Strange events in the imperial capital

After this unexpected episode, Chu Han stayed at home for three whole days without going out, didn't answer the phone, and didn't want to see anyone.

He started living alone at the age of 16, and it has been like this for six or seven years.Already accustomed to enjoying a lonely and free life, he has enclosed himself in a solid clamshell, so he can see the outside world, and others will never want to peep at him easily.

There is one bedroom and one study room in the house. It seems that he doesn't even need a living room and a dining table to live.Usually, I never bring outsiders into my most secret habitat, and I don't like to entertain irrelevant people on purely private land.There are six rows of large bookshelves in the study room, and many books that cannot fit are scattered in cardboard boxes.The bedroom furniture is very simple, with a bed, two cabinets, a lamp and a small table. The clothes in the wardrobe are only white, rice, gray and black.Those who don't know the inside story would never have guessed that Chu Han lived such a pale and self-confined ascetic life... a young master who looks particularly fresh in front of people, so beautiful that he feels a little luxurious.

But Chu Han knew from a very young age that he wanted to live a life like this, ever since his father hugged him and shed tears, telling him the phrase "Dad loves you".

Later, I heard the cause and effect from Chen Huan, and finally understood why his father and his father insisted on fucking him under what circumstances.He and Chu Xun are two people tied by a thread. If Chu Xun wants to be completely free for the rest of his life, he can only sacrifice his son.

There are quite a lot of friends in Chu Han's circle of life, and it is okay for men to be attracted to women, but there are no friends who can touch their hearts at all.He is gentle, polite and well-educated to everyone around him, and most of the people around him mean a series of numerical symbols composed of various features of the face, five sense organs and body, and have no meaning other than that.He sometimes suffers from headaches when he is too tired from work, and he takes medicine for headaches. He usually has no habit of smoking, alcohol and snacks. Apart from eating, he takes the most medicines, and there are various kinds of medicines.

Put a row of potted plants on the balcony, and when you have nothing to do, manually use the human flesh generator to give the plants light and heat, which is a great joy of life.

In the dead of night, he would occasionally be awakened by a soft voice at a street corner far away from the window. He must turn over and stand in front of the empty window, obsessive-compulsively discerning the subtleties of the air vibration from two miles away. Sonic, or toss and turn and sleepless nights.

Classmate Chu Han has never had a partner, no lover, not even a girlfriend with benefits, and stubbornly remains a virgin.Sometimes it seems that I don’t have that kind of desire, even though his buddies, especially the scum like Shen Chenghe, come to tease him all day long, bragging in front of him that he can stretch, bend, and be attacked, and that he will be free of charge after the contract is sold. Serve.He would also flirt with his big crane and allow the other party to flirt, but Shen Chenghe said to him, "Chu Han, you are very heartless, and your heart is empty." Chu Han didn't feel that he had no heart and lungs. .It is long-term depression and extreme insecurity, but he is willing to stick to what he seeks in his heart.

Mr. Shen called, but Chu Han didn't answer.

In the evening, the chatterer called again, leaving messages on the phone in a loop.

"Han—it's me, you know, I'm going all out for you this time, I've suffered so much, I haven't gotten up for two days with a fever!"

"Han——my dad tortured me for what I did with you. I did not betray you. My dad is going to deal with me now, baby, come and comfort me!"

"Di——Hanhan, I don't have a fever, I'm just kidding you. I'm just a little flustered by the fright, vomiting and diarrhea, good boy, go out with me for a stroll."

"Di——Han, my chrysanthemums are bursting due to diarrhea, brother, my dry soil needs to be watered..."

The message box was quickly filled with all kinds of lewd voices from that bastard.Chu Han swiftly cleared the space with one click, and answered Mr. Shen's call: "What do you think is broken?"

Hearing the movement on the other side, Mr. Shen was very excited and got up from the bed: "Hanhan, you still love me, my chrysanthemum hurts so much."

Chu Han said, "Shall I sew your ass up?"

Mr. Shen laughed aloud: "Don't, don't, how can you be happy and have fun after you are all sewn on by me... What are you doing, Hanhan, you are usually a gentle person, are you in a bad mood today?"

Even Mr. Shen, whose brain lacked at least 2/3 of its capacity, could hear that Chu Han's painting style was wrong, and felt extremely uncomfortable.

At this moment, Chu Han was suddenly looking forward to that guy named Tantai Jingting sleeping all night until tomorrow morning and suddenly waking up, able to move, talk, walk, and jump, Shen Chenghe, a lively, unrestrained and enthusiastic zombie, was quickly caught by that Take away the big spy of the East Factory, don't come back.

