Exploring the Entertainment Circle [Ancient and Modern]

The police surrounded the BMW, and suddenly there was a "bang", the sound of the fuel tank exploding.Immediately after the loud "boom", a raging flame ignited at the place where the vehicles collided.

The fuel tank exploded.The window glass and various parts exploded all over the place. Fortunately, the surrounding policemen reacted very quickly and backed away. The distance was not too close, and they were not blown by the broken glass.Tao Qingfeng and Yan Dan were farther away, they were both standing on the other side, behind the railing of the closed passage.Only a distant heat wave was felt in the opposite direction.

There was a driver in the BMW, but the fuel tank exploded just where the two cars were glued together, and the front of the BMW was blown into several pieces, and was engulfed in billowing smoke. The man was dead at the moment of the explosion.

Later, the police found out that the driver of the BMW that was killed was an unemployed vagrant.Surveillance showed that he entered the BMW with the key inserted for some unknown reason by himself at the intersection.The owner of this BMW is from another province. Surveillance shows that his car was stolen, but the face of the masked man who stole the car cannot be seen clearly.The BMW was also thoroughly wiped down, leaving no fingerprints before the vagrant got into the car.The vagrants are mobile illegal households, and no more information can be found.Although the police suspected that this person had something to do with Xie Guomin, they couldn't find any hard evidence.The police will continue to investigate the matter, but obviously unless there are key clues, the progress is not optimistic.

But after the Yan family learned about this, their reaction was very different.Yan Tan was almost killed, and the police will not be able to find out the relationship with Xie Guomin for a while.From their point of view, this matter must not be left as it is.And from their point of view, Xie Guomin's lack of strings may not be able to come up with this meticulous plan alone, so Zhuang Yuhui was also included in the list.

It doesn't matter whether the police can find out the truth later.The Xie family is really cold this time.Even though Xie Guomin was only sentenced to five years, he would die when he came out, and Zhuang Yuhui would follow suit.

At that time, Tao Qingfeng was thinking with lingering fear, fortunately they got out of the car quickly, otherwise they would be the ones who got hit and exploded.It's a pity that Teacher Yan's very expensive car was blown up to the point where he lost half of his body and was completely scrapped.

Just as Tao Qingfeng turned his head to discuss with Yan Tan, he saw Yan Tan supporting the railing around the shock-absorbing belt with one hand and his forehead with the other, half-closed his eyes, thin beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, showing a painful look.

"Teacher Yan?" Tao Qingfeng quickly went to support him, and asked with concern: "Are you okay? What's the matter? Is there broken glass?"

Yan Dan was supported by Tao Qingfeng's hand, and took a breath, her voice was still a little weak: "I'm dizzy...this kind of fire...it will be fine in a while, lean on it for a while, it will be fine."

Tao Qingfeng didn't know what dizziness was.But he knew he was dizzy.Some people feel nauseous and dizzy when they see blood. It may be a psychological effect. When they were young, they encountered some terrible things when they bled.So by extension, the so-called "fire dizziness" means that when you see the scene of fire shining, you will also feel sick and dizzy.

Tao Qingfeng thought: When Mr. Yan was cooking in the kitchen, didn't there be flames from the stove?Or, that kind of relatively small flame can be overcome, but like this kind of sudden raging fire, Teacher Yan will induce dizziness when he sees it suddenly?

There is no place to rest next to the railings of the shock-absorbing belt.Tao Qingfeng hurriedly sat down on the one-meter-high concrete platform between the railing and the railing, with one hand still supporting Yan Tan, and said, "Teacher Yan, you can lie on my back."

Yan Dan was dizzy, sat down and tilted his head to rest on Tao Qingfeng's shoulder.But Tao Qingfeng's shoulders were too thin, so tight that Yan Tan rubbed them uncomfortably.Tao Qingfeng quickly put his head down, put his legs together for support, and then put Yan Tan's head on his legs.Of course, lying on the lap is much softer and more comfortable than lying on the hard shoulder.Yan Tan rested on Tao Qingfeng's leg, although he was still dizzy with his eyes closed, but the wrinkles on his forehead were not so deep, and he didn't look so painful anymore.

More than ten meters away, the vehicle exploded and was still burning. There is no combustion aid around, and it should be extinguished naturally later.Police are still surrounding the scene.A policeman came to look for them, saw Yan Tan lying uncomfortably, and asked Tao Qingfeng, "What's wrong? Do you want to call 120?"

Tao Qingfeng lowered his voice and said, "Teacher Yan is a little allergic to fire. He will be fine after a short rest."

The policeman asked: "The body in the BMW needs to be examined by the forensic doctor. You can leave a phone number for the car insurance, so you can go back and rest first. You will be notified to come to the bureau to take notes in two days."

