Strangers

money. "

"Fifteen." Ding Li said, "Repay me three times in the future."

"it is good."

"I'm leaving." Ding Li stood in the door frame, "You... don't think about it, just practice calligraphy if you are bored, and take your medicine on time."

"I know...why don't you leave yet?"

Ding Li hesitated to speak, his eyes shifted from his left foot to his right foot.

"Don't worry." Chen Jing smiled, "When you come back next time, I will definitely be a living person, not a corpse."

Ding Li pretended to be relieved and nodded. He couldn't tell him that the "neighbor" who came to complain because he thought it was noisy when cleaning the room didn't actually exist.

At noon three days later, Ding Li stepped into that room again.

"I told my family that I will study at school in the future, and I won't go back for lunch. This is not a white invitation. As a reward, you have to teach me my homework." Ding Li put two lunch boxes on the table, opened them, and the steam steaming.

It smoked Chen Jing's eyes.

He didn't move his chopsticks, just sat there.

Ding Li felt that something wrong that he had noticed since he entered the door was about to come true.

Sure enough, Chen Jing said five words in a very light tone: "Leave me alone."

Ding Li pretended not to hear, and continued to eat.

"I'm serious."

"The college entrance examination is three months away. You can't waste time with me all the time."

"If I have to drag you down like this in the future, I might as well die."

Ding Li put down the lunch box, took out a tissue and wiped his mouth: "Have you taken today's medicine?"

Chen Jing was slightly shocked.

"Take your medicine, now." Ding Li's tone was soft, but his attitude was firm.

He still doesn't move.

Ding Li got up and went to the bedside table to get the medicine box, broke out a pill, and went to pour water.

"I won't eat." Chen Jing said.

"Don't think I can't be rough." Ding Li's expression seemed to be joking, but the finger bones holding the glass turned white.

"Ding Li." Chen Jing raised his head and looked at each other, "Do you think the person you've been seeing before is me?"

He frowned.

"Since I was hospitalized, every time I see you is after taking medicine." Chen Jing looked down at the wall, "But that person, is it me?"

Ding Li took a deep breath: "What do you want to say."

Chen Jing spoke very slowly: "At first I thought, life is suffering, and I have to end all of this quickly, but every time I take the medicine, my mood suddenly improves, as if there is nothing in the world that cannot be solved. That's overly arrogant, optimistic to the point of foolishness, telling myself, I have to die, die immediately, I can't let that guy come back, and forget about this thought completely, the ridiculous thing is that after taking the medicine again, I will die again I felt that the previous depression and gaffe didn't matter. When I took the medicine or stopped the medicine, I was basically two people, one for life and the other for death. I didn't know which was the real me, and which voice I should listen to to act."

Ding Li sighed: "I said, don't think about it, just live well."

"If I can't even think about it, am I still alive?" Chen Jing said, "Sometimes I feel that I want to die because I am sick, and sometimes I feel that I want to live because I take medicine. One is the disease, the other is the medicine. , which one is creating false appearances, why do people think the former is because it conforms to the worldly life, happiness and death, but living in the worldly way without any idea, isn't it just like insects, such a fate It's worth nothing."

Ding Li was speechless for a long time, and put down the water glass and pills.

If he judges without any emotion, he can say that those two are you, and you can listen to either one.It is indeed secular to enjoy life and hate death. If anyone tried to impose it as the truth in the past, he would definitely contradict it in his heart.

But now he can't.

Chen Jing's perfect and desperate internal logic can, and can only be understood by him from the outside.

"Okay." Ding Li said, "Chen Jing, think carefully. If you decide to die, I respect you, but relatively, you have no right to interfere with me."

Chen Jing paused: "What do you mean?"

"If you die, I won't live either."

Ding Li knew it was a lie.

What is Chen Jing to him? He is nothing more than a playmate from childhood to adulthood, not even a close friend.On the scene, he is modest and aloof in private, he is unreasonable and unforgiving. He takes ancient Chinese and puts away his book bag when he has nothing to do. I just wish that this person never existed, and he was even very happy when the accident happened last year, although he wanted to pretend to be concerned and sad.

