Chapter 1: The Girl Who Saw Death

Ouyang is a small city with a population of less than one million. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 The Zhu family, who live in Haihui, always say everywhere that they are a very responsible family, and they never believe in evil except for burning paper money on Halloween. Fainting, not because of their integrity, but because they have never suffered retribution.

Mr. Zhu Yunsheng works as a logistics supervisor and purchasing at a famous Starbucks coffee shop in the city center, and he will come and go to various customers every day, and Zhu Yunsheng only sits alone in the back office every day except for shopping, enjoying the comfortable working time every day. His height of more than 1.7 meters is not considered high, and he is prematurely bald before he reaches middle age. The figure is neither fat nor thin, and in the crowd it will be typical of the middle-aged man who cannot be recognized. Zhu Yunsheng's wife is a tall and big-faced woman. The corners of her eyes are twice as small as ordinary people's, and they are also more focused than others' eyes, and the corners of her eyes sparkle whenever she sees something valuable to herself. The Zhu couple only have one precious son, named Tsai Tsai. In their eyes, my son is an obedient pet, and when he is happy, he calls him, and if he is not happy, he rolls me back to the room to play.

The Zhu family lived a very wealthy life, and in that era, it was considered a wealthy family. Zhu Yunsheng's wife worked in the grain and oil department, at least in that era when the material department was rich. But they have an unknown secret, that is, all this wealth did not belong to them, but to the Liu family in Xinjiang. They are afraid that this secret will be exposed, and they are even more afraid of losing these hard-won wealth. Zhu Yunsheng's wife Liu Ye also has an older sister and a younger brother. In the early days of the liberation of New China, the Liu family who was assigned to the frontier lost their relatives in the premature war, and his grandfather Liu Dongbao was still young at that time, and he did not remember his family tree at all, and became an orphan prematurely. Growing up, getting married, and having a baby in the chaos of war can be regarded as living a lifetime. And Liu Ye, his younger brother Liu Yue and his eldest sister also paid attention to growing up in that underfestive frontier. In order to return to their homeland, the old couple of the Liu family can only take one child back to their hometown in their memory, according to Chinese tradition, so they are ready to take the son of the only seedling, Liu Yue. When Liu Yue dragged his family to sell the house that he had bought for more than ten years and those non-personal things that he couldn't take away, sent the money to Liu Dongbao, who had returned to his hometown, opened up the relationship, and found a job in the government agency of the grain and oil bureau, everything went smoothly and prepared to return to his homeland. Who knew that a second sister was killed halfway, Liu Ye cried and rolled all over the ground, desperately trying to go back. said that he didn't go back early or late, but when his younger brother sold everything and sent it back, he saw that he staged this crying, making trouble, and hanging himself, and finally stole the train ticket-

They knew they had a daughter, but they had never met and never wanted to. Because the Liu family is like their unscrupulous mirror, when they see them, they see their past selves, so humble to escape from one city, who knows that they just go to another city. Now they put on a noble face, squandered the savings of their younger brother and sister-in-law who had struggled for ten years, robbed the opportunity, and never thought of returning the money.

Our story begins on a rainy, noisy Monday morning: Monday morning is the least favorite thing ever, and after all the fun and time wasting on the weekend, Monday resumes the orderly commute to and from work. The Zhu family was woken up by the sound of rain, and it was dark outside the house, and it was raining not too much, but not too much. If it weren't for the sound of the rain, it is estimated that this family would have thought that they would have fallen asleep in the middle of the night. This city is like this, as soon as the rainy season is cloudy, it rains almost every day, and the bad parts of the old city often accumulate water or even worse, it will flood to a meter or two, these are common things, so everyone does not feel anything strange. Zhu Yunsheng got up silently, mechanically dressed and tied, and made breakfast. And Liu Ye chattered about the trivial things of the owner's Mrs. Wang's house, and smashed the baby stroller in front of the dining table of the boy who cried on his cot. None of them noticed the flocks of crows passing by the windows. At half past eight, Zhu Yunsheng picked up the briefcase on time and pinched it on Tsai's face. The grumpy little guy opened his big hand. "Little cub," Zhu Yunsheng said to the boy who was dancing on all fours and walked out of the house.

The company is not far from home, on rainy days, Zhu Yunsheng generally walks to the company, walks two streets, crosses two small forks, turns left at the traffic light at the intersection, and arrives after a leisure square. Today, as usual, I played a big black umbrella with a curved hook handle and walked briskly in the rain. The rain clattered on the shoes, and the shoes quickly splashed on the trouser legs with the rain. Zhu Yunsheng held the umbrella, feeling that something was on his shoulders and above his head. Zhu Yunsheng subconsciously looked at his shoulder, and was surprised to find that there were two black feathers, a crow-like bird with a sharp beak standing on his shoulder, and the most important thing was that there was also one on his head, which couldn't shake it no matter how he shook it. Zhu Yunsheng was busy driving away the big blackbird around him, but found that his body had become a paradise for blackbirds, and the people in the square didn't care about the rain, they were all driving away the big blackbird. Zhu Yunsheng held his breath, took a step that had not been exercising for a long time, rusty and heavy, and staggered into the café, leaving a group of crows behind him to crash into the glass door of the café. The rain gradually stopped, and the people in the square slowly dispersed, and the big black birds that looked like crows hovered in the middle of the air for a while and flew high into the sky and disappeared without a trace. All this seemed to be slow, but it happened to Zhu Yunsheng for a moment, and he returned to his former calm as if nothing had happened.

"Open the door to breathe." The waiter glanced at Zhu Yunsheng, who was stunned, and then pushed open the glass door.

Zhu Yunsheng subconsciously wanted to stop it, but his eyes were as calm as if nothing had happened. "There were a lot of crows just now, did you see that?" Zhu Yunsheng asked the waiter suspiciously.

"No, it's just a little light rain just now, and now it's all gone. You read it wrong, you see, now the clouds have dispersed. The waiter said, stepping out the door, unswearing the outdoor garden Roman umbrella, taking the chair off the table, and wiping off all the water stains on it.

Zhu Yunsheng cautiously walked out of the house, and the sky was indeed much clearer than just now. Zhu Yunsheng took a deep breath, 'Is it really my mistake? But it's also possible, after all, I couldn't sleep well last night because of the sound of the rain, and I may have been in a trance for a while. As he thought about it, he took the umbrella outside and shook it vigorously, and a black wet feather slipped off the umbrella and fell to the ground like a drop of water, splashing and then merging with the water stains on the ground and disappearing. Zhu Yunsheng shook his head that had fallen prematurely, touched his forehead, thinking that he must have been dazzled, and then hung the umbrella at the umbrella cabinet at the door and entered the office.

Today is the day of purchasing coffee beans, Zhu Yunsheng changed into work clothes, handed over the application for going out that had been approved the day before to the personnel, and listened to the waiters shouting slogans outside, and rested calmly for a while. As soon as I thought that it would be another gray income after purchasing, I secretly rejoiced, and left the crow incident just now behind.
