only in this mountain

"You're right, but even if you go to the eighteenth floor of hell, you can't get Xiao Liu back, because Xiao Liu won't go there at all." A bird appeared outside the window at some point, with black and blue feathers, the top of the head and the side of the eyes It has yellow wattles, and a sharp orange beak that opens and closes to speak.

This was the first time Jiang He saw this bird, and he believed that his feeling was right, this bird was the one that Qin Xianyu raised in Zhang Huai's memory.Bird looked at people with a touch of sarcasm and contempt, and it wasn't surprised to find that Jiang He could understand its words. It was very likely that it was an "unusual" animal like Snowball.

"You think you're innocent, don't you? Then why don't you tell me how many times you've given Koyanagi the chance to 'leave' over the years?"

More and more crows began to gather in front of the window, and they hoarsely hooted one after another, revealing an incomparably weird sadness.

"Xiao Liu won't cling to you, but you and Qin Xianyu will live in her shadow for the rest of your life!"

At this moment, the closed window was suddenly opened by an invisible force. One second, the mynah was volleying and fluttering its wings so coolly, but the next moment it fell into the ward as if it was weightless.

"But that's all it takes." Huang Shirt's voice came from his ear, and the monster was right beside Jiang He, but he didn't show up.It's not that he sympathized with Zhang Liu's experience, but he heard that there seemed to be animals interfering in people's affairs, and he was curious about this animal, so he followed.Pets were not allowed in the hospital, and he was too lazy to hide in front of people, so he simply disappeared.

The mynah just fell to Zhang Huai's feet. Although it couldn't see the yellow shirt, it also felt that there was something more powerful than it around it. It flew up and wanted to escape. Zhang Huai grabbed its wings.

"Be careful it pecks at you!" Jiang He was taken aback, and grabbed Zhang Huai's arm to let him go.

Zhang Huai asked, "Brother Yu?"

Although the two brothers and sisters have their own characteristics, after all, the similarities between the same mother and siblings are also obvious. The bird struggled a few times at the beginning, and when Zhang Huai called its name, it started to be a little dazed.

Yu is Dazhi Ruoyu, which is also a homonym of Yu, and Zhang Liu chose the name. At first, Qin Xianyu was a little unhappy, and insisted on making Zhang Liu call him brother Yu twice before giving up.

Things are different now, and as a witness of the love between the two of them, Brother Yu felt an indescribable sadness at this moment.

"Brother Yu? Is it the bird raised by Xianyu?" Zhao Jia also showed an unbelievable expression, "How could it appear here?"

You may not believe it when you say it, but it is always by your side, making you mistakenly think that it is Zhang Liu's soul that is causing trouble.Jiang He only said this in his heart, but he didn't say it directly to Zhao Jia.

Maybe even Zhang Yunyuan doesn't believe that a bird can do this for a person.

No matter how much the monitoring equipment can record every bit of what happened, it is still a cold machine. Brother Yu and Zhang Liu have lived together for more than ten years, and he has true feelings for Zhang Liu.

Under Huangshan's intimidation, Brother Yu admitted that Qin Yiyang was "kidnapped" by it, and the purpose was very clear, which was to make Zhao Jia feel uncomfortable.It hates Zhao Jia, and repeatedly creates the illusion that Zhang Liu may have an affair in front of Qin Xianyu. Qin Xianyu doubts Zhang Liu day by day, and Zhang Liu gradually loses his affection and longing for him.

After learning the truth and losing her child again, Zhang Liu became even more disheartened. The complicated relationship between the three of them, her embarrassing identity, everything she was familiar with, including the person next to her pillow who pretended nothing had happened... everything Keeps her up all night.

She took Brother Yu to sit on the rooftop alone, looked at the stars and said she wanted to go home.

Brother Yu kept repeating what Qin Xianyu taught him to say in front of Zhang Liu: "Xiao Liu, love you, Xiao Liu, love you..."

Animals still have feelings, and they are reluctant to let Zhang Liu leave this world, and even use deceptive words to her, telling her to stay and not leave.

