"Tai Sui..."Ji Ran frowned and glanced at Tao Xueqi.

"Cure all diseases, prolong life, attract wealth and luck, and live forever..."Zhang Qining said a series of words slowly, paused, took a sip of soy milk, and said: "The folk saying about Tai Sui is reliable and unreliable can pile up a small mountain." This thing, which does not know the true face of Lushan, gathers almost all people's fantasies. ”

"Fantasy? In other words, Tai Sui actually doesn't have these uses? Ji Ran said.

Zhang Qining tilted his head, lowered his eyes and picked out the breakfast pastries in the food box, took a small and delicate purple potato cake with four petals, and said, "I don't know." I haven't seen Zhentai Sui, and I don't know what he looks like or what he does. Although most of the folk sayings are too superstitious, one out of ten sentences is probably true. ”

She took a bite of the purple potato cake and thought it tasted good, so she took a piece and handed it to Zhan Suiyu. "Taste it, it tastes good."

Zhan Suiyu took it with a smile, and regretted it a little as soon as he entered. It's so sweet, I'm afraid it's not a piece of pastry with a spoonful of sugar, right? Zhang Qining is a little sweet, so naturally he doesn't feel that there is anything wrong.

"Suzhou Zang family, the previous head of the family Zang Shuping used children to make fake Tai Sui, but it was only a semi-finished product and could attract fortune for him, if it was true, the effect might be better. Although I don't know where he learned that method, using living people as materials is undoubtedly an evil art. ”

Speaking of this, she raised her eyes to look at Tao Xueqi. Ji Ran noticed her gaze, looked over, and saw Tao Xueqi smiling faintly, as if expecting her to say something below.

Zhang Qining lived up to her expectations and continued: "According to what I found, Zang Shuping started abducting children twenty-five years ago, and he happened to come to Zhengzhou once before that, doing business with the Tao family. Soon after he returned, Suzhou began to lose his children. Do you think it's just a coincidence? ”

"Qi Ning, what's going on?" Zhan Suiyu couldn't help but be stunned. Did Zang Shuping have contact with Tao in Zhengzhou?

Zhang Qining: "Although the Zang family is in the pawn business, sometimes Zang Shuping will buy some rare things from other places, and he also picks expensive ones. The porcelain business of the Tao family was as good as the sky, and it was almost a monopoly. I don't know how many treasures have been fired from their kilns, and many people have spent a lot of money to buy the next batch of goods in advance. ”

"Wouldn't it be a pity to buy like this in case you don't like it?" Zhan Suiyu estimated the value of a piece of porcelain from the Tao family in his heart, and thought that it was no wonder that the Tao family was making gold every day.

Batches and batches are like selling wholesale, and they are still sold high. No wonder there was an accident in the Tao family back then, and none of the peers squeaked. With such a rival here, they can't do business at all.

"No one buys it to return? If it were me, I wouldn't have paid if I didn't like it. If you can't get it back after paying the deposit, I won't use any of the money to buy a bunch of parallel goods. ”

Zhang Qining smiled, "You don't have to worry about this." I was puzzled about what you said when I learned about it, but to my surprise, after checking the transaction of Dow, I found that at least on the surface, none of them were returned because they were not satisfied.

It is said that buying the potter's porcelain, the moment the kiln opens, is like gambling on stones, you may buy porcelain far more than the value of the money you paid, or you may be disappointed. ”

"So someone buys it?" Ji Ran was a little incomprehensible, "It's all about luck, it's better to take the money and go to the Tao family's shop to pick one that you will definitely like, isn't it?" ”

Zhang Qining shook his head, "Gambling, the reason why it is attractive is because although it is high-risk, it has a large and fast profit. And the difference is that there will inevitably be a treasure in a batch of porcelain from the Tao family.

For those who are obsessed with it, it is definitely worth the price of a whole shipment of rare porcelain and leftover ordinary porcelain. For there were once three treasures in a batch of freshly fired porcelain at the same price.

Anyway, there will be a guarantee, and the rest can be taken out and sold to others, anyway. If they can be like the guy who opened the three, they will definitely make a profit. With such a temptation, it is natural that many people are willing to come. ”

"There's bound to be a treasure in every batch. The general level of porcelain can be guaranteed, but if you want to make a treasure, you have to pay great attention to the porcelain clay used in the raw materials, the technique of the maker, the heat in the kiln and even the location, even if all the conditions are the same, the person who succeeds once cannot guarantee that he will succeed a second time. In the kiln, half of it still depends on luck. Is this really possible? "Anyway, Zhan Suiyu thinks it's unlikely, which means that it is indeed strange. Something to do with Tai Sui?

