crossing the dangerous bridge

The lights in the yard have never been turned on, and it no longer needs to wait for the owner to come home.

The Lin family's villa was once again full of people. Lin Jianxi died unexpectedly. Friends who heard the news rushed back from all corners of the country to see this good friend off.

From time to time, soft and suppressed cries sounded in the garden. His popularity was so good that no one could accept his sudden departure.

Xiong Cui and Xiong Can also rushed back. As soon as they entered the door, Xiong Can pulled Jiang Yu up with red eyes, and punched him hard: "Didn't you say that you would take good care of your brother?! Will there be a car accident?!"

Hearing the news conveyed by their parents, the two of them thought it was a joke, but after repeated confirmation, the two brothers asked for leave and returned home immediately without hesitation.

The brother who grew up together was gone, and the two of them had no sense of reality at all. They boarded the plane in a trance, speechless all the way, until they stepped into Lin's house and saw the white cloth hanging on the door, they really felt, Lin Lin is really gone.

The older brother they grew up with who always took care of them is gone.

Xiong Can's eyes were blurred, and as soon as he blinked, tears flowed down his face as if a switch had been switched on, his hands were shaking so much that he could hardly hold anything, but he still held onto Jiang Yu's collar, without Let go: "Speak up! Didn't you say you would take good care of your brother? Is that how you take care of him?! Jiang Yu!"

"Stop beating," Xiong Cui patted Xiong Can's hand in a hoarse voice, "What's the use of beating him..."

Jiang Yu tilted his head. It took him a while to feel the pain. He hesitated and stretched out his hand to touch the bleeding corner of his mouth.

"...Let's fight." He lowered his eyes, and his voice was as soft as dead wood about to break: "It's all my fault."

If it weren't for him, my brother wouldn't have gone to Lover's Bridge, wouldn't have had an accident, and wouldn't have left.

It's all his fault.

If he is not greedy, delusional, or crazy, his brother will still live well.

He is the culprit of all mistakes.

Xiong Can let go of his hand with tears streaming down his face: "...I'll go...I'll go see him."

Jiang Yu's mental state was chaotic, he couldn't listen to anyone's words, he couldn't see clearly, and he didn't even know how he spent his day.

Naturally, Gu Xing also came. She didn't say a word to Jiang Yu, but bowed to the black square box from afar.

She didn't know how these two people got to this point, and she didn't want to tell Jiang Yu what Lin Jianxi had said to her.

The most tormenting thing is not getting it. Jiang Yu is so crazy, why should he let him know that Lin Jianxi once reached out to him.

Condolencers left intermittently, and the Lin family became empty again.

Wiping her tears, Aunt Wang came to ask Jiang Yu to resign: "They are all gone, and I can't stay any longer. I feel uncomfortable here...the things at home are all sorted out, Lin Lin... Lin Lin's clothes are also prepared Well, when it’s time for the burial, you can help him pick out a few pieces, as well as his favorite toys from childhood, and put them in together.”

More than ten years have passed, and Aunt Wang is also getting old and has reached the age of retirement. Jiang Yu looked at the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes in a daze, and after a long time, she responded, "...um."

As if he had forgotten how to walk, he awkwardly returned to Lin Jianxi's room.

The room has been cleaned, so clean and tidy that there is no trace of popularity, as if no one has ever lived here.

Jiang Yu slowly opened the closet, stroking each piece of clothing with his fingers, and remembering how his brother looked wearing them, he suddenly didn't know which one to choose.

How to choose this?How should I choose?No one taught him, he can't.

He sat on the ground blankly, and turned out the storage box placed under the closet.

The box contained odds and ends, an eraser from elementary school, with a Pikachu drawn on it, the pen and admission ticket that Lin Jianxi used for the high school entrance examination, and a small hat made of willow branches... Jiang Yuyi When he took it out, his fingers touched the small box hidden inside, and he trembled uncontrollably.

He doesn't need to look, he knows what's in the box.

There are a few ducklings in the box. The ducklings I played with when I was a child have hardened and turned black after so long, and I can't play with them anymore.

My brother will never grow up again.

In the quiet and empty room, there was suddenly a slight sound of tears dripping on the carton.

During the burial, Grandpa stretched out his skinny hand and touched the box covered with red cloth.

