Indissoluble bond

The sun was high, the trees were lush, and the window lattice was sparse. Outside the window stood a handsome young man, circling in circles, scratching his ears and cheeks.

He murmured: "Why haven't you come yet? It's been almost half an hour..." He managed to convince that person, using the essence of his wisdom over the past ten years, that person agreed to tell him about Chen Yimian.

He paced anxiously, raising his eyes to look ahead from time to time.

He invited the man to the old house because it was remote and there were no people there.And it's not in the old house, it's outside a courtyard wall, which is the outside of his room by the window.He has observed that grandpa is usually not at home at this time, and if he comes back temporarily, he can also climb in through the unlocked window.

The window opened on both sides, wide enough for him to climb in.

After waiting restlessly for a long time, the man was long overdue.However, Zhou Yuan finally let go of his agitation. He let out a foul breath, and hurriedly greeted him: "You're finally here."

The man smiled sheepishly: "This... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry."

Zhou Yuan has no way to talk about him, after all, the one who can tell him the truth, except him, no one else who knows is willing to tell, so he is the only one.

The man's name was Zheng Wang, and he used to live next door to the Chen family, so he knew more about their family affairs. Later, something happened to the Chen family, and the whole family broke up, and his family also moved away for some reasons.And after hiding it for so long, what happened back then will be revealed again.

"Oh~ It's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that I promised Chen Yimian once, but I see that you are so sincere, and it's a good thing for the two families to reconcile, or for the Shen family and his son to reconcile."

Zheng Wang first said this exclamation, then wiped his head, with a helpless and innocent expression, trying his best to show that he was really not unwilling to say it.

Zhou Yuan didn't care about these, and immediately said: "It's okay, I understand, Brother Zheng is kind and righteous, he is a good person, I will never reveal this matter."

Only then did Zheng Wang nod his head, and began to recount the events of the year: "This... many years ago..."

Zhou Yuan really wanted to ask...how many years ago?This beginning is like those fairy tales.

Back then, Shen Qingnian and Chen Yimian were both 17-year-old youths.The two are good friends who talk about everything. They often eat and live together, go in and out together, and no one in Shen Village knows about it.

At first, no one noticed anything wrong.

Except for one person, Chen Yimian's own younger brother, Chen Yifei, he was only 11 years old at that time, both of them did not shy away from him.In the beginning, there was nothing strange about them.

But I don't know when, their relationship gradually changed, and then they held hands, hugged and kissed, all of which were noticed by Chen Yifei.

He didn't know what was going on, and he didn't understand it, so once, he made a slip of the tongue in front of the Chen family's parents, that is, Chen's mother.But Mother Chen didn't believe it at first.

Until one time, when the two were kissing, they were caught by Shen You, which can be regarded as piercing the sky.Shen You never thought that his son would fall in love with a boy, and he was furious immediately.After scolding them, they drove Chen Yimian out of Shen's house, ordered him not to come again, and warned Shen Qingnian not to associate with him.

Shen Qing didn't listen, so he beat him up until he couldn't get out of bed for half a month, almost killed half of his life.

Chen Yimian was restless day and night when he heard about this, so he went to visit Shen Qingnian secretly one day.Just this time, Shen You happened to bump into him.

This is terrible, Chen Yimian dared to come.

Shen You glared immediately, and pulled Chen Yimian back to Chen's house, and went into Chen's house to find Chen's mother.

He tightly grasped Chen Yimian's wrist, and as soon as he entered the Chen family's yard, he shouted: "Sister Chen! Sister Chen! Come out!"

Seeing this, Chen Yimian froze, with a pleading expression on his face: "Uncle Shen, I beg you not to tell my mother about this."

Shen You snorted through his nose, and said coldly: "It's late! I warned you a long time ago, don't come to Qing Nian, if you don't listen, don't blame me for being rude!"

Chen Yimian's face turned pale suddenly, and his face was full of sorrow: "Uncle Shen, I beg you, my mother knows, she will definitely not be able to accept it, I will definitely not go to see Ah Nian in the future, I beg you...please... don't say..."

"How do I know if you're lying to me? You're just saying that your mother can't accept it. Why did you go so early? You're still called Ah Nian!" Shen You's chest heaved, and his anger surged inside.

The Chen family's yard is not big, and there is a small vegetable field inside. Outside the vegetable field, there are many chickens and ducks scattered around.At this time, those chickens and ducks had already hid far away, as if they felt a bad atmosphere.

And Mother Chen finally came out after Shen You yelled again.

"Brother Shen, why are you here?" Chen's mother is a simple rural person, her clothes are all old and patched, but they are relatively clean.And her hands were rough and full of cracks.

