beloved does not come back

"I know, you are here for Liu Xiaopan," Wu Dongde sighed, "I did it myself, and I admit it."

He hunched his back and faced the ground, when a gust of night wind blew up his thinning hair, making him look a bit desolate.

Jiang Tianxiao thought, Wu Dongde is over 50 years old, if my dad is still alive, then he is older than my dad.Wu Dongde's son should be about the same age as Liu Xiaopan and Qiu Guowei.

Five young men the same age as his son—three of whom were completely innocent—how could he do anything?

Han Tao limped forward, and Jiang Tianxiao saw his hands clenched into fists, trembling violently on both sides of his body.

"Are you a human?" Han Tao walked up to Wu Dongde step by step, his voice almost murderous: "Are you a human? If you smash your son into a meat paste with a prefabricated board, would you like to see it?! "

Wu Dongde retreated again and again, bumping into the electric pole with a "boom", he shrugged his shoulders and did not look at Han Tao: "I am willing to pay for my life...my son doesn't know anything...don't blame my son..."

Han Tao grabbed Wu Dongde by the collar and punched it!

Hearing a muffled groan, Wu Dongde was overturned to the ground, like a dying fish, struggling slightly on the ground, but unable to get up.

"Do you believe that I killed your son?!" Han Tao didn't care about the injury on his leg. He rushed forward, grabbed Wu Dongde's neck with one hand, and punched him with the other: "I not only killed Your son! You still have to chop him into a pulp! I'll let you taste what it's like!"

Wu Dongde's legs twitched, but Han Tao firmly suppressed him, and the "bang" and "bang" sounds of fists hitting the flesh sounded one after another.

Wu Dongde groaned in pain, a turbid roar came from his chest.

He Sheng stepped forward to hug Han Tao and dragged him up from the ground: "Han Tao! Calm down!"

Even though the night was dark, Jiang Tianxiao could still clearly see the tears on Han Tao's face. He stared intently, his cheeks trembling, and tears came out of his eye sockets one by one.

After enduring so many days and going through so many twists and turns, he was already on the verge of collapse.

"Let's send him to the police station, he won't live long." He Sheng whispered to Han Tao.

Han Tao still stared at Wu Dongde intently, instead of jumping up, he nodded slightly.

At this time, Wu Dongde barely sat up from the ground, his face was covered in blood from Han Tao's beating, and he was panting heavily.

"I... I beg you one thing... I know I can't get away with the death penalty..." Wu Dongde said tremblingly.

He Sheng: "What?"

"Guo Wei said he wanted to buy a pendant as a gift for his girlfriend. We were fellow villagers, and he was hurt like this by me...I bought a pendant...You guys help me give it to Guo Wei..."

He Sheng was silent for a few seconds and said, "Yes."

"I thank you..." Wu Dongde touched his trouser pocket.

Jiang Tianxiao even took out the rope that was going to be used to tie Wu Dongde from his backpack, but in the blink of an eye, a silver light flashed in front of his eyes!

Han Tao, who was beside him, rushed forward again at an even faster speed!

He Sheng yelled: "Damn it!"

What Wu Dongde took out was not a pendant, but a dagger!His frail appearance just now was all faked!

Wu Dongde's dagger stabbing at He Sheng was barely blocked by Han Tao, and it was deeply buried in Han Tao's right shoulder.

Yu Lang chopped the back of Wu Dongde's neck with one hand, and he fell to the ground in response.

Yu Lang: "He Shengjiang Tianxiao sent Han Tao to the hospital! I'll stay here and call the police!"

Blood was gushing from Han Tao's right shoulder.

This was a night of chaos that no one expected.

Han Tao's operation lasted nearly four hours. Fortunately, the dagger was a little bit off, and the artery was not injured.Jiang Tianxiao and He Sheng first waited outside the operating room, and then guarded outside the ICU. The two were exhausted.

Over there, although Yu Lang sent Wu Dongde to the police station, the matter was of great importance. He was asked to take notes in the police station, and he was tossed all night over and over again.

