After this incident, Xiao Yanran was completely separated from Chen Liangshan. This was also the first time that he was afraid of the man who slept together every night and hugged each other for more than ten years.
There is no doubt that Chen Liangshan provoked some terrible person outside this time, and ended up harming Liu Xiaoyue. But his method of concealing everything at this time made Xiao Yanran feel even more scared.
The next day, Chen Liangshan and his daughter got up early in the morning. Just as they were about to go out, Xiao Yanran came out of the bedroom and stopped her: "What are you going to do?"
"Go and visit Liu Jianmin's grave, and tell him what happened recently."
Chen Liangshan responded in a low voice, and was about to walk out with his daughter, but Xiao Yanran reluctantly stopped him again, grabbed her daughter and asked: "Nanny, is this true? Are you going to something very special with your father?
It’s a scary place…”
Chen Liangshan protected the child behind him and said with anger in his eyes: "Yanran, that's enough! Don't say these things in front of the child!"
Afterwards, the father and daughter walked out the door regardless of Xiao Yanran's obstruction.
…
Outer suburbs, Mobei Cemetery.
Nannan had been silent all the way. Now she held her father's hand, lowered her head and walked toward the cemetery without saying a word.
When the father and daughter came to Liu Jianmin's tomb, they found that this simple and short tombstone had grown weeds due to no one taking care of it for many years. The gilded fonts on the inscription also gradually fell off in the wind and sun, making it look desolate.
.
The father and daughter first cleaned up the surrounding weeds and leaves, then brought a bucket of water over and wiped the front and back of the tombstone clean.
After doing all this, the two laid out the offerings, yellow paper, ghost coins, gold and silver ingots and other things they had just bought on the road.
"Nanny, do you have something to say to Xiaoyue's father?"
Chen Liangshan revealed his daughter's thoughts with one word, and her little body suddenly trembled, and then she knelt on the ground with a "thud" and kept chanting: "Uncle, I'm sorry...
I was too scared, I...I didn't mean it..."
As Nannan was talking, she burst into tears again, and Chen Liangshan also knew that since Nannan returned home yesterday, she had not said a word about her kidnapping, and had only apologized to Liu Xiaoyue, and he also felt that
Something must have happened between the two children.
Therefore, Chen Liangshan waited quietly beside him without saying a word. At this time, he did not want to put any pressure on his daughter. He just wanted to wait for her to slowly reveal and digest her grief.
Sure enough, after Nannan cried for a long time, she looked at Liu Jianmin's tombstone with her tear-filled eyes and whispered.
——"Uncle, the terrible human trafficker yesterday...after taking Xiaoyue and me away, he locked us in a dark basement."
——"It's Xiaoyue! It was Xiaoyue who comforted me not to be afraid, and then it was Xiaoyue who untied the rope from my hand in the basement..."
——"She was the one who came up with the idea! It was also she who taught me to tie my school uniform and rope together and climb out of the basement window!"
——"It was Xiaoyue who saved me...she used her body as a cushion and let me step on her head to get out of the basement, but..."
Nannan silently wiped her tears before finally speaking.
——"But...but just after I saw that human trafficker was about to break down the door and rush in, I was really scared..."
——"I was so scared at the time that my hands were trembling with fear. I...I didn't help Xiaoyue tie the rope and send her down...but left Xiaoyue behind and ran away alone..."
——"I really...really didn't mean it, but I was really too scared at the time...until I ran far away, I could almost hear Xiaoyue's cry for help."
——"Uncle...I really didn't mean it...can you tell Xiaoyue these words after you see her? If you can do it again, I will...will definitely cherish her, I will definitely
I won’t run away!”
After saying these words, Nannan burst into tears, but the guilt in her heart did not lessen at all.
Chen Liangshan was very surprised after listening to these words. He could not imagine how Liu Xiaoyue, a child who had just turned 10 years old, could burst out with such huge energy when faced with such a desperate and frightening environment. He could even
Save the girl from danger.
But no matter what, Liu Xiaoyue lost her life after saving her daughter from danger. This is an indisputable fact before us.
Chen Liangshan asked softly: "Nanny, is this why you were unwilling to tell the police no matter what happened yesterday?"
Obviously, for Nannan, Chen Liangshan is the person closest to her, and only at this time is she willing to tell her father everything she is thinking.
She lowered her head and whispered: "Dad, I... I actually left my daughter and ran away. At that time, she begged me for help, begging me not to leave, and begging me to save her, but I... I really
It can’t be done…”
"Nanny."
Chen Liangshan gently hugged his daughter and comforted: "I don't blame you for this matter. What you encountered this time is far beyond your ability. But Xiaoyue is different. She is a child who has experienced a lot of hardships.
She has abilities and mental qualities that your peers don’t have. But I hope you will..."
Chen Liangshan paused and said seriously: "Dad, I hope that in the future, if you can do it, you will never betray your friends again, okay?"
Nannan's thin little body trembled, her head lowered and she didn't know what she was thinking. Finally, she closed her eyes tightly and nodded, and responded with a small voice: "Okay... I understand."
Chen Liangshan asked his daughter to wait for him not far away, and he continued to add yellow paper to the brazier in front of him, and said slowly: "I'm sorry, brother Jianmin, this time... I messed up, and I'm here to apologize to you today.
.”
There was no breeze in the cemetery at the moment, but the flames burning on the yellow paper were jumping and jumping, and the flames almost jumped out of the low brazier, making a "cracking" sound, and it looked like
It's like Liu Jianmin's roar in another world.
Chen Liangshan threw a knife of paper money, gold ingots and other things into the brazier and explained.
——"But I know that the man named Usopp will definitely seek revenge from me. Next time...I will never screw up again."
——"Brother, I once promised you that I would take good care of Xiaoyue. In fact, that is exactly what I did, but...but the price paid for this matter is too high."
——"Granny, King of Rags, Liu Jianren and an unknown hair salon girl, these people may all be guilty, but these lives were also ruined because of this incident."
——"I don't know how many people will lose their lives in the future, but I promise you this time, even if I risk my life, I will definitely avenge Xiaoyue."
——"I want to use the blood of that man Usopp to pay homage to you, father and daughter, so please wait patiently for my news in that world."
After saying that, Chen Liangshan added another piece of paper and then, in an imperceptible manner, glanced at the two men and women who were also burning paper in front of the tombstone a few meters away from him.
The two people on the other side said nothing while burning the paper, and their eyes would peek here and there from time to time. However, Chen Liangshan discovered that there were overgrown weeds around the tombstone where the other two people were paying homage, and the long-term rain had also eroded the black tombstone.
The tombstone made of ice flower stone and even the inscription on it were covered with mud and blurred.
Looking at the unfamiliar faces of men and women, Chen Liangshan instantly knew what was going on. He took out the liquor and poured it around Liu Jianmin's tombstone. Finally, he whispered: "Brother, I seem to have been arrested by the police."
We have been targeted, and these two policemen are not from the team named Wen. It seems...the police have sent additional departments to intervene in this matter."
After pouring the last bit of liquor in front of the tombstone, Chen Liangshan whispered: "But don't worry, the man who killed Xiao Yue can't run away. Not only can he not run away, even the person behind the scenes can't run away. You guys wait for me
