Chapter 105
Qing Li watched Liang Jin and Xiji’s group of several vehicles drive over, slightly releasing half of her heart.
However, the arrival of reinforcements from Yue Zhi’s side instead made the situation even more tense.
She could see very clearly from the scope, the several people behind Li Chaoke were all tense, their hands unconsciously reaching for their weapons, Li Chaoke’s eyes were mad and unwilling, looking like he was holding back bad ideas.
Liang Jin took the cane and walked over, “What’s going on, he let you off so easily?”
“Ah Li aimed at them at the sniper point.” Yue Qi explained briefly. Yue Zhi simply explained, took the cane and relaxed his aching legs.
He took two steps forward and looked at Li Chaoke, “The investigation is basically over, the trial can start anytime, by the way, there is a new charge of escaping from prison.”
Li Chaoke’s face was ashen, but there wasn’t much disillusionment and despair on his face, he looked at Yue Qi with a fierce smile, “Do you think I will obediently stand on the judgment seat?”
“You think you’re the only one standing on the judgment seat? The judgment is for your sinful family, the world must be very curious, how in the world were pure brutes like you raised, they keep digging, they must be able to find out a lot of interesting things, your father, grandpa, all of them have to be pulled out of the judgment, together with your group, no one can escape.”
Yue Zhi looked at Li Chaoke and said, calm and cold, even if he is in shape, but at the moment he is still the shopping mall in the tent, say no one Yue Zhi.
“Yue Zhi!” Li Chaoke shouted angrily.
It was hard to imagine what kind of mood a seventy year old man was in to explode into action like that, Qing Li only felt a flash in the scope and Li Chaoke was gone.
Gunshots rang out, Li Chaoke’s lackeys didn’t want to be sitting ducks as much as he did, wanting to find a silver lining in the chaos, or at least escape from this place, they were all outlaws who would rather die than be put in jail.
Monogram with the security company had surrounded the outside, now they had to rush in as well.
Qing Li looked up, Li Chaoke was like a dying mad dog, recklessly pouncing on Yue Zhi, gun raised in his hand, his ferocious expression like he couldn’t wait to directly eat Yue Zhi alive.
Yue Zhi had no weapon on him, at the critical moment, he pulled Liang Jin who wanted to block in front of him, pushed into Xiji’s arms, and swung the cane in his hand.
In a flash of lightning, two bullets hit Li Chaoke almost simultaneously.
Qing Li’s heart almost jumped into her throat, her scope only just swept over Li Chaoke’s body before she pulled the trigger, too late to think much or calibrate.
The bullet hit Li Chaoke’s big arm, not the hand holding the gun.
And the bullet that pierced Li Chaoke’s palm and sent the gun flying out came from Singo Tower, who had just tumbled in through the window of the outer wall.
Li Chaoke fell to the ground with a miserable cry, the lord had already been ambushed, and it was only a matter of time before the others were subdued.
Yue Zhi walked over and poked his cane at Li Chaoke’s chest, looking at him condescendingly, “This should be the last time we meet, after being on the run for so long, you’ve kind of lived for a few more days.”
“I figured it out, I’m not going to turn you over to the police now.” He said.
Li Chaoke’s voice was weak, his voice trembled, “What do you want?”
Yue Zhi looked at Qing Li who walked in from the gate carrying various weapons, and smiled lightly, “My favorite person, she looks cold and arrogant, but in fact, she is a simple and kind person, always prone to softness, even so, she treats her enemies with no leniency, and it’s only fair if she lets her enemies experience the same pain as much as possible, and I think it’s very good. ”
“I bought an island, it’s not big, there aren’t many people, I simply repaired a house, the ones you go to will have people waiting for you inside, they will greet you warmly.” He looked at Li Chaoke, “After all these years, the families of those girls you brutalized, I found all I could, it’s enough to take care of you, after that, if you still have a breath of air, it’s not too late for me to hand you over to the police.”
Li Chaoke’s face was ashen and frozen, he turned and crawled frantically towards his own gun not far away, “I’d rather die!”
A pair of legs wearing black work pants appeared in front of his eyes, with a gentle kick, he kicked away the gun, cutting off his thoughts of killing himself, he stiffly looked up and saw Qing Li’s indifferent eyes.
“Yue Zhi Yue Zhi! You handed me straight to the police, just for the sake of me being you for so many years, let me off this time.” Li Chaoke ignored the sharp pain in his arm and turned around to jump at Yue Zhi’s feet even on his knees.
He was the one who had dealt with those innocent young girls with cruel and vicious means, of course he knew how painful it would be to go through that, how much he begged for his life and couldn’t die.
Yue Zhi looked at Li Chaoke, who was lying on the ground, and let out a light laugh, something suddenly dispersed in his heart.
When he was small, he was actually very afraid of Li Chaoke, afraid of the other side of those abuses, afraid of being locked into a small dark room without any explanation, afraid of being sent away for a long time will not see his mother.
