Chapter 5: "You're a Kyogen Master"
Teach homework, teach homework.
Teach homework.
Only then did Shi Zuo understand that the so-called "teaching homework" was to write the homework of three people by himself.
He curled up in the corner of Fu Ying'er's room.
The only thing that accompanies me is a small low table and homework.
It wasn't what he wanted.
Outside this corner, a circle has been made with bits and pieces of hairpins, hair rings, and bracelets.
- If she dares to take a step out of the circle, she will go to the kitchen to find her mother and shout indecent, this is Fu Yinger's statement.
- If she hadn't helped the two of them finish their homework, the white pill that Lala had just given him was completely bought by her own personal efforts, she would never tell herself the correct usage, this is what Liu Yanshi said.
And the two women were already playing Forest Ice and Fire Man around the computer.
The giggles are retarded like a three-year-old.
This metaphor is sorry for the three-year-old.
Shi Zuocai sighed deeply.
He took his phone out of his pocket and put the earbuds on, blocking out the noisy laughter of the two women.
He opened the library and played the only song it had in it.
Aria on the G string.
This piece is known as the most rational symphony in classical music. Shi Zuo is the martyr of reason. He firmly believed that the essence that distinguishes human beings from animals lies in reason. When he is in an impetuous mood, this piece can help calm him down.
Turning up his voice to the maximum, his soul was immersed in the river of reason, while his physical body, was doing his homework.
The woman in the room was smiling happily. The game was cleared, and he took out his hand to eat chicken.
No one remembers Shi Zuocai.
Time passes slowly.
The two women went out a few times in the middle and brought back two cups of milk tea. The sun slanted and shone through the windowsill of the room on the pure white lattice bricks. The aroma of food wafted outside the door. The temperature rose, Liu Yanshi took off the sweater on his upper body, brought up the corners of the close-fitting vest, and the white waist navel and underwear loomed. The weather was dry, and there was static electricity on her body, and her fingertips touched Fu Ying'er's bare shoulders, and the two of them shuddered and giggled again.
Shi Zuocai's pen tip moved up and down the workbook, unaware of all this.
There was a lot of banging on the door in the living room, accompanied by scolding. Liu Yanshi opened the door to look. Fang Qing went back to the bedroom to find the room key. The food on the living room table was steaming. The key was inserted into the door lock of the study, and the handle was turned, but it could not be opened. Fu Yinger also walked out of the room. Shi Zuo raised his head slightly.
The three women pushed the door of the study hard, and the door frame was covered with dense duct tape, and they were all coughing. Fang Qing walked inside.
A piercing scream followed.
Fang Qing knelt on the ground, her face was full of horror, Fu Ying'er fell to the door, Liu Yanshi helped her up, covering her mouth with one hand, still coughing.
On the tatami mat in the middle of the study, Fu Sizhe folded his hands on his abdomen, his eyes closed, and his expression was peaceful.
Next to it is a roaring charcoal basin.
Frightened cries and coughs mingled.
The shocking picture impacted the thoughts of the three women, and for a while no one knew what to do, Fang Qing crawled forward, trying to pull Fu Sizhe up, and an indifferent, but undoubted voice came from behind him.
"Get out of the way."
Liu Yan looked at Shi Zuocai in surprise.
Shi Zuocai walked towards the study, taking off his coat.
"Liu Yanshi, go open the window."
Liu Yan was stunned for only a moment, and immediately did so.
Shi Zuocai wrapped his clothes in his hands, picked up the hot charcoal basin, a piece of coal fell to the ground, he stepped on it hard, and turned his head to look at Fu Yinger:
"Where's the balcony?"
Fu Ying'er stared at him helplessly, her eyes empty. Shi Zuocai shouted again:
"Balcony!"
Fu Ying'er shuddered, instinctively hurriedly stood up, and ran all the way to the balcony with Shi Zuocai, he put the charcoal basin on the ground, and decisively closed the door of the balcony. Shi Zuocai walked back to the room, asked Liu Yanshi to help, carried Fu Sizhe on his back, put it on the floor in the living room, and called Fu Ying'er to close the study door again.
Fu Yinger regained her senses a little and took out her mobile phone:
β120β¦β¦ 120 ......"
Shi Zuocai put his fingers between Fu Sizhe's nose, lowered his head and leaned over his chest to listen to his heartbeat, his face gloomy. Fang Qing seemed to have completely lost consciousness, slumped by the wall, her eyes open, her mouth slightly open. Liu Yan looked around, ran to Fu Yinger's room and took out a fan, turned on the wind to the maximum against the wall, and ran to open the window in the living room.
Fu Yinger put the phone to her ear, pursed her lips, and tears fell down in large numbers.
"Hey...... 120 ......"
After waiting for a while, the phone was connected, and as soon as she said two words, she heard Shi Zuocai's eager shout:
"Wait a minute! Hang up the phone! β
Fu Ying'er was stunned, and then Shi Zuo shouted again:
"Hang up the phone! Fast! β
Fu Yinger couldn't think anymore, obeyed what he said, and hung up the phone.
