Chapter 53
Gu Su had always naively thought that Lin Yichun's birthday party should be just to find a bigger hotel, and then end with a banquet. Maybe it would be a little more grand than ordinary banquets, but he didn't expect it to be that grand.
Fu Yan and Fu Zongming spent a whole day at home and changed into the dresses that Gu Xinming carefully selected for them before going downstairs.
Gu Su was sitting on the sofa wearing regular clothes, and saw Fu Zongming wearing a tailor-made suit. It was well-made and could be seen at a glance. It was neither tight nor had redundant fabrics, making his figure tall and slender.
Fu Zongming slightly lowered his head to adjust the sapphire cufflinks on the cuffs of the shirt. The shirt has French cuffs. This kind of cuffs are two inner layers facing each other and then fixed with cufflinks. He seems to be a little unskilled in operating with one hand, staring at the sleeves with a serious face and a slight frown Frown, looks calm and introverted.
Usually Fu Zongming also wears a suit, maybe because of his different state, but now he looks very attractive.Those serious eyes suddenly glanced over and fixed on Gu Su's face. He walked over step by step with steady steps, and then stretched his hands straight in front of Gu Su: "Xiao Su, help me."
Gu Su couldn't help laughing, while adjusting the cuff buttons for him, he felt that Fu Zongming could still scare people, provided he didn't speak.
Aunt Qiong also brought Gu Su a new dress, Gu Su waved his hand and refused a few words, Gu Xinming tied Fu Yan's tie, walked over to look him up and down, and smiled: "It's up to you, how comfortable you are How come."
It was still early when everything was ready, just after nine o'clock, Gu Xinming checked the time and decided to set off immediately.Today's car was replaced with a longer one, with double-row seats inside. Gu Xinming and Fu Yan sat in the front row, and let the two juniors sit in the back row.
The driver of the Fu family, Liu Guohong, was driving the car and seemed to be leaving the city. Gu Su belatedly asked, "Where is the banquet venue? Isn't it in the city?"
Fu Zongming turned his face sideways, and said seriously: "You look like this, it's not an exaggeration to be kidnapped someday."
Gu Su retorted in a low voice: "This is called trust. I want you to follow me, and you won't come if you don't tell me where you are going?"
The corner of Fu Zongming's mouth curled up, and he replied in a low voice: "No, no, I will go wherever you want me to go."
Thinking something was wrong, Gu Su said, "I didn't mean that, I just emphasized that this is a sign of trust."
Fu Zongming nodded: "Well, I trust you too."
Gu Su: "..."
"What are you holding?" Fu Zongming looked curiously at the gift bag in his hand.
"That's a gift for Yichun." Gu Su opened the bag a little, "It's a talisman I painted with my own hands. Although it's not a valuable thing, it's still a wish. And you, what gift did you prepare?"
Fu Zongming's face was unpredictable, and he looked forward: "That's a secret."
Since he didn't say anything, Gu Su nodded and stopped asking, since it wasn't for him anyway.Even if it was for him, then there's no need to ask, you'll know sooner or later.
Gu Xinming glanced at Fu Yan, how could she not know about her son?Absolutely no presents at all.She straightened the corners of her upturned mouth, and the wrinkles tended to increase recently, so she still had to control her expression.
It was nearly 11:30 when we arrived at the banquet venue. Lin Yichun’s birthday banquet was held at a hot spring villa in the suburbs. The villa is a private property. Although it is also listed for business, it is not open to the public. There were no more than ten people, Fu Yan and Gu Xinming had been invited once before, but Fu Zongming had never been.
Being far away from the urban area also means being far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The hot spring villa is surrounded by vibrant sounds. In addition to the crisp birdsong, it seems that you can also hear the low "boom" sound. It is a place not far behind the villa. Fall.The waterfall is about 15 meters wide, hanging on the cliff, flying down tens of meters, converging into a pool, and then flowing to the main river.
A long time ago, someone laid a stone road around the waterfall, but it fell into disrepair for a long time, and the owner of the villa seemed not willing to let others get close to the waterfall, so he didn't repair it, leaving the stone road incomplete.
The receptionist and guide stood at the gate of the villa, and Lin Yichun was also standing there, as if waiting for someone.
She wore a smoky gray tube top dress today, because she was standing outside the court, and she wore a coat over the dress.The lining of the long skirt is light blue, with a little color showing through the smoky gray gauze, which looks elegant and soft without being dull.Her long hair is braided behind her head, and small but delicate hair combs made of pearls and gray crystals are inserted behind her ears, and she wears a matching crystal pendant around her slender neck.