Has been camouflaged by the truth to deceive coercion for so many years, his heart black clouds, wrong so much, also missed so much.
But now, he looked at Li Chaoke’s appearance, as if he just realized that this person in front of him, has long ceased to be, and is not enough to become is the shadow of his youth, but is just a dying, the crowd is divorced from the family, not a good end of the bereaved dog just, just a loathsome interlude in his life, it should have ended long ago.
He poked Li Chaoke with his cane pushing the man out of the way, “Mongoma, you and Falcon, take him to the island and send someone to keep an eye on him, don’t let him die.”
The way Menggema lifted Li Chaoke was like lifting a small chicken that had lost its feathers, Li Chaoke struggled with all his old bones, but he couldn’t shake him in the slightest.
“Yue Zhi Yue Zhi! For the sake of your mother, I’m the person your mother loved the most in her life, she won’t see you treat me like this in heaven, Yue Zhi! You let me off this time, hand me over to the police!” Li Chaoke tore his heart out and yelled, his silver-white hair in disarray.
Yue Zhi’s figure froze and called out to Mongoma, “Wait a minute.” ,
Li Chaoke thought that a turnaround had come, “Yue Zhi! For the sake of your mom ……”
Yue Zhi walked in front of him, gently raised his hand, and poked the end of the cane that was slowly thinning from the top down directly into his pierced cane, nailing it dead center to the ground.
Li Chaoke’s mouth was wide open, a silent scream seemed to tear his vocal cords, and he thrashed a few times in place like a fish out of water, fainting from the pain.
“You are not qualified to mention my mother.” Yue Zhi watched with cold eyes, “This time, it’s for Ah Li.”
Li Chaoke was dragged away like this, packed up and stuffed into an airplane, awaiting his due punishment.
Yue Zhi looked at his cane with disgust and tossed it aside.
“Better take it.” Qing Li walked over, unloaded the messy weapons on his body, picked up the cane and shook it off, and took out a tissue to wipe it clean, “Your legs, they can’t be stressed for a long time can they?”
“Ah Li.” Things ended, the emotionally relaxed Yue Zhi stared at Qing Li’s face unable to avert his eyes in the slightest, his gaze fell on the scald scar on the back of her right hand that extended all the way to her shoulder, “Does it hurt?”
Qing Li shook her head, “I forgot.”
After saying that she looked up at the sky outside, without realizing it, it was already afternoon, “I should go.”
“Ah Li!” Yue Zhi sniffed, a hand went up and pulled her hand, clamped it in a death grip, lightly trembling up, voice hard, “Wait, don’t go first.”
Qing Li turned back, quietly looking at him.
Yue Zhi gently stroked her face, taking two sharp and slight breaths to ease the swelling pain in his chest, his eyes unwilling to let go of any little detail of her face.
Almost two years had passed, two years that he had been muddled and worse than death, feeling incomparably long and incomparably short, and Ah Li appeared in front of him again, as if there had been no change, and as if she was all but a stranger now.
“Go.” He finally said, his eyes red, dark eyes like black jade dipped in water, “Your grandparents must be anxious …… to go.”
Yue Zhi’s voice was hard and hoarse, slowly loosening his own hand, slightly turning his back and wiping his face, “Goodbye.”
Qing Li “hmm”, turned around and left, Xingota glanced at Yue Zhi, followed.
Walking out a dozen meters, Qing Li suddenly stopped and turned back, “Yue Zhi, where I’m from, I don’t call my grandparents grandparents, I call my grandma and grandpa.”
“Well ……,” Yue Zhi didn’t turn around, shaking his voice and answered.
“Also, we have to eat longevity noodles for birthdays there, happy birthday, remember to eat.” Qing Li finished and left without looking back.
One more week would be Yue Zhi’s thirty-seventh birthday, consider it her early blessing.
Yue Zhi finally turned around, but he could no longer see her back, “Liang Jin ……”
Liang Jin didn’t have any defense, nor did she say the reason for doing so, “I’m sorry, sir.”
“Thank you.” As long as Ah Li was alive, nothing else mattered.
Qing Li and Singhota separated at the airport, one going back to China, the other to Norway.
“Promise me the fish, remember to send it, I want to pickle salted fish with my grandma and grandpa.” Qingli said with a smile.
Singhota nodded, “Pickle a few more, I’ll eat them when the time comes.”
Qing Li took a deep breath, went up and hugged Singota, patting him heavily on the back, “Thank you, Singota, you’re my best friend, it’s really worth it for me to meet you in this life.”
“Well, you too, have a good life with grandma and grandpa, and thank them for taking care of you for me.” Singhota closed his blue eyes.
Embracing and then separating, everyone’s life has its own trajectory, they have to go their own way eventually.
Qing Li rolled back home already the next day’s evening, twilight, she saw from afar a small light at the entrance of the courtyard, and two slightly hunched backs.
Her footsteps began to accelerate without hesitation, “Grandma, Grandpa!”
The two figures stood up at once and walked quickly towards her.