There was silence in the room, and the eyes of several people unconsciously fell on Shi Zuocai.
Shi Zuocai's expression was solemn, and he carefully broke Fu Sizhe's overlapping fingers and pulled out an envelope.
On the envelope, it is clearly written with a marker:
Don't call for help.
Shi Zuo turned his head and saw Liu Yanshi's gaze stopped on the letter in a daze.
She finally stopped laughing.
Shi Zuo handed her the letter and stepped back in silence.
β¦β¦
"Sunny, Ying'er.
I have to go. This is a decision that I have been thinking about for a long time and thinking about for a long time.
Excuse me, I'm sorry. For the frustration my family has experienced during this time, and for my selfish departure.
You may not forgive me. But for me, and perhaps for you, this is the only way to let the dust settle.
Please also believe that I have many regrets in my life, but this time I have no regrets. I have left three insurance policies and the beneficiary is Yinger. When I'm gone, you mothers and daughters will be able to live a stable life.
Qing, don't blame yourself for this. You should live happily according to your own wishes.
Ying'er, there is still a long way to go, may you have a good life.
and:
If Xiaoyan sees this letter, let me say I'm sorry.
I have affected the Liu family a lot, and I have not been spared in the end. β
Fang Qing sat next to the wall, her hands trembling so hard that she couldn't hold the thin piece of paper. She covered her mouth and nose with her hands and let out a whimper. Her shoulders were shaking like a silent volcano.
Shi Zuocai frowned, and her expression made Shi Zuocai think of Li Lijuan. He turned his head, and caught a glimpse of Fu Ying'er sitting on a chair and bending over, burying her face on the table. He slowly stood up and unscrewed the doorknob of his study.
Liu Yanshi hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and patted Fang Qing's shoulder to show comfort. Fang Qing sobbed for a while, and finally opened her mouth.
"What is this...... What kind of ...... is this?"
Liu Yan was stunned and opened his mouth. The woman's intuition told her that there was something wrong with Fang Qing's tone.
Shi Zuocai's hand that pushed the door to the door froze in the air. He turned around quietly, his gaze through the crack in the door, and shot at the people in the room.
"What is this...... Leaving so much mess behind, just dead like this......"
ββ¦β¦ Fu Sizhe, this bastard...... He wants us to die with us! The shouting turned to a wail and a cry.
"I obviously owe so much money to others, and if it's gone, it's gone, I work two jobs a day, and when I get home, I have to cook and cook, when did he ever understand me? Ying'er has grown so big, when did he care? He's asking for the lives of our mother and daughter! β
Fang Qing banged her head against the wall again and again, the sound was very loud, and her expression was extremely painful, Liu Yanshi squatted down and hugged her sadly.
"Mother Fang...... Don't ...... like that"
Fang Qing looked crazy, struggled a few times, and still slammed into the wall desperately, Liu Yan couldn't resist her, and the back of the hand blocking her forehead was hit red. It wasn't until she heard Fu Ying'er crying out "Mom-" that she calmed down a little.
Liu Yanshi sniffed, his eyes flushed.
"Mother Fang...... Calm down and tell me first, what happened in your family during this time? β
Fang Qing's eyes were glazed and he smiled dejectedly.
"Huh...... What else could it be...... What else could it be......"
"Two years ago, the surname Fu suddenly told our mother and daughter that he had been secretly embezzling the company's public funds in the past few years, and was discovered, and he had to make up for the company's shortcomings, otherwise he would have to go to jail - I already felt that something was wrong...... With his ability...... With his ability, where can he make so much money......"
At that time, Ying'er had just taken over the second play, and it was still on the rise...... We had no choice but to swallow our anger and sell our house in Tianhe and move back here...... We don't have a lot of deposits, and Fu Sizhe is still sending them out, saying that the deficit is very big and he hasn't made up for it...... I have lost all the dowry I have saved for Ying'er over the years...... Divorce and can't leave, his affairs are exposed, and Ying'er's future will be ruined......"
"He is so righteous and awe-inspiring, but in fact he is an irresponsible coward! Now that he's dead, and the money can't be compensated, Ying'er and I are finished...... Bastard...... He's a bastard! β¦β¦β
The more Fang Qing spoke, the more excited she became, and she couldn't stop crying. Her face was buried in Liu Yanshi's arms, but she didn't dare to turn her head when she spoke. On the ground two or three meters away, Fu Sizhe was still lying there calmly.
Fu Yinger took off her shoes, curled up on the chair, hugged her calves and didn't speak.
Liu Yanshi had a very complicated look on his face, and glanced at Fu Sizhe in confusion, his face was serene, and the ruddy on his face had not yet faded. She pursed her lips:
"Mother Fang...... Fearless. I can make up for how much you owe, money is not a problem......"
"No...... No...... Fang Qing cried again:
"We've done too much to your family...... Once upon a time, too...... The same happened ten years ago...... If we had known earlier...... I didn't dare to tell you about it for the past two years, I just didn't want to disturb you......"
Liu Yanshi gritted his teeth:
"Even so, Uncle Fu has left you three insurance benefits......
