Fate [Donglun Tong Humanities]

Q12 ：

"There are two choices before us now. One, trust the old man. Two, trust his wife." Wang Dongcheng stretched out two fingers, looking solemnly into Aaron Yan's eyes.

Aaron Yan licked his lower lip, and said hesitantly, "Old man? Or... his wife?"

"Who do you think is more reliable?"

"Actually, I don't think what the old man said is completely unreasonable. The old man is so old, and it is normal for him to be mentally abnormal. Of course, it is also possible that the old man is really fooling us, but why would he want to How do you do this?" Aaron Yan was dazed by the current situation.

"If he is really lying to us, the result is obvious. He is the murderer or accomplice who killed you. When we found out about this matter, he had to trick us." Wang Dongcheng said in a deep voice, "In short, let's not It’s too quick to draw conclusions, let’s go to the old man’s house tomorrow.”

"Well, good. By the way, how is your marriage with Xu Yan...?" Aaron Yan mentioned this matter pretending to be very natural.But Wang Dongcheng could clearly see his unnatural expression and the small movements of his hands.

Wang Dongcheng turned his head and coughed, and said perfunctorily, "Come on. Days are passing by, and it seems that it will be the day of marriage soon."

"Oh." Aaron Yan replied dryly and didn't say anything more, the atmosphere fell to the lowest point in an instant, the two of them were silent and didn't know what to say.

"Uh, that, congratulations." After a long time, Aaron Yan squeezed out another sentence.

Wang Dongcheng nodded, "Well... I have something to go out." After finishing speaking, he hurriedly left the room.The atmosphere was so weird that he felt uncomfortable. It would be fine if he didn't know Aaron Yan's intentions, but now that he knew, he couldn't act as if he didn't know anything and still joke with him heartlessly.Only by escaping can he hide his guilty feelings.

Seeing Wang Dongcheng leaving in a hurry, Aaron Yan kicked the stone table angrily.Why did you mention this topic yourself?It was so embarrassing for the two of them.Thinking about it, Aaron Yan frowned suddenly.Awkward?It makes sense for me to be embarrassed, so how could Wang Dongcheng be embarrassed?Could it be that he already knew?

--the next day--

Wang Dongcheng and Yan Yalun knocked on the wooden door again in front of the wooden house, and it was still the old woman who opened the door this time.The old woman looked at Wang Dongcheng as she did for the first time, and then said puzzledly, "Young man, what's the matter?"

"Excuse me, is the old man there?" Wang Dongcheng asked calmly.

"Oh, you are looking for him." The old woman's complexion softened, "He just went to the market to buy something, and you will have to wait for a while to find him."

Aaron Yan stared at the old woman's face intently, her expression became very natural indeed, there was no suspicion of lying or fraud.So, the old man didn't lie.

"I guess you are the Mr. Wang who checked people into the water?" The old woman looked at Wang Dongcheng with more kind eyes, and she took Wang Dongcheng's hand kindly and said, "Thanks to the money you gave, my wife and I can live together The past. You don't know how hard the days were before."

Wang Dongcheng also smiled and replied: "What is the matter, this little money should be. You have provided me with so many clues, and I should thank you even more." After a pause, he continued to ask, "Yesterday I was in a hurry to meet the old man in the evening, so I didn't have time to ask some questions in detail, and I can just ask you today."

The old woman was happy to help: "Just ask, as long as I know, I will tell you."

Wang Dongcheng glanced at Aaron Yan, and Aaron Yan glared at him, and Wang Dongcheng immediately understood what he meant.He must want to say see what he does and ask quickly.

"Come here, come in and sit down. I'll pour you a glass of water and sit down and have a good chat." The old woman walked into the inner room holding Wang Dongcheng's hand enthusiastically.

After the figures of Wang Dongcheng and Yan Yalun disappeared in front of the house, a person walked out from behind the old tree not far away.He looked at the closed wooden door with cold eyes, and the corner of his mouth hooked up.Rubbing the rough bark with his fingers, a smile appeared on his originally cold face.

