Chapter 73 Forgiveness

Bamei Rong opened the door and was a little surprised to see that it was Qi Nuliang who came, but she was even more puzzled when she smelled alcohol on him.

Normally, a drunken man came late at night for one thing only, but this man was Qi Nuliang, and she was not sure again.Qi Nuliang knew about her things, but his attitude towards her didn't change much. He still smoked a cigarette together and chatted about trivial matters in life when they met each other.

After Yao Huilan passed away, no one looked at her with the same eyes as ordinary people.After knowing all this, Qi Nuliang can still treat her as a neighbor and friend, making her feel that she is still an ordinary person like everyone else for a long time, which makes Bamei Rong very grateful to him, although she does not express it on the surface. come out.

She leaned against the door, crossing her arms: "I drank a lot, and I haven't come home yet, what do you want me for?"

Qi Nuliang held on to the door frame, his tongue couldn't be straightened: "Son, he's asleep, go back and wake him up at this time. Is it inconvenient for you?"

Bamei Rong wrapped up her pajamas: "I'm done."

She was telling the truth. Starting this year, she had saved enough money, and rejected all the previous "old clients" one by one, determined not to sell her body for a living.

"I didn't mean that..." Hearing this, Qi Nuliang also felt embarrassed, stood up, and planned to leave, "I'm sorry to bother you."

At this time, Bamei Rong grabbed him again: "Come in."

The lights in the room were not turned on, only the late-night romance drama on the TV was playing silently, and the light on the screen kept switching, illuminating the area in front of the sofa with strange lights.Qi Nuliang sat down in this light and shadow, Bamei Rong brought him a glass of water: "Wake up."

Qi Nuliang held the water glass but did not bring it to his mouth, but leaned on the sofa, drooping his drowsy head.

Alcohol not only did not unravel his melancholy, but intensified certain feelings.The past that had been blurred and faded became more and more clear under the repeated washing of wine, which made him even more unable to forgive himself.

"Is the little girl asleep?"

"Sleep." Rong Bamei made another meaningless explanation, "Tomorrow Saturday, if I don't force her to sleep, she can play until morning."

Qi Nuliang put the water glass on the coffee table: "Do you have any wine here?"

She hesitated for a moment, thinking of some words that drinking would hurt her health, and planned to persuade him, but she stopped at the edge of her mouth.If you can not be sad, who would like to hurt yourself.

"Yes, but only the tiger bone wine made by myself, do you want to drink?"

Qi Nuliang nodded.

After a while, Bamei Rong brought him a cup of tea.

Qi Nuliang took a sip, and frowned: "The taste is a bit strange, is this the taste of tiger bone wine?"

Rong Bamei smoked a cigarette: "Where do you get tiger bones? It's beef bones. Men don't just eat them. There's also donkey penis wine, do you want to try it?"

Qi Nuliang quickly shook his head.

"Drink it at ease, it's not poisonous, it's all soaked in sorghum wine, it won't kill you."

Qi Nuliang took two more sips and gradually got used to the taste.

It took him a long time to realize that this wine should be drunk by Bamei Rong when she gave the "guests" a boost. If so, it must not be for nothing.

"Should I give you drink money?"

Rong Bamei waved her hand and said very generously: "No, I won't make it, and no one will drink these things in the future. If you like it, I will take it home for you."

Qi Nuliang smiled helplessly.

"It's good to find a decent job."

Bamei Rong sighed: "Where can I find a decent job? It's just that I can't do it for a lifetime. I'm not young, and Xiaodie is getting bigger and bigger."

"Have you thought about what to do in the future? I can introduce you to the work in Footwashing City. It's pretty normal there."

"Forget it, since I have decided not to do it, I will change my business completely. I am going to open a small supermarket here."

"That's good, let me take care of your business."

The two were speechless for a while, Qi Nuliang only took a sip of wine from time to time.

"Old Qi, I heard that you are in charge of Xijiao City and Red Street now?"

"Well, the boss still trusts me, and has given me the management of Hongcheng's business." Qi Nuliang was in a daze for a while, "By the way, if you are short of money to open a store, I have it here, and you can use it first."

"It's different, it's rich enough." Bamei Rong laughed, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

Qi Nuliang may not be able to hear it when he is awake, let alone when he is dizzy: "Don't be polite to me, Bamei, I only have you as a friend in Hongcheng, and friends don't talk about these things."

Bamei Rong was slightly stunned, and then put away the smile on her face. She was rarely serious and solemn: "As a friend, let me advise you, find a way to withdraw your hand as soon as possible. The deeper you fall, the more dangerous it is. Not for yourself, nor for yourself. You have to think about that kid. If you have something, what will you ask Jiang Yu to do?"

"Jiang Yu..." Qi Nuliang repeated the name, and when he pronounced it, the soft tone was a little heavy.

Tiger bone wine is much higher than the draft beer in KTV.

At this time, the half cup of wine that had already been drunk rushed up suddenly, making Qi Nuliang dizzy even more.Speaking of the child, he brought up his most troublesome thoughts, so that he completely lost his sanity, allowing his sorrowful emotions to flow freely.

