The Republic of China Conspiracy Records

Chapter 121 Fisherman’s Pride (15)

She was telling the truth, so although the boatman was resentful, there was nothing he could do.When he was sad, his employer's wife heard his anger, rushed over after hearing the news, and asked him why he was making a noise.The boatman told about Wan'er's inexplicable murder, and the employer's wife was also very angry. Dang even went to find her husband, saying that she wanted to seek justice for Wan'er.

After hearing what happened, her husband had a strange expression on his face, but Dang even took them to find someone together.This man is called Li Si, and it is said that he is a broker. The boatman didn't know why his employer took him to find him, but when he got there, Li Si said something, which made him suddenly realize that there are still such things in the silk reeling factory. Some reasons.

Li Si tried his best to drive away all the people in the silk reeling factory, and then handed over the guns smoothly.Unexpectedly, so many things happened in the middle, not only caused Wan'er to be severely injured, but finally handed over the gun to others.At this time, the employer and his wife proposed that as long as Li Si finds Zhao Yi and others and asks them to pay for Wan Er's life, he will not be held accountable for losing the gun.

This matter had nothing to do with the employer and his wife, but they stood up for Wan Er.The boatman was naturally inexplicably grateful, and thanked them again and again.He has nothing but this life, so he told his employers and his wife that after returning from watching the snow with a smile on his face, he will definitely come to repay their kindness.

The employer and his wife originally told him not to take this matter to heart, but at the insistence of the boatman, they agreed to wait for them here for a month.So the boatman continued to go north with Wan'er, but Wan'er was severely damaged physically and mentally, and finally couldn't hold on when the first snow fell.

"I have nothing. The only thing I can give her is companionship. Taking her north to see the snow was originally the thing I was most proud of, but later it became the thing I regret the most in my life." The boatman smiled bitterly, "However, this regret is not It wasn't because of what happened to Wan'er in the silk reeling factory, do you know why?"

It was because he took her to the north to see the snow that Wan'er died in the end, but he said that his regret was not because of this?Ji Mingmei and I looked at each other and shook our heads at the same time.

"We found an empty house in the local area. At this time, Wan'er had fallen into a coma. I was very sad, but thinking that the snow had already fallen, I went out and built a big snowman outside the house. I hope she will see it when she wakes up. will be happy."

He had never seen snow before, so he couldn't make a snowman, so he made an ugly snowman.But it doesn't matter, he thought that after Wan'er woke up, they could make another one together.But Wan'er never woke up, and the boatman stayed with her every step of the way. One night, Wan'er had a fever and talked in her sleep. It was in her sleep talk that the boatman heard the words that made him regret the most in his life.

Smiling softly, she said: "It's snowing, Father, I'm cold... I'm hungry..., there's nothing to eat, let's go. Leave here and go to the south, it won't snow in the south...I hate snow...it's cold ..."

When the boatman heard these words, he froze.

"I didn't have anything at that time, and being able to take her to see the snow was my only pride. But you know." The boatman laughed silently, as if this was an extremely ridiculous thing, and tears flowed from his laughter , "She is from the north and came to the south to escape famine, but I brought her back to the north."

"What, she...she is from the north!" Ji Mingmei and I were extremely stunned.She came to the south to escape the famine, and the snow that he thought would make her happy, actually brought her only hunger and cold.But even so, she followed him all the way north to see the snow that made her hungry and cold.

Because apart from this snow, he has nothing else to give her.Besides accepting this snow, she has nothing else to give in return.So this not-so-beautiful snow is actually the only contribution that both of them can give.The gift of traveling thousands of miles is actually just a futile effort.

Ji Mingmei and I were stunned, unable to react for a long time.It took me a while to recover from the shock. After thinking about it, I felt that this was not in vain, because no matter what the result was, both of them got satisfaction—the satisfaction of giving for each other.

The boatman was still laughing, so much that he couldn't straighten his back, but I saw the teardrops hit the boat board in big drops.I reached out and patted him, telling him that Wan'er was actually very satisfied, and asked him not to feel sad for what he had done.

"Perhaps." The boatman wiped away his tears and sat up straight again. "After that snowfall, Wan'er died not long after. I buried her in the snow, and then returned to the site where the silk reeling factory was located. Find the employer couple."

He said and glanced at me, "You must think that they are all good people?"

"Could it be that they also have plans for you?" Ji Mingmei wondered, "Didn't you have nothing back then?"

"Yes, but I still have a life, don't I?" The boatman replied, "When I got back there, the employer and his wife were waiting for me where they were, and after hearing that I wanted to repay them, they asked me to help them. One thing. You can't imagine what it's going to be."

Naturally, we couldn't think of what they asked the boatman to do, so Ji Mingmei and I showed expressions of willingness to hear more about it.

"They said, if I really want to repay them, please invite me to a place called Wenling Town, and together with a few other people, I will loosen the hillside behind the town every year until the young master of the family under the hill grows up. Leave home after becoming an adult, and then create a landslide to bury that family."

He looked at us and said with a smile, "I'm the one you're looking for in Tantou Town, didn't you expect that? I recognized you the moment you asked me, Master Wen!"

I had been stiff while he was talking, and then I couldn't help shivering.The tragedies of the Wenwei family may have been committed by people inside the organization. This is what I have long believed, but there has been no evidence.Now that the boatman admits that he is one of the murderers who caused the Wenling landslide, then the one who asked him to do this is naturally the real murderer behind the scenes.