"You tell me, I believe you."

During the first visit, Chen Jing said.

Why do you believe me?Ding Limo asked, where do you have the confidence to be sure that I am a good person?

That night Ding Li had a dream. In the dream, Chen Jing was surrounded by a cloud of gray fog and walked towards the edge of the cliff. He wanted to pull him back and run up, but he broke into the fog first.He couldn't see anything clearly, he could only grope, and by chance the haze cleared up, and he saw Ah Jing standing on the edge of the cliff in the distance, covered in a breeze, and it turned out that he was wrapped up in himself.The fog became thicker and thicker, and suddenly disappeared, and a house appeared, with a sickly woman standing by the door. The woman let go of her hand, and a handkerchief flew over, turning into a huge red cloth that was thick and full of oil stains. He was completely wrapped up in it, and he wanted to break free, but he watched the cloth stick to his skin, clinging to it like it was alive, split its sharp claws, penetrated into the flesh, and grabbed along the blood vessel. Heart, grow with it.

"What did you say?" Chen Jing stared at him in disbelief.

"You heard me, don't play dumb." Ding Li said.

If I don't tear the cloth off, I can see neither you nor myself.

Ding Li looked directly at him.

He knew how good Chen Jing was at perceiving, as long as he found a flaw in his own eyes, that lie would be completely ineffective.

Therefore, he must come up with the best acting skills.

Acting until he believed it was true.

"You—" Chen Jing just stared blankly.

Ding Li smiled triumphantly.

Then he saw a line of clear tears running down his face.

Chen Jing turned his face away, turned around again, and leaned on the table.

Her shoulders trembled slightly, she sobbed, and finally burst into sobs.

"That's all right." Ding Li stroked his back, "It feels better to cry, Ah Jing."

☆、Book Fairy

Chen Jing was completely off the medicine, and the situation went from good to bad, but the word death was never mentioned again.

Every Monday to Friday, Ding Li would come over at noon, the two of them had dinner together, and after cleaning up, one read the newspaper and practiced calligraphy while the other did homework.Occasionally, Ding Li didn't know it, and asked him about it. Without the influence of the medicine, Chen Jing found that the formula in the text hadn't been forgotten, so he helped him with his homework.

"The photoelectric effect shows that light has, A, a wave property, and B, a particle property. Which one?" Chen Jing held the exercise set with his legs crossed.

"I'll think about it." Ding Li pinched his chin, "A."

"What is the photoelectric effect."

"Under the irradiation of light, the electrons of some substances are excited by photons to form an electric current." Ding Li memorized it by rote.

"Since it is a photon, why choose volatility."

"Oh."

Chen Jing closed the book with a snap: "Can't you put your biochemical IQ in physics?"

"I hate physics. There are waves and particles for a while. How can a thing be a wave and a particle at the same time? I'm schizophrenic."

As soon as Ding Li spoke, he immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"Ah Jing, I... I didn't understand what I was talking about in a moment of anxiety, you..."

"Because it's not a thing." Chen Jing interrupted him calmly, "Because it's not reality, it's just a concept. If you treat it as a wave, you can observe its wave nature, and if you treat it as a particle, it will show its particle nature. Understand? "

"Oh."

"Oh what, I don't understand at first glance." Chen Jing leaned back in the chair, "Let's put it this way, there is no reality in this world, everything is empty, until a person appeared at a certain time, he opened his eyes, observed All spirits, give what he sees a name, and then find out the rules they follow. Only then will there be things and principles. However, these things and principles are not the truth of the universe. They are only his own experience. Maybe there are similarities. However, it is absolutely impossible to fully feel the same feeling, so it is not surprising that the single light is sometimes a wave and sometimes a particle."

Ding Li blinked in surprise: "I used to think that you should teach Chinese, but now it seems that you should teach physics."

Chen Jing smiled.

The notice arrived in midsummer, and Ding Li was successfully admitted to Shanghai Jiaotong University, School of Medicine.

"Congratulations." Chen Jing handed over a glass of cold water.

"Ah Jing, you should go and retake the exam." Ding Li said, "Your grades are so good, if you retake the exam, you will definitely pass the key points."

