Chapter 42: Changing Lives Against the Heavens 3

readx;? Tang Wan looked at me, and I couldn't explain it, because I didn't know anything about my grandfather's past. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Continuing to walk forward, a man in black came to report one after another: "Several leaders came to mourn and left early." ”

Someone else came to report: "Everything is ready, just wait for the auspicious moment." ”

Yan Gexing was very calm, just listening to the report without saying anything.

When he arrived at the door of the old mansion, Yan Gexing stopped: "Xiao Xia, I have done everything that should be done, and the rest is up to you." ”

I nodded calmly: "Thank you, Mr. Yan for everything that I have done, and I will feel guilty." ”

"Well said. Yan Gexing took a step back, nodded to Tang Wan, and then entered the courtyard of the neighbor's house next door.

"Cheer up. Tang Wan wanted to speak and stopped.

"I will. I nodded.

After the blood vomiting charm and stand-in game experienced by the official lady's family, my vision has become quite broad, and I don't care about the formation put forward by Yan Gexing. Even for him, I don't care about likes and dislikes, I just thank him for helping me when I was in trouble, and I didn't let me lose the face of the Xia family in front of my old neighbors. No matter what his intentions are, I can think about it slowly after my grandfather's funeral.

When I walked into the courtyard, there was an old gentleman with white hair and white beard in the mourning hall who was saluting the portrait of my grandfather. Behind him, there were five young men dressed in famous brands, all of whom saluted respectfully.

"Lao Xia, be careful and cherish on the Huangquan Road!" the old gentleman said in a sad tone, his hand touching his chest, and coughing repeatedly.

The young man behind him hurriedly stepped forward to help him and accompanied him out of the mourning shed.

I stepped forward, knelt on my knees, and kowtowed.

The five young men immediately fell to their knees and bowed to me.

Now, I have recognized who the old gentleman is, he is the most prestigious big man in the rivers and lakes in Huaiyin District, West of Jinan City. In recent years, he has rarely set foot in the rivers and lakes, and I heard that he just closed the door to thank guests, read Buddha and taste tea, and no longer asked about the big and small things on the rivers and lakes. The five young people are the grandchildren of the old gentleman, and they are currently in the limelight in Jinan City, taking care of all kinds of business, eating black, white and gray, and each of them has made their own name along the way. I only know the last one in the list, and everyone in the rivers and lakes calls him "Xiaofei". He became famous in the famous bloody battle in the Paris bar of the Dream of the Sixth Road, where one person took down fifteen of the other party.

"Brother Xia, the old man instructed, if you encounter anything in the future, a phone call will come, ask for people and people, ask for guns and guns, ask for money and money, and you will be driven at will. Xiao Fei, who had a thin face and a white face, rushed to shake my hand.

The other four also bowed to me together, called "Brother Xia".

"Let's go, take care, Xiao!" the old gentleman patted my arm and walked out slowly, and Xiaofei and the other five people also went out.

There are more than a dozen circle chairs outside the mourning shed, and a few people are sitting casually and chatting, among which there are many masters from Huaiyin, Tianqiao, and the city and middle districts. In the north room, there were several women of different ages sitting next to the ice coffin, all holding handkerchiefs and wiping tears, all of them looking extremely unfamiliar.

Listening to Yan Gexing's tone, these people all came to see their grandfather's face, and they had nothing to do with other people.

Before I entered the house, a few black-clothed men came in through the gate, quickly pulled up two black curtains, and erected two cloth walls between the gate of the courtyard and the mourning shed, blocking out all the idle people.

Someone whispered in my ear: "Who's coming?"

"I heard that it's from the Han family in Qingdao-"

"I heard that he is the big head of the Han family! Old man Xia's face is really big enough!"

"Is it really the head of the Han family? It is said that she is known as the first beauty in Qingdao, but unfortunately she is blocked by a cloth and can't see anything......

Several men in black came over and surrounded me into the mourning hall, standing on the right side of the statue.

"Mr. Xia, it's someone from the Han family in Qingdao. In detail, this person is Mr. Xia's junior and your elder. "A man in black whispered to me.

The height of the black curtain is about two meters, which is neither transparent to light nor wind, and strictly blocks everyone from the outside, and this special road is only used by the "big man of the Han family".

Before anyone arrived, I smelled a faint aroma wafting through the air.

It is not an ordinary perfume smell, but a special smell with the nobility of snow, the tranquility of wind, the moisture of rain, and the smoothness of sand, which is organically integrated with all kinds of beautiful smells in nature.

The man did not appear alone, with two women in black dresses in front of him opening the way, followed by two men in black suits.

