Text XIV. Between the virtual and the real
On the next road, Ren Kai answered countless phone calls, some secretly gave favors, some hid their heads and tails to explore the wind, some were dignified and upright, and of course, there were hippie smiling faces falling into the well, these calls invariably only mentioned Pi Yuanshan, avoiding talking about Yu Donglai, which is very intriguing.
However, the phone call he had been waiting for did not come, the call of Lao Yu's wife Tian Yu. Tian Yu is the deputy director of the finance department of Longcheng University, and she is very high, she only sees Adam Smith, Keynes and other ancient people, and has always been dismissive of those who are still alive. There was a joke in the finance department, a colleague told her about Stephen Chow, and she asked the person which department Stephen Chow belonged to.
But I always value this wife who lives in another world. For this reason, he took time out of his busy schedule to practice German and said that he wanted to perform "Faust". Seeing that these two people were so sunny and snowy, the friends began to gradually distance themselves, and they generally didn't bother them later. It is really lacking the most basic communication foundation, and you are reluctant to mix together, you are uncomfortable, and I am also guilty.
After Lao Yu semi-retired, the two were even more like fish in water, often engaging in some inexplicable parties. Ren Kai went a few times and didn't dare to go again. It's scary. For this reason, Tian Yu did not have a good impression of him, saying that he couldn't stick a knife in his friend's ribs.
If something happened to Lao Yu, it was common sense that she should be the first to call. Ren Kai thought for a while and made a phone call to a professor in the law department of Longcheng University. This professor's surname is Cui, he is not blind to this surname, there is no one in the whole school that he doesn't know, and there is nothing he can't do.
Three years ago, Tian Yu didn't know what to smoke and began to prepare for Mozart's "The Magic Flute", which is actually quite expensive, but how can she, a non-sticky outsider, understand this, so people take advantage of the loopholes. Someone gave her 300,000 yuan in the name of sponsorship, but the money did not go through any formalities, nor did it go to the public account, but directly gave cash. Others reminded her a few times, but she didn't care.
Money is a good thing when nothing happens. Once something happens, it's a murderous steel knife. Someone reported it to the school for discipline inspection, and the matter couldn't be covered. In the end, Lao Yu came forward, so he didn't do it.
Originally, this matter had been dealt with safely, and besides, it had been so long. However, recently someone was staring at Lao Yu, and this matter came out. Properly accepted bribes, this hat was buttoned up, not only Tian Yu, but also the people who participated in the handling of the school at that time, one of them was counted as one, and they were all taken away for questioning.
Ren Kai pondered, this matter was too coincidental. It seems that Lao Yu has an accident and seems to have been implicated by his wife. But the timing of this accident was not right, it was too coincidental.
Li Yanan looked at the two people in the front row, slowly approached the man's side, took the man's wrist with his hand and put it on his lap, and untied the handkerchief.
Ren Kai was stunned, and struggled unnaturally. The girl's eyes were slightly red, and she clung to it. He's not good at deadlifting.
The tooth marks on the hand are like small flowers in full bloom, and there is a bright red cinnabar mole in the middle of the small flower. The girl stroked the man's hand with her hand, and tears fell down her eyes and dripped on the flower.
The man was a little embarrassed and looked at the front row. The two girls in the front row met and laughed together.
Li Yanan ignored them and said softly, "According to legend since ancient times, after a person dies, he walks through the ghost gate and goes on the Huangquan Road. Meng Po drank a bowl of soup on the bridge for everyone who passed by, and whenever she drank the soup, she would forget all kinds of previous lives and enter the six realms of reincarnation without worry, either as a human being or as an animal. Li Yanan's voice was low, and he paused to continue, "But there are some idiots who would rather suffer than drink this soup, and Meng Po has no choice but to promise them and leave a mark on them, but such people must jump into the Lechuan River and wait for a thousand years to be reincarnated." After these people are reincarnated, they will carry the memories of their past lives, and they will carry the mole to find the bonds of their past lives. β
When the girls in the front row heard half of it, they couldn't laugh out loud, and they all felt sorry for them.
Li Yanan looked at the man with teary eyes and said, "I know that you have found your past life, but I still don't give up, and now I have left this mark on your hand, I only hope that if there is really an afterlife, I can find you." "I can't stop crying before I finish speaking.
Ren Kai looked at the girl and didn't dare to blink. His mouth moved, but he didn't say a word. The heartfelt thoughts just now turned into a long sigh.
In commemoration of the 10th Panchen Lama's prayer and blessing place, Wattetalin is composed of 108 white pagodas in Tallinn and its surroundings.
The three girls didn't come down, and the five men slowly circled around Tallinn. In the innermost part of Tallinn, there is a prayer turning room, which is full of prayer wheels, densely packed, large and small, about a thousand.