Things seem to be getting more and more interesting.

After Wang Dongcheng followed the old woman into the house, his eyes couldn't get used to it.Because the light in the house was too dark, the house was dim in such broad daylight, and he couldn't help wondering how the old man and the old woman lived.

Aaron Yan is enjoying himself, and the dark environment of being a ghost is more suitable for him.

"Sit down for a while, I'll get you a glass of water." The old woman led Wang Dongcheng and Aaron Yan to the dining table, then staggered away.

After the old woman left, Wang Dongcheng whispered to Aaron Yan, "Don't you think their house is too strange?"

"Will it be?" Yan Yalun glanced at Wang Dongcheng, "I feel very comfortable."

The corners of Wang Dongcheng's mouth twitched, "I forgot, you are a ghost, and you are different from people." After being stared at by Aaron Yan, Wang Dongcheng still doubted, "Anyway, it's too dark. Don't all old people should be exposed to the sun? The sun or something? Besides, the sun should be very good in the woods, why did they build the house so airtight?"

Aaron Yan thought for a while, then looked into Wang Dongcheng's eyes: "Is this important?"

Hearing what Aaron Yan said, Wang Dongcheng suddenly felt that this was really not that important.What kind of environment they live in is indeed their own business.

"Mr. Wang, we don't have any good tea here, only this is not good tea, you can just drink it." The old woman came out with a teacup.

"It's all right." Wang Dongcheng took the teacup immediately.

"Tell me, what do you want to ask." The old woman sat opposite Wang Dongcheng, looking at Wang Dongcheng with a smile.

Wang Dongcheng smiled, "I have heard the old man say the general things, this time I mainly want to ask some details. For example, are the three or four people you remember really a woman and the rest are men?"

The old woman nodded, "Although I didn't see it, I remember it very clearly. As far as the voice is concerned, it's a woman and the other is a man."

"Did you go over to check on the body after they left?"

The old woman immediately showed a panicked expression, "Oh, how dare I call Mr. Wang. I didn't have time to escape at that time, how could I have the guts to go up to see the corpse."

It makes sense to say that, young people may not come to watch such things, let alone old women, it is only natural that they are afraid at such an age.Wang Dongcheng exhaled, and then asked: "By the way, has anyone been here?"

"If there are any people, there must be some. No matter how remote this area is, people will pass by. But I look normal, and there are no people who behave strangely."

"Then there are no other permanent residents here?"

Hearing this, the old woman jokingly said: "Is there anyone else who moves here as strangely as me and my old man? Nope. I've lived here for so long, and I really haven't seen any other residents. "

Aaron Yan at the side was very puzzled, it couldn't be that he was dazzled that night.And it was so late, it was impossible for the old people not to go home and rush into the woods.Furthermore, he clearly heard the old man discussing their children.Thinking about it, Aaron Yan leaned over to Wang Dongcheng's ear and whispered a few words.

After hearing this, Wang Dongcheng coughed lightly and said, "By the way, wouldn't it be inconvenient for you to live here at such an old age? Don't you have any children?"

The old woman paused, her expression gradually darkening.She sighed and said: "I have a daughter. But she died of a serious illness a long time ago. The old man and I also spent all our family savings to treat her, so we had to sell the house and move here. Thinking about it this way, it has been more than ten years. Time flies so fast, and I am almost 80 in a blink of an eye. Sigh..."

Wang Dongcheng knew he had brought up the wrong topic, so he remained silent and did not speak.Aaron Yan also blamed himself, why is he still suspicious of the old man and the old woman?Seeing such a sad thing, the old woman must feel very uncomfortable.

Seeing Wang Dongcheng's silence, the old woman immediately said, "Oh, don't make such an expression, it's fine to mention this matter. I'm just sighing, don't blame yourself. The old man is really slow, go to the market It takes so long to buy something."

Only now did Wang Dongcheng have a sense of time, and it was almost noon, and he made an appointment with Mrs. Wang last night to apologize to the Xu family.So he stood up and said to the old woman: "It's getting late, I still have something to do, I'll come to see the old man next time."

