Love is like sugar and marriage is like water

Chapter 44: Capturing Shadows with a Knife

After Zheng Wei finished his instigating words calmly but vividly, he calmly patted the stunned Tang Shu on the shoulder. Feng Kuoyun laughed strangely and meaningfully again, and hurriedly turned his back to Tang Shu. He left happily.

……

With Tang Shu's naive and simple thoughts, he probably didn't think that Zheng Wei's words to him had any particularly profound meaning at first -

This is because - Zheng Wei has always had a bad reputation for being mystical, pretentious, and cynical - in everything he does, especially in the process of interacting with people, he is famous for telling stories, hiding things from God, hiding knives under his smile, and being good at fooling others. .

Zheng Wei's whole body is full of that almost inscrutable hypocrisy and cunning, which further encourages him to fool others openly and secretly...

Because of this, in Tang Shu's opinion, when he started talking to Zheng Wei, Zheng Wei just wanted to tease him or even set up lots or fortune-telling.

However, since he said "There must be a dark shadow in the garden", every word Zheng Wei said casually and calmly - Tang Shu had to concentrate and think about it.

These words were like the venom of wolf and bee venom, pouring into every cell in Tang Shu's blood so that it penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and the liquid in those cells was pouring out towards Tang Shu's forehead...

"Ah... So it's really like this - my feelings are not wrong!"

Tang Shu saw Zheng Wei walking away and said to himself.

"No wonder, I've been restless and sleepless lately - as her best friend, I have the responsibility to prevent these things from happening..."

He shouted loudly - his voice was deep and rough... He opened his eyes, and punched his chest hard with his fists. His eyebrows stood up one by one, and veins popped up on his face.

However, he changed his mind:
"Would Zheng Wei himself come to the garden of his own community in the middle of the night? Who knows, the community where he lives is not far from his own community..."

"Although there are security guards on duty in the community at night, the surrounding walls are not too high. It is not difficult for an adult man to climb in from the top of the wall. Or the security guard guarding the door may be asleep in the middle of the night... He sneaks in quietly What’s up?”

"Maybe he said it himself. Zheng Wei is very bold to do such a thing..."

However, Tang Shu wanted to come back again——

"Why did Zheng Wei do this secretly? Even if he had the purpose and motive of having an affair with Song Jie, Song Jie's feelings for Zheng Wei haven't reached that level yet! It's impossible for her to let him into the house!"

"Therefore, it makes no sense to suspect Zheng Wei!"

"If it's not Zheng Wei, then who is it?"

"..."

He thought about it and finally decided that no matter who it was, I was going to get to the bottom of it, remove the stone that was weighing on his heart, and solve the mystery so that it would no longer torment him.

He returned to his room, took out a small knife he bought not long ago for self-defense from the desk drawer, swung it with his hand and tried its sharp blade - the blade of this knife was like frosted Gemstones are generally smooth and sharp and can easily cut through any object.

He frowned like a ski slope, and stuffed the sharp knife into his pocket with a calm and determined determination, as if he was used to doing this kind of thing... It's not surprising, either. It's not like it's the first time I've done this.

The anger in his heart was as strong as thunder and lightning, and it was constantly rushing to his forehead. He had become as cold as ice and bitter - until the night before taking action, his brows were furrowed and never relaxed. Except for eating and drinking, I never take the initiative to open my lips, they always keep them tightly closed...

He was in the room, sometimes stopping, sometimes sitting down, and sometimes standing up... while putting one hand in his pocket, holding the sharp knife that was already hot, he was thinking about the plan in his mind. A rather terrible and not a small thing.

Before that moment, these shuddering feelings that he had never experienced before - like the feeling that was waiting in the dark abyss of fear for his childish and trying hands and feet to be entangled and unable to let go.

Throughout the afternoon, this complex feeling of fear completely occupied his heart. The frown and frown even made him a little nervous and his palms became sweaty. Therefore, he really didn't have time to think about Song Jie, a beautiful woman...

At this time, he remembered what happened to his friend named Xiaopeng - Xiaopeng fell in love with a girl named Xiaoxian while working in City C, and married her.

However, later Xiaoxian fell in love with another middle-aged man, and she no longer loved Xiaopeng.In a rage, Xiaopeng killed Xiaoxian and her lover...

Tang Shu wanted to learn this kind of courage from Xiaopeng... Of course, he never thought of killing people, he just wanted to find out what was going on.

When I returned home, I saw that my father Tang Kui was not at home - this was normal, as my father rarely came home.

However, her mother, Zhen Yan, was extremely concerned about her son's every move. Ever since her son came home, she had been in a state of excitement and anger that she almost did not dare to express. She noticed that her son seemed to be unusually anxious. An ugly expression as if something big happened——

During dinner, Zhen Yan said to Tang Shu:

"Son, why do you always have such a sullen face when you come home? I feel that you are not very happy, as if you have something big on your mind, as if... you have an indescribable feeling - what's wrong with you? Tell me! "

Tang Shu just smiled reluctantly at his mother and said, "Mom, I'm fine. Don't worry. I'm just a little hungry. Just eat something."

But he thought in his heart: "If my mother knew that I was holding a knife to catch shadows in the middle of the night, I would be surprised if I didn't scare her to death!"

In the evening, Tang Shu returned to his room early, played some games, and then lay on the bed without taking off his clothes... When he saw midnight on his phone, he climbed out of bed.

"This is the right time... let's go!" He whispered through his teeth, buttoned his coat all the way to the collar, even rolled up his cuffs, and then went downstairs to the garden.

He was still sitting on the long chair painted with green paint from last time. This waiting place happened to be the only way from Building B where he lived to Building C where Song Jie lived - other roads were impassable.

At the end of the road, there is a fence that separates Building B and Building C. It connects to a small public square shared by the two buildings. There is a solitary yellow oak tree growing there.

If you stand under its low-hanging, thick branches and leaves, you can clearly see everything happening around you as far as the dark night allows -

Here, there was a winding path that always seemed to him mysterious - it snaked around the fence like a snake.

The place next to the bushes that passed through the fence was not passable, but through the light, I could see the footprints of someone who had climbed over to take a shortcut - Tang Shu thought that these footprints might be from before.

He finally walked to the Huangjue tree, leaned against its bowl-shaped trunk with wrinkles like the face of an old man who had gone through vicissitudes of life, and began to squat quietly...
