Split personality
Chapter 31 Drunken Gold [3 in 1]
Speaking of which, there are some similarities between Su Mo and the ghost face;
In the 10th district, both of them were lone rangers, and they rarely communicated with others.
Su Mo had an indifferent temperament and didn't like to be in contact with people. Coupled with Chu Han's reason, others dared not approach him at all.But the ghost face is not. It's not that the ghost face doesn't like it, but it can't.
Can't communicate with people, which sounds a lot like autism;
Su Mo is not sure if Ghost Face has autism, but it is safe for him to have mental problems and be very dangerous.Even though Ghost Face is one of the four demons, his sense of existence is the lowest among the four, and even many times, everyone will ignore his existence.
He likes to stay alone in the corner for a long time.The longest time, according to someone's statistics, the ghost face once squatted in the corner without eating, drinking or moving, for as long as 72 hours!
However, Ghost Face is very contradictory; he seldom speaks and prefers to be alone in a daze, but at certain times, he always hangs out in crowds.
What's even more strange is that even if he is in a crowd, others will still ignore him.
One of the most common sights in the 10th district is that a group of people are chatting happily, and suddenly a masked person is seen out of the corner of their eyes.First, he skipped over him and continued chatting, then suddenly came back to his senses, breaking out in a cold sweat...
Logically speaking, what qualifications does such a non-existent person have to be on an equal footing with Su Mo, Ke Lao, and Ryan Te?
Naturally, he is qualified, and the biggest qualification is - dancer Leant, who once suffered from Ghost Face!
There is no need to explain Leant's madness, but is it a simple person who can make him suffer?This is also the reason why Leant was very disgusted when he mentioned the ghost face.
The reason why Su Mo was afraid of him was probably because this guy was like a bomb just like Chu Han.It's just that Chu Han is an ignited bomb, and Ghost Mian is a time bomb.
Not to mention why the ghost face appeared in Chengdu, just after hanging up the Leant video call, Su Mo received another strange call...
In Ya'an City in autumn, the sun is rarely seen even in the daytime, and it gets dark around five o'clock in the afternoon.
There is a coffee shop on the fifteenth floor of a certain building. The coffee shop is quiet and elegant, with few customers.
Although the woman was swiping her mobile phone, her mind was obviously not here. She looked up from time to time, as if she was waiting for someone.
Seeing Su Mo appearing and walking towards her, the woman let out a long sigh of relief, and then gave an ugly smile, "I thought you wouldn't come."
Su Mo nodded indifferently, then sat opposite the woman;
"When we were young, we were in the front and back rows, and you were always silent. Even Wei Sihan, who had the best relationship with you, looked like a stranger."
The woman's eyes were confused, and she seemed to be caught in memories, "Because you don't fit in with others, everyone privately said that you were sick, and they always wanted to play some pranks to trick you."
Su Mo frowned, he didn't have that impression;
Seemingly seeing Su Mo's doubts, the woman smiled and said, "Of course you don't have the impression, that guy Wei Sihan helped you block it."
When he was in elementary school, Wei Sihan had always called himself Su Mo's 'bodyguard', and he seemed to be very competent.
"Su Mo, do you know that everyone is disgusted by your incompatibility...but at the same time, everyone envies you, including me."
"You are like a little adult every day. It seems that there are no difficulties in the world that can hinder you...Of course, it mainly refers to learning."
"In middle school, the gap between us became even bigger. At that time we realized that you were not out of the group, but disdain to talk to us, because you are a genius."
"Genius has its own halo. At that time, even if everyone wanted to get close to you, they would not dare..."
Su Mo frowned. He didn't understand why Mei Ling said this suddenly, and he wasn't interested in hearing what she said.
"What do you want to say?" Su Mo interrupted coldly.
"Still so indifferent!"
Mei Ling smiled wryly and said, "You have never attended a class reunion these years, but everyone has never forgotten you, and you are even talked about at every reunion... There is no way, you have too much halo."
There was a trace of sarcasm on the corner of Su Mo's mouth. Do you want to get closer through the so-called 'common memory'?
Mei Ling seems to be caught in the memory, the memory has its own filter, it is always so beautiful...
Mei Ling, who was caught in memories, had a happy smile on her lips, but soon the happiness disappeared and turned into fear and anxiety.
"Su Mo, do you know? I have forgotten a lot of things, and my memory is getting worse and worse! There are so many things, I tried my best, but I just can't remember them!"
"I... I don't want to die!"
In the end, Mei Ling collapsed.
No one dies, save some madmen;
"You are already dead."
The indifferent words brought Mei Ling back to reality, her face was full of resentment and resentment, "Why? Why did I die? I have never done anything harmful, why should I die?"
"I'm still young, I still have a lot of dreams, I...I want to live!"
Mei Ling stood up, grabbed Su Mo's left hand with both hands, and begged tearfully, "Su Mo, please! Please help me!"
Mei Ling didn't know where Su Mo got such a great ability, and how she discovered her abnormality, even He Bei who was 'lodging' on her body could scare away, but this was enough to make her regard Su Mo as a life-saving straw.
Not to mention whether Su Mo has the ability to revive her, even if there is, Su Mo will not save her.
"Tell me, how did you die. Also, why is she on your body." Withdrawing his hand, Su Mo's face was as calm as ever.
"Hehe, you haven't changed at all."
Mei Ling also regained her composure, "Same as before, cold and ruthless, arrogant and cruel. Do you know? You have always been like this since you were a child, and you will always look aloof, which is very annoying!"
Su Mo was noncommittal, because he never thought of being liked by others.
"I was very surprised when I saw you yesterday. You saw through the fact of my death at a glance, which frightened me even more." Picking up her coffee and taking a sip, Mei Ling said firmly, "You really are not a normal person!"
Changing from a living person to a ghost has subverted Mei Ling's values for more than 20 years.Having collapsed countless times, she didn't know how long it took her to adapt to the fact of her death.
Of course Su Mo would not explain to her, and asked again, "Where is He Bei? Where is it?"
This time, Mei Ling doesn't smell like He Bei, which is why the two of them can sit down and 'chat about life' calmly.
"It's hurt, so...you have a grudge against He Bei?" Mei Ling wondered, "She seems to hate you very much, and is also very afraid of you!"
"Tell me, what is your purpose for coming to me." He Bei was not around, and Su Mo was too lazy to argue with Mei Ling.
"I want to live!"
Su Mo frowned, but before he refused, Mei Ling continued, "I know you won't save me, but someone can... Su Mo, please leave! Don't meddle in this matter, okay?"
Su Mo didn't speak, but his silent attitude proved everything.
"You, don't force me!"
Mei Ling showed a grim expression on her face, "I know that I am not your opponent, and neither is He Bei, but it doesn't mean you can win! He Bei told me that your companions are also very powerful, but...someone is more powerful than you! "
Su Mo didn't speak, but stared at Mei Ling coldly.
Mei Ling broke down again, "It's true that I want to live, but I don't want to kill you just to 'resurrect' myself! Su Mo, please go, he..."
"Who is he?" Su Mo asked.
Mei Ling struggled, "Don't ask me, I don't know either!"
"Look at your appearance, are you not leaving?"
Su Mo was silent again.
"I see."
After struggling for a long time, Mei Lin gritted his teeth and said, "Stay away from He Zi'an!"
After all, get up and leave...
"Is He Zian?"
After Mei Ling left, Su Mo did not leave in a hurry, but fell into deep thought.
Fan Xingwei also mentioned He Zian, but he only told Su Mo that He Zian was abnormal, and Fan Xingwei didn't see what was wrong.
