Solstice Secrets

"You have been following me for the past two days,"

Qing Shu nodded, and didn't think there was anything wrong with following others in such a silent way, "I want to know what kind of person you are from the side before meeting."

Ling Dongzhi asked curiously, "Then how much do you know?"

Qingshu thought for a while, with a slightly sly look in his eyes, "You don't go to work in middle school every day, there is another place where you have classes, and you go there two to three times a week. If you don't rush back to school for lunch at noon, you will Go to the fast food restaurant opposite the side entrance of the school for dinner, and leave with a cup of milk tea after the meal. Also, you like wearing short boots very much. You have changed your clothes every day when I stared at you, but you only changed two pairs of shoes on your feet , a pair of tan, and a pair of grey-green, both ankle boots."

Ling Dongzhi had never been observed so carefully by others, so he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, "What does this mean?"

"It means that you are a person who adapts to city life, but likes to go out." Qingshu felt that his words had a sense of telling a cold joke, shrugged and said with a smile: "Actually, I didn't see anything, so I think It's better to come to you directly. But I've never followed here, so I don't know which building you live in..."

Ling Dongzhi nodded, expressing his understanding, "Qingshu, can you tell me more about yourself? You know a lot about me, but I still don't know anything about you. And the one who was taken away with you My child is called Aomame."

Qingshu asked him back, "Which aspect?"

"All." Ling Dongzhi said, "I want to get to know you."

Qingshu thought for a while, "When Qingdou and I were brought to Qingshi Town by Langya, it was the first time we left Dayan Mountain. Qingdou was terrified, crying and crying, and didn't speak for a long time. We went back to the mountains, and he told us both: There was an earthquake, and the village was buried in the mountains. He said that the dead have died, but the living still have to bear the expectations of the dead and work hard to live on.”

"Aomame cried a lot and fell asleep lying on Langya's back when going down the mountain. When he woke up again, he started talking to us. Langya took us to primary school and said that we were the children he picked up. , is his child. There were not so many rules in the school in the small town. If a child came to sign up, and the parents were from the town, they all accepted it. But Langya was also very poor at that time. After a while, we It was a tough day. Of course, it got better later on.”

"When I was young, I always wanted to be a veterinarian," Qingshu smiled slightly, "Using the energy of water plant stones to relieve the pain of animals and prolong their lifespan. But after this accident, my thoughts changed. I think this People in this world are more terrifying than illnesses, and arresting a poacher is equivalent to saving the lives of dozens, dozens, or even hundreds of animals. That’s why I went to the police academy.”

Ling Dongzhi was taken aback, "Are you... a policeman?!"

Qing Shu was amused by his reaction, "Isn't it like?"

Ling Dongzhi felt stimulated again, "Then what is the main reason you came to Binhai?"

"There is an inter-provincial case, come here to learn about it."

It could be seen that Qingshu didn't want to talk about his work in detail, and Ling Dongzhi didn't intend to ask in detail, but when he heard the word police, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he subconsciously asked, "Then do you know Captain Zuo? "

Qing Shu asked him back, "You mean Zuo He?"

Ling Dongzhi nodded, and pointed at Zhuang Zhou, "We both know him. But not."

There was a look of appreciation in Qingshu's eyes, "He is a very capable person, shrewd and capable, with rich experience."

Ling Dongzhi remembered the last time he saw Zuo He, he said that he was investigating the Tu family, but he didn't know how the investigation was going.However, it is inconvenient for an outsider to ask questions like this.

Ling Dongzhi changed the subject again, "What about Qingdou?"

Qingshu pursed her lips and smiled, "She's in Gancheng. It's not too far from here. She worked in a medical equipment company some time ago, and now she seems to be struggling to open a store. I don't know the details. But if she knows that we have found a fellow People will be very happy."

Ling Dongzhi also felt happy, "Let her come to Binhai when I have time, and I will take her to play around."

Qingshu thought for a while, "Probably not in the near future, Langya's stomach is not good, she plans to go back and take him for a checkup. Let's see next month. Or when you are on summer vacation, there will be It just so happens that I can apply for a training, and it will take nearly half a year."

Ling Dongzhi was overjoyed, "Can I apply?"

Qing Shu pursed his lips and smiled, his dark brown eyes were full of certainty, "It's not a big problem."

"That's great."

Ling Dongzhi was about to jump up, and before he could say anything else, the sound of the mobile phone came from the studio.Zhuang Zhou hurriedly said, "Go and answer the phone, I will accompany the guests."

Ling Dongzhi excitedly ran to answer the phone.

As soon as his figure disappeared into the studio door, Zhuang Zhou's mouth drooped a little. He looked at Qingshu sitting opposite him, his eyes thoughtful, "Qingshu, I can see your Documents?"

Qingshu blinked and smiled, "It's not easy for you to endure until now. You didn't believe me at the beginning, did you?" He said and took out the police officer's ID from his jacket pocket and handed it over.

Zhuang Zhou took his ID, and hummed twice with a half-smile, "Everyone, each other."

Qingshu bent the corner of his mouth, but didn't make a sound.

Zhuang Zhouzai looked at the ID carefully, and the person in the photo was indeed Qingshu, younger, with straight eyebrows and righteous eyes.From a positive point of view, Zhuang Zhou felt that he and Ling Dongzhi were not very similar anymore.Ling Dongzhi's facial features are softer, and he looks indifferent when looking at people, while his facial features are more angular, and his eyes are a bit sharper than Ling Dongzhi's.

"It's really you?" Zhuang Zhou still didn't want to believe it.

"If it's a fake replacement."

Zhuang Zhou looked at it over and over for a long time, and handed it back regretfully.

Qingshu found his expression very interesting, "Do I look so unreliable?"

