Solstice Secrets

Ling Dongzhi agreed, but he also knew that this matter was troublesome.The people I know are limited, and they are all in the same financial situation as me. I suddenly mentioned that I opened an antique shop, but no one believed it.What's more, you can't just find someone for this matter, and if Murong Xiaoqi is tricked in reverse, he won't be able to bear it.

When Ling Dongzhi returned home, he tiptoedly looked at Cherry and its Doudou, then went to the kitchen to make a pot of tea, cut a plate of fruit and took it to Zhuangzhou's study.Zhuang Zhou was looking at the minutes of the day's meeting on the computer. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Ling Dongzhi coming in. Without raising his head, he said, "Give me 10 minutes. I'll be right away."

Ling Dongzhi agreed, and sat on the sofa in the corner with his things to wait for him.He usually doesn't take the initiative to go into Zhuangzhou's study, as a businessman, there are always some documents or accounts that are inconvenient for outsiders to see.Although their relationship is close, there are still some small details that need to be paid attention to.When he was busy in the studio, Zhuang Zhou would not take the initiative to interrupt his work, which seemed to have become a tacit understanding between the two of them.

Zhuang Zhou took the time to finish the things in his hands, and when he looked up, he saw Ling Dongzhi was frowning and absently picking the fruit plate in his hand, looking worried.

"What's wrong?" Zhuang Zhou turned off the computer, walked over and sat down beside him.

Ling Dongzhi told him about Murong Xiaoqi, and said: "At first I thought about using your name as a favor. Later, I thought it was inappropriate. You are my boyfriend. I believe you are right, but in From the perspective of others, the two of us are living together. Can people trust you? If it were me, I would definitely think about it. If one day the two of you become pornographic, what will happen to my business? If you turn your back and deny it Account, wouldn’t that be bad?”

Zhuang Zhou smiled, "It makes sense."

"I was wondering if I could ask Auntie Annie for help. But Xiaoqi and Auntie are strangers after all, and neither of them is suitable." Ling Dongzhi sighed, "There is no way for Xiaoqi to open a shop by himself, and Won't it arouse suspicion?"

Zhuang Zhou thought for a while, then asked him, "Almost every day in this city, outsiders bring their own property to start a business. I don't understand why he has so many worries?"

"Because the legitimate son of Murong's parent's house is in Binhai City. You also know that in a family like theirs, a child like Xiao Qi who is picked up is not qualified to learn their family's craftsmanship. Not only did Xiao Qi learn, but he also seems to be very If he has a level, I guess he earned his money secretly like this. If he gets the attention of the Murong family, Xiao Qi will be in trouble."

Zhuang Zhou suddenly asked: "Is the son of the Murong family he mentioned Murong Jin?"

"Murong Jin?" Ling Dongzhi thought about the name, shook his head and said, "I don't know, Xiao Qi didn't say it."

Zhuang Zhou frowned, "If it's really Murong Jin, things won't be easy to deal with. Murong Jin's mother is a child of the Cao family of Jewelry, and she is also the aunt of Cao Mingzhu and Cao Minghe's siblings. Come on, if something really happens, ordinary people really can't hold it back."

When Ling Dongzhi heard about the jewel Cao's house, he couldn't help becoming worried, "Then what should I do?"

Zhuang Zhou pondered for a moment, "Well, you can contact him and ask if it's Murong Jin. I'll find the old man here and let him think of a way."

When Ling Dongzhi heard him mention the old man, he immediately felt guilty.When he was eating with Murong Qing, he had already gone through the rich people he knew in his mind, and the most ideal candidate was Mr. Zhuang.Powerful, ambitious and experienced, and just happens to be unemployed at home, with nothing to do all day long.

He thought so, but he wasn't sure how Zhuang Zhou would think about this issue, so he thought of beating around the bush first with Zhuang Zhou to get a feel for the old man's bottom line.Unexpectedly, Zhuang Zhou himself proposed to ask the old man for help, such an attitude of thinking wholeheartedly for him, immediately made Ling Dongzhi extremely guilty.

"Forget it," Ling Dongzhi grabbed his arm, "I'll talk to Xiaoqi again to see if there's any other way..."

