Chapter 5: The Truth

It wasn't just the sound that surprised Jing Wenzhong. It's this guy.

Under the shadow of the dry forest. The man stood with his arms outstretched, his fingers clenched, his fists apart, and his legs apart. The head hangs down and the shoulders rise. Half of his face was in the shadows. Under the forehead covered by a warm hat. Only a shiny white and petite tip of the nose is exposed.

"You...... You're not ......."

Jing Wen's voice trembled slightly. There was an uncontrollable throbbing between the throats.

The opponent's head was slowly raised. The frosty white complexion is as cold as snow. A pair of eyes that widened upwards propped up their eyelashes. Stand out in the shadows.

The dark forest has a bright color.

Two watery sinks are running along the sides of this face. Spilled over the upturned upper lip. Flowing into the clenched teeth. and saliva in the sound of heavy and rapid breathing. The corners of Shun's trembling mouth flowed. Sink and the tears that still keep rolling down her cheeks. At the tip of the jaw, it becomes a piece of coldness. Dripping into the night.

No matter how twisted it is. The face is still so familiar.

At this moment, the other party's indignant gaze. Like a silver spear washed with tears. Straight and straight. Pierced his heart in an instant.

He lost his voice and said, "Light rain." How are you. ”

Jing Lingyu's body couldn't help but tremble in the slightly wide blue shirt. She shook her head in disbelief: "I didn't expect that. So he said it. It's all true...... He wasn't wrong. It's you. It's all you...... It's all because of you. ”

"Light rain. Listen to me. ”

"Stop. ”

Jing Lingyu shouted loudly. Stop the thorn seed that stretched out his arms and rushed forward.

"Don't come back again. Don't come back ......"

She shook her head slowly. Suddenly raised his voice again: "I don't have a father like you." ”

The tears on his face were shaken by this drink. Sparkling shimmering. Instantly melt into the night.

Jing Wenzhong was stunned and froze in place. The heart is like a numb mess. But it seems to be under her drink. It has been clarified and organized.

He jerked his arms outstretched. "You want to know the truth. Good. Now you know. All this is the truth. But where was my mistake? Light rain. Liao Gushi is your cousin. Daddy understands your heart. Can't you understand Daddy's heart? But Daddy is telling you now. Your dad is wrong and that's wrong. But things never go wrong. Your aunt has been married to Liaomen since she entered the Liao Sect. Although the two come and go frequently. Our old relationship is still there. Dad never touched a finger of her again. Your aunt just buried everything in her heart. I never took another half step. We are both innocent. Liao Gushi killed her. It's the best of the worst. ”

He kept tapping his chest and cutting it out. While talking. Lift the air while moving forward. Before you know it, you've taken a few steps forward.

Jing Lingyu's face was full of tears. I couldn't stop shaking my head. Stumbling back: "You lied to me." I don't trust you anymore. I don't believe ......"

Jing Wenzhong said softly: "From childhood to adulthood. Dad is your dearest person. You don't believe Daddy. And to whom to believe. You don't know what kind of person Dad is. Your aunt and you have the best relationship. Don't you know her nature? ”

Hear the word aunt. Jing Lingyu's eyes were sluggish. Some hesitation.

Jing Wen's voice was earnest. Slowly stretching out his hands: "Come on." Come back to Daddy. Light rain. You are a sensible child. Think about where you can go. No matter how big the world is. It's not your home. You know how much about the sinister nature of the rivers and lakes. You know you're not with your dad these days. How messed is Daddy's heart? You see. Daddy is getting older. You're running too fast. Daddy can't even catch up......"

His speech grew slower and longer. It was as if the old man was muttering with a sigh. Jing Lingyu couldn't help but freeze in his footsteps. I watched the body lean forward in the night. A figure with outstretched arms. Just like his father when he was waiting for his childhood self to rush over with a paper windmill. The appearance of throwing himself into his arms. However, the years have changed. He was no longer young. That face was wrinkled by the moonlight. Cast shadows of varying shades. Loose hairline hair between sideburns. It seems to have a cool color of frost. It's unbearable to watch. Her heart ached. I couldn't help but call softly: "Daddy......"

Jing Wenzhong rushed forward. Hold her in your arms. He let out a long sigh of relief. Jing Lingyu was clenched by this warm arm. It seems to have dispelled the resistance. No more wrangling. Place your head against your father's chest. muttered, "Daddy...... You really didn't lie to me. You and your aunt are innocent. Jing Wen smiled: "What did I just say?" You don't believe Daddy. How can you not believe your aunt? What kind of person she is. Don't you know yet. If I am mad, I will do something to her. I'm afraid that I will be beaten by her all over the place. I went to the West Heaven to call the Buddha a brother and a brother. ”

Jing Lingyu was silent for a long time. Astringent smile. His face darkened again: "So to speak." Brother he ......"

