Early the next morning, Yongzheng came to Qin Yundui's residence.

"Yundui, I thought about it yesterday, you finally went back to your hometown to play, I really don't want to go, or I'd better go by myself, you can go back to your home, when you settle down, come back to me. ”

"What's the reason not to go," Qin Yunwan patted Yongzheng on the shoulder, "In such a big city, I'm just a friend like you, what's the point of helping you support the field, besides, I may not be able to help anything." ”

Yongzheng was a little embarrassed, "Okay, Brother Yundui, then let's go." ”

With that, Yongzheng took a group of people to Li Dahu's mansion. Get out of the car and see, my God, such a big villa, everything in it, lush greenery, in addition to this main mansion, there are several large and small houses around. There are a few servants and bodyguards guarding outside, which is really enough!

Thinking about it, someone inside came out to greet him, looking at this person's behavior, it should be Li Dahu. The figure is strong and fat, with a flat head shaved and a bigger head, wearing a suit and leather shoes, in the impression that this person should be a nouveau riche, this time it looks very decent, and sure enough, people rely on clothes.

Li Dahu greeted him warmly when he came up, but he didn't see that he was nervous about being inspected in the house, but he seemed very enthusiastic, and if he was surprised, maybe he was surprised that so many people came.

Yongzheng also introduced a friend from the military region to Li Dahu, and Li Dahu said in his words: "It seems that I, Li Dahu, am really valued, and the police district has introduced me to so many friends." ”

Until the time of eating, everyone didn't think that Li Dahu was anything unusual, it was different from the arrogant and domineering appearance in his imagination, this Li Dahu spoke very funny, and told everyone about his family history.

It turns out that this Li Dahu is indeed born in the head snake, and he himself is not shy about this, and then he started a nightclub by relying on his relationship, and the service of ** made him earn a lot of money at that time.

However, if you want to say that Li Dahu's most proud career, there are three of them, one is a nightclub, which is originally a huge profit, plus there is the support of officials behind it, and it has been doing smoothly; the second is the song and dance theater, according to his own words, purely for the sake of vassal elegance, and does not want others to say that he is a nouveau riche; and the third is the circus, the original circus was just some grandiose plays, since the industry has become bigger, the circus has begun to accept talents from all walks of life, touring everywhere, quite grand, but it has become Li Dahu's most well-known career, everywhere he goes, the venue is full。

At this time, Li Dahu called a man and a woman, and introduced to everyone, the man's name is Li Cheng, the woman's name is Li Jun, the age difference is not much, they are all in their thirties, and they are the children of this Li Dahu.

"I know," Qin Yunwan interjected, "No wonder it's called 'Chengjun Circus City'!"

"Haha, thank you little brother for your appreciation!" People who know the military region also know their own brand, and Li Dahu is also very happy.

"How could I not know," Yongzheng also took over, "It is said that this circus is really quite exciting, and you must go and see it if you have a chance." ”

"Okay, Chengcheng, you can arrange it when the time comes, take these little brothers to see the circus show!"

"Okay," Li Cheng replied, "The circus has been touring for a long time, and it happened to be back in town recently, if you want, I will take you there the day after tomorrow!"

"It seems that we are just in time," said Wang Yuehan, "and this circus has only been seen once in town for a long time." ”

"Actually, no," replied Li Cheng, "the circus returns to the town to perform every month on average, because the town has the largest market and the largest audience, and many times there are tourists here, so the frequency of performances in the town is the largest." ”

"Then it's decided!" everyone agreed, a little pretendedly.

Before leaving, Li Dahu said that the room in this house is quite sufficient, and since there are so many people, it is better to live here.

Qin Yundui said: "Senior, the place where we are staying is indeed a little insufficient, it just so happens that we will be here in the next two days to understand what happened, why don't we vacate a room and live for the two of us?"