When Gu Su and his entourage arrived, Lin Yichun's parents also came over. Fu Yan and Gu Xinming took the two children to say hello, and let the juniors go to play by themselves.Lin Yichun kept smiling the whole time, and waited until the elders walked away before rubbing his face, and ran to Gu Su's side with a smile: "Xiao Su is hungry, I'll take you to eat."
Fu Zongming stretched out his hand to stop him empty-handedly: "Please respect yourself, don't let others see you."
Lin Yichun raised his eyebrows: "What are you doing!"
"Don't flirt with other men at a blind date meeting. If you are seen like this, you will easily lose your potential partner." Fu Zongming pulled Gu Su closer to him, and said solemnly.
You can be a person!Lin Yichun gritted his teeth: "I don't know any potential partners, I only know that you will lose me if you do this!"
Fu Zongming looked at her quietly, put his arms around Gu Su's shoulders, and smiled inexplicably.
Gu Su suddenly remembered that there was something he hadn't brought out: "Yichun, I have something for you."
He lowered his head and took out three red flannel bags from the gift bag. Two of the three bags were sealed with bright yellow silk thread, and the other was sealed with black silk thread.
"These two bags contain amulets. One is for you, and the other is for your grandma, as you said earlier that you wanted to ask for an amulet for your grandma. The material of the amulet is special, so its effect is stronger than that of ordinary amulets. It can drive away ghosts. It is very effective to ward off evil spirits and keep you safe." Gu Su handed two amulets to her, and Lin Yichun received the third one, but Gu Su looked a little hesitant, "I think you may not need this , but just in case, you still accept it and keep it safe.”
Lin Yichun asked curiously: "What is this?" She looked at Gu Su, pinching the mouth of the bag unconsciously, and wanted to open it, but Gu Su stopped him: "This can't be opened easily, it's for you when you meet. It’s for emergency use when the evil spirits can’t escape, and you must not open it if there is nothing wrong.”
What is in this bag, but he refused to say, only repeatedly emphasized that it cannot be opened casually, and terrible things will happen if it is opened.
Lin Yichun swallowed his saliva, carefully grasped the bag tightly, and tried to return it to Gu Su: "Then I still don't want it."
Gu Su stared at her very seriously: "I'm going back tomorrow, just in case, this is the last guarantee I leave for you, accept it."
Lin Yichun was slightly stunned, and put away the three small bags: "Are you leaving tomorrow?" She quickly raised her smile again, "It's okay, you can come over to play again in the future."
Although he controlled his expression, but his mood became depressed, Lin Yichun quickly changed the subject and looked at Fu Zongming, "What gift did you prepare for me?"
Fu Zongming's back was stiff, and he took out a check book very imposingly, tore off one and handed it to Lin Yichun: "I have already signed the name, and you can fill in the number as you like."
ah!Lin Yichun clenched his hands and narrowed his eyes: Fu Zongming, you dog.
Fu Zongming shook the check on his fingertips, with a vague dislike on his face: "Hurry up and take it."
Lin Yichun was so angry that he wanted to hit someone: "I don't want it! You save yourself to buy candy! Xiao Su, let's go... Xiao Su, what are you looking at?"
Gu Su turned around, and with an ah, saw the check in Fu Zongming's hand, and recalled that he seemed to be talking about the gift before he was distracted: "Yichun, just take it, this is also..." He seemed to realize Knowing what it was, he swallowed back the last half of the sentence "his heart", and looked at Fu Zongming inexplicably.
Fu Zongming confidently put the check back into his pocket, noticing that he was distracted, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Gu Su said: "It's nothing, I just saw Cui Lifei and his girlfriend."
And the black and white impermanence following them.
Fu Zongming just looked at him with worry in his eyes, Gu Su shook his head: "But that has nothing to do with me."
The luncheon looked very sumptuous. Gu Su ate every mouthful. He never took his eyes off Black and White Wuchang who looked up at the sky and pretended not to see him. The pair of partners put on their sunglasses tacitly and turned around side by side. go.
In fact, since the luncheon, every mouthful of food he took was cold, and his sense of taste was so cold that he lost his sense of taste. Eating it in his mouth was like chewing cold wax.Gu Su stopped chewing and looked at the dinner plate in his hand, a shrimp that had been bitten off in half, still warm and steaming.
Without changing his expression, he ate the remaining half of the shrimp into his mouth, chewed it up and swallowed it, and said to Zong Ming with a smile, "I'm full."
Fu Zongming kept paying attention to him. He obviously only ate half a piece of grilled sausage and two shrimps the whole time. How could he be full?Fu Zongming leaned closer to his ear: "Not to your liking? Wait a little longer, go back and let Aunt Qiong make your favorite food."
Gu Su nodded: "Okay, I'll wait here."
