did not meet tonight

There is no sadness in Gu Mingwei's expression, his eyes are so calm, like a lake without waves, long-suppressed remorse is the mud that sinks in the bottom of his heart, when it is stirred, the turbidity has replaced the clarity, And never go back to the past.Ye Jian would rather him be angry than cry bitterly, because real despair is not hysteria.

"It will pass, it will pass, you still have a long way to go in the future, and time will dilute everything." Even the comforting words sounded so pale at this moment, but Ye Jian no longer knew what else to say.

Gu Mingwei took a deep breath, smiled at him and said, "I'm fine, don't worry about me, I will send Yuwei's ashes back to Hanchang with her parents in two days, we met there , at least I want to accompany her through the last part of the journey."

"Will we have a chance to meet again in the future?" Ye Jian asked.

"Who knows what will happen in the future, I'm standing here talking to you now, but maybe I'll die tomorrow." Mingming was saying such negative words, but Gu Mingwei was still laughing, laughing so hollowly.

"But at least at this moment we can still look forward to the future, as long as we live, we will meet lucky things one day." Ye Jian held his arm, "Ming Wei, I know you feel uncomfortable, but you must live well, Not only for yourself, but also for your parents, and for Qin Yuwei, you have to live on her behalf and do what she hasn't done."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid." Gu Mingwei patted him, "It's all thanks to you and Officer Xiao that I was able to find Yuwei. I came here this time to say thank you."

"Thank you for accepting it for him, so don't take it to heart." Ye Jian said straightforwardly.

"I heard that Officer Xiao came here for Huaxi, but I actually know Huaxi." Gu Mingwei glanced at him and said.

"You know him?" Ye Jian was taken aback.

"We live on the same street. The Zheng family and my family are old acquaintances. I often saw Huaxi when I was a child. Every time I played with the children on the street, he would watch from afar and never come over. Gu Mingwei said, "He is very beautiful. At first we all thought he was a girl. We dragged him to play house and let him act as a bride. Children are ignorant, just for fun, but this matter It made Zheng Anmin very angry and called him a shameless sissy."

"I was only nine years old at that time, and Huaxi looked even thinner than me. Zheng Anmin slapped him in front of us, scaring us children to tears." Thinking of this incident, Gu Mingwei Still couldn't help sighing, "I told my dad about this when I got home, and it was only from my dad that I found out that Huaxi was an orphan. His parents died in an accident, and Li Lan was his only aunt, so he adopted him. But Zheng Anmin doesn't like him and has always been mean to him."

"How did his parents die?" Ye Jian had roughly heard Xiao Yu mention this matter before, but he didn't know the details.

"It seems to be a car accident. In order to obtain his family's property, Li Lan applied to the court to be Huaxi's guardian." Gu Mingwei glanced at Ye Jian. Hurt.Ye Jian didn't expect this to be too much, he frowned and said, "It seems that Zheng Anmin's family didn't treat him well."

"Since that incident, he has never appeared in front of us again. I went to the same elementary school as him. Sometimes when I want to play with him after class, he will stay far away." Gu Mingwei said, "I I saw him with injuries several times, but I didn’t know what was going on at that age, thinking about it now, I’m afraid Zheng Anmin has been abusing him.”

"So he left the Zheng family later?" Ye Jian asked.

"After he finished junior high school, the Zheng family didn't want to pay any more money. I heard from my dad that they still wanted to send him to work in a brick factory. Maybe that's why he ran away." Gu Mingwei said with emotion, "His grades are very good. Although he doesn't like to talk, he is very polite to people and sings very well. I still remember the amazing feeling when he participated in the school's art performance."

"Then did he come back after he left?" Ye Jian unconsciously thought of the two completely different contrasts between Huaxi's gentleness and madness, and it was precisely because of that past that he became paranoid in his character.

Gu Mingwei thought for a while and said: "Probably not. When I was in high school, I went home one year during the winter vacation. I saw Zheng Anmin and complained to my dad that I had raised a white-eyed wolf. I haven't heard anything about it for a few years. But in Yuwei In the photos I took, I saw a person who was very similar to him."

Ye Jian was startled: "When did it happen?"

"It should be more than four years ago. When Yuwei was in school, she often participated in various activities. Sometimes she would host the location or collect stories. At that time, they were going to write a report on welfare institutions, and they went to a company called Happy Home. The orphanage took a group of promotional photos, in which there is a person who looks very similar to Huaxi, but I haven’t seen him for several years, so I’m not sure if it’s him.” Gu Mingwei said.

"Can you give these photos to me?" Ye Jian blurted out, then realized that his words were too abrupt, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, these photos should be very important to you, just pretend I didn't say it, don't let it go In my heart."

Gu Mingwei smiled and said, "It's okay, I have an electronic version, and I'll pack it up and send it to you later. If these photos can help, it's my repayment of your kindness."