The prayer flags are criss-crossed in different sizes, and the old and the new are layered on top of each other. The breeze is blowing in the sky. Followers of Tibetan Buddhism believe that every time the prayer flag flutters, it is a recitation, which is to convey people's wishes to the gods and ask for God's protection. The presence of prayer flags means the presence of the gods, which means the prayers of the believers. Therefore, any hanging prayer flags cannot be artificially removed and cleaned up, but can only be left to the wind and sun, and slowly weathered.
Ren Kai was alone, leaning against a white pagoda with his shoulders on his shoulders, looking at a few Tibetans not far away making sacrifices, with a focused expression and a pious attitude.
Grandma Liu approached, looked at him for a while, and said, "What are you waiting for?
He didn't look back, but his eyes narrowed, and he said, "Why do you ask?"
Grandma Liu stared at him and smiled, and asked rhetorically, "Have you ever thought that the person or thing you are waiting for will not appear?"
Ren Kai turned around, looked at this old friend who had known him for nearly forty years, smiled, and said, "We will disperse the day after tomorrow, why don't you wait for two more days?"
Grandma Liu smiled and nodded, took two steps forward and stood side by side with him, turned her head to look at the Tibetans who were making sacrifices, muttered slightly, and said, "Half an hour ago, Zhang Heng was controlled on the China-Myanmar border. The battle around the periphery of Jingrui Group can basically come to an end. Your role doesn't matter. β
Ren Kai smiled and didn't make a sound.
"Now it seems that you have been acting all along, trying to stick our eyes to you. In order to play this role well, we did not hesitate to bring the Hou family, the Tong family, and some people in Longcheng into our field of vision, let us stretch the battle line and disperse the case-handling forces, to be honest, you did this and caused us a lot of trouble. Liu Xiaojun turned his head to look at Fa Xiao next to him, and then turned his head to look at the prayer flags flying in the wind in the distance, and said, "After more than 30 years, I originally thought that I knew you very well. Through getting along in the past few days, I realized that I was childish and ridiculous. Ren barrister, one trick to hide from the world, the case-handling personnel of the three provinces are played by you. Admire. β
Ren Kai looked at him with strange eyes, and said with a smile, "I don't even know what you're talking about?" Director Liu. β
Liu Xiaojun chuckled, shook his head and said, "At the group cooperation discussion, Tong Jingsheng repeatedly emphasized your cunning, I thought I had taken you seriously, but I didn't expect to despise you in the end." When did you find me?"
Ren Kai looked at him, was silent for a while, and then sighed and said, "It's just to cover your ears and steal the bell, last month, the secretary of your system took up the third command of the new supervision system, as his proud protΓ©gΓ©, it is not surprising that you entered Beijing with you." After speaking, he said with a slight sneer, "It's just that I didn't expect someone to value me so much, and several departments jointly handled the case." Hehe, Tong Jingsheng is in the light, you are in the dark, plus Zhao Meimei and Er Guodong as a cover. Xiao Chai probably never dreamed that he had no intention of organizing a party, except for him, everyone had ghosts. β
Liu Xiaojun stared into the distance and was silent.
"Er Guodong asked you to grasp the shortcomings, and if you don't help him, it's just that, and you coerce him to do this. Grandma Liu, do you really think that if you climb up, you will be able to stand with Tong Jingsheng?What is his background, what is your background?" Ren Kai said, his emotions obviously uncontrollable.
"Hehe, yes, how can I be a poor child who graduated from a technical school, in your eyes?" Liu Xiaojun looked gloomy and said lightly.
Ren Kai was furious, his brain was hot, he didn't care about it, he stepped forward and grabbed his collar, stared at him and scolded, "Do you know what you're talking about? Are you stupid to be an official? Do you know, what will happen if Xiao Chai knows?"
Liu Xiaojun was also angry, grabbed Ren Kai's hand and broke it away, and whispered viciously, "Do you know what you are doing? How many people have Jingrui killed over the years? Zhang Jingrui's crimes are monstrous, and it is difficult to write about them." You are still clinging to your own so-called morality, aiding and abetting abuse. Don't you have nightmares when you close your eyes at night?"
"Don't do that. Let go. Er Guodong walked out from behind the tower and hurriedly pulled the two away. Not far away, the Tibetans who were painting the offerings looked at the three of them in amazement.
Ren Kai looked at Grandma Liu and Er Guodong, let go of his hand and turned his head to leave, turning back to Grandma Liu as he walked, "You'd better hide your hands and feet, if you let Xiaochai know, see how I clean you up." β
Watching Ren Kai go away, Liu Xiaojun and Er Guodong were speechless and stood for a long time.
"Well, how did it happen. I wanted to talk about it. Liu Xiaojun sighed.
"Brother Xiaojun, I see that Brother Ren has some misunderstandings, why don't you explain?" Er Guodong said in a low voice.
