Chapter 116 Epilogue 1978...heartache
The moment the gunshot rang out, Xiuxiu didn't see anything. An arm came around from behind, and his big hand blocked her eyes.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang," five gunshots rang out across the world, and there were shouts from the crowd, including exclamations of fear and cheers of joy.
Xiuxiu saw a big hand in front of her eyes. She widened her eyes and saw nothing, but the sound of the gunshot was equally shocking.
In her mind, she could imagine the scene of Sun Youliang falling down at the sound, the scene of Chen Liu's brain bursting, but the scene of Zhao Xiaosheng's temple being punctured also flashed across her mind.
That was what happened after he was released from prison after 12 years in prison. Zhao Xiaosheng's life was ruined. After he was released from prison, he took Zhang Dafang with him to hell.
Why is fate so unfair to good people? For the first time, Xiu Xiu is grateful for her rebirth because of others. For the first time, she feels that her rebirth has saved the fate of these good people, which makes her feel just as happy as saving her own fate!
She didn't need to look back to know that Zhang Jiancheng was standing behind her. She turned her head and saw Zhang Jiancheng looking down at her, taking the sack she was holding with his other hand.
She saw Zhang Jiancheng talking, as if he was asking her something, but Xiuxiu felt that her ears were ringing from the gunfire and she couldn't hear anything.
Her tears were streaming down her face. The words "Sun Youliang brutally murdered Zhang Mancang" were mixed with the sound of tinnitus, and Zhang Jiancheng's face suddenly made her feel heartbroken!
She pulled Zhang Jiancheng's right arm and squeezed it constantly, tears falling from her eyes. She imagined how his arm would be torn apart by a Tibetan mastiff, which made her heartache to the extreme.
"Xiu Xiu! Xiu Xiu!" It wasn't until Zhang Jiancheng's anxious calls became clearer and clearer that Xiu Xiu looked up at him and her hearing gradually recovered.
Then, she heard him say: "My arm is fine! Don't cry!"
Yes, his arm is still fine now. Xiu Xiu wiped the tears from her face and heard Zhao Xiaosheng's iconic loud voice: "Jianjian! What's going on! Why is my sister crying?"
Xiuxiu watched Zhao Xiaosheng squeeze through the crowd and stand in front of her, her cheerful eyebrows furrowed: "Xiu'er! What's wrong with you? Are you scared? They are all bad guys, what are you afraid of? Besides, you didn't say you wouldn't come to see the fun... …”
Emotions welled up in her heart again. Xiu Xiu now felt even more distressed when she looked at her brother. She couldn't bear the ending of his previous life in which he was imprisoned for 12 years and finally shot.
She turned around and grabbed Zhao Xiaosheng's arm again. She was choked with sobs and couldn't speak. She only shouted twice: "Brother! Brother!"
"Hey! Brother is here!" Zhao Xiaosheng looked at Zhang Jiancheng anxiously: "What's going on? What's going on! Who is being bullied!"
In all the years in Xiuxiu's previous life, she had never been cared for so anxiously by her relatives. She was so uncomfortable that she lowered her head to Zhao Xiaosheng's chest and cried "Brother".
"Hey!" Zhao Xiaosheng felt like he was going to cry to death, and asked Zhang Jiancheng again with a confused look on his face: "What's going on? You're so sad!"
Zhang Jiancheng held the sack and looked at Xiuxiu deeply. He was silent for a while and then said to Zhao Xiaosheng: "Just coax her!"
Zhao Xiaosheng stared, his eyes full of "You don't want to coax your own wife, why don't you let me coax you?"
But he didn't dare to say anything. He just looked confused. Then he raised his hand stiffly and patted Xiuxiu on the back. He patted Xiuxiu twice. For some reason, he suddenly felt heartbroken. For the first time in history, this strong man actually fell. a few tears
......
