Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before Dragon Slaying

Chapter 551 Lu Mingfei Arrives

"Her fault?" Kazama Ruri asked, "Why is it her fault?"

"I was standing in the wind and rain, and I couldn't understand what she said, but looking at her eyes, I seemed to understand everything." Uesugi Koshi lamented, "That is the farewell look...the eyes are full of It is full of love, but also full of reluctance and guilt."

"Farewell?" Kazama Ruri murmured, he seemed to have a premonition of the upcoming... tragedy in Uesugi Goshi's story.

"Yes, farewell, it was a silent farewell. In the eyes she looked at me at the end, she didn't say anything, but she seemed to say everything." Uesugi Koshi's voice was full of sadness that could not be buried, " After taking one last look at me, she raised the knife on the ramen stand's cutting board, slit her own throat, and died in front of me."

Even though Kazama Ruri had already guessed that the story would be resolved in this way, the sadness in Uesugi Koshi's story, which is as thick and majestic as the tide, still makes people feel suffocated and difficult to breathe.

"That night, I didn't know how long I was drenched in the heavy rain. Looking at her body, I just felt that the rain hit my body like a needle prick. It was very painful and cold. I stood in the rain and gradually became numb. , the body lost consciousness, like a cold puppet." Uesugi Koshi's voice gradually became a little hoarse, "Until the number of people in the family came over and took me away from the original place, the ramen stand and the two corpses also quickly disappeared. It was dealt with, for the underworld sect, dealing with the dead is already commonplace, and their actions are quick and silent."

"That is to say, from that day on, the ramen stand on the corner of the street suddenly disappeared from this world. No one knew where the beautiful and talkative female stall owner went, and no one knew that there was a woman following her that day. My fiancé has left this world." Uesugi Yue said in a low voice, "When I returned to the Sheqiba family that night, I seemed to have lost my soul. The elders of the family came to comfort me and told me that the master of the Japanese underworld didn't need to I was devastated because of a woman selling ramen, but I couldn’t listen to a word, and the elders were angry at my indisputability, and they asked someone to bring a stack of documents, which were all information about the woman’s life.”

"I searched and searched, but I couldn't read a word after reading it for a long time. The elder of the family took those materials from me, and he told me directly that the woman didn't love his fiancé at all, because the man She doesn't seek to make progress, is addicted to alcohol, and often bullies her while drinking, but she can't leave that man, because it is his father's doctor's order, and she is already pregnant with that man's child." Uesugi took a deep breath He said slowly, "I understand after hearing this, I think I understand everything, the bondage of the world, the child in my stomach... I think this is the reason why she can't go to France to pursue freedom, so She can only stay on that street and set up a stall selling her ramen because she still has debts to pay and an unborn child to support."

"What were your thoughts at the time?"

"What do I think? How can I think? There is no doubt that I love her, but after knowing the truth, I can't help being disappointed... It's not disappointment that she already has a marriage contract, it's not disappointment that she is hiding from me, and it's not disappointment She is pregnant with someone else's child." Uesugi Yue, "I'm disappointed... I thought she was different from other women, she was a bird yearning for freedom, but in the end she was just a house sparrow, Bound to death by worldly chains."

"After knowing the truth, do you still love her?" Kazama Liuli asked softly.

"How can love be such an easy thing to disappear? I spent the whole month in a daze, like a body that had lost its soul. I no longer rejected the stud girls arranged for me by the family. I bathed with them, and They go to bed, I review family documents during the day, drink tea with Noh masters in the afternoon and watch a play, and share dinner with governors and councilors and other big figures at night, living like a marionette." Uesugi Koshi said expressionlessly, "Until a month later, an old priest of the family secretly slipped me a letter."

"A letter?" Kazama Liuli asked.

"Yes, I had a hunch that this letter might be related to the dead woman. I went back to my bedroom at night and drove out all the wives my family had arranged for me. I opened the letter and read it line by line." Uesugi Koshi said, "Looking at those words, my numb heart seemed to be beating again. It wasn't until something fell on the paper and soaked the paper that I realized that I had already burst into tears."