"I don't want to go back." Chen Jing said, "I can't stay in that kind of place. I always feel that my every move is being watched. Even if someone coughs next to me, I think he is looking at me."

"Then what are your plans for the future?"

"Planning..." Chen Jing said calmly, "Are you driving me out?"

"of course not!"

"You should have kicked me out long ago." Chen Jing looked at the wall.

"That's not what I meant. If you don't want to go out, you can live here for the rest of your life."

Chen Jing shook his head: "I didn't mean that either."

"Ok?"

"I mean, you follow me too much."

"Well."

"I went looking for a job a while ago." Chen Jing said, "They either said they were not recruiting, or told me to wait for the news and then there was no news."

"It's okay, just take your time, there is always something suitable."

Chen Jing looked at him and asked, "Am I weird? It looks like a mental illness, so they don't accept me."

"You're thinking wildly again."

"Oh."

"I have something for you." Ding Li opened his backpack and took out two mobile phones, one black and one white. "This is a gift from my grandma who was admitted to university. This is a refurbished phone I bought. Which one do you want?"

"You seem to have skipped the question of whether you want it or not." Chen Jing said.

"Who said I'll give it away? It's sold to you. You owe the money first, and then pay me back three times." Ding Li looked serious.

Chen Jing reached out and brought the old machine.

"I have stored the number in it, do I want to teach you how to use it?" Ding Li smiled.

"I'm crazy, not a fool." Chen Jing leaned towards him.

In September, the train goes east.

Chen Jing found a job as a shopkeeper in a small supermarket, with a monthly salary of several hundred, so he could be self-sufficient with a little savings.I get up early every day to go to work and tidy up the shelves. In my free time, I just sit behind the counter and read in a daze. If there are customers, I will collect money and give change.Although the boss occasionally saw him talking to himself, or moving a cloud of air up and down, he just let him go as he was clear about his work.

Chen Jing started to do one thing.

He began to distinguish which things are visible to everyone and which only he can perceive; which experiences will be gradually forgotten by people, and which memories will last forever for him.He wrote down the latter one by one, and the diary was generally organized into a booklet.

It's day, rest.

As soon as he got up, he heard a knock on the door, and a chubby aunt stood at the door.

"Young man." The aunt spoke in dialect, "When will you pay the rent for this quarter?"

Chen Jing's first reaction was, well, this is an illusion.

"Young man, young man!" The aunt waved her palm in front of his eyes.

"Huh?" So it wasn't a hallucination, "Rent?"

"You live in my house, and I ask you for rent, what's wrong?"

"This is your house? Isn't this Ding's house?"

"It used to be Ding, and it was sold to me four or five years ago. Now he is renting it. Yes, the tall one who comes here often. Coincidentally, he is also surnamed Ding."

Chen Jing fully understood.

After paying the rent, he called Ding Li in Shanghai.

"Ah Jing?" Ding Li in the bed was very surprised.

"What?" Chen Jing said through the receiver.

"It's amazing, you called me on your own initiative." Ding Li turned over.

"Can't you?"

"Okay."

"still sleeping."

"Ah."

"Then go to sleep, I'll call later."

"No, what's the matter?"

"This house is not yours."

Drowsing all sleepless for a moment, Ding Li thought it was terrible, he had too many exams and forgot to pay the rent.

"Where have you been getting the money from?" the receiver asked.

"Don't worry." Ding Li smiled, "Grandma loves me so much, it's indispensable every year and festival, and the family also sends money every month. I also work as a part-time tutor here. The salary in Shanghai is very high, and it can make a lot of money. Yes, after paying the rent, there is still a lot left.”

"..."

"Ah Jing?"

After a long time, there was a deep voice from the opposite side: "I will pay you back... three times..."

Three years later, the small supermarket where I worked was relocated, and the new location was chosen near Beiling Road.

After finishing the accounts ahead of time, the boss let him leave early. Chen Jing walked back with nothing to do, and wandered into various stalls and shops without knowing it.

Interpretation of dreams by looking at phases, naming and testing characters, calligraphy and painting of flowers and birds, and antiques.He walked casually, and occasionally caught a glimpse of a very narrow staircase between the two facades, and he couldn't help but climb up it.

knock knock.

