Chapter 17 Chapter Seventeen

She sighed for a long time: "Actually, after half a year of treatment in the United States, I slowly recovered my memory and my body functions gradually returned to normal. Even so, the wounds in my heart were difficult to heal, and it took me another ten years to recover. It took many years to reassemble the broken heart and dare to see you with today's face." "Today's face?" With a scream, the silver-purple peonies burst into the air, and the fireworks started again! He held her face in his hands, she had to close her eyes, the fireworks were too bright... "Where's your face? Where's Yuan Jia's face?"

"It's all ruined...no more..." The cold water dripped onto "her" face, merging with her tears.The man used all his strength to hug this woman with a strange face into his arms.He seemed to be talking about something, but was covered by the roar of fireworks. "You're not telling the truth." What she heard clearly was such a sentence, and she raised her head in surprise. Under the bright and dark, colorful sky, Li Weilian's face suddenly looked a little hideous. "If you are wandering the streets of Shenzhen alone because you didn't wait for Zhang Huabin at the train station, then you must have all your luggage with you. Even if you temporarily store your luggage, you must at least carry your money and identity. Yuan Jia, such a clumsy lie can’t fool me. You met at the train station, right? Not only did you meet, but something must have happened between you, and then,” during the interval between the fireworks, he bit The voice of clenched teeth was so real, "You hit that car by yourself..."

"No!" This shrill cry was annihilated in the loud noise of the fire tree bursting. Please, don't ask, and I won't answer! "Well, even if you answered the first question. Now you have to answer my second question: why did you come back, and why did you wait for half a year to show up?" "I came to China with my husband." "your husband?" "His last name is Higgins, David Higgins." She couldn't bear to look at his pale face, and after a while, there was an extremely sad smile on this face: "So you are the Chinese lady that Dai Xi mentioned."

"No, Willian, David never discusses his patients with me. Your matter... I just found out not long ago, really. Listen to me, the American who rescued me is David's own brother. They are two brothers. I studied brain surgery, and one studied neurology and psychology. After I arrived in the United States, david assisted his brother in treating me. Because I lost part of my memory, he helped me recover my memory from the perspective of psychology and neurology. The more important thing is to adjust my traumatized psychology, and we gradually fell in love with each other in this process. After these years of marriage, I lived a peaceful life in the United States, and went to school to complete the course of community management. Do charity work. Near the end of last year, David told me that he had an opportunity to be a visiting scholar in China, and to study the psychological state of Chinese people during the period of rapid social change with his Chinese counterparts. He was very interested in this topic, and I I have been away from China for 18 years, and I have no understanding of the earth-shaking changes that have taken place in China in these years. He strongly suggested that I go back to China to have a look. Of course, the premise is that I am mentally prepared to face the past and regain the painful past. I thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to come back. We arrived in Shanghai after Christmas last year."

"Well, it was earlier than I guessed." Once Li Weilian's tone softened, he became very gentle, "Community management and charity—this is what Yuan Jia should do in my mind. For a long time, this It's the only good news I've heard. But Yuan Jia, you haven't answered me yet, why did you come back? Not only to accompany your husband, but also to go back to China for sightseeing!" "I miss China, I miss Shanghai, I miss 'Yi Yuan', and I miss my mother-in-law who stayed alone in the funeral parlor..." "Have you been to 'Yi Garden'?"

"I only passed by outside the fence. Maybe it's because of the closeness to the hometown, but I didn't dare to look at 'her' more when I really came. However, I saw it all today." She couldn't help holding his hand, her two faces were raised together, the bright night reflected the "Yi Garden" as crystal clear as jade, and the flowers all over the sky seemed to put a splendid corolla on her. Like a well-dressed bride, she couldn't help muttering to herself: "How beautiful she is, it's as beautiful as a dream. Grandpa would be so happy if he could see it..."

"May I therefore beg your forgiveness?" "forgive?" "Yes, for your grandpa's death." He pulled away his hand decisively, and she suddenly felt that her hands were empty, with nothing to rely on and nothing to rely on. "...That was just an accident, and it has already been concluded." "Don't deceive yourself, Yuan Jia. If there were no doubts, how could you and I stop contacting after that accident? Wasn't it because I couldn't explain clearly that I was ashamed to face you? Wasn't it because I had doubts? I can't bear to doubt, and you didn't have the courage to face me? Facts have proved that escaping is the most stupid thing, and we just missed most of our lives in vain. Yuan Jia, more than 20 years have passed, and there is no need for us to continue like this! Now I can tell you that I have found the person who framed me back then, she lives opposite, she witnessed the whole incident from the window, and she can definitely clarify for me!"

