After returning to Guangzhou, I heard that the poison-eyed dragon followed a fellow villager to Beijing, and left the address, so that the two of us could follow north. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info and Emma are also separated. Since we got the money, we haven't seen Li Guohua again, it is estimated that we are taking care of the aftermath of those few who can't come back, the archaeological team went into the desert, a total of nine people, and five came back, this matter can be big or small, anyway, it can't escape the investigation of the relevant departments for three or five months, Tong Qin is a family of traditional Chinese medicine, Gu Tong's strange condition, let her be extra energetic, and after returning home, she will go with all parties and give him a four-party consultation.

"Clothes are people's faces, money is people's guts" is really right, if we enter the feet of the Son of Heaven before we do it, we are really a little frightened. The fat man and I were walking on the streets of Beijing with tens of thousands of yuan in our hands, and we felt comfortable all over.

We met the poison-eyed dragon in a guest house located next to Liulichang Street, and after a shallow conversation in the depths of the afternoon, we learned that he had come here for a deal. Before entering Beijing, he specially told others that if we came to look for it, let us come north.

said that it was a deal, and since then, there has been no shadow of the poison-eyed dragon for dozens of days, and he has been going out early and returning late all day. In addition to hanging out for a few days, the fat man and I also met a lot of public security officers in the guest house for the rest of the time, and what they said and asked was nothing more than this trip into the desert.

On this day, the fat man shouted early in the morning, two comrades-in-arms invited us to climb the Great Wall together, from Liulichang to Badaling plus the time to climb the Great Wall, not to mention two or three days back and forth, I thought the road was too far, and I had the same nightmare in the underground palace of Zero City for days, and I had a headache, so I didn't go with them. The morning after the fat man left, I was lying alone in bed in a daze. Suddenly there was a knock on the door, I agreed, and scolded in my heart, damn it, endlessly, the matter of Guangzhou, just chase it here, what is the matter every day.

When I opened the door, it was a delicate-looking, very unfamiliar face, and I asked her what was wrong. She handed me a note that read, "Three o'clock in the afternoon, the old side of the Peace Gate." "I'm a big old man, I don't know anything about reading and recognizing people, and I don't know what this old man means. When I looked up again, the girl was already far away.

Holding the strip, I was confused, and I inquired from the waiter at the guest house, the old side is a dumpling restaurant, and I felt strange, I first came to Beijing City, where did I know someone, maybe I came to find the fat man, and I was going to wait for the fat man to come and do the care. But after thinking about it, it's staying anyway, there should be a lot of people in the place to eat, and I'm still worried about that, so I'll go and see it first.

I was afraid of going the wrong way and being late, so I went out early at one o'clock in the afternoon. As soon as I arrived at the door of Quanjude, a person came over, it was the little girl who sent me a note in the morning, smiled at me when she arrived, turned around and walked in, I followed quickly, and the two did not speak along the way.

Although it is not a restaurant, the dumpling restaurant is still popular, and the things in it should be delicious, but unfortunately the fat man is not there, otherwise he will have to eat in the dark. The girl led me to a window on the second floor, smiled at me, and made a gesture of please.

I looked at the direction of her finger, there were not many people on the second floor, and there were two people sitting facing each other by the window in the innermost window, and when I looked closely at the person facing me, it was Emma, who I hadn't seen for many days, and I hurriedly walked up. When asked how she found me, Emma sold her a joke and said that the mountain people had their own tricks, and they couldn't say anything for the time being.

After sitting down, the girl was nowhere to be seen, and I looked at her strangely, and Emma said, "Do you know that you owe me a great favor now?" ”

I was confused by the sudden question, and I shook my head and asked for any favor.

Emma told me that because of this trip to the desert, Li Guohua and Tong Qin were restricted to a certain degree of freedom, and they were not allowed to leave Guangdong Province for a short time, and that if they wanted to go far away, they must first report to the local police station and make a written application, otherwise they would be imprisoned or even imprisoned. And the fat man and I used Mr. Duan's influence to make a guarantee to the police, so we didn't receive similar notices.

