Republic of China

Chapter 35 Lighting a Cigarette
The morning light of dawn fell into the courtyard.

It was as if he wanted to dispel the smell of blood in the air and bring some warmth to the world.

The front yard and mourning hall of the Li family's old house were in a mess.

The injured soldiers had been carried into a vehicle and taken to the hospital, which was the imported pickup truck that Li Dongzhi used for both official and private use.

Because the driver was so stunned that he drove his car to the river outside Fangshengou last night to wash the car. After finishing the car, he fell directly on it and fell asleep, so he didn't know what happened specifically. He saved his life.

Kang Muang stood in the courtyard and recited the rebirth mantra over and over again.

"The decree of the Supreme Being, surpassing your solitary soul, ghosts and ghosts, all four lives."

"He who has a head surpasses, he who has no head rises, he is killed with a gun, and he is diving and hanging rope."

"Death openly and secretly, injustice and injustice, the creditor's enemy, the begging son."

"Kneeling in front of my stage, gossip shines brightly, stands on the ridge, and transcends the other side."

"Being a man and a woman, you should take care of yourself. Rich and poor, you will recruit yourself."

"I am here to save everyone, I am in a hurry to be saved. I am here to save everyone, I am in a hurry to be saved."

on the steps.

Zhao Sanyuan and Li Wansong were sitting on the steps smoking cigarettes one after another. They looked very embarrassed with wounds and blood on their bodies.

In the corner of the mourning hall is Li Guyu's body.

This crazy man has completely passed away.

Although Li Wansong couldn't see it, Zhao Sanyuan saw with his own eyes that the local city god's evil deeds directly took away Li Guyu's soul and disappeared to nowhere.

"Tell me, will I go to hell if I die? A son who kills his own father must not have a happy ending."

"I've seen people trying to steal credit, but I've never seen people trying to steal this thing. In the final analysis, I killed that old guy Deng, and it has nothing to do with you."

"But without my last push, you still can't compete with Lao Kang."

"Him? I was just about to decide to kill him as well. Who knows, you got involved directly and ruined my good deeds."

"Having said that, I still thank you and Lao Kang. Without you, my second uncle, third aunt, fourth uncle, fifth aunt, and those younger brothers and sisters would have died tragically tonight. The Li family owes you."

"I hope you hate me. Only with hatred can you have the motivation to face this fucked up world. You can come to find fault with me anytime and anywhere. One of us will die when the time comes. I hold a grudge, and I will kill anyone who offends me. who."

"Do you hate it? Maybe, I kept thinking about whether it was right or wrong to do this. If my father really did it, I might live in a muddle, unaware of troubles and dangers."

"Then why didn't you help Lao Kang?"

"Here, my conscience can't get over this hurdle. I might as well shoot myself to death before killing my father."

"Oh, I'm just looking for fault on my own."

"Yes, do you think people come to this world to suffer?"

"You'd better ask Lao Kang for this big truth. Do you still have any cigarettes? Light another one for me."

The sound of dense and complex footsteps came from far to near.

A large group of young and strong workers walked into the Li family's old house chatting and laughing. They were the same farm men who were hired for the burial.

After entering the hospital, I realized something was wrong.

Lao Li's family is a well-known big family from all over the country.

Does this look like there has just been a war?
There is also a little brother with thick glasses standing in the middle of the yard, mumbling something, is he possessed?

After taking a closer look.

Good guy!
Why is there still a corpse lying next to the chicken coop?
Most of the entire neck was broken!
Hearing the noisy sound, each room in the Li family finally had the courage to open the door a small crack to see what was going on.

When I saw a large group of living people, my heart dropped by half.

Li Dongzhi first casually said hello to the working villagers, and then quickly came to Zhao Sanyuan.

"Uh, brother Sanyuan, are you done?"

After carefully considering the words and sentences, Li Dongzhi could only attribute all his doubts to the word "thing".

