Chapter 22 end

The summer wind blew in from the window, and someone called me softly: "Chen'er, goodbye." I could see that the high-rise buildings outside the window were gone, replaced by green hills and beautiful waters, green willows and red flowers. There was a pair of naive but handsome boys and girls standing in front of the mountains and smiling at me. who is it?I secretly wondered, our family does not have such country relatives, who are these two children? The girl scolded me: "Really, I forgot us so quickly." Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I realized that it was Xu Nongqin and Zhong Chubo.It was Xu Nongqin and Zhong Chubo in their youth.It was the best time in Xu Nongqin and Zhong Chubo's life.

If time can be turned back, if the wrong things they have done can be changed, I think they will definitely hope to return to their carefree teenage years, to be a pair of brother and sister birds who love each other purely, and stay away from all the greed that happened later. , crime, and mutual hatred and killing. At this moment, I suddenly remembered that it has been eighty-one days since Nongqin's death today, and tonight will be the moment when she will finally bid farewell to the world. don't go. So, just now, they were saying goodbye to me, right?But why did Zhong Chubo bid farewell to me?How could the two of them be together?Could it be that Nong Qinhun wanted to take him away with all his might when he was in ecstasy?

I'm surprised that I miss Zhong Chubo.Caring about him involuntarily, caring about him.For the first time, I discovered that missing someone turned out to be like this, so eager and desperate.I don't know where he is now, what he's doing, if he's safe, or even if he's alive.There is no way to guess. Who can tell me?tell me how is he?Have you encountered danger in the forest?If he is sick or injured, who will take care of him?Did he continue to flee or did he find a shelter? Suddenly, I remembered the scene in my dream, jumped up suddenly, and suddenly realized that it was Qinling!He is in Qinling!He has always been in Qinling and never left!

According to his logic, the most dangerous place is the safest place. Everyone knows that he has escaped, so the police will only conduct a simple search as a routine. It is absolutely unexpected that he has the audacity to stay in Qinling and not leave.It is easy for Zhong Chubo to hide from the police for a day or two. After searching the mountain, he will return to the bridal chamber and be with the hare and the bird. My thoughts flew out uncontrollably, and I suddenly remembered the sunset I had seen on the highway on the day I fled. In this world, some people like to watch the sunrise, and some people like to watch the sunset.

I belong to the latter. The sunrise and sunset are instant, both spectacular and dazzling.But while the rising sun brings hope to people, it also seems to say that the future is long and there is no need to worry. The setting sun is the last farewell. The more intense it burns, the more completely it will disappear. Retrievable regret. Zhong Chubo's love is like a sunset in the sky, right? I have a feeling that he refuses to leave Qinling, not only because it is relatively safe there, but also because he hopes that I will go back one day, he is waiting for me! He is waiting for me!Zhong Chubo is waiting for me!

Suddenly, I couldn't restrain myself, I couldn't wait, and decided to go to see him at this moment, immediately, immediately, immediately. Yes, I want to see him, I want to go back, back to Qinling, back to the bridal chamber, back to the place where my dream started. I suddenly jumped up and opened the door, only to see Yiran standing in front of the door, saying, "Are you awake?" It turned out that he hadn't left all afternoon, and was waiting in the living room for me to wake up. There was a very unnatural smile on his face, and the subsequent explanation made me understand the reason for the unnaturalness. He said: "I heard from the waiter in the teahouse that you went there in the morning, but you didn't see Wuyou."

I feel sad, and feel that there are so many things I want to say to him, but I can't take care of them right now, I just look at him apologetically: "Yiran, I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry to go out." He stopped at the door, as if he didn't hear what I said, and just said along his own train of thought: "I don't know what you heard, but I promise, I will be loyal to you after marriage, and I will never change my heart." "NEVER SAY NO!" Yiran was taken aback. I gently explained: "Never say no. Therefore, forever is a very long time. During the period of 'forever', many things are difficult to grasp, so don't say no easily, and don't say no lightly. forever."

Before I was rescued, he was not loyal to me "forever"; after I was rescued, he also failed to be loyal to Wuyou "forever".Then, how can I believe that after marriage, he will really give me "forever"? Yi Ran became anxious: "Chen'er, I think there is some misunderstanding between us, we must explain it clearly immediately." "The person who should listen to your explanation is Wuyou." I gently interrupted him, "Well, I understand that Wuyou is a good girl. If I were a man, I would fall in love with her too." Yiran's expression froze suddenly, his eyes changed rapidly, unfathomable.

