Due to the cool weather in the evening, the Xia family's dinner was held on the garden terrace on the mountainside of the manor. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, one side faces the lake, the sunset reflects the sky, the lake surface is like a mirror, the mountain light and water color, at a glance.

Dr. Peter was not qualified to attend the Xia family's family banquet, and Li Wei always stood by as a bodyguard. On the table on the terrace, there are only Xia Wenyuan, Wu Lixia, Hu Xing, Xia Xia and Aoki.

During the banquet, Xia Wenyuan asked for Aoki's bank card number, saying that he wanted to pay him and show his affection. Aoki was not polite, and wrote down the card number and handed it to the housekeeper of the Xia Mansion.

After the dinner, because Hu Xing was also going home, he sent Aoki back by the way, and did not let Li Wei drive.

Shortly after the car drove out of the manor, Aoki's cell phone rang. He opened his phone and looked at it, then looked at the screen and began to count: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6......"

"What are you doing? I'm not going to play hypnosis again, I'm driving! Hu Xing said.

Aoki counted again, touched his head and said, "Your grandfather gave me a sum of money, and there are six zeros behind the number 3." Hey, how much is six zeros? ”

"You can't find the north with such a little money? Look, you're having fun! Hu Xing snorted, thinking that Aoki was deliberately showing off.

Aoki began to count with his fingers: "One, ten, hundred, thousand, thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand...... "six fingers", and then "wow" shouted, "Three hundred thousand!" ”

Hu Xing said, "Do you know how to count?" There are six zeros behind 3, that's three million, okay! ”

"Uh......" Aoki looked at his fingers and snapped them again, as if Hu Xing was lying to him, and then opened his phone and looked at it, "It seems like it's really three million!" ”

Hu Xing shook his head and sighed, "Do you know how pigs died?" ”

Aoki shook his head with a smile, and Hu Xing held on to the steering wheel and giggled.

An unknown old English song is playing in the car stereo, and a soothing melody echoes through the cabin.

……

"What are you thinking?" Hu Xing saw that Aoki suddenly stopped talking and asked.

"Oh, I'm wondering how this money is going to be spent." Aoki said.

"Money junkies!" Hu Xing scolded with a smile, but was very curious, "How are you going to spend it?" ”

"First pay the rent and meal, buy some delicious food for the coal boss, buy two clothes that look like a woman for Ruhua, and then invite everyone to go to the Zhuangyuan Building for a meal...... Hey, do the math for me, how much will it cost? How many are left? ”

Hu Xing really has no problem with him, and he doesn't understand how this guy's brain grows. She simply stopped talking to Aoki about money, but asked about the dream: "I still don't know how I got into my grandfather's dream, you tell me." ”

Aoki said, "You won't understand what I told you." ”

Hu Xing said unwillingly: "Stingy ghost, don't talk about pulling down." ”

Aoki said, "When you can enter a lucid dreaming state steadily, think about it again." ”

Hu Xing asked, "Then how do I get into lucid dreaming?" ”

Aoki said, "It's the same process as today, except that I'm not next to you, and it's easy for you to quit." Just try a few more times, but ......"

"But what?"

"Lucid dreaming isn't a pleasant thing!" "If you can't control your subconscious well, you can't control your dreams. You can only be a waking bystander and watch what you experience in your dreams. ”

"For example, if you are standing there and the ground suddenly sinks under your feet, or you are enjoying a delicious lunch and suddenly a tiger pounces on you. These are nothing, the most annoying thing is that the reality of lucid dreams is very strong, and it is not as chaotic as ordinary dreams, and you can still clearly recall the experience in the dream when you wake up, as if it really happened. If you have these dreams too often, you are likely to become a schizophrenic and cannot tell the difference between reality and dreams. ”

Now it was Apricot Hu's turn to nod and ask, "So what should I do?" ”

Aoki said, "I now know how the pig died. ”

……

"Alright, I'm asking you something serious." Aoki changed the subject, "What happened to your grandfather's daughter?" ”

"Oh, you said my aunt!" Hu Xing sighed, "She is the only child born to my grandfather and Aunt Xia, in fact, she is not a few years older than me, and I was scolded by my mother for calling her 'sister' by mistake when I was a child!" ”

"Even though we're about the same age, we don't play much together. She was admitted to the University of California, Berkeley, and she was much better than my niece and daughter, who aspired to be a police officer. I don't know much about her, but five years ago, she suddenly came back from the United States, and for some reason she had a big fight with her family, so she ran back to the United States. ”

"And then?" Aoki asked.

Later, the family could not reach her. At first, I only thought she was angry, and I didn't care about it, until I found out that the bodyguard that my grandfather secretly arranged for her was also missing, I knew that the situation was serious, so I quickly called the police. But neither the police, nor the FBI, nor the overseas Chinese gang forces that my grandfather transferred to trust, but no one was found, and she was like evaporating from the world."

"Then how do you say that you have passed away?"

"That's what the FBI people said. About half a year after the disappearance, when they solved a case, they found my aunt's belongings, and later said that they had caught my aunt's murderer. My mother and Aunt Xia both went to the trial, and according to the murderer's confession, he just wanted to kidnap my aunt to extort a sum of money at first, but accidentally killed someone. ”

"Such a coincidence? Was the body found later? Aoki asked.

"Nope." Hu Xing said, "The American police were too inefficient, and they didn't find much evidence, so they were mixed up by the lawyer, and the murderer later retracted his confession." ”

"Acquitted?"

"Not really, there are other cases on the suspect." Hu Xing said, "But my aunt died in vain, and she is angry when she thinks about it!" ”

Aoki pieced together the bits and pieces of information, and felt a little more confident in his inner conjectures.

"Maybe your aunt hasn't died, but she has been living in Wuzhong!" He said.

"How is that possible?" Hu Xing looked at Aoki like an idiot, "Wuzhong is the base of the Xia family, and my aunt is so good, if she lives in Wuzhong, how can she not be discovered by the Xia family?" It's as funny as your coal boss mixed in with a flock of white pigeons, but you can't see it! ”

Aoki was right to think about it, so he smiled and stopped talking about the topic.

It was already late when I returned to Liuying Lane, and looking at the renovation announcement posted outside the bar, Aoki remembered that the bar was closed for the past few days.

He has always been too lazy to bring the key when he goes out, and today the door of the bar is closed, so he took out his mobile phone to call Ruhua, ready to be scolded.

But the phone never answered.

He had no choice but to go up and bang on the door, but fortunately, the nightlife on this street is still relatively rich, and he is not afraid of noisy neighbors. But he knocked for a long time and no one came to open the door.

Hu Xing looked at him at a loss and said, "Why don't you ...... Going to my place for one night? ”

"That's not good!" Aoki said.

Hu Xing felt that this guy was quite serious, and just wanted to say that she believed in him as a person, when she saw Aoki light a cigarette, leaned on the pillar of the porch, spit out a large white smoke ring, and squinted and said, "What if you lose your body!" ”

"Lose your big head!" Hu Xing was so angry that he stomped his feet, sat in the car and started the car with a bang, "Don't pull it down!" ”
