Chapter 434: Let's Tell Us About the Past Six Hundred Years Ago!
Zuo Ci's face was light and breezy, and he was not surprised that Ruolan knew such secrets, and continued to talk eloquently, "That's different, what Zuo someone knows is that it was stuffed in the mouth when the person was buried, and the dead blood was soaked into the jade heart, and when it was unearthed, it was swallowed by the skeleton, which was more than a hundred and ten times more expensive than Mojing." Some people say that this jade contains the spirit of the deceased before his death and can bring the dead back to life, but the specific method is not yet available - or rather, Zuo has not seen it. β
Ruolan's face changed slightly, "...... It's a big night, how do you talk about scaring things!" The young woman's face turned even paler, and she deliberately hated Zuo Ci, her expression was still exaggerated and unnatural.
"How old are you this year?" Zuo Ci sipped slowly, blowing on tea.
"Twenty-eighth. Ruolan argued, "Then you shouldn't tell me ghost stories." β
"Sixty. Zuo Ci smiled and put down the teacup.
ββ¦β¦ What sixty?" Ruolan was stunned.
"Could it be that someone on the left said it was less?"
"Inspector Zuo thinks I'm old?" Ruolan frowned slightly.
"Where, you're too young. β
Zuo Ci smiled, shook his neck from side to side, clicked, and was strange in the night, only to see him loosen the knot of his tie slightly, and a shocking old wound was revealed behind the white collar of his shirt - although he couldn't see it behind, it was not difficult to infer that it had spread, as if the head had been cut off completely by a blunt axe and sewn back with thick needles and threads. Ruolan naturally saw it and let out a soft exclamation.
"Mr. Zuo's woundβwhat's going on?"
"You're too young. Zuo Xuan waved his hand and repeated with a smile, "Although it has been sixty years, it has been six hundred years, but it is still too young to experience that era, so it's no wonder that you don't recognize it." Tell me, how did you die?"
"Left, Mr. Zuo, don't make fun of me......"
Zuo Ci slowly tied his tie back, and said leisurely: "Six hundred years, I have still cultivated a lot of things, at least this disguise technique is very clever, I can't tell if you are the man with the hammer, or the young woman in front of you?"
Ruolan's body stiffened, "Sir, this joke is a little too much." β
Zuo Ci smiled slightly, "If you go to Hollywood, you can definitely compete for the Academy Awards." β
"What?"
Zuo Ci found that he had said a cross-era topic, and hurriedly pulled it back, "Fan Laosan is indeed Fan Laosan, he is the owner of Zhuoyu Shop, yes, but he is not your father at all." And you should not have a surname. β
Zuo Ci crossed his fingers on the table, and looked at Ruolan with the eyes of an interrogator, "Fan Laosan's real identity is your husband, and you, I guess not human." β
"I ......"
"I guess you've seen a person surnamed Liu, maybe he calls himself something else, but that figure and appearance must be the most memorable person you've ever seen in your life. β
Ruolan finally couldn't laugh anymore, and the look on her face fell, her face lost the vitality of her disguise, and looked gray and dull, so that her whole face showed a strange waxy color, and her speech became soft.
"You...... Have you seen him too?"
Zuo Ci smiled, "I haven't just seen him, I've also dealt with him, counting, I and him are also old acquaintances, but this is another matter, he is no longer here now, let's not talk about others behind our backs, let's talk about the current matter, Fan Laosan's ghostly appearance, that jade shop, and this...... Zuo
People are still more interested in this matter. β
Zuo Ci said, took out the jade card in his arms, and gently placed it on the table, which was filled with gray mist.
"That's right, he does call himself Mr. Liu, and it's a coincidence that I met him. β
Ruolan was silent for a moment before resuming the narrative.
"That was many years ago, and it was also a troubled time similar to now, the alien race ravaged the Central Plains, the world was swaying, you know? At that time, we had a jade shop, which was honestly operated, and could survive in the troubled times, but this person, always had a lack of heart, always thought that he could make a big profit in the troubled times, and thought that he could make a big deal in the troubled times, and he naturally wanted to bet on a stone, waiting to become jade, but unfortunately the heart was thinner than the sky and the life was thinner than the paper, and the jade shop gambled on several batches of stones one after another, and the turnover could not be opened, and our family was almost empty. There was no money to spare, and the creditor came to the door, so he had to close the shop to hide his debts. Mr. Liu, who was the one who picked up the jade shop, said that he was planning to change a medical hall. β
Zuo Ci listened quietly, and he found that Ruolan was completely reluctant to mention her husband, and she didn't even want to mention the pronoun "he", which showed the resistance in her heart.
