Chapter 41 The final battle

Hello, senior~

Mingyan...

Have you got up?

Well, just got up.

When will you and Mu Yu set off?

Let's go out immediately, what's wrong?

I...I'm worried about you.

It's okay, don't worry, with me here, there will be no problem.

I asked my dad yesterday and he said that in this case, Mu Yu can cut off the relationship between father and daughter.Just take your household registration book and go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Mu Yu and I also think so. We have already brought our household registration book, and now it is a matter of persuading him.

I'm very scared.That person, after all, just came out of prison... and had a history of violence.If you fail to convince one time, just say it again next time... Don't stimulate him verbally or have conflicts with him...

Well, I know.

Also, don't trust him too much.I heard that many people who are tragic do not look that fierce and are very polite to talk to others, but they are all pretending.So, you must be more careful.

Well, don't worry, I will.

Remember to tell me in time if there is any situation.

good.

Senior, I love you.

I love you too.

Must come back safely~

good.

…………

Li Zhou had a serious face, looking at the high prison exterior wall, the hard and cumbersome barbed wire on the wall, splitting the sky.

For a moment, he felt like he was locked inside, and he was suddenly panicked. He looked around and realized that he was outside and relaxed.

From the outside, you can feel majestic and depressed. It is hard to imagine what kind of mental state the people inside will be.

Of course, they deserve it.

He held Chen Muyu's hand and felt her calm pulse and temperature.Chen Muyu and him were connected with each other, as if their hearts were connected to their hearts.

After waiting in place for about ten minutes, the thick iron door of the prison finally opened and a thin black middle-aged man walked out of it.

He is not tall, about 1.7 meters tall, and his skin is very poor, like a cracked dead tree bark, without any life.

The eye sockets are deep, the forehead is narrow, the muscles on the face seem to be frozen, and the face is expressionless.

He was holding a file bag and wearing an old gray cotton coat. He looked back three times in the corridor where he left the prison, and seemed to be unable to believe that he had really come out.

Is it him?Li Zhou asked in a low voice.

Um.Chen Muyu replied in a low voice.

Chen Xuejun walked out of the corridor and saw the two people at the end of the downhill.

He slowed down and kept staring at Li Zhou and Chen Muyu. The disconfidence in his eyes became more and more, and his pace became slower and slower, until he stopped three meters away from the two men.

...Little rain?

That is Chen Muyu's nickname.

Li Zhou could feel her nervousness and hesitation. Chen Muyu's fingers twitched slightly between his fingers, as if the strings suddenly broke during the performance. She was stunned for a while before nodding her head gently.

Are you his boyfriend?Chen Xuejun turned his attention to Li Zhou again.

yes.

Chen Xuejun used the standard Guanzhong dialect, and Li Zhou's hometown is Fufeng County, which is adjacent to Mei County, so he can naturally understand it.It’s just that his voice is vicissitudes, his pronunciation is sticky, and it is mixed with many unspeakable emotions.

Oh, I look...good. Thank you for your hard work in the past few years.

It's completely different from the scene that was tense in the imagination.

Chen Xuejun started the conversation between the three almost plainly. Judging from his appearance, he didn't even recognize Mu Yu at the beginning.

Yes, when he was in prison, Chen Muyu was only fourteen years old and was just a junior high school girl. In such a living environment, she must have looked haggard.

And now she has walked into the sunshine, standing tall and graceful. Whether it is height or mental outlook, it must be very different from before.

It is normal not to recognize it.

And hatred seems to have disappeared in the past seven years.

After Chen Xuejun learned of the identities of the two, he just nodded calmly, with a few surprises flashing on his face, and then there was more sadness.It seemed that he couldn't remember at all that he had said he wanted to trouble Mu Yu before he was imprisoned.

Of course, all of this may also be his disguise.

After all, he was a murderer before.

Li Zhou took a step forward, blocking Mu Yu's body, and his tone was sincere, neither humble nor arrogant: Uncle, we are here today and want to discuss something with you.

Um?Chen Xuejun looked at him with a slow look.

We are grateful for you for raising Mu Yu for fourteen years.

oh.No, Chen Xuejun grinned, I am her father, this is what I deserve.

