1817 The road ahead is difficult
"You...you're all back?"
I glanced at my brothers who were squatting or standing on both sides of the mourning hall and greeted me softly.
In addition to the original brothers in Yangcheng, Wang Jiashun, Su Weikang, Liu Xiangfei and Nie Haoran who were staying in Guancheng arrived, Qian Long and Sanyan came with Da Tao, and even Li Junfeng, Jiang Lin and Xingchen, who were far away in Burma D, rushed over.
In the mourning hall, Chen Ao's black and white photos were placed in a straight line. Behind it was a nanmu coffin. Wang Xinlong crawled beside him, adding paper money to the brazier with tears on his face. Jiang Ming, Dong Dongdong, and the urine basin were kneeling in front of the black and white photos. The room was filled with a sad smell.
The tears I had already wiped out were already dry, but when I saw Chen Ao's photo, I couldn't control it again.
Wang Jiashun handed me a stack of tissue paper and whispered to dissuade me: "Brother, Feng Jie and Dapeng are on the way, I guess they will arrive later."
I waved my hand and signaled not to use it, and walked towards the incense table where I was placing my photos step by step.
Zhang Xingyu sniffed and said, "Wang Mang and some friends from Yangcheng said they wanted to pay a visit, but I declined."
I sniffed my head and responded: "Well, I refuse anyone to worship. This is our family matter."
It was less than ten meters away from the door to the incense table, but it seemed like I had walked half a century. When I was less than two meters away from Chen Ao's photo, I knelt on both knees and kowtowed several times with my forehead.
Immediately, the sadness that had been suppressed in my heart erupted in an instant, and I lay on the ground and cried loudly.
Sanyan hurriedly walked out to support me: "Langlang, it's not appropriate to kneel big and small. Get up quickly, don't let Xiao Ao leave even if he leaves."
"Nothing is wrong, I owe him." I broke away from my arms and cried with tears in my eyes: "When the head wolf attacked Chong City, the head wolf was unscathed. He occupied the mountain city, and the head wolf was covered with scars, but at least he was full of health. When fighting in Yangcheng, he first injured one leg of my big dragon and one life of Chen Ao. I feel pain, brother."
I covered my chest and bit my mouth and cried out, "This piece really hurts."
As I was talking, I suddenly felt a little sweet in my throat. Then I spit out a mouthful of red blood with a "pop", and then my eyes went black and I fainted uncontrollably.
Opening my eyes again, I was already lying on a soft bed, my throat was so dry that I couldn't speak at all. The electronic wall clock facing me showed that it was around four o'clock in the morning.
"Cough cough cough..." I coughed violently twice and climbed up with the bed.
Jiang Jingya immediately brought a bowl of clear water to me and asked with concern: "You woke up, Langlang, how could you feel uncomfortable?"
"I...I'm fine." I shook my head. After saying it, I realized that my voice became extremely hoarse, completely like an old man in his fifties and sixties.
I pulled Adam's apple and murmured: "Why did my throat...because I have become like this?"
Jiang Jingya red eyes and dissuaded me: "The doctor said that your vocal cords had been traumatized before, and this time it seemed that they had been affected. It may have been like this for a long time. I told you to talk as little as possible. You should drink the porridge first. I haven't eaten much in one day, and even the iron man can't stand it."
"Well, you can rest quickly." I lit my head hard and took the bowl and spoon in her hand. I could feel that my voice was even louder than a crow that made people pinch his tail.
Seeing me plucking the white porridge in the bowl, Jiang Jingya sat next to me and whispered to comfort me: "Langlang, I shouldn't interrupt the company's affairs, but now the truth is already like this. If you continue to suffer so much, in addition to hurting your own body, you can only make those who care about you more worried. Let's be fine, can you?"
I was stunned for a moment, then squeezed out a smile and responded: "I understand."
Jiang Jingya gently wiped the sweat stains on my forehead with a towel and continued, "Langlang, I think the most important thing you need to do now is to calm yourself down. During the more than one day you were unconscious, your high fever did not subside. I kept muttering about sorry and killing you. Moreover, the expression on your face was particularly hideous. To be honest, I was afraid of seeing it."
"Maybe I'm having a nightmare." I paused for a moment, put the clean bowl on the table, gently stroked Jiang Jingya's cheek and spoke: "Xiaoya, I have no emotional or psychological problems, but I just couldn't accept it for a while. You don't have to worry about me. Now the only thing you need to do is to protect your baby well. I'll send you abroad to relax in a while."
Jiang Jingya bit her mouth lightly and looked at me weakly: "Langlang, I have always told myself that I don't want to make a vase, and I don't want to use my child to threaten you to stay by my side, if...if you think...."
"Can we not talk about this today?" I interrupted her and gently stroked her cheeks and said, "I really don't have the heart to talk to you about my relationship now. Give me a buffer period. After the matter is over, I will definitely have a good talk with you face to face."
Jiang Jingya was stunned for a moment and said in a hurry: "I'm sorry, I..."
"I'm sorry, I don't want to tell you it's okay, I hope we've always had something to do." I got up, kissed her forehead, put on my shoes and walked out the door.
Jiang Jingya hurriedly asked me: "Where are you going?"
"Mojou Hall, I want to spend a while with Xiao Ao. Before, he was always waiting for me and accompanying me." I rubbed my cheeks and waved my hand at her: "Be good, you sleep first, I will stay with Xiao Ao for a while and then come back."
After saying that, I opened the door and left.