Soon He Sheng was also called to question and take notes, and Jiang Tianxiao was alone in the hospital, so tired that he almost fell asleep sitting up.

But he can't sleep, he doesn't know what method Yu Lang and He Sheng used to get him out of this matter, he was not summoned - so he has to guard Han Tao, Han Tao is an important witness, can't Made a half mistake.

He can't drop the chain.

Four days later, Han Tao was able to barely talk and began to be questioned by the police.

A week later, Yu Lang and He Sheng walked into the ward.

At that time, Jiang Tianxiao was sleeping on the table with his arms under his pillow. During the time in the hospital, he couldn't stand it all by himself.

Sleeping too hard, saliva hangs on the corner of the mouth.

"Jiang Tianxiao." He was awakened by a low and gentle voice.

Jiang Tianxiao opened his eyes, and Yu Lang's face was close at hand.

"Teacher Yu!" Jiang Tianxiao was stunned: "Am I dreaming?"

"You're exhausted," Yu Lang stretched out his hand and rubbed his index finger on Jiang Tianxiao's protruding cheekbones due to weight loss: "We're back."

Jiang Tianxiao blinked, finally woke up, and quickly wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.

"Let's eat," Yu Lang put the lunch box in his hand on the table: "Eat it while it's hot."

Jiang Tianxiao nodded, but his gaze was still on Lang's face.

Yu Lang has lost weight visibly to the naked eye, and his original tall and straight figure now has a somewhat fractal feeling.He was wearing the same spotless white shirt as usual, but the shoulder bones protruded sharply from under the shirt.

But he was very energetic, and he still carried the aura of ease.

Yu Lang asked: "What's wrong?"

"No..." Jiang Tianxiao tried his best to suppress his heartbeat: "How's the matter?"

"It's not our business anymore, the rest is to go through the process," Yu Lang paused, and said, "Wu Dongde confessed very simply."

Jiang Tianxiao hurriedly asked: "So is Shen Yuanmen also going to be arrested?"

"Wu Dongde dare not recruit Shen Yuanmen," He Sheng walked over, "Besides, no one would believe that this kind of organization recruited."

"What?!" Jiang Tianxiao was full of astonishment: "Then let Shen Yuanmen hide like this? They are clearly conspiring..."

"Jiang Tianxiao," Yu Lang patted him on the shoulder as if to appease him: "The Shenyuanmen are stronger than you can imagine, they have done too many evils, and you want to bring them down with just this one thing, right? Possibly—take your time."

"But..." Jiang Tianxiao frowned: "Their evil deeds, that's all, don't they count?"

"They will pay the price," Yu Lang put his hands on Jiang Tianxiao's shoulders: "You have to believe... at least, believe me."

Jiang Tianxiao looked at Yu Lang's black and white eyes, and let out a soft breath.The pressure on my heart seemed to be a little lighter.

He was sad, angry, helpless, and disappointed—but at least Yu Lang was by his side.

"Okay, let's eat."

"Ah."

Open the outermost paper box, and inside is a cheese bowl served in tin foil.The rich aroma of milk rushed into his nostrils, Jiang Tianxiao swallowed silently, and with a spoonful, the dense cheese pulled out strands.Well, there are diced pineapple, sweet, diced beef, a little spicy, and beaten eggs.

Jiang Tianxiao thought of the meals in the Mingliang Restaurant in high school, and wondered when Yu Lang would be able to make them for him again.

"Why are you so thin?" Yu Lang crossed his arms and looked up and down Jiang Tianxiao: "I'll make up for you when I go back to Wuhan after this."

Jiang Tianxiao's cheeks were hot, and he asked boldly, "Mr. Yu, can you... cook some dishes from the Liangming Restaurant?"

Yu Lang stared straight at Jiang Tianxiao with his dark eyes, without saying a word.

"Uh," Jiang Tianxiao suddenly became nervous: "I just said that, I know you are busy... I just said it casually..."

"Okay," Yu Lang said softly, and then smiled: "Just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll make it for you."