"Of course it's no problem, you see that there are some spoked houses outside the main building, Li Cheng, you can help the two girls arrange it by the way." ”

"Then thank you!" Qin Yunwan bowed and said, "Feng Xuan, Yin Ning, you two follow Brother Li, let him help you arrange it!"

"Well, well!" the two men readily agreed, thinking to themselves what the captain must have planned for the two of them here.

The others returned to the hotel, and everyone briefly reviewed today's dinner, in fact, they did not say anything substantial, about what happened that day, Li Dahu was also secretive, insisting that he had not done it, claiming that he had gone back and intimidated the worker before causing him to commit suicide, which is obviously a set of lies.

But things didn't necessarily go nowhere, because everyone thought about one thing, and that was about this circus. In Sheriff Zhang's narration, Li Dahu scolded another person at the time and said, "You don't want to ask for money as soon as you come back," indicating that this person did not stay in the villa for a long time, and this sentence is also a bit like talking to his children, but today I see that the two are just ordinary people, and there will be opportunities to contact them in the future, so you can still consider it slowly;

Therefore, when Li Dahu mentioned that he wanted to take everyone to watch the circus, Qin Yundui agreed without hesitation. As for why people are kept in that house, the first thing is to find out who "comes back occasionally".

Qin Yundui sent his thoughts to Yin Ning and Feng Xuan, and the two of them immediately understood the meaning, and it was already half past nine in the evening after settling the two of them, which was not too late, and the two of them thought about going out for a walk.

Walking around the manor, the two of them sighed that this was really a big mansion, and the vegetation alone could be considered a small attraction, let alone these gorgeous buildings.

When passing by, he saw a gardener watering the flowers, Yin Ning stepped forward to greet him, and the gardener was also more friendly, put down his work and chatted with them.

"If you want to say that night, there were no witnesses at all, the long-term worker was a miscellaneous worker, and the family owed Li Dahu a loan shark, so he worked here, what age did you say it was, and there was such a thing as a loan shark, thinking about that person was also pitiful, and it was not surprising to say suicide. ”

The question of the two not only did not work, but was poured cold water, could it be that the long-term worker deliberately retaliated? But if it didn't really happen, how could it be interrupted in the middle of the call?

The two of them did not hide it, and asked directly: "Who has 'returned' recently?"

The gardener thought for a moment, there are so many servants in this big house, how can they talk about coming back if they don't go out, if there are really others, that is, there are regular meetings every month, and all the managers in charge will come.

"Where do you work?"

"Of course not, you look at the building over there, that's where the monthly meeting is held, and the managers of various departments are gathered for a meeting a few days ago, and they usually work in the place under their jurisdiction. ”

The two of them thought to themselves, this can be regarded as a close to 'coming back', and this conversation is not without fruit.

Going back along the same road, the two saw that there was a special house next to the main building, completely made of wood, and downstairs stood a woman dressed plainly, with her hair simply thinned behind, and her face was full of haggardness, but it did not prevent her from having a dignified and delicate face.

"Hello", since you are passing by, you will come forward to say hello.

"Well, hello," the woman's voice was weak, "you are from the military region that came here." ”

"Well, yes, we came from the headquarters of the military region," Yin Ning replied.

"Oh, then you can go shopping, I am Li Cheng's wife, if you have anything to tell me, I live in this building. ”

Back at the place where they lived, the two of them began to discuss.

"Feng Xuan, the last time I met Chun Sheng in Qingfeng Town, Jing Ran immediately recognized that he was a Holy Spirit Man, although you and I are not so vigilant, but this person also seems to have the breath of a Holy Spirit Man. ”

"Yes, I was aware of it at the time, but I'm not sure, but I'm a little convinced when I hear you say that. ”

The two seemed to have reached a consensus, and Yin Ning continued: "You said, he is Li Cheng's wife, it stands to reason, shouldn't the daughter-in-law of such a big family live in a big house?