After all, he didn't know what happened.

There was no peace at home the whole night. According to Li Dongzhi's only experience, he thought someone was possessed by a ghost.

Zhao Sanyuan put out his cigarette butt and told the truth.

"That's about right. The old man didn't leave a body behind. You can find some clothes he wore before his death and put them in the coffin. And that old guy Li Guyu was taken over by me——"

Li Wansong immediately grabbed the words and said, "My father is dead. He was killed by the grandfather who pretended to be a corpse. The man behind the scenes was the one who was lying next to the chicken coop and was killed by the Sanyuan brothers." The speaker was intentional, but the listener was unintentional.

After learning the 'truth', Li Dongzhi was shocked and found that in the corner of the mourning hall, his eldest brother Li Guyu had already expired.

"Brother!!"

Grief swept over him, and Li Dongzhi's eyes instantly became wet, and he rushed into the mourning hall crawling.

When he found out that his eldest brother was dead, he lay on top of him and cried loudly in pain.

The other houses came over after hearing the news, and their reactions were all similar.

They never dreamed that their biological father's first child had just arrived, and the eldest son of the family had also disappeared. It was like a bolt from the blue.

Zhao Sanyuan sighed: "Why lie to them? I'm just a night watchman. I'm just going to die. I'm not afraid of revenge."

The match was lit.

Li Wansong lit a cigarette for Zhao Sanyuan, "You are kind to the Li family, and you should not be subject to unnecessary disputes. It is also for my own sake. Without my biological father, I don't want to lose any relatives. It’s selfish of me, let them be confused, it’s better for everyone.”

Who killed Li Guyu?

There can be no real conclusion.

The good and evil of human nature, right and wrong, cannot be discussed.

But the truth is like a beautiful yet fragile mirror.

Once it is broken, it will be difficult to make it happy again.

This is the most real thing in the world.

Self-centeredness and everyone's happiness only exist in myths.

Zhao Sanyuan nodded slightly, "I don't care, and I have a clear conscience. As a direct grandson of the old Li family, you can do whatever you want."

The hatred has disappeared at this point, there is no need to insist on anything anymore.

as said.

Have a clear conscience.

I don’t regret saving Li Doumiao tonight.

I don’t regret killing those bastards from Guandao either.

I don’t even regret killing Li Dongzhi’s eldest brother.

If I have any regrets, it is that when I was playing with the stupid roe deer and bared his teeth, I shouldn't have been seen by Li Dongzhi, and there was no chance that I would be dragged to the ditch to wade in the muddy water.

Mao Shi.

Lao Li's family found a coffin as quickly as possible and placed Li Guyu's body in it.

Without the eldest brother, the fourth eldest son of the Li family, Li Dongzhi, was naturally the most able to resist. He decided against all opinions to not only bury the old man today, but also let the eldest brother be laid to rest as soon as possible.

After everything is ready.

The Li family members, who were dressed in sackcloth and mourning, set off together with the vast number of young people who were buried, heading to the hills southeast of Fangshen Valley.

As for Mr. Yin Yang, the job of Mr. Yin Yang fell to Kang Muang, who knew a little about everything, without any accident.

"Does your hand hurt?"

"It's okay. I don't feel much after applying the medicine. It's just that my waist is not tight. It feels like it's not half an inch, but more than half an inch. Oh, by the way, you didn't peel off a lot when you ate last night. I rushed out to look for bean sprouts. I must have been very hungry after working so hard in the middle of the night. When I left Li's house, I took half a piece of cake. You put it on the bed first. If you want to eat this cake, you need to eat it with garlic. If you put some more on it, Spring Onion Sauce”

Kang Muang is still the same Kang Muang.

A chatty old man who talks endlessly.

Zhao Sanyuan patted his back after taking the half piece of cake.

Everything is silent.

Morning light falls.

Pull the shadows of the two people far away.

Touch sometimes.

Sometimes overlap.
