Gu Changsheng came back ten days later, Bai Qiushui gathered a group of officials and aunts to play mahjong, it was in the afternoon, several of them sat at the mahjong table and rubbed mahjong, the women sat around and chattered, the sound of mahjong cards colliding was sparse, a woman brought tea and snacks into it, the cards inside were playing up, the seventh aunt of the whole division was too good at mahjong, she had won five games, the deck of cards unfolded, she said: "Eh, I'm really sorry, I don't know what luck I took today." Bai Qiushui said to his other sisters: "Sisters, let me tell you, if she wins this game again, she has to be treated tonight!" The fourth aunt of Fengfu said: "You said it, this time I don't want to release water." ”

Chatting happily, Gu Changsheng got out of the car and walked into the hall, he unloaded his gun and was taking off his uniform, listening to the noise in the living room, so he asked the woman, the woman answered him, Gu Changsheng changed his shoes and walked in to watch the women play cards. The seventh aunt was too proud, thinking that this game was also won, but who knew that Gu Changsheng walked behind Bai Qiushui, Bai Qiushui hesitated which card to play, and rubbed his two fingers on the mahjong cards, but Gu Changsheng played a card for her, Bai Qiushui squinted at him and said, "Don't trouble me." Gu Changsheng lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "I'm teaching you, I used to say that I want to teach you to play cards, you don't, look at you lose so badly, you lose hundreds of yuan a day." He pinched her cheek as he spoke. Bai Qiushui couldn't help but smile and didn't overdo it, and only said, "It turns out that you care that I lose your money." ”

The sixth aunt couldn't help but joke when she saw that the two of them were so intimate and affectionate: "Gu Dashuai really loves his own woman, just look at our Qiushui sister's face that can pinch out the water all day long." ”

Aunt Seventh echoed with a smile while playing a card: "Yes, seeing Qiushui hanging Gu Dashuai's name on his lips all day long, you know that your husband and wife have a good relationship——"

As soon as Aunt Seven's card came out, Gu Changsheng hurriedly spread Qiushui's deck of cards on the table, patted the back of the chair, and Bai Qiushui immediately stood up and said angrily: "You're going to be angry with me-" Gu Changsheng didn't know what he had done wrong, and Bai Qiushui hit him with both hands on his chest.

The fourth aunt of Fengfu said: "Gu Dashuai doesn't know, who wins our game tonight." Before you came, it was always Aunt Quan who won several times in a row, and the three of us were thinking about Aunt Seventh being a treat just now, so I wanted you to be so involved, this time I had a treat in Qiushui. ”

Gu Changsheng didn't know how they played. The three women took out a hundred yuan, and only Bai Qiushui muttered in his mouth: "I lost all the day today, and I lost another meal in the evening." After speaking, he glanced at Gu Changsheng sadly.

Gu Changsheng couldn't do it, so he only apologized: "Okay, okay, it's not mine, I paid for your dinner at night." ”

Aunt Seven laughed out loud without taking half a sip of tea, and only said: "Whether you treat or Qiushui, it's not all the same." ”

Gu Changsheng shook the back of his head and said, "What should I do then?" This was said to Bai Qiushui, Bai Qiushui found the right time to put forward the condition: "Today you asked me to pay a sum of money, I can remember, you have to promise me one thing." ”

This is not simple, Gu Changsheng only said: "Cheng, you can do whatever you want me to do." ”

Bai Qiushui was relieved at this time, and just as the two of them were flirting, the other three put on their coats and interrupted them and said, "You two are almost there, let's talk about where to treat tonight." ”

This meal was eaten in Jufu Building, because he heard from the guards at home that Bai Qiushui went out a few days ago and met hooligans, Gu Changsheng chartered the second floor and sent a team of guards to guard outside the building. Seeing that Gu Dashuai was so attentive to Qiushui, everyone was half envious of each other, and Bai Qiushui was even more proud in front of his sisters. After this meal, Bai Qiushui's status in front of everyone has risen, and from the perspective of outsiders, Gu Dashuai cares so much about this third aunt, it seems that he is using his true feelings.

Bai Qiushui came back because of Gu Changsheng, but she came back early at nine o'clock. Gu Changsheng sat on the sofa reading the newspaper, holding a cigarette. When Gu Changsheng saw her coming over, he hugged her into his arms, and when he smelled the faint fragrance on her body, he felt a sense of greed. Bai Qiushui didn't like the smell of smoke, and the smell of smoke came out of his nose and mouth, she took a sip at his face, Gu Changsheng didn't mind, and only said: "You just said that you would promise you one thing, I guess you have already thought about it, what is it to say it?"

