Hollow wind

Song Zheng, what did you do to Fang Yunwan?

The atmosphere of the New Year's Eve dinner was not good, and it didn't last too long. After the meal, most of the mountain and sea delicacies on the table were left.

Formally having the reunion dinner with Song Qijun, Jiang Xiu was physically and mentally exhausted.He didn't intend to stay longer in the old house, he drank half a glass of warm water in the living room, sat politely for a quarter of an hour, and then proposed to go back to rest.

Song Qijun felt a little unhappy, and Song Zheng came out to mediate in a timely manner: while comforting the old man, he explained for Jiang Xiu that Jiang Xiu had been weak since he was a child, and he was busy at the end of the year. I couldn't keep my eyes open, and came to accompany him to have a reunion dinner, please Song Qijun don't torment Jiang Xiu, let him go back to rest earlier; on the other hand, he excused Song Qijun, saying that he rarely looks forward to a family reunion all year round , I also ask Jiang Xiu to be considerate and considerate of him.

After some words, both parties' faces were taken into consideration, Song Qijun's expression immediately eased, he nodded and said: "I was careless, Xiaoxiu, go back quickly."

Jiang Xiu took off his coat from the hanger and put it on. He was about to say goodbye to Song Qijun and Song Zheng, but he saw Song Zheng also took off his coat after him, turned to Song Qijun and said, "Uncle, I'm going to see Xiaoxiu off. Come back to watch the party with you."

The Song family's old house is located in the old town of Yucheng. It is a Chinese-style courtyard with three entrances.In recent years, Jiang Xiu and Song Zheng have undertaken more than half of the affairs of the Songwen Group for Song Qijun. After his leisure time, he basically lives in the old house, living a leisurely life of raising flowers and playing with birds.

It's not yet spring, and the weather is still cold. The flowers and trees in the courtyard are sorted by Song Qijun according to their habits and placed in good condition. In the greenhouse that should be sent to the greenhouse, the rhizomes should be protected with layers of hay. The lush courtyard in the past looks lonely and desolate. .

A sick plum tree in the front yard withered and died last year, because it was Song Jin's favorite when she was a child, and Song Qijun was reluctant to cut it down and replant it.

On the contrary, some strings of small lanterns were specially hung up, which became the most lively scene in the yard on winter nights.

There was nothing to say all the way, when Jiang Xiu and Song Zheng walked under the plum tree, Song Zheng said: "I know you are angry with me, I think I knew Fang Yunwan was going to escape, but didn't remind you. But Xiaoxiu, you You have been entangled with Fang Yunwan for so many years, let it go if you have to."

Song Zheng said all the good things again.

Jiang Xiu was so angry that he wanted to laugh: "There are only two of us here, can you stop pretending?"

The courtyard was quiet, even the moonlight and starlight were dark.Most of the gentleness and kindness are in the bright place, but the maliciousness has nowhere to go, and it will show up in the dark if you are not careful.

Song Zheng was still smiling, and the smile became more and more wanton: "Xiaoxiu, how can you talk to uncle like that?"

"Song Zheng, what did you do to Fang Yunwan?"

"Didn't you let people search for it in the bay for a month? Don't you have an answer?" Song Zheng lowered his head and fiddled with his slender fingers. The red lantern on the plum branch overflowed with red light, dripping on the back of his white hand. It looked like a handful of dazzling blood.

He stared into Jiang Xiu's eyes, and told him cruelly: "How could I let you find him so easily? Fang Yunwan was no longer in the car when the car was pushed into the sea. The water on the coast is too shallow, and the fishermen also Too many, too easy to rescue.

So I deliberately caught him out of the car, tied a large rock to his foot, and drove the boat out to sea for half an hour before pushing him into the sea. "

It turned out that Fang Yunwan fell into the sea and the car fell into the sea in a different place. No wonder they found nothing after such a long search.

After such a long time, Jiang Xiu had actually accepted the fact that Fang Yunwan was gone, but when Song Zheng explained the details of Fang Yunwan's death so carefully, Jiang Xiu felt like a bullet in his heart It exploded, and the whole body was covered with bloody pain, and there were waves of humming rolling in my ears, as unreal as falling into a nightmare.

Jiang Xiu stared at Song Zheng, his chest heaved violently under the agitation of emotions, his body swayed, and he took a step back, barely able to support the dead plum tree beside him.

His breathing was unsteady, and he gasped and asked Song Zheng, "Where is it?"

"No need to go, you can't find him." Song Zheng sighed softly, and kindly took out a tissue and handed it to Jiang Xiu, "Fang Yunwan also said before he died that he didn't want to see you. Out of respect Dead man, I won't tell you."

Jiang Xiu's sharp eyes seemed to be covered with mist for a moment, and he was in a trance: "Why, don't you want to see me?"

"Do you really want to hear it?" Song Zheng frowned slightly, with a trace of hypocritical compassion in his excitement.

Jiang Xiu leaned against the plum tree and stood firm: "I don't want to hear it, don't you know how to say it?"

Song Zheng smiled: "He said, five years ago, he had everything, because of you, he became a street mouse that everyone shouted and beat; five years later, he was finally able to face the past calmly, and it was also because of you, this time He didn't even have a life."

Having said that, Song Zheng paused, and turned his head to look at Jiang Xiu.

Song Zheng knew that Jiang Xiu was born with heart disease, and his body was weaker than ordinary people. He devoted himself to Songwen for many years, and he was suffering his life to go to work. Recently, he was poisoned twice in a short period of time. So many things happened. Layer upon layer, almost destroyed the foundation of his body, how could he stand such a stimulus?

