Chapter 54 Chapter 53 Faith

Eight months later. It's another winter, with ice and snow flying, and the wind biting. The whistling sound alone makes people reluctant to go out, but because it's approaching New Year's Day and it's the weekend, there are still many passers-by in a hurry on the street. Outside the Shuncheng Drug Rehabilitation Center, a Kia off-roader with a Renzhou license plate slowly drove up. The car was parked on the side of the road not far from the gate. The person in the car lit a cigarette and waited patiently. After dozens of minutes, the door of the drug rehabilitation center opened, and Mu Tianxing, who was dressed thickly, appeared at the door. After looking around for a while, he saw an off-road vehicle and walked straight over.

Mu Tianxing looked down at the car, then opened the door and got in. "I didn't expect you to come to pick me up." Pei Xuan smiled and handed over a cigarette. Mu Tianxing paused looking at the cigarette, but still took it. "I came back from a business trip and passed by Shun City. I remembered that today is the day when your mandatory drug rehab period expires, so I stopped by to have a look." Mu Tianxing exhaled a puff of smoke, and did not mention Shen Yiyi again. "How's it going inside? You look much better than before." "It's been a long time since I've had a drug addiction."

"That's good. Pack your bags, travel light, and start a new life. Any plans?" "How's Dumont?" "Oh, I have placed him in the Shuncheng Welfare Institute according to your instructions, and Han Yuzhen took care of him. I really don't understand that you killed his father, but you came back to take care of this child." "I owe it to his father. Some things couldn't be done earlier, but when they were done, it was too late." After a short pause, Mu Tianxing continued, "But if it wasn't because of the lateness, how could it be done?"

"Yeah." Pei Xuan nodded, as if he had realized something, "Maybe it's God's will. Who made you lucky, the only indirect witness, the proprietress of the small restaurant you and Du Yingquan went to, was in the court session The former unexpectedly died of a heart attack, and the prosecution only has a sketch drawn by an autistic child, even with your confession, and considering your mental illness history, it is still impossible to convict you.” "The half bottle of ether in my house is very important evidence." "What ether?" Mu Tianxing looked at Pei Yi's pretended surprise expression, and suddenly-smiled: "So that's the case. I have never figured out why the prosecution lacks evidence. Thank you."

Pei Xuan pretended to be inexplicable, "Thank me? I don't know what you are talking about. But this is not a good result. Although you escaped legal sanctions, you have obtained soul salvation. By the way, do you know that Chen Yizhan Has it been 'double-opened'?" "I saw the news from the newspaper, but the specific situation is not clear." "Thanks to those two USB flash drives, not only did he not go to Chengrenzhou, but he became a prisoner. I was also promoted to a higher level because of this case. I really have to thank you very much. It's a pity, I don't know what is the relationship between Chen Yizhan and his superiors , someone must protect him, otherwise this guy will die once. It's a pity." Pei Xuan sighed repeatedly, and said, "Fortunately, your master Luo Cong didn't fall into deep trouble. Why, he still hates you ?"

"I have no idea." "Don't think about it. It's almost time for dinner, let's have a meal together, you are familiar with Shuncheng, where can we eat?" Mu Tianxing looked at the street scene outside the car window and said, "Go to Pizza Hut." As the holiday approached, the pedestrian street was bustling with people, completely ignoring the howling of the north wind.At noon, there were a lot of people eating in Pizza Hut, and Pei Xuan and Mu Tianxing waited for a long time before getting their seats.Coincidentally, the dining table where they were sitting was the place where they conspired and cooperated last time.

"It's such a coincidence." Pei Xuan laughed, "Last time there were only the two of us here, how about it, make me another cup of coffee?" Mu Tianxing nodded with a smile. "By the way, I have always had a question." Pei Xuan leaned forward and said, "I remember you said that when Duan Qingshan and others went to the mental hospital to find Xia Yuan, your master Luo Cong once gave Xia Yuan Yuan looked at Feng Ge's photo, but Xia Yuan felt terrified and uneasy when he saw the photo, as if seeing a ghost. If Xia Yuan's worsening condition was caused by Yu Yufan and had nothing to do with Feng Ge, then why is he so afraid of Feng Ge?"