"Alas. ”

Jing Wenzhong sighed. said: "He is a mistake to the end." But it doesn't matter. As long as he can sincerely admit his mistakes and repent. Hand over the "Records of the Sword Cultivation Hall". I pleaded before the leader. Drop from a light hair. At most, confine him for a few years. Jing Lingyu suddenly remembered something. Said suddenly: "Daddy." Isn't the transcript with you. "Jing asked a great curiosity. Push her away from herself a little. He examined it: "Obviously he took it." How can you be here with me? That's what he told you. ”

Jing Lingyu stared at him for a long time. Then he replied, "Yes." My brother was so skeptical. After he returned to Beijing, he searched for a long time, but there was no clue. Judging by the recollections. There is no one else who can get the transcript but you. But that's weird. You didn't take it. He didn't take it either. So where did this record go? ”

Jing Wen is vigilant. His voice became serious and tough: "You've seen him." Where is he hiding? ”

Jing Lingyu was stunned. His lips tightened.

She's on her toes. Eyes look left and right. I'm weighing some things I shouldn't say. Jing Wenzhong grabbed her shoulder and shook it, "His potential Jingshi is very dangerous. If it is seen by the rest of the League. But it's a joke. Even though he was covered in iron. Can grind a few nails. You help him so much. It is to harm him. ”

"Hahahaha. ”

Laughter erupted in the forest. Withered branches and battles. The sound of flapping wings. A few crows broke through the forest. Darken into the night sky.

Jing Wenzhong was suddenly shocked. knew that this voice must be Liao Gushi. Silence in the woods. He's hidden. I can hide it from my ears. Apparently he was on the run. It has been greatly strengthened.

Jing Lingyu shouted, "Cousin." ”

"Don't call me. There was a shout in the woods: "Since you believe in him." And he went back with him. Be your Miss Jing. Your father is a dignified director of the Hundred Swords Alliance. Don't worry about arranging a bright future for you. Ha ha. ”

He seemed to be joking. But the word "haha" seems to have been pronounced coldly. No smile at all. It even makes people feel chills down their spines when they listen to it. Jing Lingyu broke away from his father's hands. Dash a few steps into the woods. There was a sound of dead leaves. Said sadly: "Brother." It's not that I don't believe you. I ......"

Liao Gushi intercepted: "If you believe me, why go back and deceive him." ”

Jing Lingyu was speechless. I stopped it in one breath.

Lin Zhong screamed: "You didn't want to hear it in the first place." I heard it and I didn't believe it. You go to him. I just want to get confirmation in his mouth again. Now I have changed my mind with a few words. Such and such. Dare to believe me. What a joke. ”

Jing Lingyu stomped his feet and said, "Just now I knelt on his chest and listened. His heartbeat really didn't change. He didn't lie to me. Liao Gushi said: "Knowing a daughter is like a father." Your little trick. How can you hide it from him? With his skill. Just be on guard. It's hard to control your heartbeat. ”

Jing Wen took a step forward. Sweeping the forest said loudly: "Since you are here." Then you must have heard the words before. Things are not what you think. I'm sorry for your mother. but worthy of your father. When a person dies, everything is empty. Your mother is gone. Her reputation is still there. There is no denigration. It doesn't matter what you think of her. Believe it or not. I, as an uncle, still have to love you and take care of you. Young people can be forgiven for making mistakes. Anyone at this age is inevitable. What's more, although you are silent in the alliance on weekdays. But the heart is kind, and the mother is filial. Common Knowledge. If everyone understands that it is indeed a misunderstanding. No one will be too you. Listen to me. Come back with me. ”

Liao Gushi said coldly: "You are kind." It's a pity you managed to fool her. But you can't fool me. These rhetorical rhetoric. I'd better tell it to your idiot girl. Jing Wen said angrily: "You keep saying that I lied to you. It's clear that you have a prejudice against me. I'm talking to your mother about family life. Reminiscing about old things. Sometimes it's a little longer to speak. The rumors in the league are indiscriminate. And you will believe it. When I saw your mother. You're not just watching from the sidelines. It's just hiding next door and eavesdropping. I only think it's the child's nature to protect his mother. I've never blamed you. But what did the two of us do? You should know best. ”

The forest was silent. It's been a long time. Liao Gushi's voice came out again: "Jing Wenzhong." You've done a great job. ”

He spoke much more slowly. And the wind came. Cold: "Actually, you knew you were going in the wrong direction. Everything that has been exchanged for life over the years. It's just a vain name. His wife died. The lover died. Youth is gone. You've been sad enough in this life. But you still take those useless things. Take it as your life's work. And what is that for? ”

Jing Wenzhong listened silently.

"Hahaha. You certainly know why. Because I tried so hard to deceive myself. You'll be less lonely. It's a little better. Are you afraid of gossip. I don't think so. I can sit in my current seat. Will you experience fewer attacks? In fact, the truth is in your heart and mine. Fight and fight. None of it is necessary. But you just said that. Who are you talking about? ”

"Tell it to whom. ”

There were only three people in the forest. Who else will there be. Jing Lingyu turned his head sharply. I saw my father standing straight in the same place. The fist tightened. The eyes are full of sadness. Suddenly, a cold wave hit the heart from the limbs.

Liao Gushi's voice said: "Xiaoyu." You guessed it right. What he fears is not ruin. Not the emptiness after losing power. It's about losing an image. A father figure in a daughter's heart. An image that will completely collapse in the face of the truth. ”