The Public Security Bureau that dispatched the police this time was the same branch that rescued Tao Qingfeng last time.The police have investigated Tao Qingfeng's affairs and are already familiar with him.The situation is also well known, and there is no need to make a record immediately.

Tao Qingfeng said: "Understood, you go to work. When Teacher Yan wakes up, I will tell him to contact the car insurance."

Tao Qingfeng took out the napkin and wiped the sweat off Yan Tan's head, seeing that Yan Tan's expression had gradually calmed down, as if he had fallen asleep.

Yan Tan didn't just fall asleep, he also had a dream.

In the dream, it was not the sunny day in winter, but the sunny day in midsummer.But he had to wear a long-sleeved official uniform that complied with etiquette, and he had to ride on horseback to the "Jin Zou Recording Academy" fifty miles away in the suburbs of Beijing to deliver the important memorials that were archived this year.

The "Jinzuo Recording Academy" is like a library, which keeps copies of important memorials delivered to the emperor by courtiers every year. Of course, the originals are kept in the palace.However, the founding emperor of Great Chu was too prepared for danger in times of peace. He was worried that it would be too late to transfer important documents when the enemy invaded, so he set up a library fifty miles away and sent it once a year.This provision has been retained.

Although there is basically no other practical use other than backup, the Six Departments don’t pay much attention to this matter. Every year, newcomers are selected by the Ministry of Officials. In fact, there are not many posts left in the past.The journey was thirty li, and it took several days to come and go.It is not a wide road where you can take a carriage, but a narrow road where you can only ride a horse.

The time for delivering newspapers every year is before the summer festival in June, but this is considered a formal court affair, and one must wear neat and complete court clothes.And someone who can ride a horse.Therefore, although every year the candidates are recruited by the Ministry of Officials, it can be regarded as one of the drudgery of the newcomers.

Yan Tan knew in his dream that it was actually not his turn to do this matter, but when he looked at the person walking beside him, it was Tao Qingfeng who was also wearing a long-sleeved official uniform, he felt that he should bear this responsibility with him. This errand is actually not only not hard, but also quite enjoyable.

But obviously Tao Qingfeng didn't know that Yan Dansheng had invited him to send a copy of the recording with him.Tao Qingfeng was just puzzled. Although he was both in the Ministry of Officials waiting for Shuan to be selected, there was a clear difference between Yan Dansheng and his usual errands.This is the third month they have been waiting for. Yan Dansheng has probably been confirmed to be recorded by one of the six films, but he doesn't know when he will wait.

Unexpectedly, this time the boss assigned the hard work to Yan Tansheng, Tao Qingfeng thought: Did the above mean to "harden and hone" Third Young Master Yan?

On the way, the sun became hotter and hotter, and there were no deserted villages and shops on the way, so they drove the horses to the stream and sat down in the shade of a tree.

Tao Qingfeng untied his rucksack, took out the steamed stuffed bun, steamed buns and water bottle, and handed them to Yan Dansheng who was looking through his rucksack with a look of annoyance.

"Thank you, I thought there was a restaurant and inn on the way..." Yan Dansheng didn't bring anything to eat.

Tao Qingfeng laughed and thought: Sure enough, the higher-ups want to train this young master, the other party probably thought he could go to a restaurant and inn to listen to a little song, play some flute, and sing poems with the literati and poets who are out on a green trip to relieve boredom?

Tao Qingfeng brought a lot of buns.Yan Tansheng took it bluntly, took a bite and was shocked, "Where can I find it? It's better than Xu Guangji's buns."

Naturally, Tao Qingfeng had never eaten the expensive Xu Guangji steamed stuffed bun, which was worth a tael of silver, and said with a smile, "I can't buy it. My mother made it."

Yan Dansheng ate carefully: "Sure enough, I can't buy it." While eating, Yan Dansheng pointed to the stream where the horse drew water in surprise. Guo: "There is a nest of eggs over there."

Tao Qingfeng glanced at it and said, "It's wild duck's eggs, it's delicious."

Yan Dansheng looked at Tao Qingfeng and his eyes changed: "Can you still eat?"

Tao Qingfeng nodded: "Yes. But it's summer now, and it's not too hungry. Let's eat in autumn."

Yan Tansheng agreed: "Guangchuan is right. Hunting and fishing should not be done in the spring and summer. Eat it in autumn."

Yan Dansheng seemed particularly happy.After eating and drinking, he stretched his waist, leaned against the tree stump behind him, and said with a smile: "The sun is too hot, so let's take a short nap and refresh ourselves before going on the road."

Tao Qingfeng said: "Brother Yan, rest, I'm not sleepy, I'm going to get some fodder for the horse."

Yan Tansheng was concerned: "Let's go together? How to do it? Don't pull the grass with your hands, some sharp grass will be cut by your hands."

Tao Qingfeng smiled: "The so-called getting fodder is just to lead the horses to a place where the water plants are more luxuriant - they should have finished eating the first round. You rest."

