Chapter 2: The Three Brothers in the Summer Camp
"Why did he become like this?" I asked.
"The last time I saw him, he was investigating a bizarre case. ”
"Oh? What case? I hurriedly asked.
Aunt Wang pondered for a moment and said, "We have a big non-governmental organization here, and the members are all dancing gods, fortune tellers, and people like seven, seven, eight, and eight. When I was alive, I was the leader of this organization, and after he died, I didn't want to get involved. I have a son and I just want to make life simpler. I knew some of the people in the group, but I didn't interact much. ”
I seemed to guess something: "You mean, Jieling is the one from this organization?" ”
Aunt Wang said: "As far as I know, he should not be. However, his relationship with this organization is extraordinary, and he came to our Long City this time, as if he was participating in the activities of the organization. ”
"So what does it have to do with the case?"
"The functions of this civil society organization are very complex, and there are some heavyweights in it who are also officials. In addition to exorcism and ghost hunting, fortune-telling and divination, this organization sometimes has to protect the territory and the people. The case was very complicated and strange this time, and the police couldn't solve it, so they had to ask for help from the people in the organization, and Jieling participated here. I don't know. Aunt Wang said.
"Then why is he here with you?" I question.
"That day, I went to Lin Faguang's house as a guest and saw the bell in the bedroom. At that time, the bell was like what you see now, unconscious, like a vegetative person. This Lin Faguang is a good friend of the family, who has given us a lot of help when we were in the most difficult time, and is also a good friend of mine. He's a big guy in the organization. Xie Ling has become like this, he must know the inside story. Lin Faguang's home is not large, and there are two of them living in it, and it is very inconvenient to have an extra bell. I immediately decided to take the bell to live with me, I opened a store, and there are many rooms. Aunt Wang said.
"So what exactly is this case, don't you know?"
Aunt Wang shook her head: "I don't know." Lin Faguang mentioned that I was a person outside the organization, so I didn't elaborate. When I brought the bell back, he gave me a piece of paper, which was the tissue that Ye Fan showed you, with your information written on it. Lin Faguang told me this at the time, he said that Xie Ling went to a dangerous place, knowing that he might encounter an accident, he hurriedly left such a note before leaving, and told him that if there was an accident, find this person on the paper, this person named Luo Dao has a way to save himself. ”
I was stunned, the bell was really interesting, he knew best who I was. He actually pinned his hopes for recovery on a mallet like me, what kind of trouble was going to be made.
I just saw the situation of unraveling, and I didn't have a clue at all. How can we save him?
I couldn't help but have a wry smile on my face.
"You can't help it, can you?" Aunt Wang is very observant of words.
"No clue." I'll be honest.
"That's it, I'll take you to see Lin Faguang tomorrow, he must know something. He can't sue me for those things, he will definitely sue you, and there will be a way when the time comes. Aunt Wang said.
I nodded, that's all I can do, let's take one step at a time.
Aunt Wang is very talkative, and she may be angry with her when she talks to me, and she can't help but talk about her man. I asked, "Aunt Wang, what is the relationship between Xie Ling and your family, and Uncle Ye?" ”
Aunt Wang stood up and took out a very old-fashioned photo album from the back room. She flipped a page and handed it to me, I looked at it, and it was a black and white photo about 2 inches long, with a yellowed surface, and it looked like it was old, and sure enough, there was a small mark: taken in 1979.
The photo shows three hairy young men, wearing work clothes with the characteristics of that era, standing in front of Beijing. This kind of old photo has a kind of precipitation and heaviness of the years, and it can be seen that these three guys are full of vigor and full of longing and ideals for the future life. Looking at this photo, I was a little infected by their demeanor and expressions.
Aunt Wang sat next to me and pointed to the one on the left: "This is my family, his name is Ye Xiang." The one in the middle is Xie Ling's father, called Xie Zixiao. ”
It's the first time I've heard of Xie Ling's father's name, I looked at this person carefully, he is much more handsome and delicate than Xie Ling, although he is wearing Tu Bu La's clothes, but he doesn't look worse than the youth idols in Taiwan and South Korea now.
I suddenly remembered that I used to be in the secret room of the Holy Aunt, and I used to see the delusional realm, Xie Ling was an orphan, and lived in an orphanage when he was a child. In this case, could it be that Xie Zixiao is his adoptive father? I just thought about it, but I didn't say it, I think it's a big deal, and it's better to pretend to be confused.
I pointed to the person on the right and said, "Who is this?" ”
"This is the most mysterious of the three brothers, and I have only met a few times," Aunt Wang said, "His name is An Ge." She paused and said, "He is the master of the unraveling." ”
I gasped, I had heard Xie Ling talk about his master a long time ago. His master was a member of the eight generals of the previous generation, and was once betrayed by traitors in the red wave of the sixties of the last century, and was arrested and shot at the public trial. Although he shot his head, he didn't die in the end, and he didn't say the reason for the bell, only that his master was a strange person.