Bai Qiushui shook his legs and said, "I want you to take me with you wherever you go next time." ”

Gu Changsheng only said: "Nonsense, how can I take you a woman with me wherever I go." Bai Qiushui couldn't make a fuss, and said sadly: "Once, just once......"

Gu Changsheng was silent for a moment, thought about it and agreed, and said, "Cheng, I'll promise you this time." But only this once. I'll show you a good thing. ”

Bai Qiushui's eyes widened, flashing with light, and he asked eagerly, "What good things?"

Gu Changsheng sloppily said, "Don't be scared and cry when the time comes." ”

Bai Qiushui pulled out the handkerchief under his flank and shook it in his face, saying, "Don't think I haven't seen the world-" In fact, she was also curious in her heart.

【19】

A month later, the cabinet sent a telegram to discuss Qi Jianyun's corruption again, and the telegram also said that a senior official had been sent to examine the matter. When the news reached Tian Zhaonian's ears, he only asked when the chief would come, Gu Changsheng sat aside, and said that it would be noon tomorrow. Tian Zhaonian glanced at him and said, "You can do this matter, and I won't go." ”

Gu Changsheng knew the Overseers, and he had always been safe over the years, so the Overseers trusted him too.

On the first day of the third month of March, it was the time of Qingming, the previous day was windy and rainy, but the sun shone on the morning of the second day, bright and infinite. Looking out of the car, the mulberry trees around the country house have already sprouted branches, and the emerald green branches have grown fresh mulberry leaves, which are full of vitality in the big sunshine.

Bai Qiushui got up at five o'clock today, Gu Changsheng took her on the train, and every carriage was guarded by guards, she was very excited at first, she got off the train and got on the train and drove for three hours, it has always been an endless field of rape flowers, but the longer she opens, she seems to know a little bit of where she is. Memories are like water, but the things in her memory are vague, she tried to remember something, but ten years have passed, many things have changed, just like the street market in front of her, the façade is very new, and there are lights hanging on it.

Gu Changsheng shouted at her twice, and seeing that she was in a daze, he teased: "Are you looking at a little white face?"

Bai Qiushui smacked him, this is the car stopped, someone came to open the door, Gu Changsheng went out with her. Bai Qiushui stayed in the car for too long, and when she took a step, the sunlight was very dazzling, making her eyes unable to open. Gu Changsheng was talking to several chiefs, and said to his guards, "Send the third aunt back to the room first." I still have business to deal with. ”

Bai Qiushui followed her guards to a building, although she didn't pay attention to where this was, it was heavily guarded, there were sentry posts, and there were a few military vehicles parked in front of the door, she probably guessed that this was the military office of a certain district. When I went upstairs, I suddenly felt a cold air, and there was a faint smell of fire. Lian walked to the second floor, and a long corridor closed door led to the end, she didn't look too much, and followed the guard upstairs.

To her surprise, there was a room with a simple quilt on a copper wire steel bed, neatly furnished, and a bathroom at the entrance. The guard closed the door for her when it arrived at the door, and she knew that the guard had not left and had been guarding the door.

The curtain blocked the sun, the small window was closed tightly, and the latch pushed open the window and looked out, and saw a group of soldiers in front of him integrating, and the person standing in front of him was Gu Changsheng, she didn't look too much, closed the window and returned to the room.

When it was time to eat in the afternoon, the guards brought her dinner, and Bai Qiushuigan sat in the room and couldn't go anywhere, and was already impatient, and asked, "When will Dashuai come back?"

The guard didn't know either, just shook his head.

Bai Qiushui sat on the sofa and ate dinner, picked up another glass of water and drank it, she was not tired of waiting this day, and at six or seven o'clock in the evening, there were car lights shining on the window, and the bright yellow long arc was on the ceiling. Bai Qiushui was about to fall asleep, but he was awakened by this light.

She looked out the window, the two cars turned a corner, she picked up the coat on the hanger, went to the bathroom to comb her hair, and made up her makeup, after dressing up, she heard the guard knock on the door and said, "Third aunt, Gu Dashuai ordered me to take you down." ”

She opened the door and went down with the guards.

Gu Changsheng was in another building, and when she went out from the door on the right, she saw many uniformed soldiers standing neatly outside the door. There were not many people inside, it was a few chiefs she saw during the day, Gu Changsheng saw her come in, and hurriedly introduced to them, this room is very small, and it looks like an office place, and then there are a lot of boxes piled up from the inside out, with seals pasted on the cross, and I don't know what it is, she is a smart person, and she doesn't ask if she is interested.