In fact, his and Fan Xingwei's goal tomorrow is He Zi'an.As for the opening of the coffin and autopsy, it was just an excuse.
Mei Ling finally warned him to stay away from He Zian. Whether she was out of the last little friendship with classmates or something else, at least it proved that He Zian did have a problem, and it might be dangerous!
Will He Zian be the one that Mei Ling said could 'resurrect' her?
'buzz~~'
The phone rang again, and the number showed Weisham;
"Where are you? Come back quickly, the new autopsy report is out!"
There was obvious eagerness and uneasiness in Wei Sihan's voice. Su Mo hung up the phone and returned to the hotel immediately...
Wei Sihan, who was lingering at the door, had been waiting impatiently. As soon as Su Mo opened the door, he couldn't wait to lock it, and said in a cold sweat, "Damn, what a hell!"
Wei Sihan took out the latest autopsy report from his pocket, which was also unstamped, but the meaning was very clear—He Wanli, died 60 years ago!
It was 30 years last time, but this time it turned into 60 years!
Corpse decay?
The autopsy report didn't say that;
So, what does the 60s represent?
Representing the real He Wanli, who died in his 20s!
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and Su Mo said coldly, "60 years ago, it was the time when He Wanzhou and He Bei died!"
"Hey, that's not the point, is it?" Wei Sihan was anxious, "I seriously suspect that this is a prank that you all conspired together to disgust me, right?"
mischief?
After something flashed through his mind, Su Mo hurriedly asked, "Did the same person make the autopsy report last time? Was it a mistake last time, or..."
"It's the same person."
Wei Sihan slumped on the sofa, rubbed his head hard, and said weakly, "His name is Meng Dongle, he is my college classmate... He told me very firmly that both reports were correct! Both were correct! Hehe, now not only I am going crazy, but he is going too."
Meng Dongle is a forensic major and has a good relationship with Wei Sihan, so he agreed to Wei Sihan's request to do an autopsy for He Wanli.However, the result of the identification shocked him very much.
During the first appraisal, Meng Dongle confirmed that he was not wrong, but this result was too unbelievable.Cautiously, he brought the collected 'specimen' back to the laboratory and made a second identification.As a result... the time of death turned out to be 60 years ago!
"There is nothing wrong in 30 years, and there is nothing wrong in 60 years. What does this mean?"
It means that He Wanli has been dead for 30 years and 60 years;
Indeed, he had died only three days ago.
Su Mo had a vague guess in his heart, but he was not sure, so he immediately said, "Find a way to find the family tree of the He family!"
Wei Sihan hesitated for a while, but agreed.
After sending Wei Sihan away, Su Mo thought about it, and told Fan Xingwei the news.
It wasn't that he had much trust in Fan Xingwei, but that he wanted Fan Xingwei to help him do one thing - visit the He family's old house again, and find a way to get the genetic slices of all the people in the He family, especially He Zi'an!
Su Mo originally wanted to complete this matter alone, but firstly, he is not familiar with the old house, and coupled with the heavy workload, it is very likely that he will not be able to handle it overnight; It's a powerful thing, but relying on his own words, it is very likely to scare the snake.
Su Mo is naturally not afraid, but it will not be worth the loss if it affects the visit tomorrow;
Fan Xingwei's reply was also very straightforward, and the two hit it off immediately and decided to visit the old house again at 2 o'clock in the morning.
When he was two hours old, Wei Sihan sent all the eighteen generations of the He family's ancestors to Su Mo's phone.Su Mo glanced roughly, and found that the earliest can be traced back to the end of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, the older the information, the less detailed, and even some names are ambiguous.And the clearest one is that during the period of the Republic of China, He Shaoquan abandoned his pen and joined the army.
Su Mo didn't care much about the history of the He family. After sending a copy of the existing personnel list to Fan Xingwei, Su Mo left the hotel quietly at 1 o'clock in the morning, not even disturbing Xiao Hu next door...
At two o'clock in the morning, Su Mo and Fan Xingwei arrived at their destination - the He family's old house.
The old house of the He family is located in the suburbs; because it was built in the Republic of China, its style is similar to the courtyard of the Qiao family in Qi County, Shanxi.Such an old house is considered a wonder in a modern city.
The old man of the He family passed away suddenly. In recent days, the old house has been full of people.However, it was still empty in the wee hours of the morning, as if all the enthusiasm disappeared in an instant.
Both Su Mo and Fan Xingwei's physical fitness has been strengthened by 'Dreamland Paradise', as long as they avoid the cameras, it is not difficult to sneak into this house that is almost full of dead ends.
Before they came, the two had set their own goals. After arriving at the old house, they sneaked into the house without even exchanging greetings...
Su Mo's target is He Wanli's eldest son, He Yanghui, and his eldest daughter, He Wan;
He Zian is the only son of He Yanghui. Although Mei Ling warned him not to get close to He Zian, Su Mo still decided to try to see what is so special about him.
The first to 'visit' was the eldest daughter He Wan's family;
The eldest daughter is five years older than the eldest son He Yanghui, and the whole family came to mourn this time.Including her husband, two sons and a daughter, and even the three-year-old grandson born to the eldest son.
He Wan is also in her 50s now, and has been married to the He family for more than 30 years.Su Mo didn't think that he could get any useful information from her. The reason why he came here was just in case.
Facts have proved that his caution is correct-at least he has gained a very valuable piece of news!
"He Wan, what on earth do you want to do? The old man just died!"
He Wan's husband, Feng Yongde, patted the table angrily, "We came back to fight for the family property, not tear down the table!"
"Hmph, I know better than you how much the He family has!"
He Wan sneered and said, "The old man is dead, what's the use of keeping the stage? Dismantle it early and save worry, so as not to..."
"Oh, I know you feel aggrieved."
Feng Yongde sighed deeply, hugged his wife and comforted him, "Why am I not? Liangliang is also my son!"
Speaking of Liangliang, He Wan, who seemed very tough, choked up.
"Liangliang was only five years old when he died! If he was still alive, he would definitely be more sensible and loving than Zian..."
Hearing He Zi'an's name, Feng Yongde said with a little dissatisfaction, "As an aunt, why do you love your nephew more than your son? Look at Zi'an's attitude towards you today. You have loved him for nothing all these years."
"Zian is the son of my own brother, why should I not feel pain?"
A flash of panic flashed in He Wan's eyes, and then she said angrily, "Also, why don't I love my son anymore? Didn't I bring up my son and daughter with my own hands? Did you take care of it?"
"Okay, okay, all the pain is fine! It's already two o'clock, let's go to bed quickly! Tomorrow, we're not talking about tearing down the table, okay?"
It wasn't until the two of them turned off the lights and went to sleep that Su Mo sneaked into the room and spent a few fantasy coins to collect He Wan's blood without the two of them knowing.
Compared with collecting blood, Su Mo cares more about the "stage" in He Wan's mouth.
With doubts in his heart, Su Mo collected the blood samples of all members of He Wan's family, including the three-year-old grandson, and rushed to the south courtyard where He Yanghui's family lived.
On the way, Su Mo kept thinking about He Wan's words.
He Wan mentioned the 'Liang Liang' Su Mo knew, he was He Wan's first son, but unfortunately died of illness when he was five years old.
Judging from He Wan's few words, Liangliang's death seems to be worth deliberating...
The reason why Su Mo cares about this is probably because Liangliang died not too long ago, exactly 30 years ago!
Is there some connection between Liangliang's death and He Wanli?
After seven turns and eight turns, Su Mo came to the courtyard where He Yanghui's family lived.
