did you lie today

After autumn, the Baodai River flows quietly into the distance like a ribbon.

The black-haired young man was holding a fishing rod, and was sitting leaning under a tree by the river. There was a fishing basket at his feet, empty.

Not far away, the middle-aged man put the fish into the basket, washed his hands and lit a cigarette, and he turned his head to look.

The young man had a slender figure, his facial features were sharp and sharp, his face was so pale that it was almost transparent, his lips were bloodless, and he was seriously ill, as if he would faint at any time.

When the middle-aged man came, the young man was there, and by now, his catch was plentiful, and there was nothing in the other party's basket.

But he didn't mean to look down on him at all, but instead gave birth to a kind of admiration and incredible.

Because the middle-aged man saw with his own eyes that the young man lifted the pole frequently, and every time a fish would be hooked, but he put all the fish he caught back into the river, and kept fishing and releasing the fish like this for most of the day.

I don't know what I want to catch, or I have nothing to do and I'm just looking for fun.

The middle-aged man saw that the young man caught a crucian carp weighing about one catty, and threw it into the river.It's incredible.

The middle-aged man wanted to get close and ask for advice, but for some reason, he dared not go there.

A seemingly weak junior actually made him afraid, evil.

The old-fashioned ringing ringing phone rings suddenly, loudly and harshly.

The middle-aged man's cigarette flickered, he thought that kind of ringtone was old-fashioned, but now young people still use it.

The strange thing is that this youth uses it, it is not obtrusive at all, and it is quite harmonious.

The dark-haired youth answered the phone.

A muffled voice came from the other end: "Chang'an, I failed to accomplish anything."

"Go home and wait for me."

Gu Changan put the phone back into his pocket, took off the black-rimmed glasses on the narrow bridge of his nose, pinched the base of his nose, and let out a gloomy breath. He came out in the morning, but now he has nothing.

It was really a bad start today.

In the eyes of others, Gu Changan was fishing, but no one knew that his fishing purpose was different from everyone else's.

There is a huge secret hidden in this-he is not fishing, but fishing for lies.

Water is the spirit of all things.

No matter standing by the river or living near the river, whenever someone tells a lie, the lie will be sucked by the river and eventually swallowed into the belly of the fish.

The Gu family was born with a special ability to catch these fish that swallowed lies, and then listen to them one by one to find out some desired lies.

The chance of others catching a lie fish is extremely low, but the Gu family is sure to catch one.

In Gu Changan's generation, he is the only one left in the Gu family, and the old man's last words are still in his ears.

"Wow!" There was a sound of water coming out, and a silvery white crucian carp was fished out of the water by Gu Changan with its tail flicking. He listened attentively, and there was a sound coming from the belly of the fish.

"Honey, you have to believe me, Xiaoli from the company and I are really just ordinary friends, of course I love you the most!"

Gu Changan threw the fish back into the river without even looking at it, such a silly lie that was of no value at all.

Splashes of water sounded, accompanied by a delicate voice: "My dear, you are so wonderful, it makes me so happy, I love you to death."

"Plop..." Another fish was thrown back into the water.

The sun went down, and still no lies of real value were caught.

Gu Chang'an's brows were full of hostility, and his light-colored lips were straightened. Damn, I probably won't be able to sleep again tonight.

There are a lot of lies in this river, and there is a story behind every lie, only the kind of important lies are the targets of Gu Changan, he doesn't care about the others, if he doesn't care, it's none of his business.

Besides, some people are willing to live a lie.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled, and the water surface was covered with a layer of golden light.

Gu Changan was about to set off to go back when the float swayed again. He lifted the pole and reeled in the line. It was a black fish with long chopsticks and dark scales, exuding a greasy luster.

Gu Changan listened with half-closed eyelids.

"Hello, is this Uncle He? I'm He Jian's colleague."

"It's like this. He Jian borrowed 3 yuan from me last week and said he would pay it back this Monday. But when I called him, he said he didn't have any money. If you want money, let me ask your second elder. Yes. , Yes, yes, everyone got to know each other once, and I am not an ignorant person, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me clearly, it is really difficult for me to deal with him now."

"Ah, He Jian went to Yunnan? When did it happen, just two days ago? Well, let's talk about it when he comes back."

