born to ashes

Cheng Jiezhi didn't know when he straightened his body upright, and called over there in a low voice: "Long time no see, Lu Chen."

Lu Chen found it.

For several weeks, I just watched quietly from the outside of the fence, less than an hour a day, watching Cheng Jiezhi sitting in a wheelchair around the gravel path in the yard, sometimes, Cheng Jiezhi would go back Yes, he was still in a daze.

His solution was thinner.

sick.

I was too lazy to move, and now I am even more lethargic than before.

Before I knew it, I could think of some old things. When I was in school, Cheng Jiezhi, who was wearing a school uniform, sat on a ponytail and stretched his legs to drink steamed soy milk. Cheng Jiezhi, who was fighting with a brick, was serious about cooking a bowl of unpalatable noodles.

His solution, why can't he just sit in a wheelchair and be pushed to bask in the sun?

Yan went back to the building and invited a new master from the south of the Yangtze River. It is said that the West Lake vinegared fish dish is so superb that no one can keep up with it. Wei Linze just ate it.

This is the second time he has come to Yanhuilou, the first time is for favors, and the second time is also for favors.

But the first time it was Teacher Shan who repaid his love, this time, it was him who repaid his love.It has been several months since the day at the police station, and Wei Linze was not unwilling during this period, because he really didn't have time to call Han Huai and Jiang Qi out for dinner.

This is Wei Linze's first time seeing Jiang Qia. There is not much difference between the real person and the photo on the marriage certificate. However, it may be that he has stayed at home for a while, his skin has turned whiter, and his ponytail is neatly tied. , wearing a bohemian shawl and shorts suspenders in the early autumn weather, she still looks like she is going to wander the world at any time.

It seems that it should not be said that this woman accepted Han Huai, a prodigal son, but how could such an unfettered girl be subdued by a man like Han Huai who is rooted in one place?

Wei Linze thanked him first, and Jiang Qi smiled heartily, "There's nothing to thank, it's what it should be, besides, it's not really my help, I'm not very understanding of the world, Thanks to my cousin who was willing to help."

A copper pot was placed in the center of the table, surrounded by ingredients and cooked dishes. Han Huai didn't interrupt much the whole time. Taking advantage of Wei Linze's treat, he ordered a table of dishes and ate hard. He kept reminding, "The golden needle is ready!" Yes, the beef is cooked and the tofu is ready to eat."

He picked up a few chopsticks of West Lake Vinegar Fish, and then tasted the shrimp slippery, "The shrimp slippery has to wait."

Then put the dipped beef in sauce to Jiang Qia.

Jiang Qi's phone vibrated, she tilted her head and opened her mouth, stared at the screen and pressed a few times, Han Huai directly stuffed the beef into her mouth.

She chewed the meat and said, "My cousin is just coming to pick me up and go back to my grandma's house, why don't you ask him to come in and meet?"

Before Wei Linze could speak, Han Huai interrupted: "I've never met this very powerful cousin, but I guess you two should have a good temper. It is said that he has been abroad for the past few years and is also studying ancient literature."

"It's an ancient character." Jiang Qi corrected him, "My grandfather was a civil servant before, and the name of the younger generation was picked up from poems by the old man. As a result, the younger generation is all gentle and gentle, and I am the only one out there. Scum."

"Is it up to you? It's all about the name. Other people's names belong to Qin Ruxu and Qin Ruyuan, but you're like 'a river of spring water flowing eastward'. Isn't it really flowing?"

Wei Linze didn't bother to watch the sweet couple show off their affection. In fact, his memory is not very good. If it is an irrelevant name, even if he has heard it a few times before, he may not remember it, but the name "Qin Ruxu" is not Same.

Ask him how clear it is?

At this time, the door of the private room was knocked three times.

"You haven't been back for many years. The old man can't wait any longer, so he insisted that I come pick you up quickly." Qin Ruxu stood at the door with a gentle smile on his face.