As soon as he entered the yard, there were bursts of voices that seemed to be absent, sad and angry;
The voice was extremely low, it sounded like she was singing, and it had a faintly dramatic accent.Looking along the source of the sound, Su Mo's eyes became sharp - that was He Zian's room;
Without further hesitation, Su Mo went straight to He Zian's room...
Surprisingly, Su Mo was in vain;
no one in the room;
Not only was there no one there, but even the vague moaning sound disappeared after approaching the room.
Compared with other people, He Zian's blood is the most important thing. If they don't get it tonight, their operation has already failed.
Frowning slightly, Su Mo searched He Zian's room carefully, but found nothing except a few hairs on the bed.
In the middle of the night, where will He Zian go?
Thinking of He Wan's words, Su Mo decided to go to the 'stage' in the backyard to have a look.
Although the He family is an old house, it was built in the Republic of China; Sichuan is not like the Forty-Nine City in the Republic of China, and dramas are not very popular. Why did He Shaoquan build a stage in the house?
Listening to what He Wan said, He Wanli seemed to be very concerned about this stage before he died.It's just that He Shaoquan likes to go to the theater, so does He Wanli like it?Why didn't He Zi'an allow it to be demolished?Just because of filial piety?
With these questions in mind, Su Mo sneaked into the backyard.
As soon as he arrived in the backyard, he felt a strange... No, it was a cold breath!
Su Mo is very familiar with this breath - He Bei.
After He Bei left Mei Ling, she escaped here!
Su Mo accidentally knew about ghosts, but he didn't think that everyone could become a ghost after death.If so, their world would have been messed up.
Did He Bei die miserably?
Maybe, but she didn't die unjustly, at least Su Mo thinks so;
It is rare for He Bei to turn into a ghost after death. After turning into a ghost, he can still stay in the "Yangjian" for more than 60 years without dying. How could there be no problem?
Because of "He Bei's resentment", Su Mo could detect obvious resentment from He Bei.It is also because of the existence of 'He Bei's resentment' that as long as He Bei appears, Su Mo can find her immediately.
For example, now, even if He Bei hides, Su Mo still knows that she is in the backyard;
"He Bei's Resentment" came from Su Mo killing her twice in a row in the script, but He Bei in the real world was killed by Tan Le.From Tan Le's diary, He Bei obviously abused this step-brother.Therefore, He Bei's death was not wronged, and there was no reason to turn into a ghost.
More importantly, He Bei's resentment was only directed at Su Mo.But from the perspective of "wraith", she is not a fierce ghost, nor is she very powerful. It is unbelievable that she can stay together for sixty years.
As for Mei Ling, it seems that some kind of deal has been reached with He Bei...
After scanning around casually, but not finding He Bei's "ghost", Su Mo ignored her and walked towards the stage in the deepest part of the backyard.
The closer he got to the stage, the more serious the expression on Su Mo's face was - the voice heard in He Zian's room appeared again.
This time Su Mo heard clearly that it was a drama, and it was Kunqu Opera!
Su Mo vaguely felt that the aria was selected from Tang Xianzu's "The Peony Pavilion", but he couldn't tell which passage it was.Because, the Kunqu opera that came from my ears only had background music, but no one sang it.
There were still a hundred steps away from the stage, but Su Mo stopped there;
He saw a fire;
Someone burned paper money on the table!
At this time, the one who burned the paper money was obviously He Wanli.But, who is so bold, dare to go to the deserted stage to pay homage in the middle of the night?
Su Mo really wanted to go deeper, but a voice deep in his heart told him that he couldn't go any further.
Even if you take a step forward, you will encounter danger!
woo woo woo... yay...
There was a faint sobbing sound coming from the ear, and matched with the sad Kunqu opera, there was a sense of lifeless loneliness.
She was obviously crying, but her crying sound was ups and downs, it seemed like she was singing and she was being coquettish.
Opening his left hand slightly, a small mahogany sword appeared in Su Mo's hand;
The moment the mahogany sword appeared, there was a gust of whirlwind around it, and the sobbing sound stopped abruptly!
Frowning, Su Mo put away the little sword;
After a while, the sound of 'whimpering' came again, and the open flame on the stage became brighter.At the same time, Su Mo smelled a faint smell of paper money.
Find a corner to hide, and a small sparrow appeared in Su Mo's hand;
The little sparrow was neither noisy nor noisy, and was very obedient. Su Mo gave an order, and the little sparrow flew towards the stage with its wings flashing...
At the same time, through the 'Witch's Crystal Ball', Su Mo finally saw clearly what was on the stage!
are 'things', not people;
Or rather, not a normal person—it was a paper doll.
The paper figurine is extremely realistic. His face is painted red and dark green, and his body is thickly colored. Under the bright firelight, he looks extremely charming;
However, Su Mo didn't feel scared.
Cherry mouth and apricot face, originally heavy makeup, but it can't hide the sorrow between the eyebrows;
The paper figurine is a man and an actor;
The paper figurine is burning paper;
It honors the dead;
Su Mo's first reaction was, aren't you afraid to set yourself on fire?
As if in response to this sentence, a gust of wind blew in, and a spark jumped onto the paper figurine.
The paper figurine screamed and got up hastily.
At this time, a man appeared beside him;
The man grabbed the paper figurine, and while knocking out the sparks, he said angrily, "Did you forget? You can't get close to the fire!"
He was obviously angry, but the man's voice was full of obvious affection and distress.
The paper figurine threw himself into the man's arms with a babble, and choked up, "It's all my fault, Wan Li didn't deserve to die."
"What are you talking about, sir, grandpa...Look, do my clothes look good?"
After finishing speaking, the man took a few steps back, then stood at attention and saluted, his brows were full of arrogance and complacency.
Through the sparrow, Su Mo could see clearly that the man was wearing an officer's uniform from the Republic of China period!
Armored and tall, heroic;
"Zian, you..."
The paper figurine groaned and threw itself into the man's arms again...
The man hugged the paper figurine tightly and kissed it affectionately;
"Sir, can you sing "The Peony Pavilion" for me again?"
"Father, I listen to you..."
The paper figurine stretched its hand into the man's chest, with a voice full of intimacy and coquettishness;
"Hahaha!!"
The man laughed wildly, then picked up the paper figurine and left the stage...
It wasn't until the man and the paper figurine walked away that Su Mo behind the crystal ball smiled coldly, "It's really a drama with deep affection!"
Su Mo didn't know what the hell the paper figurine was, but he remembered the man's name——He Zian.
No wonder I had to be in the room, but I came here!
Mei Ling didn't let him get close to He Zian, probably because of this paper figurine.At this moment, Su Mo can basically be sure that all the behind-the-scenes manipulators are inseparable from the paper figurine.Even the 'person' who promised Mei Ling's 'resurrection', nine out of ten it was it.
Su Mo didn't know who the paper figurine was, but he could clearly see the 'affection' of the paper figurine.
The deep affection for He Zi'an, the deep affection for He Wanli... Really fraternity.
I just wanted to take back the little sparrow and leave here, but I saw it through the sparrow Su Mo...
Get up and go to the stage;
In the corner of the stage, where He Zi'an and the paper figurine "you and me" unexpectedly had an extra piece of jade pendant.
Su Mo remembered this jade pendant—the paper figurine was hanging on his waist, the only thing that wasn’t paper;
Picking up the jade pendant, Su Mo played with it carefully, but didn't see anything unusual.
Even so, it was the paper figurine that fell, and Su Mo still decided to take it back and study it carefully.
However, just as he was about to leave, a female voice filled with eagerness and joy came from beside his ear!
"Ah! I found the jade pendant!"
Su Mo was taken aback for a moment, turned around suddenly, and then...
The surrounding scene changed drastically, and he came to a courtyard full of messy theater troupe belongings... and the person who made the sound was a little girl wearing the costume of the Republic of China.