Her face has dark yellow skin and severely chapped lips, but from her delicate facial features, it can be seen that she was once a rare beauty.

She rubbed her hands at the corners of her clothes, and looked at Shen You helplessly.

Shen You's expression softened a little, but he still didn't forget his purpose of coming, and immediately pushed Chen Yimian in front of her: "Look at your good son!"

Chen Yimian's eyes were terrified.

Shen You kicked him in the hollow of the leg, and Chen Yimian fell to his knees with a 'plop'.

Chen's mother felt distressed and didn't understand why, so she looked at Shen You in a daze: "What's wrong? What did Xiao Mian do? Brother Shen, tell him, I will definitely teach him a lesson."

Chen Yimian's lips trembled, his pupils shrank slightly, and he couldn't stop murmuring: "Don't say, don't say...don't say..."

Shen You didn't hear or see his behavior, so he clattered about Shen Qingnian and Chen Yimian's affairs immediately.

Chen Yimian lowered his head and shrunk his neck.

Chen's mother felt a thunderbolt in her ears, and a burst of light flashed in front of her eyes. She was dizzy for a while, and when she rolled her eyes, she was about to faint on the ground. Shen You strode up to support her.

Chen Yimian also raised her head suddenly, and just wanted to get up, but was startled by Shen You's cold gaze, and froze in place.

Shen You frowned, helped Chen's mother into the back chair in the room and sat down, then let go of her hand: "Chen's sister."

Chen's mother had already passed out completely, and she didn't respond for a long time.Shen You shook his head, sighed helplessly, and walked out of the house slowly.

But Chen Yimian was still kneeling in the yard, motionless.

Shen You waved his hands and put them behind his back, without looking at him, he just walked out.

"If you come to Qing Nian again, the consequences will not be as simple as it is now, Shen, that's all for now."

Chen Yimian acted as if he didn't hear anything, he still knelt on the spot blankly, his back was stiff.However, his eyes moved slightly, and he opened his mouth slightly, but he didn't say anything.

The reason why Shen You would speak out about his son's scandal so directly is because he is not afraid of rumors, and the most important thing is to solve this matter. What others say, a masculine man will be defeated by these things, so Shen You doesn't bother to have such a son .

Returning to Shen's house was not peaceful either.Regardless of the injuries on her body, Shen Qingnian ran out of bed when she saw Shen You coming back: "Father, what did you do to Yi Mian?"

Shen You said with a cold face: "Do you still see me as a father? What can I do to him?"

Shen Qingnian's eyes lit up: "Didn't do anything? That's good."

Shen You sneered: "It's a joke, I just told the sister of Chen's family all the good things you did."

Shen Qingnian's eyes widened suddenly.

"Father! What did you say?!"

"What? Don't let people talk about what you did?" Shen You raised his eyebrows.

Shen Qingnian strode up to him, put her hands on Shen You's shoulders: "Father, how could you do this? Yimian, Yimian's mother... how can you tell her about this..."

Shen You felt that there was something wrong in his words: "What's wrong with his mother?"

Shen Qingnian closed her eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "His mother...is terminally ill, only...only one year to live."

And at this time, they are about to take the college entrance examination.Chen Yimian was just waiting for a good grade in the exam so that his mother could leave with peace of mind, but now...

Shen You was deeply surprised.

"This... this... is not a good thing!"

But the words have been spoken, and things cannot be changed.Shen You sighed: "It's my fault, you don't say anything, forget it, I will have a good talk with her tomorrow."

Shen Qingnian looked at him gratefully: "Thank you, Dad, I...I promise you that I will not...be with Yimian in the future." He spoke the latter sentence very slowly, without saying a word, let him His breathing became heavier and his heart ached even more.

Shen You didn't speak, he was thinking about Chen's mother's reaction just now, and he felt a little worried.I hope it's all right, now that he's going...it won't help, it's better to let her take it easy and go tomorrow.

But when he went again the next day, he only got the news that Chen's mother threw herself into the river.

Chen Yimian was expressionless, as if he had suddenly changed into a different person.

"Uncle Shen," he said calmly, "are you satisfied?"

Shen You stared: "What did you say?"

Chen Yimian's eyes were dark, and he didn't answer his question, but he was surrounded by gloom, which stunned those who saw him.He has always been a gentle and considerate person, always smiling like Mu Chunfeng, but now he has no expression at all, and even became very gloomy.

But most people think that he became like this because he lost his mother.

Even Shen You thinks so.So even though he didn't like his attitude in his heart, he still said patiently, "Sorry, I didn't expect this to happen."

Chen Yimian twitched the corners of her mouth and sneered: "Oh." Her tone was light, but her expression was not.

Shen You really couldn't bear to see his eccentric look, but he didn't think much about it, so he said a few more words, and left in a hurry.

