Qian Huili died, Zhang's mother was taken away by the police, and the black cat disappeared - the black cat seemed to know that the owner was dead and there was no need to stay, like a ghost, disappeared without a trace.

I washed the red cheongsam, dried it with a hot air blower, and put it back in my bag, but no one could stop it from coming out.

"Maybe you don't know yet, Qian Huili is my lover, I bought this villa, one is to put antiques, and the other is to support her." Sun Bin sat at the table, and I sat across from him.

I nodded and said, "You can tell you don't seem to have any feelings for her." ”

Sun Bin picked up the oil painting on the table: "Last time you said in the storeroom, the cheongsam worn by the woman in the painting is the same as your family's cheongsam, I went back to check, the woman in the painting lives in the Republic of China, and she did marry your Wu family." ”

It turns out that the things that Grandma Tai said about the Wu family are really this oil painting. I smiled helplessly and said, "It's a pity that our Wu family is no longer what it used to be, and now this oil painting is Mr. Sun's thing." ”

"I can give it to you, though." Sun Bin said.

"This gift is too precious to be meritorious." As much as I wanted this painting, I knew there were some things that I couldn't take away.

Sun Bin said: "I almost wronged you, and I want to apologize to you." You helped me see these two people clearly, so that I would not continue to be deceived, and I want to thank you. To me, this painting is nothing more than a valuable oil painting, and to you, it means a lot. ”

"Even so, Mr. Sun is too polite." I say.

"Actually, there is one more thing I want to ask Mr. Wu for help." Sun Bin looked sad: "My little sister is seriously ill and dying. I want to make a well-fitting shroud for her, and I have to ask you about this. ”

I was immediately stunned: "Shroud? ”

"Didn't Mr. Wu only make clothes for women? Isn't it okay to make a shroud for a woman? Sun Bin asked.

We used to make shrouds for others, but most of them were grandfathers. It's the first time I've asked me to do it.

"Mr. Sun gave me the oil painting, you have something to ask, of course I can't refuse. Okay, I'll do it, I don't know when it will start. I asked him.

"Let's leave now, I'm afraid that the delay will be long, and my little sister can't wait." Sun Bin got up and said.

I immediately agreed, and he drove me to a nearby hospital. According to him, his little sister's name is Sun Xiaotong and she suffers from congenital heart disease. Yesterday afternoon, he went out on a motorcycle, just to visit Sun Xiaotong in the hospital, the motorcycle can take a shortcut without traffic jams, and the doctor told him that if Sun Xiaotong gets ill again, he may not last long.

He drove there, and I sat in the car with my eyes closed. When I left the villa, I saw two women standing on the side of the road, they looked the same, both wearing red cheongsam. I recognized them as the Huizhen Huili sisters, and the two held hands and gradually disappeared into the night.

When I opened my eyes, the car was already at the entrance of the hospital. Sun Bin and I got out of the car, walked into the hospital, and came to a ward.

There was a young woman lying there in the ward, receiving oxygen. An elderly woman beside the bed was wiping her tears, Sun Bin walked over and whispered, "Mom, how is Xiaotong?" ”

"Alas, the doctor said it was very dangerous, there was a heart disease, and he would go if he said he would go." The old man didn't finish his sentence, and the tears came down again.

Sun Bin pulled the old lady out of the door, gently closed the door of the ward, and then introduced me to the old lady.

"Don't be sad, no one can say for sure. I invited Mr. Wu, their family has been a tailor for five generations, so it is better to let him measure his sister's size first, in case his sister leaves suddenly, we are also prepared. Sun Bin choked up.

The old man didn't seem to be very happy, but finally nodded and said, "Okay, let him be careful, your sister is weak." ”

I had to tell them: "Our Wu family has a rule for making clothes, you must say Miss Sun's birthday, and I can make a decision." ”

"What kind of rule is this, how come I've never heard of it?" The old lady frowned.

"Mom, it's not a secret that you can tell your sister's eight characters." Sun Bin said.

The old lady glanced me up and down, and actually said Sun Xiaotong's eight characters very accurately: "When I was in the year of Renshen in the month of Wuchen and Gengshen, did I say it clearly enough?" ”

I could see that the old lady wanted to test me and see if I understood the five elements and eight characters, so she responded: "You said that she was born between 4 and 5 o'clock in the afternoon on August 10, 1994, and Miss Sun's five elements lack fire, which is the life of the earth, am I not wrong?" ”

"Well, you're right, it seems that you're a fortune teller." The old lady said.

I smiled helplessly and said, "You are wrong, I am a tailor and do not tell my fortune." ”

"Okay, you know my sister's eight characters, now you can measure the size, right?" Sun Bin urged.

"No, I don't think it's necessary to make shrouds." I say.

Sun Bin and the old lady were stunned at the same time, and Sun Bin asked, "It's not necessary?" Is my sister too young to wear it? ”

"I mean, not at all, because Miss Sun is likely to get better." I say.

My words made the old lady very excited, she grabbed my hand and said, "Mr. Wu, do you have a way to save my daughter?" ”

"Her eight characters just match the red cheongsam, so it's better to let her wear it and try it, maybe it will have an effect." I said seriously.

"Cheongsam?" The old lady didn't quite understand, so I told her about the strangeness of the cheongsam, and she listened to it, but she was very calm.

I was afraid that she would not believe it, so I specially emphasized: "Of course, this kind of thing must be agreed by your family, if you think it is not feasible, forget it, but what I said is true." ”

But the old lady said, "I believe in you." I'm over 60 years old, and I've encountered many unexplained things in my life. I don't think you deliberately lied to us, it's not good for you. Put it on, I'll put it on for her myself. ”

I took out the cheongsam and handed it to the old lady. The old lady called two nurses to put on a cheongsam for the unconscious Sun Xiaotong.

Sun Bin and I stood outside the ward, Sun Bin was a little anxious, but I expressed the doubts in my heart: "Mr. Sun, Miss Sun is only 24 years old, and your mother is already in her sixties, a difference of forty years, in that era, it should be rare, right?" ”

"To tell you the truth, Xiaotong is not my own sister, she was picked up by my mother. At that time, it was just dawn, my mother got up early to work in the fields, and when she saw her, the red sun came out, and my mother named her Xiaotong. Sun Bin said.

I suddenly realized: "The old lady is also a kind person, good people have good rewards, I don't think God will let her lose this daughter so soon." ”

After a while, Sun Xiaotong changed into a cheongsam. Sun Bin and I walked into the ward, she was lying quietly on the bed, her expression was serene, and she looked like a woman in an oil painting.