"Brother..." Jiang Qi called him, and then introduced: "This is the Wei Linze I just told you about, and that is Han Huai."

"Hello." Qin Ruxu greeted politely.

Han Huai froze in place.

No way, is there really such a similar person in this world?Evil door.

That Qin Ruxu, clearly looks like the long-haired, coquettish slut named Josh that he met that day.The nose, eyes and mouth are clearly perfect.However, these two personalities are so different. Even though they are so similar, he is sure that he must recognize them.

Josh's face, looking at it through the eyes, is beautiful, even if he stands there doing nothing, the attractive charm can radiate from his bones.But Qin Ruxu is different, with the same delicate facial features, but when people evaluate him, I am afraid that no one will use the word beautiful, because his gentle and elegant temperament has already blurred his appearance, and he is afraid that he met him head-on. I couldn't help but think, this is a real nobleman.

He turned his head to look at Wei Linze, who knew that Wei Linze's expression was normal, as if seeing this face for the first time, he also showed his usual courtesy to strangers, went up to shake hands: "Hi, I'm Wei Linze. "

"Mr. Wei, hello," Qin Ruxu chose the title of teacher, and he knew that he was quite reasonable by just one title, "I am Qin Ruxu."

Han Huai looked at these two polite people in a daze, his heart filled with disbelief.

He forcibly held back the suspicion that Josh was the illegitimate son of the Qin family.

This kind of thinking, where can it be done by illegitimate children, it must be twins, or identical twins.

Gene recombination and mutation are really powerful, Han Huai couldn't help but sigh.

Qin Ruxu wanted to say something more, but the phone rang suddenly. He glanced at the screen and said embarrassedly, "I'm afraid the elderly at home are in a hurry."

He glanced at the text message from Qin Ruyuan and reminded Jiang Qi in a low voice, "Take it easy when you go back this time, it's really your fault that Han Huai's matter should be cut first and played later. Grandpa is afraid that he will educate you, so you'd better not fight back."

After I finished speaking, I said sorry again.

"We'll talk about it another day." Wei Linze thoughtfully reassured him.

Hearing what he said, Qin Ruxu chuckled, "We'll talk another day, and we'll meet again."

Wei Linze originally thought that "we will meet again" was just a polite phrase, but unexpectedly, it was a real goodbye.

Speaking of this, I have to mention the research topic of the Linguistics Laboratory.

When Professor Jiang sorted out the phonetics of the ancient characters, he had to slow down on the part of the ancient characters of the Six Kingdoms.There are not many documents left in the ancient texts of the Six Kingdoms, and the languages ​​and characters of each country during the Warring States Period are different. It is really complicated to organize them systematically.Wei Linze originally specialized in ancient literature, and he didn't study philology too deeply. He can sort out the ancient and middle ancient characters in a decent way, but the ancient prose of the Six Kingdoms is really more than enough.

Coincidentally, the university that provided technical support abroad specially sent a postdoctorate to come to China for exchange and study. The postdoctorate was studying ancient Chinese in the six countries abroad, so the leaders of the institute decided to let him participate in this project.

This postdoctoral fellow who studies ancient prose is Qin Ruxu.

Professor Jiang was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, because he didn't need help from others, and he thought the school leaders were meddling, and the young people were inexperienced. In the end, he justly accused him: learning ancient Chinese culture and going abroad, hypocrisy, foreign devils What ancient characters can be learned there!

Wei Linze smiled and said nothing. Later, after seeing Qin Ruxu's research on the ancient prose of the Six Kingdoms, Professor Jiang completely forgot what he said before, and called "Xiao Qin" very satisfied, and praised everyone "" Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth."

Because of the young and promising Qin Ruxu, Wei Linze has completely "fallen out of favor" with Professor Jiang. The recent focus there has been on the ancient texts of the Six Kingdoms, and the part that Wei Linze is in charge of has been left free and can be sorted out slowly.

