Chapter 11: The Mystery of Origin
After passing through Zhengyang Gate, a tram happened to stop at the station, Xie Shuyao hesitated for a moment or got on the tram, about 20 minutes later Xie Shuyao got off near the West Fourth Archway, and after getting off the train, Xie Shuyao walked aimlessly into the nearby Xi'an Market.

The Xi'an Market is an echo of the Dong'an Market in Wangfujing, but it is not as large as the Dong'an Market. Xixi'an market was an execution ground in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty killed a lot of people here, and later the Qing Dynasty changed its name to quail market, because the princes and nobles of the former Qing Dynasty liked to fight quails here and became famous, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the national government established the Xi'an market here. Today's Xi'an Market is mostly home to some teahouses and restaurants, and there are some jugglers who make a living here, and there are many princes and nobles who fell in the Qing Dynasty living nearby.
Xie Shuyao aimlessly turned around the Xi'an Market, went around the Taiping Bridge to Xi'anmen Street, and walked along Xi'anmen Street to the Yuhe Bridge where he committed suicide by jumping into the lake last time, Xie Shuyao was melancholy for a while on the bridge against the lake in Beihai, and then turned around and walked towards Jingshan not far to the west.
Ascending the Shouhuang Hall in Jingshan, Xie Shuyao found a shady place near the railing and looked at the distance in a daze. In the past ten years, Xie Shuyao thought that he had already seen through those things between men and women, but Bai Ruolin's departure made Xie Shuyao clearly realize the changes in his inner emotions, and Ruolin's departure seemed to give Xie Shuyao's soul a heavy blow and awakened his heart that had been silent for ten years. After Xie Shuyao learned the news of Ruolin's departure, Xie Shuyao's closed love was like a Pandora's box that was suddenly opened, so that this morning Xie Shuyao couldn't help but kiss Ruolin who had not woken up yet, if Ruolin hadn't pushed it away in time to wake herself up, Xie Shuyao felt that he would definitely not be able to control his inner emotions, and would be desperate to express his love to Bai Ruolin.
Xie Shuyao's eyes inadvertently drifted to a pavilion in the east, there was a girl in the pavilion whose back was very familiar, Xie Shuyao couldn't help but look at it curiously, and when the girl turned around and spoke to a man in his thirties, Xie Shuyao was surprised to see that this girl was actually Xie Suxin. Xie Shuyao was a little strange why Xie Suxin appeared here, today is Friday, she should be in class at the Confucius School, thinking of this, Xie Shuyao did not rush forward to say hello, but hid in a high place and secretly observed.
After secretly watching for a while, Xie Shuyao found that Xie Suxin had a very close relationship with the man in his thirties, Xie Shuyao guessed that this man might be Xie Suxin's uncle or other relatives, just when Xie Shuyao turned around and was about to go down the mountain to say hello to Xie Suxin, he saw Lu Ming standing under a locust tree not far behind him, Lu Ming saw him looking at him, and he came over with a smile.
Xie Shuyao saw Lu Ming coming over, frowned lightly and asked, "Classmate Lu, what are you doing here?" Aren't you supposed to be in class today? ”
Lu Ming saw Xie Shuyao's disgusted expression, and said with a wry smile helplessly: "I took leave today and wanted to send your cousin, and when I arrived at the station, I saw that you had already sent people out of the train station." Later, your brother said that you were in a bad mood, and he didn't worry about you, so he asked me to follow me all the way. ”
Xie Shuyao sneered disdainfully, and said self-deprecatingly: "Are you afraid that I will commit suicide by jumping into the lake again?" ”
Lu Ming opened his mouth to deny Xie Shuyao's words, but found that he really didn't know what to say, so he finally had to comfort and say: "Everyone cares about you very much and is afraid that something will happen to you." ”
"Afraid something will happen to me?" Xie Shuyao smiled bitterly and repeated in a deep voice.
Taking a deep breath to relieve his emotions, Xie Shuyao looked up and saw Lu Ming looking at him with a concerned face, and asked casually, "Do you like me?" ”
After hearing Xie Shuyao's words, Lu Ming paused slightly, and replied a little shyly: "I do have a love for you." ”
"But I don't have anything to do with you, do you understand what I mean?" Xie Shuyao said mercilessly.
Lu Ming sighed in a low voice, tried to squeeze out a bitter smile and said, "I know, but I still can't help but love you." ”
"Do you know what we're living for?" Xie Shuyao turned around and looked at the golden glazed tiles of the Forbidden City and said.
When Lu Ming heard Xie Shuyao's words, he didn't know what Xie Shuyao wanted to say, so he replied cautiously: "Everyone has a different goal in life, some people are for money, and some people are for power-"
"You're right, everyone has a different purpose in life, do you know what my goal is?" Xie Shuyao turned his head sideways to Lu Ming and asked.
Lu Ming looked at Xie Shuyao's smooth and beautiful face facing the side, as if her smile was tightly touching her heart, and she said a little confusedly: "Me? I want to stay with the people I love until I am white. ”
Xie Shuyao turned his head and saw Lu Ming's disgusting eyes, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said angrily: "Classmate Lu, is there something wrong with your eyes?" ”
"I didn't mean to, I just-" After Lu Ming woke up with the scolding, he knew that he had angered Xie Shuyao, and hurriedly wanted to apologize.
"I don't want to see that look anymore, it just makes me sick!" Xie Shuyao sharply interrupted Lu Ming's apology and said viciously.
"I've made it clear to you today, I don't like you, I hope you don't appear in front of me again in the future, now please leave in a mellow way!" Xie Shuyao said angrily.
Lu Ming opened his mouth to explain something, but finally left silently.