"That's all I can see, and the rest may as well listen to what Miss Tao has to say." With that, she looked at Tao Xueqi. "Miss Tao, it's your turn."

Tao Xueqi smiled, the rouge on the inside of her lips was very strong, but it did not look gaudy on her lips, but made her skin more delicate and fair.

"More than twenty years ago, I was only about eleven years old at the time, and I can't even remember what I can't remember, but you can still find out so much."

Zhang Qining didn't care, and said: "As long as something has happened in this world, there is always a way to find out, not to mention that it has only been more than twenty years, and many people who knew about it back then are still alive." I happened to know about Zang Mansion again, and after a little inquiry, I could guess somewhat.

It's just that the specific details, and the truth, are not based on speculation. Sometimes even the result process is the same guess, but in the end it is wrong. People are unpredictable, and no one can know what they were thinking when they were doing these things. ”

"You are really smart, and when you say this, it is clear that the events of the past 20 years or so seem to be vivid in my mind. It helps me remember a lot of things. Tao Xue Qi said.

"Don't thank me, I didn't want to help others." After saying a lot of words, Zhang Qining took a sip of soy milk.

"I'm not going to thank you for reminding me of those things." Tao Xueqi: "It's indeed the reason for Tai Sui, the last head of the Tao family got a real Tai Sui, but in the end, the whole family died in a fire, I really don't know whether to say that he was lucky or unlucky." ”

"Is it really Tai Sui?" Zhang Qining was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but be a little curious, she had never seen that thing before. "Is it still there? Is it because the Tao family was not turned into a murderous house by evil? If so, I'd like to take a look. ”

"What's so hard about that?" Tao Xueqi's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and there was still a smile on her lips.

"Where?"

A trip to Zhengzhou to see the living Tai Sui is really unexpected. Zhan Suiyu looked at the curious baby Zhang Qining who had his eyes shining and couldn't help but smile. How old are they, and they still look like children. The most important thing is that she has never shown such an expression to him, and he is no better than a Tai Sui?

Zhang Qining urged and said that he wanted to see it, but Ji Ran thought of the scene where Tao Xueqi killed those women in the cottage, and the black gas coming out of her palm was not something ordinary people could do.

Could it be...

Ji Ran's heart suddenly lifted, and he heard Tao Xueqi say: "Far away in the sky, close in front of you." His heart sank suddenly, and he was sure that he had heard correctly.

Zhan Sui Yu and Zhang Qi Ning Gu were dumbfounded, Zhan Sui Yu soybean milk was halfway through drinking and suddenly had a meal in his hand, Zhang Qining looked at her motionlessly, frowned and said in disbelief: "You? ”

"What? Can't you? Tao Xueqi smiled, "Why is the head of the Zang family looking for a child?" Because he thought it was a tribute for a living sacrifice, but in fact he only guessed half of it correctly, so it was a half-hearted, and finally put himself in it. ”

"Guessing only half correctly means that the child is indeed a tribute, but not just a tribute. Or maybe the child is not used as a tribute at all, but for other purposes. Zhan Suiyu couldn't help but say, but her brows tightened.

"That's right, it's worthy of being a consultant for the government case, and my brain is really fast." Tao Xueqi praised sincerely.

"As long as you know the method, you can directly invite Tai Sui?" Zhang Qining asked.

Tao Xueqi: "How can it be so easy, the Tao family has spent hundreds of years on this matter, and it has only succeeded once." ”

"Whether it's true or not, children are definitely needed. Zang Shuping sacrificed so many innocent children for a fake Tai Sui, if the Tao family really spent hundreds of years on this matter, how could they not alarm the Zhengzhou government at all. ”

Zhan Suiyu couldn't figure it out, but there had never been a volume of unsolved and strange cases he had seen over the years, which recorded a large number of children in Zhengzhou who were lost and searched for to no avail.

"Tut-tut." Tao Xueqi chuckled and shook her head, "So, good people can't be compared with evil people." Wicked people can always come up with different ways to achieve their goals regardless of the bottom line.

If someone else's child is lost, of course someone will be in a hurry. Your own child disappeared inexplicably, and outsiders won't worry about you. Many of the Tao family leaders are quite romantic, and the Tao family has developed into such a big family back then, and they have contributed a lot. ”

After Tao Xueqi finished speaking, she also added that which generation worked particularly hard, accepted more than a dozen famous concubines, raised an unknown number of outer rooms outside, and gave birth to many children.

"It's a pity that the children who can't be counted with one pair of hands are still too many to count on the last hand."

