Fengqi Nancheng

During the meal, the uncle did not show up.

Cao Siyun said that recently, because the weather was too hot, his uncle was getting older, and the weather changed slightly, so he couldn't eat and his energy was not good, so he stayed in the room and asked the nanny to prepare something to go up when he was hungry at night.

Aunt Lin Zeyi also did not show up. It is said that she went to the town to meet an old friend from many years ago, and she will come again when the second uncle returns in the evening.

Lin Heng ate in silence, listening to his uncle explaining this to him, he slowly began to feel a little uncomfortable.

When I was young, I always felt that my father's family, although I didn't have much contact with them, treated me very warmly and gently.When I was young, whatever I wanted, as long as I acted a little bit coquettishly, uncles and aunts would take turns to satisfy me.However, after getting older, maybe it is true that we have too little contact with each other, and it is rare to see them once. They are also polite and courteous, and they can't detect anything wrong.

Lin Heng is a little nervous in life, when people smile at him, he feels that the other person is kind, but he doesn't know that there are thousands of different thoughts hidden under the same smiling face.

Therefore, when he returned to his hometown this time, when the few relatives who were very close to him in the past did not show up, Lin Heng felt a little lost and depressed.

For the first time, he felt that maybe in the hearts of his uncle and his family, he really didn't have much weight.

Thinking of this, he quickly finished his meal and returned to his room.

Nan Yucheng was a little tired after driving for several hours in the afternoon. After eating, he went back to his room to rest. Lin Heng was fine, so he turned on the TV to watch.There is no internet in the countryside, and there is no internet access. Although there is a small color TV in the room, it can receive too few channels. Lin Heng felt bored after watching it for a while, so he simply turned off the light and lay down on the bed to sleep.

This sleepy night fell asleep.It was almost nine o'clock when I woke up again.

He heard voices from the next room, the voice was slightly lower, it was his aunt and second uncle talking.

My aunt has a hot personality, and her voice is naturally loud when she speaks. Even though she lowered her voice a little, it still clearly reached Lin Heng's ears.

She said: "Brother, Siyun brought this back for you when he went on a business trip last time. It is said that the treatment for hair loss is very effective. You should try it later."

"Well, just leave it alone. I have something else to tell you." The second uncle said.

"You saw it this time, too. It was Xiaoheng who came again. Ever since Xiaoheng became an adult, Zecheng never came back to pay respects to his ancestors. Is he planning to hate us for the rest of his life?" The second uncle sighed: "The original No one can tell right from wrong. Over the years, I don't feel much guilt, but... I can never forget the way that woman looked at me. "

"Oh, brother, don't think about it. It's been so many years. Even Xiaoheng is so old, why do you still mention this?" The aunt persuaded: "You just let go of these old sesame seeds and rotten millet. I got it in my heart, and in a few decades, once our brother and sister die, who else will know about it? You, you just like to make yourself unhappy. "

"Tell you something, don't laugh at me." The second uncle's voice was a bit vicissitudes: "A few years ago when I was on a business trip, I met a blind fortune-teller, and I was standing on the side of the road waiting for the bus. , the blind master walked in front of me, there was a big rock in front of him, I saw that he couldn't see it, so I reminded him. He was very grateful, so he helped me read the face."

"To be honest, I never believed in such nonsense before. But after he saw it at the time, he said that I killed a woman and an unborn child in the first half of my life. I was shocked when I heard that. Only you and I know about it, so how could outsiders know about it? Then I heard him say that I should do more good deeds for the rest of my life to accumulate virtue. The crimes I committed are too deep, and that woman has never let me go and has always been by my side Just watch, if I make any mistakes again, she will..." At this point, the second uncle shuddered and didn't continue.

After being quiet for a while, he said hoarsely: "For the past two years, I have been trying to correct my bad temper and do some good things. But no matter what I do, I dream of her every night! She stood there laughing, laughing! Laughing all the time! Xiaoyi, I have only hurt one person in my life, but this one person will kill me for the rest of my life!"

Hearing this, there was a knock on the door in the next room.The second uncle, who was originally emotional, suddenly stopped talking, and then the door opened, and the person outside was Cao Siyun.

"Xiaoyi, it's so late, let's go back to sleep, don't disturb brother's rest. We'll talk about it tomorrow if we have anything to do." Cao Siyun said to Lin Zeyi.

Lin Zeyi responded and followed Cao Siyun out.Peace returned in the next room.

Lin Heng sat in the dark room without turning on the lights.

He was digesting what he had just heard.

Lin Heng has grown up so much, and always thought that although his family was not happy, it was at least harmonious.

The mistresses who often appear in other wealthy families have had affairs, but they have never had them.Although Lin Heng's mother died young, in Lin Heng's memory, when his mother was still alive, the relationship between his parents has always been very stable.Even so many years after my mother died, my father never thought of remarrying.He didn't even take care of other women outside.

