Chapter 16 Ruan Lang Returns (15)

I think, maybe her words are just to appease Ruan Lang and prevent him from doing stupid things. In a couple of days, maybe she will let Lord Wu's family go out of the mountains to hide for a while. Ruan Lang can't find anyone, and it's impossible. I have been staying in Luolian Town, so I had no choice but to leave.The more I think about it, the more I feel that this may be the case. Master Wu's family has acquiesced in the crime of murder for her sake, and it is impossible for Mrs. Luo to remain unmoved. It is reasonable to let him go out of the mountain to avoid it.

I was a bit confused, but when I came out, I found that Ruan Lang ran to the yard and talked to Luo Xiaoshan through the window for a while. Luo Xiaoshan's face was pale, but he kept asking if Ruan Lang would avenge his father?I saw that he was already like this, and he was still obsessed with killing Lord Wu's family, so I couldn't help feeling a little creepy.

Ruan Lang vowed to avenge his father again. I went over and pulled him away. I really didn't want him to talk to this lunatic again.Ruan Lang was pulled back into the room by me, and suddenly asked me: "Sir, does Luo Xiaoshan know why you are sure that he is the murderer?"

I was taken aback for a moment and said, "Why do you think so?"

Ruan Lang said: "From the beginning to the end, he never asked you how you knew he was the murderer. There must be a reason that both of you know well, right?"

I was silent for a while, and said: "I think he should know about it." After a pause, he immediately said: "You don't need to ask me about it, I really don't want to talk about it."

Ruan Lang was told the truth by me, so he could only say bitterly: "Forget it, I won't ask any more."

We stayed in the town hall until the evening. The mayor was going to escort Luo Xiaoshan out of the mountain tomorrow, and I would definitely leave when he came back, so he hosted a farewell banquet for me. Ruan Lang was also present, eating and drinking, when Xiangyong suddenly came to report Said, Mrs. Luo is here and wants to see Luo Xiaoshan.For the folks in the village, this trip will be a farewell. Naturally, the mayor will not stop them from seeing each other. On the contrary, she has not come to see him until now, which has already surprised us a little.

The mayor asked Xiangyong to open the door and let Mrs. Luo in to talk to Luo Xiaoshan. We sat inside and couldn’t hear any noise outside. It seemed that Mrs. Luo’s mood was still very calm, and Luo Xiaoshan didn’t make any noise. We are deeply curious about this pair of mother and son. It is really rare to be so calm when facing life and death.

Mrs. Luo still talked to Luo Xiaoshan for a long time, and she didn’t come to our place until near midnight, asking the mayor to take care of him along the way, the mayor quickly agreed, please rest assured, no matter what the result of going to the county Luo Xiaoshan will never be wronged when he goes out of the mountain this way.Mrs. Luo thanked him, took her leave and went back.

We also broke up the table and let the mayor rest.When Ruan Lang and I returned to the room, I suddenly remembered a letter Mrs. Luo had given me during the day, so I took it out of my pocket and wanted to put it in the package.Ruan Lang poked his head over and said, "I really don't know why she folded the letter so that no one would know the address?"

I put the letter in my bag and said: "No matter what the reason is, since she said it, I just have to do it. The horse patrolling the city is the most important thing. Honesty is the most important thing. If you can't do what you promised, who will dare to ask you to pass on the letter in the future?" letter?"

Ruan Lang murmured, "I just think it might have something to do with my father. Didn't the mayor say that she has no relatives outside the mountain? Who are you going to write to?"

I said: "Even if it's related to your father, I won't show it to you. I have never let a letter go wrong, and you don't Thinking about peeking at something from me."

Ruan Lang asked anxiously, "Who wants to peek?"

I said: "It's best not to think about it, go to bed."

There was nothing to say all night, the next day the mayor ordered the villagers to escort Luo Xiaoshan out early in the morning. Ruan Lang and I sent them out of the town all the way, and said goodbye to the mayor, but Mrs. Luo never came to see Luo Xiaoshan. The mayor left.

When we went back to the town hall, Ruan Lang said he was going to see Mrs. Luo and comfort her. I thought to myself that Luo Xiaoshan didn’t run away from home, but never came back. This kind of comfort is of no use, but I still agreed. up.

