auspicious baby

At noon, the sun was shining brightly.

In the suburbs, there are many mountains and valleys, and cars cannot enter.

A middle-aged man, not tall, claimed to be Gu Tingkun's subordinate back then. When he saw Gu Zhang with tears in his eyes, it seemed that the underground party had found an organization. His name was Liu Jiajie, and he was an ordinary guard next to Gu Tingkun back then. After receiving Gu Tingkun's favor, after their execution, he risked his life to pay the execution prison guards and buried his body in a place where no birds would shit.

Gu Zhang expressed his gratitude dubiously, and Li Hongtao behind him finally figured out the situation. It turned out that the watch was his father's relic.

Li Hongtao brought Lidi with him, and after the Chinese and Western believers worshiped and prayed in their own ways, and waited for the sun to set, they dug up several tombs that didn't even have tombstones and were not very obvious.

When digging a tomb, the straw mat on which the corpse was rolled was rotten. No matter how careful Gu Zhang was, he accidentally tore it apart, exposing the skeleton of his arm. I found out that the pattern above is peony flower, which is his mother's favorite flower. His mother said that the rich and the noble and the romantic are equal, and all the flowers bow their heads to the fragrant dust.

When peonies bloom, good luck comes.

Wrapped in peony clothes in the wilderness, Gu Zhang's chest was sore, his throat was so congested, his eyes were so dry and sore, he couldn't feel anything except the pain in his chest.

When digging the second tomb, two sections of braids with withered skulls were found. The braids were tied with plum-shaped hair accessories. The hair accessories had lost all luster and were stained with rust. At the age of 13, she has been extremely stinky since she was a child. She always steals her mother's rouge and gouache, secretly dresses up as a bride, and laughs at Gu Zhang, "Is the bride beautiful?"But she doesn't know how to use it, and she often wipes it as hard as a monkey-playing clown. Alas, she must have cried to death after walking so ugly.

The third hole, the fourth hole... Gu Zhang dug one after another with his bare hands, fearing that digging with an iron tip would touch them and disturb the souls of the dead.

His fingers were bleeding, but he didn't realize it. It was Gu Tingkun who made the last acupoint.

Several bones in his chest were broken, and the thigh bone was also broken. Gu Zhang felt as if he had been taken into his own soul, and he was sluggish and demented. Li Hongtao saw that he was not in the right mood, so he asked his guards to drag him away, and continued to wash his bones with Lidi. , relocate.

……

Gu Zhang poured it down, Baoxiang bent down and looked at him at the same level, Gu Zhang suddenly hugged him tightly, and kissed him desperately, the wine glass in his hand shattered.

The more Baoxiang struggled, the more presumptuous the movements of Gu Zhang's subordinates became. Enraged by him, Baoxiang opened his mouth and bit the side of his neck, biting hard, but Gu Zhang didn't say a word. Later, the fishy sweetness in his mouth slipped down his throat, and he let go. I opened my mouth.

He saw him holding his neck, blood flowing from between his fingers, his eyes were as dark as night, so deep that he couldn't see his emotions clearly.

Baoxiang gathered his messy clothes, refused to look at him again, and left.

A few days ago, Director Lin, who had nothing to do with the world, sat and watched Yun Shu Yunjuan on the top of the hill that he reclaimed by himself. He is not very old, but his heart is very old. In the officialdom, he suddenly got tired of experiencing several ups and downs, and seeing the messy situation, he hid in a small village with his wealth, wives, concubines and children. Although life was hard, the family was still neat and tidy. Director Lin is full of joy.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. When he came home in the evening, there was a mess in front of the door. He thought he had encountered a thief. These days, the thief just wanted to make money, so he rushed in unprepared, and saw a skinny young man. His subordinates tied up the whole family and covered their mouths with cloth heads.

The man reported his name as Lin Hengyu.

He said that he wanted to make a deal, and if he didn't agree, he would be at his own risk.

Director Lin is also the person who will become the director anyway, this intimidation did not frighten him, he calmly asked him, "What deal?"

It turned out that Lin Hengyu came here for Gu Tingkun's corpse. He did it carefully, lest Director Lin would lie to him, and he had to dig out the relics to attract Gu Zhang's bait, so he let his family go on the road together.

Baoxiang was forced to do nothing, but there was a leak in the house and it rained overnight, and news came that Master Wang had died suddenly.

The sky was still so blue, why did it look like it was about to collapse? Invisibly, Baoxiang stood under the bright sky, feeling out of breath.

Baoxiang refused to believe this no matter what, why did the old man who was blowing his nose and staring a while ago just leave.

Master Wang had no son or daughter, no relatives and no reason, so he left with no worries and cares. He had worked hard for the Yang family all his life, and Baoxiang couldn't ignore it. He had to personally handle all kinds of matters, such as shrouds, incense, money, and burial site selection. .

When I went to Master Wang's former residence, there were very few things. Except for the necessities of life, there were very few others, and it was not difficult to pack them up.

When the body collector from Yizhuang came to wash Master Wang's body, he ran out and whispered something to Baoxiang in the middle of the washing.