I don't think it's surprising to think of this, after all, so many people have died in a desert archaeological trip, and neither the police nor the family can do it so simply. But she said so much, there must be something to follow, presumably something begging me. I looked at her suspiciously, speechless for a long time.

Emma was a little uncomfortable with me: "Don't look at me like that, I do have something to tell you, but you have to promise me one condition first." ”

I thought for a moment, nodded and said, "As long as it's not something that hurts nature and reason, violates human ethics, and kills people and sells goods." ”

Emma glanced at me and snorted: "It turns out that I am such an image in your eyes, Zou Yi, I know you, don't regret it." ”

I knew that I was speechless, and hurriedly waved my hand to explain: "No, no, no, I don't mean that, I mean as long as it's not right... No, as long as it's not bad... Wrong... Ay... Forget it, I said I can't win you, you can say something. ”

Emma saw my bitter face and smiled: "You also have times when you are soft, in fact, things are not difficult, you just need to sit here later." ”

"That's it?" I looked at her suspiciously.

Emma nodded heavily, "How's it going?" Can such a simple thing be done? ”

I took a sip of the cold white open at hand: "Okay, even if it is a knife in the sky later, I won't leave the oil pot on the ground." ”

After saying that, I also made a poisonous oath, for this kind of thing, I have never believed in oaths, if God can really manage it, then what do you need a contract for. She swore nonchalantly, and urged her to hurry up and order some food, you can't come here and ask me to come and see others eat.

Emma said, "Don't worry, there's another person coming later, and when we arrive, we'll order something to eat, and don't forget what you promised me." ”

It didn't take long for Emma to get up and walk towards the staircase with a smile on her face, as if she was greeting someone. I glanced curiously, but Emma blocked my vision, I couldn't see the face of the visitor, and when I saw her turn around, I quickly retracted my head, and for a moment I felt as if I was hallucinating, and I was wrong. I wonder if there are still sequelae of hallucinations in the ruins.

I shook my head and threw aside the messy thoughts, and when I heard the footsteps, I felt that the two of them were approaching, and I hurriedly stood up to greet them, and when I saw the person coming, I suddenly had a head in my head, and the whole person was a little stunned in an instant.

At this moment, countless days and nights of longing, countless nightmares, countless words that I wanted to question, countless questions flashed in my mind like a movie, and I looked at her blankly and speechlessly for a long time.

The air around me seemed to freeze, and the time became extraordinarily long, and I could hear my own heartbeat, which was fluttering and speeding up. At this moment, I wanted to turn away, because it was as if there was a thorn in my heart that had not been removed for a long time, and it was piercing into it little by little. Although the eye sockets were a little blurry, the tears never flowed.

We looked at each other for a long, long time. Emma coughed twice and broke the silence: "Don't stand, what's the matter, sit and talk slowly." ”

No matter what I thought in my heart, I walked over to Emma and sat down, and Emma leaned over and muttered two words in my ear, my mind so cluttered that I couldn't hear what he was saying. Probably just promised those words that can't be reversed.

"Jianbang...", the other side was about to speak, I raised my hand to interrupt her: "Don't call it that, I have changed my name since my grandfather and father died, and I am now Zou Yi, which was given to me by my grandfather before he died." I lowered my eyes and avoided looking at her, trying to make my tone as smooth as I could.

She said, "You still hate Mom? ”

She is my mother who disappeared for more than ten years after the family was changed - Kong Li, although I can't see her eyes, but I can hear the choked voice from her tone, the more so, the more restless a nameless fire stirs in my heart, I smiled: "Don't dare, grandfather said, I shouldn't hate anyone, no matter what happens, everything is fate, but it must not affect others." ”

My mother sat opposite and never spoke again, the silent atmosphere made my mood a little irritable, I picked up the water in my hand, raised my head and drank it all, and whispered to Emma: "Miss Duan, I promised you what I promised, I did it, if you have nothing to do with your friends, I will leave first." ”

After saying that, without waiting for them to speak, he got up and went downstairs. On the way back to the hotel, my mind was full of chaos, after closing the door with my backhand, my head was turned and I passed out on the ground, and when I woke up again, I was already lying on the bed, it was already dark outside, and the fat man was sitting on another bed with a newspaper in his hand and was flipping through it.