"What's the content of that letter?" Kazama Ruri said.

"The letter was written by the old priest who delivered the letter to me. The main content is that the family investigated the woman's life experience a month ago and found out that she had a fiancé and was pregnant. The family was furious when they found out. After all, the 'emperor' of the family has fallen in love with a woman who sells ramen and has already escaped the control of the high-level people. Now I know that this woman has a marriage contract and a child in her belly. If I really take this woman back to the family , The head of the family and the elders all feel that this is a disgrace to the family." Uesugi Koshi said, "So the family sent this old priest to negotiate with that woman."

"This old priest is quite humane. He didn't embarrass that woman, nor did he use the power of his family to force him. He chatted with that woman about me, and he told that woman that I was a certain important person. It also said that our family already knew about her and her fiancé... After the old priest finished all this, he asked the woman a question." Uesugi Koshi said, "The old priest asked her whether she loved me or not."

"Then how did she answer?" Kazama Liuli couldn't help asking

"She was silent for a long, long time, and only answered one word... love." A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Uesugi Yue's mouth, "It can be seen that this is her answer after breaking through her reason and restraint. Her soul is indeed Those who yearn for freedom, but their bodies are tightly bound by certain things, and it is difficult to break free."

"The old priest told her that if she really loves me, she will abandon her fiancé and children, and never mention it to anyone in the future. As long as she can do this, she can do whatever she wants in the future, and she can also become a big shot in Japan. Uesugi Yue said, "Before she thought about it and answered, the old priest left after leaving a last word of self-care."

Kazama Liuli listened silently, without nodding or shaking his head. He thought that as a complete bystander, he was not qualified to comment on the good and bad, right and wrong of those who had witnessed such a dusty past.

"When the old priest came to the door for the second time, it was already three days later. When we met again, the woman's face was full of embarrassment. The old priest who was good at perceiving people's hearts rolled up her sleeves and saw the scabbed wound on her arm. Uesugi Yue said, "The old priest inquired and learned that on the day of his first visit, the woman stayed up all night. After listening to the old priest's words, morality and sensibility were frantically fighting in her mind, and finally she went to the hospital for the first time. In the early morning of the next day, she found her fiancé who had been drinking all night and was already drunk. She proposed to call off the engagement with that man, and promised to give her all the wealth she had accumulated so far and the only ramen stand left. Then came the man's scolding and beating."

"Is that man unwilling to let her go?" Kazama Liuli asked.

"Yeah, how could that guy who has become a waste let go of a beautiful woman and his own cash cow? She still expects a woman to set up a stall for him to earn money to pay off the debt." Uesugi said bitingly, "Woman Prayed to the priest, he asked the priest if he could give her a few more days, she would get rid of that man completely, but she felt that the child in her belly was innocent, the old priest sighed and said that she would be seen when she set up a stall with a big belly, People in the family will not allow such a woman to become the mistress of the Japanese underworld sect in the future. The woman said that she can disappear for a while, as long as she is given a period of time, she will definitely be able to solve the matter of her fiancé and children."

"Does she want to come to you after giving birth secretly?" Kazama Ruri looked at Uesugi Koshi.

"Maybe, but no one expected that this conversation was monitored by the high-level family members." Uesugi Koshi raised a vein on his forehead. Ambushes the fiancé on his way home from drinking and drops a drug in the woman's lunch the next day."

"That kind of medicine is for the child in the woman's stomach, right?" Kazama Ruri guessed.