When it was getting dark, Xiuxiu sat on the back seat of her bicycle, pulling on the clothes of Zhao Xiaosheng, who was riding in front. Zhang Jiancheng, who was riding side by side, kept turning his head to look at her.
After the public execution, the two of them were afraid that something might happen to her, so they accompanied her to inspect the goods and collect the money. After paying the money, they stored Xiuxiu's bicycle in the commune compound and refused to let her ride it. They insisted that Xiuxiu wait for them to do it. Let's go back to the village together after we're done.
The sunset cast a soft orange light on the bodies of the three young people. The sky was getting a little cold. Xiuxiu stood up with her collar up. Zhao Xiaosheng asked angrily while riding the bicycle:
"Xiu'er! Tell me the truth now! Is someone bullying you?"
Xiuxiu sniffed: "No!"
Zhao Xiaosheng said: "How could you not! Look how scared you are, even the money-counting hands are trembling!"
Xiu Xiu said with emphasis: "No!"
"Then why are you crying so sadly! Brother is a person who never sheds tears, and you have made me lose everything!"
When Zhao Xiaosheng thought that he was crying too, he felt embarrassed and angry. What could this be? Xiuxiu Na cried as if he was dead!
Xiuxiu grabbed his clothes and asked, "Are you still in contact with Zhang Dafang?"
Zhao Xiaosheng clicked his tongue: "Why did you suddenly mention that woman! No! Absolutely not!"
He said: "Last time Jiancheng took me to her house, and he brought me with him in plain clothes. He made the relationship clear. Now I don't even speak to her when I see her!"
"Well done!" Xiuxiu patted his back in affirmation.
"Eh?" Zhao Xiaosheng turned his head and couldn't see Xiuxiu's expression on the back seat, so he turned to glance at Zhang Jiancheng. Zhang Jiancheng rode silently and did not respond to him.
But Xiuxiu ordered from behind: "You are never allowed to talk to her!"
"Ahem!" Zhao Xiaosheng remembered what Xiu Xiu had heard at Zhang Dafang's house. He felt embarrassed and did not dare to talk back. He just nodded and said loudly: "Sure! It's what you said!"
Riding all the way to the entrance of Hongcun, Zhao Xiaosheng stopped and supported the bike with one leg, and said to the person in the back seat: "Get off the car, Xiu'er, brother is home, let Jiancheng take you back!"
Xiuxiu jumped out of the car reluctantly: "It's such a short road, just keep riding. I'll cook for you when you get home. You can go home after eating!"
Zhao Xiaosheng said: "How can I just go to your house to have a meal? Don't look at Yingying, that little girl dare not speak. Just look at me and my eyes are like knives! Besides, Jiancheng is not someone else, why have you become so outsider?" Woolen cloth!"
"You two, let's go!" After saying that, Zhao Xiaosheng turned into Hongcun Street with a quick pedal.
Zhang Jiancheng was waiting nearby, so Xiuxiu had no choice but to move over and sit on the back seat of his bicycle. This was the first time that Xiuxiu let him ride with her since she kept her distance from him.
The two of them were silent along the way. When they arrived at the entrance of the first alley, Xiuxiu suddenly said, "Let's go to your house first!"
"Huh?" Zhang Jiancheng stopped.
Xiuxiu said again: "Let's go to your house first!"
Zhang Jiancheng didn't say anything and took her all the way outside his courtyard. Xiuxiu did not enter the compound where she lived before. Instead, she entered his small courtyard. She stood in front of the woodshed and said to him: "Open the door!"
Zhang Jiancheng was stunned for a moment, then took out the key and opened the door. Xiuxiu entered the house. Although it was already dark, he could still tell at a glance that his house had become messy again. The only difference was that the quilts were stacked like squares. tidy
.
Xiuxiu walked to the bed, picked up his pillow and scratched it, and found that the old account book was still there. Zhang Jiancheng had just lit the oil lamp beside the bed, and turned around to see Xiuxiu taking out the money he had hidden from his pillowcase. That old ledger...
