beloved does not come back

Strolled around the street a few times, finished dinner, and it was already dark when we returned to the hotel.Yu Lang called the policeman in charge of contacting them, hung up the phone and said:

"Fu Yidong has an alibi?"

"what?"

"After he left the horse's house that night, he went to his lover's house. They were together the whole night, and the woman can testify."

"What if that woman gives false testimony?" Jiang Tianxiao asked.

"The camera outside that woman's house did not capture Fu Yidong."

"...Okay. Then when can we leave?" Jiang Tianxiao really didn't want to stay here any longer.

"It's hard to say." Yu Lang's expression was also a little irritated: "Just say that the current case has not progressed and is still under investigation."

"Um……"

The two went to take a shower separately. After the shower, Jiang Tianxiao still confessed his thoughts to Lang: "I want to make an appointment with you."

"and then?"

"Shall we... test him?"

"Alright," Yu Lang urged, "but you have to be careful what you say, understand?"

"I see."

At noon the next day, Jiang Tianxiao and Yu Langlongke met Fu Yidong.

Fu Yidong held a young girl in his arms, but it wasn't the last time he saw that in the hospital.He was wearing a suit, and the gleaming gold belt couldn't cover his fat belly, it could only get stuck under it.

"Boss Yu," Fu Yidong said with a bitter face, reeking of alcohol, "what's the matter? I was bullied by those bastards from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau yesterday so that I couldn't even find my house... Ouch, you're looking for me again today."

"It's nothing." Yu Lang smiled: "We can't leave now if we stay in Wuwei, and we don't know anyone else, so we can only look for you."

"Oh——" Fu Yidong poured a glass of boiled water by himself, and swallowed it in two gulps: "This time, I can count it as a blessing in disguise. Hey, there is a piece of land here that just attracts investment. I think it looks good. I'm going to buy it and make a new one." Tourist town...”

"Tourist town?" Long Ke answered, "Very good. I went to a bar yesterday—there are too few bars here. You should build a tourist town. I suggest that you build a bar street or something."

"Yes!" Fu Yidong patted the girl's thigh with his hand: "Boss Long, your business sense is very sensitive!"

"Why am I sensitive?" Long Ke smiled and shook his head: "I just love to play—oh, by the way, a famous entrepreneur like you returns to his hometown to invest, doesn't he get a lot of discounts?"

"Are there any discounts?" Fu Yidong said meaningfully, "There must be some discounts. Cough, it depends on who it is, right?"

"Speaking of which," Yu Lang said, "I bought medicine yesterday, and it was from Lanzhou Dongri Pharmaceutical Factory."

"Yo?" Fu Yidong grinned: "I'm not bragging, you can go and see in Gansu, there is no pharmacy that doesn't have the medicine from our factory."

"Boss Fu," Jiang Tianxiao put down his chopsticks, and said suddenly, "I saw your factory's poetry special on the Internet, and it was published on "Lanzhou Poems."

Fu Yidong laughed loudly: "Do you know why it was published?"

"Uh, why?" Jiang Tianxiao wanted to ask Fu Yidong why he wrote the song "Diary", but Fu Yidong asked him back.

"The editor-in-chief of that magazine—I'm just kidding you because you're not locals—had an affair with his cousin, hey, his cousin got sick, and he begged me to buy imported medicine for his cousin..."

"Why don't you say it," Fu Yidong squeezed his eyes: "We really don't understand art, the realm is too high!"

After a meal, no valuable information was pried out of Fu Yidong's mouth.Jiang Tianxiao couldn't tell whether Fu Yidong did it on purpose or just did it. He didn't hide his attitude, but what he said was all irrelevant gossip.

Back at the hotel, Long Ke shrugged his shoulders towards Yu Lang: "I think it's normal to pay Yidong."

Yu Lang nodded.

