Chapter 81: The Old Man in the Dark
This time I didn't listen to the piano when I entered the piano room, Chen Yang sat and drank tea, talked for a while, and then got up to say goodbye. Gong Liangxi had already wanted to leave, and when he saw Chen Yang standing up, he was busy and said goodbye.
The two went out and took their respective cars, and then went to Huatian Hotel.
When I arrived in the room, I saw Chen Yaoming waiting with a stranger. Chen Yang guessed that this was probably the employee sent by Chen Jiashan to Zhongnanshan.
The man was originally sitting, but when he saw Chen Yang coming, he quickly stood up.
Chen Yang smiled and nodded to him, and he sat down on the sofa before beckoning him, "Sit, sit." ”
The employee looked at Chen Yaoming.
Chen Yaoming also said: "Sit, sit." ”
He sat down again.
Seeing him in his 30s, Chen Yang thought to himself why Chen Jiashan didn't send a young man over, he was a family man in his 30s, and it was inconvenient to live alone in Zhongnanshan, so he said, "How long have you been here, are you homesick?"
The employee laughed and replied, "Old man, I'm from here." ”
It turned out that Chen Jiashan hired a local from Zhongnan Mountain to find an old Taoist priest.
Chen Yang said to Chen Yaoming: "Your father arranged it well. ”
Then he said to the employee, "What's your name?"
The employee said, "My surname is Gu, and my name is Zhu Qing." ”
Chen Yang said: "Zhu Qingsha White Bird flew back, your name is good." Your father is learned. ”
Gu Zhuqing smiled: "My father is a farmer. My name was given by an elder in the clan. ”
"Really?" Chen Yang said: "Your elder is a bit interesting, are you an intellectual?"
"It's not. Gu Zhuqing said: "In his early years, he was a porter on Zhongnan Mountain, specializing in picking things for the various avenues. Later, when I got older, I couldn't pick up things, so I went to be a Taoist priest, and after a few years, I also contracted to plant medicinal materials in the mountains, and I didn't see anything valuable growing for many years, so I transferred the mountains to others, and now I don't know where it is. I haven't seen him in more than a decade. ”
It sounded like a story of a down-and-out, but Chen Yang didn't take it to heart and asked, "You took the picture to the old Taoist priest, do you have some eyebrows?"
Although he knew that it was impossible for Gu Zhuqing to find the fictional character, Chen Yang still asked. There is no other reason, it is just a lie.
Gu Zhuqing said: "Since President Chen sent me the pictures, I haven't looked for them. ”
The employees of the Chen Group all know that Chen Jiashan is only the president of the company, and Chen Yang is the chairman.
"Why don't you go and look for it?" Chen Yaoming didn't know about it yet, and he became angry when he heard it.
What do you mean, you were hired to find that old Taoist priest, and you didn't look for anyone, so what did you hire you for? Chen Yaoming has really never seen such an irresponsible employee.
Chen Yang knew that there must be a reason for this. Gu Zhuqing is not a fool, he talked about his unobedience in front of the boss, and he looked calm.
He said, "Is there any reason?"
Gu Zhuqing nodded and said, "I have seen this person in the picture and know who he is." So I didn't look for it, I just asked. ”
"Huh?!" Chen Yang exclaimed. There is a fictional character out of nothing, Gu Zhuqing actually said that he had seen it, is it an ulterior motive, or is it a coincidence, there is indeed someone?
"Great!" Chen Yaoming couldn't help but stand up: "Take us to find it!"
Gu Zhuqing didn't mean to get up at all, and said, "This person can't find it, so I can only wait." I didn't tell the president that I had seen this person, because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to wait, and finally the president said that I lied, and I fell down. ”
Chen Yang was also confused by these words, and asked, "What's going on?" Can you make it clearer?"
Gu Zhu cleared his throat and told the ins and outs of the matter.
It turned out that the old man in the picture was the elder who named Gu Zhuqing, his name was Gu Duming, and he lived in Xiaoqiao Village.
Chen Yang paid attention when he heard it, and he didn't know what this Gu Duming had to do with the Dusk Ming Cave that Qin Yun said.
According to the old man in the village, this Gu Duming was already 80 years old more than ten years ago, but he only looked like he was in his 60s. People in the village said that the reason why Gu Duming looked young was because of the relationship between him and his husband for many years. People who exercise regularly are not older than the average person.
Chen Yaoming was disappointed when he heard this, he thought that Gu Zhuqing was talking about what kind of immortal, it turned out to be an old man who had been a porter, even if he looked younger than ordinary people, what was the magic of it, his 90-year-old grandfather looked very young.
Turning his head, he said to Chen Yang: "Grandpa, what Gu Zhuqing said should be two people from the picture, right?"
Gu Zhuqing saw that Chen Yaoming had spoken, so he kept silent.
Chen Yang pondered: "This will not be known until you have seen it." As the old saying goes, the Tao is hidden in the city, and this old man Gu Duming may be the old Taoist. Didn't Gu Zhuqing say it just now, he also worked as a Taoist priest in his early years. ”
Gu Zhuqing hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, he once served as a Taoist priest in the 'Dusk Ming Temple'. ”
"What?" Chen Yang exclaimed. This person's name is Gu Duming, and he used to be a Taoist priest in the Dusk Ming Temple, but he and Qin Yun are talking about the same person.
At the moment, his curiosity was great, so he asked Yuan Shanshan to call Shi Ming and ask what the name of the old man who lived in the dimming cave was.
After the phone was connected, Chen Yang told him about it, and Shi Ming didn't know either.
After asking Qin Yun, he called the phone back: "Old Chen, I asked, Qin Yun's master is named Gu Duming, and he is from Xiaoqiao Village, Zhongnan Mountain, but he no longer has a house in the village, and he can't find anyone there." ”
The name and address are the same, and there is no doubt that they are the same person.
"yes, I see. Hanging up the phone, Chen Yang thought to himself that it was a coincidence, a person he was casually talking about, Chen Jiashan asked someone to describe it as he looked, and there was really a person, and this person was still very mysterious, it seemed that there were really two times.
I felt funny when I thought about it, and I had endless curiosity about this Gu Duming, so I said to Gu Zhuqing: "You tell me about this dim old man, and tell me everything you know." ”
Under Gu Zhuqing's description, Gu Duming is a poor lonely old man, no wife, no children and no daughter, more than ten years ago, he would go back to Xiaoqiao Village every year during Qingming, because his parents' graves were there, but in the past ten years, he has not even gone back to Qingming. The old people in the village said that he was too old to walk. But this year, someone saw him again in Qingming, saying that his appearance has not changed at all, and he is still the same as he was more than ten years ago.
The old people in the village didn't believe it, and Gu Duming was more than 90 years old when he calculated it carefully. The 90-year-old man walks in the tiger and coaxes the ghost!
At this point, Gu Zhuqing's narration ended, and finally he concluded: "This person can't be found, so he can only wait." The time is in the past few days of Qingming, and when he came back, he also went to the grave of his parents. We just need to guard the graves of his parents on the Qingming days every year. Nothing else will work. ”
Chen Yang noticed another question, and he asked, "You said that someone saw Gu Duming this year, who is that person?"
Gu Zhuqing said: "That's one of my cousins." By the way, he has a daughter who works at the Huatian Hotel. ”
"Who?"
"Gu Xiuzhi. ”
