did not meet tonight

With such a big event happening, Baliping didn’t stop, new topics emerged endlessly, and there were all kinds of guesses. Everyone began to think about it after the fact, and analyzed Zhang Banxian’s weirdness in the past few years in a logical manner, claiming that they were also deceived by him. However, it was because he was highly respected in the village, so he didn't dare to speak out, and his words were full of deep hatred for Zhang Banxian.

More people hated Zhang Banxian, and more people sympathized with Zhu Qingping. The village committee organized a donation event, and there were quite a few people who came to the scene. Thirty or fifty of this family really raised a lot of money. The village head and the village secretary handed over the passbook to Zhu Qingping in person.Ma Meijing was buried on the back mountain. On the day of the funeral, it was deserted, and the villagers sent them a few steps symbolically. Except for Ye Jian, only Zhang Sheng and Ma Meijing's eldest brother were the ones who actually sent people up the mountain.

Everyone died, and the grievances and grievances in the past seemed to disappear. After the ashes were put in the grave, the middle-aged man took out an envelope and stuffed it into Zhu Wenhao's hand, and left without looking back.

Of course, the envelope contained money, and the money was also the knife that cut off the last relationship between the two families.

Zhu Qingping was much older, and his hair was covered with gray hair at the age of less than forty. Zhu Wenhao knelt in front of the grave dumbfounded, and only knocked his head three times under Zhu Qingping's compulsion.Ye Jian didn't know what Zhu Wenhao's future fate would be like, or whether the child could come out of the shadows, but the past has passed, and as long as people survive, good things will always happen in the future.

Ye Jian raised his head, looked at the blue sky, and sighed deeply.

When he was going down the mountain, he was considering whether to go to his uncle's house. He had been back for so long, and he hadn't visited it. Although he knew that his family would not welcome him, they were his relatives after all. If his parents were still alive, they wouldn't Want to see this result.

He hesitated in front of the courtyard door for a while, and finally raised his hand to knock, the door was half-closed, a dog barked from inside, and Yang Cuilan's voice came: "Who, come in, the door is unlocked! "

Ye Jian pushed open the door and saw Yang Cuilan drying clothes, uncle Ye Dagui sitting at the door choosing vegetables, a big yellow dog tied to a post, seeing a stranger coming in and barking.Yang Cuilan's complexion dropped instantly: "What are you doing here?"

What are you here for?

Yes, what is he doing here?

Ye Jian smiled uncomfortably, and said, "I'll come and see Uncle."

Yang Cuilan glanced at him up and down, and snorted coldly: "The people who have stayed in the city are really different. They can come here empty-handed to visit the elders."

"Okay, we're all a family, so why bother about these things." Ye Dagui glared at Yang Cuilan, raised his hand and said in greeting, "Ajian, come and sit here."

Ye Dagui has lived in this mountain village all his life. His personality and temper are very different from Ye Jian's father. Although his heart is not bad, he also has the philistine and selfishness of a villain. snobbish.There were two benches at the door, he moved one of them forward and said, "Sit down, don't be so polite in your own home."

"No, I might go back to Yicheng tomorrow. I happened to pass by here, so I came to have a look." Ye Jian said with a slight smile.

"Yicheng is good. A big city is full of opportunities to make money. Have you had a good life these past few years?" Ye Dagui lit a cigarette, looked up at him and asked.

"It's barely enough to fill my stomach." Ye Jian said.Although Yang Cuilan was busy drying clothes, she kept her ears on this side, and interjected: "No matter how many opportunities to make money, it is not for everyone. Networking, ability and luck are everything. Some people are born It’s just getting rich, and some people, if they try their best to suck their milk, they’re just hopping monkeys.”

While she was talking, she shook the wet clothes in her hand like a demonstration. It wasn't until she finished that Ye Dagui yelled: "Go do your job, what are you doing here!"

"Originally, what I said was wrong!" Yang Cuilan shook her face and said aggressively, "Look at other people's homes, which one didn't come back with his wife in a small car? He would be fine, so he would bring back two policemen to show off in front of us. , isn’t this clearly trying to show you off! As for Boss Li’s matter, I’ve been ashamed in the village!”

"I tell you not to worry, don't worry, you have to take others to see the house, who is to blame, you have to blame yourself!" Ye Dagui raised his eyebrows and said, "That is the house of Ajian, even if you want to sell it, you have to sell it. I called him first to ask him! He is in Yicheng, if it is not convenient to come back, we will help you, look at what you have done now, the two families are like enemies!"

As he spoke, he looked at Ye Jian again, and said earnestly, "A Jian, don't blame your aunt, she also has good intentions, and she just wants to help you sell the house for some money, which will be saved for you to marry a wife in the future. Your parents left early, and I, as an uncle, can't help you. Your aunt is just impatient and didn't handle the matter well. I also told her a few times, let's just let this matter go, don't take it to heart gone."

