, a few leaves fell. Cheng Hanliang didn't show up directly, just stretched out his hand. The meaning is self-evident, he was waiting, and after a few seconds, he waited - Li Langyu took his hand, and he followed the opposite force and walked to the alley side.
"Why are you hiding here?" He stroked the top of the other's hair with his fingers and wiped the back of his ear. This small gesture was very familiar to Li Langyu, and instantly aroused some kind of sadness. Cheng Hanliang.
There were pedestrians passing by outside the alley. Butler Zhang drove the car forward for a distance, just blocking the alley. There was a consoling smile in the corner of Cheng Hanliang's eyes, and he said that he didn't lose much weight, which was fine.
The voice was blown a little by the wind, as if he could not stabilize his heart, Li Langyu grabbed Cheng Hanliang's hand, revealing his cowardice in a stubborn manner, and at the same time looking forward to the other party. Cheng Hanliang rubbed the back of his hand with his thumb, and said slowly: "I know all about Lanlan, I told her everything. There has been some turmoil around here recently. You have been gone soon. I sent someone to look for you and found out about you. Here, it is also worrying every day." Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something, and a little relief appeared on his originally heavy face, "You are also a weirdo, and since childhood, you have always made those who love you troublesome and laborious. ."
Li Langyu lowered his eyes, "Daily worry" made him happy, but also made him uncomfortable, Cheng Hanliang's joking rebuke made him take it seriously, and he fell into self-guilt. When he was in Qiao's house, he looked back at his relationship with Cheng Hanliang over and over again, and he did have seven points of true hatred. The self that grew up after meeting Cheng Hanliang again had the first taste of love, desire, painful entanglement, and a sincerity that was reluctant to bear. All this allowed him to be complete, to gain a new life from the shackles, and he had never even been so sure of himself - what he couldn't let go of was not the seven-point hatred, but the three-point selfishness.
Li Langyu untied a thin rope from his neck, and hanging was the birthday jade pendant that Cheng Hanliang had given him. He awkwardly put it on the other party, and carefully hid it under the clothes, as if it was hidden under the rare stars. Fireflies can be carried away by the wind if you are not careful.
Cheng Hanliang's face was touched, but his eyes darkened a little bit. This is probably the doom, which made him suffer from this sudden powerlessness in the conceit of his life. It really made him unable to leave... Butler Zhang honked the horn again, making a loud noise. The honking sounded cruel.
"Okay, Lang Yu, I have to go." He took out his hand and grabbed it again for the convenience. The hand was not enough, so he grabbed the corner of his clothes again. Li Langyu opened his lips, and his eyes were full of stubbornness. In a word, just use this look to keep him, the longer he looks at it, the more desire to see tears in his eyes, his paranoia is the root of madness.
Cheng Hanliang hugged him, kissed him lightly on the cheek, patted him on the back, said a silent goodbye, and then let go resolutely. The door was closed, and the dead leaves were rising all the way. Li Langyu was stunned for a second, then strode to chase as if he had just woken up from a dream. Tail, like a ghost who has thrown away foreign objects and abandoned his body, the whole city is darkened and left behind by him.
The black car was driving on the street, it was the only thing he could see, he chased it desperately, he had never wanted strength so much, he wanted to grow new limbs, just for fear that the man would drop him and then No chance to meet.
There were not many people on the street, the road was wide, and the car was easy to drive. Butler Zhang glanced at the rearview mirror with an embarrassed expression, and asked, "Fourth Master, look at this... Do you want to stop?"
Cheng Hanliang closed his eyes and said, continue to open.
Li Langyu ran across a long street, his lips were frozen white, and the corner of the intersection was crowded at this time, which gave him hope. However, a fruit cart suddenly came out from the right and collided with him head-on. , There was a huge pain in the ribs instantly, he instinctively bent down, and the tears he held back were finally pulled out by the pain, when he raised his head, the crowd around him blocked the front, fruit scattered all over the place, people Shihan asked him if he wanted to help, but he had lost all hope and strength.
Seeing this scene, Butler Zhang couldn't bear to say, "Look back at him."
Cheng Hanliang rolled down the car window and let the coldness invade. In the half-dark evening, he lit a cigarette, and the spark was bright and dark in the car. He didn't look back, he just asked, "Did he cry?"
…
A month later, Li Langyu got a piece of news from Qiao Guanglin: Cheng Hanliang left Peiping ten days ago and never came back, and the people who followed him disappeared for no reason.
Qiao Guanglin threw the pipe and said, this is the fox's tail exposed.
According to rumors, Cheng Zhongjian was indeed appreciated by Commander Qiao in his early years and received the grace of nobles, but now, rumors of a estrangement between the two have spread like wildfire. When Cheng Hanliang left, in Qiao Guanglin's eyes, he was like Chen Ping who kicked the master.
