Bulwark of Light

Chapter 138 Sisters ([-])

A breeze blows.

The dead leaves on the small barren hills are blown up by the wind. In late autumn, the air is mostly dry, and the moisture in the leaves has dried up. These leaves are dryly entwined, making a crisp rustling sound.

A few dead leaves were dry and slapped Song Ci's cheeks crisply.

There are also the harsh and unpleasant crows echoing on the mountain, all reminding him——

All this is true.

small land.

Really come back.

Song Ci had thought more than once, if one day Xiao Lu came back... what would he say when we met again.

But when it really came to this moment, the original prediction was useless, my mind went blank, and I couldn't remember even a word of those words that I had rehearsed in front of the mirror in the past.

The top of the mountain in late autumn, the dead leaves flying by, this picture is frozen, filled with a touch of sadness.

No one spoke, so the top of the mountain was quiet.

The woman with tied red hair kept her movements unchanged, and slowly kowtowed to the wooden tablet. During the whole process, there was only the rustling sound of dead leaves on the top of the mountain.

After the worship, Nan Jin picked up the scabbard and stood up. She lowered her eyes, pressed the handle of the knife under the windbreaker, and walked slowly towards the time of coming.

"Excuse me."

A voice without emotion.

The madam didn't move, she stopped in front of her sister, looked at the face full of stubbornness, her eyes were full of herself back then.

"Ten years have passed..."

Lu Nanzhi greeted softly, "I thought you wouldn't come back this year."

"Is there a difference?"

Nan Jin raised her head, "Come back or not, dead or alive... Is there any difference to you?"

"You are my sister."

Madam spoke again, but her voice was interrupted the next second.

"I'm not..." Nan Jin shook her head, "I erased my surname and cut off contact with you from the name. From the day I left Dadu, I am no longer your sister."

"But you are still from the Lu family." Lu Nanzhi frowned, trying her best to maintain a calm and gentle tone.

"Yeah...it doesn't mean anything even if the surname is erased. Of course, I am still from the Lu family, because I have been investigating the tragedy in Lion Lane for ten years. I still remember the old Lu lying in a pool of blood, and I still remember the The scene where the alley was surrounded by spectators, I still remember the grief and anger that all this brought me. I searched all over Dongzhou, looking for the truth, looking for evidence, just because I am from the Lu family." Nan Jin raised her head, her eyes full of With gloomy anger, she asked coldly, word by word: "But, you, are you?"

Lu Nanzhi was stunned.

She opened her mouth, choking on a thousand words, but at this moment she couldn't utter a single word.

"I used to have such a sister. She is an unattainable genius in the eyes of everyone. She has abundant talents and learning, the courage of one in a million, and countless virtues."

Nan Jin spoke slowly: "I used to regard her as an idol in my heart, and tried my best to become such an excellent person...but then I found out that I was wrong. All these are superficial illusions, and she does not deserve my respect .”

"After Lao Lu died, what did you do?"

Nan Jin asked coldly and forcefully: "After the collapse of the Lu family, who is the biggest winner? Do you know what is being said in the streets and alleys? Can't you see the 'truth' that even a ten-year-old child can understand? ? You are my elder sister, how can you... get along with the Zhao family who has embezzled flowers!"

After saying this, she turned slightly sideways, passed Lu Nanzhi, and walked down the mountain alone.

From the moment Nan Jin broke out in anger, Madam didn't say a single word.

She fell silent.

Quiet and dull like a wooden man.

Nan Jin's every question was like a bullet, hitting her heart, but she just stood silently, enduring it all.

Standing on the last stone step on the top of the mountain, I can just see my father's monument.

"Ma'am... are you okay?"

After hearing these words, Song Ci's expression was very complicated.

Lu Nanzhi waved her hand, indicating that she was fine. From the beginning to the end, her expression didn't change much, because the criticism just now was nothing. She had experienced more violent words and more heart-wrenching attacks than this... But if someone carefully observed Madam's expression, they would find that when Nan Jin resolutely left, there was a moment of sadness in her eyes, but it was quickly covered up.

"Since you are willing to go back to Dadu, it's a good thing." She took a light breath, her voice a little hoarse, "You and Nan Jin are old friends, go after her, don't let her just go away."

"……Yes."

The crow sighed in his heart, and he ran down the mountain.

Lu Nanzhi was the only one left on the desolate hill.

She came to her father's grave, took out a small bottle of wine from her bosom, and slowly poured it in front of the wooden monument. The dead leaves were wet, and there was a faint roar of the wind. , one part is kept by Song Ci, and the other part is kept by Lu Nanzhi. Only some will be dumped every year during the tomb sweeping and worship.

The wooden tablet engraved with "The Unknown Lu Cheng", who drank the lion's sober wine, became bright red.

That is the spiritual element burning logic and rules.

It looked like someone opened their eyes, looking at Jing Jing and Lu Nanzhi.

"Father... have you seen it? Nan Jin is back and has grown up."

Madam opened her mouth softly, with a three-point soft smile on her face: "But she is still the same as before, stubborn, stubborn... Actually, I am quite happy for her. She has been away for ten years and has not been changed by the environment. It’s not easy.”

"She still can't understand what I'm doing."

"I can't understand...what are you and I working so hard for?"

"But I believe that day will come soon."

Lu Nanzhi took a sip of Shixingjiu lightly, her cheeks turned a third of blush, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"Another year has passed, and everyone is struggling to find the 'secret key'... Without the 'secret key', the conference room in the deep water area may be overturned at any time, and the people in the conference room dare not show their true colors " She smiled and said, "Sometimes I myself wonder, does there really be such a thing as a 'secret key'? Could all this be a big lie?"

The red light of the stele blinked like an eye.

No one can give her an answer.

"Just at the last meeting...someone said he had found the 'secret key' and sent it to my city..."

Lu Nanzhi smiled in a low voice, and said: "It's just that the 'Red Gate' didn't respond, and that 031 didn't speak very reliably...but it doesn't matter, this is not the first time that we returned with hope and disappointment...we It can still persist for many years, but the deep sea evolves too fast, and I am afraid that there is not much time left."

Only in front of this wooden monument, the lady looks like a little girl.

She can confide her heart and mind without any scruples.

"By the way, there is another piece of news, very important..."

"The election of the vacant parliamentary seat is about to begin."

When Lu Nanzhi said these words, there was no joy in Lu Nanzhi's eyes, only sarcasm, "Zhao Xilai finally couldn't stand it any longer. As long as I agree to the implementation of the Awakening Act, I can take advantage of the opportunity to win the seat in Dadu."

She mustered up the courage to speak seriously to her father.

"But... I don't want to agree."
