Urban Night Returner

Shen Zhiyun is about to be discharged from the hospital.In fact, her body has been fine for a long time, but she met a few friends in the nursing home, and she was reluctant to leave the hospital for a while.She loves to be clean, Shen Gu thought that no one lived in her house for a month, if she didn't clean it in advance, the old lady would get angry, so she decided to clean it in advance.

If you have to go to work during the day, of course you have to go at night.Shen Zhiyun's house is located in Millennium International, but she loves the quietness and spaciousness there, and she has a car, so she doesn't feel any inconvenience.But when Shen Gu got off work and took Zhong Lecen to drive there, it was already dark.Zhong Lecen rubbed his flat stomach: "Why does your grandma live so far away?"

Shen Gu threw over the snacks he bought: "It's our grandma."

Zhong Lecen took out a piece of peach cake, broke off a piece and stuffed it into Shen Gu's mouth, and then ate it by himself: "I don't know if your grandma agrees."

Shen Gu smiled, somewhat self-deprecating: "She doesn't care. She lives so far away because she doesn't want to see me. When she sees me, she thinks of my mother, and remembers that if my mother doesn't give birth to me, she won't give birth to me." won't die."

Zhong Lecen leaned against him and hugged his arm.Shen Gu held his hand in his hand, turned the steering wheel with one hand and reversed into the parking space: "It's okay, I'm used to it. Let's go, I'll take you to meet my mother."

The house is very big, even bigger than the house in Kangjia Garden, with elegant furnishings and a complete set of mahogany furniture, which is antique, but no one has lived in it for a month, and there is a stuffy damp smell in the air.Shen Gu opened the window to breathe, and then led Zhong Lecen into a room.The room was all black and white, and there was a small altar with black velvet hangings on both sides. Inside was a crystal-encrusted urn. Under the crystal was a picture of a young girl, and next to it was written in small words: Love daughter Shen Shuqin.

Shen Gu took out three incense sticks from the cabinet next to him, lit them, inserted them into the incense burner in front of the urn, and bowed: "Mom, I'm here to see you. Bring someone here today, um, even if it's your daughter-in-law Bar."

Zhong Lecen blushed a little, but did not refute, just bowed along with him: "Hello, Auntie, I will live a good life with Shen Gu."

Shen Gu looked at him and smiled, wiped the coffin, and pulled Zhong Lecen back out: "This time I have met the parents."

Zhong Lecen kicked him: "Why am I the daughter-in-law!"

Shen Gu let him kick, just as a tickle: "Who made you so virtuous."

Zhong Lecen was so angry that he punched and kicked, Shen Gu grabbed his hand with a smile and kissed him directly.Zhong Lecen struggled twice and started to lack oxygen, so he was honest.After Shen Gu finished kissing, seeing his dizzy appearance, he couldn't help kissing again: "You sit for a while, and I'll clean it up. Let's go eat when we're done."

Zhong Lecen went to get a rag: "I'll wipe the furniture, you go to clean the glass and the floor."

Shen Gu looked at him and smiled.It's rare that someone is willing to do anything with you...

Mahogany furniture is good-looking, but it is troublesome to clean.Shen Gu looked at Zhong Lecen's carved holes one by one, and couldn't help shaking his head: "You don't need to be so careful, or you won't be able to finish it overnight. The old lady will invite hourly workers to come when she is at home."

Zhong Lecen looked at the furniture carved with delicate patterns, stretched his sore waist, gave up the huge project, and turned to superficial work.Shen Gu finished cleaning the glass quickly, went to pick him up and put him on the sofa: "Okay, I'll do the rest."

Zhong Lecen looked at the glass worriedly: "Have you wiped it clean?" The glass may be a big face.

Shen Gu shrugged: "Don't worry, I have a secret, I promise not to spend it."

"What's the secret?"

"I'll tell you with a kiss."

"Bah!" Zhong Lecen turned his head away.His lips were already a little swollen from being kissed just now, but kiss again!

Shen Gu smiled and began to wipe the floor.Zhong Lecen sat on the sofa eating with a snack bag in his arms, and said thoughtfully, "You don't look like your mother."

Shen Gu nodded: "It's not like that. That's why the old lady doesn't want to see me."