"Come in!" A loud voice came from inside.

Chen Jing pushed open the door.

Clap la la la.

The messy scrolls fell to the ground in front of him.

An old man was sitting on a table in the middle of the hall, with a bald head and a full beard.

"Want to read? Take whatever you want!" The old man didn't turn his head, squinting at the ancient book in his hand.

Chen Jing bent down and picked up a book.

""Story of Qi Harmony"?" he said to himself, "Hasn't the book of ghosts in Liu Song Dynasty been lost long ago?"

"Bullshit! If it is lost, what is the book in your hand?" said the old man.

Chen Jing smiled: "Your bookstore is really weird."

"Hey, that's right!" The old man shook his head, "My place is called 'Guai Zhai'."

Chen Jing flipped through "Qi Harmony", smelled the fragrance of books, and suddenly thought that he was still a sixteen-year-old boy, sitting in a corner of the library, holding "Qin Meng Ji" in his hand, anxiously waiting for her arrival with the greatest patience .

Footsteps sounded.

Do you believe that there are ghosts, gods and monsters in this world?She bends over.

I know, in fact, you are a monster, a monster turned from an ancient book.She smiled.

Chen Jing, 21, also laughed.

"Boy, bring that object for me." The old man pointed bonyly.

"Which."

"that!"

Chen Jingzuo looked puzzled.

"Hmph! Children are not to be taught!" The old man waved his hand, "Get out! You won't be left here!"

Chen Jing didn't go out, he thought for a while, and finally went to the corner to catch a millipede that was emitting strange smoke.

"Can't you see, kid? Why did you pretend to be blind just now!" The old man blew his beard.

The bug was placed on the table by Chen Jing, turned around a few times and slid in, turning into wood grains.

The old man sat cross-legged and pointed around the room: "In the cupboard are Shang oracle bones, this box is for Qin bamboo slips, and that pile is from the Tang and Song Dynasties, and all things from the Republic of China are placed on top of the cupboard."

After his pointing, Chen Jing noticed Lin Lang in this room, and couldn't help being surprised.

"What do you think of my things?" The old man stroked his beard.

"Okay." Chen Jing said.

"It's all for you."

"what?"

"Old man, I have wanted to travel around the world for a long time, but I was tripped by these torn pieces of paper. I couldn't throw them away, and I couldn't take them with me. I was very upset. This time, I will give you all!"

"That's not good, old man." Chen Jing smiled, "Today is the first meeting, how can this junior accept such a big gift."

"The face is full of joy, and the mouth is so hypocritical! One more nonsense, I will regret it!"

"That's disrespectful." Chen Jing cupped his hands.

The old man turned the table around, pushed open the door of the fasting house, looked up to the sky and smiled and said, "Nothing is so light!"

Another year.

Chen Jing took a picture and found a plaque workshop.

"Zhi, Guai, Zhai." The craftsman read, "Little brother, your handwriting is very good."

Ding Li, who had returned home from the winter vacation, stood on the half-floor steps: "Congratulations on opening, Boss Chen."

"My surname should not have been Chen." Chen Jing greeted him, "Qi Xie is also a ghost."

"Then if I call you Ah Jing again, will it be misleading?"

Chen Jing smiled: "Go into the room and chat."

Ding Li took off his scarf and handed over two small wine jars: "Congratulations."

"What wine?" Chen Jing took it.

"Shaoxing Huadiao, I remember you used to like to drink it, but you can't drink it when you're sick."

Chen Jing didn't thank him either, he went into the kitchen and found a small stove, unpacked a jar, and took two wine cups.

"Green Ant's new fermented wine, a small red clay stove. It will snow in the evening, can you have a glass?" Chen Jing pulled the charcoal.

"I know this song, "Ask Liu Nineteen"." Ding Li stretched out his hand to warm himself.

"Rare." He smiled.

"I'm going to take the postgraduate entrance examination, the heart surgery department of Union Medical College."

"Are you going to Beijing?"

"Ah."

He got up and went outside to answer the phone, Ding Li rubbed his hands and came back.