Zhuang Zhou stretched out his hand and rubbed his head, "For the elderly, they are only happy when a child asks for a problem that cannot be solved. The relationship between Xiao Qi and you will be involved with the dealer no matter what. For people like the Cao family, if there is any problem, my dad may not be able to take care of it. Tell my grandfather as soon as possible, there is no harm."

The old saying goes that the rich do not fight with the officials.Although Mr. Zhuang has retired now, the old man still has his prestige, and his connections in the military department should not be underestimated.With such a big Buddha standing there, I really have to think carefully about whether I should move or not.It is not a good word for a fox to pretend to be a tiger, but if you can really borrow the tiger's power, it is also luck.

Ling Dongzhi thought for a while, "Then I'd better take the time to ask Xiao Qi, lest when the old man asks about the situation with him and the Murong family, I don't know anything."

"No need." Zhuang Zhou looked at his nervous look a little funny, "Even if you tell the old man, you may not believe it. If he wants to know, he will ask someone to check."

Ling Dongzhi felt apprehensive.He didn't help Murong Xiaoqi with anything, instead he caused Mr. Zhuang to investigate him.If Murong Xiaoqi found out, would he feel that he was stealing chickens but not losing money?

Zhuang Zhou comforted him, "Don't think too much about it. What will the old man say about this matter? It's hard to say what kind of attitude it is. It's uncertain whether you can help."

Ling Dongzhi didn't say a word, but felt a little awkward in his heart.He felt that this was taking advantage of the dealer again.

Zhuang Zhou didn't take his awkward little thoughts seriously, "I told you not to think too much, we are a family, and the relationship between Xiaoqi and you is so close, even if it is an ordinary relative, if you can help It's not a big deal. If grandpa thinks it will cause trouble for the dealer, he will directly refuse."

Ling Dongzhi thought for a while, and felt that this made sense.Mr. Zhuang is a well-known old fox and the head of the family, so naturally he would not make a decision that goes against the interests of the family.Besides, even if it is an ordinary investment, don't you have to understand each other's situation?If you think about it this way, it's no surprise that Zhuang Zhou said that he might investigate Xiao Qi's situation.

"Well, I'll call my grandpa. Let's go over tomorrow and talk to him about it." Zhuang Zhou said, "Even if grandpa isn't willing to help in the end, it's good to listen to his opinion. After all, he's old and experienced. It's all there."

Ling Dongzhi thought it made sense, "Okay."

The situation on the other day was as expected by Zhuangzhou. After hearing this, Mr. Zhuang just nodded lightly, said "I'll think about it", and said nothing more.Ling Dongzhi was not sure what his attitude was, but Zhuang Zhou felt that if the old man didn't veto it, it meant there was still hope for the matter.Ling Dongzhi's feelings at the moment were rather complicated, he couldn't tell whether he hoped that this matter could be done or not.But there is no room for taking back what is said, and we can only take one step at a time.

After dinner, I dealt with some fund matters with Cheng Anni, and it was almost dinner time by the time the two returned home.Originally, Zhuang Zhou was thinking of having dinner, but Ling Dongzhi was really worried about the nest of big and small hairballs at home, so he decided to go home and solve the dinner.

When the two took a shortcut to the back street of Yujingyuan, they were stopped by a car.

The black off-road looks more high-end than Ling Dongzhi's second-hand car.When Ling Dongzhi saw three or four young people getting out of the car, he was still thinking, if they drove out in Zhuangzhou's high-end car today, I wonder if these gangsters would come over and stop them with such lack of eyesight. car?

These people all held sticks in their hands, and rushed over aggressively as soon as they got out of the car.Ling Dongzhi dared to stop at this juncture, reversed the car quickly, and tried to exit from the back street.Unexpectedly, as soon as the car retreated, another car rushed over from the street behind, blocking his way back.

Ling Dongzhi's heart sank suddenly, "Are you here for us?"

Zhuang Zhou took out his mobile phone and quickly called the police.The phone was dialed, and as soon as Zhuang Zhou reported their location, there was a loud bang, and a dense cobweb split instantly on the windshield, and then they smashed their heads and faces with a crash.A baseball bat hit the empty window frame, and then it was lifted up, hitting Ling Dongzhi behind the steering wheel.

