Deer in the forest

Li Jibai used all available connections and means to weave a net to catch a fleeing fish.

No matter how the fish hide, they are also hiding in the pond. The sea is so far away that it can only be a luxury.

Two months later, some clues were glimpsed in the mist.

It's time to close the net.

Lin Shen works in the only cold drink shop on the island.When he first arrived here, he rented a loft through the kind soda shop owner, and he was able to settle in quickly.

His origin is unknown, but he is good-looking, with a cool and clean temperament, and is at odds with the residents of the island, so he soon became the focus of this small island.

The island rarely has outsiders coming in. The people are simple, not xenophobic, and not so vigilant. They have appropriate curiosity and kindness towards this newcomer, and it didn't take long for him to be regarded as a part of the island.

Lin Shen had abandoned his car and walked on foot long before he entered the island. He had no destination, and he didn't care where he went.Staying on this small island whose name is so simple as "island" was beyond his expectation.There was only one boat trip to and from the nearest town every week on the island. At that time, he had already walked along the coastline for seven or eight days, and when he was tired, he boarded the boat that came to the town to buy goods and helped to carry the goods on the boat. The owner of the cold drink shop offered a hand.

In this way, he stayed.

As for the future, he has also planned to hide for a while, and when the Li family relaxes their pursuit, he may go to Europe to find Jiang Hai, or to travel around the world, to Finland to see the aurora, and to eat the local blueberry pie again In short, he wants to change back to Lu Ming, no more falsehood, calculation and hatred for the rest of his life, and truly live his own life.

As for Li Jibai... Maybe just forget it completely.The love and pain this person gave him were too intense, he couldn't afford it before, and he didn't dare to have it anymore.

Even if we meet again, love and pain may not be important matters, and maybe it will kill him.

Unexpectedly, after staying for two months, he became more and more fond of the ease and comfort of the island, and even had the idea of ​​spending the rest of his life here.

However, the rest of life is too long and there are too many changes.

The suddenly comfortable life did not let him relax his vigilance, but the island is so small and closed, so closed that there is no mark on the map.Lin Shen felt that even if he was found, it would not be so fast.

So he planned to take a good rest for a while, go to the cold drink shop to work as usual every day, cook, read and sleep after get off work, and even planted flowers in the attic with great interest.

Li Jibai looked at the person in the video, wearing the simplest T-shirt, shorts, and sneakers. He guessed that the total cost of the clothes did not exceed 100 yuan, but the smile on that person’s face was bright and clean. contented.

——As if he didn't remember what he had betrayed at all, and he didn't even care if someone was looking for him, he was crazy, and he didn't seem to worry about what would happen to him after being caught.

Li Jibai held back his overwhelming anger, looked at the calm face in the camera, and dropped his phone.

Well, since you ignore the past, then pay for the future!

A large field of sunflowers and geraniums bloomed just in front of the door, adding a strong color to the hot afternoon.Li Jibai always thought that Lin Shen liked plain things, but he didn't expect that brightly colored things would suit him too.

Li Jibai sneered from the bottom of his heart, how many things did he not know?But it doesn't matter, after grasping it, you can study it slowly.

The layout of the room can be seen at a glance. There is only one bedroom and living room, and there is a small bathroom and kitchen near the window sill.The furnishing of the room is also very simple, with a single bed, a chair and a desk, there is no place for a guest to sit, I am afraid they can only sit on the bed.

A few open books were thrown on the desk. It was Marquez's "Love in the Time of Cholera", and it even had annotations.There is also a copy of "The Collapse of the Celestial Dynasty" next to it.

Should I praise you as a calm spectator of romanticism?

Li Jibai casually threw the book aside, hiding a backpack behind the book.Some cash, ID, a hat and a mask, and you can leave at any time as long as you pack your bag.

——The preparations for escaping anytime and anywhere are well done.

Li Jibai threw the bag to Jon, and also put those books in it.

Then, sit back and wait.

Lin Shen's footsteps had already reached the door, and Li Jibai sat on the chair in the room, as if he could feel the man's breathing against his ears.

There is a kind of excitement that the prey is about to throw itself into the net, mixed with anxiety and anger.

He clenched his fists and held his breath in order to suppress the urge to rush out and pinch the man's neck and drag him into the room.

Lin Shen stopped walking, followed by a burst of noise, as if he sensed danger, or noticed something, in short, when he was still a few steps away from the gate, he turned and ran away.

He heard the muffled sound of the kettle hitting the ground, the sound of Jon chasing him out, and even the slight crisp sound of his bones when Lin Shen jumped from the roof and fell to the ground.

Everything about Lin Shen, breathing, movements, language, and speed, escaped from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding world, like a three-dimensional relief raised on a large flat surface, was captured by him precisely, and it was clearly visible in front of his eyes. .

He went out of his way to be calm and nonchalant.

So when Luo Yi pushed Lin Shen into the door, he didn't get up from the chair immediately.

Thin.

I sprained my ankle.

His wrist was red and bleeding from the soft whip.

There are fine scratches on the exposed skin, which should have been injured by vines while escaping.

I made myself into this ghost in two months.

"I ran away for two months, hid on such a small island, worked in a cold drink shop, and lived in the attic—" Li Jibai heard his own voice, "I thought you had left yourself such a great retreat. "

Lin Shen lowered his head, as if it would break if he touched it.

