Chapter 45: A Moonlight-colored Memory 1
On the bank of the brightly lit Jinjiang River, Jiang Yu, dressed in a black windbreaker, stood beside the flowerbed on the roadside. The flowerbed in spring in March was full of buds and flowers, and in the cool wind, there were bursts of fragrance of flowers.
The sparse flowers and trees became an excellent cover for hiding. Occasionally, a drunken night walker passing by would take a curious look at the man standing upright in the flower garden.
This man in a trench coat is tall, with an upright back, and I guess he has a good face. But it’s just a guess, or just a glance. In this bustling area, everyone has their own worries, worries and heartaches.
Furthermore, behind the man, there were two young men in black suits standing, who looked very much like the man's bodyguards. This formation was very strange. Although people coming and going were curious, they were afraid of getting into trouble.
Jiang Yu stood in the flower garden and saw Xin Xiaoyue swallowing something with the mineral water, then covering her face and lowering her head, her shoulders twitching and shaking violently.
She is crying!
Why would someone like her who is so scheming and scheming, someone who can attend the banquet calmly even with her own brother in ICU, cry?
Jiang Yu frowned and looked at it for a while, feeling indescribable annoyance at this situation that was beyond his understanding and beyond his control.
"Axun, did you say she was crying?" After a while, Jiang Yu asked Jiang Xun beside him.
Jiang Xun immediately stood up straighter, observed carefully for a moment, and then said: "Back to Ninth Young Master, I'm afraid it is."
"Um."
Jiang Yu just said "Hmm" softly, and of course he would not ask "Why is she crying?"
He just stood and looked at Xin Xiaoyue who was hiding her face and crying by the river.
The lights on the river bank were bright and the river was surging continuously. However, the originally thin woman was sitting on the empty river bank, and her back was extremely fragile.
At this moment, Jiang Yu seemed to see himself many years ago.
At that time, he experienced the most terrifying thing in his life.
First, he was tortured by the kidnappers. After an unknown number of days and months, he was finally tied up with stones and thrown into a lake.
The cold water flooded into his lungs, and he kept sinking.
Just when he was unconscious, someone lifted him up and lifted him out of the water.
Coughing violently, he opened his eyes and saw a young man's face in the dim skylight. He had clear outlines and dark eyes, but the long scar on his face was a bit scary.
"How's it going?" a gentle voice asked.
"It's actually a baby." The man wiped the water droplets from his face, his tone indescribable surprise.
"Ah? Then let's see how it goes?" The gentle female voice was very nervous, with a unique coda of Sichuan dialect.
Next, the man and the woman untied the rope that tied him together and slapped the water out of his lungs.
"It hurts a bit, but if you don't take pictures, it will easily cause lung infection," the man said.
Jiang Yu nodded, his whole body was numb and he had no strength at all.
Seeing that Jiang Yu was not in serious trouble, the man said, "Sister, take the baby home first and ask Teacher Zhang to check with him, so as not to expose the root cause of the disease, the baby is still so young."
"Okay." The woman agreed readily, then held her waist and bulging her belly and said, "The baby is still at Grandpa Third's house. You take the baby back, and I will take these fish away to pick up the baby."
"Okay." The man replied, and then said to Jiang Yu, "Don't be afraid, we are not bad people, it is already dark. Today, you stay at my house first, and tomorrow morning, I will go to the police station to ask the police to help you catch the bad people. Find
Your relatives."
When Jiang Yu heard that she was going to the police station to invite someone, she immediately grabbed the man's arm tightly and shook her head with tears in her eyes.
"Baby, what's wrong? Don't you want to find your relatives?" the man asked in surprise.
Jiang Yu wanted to speak, but he couldn't.
During his time in captivity, he was tied and blindfolded.
Aunt Qing would come to beat and scold him, and also scolded his mother: His grades were bad when he was in school, he had no brains in doing things, and he only had a face. How could he marry into a rich family and be loved by her husband?
"What I hate the most is that she shows off her wealth everywhere and pretends to be kind-hearted and gives alms to help her old classmates." Aunt Qing scolded and beat him.
At first, Jiang Yu was very sad and would ask Aunt Qing why she beat him.
Later, he stopped asking and never made a sound. After a few days, he found that he had lost the ability to speak, could not open his mouth, and could not make a sound.
"Baby, tell me what's going on? Uncle makes the decision for you." Seeing that he didn't speak and didn't understand what he meant, the man urged him.
Jiang Yu was speechless, just shook his head and shed tears.
The man sighed and asked, "You don't want me to go to the police station to ask for help or find my relatives, right?"
Jiang Yu nodded. The situation was unclear now and he would not act rashly. Who was the Jiang family? Those people dared to kidnap him. Then, it was possible for bad guys to sneak into the police station.
He couldn't show up right now, he had to confirm his safety and contact his family himself.
What's more, after what happened to Aunt Qing, he really couldn't trust others casually anymore. Even though this uncle seemed harmless.
The man scratched his head, pondered for a moment, and then said as if he had made up his mind: "Then you will stay at my house temporarily. When you calm down, we can talk about finding relatives, okay?"
Jiang Yu nodded again. The man smiled and said, "Don't worry, my uncle's family is poor, but if he has a bite to eat, you will have a bite to eat."
Jiang Yu was a little stunned, but the man knelt down and said to him: "Come on, baby, I will carry you back."
Looking at the broad and strong chest, Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, but still slowly lay on his back.
The clothes were rough and made his skin uncomfortable, but he felt more at ease than he had ever felt in these days.
The man carried him on his back and walked all the way back.
The vast twilight made the mountains and trees in the surrounding areas look like huge black monsters with their ferocious mouths open, making Jiang Yu feel scared, but he didn't seem to be scared.
The man walked and talked to him all the way.
At first, I told him that people in the countryside talked a lot. His situation was complicated, and maybe the bad guys were still nearby. So, I told him that he was the grandson of his distant cousin and he was coming to live here for a while.
"The grandson of my distant cousin is called Yun Jinghe. Someone in the village calls you Yun Jinghe, so just nod and agree." The man warned.
He just nodded without seeing the man, and continued to introduce the situation of his family.
First, he said that his wife was bitten to death by a snake many years ago, and his child later became ill and died. Since then, he has been taking care of his sick mother and sister and has not remarried.
A few years ago, my mother also died of illness. My sister got married, but she still lives in her parents' house. Her brother-in-law is an educated and gentle man, well-read and comes from a big city.
My brother-in-law went back to a big city to do business some time ago, and my sister has a three-and-a-half-year-old daughter named Baobao, who is also five months old.
After he finished the introduction, he added: "Who are those people? Today I took advantage of the darkness to secretly go fishing to recuperate my sister. But I saw those people sneaking into the reservoir.
"Things, I thought they were throwing pollutants and trying to damage our reservoir. But those people actually lost their conscience. You are still a child."
He spoke the Sichuan dialect, but he spoke very slowly, but Jiang Yu could understand him completely.
That night, I arrived at my benefactor’s house.
This house is truly the most shabby that Jiang Yu has ever seen since he was a kid.
A thatched house with mud walls and rats running around everywhere.
