In a reception room of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, a middle-aged woman is briefing Li Ming, surnamed Zhang, from Nanjing, named Gui Ying, and everyone calls her Aunt Zhang.

This morning, she carried a basket to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, passing by an alley, there is a "fortune teller" gentleman, known as "Zhang Tianshi", is sitting opposite a man in the "word telling", this man from time to time to look around, just to take a look with her, Aunt Zhang was stunned, this familiar face, is Aunt Zhang will never forget the face.

The night before the Japanese devils captured Nanjing, the deafening sound of explosions and bean-like gunfire plunged Nanjing into a hell on earth. Gui Ying vaguely remembered that when she came out of the house with her father, mother, and sister, the streets were full of panicked Nanjing citizens and officers and soldiers defending the city, and many people were crying and shouting about their relatives, running around the streets, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder smoke and blood. Suddenly, a group of soldiers who had just retreated rushed across from them, one by one covered in blood, missing legs and missing arms, bandages on their heads, stretchers, everything, the tide of soldiers generally retreated, and scattered many people looking for relatives in front, the soldiers cursed in their mouths, and the guns in their hands were indiscriminately compared in the crowd, shouting, and from time to time with the sound of gunfire, some people fell, and some people shouted. Gui Ying, who is not familiar with the world, has never seen such a scene, full of devastation, a mess in front of him, the tragic scene makes Gui Ying frightened and hides behind his father, Gui Ying saw a soldier with a pistol on his back, slapped him a few times, and scolded something in his mouth, Dad seemed to know him, pushed Dad hard, and then pulled out a pistol and shot Dad in the chest, Dad immediately fell to the ground, covered in blood, I was stunned by this scene, but I will never forget this familiar face, there is a black mole next to the ear.

At this moment, the roar of airplanes was heard in the air, and the street immediately became even more chaotic, people scattered and ran, and those soldiers were even more like headless flies, and the family was scattered at once, Gui Ying was knocked to the ground by a soldier, and then she felt that many people stepped on her, and at first she could feel the pain in her body, and gradually she didn't know anything.

When Gui Ying woke up again, she didn't know how long it had been, Gui Ying opened her eyes and looked carefully, and when she saw the scene in front of her, Gui Ying fainted again.

Gui Ying didn't know, in fact, the scene she saw was the first day of the Nanjing Massacre by Japanese devils. Gui Ying slowly woke up again, and she found herself lying in a large pile of dead people. The people who died in front of her eyes were ordinary people, men, women, old, young, and a few months old babies, and she saw a baby, crying and sucking the nipple of her already dead mother, still sucking desperately. The mother's belly was picked open by a bayonet, the internal organs flowed out, and blood stained the baby's buttocks. Not far from her, an old man of nearly seventy years old had been nailed to a stake with a bayonet, with no clothes on his body, a cut more than a foot long on his chest, his intestines running to the ground, and his eyes gouged out. Gui Ying didn't dare to look any further, Gui Ying screamed, crawled out of the pile of dead people frantically, ran lifeless on the street, the whole city of Nanjing was dead and silent, there were dead people everywhere, blood and water everywhere, there was not a single living person in sight, only the occasional Japanese devil, and a lewd smile flashed not far away. Gui Ying couldn't see her family, her father, her mother, and her sister, they didn't know where they went, she ran, cried, and finally fell down again.

When Gui Ying slowly opened her eyes, there was an old woman begging for food in front of her, the old woman watched Gui Ying wake up, showed her black and yellow teeth and smiled, stretched out her hand to signal Gui Ying not to speak, Gui Ying only then found herself lying in a broken temple, and there was only this begging old woman in front of her. The old woman brought the old porcelain bowl full of water in her hand to Gui Ying, Gui Ying took a sip of water, looked at the old woman, and the old woman smiled and asked, "Child, how did you escape this catastrophe?" Gui Ying didn't speak, only tears kept flowing down.