"Do you know it's a medical center, not a pawnshop, or a nearby shop?"
"It's a medical center. Ruolan nodded, and added, "He's a very good person." β
"I've probably guessed most of the time when you say that. Zuo Ci said with a smile.
"Mr. Liu is really a celestial person, the first time I saw him, I couldn't believe that there was such a person, whether it was character or appearance. β
Ruolan laughed and repeated, "But he is indeed a very good person. β
"It seems that you have a different kind of affection for him, even if you were Fan Laosan's wife at that time. β
"Everyone has a love for beauty, how can Mr. Zuo say it like eating flying vinegar?" Ruolan chuckled, turned the bracelet on her wrist, smiled and smiled, her eyelashes drooped, the smile on the corner of her lips did not fade, and the smile was natural, "Where did you start talking about this." β
"Written on the face. β
Zuo Ci said, "Don't you think it's inappropriate? Looking at Fan Laosan's current situation, maybe Fan Laosan treats you badly, and you are tired of him-"
"Do you think it's me and Mr. Liu?" Ruolan's voice was a little annoyed, interrupting Zuo Ci's question.
Zuo Ci smiled, "After all, nearly six hundred years have passed, who knows what your state of mind is at this time and you at that time?"
"You want to ask me about my relationship with Fan Laosan, I have been Fan Laosan's child daughter-in-law since I was a child, and I have known it since I can remember. β
Ruolan stopped arguing and continued, "Do you know? He was really called Fan Laosan, and at that time, the Han people couldn't name names, they could only use numbers...... Speaking of a long way, I was bought by his family, and the people around me told me from the time I was sensible that I would be his person in the future, and I had nothing to be dissatisfied with, anyway, it was like that, I was caught off guard that day, it seemed that I was thirteen years old, and I was asked by him...... It hurts, but it's happy, although he didn't know anything for a while, and he didn't take care of the shop, I just slowly learned everything at that time and gave him a housekeeper.
He's always liked me, and I think he's like me...... We had a great time with his first child at the age of sixteen, and then he changed. β
Ruolan stopped talking, and she didn't smile anymore, but the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, as if she was enduring something.
Seeing this, Zuo Ci did not urge, and there was no compassion on his face, just waited silently.
The night breeze outside the house
Wailing mournfully, the shadows of the trees swaying tirelessly, as if they were written on the window paper, but there was no trace left at all.
"He hit me. β
Ruolan only said these three words for a long time.
"You said you had a child. β
Zuo Ci interjected a sentence, although the tone was gentle, but there was no sense of comfort, and it was even cold-blooded to the point of showing no mercy.
"I have three children. Ruolan corrected.
"Not around?"
"Dead. Ruolan replied briefly.
Zuo Ci waited for a while, and when he saw that Ruolan really didn't answer, he continued to ask: "Does it have anything to do with Fan Laosan?"
"The first girl was born and then disappeared. β
Ruolan suddenly became calm, but her eyes were a little empty, "Fan Laosan said that the child was not his, it couldn't be his, he was taken away soon after birth, and he disappeared from sight, and then I asked him repeatedly, making trouble with life and death, and he said that he let the dog take it away, and said that the nurse lost it, and I asked again and again to know that he sold my daughter."
At that time, he lost a lot of money in the gambling stone, so he sold my child to a jade merchant, which was my first child.
When my second child was seven months old, he found a fortune teller, who said it was a girl, and he wouldn't let me give birth.
He was silent that day, and the silence scared me...... I begged him, I want to give birth to a child, I want to be a mother.
He lost his temper later, swept all the bracelets I had rubbed on the table, and asked me to pick up the pieces......
His eyes were blood-red and scary, I don't know why I felt so, I felt like he wanted to kill me...... When I looked back, I saw that he was rubbing the jade carved awl repeatedly, and I didn't dare to speak.
My child is gone.
He hit me, kicked me in the stomach, he said I deserved it, but he seemed happy when he saw the blood, and then he laughed...... He hugged me again and apologized to me. He said that he was not good, and he found me the best doctor. β
