Chapter 44: Gathering

Just after nine thirty, Lin Hongzhi leaned back on the head of the bed, there were seven or eight people in the room, in addition to Hua Xia and Lu Jieyu, I also knew one person.

That man was my old man, who came by train before dawn in the morning, and he didn't even call me, and I didn't even have time to ask him how he found this place. Looking at the situation, the person who is a little similar to Lin Hongzhi and of the same age standing next to my old man should be Lin Hongzhi's younger brother, Huaxia's second uncle and master, Lin Hongyuan.

Lin Hongzhi sat up and prepared to get out of bed. Huazi's aunt put on a coat, helped him out of bed, and put on cotton slippers. Lin Hongzhi sat on the edge of the bed, patted his wife's hand and said, "Isn't it just a sickness, the king of Hades can't accept my life, and he won't be able to die for a while." So many friends, subordinates, and juniors are here, don't let people see the jokes. As he spoke, he stood up. Hua Xia stepped in front of his uncle in two steps, held his hands steady, and said: "My dear uncle, this is not an outsider here, you don't have to die, when can you change your habit of dying to save face and live to suffer." ”

Lin Hongzhi said with a smile: "Only you kid dare to talk to me like this, not even your aunt!" Then he walked slowly to my dad, held my dad's hand with both hands, and said, "Brother Zongming, you taught a good son, but I didn't expect you to come all the way over in person, I'm really embarrassed." I must stay for a few more days and get together with Hongyuan and me. ”

My old man was praised like this, but he felt a little embarrassed, looked at Lin Hongyuan on the side, and responded with a smile. Lin Hongzhi bypassed the old man and came to me and patted me on the shoulder, with a bit of strength, it seems that it is not injured at all, and it will not take a few days to recover. He didn't say anything to me, I could understand what he meant from his eyes, and he didn't say anything about his kindness, no matter how much he said, he couldn't express anything, so it was better not to say anything. Then he pointed at Lu Jieyu and said, "You wild girl, follow your Huazi brother to the mountains, you said that if you have three long and two short, what should I do with your godmother?" ”

This sentence reveals deep family affection, and the old couple seems to be treating Lu Jieyu as their own daughter. This girl's life is really good. When Hua Xia saw Lu Jieyu being scolded, she lowered her head and gloated alone. But before he could be happy, Lin Hongzhi turned his head and scolded half-truthfully: "And you, and the smile, don't think that your second uncle taught you something I don't know." You pretend to be crazy and stupid for me outside all day long, and lose the face of my Lin family. You must have stabbed Lai Hua Louzi when you went out this time, if you let me hear about your things outside in the future, see if I don't break your dog's legs, can your broken company go on? Disband early and go to work at your aunt's company. ”

The head of this family speaks differently, full of confidence, and he doesn't dare to say that Huaxia is angry. Lin Hongzhi said too many words in one breath, and he was a little weak, so my old man hurriedly went over to take a look, indicating that there was no big problem.

At this time, there was a middle-aged man in his early thirties and less than forty standing in the room: "Forest Bureau, you have guests at home today, and I will report to you later!" ”

Lin Hongzhi waved his hand and said: "It's all my own people here, there's nothing I can't say, in fact, I also know what you want to say, isn't it about Li Baoguo's?" Notify the Commission for Discipline Inspection, they will go first, explain the problem clearly, and you will arrest people! ”

"Yes," replied the man rather dryly. Then he turned around and walked out of the room with a man.

Lin Hongzhi looked at Lin Hongyuan, a little unhappy, and wanted to try to be a little gentle, but asked very bluntly, "How long are you going to stay?" ”

His second brother looked much more restrained than him, and smiled: "As long as my eldest brother doesn't drive me away, I don't plan to leave." ”

"Really? If you don't go back, what will happen to your wife and children? Lin Hongzhi asked with some suspicion.

It turned out that Lin Hongyuan married a foreign woman and had settled abroad for many years. Lin Hongyuan likes archaeology, he doesn't stay in a country for a long time, and wherever he goes, his wife and children follow him. I really plan not to leave this time, and my wife and children will not go home until a few days late because of visa problems. If it weren't for Lin Hongzhi's "illness" and danger, he wouldn't have rushed back in such a hurry. As soon as I came back, I contacted my junior brother who was also in Sichuan, that is, the old man of my family, and said that I hadn't seen him for more than 20 years, and I should get together.

This is fate, I never thought that my relationship with Huaxia was not ordinary iron, the old man and his second uncle were still brothers. Lin Hongyuan said that he was a little regretful that he did not contact his second senior brother Zao Wou-ki. Second Master Zao Wou-Ki, I haven't heard my dad say it a few times. That's because my dad has only met him once in his life, and it was more than 20 years ago, he is also from Sichuan, but he has never shown up for so many years.

Lin Hongzhi was a little sleepy, but we didn't bother anymore. They all exited the room.

