Volume VII

Thirteen rivers of autumn fall

The warm glow of spring is gradually becoming clearer. Wisps of sprinkling on people's faces. Warm and full of happiness. The devastated city is gradually showing its vitality. Unsuspecting citizens are still busy doing their own thing. As if nothing had happened. For most people. All they can see is themselves

Crowded streets. A strangely dressed man has attracted a lot of attention. A shabby armor makes him incompatible with the urban atmosphere. The shaggy hair that has gone gray tells people that he is over half a hundred years old. The messy stubble shows the sloppiness and casualness of this person. Beside him was a little girl who was silent with her head buried in her head. She's pretty smart. It makes the man with a full face next to him look even more unassuming. People avoided him. I couldn't help but whisper. A little boy who walked across from the man "fluttered" and smiled at the sight of him. Holding his mother's finger and pointing at the man, he shouted:

"Mom. This uncle looks like the bad guy in Pirates of the Caribbean."

The young mother hurriedly covered the boy's mouth with a panicked look. Hurriedly walked away with him in his arms. The little girl next to the man was sweating with a calm face. Glancing at the man beside him with his eyes. Subconsciously move a few steps outward. At the same time, he lowered his voice and said:

"I said you have to dress up like this. Tang Peng."

For the reaction of passers-by. Tang Peng also seemed to feel uncomfortable. Bite the bullet and bend out the usual seriousness:

"I have my reasons (because I'm wanted), and I paid for this makeup, and he said it's the most popular style at the moment."

"You have to spend money to buy makeup, your friend is really personal. What's the name?"

"Chen Weiwei."

I don't know when. A legend spread in the southern suburbs: one day. The inhabitants of the land are angry with the gods because of their greed. So the gods took away the rain that nourished the earth. Drying up a river of water that the local population relied on for their livelihoods. Drought has claimed countless lives like a plague. The elders and the devout residents begged the heavens to return the water to them. However. Time passes day by day. The drought continues day by day. People are desperate. Then. A beautiful woman came to the river. Merciful, she vows to use her tears to move the heavens to save the inhabitants. The woman kept crying by the river with sincere tears. I don't know how many days have passed. Tears turned to blood. Drops of blood moisten the parched riverbed. At the time when she shed her last tears. The river gushes out of the bottom of the riverbed. Turning into sweet nectar moistens the throats of the already desperate inhabitants. And the woman was lying in the river because of her exhaustion. The river gently protected her body as it fell to the bottom of the river. At that moment. Someone called her "Qiuluo". Residents have also forgotten the name of the river before. Just remember that it is called "Autumn Falling River", and the clear water of the river has become reddish because of this. Some people say that it was a woman's undried tears

"Young Master. It's a mess out there these days. Why do you have to come here?" A person like a bodyguard said while protecting a teenager next to him. Eyes vigilantly look around to the left and right.

The teenager looks like he is about nineteen years old. The arrogant face hides a pair of bright eyes. He is none other than Wan Li. Because the recent negative reports about Tang Peng on TV and in the newspapers made him very angry. Always shouting to go to the radio station to help his master seek justice. His father was not at ease. And because of the turmoil in the city these days. He arranged a bodyguard for him. He was also restricted from moving around the city. Wanli really can't stand it. I came to the southern suburbs of the autumn river under the pretext of distraction. Because this was the last place he learned that Tang Peng had been to, Wan Li glared at the bodyguard very upset. yelled at him impatiently:

"You shut up for me. Scattered hearts are hard to follow. Sure enough, it's exactly like your name, Yan Fan (tired) of dead people. I don't care what kind of sanda champion you are. I'm going to kick you to death if I provoke you."

"My name is Yang Fan. Young Master." The bodyguard doesn't seem to be angry. After politely correcting Wan Li, he still looked around Wan Li vigilantly. Even if someone accidentally touches Wanli, it will be regarded as an ulterior motive.

Wanli really got impatient with him. Open your mouth and prepare to scold him. But at this time. His eyes were drawn to something. stared straight at a place not far behind Yang Fan. Yang Fan turned around and looked. A girl stands coldly by the river of "Autumn Falling River". His face was as cold as ice. A pair of emotionless eyes quietly watched the gently flowing river. Although Yang Fan was very curious about that girl. But more concerned about the safety of Wanli. I want to say something back. Wan Li hurriedly made a shut up gesture for him. whispered:

"The girl's eyes are blank. The face is cold. At first glance, you know that you are looking for a short-sighted view. I crept over to persuade her. Don't come along. lest she be irritated. Stay here."

Talking. Wan Li carefully moved towards the girl. The girl glanced at him with her eyes. There was no change in his face. Still looking at the river coldly. A face as cold as ice. Inscrutable eyes. This girl is Zhang Huaitian's sister Zhang Lu Wan Li just moved in front of her. A voice that was so cold that there was no emotion was already ringing in his ears:

"When the harvest of autumn turns into the cold of winter. When everything gets dark. Don't be fooled. Don't let and confusion cover your eyes. You have to learn to believe. To see what you can't see"

Wan Li was confused by her inexplicable words. It doesn't matter how many either. Walked over lightly and kindly persuaded her:

"Miss. It's out of love. Actually, I'm too.But there's a lot more to life.Can't give up the whole forest because of a tree.As the saying goes, there's no grass at the end of the world.Why bother looking for it.It seems to be getting farther and farther.But no matter what.It's a very stupid thing for you to give up your life so easily.In life."

