When I came out of the ancestral hall, I was met by the nuns who had returned from cleaning the courtyard, they were wearing blue hats, and their robes were covered in sunlight, which was a little blurry.

As she passed me and was about to enter the ancestral hall, I called out to her, and she paused at her feet, turned her head to look at me, and folded her hands together at me.

I clung to the door frame, I couldn't tell how I felt at this time, I didn't understand what the marriage dead sign meant, was it because I didn't have the fate of not getting married in my life, or my marriage was very unfortunate, forget the sorrow and told me not to entangle with Ji Rongke, he is not my lover, but I can't jump out, I am trapped in the nightmare of love, except for blindly struggling, what else can I do, this whirlpool swallows me, sucks me, I have no way not to fall.

I asked her with a trembling voice where her master lived, and she said that she was in the backyard meditation room.

I turned around and looked out at the backyard through a lake outside the ancestral hall, a wooded area in which I could faintly see a few brick houses, shaded by lush pine and cypress, which is probably the only tree that could flourish so much this season, and I asked her, "Can you take me there?" ”

The nun thought for a moment, "I'm afraid not, donor." The master never sees outsiders, and if she is not in the ancestral hall, she will not have private contact with people in the red dust. ”

I was very anxious and said, "I have something urgent, I still don't understand the signature I begged for, and I want to ask the teacher too." ”

The nun frowned and hesitated, at this time, the little nun who had just handed me three sticks of incense came out of the ancestral hall, she was holding two volumes of scriptures in her hand, and she said to me, "Donor, your fate with our small temple is over, and the master you want to ask has said." ”

"But she still hasn't said anything, obviously hiding from me, she obviously knows, why can't she tell me, this is my fate and my life, don't I have the right to know?"

I'm a little annoyed and anxious, I really want to know, everything related to Ji Rongke is like a huge tumor, spreading rapidly in my heart to grow and encroach, more like an uncontrollable drug addiction, I can't quit any medicine, I can only keep sucking, to continue my life and reason, this cancer and drug addiction are showing their own abilities to frantically lure me to understand, explore and surrender, I can't wait to dig up the layers of obstacles immediately and see our final ending.

The little nun didn't say a word, she squeezed in past me, turned and left the ancestral hall, while the other nuns inside were still reciting the scriptures, oblivious to the disturbances of the outside world.

I knew that there was no point in delaying, and since they didn't talk about it, they wouldn't open their mouths anyway, so I finally took out a hundred-dollar bill and put it on the threshold, pressed it with a pebble, and walked straight out of the temple.

The car door opened in the sun, Biaozi squatted next to him and smoked, he saw me come out, immediately threw away the cigarette butt, he got into the car, and when I sat down, he sniffed in the air, "What a smell of smoke." ”

I said that I was going to worship the Buddha, Biao Zi was stunned, he looked over my head and looked at the undulating temple buildings behind me, "Miss Feng believes in Buddhism?" ”

I said I didn't believe it, and he was even more stunned, "I don't believe what you are doing to worship the Buddha." ”

I covered my eyes with the palm of my hand, closed it and wanted to rest for a while, my head was so painful, it was buzzing and drumming, it was so swollen that I wanted to vomit, I didn't sleep all night last night, and I was hit in the temple early in the morning, and I was full of the signature in my heart, and I forgot that she had never seen a dead lot, and it was a dead sign with three in a row.

I had the strength to say, "Ask for peace of mind, pray for Rong Ke, no matter what it does, at least it won't go wrong, there is no merit or fault, and I feel a little comforted in my heart." ”

Biao Zi drove the car fast, he reached behind with one hand, took a plastic bag from the back hook of the chair, which contained some breakfast, he gently put it on my lap, let me eat some cushion to cushion my appetite, I unintentionally smelled the fragrant and very familiar smell, I opened my eyes to see, a box full of desserts, Biao Zi said, "I forgot what day, Brother Rong told me and He Tang Master that you are very fond of sweets, if you come across a particularly delicious pastry or drink, write down the address and bring it back to you to taste." ”

I suddenly felt sour and astringent, as if it was about to be swelled and broken, I lowered my eyes to look at the yellow box containing pastries, the large white mist in front of me quickly surged and almost fell tears, in fact, I don't like sweets very much, but compared to other tastes, I think sweetness can make my heart less bitter, over time, others think I love sweets.

In my impression, Ji Rongke rarely asks me what I like and what I hate, but he can always keep my likes and dislikes in mind, even if I have an extra bite of a dish during dinner, he will definitely order the nanny or waiter to cook the same dish next time, and then put it within my reach, I have not been carefully recalled, but at this moment, I really feel very heartwarming.

I was also surprised that during the time I entered the ancestral hall, Biaozi was so willing to buy pastries, this is a time-honored brand signboard in South China Province, not close to here, there are almost twenty minutes by car, there are few people in the morning, and it will take more than ten minutes, he hurriedly bought a hot one, I pinched a piece with my fingers, and took a bite It was still that taste, it was not just the taste of pastries, but from Ji Rongke's special concern for me.

I had red eyes as I ate, and at last I had to raise my head to push back the tears that were almost coming out of my eyes, and after I ate the third piece, I asked Biaozi, "Can he come back and stand in front of me peacefully." ”

I stuffed a lot in my mouth, my throat choked uncomfortably, I stared at Biaozi with expectant eyes, he felt sad, and comforted me with great firmness and said yes, I will definitely be able to Brother Rong is reluctant, Brother Rong is the most affectionate.

After listening to him, I couldn't bear the pressure anymore, covered my face with my hands and sobbed lowly, venting all the suppressed fear, fear and sadness in my heart, and crying to the ground.

