The clothes on the body are still the set of the Jieshi Palace, and when I left Liaodong, I was in a hurry, and I didn't change my clothes, and now I am in rags, standing on the street, the three of us are no different from beggars, and I waited outside the door of the Institute of Military History for a long time before I saw a soldier wearing a military uniform and a majestic instrument come out.

Tian Ji greeted him, with a happy smile on his face: "Fangzi, it's really not easy to see you now." ”

The person who called Fang Zi was stunned and didn't move, and looked at the field chicken in surprise for a long time before he opened his mouth in surprise: "Tian Qi? You're alive? ”

"What are you talking about, I haven't seen you for years, so I wish I was dead."

"It's really you." Fang Zi hugged the field utensils and smiled.

"Don't stand here and say, find a place and get me something to eat." Tian Ji said.

On the way, Tian Ji explained to us that Fang Zi's name was Qiao Fang, Tian Ji was a soldier, they were comrades in the trenches, Qiao Fang was bold, and he had the temperament of a soldier.

Fang Zi took us to the restaurant by the Qinhuai River, through the window near the river, you can see the river below, ten miles of Qinhuai was especially in the heyday of the Ming Dynasty, from the record of only a few words in the book, you can outline the gold powder buildings of the year, row upon row; Painting the boat Lingbo, the sound of oars and the shadow of the lights are like a dreamlike scene.

Now it is the time when the lights are on, the two sides of the strait are full of colors under the illumination of the lights, the boat passes through the still water and waves a long ripple behind it, and there are intermittent Jiangnan minor tunes from time to time.

Although it is not as prosperous and fragrant as it was back then, it is not as prosperous and fragrant as it was back then, but it dances low in the heart of the willow building, and the song is full of peach blossom fan, and you can still feel the luxury of this water Qinhuai, the beauty is in your arms, and the silk and bamboo are still in the ears day and night.

The beautiful scenery of Liangchen is not comparable to the dishes on the table in front of us, from Liaodong to Jinling, the field chicken is free and easy, and a whole bag of gems and the priceless Tai'a sword are used to accompany the funeral, and now we are penniless, and we have long been hungry with our chests and backs.

In front of Fang Zi, he was not polite, eating the food in a big gulp, Fang Zi was probably frightened by the battle of the three of us, and those who didn't know thought we were fleeing the famine.

"You guys, how long has it been since you've eaten?" Fang Zi took out the cigarette case and asked.

"Don't ask, let's have another plate of beef potstickers." Tian Ji's mouth was stuffed with vegetables, and he said vaguely. "Another bowl of duck blood vermicelli."

Fang Zi ordered back, lit the cigarette and did not move the chopsticks, Qinhuai snacks can be called a must, the emphasis is on fine, you have to taste slowly, our way of eating is indeed a bit of a big scenery.

"Your dad is looking for you everywhere, and all his comrades-in-arms have inquired about it, and we all think of you as if something happened." Fang Zi asked seriously. "How old are you, why are you still learning to run away from home?"

Tian Ji was stunned for a moment, put down the steamed cake in his hand, and wiped the grease stains on the side of his mouth: "The old man even looked for you here?" ”

"Nonsense, what do we have to do with it, you're gone, of course your dad has to come and ask me." Fang Zi poured us wine and stared at the field chicken. "It's not me saying this, your dad celebrates his birthday, you don't show up for such a big thing, when I go, your dad's face is not very good-looking."

"What else do you say?" Tian Ji asked.

"It's said that it's for our comrades-in-arms, if we see you, three things." Fang Zi gestured three fingers and laughed happily. "Your dad has spoken, and he recognizes him as an uncle, and when he sees you, he will help him do three things."

"What's the matter?"

"First, I can't give you money."

"Look at what he can, without him, I can't make any money." Tian Ji was dismissive. "What else?"

"I can't take you in, and I can't give you a bite of food." The more Fang Zi talked, the more happy he became.

"He just looked down on me, thinking that without him, I wouldn't even be able to eat a mouthful of food......" Tian Ji said triumphantly, looking at the dishes on the table, and smiled awkwardly. It was an accident, it was an accident, I could have been rich, but it turned out...... Forget it, my life. ”

"What's the third?" I asked curiously.

"Let us see him, and either take him back or beat him to death." Fang Zi finally couldn't hold back his laughter. "Your dad can say it, kill you and count him as him, hahaha."

"It's over!" Tian Ji slapped his thigh. "Something's wrong, there's something big."

"What's wrong?" We asked, surprised.

"Most of what I did was known to my old man, and in his temperament, if he knew that I was stealing outside...... Dig sweet potatoes. Tian Ji said anxiously. Maybe the old man really killed me before I was willing. ”

"What did your dad do? I've never asked you, how old are you, why are you still like a child, so afraid of your dad? Gong Jue asked.

"You don't know who his dad is?" Fang Zi's expression was more surprised than ours, as if it was a very shocking thing to not know Tian Ji's father.

We shook our heads blankly, Tian Ji's expression flickered, as if he was reluctant to mention his family's affairs, diverted the topic, and said to Fang Zi seriously: "It's not easy to see you once, do me a favor." ”

Fang Zi didn't say a word, took out his wallet from his body, and pushed all the money in front of Tian Ji except for the documents: "I have so much on my body, I will go back with me later, and I want to say a word." ”

"You have to look down on people." Tian Ji pushed the money back. "Didn't the old man say that he wouldn't let me give me money?"

