In the office of the division headquarters of a certain military region in Beijing, Fu Yuansen was talking with Sun Jindong.

"Chief, allow me to go with you. Sun Jindong pleaded.

"Xiao Sun, you are still young and have a great future here, I have already arranged a new position for you, and my old comrades-in-arms will take good care of you. Fu Yuansen said earnestly: "Sit down and talk, I won't be the chief soon." ”

"Chief, my little grandson has no father and no mother, and you have been the best to me for so many years, in fact, in my heart, I have long regarded you as my father, and I have secretly sworn to follow you for the rest of my life. Sun Jindong said as he spoke, sobbing with excitement: "If you leave the army, I will definitely follow you." ”

"You!" Fu Yuansen sighed and said: "I'm different from you, I retired early and have a pension, so I can live without worry, but if you retire now and follow me, it may be difficult to guarantee even the minimum basic life in the future." ”

"Chief, I know the reason for your early retirement, it should be for Yuqian and your sister. How can I not have a helper in the investigation of this case? I have practiced martial arts, and I will definitely be able to come in handy. In the future, even if there is no arrangement from the state, I can work as a sanda coach, bodybuilding coach, security guard, driver, car repair, and make a living. The most important thing for me is to be able to be there for you all the time. Chief, please allow my request. ”

Suddenly, Sun Jindong knelt down with a "bang": "Chief, if you don't allow it, I will never get up." At this moment, two lines of hot tears flowed down his cheeks, this must be the first time in all these years that he had disobeyed the orders of the chief.

Fu Yuansen's nose was sour, and he sighed: "I'm afraid that in the future, there will be a lot of hardships and dangers." Finally, Fu Yuansen told the real reason, he knew that this case was very complicated, and he was afraid that it would be dangerous and unpredictable to investigate the case by himself, and he didn't want Xiao Sun to follow him through this troubled water.

Sun Jindong said excitedly: "Chief, it is precisely like this that I want to follow you, please approve it." ”

"Okay!" Fu Yuansen walked over, helped Xiao Sun up, and said, "In a few days, after leaving the barracks, there will be no leader, so call me Uncle Fu in the future." ”

After hearing this, Sun Jindong was so excited that he burst into tears, quickly wiped away his tears with his sleeve, and gave a military salute: "Yes!"

At the gate of a certain military region in Beijing, Fu Yuansen and Sun Jindong were dressed in military uniforms, facing the group of people who saw them off, and saluted a standard military salute, and Qi Shuai also saluted on the other side, and the crowd seemed to be able to hear a faint sobbing, and Division Commander Li bit his lip tightly to stop the tears from flowing out, and bit his lip until blood broke out. In this way, the group of people saluted face to face, and stood quietly, like a group of statues, their complicated eyes and expressions mixed together, only the wind flickered in their ears, as if they were mourning for this heart-wrenching part.

In the end, the two of them turned around and left, walking forward, not daring to look back, not daring to look at the parting scene again, Fu Yuansen, who was as strong as steel, was also completely moved at this time, two lines of turbid tears fell from the wrinkled face, quietly dripping on the dry cement pavement, and after bounced up the dust, the ground was gone.

Some people are the lives of soldiers, such as Fu Yuansen and Sun Jindong, who have just entered the army as adults, and have always regarded the army as their home and their comrades-in-arms as their own brothers. For them, this is not only a job, a mission and a duty, but also a part of their own lives, leaving the army, they seem to have everything hollowed out and lost their souls.

In the afternoon of the next day, in front of the "Association for the Promotion of Chinese Classical Art Research". This "promotion association" is located in a remote alley in the downtown area of Beijing, is an old courtyard house, you must know that the courtyard houses in the core area of Beijing are now sky-high, the starting price is also nine figures, this "promotion association" can be stationed here, it seems that there is still a bit of a beginning. Strangely, there is no door plaque outside the gate of this "promotion association", at first glance it is just an ordinary courtyard house, Fu Yuansen knocked on the door gently.