Mu Yu is 21 years old this year and she can have her own life.Li Zhou glanced at his black teeth, endured the nausea, and continued.

Yes, it's time to have it.Chen Xuejun nodded and agreed, still happy.

So, can you give her the right to choose freely?

Well, um, I always respect her very much. She goes wherever she wants, and I don’t stop her.Chen Xuejun said with a smile.

Li Zhou was confused. What does he mean?Did he understand, right there, um, um?

He couldn't understand.Chen Muyu shook his head, walked to Li Zhou, held his arm with both hands, let me tell you myself

Li Zhou nodded helplessly, and he overestimated this person's ability to understand.

It’s still Mu Yu who knows her biological father, so let her say it, as long as you don’t annoy him.

Chen Xuejun, let’s cut off the relationship between father and daughter.

Without paving the way or persuasion, Li Zhou's heart came directly to his throat.

Hello, this is too direct.

He tensed his nerves, his teeth nibbled his lips, and he clenched Mu Yu's hand, feeling nervous for her.

Chen Xuejun seemed to have not expected it, and he was stunned and thought about it for a long time, his expression was unpredictable.

Li Zhou kept looking at him carefully, afraid that he would do anything extraordinary. If he was so angry that he started to beat someone, Li Zhou would definitely protect Mu Yu.

In terms of fighting, he is worthy of Chen Xuejun, not to mention that there is a prison nearby, and there is a police officer here, which is very safe.

But there was no sound.

Chen Xuejun was unexpectedly quiet. His lips twitched, his neck tilted, and a few reluctance and a little regret flashed in his eyes. He sighed and said: OK, break... and break it, I didn't think you could forgive me.

This answer is also a completely unexpected surprise.

That's how he agreed?Li Zhou looked at the two of them in disbelief.

Then you... go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to sign with us?He seized the opportunity and pursued the victory.

Well, go tomorrow.

Isn't it possible today?Li Zhou was afraid that the night would be long and the dreams would be too many.

Just came out of it, I needed to ease it.Don't worry, I will not refuse to admit what I promised you.Chen Xuejun walked past the two of them in great strides, and as he walked, he stopped again.

Give me two hundred dollars.He said to Chen Muyu.

What do you want money?Li Zhou asked him.

I don’t have a penny now. You are my daughter. It’s natural to give me two hundred dollars to eat.

His tone was not kind, but he was not particularly irritable.If you think about it carefully, this requirement is not an exaggeration. If he is really willing to cut off the relationship the next day, it is totally worth giving him 200 yuan.

Li Zhou was about to agree, but then he thought, what if he took the money to buy a weapon?Money can be given, but you must be given before you break off the relationship.

Don't give it to him.Almost at the same time, Chen Muyu whispered Li Zhou’s inner thoughts, and we took him to dinner and couldn’t let him run away.

Well, I think so too.

After putting forward the conditions, Chen Xuejun agreed readily.He just got out of prison and had no relatives and was in need of help.

At noon, the three of them went to the town and ordered fast food boxed lunches in a small restaurant.

Li Zhou and Chen Muyu were unwilling to sit with him, so they sat on the tables of the two. He knew it well, so he simply squatted on the side of the road to eat with his lunch box.

While eating, I looked at the passing traffic, as if I was sighing at my destiny.

After dinner, he went to the supermarket again and asked Li Zhou to buy cigarettes, lighters, mineral water and some bulk bread for him, so he prepared to go back to the old house.

Li Zhou remembered that the house had a power outage, so he bought a few more candles and a quilt.It costs almost two hundred yuan, so he asked him to carry it back by himself.

This should be considered as the end of benevolence and righteousness.

He is less than fifty years old and has a healthy limbs and can fully support himself in the future, so he doesn't have to worry about his subsequent life.

If he doesn't ask him to be grateful and wake up suddenly, this is something that even prisoners cannot do.I just hope that this help can be exchanged for him to peacefully sever the relationship, which would be worth it.

As soon as he returned to the old house, Chen Xuejun pushed open the door and was stunned.

This is……?He said, pointing to the coffin in the room.