There was also a call from an unknown number in the middle.When Chu Han heard it, it turned out to be the seventh member of the action team.

Comrade Lao Qi just wanted to tell him: "I remembered it later."

Chu Han: "...Oh, are you all right now?"

Lao Qi spoke in a soft and restrained tone, especially on the phone, it was quite ink-stained, and there was a long silence between each sentence.Lao Qi said: "I just want to thank you. If you hadn't scooped me up at that time, I would never have come back."

Chu Han hurriedly said don't thank me. At that time, I was also in despair. I felt that I was really useless, and I felt extremely uncomfortable. Later, I didn't know how to get all three of us out.

Lao Qi said that it was rare for Captain Liu to be generous, and he said he wanted to treat guests, and by the way, he also invited Mr. Chu to come over for dinner.

In the background voice on the other end of the phone, there came a sour sentence from Mo Ziba: "It's rare for our seventh uncle to invite someone to dinner! The young master surnamed Chu, you can condescend to give him a warm face. Are you coming or not? Hurry up, please!"

Chu Han hurriedly put on a smiling face and politely declined: "Thanks, the office is quite busy recently... Forget it this time, I'll get together with my brothers another day."

Chu Han still rejected Mr. Shen's proposal to go out to clubs or smoke cigars that night.

He didn't sleep all night, took a handful of medicine, buried himself in bed, and struggled with the same thing for several days.

The next morning, another phone call.

Unfamiliar numbers, simply do not answer, love so and so.

The number was persistently called three times, and then a text message came over aggressively, as if it was a challenge: [Mr. Chu!This is your number, Mr. Chu!Can't you give me a response?Is your zombie account down due to arrears! ! ! ! ! 】Chu Han replied with three words: 【Who are you. 】

The man scolded the street like a rough old man, and shot at him a few times: [Your brain also owes you money? !Do you know this person named Fang?If you don't come, just call me back, I'm happy to help others, who knew it would be so troublesome to make a call!Mr. Fang asks if you are coming, whether to make an appointment, whether to make an appointment, whether to fuck or not! ! !Damn, hurry up and tell me so I can get rid of this guy! ! ! 】Chu Han was sprayed with blood all over his face, and then he remembered that someone's living condition is a prehistoric animal!He flipped back quickly with his fingers, and his voice was polite: "Where do you see me?"

……

The two met on the street near Dongdan, very close to Chu Han's company. Obviously, Mr. Fang didn't know that Chu Han didn't go to work at all, and wanted him to come and go easily.

When Chu Han stopped the car, he saw Mr. Fang leisurely squatting on the top of the steps at the entrance of a commercial firm from a distance, squatting high and looking into the distance, looking quietly into the distance.Chu Han waved his hand, Fang San'er grinned at him without moving.When Xiao Chitose looked into the distance, the side curvature of the facial features was quite attractive, the eyelids were narrow, and the tails of the eyes were slender, revealing a sense of age, and the Adam's apple slipped slightly with breathing.

A bus ran past with black smoke.Mr. Fang was covered in his nose by the heavy exhaust fumes, his face wrinkled into twists, and his ability to be handsome suddenly broke.

The man lifted up the front of his clothes and wrapped his head completely to resist the smog on the Zaofeng Street.

Chu Han held back his laughter and strode forward, reaching out to attack someone's exposed abs!

Fang San'er turned his face away, suddenly showing a proud and satisfied smile, and snorted: "You owe it too."

Why is this sentence so familiar?Then Chu Han realized that he used to say that Shen Chenghe was very disgusted, you owe him a lot!

The two of them were hungry and panicked early in the morning, and the meeting time was really weird, so they went to find breakfast.Fang Sanye walked into a "Qing Yu" steamed stuffed bun buffet breakfast shop.This store was opened by the descendants of the time-honored chain "Qingfeng" steamed stuffed bun shop that was very popular in Beijing decades ago.In the past 20 years, this breakfast shop has formed a political culture similar to sacrificial offerings. Every time a new emperor takes office, a large group of people come to visit this shop and eat a meal of steamed buns respectfully, which means good weather and good harvest. The world is prosperous, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and later generations commonly call this tradition "worshiping the bun shop".

Mr. Fang served a set of [Four pieces of fried liver, steamed buns, fried dough sticks, tofu brain, and four super-luxury chairman's shop visits set meal], plus two exclusive secret tea eggs that were sold in large quantities in Taipei and Hong Kong at that time.