"Master, the jade pendant in your hand was dropped by my husband, can you return it to me?"
The girl's voice was filled with apprehension and anticipation. Su Mo remained calm and asked coldly, "Oh? Who is your husband?"
"Oh, the young master came to listen to the play, how come you don't even know the name of the gentleman!"
The girl chuckled, and then said, "My husband is a well-known master of Kunqu opera in Sijiu City, Mr. Liu Rumei Liu!"
Four Nine Cities is naturally Beijing, but this name is rarely used now, let alone ordinary people.
And now that Su Mo is in Sichuan, how could he return to Beijing in the blink of an eye?
So, this is an illusion;
The name Sijiucheng was mostly used in the period of the Republic of China. Coupled with the girl's attire, it reminded him of the He family tree, so Su Mo could basically determine how many years it was in the Republic of China.
"If we talk about opera, I am the only one in Peking Opera in Forty-Nine City, so why are there so many masters of Kunqu Opera?" Su Mo's tone was obviously sarcasm, and even his expression was full of sarcasm.
Choked by Su Mo, the girl's cheeks flushed red.
She stopped looking at Su Mo, and instead turned behind him and said angrily, "Master, if your brother hears this, he will lose his head!"
Army Lord?younger brother?
What the hell?
Su Mo turned his head abruptly, and then was stunned on the spot;
he saw a man;
That person is none other than Chu Han;
Since it is an illusion, it is reasonable for Chu Han to run out, the key is Chu Han's attire...
Military uniforms, leather boots, belts...
It's like a copy of He Zi'an's outfit!
He was also full of energy, but compared to He Zian's heroic figure, Chu Han, who was dressed in military uniform, had a ruffian air about him.
He Zi'an wore his military uniform very neatly, every button was very strict.Chu Han was different. It would not be dignified to loosen even one button from his collar, but he undid two of them.
At this moment, Chu Han's honey-coloured collarbone loomed, coupled with the half-loose belt around his waist, and the wicked smile that never faded from the corner of his mouth...the whole person exuded a certain indescribable evil spirit and abstinence.
Really...
Su Mo is fine, the little girl next to her is already staring and drooling.
Seeing Su Mo staring at him stupidly without speaking, Chu Han put his arms around his waist, grinned and said, "How about it, how about my outfit?"
Su Mo hadn't spoken yet, but the little girl beside her said with spring in her eyes, "You're so handsome! Jun Ye, you are... a good-looking talent!"
The girl's praise was very helpful to Chu Han, but he still hugged Su Mo tightly, obviously waiting for his evaluation.
Su Mo pursed his lips and spit out two words silently...
"soldier of fortune!"
Chu Han was satisfied, but still did not let go.
"That...Master Jun, can you ask your younger brother to return the jade pendant to my husband?"
The girl finally stopped being a nymphomaniac, and said anxiously, "The jade pendant is not worth much, but it is very important to my husband!"
Chu Han didn't care about the jade pendant or not, but Su Mo said, "Yes, but I have to give it to Mr. Liu myself."
The girl secretly glanced at Chu Han, "Okay then, I'll take you there. But, young master, your outfit is really strange!"
Su Mo is wearing modern clothes, which is of course strange in the Republic of China.
Since Chu Han can change disguises, he might as well...
As soon as I thought of this, my clothes changed, and I looked like a young master of the Republic of China.
The girl smiled happily, "It's much more comfortable this way! Young Master, you and your brother really look alike and are equally handsome!"
After speaking, the girl stuck out her tongue and ran towards the back hall with cheerful steps.
Su Mo put aside Chu Han's restraint, and followed closely...
When Su Mo and Chu Han entered the back hall, the sad Mr. Liu was stamping his feet back and forth anxiously.
"Sir, the jade pendant has been found!"
"really?"
Mr. Liu hurried over, and when he saw Su Mo and the two of them, he was taken aback.
The corner of Su Mo's mouth curled up. Isn't this Mr. Liu the same paper figurine from before?
"Two..."
Su Mo showed a kind smile on his face, and handed the jade pendant to Liu Rumei, "Since this thing is so important to Mr., I must treasure it carefully in the future, and don't lose it again."
"Ah, thank you son!"
Liu Rumei took the jade pendant thankfully, and then couldn't help but glance at Chu Han behind Su Mo, his eyes flashed with obvious amazement.
"This military master..."
"Call Grandpa!"
Chu Han never pretends to anyone other than Su Mo;
No matter whether it is the uncle or the military master, there is no embarrassment for Liu Rumei and other actors.
But seeing Liu Rumei leaning towards Chu Han slightly, she said with a slight smile, "Thank you two for finding the jade pendant for Rumei, as a way of expressing my gratitude, after tonight's performance, how about Rumei treating you to tea?"
Su Mo naturally agreed, but Chu Han, who was always surly, did not object.
Seeing that Liu Rumei was about to say goodbye and leave, Su Mo suddenly said, "Mr. Liu, this jade pendant looks familiar to me... It seems that I have seen it at He Shaoquan's place."
The reason why they called He Shaoquan directly was that apart from not knowing He Shaoquan's military position, they could also warn Liu Rumei that they were not afraid of He Shaoquan.
Sure enough, when she heard the word 'He Shaoquan', Liu Rumei's expression changed instantly.If it wasn't for the girl beside him who helped him in time, Bao Buqi would have collapsed to the ground in fright.
"Young...Master, don't talk nonsense, this jade pendant is from Rumei's ancestors, and has nothing to do with He Fu!"
"Yes Yes!"
The girl was even more anxious, "Sir and Deputy He absolutely have no personal affair, young master...and military master, you must not tell the commander in chief!"
Su Mo remained silent, and Chu Han was even more malicious;
Seeing this, Liu Rumei, who was pale and sweating, fell to her knees with a plop, and said in a sad voice, "Rumei swears that I have no selfish relationship with Fu Fu! This jade pendant... this jade pendant was picked up by Rumei by accident, and she didn't know It belongs to He Fu!"
It was said before that it was passed down from the ancestors, and it will soon become picked up. It's really interesting...
Liu Rumei hurriedly handed the jade pendant back to Su Mo, and begged, "Since the young master knows that the jade pendant belongs to Deputy He, why don't you return it to the original owner on Rumei's behalf! It's just that Rumei has something to ask, so don't let it out. Otherwise, Rumei will die without a place to bury her!"
The status of actors in the Republic of China was humble, even inferior to prostitutes, even the so-called "everyone".
He himself knew that Liu Rumei's resignation was full of loopholes. The reason why he handed over the jade pendant to Su Mo was more of an acceptance of fate—leave the handle in his hands, and let Su Mo control his wealth and life.
"Mr. Liu, don't worry, brother... and I won't say anything." Su Mo glanced at Chu Han and smiled softly.
"Then, that Rumei will leave first..."
After saying that, the girl hurriedly left with Liu Rumei on her arm;
As soon as the two left, Su Mo looked at Chu Han with a half-smile.
Chu Han looked inexplicably, "Is there something wrong?"
"It's okay, you look good in military uniform..."
The praised Chu Han grinned, put his arms around Su Mo's waist again, and whispered, "I think so too..."
Afterwards, Uncle Chu directly grabbed Su Han's left hand and sent it towards his chest!
Obviously, this is also learning from He Zian;
Unfortunately, Su Mo is not Liu Rumei.
Withdrawing his hand fiercely, Su Mo looked directly at Chu Han and said coldly, "Actor and actor, what do you think of me?"
After saying that, Su Mo took a step back, turned around and walked towards the main hall.