A few days later, Chen Yimian left Shencun early in the morning.I brought my account book and 100 yuan with me, and nothing else.

Speaking of this, Zheng Wang stopped, shook his head again and again, and sighed.

Zhou Yuan was concerned about one thing: "What happened that night?"

Zheng Wang was silent for a while, his eyes were far away, lost in memory.

"That night, Chen Yimian had a big fight with his mother..."

Mother Chen fainted until night before she woke up faintly.At this time, Chen Yifei had already returned home, Chen Yimian made dinner for him, and then sent him back to his room to do homework, while she stayed by Chen's mother's side to take care of her.

As soon as Chen's mother opened her eyes, she saw Chen Yimian who was standing by her side, she was startled for a while, and she couldn't recover.But soon, she remembered what happened in the afternoon.

She stood up abruptly, and dragged Chen Yimian to the ancestral hall in the small compartment of the main room.There is a wall on one side of the main room, and behind that wall is a table, on which are placed the tablets of the ancestors of the Chen family, Chen's mother-in-law, and husband. There are also incense candles and offerings in front of the tablets, which continue every day.

"You, kneel down!"

She pointed aggressively at Chen Yimian, and then at the ground in front of the table.

Chen Yimian knelt down without hesitation.

Chen's mother patted her chest heartbroken: "Tell me about these ancestral tablets, what have you done? Are you worthy of these ancestors of the Chen family? Although I am a countryman, I don't understand the principles, but I also know that the harmony of yin and yang is the most important thing." Righteousness, you have done such a thing, you will make me ashamed to face my husband and in-laws after I die!"

A few tears fell from the corners of Chen Yimian's eyes: "No, it's all my fault, mother...it's none of your business, it's all me...it's my fault."

"Then why are you still doing this?"

Chen Yimian burst into tears: "I...I can't help it, I just like him, I really can't help it, I don't know how it happened..."

"You still say!" Mother Chen yelled, "I think you will never repent!"

Chen Yimian couldn't help covering his face with his hands, tears meandered down from between his fingers, weeping silently without saying a word.

When Chen's mother saw this, she didn't understand something, and reprimanded him loudly.Later, because of the fierce words, Chen Yimian couldn't help but refute.

Then the two started arguing, even disturbing Chen Yifei who was doing homework.Chen Yifei didn't dare to go over, only dared to watch from a distance.

Then, after an unknown amount of time, the Chen family suddenly became quiet.Chen Yifei was persuaded to go to bed by Chen's mother and Chen Yimian, but the two chatted in another room. This time, they didn't make any more noise...

"But..." Zheng Wang sighed again, "Not long after, when I got up at night, I saw Chen Yimian dragging Aunt Chen's body out... I was scared and curious, so I followed, and then, I saw He threw Aunt Chen's body into the river, but at that time, Aunt Chen was still alive, and not long after being thrown into the river, she struggled..."

Zhou Yuan was attracted by his words, this story is really wonderful, but it's not over yet...

"Chen Yimian saw it too, but he didn't go down to save her. Just watching Aunt Chen drowned in the river, I... I was stunned for a moment, and then he found out by accident, and he threatened me... Don't let me speak out."

Zheng Wang wiped his face and continued: "He seemed to be a different person, he became very scary. A few days later, when I got up early in the morning to make breakfast, I saw him leave the Chen family, and then disappeared. Yes, I have never dared to say this, but after so long, I think you are also kind, so I decided to tell you the truth."

Zhou Yuan deeply felt that this Chen Yimian was not that simple, no one knew where he went now.And: "Then before he threw his mother into the river, did he do something? Otherwise, why do you say it's a corpse..."

Could it be that he wanted to kill his mother?Why?

His mind was full of doubts, and this thought even made him break out in a cold sweat.

Zheng Wang shook his head: "I don't know about that. I only heard them quarreling. I don't know what they talked about and what they did afterwards."

Zhou Yuan nodded, while thinking: "...Thank you for telling me this."

Zheng Wang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hey, what is this, no need, I don't know any more, I'll stop here, you still have to find other clues or the truth yourself."

Zhou Yuan raised his smiling face with a sunny face: "Anyway, Brother Zheng, you have contributed a lot to this matter, so I still have to thank you very much. In this way, someday I will treat you to a meal and go to the best Dining room."

"Okay," Zheng Wang smacked his lips and didn't refuse, "Then I'll go first."

Zhou Yuan nodded: "Okay, walk slowly, be careful on the road."

Zheng Wang turned his head and left, quickly out of his sight.

Zhou Yuan looked at his back with deep eyes, rubbed his chin, went through his words over and over again in his mind, and then smiled after confirming that there was nothing serious.

His words have a reliability of 70.00%.