Half a month later, Han Tao could barely walk around. He Sheng asked him to stay in the hospital for a while, but he refused.

"I want to go back to Henan," Han Tao said calmly, "Xiaopan's family, my family, all need to be taken care of. I won't stay in Wuhan anymore, I should go back."

Seeing that he insisted on this, He Sheng didn't say anything more, and bought the train ticket.

The day before leaving, a group of four went to the suburbs, an unfinished high-rise.

Yu Lang found the place. He said that Liu Xiaopan's Sha can be released, but Sha is still Sha and cannot stay for long. Here, Han Tao can see Liu Xiaopan for the last time.

Jiang Tianxiao was very excited: "Han Tao can tell Liu Xiaopan everything he wants to say..."

"No," Yu Lang shook his head: "Although that Sha has mind, its mind is definitely not comparable to that of a human... I don't know how far that Sha has recovered, let's see."

Like the last time in the hotel, Yu Lang sprinkled cinnabar in a circle, put the folded talisman paper in, and lit it with the flame of a candle.

He took out his jade pendant and put it in the cinnabar circle.

Yu Lang, He Sheng, and Jiang Tianxiao backed away, and a small piece of sky above their heads suddenly darkened.

Just like last time, a black shadow slowly floated out from the jade pendant.

Jiang Tianxiao's eyes widened in an instant.

The difference from last time is that Sha this time is not a blurred shadow, but a person.

Liu Xiaopan.

He was a slightly thin young man, half a head shorter than Han Tao, with long hair covering his ears.

He was wearing a loose green sportswear with a schoolbag on his shoulders.

"Han Tao," Liu Xiaopan said, his voice slightly astringent: "I didn't do it on purpose, I fell asleep while writing it last night... I will really write it myself next time, and I will definitely not copy yours, okay? ?”

Han Tao fixedly looked at Liu Xiaopan.

"Han Tao?" Liu Xiaopan bit his lower lip: "Hey, don't be angry, I've admitted my mistake!"

Han Tao opened his arms suddenly - but it was empty.

Liu Xiaopan has no entity.

"What are you doing?" Liu Xiaopan smiled, "Aren't you angry?"

Han Tao was stunned for a few seconds and said, "I'm not angry."

"That's good," Liu Xiaopan let out a long breath: "Come to my house for dinner tomorrow. It's my grandpa's birthday. My mother makes dumplings with mutton stuffing. Only once a year!"

"Okay," Han Tao had a knife wound on his shoulder and a plaster cast on his leg. His whole body was weak as if it would be blown away by the wind, but his tone was gentle and firm: "Tomorrow, I will go to your house to eat dumplings...Xiao Pan, I ask your business."

"Ah?" Liu Xiaopan pulled the hair on his forehead: "What?"

A smile appeared on Han Tao's face: "You like me, don't you?"

"I..." Liu Xiaopan took a step back, stuttering: "What are you talking about? I—I'm not your brother, of course I like you, why don't you be your brother?"

Han Tao was silent for two seconds, then nodded: "Well, I like you too."

Liu Xiaopan's eyes drifted wildly: "Mmmmmm."

"Xiao Pan," Han Tao said softly, "Look at me, let me look at you."

Liu Xiaopan looked up at Han Tao: "You, what are you doing today?"

Han Tao still smiled, didn't speak, and stared at Liu Xiaopan obsessively.

Time passed by, and most of the talisman paper in the cinnabar circle was reduced to ashes.

Liu Xiaopan's body became more and more transparent.

The scene seemed to freeze, 17-year-old Liu Xiaopan and 26-year-old Han Tao were facing each other, only seeing each other.At this moment, it seems that they have never experienced the long parting and entanglement, and they can see the future of the two sides at a glance.

The talisman was burned out.

Liu Xiaopan maintained his posture of staring at Han Tao, and gradually dissipated in the wind.

This time, Eisha did not return to Yu Lang's jade pendant.

"It's over," Yu Lang said softly, "The living will return to the living, and the dead will return to the dead."

Han Tao fell to his knees and cried bitterly.