Cui Lifei and his girlfriend Tang Ying were sitting within sight of Gu Su. After the luncheon was over, he saw Tang Ying getting up with her bag and walking towards the toilet. After 5 minutes, Cui Lifei took out his mobile phone, then changed his face and left the table in a hurry.
Gu Su picked up the water glass and took a sip of the boiled water. Black and White Wuchang looked over, but this time Gu Su looked away and pretended not to see it.He sat firmly in his seat, and he didn't have the slightest intention to follow up.
Cui Lifei received a text message, the content of which was very simple: Come to the waterfall, you are alone, I will wait for you.The sender was Tang Ying, but he realized right away that it was not some flirty text message, something happened to Tang Ying.
He didn't know which way the waterfall should go. This was his first time here, and he could only enter with Tang Ying's invitation letter.
He was suddenly flustered. He had never had such a strong sense of panic since he was a child. He knew everything in his mind. He didn't care about losing anything in exchange for what he wanted... But Tang Ying couldn't, they were going to get married soon , he will soon have a complete family, in the house he bought with money, a family of three.
He hurriedly ran towards the place where the sound of the waterfall came from, and bumped into a woman in a hurry, he apologized in a hurry: "I'm sorry."
Lin Yichun, who was knocked into a stagger, saw Cui Lifei running away before he could speak.
There must be something!Lin Yichun clapped her hands and took a step towards the restaurant. She wanted to tell Gu Su, but Cui Lifei quickly disappeared, and she would definitely not be able to keep up when she told others. No!
Lin Yichun gritted his teeth, took out his mobile phone from his bag to call Gu Su, and quickly followed.
The call was connected quickly, and Lin Yichun said excitedly: "Xiao Su! I saw Cui Li fly to the waterfall, there must be something wrong with him!"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and Aunt Qiong's probing voice came: "Is this Miss Lin?"
Lin Yichun almost looked up to the sky and screamed, he didn't bring his mobile phone at such a critical moment!She saw Cui Lifei's back, and was afraid that her voice would disturb him, so she quickly said, "Aunt Qiong is me, please contact brother Zong Ming and tell him that I went to the waterfall behind the villa, and ask him to tell Xiao Su, thank you. "
Aunt Qiong responded a few times, trying to take notes of what needed to be conveyed, but the other party hung up immediately.She was a little old, and Lin Yichun spoke quickly again. She managed to figure it out, and then started to call Fu Zongming.
Lin Yichun followed Cui Lifei all the way, but she could see the other person's figure from a distance, and she didn't dare to get too close.Cui Lifei was not familiar with the roads here, he just walked among gravels and bushes, Lin Yichun was thankful that he didn't wear high heels, but at the same time he was so tired that he wished he could rush up to show him the way!
Fortunately, he has a good sense of direction, and actually found the bluestone road for him according to the sound. Lin Yichun didn't dare to follow, but just huddled in the bushes and watched secretly. Wouldn't he have nothing to hide when he went to the bluestone road?
At the end of the Qingshiban road is a platform of only two or three square meters. Looking from Lin Yichun, one can only see a woman sitting on it.It was only when Cui Lifei ran up the platform to touch the woman that Lin Yichun realized that the woman was tied up. Cui Lifei swiftly untied the rope, helped the woman to stand up, and ran down together.
Lin Yichun breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that he came to save people, and it's good that he succeeded in saving people.Just weird, who did it?Does anyone have any grudge against Cui Lifei?
"Miss Lin, stand up."
A deep and vicissitudes of life sounded behind Lin Yichun, the sudden sound made her hair stand on end, her heartbeat slowed down by a beat, and after a second of relaxation, it started beating violently.
She turned her head slowly, and the other party did not hide it. Behind the black muzzle of the gun was a familiar face that frightened her——Tian Jixiao.
"Get out, and go up the steps."
Lin Yichun's hands and legs were trembling, barely moving his feet, and stood on the steps, and the fleeing pair of mandarin ducks also came to her in a few steps.Both of them were taken aback by Lin Yichun's sudden appearance, and Cui Lifei blocked Tang Ying like a conditioned reflex. The tears on Tang Ying's face were not yet dry, but when she saw someone appearing suddenly, the tears fell again.
Lin Yichun also wants to cry now, but she is too tense and afraid that she is like a clock that has stopped pendulum, none of the joints can function normally, and even the lacrimal glands have forgotten what normal work is like.
Tian Jixiao stood at the bottom of the stone steps and pointed his gun at them: "There are three of you, and I only have one gun, so I may not be able to take care of a certain one. Hey, I am too old to run, and I am tired after chasing them." Panic, how about you pick one now, I can let him go." He thought for a while, shook his head, and looked at Cui Lifei, "No, one of the two ladies can leave, but you must stay."