He finished sorting out the official script in the teaching and research section, and said goodbye to the teachers with dark circles in the entire teaching and research section. Over there, Professor Jiang was dragging Qin Ruxu to discuss which area's dialect is closest to the Middle Ages, and which area's dialect is the closest In the ancient voice, Wei Linze quietly made a gesture, and Qin Ruxu silently gave him a helpless smile.

But Professor Jiang let him off, and Professor Li on the ancient literature side couldn't let him go, and called before leaving the teaching building.

"Xiao Wei, our ancient literature teaching and research section is going to hold an ancient poetry competition this weekend. The old ancient poems are all ready-made, but I have to trouble you to come up with the questions. The more difficult the questions, the better. This is a top-notch competition, isn't it? For the grade test, think about which aspect the students are least proficient in, and try to write questions on that aspect. By the way, I remember that many students are weak in this aspect, so try your best." Professor Li spoke slowly, but So much rambling.

"I know that you are famous for your good temper, you can't always be like this, you have to be cruel, you have to be cruel, try hard to embarrass the students in our courtyard who don't show their true skills, they really treat you I am the next Mr. Ji Xianlin."

Wei Linze said: "You know I'm not good at embarrassing others, but you still make me embarrassing."

Professor Li laughed twice on the other end of the phone, with a look of insight, "I think, the more you have a good temper, the harder it is for others, the more cruel than anyone else."

Wei Linze smiled in the tune of "214", "You always have a unique vision."

It's not class time now, when Wei Linze passed by the desks and chairs dedicated to postgraduate entrance examinations, he rarely saw those students reciting "abandon" here, but Qiao Wang and Jiang Wenwen occupied a seat far away.

"The sentence 'Hovenia japonica shines on the post wall' is plain and flat. This is called Gu Ping, and it is an obscure sentence, so we generally think that the correct sentence should be 'Hovenia japonica illuminates the post wall'." Qiao Wang took With a brush on the paper, the lines are drawn neatly, and a verse without much effort is neatly drawn into a pair of small vertical bars and small horizontal bars.

Jiang Wenwen was still scratching her fingers, trying to figure out whether the words "Zhao" and "Ming" should be in a flat or low voice, so she asked him to speak slowly.

"zhao, 51, flat tone, ming, 35, flat tone..." She muttered a few words, "You continue."

"As for the sentence 'Hovenium Flower Mingyi Wall', it is flat and flat, and the third word is changed from 'Zhe' to 'Ping', which is called rescue. This is the rescue of Guping." Qiao Wang tapped with the tip of his pen. Holding a thin piece of paper, "I can add one more thing, but this exam should not be tested, and there is an obscene sentence that does not need to be saved. The format is..."

Jiang Wenwen quickly stopped him, "Great Sage Qiao, quickly put away your supernatural powers, the little girl just figured it out, let me go first slowly."

Zhou Budu happened to come across from Wei Linze, and turned his head to see Jiang Wenwen, who was flaring her teeth and claws, and Qiao Wang, who was holding a stack of books. He raised his hand to Wei Linze to say hello, but he seemed to see something, and put his hand down again.

At the same time, Wei Linze was patted on the shoulder.

Josh stood behind Wei Linze, his hair had grown a lot, his mouth was pursed as if he was smiling, and his tone changed unexpectedly, his originally relaxed tone turned hoarse, "I'm back."

Wei Linze showed a weird expression, before Josh could figure it out, he took a step back, with a deliberate alienation on his face, "Sorry, did you recognize the wrong person?"

"You..." Josh looked at him from head to toe like a monster, "Stop messing around, I'm Josh."

"Sorry, I don't know you."

Wei Linze maintained a tepid attitude, he was not impatient when he was wronged by a stranger, and explained politely.

Zhou Budu watched from afar that the teacher who was going to pass by was stopped, and turned directly towards Qiao Wang and Jiang Wenwen.