"Girlfriend?" Chen Jing filled up two cups.

"It was discovered." Ding Li smiled.

"Treat people well, don't be like me and Qin Meng."

"Qin Meng? Who is it?" Ding Li looked at him.

"No, you heard it wrong." Chen Jing raised his glass, "I wish you success in the postgraduate entrance examination."

Ding Li raised his glass: "I wish you a prosperous business."

"You will be a good doctor in the future."

"You too, must be a profiteer."

"Haha."

Ding.

"Tell me about the strange stories you've heard," Ding Li said.

"Okay, then I will tell a story about Huadiao, which is about Jianping in the Western Han Dynasty..."

The fine snow fell silently, drunk for three to five years.

After graduating with a master's degree, Ding Li did not stay in Beijing, nor did he go to Shanghai. Instead, he entered the Affiliated Hospital of the Medical University a few blocks away from Beiling Road.

Since then, the stories in Chen Jing's diary have become richer.

until sometime.

He tore off all the diaries and lit a cluster of fire to burn them to ashes.

Guarding one side of the Zhaizi, the sun rises and the moon sinks, welcoming and seeing off, just when he thought that another altar of flower carvings would be sealed forever.

The door rang unexpectedly.

Chen Jing who got up to greet him was stunned.

There was also a trace of astonishment in the other party's eyes.

Then suddenly remembered: "It's you, long time no see."

Chen Jing was speechless for a moment.

"Let's think about it, yes, I haven't seen you since your family moved to Jiangsu. It's been nine years." Ding Li laughed.

"Yes." He had mixed feelings.

Ding Li looked through the door: "Are you looking after the shop for someone here, Ah Jing?"

"No. My Veteran's surname is Qi, and the single name is a homonym." He smiled lightly.

"Qi Xie?" Ding Li laughed, "You've been like this since you were a child, playing tricks, you really haven't changed at all."

Qi Harmony nodded slightly.

Bow down and lead with your hand.

"Come and sit, there is tea."

☆, Gewu

What a long dream...

In Lan Jingxuan's bedroom, Qi Xie sat up from the bed and glanced at the wall clock. It was almost eight o'clock.It's rare to sleep so late, it must be because I haven't woken up from the wine the night before.

As he thought about it, he heard two thuds, and after reacting for a while, he realized that it was someone knocking on the door.Qi Xie pushed away the quilt, straightened his sleeping clothes, and opened the door, a girl stood outside.

"Mr. Qi, breakfast is ready. The driver will be downstairs in 10 minutes. Sister Qian said that today is your first day at work, so please don't be late."

"Yes." Qi Xie responded with a good temper, "What's your name?"

"Just call me Xiaotao." The girl smiled sweetly, her short cheek-length hair set off a pair of dimples, "Yesterday you said that you don't need so many people at home, and Sister Qian will only leave me to deliver meals according to your wishes."

Qi Xie nodded: "Go back first, I'll go down later."

"Hey." Xiaotao agreed crisply.

The black Mercedes drove into the underground garage of Tianhui Building, and Qi Xie was led by a bodyguard to the 28th floor.

In the front hall of Guixin Jingfang, Assistant Qian came up to him with a smile like a flower: "Mr. Qi, how is the house? Is there anything inconsiderate?"

Compared to her enthusiasm, Qi Xie's reaction was very cold: "No, please worry about it."

"This remark really hurts me. If you live in a safe place, I will have an explanation to Master Xun." Assistant Qian raised his hand, "Your office has been arranged, please come here."

The corridor is long and long, with incense wafting, wooden ceiling, bamboo floor, and paintings and calligraphy hanging on the two walls between the corridors.

"Is the Master Xun you mentioned just now the boss of Guixintang?" Qi Xie asked casually.

"Yes." Assistant Qian replied.

"How could he know me."

"Who doesn't know Mr. Qi's name?"

"No need to flatter, I have always lived in the name of where Jane came from."

"True gold is not afraid of a red furnace, and the fragrance of wine is not afraid of a deep alley."

"So you took those three people as threats to get my jar of wine out of the alley?"

