Winter 1979

In the winter, the grass and trees on both sides are withered and yellow, and the sky is getting dark in the evening, and a winding dirt road, potholes, and an army green liberation truck with a shed carrying a car of people comes bumping.

The car came to a sudden stop. The co-pilot of the car got up and down a person, burly, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, wearing a military coat.

He shouted into the back compartment of the shed, and several young men in military coats jumped out of it, and several of them, along with the driver, quickly surrounded the side of the road, because there was a man lying there.

It's winter, and I don't know how long this person has been lying here.

Several people carried the unconscious man into the car.

This unconscious man, dressed in tatters, his jacket was black and shiny, he thought he had not washed it for a long time, his hair and beard were long and unkempt, his face was dark, he was very thin, he could not tell how old he was, and he looked like he had fled from the wilderness.

The people in the car rubbed his arms and legs, and the burly young man, holding a military kettle, poured some water and fed the man to his mouth. Some of the water was drunk, and some of it was sprinkled on the beard that had been rolled out.

After a while, the man exhaled lightly, slowly opened his eyes, and shouted weakly.

"Hungry."

Everyone in the car took out some food and handed it over.

This person took the food, gobbled it up, and almost didn't choke a few times in the middle, beating his back so he didn't choke to death.

After a while, I was full, and I was a little embarrassed to thank the people in the car.

"What's your name?" The burly young man asked.

The unkempt man, with a somewhat timid look, wiped the crumbs from his mouth with his dry black hand and said, "My name is Yuanyou."

"Where are you from? Why did you lie on the side of the road? ”

"I wandered around, begging for a living, and after a few days of water and rice, I fainted when I was cold and hungry."

At this time, a man in a military coat next to him said to the burly young man: "He is a vagabond, and there is a relief center in the provincial capital."

The young man looked out, and it was already dark.

"It's too far to turn back, and we're about to reach the entrance of the village. He will follow me back to the village, and when I return, I will see him off. ”

The burly young man looked at this man named Yuanyou, who was dark and dirty, and said to him.

"It's not a way to wander outside in this cold winter, you follow me, go back to the village first, make sure you don't have to starve, and wait for me to go back to the provincial capital, and then settle you?"

The person named Yuanyou hesitated at first, but looked at the clothes worn by the soldier, although he no longer had a military rank, he was a little relieved, silently agreed, and then asked in a low voice: "What do you call it?"

The burly young man said.

"My name is Luo Baifan."

In the blink of an eye, it was early in the morning, the second day of the second lunar month, and the dragon raised its head.

Among the 28 constellations, the four elephants of the eastern dragon have seven nakshatras, at the beginning of each mid-spring month, at dusk, the dragon horn star composed of the first star and the two stars of the horn appears from the eastern horizon, so it is called the dragon raising its head.

This traditional festival, there are many customs, but it is known that the second day of February shaves the dragon's head.

Luo Baifan didn't have to pay attention to shaving the faucet, but he happened to have some long hair, and there were really a lot of people in the barbershop, but fortunately he went early.

Today coincided with the weekend, and Yuanyou asked him and Su Yi to come to the house for dinner.

Luo Baifan finished cutting his hair, neatly and neatly, and just walked to the door of Yuanyou's house, the BB machine received a message.

Hurriedly knocked on the door, opened the door and went straight to the phone.

The house was filled with the fragrance of stewed meat at this time, Yuan You didn't ask too much, and went into the kitchen to mix cold dishes, and Yuan Huaxing hadn't come back yet, Su Yi might be there in a while.

Luo Baifan casually found a newspaper and a pen, wrote something on it while making a phone call, and hung up the phone after a short time.

"Yuan, that card has been found out."

Yuanyou wiped his hands on his apron and walked out of the kitchen.

"Cards? What cards. ”

"Shen Huiyan, iron box."

"Oh, what's up?"

"This card is from the United Kingdom, it is the exclusive card of a royal insurance bank, this bank has a special safe, the security level is very high, and the technology is also very advanced, and Shen Huiyan has stored one thing there."

Yuanyou looked at Luo Baifan.

"Stone plate?"

Luo Baifan nodded slightly, expressing agreement.

"Because the bank will not disclose some information, I can only find out through special channels that in 1986, Shen Huiyan rented a safe deposit box from the bank.

And this kind of safe, the collection is very strict, and the conditions for receiving it are set by him. ”

Yuanyou had a strange feeling in his heart, and he continued to listen.

"The conditions for receiving it are as follows, one is to take the insurance in person.

The other way he set it is that her daughter will collect it in person, and the recipient must be at least 18 years old, and provide fingerprints and iris scans before they can take them out, which is quite advanced. ”

"Was that thing taken out? If it is taken out, does it mean that Shen Huiyan is not dead. ”

Luo Baifan frowned.

"It was taken in 1995."

Yuan You was stunned, "Is it Shen Yuan?" ”

"Well, on the one hand, the conditions for taking it out are very strict, if it weren't for Shen Li himself, I'm afraid no one would be able to get it, on the other hand, it was found out that his daughter received it, and the procedures were quite complete, and everything was passed."

"So that means Shen Qian is still alive? It's really not dead. ”

"If someone dies, the iris scan will definitely not work, so she must be alive."