"That's right, if you killed Uncle's whole family, once you are found by the Li family, you will definitely have no way out. That's why you found such a broken place, where you can hide for a while, and you can escape at any time, right?"

Li Jibai stood up and walked towards that person.The man was trembling, finely, imperceptibly.

"You have lied to me for so many years, it's very fulfilling, huh?"

Li Jibai approached step by step, his voice rang in his ears, "Do you still remember how the last traitor was dealt with?"

His hands and feet were cut off, and he was thrown to the underground black market on the border.

Lin Shen's face turned pale, but he still refused to speak or look up at him.

Li Jibai's emotions that had been suppressed for two months broke out in Lin Shen's uncompromising silence, violently.

"I didn't even know that a dog that has been around for so many years would actually bite its owner. The bite was really deep enough."

Lin Shen finally had a reaction, and raised his head to look at the man in front of him: "He deserves what he deserves."

After two months, when the two met again, the first thing Lin Shen said was

"it serves him right".Lin Shen's eyes were red, and hatred appeared on his face, "Shouldn't he have a taste of family ruin?"

very good!

Li Jibai could no longer control the desire to crush the man in front of him.The uncle's family deserved what they deserved, and you killed it well.

Then the killing is over, it's time to settle the score between us!

Lin Shen was thrown against the wall by him like a piece of rag. The sound of the cloth rubbing against the wall and the sound of panting was long and piercing, making Li Jibai's eyes bloodshot.

"I don't owe you, and I'm not sorry to you and Hongbai." Lin Shen choked on the fishy sweetness gushing out of his throat, and coughed violently.

Then he seemed to have infinite courage, "If time is enough, Li Qingluo and his son alone can't afford to pay for the lives of my father and sister." He gritted his teeth and roared, expressing the assumption that Li Jibai had been avoiding in his heart, "If time Enough, I will let the entire Li family be buried with you, including you."

The string in Li Jibai's heart snapped.

Blood surged up, almost making him unable to distinguish between fantasy and reality, and Lin Shen's words "including you" filled his ears.

The flimsy T-shirt was vulnerable and could be torn apart with a single stroke. Li Jibai turned Lin Shen over violently, knocked his face face down on the cold ground, and assumed a humiliating posture.

Lin Shen was like a fish pinned to a chopping board, struggling desperately, but to no avail.He could only make a hoarse inhalation sound in his throat, and his whole body hurt so much that he wanted to die.

He knew that Li Jibai was carrying a gun, if he provoked him even a little bit, he would succeed.Better to be killed by a single shot than a long torture.

Before he was arrested, he made many assumptions and simulated various results. He was absolutely sure that he would not be able to bear the torture. In the past, just because of the Cold War and interests, that person abandoned him without hesitation, let alone now that he killed the Li family.

He can love someone with his life, but it doesn't mean he has no dignity.

Just want to die quickly.

However, after all, he underestimated Li Jibai.

If you have to go through this kind of devastation before you die, then what's the point.Fear and humiliation prevailed, causing him to cry and beg incoherently, "Kill me, Li Jibai, you kill me!"

There was a pause.

The heavy pressure on his body was removed, and he was panting fiercely just now, and his already stripped body received a depressive chill in the scorching air. Before Lin Shen recovered, he heard Li Jibai's slow voice. .

"Want to provoke me to ask for death?" His sneering voice hit his ear, whispering like a devil, "I almost got tricked by you again."

Lin Shen closed his eyes in despair.

"Lin Shen, admit it, you love me." Li Jibai seemed to be describing an objective fact, without any emotion, "You tried your best to completely cut off Hongbai's route before setting up a scheme to kill Li Linzhou, because you were afraid that I would be involved go in."

"I would rather be threatened by Wei Qidong than let the video out, not because of my own face, but because I am afraid that Hongbai will be affected, and I am afraid that I will be judged."

"Even if you sacrifice yourself, you have to block that shot for me."

"Lin Shen, you love me so much, why are you willing to include me?"

"Lin Shen, I've never seen someone as cheap as you."

"You want to die, but I'm not as good as you want. You haven't paid off what you owe me. You also know that many people are looking for you now, my grandfather and even the Wei family, you are still valuable."

"Wei Qidong has always been thinking about you. Tell me, if you are given to him this time, and his wish is completely fulfilled, will he let me give me a little more for the project of the Wei family in the future?"

"Don't worry, before you and Wei Qidong, you are allowed to go to my place to serve for a few days."

"You won't stay with Wei Qidong for a long time. I'll make an appointment with him, and you'll come back when the time comes. Then—" He tilted his head and thought for a while, "And then if someone else needs it, you can go there."

"Wait until your value is drained, and then think about how to die!"

……

Reason is a good thing, but it's a pity that Li Jibai doesn't have it now.

Every word hurts people's heart, like a knife, cutting every inch of Lin Shen's nerves.Why strip the truth naked?Why don't you leave me a path?

The breakdown came quickly, and he no longer had the strength to hide it.

"Li Jibai..."

"Yes... I love you, even if you treat me like this, I will..." I couldn't continue, tears seemed to open the gate, and I accumulated all the suffering and unspeakable grievances for a long time. All broke down and burst into tears.

……

"Please, for the sake of my love for you, don't treat me like this..."

"elder brother……"

After many years, Lin Shen called his brother again, but this time he was begging on the verge of death.

"Kill me!"