After getting along for a long time, not only does it have feelings for Zhang Liu, it seems that Zhang Liu can also tell the difference from its behavior.She released Brother Yu from the cage, and there was reluctance in her grief: "You are his bird, and so am I. I can give you freedom, but I can't fly."

Brother Yu is indeed not an ordinary bird. The vocal organs superior to other birds have brought convenience to their family. During thousands of years of learning and evolution, they have accumulated a wealth of vocabulary including human language. If It is not to avoid exposing the characteristics of their family, and there is no problem in fully integrating into human life.If it is still a very ordinary bird, except for the hypnosis and bewilderment with words taught by its ancestors, it can't even open the cage and fly to the vast sky by itself.

Zhang Liu opened the cage, but Brother Yu refused to leave. He wanted to say to her: "I can't take you flying, but I can accompany you."

Qin Xianyu quietly appeared behind Zhang Liu. He gently put his hands on Zhang Liu's shoulders, and said in the softest and cruelest voice: "Xiao Liu, don't leave me forever, okay?"

When Zhang Liu turned around, his body fell straight from the roof of the building to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

Qin Xianyu stood at the place where she was sitting in meditation, and said to the night sky in a dazed way: "Xiao Liu, you promised me to be together forever, didn't you?"

"I hate him! But Xiao Liu doesn't want him to be hurt... He doesn't love his son in the first place, I just keep them farther away from each other!" If a bird's eyes can spew fire, then Brother Yu is now Its gaze can burn almost everything it can see.

Huang Shirt smiled and said, "I don't have much ability, but I have a strong desire for revenge. Injuries that are not painful and not itchy can't be called injuries, so do you really think this is enough?"

At first, the monster said that it wanted to stop the spirits from interfering too much in human life, but now it seems that it is not too big of a deal just to watch the excitement.

"I can't wait to push him downstairs too, so that he can feel Xiao Liu's pain too! But..."

"She doesn't want to? How can you give up? She is a bun, and so are you."

Huang Shan turned the conversation around and said to Jiang He, "Don't pout, you already are." Jiang He lay down on the gun inexplicably, covering his face and not wanting to talk to him.

Seeing his sudden movements, Zhang Huai asked him worriedly, "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"

Jiang He quickly let go of his hand, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, I'm just thinking about what to do next."

At this time, Huang Shan suddenly said: "You are just a bird, and human affairs must be resolved by human beings in the end."

Brother Yu seemed extremely unwilling, and struggled emotionally: "You mean to let me let Qin Yiyang go?"

Huang Shan smiled and said, "I didn't let him go, I gave it to human beings to use as a bargaining chip."

I don't know how much real smile there is in the monster's smile in Huang Shirt. Just like some people have no feelings for animals, he has no feelings for humans, but sometimes under his fake smile without warmth, he Everything he did seemed to be helping Jiang He.There was no need for him to make a move.

Before releasing Brother Yu, it told them one more thing: "I saw that Xiao Liu was brought back by him and temporarily placed in one of his other courtyards. He believed that Xiao Liu was not dead, so he planned to summon her soul. "

If Zhang Yunyuan still had a fluke mentality the night he took Zhang Liu out of the hospital, then after Zhang Liu was buried, he had completely believed in the fact that his daughter had passed away—why didn’t he think that all this happened was just a dream of his own? ?

But the reality is too cruel. When he and Zhang Huai called the police and led the police into the house, they saw the altar spiritual artifacts arranged, a group of Taoist monks, and the person who seemed so lonely in the crowd had changed. The daughter who looked like him, the tears he had already shed dried up flowed from those dry eyes again.

"You lunatic!"

Qin Xianyu's eyes were also bloodshot, and his eyes were flushed: "So what if I'm crazy? I love Xiaoliu... I still remember the first time I saw her in the hospital, just through the elevator door. From now on, her appearance has been clearly engraved in my mind... She is not as good-looking as before, but I still love her!"

"Your love, Xiao Liu can't bear it."