I stared at him, and said more clearly: "When I was half asleep, I heard you discuss the whereabouts of your relationship with Wuyou." "We can't be sorry for her," they said. "She's hurt so badly, she's so lonely, it's when she needs help the most, we can't hurt her anymore." "I thought that when we finally rescued her safely, I wouldn't owe her anything. But when I saw her, I knew that I couldn't do it, I couldn't hurt her. She needs you more than I do." Kindly, kindly worry-free.In fact, at that time I should have thought of making way for them, but the trust in Yiran and Wuyou made me ignore the involuntary love, and I regretted that I woke up too late.For a long time, I was only immersed in my pain, but I forgot that the torment of love Wuyou endured may be deeper and heavier than mine.

On that rainy afternoon, she once told me her love story, she said: "For the third time, I finally met someone who was worthy of my love and he loved me, but it was too late. If it appears, it is doomed to have no results, which is wrong.” At that time, I should have known that the third person, yes, yes! Carefree love is too painful, time and time again, I miss the love of her life, this time, I can't let her miss it again! I looked at Yiran, and said more sincerely: "What I said is true, Yiran, Wuyou is so beautiful and kind, and loves you so much, even to the point of giving up love for the sake of love. And I believe that you Love her the same way, because no one can get along with worry-free day and night without falling in love with her. You chose me at first, but because I appeared one step earlier than her. But there is still time to correct it, otherwise, don’t be fooled by face and Responsibility, and give up the true love in your heart. There is nothing in the world that will make you happier than getting the person you really love."