Looking at Su Mo's leaving back, Chu Han showed a trace of ignorance and hesitation on his face...
In the 10th district, both of them were lone rangers, and they rarely communicated with others.
Su Mo had an indifferent temperament and didn't like to be in contact with people. Coupled with Chu Han's reason, others dared not approach him at all.But the ghost face is not. It's not that the ghost face doesn't like it, but it can't.
Can't communicate with people, which sounds a lot like autism;
Su Mo is not sure if Ghost Face has autism, but it is safe for him to have mental problems and be very dangerous.Even though Ghost Face is one of the four demons, his sense of existence is the lowest among the four, and even many times, everyone will ignore his existence.
He likes to stay alone in the corner for a long time.The longest time, according to someone's statistics, the ghost face once squatted in the corner without eating, drinking or moving, for as long as 72 hours!
However, Ghost Face is very contradictory; he seldom speaks and prefers to be alone in a daze, but at certain times, he always hangs out in crowds.
What's even more strange is that even if he is in a crowd, others will still ignore him.
One of the most common sights in the 10th district is that a group of people are chatting happily, and suddenly a masked person is seen out of the corner of their eyes.First, he skipped over him and continued chatting, then suddenly came back to his senses, breaking out in a cold sweat...
Logically speaking, what qualifications does such a non-existent person have to be on an equal footing with Su Mo, Ke Lao, and Ryan Te?
Naturally, he is qualified, and the biggest qualification is - dancer Leant, who once suffered from Ghost Face!
There is no need to explain Leant's madness, but is it a simple person who can make him suffer?This is also the reason why Leant was very disgusted when he mentioned the ghost face.
The reason why Su Mo was afraid of him was probably because this guy was like a bomb just like Chu Han.It's just that Chu Han is an ignited bomb, and Ghost Mian is a time bomb.
Not to mention why the ghost face appeared in Chengdu, just after hanging up the Leant video call, Su Mo received another strange call...
In Ya'an City in autumn, the sun is rarely seen even in the daytime, and it gets dark around five o'clock in the afternoon.
There is a coffee shop on the fifteenth floor of a certain building. The coffee shop is quiet and elegant, with few customers.
Although the woman was swiping her mobile phone, her mind was obviously not here. She looked up from time to time, as if she was waiting for someone.
Seeing Su Mo appearing and walking towards her, the woman let out a long sigh of relief, and then gave an ugly smile, "I thought you wouldn't come."
Su Mo nodded indifferently, then sat opposite the woman;
"When we were young, we were in the front and back rows, and you were always silent. Even Wei Sihan, who had the best relationship with you, looked like a stranger."
The woman's eyes were confused, and she seemed to be caught in memories, "Because you don't fit in with others, everyone privately said that you were sick, and they always wanted to play some pranks to trick you."
Su Mo frowned, he didn't have that impression;
Seemingly seeing Su Mo's doubts, the woman smiled and said, "Of course you don't have the impression, that guy Wei Sihan helped you block it."
When he was in elementary school, Wei Sihan had always called himself Su Mo's 'bodyguard', and he seemed to be very competent.
"Su Mo, do you know that everyone is disgusted by your incompatibility...but at the same time, everyone envies you, including me."
"You are like a little adult every day. It seems that there are no difficulties in the world that can hinder you...Of course, it mainly refers to learning."
"In middle school, the gap between us became even bigger. At that time we realized that you were not out of the group, but disdain to talk to us, because you are a genius."
"Genius has its own halo. At that time, even if everyone wanted to get close to you, they would not dare..."
Su Mo frowned. He didn't understand why Mei Ling said this suddenly, and he wasn't interested in hearing what she said.
"What do you want to say?" Su Mo interrupted coldly.
"Still so indifferent!"
Mei Ling smiled wryly and said, "You have never attended a class reunion these years, but everyone has never forgotten you, and you are even talked about at every reunion... There is no way, you have too much halo."
There was a trace of sarcasm on the corner of Su Mo's mouth. Do you want to get closer through the so-called 'common memory'?
Mei Ling seems to be caught in the memory, the memory has its own filter, it is always so beautiful...
Mei Ling, who was caught in memories, had a happy smile on her lips, but soon the happiness disappeared and turned into fear and anxiety.
"Su Mo, do you know? I have forgotten a lot of things, and my memory is getting worse and worse! There are so many things, I tried my best, but I just can't remember them!"
"I... I don't want to die!"
In the end, Mei Ling collapsed.
No one dies, save some madmen;
"You are already dead."
The indifferent words brought Mei Ling back to reality, her face was full of resentment and resentment, "Why? Why did I die? I have never done anything harmful, why should I die?"
"I'm still young, I still have a lot of dreams, I...I want to live!"
Mei Ling stood up, grabbed Su Mo's left hand with both hands, and begged tearfully, "Su Mo, please! Please help me!"
Mei Ling didn't know where Su Mo got such a great ability, and how she discovered her abnormality, even He Bei who was 'lodging' on her body could scare away, but this was enough to make her regard Su Mo as a life-saving straw.
Not to mention whether Su Mo has the ability to revive her, even if there is, Su Mo will not save her.
"Tell me, how did you die. Also, why is she on your body." Withdrawing his hand, Su Mo's face was as calm as ever.
"Hehe, you haven't changed at all."
Mei Ling also regained her composure, "Same as before, cold and ruthless, arrogant and cruel. Do you know? You have always been like this since you were a child, and you will always look aloof, which is very annoying!"
Su Mo was noncommittal, because he never thought of being liked by others.
"I was very surprised when I saw you yesterday. You saw through the fact of my death at a glance, which frightened me even more." Picking up her coffee and taking a sip, Mei Ling said firmly, "You really are not a normal person!"
Changing from a living person to a ghost has subverted Mei Ling's values for more than 20 years.Having collapsed countless times, she didn't know how long it took her to adapt to the fact of her death.
Of course Su Mo would not explain to her, and asked again, "Where is He Bei? Where is it?"
This time, Mei Ling doesn't smell like He Bei, which is why the two of them can sit down and 'chat about life' calmly.
"It's hurt, so...you have a grudge against He Bei?" Mei Ling wondered, "She seems to hate you very much, and is also very afraid of you!"
"Tell me, what is your purpose for coming to me." He Bei was not around, and Su Mo was too lazy to argue with Mei Ling.
"I want to live!"
Su Mo frowned, but before he refused, Mei Ling continued, "I know you won't save me, but someone can... Su Mo, please leave! Don't meddle in this matter, okay?"
Su Mo didn't speak, but his silent attitude proved everything.
"You, don't force me!"
Mei Ling showed a grim expression on her face, "I know that I am not your opponent, and neither is He Bei, but it doesn't mean you can win! He Bei told me that your companions are also very powerful, but...someone is more powerful than you! "
Su Mo didn't speak, but stared at Mei Ling coldly.
Mei Ling broke down again, "It's true that I want to live, but I don't want to kill you just to 'resurrect' myself! Su Mo, please go, he..."
"Who is he?" Su Mo asked.
Mei Ling struggled, "Don't ask me, I don't know either!"
"Look at your appearance, are you not leaving?"
Su Mo was silent again.
"I see."
After struggling for a long time, Mei Lin gritted his teeth and said, "Stay away from He Zi'an!"
After all, get up and leave...
"Is He Zian?"
After Mei Ling left, Su Mo did not leave in a hurry, but fell into deep thought.
Fan Xingwei also mentioned He Zian, but he only told Su Mo that He Zian was abnormal, and Fan Xingwei didn't see what was wrong.
In fact, his and Fan Xingwei's goal tomorrow is He Zi'an.As for the opening of the coffin and autopsy, it was just an excuse.
