Return To 1998

Almost two hours later.

Bai Lanlan, who was carrying a bag in her hand, was carrying a pack of blankets. After several inquiries, she found Xu Tongdao's yard in the county seat.

From a distance, she could hear the mournful music playing and singing in the yard.

At the gate of the courtyard, she hesitated for a while before finally summoning up the courage to walk into the courtyard.

There are many people in the yard.

There are guests sitting at the table drinking tea and chatting, and there are also women who are going in and out of the kitchen next to them, busy preparing dinner for everyone.

There are also seven or eight children of different sizes, chasing and fighting in the yard.

Someone recognized Bai Lanlan and looked at her with surprise.

But more people didn't notice her entering the courtyard at all.

Because there are too many people like her carrying space quilts or blankets to express their condolences in these two days.

And she, Bai Lanlan, doesn't belong to the kind of beautiful woman who can be stunning at first sight.

It's not surprising that people don't pay attention to her.

In this way, she came to the reception place smoothly, handed over the blanket in her hand, and said to the village chief Xu Hengchun who was making the record: I'll go ahead and put on the incense stick.

After she finished speaking, she walked towards the door of the main room.

Xu Hengchun recognized her, hesitating to speak, he wanted to stop her, but he was a little hesitant. When he tried to stop her again, Bai Lanlan had already stepped through the door of the main room and walked into the mourning hall.

Xu Hengchun sighed softly: Forget it! They are relatives after all...

Cousins ​​are already very close relatives.

And Bai Lanlan... After all, she is Xu Tongdao, Xu Tonglu and their cousins, so it's no wonder that Xu Hengchun hesitated when he saw Bai Lanlan.

in the mourning hall.

The mournful music continued, the Taoist priest was still singing, and Xu Tongdao, who was dressed in burlap and filial piety, knelt in front of the spiritual seat and lowered his head slightly. It was still a long time.

According to local customs, after the death of an elderly person in the family, a funeral should be held for at least three days.

During these three days, when guests come to offer incense, the children who wear burlap and filial piety will return the gift.

When no guests come to offer incense, there must be at least one child, kneeling in front of the spiritual seat and guarding the spirit.

He's on the watch now.

There was a sound of footsteps beside him, and Xu Tongdao seemed to have not heard it.

He didn't turn his face until he heard the owner of the footsteps next to him and said, Give me a stick of incense!

Brandon?

She even came?

Tongdao Xu was surprised, but he didn't hesitate. The moment he saw her, he put his hands on the ground, stood up, and stretched out his hand to block Bai Lanlan. He was not allowed to hand the incense to her hands.

You're not welcome here! Please get out!

Tongdao Xu said to her with a cold face, and gestured for the door.

Bai Lanlan frowned slightly, and couldn't help but retort: ​​Your father is my second uncle. He has passed away now. Can I even put incense sticks on him? Xiaodao! Don't go too far!

Tongdao Xu looked at her coldly, You are wrong! My father is not dead now, he died five years ago, your mother is an accomplice even if not the murderer, you are coming to my father for incense now? Do you think you have Is this qualification? I advise you to go out by yourself, don't force me to let you go, otherwise, you and I will not look good! Go!

Bai Lanlan frowned even more.

However, she swept her eyes to the left and right, and saw that many people were watching the excitement.

She held back the words that came to her lips and said instead: Okay! I can leave now, but I want to tell you, will you come out with me?

Xu Tongdao's expression remained unmoved, What else do we have to say? Borrow money? I have already rejected your man, Mi Li! If you want to ask me about borrowing money in person, I advise you to avoid opening your mouth! Because it's impossible!

Bai Lanlan heard this and gritted her teeth secretly.

His face became very ugly.

Two seconds later, she suddenly said, No! I didn't want to borrow money from you. I just hope that for my dad's sake, you can give my mom a way out, okay?

Tongdao Xu looked at her coldly.

Look at her face that is somewhat similar to their brothers.

Just based on her face, outsiders can guess that they are related by blood.

but……

Tongdao Xu suddenly stepped forward and approached Bai Lanlan. Because of the height difference, he looked down at Bai Lanlan and sneered, Your surname should also be Xu! Your body is also the blood of our Xu family. That's why, for my uncle's sake, I can't take anger on you, Mi Li, and your daughter, but you want me to let go of your mother, Bai Meifeng?

Brandon! Are you dreaming?

Don't you understand the truth that the revenge of killing your father is not shared? Do you know what it means to be inseparable? If you don't understand, then I will tell you now!

If you don't share the sky, you just can't live under the same sky! Either I die or she dies! There is no third possibility!

Maybe it's because of the four words I can't share the sky, it's too scary, or it may be because Tongdao Xu's momentum is too compelling at this time, in short, Bai Lanlan was so frightened that her face turned pale, and subconsciously took two steps back before she regained her footing. shape.

Even the funeral band who had been playing and singing, and the chanting Taoist priests stopped subconsciously.

There are more people watching the fun outside the door.

Bai Lanlan turned pale and looked at the faces of the people who were watching the excitement around her, pursed her lips and looked at Tongdao Xu again.

I couldn't help but say, Is it so serious? What if the murderer wasn't my mother? Are you going to be inseparable?

Tongdao Xu was silent for a few seconds, then turned sideways and turned to look at his father Xu Weixi's spiritual seat and the black and white portrait behind the spiritual seat.

Squinting for a few seconds, he didn't look back at Bai Lanlan, he just said, Unless she has nothing to do with my dad's death, she should be punished according to whatever punishment, if the murderer is her...

After a pause, Then kill for life!

As soon as these words came out, there was silence all around.

Because everyone can see that Xu Tongdao was serious when he just said this.

The seriousness of ordinary people may not be taken seriously by anyone.

But Xu Tongdao's current net worth, many people have heard about it.

A young man with a net worth of at least tens of millions who speaks ruthlessly seriously... Who would dare to assume that he was just speaking ruthlessly?

Bai Lanlan didn't dare either.

At this time, she looked miserable.

Hands and feet started to get cold.

She was suddenly frightened and thanked that she was fortunately not in a hurry to agree to the transaction between the sisters Bai Xiaohong and Bai Yuehong.

If she had agreed directly at the time, and had not come here to find out about Xu Tongdao's attitude, and had directly asked her mother, Bai Meifeng, to confess the crime of murder, then... the consequences would have been unimaginable.

She is Xu Tongdao's cousin after all.

What kind of character Xu Tongdao is like, she has seen him grow up, and naturally she has long understood.

- This guy can be ruthless since he was a child.

Once ruthless, this kid is actually more stubborn than his younger brother Xu Tonglu.

She didn't say anything, turned her head down, and left in a hurry.

...

at the same time.

The sisters Bai Xiaohong and Bai Yuehong came to the hospital again and came to the door of their father, Bai Jingen's ward.

But this time, the sisters were stopped by two police officers guarding the door.

Moreover, this time, no matter how nice they talked to them, they were not allowed to enter the ward to visit Shirogane.

Do you still want to go in? Do you know that our captain has already warned us severely after we let you in once, and you will have to take a big demerit later! Do you still want to go in now? Let's go! Hurry up! Platinum! Although Gen is a patient now, he is still a murder suspect! You will never go in and see him again!