In recent days, Baoxiang was shocked by too much news, but when he heard that Master Wang might have died unexpectedly, his head was stuck, he couldn't figure it out, how could someone harm him!

"He has two tiny red spots on his back."

"That……!"

"Uh, presumably it was inserted into the lung with a needle."

Baoxiang frowned tightly, as if there was endless pressure, the knot between his brows could not be untied no matter what.

The corpse collector hesitated, normally he shouldn't have spoken, and he was afraid of getting into trouble, but when he saw it, his brain became hot, and he blurted out the words before he could think about it.

Baoxiang took a few deep breaths and asked him to continue, but he waved his hand and said it was just a random guess.Baoxiang knew his little thoughts, money is always omnipotent, and nothing can be done, but the money was not spent enough, and a few ingots of silver were enough to pry the corpse collector's mouth away.

He said, "It uses a long iron needle. The person should be made unconscious first, then inserted into the lungs, and electrified. After ten minutes of electrification, the person will suffocate and die. This way, it is clean and neat. The dead person I walked ignorantly, and I couldn’t see anything on the surface, but I was different, there were no more than a thousand dead bodies passing by my hands, and the cause of death could be seen at a glance.” Seeing Qian’s eyes open, the corpse collector usually looked at Qian A hard-bodied dead man with no one to yell at, today he received money and made a windfall, so happy that he forgot to show himself, and he flattered himself a few words by the way.

Unlike the corpse collector, Baoxiang's face was even more gloomy and full of anger, and he couldn't swallow his breath for being unclear about Master Wang's death, so he immediately called a car to go to the police Bureau report.

police station.

Lin Hengyu specially came to receive Baoxiang.

Baoxiang noticed that there were only Lin Hengyu and himself in Nuoda's reception room, and suddenly felt uneasy, "Where is the girl who came to take notes?"

"What's the matter, I think my position is not enough to receive you." Lin Hengyu joked.

"No."

Lin Hengyu dispelled his doubts, and said, "Today, a big man came to the bureau, and people were assigned to protect him, and it happened to be from this department."

After Baoxiang heard this, he didn't have much defense, and reported to Lin Hengyu the suspicion that Master Wang was killed.

Lin Hengyu's hand, which was taking notes, stopped, listened to his doubts with interest, and asked him if he had anyone he suspected.

After seeing him shaking his head, he said, "I heard that you have been looking for connections these days to get Mrs. Yang out."

"you have a way"

"I'm only an official, no, no, no. However, I know someone who can."

"Who?"

"Yamada Sukeya."

"He's just a Japanese, is that okay?" Baoxiang hesitated.

"Go and try."

"The case of Master Wang."

"We will send a forensic doctor to examine the body. Let's bury the body after the examination. It will be safe in the ground."

Baoxiang was really not in the mood to continue the conversation, so he said goodbye and left.He sat in the carriage, rubbing his swollen and aching head vigorously.

On that day, Baoxiang came out of Gu Zhang's place disheartened, quite disappointed, half for his aunt, half for Gu Zhang.He had no home to return to, and was wandering aimlessly in the street like a wandering ghost. When he met Congratulations, Congratulations took his hand, just like the underworld found an organization, and looked at Baoxiang with complicated emotions. For a long time, I was stunned and couldn't hold back a word.

Baoxiang patted him on the shoulder with a wry smile, "It's okay."

"You..." Congratulations actually wanted to ask whether his life experience was true or not, but suddenly he was so blessed that he stopped talking, whether true or false, healthy or incomplete, you are still you, why bother to ask people to respond, A fool becomes wise at a critical moment.

"Let's go, let's go home."

Where is "home"

"Battle Commander Gu Zhang drove away Zhang Chunming's former husband." The words were hard to pronounce, but Baoxiang understood.This fool, with tiles covering his head is his home, he has a really big heart in his chest.And that Gu Zhang, it was getting harder and harder for him to figure it out.

The story is developing, people are growing, Baoxiang stands sadly at the intersection, pedestrians are hurrying, shouting one after another, at the intersection of three forks, different people can only take one step at a time, he feels that at this moment In the middle of the three-way road, looking at this, looking at that, familiar and unfamiliar, do not want to choose, do not want to see and contact, many times, he feels that he is a different kind, different from ordinary people, different from others.

He tried his best to blend in, even put his hope in ghosts and gods, prayed to God, and imitated normal men, but when he was caught by a light newspaper, everything was torn to pieces, including his self-esteem.

He lowered his head, followed Gong Xi, and walked back to the old residence that Gu Zhang gave him.

Meng Tingwei's whereabouts became a mystery, but no one cared about it anymore. Zhang Chunming seemed to be doing nothing, scrubbing the courtyard house. In fact, Gu Yue's maids felt it, not because they minded, but because they were so disappointed that they didn't care. up.

The relationship between her and Meng Weiting was well known in the streets at that time, how disappointing and desperate that man must be if a woman wanted to be shaved or become a monk.

Zhang Chunming followed Xiangu to believe in Buddhism and worshiped Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. She felt that she had been turned upside down for half her life and had sinned. She recited scriptures every day and ate a vegetarian diet to pay for her sins.The sin is not the sin, but the sin of the heart.