Mei Ling finally warned him to stay away from He Zian. Whether she was out of the last little friendship with classmates or something else, at least it proved that He Zian did have a problem, and it might be dangerous!
Will He Zian be the one that Mei Ling said could 'resurrect' her?
'buzz~~'
The phone rang again, and the number showed Weisham;
"Where are you? Come back quickly, the new autopsy report is out!"
There was obvious eagerness and uneasiness in Wei Sihan's voice. Su Mo hung up the phone and returned to the hotel immediately...
Wei Sihan, who was lingering at the door, had been waiting impatiently. As soon as Su Mo opened the door, he couldn't wait to lock it, and said in a cold sweat, "Damn, what a hell!"
Wei Sihan took out the latest autopsy report from his pocket, which was also unstamped, but the meaning was very clear—He Wanli, died 60 years ago!
It was 30 years last time, but this time it turned into 60 years!
Corpse decay?
The autopsy report didn't say that;
So, what does the 60s represent?
Representing the real He Wanli, who died in his 20s!
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and Su Mo said coldly, "60 years ago, it was the time when He Wanzhou and He Bei died!"
"Hey, that's not the point, is it?" Wei Sihan was anxious, "I seriously suspect that this is a prank that you all conspired together to disgust me, right?"
mischief?
After something flashed through his mind, Su Mo hurriedly asked, "Did the same person make the autopsy report last time? Was it a mistake last time, or..."
"It's the same person."
Wei Sihan slumped on the sofa, rubbed his head hard, and said weakly, "His name is Meng Dongle, he is my college classmate... He told me very firmly that both reports were correct! Both were correct! Hehe, now not only I am going crazy, but he is going too."
Meng Dongle is a forensic major and has a good relationship with Wei Sihan, so he agreed to Wei Sihan's request to do an autopsy for He Wanli.However, the result of the identification shocked him very much.
During the first appraisal, Meng Dongle confirmed that he was not wrong, but this result was too unbelievable.Cautiously, he brought the collected 'specimen' back to the laboratory and made a second identification.As a result... the time of death turned out to be 60 years ago!
"There is nothing wrong in 30 years, and there is nothing wrong in 60 years. What does this mean?"
It means that He Wanli has been dead for 30 years and 60 years;
Indeed, he had died only three days ago.
Su Mo had a vague guess in his heart, but he was not sure, so he immediately said, "Find a way to find the family tree of the He family!"
Wei Sihan hesitated for a while, but agreed.
After sending Wei Sihan away, Su Mo thought about it, and told Fan Xingwei the news.
It wasn't that he had much trust in Fan Xingwei, but that he wanted Fan Xingwei to help him do one thing - visit the He family's old house again, and find a way to get the genetic slices of all the people in the He family, especially He Zi'an!
Su Mo originally wanted to complete this matter alone, but firstly, he is not familiar with the old house, and coupled with the heavy workload, it is very likely that he will not be able to handle it overnight; It's a powerful thing, but relying on his own words, it is very likely to scare the snake.
Su Mo is naturally not afraid, but it will not be worth the loss if it affects the visit tomorrow;
Fan Xingwei's reply was also very straightforward, and the two hit it off immediately and decided to visit the old house again at 2 o'clock in the morning.
When he was two hours old, Wei Sihan sent all the eighteen generations of the He family's ancestors to Su Mo's phone.Su Mo glanced roughly, and found that the earliest can be traced back to the end of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, the older the information, the less detailed, and even some names are ambiguous.And the clearest one is that during the period of the Republic of China, He Shaoquan abandoned his pen and joined the army.
Su Mo didn't care much about the history of the He family. After sending a copy of the existing personnel list to Fan Xingwei, Su Mo left the hotel quietly at 1 o'clock in the morning, not even disturbing Xiao Hu next door...
At two o'clock in the morning, Su Mo and Fan Xingwei arrived at their destination - the He family's old house.
The old house of the He family is located in the suburbs; because it was built in the Republic of China, its style is similar to the courtyard of the Qiao family in Qi County, Shanxi.Such an old house is considered a wonder in a modern city.
The old man of the He family passed away suddenly. In recent days, the old house has been full of people.However, it was still empty in the wee hours of the morning, as if all the enthusiasm disappeared in an instant.
Both Su Mo and Fan Xingwei's physical fitness has been strengthened by 'Dreamland Paradise', as long as they avoid the cameras, it is not difficult to sneak into this house that is almost full of dead ends.
Before they came, the two had set their own goals. After arriving at the old house, they sneaked into the house without even exchanging greetings...
Su Mo's target is He Wanli's eldest son, He Yanghui, and his eldest daughter, He Wan;
He Zian is the only son of He Yanghui. Although Mei Ling warned him not to get close to He Zian, Su Mo still decided to try to see what is so special about him.
The first to 'visit' was the eldest daughter He Wan's family;
The eldest daughter is five years older than the eldest son He Yanghui, and the whole family came to mourn this time.Including her husband, two sons and a daughter, and even the three-year-old grandson born to the eldest son.
He Wan is also in her 50s now, and has been married to the He family for more than 30 years.Su Mo didn't think that he could get any useful information from her. The reason why he came here was just in case.
Facts have proved that his caution is correct-at least he has gained a very valuable piece of news!
"He Wan, what on earth do you want to do? The old man just died!"
He Wan's husband, Feng Yongde, patted the table angrily, "We came back to fight for the family property, not tear down the table!"
"Hmph, I know better than you how much the He family has!"
He Wan sneered and said, "The old man is dead, what's the use of keeping the stage? Dismantle it early and save worry, so as not to..."
"Oh, I know you feel aggrieved."
Feng Yongde sighed deeply, hugged his wife and comforted him, "Why am I not? Liangliang is also my son!"
Speaking of Liangliang, He Wan, who seemed very tough, choked up.
"Liangliang was only five years old when he died! If he was still alive, he would definitely be more sensible and loving than Zian..."
Hearing He Zi'an's name, Feng Yongde said with a little dissatisfaction, "As an aunt, why do you love your nephew more than your son? Look at Zi'an's attitude towards you today. You have loved him for nothing all these years."
"Zian is the son of my own brother, why should I not feel pain?"
A flash of panic flashed in He Wan's eyes, and then she said angrily, "Also, why don't I love my son anymore? Didn't I bring up my son and daughter with my own hands? Did you take care of it?"
"Okay, okay, all the pain is fine! It's already two o'clock, let's go to bed quickly! Tomorrow, we're not talking about tearing down the table, okay?"
It wasn't until the two of them turned off the lights and went to sleep that Su Mo sneaked into the room and spent a few fantasy coins to collect He Wan's blood without the two of them knowing.
Compared with collecting blood, Su Mo cares more about the "stage" in He Wan's mouth.
With doubts in his heart, Su Mo collected the blood samples of all members of He Wan's family, including the three-year-old grandson, and rushed to the south courtyard where He Yanghui's family lived.
On the way, Su Mo kept thinking about He Wan's words.
He Wan mentioned the 'Liang Liang' Su Mo knew, he was He Wan's first son, but unfortunately died of illness when he was five years old.
Judging from He Wan's few words, Liangliang's death seems to be worth deliberating...
The reason why Su Mo cares about this is probably because Liangliang died not too long ago, exactly 30 years ago!
Is there some connection between Liangliang's death and He Wanli?
After seven turns and eight turns, Su Mo came to the courtyard where He Yanghui's family lived.
As soon as he entered the yard, there were bursts of voices that seemed to be absent, sad and angry;
The voice was extremely low, it sounded like she was singing, and it had a faintly dramatic accent.Looking along the source of the sound, Su Mo's eyes became sharp - that was He Zian's room;
Without further hesitation, Su Mo went straight to He Zian's room...
