Eyes blurred by tears, like tarnished black pearls.He Chenlang stood there quietly, like a child who made a mistake and was waiting to be punished.

"Did he owe you anything?" Yu Wenhao's words made Aunt Wang at a loss for words, "Or did he hurt you?"

"No, no, but I'm scolding him for everyone. Is there anything wrong with that? People like him, no, people like you should be scolded!" Aunt Wang's words became more and more bitter, and her expression became more and more serious. indifferent.

He Chenlang's heart was stung again and he couldn't speak. The shadow from many years ago lingered like a nightmare.

"Everyone? I don't know who you mean by everyone, and you are not qualified to represent anyone, are you?" Yu Wenhao is still neither humble nor overbearing, and there is no trace of anger or sadness on his stern face, "If your What do you think if your daughter or son is also called gay and abused in broad daylight?"

Aunt Wang was slightly taken aback, as if she was moved, but soon resumed her mocking laughter, "I have taught my son and daughter very well, and I will not watch them go astray. Unlike Some people have mothers but no mothers, no wonder they would do such a shameless thing!"

Her words were like a stone mill, crushing his broken heart into powder!

"Shameless? I don't know if you are shameless here like a shrew cursing the street, or us? It's really hard to talk to a person like you who has no quality."

"You!" Aunt Wang stared and opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but the village head who happened to pass by angrily scolded her: "What are you doing?"

"I'm driving them away!" Aunt Wang was still confident.

"Send them away? I think you're crazy!" The village chief's tone seemed to be like iron, "Do you know that all the concrete roads in our village are funded by him! Even the cost of your son's college education is still funded by others." Yes... Our village is too remote, and it is a great blessing for our village to be able to get help from such a person. You actually want to drive him away! You are too old, and you don't understand why..."

Aunt Wang was ashamed by the village head, but when she looked in the direction of the two of them just now, she saw a closed door.

"Alas..." The village chief just shook his head, didn't say anything more, and just left helplessly.

Aunt Wang stared at that door for a long time, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Why does she want to scold them when she sees them?This seems to be driven less by instinct than by public opinion...

He Chenlang still had tears in his eyes, his obsidian-like pupils reflected the scene in front of him, slightly dim as if he was looking at an ink painting.

Yu Wenhao hugged him from behind, his affection remained gentle and unchanged, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

He walked into the small one-story house with heavy steps, and everything he was familiar with clearly appeared in front of his eyes, and tears burst out of his eyes again.But when he walked to his mother's door with difficulty, thinking of that hopeless and long thunderstorm night, there was a pain in his head.

"Chen'er, let's not watch it, let's go." Seeing his sad expression, he hugged him distressedly.

"It's all my fault! It's all my fault!" He broke free from his embrace and rushed out the door like crazy.

"Chen'er!" Facing his sudden and abnormal reaction, he felt remorse in his heart, and hurriedly chased after him.

The biting cold wind in winter and the overgrown withered and yellow grass occupied the entire tomb.A few jackdaws not far away let out bursts of mournful calls, like trumpets blowing at a funeral.

He knelt in front of his mother's grave, and the cold wind mingled with the cold air kept beating on his handsome face, blowing his originally soft and black hair into a mess.

Looking at his thin figure, it seemed as if a gust of wind was about to blow him away. Standing behind him, he felt distressed, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

"Mom... after so many years, I finally have the courage to come to see you." He kowtowed three times to the grave, and slowly choked up, "I'm sorry for you, I let you down again, but... You're gone, and Dad doesn't know where to go, and now I don't know who to turn to for help except him..."

The wind made his eyes very dry, and tears seemed to flow in, but the sadness and sorrow in his heart did not diminish at all...

He Chenlang looked back at the familiar bungalow, and finally decided to leave.

Eight years have passed, but his heart is still not feeling well.

But when the two reached the entrance of the village, they saw the village head leading almost the whole village waiting for them.

A sudden fear welled up in his heart, and he hid behind him in fear.

Could it be that after so many years, they still refused to let him go?

He squeezed his hand tightly, which made him feel a little relieved.

Aunt Wang who came over first, what made him unbelievable was that she changed from the domineering look she had just met today, with an apologetic look on her slightly old face, "Xiao Lang, I'm really sorry today, aunt is so old. I was only too confused to say such things to you... This is a little wish from aunt, I hope you can forgive aunt."

He Chenlang poked his head out cautiously, and saw that she was holding a small basket in her hand, and the basket was full of bamboo fungus in long skirts!