In this way, Gui Ying followed the old woman begging for food all the way, asking for food as she went, and counted wherever she went. In this way, Gui Ying didn't know how many years she had walked, how many places she had walked, and finally came to Binhai, and soon the old woman fell ill, and then the old woman died of illness on the streets of Longcheng, leaving Gui Ying alone, guarding the old woman's body and sitting on the side of the road. Passers-by all stopped to look at Gui Ying, but none of them reached out to help her, Gui Ying had tears in her eyes and looked at people with expectant eyes. At this time, he was catching up with a rickshaw pulling by, saw all this, and took in Gui Ying, who happened to have a son who was two years older than Gui Ying, and later became close to her.

Speaking of this sad past, Gui Ying said while wiping her tears, but she thought: "She will never forget the face of her father who killed her, this person is not ordinary, he is in Binhai now." ”

Li Ming comforted her a few words, and then she walked out of the public security bureau building.

Li Ming was thinking, "Fortune teller? There is a black mole next to the ear......"

......

A bluestone paved street along the ups and downs of Binhai City, people come and go, carrying burdens, hawkers, and pulling tricycles, which is very lively.

At the entrance of an alley, there is a table with a bird cage on the table, in which a small bird jumps up and down, and a sign is placed next to it, which reads: "The guest officer does not need to open his mouth, he can measure the blessing and the bad luck; Respond to all requests and turn evil into good fortune for you. ”

There was a "gentleman" sitting at the table, 50 miles away, wearing a green cloth gown, a melon hat on his head, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, on the bridge of his nose.

Li Ming put his hands in his pockets, looked at the east and looked west in the crowd of people, looking at nothing, and then, in front of the "fortune telling" booth, he sat down on a small bench opposite the "fortune teller", and saw the business, the "fortune teller" slowly opened his eyes, took out a small iron box from the drawer of the table, and put a lot of small cards in it, "fortune teller" opened the bird cage and put the small iron box next to the bird, the bird quickly picked up a card with his mouth, and the "fortune teller" took the card and opened it to see, I saw that there was a word "Yi" written on it, but he asked Li Ming, "May I ask this gentleman, what do you want to hexagram, is it marriage or career?" ”

Li Ming replied: "It's a career." ”

The fortune teller let out an "oh", shook his head slightly, and then said, "Yi, it means smooth." 'Yi' has 'ear' for 'yang', and the Zhaoyang is prosperous, vigorous and prosperous; 'Yi' has 'hand' for 'Yang', and the mega promotion is spread and the reputation is great; 'Yi' has 'heart' for 'ti', which is a sign of vigilance and vigilance, honor and pampering. In short, Mr. is the prospect of a successful career and unlimited scenery. ”

Li Ming was "oh, oh" while carefully observing the fortune teller, and there was a birthmark next to his ear 50 years away...... Then he said: "'Yi' has 'heart' for 'ti', and it is 'ti' for 'vigilance', does Mr. mean that I still want to beware of villains secretly engaging in conspiracy and tricks? ”

The fortune teller continued: "Sir has misunderstood, misunderstood, which means that Sir has woken up and should not have any scruples. ”

Li Ming continued: "People's hearts are unpredictable, the heart of harming people is indispensable, the heart of preventing people is indispensable, and there are still black sheep." ”

The fortune teller said, "Yes, yes." ”

All this was clearly seen by the person who looked like a rural woman in a floral cloth dress and a headscarf around her head in the corner of the wall......

The old town of Binhai City, with white walls and black tiles, small bridges and flowing water. On an arched bridge, the fortune teller passed by a peasant woman carrying a vegetable basket with a banner, and the peasant woman paused for a moment, only to hear her whisper to the fortune teller: "The public security officers are already paying attention to you, it is better to be careful, and if you are not careful, you will make a big plan." ”

The fortune teller was stunned for a moment, then nodded his head, signaling that he understood......