Even if the above meant that the young master came to practice, Tao Qingfeng thought, how could he really let Yan Dansheng go to work.

But Yan Dansheng still went with Tao Qingfeng to lead the horse, and happily identified a bunch of grasses. He was not afraid of revealing his lack of knowledge in the field, but tried his best to talk to Tao Qingfeng, and finally found a species he recognized.

"I know this, a kind of black beans, one of the five grains that will be used in sacrifices. But why should they be planted by the water? This is not like a farmland." Yan Dansheng's hand gently caressed the young bean seedlings.

Tao Qingfeng said: "It's a black wild bean, it grows casually, there is no human race. But don't pull it out." Tao Qingfeng said calmly: "When the hungry people nearby can't eat enough in autumn, it can save their lives."

Yan Tansheng's mood suddenly became depressed, and after a while, he said, "Guangchuan, where do you want to go to Liubu?"

Tao Qingfeng's idea was determined a long time ago: "I want to go to the Hongwen Bureau or Xiuwen Museum of the Ministry of Rites, and then enter the Imperial College. That's where I can go and what I can do."

Yan Tansheng was silent for a while, and said: "We will all become good officials."

Tao Qingfeng smiled, and said seriously: "I just want to be an upright official, but I can't be a good official in the true sense. But you can. Brother Yan."

Yan Dan pondered, and asked: "Isn't an upright official a good official?"

Tao Qingfeng said: "Brother Yan has something to think about, and he must have the answer in his heart."

Yan Tansheng nodded and said, "So you want to go to the so-called place where honest officials can be good officials, I understand."

Tao Qingfeng nodded, Yan Dansheng has always been so smart, he really understands.Judging from his birth experience, this is actually not easy.But Tao Qingfeng thought: Yan Dansheng is always different, different from those people.

Yan Dansheng returned to sit under the shade of the tree just now, this time he really showed a little tiredness, leaned back against the tree stump, and quickly closed his eyes.But he was always moving around, with lumpy tree trunks on his back, which made him very uncomfortable, and he couldn't sleep well.

Tao Qingfeng sat next to Yan Dansheng and packed the package again.Yan Dansheng dozed off and leaned on Tao Qingfeng's shoulder.

Tao Qingfeng's body froze, he was careful not to move, and tried his best to adjust his shoulders so that he could lean on a slightly softer place.

It's a pity that Tao Qingfeng is really too thin, and he can't save a little meat on his shoulders.Yan Dansheng opened his eyes in a daze, with a trace of resentment in his tone: "What pillow...it's dead..."

Tao Qingfeng turned his head, and jokingly said in a rare way: "I'm sorry, it seems that the dilapidated shoulder pillow is a good head for Brother Yan."

Yan Dansheng was only half awake now, stunned, showing a trace of suspicious annoyance, but rolled his eyes again, and hurriedly said: "Then why not, if I lean on Brother Guangchuan's respectable leg, I will have this blessing?" Saying so Yan Dansheng even stepped forward a few inches.Originally, the official uniforms the two of them were wearing were hot, but as they got closer, they felt a trace of heat on their faces.

Tao Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, a little at a loss, but then smiled and said: "Brother Yan is so energetic, let's go as soon as possible."

Seeing this, Yan Dansheng retreated with a smile, and rode back on the road.The two of them have learned one of the "Royalty" in the sixth primary arts, and their riding skills are very good.On time, the recorded chapters and posts were sent to the "Jinzuo Recording Academy".

When the ancient yellow dust road gradually faded away, Yan Dan's dream was vaguely involved in another scene.

In front of him was a tall container like a deep cauldron, in which was burning the Zhang Gao flame that he least liked to see.Strangely, Yan Tan didn't feel dizzy, probably because he was already in a dream.

He was coughing, and there were crying sounds from the people around him, but he couldn't see those blurred figures clearly, only the fire was flickering in his eyes.

Something in the cauldron was burned in the flames.

Yan Tan felt that she was coughing, and laughed while coughing, and said to the people around her, "Don't cry. I'm very happy."

He added: "Don't suffocate my old bones, open the window and let the fire grow."

He raised his hand, which belonged to the old man's wrinkled and skinny hands, into the air, to feel the breeze blowing in.

"Open the window wider..." He coughed, "Let the fire...be bigger. The wind...be bigger."

He stared at the blazing flames, the books inside had been reduced to ashes, like gray butterflies, licked into the air by the flames, and then shattered into powder.

Yan Tan realized in his dream that he was not dizzy from the fire, he just wanted to see a shadow in the fire, and when the wind blew in, that shadow seemed to rise from the depths of the flame.But his eyesight was blurred and he couldn't see clearly.

It doesn't matter, the wind fuels the fire, the wind will go with him, the wind will go thousands of miles, go to Huangquan, to Wangchuan.The wind cannot be chased, but the next life can be chased.