"It's not that you're unreliable," Zhuang Zhou shook his head, "it's that you seem too reliable. Dongzhi has the mind of an artist, and sometimes he does things very impulsively."

"Afraid that he will be deceived?" Qingshu smiled, "Men of our family will not be easily deceived. Humans will deceive people, animals will not."

Zhuang Zhou didn't take this man's words seriously, "Animals also have bad tastes." For example, his family's brown sugar played Ling Dongzhi in a daze at the beginning.

Qing Shu shook his head, "Don't treat him like a child."

Zhuang Zhou said bluntly, "I don't need you to worry about how we get along."

Qing Shu has some opinions about Ling Dongzhi finding a man, but he doesn't want to show it in front of Ling Dongzhi.Now that Ling Dongzhi was not present, he didn't bother to put on a friendly face, "I heard that you left the family business? Can you tell me the reason?"

Zhuang Zhou asked him back, "How do you know?"

"Have you forgotten what I do?" Qing Shu said with a smile, "Such a thing sounds easy."

It's not that Zhuang Zhou forgot, but he really didn't want to use him as a policeman, "Since it's easy to find out, why do you still ask me? Are you kidding me?!"

Qing Shu wanted to laugh but held back, he suddenly remembered that the next thing to do must be approved by this person, it is better not to piss him off now.

"I just want to know how determined you are to live with a man."

Zhuang Zhou was very disdainful of this sentence, which was similar to an explanation, "You don't need to make up your mind to live with a person, boy, I guess you must still be single."

Qingshu laughed again, "I am. How did you guess that?"

"There's no need to guess." Zhuang Zhou thought, it was written all over his face.For such a fluffy man who likes to pretend to be thirteen, it doesn't make sense for him not to be single.

Qingshu quickly glanced at the half-hidden studio, lowered his voice and said: "I know you don't believe me. It's okay, you can check my details as much as you like. But Mr. Zhuang, let me remind you, if you are worried about Xiaoyu That person should be me. Maybe your father and stepmother have taken a more supportive attitude towards your love life, but don't forget that there are other people in your family. What kind of attitude do they have towards the existence of Xiaoyu? Xiaoyu doesn't know, it doesn't mean you can pretend not to know."

"Who are you talking about?" Zhuang Zhou was alerted immediately, he noticed that the man in front of him said "they" instead of "he".

Qingshu smiled lightly, his eyes were meaningful, "You should be clear."

Zhuang Zhou fell silent.

Qingshu said again: "Take care of your own family affairs, don't involve the innocent."

Just as Zhuang Zhou was about to refute him, the door of the studio not far away was opened, and Ling Dongzhi walked out with a smile on his face, "Qingshu, how long will you stay in Binhai? Where do you live now?"

The expression on Qingshu's face suddenly changed, it seems that since seeing Ling Dongzhi, his eyes have become gentler, "I live in the guest house arranged by my unit, there are still about three or four days left."

Ling Dongzhi looked at him in surprise, "Do you still have to cook for yourself if you live in a hostel?"

"No, no," Qingshu laughed again, "I was just teasing that fat black man, but I actually went to the vegetable market to learn something."

Brown Tang, who was lying innocently on the gun, had a dull expression, and turned his head to look at his father pitifully, "He called me a black fat man?!"

Ling Dongzhi held back a smile and comforted it, "He said it casually. Brown Tang, you are actually of a standard figure, really. Just like you said... er, tall, rich and handsome."

The beaten brown sugar looked pitifully at this and then at that, not knowing whose words to believe now.

Ling Dongzhi assured him, "Really, trust me, you are really handsome."

Zhuang Zhou seemed to have come to his senses, his sharp eyes looked at Qing Shu immediately, "Did you speak ill of my son?"

Qingshu shook his head, "I said it casually. I didn't expect its nerves to be so delicate."

Zhuang Zhou remembered what Ling Dongzhi said about his figure just now, and probably guessed why Brown Tang was depressed, so he quickly hugged Brown Tang into his arms and rubbed it. A child's self-esteem is the most delicate, so you can't hit it casually, it will leave a terrible psychological shadow "My son is the most handsome! The most handsome in the world!"

Brown Sugar licked the back of his daddy's hand and proudly said, "My daddy is also the most handsome! The world's... the second most handsome!"

Midwinter Solstice, "..."

Qingshu, "..."

Ling Dongzhi couldn't stand the father and son's flamboyant mutual flattery, so he decisively changed the subject, "By the way, what's going on with the green tree, the water plant and the stone?"

"A kind of ore grown in the pool behind the village probably doesn't exist anywhere else. As for its specific composition..." Qingshu thought for a while, "To be honest, even if I had the conditions, I wouldn't dare to take it out and ask someone to test it."

Ling Dongzhi expressed his understanding.If its composition is linked to the secrets of the mountain gods, then it is indeed inappropriate to do so.

"The impact on people should be minimal, but for animals, it can speed up the healing of wounds and help them maintain vigorous energy. I remember seeing the village chief tie stone balls to the injured antlers when I was a child."

This explanation is not far from Ling Dongzhi's guess.Ling Dongzhi pulled out the small stone ball from his collar, "How can such a thing be used properly? For a while, Xiao Hui always liked to sleep in my arms, and the doctor said that its physical fitness is better than before."

Qingshu looked at the gray cat he was pointing at, it was rolling and playing with two other kittens on the carpet, it looked really energetic.

"I don't know much," Qingshu thought for a while, "I only remember that people in the village would hang this thing on animals to treat trauma. If you just want to slowly change its physique, you don't need to get too close to it. In a certain Within the range, the animals are sensitive. So at that time, there were always many animals around our village."

Qingshu sighed softly, "Perhaps, this is also one of the reasons for attracting poachers."