When I came to the living room, Lin Hongyuan put his hands on my shoulders and sighed and said, "It's been more than 20 years, and you were less than three years old at that time, but I didn't expect to grow so big in a blink of an eye." It seems that you have learned all the things of your old man, right? ”

I scratched my head, feeling a little embarrassed. The old man was not polite, he couldn't wait to start counting me, and sneered and said: "Senior brother, don't praise this melon baby, you can be angry with you, never practice well, go to college in Chengdu, what smoking, drinking, playing cards, and picking up girls have all learned, but it won't be the same, "Fu Demon Jue", you say that you are not angry." ”

"What's wrong with this? This is like a man, how can Xuan Gong be said to be successful, and when he is enlightened, it is only a matter of two or three days to learn the above exercises. I haven't heard much from Master about what happened when you were a child, Master said that you have been thinking about Lai Hua for a long time, and you don't have much heart to practice, and now you are not just as powerful. "Uncle Shi is a little unhappy to bring my master over in an orderly manner. The old man sat on the sofa blowing his beard and staring at his eyes, and I called it a good one in my heart.

Uncle Shi said that he saw me when he was a child, but I didn't have any impression at all, in fact, I have always thought it was very strange, and they all said that the older a person gets, the longer he remembers, so many people, when they are twenty-eight or nine, thirty years old, can almost recall one or two things when they were two or three years old. But I'm almost thirty years old, and I don't remember anything before I was ten. No one will believe me when I say it, and I don't even know how to read it from the first to the fourth grade of elementary school.

Uncle Shi saw the goddaughter recognized by his eldest brother, and he liked it very much, and asked Lu Jieyu to call him the second uncle in the future, and he was happy. This girl has recognized another relative.

In the living room, the old man and Huaxia's aunt were chatting. I went out for a walk with Huaxia and Lu Jieyu.

We found a chair by the artificial lake and sat down. I asked Huaxia: "Do you know which pigtail your uncle grabbed Li Baoguo?" ”

Hua Xia threw a pebble into the lake and said, "I know a ball!" But to be honest, as long as this kind of person alarms the Commission for Discipline Inspection, it is either harmful to nature and reason, or corruption and bribery, and it is certainly not a small problem anyway. My uncle didn't do it for a long time, it may be because of insufficient evidence, and the investigation of Li Baoguo should have been carried out secretly for a long time. ”

I shamelessly rested my head on Lu Jieyu's shoulder, and she didn't dodge. I continued to pretend to be natural and said, "You said that your uncle did a really good job of secrecy. But no matter how well he did, there was still a rumor that spread out, otherwise Li Baoguo would not have been able to attack him, and he was so stupid that he just pushed it. ”

"Didn't you say it all? He was just testing to see if my uncle had enough evidence. At that time, what he needed most was time. It's just to buy more time. Hua Xia explained.

I thought to myself, this matter is finally over, no matter what crime Li Baoguo committed, there is always one thing that has to be added, that is, intentional homicide, although I don't have a. I think he must be unable to fly.

I raised my head to look at Lu Jieyu beside me, and asked her as soon as the topic changed: "I've never heard you talk about your parents, where are they?" ”

Lu Jieyu looked into the distance, sighed, and didn't speak for a long time. As soon as I saw his expression, I knew that I was in trouble again.

"I'm dead, I can't even remember how many years I've been dead." Lu Jieyu's answer surprised me, for a moment, I thought it would be this answer, but I quickly rejected it, I didn't think it was possible. Listening to Lu Jieyu say it in person, it still made my heart twitch.

I didn't want to ask any more, but as soon as Hua Xia heard it, he immediately asked, "How did you die?" ”

"My mom committed suicide, my dad was killed!" Lu Jieyu was very flat when she said this, and I couldn't hear a trace of emotional fluctuation in her voice.

This is acting in a movie, Lu Jieyu is the tragic heroine, no one loves her, Zuihou finally met the male protagonist (me) who is willing to love her and love her for a lifetime. So they lived happily ever after.

"Has the murderer been caught?" Hua Xia is about to ask to the end, I want to ask if the murderer is not caught, does he still have to make a cameo appearance as a detective to find out the murderer?

Lu Jieyu smiled unnaturally and said, "Murderer? It's been dead for years, and the ash can't be found. After all this time, I really don't want to talk about it again, you two nasty ghosts always remind me of those sad things. Then he gave me a wryful look, and his hand crept around my waist. It hurt so much that I was about to fall into tears. This mother-in-law is too ruthless.

I rubbed the pubic flesh on my waist, thought of something again, and asked, "The first time I saw you, it was outside the bar, and I saw you holding the phone and scolding the person on the other end, speaking as if it was still in English, it couldn't be your boyfriend, right?" ”

Lu Jieyu was stunned for half a second after hearing this, stood up and ran to the side, made a grimace at me and said, "What? Are you jealous? If you want to know, invite me to dinner in the evening! ”

If it was really his boyfriend, I might have been jealous, but when she scolded people that day, I heard the word "bitch", which is usually scolding women. It is unlikely that she is gay. Look at the way she seduced me, it was clear that she was giving me a hug, if she really liked me, what if I would have been extinct from now on?

"Isn't it just a meal? That's it! ”