"Good boy..." Grandpa touched the box over and over again with tears in his eyes, "Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda... We did not go in vain, and there will be good rewards in the next life..."

Jiang Yu watched silently as the box was buried in the soil, only to feel that he was also buried in the box.

When the tombstone with the name engraved on it was erected, the rescued little girl knelt down with her mother and kowtowed in front of the monument.

"Thank you brother for saving me," the little girl sobbed, "My brother is a great hero."

Jiang Yu rolled his eyes numbly. After a long time, he lowered his head and lightly touched the cold tombstone.

Mr. Lin passed away, and the company had no leader. The employees suppressed their panic and waited for Jiang Yu to return to the company to take power.

Jiang Yu didn't want to care about it. All his efforts were just to make his brother better. Now that his brother is gone, he didn't even want to take a step forward in the company, let alone the company's life and death.

But no matter what, the old people of the Lin family and the Zhao family still need support. Jiang Yu endured the annoyance, sorted out the company's accounts, resold the projects that could be transferred, and split up the huge company bit by bit, selling them in exchange for a lot of money , Divided into the hands of the two old people.

He seems to be arranging the funeral, dealing with each matter in an orderly and exhausted manner.Move the old man back to the city, and find new, loyal and reliable people to take care of the old man. The future wages will be handed over to Xiong Cui, and Xiong Cui can come forward to negotiate with them, so as not to change people's hearts over time in the future. The elderly bully the elderly when they have no children.

Grandpa felt that there was something wrong with his series of movements, held his arm nervously, and asked tremblingly: "Xiao Yu, what are you doing all this for? Are you leaving home too?"

Jiang Yu forced a smile and shook his head: "Grandpa, I just want to go out and relax. If I don't make arrangements for you, I don't feel relieved to go out."

"Go out to relax? It's okay..." Grandpa patted his head and said, "Grandpa knows that you feel uncomfortable, so it's okay to go out to relax."

After finishing the work, Jiang Yu returned to his and his brother's home.

This property is his only remaining asset, and now he has nothing but this house.

The phone rang, more times than it had in all the time combined.

Jiang Yu didn't answer it and let it ring.

A minute later, he picked up the phone and listened to the pleading voice of the woman on the other end of the phone with a blank face.

"No matter how much compensation you want, we will agree. I just ask you to show your hand and let my son go. He is still young, and if he spends a few years in prison, his life will be ruined." The woman's voice choked up: "I beg you, He didn't mean it, and he knew he was wrong."

Jiang Yu looked out the window, the sky was getting darker, and night was coming again.

After a long time, he said calmly: "You let him come to my place, I will talk to him, and only let him come alone, otherwise I won't see you."

The woman hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, thank you, you are really a good person."

Jiang Yu sent an address to him and waited for someone to come to his door.

The man who bumped into Lin Jianxi was a man with some money and background in his family. According to him, he was drunk and didn't pay attention. He stepped on the brake instead of the accelerator.

His family hired a lawyer to wrangle with the police station. He went to the police station countless times a day, and it took a lot of hard work to get his son out on bail pending trial.

Originally, a car accident, the most common accident in the world, did not cause serious consequences. It just killed one person. In a situation like this, as long as the two parties negotiate compensation in private, they can completely avoid prison. Therefore, The other party has been trying to contact Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu had no time to talk before, but now he has time.

While waiting for someone to come to the door, he took out a small lucky bag from the coat pocket on his chest, and there were a few strands of Lin Jianxi's hair in the bag.

He lowered his eyes and kissed the lucky bag.

Brother, he said vaguely, I miss you so much.

As he expected, there was no reply.

How did they get to where they are now?Jiang Yu looked back, only to feel that every step he took was wrong.

Maybe one person can't put all their feelings on another person, just like a balance, if you want to maintain a balance, you can't put all the weights on one end.

And he put all his weight on Lin Jianxi's side. Over time, the balance became more and more tilted, and the beast brewed with unwillingness finally swallowed that person.

There was a knock on the door in the air. Jiang Yu put away the lucky bag and got up to open the door.

There was a man standing outside the door. When the man saw him, he panicked for a moment, and then quickly put on a cautious and fawning expression, "Hello, I am..."