As soon as Chu Han smelled the fried liver, he was almost addicted to drugs, and immediately wanted to go home and take the medicine, because he really couldn't stand this mouthful.Third Master Fang brought fried liver buns and followed Chu Han to the next door.The Italian dessert house next door is called Aisi Amsis, and the clerk at the door was drunk when they smelled the fried liver, so they stopped them from taking away food.Chu Han talked to the clerk for a long time, then looked back at Fang San'er in embarrassment, so he said stubbornly: "I don't want to eat, let's go."

The corner of Fang San'er's mouth twitched: "Don't refuse to eat. What do you want to order? Order."

As a result, Chu Han brought a large tray of grilled fruit wood bacon cheese sandwiches with avocado salad, foie gras mousse ice cream, and a large cup of black coffee, and then returned to Qingyu Baozi shop...

The two sat across the table, burying their heads in their own food.

Chu Han complained that the foie gras had already assimilated into the taste of fried liver in his mouth.

Third Master Fang rolled his narrow eyelids and smiled maliciously: "It smells really bad, doesn't it?"

The third master picked up a spoon and scooped up a spoonful of miso soup mixed with minced garlic and coriander from the tofu nao bowl, and threw it into Chu Han's cup of black coffee precisely and gracefully.

Chu Han yelled "Ah" and threw herself on the table in front of her...

In Chu Han's own memory, it has been many years since he pounced on the table in public in full view, and then pointed at the person opposite and scolded his mother loudly.He spit while laughing, then pinched Third Master Fang by his collar, forcing him to drink down this cup of homemade "Garlic and Coriander Macchiato".

"I'm sorry." Chu Han learned this accent from his Erwu father. Every time his Erwu father was forced to quarrel with Chu Xun and couldn't speak, this was the only sentence left when his face turned red. Assassin's trumpet, "No matter how hypocritical you are, I'll kill you."

"Coffee is too bitter, why do you like drinking it?" Fang San'er defended innocently.

"...I've drank something a hundred times more bitter than this." Chu Han said.

Fang San'er looked at Chu Han, and the smile slowly entered the corner of his mouth, without asking him what it would be.

The stomach was almost full, Fang San'er began to ask about the follow-up of the underground palace of Prince Gong's Mansion that day.Chu Han was a little surprised that the other party took the initiative to mention these things, but he explained each one clearly.Later, Captain Liu Xuecheng asked the experts of the archaeological team to go to the scene to "collect the funeral", carefully wrapped up the man in the official uniform and the court crown, and carried it away. It must have been transported to the "501 Institute" for preservation and investigation.It is said that the experts used various instruments to try their best to maintain the life of that person, and even tried to wake him up, but so far the effect is minimal.That person has no blood flow pulse, only an extremely weak heart wave image spectrum.The costumes are official uniforms and boots of the Jinyi Guards of the Wanli Dynasty. However, it is impossible to find the name "Tantai Jingting" in official history for a mere town governor.

"They may ask for the magic knife Zhang. You may not have heard of it. A friend of my father tried to 'wake up' that person. If he couldn't wake up, he would open his head and have a look."

Fang San'er frowned slightly, and was quickly caught by Chu Han.

Chu Han tentatively asked, "...do you know that person?"

Fang San'er shook his head and denied, with a very natural tone: "I don't know."

Chu Han felt a sense of loss again, thinking that you took the initiative to ask me out, so it turned out that you were inquiring about the living dead in the underground palace, not for any living person... He also swallowed these words habitually, and if he didn't say it, his stomach acid suddenly increased , a breakfast made him very uncomfortable.

The two came out of the steamed stuffed bun shop that day to say goodbye and parted, and they were speechless when they parted.

Fang Chisui is usually alone when he comes and goes, sometimes with a bag on his back, and he walks gracefully, and his back quickly disappears into the crowd.

But Chu Han still watched from a distance for a long time, not knowing when he would meet again next time.He stared straight at the other person's back, pondering one thing over and over in his heart: Why have you been hiding the truth from me and never telling the truth?

……

Just a few days later, he, Third Master Luo, asked him to eat in a restaurant again.

Boss Luo has been generous and hospitable since he was young, making friends all over the world.In the beginning, the man in his family talked about him, but later he didn't bother to talk about it and let him make trouble.Many friends from the rivers and lakes came to Luo Zhan's restaurant to eat, and this person didn't charge money, and served him with good wine and good meat.Chu Han said, "Third Master, do you sell it upside down like this? You can't lose money if you sell it like this?"But Luo Zhan didn't lose any money, instead, he accumulated more and more property in his hands.In the words of this person, what I earn is "living money", living.A hen can lay eggs, and money can give him more money.