She always walked in the middle of the four people, dressed in black, tightly wrapping her body, wearing a European-style wide-brimmed top hat on her head, with black veils hanging on all sides, covering all her facial features, and her whole body was full of endless mystery.

After entering the mourning shed, all four of them retreated, leaving her alone to stand in front of her grandfather's statue.

We were five steps apart, but the black veil fluttered so that I couldn't see her face clearly.

"The younger generation is late, and Uncle Xia forgives his sins. She bowed slowly, the black veil on the brim of her hat almost down to the ground.

Her voice is also extremely beautiful, like a violin's bass solo, the words are tactful, and the voice is beautiful.

I bowed back, not daring to stare at her.

"Where's your father?" she said again.

I was slightly stunned because no one had asked me such a question in a long time.

And she repeated, "What about your father? Did he never come back?"

I looked up and politely replied, "Yes, my father hasn't heard from me for a long time." ”

"How long? how long - he really ...... It's really good, it's good......" Her words were complicated, and the deep meaning in them, I could hear, seemed to be slightly resentful.

She stretched out her hand, and the person behind her immediately handed her a black handkerchief.

When she lifted the black veil and held up a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, I saw half of her face.

She was so beautiful, so beautiful that I couldn't find any adjectives to describe it for a while, but I felt as if an international movie star who usually only saw on TV suddenly came to me, so beautiful that I couldn't believe my eyes.

"If he returns, tell him, 'I've come.'" She said.

I didn't dare to ask more, just nodded: "Yes, remember." ”

After wiping her tears, she handed the handkerchief to the side, and the person just now immediately took it.

Then, with her index finger hooked, a young man immediately walked up to me and offered a black leather case with both hands.

"A little pocket money to buy snacks. She whispered.

If it was someone else who sent me money, I might not even think about it and immediately refuse. However, when she said this, if I didn't accept it, it would be tantamount to refuting her face, and if I didn't wait for her to get angry, I couldn't get over it in my heart. So, I immediately took the box and handed it to the man in black.

"Thank you, I don't know what to call you?" I asked respectfully.

"No need. She said.

"How can I contact you if I have any news?" I asked again.

Her beauty was breathtaking, and I felt that the old house was already filled with the fragrance she brought, covering the sky and covering everything.

"I have informants all over the world, and it's very easy for you to find me. She said, waving her hand, "Let's go." ”

Some people just turned around to leave, and with two light coughs, Yan Gexing flashed out from behind the man in black, raised his hand and shouted, "Aunt Han stays." ”

She stopped, but didn't look back.

The young man who brought me the box asked in a rather cold tone, "Who is Your Excellency?"

Yan Gexing took a few steps forward, and was immediately stopped by the young man raising his hand.

"The younger generation's surname is Yan, and when they come from the capital, the family teacher, Jia Yan, and Jia Ci greet Aunt Han together, and ask the younger generation to invite Aunt Han to go north to the capital and be a guest at home when Aunt Han is free. Yan Gexing replied in a clear and polite tone.

"Yan?" she asked with just one word.

"Yes, yes, the junior surname is Yan. Yan Gexing replied.

"Yes, yes, there is such a big thing in Jinan Mansion, and people will naturally come to the capital. Not only the capital, but also the south, southwest, west, and northwest will come to people. Hmph, play like this, Jinan Mansion will be really lively. She said.

Yan Gexing took another step forward, ignoring the young man's obstruction, and said hurriedly: "Aunt Han, the family teacher asked me to bring a sentence, there are many things, they are internal matters of the Seven Kings Society, everyone can solve them by themselves, don't make trouble outside, let the whole world see the joke." Therefore, if possible, the tutor asks you to stay in Qingdao and not come west. ”

She listened, didn't speak, and sneered first.

Yan Gexing added in a low voice: "Aunt Han, in order to make up for your losses, what conditions do you want, tell the juniors, you must-"

She sneered and cut off Yan Gexing's words: "Conditions? What are you? Talk to me about conditions? Are all the people of the Yan family in the capital dead? Let a hairy child who doesn't know anything come out to do things?"

Yan Gexing's face flushed, and he took two steps back.

"Talk, I'm only talking to one person!" she said.

"Aunt Han, please speak, if you are willing to talk to the family teacher, Jia Yan or Jia Ci, I will call to let you know. Hope rose in Yan Gexing's eyes again.

"They? What are they? I said, talking to only one person. Who am I referring to, you know?" she said.

The hope that Yan Gexing's eyes had just shown was shattered again, and in its place, there was a deep annoyance and anger.

"The younger generation understands. He said.

"I'm tired. She said, and slowly walked away surrounded by four people.

Yan Gexing was taken aback, paused again and again, looked at the back of the other party's departure and gritted his teeth.