"But you're not like Mr. Xiao."

"That would be the best."

"Then who do you look like? Grandma?"

"It's even less like that. My mother doesn't look like her very much. I don't look like me at all."

Zhong Lecen sneered.Shen Gu frightened him with a mop: "Drop some dessert scum!"

Zhong Lecen made faces at him.Shen Gu wiped the floor, and said slowly: "Actually, I only saw this photo of my mother. The old lady never let me see other photos. She rarely told me about my mother. There was a year of Chinese New Year. After drinking too much rice wine, I only said a few words."

Zhong Lecen put away his smile and stretched out his hand from the sofa to hold him.Shen Gu took advantage of the opportunity to sit beside him: "She said she had a dream when she was pregnant with my mother. She dreamed that a pregnant woman was standing in front of her. The old lady asked who she was in the dream, and the woman said her name was 'Shuqin' ', I found out that I was pregnant a few days later. The Shen family has always been sparsely populated, and even my grandfather married into the house, so everyone was happy when I was pregnant, and they all said that the child was sent by that woman. So wait for my mother When I was born, I was named 'Shuqin'. Except for this, the old lady never mentioned anything about my mother to me. Only when I was admitted to the military academy and was about to leave, did she tell me about the Xiao family. thing."

Zhong Lecen listened attentively while holding a solid arm.The clothes of both of them were thin, and they pressed each other warmly.Shen Gu stroked his hair back with his hand: "It's okay. Although the old lady doesn't want to see me, I don't miss anything that should be there. You should be content."

Zhong Lecen hugged him and did not let go.Shen Gu smiled, and whispered against his face: "Did you feel bad? Then go back to comfort me at night?"

Zhong Lecen's face turned red, and he pinched him hard: "Who loves you! Wipe the floor!"

Shen Gu mopped the floor with a smile.Zhong Lecen looked at him lying on the armrest of the sofa, and suddenly remembered: "The one on you—Jin Tiezhiying, how do you feel?"

Shen Gu moved his arm: "I don't feel anything. Sometimes I forget I have this thing."

"Take it out and have a look."

Shen Gu opened his hand, concentrating for a moment, a golden light flashed in the palm of his hand, and a golden iron hero appeared in his palm.Shen Gu carefully bent his fingers to hold it, but within a few seconds, his palm was empty: "Not very obedient."

Zhong Lecen took his hand and looked over it carefully, Shen Gu was amused: "What do you see? Is there a hole?"

Zhong Lecen slapped him on the palm of the hand: "Nonsense! It's okay to have holes!"

Shen Gu picked up the mop with a smile, and the phone in his pocket rang suddenly. He looked at the number, and his face sank: "Zhou Wen."

Zhou Wen was polite on the phone: "Mr. Shen, Mr. Xiao asked me to tell you that Sunday is Mr. Xiao's funeral. Please attend." He probably made preparations early, and made up for it before Shen Gu could speak. One sentence, "Old Mr. Xiao said, you have already promised him, so please don't go back on your word."

Shen Gu turned off his phone with a sullen face.Zhong Lecen looked at him: "Go?"

Shen Gu nodded reluctantly.After all, he had already promised Xiao Shiqi that he would admit that he was from the Xiao family, and—after all, Xiao Yifan was also considered his biological father.

"I, shall I go with you?"

"No need." Shen Gu picked up his hand and kissed it, "When you go to that kind of occasion, you will feel uncomfortable, so don't suffer that. But this is also an opportunity, I happened to find out Xiao Zhengfan's tone."

Zhong Lecen snorted: "You said that child——"

"Yes. If Xiao Zhengfan is really the one who died young, it's better to ask him to reincarnate."

Funerals are indeed suffocating occasions, especially when none of the attendees are genuinely grieving.

Shen Gu was standing in front of the cemetery in a black dress, thankful he didn't bring Zhong Lecen.He can come alone in this kind of place where he suffers.

The cemetery was bought halfway up the mountain, and it is said that someone was invited to look at it for Feng Shui.A large group of people huddled together like crows, reminding Shen Gu of those ravens in the animal world who were watching for corpses.The first part here is the Xiao family, and more of them are outsiders who have interests in the Xiao family.