After hearing this, the old woman also stood up to send Wang Dongcheng off. Wang Dongcheng immediately stopped her and said, "No need, no need, I can go out by myself. Your legs and feet are inconvenient, so just sit. I will cause you trouble today."

"No, come back next time if you have anything else to ask." The old woman said with a smile.

Wang Dongcheng nodded, then turned and left the cabin.

After leaving the wooden house, Wang Dongcheng suddenly felt that the sun was so beautiful when he saw the sun.He turned his head and said to Aaron Yan who was beside him, "It seems that the old man didn't lie to us, the old lady is indeed clear at times and not at other times."

"That's right. Don't worry now, we can trust the old man's words." Aaron Yan's footsteps became brisk.His better mood made Wang Dongcheng also happier.

When she came to the gate of Xu's Mansion, Mrs. Wang preached to Wang Dongcheng: "You have to admit your mistakes later, you know? Going out for a walk can also bring Xu Yan down. It's not good to spread the word."

"Okay, okay, I see. Let's go in quickly." Wang Dongcheng begged for mercy and pushed Mrs. Wang into Xu's mansion.

The apology went smoothly. Although Xu Yan was angry, her anger dissipated when she heard Wang Dongcheng's sincere apology, because no matter what, she loved Wang Dongcheng in her heart.But judging from the attitudes of Xu Feng and Li Qin, it was still very difficult to deal with. Their daughter was left in the crowd like this.Although they were not worried about Xu Yan's safety, they were really dissatisfied with Wang Dongcheng's performance.

Mrs. Wang noticed that Xu Feng and Li Qin's faces were not looking good, she thought for a while and said: "I see, the preparations for this marriage are almost ready now, and it would be too much to delay until the middle of the month. Why don't we let it go next week?" Let them both get married."

Xu Feng and Li Qin felt a little better when they heard Mrs. Wang's words, and their expressions softened.Xu Yan, on the other hand, looked at the expressions of the people present at a loss. She hasn't prepared anything yet. Is she going to get married next week?

Wang Dongcheng's eyes widened, and he turned to look at his mother beside him.Mrs. Wang also happened to look at Wang Dongcheng, and seeing his astonished gaze, Mrs. Wang immediately said, "Dong'er suggested this to me last night, didn't it?"

Hearing the persecution in Madam Wang's tone, and seeing the bright eyes of Xu Feng and Li Qin, Wang Dongcheng had to surrender and "admit" after a second or two, "Yes."

After hearing this, Xu Feng and Li Qin were immediately happy, and chatted with Mrs. Wang about the specific details with great interest.

Wang Dongcheng sighed in his heart, what is going on?

Preview of the next section:

"Dong, do you really want to marry Xu Yan?"

Panicked steps appeared in the woods, and Aaron Yan ran against the wind among the trees.The warm liquid brushed across his cheeks, and became icy cold under the baptism of the wind.

"I really can't hold on anymore. I thought I could hold on until it's all over, and then disappear into this world after telling you. But now, I really can't hold on anymore."

The pain spread to all four limbs, Aaron Yan propped his hands on the ground, the sound of his heart beating wildly seemed so abrupt in the silence.He stared at the grass blankly, forgetting the pain just like that.

"Where are you? Where have you been?"

Wang Dongcheng pushed through the crowd, looking for the familiar figure from behind.How can it be?How could that existence like superglue just disappear?

"One bow to heaven and earth, two bows to the high hall..."

The bright red bride and groom outfits are even more dazzling in this festive atmosphere.Everything seemed to be so harmonious, but who would know the uneasiness hidden deep in my heart?

"I'm sorry, I'm... sorry."

On the wedding night in the bridal chamber, the three words "I'm sorry" add a color of melancholy to this.

"You can't escape this time."

Approaching footsteps, the sound of bodies rubbing against the grass, and the sound of breathing that gradually became messy.In the middle of the night, under the moonlight, I can only have tears streaming down my cheeks.

Can we meet again?