"Look at what you said, Lord Xun's love for talent is as much as that of Duke Zhou, and he just wanted to show our sincerity." Assistant Qian turned a corner, "I know Mr. Qi is a casual person, if you directly To hire you, I'm afraid you won't agree no matter how much money you offer, I've thought about it, and I can only make a bad plan. But don't worry, as long as everyone cooperates happily, I will naturally not touch the three of them."

Qi Xie stood still: "The Butterfly Village in Bashu was arranged by you."

"Sir, you have good eyesight." Assistant Qian smiled back, "I was the one who gave the news to Hu Yonglan, saying that there was a character who could break the curse of her village, and what happened later has nothing to do with me."

"Use the game of the seventh person to attract Xie Yu, then arrange Wei Yuanyang to get involved in this case, and even instigate a doctor-patient dispute to injure Ding Li." Qi Xie finally put the whole thing together, "There are so many variables, how did you do that."

"Yes, there are indeed many variables." Assistant Qian said obediently, "For example, in that game, first Qingye Tasha's cousin was in distress, and then she asked the West for help. The landlord Mr. E launched an event. Xie Yu decided to participate after seeing it. It doesn’t matter if there is a problem with any link in the middle.”

"So that's it." Qi Xie snorted coldly, "This is showing off your control ability to me."

"It's a small trick, it's nothing to worry about." Assistant Qian pretended to be self-effacing.

"How powerful is Guixintang?" Qi Xie asked.

"You will naturally understand this in the future." Assistant Qian pushed open a door.

The room is large with bright and clean windows. There is a mahogany desk in the middle. The cabinet on the east is filled with books, the shelf on the west is filled with various playthings, the desk table on the south is resting on a piece of Taihu stone, and on the north wall is a scroll with four large characters written on it. Investigate knowledge.

"This is the exam question given to you by Lord Xun." Assistant Qian put on the Bluetooth headset, turned to face him, "Please explain the meaning of these four words."

"Are you embarrassing me just after joining the job?" Qi Xie laughed, "What if I can't answer."

"Then you are of no value to Jingfang, and the lives of your disciples will be in danger." Assistant Qian opened his red lips lightly and uttered a threat.

"I have no disciples." Qi Xie put his hands behind his back, and paced to the front of the scroll, "Investigate things, extend knowledge, be sincere, straighten one's heart, cultivate one's morality, regulate one's family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world, you Master Xun are truly ambitious. "

"How to explain the first two?"

"Extending knowledge means obtaining knowledge. The problem lies in the word Gewu, especially the word Gewu, which has been unsolved for thousands of years. Some people say it is deduction, some say it is practice, some say it is perception, and some say it is goodness and righteousness."

"What do you think, Mr. Qi?"

"Intention."

"What is the original intention?"

He pointed at the Bogu shelf on the left with the tip of his fan: "Grid."

Assistant Qian clicked on the earphones: "Sir, don't talk nonsense, Mr. Xun is listening."

"The human heart is like this room. In the beginning, there were only four white walls and no restrictions. Nothing can be kept for a long time. It seems that a child can't remember things because his heart is alive and can perceive all kinds of things. When he grows up gradually , the heart is finalized, just like a room is placed on a bogus rack, and things are put into grids according to his understanding. ——The long grid is a vase, the square grid is a plate, and the flat grid is a pot. When encountering incompatibility The ones can only be smashed and then stuffed in, if they can’t fit, they will be discarded, and when everything is in order, then he will see the messy world in his eyes.”

After Qi Xie finished speaking, he turned to look at her.

"Congratulations." Assistant Qian Yanran said, "Master Xun said you passed."

"Thank you for your high hand." Qi Xie cupped his hands.

She brushed her hair to remove the earphones.

"Assistant Qian, wait a minute." Qi Xie stepped forward.

Snapped!

The earphones flew out.

Withdrawing his hand, he saw five fingerprints floating on the fair left face.

"I haven't hit anyone much in my life, let alone a woman." Qi Xie said lightly, "But unfortunately, you shouldn't have hurt Ding Li."

Assistant Qian's eyes widened and he forgot to cover his cheeks. Seeing him walk to the window, he picked up the earphones that flew out.