"Your dad has to listen to the opposite, he's giving us a message." Fang Zi took a puff of his cigarette and said with a smile. "You also know how much money I have every month, don't look down on this money."

Tian Ji picked up the wine, raised his head and drank it all, and slapped it on the table: "You can't let him flatten me, you take back this money, we are still comrades-in-arms, if you really want to help me, just help me do one thing." ”

Fang Zi didn't hesitate, he probably knew the temperament of the field chicken, and he couldn't pull the cow back when he rose, so he collected the money on the table: "Don't say help, what's the matter, you can do it with a squeak." ”

"Help me look up a military agency."

"What agency?"

"117 rounds."

"117 rounds?" Fang Zi took the cigarette from the corner of his mouth, and frowned and thought for a long time. "The military's institutions?"

Tian Ji nodded.

"Where's the number?"

"If you don't have a number, you know the code name 117."

"There is no such thing as the 117th Bureau in the military." Fang Zi thought for a long time and said affirmatively.

"You don't know, it doesn't mean that you don't, there should be records in the archives of the Military History Institute, you have to look for it."

"You have been a soldier and know the rules of the army, the affairs of the military are no small matter, and among the files I can access, there is absolutely no 117 bureau as you said, and the files that I can't access are all classified as confidential." Fang Zi poked his head over and said in a low voice. "You should know that the military has a secrecy policy, and nothing can be leaked."

"I know, that's why I asked if you can help with this, since it's inconvenient for you, forget it." Tian Ji said very sincerely.

Fang Zi was silent, took a few puffs of cigarette hard, and snuffed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray.

"Three days, give me three days, those files are not casually accessible, and I will give you an answer after three days."

"Fangzi, you think about this clearly, don't embarrass you."

Fang Zi unbuttoned his clothes, exposed his chest, pointed to a scar on it and smiled faintly: "Lao Tzu owes you, if you didn't rescue me from the pile of dead, I will turn to ashes if I look for it, and it is inconvenient to say anything between us." ”

Fang Zi didn't even ask Tian Ji, what was he doing to investigate the files of the 117 Bureau, it was not that he was not careful, but his trust in Tian Ji, even Gong Jue and me, Qiao Fang didn't even ask about the origin, how deep his trust in Tian Ji was, and even Tian Ji's friends, he was convinced.

"How am I going to find you then?" Fang Zi picked up the chopsticks and asked.

Originally, we didn't want to stay in Jinling, after sending Xie Tianhui here, we planned to find a way to go back to Chengdu, since Qiao Fang promised to help investigate the 117 Bureau, we could only stay in Jinling for a few more days, and the only place to stay was Qin Zhanyan.

We will send Xie Tianhui back thousands of miles away, stay a few more days, she should not drive us away.

"Bury Huaxi, we'll live there now, do you have ......"

"Where?" The chopsticks in Qiao Fang's hand hovered over the dish and asked dumbfounded.

"Burial, burial of Huaxi." Tian Ji repeated blankly.

"Tao Wu's Burial Flower Creek?!" Qiao Fang's expression changed greatly.

The three of us looked at each other at a loss, and then nodded, not understanding why this place made Qiao Fang react so much.

"Well, the land is not clean, how do you live there?" Qiao Fang said tabooly.

"I look pretty clean, it's just a little old." Tian Ji said disapprovingly.

"What does it mean to be unclean?" I seemed to have guessed something, and asked Qiao Fang seriously.

"The place where Huaxi was buried was a mass grave a long time ago, and then Yizhuang was built there, which was specially used to park the coffin, and I didn't find a good place to bury it, or the coffin of the guest died in another country, all of which were placed in Fuhuaxi, and then Yizhuang was gone, and a house was built on the original site of Yizhuang, which is now Fuhuaxi, but that place has always been ......" Qiao Fang hesitated for a long time and said in a low voice. Haunted all the time. ”

"Haunted?!" The three of us were dumbfounded, and suddenly remembered the woman named Qin Zhanyan and the child who followed her, Qiao Fang didn't say that it was nothing, thinking about it carefully, the woman seemed to be really silent when she walked, and the place where Huaxi was buried did give people an eerie feeling.

"You, when did you believe this?" Tian Ji pulled Fang Zi's military uniform.

"I don't believe it, but I grew up in Jinling when I was a child, and there have always been rumors about Burial Huaxi, and it is said that some people have seen it with their own eyes, saying that sometimes in the place of Burial Huaxi, you can hear ghosts crying wolves at night, and there are figures wandering in it." Qiao Fang said seriously. "Didn't you see, no one lives near Fuhuaxi, no one is allowed to enter that place, how can you live there?"

"It's a long story, we, we, we were entrusted to send a coffin there." I said with a look of trepidation.

"Deliver a coffin?" Qiao Fang was even more surprised than us, looking at us back and forth, and finally his eyes fell on Tian Ji's face. "I don't ask you what you're doing, what you think you should say, you'll naturally tell me, however, I advise you to go to that place less, bury flowers, bury flowers, listen to this name is very evil, who knows, whether it's a flower buried there......"