And this person turned out to be Hu Xiaotian!
Blood all over my body rushed to my head, and I didn't need to look in the mirror to know that my face was probably flushed at the moment.While the boatman was still talking, he laughed and said: "So my employer and his wife are no good people. He specially made a 20-year agreement with Li Si, just because it would take 20 years to create the Wenling landslide. Of course Well, in order to avenge Wan'er, my whole family was buried under the landslide, and I have no right to blame anyone."

I held my hand tightly, and my whole face became hideous.But the boatman turned a blind eye and said to himself: "You came just in time. I originally wanted to find you after this matter is over. Since you came by yourself, it saves me the trouble of looking for you."

Ji Mingmei looked at the water that had already filled the cabin, and said vigilantly: "You...what do you want to do?"

At this time, I also calmed down from the state of brain fever. At this moment we are on his boat, if he wants to do something, we can't stop him, and I feel anxious.At this time, the boatman glanced at us and said quietly: "You must be very surprised why this boat leaks for a while and doesn't leak for a while?"

We all watched him intently, in case he did anything wrong.The boatman smiled and patted the boat plank beside him, and said, "Every time someone finished speaking, I would pat the boat plank, did you find out?"

I dare to believe that the ship plank at his hand has a mechanism, which can probably control whether the bottom of the ship is flooded.Sure enough, the boatman said: "There is a latch under this boat. Press it once to close the latch, and press it again to open it. So whether the water enters or not is completely under my control."

"You...you want to force us to jump into the river too!" Ji Mingmei said in shock.

"I said, I like you little girl very much, but I don't want to let you die." The boatman smiled, "Don't worry, the boat is coming to shore soon, and you will be able to disembark soon."

He actually wants to send us ashore? !Ji Mingmei and I were a little surprised, but the boat was really about to dock as he said.The boatman sent us to the shore, anchored the boat, let us disembark, and said to me: "Everyone should be responsible for their own mistakes. I caused the Wenling landslide, so naturally I have to pay the price. Now Now that the matter is over, I will pay this life to you."

As he spoke, he opened the latch at the bottom of the boat, and the river water gushed out.The boatman propped the boat away with a penny and sailed towards the center of the river. Then he stood on the bow and said to me: "Master Wen, what happened to the Wen family is far from being compensated by me paying my life. I don't know why my employer would Do this, but there were five people who caused the landslide with me at the time. If you want to track down this matter, I can tell you the whereabouts of the other four people."

He stood on the boat and told the names and addresses of the four people.I took out my pen and wrote down one by one, and then I watched the boatman get farther and farther away from the shore, and the boat gradually sank into the river until it was completely submerged in the water.

The trip to Tantou has not started yet, but it has already ended halfway.This is something I never thought of, and the sudden appearance of the real murderer behind the scenes caught me off guard.If Hu Xiaotian is the real culprit behind the scenes, what about Gu Yin who asked him to join Hushan?If Gu Yin is suspicious, what about Jin Di who is familiar with him?

I thought that along the way, everyone I met was hiding things from me, and even Bu Ying, who was closest to me, might have ulterior motives.And Ji Mingmei, she must follow me on the road, what is her intention?These people should know some truths more or less, but no one is willing to tell me.

When I think of this, I feel really ashamed.If everyone is trying their best to hide the truth from me, how can I break through this heavy cage and become an enemy of everyone?
The boat sank completely in the middle of the river without splashing a single splash.There was a storm in my heart, but I didn't say it, but turned around and walked away from the river alone.Ji Mingmei called me, but I ignored it.She came up to me from behind, and I didn't even look at her.

She looked at my face, and knew that no matter how coquettish or idiotic it would be at the moment, she bit her lower lip and walked with me for a while, then whispered: "Hey, I'll tell you what you want to know, don't you Ignore me, okay?"

I listen but don't hear, just walk forward in silence.Ji Mingmei stamped her feet, pulled me back, and said, "It is true that there are more than one sign, but six. It is indeed a token of the organization, but the organization is divided into six parts, and each part is They all have a sign."

I stopped and didn't answer, but looked at her quietly with a calm expression.Ji Mingmei was about to cry, "Don't look at me like that... It's not that I'm trying to lie to you."

"Then who is going to lie to me? Is it your father? He and Hu Xiaotian are in the same group?" I finally said.

Seeing me talking, Ji Mingmei let out a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "No, he didn't know that the Wenling landslide was caused by Hu Xiaotian. What he lied to you was that when you came to look for him, he should have taken him That sign was given to you."

"Oh? So Hu Xiaotian, Jindi, Bu Ying and others actually all have a badge, and when they met me, they should have given the badge to me, right?"

"That's right." Ji Mingmei took out the sign hanging around her neck from her collar, "The purpose of Mrs. Wen to let you go on the road is to inform everyone that the 20-year period has come and it's time to reawaken the organization to deal with the current situation. One is to let you collect all six cards."

"Is there any purpose for me to collect all these six cards?" I stared at her.

Ji Mingmei sighed softly, it seems that Ji Youjie told her not to tell me these things, "Although the brand is a keepsake of the organization, a single one will have no effect at all, and only by collecting all six can we truly be recognized. Wake up the organization."

"In that case, after I collect all six plaques, who should I give them to?"

"Don't you understand?" Ji Mingmei looked at me helplessly, with a complicated expression on her face, "You don't have to hand them over to anyone, because you are the new leader of the organization!"