Father Lin is a very handsome and handsome man. A man like him who is rich and has a dead wife will naturally have women who want to get close to him one after another, but he has never thought about it.He was so strict with his private life that it was almost cruel, and sometimes even Lin Heng couldn't help but sigh, but his mother just let go of her hands and walked away, leaving his father to face the long life alone, but he never let go. Not happy to accept another person.

He once persuaded his father to marry another woman back home, and he didn't mind having an extra stepmother.However, his father just glanced at him lightly, but did not answer.Since then, Lin Heng has never brought up such a topic again.

However, what the second uncle said just now completely overturned the world he had seen all along.

According to the second uncle, when the second uncle was young, he killed a pregnant woman, and because of this woman, his father was unwilling to return to his hometown for many years and was unwilling to face them.

What is the identity of this woman?What is your relationship with your father?Is the child in her belly the father's?

And why did the second uncle kill her?Was it deliberate murder or accidental?

Does father know about this?

A series of questions made Lin Heng dizzy. He was about to clear his mind and think about it, when he suddenly saw the signal light of the mobile phone on the side flickering, reminding him that he had a new text message.

He picked up his phone and clicked on the content of the text message.It was a message from Nanyucheng 10 minutes ago.

"Sleeping yet?"

Lin Heng thought about it while holding the phone, but he didn't reply.

He needs time to think about this matter carefully, if he sends a text message to recruit Nan Yucheng, then he will definitely ask himself what happened.

With a character like myself that can't hide things, he will get them out within a few words. After all, this kind of thing is a family scandal, and Lin Heng doesn't plan to let him know for the time being.

After figuring this out, he turned his phone to silent, put it aside, and began to think seriously.

In the darkness, his thoughts gradually became extremely clear.

According to what the second uncle said just now, Lin Heng can basically draw three conclusions:

First, the second uncle did something when he was young, and the only people who knew about it were the second uncle and his aunt.The result of this incident was the unexpected death of a pregnant woman.

Second, this woman has a certain relationship with her father.But to what extent the relationship is, Lin Heng is unable to judge.But what he was sure of was that his father didn't know that his second uncle had caused the woman's death.According to what the second uncle said just now, the father probably knew part of what the second uncle did to that woman, and it was because of this part that the father was unwilling to step into his hometown for so many years.But obviously, the father didn't know that the woman was killed by the second uncle in the end, and even, the father probably didn't know that the woman was dead for so many years.

Third, the second uncle has never expressed guilt for what he has done.Even though he had been in panic for many years because he had killed someone, he didn't think that what he did was wrong.He was just angry that the woman was still pestering him after death.

A normal, moral person, no matter what the reason is, will feel more or less guilty and remorseful when someone is killed.But Lin Heng carefully recalled what the second uncle said just now, and what he repeatedly mentioned was that the woman refused to let him go, which made him feel angry and scared, but he didn't feel the slightest guilt from the beginning to the end.

Under what circumstances would a person feel no guilt at all for the fact that they killed another person?

In one case, the person is a complete, dehumanizing psychopath.In his eyes, killing a person is a common thing, not worth mentioning.It's like you trampled an ant on the side of the road. You won't feel guilty because of this ant, because it is a different creature from you, and your values ​​are different, so there is no comparison.

However, this kind of person has a very big characteristic, that is, indifference.Not only do they disregard the lives of others, but they also disregard their own lives.And this kind of characteristic obviously does not match the situation of the second uncle.

From the conversation just now, it is not difficult to see that the second uncle is very afraid of death.Because he is afraid of death, he tries to improve his character, so he tries to do good.On this point, he can basically be ruled out from the first situation.

So what is another situation?It was the one who was murdered, a sinner who deserved to be hacked into pieces.

When ordinary people watch some news events about thugs committing brutal and inhumane crimes, they will also have a kind of wish to tear them into pieces.Because in the hearts of most people, these scum who have lost their humanity and morals are not qualified to live in this world.Anything they do can be forgiven, and any behavior they do is just and worthy of support.

The second uncle's reaction to this matter is very inclined to the second situation.

However, assuming the second situation is true, then the murdered woman must be a character that everyone can punish.

However, what kind of outrageous things can an ordinary pregnant woman do?

Thinking of this, things are back to deadlock.

Lin Heng rubbed his temples, relaxed his thoughts, and sighed.

So far, he has received too little information to make any judgment on this matter.If he wanted to get a deeper understanding, he had to spend more time in his hometown these few days to inquire about some news from the people around him.

Thinking of asking for news, Lin Heng also thought of getting up early tomorrow to say hello to his uncle.Today it was because my uncle was unwell, so I didn't bother him, but tomorrow I have to meet the elders, otherwise it would be too rude.

Lin Heng glanced at his phone, sitting here and thinking about it, several hours passed without knowing it.It's almost morning now.

He yawned, got up and changed his clothes, and prepared to go back to sleep.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a small, rustling sound coming from the wall.
