Chapter 63: Jelly Beans (Part II)
The first cat that Tang Qianlin raised in his life was called Guanxue. It was the little white cat found in the tiled house he bought when he and He Chenxue got married.
I don't know why, when Guan Xue saw Tang Qianlin for the first time, she couldn't hide at all, she staggered to Tang Qianlin's side and rubbed his ankles.
That day, it was snowing outside, and He Chenxue said to Tang Qianlin: "It lived here before us, let's keep it in the future, let's give it a name." ”
Tang Qianlin said: "It's so white, let's call it Xiaobai, right?" ”
He Chenxue smiled: "It's not good at all, eh, call it watching the snow, right?" ”
From that day until the day He Chenxue left, Guanxue accompanied them all day long.
On the day He Chenxue disappeared, Guanxue also disappeared.
Tang Qianlin went crazy and hugged Tang Zicheng, who had not yet been weaned, to look for He Chenxue everywhere, went to the police station to patrol the arrest room, and even used his own connections in the rivers and lakes, but he did not go to the Underworld to find out the news, the reason was very simple, he was afraid of getting the truth from the Underworld, which he didn't want to know.
On the seventh day after He Chenxue left, the door of Tang Qianlin's house was knocked open by Mrs. Zhang next door, and Mrs. Zhang was still holding the dying Guanxue in her hands.
Mrs. Zhang told Tang Qianlin that when she went to the street to buy vegetables, she accidentally saw Guanxue shivering at her feet at a vegetable seller's feet, and she recognized it at a glance because Guanxue often went to her house to hang out.
The vegetable seller told Mrs. Zhang that seven days ago, a woman came to the market with her luggage, and she was followed by a cat, which was Guanxue.
The woman walked two steps and stopped, squatted down and said something to Guanxue, and soon disappeared into the crowd again, the cat did not catch up with the woman, nor did she leave, but lay down in the place where the vegetable seller sold vegetables, and this lay down for seven days.
"You know mom is gone, so you're chasing her, right?" Tang Qianlin sat on the edge of the bed with Guanxue in his arms, and his eyes fell on Tang Zicheng who was sleeping soundly on the bed, "Mom is gone, don't want us anymore, you are also lost, and you can't go home." ”
For a long time, Tang Qianlin, who was extremely uncomfortable, leaned down and hugged Guanxue in his arms: "I'm also lost......
That night, Guan Xue died, and died in Tang Qianlin's arms.
The next day, Tang Qianlin found a good place, found someone to build a small coffin, buried Guanxue, and then took Tang Zicheng to start the wandering days again.
When he buried Guanxue, Tang Qianlin thought that he had buried all the memories of the past, and he kept telling himself that he only had the life of wandering the world, just like other hunts.
It's just that he didn't expect that many years ago, he found He Chenxue in Harbin and had another cat.
It's as if the memories that were buried with Guanxue have come out again.
In Liufuzhong, He Chenxue sat in Tang Zicheng's room, helped him wipe the sugar mud hanging from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and after tucking the quilt, he turned around and left the room, and called the nanny in charge of Tang Zicheng in the corridor: "Look at Young Master Dianzicheng at night, don't let him eat sugar after washing." ”
The nanny replied yes again and again, standing there, bowing her head and waiting for He Chenxue to leave.
He Chenxue then walked into the study with hot tea, but saw Liu Mou standing in front of the window, looking outside.
"Mouzheng, hot tea is here." He Chenxue brought the teacup to Liu Mouzheng.
Liu Mouzheng took the cup: "No one is as good as a daughter-in-law." ”
He Chenxue just smiled.
Liu Mouzheng sat down and put down the teacup: "Chenxue, what is the relationship between you and Tang Qianlin?" He's not your relative, is he? ”
He Chenxue said: "I know you will ask sooner or later, after all, you are the head of the Eight Phases Gate, and it is impossible for you not to hear the rumors outside." ”
Liu Mou looked at He Chenxue squarely: "I don't care what the rumors are outside, I just want to hear you in person." ”
He Chenxue said: "Tang Qianlin is my former husband, we separated after a year of marriage, and I left him. ”
After listening to this, Liu Mouzheng asked again: "What about Zicheng?" ”
He Chenxue hesitated and said, "It's my child." ”
Liu Mouzheng asked, "You and Tang Qianlin?" ”
He Chenxue hesitated for a long time: "No, it's ......"
Liu Mouzheng raised his hand and motioned for her to stop talking: "I know that Zicheng is your biological son, you are my daughter-in-law, your son is my son, I promise you that I will also treat him as my biological son." ”
When He Chenxue was about to say something again, Liu Mouzheng preemptively said: "I also promise you, I will never trouble Tang Qianlin, I can see that he still likes you, and it is easy to see that he likes a person, but he didn't do anything, and he didn't say anything to me, which proves that he doesn't treat me as an enemy, and he doesn't plan to snatch you away from me." ”
He Chenxue said: "He is a very smart, but at the same time very stupid person. ”
Liu Mouzheng smiled and said: "I don't care what kind of person he is, it has nothing to do with me, I only know that you will always be with me for the rest of my life." ”
Liu Mouzheng and He Chenxue's hands were tightly clasped together.
In the next few days, Tang Qianlin, Li Yunfan, and Yi Mochen, as in the past, went to work in the secret search class of the Security Bureau on time, and never mentioned half a word about the child during work, but just sat there all day to discuss the facts of the case that were already clear.