"It's okay, Uncle He, you don't need to apologize. I'm not in a hurry for the money right now, so let's talk about it when He Jian comes back. Well, okay, goodbye."

After Gu Changan heard the lies in the fish's belly, he leaned forward with his upper body, brought the fish to his eyes, and looked at it closely.

There is a red light in the fish's eyes, which is a phenomenon only after swallowing a special lie.

The corners of Gu Chang'an's lips curved into an arc, his expression was happy, he was very good, he could finally stop eating fish for two or three months.

The middle-aged man also started to pack his fishing gear. When the young man passed by his side, he couldn't help but glance.

Gu Changan lifted his eyelids, and smiled lazily: "Uncle, you have watched it many times today, and you haven't seen enough?"

The middle-aged man looked at the young man with a kind smile in front of him, his scalp numb unconsciously, he swallowed dryly, unable to utter a complete syllable in his throat.

The smile on Gu Changan's lips suddenly disappeared.

The middle-aged man held his breath, he shivered subconsciously, and drove away with his fishing gear without saying a word.

Gu Changan put away his playfulness, and slowly rode his bicycle back.

Sitting at the door of the house was a man with a crew cut and a simple and honest face. When he heard the car bell, he immediately stood up and stretched out his body. He was tall, burly and strong.

Gu Changan put the car by the wall: "Lost the key again?"

Wu Dabing said, "No, I forgot to bring it."

Gu Changan didn't bother to say anything, and threw the key to him directly.

Wu Dabing opened the door with his head down: "That family pretends not to be at home."

Gu Changan stepped over the threshold: "Cook first."

Wu Dabing knew that Gu Changan was in a bad mood when he was hungry, so he hurried to the kitchen to work.

After a while, the smell of oily smoke wafted from the kitchen.

Wu Dabing is the adopted son of the Gu family. He only knows that his surname is Wu, but nothing else.

Old man Gu has good intentions, and his son is weak and sick. He named him Chang'an in the hope that he will be safe forever.

Old man Gu also took the name of Wu Big Bing. He lives up to his name. He has never been sick since he was a child, and his body is as strong as a cow.

The names of the two are connected together, but there is no serious illness, so Chang'an.

Old man Gu had already calculated that his son's life was still long, there were many things to do, and there were also inevitable dangers. He needed a trusted aide to take care of him, and Wu's serious illness was the most suitable candidate.

Wu Dabing didn't say a word to the outside world, nor did he ask any questions, he listened to Gu Changan's words.

There are only two of them in the family, and they have always worked together.

Wu Dabing is dull and upright, he can solve some small lies that don't use his brain, but Gu Chang'an can only solve the more complicated ones.

After dinner, Gu Changan sat in front of the basin, bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood into the basin, the clear water turned a strange blood red, the black fish writhed violently a few times, and spit out a glass ball from its mouth.

That is a lie.

Gu Changan quickly grabbed the glass ball and stuffed it into a special bottle. He pressed the cork and put the bottle in the black box beside the bed, feeling a little tired between his brows.

"You can figure out what to do with this fish."

Wu Dabing thought for a while and said, "Let's make some soup, I'll drink it for you, it's good for your health."

Gu Changan frowned childishly: "I don't want to drink."

Wu Dabing stopped talking.

Gu Chang'an took out the bottle that was given to Wu Dabing during the day, pulled out the cork and listened to the lies inside.

"How is that possible? I would never do such a thing as throwing garbage downstairs. I usually take it down and throw it in the trash can. I don't know. I'm sleeping at home in the afternoon."

This lie involved injuring someone with a high-altitude throwing object, so he was not thrown back into the river by Gu Changan.

Wu's serious illness did not get things done.

Gu Changan nestled in the rocking chair with his eyelids closed, thoughtful.

Wu Dabing sat upright and did not disturb him.

After a while, Gu Changan set off with the bottle of lies, and went to the community where the person involved was. Wu Sickness didn't stay to watch the house, so he followed.

There was a chill in the night wind.

Gu Changan had a headache, he zipped up his coat and put on his baseball cap: "You wait here, I will call you in half an hour."

After the words fell, his figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.

The neighborhood is old and the street lights are dim.

Gu Changan did not wander around, he went to the square following the sound of the square dance, inquired about some things with the elders and aunts, then went to the property management office, and after thinking about the countermeasures, he returned the same way, called Wu Dabing and went straight to the 29th building building.