"You also offer a stick of incense." Xiao Shiqi sprinkled a glass of wine in front of the eldest son's grave, then turned to greet Shen Gu.Xiao Zhengfan followed behind him, and when he heard the words, he handed over the incense in his hand, but there was a look of disgust on his face.Shen Gu took the incense from his hand, and said in a low voice: "The child in the foundation of the Jinyu Building is yours, right?"

Xiao Zhengfan trembled visibly, and after a few seconds he said, "What child?"

Shen Gu sneered slightly: "Isn't it the one who claimed to have died 20 years ago? Why, my son, I can't remember this?"

Xiao Zhengfan's complexion changed a little, and he tried to calm himself down: "What nonsense! Of course I remember that a son died young, what does this have to do with the foundation? Don't act like an old man doting on you, just talking nonsense."

Shen Gu said unhurriedly: "That child hasn't been reincarnated yet, that's right, he's been sealed underground for so many years and used to nourish his yin. His bones are not complete, so he can't be reincarnated even if he wants to..." He pointed to the tombstone while talking. Walking forward, Xiao Zhengfan involuntarily followed: "What is the incomplete body, what did you say?"

Shen Gu didn't answer right away, he put the incense in front of the tombstone, hesitated for a while, and then bowed, and then said: "Why, you don't know? I heard that there was a man named Zuo Mu who designed the building. where?"

Xiao Zhengfan had a complex expression: "Zuo Mu is dead. What does it have to do with him?"

Shen Gu frowned: "Zuo Mu died? How did he die?"

Xiao Zhengfan said impatiently: "Car accident. What did you just say? What kind of yin? Why can't you reincarnate?"

Shen Gu glanced at him: "You care about him now? Why did you use him to beat the scorpion at that time?"

The muscles at the corners of Xiao Zhengfan's mouth trembled, and he said word for word: "I ask you, why can't he be reincarnated?"

Shen Gu straightened up, straightened his clothes, and walked to the side: "The bones are not complete, he refuses to reincarnate, don't you understand me?"

Xiao Zhengfan's voice suddenly rose: "What—" Then he realized his gaffe, and suppressed his voice again, "Why are the bones incomplete?"

"One of his occipital bones was taken."

Xiao Zhengfan's face was a little ugly, and he said reluctantly: "How do you know?"

Shen Gu said lightly: "His bones are in my house now, do you want to go and have a look?"

Xiao Zhengfan's face suddenly changed: "You——you dug him out?"

Shen Gu glanced at him: "What? Afraid of breaking your Feng Shui?"

Xiao Zhengfan reached out to grab Shen Gu.Shen Gu dodged slightly to make his hands empty: "Just say what you have to say. Others are watching."

Xiao Zhengfan looked around, and sure enough, many people were paying attention to them, so he had no choice but to withdraw his hand, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "You actually dug him out! Do you know that once Feng Shui is broken, all the property in the Xiao family will be destroyed?" Everyone will suffer! Do you—the old man know?”

Shen Gu shrugged.Who knows if Xiao Shiqi knows?Xiao Zhengfan's face was livid, he turned around and was about to leave.Shen Gu said lightly behind him: "Don't you want that child to be reincarnated?"

Xiao Zhengfan paused for a moment, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll contact you when I have time." After speaking, he walked towards Xiao Shiqi.

Shen Gu watched him bend down and whispered a few words in Xiao Shiqi's ear, Xiao Shiqi raised his head, glanced at Shen Gu sharply, and then let Xiao Zhengfan push him far away to the side.Shen Gu's eyes followed them, passed among the talkers in groups of three and four, and suddenly saw a person.He had seen this person before, the person who appeared in the parking lot of Jinyu Building that day.

Jian Pin stood talking with a group of young people, and looked at Shen Gu from time to time.Shen Gu approached slowly, nodded to him, and Jian Pin walked over immediately: "I thought you wouldn't come today." As an excited young man, he still had no doubts about Shen Gu's status as a former special soldier. There is a mentality of worship.

Shen Gu smiled, and motioned to the person over there with his eyes: "Who is that person?"

Jian Pin took a look: "You mean little uncle? He just came back from abroad, so you haven't seen him."