Mother screamed: "Chen'er, what nonsense are you talking about? Do you have a fever? Then, don't listen to her..." I didn't delay any longer, I pushed Yiran's arm away and walked out. Since he didn't keep me, maybe he should think about it carefully and re-experience the feelings between himself and others. Mom didn't call me either, she was busy trying to appease me. I took the opportunity to walk out of the house, withdrew money from the cash machine on the side of the road, and took a taxi to the airport without any hesitation. Strangely, once she decided to give up her love for Yiran, her sad heart calmed down instead, and she no longer felt the dull pain that had lasted for a long time. Yiran is a doctor, but he has never been able to cure my heart disease, nor can he use a scalpel to dissect love.Now, I decided to bid farewell to this doctor, but my heartache healed without any doctor.Perhaps, I agree, it was really just a misunderstanding from beginning to end. An hour later, I was already sitting on a passenger plane bound for Xi'an. Then I got off the plane, transferred to a long-distance bus, changed to a taxi, and then walked for a while... When night fell, I finally reached the foot of the Qinling Mountains, only then did I realize that there were police officers everywhere on the mountain. I grabbed a bystander: "What happened here?" "A fugitive was surrounded. He took a family of five hostages and is negotiating terms with the police." I just felt a "buzz" in my head, and I almost stopped thinking. It took a long time to react: "Who is leading the police?" "Captain Hu of the criminal police team." I immediately asked a criminal police officer nearby: "Please inform Captain Hu that Lu Chen'er is here and I want to see him." The criminal policeman spoke a few words on the walkie-talkie, then looked at me in surprise: "Captain Hu, please go over." I walked up to the innermost layer of the encirclement, and as soon as Fang approached, I could already smell a strong smell of formalin, stronger and more intense than anything I had ever experienced before.Get the soul of the piano, she really has come. Seeing me, Captain Hu immediately came up to meet me: "Lu Chen'er, why are you here?" I didn't have time to speak, so I asked him, "Where is Zhong Chubo?" "In that farmhouse. It turned out that he had never left Qinling, and he had been catching peek-a-boo with us for a month. It wasn't until recently that the farmers heard that there were ghosts in the mountain, and they united to exorcise the ghosts. Then we found his trace. We drove away as soon as we received the alarm. He came, but it was still a step too late. He had already kidnapped a family of five, young and old, as hostages. He just made a condition that we should provide a cash transport vehicle within two hours. Otherwise, he would kill a hostage every ten minutes. .” "What are you going to do?" "Follow what he said first, and slowly look for opportunities to attack. Lu Chen'er, it's best if you come. You've been with him for so long and he hasn't hurt you, or you can persuade him to surrender." At this time, a criminal policeman came to report: "Captain Hu, the armored vehicle has arrived." "Very good." Captain Hu thought for a while, and immediately had an idea, "Lu Chen'er, can you drive?" "Yes. How?" "I think, if you are the driver, it will be easier to gain his trust, and it will be safer than other people's drivers. When he surrenders the hostage, you can persuade him to surrender." "Okay, as long as the family of five can be rescued, I'm willing to help." "Thank you, you are very brave." In fact, he was wrong, I am not brave, I just want to help Zhong Chubo.I don't want to see him do more evil. Captain Hu raised the microphone in his hand and shouted loudly: "Zhong Chubo, listen, the cash transport truck is parked outside your door now, you can release the hostages." "Who knows if there is an ambush in your car?" It was Zhong Chubo's voice.Hearing his voice, my heart suddenly jumped wildly. Captain Hu shouted: "I assure you, there is only one female driver in the car, absolutely no police." "Bring the car over, I want to check, if you play tricks, I will kill the hostages." I wondered why Captain Hu didn't directly say that the person in the car was me, but I didn't have time to think too much, and slowly drove the car closer according to his gestures. Zhong Chubo's figure appeared at the gate of the courtyard. Five people, old, young and young, stood shyly in front and back, each with a small bomb strapped to his body, and the lead wire was held in Zhong Chubo's hand. Seeing him, I couldn't bear it anymore, opened the door and jumped out of the car: "Zhong Chubo, stop killing people." "Chen'er?" Zhong Chubo was stunned, let go of his hand and pushed the person in front of him away, staring at me in disbelief, "Chen'er, is that you?" "It's me, I'll come to see you." I ran towards him. At this moment, I forgot everything. What I saw in my eyes was only his tall body standing upright between the sky and the earth. Apart from that, I couldn't see anything else, and I couldn't think of anything else. And he was running towards me, running towards me. "Chen'er, it's really you!" The gun went off! I stopped suddenly, my mind blank. Gunshots rang out intensively, and I watched Zhong Chubo fall down on me, blood streaming down his face. But he tried hard to widen his eyes, as if he wanted to look at me clearly for the last time, and imprint me in his heart. He looked at me, that look, that look as if he had forgotten everything in the world and didn't care about everything. At the last moment of his life, the only desire was to see me clearly and remember me clearly so that he would not miss it in the next life . He, Zhong Chubo, this killer with careful thoughts, calm demeanor, and the world collapsing in front of him without changing his face, at this moment, in this moment of indifference, he forgot all his precautions, gave up all his scheming, and hurried out to meet me . He said that a killer, a desperado, must not relax for even a second, and must not have any entanglement or restraint, otherwise, it will be the moment when his life ends. And I, I am the terminator of his cold life. I held his hand, and was brought down, kneeling on the ground, his blood flowed across my forehead and onto my hand, red and viscous, with white