Jiang Yu interrupted his self-introduction: "Come with me."

The man frightenedly followed behind him, his eyes wandering around, and he quickly saw the furnishings in the house clearly.

The house is surprisingly tidy, and I always feel a little uncomfortable looking at it.There is a box on the coffee table, I don't know what it is.

"That, my name is..."

He tried to introduce himself again, Jiang Yu asked coldly: "Have you heard of my brother's name before?"

"I've heard of it," the man quickly replied, "I've heard it a long time ago. He is a very powerful person. I wanted to get to know him before, but unfortunately I didn't have time. I'm really sorry. I was really drunk that day. I didn't mean it. I didn't think so either."

Jiang Yu laughed, "My brother is a good man."

"Yes, yes, your brother is really a good person, otherwise he would not have saved others." The man racked his brains to say something nice, but unfortunately he is not good at academics, and the Chinese knowledge he learned in school has long been soaked in his wine glass After drinking it, he said dryly: "Your brother is worthy of my study. When I change my mind and start a new life, I will definitely visit him more often."

Jiang Yu raised his eyes, neither light nor heavy.

The man didn't know why, and he became more and more flustered, and what he said was confused. To be honest, he really felt that it was not his fault. He was trying to save someone, and he bumped into him.

He pinched himself fiercely and squeezed out some tears: "I'm sorry, you let me go this time, and I promise to be a good person in the future. I'm really sorry, I really didn't mean it."

Jiang Yu stretched out his hand and touched the box in front of him: "This box contains some ashes of my brother. My brother is a good man, and I don't want to embarrass you. If you kowtow to my brother, I will let you go and treat you as a Accumulate blessings to my brother."

"Thank you, thank you," the man heaved a sigh of relief, knelt down quickly, and kowtowed to the box a few times, "You are really good people, good people have good rewards, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, just tell me, If I am a cow or a horse, I will pay back."

Jiang Yu said softly, "Okay, let's go."

The man couldn't believe it was so easy, he stood up relieved, he didn't even control his expression, showing a look of joy, but he was quickly suppressed by him, he couldn't wait to go out, thinking proudly in his heart, wait When this shit is over, he must go to the bar and have a drink to get rid of the bad luck.

He walked to the door in a few steps, but before he touched the doorknob, Jiang Yu quickly followed, raised his arm, and strangled his neck severely from behind him.

The man fell backwards involuntarily, staring at the ceiling with his eyes wide open. The next second, he came to his senses and struggled violently, trying to break Jiang Yu's arm with his hands: "Cough...cough cough..."

"Do you think I'll really let you go?" Jiang Yu laughed nervously, and his low voice sounded like a curse: "You're dreaming."

The man was trembling with fear. The lack of oxygen and extreme fear made him struggle harder, but the more he struggled, the less oxygen he had, and his neck was strangled too tightly. He even heard the sound of bones loosening: "Help...help..."

With all his strength, he dug his fingers on the back of Jiang Yu's hand, scratching the flesh hard, and the blood flowed down and dripped onto his face, it was hot.

Let him fear.

If he can't break free again, he will definitely die, and he doesn't want to die yet.

"Let go... lunatic... let go..."

The man even scratched the bone, Jiang Yu's face didn't change, he didn't even blink his eyelids, as if he couldn't feel the slightest pain.

The man's hand gradually dropped down, his eyes opened blankly.

Only then did Jiang Yu let go of his hand.

He looked at the scratched hands and frowned in distress. His hands were dirty, and he couldn't hold the lucky bag anymore.

He returned to his original position and opened the box.

There was a gun in the box, and this gun was the last gift he wanted to give to Lin Jianxi. When he bought this gun, he thought, if his brother never loved him, he would give it to his brother and let him do it. Determine his mistakes.

It's just that he didn't expect that before his gift was delivered, Lin Jianxi would abandon him first.

He abandoned him in such a decisive way.

"Brother, I..." Jiang Yu opened his mouth, smiled at himself, and shook his head.

He wanted to say, brother, I hurt.

But my brother probably won't come to coax him again.

You're a hero until your death, and I, I...

With trembling hands, Jiang Yu wiped away the non-existing dust on the gun, reloaded, loaded——

"boom--"

it's dark.

The sky is bright again.