"Let's go to her tomorrow, didn't she say we could go to her if we had any questions? ”

"Well, after all, she is the daughter-in-law of the Li family, and she knows more than others. ”

Early the next morning, the two of them were about to go out to find something to eat, but the servant was very considerate to send them over. "Thank you for taking such good care, we're all embarrassed. ”

After breakfast, the two of them went to yesterday's daughter-in-law's house, only to see that the house was a two-story building, but it was not small, and it was more than enough for one person to live. What is special is that this house is completely different from all other houses, and it is completely made of wood, which does not look ordinary, and it is difficult to judge whether it is good or bad for a while.

There was a knock on the door, and the sound of the mistress coming downstairs was heard, and the footsteps went down the stairs, and then the door opened.

The woman was a little surprised when she saw the two of them, and before she could speak, Yin Ning said: "Sister, the two of us are so bored here, just hang out, your house is so interesting." ”

"Come in first," motioned the two of them to come in and sit down, "it will rain soon, and I myself will be bored." ”

Went up the stairs to the second floor, the woman went to the first floor to make tea, Feng Xuan and Yin Ning looked at the room carefully, there were all the things that should be there, but it still seemed a little empty and simple, and I didn't know if it would be cold in winter.

Thinking about it, the hostess came up: "I don't have anything good to entertain you here, so let's just drink some tea," and then put the brewed tea on the small table.

The three of them sat down at the table near the window, in this quiet cabin, drinking tea, looking at the light rain outside the window, but it was more comfortable.

"I'll talk about Shang Qing, you can just call me Sister Qing," the woman saw that the two didn't know how to speak, so she opened her mouth first.

"Well, Sister Qing, my name is Feng Xuan, this is my colleague and my good sister, my name is Yin Ning. Feng Xuan also introduced herself, "We are mainly here for this case. ”

"Who can say this kind of thing clearly, that Changgong has committed suicide once, and was rescued by others, even if nothing happens this time, he may choose to die next time. ”

"What is the reason for that?"

"Of course, because of the money owed, the family can't afford to pay it back. ”

The two of them can't ask anything like this, I'm afraid that this family has already colluded to make a statement. Judging from her appearance, this woman is approachable, so it's better to chat about something else and get closer first.

"Sister, why is your house made of wood? ”

"Because I like it, I want to be quiet, it's quite elegant here, and..."

"And my sister is a Holy Spirit person, right?" Feng Xuan actually asked the question he wanted to ask directly, "Your spiritual power comes from this tree. ”

The woman was stunned, and after about half a minute, the woman spoke, "Yes, I am indeed a Holy Spirit person, but unlike you warriors, I am just a mortal spirit, I can't fight, let alone use spiritual power, it's just a name." ”

"What's this," Yin Ning said, "Holy Spirit people don't necessarily have to fight, there are many people in this world who are rich in spiritual power, and they don't use spiritual power, especially the spirits of rivers, seas, mountains, stones, flowers, plants and trees, the Holy Spirit people who are possessed by these spirits account for the majority, but how many are really very powerful? Sometimes it takes a little luck." ”

Sister Qing nodded, "Actually, I wouldn't care about this either." ”

"Indeed, who said that the Holy Spirit people must be strong and must use spiritual power freely, even in our military region, under the most scientific and rigorous training, some people are still unable to use spiritual power. Feng Xuan tried to comfort her, although this woman said she didn't care, but who really didn't care? Becoming a saint but not being able to tap into powerful spiritual power, although such examples are not uncommon, but they are enough to make people feel regretful.

Just when the two didn't know how to continue talking, the door rang again.

Sister Qing was also very curious about who would come over at this time, so she hurriedly went down to open the door, and as the sound of opening the door sounded, she heard Sister Qing's voice, "Mother, why are you here, it's still raining." ”

At this time, I heard a mother-in-law's voice, "It's raining halfway through, and I have no choice but to keep going." ”

After that, Sister Qing wiped the water on her mother's body and said, "Mother, wait a minute, there are guests above me, I will come over in a while." ”

The two of them understood that this was the mother-in-law who had come to visit their daughter, and got up to go back.