Even though there was only a small basket, he knew that it was hard to find this thing. Usually, if people in the village found it, they would be reluctant to eat it and would sell it.

Other people in the village also took out the special products of the village to give them.Those who had abused him also apologized to him, and also took out things that they were reluctant to eat or use, and wanted to give them to express their apology.

He Chenlang had an indescribable feeling in his heart, as if someone who had been framed for many years was finally cleared up.

Tears in the red eyes soaked those obsidian eyes again, and everything in front of him made him feel like he was dreaming.

Unexpectedly, one day, he would also receive an apology from those who had hurt him.

The two of them did not accept anything from the villagers in the end, but stayed in the village for one night at their insistence.

In an open space in the village, a hundred-family feast that hadn't been seen for a long time was held.He Chenlang knows that the hundred-family banquet in the village is actually a tradition, but it has always been held only on major festivals or when important people come.

The village that had been silent for a long time had a rare lively scene, and almost every household came out.The housewives were also not stingy with their cooking skills, and they all took out their special dishes.

A group of children gathered around and asked him various questions curiously, and He Chenlang also shared with them the photos he took while traveling abroad.

"Wow—" the children were all surprised.

"I didn't expect there to be such a beautiful place outside."

"Yes, yes, I will go abroad in the future."

"I'm going to take my parents with me."

The children discussed excitedly.Looking at the scene in front of him made him seem to return to his childhood.

"Then you have to study hard." He said to the children with a smile.

"By the way, the children's school..." He suddenly remembered something, turned his head and said to the man beside him.

"It's already been built." Seeing He Chenlang surrounded by children while he was left out in the cold, a certain man felt a little bit dissatisfied.

"Thanks to Uncle Youyu, we have new teachers and new teachers."

"Yes, yes, uncle, you are a very good person."

"..."

Being praised by a group of brats, President Yuda has a calm expression on his face.

A certain subject seemed to see it from his face: I am proud, but I will not say it...

He Chenlang vaguely remembered that at that time the elementary school classrooms in the village were dilapidated tile-roofed houses, and most of the teachers who came here at that time could not stay any longer after staying for more than a month.

"You brat, don't you want to let you go to that unlucky place? Why are you still going..."

He suddenly noticed that Aunt Li not far away was teaching his grandson a lesson.He Chenlang stepped forward curiously and asked, "What's wrong?"

"This brat just doesn't listen to me, he always likes to play in that unlucky cave in the back mountain..." Aunt Li was angry and impatient, wishing she could slap her grandson on the ass.

"Cave?" He also remembered that there was indeed a cave in the back mountain. "I used to go to that place to play when I was young, but why is it said that it is bad luck?" He became more and more puzzled.

"There - someone died!" Aunt Li lowered her voice, as if she didn't want to talk about that matter.

"I haven't heard of it before."

"Because this happened after you left our village." Aunt Li saw that He Chenlang seemed very curious, so she told him what happened, "But this thing is also very strange to say, eight years ago Everything is fine, but who knew that Uncle Guo of our village found a female corpse in that cave when he went to cut firewood! And the corpse has already started to rot, hey, you don’t even know how scary it is, And the smell, I still feel like vomiting when I think about it..."

Aunt Li showed a very disgusted expression, as if the corpse was still in front of her eyes.

"And then?" he continued.

"Later? Of course I went to the police. But I recognized the dress she was wearing. Around the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, I always saw her holding a camera mysteriously, not knowing what she was shooting..."

He Chenlang's expression changed upon hearing this, and he asked eagerly, "What's that girl's name?"

"What is it called Li..." Aunt Li couldn't remember clearly, and after thinking for a long time, she suddenly said, "It seems to be called Li Muxi."

He was even more shocked, as if everything that had happened for many years gradually became clear, "Then... did she commit suicide or was she murdered?"

"When she died, her hands and feet were bound with ropes, and her mouth was gagged... She probably starved to death in that cave." As she spoke, she felt shuddering.

"Have you found out who the murderer is?" He asked hastily.

"The murderer? It's been such a long time, and the footprints have been filled by the rain. And there are no fingerprints of the murderer on her body at all. It is estimated that the murderer put on gloves and threw her into the hole directly from the outside." You know, the cave at the back of our mountain is hidden and few people go there..."

"The results of it?"

"After the police found her parents, they didn't even admit that they had this daughter! It's been too long and no valid evidence has been found. In the end, this matter was left alone..." Aunt Li said with an unsatisfactory expression on her face "However, because of this, outsiders think that there is a murderer in our village. It spreads widely, and as a result, fewer and fewer people come to our village... Are you angry?"
