Xu Zuming sat silently, his body barely moving.
After a long time, he murmured again, "Zhaodi was very obedient and obedient when she was young. No matter what I said, she would never disobey me. But since she went to university and met Zhao Jiahang, she gradually changed. —”
Xiang Wan didn't speak.
Can't speak, can't communicate.
She thought that the old man should only need one listener.
Sure enough, he didn't care whether Xiang Wan listened or not, he just told her on his own.
"But what can I do? She is my only daughter! If she wants to marry, she can marry, as long as she is healthy. But don't worry about this child, even if she is disabled by this marriage, she will still die. She loved that man alive, refused to listen to her old father, protected Zhao Jiahang, and refused to go home to see me for three years... "
Xu Zuming lowered his head.
The sound seemed to come from the cool wind on the ground.
"... In the end, I didn't even know when she died. I went through a lot of formalities until today, before I got her ashes back from Ganzhou..."
"It's useless. She can't see it when she takes it back."
"The man she loved until death killed her. The father she hated to the core brought her back and buried her. She will never know about it."
Xiang Wan was silent.
In the 720 case, Zhao Jiahang buried Xu Zhaodi's ashes in Erniu's hometown under the identity of Erniu. The Xu family, who had been concealing the truth, only found out when the case came to an end.
Xiang Wan had never been a mother.
But she can probably understand how painful it is for Mr. Xu to be a father.
Xu Zuming's eyes were old and cloudy, he sat there motionless, his stooped back was even higher, and his appearance was even more lonely.
"Those who harmed her will be punished. I'm old and I can't control it. But you—"
He raised his head suddenly, his eyes gouged out on Xiang Wan's face like a sharp knife.
"Little girl, what kind of punishment do you think you should receive?"
Xiang Wan's face was hot!
Pain, being stared at by him.
The old man's eyes were too sharp.
Xiang Wan took a deep breath, "Mr., I just wrote a book and didn't do anything..."
Xu Zuming snorted, "You wrote a book as Zhao Jiahang."
Well, he knew it too.
It seems that her book is really famous.
Even Xu Zuming, a well-known big entrepreneur, knows it.
Xiang Wan didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Facing an old man who lost his only child, he could only calm down as much as possible, "Old man, I didn't expect such a thing to happen. Actually, you know it, it's not a coincidence, it's Man-made, people want to imitate, what can I do? I am a victim just like you... "
Xu Zuming didn't speak.
He just sat there, staring blankly at the room.
Xiang Wan didn't know what he was thinking, let alone whether he was persuaded by him.
The air was inexplicably low pressure.
Pounding! Xiang Wan's heart was about to jump out of his chest.
Xu Zuming sighed suddenly, and stood up with effort on his knees.
"Little girl, come with me!"
The old man didn't look like a real criminal.
Xiang Wan was a little nervous, but had no choice but to go out with him.
At the door, two door gods lowered their heads and asked, "Uncle Ming, it's dark outside, where are you going?"
Xu Zuming waved his hand, "Take this girl for a walk."
His tone was amiable, with only the sadness of an ordinary old man who had lost his only child on his face. He didn't look like an enemy to Xiang Wan, but he seemed to be leading a neighbor's little girl to visit his back garden.
If Xiang Wan had been invited instead of being kidnapped, she would not have thought that the old man was hostile to her.
The courtyard is very quiet.
Instead of a concrete floor, the wet mud floor has been rolled out with deep grooves.
Whose home is this? Xiang Wan was suspicious.
Why shouldn't the Xu family have such a house with their financial resources
With doubts, she followed behind Xu Zuming.
Someone opened the way ahead with a flashlight, and two men followed behind.
The old man walked cautiously. Seeing his unsteady footsteps, Xiang Wan took a deep breath.
do not care!
Even misfortune can't be avoided.
She let go of her tense emotions, only to find that there was a faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus in the air.
On a sultry night in summer, in a small rural courtyard, the surroundings are dark and cool, and the fragrance is particularly abrupt.
"It smells so good." She sniffed.
"Is it fragrant? It's my golden osmanthus."
It was only then that Xiang Wan realized that the huge black tree in the yard was an osmanthus flower.
Xu Zuming turned around suddenly, "Do you like it?"
His suddenly bright eyes, illuminated by the flashlight, glowed abnormally blue, which startled Xiang Wan...
How could she be in the mood at this moment
Xiang Wan forced a smile, "I really like it."
Xu Zuming pointed to the outside of the courtyard, "There are still many over there."
Xiang Wan: "..."
Was she brought by the kidnappers to visit the sweet-scented osmanthus tree
…
One after the other.
Like people looking for sweet-scented osmanthus at night, they followed the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus out of the yard and into the sweet-scented osmanthus forest by the light of a flashlight.
As his eyes adapted to the darkness, Xiang Wan's vision gradually improved.
The surrounding ring mirror and the mountain-shaped outline can be vaguely distinguished.
The house is in a col.
Except for the flat land near the residence, it seems that there are mountains on all sides...
The wind is very strong, and there are a few mountain birds calling occasionally, and the cold silk is a bit creepy.
Xiang Wan folded his arms, and Xu Zuming in front of him suddenly stopped.
"Jingui, are you okay? Are you okay?"
In the night wind, the old man's voice seemed to be whimpering, accompanied by the mountain wind, like ghosts crying and wolves howling.
Xiang Wan's heart skipped a beat.
Is this old man crazy? Talk to osmanthus
It's scary.
She moved a little further away, ready to run away if the situation was not right. Xu Zuming sighed suddenly, took a few steps forward, and suddenly squatted down on the edge of a mound under a osmanthus tree, sobbing softly.
"Jingui, I'm sorry, it's been so long since I came back to see you, are you mad at me..."
what!
Xiang Wan was speechless.
The mound is covered with weeds, standing alone in the cinnamon.
Under the dark light, there seems to be a dilapidated "grave float" on the mound, swinging in the wind—
Could it be - that is not a mound, but a grave
The countryside, the lonely grave, the whimpering of old men and the singing of birds at night—
Xiangwan's goosebumps came out.
Fortunately, there were people nearby, otherwise she would have been frightened to death standing alone in this pit.
I don't know how long Xu Zuming talked alone.
Xiang Wan's legs were about to stiffen, he stood up suddenly, his body swayed, and two men hurried forward to help him.
He pushed them away and fixed his eyes on Xiang Wan.
"Tomorrow, I will bury my daughter here too, to be with her mother—in this way, the three of them, mother and child, can be reunited under the Nine Springs. That's fine, that's fine! Down below, the three of them can be counted. Take care."
Mother and child three
Xiang Wan froze, pursed her lips and remained silent.
She didn't dare to ask whether Xu Zuming was confused or had other secrets.
In terms of emotion and reason, she is not suitable for asking, but only for thinking - how to get out.
"Girl." Xu Zuming took a sip of cinnamon and waved to her.
Xiang Wan bit the bullet and approached.
He said in a long and slow voice, "I—suddenly changed my mind."
Ok? Xiang Wan's eyes lit up, "Mr.? You mean?"
Xu Zuming looked at her, "I will send Zhaodi away with me tomorrow morning. You can burn incense on her grave and make an apology, and I will send you back..."
I go!
Xiang Wan didn't know whether it was excitement or excitement, his blood rushed to his brain.
I thought I would suffer if I was kidnapped, but I passed the level so easily
It didn't follow the script at all, this is it!
Xiang Wan controlled her frenzied heartbeat and thanked her sincerely, "Okay. Then... thank you, old man. You are such a good man!"
Xu Zuming didn't answer her.
Just like he brought her here out of nowhere, he gave her an inexplicable smile.