Ji Ran's face changed, "You mean, they-"

Tao Xueqi had a smile on her face, but she sneered outright.

"Yes, the head of the Zang family uses other people's children to try, and the Tao family uses his own blood and bones to try. It's incredible, they all say that the love of parents will be far-reaching for them. This is really far-reaching, from the time he was not born, before he was born, how to kill him.

Back then, I really couldn't see any difference between people and the poultry that were slaughtered and cooked. Ji Ran, do you say the difference between humans and beasts? ”

"Wait a minute. You just said that you are Tai Sui, but in the dark room, you also said that you are indeed the real Tao Xueqi, what is going on? If you are really too old, how can you be Tao Xueqi? Zhang Qining couldn't figure it out, and Ji Ran's gaze at her was even more incredible.

It's not that she's asking the wrong question, but is it time to think about that kind of question? Hearing what she just said, she wasn't touched at all? This is also cold-blooded.

Ji Ran looked at Zhan Suiyu and saw Zhan Suiyu with an expression that he was used to.

"The past cannot be traced, although it is sad and shocking, but we can not do anything about the things that have passed."

Ji Ran, who was comforted by Zhan Suiyu, felt that the world suddenly became a little strange, and what they said was right. But can human life be so lightly revealed?

Zhang Qining said before that she and Tao Xueqi were a little similar, but it wasn't until this moment that Ji Ran really felt what she said about "likeness". And what is the difference between himself and Zhan Suiyu, he can't accept this kind of crazy behavior in his heart, and Zhan Suiyu can't accept it, but he doesn't bother about this kind of thing.

After all, this matter has been submerged in the dust of the past with the Tao family, and no matter how much righteous indignation there is, it will not help, and their focus this time is not this matter.

In other words, Zhan Sui Yu is a person who can carry it clearly. So Zhang Qining can accept it, because he knows what he wants and never escapes.

It's like he's an advisor to the government, and he's supposed to solve the problem. And he is a wanderer, and he only has a chivalrous heart, but before that, he didn't know what was good and what was evil.

But that's just from the past, from now on he will be different. If you don't understand, you can learn, you can understand.

He looked at Tao Xueqi, and a bright light rose from the depths of his eyes, and Tao Xueqi couldn't help but be stunned when he saw it.

Shouldn't Ji Ran be incredulous and disgusted after listening to it, why would he look at himself with such eyes? She suddenly remembered what Zhang Qining said to herself in the dark room.

"Ji Ran, who is thought to be fraternity by others, is actually a person who only knows how to preference, the world in his eyes is black and white, you are like the first person you meet at the junction of black and white, he will change because of you."

This is not a fair choice, Ji Ran's heart fell on Tao Xueqi, and there was no fairness at all. However, as long as you are still in this world, you will encounter all kinds of things that you did not expect, and they will forcibly break into your life and change your original trajectory.

Ji Ran didn't have a choice, although he was hesitant, but from that moment on, his black and white had already been abandoned. Tao Xueqi, you just have to wait. ”

It won't be long before he'll catch up with you.

"Ji Ran?" Tao Xueqi asked him with her eyes.

Ji Ran smiled faintly at her and said, "And then?" I wonder what happened next. ”

Tao Xueqi was stunned, lowered her eyes, and pursed her lips into a slightly upward arc. She looked at Zhang Qining and shook her head.

If he catches up, I'll walk after him.

Zhang Qining didn't understand what she meant at first, and then slowly understood. couldn't help laughing silently, although they were different, they were really the same kind of people. When you see the light in the dark, you don't just look at it but chase it.

With a heart full of joy in her eyes, she turned her head to look at Zhan Suiyu, a handsome boy who loved to wear red and white matching clothes.

"What's wrong?" Zhan Suiyu walked up to her and asked in a low voice.

Zhang Qining said with a smile: "I know a little bit what it means to 'once Songhai is difficult to be water, but Wushan is not a cloud'." ”

Zhan Suiyu glanced at Ji Ran and Tao Xueqi, and said: "Ji Ran, this kid can figure out that it is not easy to get to this point, if he really misses Tao Xueqi, I am afraid that he will regret it for the rest of his life." ”

"Not because of them."

Zhan Sui Yu looked at him, Zhang Qining's eyebrows were bent, his clear eyes were as quiet as a lake, and at this moment they were as bright as black gems.

"It's because of you."

"Every sentence of lovesickness I read is because of you."

Zhan Suiyu was only stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing, the outline of his handsome face was angular and angular, so that Zhang Qining couldn't take his eyes off. The reddish ears betrayed the shyness and surprise in his heart, and the smile was warm and bright, full of the smell of sunshine.