Zhang Lu raised his eyes to look at him. There were countless things in those empty eyes. But I can't understand it. Said lightly to Wan Li:

"When the harvest of autumn turns into the cold of winter. When everything gets dark. Don't be fooled. Don't let and confusion cover your eyes. You have to learn to believe. To see what you can't see. There will always be a day when the sky illuminates the dark shadows. The test will begin in the place where the fall falls, and I ask you to tell him what you said above."

After speaking. Zhang Lu turned around and left without looking back. Wanli is completely blinded. It took a long time to spit out a sentence:

"Please speak Chinese"

Zhang Lu has gradually walked away. Wan Li woke up and hurriedly chased after him, shouting behind his back:

"Who do you want me to tell you?"

"Tang Peng." Zhang Lu, who disappeared into the crowd, left these two words coldly

Fourteen reunions

Yang Fan saw Wan Li standing there alone in a daze. I couldn't help but walk over and ask:

"Young Master. She's not looking for a short-term view."

"Ahh Ahh Wan Li woke up. Bite the bullet and say." After some persuasion from me. She's figured it out. There was nothing wrong with my reasoning. She's really looking for a short-sightedness."

"The young master is so powerful. I'm sure I'll be a detective in the future." Yang Fan couldn't help but have some changes in his opinion of Wanli.

Wanli swallowed. Instead, his face turned red. Then. Just listen to the "plop" in your ears. When she reacted, a girl was already struggling in the water. Wan Li didn't even want to jump in to save people. But as soon as I got out of the water, I remembered a very serious thing. I can't swim myself

It took Yang Fan and the kind people who passed by to work hard for most of the day to save Wanli and the girl. As soon as Wan Li was rescued, he got up without any trouble. Startled Yang Fan and the onlookers. He didn't care about the girl who jumped into the river. When he saw the girl's face. The whole thing was stunned. A few words came out of his mouth vaguely:

"Sister-in-law Chang Jing."

It turned out that the girl was Chang Jing. Wan Li measured Chang Jing's snort with a trembling hand. It's so faint that it's almost nothing. Sweat poured from his forehead. Basic common sense tells him. In this case, artificial respiration is the only way to do it. Wan Li aimed at the unconscious Chang Jing with a squinted eye. The sun was reflected in the river on her face. So cute. Wan Li's head was completely empty. Mouthful of spit. Yang Fan next to him didn't know what was wrong with him. Turned his head to look at Chang Jing, whose life was in danger. Don't have time to think about it. Leaning down to give her artificial respiration. But suddenly there was a gust of fist wind in my ears. He instinctively dodged it. Looking at the angry Wan Li:

"Young Master. What's wrong with you."

"Who dares to take advantage of Master Tang Peng's girlfriend, I will play with him." Wan Li yelled at him.

"What. She's the girlfriend of that perverted demon Tang Peng." Yang Fan instinctively frowned.

Wan Li heard what he said. Without saying a word, he directly used an unruly fist to kick Yang Fan indiscriminately. Yang Fan couldn't fight back, so he had to catch Wan Li's hand and glance at Chang Jing with his eyes. Signal him to save people. Wan Li immediately threw him to your side. Helped Chang Jing to stay there at a loss:

"Master, please forgive me. It's not that I'm disrespectful. It's a last resort now. Oh my God. Why are you torturing me like this. Is there retribution for a person who is too handsome and talented?"

The person next to him sweated. I don't know what to say. Just when Wan Li made up his mind to kiss down. Chang Jing suddenly coughed. Spit out a few mouthfuls of river water. I woke up in a daze. As soon as I saw the pursed mouth come towards me

"Ahh Chang Jing shouted. Then slap it in the face." Satyr."

After a while of explanation. Chang Jing apologized to Wan Li again and again. Wan Li touched his red face. I don't know why. I regret that I didn't make up my mind to kiss it earlier. I had to say stiffly:

"It's fine. To become a detective for someone who has never been beaten by a girl. I also want to thank you for helping me through this episode. Aren't you with the master? Why can't you think of it?"

Chang Jing lifted her tearful eyes. Whimpering and speechless. Wanli has a soft heart:

"Could it be that the master has snubbed you. Feel relieved. I understand this person. He's definitely going to be in the future."

"They said that Brother Tang Peng is dead," Chang Jing's tears fell. soaked through the clothes." I. I'm not at ease on it. I hid from Chen Weiwei's brother and secretly came back alone, but when they arrived at the detective agency. They told me that Brother Tang Peng was dead. I don't want Brother Tang Peng to die."

Wan Li was taken aback. When I came back to my senses, I thought that someone who didn't know might have lied to Tang Peng's story about Cheng Shuai's death. Immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Just about to explain. But when the words came to my mouth, I couldn't say anything. Because another fact is absolutely unacceptable to Chang Jing

Suddenly. There was another sound of falling water by the river. Everyone gathered by the river to have a look. I saw an old lady who probably accidentally fell into the water because of a stumble. This time. When I saw that it was an old lady who had fallen into the water. People looked at each other silently. Not a single one wants to go into the water. Wan Li scolded. I'm going to jump again." A figure had already jumped in front of Wanli

After the man rescued the old woman. I don't mind giving her artificial respiration. The old grandmother slowly woke up. Just about to say thank you. But when he saw the face of the man who saved her." A mouthful of spit sprayed in his face:

"I knew you were the one who saved me. I might as well be dead. You murderer Tang Peng."