Ye Jian thought that he was going to ask him to sell the house again, and even turned the words of refusal in his mind several times, but the second half of the sentence turned around, and it turned out to have a completely different meaning.Ye Jian was a little dazed, and said: "I was wrong about what happened that day, and I came here today to apologize to my aunt."

"Come on, I can't bear it!" Yang Cuilan rolled her eyes, "You have grown up and brought a big man back from the city. We rural people can't afford to mess with you. If you have the heart, let him hold his hand high and give it to our little one. The common people leave a way of life."

Ye Jian knew that she was referring to Xiao Yu, and from what she said, Xiao Yu seemed to have done something, but he never heard him mention it!Ye Dagui also said: "I won't talk too much about the past. Don't worry about that house. We will definitely take care of it for you. No one will make a fuss about it. You can come back whenever you want. There will always be No one can take your home away."

Although he didn't know what happened, it wasn't bad news for Ye Jian. He didn't ask any further questions, but said, "Then I'll trouble Uncle."

"We're all a family, so what's the matter?" Ye Dagui was smoking a cigarette, although he spoke politely, but he didn't have much smile on his face.

"Then I'll go back first, and I'll come back to see you when I have time later." Ye Jian said.Ye Dagui still sat on the stool without moving, and he didn't intend to get up to see him off, so he nodded and said, "Be careful when you're out alone, and call if you need anything."

"He's different now than before. All he knows are great people. How can he come to us for anything!" Yang Cuilan snorted with disdain on her face, "I have a straight temper, and I can say whatever is on my mind. If I offend Don’t sue people as soon as you go back, we just want to live in peace, but we can’t stand your nonsense.”

It seemed that Xiao Yu had indeed done something that made them afraid, no wonder Yang Cui hadn't seen Yang Cui gossip with the villagers these days.For them, Ye Jian always retreated whenever he could, but as Yu Yuanyuan said, his retreat would only bring him an inch of progress. What really scared them was his tougher attitude.Ye Jian smiled slightly and said, "As long as my aunt can do what I just said, of course I won't mention the past."

Yang Cuilan opened her mouth to yell at him, but Ye Dagui gave her a hard look, but she stopped talking abruptly, and turned her head into the room with the washing bucket in hand.Ye Dagui smiled stiffly and said: "Let's put it this way, be careful on your own way, and be more careful."

The big yellow dog barked, Ye Jian walked out of the yard, the big iron gate was locked behind him with a clatter, Ye Jian didn't look back, but felt a sense of relief.

That's fine, anyway, there has long been no family relationship between them.

When I came home, I accidentally saw Gu Mingwei standing on the side of the road. He was still wearing a white shirt, but it was crumpled as if he hadn’t changed it for a few days. His eyes were swollen and bloodshot, his dark circles were obvious, his face was unshaven, and he looked special. haggard.Ye Jian paused for a moment before walking towards him, Gu Mingwei watched him coming, unconsciously sighed deeply, and said, "Ah Jian, I didn't intend to hide it from you, it's just that there are some things I really don't know what to do." how to explain."

Ye Jian patted him on the shoulder heavily: "We are good brothers, what are you doing with such unreasonable things?"

"When Yuwei said she wanted to organize a public welfare event, I recommended Baliping to her. I thought that a familiar place would be safer, but I didn't expect to send her to hell." Gu Mingwei's eyes flickered Deep pain, "I was participating in the school's outreach activities on the day she had the accident. Maybe she called me, but I didn't even hear her last voice. If I didn't suggest her to go to Baliping, all this It wouldn't have happened, I killed her, it was my fault"

Ye Jian didn't know how to comfort him. It was precisely because of this regret and guilt that Gu Mingwei stayed in this place for three consecutive years. He refused to believe the fact that Qin Yuwei had been killed, but what the reality brought him was still Such a cruel result.

"It's all over. The most important thing for you now is to live a good life and see the murderer get punished with your own eyes."

"Ajian, you said that the law will sanction the murderer, but what kind of result is the sanction? Is it the death penalty? Those shootings or electric shocks that only last a moment, what is the pain that Yuwei endured before she died?" Gu Mingwei He smiled mockingly, "Perhaps in the end, he will only be sentenced to life, and then spend money to commute his sentence for a few years, and then he will be released after serving more than ten years in prison. By then, he will still be able to live well, but Yuwei What? Yuwei is already dead, tortured to death by that beast, but I can't even avenge her!"

As he spoke, Gu Mingwei couldn't help bursting into tears: "You're right, that kind of sacrifice is really not worth my whole life, I may regret it in the future if I kill him, but I regret it now if I don't kill him Yes. I see Yuwei every night, she cries and tells me that she is in pain, her whole body hurts, I reach out to hug her, but I can’t touch her, I can’t do anything for her.”

"That was a dream, your hallucination, I believe she has already gone to heaven, and she will never feel pain again." Ye Jian's words sounded so pale at this moment.Gu Mingwei laughed: "Heaven? Ajian, I remember you never said such a thing before. No one has seen what heaven is like, but I know she is always by my side, it doesn't matter, it's so true. Even if it's just a dream, I don't want to wake up."