I always stood on the sidelines and didn't interject much.

The people of the rivers and lakes will use all kinds of means for their own interests, sometimes they plead in a low voice, and sometimes they draw their knives and threaten ruthlessly. In the final analysis, it is just the word "interests".

Seeing this, I suddenly felt a little sorry for Yan Gexing.

In front of me and Tang Wan, he pretended to be high and held Zhizhu in his hands, but in front of the people of the Han family, he was vulnerable and humiliated in front of others.

"I'm sorry. Yan Gexing turned to me, "Saying that at the funeral, it really disturbed Mr. Xia's dream of eternal sleep. ”

I shook my head and said sincerely, "Mr. Yan is too worried, if you need help, just ask." ”

He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Actually...... There are very few things I have to do that that can help. ”

After saying that, he withdrew the same way, sighing all the way.

There was an endless stream of people who came to pay their respects, and it lasted until noon.

When Mrs. Guan had an accident, the general manager of Wen Bai Yuwen was clever, and he invited Mr. Sun, who was outside the south gate, was also a perennial impermanence, and his skills were not worse than Mrs. Guan.

The funeral ceremony unfolded step by step, and with Mr. Sun's shout of "Mr. Xia is rising", I held the clay pot high and fell down heavily on the bluestone street on the side of Qifeng Bridge.

The clay pot was shattered, the tiles were splashed, and I felt that my heart was also broken, and I had said goodbye to my grandfather forever, and I would never see each other again in this life.

From that moment on, my heart was already floating in the air, not in the shell, just passively following Mr. Sun's instructions, doing all kinds of actions, saying all kinds of words, confused, and not knowing things.

When I woke up again, I was already sitting on a bench in the funeral home.

Ten steps to the right, there is a row of huge furnaces.

Accompanying me was Tang Wan, who always held my arm and served as my crutch, so that I would not be able to support it and fall down halfway.

"Is it okay? Do you want to take a pill—" She pulled out a small glass bottle from her backpack, which contained white pills.

"What is it?" I asked.

"That's it...... Drugs that make people feel high, non-toxic and non-dependent. She smiled wryly.

I shook my head, I won't touch drugs, stimulants.

"It's not a drug, it's just something purified by traditional Chinese medicine, and the side effects won't be greater than coffee. She explained.

I shook my head again, then closed my eyes and rested my head on her shoulder.

"Can you hold it up? You have also seen that the people who came today are not idle people, and they are not purely here for condolences, I don't know how many people secretly covet the secrets of the Xia family. Alas, the gentleman is not guilty, but he is guilty, this is the only truth prevailing in the whole world. She sighed quietly.

That secret naturally refers to the "Divine Water Mirror", and the treacherous picture of the Yellow River that I saw in the illusion seems to be related to the "Divine Water Mirror".

"A mirror is not a mirror. I couldn't help but repeat what the gray-robed man had said.

"What?" Tang Wan was puzzled.

I repeated: "The mirror is not a mirror - the 'divine water mirror' is not a mirror, can you understand?"

Tang Wan pondered for a while, and replied hesitantly: "It's not too easy to understand, because the word 'mirror' can only be used on items that can reflect the real world, it is not a mirror, how can it be named after 'mirror'?"

I was also confused, the gray-robed man and Sang Qinghong didn't give me an answer, but threw me more mysteries.

"The body of the official lady has also been transported here. Tang Wan said.

I was stunned, but that was a natural reason, if a person died, if it was a natural death, there was no sign of homicide, of course, it had to be sent to the funeral home for cremation.

"Her death was very strange, and I heard from the medical examiner that the appearance of the body was quite strange. Tang Wan's voice was very low.

"What's weird?" I asked.

People kept walking by the door, but no one pushed it in.

Tang Wan leaned close to my ear: "The forensic doctor said that Aunt Guan has been dead for at least a day and a night or even longer. ”

It's a very short sentence, and I understand every word, but I don't understand the meaning.

"A day, a night, longer?" I asked.

Tang Wan nodded.

"The forensic doctor means that Aunt Guan has been dead for a long time, but we have just been separated for half a day, haven't we?" I asked.

When Aunt Guan left the old mansion, Tang Wan and I were both present, watching her leave alone, this must not be wrong.

Tang Wan smiled bitterly: "Of course, I can testify, but ...... But what's the use of testifying? Today's science and technology can ascertain the time of death and be accurate to the minutes and seconds! What's more, after the medical examiner finished speaking, I also went to see it myself, and the actual situation was exactly the same as what the medical examiner said. For the sake of insurance, I invited the experts of the hospital to come and see it on my personal friend, and finally concluded that the official lady had been dead for more than twenty-four hours——"