Strangely, when we arrived at the Luo family mansion, we found that Mrs. Luo was not at home, and no one answered the door.We had no choice but to go back to the town office until the afternoon, after having dinner with Xiangyong who stayed behind at the town office, she was still not there.

Ruan Lang said: "Is she going out of the mountain to send Luo Xiaoshan off?"

I said: "Impossible, she wanted to send Luo Xiaoshan out of the mountain, so she left with the mayor, and the mayor would not let her follow, how could she sneak out by herself?"

As he said that, he suddenly had a bad feeling, hesitated for a moment, and said to Ruan Lang: "Is it because she sees Luo Xiaoshan doing something like this, she loses all hope and doesn't want to live?"

Ruan Lang was taken aback and said, "Sir, don't scare me."

I forced a smile and said, "I'm talking nonsense, it shouldn't be possible."

Ruan Lang became anxious, and said, "I think it's very possible, sir, let's... we have to go in and have a look."

I said: "Wait a little longer, if she is not here tonight, we will ask Xiangyong to go in and have a look."

Ruan Lang said, "Okay. Just wait until night."

In the evening, Mrs. Luo still didn't answer the door. We all panicked, so we asked Xiangyong for help, pried open the door, and found the backyard all the way, and found that Mrs. Luo was hanging on the acacia tree with thousands of entanglements around her neck. Yes, it was her long hair.

She hanged herself with blue silk.

We were all terrified, and hurriedly untied her, but we couldn't save her life.Standing under the acacia tree, I couldn't help feeling a little dazed. No wonder she seemed so calm after Luo Xiaoshan's accident. What's the point of living alone?
Although Luo Xiaoshan is to blame, but I uncovered the matter, no matter what, the mother and son of the Luo family died indirectly at my hands. I looked at the stiff Mrs. Luo, my heart tightened, and I didn't dare to leave Get closer.

Xiang Yong put Mrs. Luo on the ground next, but came to call me: "Sir, she is holding something in her hand."

I subconsciously said: "What?"

Xiang Yong took the thing out of her hand and said, "It's a note, sir, come and see what's written on it?"

The note in Mrs. Luo's hand, I thought it was something like a will, but I took it over and saw that there were only a few numbers on it: "I avenged your father."

This is for Ruan Lang.

I handed the note to Ruan Lang and said, "It's for you."

Ruan Lang was a little dazed by Mrs. Luo's suicide, he took the note blankly, and said, "What?"

I smiled wryly and said, "She said that she avenged your father."

Ruan Lang asked in a daze, "When? She... She killed Master Wu's house and then came back to hang herself?"

I sighed and said, "Don't you understand?"

Ruan Lang said: "Understand what?"

In fact, I just realized it, and when I think back to what happened a few days ago, I immediately understand everything.

Why did Master Wu's family have a frightened expression when they first met Ruan Lang at Luo's house?Why did Master Wu's family refuse to admit that Ruan Lang's father died in Luolian Town?Why did Lord Wu's family believe that Mrs. Luo was the accomplice who killed Ruan Lang?Why did Mr. Wu's family warn Ruan Lang not to allow him to mention revenge on his father to Mrs. Luo?

Because, Ruan Lang's father was not killed by Lord Wu's family at all, but Mrs. Luo!
He knew that Mrs. Luo killed Ruan Lang's father, so when he saw Ruan Lang at Luo's house, he was shocked. He thought that Mrs. Luo wanted to kill Ruan Lang and get rid of Ruan Lang; so he firmly refused to admit that Ruan Lang's father died in the In Luolian Town, he wanted to cover up for Mrs. Luo; that's why he always believed that Mrs. Luo was involved in the framing of Ruan Lang, and he would admit it himself; so he didn't allow Mrs. Luo to avenge Ruan Lang's father, nor allowed Ruan Lang mentioned it again.

Her revenge was to kill herself.

The most ridiculous thing is Luo Xiaoshan. He has too much affection for his mother, so he hates Master Wu's family so much that when he is about to enter the county to die, he keeps teasing Ruan Lang to avenge his father.Ruan Lang really listened to him, promised to take revenge, and kept talking to Mrs. Luo.Mrs. Luo saw that her only son had lost her life, and the son of her former lover kept trying to avenge his father. The guilt of more than ten years finally broke out.