After Lu Ming left, Xie Shuyao, who was in a very bad mood, sat on the carved railing of the Shouhuang Palace and sulked. Suddenly a shadow appeared in front of Xie Shuyao, Xie Shuyao looked up and saw Xiao Ziming appear in front of him, and after a slight pause, Xie Shuyao snorted coldly: "RB people's lackey, what are you doing here?" ”
"I'm not that little white face, what are you angry at me?" Xiao Ziming lit a cigarette and leaned on the red pillar on the side and said leisurely.
Xie Shuyao didn't want to stay with such a dangerous person, so she got up and was about to leave.
"What's the hurry, you don't want this thing?" As he spoke, Xiao Ziming released a silver cross necklace in his hand.
Xie Shuyao, who got up, glanced back at the necklace in Xiao Ziming's hand, which was the necklace given to him by Zhao Ting when he was sick a few days ago, Xie Shuyao squinted at Xiao Ziming and said, "It turns out that you are the thief on the train!" ”
"Thief? Hahaha...... Don't say it so badly, will the thief give you something back? After speaking, Xiao Ziming threw the silver necklace to Xie Shuyao.
"What about Maitreya Jade Buddha and film, by the way, and what about hundreds of dollars? Hurry up and give it back to me. Xie Shuyao glared at Xiao Ziming and said angrily.
Xiao Ziming exposed the jade Buddha pendant around his neck and looked at it, smiled at Xie Shuyao and said, "I like this jade Buddha a lot, give it to me!" As for the film, I don't want to give it back to you, and I've already used that money to buy cigarettes. ”
"So, you don't plan to give me back this Jade Buddha, do you?" Seeing that Xiao Ziming had no intention of returning the Jade Buddha, Xie Shuyao asked with a sneer.
Xiao Ziming stuffed the Jade Buddha back into his arms and said with a smile: "As a talented woman of Peking University, I like to deal with smart people like you." ”
Xie Shuyao scolded angrily: "You are different from others, others have thick soles, and you have thick skin." I've lived for so many years, and I've never seen such a shameless person as you, it's an insult to human beings to live like you, what am I talking to you about. After all, it's hard for people to fight poop, you step on it and hit it, but it's still poop, and it's you who gets dirty. ”
After scolding, Xie Shuyao turned around angrily and was about to leave.
"Do you know what the word 'Chang' behind this Jade Buddha represents?" Xiao Ziming suddenly said to Xie Shuyao, who was leaving, with a straight face.
Xie Shuyao stopped and turned around, squinted his eyes at Xiao Ziming and asked disapprerovingly, "What does it mean?" ”
"There are two pieces of this jade Buddha, one is engraved with 'Chang' on the back, and the other is engraved with 'Ting'. Xie Siting has a jade Buddha with the word 'Ting'. Xiao Ziming said with a serious face.
"Xie Yingchang?" This name suddenly popped out of Xie Shuyao's mouth, Xie Shuyao couldn't help frowning, stared at Xiao Ziming and sneered: "What do you mean?" ”
Xiao Ziming threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground and stepped on it, sighed deeply, and said with some sadness: "Your mother's name is Wang Yating, she is a revolutionary, in the second year of the Republic of China, the Kuomintang won a big victory in the general election of the Republic of China Congress, Mr. Song Jiaoren wants to follow the European practice of the "cabinet system", and he wants to form a cabinet as the head of the party. At that time, several officials under Yuan Shikai thought that Mr. Song threatened their rule, and they planned to assassinate Mr. Song, but this plan was learned by your mother by chance, and your mother took the opportunity to go back to her mother's house and wanted to tell the Kuomintang about this plan, but your mother's purpose in Nanjing was soon known by Yuan Shikai's minions, and your mother found out that someone was following her, so she fostered you in your current family, and soon she was killed. ”
Xiao Ziming saw Xie Shuyao, who was still indifferent, and didn't seem to be frightened by the story he said, he was a little secretly surprised in his heart, and after a pause, he continued: "Your natal name should be Xie Suping, Xie Siting should be your own sister, his natal name is Xie Sujie, and later your biological father Xie Yingchang changed her name to Xie Siting in order to commemorate your mother." ”
Xie Shuyao was silent for a while, and then continued to ask: "If according to what you say, my uncle Xie Yingchang is my biological father, why didn't my current parents give me back to my uncle?" ”
"Xie Siting's status in the Xie family, don't you know? Are your current parents willing to send you back to your biological father to suffer? Xiao Ziming said with a smile.
"How do you know these things?" Xie Shuyao felt like she was listening to a bizarre story, Xie Shuyao asked with a frown.
"I found it out when I investigated the Xie family." Xiao Ziming turned to look at the Forbidden City and said lightly.
Xie Shuyao stared at Xiao Ziming and asked cautiously, "Who are you?" Why are you investigating the Xie family? ”
Xiao Ziming saw Xie Shuyao's serious expression, so he leaned over with a smile and whispered in Xie Shuyao's ear: "I'll tell you if you're kissed." ”
Xie Shuyao sneered, and scolded Xiao Zi with disdain: "Do you think you can fool me by making up a story randomly?" I'm still a hundred years later, you and I are so easy to deceive? ”
After speaking, Xie Shuyao turned around and left, this time Xie Shuyao didn't hear Xiao Ziming's voice behind him and didn't sound again, Xie Shuyao knew that he had said everything he had to say, and there was no need for him to pester himself.
As for whether the story Xiao Ziming said is true, Xie Shuyao has his own plans in his heart. What made Xie Shuyao wonder was why Xiao Ziming told him these things, what was his relationship with the Xie family, why did he investigate the Xie family, and what did all this have to do with his own life experience? …… There were many questions in Xie Shuyao's heart, it seemed that his life experience was hiding many unknown secrets, and Xie Shuyao was secretly determined to find out the answers to these secrets little by little.