My mom.Chen Muyu said indifferently.

Chen Xuejun knelt down with a snap. His originally stiff face was suddenly occupied by a painful expression. His eyes were red, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes squeezed into mountains. His nose sucked down and crawled towards his wife's coffin.

Wife...I'm late...Woo...I'm the one who hurts you...I'm sorry...I'm sorry... He cried like thunder, constantly hammering his chest with his fists.

Fake, don't believe him.Chen Muyu lowered her head and said to Li Zhou.

yes.Mingyan had already told him that such people were born to act.Li Zhou was helpless and would never react in such a special way, he was doing it for others to see.

Treat people as fools.He whispered.

I was wrong, my wife... I regretted every day when I was in prison for seven years.I shouldn't have been so arrogant. I beat you... to death. I would rather die... Chen Xuejun continued to cry loudly, with his nose and tears.

Too exaggerated, right?Li Zhou really couldn't stand it anymore.

Go out and be quiet?

Um.Chen Muyu smiled, she was thinking that way.The two became more and more aligned.

They walked out of the yard and came to the hill where a river meandered.

It rained all night yesterday, the river water surged and the water became much more turbulent.

The riverbed that was about to dry out looked almost two meters deep.

The clear river water hits the rocks on both sides, stirring up snow-white waves, which is very beautiful.

There are still a few small white flowers in the cracks in the rocks.Flowers as big as palms are strong under the powerful impact of the water flow, and their vitality is very tenacious.

It was late winter and the water temperature was extremely low, so I don’t know how these flowers survived.

Li Zhou bent down, picked one from the cold river water, and gave it to Mu Yu.

Chen Muyu took it with a smile, carefully wiped off the water droplets from the flowers, and then put them in his ear.

nice.Li Zhou said with a smile.

Do you know what kind of flower this is?Chen Muyu asked with a smile.

have no idea.He knows nothing about flowers.

This is called mountain lily, which is everywhere in autumn.Some are white and some are yellow, which looks so beautiful.This flower probably missed the flowering period. It bloomed secretly two days ago. Unfortunately, it encountered a surge today and I couldn't live long.As she spoke, her expression gradually faded.

So just pick it off and put it on, so that the life of this flower will have meaning.

Chen Muyu smiled and shook her head: This is the meaning you gave it, and life itself has no meaning.

Don’t be so sad, beauty is the meaning, so give flowers to beauty, happiness is the meaning, come and laugh.

Um.Chen Muyu chuckled.

Li Zhou knew that she had so many troubles in the past two days and was moved by the scene, so she would definitely not be in a good mood, so she intended to make her happy.

Speaking of which, I seem to have heard of the mountain lily in a poem.

Xi Murong, "Like Songs"

Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes.Li Zhou especially liked to memorize these beautiful modern poems when he was in high school, but after entering university to study science and engineering, he gradually forgot everything.

What does that poem talk about?He knocked his head with some annoyance.

Chen Muyu smiled slightly and murmured softly: There must be something I can’t understand, otherwise, the plants and trees will grow in sequence, and migratory birds can fly back to their hometown.There must be something that I can do nothing, otherwise, how can day and night alternate so quickly? All the moments have been missed, and the sadness has eroded my heart.There must be something, after the leaves fall, is it the diary I had when I was sixteen years old or the beautiful secrets I had hidden all my life.

……

Li Zhou was crazy.

Chen Muyu's voice was originally like the sound of nature, and on this quiet hill, it was even more eye-catching.

She was wearing a slim long suit, with dazzling white skin, and sang Xi Murong's poems, as charming as a saint.

There was no need to lay the groundwork, he moved to hug Chen Muyu into his arms: Let's have sex tonight, right in front of your mother's coffin, let her watch us grow.

Chen Muyu's body also softened. She snuggled under Li Zhou's neck and said emotionally.

I will find an excuse to send that person away and ask him to stay in a hotel in the town, so that he will not disturb us.

Um.This is our fourth time.Chen Muyu's eyes were blurred, enjoying the hug, exhaling like orchids in his arms, and no one except his mother was shown.