The return of the stubborn little boy made her feel both affectionate and sad. "Wei Lian, there's really no need. Standing here with you today, knowing that you have been taking good care of 'Yi Garden', there are no doubts of any kind." He lowered his head, as if waiting for another burst of wild fireworks to pass. Gold flowers and silver leaves fell like drizzle one after another, shining persistently in his eyes. "Yuan Jia, you are so kind. No matter what kind of harm you suffer, you can only bear it, endure it, and at most avoid it. I did this to the one who suspected that your grandfather was killed, but now I am so hurt by the other one. The person who broke your heart and almost forced you to death, you are still like this! I really don’t know how you will know how to pursue, know how to hate, and know how to take revenge!"

The sound of tearing the silk, tore open the weakest heart - pursuit, hatred, revenge!Even if I had the strength to do it, it would be impossible for you two, you and him!Don't you understand that the two of you have the most true love for Yuan Jia at the beginning of life, the love and family affection that you will not give up even if you are smashed to pieces! "Well, let me do what you don't want to do!" "what are you going to do?!" "I want revenge." The fireworks show has reached its final climax, with the sound of thunder one after another, and the blossoming golden flowers are rushing fearlessly towards the boundless darkness after a moment of blooming.Let life burn out at this moment, there is nothing to be nostalgic for!

"Revenge? Who do you want revenge on?" "You know!" "No!" she yelled tearfully, but her yell was immediately swallowed up by the bang. "You can be tolerant, but I can't do it! Yuan Jia, you must have known the right and wrong of what happened to me, and maybe you have read some information from your husband. Yes, today I am no longer familiar to you. For many years, I have been soaked in filthy desires, and the emptiness in my heart is beyond words, let alone filled! I hate my behavior, and I hate my weakness even more. And someone, someone just wants to use my heart The deepest pain. Yuan Jia, what he hurt and destroyed was not only me and my family, he also dragged another family and other innocent people into the abyss of destruction, he even... made a child suffer the pain I once suffered He forced me to watch the same hatred continue in the next generation. It is him, with such vicious intentions! He raised me from victim to perpetrator, he wants me to go to hell, he wants me I will never be free!...Yuan Jia, this is the man, I hate him! I must take revenge!"

The word "hate" that had been borne for her for more than thirty years finally broke out uncontrollably. The invisible iron braze was heavily branded on Yuan Jia's heart. Li Weilian cherished her tearful face: "Although you won't say it, I know why you came to me now. Yuan Jia, you must have felt something. You wanted to intercede for him, right? ?” She was speechless. He shook his head lightly: "'What kind of a man is a big bullying a small one'. Just because of your words, I have treated him with kindness and righteousness for decades. But what is the use? His resentment towards me has accumulated more and more Deep, to the point where I will be put to death and then quickly... The grievances between me and him must be resolved, Yuan Jia, this time...you are absolutely unstoppable." "...What will happen to him?" She tried her best to ask this sentence. He didn't answer. "Can you, can you..." He held her hands tightly again, rubbing the scar over and over again. "It's too late, everything is irreparable. If you stop now, the result will be... I die. Yuan Jia, I can die for you. If you want to do this, tell me now!" The final moment came, and the entire sky was filled with bright red roses. The desolate beauty lasted for nearly a minute, and was finally completely swallowed by the darkness. At the same time, Yuan Jia was also devoured, and she was distraught and left without looking back.This time, it's really a farewell! The night sky is full of gunpowder smoke, and the stars and the moon are gone.After the heyday, only loneliness is eternal. The splendor is gone, and so are the people. On the empty lawn of "Yi Garden", there is only a shambling black shadow left.No matter how tall his body was, he couldn't bear the desolation at this moment. Li Weilian walked unsteadily, and when he came under the canopy of the lilac tree, he seemed to be unable to hold on any longer, leaning against the tree trunk. Well, what is that? A yellow puppy curled up in a ball, clinging to the root of the tree, motionless.Li Weilian leaned down with difficulty, and cautiously reached out to touch it. It neither hid nor fled. It timidly looked at the stranger in front of it with sad eyes, and lowered its head docilely, its whole body was still trembling. . "So it was you." He recognized it, it was the stray puppy, who seemed to have been frightened by the fireworks just now. Regardless of the fact that the puppy's fur was filthy and knotted, and the eyes and paws were covered with black dirt, Li Weilian hugged it into his arms, and gently stroked this fragile little body. It seemed to have calmed down a little, and under his caress, it let out a low hum, and squirmed its little head towards his chest. "Well, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's over." The man who held it said with a smile, but the tears couldn't stop streaming down the puppy's nose.