Now when I see this photo, I feel that this person's eyes are different from those two people, and it may also be my subjective impression. This person named An Ge has a maturity beyond his age in his eyes, unlike the vigorous vitality of Ye Xiang and Xie Zixiao, with the confusion and tranquility of seeing through the world. It feels like he is at least much more mature than the two hairy young men around him, like an old man who has experienced vicissitudes.
"The three of them are classmates?" I asked.
Aunt Wang smiled: "They met in the 'summer camp'. ”
I wondered, "In those days, there were still summer camps?" ”
"The so-called summer camp is a labor camp," said Aunt Wang, "At that time, there was a kind of labor camp for teenagers, so it was nicknamed 'summer camp'." Your Uncle Ye, as well as Xie Zixiao, the father of Xie Ling, were arrested because of the incident, and it was there that you met An Ge. The three brothers hit it off at first sight, and if they had a bite to eat, they had to divide it into three portions. I've heard the owner say that 'summer camp' is definitely a place where your hair stands on end, a place that can't be described in words......"
Aunt Wang's tone was very sad.
I tried to ask, "Do you know Xie Nanhua?" ”
"How don't you know. Xie Ling and Nanhua both lived with me when they were children, and both of them called me mom at that time. Neither of them had a mother, and I was their godmother. The old Xie family's life is miserable. ”
I couldn't help but ask, "So where is the mother who unraveled the bell?" ”
Aunt Wang put away the photo album and said in a very flat tone: "It's late, you can rest early, and I'll take you to Lin Faguang tomorrow morning." ”
Her appearance is a little abnormal, and there must be a heavy hidden feeling in it, but I never do anything about peeping at other people's **, and it involves unraveling. For some reason, the more I learned about Jieling's life experience, the more I felt a heavy pressure. He is not as simple as he seems, and there must be an extremely complex and unknown history hidden behind it.
I'm not here to find out who the is, I'm here to save him.
Back in room 302, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, there was a problem that bothered me all the time, Xie Ling knew so many strange people, not to mention the rest, the eight generals are all masters. Why didn't he ask for anyone, but pinned his hopes on me?
I can't save things, I have insomnia, I go to bed late, and I wake up early. After a brief wash in the morning, Ye Fan knocked on the door and came in, and Aunt Wang asked him to take me out for breakfast.
There was a market outside early in the morning, and it was so cold, but the citizens were full of interest, and the sound of buying vegetables and bargaining was constant. Ye Fan took me to a fairly clean breakfast shop and asked for soy milk fritters to eat. Ye Fan asked me, what the hell did you tell me yesterday. I didn't hide it from him, and said directly: "Your mother won't let me sue you." Ye Fan, how much do you know about your father? ”
Ye Fan thought for a while and said: "I know that he is quite energetic, I remember that when I was a child, the guests at home were never broken, and my father had a lot of friends from all over the world, and he had a wide range of contacts. You can imagine that although we are not large in Longcheng, we can open a five-story hotel near the bus station, which must be related. Brother Luo, my mother told me not to participate in the relationships with my father before, is she a little too old-fashioned? My dad has so many friends, and any uncle or uncle will help me, so I am still looking for a job everywhere and squatting at home. Brother Luo, you have a chance to talk to my mother. ”
I lit a cigarette: "Your mother must have her own concerns and thoughts, so let's listen to the old man, and don't suffer." ”
Ye Fan said: "Women are just timid and afraid. ”
I smiled, and he spoke like a little adult.
When I came back from eating, I rested for a while, and Aunt Wang came over to call me to find Lin Faguang together.
There is a large lake in the city of Longcheng, and the area of the lake is so large that it divides the city into several parts. The most beautiful scenery in the city is the bridges of various styles, and there are many beautiful scenery built along the lake, which looks like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River during the day.
This Lin Faguang lives in Hudong Community, and I heard Aunt Wang say that this is a new building that was only opened last year. When we went up to the third floor, we saw a slight crack in the door of a house, and smoke came out of it. Aunt Wang smiled: "It's this one that burns incense." ”
She knocked on the door, and from time to time there was the sound of slippers pulling, and she approached step by step. The door opened, and there was a small man of more than one meter and six standing inside. This is an elderly man, with a wrinkled face, a bald head, and the most eye-catching thing is the five locks of long hair on his chin and a long goatee, which looks like Guan Gong.
Don't look at this short man, but he looks open-eyed, majestic, and looks like a frank man.
"Xiao Wang, come here so early." The man laughed.
Aunt Wang said: "Lao Lin, I can bring someone to you." ”
"Who is this?" He asked.
Aunt Wang said: "He is Luo Dao, the person who can save him by leaving a message from the bell." ”
This man must be Lin Faguang. Lin Faguang looked me up and down and nodded: "Welcome, come in." ”
There was a little disdain in his eyes.