"Boss Xun, please listen." Qi Xie brought the microphone close to his lips, "I, Qi, am also a businessman and understand the principle of win-win, so I naturally hope that everyone can cooperate happily, but if you touch the three of them again , I risked my life to tear down Guixin Hall."

After Qi Xie finished speaking with a blank face, without showing any anger in his words, Assistant Qian clearly felt a chill from his back, from the top of his head to his toes.

"Okay." He threw his hand away from the window.

The earphones slowly turned around along the backlit back, and touched the ground, bang!broke in two at her feet.

"Go out and close the door by the way."

Fang Xun yawned and walked past the front desk with his sneakers on.

"It's already 10:30, Young Master Fang is so early." Assistant Qian patted the punch card machine.

"What's wrong with your face?" Fang Xun saw the five red marks at a glance.

"It's nothing." Assistant Qian didn't care.

Fang Xun groaned and wanted to go inside.

"What do you want?" Assistant Qian pulled him back.

"Get it back for you."

"With your body, be careful to get another slap."

"Sister Qian, you look down on me again!" Fang Xun reached out and gestured above his head, "I have grown taller recently! I just measured it when I woke up, 1.7 meters!"

"Forget it, he's someone Xun Ye likes, so don't provoke him." Assistant Qian pressed his arm and took out a bag of potato chips from the cabinet at the front desk. Fang Xun immediately jumped up and followed behind. into the assistant's office.

"Yesterday, I went with him to the West [-]st Ring Road. How are things going?" She handed over the potato chips.

Fang Xun tore it open, pinched two pieces and put them into his mouth: "What else can I do, that guy doesn't understand anything, he just talks nonsense with others, and he doesn't know what old man Xun likes about him."

"Nonsense? Hehe, what did he talk about?"

"What Haizi seal?" Fang Xun repeated.

After listening to the whole story, Assistant Qian folded his arms and leaned against the edge of the table: "It seems that he is indeed the old man's student..."

"What old man are you talking about all the time, who is he?" Fang Xun hugged the swivel chair and circled around.

"In the circle related to strange things, he can be regarded as a god-like figure. It is said that his whereabouts are erratic, his temperament is unpredictable, and he is addicted to books. He will buy any book he likes at any price. If he can't buy it, he will cheat. He once dug Lishan Mountain for a few bamboo slips, and once stole tortoise shell bones from a museum. In his books, there is everything in the sky and on the earth. He also knows everything from ancient times to modern times. Gradually, even demons and monsters obey For him, people in the circle even regard him as a god."

"Wow! So powerful!"

"Well, but no one has seen him since ten years ago. There are rumors that he has retired to the mountains and forests, or that he has gone to the west when he is old. After Professor Nang, he became immortal."

"Could it be that the student's surname is Qi?"

"The means are indeed similar."

"No." Fang Xun tilted his head, "He looks like a weak bookworm, how can he be so powerful!"

"Do you think he is weak?" Assistant Qian asked.

"Um...I don't know."

"That's right, I shouldn't have asked you."

"Sister Qian thinks I'm stupid again! Not happy!"

"Even I can't see through that person." She swept her red and swollen cheeks, "I have come into contact with many people in Guixintang, and I have never seen anyone as elusive as him. I have seen The cold-faced Buddha can always see the clues from the corners of his mouth and brows, and he also has that kind of smiling tiger, who can't hide the emotion in his eyes with a smile on his face, but just now..."

"What happened just now?"

"Not at all angry." She shook her head, "But if you really say that he is heartless and desireless, and he cares so much about those three people..."

"Otherwise, kill them all and see how the surname Qi reacts." Fang Xun stabbed his neck, full of interest.

Assistant Qian rubbed his head: "Don't you think there are not enough things?"

Fang Xun raised his head: "I hate Sister Qian! She will get shorter and shorter!"

She withdrew her hand with a smile: "It's okay, it's still a long time, let's wait and see."

Fang Xun raised his head: "Are you referring to the surname Qi or my height?"

She winked lightly: "There are all of them."

It's night time.