The house was on the seventh floor, and there was no elevator, so it was necessary to climb up level by level.

Gu Changan's face was ugly.

Wu Dabing turned his back to him: "Chang'an, you come up, I'll carry you on my back."

Gu Changan said no, but when he reached the fifth floor, he was out of breath.

Wu Dabing stood below in fear, with his arms outstretched, fearing that he would fall down the stairs.

Gu Changan climbed up to the seventh floor by grabbing the handrails, his back was wet with sweat, he squatted halfway for breath, his lips were blue: "Go...go knock on the door."

Wu Dabing knocked, and a voice came from inside, asking who it was?

He did not speak according to what Chang'an taught.

After about ten seconds, the door opened, and a young woman poked her head out.

Gu Chang'an raised his head, the shadow under the brim of his hat disappeared, and he showed good-looking eyebrows and eyes. Under the light, he has a delicate beauty, harmless to humans and animals.

The vigilance of the young woman dropped to the minimum in an instant.

Gu Changan pursed his lips: "Ma'am, the people outside didn't respond, it was a wrong choice to open the door hastily."

The young woman's heart was beating wildly. She pinned her broken hair behind her ears and said with a blushing face, "I...I usually ask..."

Gu Changan said, "Last Tuesday was the garbage you threw downstairs."

The little deer in the young woman's heart immediately hiccupped: "You are talking nonsense!"

Gu Changan looked at her and said, "I saw it."

The young woman quickly closed the door, and reached in with a hand to press the door frame. The door couldn't be closed, and she looked flustered: "What do you want to do?"

Wu's serious illness prevented the woman from closing the door.

Gu Changan said unhurriedly, "I live right across from you. That day I was basking in the sun on the balcony, and I witnessed the process of you throwing garbage and hurting children."

The young woman screamed in her heart, Impossible!If you really saw it, why didn't you expose it?

Gu Changan said: "There is an urgent matter at home. I just came here today. I didn't expect you to not stand up and take responsibility."

The young woman was dubious. She returned to the living room after throwing out the trash that day. She didn't pay attention to the other side. She wasn't sure whether the person was speaking human words or nonsense.

Gu Changan crackled and said: "Ma'am, falling objects from heights is one of the top ten uncivilized behaviors. It is not only immoral, but also very dangerous. It will cause many safety hazards. If you hurt someone, it is already an infringement and constitutes a crime."

The young woman's face was pale.

Gu Changan swept the woman up and down: "I asked, the child is not life-threatening, and the medical expenses totaled more than 3000, the necklace on your neck is worth several thousand to ten thousand, the skirt on your body is several hundred, and the beads on your left hand are one thousand. Above, the medical expenses are nothing to you."

The young woman takes a breath.

This man can speak well, his eyes are poisonous, he is not as fragile as his appearance at all!

"If you refuse to admit it, I will use legal means to spend time with you." Gu Changan smiled and continued to talk nonsense seriously, "I forgot to say that I am a lawyer."

The young woman was scared at first, then contemptuous. What about the lawyer? The surveillance didn’t catch it.

She looked wronged: "Believe it or not, I didn't throw the garbage."

Gu Changan looked directly into the woman's eyes, and there was no warmth in the eyes behind the lenses: "Since this is the case, then I have nothing to say."

The young woman recalled the cold gaze of the young man when he left, as if she was being stared at by a poisonous snake, and her whole body was chilling. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she couldn't bear to chase down the stairs.

"wait wait wait!"

As the woman turned herself in and the moment the lie was exposed, the glass ball in the bottle shattered and turned into a wave of energy invisible to the naked eye, and the light bottle became a bit heavy.

Gu Changan shook the bottle, there was a faint roar of pain inside, he flicked the body of the bottle with his fingers, and one was done.

Wu's serious illness was numb throughout.

Gu Changan stretched his waist: "In your heart, I am the most hypocritical liar in the world, right?"

Wu Dabing shook his head: "You are the best person in the world."

Gu Chang'an said, "What a silly boy."

Wu Dabing smiled naively.

There is another world under the ground of the Gu family's old house.

In the middle of the night, Gu Changan opened the mechanism of the study, took a bottle containing energy, and entered the secret passage with a candlestick.