Long Ke turned to look at Jiang Tianxiao: "I often help those bosses look at Feng Shui in Chongqing, Xiao Jiang, you may be too sensitive, I think Fu Yidong and those bosses have the same virtue."

"Ah... um." Indeed, judging from Fu Yidong's speech and behavior, he is just a philistine businessman.

Tomorrow is the first seven of the Ma family.

In the funeral customs, the first seven days are very important and must be worshipped.From the perspective of a spiritualist, if the spirit of the deceased lingers, then the first seven days are the time when the spirit is most prone to accidents.Weaker souls can't withstand the erosion of human yang energy after the first seven days, and disappear in smoke; while stronger souls, after the first seven days, often completely lose their intelligence and become evil spirits or charms, or other types of spirits. ghost.

This is why people pay homage to the dead on the first seven days, and when the soul still has some wisdom and memory, the living worship the dead, which helps the souls that have not dispersed to leave with peace of mind, similar to a kind of salvation.But on the other hand, Yu Lang told Jiang Tianxiao that powerful souls can leave the place where they died, but in the first seven hours, as if attracted by some kind of magnetic field, these souls will return to the place where they died

At this time, people light incense to worship, and the smoke from the incense can actually weaken the power of these souls to a certain extent.

Jiang Tianxiao immediately understood Yu Lang's meaning: "Then tomorrow, let's... go to Ma's house?"

Yu Lang frowned slightly and looked out the window: "I don't know if it's safe to do so. Although there is no police guarding that place, once we are discovered by the police, we will not be able to tell."

"How about that?" Long Ke raised his head from the phone: "Tell the police directly, the other relatives of the Ma family should be the first seven, right? Let's go and have a look."

"But they may not be the top seven in the Ma family." Yu Lang said.

"Look and see first." Long Ke paused, then turned his head away: "Recently, another robbery gang came out of Wuwei, and the police are so busy that they probably won't be able to take care of us."

Jiang Tianxiao nodded, and suddenly realized after a few seconds: "How do you know so clearly?"

"... Xiao Lin, who is in charge of contacting us, said it." Long Ke spoke very fast, barely opened his mouth, and spoke vaguely.

Xiaolin...is a very young policeman with thick eyebrows and big eyes, tall and broad shoulders.Probably not long after work, he was assigned to keep in touch with Jiang Tianxiao and the others.

Jiang Tianxiao was silent for a moment, then said, "You...are amazing."

Long Ke blinked and smiled, "We're just friends, we chat occasionally."

"Okay," Yu Lang interrupted Jiang Tianxiao's unrestrained imagination: "Then go prepare something and go to the Ma's house tomorrow night—however, the Ma family may not have souls left."

"Well, good." Jiang Tianxiao said in his heart, the death of the Ma family is so tragic, maybe the soul will linger?

In the evening, Yu Lang started to have a fever, 38 degrees Celsius. Jiang Tianxiao hurriedly fed him antipyretics, and then wanted to go out and buy alcohol to wipe his body to cool down physically.

"Don't go," Yu Lang said in a weak voice, "just take the medicine." His face was flushed red, and his lips were chapped and peeled.

Jiang Tianxiao stuffed Yu Lang's hand back into the bed, tucked the quilt tightly for him, and wrapped it into a ball.

"I'll be right back, and I need to buy some cotton swabs to wipe your lips." Jiang Tianxiao lowered his head and touched his lips to Yu Lang's face: "I'll call Long Ke over first."

Long Ke came, and when he saw this, he said "Damn it": "Does Yu Lang have a fever too?"

"Brother Long, take Teacher Yu's temperature." Jiang Tianxiao put on his coat, "I'll be back soon."

"Don't call me Brother Long!" Long Ke looked helpless.

There is a pharmacy on the next street, but the cotton swabs in the pharmacy happen to be sold out.Jiang Tianxiao had no choice but to walk for another half an hour to a pharmacy farther away to buy it.

After tossing back and forth for nearly an hour and a half, I finally returned to the hotel.