They knew that the Japanese had been listening and that the Japanese had been looking for the child.
So, in addition to finding Nazuka as soon as possible, there is another very troublesome thing at the moment, that is, if Nazuka uses hypnosis to make Kang Tianji tell where he came from, what will happen next?
If Kang Tianji said that he did run out of the epidemic prevention and water supply force, how would they deal with Kang Tianji?
And if Kang Tianji told them that he was from another place, how could Tang Qianlin get rid of the Japanese surveillance and go to that place without being discovered?
In addition, the Shaman Spirit Palace that Tang Qianlin tracked down needed that centipede mask, but Qian Si's whereabouts are unknown so far, what should I do about this matter? He has always been sheltered by the Japanese Navy, even if there is a conflict between the Navy and the Army, the Army does not dare to do anything to him in Qian Sinian under the protection of the Navy.
What if the Japanese Navy sends someone to make contact?
Problems and unknowns were in front of Tang Qianlin, but he didn't know what to do at all.
Five days later, Tang Qianlin and Yi Mochen returned home, and when they opened the door, they saw Jelly Bean squatting on the coffee table and sitting, with a note pressed under his front paws.
When Tang Qianlin stepped forward to get the note, Jelly Bean took the note in his mouth and looked at Tang Qianlin viciously.
At this time, Ni Xiaowan ran out of the house: "Uncle Shi, you came back just in time, Jelly Bean went out today, and when you came back, you held this note in your mouth, and didn't let me read it, I remembered that I forgot to give it dry land lotus today, and I don't know where to put it." ”
Tang Qianlin hurriedly went to his room to find out the dry land lotus, mixed it in the fish rice and served it to the jelly beans, and then the jelly beans put down the note and went to eat satisfied.
Tang Qianlin stood there with a note and looked at the gobbling up jelly beans: "I really don't know who is the master of us." ”
Yi Mochen asked, "What is written on the note?" ”
Tang Qianlin took the note and found that there was no word on the note, after thinking about it, he took out the potion he was carrying, mixed it with liquor in a ratio of three to one, put the note in, and soon the words on the note appeared-Lavas Tavern.
Ni Xiaowan said beside her: "I didn't expect Ma Yanqing to know the methods we are used to hunting. ”
Yi Mochen looked at the note: "Ma Yanqing is asking us to go to the Lavas Tavern to find him?" ”
Tang Qianlin thought for a moment and said, "Yes, maybe Nazuka is also in the Lavas Tavern. ”
Ni Xiaowan said: "But how are we going?" There were spies out there all the time. ”
Tang Qianlin took out his pocket watch: "It's okay, as long as the spies don't come in, they won't know that we're still there, so leave while it's dark." ”
Half an hour later, Tang Qianlin, Yi Mochen and Ni Xiaowan left Yi's house one after another, took advantage of the night to avoid surveillance, and went directly to the Lavas Tavern.
However, they could not inform Li Yunfan, because all the telephone lines were monitored, and calling out was tantamount to revealing their whereabouts.
At this time, Li Yunfan finally returned home, he thought about it for a few days and decided to confront his father in person, he did this just to remind his father that he had long been targeted by the Japanese puppet.
After Li Yunfan put the tea he bought on the table, Li Qingxiang finally raised his eyes to look at him: "What are you doing?" ”
Li Yunfan said: "My friend went to Guanwai on a business trip and brought Biluochun before the Ming Dynasty. ”
"A friend went to Guanwai on a business trip, and brought Biluochun before Ming? You've figured out the reasons for it, right? What month is it now? That's right, it's really before Ming. Li Qingxiang looked at the mark on the bag, "You haven't even taken off Chen Ji's mark, you are really filial." ”
Li Yunfan looked at the ground and said: "When I came back, I looked, there are still two groups of people outside taking turns staring at you, there is nothing special in the future, don't go out." ”
Li Qingxiang said: "If you don't go out, you won't go out?" ”
Li Yunfan turned his head to look at Li Qingxiang: "I mean, don't go to your people to connect." ”
Li Qingxiang pretended to be puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”
Li Yunfan sat straight and said: "Dad, the Security Bureau is not a fool, it has been eyeing you for a long time, and I also know that the last time we went to Fushun, the group of people who attacked the train on the way were sent by you, and you have already named yourself with the Japanese, don't you also admit it to Tang Qianlin?" You are from Chongqing. ”
Li Qingxiang raised his hands and stretched out to Li Yunfan: "Yes, I am from Chongqing, you can arrest me." ”
Li Yunfan wanted to confess his identity to his father, saying that he was a Communist Party and an undercover agent of the Anti-Japanese Federation lurking in the puppet Manchurians, but he couldn't say it, because things were already troublesome enough.
Li Yunfan shook his head and said: "In short, you should pay attention, the current situation in Harbin is even more severe than in the past." ”
When Li Yunfan finished speaking and was about to go out, Li Qingxiang said in a deep voice: "Yunfan, Dad will give you a chance to serve the country now, are you willing?" ”
Li Yunfan stopped and deliberately asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Li Qingxiang poured a cup of tea for Li Yunfan: "You understand what I mean, if you want, the two of us will sit down and chat, when we talk, you don't have to treat me as your father, just treat me as a friend you met by chance, a friend who wants to help you, wants to save you, and wants you to get rid of the traitor hat." ”