Surprisingly, Su Mo was in vain;
no one in the room;
Not only was there no one there, but even the vague moaning sound disappeared after approaching the room.
Compared with other people, He Zian's blood is the most important thing. If they don't get it tonight, their operation has already failed.
Frowning slightly, Su Mo searched He Zian's room carefully, but found nothing except a few hairs on the bed.
In the middle of the night, where will He Zian go?
Thinking of He Wan's words, Su Mo decided to go to the 'stage' in the backyard to have a look.
Although the He family is an old house, it was built in the Republic of China; Sichuan is not like the Forty-Nine City in the Republic of China, and dramas are not very popular. Why did He Shaoquan build a stage in the house?
Listening to what He Wan said, He Wanli seemed to be very concerned about this stage before he died.It's just that He Shaoquan likes to go to the theater, so does He Wanli like it?Why didn't He Zi'an allow it to be demolished?Just because of filial piety?
With these questions in mind, Su Mo sneaked into the backyard.
As soon as he arrived in the backyard, he felt a strange... No, it was a cold breath!
Su Mo is very familiar with this breath - He Bei.
After He Bei left Mei Ling, she escaped here!
Su Mo accidentally knew about ghosts, but he didn't think that everyone could become a ghost after death.If so, their world would have been messed up.
Did He Bei die miserably?
Maybe, but she didn't die unjustly, at least Su Mo thinks so;
It is rare for He Bei to turn into a ghost after death. After turning into a ghost, he can still stay in the "Yangjian" for more than 60 years without dying. How could there be no problem?
Because of "He Bei's resentment", Su Mo could detect obvious resentment from He Bei.It is also because of the existence of 'He Bei's resentment' that as long as He Bei appears, Su Mo can find her immediately.
For example, now, even if He Bei hides, Su Mo still knows that she is in the backyard;
"He Bei's Resentment" came from Su Mo killing her twice in a row in the script, but He Bei in the real world was killed by Tan Le.From Tan Le's diary, He Bei obviously abused this step-brother.Therefore, He Bei's death was not wronged, and there was no reason to turn into a ghost.
More importantly, He Bei's resentment was only directed at Su Mo.But from the perspective of "wraith", she is not a fierce ghost, nor is she very powerful. It is unbelievable that she can stay together for sixty years.
As for Mei Ling, it seems that some kind of deal has been reached with He Bei...
After scanning around casually, but not finding He Bei's "ghost", Su Mo ignored her and walked towards the stage in the deepest part of the backyard.
The closer he got to the stage, the more serious the expression on Su Mo's face was - the voice heard in He Zian's room appeared again.
This time Su Mo heard clearly that it was a drama, and it was Kunqu Opera!
Su Mo vaguely felt that the aria was selected from Tang Xianzu's "The Peony Pavilion", but he couldn't tell which passage it was.Because, the Kunqu opera that came from my ears only had background music, but no one sang it.
There were still a hundred steps away from the stage, but Su Mo stopped there;
He saw a fire;
Someone burned paper money on the table!
At this time, the one who burned the paper money was obviously He Wanli.But, who is so bold, dare to go to the deserted stage to pay homage in the middle of the night?
Su Mo really wanted to go deeper, but a voice deep in his heart told him that he couldn't go any further.
Even if you take a step forward, you will encounter danger!
woo woo woo... yay...
There was a faint sobbing sound coming from the ear, and matched with the sad Kunqu opera, there was a sense of lifeless loneliness.
She was obviously crying, but her crying sound was ups and downs, it seemed like she was singing and she was being coquettish.
Opening his left hand slightly, a small mahogany sword appeared in Su Mo's hand;
The moment the mahogany sword appeared, there was a gust of whirlwind around it, and the sobbing sound stopped abruptly!
Frowning, Su Mo put away the little sword;
After a while, the sound of 'whimpering' came again, and the open flame on the stage became brighter.At the same time, Su Mo smelled a faint smell of paper money.
Find a corner to hide, and a small sparrow appeared in Su Mo's hand;
The little sparrow was neither noisy nor noisy, and was very obedient. Su Mo gave an order, and the little sparrow flew towards the stage with its wings flashing...
At the same time, through the 'Witch's Crystal Ball', Su Mo finally saw clearly what was on the stage!
are 'things', not people;
Or rather, not a normal person—it was a paper doll.
The paper figurine is extremely realistic. His face is painted red and dark green, and his body is thickly colored. Under the bright firelight, he looks extremely charming;
However, Su Mo didn't feel scared.
Cherry mouth and apricot face, originally heavy makeup, but it can't hide the sorrow between the eyebrows;
The paper figurine is a man and an actor;
The paper figurine is burning paper;
It honors the dead;
Su Mo's first reaction was, aren't you afraid to set yourself on fire?
As if in response to this sentence, a gust of wind blew in, and a spark jumped onto the paper figurine.
The paper figurine screamed and got up hastily.
At this time, a man appeared beside him;
The man grabbed the paper figurine, and while knocking out the sparks, he said angrily, "Did you forget? You can't get close to the fire!"
He was obviously angry, but the man's voice was full of obvious affection and distress.
The paper figurine threw himself into the man's arms with a babble, and choked up, "It's all my fault, Wan Li didn't deserve to die."
"What are you talking about, sir, grandpa...Look, do my clothes look good?"
After finishing speaking, the man took a few steps back, then stood at attention and saluted, his brows were full of arrogance and complacency.
Through the sparrow, Su Mo could see clearly that the man was wearing an officer's uniform from the Republic of China period!
Armored and tall, heroic;
"Zian, you..."
The paper figurine groaned and threw itself into the man's arms again...
The man hugged the paper figurine tightly and kissed it affectionately;
"Sir, can you sing "The Peony Pavilion" for me again?"
"Father, I listen to you..."
The paper figurine stretched its hand into the man's chest, with a voice full of intimacy and coquettishness;
"Hahaha!!"
The man laughed wildly, then picked up the paper figurine and left the stage...
It wasn't until the man and the paper figurine walked away that Su Mo behind the crystal ball smiled coldly, "It's really a drama with deep affection!"
Su Mo didn't know what the hell the paper figurine was, but he remembered the man's name——He Zian.
No wonder I had to be in the room, but I came here!
Mei Ling didn't let him get close to He Zian, probably because of this paper figurine.At this moment, Su Mo can basically be sure that all the behind-the-scenes manipulators are inseparable from the paper figurine.Even the 'person' who promised Mei Ling's 'resurrection', nine out of ten it was it.
Su Mo didn't know who the paper figurine was, but he could clearly see the 'affection' of the paper figurine.
The deep affection for He Zi'an, the deep affection for He Wanli... Really fraternity.
I just wanted to take back the little sparrow and leave here, but I saw it through the sparrow Su Mo...
Get up and go to the stage;
In the corner of the stage, where He Zi'an and the paper figurine "you and me" unexpectedly had an extra piece of jade pendant.
Su Mo remembered this jade pendant—the paper figurine was hanging on his waist, the only thing that wasn’t paper;
Picking up the jade pendant, Su Mo played with it carefully, but didn't see anything unusual.
Even so, it was the paper figurine that fell, and Su Mo still decided to take it back and study it carefully.
However, just as he was about to leave, a female voice filled with eagerness and joy came from beside his ear!
"Ah! I found the jade pendant!"
Su Mo was taken aback for a moment, turned around suddenly, and then...
The surrounding scene changed drastically, and he came to a courtyard full of messy theater troupe belongings... and the person who made the sound was a little girl wearing the costume of the Republic of China.