When the fat man saw me wake up, he hurriedly got a glass of water for me, and after drinking the water, I asked the fat man when he would come back.

The fat man said, "I've been back for a day and a night, what have you been stimulated by, why did you faint here, but fortunately the poison-eyed dragon came to see you and said that you are fine, otherwise you would have been lying in the hospital by this time." ”

I told the fat man about the cause and effect of the matter, and the dreams I had in my sleep for several days resurfaced in front of my eyes as I told it, and my head was swollen and painful, probably because I was thinking too much, and my brain cells were not enough.

After listening to my narration, the fat man said with understanding: "I just said that this foreign girl is not simple, I didn't expect there to be such a relationship, oops... In the future, we have to take advantage of my father, otherwise many things will not be easy to do. ”

I glared at him and didn't speak, the fat man smiled awkwardly: "Lao Zou, I haven't experienced this, if it were me, I would definitely not be as good-tempered as you in the dumpling restaurant that day, but then again, no matter what, she is your mother after all, as the old saying goes, 'tiger poison does not eat children', your grandfather and your mother may have their troubles when they leave, maybe your mother has something to say to you that day." ”

The more I listened, the more wrong it became, and this remark was not at all like what came out of his Li Hanlin's mouth: "Have you heard something?" ”

At first, he tried his best to quibble, but after some questioning, he finally told the truth with a weak heart. During the two days I was in a coma, Emma came to see me, saw that I was unconscious, gave me a brief examination, told the fat man what had happened, and asked him to persuade me to go and see my mother again.

Although what the fat man said is not unreasonable, the mother and son are connected, breaking the bones and tendons. In any case, she is my mother, and it is unrealistic for me to ignore it absolutely, but the hurdle in my heart has never been overcome.

In this way, I listened to the fat man's words, didn't say anything, lit a cigarette for myself, looked at the bright moonlight outside the window, and the messy thoughts were sorted out in my mind little by little, and countless fragments were slowly connected into a line. When the fat man saw that I didn't speak, he also lay down to the side and read the newspaper with interest.

He sat until the next morning, when the ashtray was full of cigarette butts, and the room was filled with smoke, and with a knock on the door, the silence of the early morning was broken, and the fat man, who had been awake for a long time, rolled over and got out of bed and opened the door.

Emma stood in the doorway, frowned deeply and waved her hand: "You're going to set fire to the house." ”

Seeing me standing by the window, with a cigarette still in my hand, he whispered a few words to the fat man, walked over and pushed open the window, and said to me: "Zou Yi, I know that you are uncomfortable and hateful, and I also believe that you should adjust after so many days." There are some things that I think need to be made clear to you, and whether you want to listen to them is your business. ”

I extinguished the half of the cigarette in my hand, said nothing, and waited for her to do the following.

Emma said: "Do you know why your grandfather publicly disowned the Mao family back then, and why he took your mother to say goodbye? Didn't you think that it was most likely your grandfather's arrangement? Your father died so strangely, you don't want to know why? Do you think that the book "Qimen Ancient Seal" in your hand is really the four olds in their eyes? Why do you think you've survived to this day? ”

I looked at Emma in surprise, my grandfather openly broke away from the Mao family and said goodbye to my mother, there are not a few people who know about this matter, to say that this is arranged by my grandfather, I never thought that I did have doubts about my father's death, but in that special era, the family suffered, I am a hairy boy, this kind of thing is not my turn to question at all, even if there is doubt, there is no way to redress grievances. What surprised me the most was that everything that happened before and after was inextricably linked to "Qimen Ancient Seal", which had to make me face it. (To be continued.) )
