At first, Xiao Tan's cries for help could be heard intermittently from the direction of the back door.
Lao Liu was heartbroken, but he suffered a heavy blow to the head, which made him weak. He could only lie on the ground and grab Monk Tian's ankle with one hand, while screaming at Xiao Tan to run away.
Monk Tian shouted "Don't call the police" and asked Lao Liu to let go immediately. He would not hurt Xiao Tan. It would be really dangerous for Xiao Tan if he didn't let go.
Lao Liu didn't believe it. Shi Ji knocked him out with an iron rod, but it also knocked him sober. Let’s not talk about your intentions, Monk Tian, for hiding a fugitive in the temple. First, you watched the fugitive beat me like a puddle of mud. At this juncture, you still said that you can’t call the police. Can I believe that you will save Xiao Tan? ? Might as well believe that sows can climb trees.
Just like this moment of delay, Xiao Tan's shouts from the back door became weaker and weaker, and finally became as silent as death.
Soon, Shi Ji, whose eyes were full of murderous intent, reappeared in the yard.
When Lao Liu saw Shi Ji, he knew that Xiao Tan was in serious danger.
Lao Liu was still holding Monk Tian's ankle with one hand, and tears fell from the corners of his eyes. He suddenly said: "Old Tian, if Xiao Tan has any shortcomings, you can kill me too. Otherwise, I will definitely kill you." , and him."
There is no doubt that the "he" Lao Liu mentioned was Shiji.
If Xiao Tan dies, Lao Liu has no intention of living.
Shi Ji stood aside and said calmly: "She is dead."
Lao Liu suddenly felt that the last bit of strength in his hand was gone, so he let go.
Monk Tian quickly got up, cursed at Shi Ji, and crawled out of the back door. When he saw Xiao Tan lying on the ground, he was indeed dead.
Monk Tian walked back into the courtyard. When he saw Shi Ji who was calm and calm, he couldn't help but get angry. He raised his leg and kicked him a few times. Shi Ji always stood motionless on the spot. Not only did he not fight back, the murderous aura in his eyes disappeared, and there was even a hint of a faint smile hanging in the corner of his eyes.
Monk Tian's motivation for beating him was completely different from Wen Da's motivation for beating him. Not only was he not unhappy at all with Monk Tian's move, he even inexplicably felt a slight warmth rising in his heart.
Lao Liu looked at the two of them and suddenly snorted coldly: "Lao Tian, please kill me. Otherwise, when I kill you in the future, I will have to hesitate whether to return the food I ate from you."
After a pause, he added: "This matter can't be solved. Kill me quickly while I can't move."
Monk Tian lamented again and again, and then said a few words, "Why is this happening?"
Shi Ji also said: "This man can't be kept. If you don't do it, I'll do it."
As he said that, he made a gesture to pick up the iron rod on the ground.
However, Monk Tian pushed him away and scolded him angrily: "You should have some virtue."
Shi Ji laughed "hehe" a few times, but was not angry and still stood aside.
Monk Tian squatted down, put his face as close to Lao Liu's face as possible, and then tried to make a last effort: "A life for a life. Kill me after you recover, and you don't have to pay back the food you owe me, but you have to How about letting Xiao Shi go but not calling the police?"
Lao Liu looked at Monk Tian with his eyes wide open, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. He couldn't help laughing, even crying.
Finally, Lao Liu stopped laughing and closed his eyes: "Lao Tian, hurry up, do it, let me find Xiao Tan."
This is nothing to talk about.
After Monk Tian stood up, he also felt that his "suggestion" was a bit whimsical.
Now that the matter has come to this, the only option is to silence Lao Liu.
Monk Tian wanted to pick up the iron rod on the ground, but saw blood stains everywhere on the rod, and he retracted his outstretched hand. He glanced around the courtyard and saw an arm-thick wooden stick leaning against the wall, so he walked over and took the stick in his hand.
Finally, Monk Tian held sticks in both hands and stood on the ground to the left of Lao Liu's head. He made some gestures and felt that standing in this position made it very smooth for his right hand to exert force, so he muttered:
"Lao Liu, there is nothing we can do. Since you also said there is nothing we can do better, I can only send you to see Xiao Tan."
"I'm so verbose..."
As soon as Lao Liu finished his sentence, he felt a heavy blow on his head, and then his vision went black... read by La
Endless darkness came like a tidal wave. Suddenly, the darkness was torn apart and light came. In the dazzling light, Lao Liu seemed to see a graceful figure, smiling sweetly at him...
Monk Tian waved the wooden stick and hit the same position on Lao Liu's head several times. Suddenly he stopped and said to Shi Ji, "Go dig a hole and bury them all. Let’s run away together again.”
Shi Ji smiled and said "Okay", then took the shovel from the courtyard to the back door. Soon, the sound of shovel shoveling was heard from outside the back door.