"It's what you think! Every one of you wants Xiao Liu to leave me... Xiao Liu has become more and more unhappy these years, and I am tired... I admit that I pushed Xiao Liu downstairs. I thought about talking to her Jumped together, but I flinched."

The police took Qin Xianyu away, and Zhang Yunyuan, in tears, arranged for his daughter's remains again, while Zhang Huai stayed silently by his side.

On the other hand, Jiang He, who was still in the hospital, didn't know that Qin Xianyu had let go of his confession. He said to Zhao Jia, "I know where your son is. Last night, Sister Liu had a dream. Qin Yiyang was not taken away by Sister Liu. She never thought about it." Hurt innocent people. We won't keep you from telling, but you have to tell us what you know."

Zhao Jia was extremely excited and said, "Do you know where Yiyang is? What do you want to know?"

Jiang He nodded and asked, "How did Qin Xianyu marry you after marrying Sister Liu? What happened the day Sister Liu had a miscarriage? You know that Sister Liu was pushed downstairs by Qin Xianyu, right?"

At this time, Zhao Jia was full of his son whose whereabouts were unknown, and worried that he would never see him again, so he said: "He didn't really marry Zhang Liu at all. I found him for him. I just did it. Show it to Zhang Liu and you. The day I went to find her, I asked her to show me the marriage certificate, but she couldn't find it anywhere. When Xianyu went back at night, she asked Xianyu. Xianyu thought she wanted to divorce again, because she didn't drink Controlling her emotions, she pushed Zhang Liu down. Zhang Liu bled and couldn't get up on the ground. She asked Xianyu to take her to the hospital. Xianyu said she didn't know whose wild species would be better. She didn't pick her up until Zhang Liu fell into a coma and lost consciousness. She was sent to the hospital. I don’t know if it was Xianyu who pushed her downstairs, but it should be her own decision. She insisted on ending the relationship, but Xianyu refused, and then she went to the rooftop alone. "

Unexpectedly, Zhao Jia knew more details than expected, Jiang He asked again: "Did Qin Xianyu tell you?"

"He has installed surveillance cameras in every corner of the room...Sometimes I also think he is simply a pervert." After a pause, Zhao Jia cried and laughed foolishly, "I'm not much better... In the name of wronging yourself and hurting others, after so many years, is there really so much love? What is love anyway?"

"What else do you want to know? Where is Yiyang?"

There was a slight breeze blowing in the room, and the yellow shirt who came back after leaving not long ago whispered in his ear: "It's downstairs, you can see it when you leave the building of the inpatient department."

Zhao Jia ran downstairs in a hurry, Jiang He sighed, then walked slowly to the window to take a casual look outside, and then answered Zhao Jia's doubts just now, but saw a somewhat familiar figure standing outside the window for some reason.

"Xiaogu?" Shouldn't it be in Nanxing Village?If it wasn't for it, wouldn't it be scared away by humans?

The cuckoo outside the window nodded, looking deeply at the river, with tears in his eyes.

It's hard for Jiang He to understand. From a bird, he can still see such eyes that contain many emotions, such as sadness, self-blame, hesitation, and even deeper, there is nostalgia for something. Under the pain, he faintly wants to understand. later relief.

"Xiaohe, I'm sorry."

"Why are you saying sorry to me?"

"I once told you that I have met Zhang Huai before, and I have also met you. I am sorry that we have to use this method when we meet officially for the first time, and it is also regrettable that I can't use it in front of Xiao Huai so he can understand it." I would like to say to you, Hello Xiaohe, I am Zhang Liu, nice to meet you. I don’t know how it happened, but the thing is so mysterious, because the irreparable consequence of my mistake is that I changed from a Man becomes a bird."

Jiang He was surprised, amazed, and then suddenly realized that Xiaogu was not like an ordinary bird, but he never thought that it was a bird with a human soul.What surprised him even more was that Xiaogu continued, "Although I'm sorry for Dad and Xiaohuai, I don't regret the jump."

"Is there really no other way?"