"Master, the jade pendant in your hand was dropped by my husband, can you return it to me?"
The girl's voice was filled with apprehension and anticipation. Su Mo remained calm and asked coldly, "Oh? Who is your husband?"
"Oh, the young master came to listen to the play, how come you don't even know the name of the gentleman!"
The girl chuckled, and then said, "My husband is a well-known master of Kunqu opera in Sijiu City, Mr. Liu Rumei Liu!"
Four Nine Cities is naturally Beijing, but this name is rarely used now, let alone ordinary people.
And now that Su Mo is in Sichuan, how could he return to Beijing in the blink of an eye?
So, this is an illusion;
The name Sijiucheng was mostly used in the period of the Republic of China. Coupled with the girl's attire, it reminded him of the He family tree, so Su Mo could basically determine how many years it was in the Republic of China.
"If we talk about opera, I am the only one in Peking Opera in Forty-Nine City, so why are there so many masters of Kunqu Opera?" Su Mo's tone was obviously sarcasm, and even his expression was full of sarcasm.
Choked by Su Mo, the girl's cheeks flushed red.
She stopped looking at Su Mo, and instead turned behind him and said angrily, "Master, if your brother hears this, he will lose his head!"
Army Lord?younger brother?
What the hell?
Su Mo turned his head abruptly, and then was stunned on the spot;
he saw a man;
That person is none other than Chu Han;
Since it is an illusion, it is reasonable for Chu Han to run out, the key is Chu Han's attire...
Military uniforms, leather boots, belts...
It's like a copy of He Zi'an's outfit!
He was also full of energy, but compared to He Zian's heroic figure, Chu Han, who was dressed in military uniform, had a ruffian air about him.
He Zi'an wore his military uniform very neatly, every button was very strict.Chu Han was different. It would not be dignified to loosen even one button from his collar, but he undid two of them.
At this moment, Chu Han's honey-coloured collarbone loomed, coupled with the half-loose belt around his waist, and the wicked smile that never faded from the corner of his mouth...the whole person exuded a certain indescribable evil spirit and abstinence.
Really...
Su Mo is fine, the little girl next to her is already staring and drooling.
Seeing Su Mo staring at him stupidly without speaking, Chu Han put his arms around his waist, grinned and said, "How about it, how about my outfit?"
Su Mo hadn't spoken yet, but the little girl beside her said with spring in her eyes, "You're so handsome! Jun Ye, you are... a good-looking talent!"
The girl's praise was very helpful to Chu Han, but he still hugged Su Mo tightly, obviously waiting for his evaluation.
Su Mo pursed his lips and spit out two words silently...
"soldier of fortune!"
Chu Han was satisfied, but still did not let go.
"That...Master Jun, can you ask your younger brother to return the jade pendant to my husband?"
The girl finally stopped being a nymphomaniac, and said anxiously, "The jade pendant is not worth much, but it is very important to my husband!"
Chu Han didn't care about the jade pendant or not, but Su Mo said, "Yes, but I have to give it to Mr. Liu myself."
The girl secretly glanced at Chu Han, "Okay then, I'll take you there. But, young master, your outfit is really strange!"
Su Mo is wearing modern clothes, which is of course strange in the Republic of China.
Since Chu Han can change disguises, he might as well...
As soon as I thought of this, my clothes changed, and I looked like a young master of the Republic of China.
The girl smiled happily, "It's much more comfortable this way! Young Master, you and your brother really look alike and are equally handsome!"
After speaking, the girl stuck out her tongue and ran towards the back hall with cheerful steps.
Su Mo put aside Chu Han's restraint, and followed closely...
When Su Mo and Chu Han entered the back hall, the sad Mr. Liu was stamping his feet back and forth anxiously.
"Sir, the jade pendant has been found!"
"really?"
Mr. Liu hurried over, and when he saw Su Mo and the two of them, he was taken aback.
The corner of Su Mo's mouth curled up. Isn't this Mr. Liu the same paper figurine from before?
"Two..."
Su Mo showed a kind smile on his face, and handed the jade pendant to Liu Rumei, "Since this thing is so important to Mr., I must treasure it carefully in the future, and don't lose it again."
"Ah, thank you son!"
Liu Rumei took the jade pendant thankfully, and then couldn't help but glance at Chu Han behind Su Mo, his eyes flashed with obvious amazement.
"This military master..."
"Call Grandpa!"
Chu Han never pretends to anyone other than Su Mo;
No matter whether it is the uncle or the military master, there is no embarrassment for Liu Rumei and other actors.
But seeing Liu Rumei leaning towards Chu Han slightly, she said with a slight smile, "Thank you two for finding the jade pendant for Rumei, as a way of expressing my gratitude, after tonight's performance, how about Rumei treating you to tea?"
Su Mo naturally agreed, but Chu Han, who was always surly, did not object.
Seeing that Liu Rumei was about to say goodbye and leave, Su Mo suddenly said, "Mr. Liu, this jade pendant looks familiar to me... It seems that I have seen it at He Shaoquan's place."
The reason why they called He Shaoquan directly was that apart from not knowing He Shaoquan's military position, they could also warn Liu Rumei that they were not afraid of He Shaoquan.
Sure enough, when she heard the word 'He Shaoquan', Liu Rumei's expression changed instantly.If it wasn't for the girl beside him who helped him in time, Bao Buqi would have collapsed to the ground in fright.
"Young...Master, don't talk nonsense, this jade pendant is from Rumei's ancestors, and has nothing to do with He Fu!"
"Yes Yes!"
The girl was even more anxious, "Sir and Deputy He absolutely have no personal affair, young master...and military master, you must not tell the commander in chief!"
Su Mo remained silent, and Chu Han was even more malicious;
Seeing this, Liu Rumei, who was pale and sweating, fell to her knees with a plop, and said in a sad voice, "Rumei swears that I have no selfish relationship with Fu Fu! This jade pendant... this jade pendant was picked up by Rumei by accident, and she didn't know It belongs to He Fu!"
It was said before that it was passed down from the ancestors, and it will soon become picked up. It's really interesting...
Liu Rumei hurriedly handed the jade pendant back to Su Mo, and begged, "Since the young master knows that the jade pendant belongs to Deputy He, why don't you return it to the original owner on Rumei's behalf! It's just that Rumei has something to ask, so don't let it out. Otherwise, Rumei will die without a place to bury her!"
The status of actors in the Republic of China was humble, even inferior to prostitutes, even the so-called "everyone".
He himself knew that Liu Rumei's resignation was full of loopholes. The reason why he handed over the jade pendant to Su Mo was more of an acceptance of fate—leave the handle in his hands, and let Su Mo control his wealth and life.
"Mr. Liu, don't worry, brother... and I won't say anything." Su Mo glanced at Chu Han and smiled softly.
"Then, that Rumei will leave first..."
After saying that, the girl hurriedly left with Liu Rumei on her arm;
As soon as the two left, Su Mo looked at Chu Han with a half-smile.
Chu Han looked inexplicably, "Is there something wrong?"
"It's okay, you look good in military uniform..."
The praised Chu Han grinned, put his arms around Su Mo's waist again, and whispered, "I think so too..."
Afterwards, Uncle Chu directly grabbed Su Han's left hand and sent it towards his chest!
Obviously, this is also learning from He Zian;
Unfortunately, Su Mo is not Liu Rumei.
Withdrawing his hand fiercely, Su Mo looked directly at Chu Han and said coldly, "Actor and actor, what do you think of me?"
After saying that, Su Mo took a step back, turned around and walked towards the main hall.
Looking at Su Mo's leaving back, Chu Han showed a trace of ignorance and hesitation on his face...