Fighting tiger brothers, killing "father and son" soldiers. Monk Tian and Shi Ji took it personally and explained this point with practical actions.
After Monk Tian rested for a while, he picked up the stick and hit Lao Liu on the head again and again until Lao Liu stopped moving at all.
After confirming that Lao Liu was dead, Monk Tian dragged Lao Liu's body toward the back door (the blood stains on his body actually formed at this time). After only dragging it for a few meters, he heard the sound of shoveling the ground outside the back door stopped.
Monk Tian went out to take a look and saw Shi Ji leaning his shovel against the wall while standing aside smoking.
"What are you doing? Why are you still working as a foreigner? Hurry up and dig a hole to bury them all. Let's pack up our things and run away." Monk Tian said angrily.
Shi Ji remained motionless. After exhaling a puff of smoke, he said slowly, "I suddenly thought that we can't leave together."
"What do you mean?" Monk Tian was confused.
"They were all killed in your temple. Even if we buried these two bodies, the police could not find them in a short time. But when they disappeared, you also disappeared suddenly. That old man often went here again. Run. Once the police investigate, they will naturally associate it with you. So, you can't run, at least we can't run together."
After Shi Ji took a puff of cigarette, he continued: "Only you know my whereabouts now. If we run away together, the police will track you because of their deaths, and in the end they will most likely arrest me too. Let's run away together." The road is too dangerous."
Monk Tian reacted: "Then let's run away separately?"
Shi Ji still spoke calmly: "If I run separately, I am sure that the police will not find me. After all, I am an identityless person in this country. If the police want to use big data to track me, it is completely unfeasible. But ,And you?"
"You are so old and have limited mobility. You probably have no experience in evading police tracking techniques. How long can you escape alone?"
Monk Tian thought about it and thought that what Shi Ji said was reasonable, but he thought that Shi Ji was worried that he would reveal his whereabouts after being arrested, so he said: "Don't worry, even if I fall into the hands of the police, I won’t say that you stayed at Lotus Temple, let alone that you were involved in the deaths of Lao Liu and Xiao Tan.”
The implication of Tian Monk's words is that once he is caught by the police, he will bear all the responsibility for the murder of Lao Liu and Xiao Tan, so as to continue to conceal Shi Ji's traces.
Shi Ji spread his hands, still looking calm: "If that's the case, then why are you still running? Isn't this unnecessary? Why not just call the police and surrender, and maybe you can get a leniency?"
Monk Tian was stunned for a moment, and finally understood Shi Ji's "wishful thinking." Although what Shi Ji said made sense, he inevitably felt a little uncomfortable.
Shi Ji also saw his unhappiness, but didn't take it seriously: "Help people to the end and send the Buddha to the west. Since you knew clearly that I was carrying a human life, you still kept me in the temple to recuperate, and now you are killing me because of me." If you kill someone, why don't you go ahead and turn yourself in to the police and say that you killed them all?"
"You only need to insist that Lao Liu drank too much and went crazy in the temple. He first killed Xiao Tan and then tried to kill you. You accidentally killed Lao Liu in self-defense. According to Lao Liu's usual behavior that is disgusting to everyone, there is no way People will doubt what you say. Maybe they can decide that you acted in self-defense and be acquitted."
Then, Shi Ji changed the topic again: "I also thought about providing for you in old age, but I don't have such conditions and abilities. Just now, it suddenly occurred to me that the conditions in prison are much better than this ruined temple."
"You are
The morning when Lu Meng reported to the Central Academy Orchestra on her first day, she got up quite early.
Lifting the curtain and taking a look, Tingyu was sitting on the sofa in the main room with his elbows on his knees, hunched over, taking off his glasses and rubbing the corners of his eyes. Lu Meng was startled, "Why don't you go to bed to sleep?" He said yesterday I didn’t reply late. I sent a text message saying that I had another meeting very late.
When Tingyu saw her coming out, he quickly stood up and walked to the table, "I brought you breakfast, eat it while it's hot."
Lu Meng looked at him, "You just got home."
Tingyu brought out the hot beef noodles and said, "Well, I'll take you to the band in a while." Tingyu didn't say that the meeting wasn't over yet. He would take the time to come back anyway. After all, today is Mengmeng's first day. work.
Lu Meng, however, thought of how hard he had worked so hard, so he came over and took out breakfast with him, "You don't have to rush back. It would be great if you could take a rest during this free time."
Ting Yu smiled, "It's okay, I've made arrangements. I'll come back and take a nap after I take you to work."
"Yeah." After having breakfast together, Tingyu rode her little electric car to the Central Academy Orchestra. Tingyu didn't go in, so he waved to Xiaolu, "You go, I'll take some food back while walking to the market. .”
Lu Meng nodded, "Get some sleep!"