Cui Lifei stared at him viciously: "Is what you said true?"
Tian Jixiao's hawk-like eyes shot at him: "What I say must mean something. I'm not like some people who plan on both sides for the same thing."
Lin Yichun cast his eyes on Cui Lifei: I am innocent!I am implicated!
Cui Lifei immediately pushed Tang Ying down the steps: "You let her go, you let her go!"
Lin Yichun was really about to cry. Although she knew that the hope was slim, it was still very heartbreaking when the other party really didn't think about her at all.
Tang Ying walked a few steps, looked back at Cui Lifei, then bit her lower lip and ran down without looking back.
Tian Jixiao looked at Lin Yichun: "I'm sorry, Ms. Lin, I got you involved. But I can't blame me. My purpose is to kill him. You come here by yourself. The only way out is that he also gave his girlfriend. , no matter how you look at it, you should blame him."
Lin Yichun showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "Then you kill him, why do you want to bring me?"
Tian Jixiao nodded: "I'm in a good mood today. Killing one is killing, and killing two is killing. Besides, you are still Fu Zongming's girlfriend, so I would be happier if I killed you."
At this moment, Lin Yichun didn't know whether to beg for mercy first or explain this huge misunderstanding first. Let her be Fu Zongming's girlfriend and tell her to die.
Tian Jixiao raised his gun: "Now, both of you stand on the edge of the steps, time is running out, let's make it quick."
When Cui Lifei acted rashly, Tian Jixiao's gun was aimed at him, he dare not bet, he knew his own skill very well, he was definitely not agile enough to avoid the gun.
"Let's play a game. You stand on the edge of the steps and step back ten steps. If you are lucky, you will fall. There is water below. There may be a way to survive. If you are not lucky, you will not fall ten steps away. , then I'll... bang!" Tian Jixiao gestured with a gun.
Lin Yichun glanced down and saw that the cliff was almost 100 meters high, the water below was not deep, and there were strange rocks at the bottom, there was no such thing as falling and surviving!
"one."
Lin Yichun took a small step back, why hasn't anyone come yet!why so slow!
"two."
Lin Yichun closed his eyes tightly, and rubbed back a little, suddenly there was an exclamation from close at hand, a hand grabbed her arm suddenly, the huge pulling force almost tore her off, Lin Yichun With a scream, the other hand randomly grabbed a section of the incomplete fence, her foot slipped, and she fell heavily on the stone steps.
The step Cui Lifei was standing on was missing a piece. When he moved just now, he stepped on a loose stone and grabbed Lin Yichun's arm. At this moment, he was hanging in the air, holding Lin Yichun tightly, and opened his eyes in horror. Big eyes: "Don't let go! Please don't let go!"
Lin Yichun's arm was pulled so hard that it was almost dislocated. Both arms were in excruciating pain. Tears finally poured out.
Tian Jixiao stepped forward and kicked lightly a few times: "Let go."
Lin Yichun closed his eyes tightly and shook his head vigorously.
Tian Jixiao squatted down and fired without warning. Lin Yichun felt pain all over his body and didn't know where the shot hit.When she opened her eyes, Cui Lifei let out a scream. The shot hit Cui Lifei on his forearm.
Such a bloody and cruel scene appeared in front of her, and Lin Yichun was so frightened that she stared blankly at the muzzle of the gun moving to her forearm, broke down and cried, shaking her head desperately, unable to speak.
Tian Jixiao leaned the hot muzzle of the gun on her finger: "The fingers will all be broken, and if they fall, you can't pick them up again. Are you really not going to let go?"
Cui Lifei was in so much pain that he couldn't hold onto it, Lin Yichun gradually lost his strength, and the sweat in his palm kept oozing out, she wanted to try to hold on, but lost Cui Lifei's grip, she alone couldn't hold an adult man.
Lin Yichun exhausted his last ounce of strength, but he could only watch Cui Lifei's wide and unwilling eyes fall straight down.
The last thing in those eyes was her painful face. Lin Yichun hung his arms and was stunned for a few seconds. He retracted his arms and retreated to the stone steps. She wanted to stay away from the cliff as much as possible, and the smoke gray dress rubbed against the ground. It was full of dirt.
Her world seemed to be in a trance, and human voices came from a distant place, so vague that a word could not be heard.Tian Jixiao raised his gun at her, his movements became very slow, like slow motion played frame by frame, and then he was hit by something and fell to the ground beside him.
But everything is so far away from her, she only has those unwilling eyes in front of her eyes, it will only become clearer when she closes her eyes, lingering.