After a long time, Biaozi finally parked the car in the farthest district of South China Province, West China.

West China District is geographically close to Longgang Street, Longgang Street is the earliest gangster in South China, when the rise of a large number of local snakes and strong dragons, including the current Longgang Street to carry the handle of Brother Long, Longgang Street history is very old, is very lengthy, wide and messy to a street, occupies a quarter of the area of West China, piled up many old residential areas and antique trade city, it is not just a street, but seven horizontal and eight vertical extension of dozens, but the most famous is Longgang Street, so it is called by the code name.

Adjacent to the airport and the railway, West China has one of the largest casinos in southern China, a very dense jungle and mountains, the most lively pedestrian street, a whole bar and sauna city, and is the most crowded area in the whole province, with the largest number of people, high-ranking officials and wealthy people, and belongs to the most polarized area.

Ji Rongke's establishment of his Ji empire in West China is a far-sighted consideration, this area is not the richest and most prosperous in South China Province, but it is indeed the most resourceful, just like a war between countries, the geographical advantage is the strongest, if Uncle Nine wants to take Jiulong will conquer and occupy Ji's territory, it is as difficult and dangerous as boarding Shu Road.

Backed by mountains and forests, the downtown area on the left, the airport and the track on the right, the old shop leading to Longgang Street in front of it, and the southwest through it, you can sit and watch the situation in the world without an inch.

Biaozi parked the car at the door of an alley, he took me to shuttle in, came to a manor, this is not an ordinary living manor, but a dozen buildings, surrounded by dozens of meters of huge barbed wire, every corner with strong electricity, touch either death or injury, want to enter only one iron door, the iron door is slightly shorter than the wall, but very heavy, dark black paint in the sun flashing cold light, the iron gate is equipped with two lookouts, each mouth is built with a half-height round platform, Each has bodyguards on duty 24 hours a day with guns, and long-range cameras and long-range shooting rifles are installed in the four corners of the southeast, north, west, and north, and every twenty bodyguards form a team, and the four teams are guarded, and it is difficult for even a bird to overcome this heavy control.

I stood at the door, looking up at the solemn Ji family, and suddenly had a hint of retreat, I didn't know that Ji Rongke had such a huge and terrible place behind him, every brick and tile was full of ambition, and every wisp of air was oppressive and suffocating, Ji Rongke didn't have a trace, but silently cut half of South China, many people were probably kept in the dark, thinking that he only had a golden garden and a casino, as long as these two nests were eradicated, he would have nothing, but his real base was hidden in layers of mirages, easily not known to outsiders.

This is the real man's empire, the man's world, women are not even a speck of dust in their eyes, humble to the extreme, unable to fight, unable to make decisions on the world, everything is despised and rejected by them, I silently clenched my fists, Biaozi stood next to me for a long time and did not see any movements and instructions from me, he whispered and asked me if I went in, I suppressed the fear that was pounding in my heart, "Are you all here?" ”

"Miss Feng rest assured, all the one thousand and three brothers have arrived. Brother Rong once confessed that when he was not in South China, these people took the lead from me and the orders of Hall Master He. ”

I exhaled deeply, "Rong Ke is not here, you and Hall Master He can indeed support the entire Ji clan, but you can't suppress the dissipation of people's hearts and the collapse of public opinion, I don't have any reputation, but I have Rong Ke's only child in the world, he is my bargaining chip to be accepted by these people, before Rong Ke returns, the Ji clan must not be taken advantage of by the Kowloon Society, let alone become Huo Yanchen's thing." ”

Biao Zi frowned and looked at me, he wanted to speak and stopped, I know what he is struggling with, secretly know that Ji Rongke and Huo Yanchen There are a lot of people who fight for me, they are the so-called enemies to a large extent, I work in Huo Yanchen's field, and I need to rely on him to protect myself, can I keep Ji Shi wholeheartedly for Ji Rongke, who is uncertain about life and death, and hand it over to me and carry it together with him and He Tang Master, which is safer and more secure, Biao Zi is very at a loss now, he can't take it, he can only stay out of the way.

I didn't explain much to him, I walked over and stood outside the iron gate, looking at the heavy mechanisms set up inside, Biao Zi raised his hand and shouted to the guard's bodyguard to open the door, the bodyguard recognized him, shouted Brother Biao, immediately jumped off the high platform, took out a card attached to the sensor on the door, and then the iron door made a crisp sound, Biao Zi pushed open and let me enter first, the bodyguard stared at me, he wanted to ask who I was, but since it was brought by Biao Zi, he didn't dare to open his mouth, he could only look at me carefully, and note my appearance and features.

Biaozi's fingers flexibly pressed a series of codes on the wall, and the two crystal glass doors opened one after another, and twenty bodyguards stood on both sides with short guns, all of them of similar size and age, each of them without a trace of expression on their faces, like lifeless robots.

The light leading to the innermost wide hall is very bright, but the distance is too far, the vision is very blurry, I can only see the heads jumping there, there are more than a dozen people sitting in the front row, all in suits and leather shoes, and there are nearly a thousand thugs in white shirts and black pants standing in the back, so many people can't hear a single sound, so quiet as if all are sculptures, I subconsciously swallowed my saliva, and said that Ji Rongke's requirements and rules for his subordinates are so strict that they are almost perverted, he pays attention to feelings, but he is extremely ruthless, once he violates his bottom line, Contrary to his principles, he would cut off his fingers and arms at every turn, including Hall Master He.

Seeing that I was too nervous, Biao Zi smiled and patted me on the back and pointed to the road ahead, "Everyone is waiting for you, I said hello in advance, Brother Rong's women will come over today, they are all waiting to see your true face, Brother Rong has few women, there have been none in the past few years, and the brothers are very curious." ”