At the same time, Bai Jingqiu always wanted to find an opportunity to meet Xu Zhenru, and entered the house while Qiao's family was recruiting, but the two often broke up.
On the one hand, refugees came in, and on the other hand, rich people left. It is said that there are restrictions on entry and exit, and they have to accept identity registration. Li Langyu found a friend who He Huaichuan introduced to him, reluctantly. After getting a pass, if the time of necessity comes, he hopes to let Aunt Bai leave safely.
When he came back that day, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in the courtyard, it was the third aunt Tai Lianman, this woman seemed to be nothing, flirting to greet him. Li Langyu wondered, shouldn't she be at Cheng's house
Lian Man laughed at him for making a fuss, and reminded that Cheng Hanliang originally wanted her to be Commander Qiao, but now it is nothing more than returning to his "hometown".
Li Langyu suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help being startled. Does this woman know the purpose of his coming to Cheng's house? When Lian Man saw him, he realized what he looked like, and said, "Uncle Cheng, instead of frowning here, it's better to worry about Miss Cheng."
When Li Langyu heard her talk about Cheng Lan, a bad premonition flashed in her heart, and she hurriedly asked, "What happened to her?"
"Don't you know if you go and see?"
The Cheng Mansion was surrounded on the first floor, and no one except Commander Qiao's subordinates were allowed to enter or leave. There were occasional sounds of beatings and women crying, and the study, bedroom and other places were almost turned upside down. What Qiao Guanglin meant was that if the monk could run away, he couldn't run away from the temple, although Cheng Hanliang couldn't find anyone, but Cheng Lan was still here, so he was not afraid that he would not come back.
As soon as Li Langyu got the news, he went directly to the living room to find Qiao Guanglin, and asked him where Cheng Lan was and why he wanted to embarrass her with this.
Qiao Guanglin was scolded by him to cover his face, but he didn't lose his temper. Instead, he had someone bring him a cup of tea, calmly saying that Cheng Lan was fine, and didn't do anything to her. Then he specifically issued an order to search and search, don't embarrass Miss Cheng.
Qiao Guanglin turned around to look at his angry face, stared at him for a long time, and said gently, "I just said that you felt familiar at first sight. It turns out that you are Zhilan's son."
Li Langyu was surprised when he heard his mother's name, "You know her?"
Qiao Guanglin took out an old photo from his pocket and handed it to Li Langyu. It was what Shen Zhilan looked like when he was young.
"Your grandfather's Shen family is a big family in Peiping. When I was poor and poor, I worked as a temporary worker in the Shen family. It was your mother who helped me."
Li Langyu didn't expect this connection, and was surprised, but suddenly thought of the disaster ten years ago, and felt wrong: "You keep saying that you are grateful to my mother, then when my family was wronged, you didn't investigate it, and you just carelessly It's done, how do you explain it!"
Qiao Guanglin patted him on the shoulder and said regretfully, "I was going to tell you about this today." He asked someone to bring an old man with a hunched back and half-bald hair. The old man seemed to be tortured, and fell to his knees with a plop.
Qiao Guanglin motioned for him to speak, and the old man tremblingly told the reason - he used to be a servant of Feng Shangyuan's family. Ten years ago, Fu Pinghui came to Peiping and made a name for himself in the garden. When he fell down, he communicated with Fu Pinghui on the grounds of exchange and study. He lived in Fu's house for a period of time. It was probably Cheng Hanliang, whom he knew at that time. Later, when Peiping strictly checked opium, Feng Shangyuan hid stolen goods and letters in Fu's house. Protecting each other, on the night of the execution, only Cheng Hanliang turned in the evidence, which allowed Commander Qiao to keep him alive.
The old things were shaken out, and even though Li Langyu had guessed seven, seven, eight, eight, he still felt a bang, and his expression was dull. It used to be an assumption, but now he got solid testimonies from bystanders, which obviously matched, but he hoped that the assumption was wrong.
"Then do you know why Cheng Hanliang suddenly betrayed my father?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, raised his eyelids slightly to look at Qiao Guanglin, Qiao Guanglin pulled Li Langyu to his side in time and said, "It's true that I can't investigate this matter clearly, and you have been wronged for so many years, and I'm sorry for your mother, who All the stolen goods were captured, the news was widely spread, and the people’s voices were loud and clear, saying that they 'defrauded the people of the country' and 'traitors' and so on.
"So what are you going to do?" Li Langyu looked at him coldly.
Qiao Guanglin patted him on the shoulder and said, "I will let Feng Shangyuan admit the crime of the year, but his words alone are not enough, and Cheng Hanliang's side, isn't that what you married Cheng Lan for? You want the truth to be revealed. , I will help you to vindicate the Fu family, but I also need you to do things for me."
"What's up?"
"I heard Lian Man say that Cheng Hanliang treats you very well."
Li Langyu was silent