"Squeak~" The door opened, and an old man's head poked out, his hair was gray, his eyes were bright, he was dressed in security clothes, and after looking Fu Yuansen and Sun Jindong up and down, he said, "Hello, what's the matter?"

"Si Guanghua. Fu Yuansen said straight to the point, word by word. The old man hesitated slightly, looked at them solemnly again, and then said politely, "Please come in." ”

Fu Yuansen entered the courtyard, only to find that there is really a hole inside, small bridges and flowing water, rockeries, pavilions, flowers and plants, all the layout is staggered, ingenious, the small space is fully utilized, not at all I feel blocked and congested, as soon as I walk in, I can make people feel comfortable, it can be seen that the owner here is good.

Fu Yuansen and Sun Jindong followed the old man into a room, and after entering the house, a sandalwood fragrance greeted them, which smelled comfortable and peaceful. The living room is very empty, there is a wide ink landscape painting hanging on the wall facing the door, the painting paper has been yellowed, at a glance you know that there are many years, the two sides of the painting are a couplet, with thick traditional Chinese characters written "Buddhism boundless forever beckons a hundred blessings, the divine light has a sense of often accept a thousand auspicious", horizontal criticism "Wande solemn" Below the landscape painting are two wide mahogany Taishi chairs, flanked by two rows of mahogany tables and chairs and screens, and the antique bottles on the table are needless to say, just this complete set of antique mahogany furniture can now be sold at a sky-high price. There are many scenes that high-ranking officials like Fu Yuansen have seen, but the landscape layout in this courtyard and the tables, chairs and furniture in the hall still make him secretly amazed.

"Sit down!" said the old man, pointing respectfully to the two chairs. Then, a graceful girl poured two cups of tea.

"Master Fu is here with a big driver, it is really a blessing for three lives, which makes the humble house shine, and Li has missed the distance, please forgive me. Before anyone arrived, he heard his voice first, which was low and gentle, full of breath, and seemed to have an echo after speaking.

Fu Yuansen was taken aback, and he didn't know how the other party knew his identity, so he hurriedly got up and greeted: "Under Fu Yuansen, he has retired, and he is not a division commander anymore, so call me Lao Fu." The Taoist knows I'm coming?"

"Hehe..."The person who spoke just now turned out to be a short old man, dressed in a Taoist robe, with fair skin, not many wrinkles on his face, and only a part of his hair gray, he really couldn't tell the specific age, this person laughed a few times, and did not answer directly, and said: "You and I meet is fate, and when we see each other today, it is already an arrangement in the dark." ”

Before Fu Yuansen could speak, the powerful Dao chief pointed to the chair and said, "Mr. Fu, how do you call it like that? Sun Jindong sat down with Fu Yuansen.

"Huh?" Li Daochang seemed to be a little surprised and looked at Sun Jindong slightly, and immediately regained his composure and said, "Please use tea." He sat down opposite Fu Yuansen.

Although this tea has no name or surname, it is cultivated in the mountain behind the Taoist temple, and it has been more than 500 years so far. After swallowing, there was a lubricated and refreshing feeling in the throat, from the entire esophagus to the stomach, and then to the internal organs and limbs, there was indeed an indescribable comfort.

"Yes, rare good tea, worth savoring. Fu Yuansen still has a certain amount of research on tea, and after just one sip, he knew that this tea was indeed extraordinary, so that he almost forgot his intention. He settled down and said, "Actually, when I came to visit today, I did have something to ask for, and I don't know if the chief can guide me." "Fu Yuansen has always been a complete atheist, but after this series of strange things, he has more or less begun to doubt his beliefs, and this is an organization that has cooperated with the security department, and Master Li is also recommended by the relay, it seems that there must be something outstanding here.

Li Daochang took a sip of tea and said flatly: "A few days ago, I watched the sky at night and found that Yingfu guarded his heart, pointing to the southeast, but I was afraid that something big would happen. ”

Fu Yuansen really didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this Taoist gourd, as if he was always answering questions, and he was chattering with the ancient vernacular of Wen Crepe, so he could only listen patiently.

"I have heard of what happened to Love, and it is indeed extraordinary, and it is a pity. Li Dao sighed.