After a while, an adjutant came in with a document bag in his hand, and Gu Changsheng said, "Did he sign it?" The adjutant nodded. Gu Changsheng took out the piece of paper, looked at it carefully, laughed happily, and said, "This time I can give my head a mess." ”

Several commanders said, "When will the marshal return?" Gu Changsheng took off his uniform jacket, he was in a happy mood, but he didn't refuse, but said: "How can I let you invite me to drink when I come to Fulin this time, in this way, I will find a place to invite you later." ”

Several chiefs were very embarrassed, and they couldn't stand Gu Changsheng's enthusiasm, so they pushed back for a long time, and a guard knocked on the door and came in, and said a few words to them, Gu Changsheng lowered his eyes and said, "Did you order someone?" The guard said: "It's all in the car, please go and take a look, we can make a record." ”

Gu Changsheng turned to the three elders and said, "Then let's go together." ”

After saying this, he looked at Bai Qiushui beside him and said to her, "You better stay here and wait for me to come back." ”

Bai Qiushui looked at him suspiciously, and said, "What are you going to see, so mysterious? ”

Gu Changsheng said helplessly: "I told you, you are a woman who is afraid of scaring you." Bai Qiushui didn't want to go this time, so he grabbed one of his arms and said, "If you say that, I'll follow you to take a look." ”

The three chiefs couldn't help but smile, Bai Qiushui didn't know what they were laughing at. Gu Changsheng sighed and shook his head, "This is what you want to follow." ”

It was already night, a few stars in the dark blue night sky, and it was a little cold at night, but Bai Qiushui put on a fur scarf and came out with them.

A military truck was parked at the door, and although there were electric lights in the yard, there was a dark curtain behind the truck, and it was as dark as an abyss. Bai Qiushui was puzzled, as soon as the adjutant beside Gu Changsheng gave the order, the soldiers jumped up to carry things, and there were soldiers below. I don't know what they were carrying down, wrapped in black skin, as if it was very difficult.

Gu Changsheng walked up, Bai Qiushui followed him and looked curiously, when the adjutant uncovered the layer of black skin on it, Bai Qiushui didn't have time to react, so he subconsciously opened his mouth wide, and then retreated far away in fright, and only said: "Dead man, dead man......" Her Danfeng eyes widened, and she raised a hand in surprise, as if she was frozen.

Gu Changsheng laughed and said, "Just tell you to stay inside." You see, I didn't lie to you, look at your little appearance. ”

Bai Qiushui was still stunned there, she thought she had seen a lot of the world, but the first time she saw a dead man whose head was beaten into a deep hole, his lips were white, his face was covered with blood, and there was no breath of life, because it was night, and at this time there was a faint smell of blood from the air, which came from the truck, and there must have been a lot of dead people inside.

Bai Qiushui was frightened, his face turned pale, Gu Changsheng turned his head to the adjutant and said, "Have you ordered someone?" The adjutant said, "I have made a list, but how to deal with the aftermath?"

However, at this time, a senior officer stood up and said: "Leave this to me, anyway, the marshal has read the roster, and the people on the list are here." The marshal will rush back tomorrow, and the rest will be left to me to deal with. ”

Gu Changsheng patted him on the shoulder and thanked him sincerely: "Then there is Brother Lao Xu." ”

The soldiers still covered the men in black skins and carried them back into the trucks.

After that, they went to eat, Bai Qiushui followed, but she was shocked, the meal was muddy, they didn't hear anything clearly, and when the bureau was over, Gu Changsheng and Bai Qiushui went to the hotel where they were issued to rest and did not return to the army, where there were already soldiers standing at the door, and when they saw their car coming, they came to open the door.

went upstairs Bai Qiushui went to the bathroom to take a bath, and when he came out, he found that there was an extra box in the room, and he said to himself: "What's in this box?"

Gu Changsheng rested his legs on the coffee table, smiled mysteriously, slowly stood up and walked to her side and said, "I scared you just now, right?"

Bai Qiushui still had palpitations, clutched his chest and said, "No, it scared me to death." ”

Gu Changsheng smiled and said, "Let's see if this will be better?" He didn't bend down and opened the lid of the box with his foot.

The one that was shining with a yellowish light in the dark, lying in the box with incomparable precipitation, Bai Qiushui squatted down, looked at it in a daze, as if he had seen it wrong, picked up a small yellow croaker and asked, "Where did you get so many gold bars?"

Gu Changsheng crossed his hands on his waist and said, "There are many more below, but they are all handed over to the top, only this box is ours." After saying that, he took off his coat.

Bai Qiushui turned his head and said, "We?"

Gu Changsheng hugged her horizontally and laughed: "Isn't mine yours, be careful of your liver, you can't serve me well today?"