When Jiang Wenwen saw Zhou Budu coming, she jumped up and ran away as if hiding from the plague.

Zhou Budu looked at her with a half-smile and asked, "Why are you running?"

Qiao Wang sat on the seat and turned around with the pen a few times. After Jiang Wenwen stood up, she saw Wei Linze standing at the corner, and ran over there as if she had seen a savior, calling "Teacher", "God Qiao , You talk about you, I will ask the teacher those questions, and it is the same hahaha."

Qiao Wang didn't even have time to remind Jiang Wenwen that the issue they were discussing just now was ancient Chinese, not ancient literature.

Seeing Jiang Wenwen running over, Wei Linze nodded at Josh, "I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

After speaking, he greeted Jiang Wenwen.

Josh froze in place for a long time, two words kept lingering in his mind - amnesia.

Impossible, not making a movie, impossible.

In fact, there are other possibilities, and many more rational possibilities are waiting in line for him to think about, but Josh's brain is already dull, and he can't get rid of the word amnesia no matter what.

He called Zhang Zhihe, Zhang Zhihe vaguely explained that from a psychological point of view, it is not impossible, and Wei Linze did call him frequently at the beginning to ask for news, and he did not return in the past few months. hit.

Just after Zhang Zhihe finished talking about the basic situation, he wanted to help analyze other possibilities. For example, Wei Linze was faking it, or he had been intermittently blind from working overtime lately. This opportunity, directly hung up the phone.

Zheng Fei wasn't very interested in discussing Wei Linze's matter with him. As soon as he received a call from Josh, he quickly took him home, pressed him on the sofa and forced him to ask three words - Cheng Jiezhi.

Josh frowned at him for a while, and said, "Didn't you already guess it?"

"Fuck..." Zheng Fei whispered, "Fuck, I rescued Cheng Jiezhi from Wen Yu? And helped him return to China? And helped him cover?"

Josh pushed him away, went to the refrigerator to find milk in a familiar way, and said as he walked, "It's me."

The refrigerator in Zheng Fei’s house was empty, and there was nothing else. Half of the country was reserved for beer, and half of the country was for milk. He picked out a box of pure milk and held a bottle of beer in his other hand. The task, let me take advantage of the loopholes inadvertently—"

He prolonged his tone, and then pressed Zheng Fei's shoulder hard, "Do you remember? It has nothing to do with you. Remember."

Josh emphasized this "remember" again, Zheng Fei snorted coldly, took the beer, noncommittal, "Your 'labour head' has finally grown back? Open the wine for me."

Josh ignored him, and inserted a straw to drink milk by himself. "The rest of the matter has nothing to do with us. The surname Lu found him. He is really powerful, so he can find everything."

Although they really didn't care too much about hiding, he added in his heart.

"I can guess that you are in Haicheng, so it's hard to guarantee that Lu Chen will get some clues from that kid from the Zheng family. The friendship between that kid from the Zheng family and brother Cheng may not be as good as that between him and Lu Chen." Fa Xiao's relationship. But I revealed this to Wei Linze, he and these people should have no intersection..." Zheng Ying took a sip of beer from the bottle, "Well... Speaking of Wei Linze, you really love me Stay here?"

Josh sucked in air hard through the straw, making a noise in the milk carton.

Zheng Fei quietly glanced at his face, and continued tentatively: "If you want me to say, at the beginning, he was really worried about you and called me every day, but after you left for so many months, even You didn’t leave a single word. Count it yourself. The few months you’ve disappeared haven’t been as long as you’ve known each other. You're a guy, and you haven't known each other for a few months."

"But when I think about it this way, it's true that he hasn't called me for a long time to ask you. At best, it's amnesia. At worst, he really forgot about you--ruthless." Zheng Fei exerted himself recklessly. Going on, pinch the sore spot and stab it firmly with a salt knife.

Holding the deflated milk box, Josh listened quietly with his legs propped up, and it took him a long time before he said, "Then... find a way to make him remember."