I don't know why she killed Ruan Lang's father more than ten years ago. I think it was nothing more than some love-hate stories, so she accidentally killed him.If she hadn't killed him at that time, she might still hold a grudge when she saw Ruan Lang more than ten years later.However, his death buried all her hatred, leaving only love and guilt.

She imitated his tone of voice and all his habits before he was alive, just because she wanted him to live, not die by her own hands.

Sometimes, when we hate a person, we hope that he will live well and live so that we can hate him.

And Luo Xiaoshan never knew that he wanted to protect his mother from being snatched away by others, but he sent her to a dead end with his own hands.The only good thing is, he'll never know.

I looked into Ruan Lang's bewildered eyes, but I was also bewildered in my heart.In this world, the most difficult thing to guess is people's hearts. Just like Luo Xiaoshan, he has been with Master Wu's family since he was a child, and he has never shown anything wrong. Who would have thought that he would hate him to the bone?Just like Mrs. Luo, she killed Ruan Lang's father, so much so that Master Wu believed that she would kill Ruan Lang again, but Mrs. Luo didn't mean that at all, instead she defended him everywhere.

It's like I will never guess what Luo Xiaoshan was thinking when he was sitting on my bed reading a book while holding the girl's head.

Yes, that book that I read almost every day is a joke book from the Qing Dynasty. There is a joke on it called "Small Hair", which tells the story of a monkey who wants to be reincarnated into a human womb.

I don't know what Luo Xiaoshan was thinking when he told this joke to Ruan Lang. I don't even know why he told this joke.

I shudder just thinking about it, and I'm so cold that I don't even want to mention it.Luo Xiaoshan knew that it was only after I heard this joke that night that I was sure that the murderer was his.Because I was looking at this page when I put the book on the bed that day.

I guess Mrs. Luo is so attached to that acacia tree that she hangs herself on this tree. Maybe Ruan Lang's father was buried under this tree?I didn't tell anyone about this conjecture, the curtain has already come to an end, why bother to expose the scars of the dead.

I told Ruan Lang the whole story, and everyone present opened their mouths wide open. Ruan Lang said in disbelief, "You mean, she killed my father? How is that possible!"

I said: "She killed herself and left a message saying that she avenged your father, don't you understand?"

Ruan Lang still couldn't believe it, and I didn't want to waste my words.Since Mrs. Luo is dead, the letter she sent must be a will. I took out the letter and wrote an address on the envelope. As soon as I read it, Ruan Lang called out: "This is not my home address. ?"

I handed the letter to him: "She must have left it for you, so give it to you."

Ruan Lang said: "I don't know how to read, so I'd better ask Mr. to read for me."

I pulled out the letter, read it myself first, and then told Ruan Lang the general idea. To our surprise, Mrs. Luo transferred all the properties of the Luo family to Ruan Lang in the letter.But thinking about it is also right, there is no one in the Luo family, and if you don't give it to Ruan Lang, you can only become a thing without an owner.

The little peddler who came to Luolian with me suddenly became the biggest master in Luolian Town. This is something I never thought of. Ruan Lang himself was also confused, just looked at me blankly, and shouted: " Sir, sir, how did things become like this?"

I shook my head, since he became the master of the Luo family, he naturally didn't have to leave, and I didn't want to stay here for a moment, so I packed my things and said goodbye to Ruan Lang.He sent me to the entrance of the town, reluctantly said: "Sir, you have to come again." I agreed to him casually.

Looking at my expression, Ruan Lang also knew that what I said was perfunctory. He sighed slightly, and suddenly took something off his neck and handed it to me, saying: "Mr. Duocheng has taken care of me these days. Let’s give it to Mr. as a souvenir.”

I saw that the sign was dark, it seemed to be an iron plate, and it was not something valuable, and it was his kindness, so I took it, and after talking to him a few words, I left without looking back up.

I didn't tell him some things, he was wholeheartedly avenging his father, and finally got such a result, why should I tell him again, maybe his father deserved death at all?

Mrs. Luo said in the letter that she did not want to let him go to harm others.Thinking about it, I know, if his father is really a good person, why would he be entangled with Mrs. Luo when he has a wife and children?Mrs. Luo may have found out later that she fell in love with a gangster, and at this time he was about to leave again, so she accidentally killed him in a moment of excitement.

Even the story of "green silk knot" may be the story of Ruan Lang's father himself, who knows?
Anyway, I won't come to Luolian Town again.