Bai Qiushui pinched his ears and said, "Where did you get so many gold bars?"

Gu Changsheng put her on the bed, raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course I deserve this." You don't want to see who I'm working for?"

On the second day, Gu Changsheng and Bai Qiushui had already taken a few hours of car to the train station. Because Gu Changsheng wanted to go back to the military office to report the errand, he asked the car to send Bai Qiushui home halfway, and the box of gold bars naturally let Bai Qiushui take it back.

Bai Qiushui came home, staring at the two guards carrying the box upstairs, the sun was shining, she stood on the steps and fanned her face with a handkerchief, watching them move the box upstairs and she was about to enter the house, but unfortunately, a car drove in from outside the gate and stopped in front of her.

Bai Qiushui cursed secretly in his heart, and suddenly showed a smile, and went up and shouted: "Second wife." ”

The second wife's plain cheongsam hair was neatly combed, and she brought an elderly mother, who carried a basket and covered it with a layer of cloth. When the second wife saw Bai Qiushui, she didn't even smile, she looked at her coldly, and only said, "Where did the third aunt and Dashuai go yesterday?"

Bai Qiushui said with a smile: "Dashuai went out to do some business and took me along." ”

The second wife sneered: "What kind of business can he do and still bring you a woman? I'm afraid that I will be at ease with you again, and forget about yesterday's Qingming ancestor worship." ”

The second wife's words were ironic, Bai Qiushui was not so good-tempered, and she didn't want to say more to her, so she just said: "Whether the second wife believes it or not, I'm tired after a long ride, if it's okay, I'll go back to rest." She turned around and walked into the house, and the second lady didn't speak again, and she didn't know if she was gone.

Gu Changsheng came back early, and he was in a very good mood, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked someone to open a bottle of red wine and bring it into the room. Bai Qiushui had already been in bed for a long time, and when he heard the car parked at the door downstairs, he knew that he was back, so he only pretended to be asleep. Gu Changsheng entered the room and saw that she was lying on the bed as if she was asleep, and her steps slowed down to the bed. The eyelids that were not closed under Bai Qiushui's eyelashes shook unconsciously, and Gu Changsheng knew that she was pretending to be asleep, so he deliberately kept silent.

Bai Qiushui heard that there was no sound in the room unexpectedly, and she was puzzled, so she suddenly opened her eyes, and when she saw Gu Changsheng looking at herself at the head of the bed, she was startled, got up and threw a pillow on him, and only said: "No conscience, scared me to death!"

Gu Changsheng stood up and said with a smile: "Come, have a glass of wine with me." ”

Bai Qiushui slowly got up from the bed, sat down next to him, and took a sip of wine. Gu Changsheng saw that she was sullen and felt strange, Bai Qiushui hesitated for a while, frowned, and only said, "It's not the second wife yet." Gu Changsheng knew that the two of them had never dealt with each other, and he hadn't been to see Liuping for a while, so he felt guilty and didn't say anything, so he persuaded her: "She's a long house anyway, don't be serious with her." ”

Bai Qiushui said: "What do you mean that I am more serious with her, I don't dare to go anywhere in this house on weekdays, it is the second wife who deliberately came to me to find me - today people came back happily, the second wife came back one step late, I saw her get out of the car and go up to say hello, but the second wife didn't even look at me...... And I don't know where you took me yesterday to be free-"

Gu Changsheng frowned when he heard this: "She's like that, since she beat me and said that she wanted to marry my aunt's wife, she is always like that, and you still vomit with her?"

Bai Qiushui wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "I don't have it, what I care about is what she said later, she said that you took me out, yesterday was Qingming, and you even forgot about worshipping your ancestors - can you blame me?"

Gu Changsheng suddenly slapped his head, slapped his thigh twice in a row, and said in his mouth: "Oh bad, damn it, I forgot about it." ”

Saying that, he put the red wine on the table and stood up, Bai Qiushui asked, "Where are you going?"

Gu Changsheng took the coat on the hanger and said to her, "I'll go to the old mansion to worship my ancestors, and you can sleep by yourself when it's too late." ”

Just like that, someone came knocking on the door, Gu Changsheng opened the door, and saw that it was the second wife's side, and the person said, "The second wife asked me to inform you to go to worship incense." He said, "I know, I'll come." ”

Bai Qiushui leaned against the wall and said, "I'm also your woman, why can't I go to worship my ancestors?" Gu Changsheng paused, held her hand and coaxed: "This is a matter of worshipping ancestors in the main house, how can you go to your aunt's wife?" It's done, you stay here." With that, he closed the door, and heard only the heavy footsteps coming downstairs.