Qi Xie closed the study door, lit the floor lamp, and took out a book from the bookshelf covering the entire wall.

"It's from the Tang and Song Dynasties." After he finished speaking, he turned his hand to look at the cover, "Ah, I guessed wrong, Liao and Jin Dynasties are also good."

Turning the angle of the lamp head, he sank into the single sofa and spread out the book.

But stupefied.

That day, Wei Yuanyang and Xie Yu went to find Tan Qigong for a showdown. The phone rang just as the two of them left Zhiguai Zhai.

"If you agree, everyone will be happy. We can discard this chess piece surnamed Tan at any time." She said.

"If I don't agree." Qi Xie said.

"The criminal policeman will probably die in the line of duty in half an hour, and the novelist's serialization will not end."

"So what." Qi Xie didn't care.

"And the doctor-patient disputes are so serious recently, maybe there will be news about the death of a cardiologist by the patient's family in the newspaper tomorrow."

Qi Xie thought, at that moment, if his fingers were strong enough, he would be able to crush the microphone.

But then it was no longer possible.

He didn't know whether it was his own nature or the side effects of taking medicine for illness in the past: tidying up, saying goodbye, leaving home, being orderly and orderly, even under house arrest, he didn't feel unfree.

"Don't drink anymore." Ding Li swayed and covered the Huadiao wine jar with one hand.

"Drunk?" He was only slightly drunk.

"Keep it, and drink it next time."

"Maybe there will be no next time." He said softly.

"No matter." Ding Li snatched the cover, buckled it, and fell down on the table.

Qi Xie took the wine jar out of his hands and put it back in the circle drawn by dust in the cupboard.

Then he took Ding Li's arms, moved onto the sofa, and covered him with a blanket.

Ding Li moved his sleeping position, and a bead slipped out from the collar of his shirt along the red string.

Mahogany beads, you gave them to me when I was in the fifth grade of elementary school, what a memory.About the little vine, Ding Li pinched it and said.

"I gave it to you when you were in senior five, not junior five." Qi Xie said softly, tucking the beads back, and smoothed out his messy forehead hair.

Then he turned on the charcoal fire, took out a few diaries from the low cabinet, flipped through them, tore them off, and took a corner to light them.

A few bright red lines twisted irregularly, and after passing, the white paper turned into scorched black.

——From then on, in your world, there is no grid that can accommodate me anymore.

☆, jade girl

Put away the memories of the day before yesterday, the night is like water.

Qi Xie closed the bedroom door, took off his dark blue coat and hung it on the hanger, then took out a light blue coat from the cabinet, casually pulled it on the shoulders, buckled it and walked towards the bed.

It was June, neither warm nor cold.

The pendulum clock in the living room struck ten times across the wall.

He lay down, and when he was covering half of the quilt, the doorknob was slightly turned open.

Squeak with the breeze, smell the fragrance of women.

As Xiang Xiang approached, she was barefoot like a cat and made no sound. The moonlight and lights were blocked by the curtains, but it was hard to hide the pair of jade (anti-harmony) legs under the peach-colored nightdress.

Xiao Tao stood still five feet away from the bed.

"Did Assistant Qian tell you that you have to knock on the door before entering the room?" Qi Xie leaned against the head of the bed with his cheeks propped up.

"Sister Qian said Mr. Qi has a lot of people, so I don't care about such a small matter." After she finished speaking, the shoulder straps slipped off.

There was a gust of wind for no reason.

The falling nightdress suddenly turned into a puff of smoke, Xiaotao disappeared, and another woman appeared.

The appearance is charming, the posture is delicate, the voice is charming, and the skin is smooth.The woman is naked, except for a peach-colored headband tied loosely behind her neck. Her wet temples stick to her cheeks, and her black silk is like a waterfall.

Qi Xie swept across the mole with his fingertips, and said with a raised voice: "The girl is..."

She leaned over softly: "I don't have a surname, just a single name."

"So it's Miss Yu." Qi Xie's lips were only two inches away from the tip of her nose.

"Mr. Qi." She fingered the hem of his clothes with a green onion, "It's a hard night to sleep, don't you want to do something?"

Qi Harmony remained motionless, only