Jiang Jingya rushed behind me with concern and told me: "You are very weak, the doctor told you to rest more..."
When I walked into the elevator, I breathed heavily. I didn't know if it was because of Chen Ao or whether it was a bloody fight with people in the brick factory this time. I suddenly became a little scared, afraid of myself being damaged, afraid of the people I care about being hurt, and even more afraid of any irreparable consequences because of my stupidity.
Suddenly, I remembered the noble brother I met in Shi City.
Before leaving Shishi City, he told me that if you want to be truly strong, you have to make the company's economy soar. I lowered my head and stared at my upper and muttered to myself: "It seems that it is necessary to go to Shishi City again and have a good chat with Brother Gui."
A few minutes later, I came to the mourning hall in the first floor lobby.
I thought there should be no one in the mourning hall at this time, but I saw Dong Dongdong, the urine pot and Jiang Ming still kneeling straight in front of the incense table. The three of them had no expression on their faces, and they just knelt motionlessly, like a wooden carving.
Perhaps because of hearing my footsteps, Dong Dongdong and Jiang Ming raised their heads at the same time.
"Brother..."
"Langco."
Seeing that the three of them were covered in red bloodshot eyes, I took a deep breath and waved my hand: "Don't kneel down, go for a rest."
Hearing my voice, Jiang Ming immediately opened his eyes wide: "Brother, why are you talking about?..."
"It's okay, I'll get some of the root causes, maybe it'll be fine in a while." I waved my hand in a hoarse voice: "Okay, you all have a rest. Remember the trouble you caused this time, and never make it again."
Dong Dongdong choked and explained: "Brother, I'm sorry, we just wanted to help you solve the problem, but we didn't expect to get such a big disaster."
"It's over, everything is over." I lit a cigarette, and as soon as I took a sip, I was choked and coughed violently. I sat on the ground in front of the incense table, pointed to the photo of Chen Ao who was close to me, and sighed: "Remember his face, don't forget it in this life, and take Dayao and his cousin to the hotel tomorrow."
A few minutes later, the three little brothers supported each other and limped back upstairs to rest.
I held the cigarette roll in my mouth, grabbed the tribute wine on the incense table, unscrewed the bottle cap and took a big sip on myself, then poured it on the ground, staring at Chen Ao's black and white photos and sighing: "I have never had a serious drink with you all the time. I didn't expect that we both have freed up our time, but it is the best drink."
Before I finished speaking, I felt like my throat was blocked by something and I could no longer continue.
The real sadness is silent, and the feeling of wanting to cry but finding no tears to shed is particularly indescribable.
Just now, I suddenly realized that I would not cry anymore. To be precise, there were no tears in my eyes. I don’t know whether it was because of my body or my mood at this time.
I raised my neck and drank it again, muttering again: "I won't say anything, drink it."
"bite!"
At this moment, a crisp sound came from the direction of the elevator, indicating that someone came down from the upper floor, and I twisted my head curiously.
A man wearing a white kung fu shirt and shaved with short hair on his brain skin walked slowly towards me.
Seeing the man's appearance clearly, I opened my mouth incredibly: "Master...Master."
The person who came was my master Lin Kun. The expression on his face Gu Jing Wubo sat straight next to me and said in a low voice: "Xiaoya said you are awake and worried about you, so let me come and take a look."
"I'm fine." I licked my mouth and shook my head.
"Do you regret taking this path?" Lin Kun looked at Chen Ao's photo, lit a cigarette, and looked at me and asked, "If you are given another chance to choose, will you continue?"
"I...continue." The muscles on my face twitched and nodded twice.
"Continue means you may taste this kind of sadness again." Lin Kun grabbed the white wine in my hand, raised his neck and took a big sip, and breathed a sigh of relief: "If you regret it, I will find a way to arrange for you to go abroad and be a person who is indifferent to the world in the future."
"If I withdraw, it means he will die in vain." I shook my head like a rattle, gritted my teeth and growled: "For nothing else, for him, I will definitely eradicate Tianyu."
After a while of silence, Lin Kun handed me the bottle and said, "You may still feel pain in the future, even more unbearable than today's pain, but if you can reach the other side, you will find that everything is worth it."
After hesitating for a few seconds, I spoke: "Master, Asheng..."
"Asen must be punished." Lin Kun interrupted me without hesitation.
Seeing that I opened my mouth and wanted to continue to defend myself, the master added another sentence: "As for whether he can be reborn from the fire, it depends on his own fortune and his own ideas. I will definitely do the ultimate in what I can do. I will also find a way to tell him that you miss him very much."
"Thank you, Master." I immediately leaned over and knelt next to him.
"The downhill road of Tianyu also means that the head wolf has officially started. The advantage is that you will see a bigger sky, and the disadvantage is that you will find yourself becoming more and more involuntary." Lin Kun took a sip of wine and said in a long sigh: "The Huihuang Company is also coming to Yangcheng."
"Yes." I nodded like a dull man.
"Okay." Lin Kun hugged my shoulder and murmured meaningfully: "Your road will be very difficult, are you afraid?"
I took a sip of wine and smiled bitterly: "What am I afraid of? Why should I be afraid? I was born with nothing, and at most I will knock me back to my original form."
"Children, it is his honor for some people to sit on Rolls-Royce, and it is his honor for some people to sit on Rolls-Royce." Lin Kun spit out a mouthful of smoke and said, "This is how society is. If you want people to look up to you, you have to learn to swallow all your worries. Those who can't afford to lose will never win..."