"Shen Huiyan has a safe in the UK, her daughter already knew about it, right? How I feel wrong! Yuanyou's mind quickly turned around about this matter.

Luo Baifan also paused and thought about it.

"It was really wrong, Shen disappeared in 1993 and appeared two years later at the age of eighteen.

I'm afraid this incident is not a coincidence, could it be a trap set up specifically to be able to get the contents of the safe? This girl should be used or controlled. ”

"yes, it's supposed to be a mustache." Yuanyou is convinced.

"Lao Yuan, this matter, maybe you will be right again. Your last guess should be right, and combined with the current evidence, it should be so.

The mustache learns that Shen Huiyan has stored something in the safe and asks about the conditions for taking it out.

He sent a few bad teenagers to arrest Shen Yuan, but these people killed Shen Yuan, and then the mustache killed these teenagers, but Shen Yuan was still alive until

I'm pretty much there, that's it. ”

Yuanyou nodded slightly.

If this is the case, then Shen Yuan's life and death are uncertain.

People who have no use value, will the mustache keep her alive? If she is still alive, where is she now. ”

At this time, the doorbell rang, Yuan You got up and opened the door, Yuan Huaxing came back, and Su Yi still hadn't arrived.

"It's here, Uncle Luo!"

Luo Baifan didn't notice that Yuan Huaxing's mood was a little low.

"You didn't meet Su Yi outside? This kid is almost ready to eat, and he hasn't come yet. ”

As he said that, he changed his shoes and planned to go out to have a look.

Yuan Huaxing went to the bathroom and said, "I didn't see him, I didn't know he was coming." Dad, Xiaoxue, are you closing my house again? ”

"No, no, it's an ancestor you invited back, but I like to jump on the table and pull things, my 82-year-old teacup was pushed to the ground by it a few days ago and shattered, and I was distressed to death."

Yuan Huaxing washed his hands and rushed out, "Then you didn't hit it."

Your teacup is too black to wash, so get a new one. ”

Yuanyou sighed.

"After more than ten years of tea stains, do you know how difficult it is to raise? How many 16 years can there be in life, you stinky child, you have to get back an ancestor, one day I pulled the ancestor off, I have to beat it up. ”

"Oh my God, that teacup is white porcelain, not purple sand, why are you raising tea stains.

You're lazy, don't you wash the cup seriously, okay, change it to a new one, it's so dark, I don't know how you can get your mouth. ”

Yuan You raised his thick eyebrows, "Your kid talked a little too much today, Dad's heart is dripping blood, and you can't comfort it, whether it's black or not, you also have feelings, and if you break the cup, how do you feel that you are still reasonable." ”

After speaking, he shouted into the corridor, "Lao Luo, is Su Yi here?" Come back and wait. ”

Yuan Huaxing was not in a high mood, didn't speak again, went back to the house, touched Xiaoxue, and thought thoughtfully.

Luo Baifan just walked out of the corridor and happened to see Su Yi in front of him.

The young man has lost a lot of weight recently, and he stands in front of the door of the building in a daze.

"Just here? Don't dare to go in? The meal is ready, just waiting for you, go. ”

Su Yi seemed to want to make his face better, and he breathed a long sigh of relief before entering the door, squeezing out a little smile on his face.

Su Yi followed behind Luo Baifan and entered Yuanyou's house.

From Luo Baifan's mouth, Yuanyou already knew about Su Yi's situation, so when he saw that he was not in a good mood, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Yuanyou knew what it meant for the young man to come to 102, which was once the place where Shen Qian lived.

He shook his head, feeling that Su Yi was still a child with a lot of feelings, otherwise it would be impossible to be so sad.

"Xiao Su, don't be late in the future, go wash your hands, let's eat."

Su Yi squeezed out a little smile, and Yuan Huaxing also came out of the house, and the two looked at each other, maybe they were not in a very good mood, so they just nodded to each other.

Luo Baifan looked at the two of them like this, and wondered a little, Su Yi knew what was going on, but Yuan Huaxing also looked preoccupied.

At the dinner table, Su Yi and Yuan Huaxing almost didn't speak, only Yuanyou and Luo Baifan clinked glasses, drank wine, and were quite happy, and they couldn't discuss anything at the dinner table, because there were many things that the two children didn't know, and soon, the meal was over.

Yuanyou still had something to say to Luo Baifan, and Yuanhuaxing asked Su Yi to come to her house to see Xiaoxue.

Su Yi touched Xiaoxue's supple hair, Xiaoxue put his hand on his head, purring and snoring, and he finally showed some smiles.

"The little animal is very healing, I see that you are in a bad mood, and you can forget your troubles by touching it." Yuan Huaxing looked at Xiaoxue and said.

"It seems that you are not in a good mood, but you are young, what can be a big deal."

Yuan Huaxing exhaled lightly, "Troubles are regardless of age, not to mention..."

She didn't say any more, and Su Yi seemed to remember something.

"You know what? I came here a few years ago and knocked on your door. ”

Yuan Huaxing thought that Su Yi was joking, but when he saw his somewhat sad eyes, he felt that there must be something in it. He was probably talking about the people who used to live in this house.

"Do you know the original owner of this house?"

Su Yi nodded.

"The girls who used to live here are the ones I like."