Zhuang Zhou didn't have any weapons at hand, so he threw the mobile phone in his hand in desperation.Taking advantage of the man's brilliant effort, he quickly unbuckled his seat belt, leaned over and grabbed the baseball bat, pulled it hard, and threw the man onto the hood of the car.Zhuang Zhou punched it with his free hand, and snatched the baseball bat into his hand.

The man screamed, his nose bleeding wildly.

With a bang, the glass on the side of the driver's seat was also shattered, and the shattered glass flew around. A big hand reached in and was about to grab Ling Dongzhi's neckline.Ling Dongzhi also came to his senses at this moment, opened the car door and pushed it violently, knocking the man backwards.At the same time, a probe pulled out his own box-bottom dagger from the boot shaft.

Ling Dongzhi felt that if his survival knife had wisdom, he would be so excited that he would cry right now.Nima, the smell of stinky feet that has been stuffed in the boots for several years can finally come in handy.

Although Ling Dongzhi hadn't formally practiced, he was still a 1.8-meter-old guy, and he held a knife in his hand, so he looked quite capable of bluffing.The two punks looked at each other, but they didn't dare to jump up for a while.Zhuang Zhou also took advantage of this time to jump out of the passenger seat, knocked over a yellow hair with a stick, and started fighting with another gangster.

Except for the bastard who was knocked unconscious by Zhuang Zhou's punch, plus the two people who got out of the car behind, there were exactly five people, except for the two on one side who were evenly distributed to Ling Dongzhi and Zhuang Zhou, and one with a copy of the guy in his hand He intends to bring Ling Dong Zhi down from the flanks.Ling Dongzhi noticed this person's small movements, and glanced vigilantly at the cars blocking the road on both sides. It seemed that there were still people who were still in the car.Ling Dongzhi couldn't help crying secretly.

Although the little bastard holding a stick was worried that Ling Dongzhi had a knife in his hand, but with a short field survival knife, there was still an advantage in close combat, and it was not enough to compare with other people's sticks.After a few seconds of confrontation, the two rushed over with sticks, left and right.Ling Dongzhi didn't have any actual combat experience, so he dodged the stick on one side, and just swung the knife to force him back a few steps, when a strong force hit him from the other side, causing a sharp pain in his left shoulder, and he couldn't even lift his whole arm. I can't lift it up.The body couldn't help but tilted backwards, slid down the car body, and fell to the ground.

The gangster who succeeded in the sneak attack came over with a grin on his face, just as he swung the stick in his hand, a black shadow flashed past him.Zhuang Zhou kicked him in the stomach and almost sent him flying.Zhuang Zhou chased after him and hit him on the thigh with a stick, still feeling uneasy, kicked him twice in the chest desperately, turned around, stared viciously at the car not far away, and spat, "You bastard! Come down by yourself or wait for me to drag you down?!" Without raising his head, he slammed a stick on the body of a gangster at his feet, and the gangster who had just got up shrank back with a scream.

The door of the off-road vehicle blocking the street was opened, and two men with angry faces got out of the car, one on the left and one on the right. back to the car.

The siren of a police car was faintly heard in the distance.

The off-road vehicle turned around and ran away.Zhuang Zhou was so angry that he used all his strength to smash the stick in his hand towards the car.The car turned suddenly, narrowly avoiding the baseball bat, and then drove out of the street, disappearing like flying.Zhuang Zhou turned his head angrily, and the car behind them also fled.

"A bunch of bastards!" Zhuang Zhou said angrily, "Always take one step behind. Damn it."

Ling Dongzhi stood up cautiously while supporting his arm, and at the same time waved the phone in his hand triumphantly at him, "Don't be afraid, I took pictures of the license plate numbers of both cars! If the police uncle doesn't give us Make the decision, I will post the photos on the Internet!" His hair was messed up, his cheeks were bruised and purple, and he looked miserable, but when he smiled, his eyes were as bright as before, and there was a little worship mixed in, "Second, you were so handsome just now!"

Looking at his stupid look, Zhuang Zhou felt distressed and a little funny, "I think I practiced in the streets and alleys when I was young!"