Arriving at the room, when standing in front of the door and preparing to take out the room card, Jiang Tianxiao lowered his head and suddenly found that there was a crack in the door of the room.

Did you forget to close the door when you went out?

In the next second, Jiang Tianxiao heard Long Ke's voice.

"Are you really fake?" Although it was a bit vague, it was audible to say with a smile: "Look, you are worrying about the children."

"I have a cold." Yu Lang replied.

"Can you catch a cold too?" Long Ke laughed again, and suddenly said in a deep voice, "Are you..."

His voice sank, and Jiang Tianxiao couldn't hear the second half of the sentence.

Yu Lang responded, "Yes."

"Then...how long?" Long Ke asked.

"I don't know, but two or three months should be fine." After Yu Lang finished speaking, he coughed twice.

"That's good." Long Ke paused for two seconds, and said, "Didn't everyone give him a spirit?"

Yu Lang didn't speak any more.

Jiang Tianxiao was waiting for Yu Lang's next words, but the glass bottle standing in the plastic bag fell down suddenly, and it collided with another bottle of alcohol, making a crisp "ding".

At this moment, Jiang Tianxiao's hairs stood on end!In desperation, he bent down, slipped his hand and hung the plastic bag on his wrist, and untied his shoelace twice.

Almost at the same time, Long Ke opened the door.

"Hey," Long Ke looked at Jiang Tianxiao: "...what are you doing?"

"The shoelaces are untied..." Jiang Tianxiao took off the plastic bag on his wrist: "Take it, I'll tie the shoelaces."

Long Ke took the plastic bag without saying anything.

After fastening the shoelaces, Jiang Tianxiao and Long Ke entered the room, and when he walked to the bed, Yu Lang opened his eyes and looked straight at him.

"...Is it still burning?" Jiang Tianxiao suppressed his chaotic heartbeat and asked Yu Lang softly.

"I'm fine," Yu Lang said with a gentle expression, "Is it cold outside?"

"It's okay." Jiang Tianxiao looked away, took out alcohol and cotton swabs from the plastic bag, and said to himself, "Physical cooling is the fastest."

Physical cooling requires wiping armpits and joints, Long Ke patted Jiang Tianxiao on the shoulder: "Then I'll go back first."

"okay."

After Long Ke left, Jiang Tianxiao found a paper cup and poured medical alcohol into it, then lifted Yu Lang's quilt and undressed him.

Soon, Yu Lang was left with only his underwear.Jiang Tianxiao frowned and didn't speak. He had too many doubts, and at the same time, he still had lingering fears.What did Yu Lang and Long Ke mean by what they said just now?Why did Long Ke ask him "Are you really fake?" Can Yu Lang still pretend to be sick?

Yu Lang said two or three months, what two or three months?

And Long Ke's sentence "Didn't everyone give him a spirit", who is "he"?Fu Yidong—or me?

So what if the spirit is released?

"Why don't you do it first?" Yu Lang suddenly held Jiang Tianxiao's hand that was holding a cotton swab to wipe his armpit, and said in a low voice, "I heard that if you do it at this time, your body will be hotter and very comfortable."

"Ah?!" Jiang Tianxiao bumped into Yu Lang's smiling eyes, and his entire back went numb.

"Huh?" Yu Lang's hand ran along Jiang Tianxiao's arm, and finally rubbed Jiang Tianxiao's cheek with the back of his hand: "Do you want to do it?"

"...No, no!" Jiang Tianxiao tilted his head to avoid Yu Lang's hand: "You have a fever."

"It's okay," Yu Lang chased after him with his hand, pinching Jiang Tianxiao's chin directly: "It's really okay."

"...No need, Yu Lang," Jiang Tianxiao didn't dare to look into Yu Lang's eyes, so he could only stare at the white sheet, and pressed Yu Lang's hand down: "Come on, wipe your crooked legs."

Yu Lang sighed vaguely and said nothing.