Although the night was dim, he could still vaguely see Jiang Xiu's face through the sporadic lights in the yard.Sure enough, Jiang Xiu's usual pale face had a faint gray color.Song Zheng looked at Jiang Xiu who was so weak that he could barely stand, and thought, after Fang Yunwan's accident, Jiang Xiu probably won't live long.

Jiang Xiu's eyes were a little lax, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Yun Wan, did you say anything else?"

This man is simply asking for guilt.Song Zheng raised his eyebrows, and continued what he had just said: "One more thing, Fang Yunwan said, all the misfortunes in his life started when he met you."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiu froze suddenly, staring at Song Zheng in a daze.

"He is, does he regret meeting me?"

Jiang Xiu's voice was so low that he could barely hear it, but the courtyard was too quiet, so the low and weak voice still fell into Song Zheng's ears.

Song Zheng shrugged: "I don't know, but maybe that's what it means."

"I see. If there is nothing else, I will go first."

Jiang Xiu's reaction was calmer than Song Zheng thought. He ignored Song Zheng, turned his back, and walked slowly towards the gate.

Song Zheng couldn't see his expression clearly, he had to stop for a while when he walked for a while.From time to time, he covered his lips and coughed muffledly, and his shoulders trembled slightly. His thin and thin figure looked lonely and pitiful in the night.

It wasn't until Jiang Xiu walked out of the gate that Song Zheng hurriedly followed, wiped the latch from the inside and walked back, only to find blood dripping sporadically from where Jiang Xiu had just walked all the way.

On the night of New Year's Eve, the streets are empty, and every house is brightly lit.

Jiang Xiu was not feeling well, so he didn't dare to drive. He walked out slowly, intending to take a taxi home.As he walked along the street, he could hear laughter from the windows from time to time. Those windows were like the eyes of the city. On this day of family reunion, every pair of eyes was bright and joyful.

On days like this, you can't even take a taxi.And Xu Zhang, Xu Luyao, Cheng Sheng, and Aunt Wu couldn't get in touch at this time.

Xu Zhang naturally had a normal holiday and went home to celebrate the New Year. No one was obliged to arrange homeless bosses on the night of New Year's Eve.And Xu Luyao was not in Yucheng at all, he had a rare long vacation and dragged his family back to his hometown for the New Year.During the Chinese New Year, Aunt Wu also went home. Jiang Xiu couldn't take good care of An An, so he also entrusted An An to Xu Luyao to take her back to his hometown.

But Jiang Xiu had nowhere to go, and he didn't want to leave Yucheng. Fang Yunwan was here, so he had to stay with him.

At least, they are in the same city.

Soon, Jiang Xiu couldn't move anymore, and his footsteps became slower and heavier. He looked up at the lights of Wanjia, and thought of the windows of his own house.There was no one in the house, so the windows were naturally dark, like a pair of lifeless eyes, watching the joy and fulfillment everywhere, envious and jealous.

as same as him.

The snow that had stopped in the afternoon drifted down again, and a thin layer of white snow had accumulated on the ground not long after.

Before he knew it, Jiang Xiu stepped on the thin snow and walked outside Ji's small courtyard.

Ji Shunping's business is going well today, the yard is full of cars, and there are two big lanterns hanging on the left and right of the gate, which is as prosperous as his business.Jiang Xiu stood outside the door for a while, watching the people inside busy in an orderly manner.

During the New Year's Eve, some people are busy with reunions, some are busy with making money, and everyone has a lot to do, which is great.

The weather was too cold, and Jiang Xiu felt that his blood was frozen. There seemed to be tiny ice slags flowing in his blood vessels, and there was no pain in his limbs.He felt extremely tired, so he found a bluestone slab at the corner and sat down, resting his elbows on his knees to support his drowsy head.

He had eaten at Song Qijun's in the past, and he would walk along the old city like this.The time before he was six or seven years old belonged to this place. At that time, Song Jin and Jiang Zhiheng were always busy, and Jiang Xiu was often put to sleep by Aunt Ji when he came home at night.Song Jin and Jiang Zhiheng are people who can enjoy their lives anytime and anywhere.

Even though he didn't spend much time with Jiang Xiu, in Jiang Xiu's memory, the days with his parents are still the warmest and most beautiful time for him in more than 30 years.

Until he met Fang Yunwan later, he thought that he had the ability to make him safe for the rest of his life, to be at ease, never to bow his knees, and always be as proud as a peacock.

But in the end, it was me who ruined him, and it was me who caused him to have nowhere to bury him.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiu felt a cold pain in his chest, covered his lips with his hand and coughed lightly, and the scalding sticky liquid was sprayed on his palm again.

Under the loss of blood, Jiang Xiu felt more and more weak and drowsy. When he was about to fall asleep, someone suddenly came out of Ji's courtyard.The man was wearing a black jacket, carrying a takeaway box in his hand, and walked towards a van not far away. From the looks of it, he should have come to the store to pack food.

Jiang Xiu narrowed his eyes and stared at the man in a daze.

Suddenly, a ray of light flashed through his mind, and Jiang Xiu stood up abruptly, and quickly ran towards the van.But Jiangxiu couldn't stand still at the station, and he staggered to the parking space. The van had already driven a long way.

The guy who just got in the car...

Jiang Xiu stood in the parking space and looked at the direction of the van going away. He was short of breath and his heart was pounding. His eyes suddenly went dark and he fell down.

The author says:

Although Xiao Fang did not appear, Xiao Fang appeared in the dialogue;

I think someone will be able to guess who the van driver is, but I won't tell you if you guessed it anyway-

I may not be able to see you tomorrow, if there is no update at ten o'clock tomorrow night, don't wait, see you on Tuesday——

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