"It's useless."
Suddenly, the voice of Shi Zuocai, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly sounded in the room. Everyone was stunned.
He walked out of the study and threw the folder in his hand in front of Liu Yanshi.
"The insurance was bought a year and a half ago. The contract stipulates that suicide will only be covered two years after the insurance is purchased. β
Liu Yanshi took the contract with a surprised face:
"Where did you find that?"
The papers were in the drawer of his desk. Now that he has decided to commit suicide, this insurance cannot be placed in an inconspicuous place. β
Liu Yanshi silently took out the paper in the folder, what was written in the contract was really as Shi Zuocai said, in this case of suicide, he would not be covered by the claim.
Liu Yan's lips trembled slightly.
"So...... Isn't Uncle Fu ...... Is it white to die......"
"Of course not."
Shi Zuocai exhaled and said coldly:
"Why do you think he made a point of writing on the envelope not to call for help?"
Liu Yan's eyes were stunned, and her pupils contracted. These words were like a heavy hammer, chiseled into her heart.
She looked up and saw Shi Zuo's eyes without any emotion.
He said word for word:
"What do you think he left you with the last two sentences of the letter?"
Small Smoke ...... I'm sorry...... In the end, it was not spared......
Shi Zuocai looked at Liu Yanshi silently, and after a while, he slowly spoke:
"Liu Yanshi, you are a Kyogen Master."
"The words he left you are the last commission."
Liu Yanshi opened his mouth slightly, speechless. She already understood what Shi Zuocai meant.
If they called an ambulance as soon as they found his body, then it would have been impossible for Fu Sizhe to hide his suicide, and what followed would be the inevitable bad luck of Fang Qing's mother and daughter.
But Liu Yanshi is a Kyogen master. He is the most skilled liar in the world.
Even though Fu Sizhe has died with his sins, the mother and daughter are innocent.
Only the Kyogen Master can find a glimmer of life for Fang Qing's mother and daughter in this situation.
She had to hide it from them.
Liu Yanshi lowered his head slightly, unable to see his expression.
After a while, she pursed her lips and helped Fang Qing to stand up.
She said:
"Mother Fang, Ying'er. You're going to be fine...... I'll figure it out for you. β
"Figured out?" Shi Zuocai suddenly said coldly:
"What can you think of?"
Liu Yanshi was stunned, clenched his fists, and said, "There will always be some way......
"There's not going to be anything you can do." Shi Zuocai's tone was as calm as ever, and he took a breath:
"To erase the evidence of suicide, there are only two choices, one is to make him disappear, and the other is to fundamentally change suicide into homicide. There's no way you can get him missing, because the insurance policy says that the disappearance compensation doesn't take effect until two years after the disappearance, and the two of them can't afford to wait. It's very easy to turn suicide into murder, there is a kitchen knife in the kitchen, if you are so ruthless that you cut off his head with a kitchen knife, and then carry it to the police station to turn yourself in, then I will do whatever you want. β
"You know what I mean? Willow Smoke Vision. This is the corpse of an adult man, weighing more than a hundred pounds anyway, and you can't carry the corpse alone. He died for a short time, only two hours at most, and there were no corpse spots on his body, but your time is running out, the day after tomorrow is Monday, if he can't go to work normally, it will soon arouse suspicion, and in a day, you can't do anything on your own......"
Shi Zuocai's analysis did not carry a trace of emotion, and it was frighteningly calm. What he said, of course, is also correct.
It's just that while he was talking, Liu Yanshi pursed his lips all the time, his shoulders trembled slightly, and he didn't say a word.
Shi Zuo finished what he had to say in one breath and looked straight at Liu Yanshi, but when he saw Liu Yanshi finally slowly raise his head and look at him, he was still stunned.
Liu Yanshi's eyes were filled with tears, but his eyes were so strong that they were distressing, but in Shi Zuocai's opinion, those eyes did not seem to be looking at him, but penetrated his body and looked at his soul.
Suddenly, she said:
"I will."
Shi Zuocai frowned.
Biting her lip, she continued:
"If just cutting off the head of a corpse could save both of them, I would."
She still spoke with a nasal accent, and her tone was like an ignorant child's temperament. But Shi Zuo felt deep palpitations, and for some reason, he always felt that this sentence was not a joke.
Just like when I first met her, this woman often has a tendency to self-destruction, a moth to a fire when she is stubborn. He knew that it was the kind of character that only people who had been through it could have.
He closed his eyes and was silent. Immediately, he sighed deeply.
He suppressed his bipolar mood and said indifferently:
"I just said, you can't handle a corpse by yourself......"
"So what?" Liu Yanshi pursed her lips and raised her chin slightly, just about to say somethingβif Shi Zuo had noticed her expression at the moment, then this story, and even their lives after that, might have some subtle changes.
But Shi Zuo didn't. For some reason, he just bowed his head in silence. didn't wait for Liu Yanshi to finish speaking, and suddenly went straight to the end.
ββ¦β¦ I'll help you. Shi Zuocai said.
Liu Yanshi was stunned.