Uncle?That is Xiao Qingfan?

"I heard that he went abroad with his designer assistant?"

"That's right. The designer's name was Zuo Mu. This time they had a car accident on the way back to China, and Zuo Mu died. The little uncle was lucky, he had a concussion, and nothing else happened. He stayed in the hospital for a few days and just came back the day before yesterday. of."

Shen Gu frowned.Back home the day before yesterday?But it was the day before yesterday that he showed up in the underground parking lot of the Jinyu Building.

Of course, Jian Pin didn't know what Shen Gu was thinking, and continued to say mysteriously: "People say that my little uncle has something to do with Zuo Mu. I heard that this is popular abroad now..."

Shen Gu pondered for a while: "Have you seen this Zuo Mu?"

Jian Pin nodded: "I saw it when I was looking for my mother before. What's the matter, aren't you also interested in him?"

Shen Gu didn't answer: "Are there any photos of him?"

Jianpin frowned and thought for a while: "Maybe there will still be on the group's website? Because Jinyu was also involved in the design back then, that group of designers may have photos."

Shen Gu snorted, and then glanced at Xiao Qingfan again.Xiao Qingfan was talking to someone, his face was full of spring breeze, his face was not as pale as when he was in the parking lot of Jinyu Building, he was dressed very stylishly, even though it was also a black dress, it was decorated with some silver ornaments, it looked extraordinarily unique walk alone.Because many people present were paying attention to Shen Gu, he occasionally glanced at Shen Gu, but his eyes were unfamiliar, clearly looking at a stranger, which was completely different from that day in Jinyu Building.Shen Gu frowned.He was also sure that he didn't know Xiao Qingfan before, but that day in Jinyu Building, Xiao Qingfan looked at him as if he had known him for many years, even - very kindly.But now he seemed to be a different person again.

Xiao Zhengfan finally pushed Xiao Shiqi back, his face relaxed a lot.Xiao Shiqi coughed lightly, and everyone in the cemetery stopped talking and looked at him.Xiao Shiqi looked around: "Thank you everyone for taking the time to send Yifan, our Xiao family didn't say anything, a glass of thin wine is a thank you for Yifan. Please move."

Shen Gu frowned, not intending to join in the fun, but just as he took two steps, Xiao Qingfan had already walked beside him in a flash: "Shen Gu." Now his eyes have completely changed, completely different from the unfamiliarity just now Ruo two people are as eager as they were on the day in Jinyu Mansion.

Shen Gu stopped in his tracks: "What did you go to Jinyu Building that day?"

Xiao Qingfan didn't seem to hear what he said, and kept staring at his neck: "Where's your piece of jade?" The weather was already hot, and the top button of the heavy shirt collar was unbuttoned, and his neck could be seen He didn't wear anything.

Shen Gu narrowed his eyes slightly.We met twice, every time Xiao Qingfan would ask about this piece of jade, what does it mean?And didn't Xiao Yifan give that piece of jade?What is Xiao Qingfan asking?

"I didn't wear it."

Xiao Qingfan showed a nervous look: "How can you not wear it?"

Shen Gu raised his eyebrows: "What does it have to do with you?"

Xiao Qingfan's expression darkened, and Shen Gu almost thought it was a sad expression, but at this moment Xiao Zhengfan turned around and shouted: "Xiao Wu! Dad is looking for you."

Xiao Qingfan trembled slightly, and said quickly: "Put that jade on, it's not good for you to take it off." After speaking, he turned around quickly, as if he was a little dizzy from turning too fast, He supported his head with his hands, his body shaking a little.Shen Gu stretched out his hand to help: "Uncomfortable?"

Xiao Qingfan stood with her eyes closed for a few seconds, opened her eyes to look at him, and smiled politely: "It's nothing, I bumped into it in a car accident, and I still feel dizzy now and then. Thank you. Hey, you are my elder brother's Son?"

Shen Gu was stunned for a moment.Xiao Qingfan's appearance has changed too quickly, right?Just now I was telling him to ask for Dai Yu, but now it seems that I don't know him anymore.Could it be that he—dual personality?But even with a dual personality, he won't have intermittent amnesia, right?