The afterlife...is chaseable.

In the foggy tunnel-like darkness, Yan Dan was half awake and half dreaming, two profound thoughts resurfaced in Yan Dan's mind, one from the past, one from the present and the future.

Guangchuan, who are you?

Guangchuan, I still can't...don't like you.

Yan Tan opened his eyes and woke up.As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Tao Qingfeng bowed his head and looked at him with concern.He slept comfortably on Tao Qingfeng's lap.

"Mr. Yan, are you alright?"

Bits of dreams flashed before Yan Tan's eyes. Ever since he had an unscientific guess about Tao Qingfeng's identity, he became a little more suspicious about his related dreams.What is the relationship between Yan Dan in the dream and herself after waking up?

Could it be that the scene in the dream was not imagined by him, but real, existing in his mind?

What makes Yan Dan feel this more clearly is the "black wild bean".

I have never been to the countryside since I was a child, and I have never seen this kind of beans.If dreams are all people's own imagination based on real experience, why would he dream of something that he has never seen before and still speaks clearly?

There is also the rare official signature of "Jinzuo Cuanlu Yuan", according to its function in the dream, Yan Dan thought, this should be the place called "Cunwenguan" in the historical materials.There is no name "Jinzue Recording Academy" left.Can you invent it yourself?

While thinking, Yan Tan got up and said to Tao Qingfeng, "Thank you, I'm fine, don't worry."

The flames where the two vehicles collided have been extinguished.Yan Tan called the car insurance company. This kind of accident that is not the fault of the owner should be paid in full.

Yan Dan greeted Tao Qingfeng to come over to the driveway, and the two waited for a taxi together.Tao Qingfeng asked: "What's the matter with Mr. Yan's dizziness?"

Yan Tan said: "When I was young, I sat in a car and saw a forest fire in the distance for the first time. When I saw the fire, I thought there was something in it. But I didn't know what it was. I thought it was a ghost. , This kind of imagination leads to fear in my heart. So I have a protective measure of stress, which makes me dizzy and lose consciousness when I see a big fire again. But the small flame of cooking at home will not, and neither will the lighter. "

Tao Qingfeng said: "So that's the case, we must try our best to avoid seeing the fire."

Yan Tan was thoughtful, "But I may have found a way to overcome the dizziness. Once I know that the thing in the fire is not a ghost, I shouldn't be dizzy."

Tao Qingfeng asked curiously, "What is the thing in the fire?"

Yan Tan said: "I dreamed. It was a book, a lot of books. It was thrown into the fire."

Tao Qingfeng was even more surprised: "dream of such a thing?"

Yan Tan shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Recently... I always think about some strange things." I also dreamed of Tao Qingfeng, but Yan Tan wouldn't say it.

Tao Qingfeng asked: "Thinking of something strange?"

Yan Tan didn't answer, but asked instead: "Guangchuan, who are you?"

Tao Qingfeng was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat, thinking that Yan Dan had discovered some secret of his identity, he was nervously thinking about how to answer.Yan Tan had already said to himself: "Of course, this is what Socrates proposed. Each of us should ask who we are. Recently, I have always been thinking about the strange question of who I am."

Tao Qingfeng echoed and asked, "So, Teacher Yan, have you figured it out yet?"

Yan Tan didn't answer again, and continued to ask: "Guangchuan, do you think that it is his body, race, memory, personality, habits, etc. that determine who a person is?"

Tao Qingfeng was silent for a while, then shook his head: "I think it's the soul."

Tao Qingfeng couldn't tell, he himself had such an experience.The body has changed, the memory has been read, the race and time and space have changed, the character can be disguised, and the habit can be cultivated... But he is Tao Qingfeng from the Great Chu more than 1000 years ago, not Tao Qing, the original owner of the body.

Yan Tan said: "I agree with you. It's the soul."

This was also one of the bases for his horrified guess about Tao Qingfeng.

This is also one of Yan Tan's occasional wandering thoughts after waking up from the dream: Who is he?own soul?Yan Dan's soul?is it one?

Regardless of whether it is a soul or not, Yan Tan feels that this has something to do with liking Tao Qingfeng.Although he always likes more and deeper in his dreams, and when he wakes up, it's like a glass shell, but occasionally, behind the shell, there are small crabs knocking on the ice, just about to move.

Even though he didn't know the origin, he still couldn't control his liking.Yan Tan thought to himself: the reservedness that persuaded herself not to like it has been thrown away.This kind of thing is neither reasonable nor can it be accurately measured, and it cannot be like adding medicine to a test tube, making it think more and less.

——Whether the flowerpot is there or not, I still like you, and I can't stop liking you.Although I can't tell how many there are, but I will like it in my own way so that you don't feel troubled.This has nothing to do with you.