"What Xia Yuan is afraid of is not Feng Ge, but Feng Ge's photo." "Feng Ge's photo? Isn't it the same?" "No, here Yu Yufan played a little trick to confuse the task force. Have you ever heard of the experiment where the dog salivated when he heard the bell?" "Conditioned reflex." "Yu Yufan's little trick is similar. The key point here is that the police have exactly the same photos as Feng Ge's files with the mental hospital, because the mental hospital's information photos are from the police. There is a man named John in the United States. Watson's psychologist once conducted an experiment on a baby named Albert, which caused a normal baby boy to show fear reactions to small fur animals throughout his life. I speculate that Xia Yuan is Yu Yufan's little Albert, she may have shown Feng Ge's photo to the walking dead Xia Yuan before torturing Xia Yuan, so that after a long time, as long as he was shown Feng Ge's photo, he would be terrified. In fact, if Feng Ge If Ge is really standing beside Xia Yuan, he won't react."

"Oh, that's right. This John Watson is bad enough." Mu Tianxing smiled, "It was an experiment more than 90 years ago, and the laws and regulations of Americans in this area were not perfect at that time..." Pei Xuan suddenly saw Mu Tianxing's eyes fixed on one place, and his voice stopped, so he couldn't help but look back.Not far away, a couple is laughing and chatting affectionately while dining. "know?" "It's Zhengyang's wife. Once." Mu Tianxing stood up while talking, and walked towards the couple. "Hey, hey! What do you want to do? Don't cause trouble..." When Pei Xuan wanted to grab Mu Tianxing, Mu Tianxing had already walked by.Seeing this, Pei Xuan hurriedly followed.

Mu Tianxing stood by the couple's dining table, watching Li Yan without saying a word. Li Yan obviously recognized Mu Tianxing, and said with a little embarrassment: "What a coincidence..." "Deliciously means eating deliciously." Mu Tianxing interrupted the other party suddenly and said slowly, "Big in size, fast in happiness, blooming in flowers, in the Summer Palace, 'Yi' here refers to the cheeks. This It’s the last sentence that my good brother Zhou Zhengyang said to me, and it’s used as a metaphor for you to clean up after returning home because you broke your phone.” After speaking, he left the bewildered Li Yan and her boyfriend, turned and walked out of the restaurant.