"I know." The couple separated.
When Lu Meng arrived, except for a few core directors in the group who knew her origins, everything went through the normal procedures, reporting in, being assigned to specific positions, meeting colleagues, including knowing their schedules, and performance arrangements... It took half a day to go back and forth.
Lu Meng was actually still banging the triangle. Since the normal procedure was followed, the group still had to test her sense of music. A small rehearsal was arranged for her to participate tomorrow. Lu Meng took out the music score and had to actively prepare for it.
Soon it was lunch time, and Lu Meng went to the cafeteria. She heard that the food was good, so she wanted to try it out. If it was really good, she would settle most of her problems in the cafeteria if Tingyu was not at home. It would be easy to do anything by herself.
At first glance, oh, it's really good. I didn't say "everything is available". As far as "home-cooked dishes" are concerned, each one looks "complete with color, flavor and taste". Lu Meng played a few things she liked and found a seat to sit down.
Only then did he move his chopsticks.
There was also a person sitting opposite,
Lu Meng glanced at him and continued to eat with chopsticks without any abnormality.
After taking a sip of the soup and putting down the bowl, Lu Meng was twisting the vegetables again and said slowly, "You look so polite, I'm afraid a girl from behind will follow you."
The other party seemed to be obediently taking the rice into his mouth and smiling, "I'm being honest. Besides, the persona is a genius and very dull. No girl would follow suit." The knee of the leg under the table touched her knee, "Here, Yun Yan, Last time you said it tasted good, so I made some more."
Lu Meng took down one hand, took the two packs of cigarettes he handed from under the table, and put them directly into his coat pocket, "Tsk, the smell is good, but the smell is too strong and I can't get it off my body."
He seemed to be carelessly twisting the fish bones in his chopsticks, "Okay, let's change it again. Yes, let's change the taste. Nowadays, niche tobacco is doing really well. By the way, Mengmeng, although this Central Academy Orchestra belongs to a different team, it is not Everyone has Yun status, so they don’t need to wear Yun uniforms. Do you want to buy a few more sets of clothes?"
Mengmeng shook her head, "There's no need for this at the moment. I'm used to wearing prison uniforms and uniforms now. It's good. It saves money." She took two more sips of soup, put down the bowl again, lowered her eyes, but her expression became more serious. "Have the prices of those houses been negotiated?"
He also took a sip of the soup and seemed to pick out the fish bones with his chopsticks again. "The price is actually not an issue. We paid a lot. What the other party hesitated about was that the land rights belonged to Yunnan. It was not easy to trade in the first place, and we were from China." They all came because he thought our background was weak and he was afraid we would be in trouble after the deal."
Mengmeng sighed softly, "It seems that Jiang Xingwan is right. It is not easy for Lu An to buy the land in Dadu. It is really difficult for people from Zhongdu to settle in Dadu."
"It's okay, let's take it slow. That person is in urgent need of money, and one day he will let go."
Mengmeng pouted a little, "If I hadn't thought it was in a good location, why would I have spent so many days with him..."
"Yeah, I'll settle down once I think about it. It's just a matter of more days. Besides, the new season of art exams for junior primary school students hasn't started yet, so we can hurry up and get it done before it starts..."
We are all alone here, and no one cares about minor illnesses or disasters. Prisons are different. There are enough meals and air-conditioning. It is crowded and lively. When nothing happens, everyone gets together to tell jokes and brag. Life is pretty good. "
"I also know that these words don't sound good. But good medicine is bitter to the mouth and good to the disease, and good advice is bad to the ears and good to the deed. Only by surrendering yourself can you really be good to me and yourself."
Monk Tian felt very uncomfortable, but when he heard Shi Ji say, "I have thought about providing for you in old age," even though he knew that this statement was probably untrue, he could still make sense of it. In any case, Shi Ji's words left Tian Heshang unable to refute, and they actually sounded quite reasonable.
Then I thought about it, my own son Xiao Wu, wasn't he a selfish person who only thought about himself since he was a child? If Xiao Wu had a father named Tian Monk in his heart, he wouldn't have just left a letter and then walked away, nor would he have heard anything from him afterwards.
This Shiji really looks like Xiao Wu.
Monk Tian suddenly laughed so hard that he burst into tears, but then he asked, "If I don't surrender and say that I killed everyone, will you also silence me?"
After Shi Ji extremely thought about it for a moment, he said: "This is indeed the best way, but I can't do it. I don't have to force you to do it. I just think from a rational point of view. This is the only way you can do it." It’s in your best interest and my best interest.”
Finally, Shi Ji put out the cigarette butt: "I will make a suggestion. It's up to you whether you do it or not. Don't worry, I won't do anything to you, but I certainly can't run away with you. It doesn't matter whether the body is buried or not. Meaning, Lao Liu often runs here, and the police will find it sooner or later."