"Yes, that is a highly effective abortion drug, developed by the Yanliu Research Institute, the abortion rate is as high as 90.00% [-], after taking it, the child will be aborted within two hours." Uesugi Koshi said, "Later You know everything about it, the man who had a marriage contract with a woman was killed by someone sent by the upper echelon of the family, the body was dumped on the ramen stand, the head was thrown into the boiling pot and rolled, and her innocent child was also killed. Lost, her spirit was on the verge of collapse, until the moment she saw me in front of the ramen stall, her last line of defense in her heart collapsed instantly, morality and sensibility tortured her at the same time, and she finally gave me a feeling of guilt and guilt. Look in loving eyes, and then commit suicide in front of me with the regrets and regrets of this life."

After listening, Kazama Liuli was silent for a long time, and then said softly: "It's full of regrets...it's really a sad and sad story."

"Who said it wasn't?" Uesugi sighed, stirring the cloudy noodle pot, "This incident has always been a thorn in my life, a regret that has never been resolved."

"Since this incident happened, I have always harbored resentment towards the family. This resentment has been in my heart for a long time, until I succeeded for 13 years. After I learned about my mother, my new and old hatred for the family is still in the air. It all came out in an instant." Uesugi Koshi said, "I burned down the old shrine of the family, killed the elders and priests of the family, and also killed [-] wives in my family, and I defected from the family , came here."

"That's why you inherited that woman's ramen stall, just to make up for the shortcomings in your heart?" Kazama Liuli asked softly.

"It's not about making up for it or not, regrets or regrets." Uesugi Yue said softly, "You think I'm making up for regrets. An old friend of mine thought that I was running away from the past by being a ramen chef, but in fact I never thought about it. I just wanted to escape, and I didn’t think about making up for it, otherwise I wouldn’t have chosen the location of the ramen stall in the back street of Tokyo University so close to Snake Hachi’s house.”

"Over the years, every time I make ramen, I remind myself not to forget the wrong things I did when I was young, and those old people who were sorry when I was young." Uesugi Koshi said, "Decades are like a day, and I spend the rest of my life Divide my remaining goodwill into each portion of noodle soup, and serve it to those who can't find sustenance late at night, hoping they won't feel that the nights in this city are too cold."

"Although you have done wrong things, you are a kind person, and those ridiculous past events... are not all your fault." Kazama Ruri said to Uesugi Koshi, "At least in my opinion, the current you Very good, you are not stingy to share your warmth with others"

"Son, I'm very pleased to hear your praise, but it can't cover up the mistakes and things I did when I was young." Uesugi looked at Ruri Kazama, "I heard Lu Mingfei said , don’t you always find lonely girls, ask them to buy you a glass of wine, and then stay with them all night? You are not stingy to share your warmth with others, which shows that you are also kind from the bottom of your heart people."

"Did Lu Mingfei still tell you these things?" Fengjian Liuli was stunned, as if she didn't expect that Lu Mingfei had already shared with her father what happened to her these years.

"So, girl, compared to the absurd things I said when I was young, your bad thoughts about Erika are nothing, because you still have a chance, and you still have time to make up for Erika." Uesugi Yue patted Kazama Ruri on the shoulder, "So don't feel too guilty, don't care about the bad things you did under Herzog's bewitching, take practical actions to cherish the people around you, draw Li Yi is a very kind person, even if he knows that you had bad thoughts about her before, so you don't have to take this matter as a thorn in your heart."

Kazama Liuli was silent for a while, then nodded silently.

Suddenly, Uesugi Koshi and Kazama Ruri heard at the same time, footsteps from far to near in the rainstorm outside the ramen stall.

One hand lifted the curtain of the trolley, and a figure walked into the ramen stand from the wind and rain outside, and sat slowly beside Kazama Ruri.

"Have I missed any wonderful stories?" The visitor flicked the rainwater off the umbrella and put it gently in the corner.

The visitor looked at Kazama Liuli, and then at Uesugi Yue, with a faint smile on his face... It was Lu Mingfei who had just arrived at Master Yue's ramen stall from Gao Tianyuan.

"I'll tell my son about his father's affair when he was young, what does it have to do with you kid, don't gossip!" Uesugi glared at Lu Mingfei fiercely.
