight people standing inside. Among them were men and women, wearing various kinds of clothes, including cassocks, Taoist robes, skirts, Confucian clothes, and others from Su Hang.
Robe made of the finest silk.
When these people saw Wei Jiulang coming, they quickly stepped forward and saluted, looking respectful.
"These complicated etiquettes can be dispensed with." Gui Jiulang waved his hand and said, "I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly."
The monk said: "We all live in the south. After receiving the letter of grace, we rushed here immediately. There are many others on the way and we will be here soon."
Gui Jiulang nodded slightly, his eyes swept across the faces of these people, and hehe said: "In the blink of an eye, you have all changed a lot in twenty years!"
The woman in the skirt said: "But my benefactor has not changed at all."
"How can I not age? I am not a god." Gui Jiulang said with a self-deprecating smile.
The rich man couldn't hold back his excitement and stepped forward and said, "My dear friend, you are still alive. This is really great."
Gui Jiulang suddenly asked: "How many years have you been calling this benefactor?"
"Thirty years."
"Twenty-four years."
"Twenty-seven years."
.......
"Oh---it's been twenty or thirty years."
Gui Jiulang sighed and said, "I'm tired of hearing this. It's time to end all this."
Those people looked at each other, and the woman asked curiously: "Why did my benefactor say this?"
Kaijiro took out an envelope from his sleeve and handed it to the woman.
The woman took it and asked, "My benefactor, what is this?"
Gui Jiulang said: "Inside this envelope is a list. I believe the people on it will soon receive the news that I am still alive. If they don't make any movement, then there is no need to worry about it. However, if anyone makes any move,
, then you guys will help me send them off on this last journey, and this time I will eradicate the roots. I don’t want to leave any more troubles. After all, I don’t have much time to continue playing with them. After three years, you must give them
I have a conclusion. After this matter is settled, you and I will have nothing to do with each other. Do you understand me clearly?"
"Please rest assured, benefactor, I will definitely complete the mission."
A group of people said in unison.
"Okay! It's getting late. I have to go back. Some people are still waiting for me to go back for dinner. Oh, you don't need to send me away."
After Gui Jiulang finished speaking, he hurried out without waiting for them to speak.
Everyone was stunned and thought, who could make the benefactor so anxious?
The woman chased after him, "My benefactor, those other people---"
"You can tell them on my behalf that they should not disturb me again. Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind."
The sound came from under the boat.
...
"Dad, where have you been? Why haven't you told us yet? As a result, my mother and I have to wait here."
Shen Wen, who was squatting in front of the gate of the government office, saw his father coming back and hurriedly greeted him, with some complaints in his words.
Gui Jiulang patted his son on the shoulder and said hehe: "Sorry, sorry, dad went to meet some old friends and forgot to tell you. Dad promises that it won't happen again."
As he spoke, he looked at Yin behind Shen Wen.
Mrs. Yin came forward and said worriedly: "Dad, how about we go back to the valley to live." She had lived in the valley for a long time and felt a little uncomfortable with the outside world.
Gui Jiulang laughed and said: "No need, everything is over, go in."
Entering the government office, Gui Jiulang saw a figure standing in front of the lobby door. He smiled softly, "Boy, I'm going into seclusion. It's not because I'm afraid of being retaliated by others. It's just that I don't want to kill anyone anymore. But for their mother and son, I have already touched this pair."
Hands full of blood don’t mind painting them again with blood. (To be continued...)
