After feasting and drinking at the Shenlong Special Forces Station, Phoenix drove Lin Yi home as usual.
At this time, the night had just fallen, the lights were starting to turn on, and the traffic flow weaved into colorful ribbons to decorate this ancient and prosperous city. Fenghuang complained while driving: "Lin Yi, you should take the time to take the driver's license test."
Come on, I’ll pick you up and drop you off every day, it won’t be a problem if this continues!”
"Isn't this great? It's so boring to drive alone!" Lin Yi obviously didn't take Fenghuang's words to heart, and suddenly pointed out the car window and shouted: "Please stop the car!"
"what?"
"Just stop when I tell you to stop. Why are you asking so many questions?" Lin Yi finally directed Fenghuang to park the car in front of a flower shop.
"Wait for me for five minutes!" Lin Yi hurriedly confessed, then got off the car and ran into the flower shop. Although his trip to the southwest was in a hurry and he couldn't help himself, he still didn't even say hello to Xia Xia.
It's really unreasonable that Zi Yuan left after just calling her, and I wonder if Na Nizi is in a better mood during this time?
Therefore, Lin Yi decided to buy a bunch of lilies to coax Xia Ziwan. Didn't this trick work quite well last time?
When Fenghuang saw Lin Yi walking towards her with a bouquet of white lilies, she suddenly felt a little nervous, and even her breathing became a little short, but she quickly calmed herself down and calmed down.
De felt a little disappointed. She knew that this bunch of lilies was bought by Lin Yi for Xia Ziyuan and had nothing to do with her!
However, she is also a woman, and she also wants to receive flowers from her admirers, but since the day she stepped into the Shenlong Special Forces, all this has become a luxury.
"Ha...it's quite thoughtful!" Even though Phoenix already knew the answer in his heart, he still asked sourly, "Who are you buying such a big bunch of lilies for?"
"It's not for you anyway!" Lin Yi replied directly. Just when Fenghuang was choked by his words and couldn't speak, and could only raise his fist to show his actions, he quickly took it out from behind his back.
He picked up a small pot of cactus that had been hidden behind his back just now, "Don't hit me, this is for you!"
Fenghuang really stopped, and after being stunned for a long time, he slowly took the pot of cactus from Lin Yi, held it in front of his eyes for a while, pouted and asked: "Why did you give Xia Ziwan a delicate lily?
Mine is a prickly prickly pear?"
"Because you are two girls with different personalities. She is like a lily, pure and elegant, and you are more like a cactus, strong and tenacious!" Lin Yi said seriously, "Don't underestimate this cactus.
Under normal circumstances, it does not bloom, but this does not mean that it will not bloom. The flowers that bloom after experiencing drought and heat are particularly precious!"
After listening to Lin Yi's explanation, Fenghuang still felt uneasy. Which girl would want her to be just a pot of cactus in other people's hearts? But considering this is the first time she has received flowers from others since she was a child.
Son, she didn't bother to argue with Lin Yi, she carefully placed the pot of cactus on the center console and started the car.
…
Xia Ziyuan should be at home at this time. Lin Yi excitedly went upstairs holding the bouquet of lilies, but no one answered the door after knocking for a long time. It seemed that the girl had not come back yet, so he had to take out the key himself.
After opening the door, when he pushed the door in and turned on the light in the living room, his whole body instantly turned to stone.
The whole living room was messy and messy, with obvious signs of a fight. Judging from the extent of damage at the scene, it should have been an extremely fierce fight. There were faint traces of dried blood on the ground, which reminded me of the last summer.
Aster was also attacked at home, and Lin Yi suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Aster! Aster!"
Lin Yi anxiously called Xia Ziwan's name and searched every room, but still couldn't find Xia Ziwan. This actually made Lin Yi feel relieved. No one knew how scared he was just now.
Xia Ziwan's cold body was found in a certain room. This result at least proves that Xia Ziwan may still be alive!
After sitting on the ground and smoking a cigarette dully, Lin Yi took out his mobile phone and was about to call Xia Songren to ask about the situation, but suddenly there was a doorbell at the door. He stood up cautiously and deliberately looked out of the peephole.
Wang, the person who came was an elder from the Shenzhen Sect, whom he had met when he went to Nanzhu Forest.
Lin Yi quickly opened the door and asked anxiously: "Where did Aster go?"
The elder looked at the messy living room, but did not answer Lin Yi's question. Instead, he sighed: "Lin Yi, since you have been with people from the military department before, it is not convenient for us to meet. Master Xia asked me to come
Tell you, after I let you go home, go to Nanzhu Forest immediately!"
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away!" Lin Yi nodded frequently and asked, "Is Ziyuan also in the Nanzhu Forest?"
The elder was silent for a long time, then nodded solemnly: "Miss, she... is here!"
Finally learning the whereabouts of Xia Ziwan, Lin Yi finally breathed a long sigh of relief. Although judging from the situation at the scene and the elder's tone, Xia Ziwan's current condition may not be very good, and she may even have suffered a serious illness.