"...Jiang Yu, he hates me..." Qi Nuliang murmured, "What should I do, I only have him as a relative, if he won't forgive me in this life..."

Bamei Rong frowned and smoked, Qi Nuliang's resentful tone made her helpless and funny.I didn't expect that such a big man would be like this when he was drunk, and he would care so much about the thoughts of Jiang Yu, a kid.

"What did you do, he wants to hate you forever? You raised him, fed him to school, the white-eyed wolf is cooked, he hates you for what you did." Rong Bamei stubbed out the cigarette butt, "Okay, I'll call He'll take you back to bed, it's late at night, don't get drunk with me..."

Qi Nuliang grabbed Bamei Rong's forearm with his strong fingers like eagle claws.

Under the light and shadow of the TV, his black and white eyes flickered coldly. After a while, the resentful tone just now became calm: "He hates me because I killed his father."

In an instant, Bamei Rong seemed to have been doused in ice water, her hairs stood on end, and goose bumps appeared all over her body.

Fortunately, after a while, Qi Nuliang let go of her and continued to mutter: "Don't call him... I feel so uncomfortable."

Bamei Rong sat back beside him again, took the wine cup and took a sip, relying on the strong wine to stabilize her mind.

what's the problem?

"You said, his father...is it you? Others say that Yao Huilan asked her to get involved with that matter, then you, you..."

Qi Nuliang shook his head violently: "No, Xiaolan and I...we are innocent...I, I just hope that she...and her child are all well. But Jiang Minggui beat her, drank Beat her mother and daughter after drinking... that time, he beat her again, and Jiang Yu, I couldn't help it, just... But I don't regret it, and I don't regret it even if I go to jail... As long as the two of them live well, as long as ..."

Speaking of this, Qi Nuliang lowered his head and suddenly fell silent, as if he should have touched the most painful reality before him, making him unable to continue talking.

Rong Bamei quickly digested what he said, although it was a bit sensational, it all made sense.

Why Qi Nuliang was so nice to Jiang Yu, why he cared so much about Yao Huilan but didn't show up when she died, why Jiang's relatives didn't like Jiang Yu so much, even his aunt treated him like that.

She glanced at the back of Qi Nuliang's head, even if he couldn't finish those words, Bamei Rong knew what he wanted to say.He sacrificed so much back then, just wanting Yao Huilan and Jiang Yu to have a good life, but these two women have a bad life, not only bad, but even worse.

She really didn't know how to comfort Qi Nuliang, so she just put her hand on his shoulder and shook it vigorously, hoping to give him some strength and comfort.

But Qi Nuliang suddenly squeezed her hand, raised his head and stared at her.

Rong Bamei was taken aback by his actions, and instinctively withdrew her hand.But after repeated attempts twice, she couldn't pull it away. Instead, Qi Nuliang's grip became tighter and tighter, until her bones cracked.

"Old Qi, what are you doing, it hurts, let go."

Qi Nuliang still looked at her like that, just finished talking about him killing people, this straight look made Rong Bamei's hair stand on end, she struggled twice, but still couldn't break free.Bamei Rong vented her strength, let him hold her, and said helplessly: "Old Qi, don't be like this, I won't say anything about you..."

At this time, Qi Nuliang relaxed a little.

He held Bamei Rong's hand with both hands, spread her palms out, lowered his head, and put his face in her palms.

Just when Bamei Rong was very surprised and didn't know what the drunk was going to do, Qi Nuliang said hoarsely: "Xiaolan, I'm sorry..."

"...Qi Nuliang, wake me up. I'm not Yao Huilan, I'm Rong Bamei."

"... Xiaolan, will you forgive me?"

Bamei Rong was really at a loss, but she didn't try to withdraw her hand again, because her palm was wet and she held a handful of tears.

"Sorry, I was wrong, please forgive me."

Rong Bamei sighed.

Thinking about it differently, if she were Yao Huilan, she might not know if she would forgive Qi Nuliang.But if Yao Huilan was real, according to Bamei Rong's understanding of her, she would definitely forgive her.

"Okay, I forgive you, get up."

"...Xiaolan, will you forgive me..."

"I said I forgive you, please don't make trouble with me."

"...you tell Xiao Yu, let him forgive me too, I don't want him to hate me, I only have him..."

There are quite a lot of requests, Rong Bamei thought, Yao Huilan will definitely forgive, but if Jiang Yu knows these things, it may not be so.After all, that kid has a heart as small as a pinhead, and he is a guy who can hold grudges, but she doesn't mind being generous at this time.

"I told Jiang Yu, he also forgives you and won't hate you."

"...Don't lie to me..." Qi Nuliang finally let go.

"He said that you raised him and sent him to school. In the past, everything was evened out. He doesn't hate you."

Qi Nuliang looked at Bamei Rong, his eyes were still full of moisture, but the eyes were unreasonably tender and gentle, and he didn't know what he saw in those intoxicated eyes.

Those eyes just looked at her like this, approaching slowly, but Bamei Rong neither pushed away nor avoided until the four lips were entangled.