Pei Yi hurriedly paid the bill and followed out. Before leaving, she looked at the pizza on the dining table and muttered, "I haven't finished eating such expensive biscuits..." "You can't ask everyone to be like you!" Pei Xuan followed behind Mu Tianxing in the wind and snow and said loudly, "The girl is only in her twenties, and she needs to start a new life." Mu Tianxing opened the car door and got in. After Pei Xuan got into the car, he said, "I know. I didn't want to blame her, and I don't have the right to blame others, but I just couldn't help but want to go and say that to her. Yang didn't deserve to die, he should have lived a happy life. I really wish it was me who died, not him." Pei Xuan hadn't found any suitable words to comfort him, and suddenly saw Mu Tianxing smiled, and then heard him say: "When I lived in the dormitory together, I saw him watching TV once, and there were a few men on TV dressed up. Look like a woman, jump up and down like a woman, sing like a woman, talk like a woman, by the way, what is the show called a good man... or a good man, in short, it is to select a person who is most like a eunuch , and insisted on saying that he is the most manly. I asked Zhengyang, why do you want to watch this kind of idiot program? Zhengyang said, I just want to see how they are so dick, it will make me feel like a smart person .” After saying that, Mu Tianxing laughed to himself. Pei Xuan was also amused, nodded and said with a smile: "He is a smart person." Mu Tianxing said: "Are you in a hurry to go back to Renzhou? If you are not in a hurry to take me to the orphanage, I want to see Du Meng and Mother Han." "No problem at all." In the office of the Shuncheng Welfare Institute, Han Yuzhen was talking with Pei Xuan and Mu Tianxing.Outside the window, many children were happily playing snowball fights, while a boy was sitting alone on a cold stone bench in the corner, staring blankly at the laughter of others. Han Yuzhen looked at the boy and said, "Du Meng is the same as you when you were young. He doesn't like to communicate with others. He is very guarded, and other children dare not approach him. But don't worry, I will take good care of him. Don't bring him here to meet you?" "No, I'll be scared if he sees him. Find him the best psychiatrist, and I'll pay for the diagnosis. I'll see him often, but don't tell him I'm there." "I see." Before leaving, Mu Tianxing suddenly remembered something, turned his head and said to Han Yuzhen: "Mother Han, thank you for taking care of me before, thank you." Han Yuzhen's eyes suddenly became moist, and she couldn't help hugging the child she had taken care of for thirteen years. The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and a thick layer has accumulated on the ground. It makes a creaking sound when you step on it, which is very pleasant to hear. "It can be seen that you have changed a lot. What's your plan next?" Pei Yi asked before breaking up. "I want to go out for a walk, walk around." "Hehe, good, good! Seeing you like this, I'm really happy for you." Pei Xuan stretched out his hand, "Then goodbye, keep in touch, maybe one day I will need your help again." Mu Daxing shook Pei Xuan's hand and smiled: "Goodbye." "Hi!" After getting in the car, Pei Xuan suddenly rolled down the window glass and asked loudly, "What is your belief?" Mu Tianxing looked back at Pei Xuan for a long time, and finally said, "Live, live. Sew and mend, and do what you can." Shen Yiyi's ashes are stored in the Missing Family Garden of Shuncheng Cemetery. Facing her portrait, Mu Tianxing gently wiped the dust off the shelf. "In rehab last night, I had insomnia again. Remember what I told you? The feeling of insomnia is infinite. The night is stretched infinitely, as if there is no end. Thinking of coming here to say goodbye to you, I wrote A letter, it seems that I have never written a letter to you before. It is a pity to think about it. The electronic world has destroyed the most valuable things for human beings. I remember that you used to write down what you wanted to say on paper and put it secretly. In my pocket. Those papers are folded into many patterns and are the most precious works of art to me. "I often recall the pictures of being with you in the past, everything is like a dream, as if it was an experience in a previous life, the more pleasant the mood at that time, the more painful the feeling now. "Why can't time be reversed? I have dreamed of that snowy night countless times, throwing everything aside to greet you, you standing in the distance, waving to me excitedly... "Time after time, those scenes only happened in another world. Yes, you are already a person in another world to me. You will never know how painful it is to lose you. "I never knew what fear was, and I always looked at everything with a blind eye, but when I faced your mutilated corpse, I finally realized my fragility and helplessness. Why am I just a mortal? Why didn't I have the chance to correct my mistakes ? "It's a terrible thing to face reality. It took me nearly thirty years and the pain of losing you to understand it. But for more than two years, I simply didn't have the courage to face reality. I miss you, Really, I don't know what else I can do besides missing you. Forgive me, if it wasn't for my missing you can't break free all the time, how could your soul entangle me? "I want to record this longing through words, and I found out my stupidity when I picked up a pen. Many of our feelings that we think are very important, no matter whether they are turned into words or words, they will become so pale and powerless. However, I still write to you I wrote this letter. Because I want to tell you that from this moment on, I will gradually forget you, just like forgetting the experience of my previous life. Your soul can be free..." He lit the letter he had just pulled out.In an instant, it disappeared into the cold air like a blue ghost, and a wisp of smoke slowly drifted away from Shen Yiyi's portrait. Finally, tears welled up in his eyes, his face twitched uncontrollably, and he sat down slowly on the ground as if he was exhausted, leaning against the row of wooden frames and weeping silently for a long, long time. It has snowed all day, and looking out from the warm interior, this polluted and dusty county town shows a rare beauty.However, those homeless people who exist in it don't know that they are being admired by others at the moment. Yin - can also feel the cold.Many people are crowded in the ticket office of Shuncheng Railway Station. There is free heating here. They don't care whether their lives are meaningful or not. They care whether their bodies will be attacked by the cold. Mu Tianxing walked through several chattering beggars with his travel bag on his back, and came to a ticket window.A minute later, he walked towards the waiting hall, his walking posture seemed stable, with a feeling of no worries. After Mu Tianxing walked away, a figure hurried to the ticket window, took out his ID, and asked, "Where did that person buy the ticket just now?" "Beijing." The crisp voice of the female conductor came from inside. "Beijing?" Pei Xuan turned his head and looked in the direction of the waiting hall suspiciously.