Even if this is the case with outsiders and friends, he loves the juniors at home even more.In Luo Zhan's place, the children of the Chu family and the Shen family are not much different from those raised by him himself.This quaint private restaurant in Houhai is the "activity base" of their family.

Let’s talk about the matter at hand. It should have been the case where Boss Luo accompanied Chu Han to visit the underground palace in Daxiangfeng Hutong.Luo Zhan said to Chu Han, nephew, it's not convenient for me to go out with you recently, and I can't leave, don't mind, let's play with your children.

Chu Han knew it as soon as he heard it, and asked with a smile, is Officer Cheng taking care of you at home?I'll explain it to him.

Luo Zhan smiled heartily, how can it be, our family doesn't care if I go out to play, Cheng Yu is not in good health recently, I will stay with him at home.

Officer Cheng was transferred from the Houhai Police Station a long time ago. He was at the Beixinqiao Police Station for a while, and now he is at the Dongdan Police Station, working near Chang'an Avenue.The Dongdan police station is very high-level, and later changed to a branch office. The treatment is higher than that of the municipal bureau in prefecture-level cities. The work unit has also changed from a small courtyard to a three-story white building with dozens of offices. A modified off-road vehicle with signs of "public security" and "patrol police".

Luo Zhan is the most down-to-earth. His family Cheng Yu was promoted and transferred to Dongdan, because in this way, Cheng Yu basically no longer has to be on duty to sweep the streets himself, answer those police calls of cats and dogs, or go to the streets to arrest him in plain clothes. Badass, most of the time at work every day is fucking meetings, meetings, and meetings with leaders and subordinates at all levels!Cheng Yu himself would rather go back to his old life, receiving the police in the small courtyard of the alley and fighting wits with all the aunts and uncles, but Luo Zhan privately hopes that Cheng Yu can sit in the office forever, don't call the police, and you, Director Cheng, will be in charge. call!

Police officer Cheng has always had stomach problems. He used to have half of his stomach cut off, and he still suffered from stomach pain after working hard and staying up late.Boss Luo meticulously cooks three meals for Officer Cheng every day.

Chu Han once said to Mr. Shen: "I saw the third master and Uncle Cheng Yu walking in Houhai Hutong that day, and they held hands quietly."

Mr. Shen didn't take it seriously: "What's the matter with the two of them walking around? If you see our third master leading other men into the street someday, you should report it to me immediately, and I'll call the police immediately."

Chu Han said: "How many years have they been together? Every time Uncle Cheng Yu doesn't have to be on duty and goes home at night, they always walk around like this."

……

At the dinner table, Luo Zhan also told Chu Han, hey nephew, just yesterday, your little friend named Fang came to Nanyuan Bathing Pool again, it’s rare to see him recently!

Chu Han hurriedly asked, "Oh? He's here again?"

Luo Zhan said: "It's been a while since this guy came to take a bath in my bathhouse. A few regular customers asked, why didn't that funny kid come? I'm still thinking, maybe that kid found him A better place to go, go to another place to play."

Chu Han was preoccupied: "Yeah...he went to another 'bathhouse' to soak in."

Luo Zhan didn't know, so: "Where is there any other house in our Beijing city? I'm the only one. Let me tell you, all the others were forcibly demolished during the renovation of the old city, and not a single tile was left!"

Luo Zhan said again: "By the way, the little boy Fang asked me if there is any news about the person who was carried out from the bottom of Daxiangfeng alley."

Chu Han: "..."

Chu Han's heart sank, and an inexplicable sharp emotion that had been suppressed for many days suddenly surged into his throat.

Chu Han said: "Third Master, when he will show up again, please let me know immediately, I have something important to ask him."

It didn't take long for his third master's friends and friends who were all over the street to send news, saying that they knew where Fang Qiantui was.Chu Han arrived quickly.He drove the car straight up the sidewalk at a meandering angle, and parked at the gate of a theater near Jinyu Alley.After getting out of the car, Chu Han strode into the theater building with a cold face.

The author has something to say: I was quite touched to eat American-style pancakes today, so I wrote a chapter about Baozi Shop. The taste of this restaurant is not bad.

Note: "Qingfeng Baozi Shop" was founded in 1948. Its original site is located in Xidan. It specializes in steamed buns and fried liver. It is a characteristic breakfast shop in Beijing.