She rushed into the two warmest embraces in the world, “I’m back.”
Li Yushan and He Xiu Mei didn’t ask anything, they just rubbed Qing Li’s hands piece by piece, “It’s good that you’re back, are you hungry, are you thirsty?”
Pulled her into the door, the two quickly from the always hot stove brought a bowl of steaming hot noodles, noodles strong smooth, bacon chopped finely proportioned, is the most delicious noodles Qing Li has ever eaten.
She beautifully ate two big bowls, “Grandma.”
“Uh, what’s wrong?” He Xiu Mei, who was helping her with her fan and looking at her unable to spare a wrong eye, asked.
“Teach me to make this noodle.” She said.
“Hey, okay, whatever you say.” He Xiumei looked kind.
From that day onwards, green pear in addition to selling pear leisure began to learn to make noodles, from the beginning of the noodle, she in the cooking is still clumsy, but He Xiu Mei like this clumsy her, tireless teaching, good and can not eat the dough was given to the neighbors.
On August 15th, Qingli got up early in the morning and went to the house dedicated to storing pears to move pears out of the house, stood at the door for a while, as if sensing something, and went over to open the door.
Yue Zhi stood at the root of the wall, wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt, frozen by the temperature difference in the northwest, his face green.
Seeing Qing Li, after his face flashed with surprise, he was a little weak, “A Li, I ……” He wanted to find some kind of reason, but he was unwilling to lie to her again, and finally said straight, “I came to see you. ”
Qing Li stood silently for a while, “Eat noodles? Longevity noodles.”
Yue Zhi’s expression immediately brightened up, “Eat.”
Qing Li then led him towards the kitchen, “Light the stove fire and boil the water.”
This Yue Zhi was really good at it, after all, he had quite a bit of wilderness survival experience, he pulled out a lighter, found sun-dried corn husks from next to the woodpile, stuffed them into the cracks of the firewood in the stove, and quickly raised the stove fire.
Qing Li scooped out the dry noodles, starting with the mixing of the noodles, slightly rusty and clumsy, after doughing the noodles and waking them up, she took out the vegetables and meat from the refrigerator, and started to cut the bashful rice.
Yue Zhi just sat by the stove fire and watched in fascination.
Qing Li glanced back, his face reflecting the firelight, “Stay away from the fire when it’s ready, go out and stay in the yard, it’s scorching.”
“It’s fine.” Yue Zhi how willing to leave, he rubbed his calves, “How about baking me quite comfortable, here dry, my legs do not hurt.”
Qing Li then didn’t say anything else.
After spending two to three hours, she finally made a sea bowl of noodles, and did not take it to the hall, just sat down in front of the small table by the bed in the kitchen and watched Yue Zhi eat it.
She could cut the noodles better than He Xiu Mei, but there was no way to guarantee the flavor.
Yue Zhi looked at it and asked with sincere eyes, “Ah Li, why is this noodle so thick?”
Qing Li pursed her lips, “Longevity noodles need a whole noodle that can’t be broken, so it’s made a little thicker.” Because any thinner and it would have been pulled off by her.
Yue Zhi then found the head of that noodle and ate it in one bite because it was too thick, the outside was all boiled and the inside was still a bit pinched, Ah Li specially made this bowl of longevity noodles for him, even the soup wasn’t left.
“Why a whole root?” He asked.
“Because it symbolizes blessed longevity and a long life,” Qing Li looked at him with soft eyes, “Eat it, and you’ll have a long, peaceful and smooth life, this is my blessing to you.”
Yue Zhi reached out and touched her head, just like before, “Thank you.”
The two were speechless relative to each other, after a moment of silence, Yue Zhi stood up, “I should go, Xiji is still waiting for me outside the village.”
Qing Li then escorted him to the door, Yue Zhi squeezed out a smile and reluctantly left.
“Yue Zhi.”
Yue Zhi turned back, “Uh-huh.”
“Next time you come back, I’ll make the noodles a little thinner.” Qing Li smiled faintly, “Tell me in advance when you come, I’ll prepare some more dishes, eat with my grandma and grandpa.”
Yue Zhi let out a sob-like sound and took a few steps back to floor her into his arms, “Okay, I know.”
Thank you, Ah Li.
Thank you for still loving me after all this.
Qing Li gently encircled his waist and breathed deeply, to this day, the smell of Yue Zhi’s body was still her favorite smell.
They both knew clearly that they still loved each other deeply.
The past can’t be erased, those wounds will eventually be stretched infinitely by the years, following them until the end of their lives, but there are still a lot of places to go in life, there are a lot of things to do, and love is abundant in order to dilute the wounds.
It’s not easy for any of them, so at least stop torturing each other.
Having the ability to love people was a blessing in itself.
“After that there’s the Mid-Autumn Festival, National Day, they all need to get together, by the way, next spring there will be pear blossoms everywhere here, I’ve seen them, they’re beautiful.”
“I’ll come to all of them, okay, I want to see.”
“Okay.”