Ling Dongzhi kicked him, "If you say you are fat, you will be out of breath immediately!"

Zhuang Zhou carefully touched the bruise on his cheek, grabbed his head and pressed it on his shoulder, and said through gritted teeth: "When I find out who the grandson is, I must kill him!"

The author has something to say:

Fanwai Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu ([-])

When the village chief, Uncle Rong, hurried back with the men in the village, Xiaoyu's father had already arranged for the people who stayed in the village to pack up all the things.The children were also dressed, and were watched by several older women playing in the courtyard of the village head.Children don't worry, and they don't care what those chirping tits are worrying about.The younger children stayed in the house and were taken care of by Xiaoyu's mother and another mother who was not yet confinement.

Dad Xiaoyu told Uncle Rong what the tits said, and Uncle Rong nodded, but his expression was very solemn, "Chang Shan, I'm afraid things will not be good this time."

Chang Shan was a little puzzled, and couldn't think of anything worse than the landslide and ground crack, and the whole family had to migrate again to find a new foothold.

"Remember that guy who poached Mu Qing met when he went out a few days ago?" Uncle Rong had a tired look on his old face, "Chang Shan, we blocked the way of the bandits, and we were hated! "

Chang Shan looked at the strange black smoke curling up from the top of the mountain in the distance, and his heart sank, "Did they touch it?"

Uncle Rong nodded, "With a gun. I'm afraid it's not far away now."

Chang Shan knew that the few shotguns in the village were incomparable with the guns brought by these poachers, so if he really wanted to do it, what would the elderly and children in the village do?

Uncle Rong stomped his feet, "No way, get the elderly and children away first."

Their family has always been small in number, and when they are hunting, they are short-handed, and the women have to do the hard work.But the situation is urgent now, if the gangsters block them all in the village with guns, I don't know what will happen.The women and children are all withdrawn, so that the men can fight with peace of mind.

Changshan knew the pros and cons of this in his heart, and hurried back to arrange for the women in the village to leave first.Going out of the mountain along the path from here, there is a small village called Zhang Village with a population of less than two or three hundred.Uncle Rong often took people there to exchange things with them.Everyone in the Shanshen family knows medicine, especially the minor ailments of headache and brain fever, which can be cured after one or two doses of medicine, so they are welcome wherever they go.Sometimes people in the clan also brought some daily necessities of oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar from the mountain to exchange prey with the mountain people, and they got along well with them after going back and forth.Later, Uncle Rong discussed with the elders in their village, spent a sum of money to build several yards there, and promised to give some benefits to the village every year.In this way, the men in the clan don't have to rush back in the dark when they used to do business.This is also a way of retreat left by Uncle Rong for the villagers.

The women in the village carried their parcels on their backs, helping the old and the young out of the village along the path.

Xiaoyu's mother had just given birth a few days ago. Although she was in good health, she couldn't hold back and hadn't recovered yet. After a busy afternoon, her face had turned pale.Seeing Xiaoyu's father come over to talk about everyone's evacuation, she unconsciously showed a look of panic.She knew that if she didn't leave, she would be a burden to the men if she stayed.But she was a little afraid to leave. She had only been sitting for a few days, and she had no strength.

Xiaoyu's father put his hand on Xiaoyu's mother's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Those people have guns, so they have to leave."

Xiaoyu's mother's eyes turned red, she nodded, "I'll go."

The couple looked down at the swaddling baby in their hands together. Xiaoyu was sleeping sweetly after eating, her pink and tender mouth was slightly pouted, as if she was acting like a spoiled child to her parents.

Xiaoyu's father ruthlessly tied the little bundle on her back, "Take care of the child."

Xiaoyu's mother looked at him, but after all she didn't say anything, she turned around and followed the two old women in the village, and walked out of the village step by step.

Xiao Yu's father looked at their backs, feeling as if a knife had broken his heart.He didn't know how far Xiao Yuma could go, and he didn't know if they could really reach Zhang Village safely.But he had no other choice. If they stayed, they would be even more dangerous.

Uncle Rong asked the men to take out all the guys in the family and lay in ambush in several hidden places outside the village.

They must hold the village, at least until dark.Otherwise, the bandits could easily find out the women's retreat route from the traces left around the village.