Seriously injured, but all this is great news for Lin Yi. At least he now knows where Xia Ziwan is!
The two of them rushed to Nanzhu Forest. Lin Yi finally saw Xia Songren in the bamboo hall. There were several elders sitting in the hall. Even Huo Qilin, who rarely showed up, was also present. Lin Yi couldn't care less about being polite at the moment.
He was so polite that he didn't even say hello to anyone else, but directly asked Xia Songren: "Master Xia, where is Zi Wan?"
Xia Songren did not answer Lin Yi's question immediately. Instead, he waved his hand to the outside of the room and signaled everyone to retreat. Lin Yi and Xia Songren were the only two people left in the entire bamboo hall.
"Aster, where is she?" Lin Yi asked again.
Xia Songren was stunned, with his back to Lin Yi, he raised his hand and pointed to an altar table in front of the hall: "She is here!"
Lin Yi followed Xia Songren's direction and saw a black tablet placed there, which was shockingly engraved with "The spiritual tablet of Xia Ziwan, a disciple of the Divine Needle Sect!" Lin Yi took two steps back in confusion and stared.
He shook his head frequently with his eyes rounded: "No... no, that's not her! It's not her!"
"That's her!" Xia Songren suddenly raised his voice, dragged Lin Yi to Xia Ziyuan's memorial tablet, and said with tears: "Lin Yi, I don't want to accept this result, but it is the fact, Ziyuan is dead.
, she has left us forever and will not come back again!"
"You can't lie to me!" Lin Yi broke away from Xia Songren's pull and laughed like a lunatic: "You must be kidding me. How could Zi Wan die suddenly? You must have deliberately
She is hiding and wants to make me anxious, right?"
Lin Yi smiled and cried: "Master Xia, can you please stop making such a joke with me? It's not funny at all... It's not funny at all..."
Xia Songren was speechless. He knew that it was useless to talk to Lin Yi now. The best way was to let him be alone. So he walked out of the bamboo hall and closed the door, leaving Lin Yi alone.
Inside the Bamboo Hall, of course, there is Xia Ziyuan’s memorial tablet.
Lin Yi didn't know until this moment that when a person is sad to a certain level, he won't even have the energy to smoke. Even though cigarettes are the most appropriate companion for a man when he is sad, he just looked at the carving in a daze like that.
The spiritual tablet with Xia Ziyuan's name on it is talking to herself.
"You always scold me for not knowing how to say hello to you wherever I go, but this time you go to such a far place, why don't you know how to say hello to me?"
"The Dragon King will soon train me with his own hands. I will be beaten all over my body every day. Who will apply medicine to me after you leave? Yes, I can wipe my chest and limbs by myself, but I can't wipe my back.
Come on...I really can’t wipe it!”
"Didn't you say you would still wear the T-shirt and jeans I bought you and go to the roadside food stall with me to eat skewers and drink beer? Have you forgotten?"
"..."
Throughout the night, Lin Yi "communicated" with Xia Ziwan like this. He didn't think that he was talking to himself. He believed that Xia Ziwan could hear what he said. He seemed to also see Xia Ziwan wearing the white dress.
The shirt sat in front of him, and then he shook his head and said it didn't look good, so Xia Ziyuan put on the white T-shirt and light blue jeans again and sat in front of him.
The morning light gradually penetrates into the house through the bamboo fence window. From time to time, a cock crows in the distance, and the sun rises with new life!
Xia Songren pushed the door open and walked in. He patted Lin Yi's shoulder from the back and was about to say a few words of comfort. He never thought that Lin Yi had already put away the sadness on his face and looked at him calmly and asked: "Aster..."
Where is it buried?”
"Back Mountain!"
Under Xia Songren's guidance, Lin Yi went to Xia Ziyuan's grave and laid incense. There was no sadness or crying. Everything seemed so peaceful. Perhaps he had finished what he wanted to say all night long. At this moment
In front of Xia Ziwan's grave, he didn't say a word. He just patted the loose soil on Xia Ziwan's grave with his hands and asked casually, "Who did it?"
"Gen Inoue!" Xia Songren didn't hide anything, "If your guess is correct, he is the person who attacked Zi Wan at home last time!"
"Japanese people?" Lin Yi frowned, murderous intent suddenly appearing in his eyes.
"Yes, they are Japanese!" Xia Songren continued, "Actually, there are two murderers, a pair of brothers. The elder brother is named Inoue Yuan, and the younger brother may be familiar to you, named Inoue Shun!"
"Shun Inoue?"
Lin Yi's eyes were split open in an instant, his fists clenched loudly, and his nails dug deeply into his flesh without even realizing it. He just felt the hatred in his chest exploded like a flood, drowning everything in an instant.
Including his reason and thoughts, there is only one picture in his mind now, and that is a bloody word "kill"!