Liu Xiaojun thought for a while and said, "No need, let's hide it first, and we should have lost money." It also made the family arrest the current on the spot. It's useless to say anything. He's all to blame for that Tong Jingsheng, comparing himself to Kong Ming, in fact, he is a Jiang Gan, with great ambitions and talents. I'm also soft-eared and listen to his. It's harder to convince Ren Kai now. And, like he said, don't let your brother know. After speaking, he looked at the Tibetans not far away, turned around and walked away quickly, the official authority loomed, and he no longer looked like the easy-going Grandma Liu before. Er Guodong bowed his head and followed, following in unison.
Ren Kai slowly walked to the Wrangler, and saw that only Zhao Meimei was leaning on the front of the car and looking in the direction of Tallinn, but the other two girls were not there.
"Look at your angry look, say it?" Zhao Meimei rolled her eyes and said with a smile.
"You can only see the outside of Tallinn here, not the inside. It was a total of 2,862 steps from the place where we were arguing to get here. My anger was no longer visible at a thousand paces. Why don't you tell me, how did you conclude that we were talking?" Ren Kai looked at her with slanted eyes, and then said, "I'm not in a good mood today, I hope you can stay away from me." Thank you. After saying that, he opened the car door and curled up in the back seat.
Zhao Meimei sneered, her eyes crossed the unclosed car door, and landed on the man's curled body, a red cloud appeared on her face, bright red like blood, delicate.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the two cars arrived at Tangke.
Tonk was building roads, and there was mud and ditches everywhere. I finally got around, and it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon when I arrived at the viewing platform of the first bay of Jiuqu of the Yellow River.
On the tops of several rolling hills, the meandering artificial observation deck is like a picture frame, capturing the beautiful scenery between heaven and earth. Several people climbed the ladder and arrived at the observation deck in a short time.
At this time, the Yellow River is not unruly, looking at it from afar, a bay of gentle clear water, passing through the vast sea of grass, cattle and sheep strolling leisurely by the river, no different from many rivers originating from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the water flow here is clear and slow, it is the most beautiful bend in the 99 bends of the Yellow River.
Ren Kai overlooks the Yellow River, the beautiful scenery is current, but the mood is not good. Thinking about the friends around me going away one after another, it is inevitable that I will be unhappy.
"If you don't reach the Yellow River, you won't die. Barrister Ren, your Bole Zhang Heng has been controlled, and Jingrui has nothing to do with you since then, I can't understand, what are you waiting for, or what are you still holding on?" Zhao Meimei stood still behind Ren Kai, blew in his ear, and said in a Qiao voice.
Ren Kai turned his head to look around and found that everyone was walking along the observation deck into the distance. It's just me and the girl.
So, looking at the girl, she smiled and said, "Everything has a way, like a dream bubble." What the eyes see must be real? Zhang Heng was arrested? Let's make a bet that this Zhang Heng is arrested, who loses, and who answers the other party's question. How?"
The girl was stunned, raised her little finger and brushed the emanation in her ear, and smiled, "Okay, it's just that the stakes are a little small." It's better to play bigger. Whoever loses, promise the other party a request. β
Ren Kai looked the girl up and down quietly, and said with a faint smile, "Girl, don't make this kind of bet easily, otherwise, it will be easy to suffer." With that, he walked around the girl.
Zhao Meimei bit her lip, smiled lightly, and shouted at the man's back, "Just when you agree." β
The man continued walking, without saying a word or looking back, still carrying the girl on his back, raising his right hand and shaking it. The afterglow of the setting sun stretched his figure to the old man, who seemed extremely lonely and lonely.
The way down the mountain is especially easy for others. It was much more difficult for Ren Kai. He was afraid of heights.
From the top of the hill, the stairs are paved to the end. Ren Kai's face turned pale, he hugged the handrail with his hand, half-squinted his eyes, and walked down cautiously.
"It's easy to go up the mountain and hard to go down, brother, do you want to help me?" said Grandma Liu as she passed by him.
"Huh. Ren Kai smiled and shook his head, he was speechless. Several times, his legs were shaking so much that he almost slipped down.
When I was halfway there, I couldn't hold on, so I sat on the steps and pretended to look at the scenery outside.
"Oops, I'm tired. They run so fast that they are not afraid of falling to their deaths. Li Yanan also sat down against him and handed him the kettle in his hand.
People are most likely to be thirsty when they are nervous. His kettle was already empty, and he didn't care about anything else, so he took the girl's kettle with trembling hands, hurriedly took a sip of water, and then licked his lips and thanked him.
Just like that, I stopped and stopped, and I was accompanied by a girl, and finally came to the bottom of the mountain. Looking up at the ladder-like road, I really doubt that I have walked up and down.
Not far away, a Tibetan grandmother kept grinding a piece of leather with a wooden stick, looking focused, not paying any attention to other things around her.
Uncle Li has a saying, "What is not moved by external objects is quiet, and what is not real by external objects is empty." "The Tao is full of movement and stillness, fiction and reality.
Ren Kai thought about the words that Grandma Liu scolded him when she was angry, thought about the oath that Zhao Meimei made with tears on the night of the full moon, and thought about what Zhang Heng and Zhang Jingrui did, and felt at a loss for the first time, and didn't know what to do.