Yes, no one can show it.No one can stop us.I just want to be with you.Mu Yu, I want to have everything about you.Li Zhou hugged her tightly.

You have everything about me, my love, my body, have been given to you, but you don’t know yet.

What about the future?You kept insisting on leaving, and I was scared.

That's why you don't want me anymore, so I left.As long as you want me, I will not leave.

I want you, I want you, I will always want you.

This is your commitment.

This is my promise.Never regret it.

Um.Then you have my promise. As long as you are willing, I will never leave you and will never betray you.Chen Muyu's eyes were like water, and he looked at him emotionally.

Light rain

The two were immersed in each other's unique world when a sudden abrupt voice came, dragging them back to reality.

Chen Xuejun is here.

Li Zhou and Chen Muyu separated reluctantly, and the lust in their eyes seemed to be still connected.

The two of them looked at the direction of the visitor dissatisfiedly, and they both felt that this person was coming very abnormally.

The middle-aged man stood awkwardly ten meters away, rubbed his hands that had nowhere to be placed, and said: So you are here.

What's up?Chen Muyu asked coldly.

Xiaoyu, I will sign with you tomorrow.

oh.Perhaps because he was used to hearing such false promises, Chen Muyu responded without emotion.

Then... can you call me dad again?

cannot.

You haven't forgiven me yet?Yes, it’s me that’s not good,... I beg you, the father-daughter relationship between us for so many years.

Is there something like this between us?

I, I am not good at expressing... I am not very educated... But I really love you and my mother very much... I have always kept it in my heart, ashamed to tell you... But even when the superior hits you, my own heart hurts.Chen Xuejun said anxiously.

fraud.

Really, Dad didn't lie to you.

If you dare to say those two words again, I will set fire to your house.Chen Muyu said viciously.

No, no, light rain.I was wrong, uncle was wrong... Chen Xuejun raised his hands to his shoulders and expressed his surrender. He smiled and said, "I just thought about it. In the past two days, we will take turns to keep your mother in peace and let her be buried. Is this okay?"

This is like a human word.

Li Zhou and Chen Muyu looked at each other and felt that it was necessary to keep their mother's coffin here anymore, because after today, they would not come back.

And keeping a soul to Mu Yu's mother is just the excuse to send Chen Xuejun away to complete the fourth sex between the two.

After confirming Li Zhou's eyes, Chen Muyu nodded.

Xiaoyu, then today, are you going to keep a soul?Just so happens, I have something to say to your boyfriend.

Chen Muyu looked up at Li Zhou.

Li Zhou gave her a reassuring hug: Go, it's okay.I happened to help him find a place to stay in the town.

Don't believe him, he is full of lies, and don't reveal his identity.Chen Muyu whispered.

After Chen Muyu left, Chen Xuejun came to the river bank: Let’s talk while walking?

Li Zhougang and Chen Muyu confirmed their feelings and were in a very happy mood.In addition, what Chen Xuejun said just now is very sincere. Even if he pretends, he cannot create negative emotions.

He simply treated him like a normal stranger.

Young Master, what's your name?

Just call me...the little boat.Li Zhou didn't want to tell him his identity so as not to cause trouble, and Mu Yu told him not to be exposed, but he couldn't think of a suitable fake name for a while, so he used the method that Professor Han often called him perfunctorily.

The surname is Zhou Ah...Xiao Zhou, how long have you known Xiaoyu?

Humph, do you want to make a cliché?Li Zhou smiled contemptuously. He didn't like lying, but he might not need to tell the truth to such a person. It's been three years.He counted based on Chen Muyu's college age.

Are you college classmates?

Well, that's true.

Not bad.Xiao Zhou, you can only look at talented people, and Xiaoyu will be relieved to follow you.

Li Zhou nodded, did not answer the conversation, and could not find a suitable topic.

The two of them walked and chatted, and walked slowly to a high hill along the direction of the hillside.The terrain here is higher and the water flows are faster.

Do you think we want to leave a contact information?It doesn’t matter if Xiaoyu doesn’t recognize me, but I still think she is my daughter. If you need my help, I will be there anytime.

This...no need.