foam bulging.I instinctively used my hands to plug the wound, but it couldn't be blocked, the blood just kept gushing out, gushing out, warm and rapid, unstoppable. He smiled, still looking at me fixedly, and said in a low voice: "Chen'er, I'm so happy that you are crying, you care about me..." I cried, yes, my tears flowed down more violently and unhindered than his blood, and I choked up and shouted: "Zhong Chubo, don't die, don't die..." "I'm glad to see you again before I die, I'm so glad to see you again..." His voice weakened. I yelled: "Zhong Chubo! Zhong Chubo!" "Chen'er, I have done... many things wrong in this life, but there is one thing I... I did not do wrong... that is... that is..." "Zhong Chubo! Zhong Chubo!" "Love...fuck...you!" His head tilted down.he died. he died! But I still held his hand and hugged his head, as if dying with him. At least some part of me died with him. There was a rumble in my mind, as if there were thousands of troops coming, but there seemed to be nothing.All the noise and restlessness disappeared, only Zhong Chubo's last smile became the only freeze frame in the world.There is only him in my eyes, and only him in my heart.But, but he will leave me and go to a world beyond my reach. he died!From then on, he can no longer laugh at me, get angry at me, and tell me that he loves me. Those words spoken in the mountains suddenly sounded in my ears: "What are you thinking again?" "Whatever I want to send you to the gallows." "Hmph, if there is such a day, I will definitely apply to let you be my executioner, to see if you can do it. Are you sure you really want me to die?" "No, I respect all life, and I don't want to see anyone die. But I believe that there is justice in the world. You have done too many bad things, and there will be retribution." ... "If you don't care about winning or losing, you won't lose. A person will only make mistakes and fail when he is very nervous about something. So I also believe that the police can't find us, because I also don't care. Death. If you don't care about death, you won't die naturally." "In this world, is there really no one or anything that you care about?" "Yes, it's you." ... Now, finally, I personally sent him to the gallows, and made him pay for all his crimes.However, my heart is so painful, the pain is unstoppable.Because I know that the weapon I rely on is not just justice and kindness, but his love for me. Yes, it is love.As he himself said, because he cared too much about me, his love for me became his deadly door, which made him fail and lead him to death. Only at this moment did I know how important his love is to me. Only at this moment did I know what I had lost. Only at this moment did I finally understand that the person who loves me the most in this world is actually It's not Ke Yiran but Zhong Chubo. And I, I love him just as much. Yes, I love Chung Chu Bo.When I held his hand and saw him die in my arms, when I knew that I would never see him again, I finally admitted that I had already fallen in love with him!Fall in love with a murderer! From the day I found out that Xu Nongqin died unjustly, I have been thinking all the time to bring him to justice and risk my life for my life.Now, he is finally dying in my arms, when his blood is gradually draining, when his body is cooling down every second, I know desperately that I love him! I love him!at the end of his life. However, I never had the chance to tell him again... I wailed, my body was burned, and my heart was broken. The people behind surrounded me, but I refused to let go of Zhong Chubo.It seemed that someone was pulling my arm, and it seemed that someone was persuading me, but I couldn't hear or feel it.I just hugged him tightly, not allowing anyone to separate us. At this time, a gust of wind blew, and a thick fog suddenly rose between the sky and the earth, covering everything, including the moonlight.The cold wind echoed in the mountains and forests, I heard Xu Nongqin's smile clearly, she finally got her revenge. Zhong Chubo's body in his arms cooled down quickly, as if he was much lighter.I knew that Xu Nongqin came to take him away, and their souls would finally meet in another world.There is an unfinished account between them, about love and hate, but now, their love and hate should be over, and their story should also be over. If there is an afterlife, I will bless them, forever and ever. The fog dissipated, the moon shone coldly and brightly again, a gust of wind rang through the forest, and the smell of formalin suddenly dissipated. I seemed to see Zhong Chubo and Xu Nongqin in their youth holding hands, far away. Flying far away to the top, like a pair of loving brother and sister birds, flying higher and higher, farther and farther, gradually reaching the depths of the moonlight... Postscript: A few notes As soon as the novel was finished, a friend asked, "Is this the sequel to your previous novel?" They ask this because the protagonists in the two books have the same name. They don't know, in fact, I am very helpless to do so. Helplessly repeating himself, the hero in the book used the same method to kill his jealous wife. It's a repetition of myself to myself. I don't want to admit that Qian donkey is poor, and I can't bear to prevaricate readers like this, so I have to pretend to be upright and use the same names as the protagonists in the novel: Zhong Chubo, Xu Nongqin, and Lu Chen'er.Consider it a bit sloppy as a sequel. But strictly speaking, this cannot be regarded as a real sequel, because the two stories are irrelevant. At most, it can only be said that the latter is an underworld version of the former. Because it's a ghost story. There are no ghosts in the world.Ghosts only exist in the hearts of those who are afraid of ghosts. The storyteller is afraid of ghosts, so he wrote a ghost story. You don't have to believe it. You must not believe it. However, you can like the story.Because it is really beautiful. And, there's no shortage of truth. At least, "Shui Wuyou" is a real place, a place where I often drink tea.There is a female boss who is as beautiful and noble as Wuyou, but she doesn't know Ke Yiran, so she is not called Wuyou. The most important thing is that although ghosts are fake, life is real. So, this is a story about life.Life is the only thing in the world that cannot be repeated, and we must give it enough respect.
