Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

For ten years, Zhou Leng has been in Pingshan County and has never been outside the county.

Zhou Leng rented the five mu of land of the Chen family to a family in the same village for planting. She packed up the things at home and stored the food. She might come back to live there again.

The county town has undergone considerable changes after ten years of development.

Zhou Leng asked around at several police stations before he found the policeman.

It has been too long. When we met again, the once neat and strong young policeman has turned into a middle-aged policeman with a slightly protruding belly and who seldom goes out on field duty.

When the two met again, they felt a little unfamiliar with each other. Fortunately, there was no one else who had jumped off a building and survived in all these years, so the police still had some impression of him.

Zhou Leng briefly explained the basic situation over the past few years and the purpose of this trip. He talked about his situation to win the other party's sympathy. After all, the two of them actually had no feelings for each other.

In the reception room of the police station, the policeman said with some emotion:

"So many years have passed, I don't even dare to recognize you. You are a good child. You took care of grandma and made her live a peaceful life in her later years. But why are you here to inquire about Brother Hu's affairs?"

Zhou Leng looked directly into the other person's eyes and answered calmly:

"I just want to see how he's doing. I'll be relieved if he's not doing well. Besides, as a woman, how can I pose any threat to him?"

The policeman looked a little strange. He was silent for a moment, then organized his words and said:

"It is a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. He has been punished for spending so many years in prison."

Zhou Leng listened to the other party's words and thought to herself, is it possible that Brother Hu is doing well? She asked again:

"It seems that you know where he is. Otherwise, how do you know that he can correct his mistakes?"

"Things change all the time. He got into a fight with a cellmate in prison and had his leg broken. He stopped being a bad guy after that. Later, he behaved well in prison and got his sentence reduced. Now he makes a living by picking up scraps. Alas, during the years he was in prison, his wife ran away with the children, and his mother died. Now he has a hard life."

Zhou Leng continued to ask: "I remember that his family lived in a village in the city. Now that place has been demolished, he should be able to get a house. Why is he still picking up rags? It's so pitiful. Although he did something wrong at the beginning, he was also punished by the law."

When the police heard the person on the other side say this, he also said with emotion:

"I have seen many such people over the years. They committed crimes when they were young and bullied others. When they were released, they were middle-aged and had no professional skills. Their families and society looked at them with tinted glasses, so they were the ones who were bullied. I don't know if they really repented or if life forced them to become honest people. After all, they can't hurt others anymore."

Zhou Leng also sighed a few words following the police's words, and then she asked casually, "I see that after the original urban villages were renovated, they all seem to be in the Chunwang Yaju area."

The policeman glanced at her sharply and said professionally:

"It seems that you even asked about him yourself. You couldn't find him so you came to me. I would say that your life is pretty peaceful now. You should just live your life well."

Zhou Leng did not ask any more questions, but said something different from before:

"Since Brother Hu is already in such a miserable state, I can't be sure if God has opened his eyes unless I see it with my own eyes. If I don't see how difficult his life is, I won't be able to sleep well at night. Thank you, police uncle, for leaving now. I will definitely look for the police if I have any difficulties in the future."

Zhou Leng stood up, waved goodbye, and left in one go.

The policeman shook his head as he watched the other person leave, muttering, "This girl is really something." As he spoke, he turned on his computer again and went back to work.

After Zhou Leng left, she first went to the Chinese medicine store to buy white hyacinth and cinnabar, and then bought yellow talisman paper and a new brush. After packing these things, she took a taxi directly to Chunwang Yaju.

Looking at the map, this place looks like a series of residential areas. Most of them are villagers who were relocated from the former urban villages. Every household is very familiar.

Zhou Leng arrived at the crowd-gathering square. She found a quiet place to sit down, took some white hyacinth and ground cinnabar into a paste, then took out a brush to draw the talisman.

Gather your energy and concentrate your mind, move your wrist slightly, and in one go, a talisman to find someone is created.

Of course, the effect of this talisman was not that great. It just took its owner to a scrap collection station and then it spontaneously combusted without wind.

Zhou Leng looked at the busy waste collection station, where there were piles of plastic bottles and various recyclables. She looked at the landscape chairs beside the flower bed outside the yard and sat down decisively. She took out the white hyacinth and ground it with cinnabar, and drew another talisman.

Zhou Leng sat cross-legged on the chair, folded the talisman in her pocket, put her backpack beside her, closed her eyes slightly, and waited quietly. She waited from the sun at its highest point to the sun setting in the west.

From a distance, a man in dirty clothes slowly approached the scrap collection station.

The tall man looked a little frail, riding a small tricycle with a woven bag and an old TV behind him. There was nothing wrong with his legs when he was riding, but as the tricycle slowly approached, he passed by the flowerbed and walked through the door. When he got off the tricycle to get something, he walked with one step higher and one step lower.

Just after the man got off the car, Zhou Leng opened her eyes and stared at the figure who looked almost like Tiger Brother's former fat body. His messy hair and equally messy beard almost blocked his face, his slightly bent waist and lame legs, his eyes slightly lowered, avoiding eye contact. This was a manifestation of his inferiority complex.

He also has low self-esteem?

Zhou Leng watched him sell the items and carefully collect the money, then he pushed his bike out of the scrap collection station and rode away. She put on her bag and followed him.

The sky was slowly getting darker, and the light was getting dimmer as they walked further and further down the road. Zhou Leng took out a shiny kitchen knife from her backpack. She had a hundred ways to make the other person's life even worse.

A chill suddenly emanated from the mark deep in his soul, and Chen Wang was trying to stop Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng put away the kitchen knife and stopped. Since the real owner was no longer pursuing the matter, she would not be the bad guy. She was just afraid that the punishment described by the other party would also include stabbing the perpetrator.

If Zhou Leng herself was the victim, she would have killed this pitiful-looking man silently at this moment.

Of course, Zhou Leng would not be a victim either.

Zhou Leng did not leave the county immediately. She followed Brother Hu around the community for a week and witnessed his poverty and hardship with her own eyes. She saw him rummaging through the garbage dump and he cursed at the same scavenger over a few bottles and cartons.

Zhou Leng just watched calmly, but Chen Wang's soul mark changed from excitement and relief at the beginning to ignorance and indifference later, and her soul mark completely became silent.

Zhou Leng left the county town with her bag and returned to the village. After living in the village for another year, she packed her bags and started wandering.

Carrying a sharp dagger, without taking a car, just walking, you don’t need to know the destination, and you don’t need to worry about what to eat or where to sleep. Just do whatever you want and take things as they come.

For the rest of her life, Zhou Leng measured the mountains and ridges of her motherland with her feet and saw the beautiful rivers with her eyes. She once stood on the top of a steep mountain and sat on the ground to experience the rising and setting of the sun in the east, and also felt the cold and damp invasion in the narrow valley. Except for returning to the village every year to sweep the graves of the Chen family and renting her own land to others for farming, she has been traveling all the time.

At the age of fifty, Zhou Leng returned to the village again.

In fact, there are no villages left at this time. The country has been completely urbanized, the land has been returned to forest, the people in the village have long moved out, and this place has become an ecological protection area.

This was her last time to visit the grave of old lady Wang Xiuli, and she was about to leave.

Now the country has places for euthanasia. You can die comfortably as long as you pay money. As long as you make an appointment in advance, someone will come to collect your body. It is a one-stop service.

There will be no more Chen Wang in this world.

half a month later.

A euthanasia service company in the city took the money and did the job, and a person left this world without any worries.

After death, we are buried in the nine springs and left to be consumed by mud. Who is still waiting in the world for his hair to be covered with snow?