Li Zhou looked at Chen Xuejun with a puzzled look on his face. He had cut off his relationship, so why did he leave contact information?

The middle-aged man looked at the river with his face, leaving Li Zhou with a side face. Something terrible flashed in his eyes and disappeared quickly. He immediately smiled awkwardly: Yes, I just came out and didn't even buy my phone, so I couldn't keep the phone even if I wanted to.

There was another silence. Li Zhou had already thought about it. He only answered this kind of awkward chat and did not take the initiative to ask questions.

How is your family background?Chen Xuejun asked again.

Uh, average.

It doesn’t matter if your family is average. If you are young, you will have hope, unlike me...

The uncle is not old either.Li Zhou said politely and smiled politely.

I?I can't do it anymore. It looks normal, but my body is covered with diseases.Just like this river, there is so much water now, it just looks back and dies without rain for a few weeks.

No.Li Zhou continued to speak perfunctorily.

Chen Xuejun suddenly turned his head and looked at him straight: Do you know where this river leads to?

have no idea.

When I was young, I walked along the river and walked very far before I came back.I don't know the end of it, but I know, where it disappears.

where?

The Wild Man Valley, which is deserted and is a good place to live in seclusion.

oh.Li Zhou was interested. Was he hinting that he wanted to live in seclusion?

Further deeper, there is the Qinling Mountains, which is the real primeval forest. Every tree is as thick as a pot.If someone died there, they might never be discovered.Chen Xuejun suddenly showed a gloomy smile and his black and yellow teeth made people shudder.

What's the meaning?Li Zhou was stunned.

Go and die!

Chen Xuejun suddenly had a ferocious face and pushed his hands towards Li Zhou.

Fortunately, Li Zhou has always been on guard against him and is not too close to the river bank.In addition, his body is much stronger than that of Chen Xuejun, who is thin, so he will not be pushed into the river at once.

Now the river water is close to zero and the cold is biting. When Li Zhou picked flowers just now, he felt that if he fell down, he would almost die.

You are indeed pretending.Li Zhou leaned against the river bank and clamped his hands with both hands.

After a sneak attack failed, Chen Xuejun was still resolute and tried hard to push Li Zhou down.

I have raised her for fourteen years, eating mine and wearing mine. I have not yet given me a care for my old age and seeing off my death, so I want to leave now?No way!

You killed her mother and still want to take revenge on her?

Yes, I killed that woman, but I was accidentally, and I didn't expect her to die.He had no regrets on his face, as if he had beaten to death, but was just a pet. I admit, I was not a good person.Is she the case?I am her dad!She could save me, but she sent me in!What's the use of keeping such an unfilial daughter?Ah?You said Ah!

New and old hatreds surged into my heart, Chen Xuejun roared, his limbs bulged deeply, and the soles of his feet were directly trapped in the soil.

Only then did Li Zhou realize that this person is terrible.

When he was calm, he was no different from ordinary people. Once he went crazy, he would be completely desperate. He pushed hard like this, even if others fell, he would not be able to escape.

It's completely a practice of dying together.

You should be shot to death!

Li Zhou found the right time, let go of his hand, and flashed to the side. Chen Xuejun had no time to react. Because of inertia, his whole body rushed forward and fell to the ground. Half of his body had already poked out of the river, but it did not fall. Li Zhou immediately took out his cell phone and prepared to call the police.

However, Chen Xuejun moved faster. He grabbed the sand on the river bank and sprinkled it on Li Zhou's face.

Li Zhou was caught off guard, and then felt that the soles of his feet were firmly grasped. He lost his center of gravity and fell backwards. It was Chen Xuejun who grabbed one of his ankles.

The man rolled down, fell into the riverbed, and fell into the river with Li Zhou.

At the critical moment, Li Zhou grabbed a vine on the riverbed and did not completely fall into the water.

But when water enters your feet, your shoes are instantly wet by the cold river water. The biting cold comes along the soles of your feet and spreads to all parts of your body.

He immediately lifted his feet, clamped the vine with both hands and arms, and kept his bow and legs closed.

A pile of gravel rolled down from the top of his head, passing by, and the Xiaomi phone he had bought was all sinking to the bottom of the river.