Jiang He didn't know what to say. When Xiaogu was just Xiaogu, he could tell it everything. Knowing that it was still Zhang Liu, besides feeling sorry for Zhang Liu in his heart, he also felt a little unexplainable embarrassment. After all, Zhang Liu is Zhang Huai's only sister.

Zhang Huai has always believed that his sister will not be overwhelmed, but in the end it is because she has given up all hope - but what if she doesn't give up?They have already seen Qin Xianyu's extreme possessiveness, who would be willing to die if he could leave alive?

With tears in his eyes, Xiaogu choked up and said: "After I became a bird, I almost forgot all my previous experiences, but every now and then I dreamed of being caught and locked in a cage, and I would think of the things I tried my best to avoid and didn't want to face. , I don’t want to go back to him again... Only after being imprisoned can I know the beauty of freedom.”

The 19-year-old Zhang Liu met Qin Xianyu when he was still in college. Both of them lived in the hospital because of their mother's illness. The difference is that one was admitted to a special ward because of pneumonia caused by a small cold, and the other was faced with being unable to pay for hospitalization. Fees and surgery fees may leave the hospital at any time.

Qin Xianyu took the initiative to help Zhang Liu and the others solve their predicament, and launched an extremely passionate pursuit of her. Like many girls who yearn for a beautiful and romantic love, Zhang Liu was not without a heartbeat, but she was always rational and sober. It's just an unrealistic dream.

Qin Xianyu didn't threaten her with his help of Zhang Liu's family. What was even more irresistible was that he frequently committed extreme behaviors, drinking too much, going on hunger strikes, self-mutilating, and tortured himself to the point of being bruised.Zhang Liu is not a hard-hearted person, and she gradually began to believe in Qin Xianyu's sincerity.

After being in love for two years, Qin Xianyu showed no signs of giving up. Instead, he proposed to Zhang Liu before she graduated.Zhang Liu likes places with beautiful scenery. He took her to most places in China, so he went abroad for his graduation trip. After returning, Qin Xianyu told everyone that they were married.It was useless for Ren Qin Xianyu's mother to cry and fuss. Qin Xianyu held a make-up wedding with great fanfare, and married Zhang Liufeng into the family in front of everyone.

In the eyes of many people, Zhang Liu is considered to be married into a rich family, lucky or unlucky, only she knows best.From the very beginning, Qin Xianyu's mother, who disliked Zhang Liu's humble birth and was not worthy of marrying Qin Xianyu, came to the house to make trouble.In order to avoid meeting her, Zhang Liu found a job as soon as possible. Although she was only an intern in a photo studio, she also loved taking photos of happy couples with a camera.

However, after working for less than half a year, Qin Xianyu asked her to quit her job.Not only that, Qin Xianyu also began to interfere with Zhang Liu's interpersonal communication. He deleted all the male classmates and colleagues in the address book, and Zhang Liu was forced to stay at home. He didn't even have the Internet. He could only read books and do manual work to pass the time. From time to time, Qin Xianyu's mother would come to find fault with her, accusing her of neither working nor fulfilling her duty as a wife.

After Zhang Liu became pregnant, the relationship between Qin Xianyu's mother and her seemed to ease somewhat, and she hired a confinement wife for her sake.However, the confinement sister-in-law may be too young and playful, so she does not clean thoroughly every time, and Zhang Liu needs to clean it again.One time, due to too much water remaining on the floor, Zhang Liu was careful enough but still slipped and fell. The confinement sister-in-law did not respond to her calls, so she had to go to the hospital alone. Unfortunately, it was raining that day, and Zhang Liu waited for a long time before stopping her. It was too late to go to the hospital in a car, and she lost her first child just like that.Everyone blamed her, and she also blamed herself, trying to maintain a smile during the day, but crying silently in the middle of the night.

Zhang Liu, who was so positive and cheerful at first, gradually became depressed, and later had several miscarriages one after another. Qin Xianyu would only say to her, Xiao Liu, I'm sorry, and then severely restricted her freedom, preventing her from having the opportunity to be alone with any opposite sex, even Even Zhang Huai didn't like him getting too close to Zhang Liu.

