Abyss of ignorance

Chapter 128 Reeds

Lin Xiaodong stood in front of the reeds, and the damp wind blew towards him with the smell of mud.

Jiang Xu told him that no one's life can withstand scrutiny, not even his father who seems so ordinary.

Behind a decent and stable life are hidden sufferings and unsolved killing mysteries.

Lin Zhengyang, his grandfather, once "died" in this place.

So many years have passed, this reed marsh, the place where Lin Zhongyue’s last relative was once taken away, has become a habitat for egrets day after day, with the ebb and flow of tides, and is protected, no artificial development is allowed, and it cannot be seen A little trace of that year.

Lin Xiaodong didn't know why he came here.

He wanted to see Lin Zhengyang's starting point, where did that Lin Zhengyang who disappeared from the world go from this reed?And who is that person who is wearing his clothes and lying here?
He shaved off his messy hair and kept a neat cut. He looked at the calm lake outside the reeds for a long time, watched the egrets fly up and down, and his mind was full of thoughts.

There is a narrow dirt road at the foot, only enough for one person to pass.

When he turned to leave, a girl in a light pink silk dress walked up from the direction he came, with a loose bun and an easel on her back, facing each other.

This place is so inaccessible that it is hard to predict such a "narrow road" moment.

Lin Xiaodong didn't care about getting his shoes dirty, and stepped aside in a gentlemanly manner, stepping on the wet reed ground.

The girl walked in his direction silently, and stopped when she reached Lin Xiaodong's side, without turning her head to look at him, she just lowered her head and whispered, "Thank you."

The wind at Reed Beach was very strong, and the sound was so soft that it could barely be heard.

"Oh, oh, it doesn't matter." Lin Xiaodong said and planned to go back to the road, but at this moment his feet were already stuck in the mud, and he couldn't pull them out for a while.

This is somewhat embarrassing, especially in front of a strange girl.

A hand was stretched out in front of Lin Xiaodong, and the girl finally turned around to face him.

In the afternoon sun in the reeds, the girl's delicate face showed a little shyness facing strangers, she nodded and lowered her eyebrows, as if she was a girl who had stepped out of a classical oil painting.

Looking at Lin Xiaodong who was frozen in place, the girl reminded: "I'll pull you up." The voice was still small.

"It's okay, it's okay." The girl's behavior made Lin Xiaodong even more embarrassed. Ning Ke bent down, grabbed the ground with his hands, and climbed onto the road with his hands and feet in embarrassment.

"Your shoes are dirty..." the girl looked at his muddy shoes and said with concern.

Lin Xiaodong stomped his feet a few times pretending to be relaxed: "It doesn't matter..."

The girl pursed her lips and smiled, two dimples looming on her cheeks: "Stranger, what are you doing here?"

"Let's relax." Lin Xiaodong looked at the easel the girl was carrying, "Are you a painter?"

"Come to sketch." The girl glanced at his feet again, "Hurry up and go back, it's not good to have your feet stuffed in wet shoes."

As he spoke, he continued to walk forward, and when he reached the position where Lin Xiaodong was just now, he set up his easel, took out his brush and began to paint by himself.

Lin Xiaodong walked to his motorcycle and looked back at the girl.

She seems to be very focused, carefully painting the scenery in front of her.

He felt a little emotional, the scenery in the eyes of others, to him, was an irreversible murder scene.

The motorcycle was right next to him, and he stomped his feet a few more times, but the mud on his feet could not be shaken off. He looked around, tore off the reed leaves, rubbed them vigorously, and then stepped on the car and walked away.

……

The sky gradually darkened, and beside the reeds, the girl was still drawing seriously.

Until it was completely dark, and she couldn't even see the drawing board clearly, but she still maintained this posture.

There was a rustling sound from the depths of the reeds that had been swaying with the wind, as if some animal was crawling.

The paintbrush in the girl's hand finally stopped, watching the reeds being pushed aside.

A man covered in mud appeared in front of her exhausted.

The man was lying on the wet reed ground, and he had no strength to stand up. He turned over and looked at the girl from this strange angle, and murmured: "You are the painter... I found you." ……Won……"

The girl was not frightened at all, but came over, stood next to this man, looked down at him, and showed a strange sweet smile in the darkness: "Congratulations, you have passed the level. I will take you to see the instructor."

……

For the first time, Jiang Xu appeared on the streets of Linzhou Xingtiandi during the day.

Those who have seen him are still asleep at this moment, and they will not see him again in the future.

For Xing Tiandi at night, Jiang Xu disappeared with Jiang Wanchao's death.

As for Wan'an Community, which is next to Xingtiandi, there is an extra strange resident here.

Passing through the long and narrow corridor, the house number 404 at the end is uncommon.

It's just that when the door is opened, everything inside is like traveling through time.

All the furnishings in the room are exactly the same as Chen Shi's home.

"Welcome home." Ye Mimi smiled at him gently, as if the smile was sincere only when facing him.

"It would be great if they were here," Jiang Xu said suddenly.

Ye Mimi looked at him and said firmly: "They have always been there. One day, I will make JN003 and Jiangnan Medicine into the way Dad wants."

"Mimi, I'm worried that my presence will make him doubt your identity." Jiang Xu, who heard Ye Mimi mentioning Jiangnan Medicine, became worried.

When this topic was mentioned, the tenderness in Ye Mimi's eyes was like freezing, she looked straight at Jiang Xu: "Ah Xu, I will not let anyone separate us again. I can let you live forever Here, he is sure that he will not find any flaws."

……

"Hello, I want to ask, is Liu Linhai there?" Lin Xiaodong came to a small bungalow and shouted into the yard.

A chunky aunt with sleeves and an apron came out, looked at the upright Lin Xiaodong, and said, "Are you from the community?"

"Ah, no, is this Liu Linhai's house?" Lin Xiaodong reconfirmed.

"Who are you?" The aunt began to look at him suspiciously.

Lin Xiaodong habitually went to get his police ID, only to realize that the ID had already been handed in.

"I'm his friend's grandson, and I'm here to visit." Lin Xiaodong was telling the truth.

At this time, an old man came out of the house, wearing a faded blue tunic suit, hunched over, and when he saw Lin Xiaodong, he blurted out: "Are you Ah Zheng's grandson?"

Lin Xiaodong knew that this old man was probably Liu Linhai.