"Don't always talk about such foreign words, aren't we friends." Ye Jian said with a face.

"You are right, maybe we will meet again in the future." Gu Mingwei said with a sigh.

"It will be fine, everything will be fine." Ye Jian pressed his shoulder and said.

"Actually, good or bad is not important to me now, it's my fault, I will remember it for the rest of my life, if Yuwei is willing to stay in my dream, then let us be like this forever." Gu Ming Wei smiled slightly, but couldn't tell whether it was sadness or happiness on his face.

"Ming Wei..." Ye Jian looked hesitant, he always felt that things should not be like this, with this shackles, how could Gu Mingwei still have his own life in the future?But he couldn't say a word of comfort anymore, because to Gu Mingwei, even if it was an illusion, a dream of despair and darkness, he would rather stay in it.

"Don't worry about me, I'm fine." Gu Mingwei patted him and said, "I'll go back first, you take good care of yourself from now on."

Seeing the back of him turning away, Ye Jian's heart skipped a beat, and he called out, "Ming Wei!"

Gu Mingwei stopped, he didn't look back, only the voice came quietly: "A Jian, I don't want to deceive you, if time can be turned back, I will definitely kill that beast with my own hands, but I can't forgive me even more Myself, just let me go on like this, I am willing."

It was already dusk, and there was only half of the setting sun left in the sky. The evening light dyed the clouds red like flames. Gu Mingwei went away in the cool breeze, and Ye Jian stared blankly, unconsciously blurring his vision.He didn't know why he was so sad, his heart felt like a boulder was crushed, and he could hardly breathe.Xiao Yu walked out of the house, Ye Jian heard footsteps behind him, and turned his head slowly.

"Some people are obviously not worthy of living in this world, but the law allows them to offset crimes by serving sentences. Sometimes I really don't understand whether the system is used to punish the wicked or to protect the wicked."

Ye Jian murmured, he is not Gu Mingwei, and he has never seen Qin Yuwei, but he still remembers the sunny smiling face in the photo, he thought, Gu Mingwei who was standing opposite her taking pictures must also be smiling Happy, yet sinful brings it all to a screeching halt.He told Gu Mingwei that everything will pass and everything will get better, but he knows that nothing will pass and nothing will get better. She is dead, and death is the end. It is the most powerless and impossible to reverse the result of.

She is dead, and when she dies, there will be nothing left. Nowhere in this world will she be seen again. Her family, her friends, everyone who once loved her deeply, maybe one day, will be slowed down. Slowly forget her.

Because she died.

But Ye Jian knew that Gu Mingwei couldn't, he put the shackles around his neck with his own hands, and wrapped them around the dead buttons that couldn't be undone.

Whether Qin Yuwei is really there, no one knows, maybe even Gu Mingwei doesn't know, but he is willing to stay in this dream, even if it is black, even if it is hopeless.

Ye Jian raised his head, he didn't want his tears to flow down, Xiao Yu understood how he felt at the moment, his deep eyes were calm and gentle in the setting sun, he put his hands around Ye Jian's shoulders, and pulled him into his arms.Ye Jian buried her head on his shoulder, and after a long time, she slowly raised her head and hugged him. They embraced each other under the fiery red sunset, and the distance was gradually engulfed by the twilight.

Is it over, no, some things, never end.

The next day, Ye Jian packed up his things and left with Xiao Yu and the others. The car drove out of Baliping Village. He looked at the village hidden under the green hills and trees through the rearview mirror, and sighed deeply.Gao Zhishang thought he was reluctant, and comforted him: "It's okay, this place is not far from Yicheng, and I can come back anytime when I have time."

"Will you guys be able to do business when you go back like this?" Ye Jian was a little worried, after all, they came here to investigate Huaxi's affairs.

"Anyway, it's still a little rewarding. I'll see it after Gu Mingwei sends the photos." Gao Zhishang said while driving.He sighed and said again: "Actually, I am quite worried about Zhu Wenhao. The child has been so stimulated, and I don't know if he will be able to speak in the future. I hope that the local welfare organization will do what it says and visit him regularly. .”

Relying on other people's help can only tide over the difficulties for a while. Only when Zhu Qingping pulls himself together can he really change Zhu Wenhao. However, this is no longer something he can decide.Ye Jian looked out the window, Baliping was left far behind, only a few faint roofs remained, he didn't know when he would come back next time, but at least he had accomplished what he wanted to do most all the time.

He caressed the urn in his arms, Xiao Yu fixed his eyes on him through the rearview mirror, the sound of the engine of the car was heard on the empty mountain road, behind him, the rising morning sun cast golden light, covering the entire mountain Forest.

There was a wind blowing slowly, the branches and leaves swayed lightly, whining and rustling, as if crying from the depths of the mountain forest.