He always said, Xiao Liu, I love you so much, and repeated it day after day for more than ten years, like a curse... Zhang Liu could not go back to her natal family, and was forced to lose contact with her family, and she was confined to a specific range of activities Inside, there is only one bird that can talk to relieve boredom when there is no one.

Qin Xianyu did not let Zhang Liu know about many things. She never knew that Zhao Jia was not only a sister, but also another legal wife of her "husband". three.Qin Xianyu deceived everyone, except himself. He thought everyone was like him, and love and marriage could be betrayed at the same time.In front of the facts, the love in lies is so vulnerable.

Even so, when Zhang Liu expressed to Qin Xianyu his determination to end the relationship, Qin Xianyu still refused to let Zhang Liu leave.According to Zhao Jia, another important reason for Qin Xianyu's reluctance is that at this moment, his official career is facing a crucial link, and she hopes that Zhang Liu can leave quietly.

Before going to the rooftop, Zhang Liu really thought about jumping off it, even if she left Qin Xianyu, where could she go?How should she explain the fake marriage of more than ten years to her father and younger brother?

But death is just an escape, and the truth will always be covered up instead of dying with death.

It was Qin Xianyu who really made Zhang Liu firm in his mind. He held Zhang Liu's shoulders, and for a moment there was a killing intent in his eyes.

In a life that is neither too long nor too short, the first half of life is poor but joyful, and the second half of life has no worries about food and clothing. Not only is there no freedom, but even life and death may be controlled by others. At that moment, Zhang Liu suddenly began to hate Qin Xianyu, the only one in his life One time of selfishness, without considering the consequences, he jumped, let him watch how "Zhang Liu" broke free from his cage, and said goodbye to him and the world.

"Actually... before... I thought maybe I could change back to Zhang Liu... nothing more than returning to the cage again. At least Dad and Xiao Huai won't be sad. But, they already know the truth. Instead of being caught dead, my Leaving is not a bad thing, hurt is inevitable, after a heart-wrenching sadness, there will be no more worries, the living should only live for themselves."

Xiao Gu's words made Jiang He sigh in his heart. Zhang Liu couldn't come back at all. In order to keep her body from tossing and tossing, Zhang Yunyuan and Zhang Huai decided to cremate her before taking her back.

Since Qin Xianyu pleaded guilty, he has been silent like a stone sunk in the sea. Except for Jiang He, no one can prove that Qin Xianyu did not push Zhang Liu, but when the incident happened, Jiang He didn't know Qin Xianyu at all, and he had never seen him Zhang Liu, obviously, Qin Xianyu didn't intend to defend himself.In addition, Qin Xianyu is also facing charges of bigamy and theft of corpses. Not only will his official career be interrupted, but he will spend a long time in prison for the rest of his life.

Life goes on, and life keeps moving forward. The haze hanging over the heads of the Zhang family and his son reached its peak again when Jiang He accidentally mentioned that he wanted to eat sweet and crispy meat. Zhang Yunyuan held back his tears and refused to let Zhang Huai help , and stayed alone with the kitchen door closed for nearly two hours. When he came out, his figure was shaky, and he pointed to the kitchen to signal Jiang He to go in by himself.

Jiang He went to the kitchen and brought Zhang Yunyuan's large bowl of crispy meat hung with snow-white icing to the yard, took a piece with his bare hands, raised his arm and said, "Sister Liu loves sweet crispy meat the most,... I made it, and I didn't make it when I was a child." Snacks are eaten, and meat is rarely bought...every time I use fat lard to fry it into desserts for Sister Liu and Zhang Huai as snacks, it is sweet and crisp, and I will never forget it."

Zhang Huai's face changed slightly, he didn't speak, he saw a bird flying over from the courtyard wall, it took the piece of meat from Jiang He's hand, and circled above the heads of several people, it was still lingering.

Jiang He handed the basin to Zhang Huai, and said with a half smile, "Zhang Huai, a cuckoo, is also called Zigui." He knew that Zhang Huai would definitely understand what he meant. a form.