Damn, I can't die!Chen Xuejun on the side laughed.His terrain was lower than that of Li Zhou and he also grabbed a few vines.

The two suddenly realized at the same time that this was the same vine.These thick and sturdy plants plunged deep into a huge rock crack in the riverbed.

The exposed part of the rock is almost the size of a half-baby car, and there are many thick vines growing beside it.

Li Zhou and Chen Xuejun hung on both ends of the rock, and the turbulent river water flowed through the bottom of their feet. The two of them fell into a stalemate through the rock.

At this time, no one dared to let go, because once he let go, he would fall into the cold river water and die.

Li Zhou wanted to climb up with the vines, so Chen Xuejun kicked the rock and soil under Li Zhou's feet, so that he had no place to stand on his feet and could not use his strength.

At this time, the two of them sank at the same time, and the rock actually loosened.

It can't bear the weight of two people!

Someone must fall first before another person can survive.Li Zhou instantly understood the situation, so he kicked the stone, trying to drive Chen Xuejun down.

But several encounters were not hit.The strength in his hands became much smaller, and hot sweat oozed out of his palms, and the vines became smoother and smoother.

what to do?what to do?

At this critical moment, a figure appeared above his head.

Mu Yu?Li Zhou exclaimed, she didn't go far, and she rushed over when she heard the movement.

That's great. As long as she drives Chen Xuejun down, I still have a chance to survive...

It's just that she... needs to choose between her biological father and me...

This will bear a lot of moral pressure...

Li Zhou looked up and suddenly became desperate and shouted: Don’t come here, it’s very dangerous.

The rocks had already exposed deep gaps, and the black wet soil was like a huge wound, presenting in front of everyone.

This is not a matter of choosing one, she can't save anyone.

The soil here is soft and the rocks may fall down at any time. If she comes over and stands on it, she will only lose her balance and roll down with the stones.

Li Zhou could only save himself.

Chen Xuejun seemed to have not seen this yet. He was still worried that his daughter would attack him and said gently: Xiaoyu, save me quickly. Your boyfriend pushed me down. You save me and I will treat you well in the future.

This evil thief, the evil person complains first.

Chen Muyu shook her head expressionlessly, obviously not believing it.

Xiaoyu, we have known each other for fourteen years, don’t you believe me?No matter how old you grow, you only have one dad, and your boyfriend can be changed.

let it go.Chen Muyu interrupted him softly.

Little bitch.Chen Xuejun spat hard, "You are a big bitch, you are a little bitch, I've been ruined by you two for the rest of my life."No one can die a good death!

oh.

Damn, I won’t let go, I’m going to die together.If you dare to throw a stone at me, I will hold him and fall down.

Chen Xuejun completely tore his face and said all kinds of swear words.

Chen Muyu was not angry at all. She smiled and said a very plain sentence: Chen Xuejun, you don’t seem to know my boyfriend’s name yet.

What is she doing?Li Zhou looked at her in surprise.

Chen Xuejun also frowned: His surname is Zhou...

No, his name is Li Zhou.

Chen Xuejun's face changed drastically in an instant. He was completely stunned. He looked at Li Zhou in disbelief, as if he had seen the most incredible person in the world.

His eyes were staring at Li Zhou's face, as if he was about to see the shadow of something from him, and his pupils were almost bursting out of fire.

It turned out to be you.Chen Xuejun shouted in dismay.

The violent emotions hit his mind, and he no longer had the energy to distribute to his wrist.

As soon as he finished speaking, he lost all his strength, let go of his hand, and fell into the river in despair.

With a plop, a huge splash of water splashed and was washed away by the surging river water.

After struggling by the cliff, he almost exhausted all his strength. After falling into the cold river, he rose and fell on the water for a few times, and then there was no movement. He rushed to the place where he had been when he was young.

Li Zhou didn't have much strength left anymore. He couldn't figure out what was going on, but looking at Chen Muyu's worried look, looking at her hurriedly running over, and looking at the huge rocks that were about to fall, he only knew that it was time to give up.

Mu Yu, I love you.

He also let go of his hand and then fell into the river.