"Two, sit here, it's raining too hard for you to go. Shang Qing's eyes were full of tears, and he was afraid that he would feel distressed to see his mother coming over on this rainy day.

The two of them were embarrassed to continue to stay, but Sister Qing insisted on staying, so it was inconvenient to refuse.

"Why don't we go to the first floor and sit with grandma, and save her loneliness", Feng Xuan proposed, and Sister Qing also felt that it was okay.

When they arrived on the first floor, the two of them saw Sister Qing's mother, who seemed to have more vicissitudes than expected, with a thin figure and white hair, Sister Qing poured a cup of hot water for her mother, and looked at the basket brought by her mother by the way.

Take out the same thing in the basket, it is a side dish, and some fruit. "Mother, why are you still going up the mountain to pick these, I have everything here. Saying that, Sister Qing cried again, tears couldn't stop flowing, Feng Xuan and Yin Ning stood next to them stupidly, looking a little embarrassed, and they didn't know how to comfort them.

My mother didn't seem to have a good ear, and after listening to it again, she replied, "Didn't you say that people wouldn't let you eat spicy food because of your health?" ”

Sister Qing walked over, grabbed her mother's hand, and wiped the remaining rain on her mother's head.

Sister Qing walked up to the two of them, looked at them, and said calmly, "I have a terminal illness. ”

The two of them were completely stunned, no wonder Sister Qing looked weak and her face was very pale, but if she said that she had a terminal illness, she really couldn't think of it.

"Didn't you just ask me why I live here? My spirit comes from the Hunan sandalwood tree, this kind of tree is not uncommon in our place, since I learned that I have a terminal illness, I know that I don't have much time, my husband built such a room for me, he thinks that at least I can rely on this spiritual power to maintain, now it seems that it does have some effect, I don't know that I can live until now. ”

"Yes... I'm sorry," Yin Ning didn't know what to say anymore, he felt as uncomfortable as the person concerned, he was a good person just now, and even wanted to talk to her about what information, who would have thought that he was already a terminally ill person in the next second, and the world was really impermanent.

"Sister, why don't you take your mother over, this house is so big, it's enough to live with grandma," Yin Ning seemed a little puzzled.

"This has to start with the long run," Sister Qing took a sip of water, "my family is at the foot of the mountain in this town, the family is very poor, when I was a student, my husband and I fell in love, and decided to make a private agreement for life, but his father did not agree in any case, and in the end, it was at the insistence of my husband that this marriage was accomplished."

Later, married into the Li family, the parents of the two families rarely interacted, the parents knew that they were looked down upon by others, and the two of them were stubborn, since they couldn't look down on our family, they simply didn't meet, until later, my father fell from the mountain in order to pick herbs for Li Cheng, and his mother decided to break with the Li family completely.

And I, can't let go of my husband, he is personable and kind-hearted, he has suffered a lot of grievances for me, I know how difficult it is for us to be together, even if I am terminally ill, he did not abandon me, and built this wooden house for me, I can't just leave him like this, since the agreement is for life, there must be a good beginning and a good end, and live up to the promise in this life. My mother also knew this obsession, so she had to come to see me from afar. ”

Taking advantage of the fact that the rain was decreasing, the two decided to go back and not disturb the time when the mother and daughter were alone.

On the way back, Feng Xuan and Yin Ning were in a heavy mood, after all, they had just come into contact with a terminally ill person, even in the eyes of ordinary people, the Holy Spirit people are often healthier, but who can escape natural and man-made disasters, the so-called 'building a house to increase spiritual power' to maintain life is just a fantasy, how can spiritual power stop the decline of the physical body.

The two of them went back and briefly reported the situation to Qin Yundui, thinking that it was really necessary to investigate the circus, and also briefly mentioned the situation of the daughter-in-law of the Li family. The teammates also did not leave the house because of the rain.

Tomorrow is the day to participate in the circus, and Qin Yundui specially reminded the two of them to gather at the hotel.
