It was still the Hongfu Building.
Before arriving, Xiao Yucheng thought about it. He was very surprised that Taisetsu could invite Master Jin. Although this old man had not shown himself in the past ten years and looked like he was waiting for death in the nursing home, he still had to give this old guy some face.
Fortunately, his idiotic subordinates got lost last night and went somewhere else, so they didn't make a move. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to deal with this old man today.
It was just … there were road signs along the way. Those guys were also locals. How could they get lost?
Damn it.
Xiao Yucheng put a smile on his face, then pushed open the door of the private room. He immediately laughed and said, "Oh, Master Jin! Master Jin, I haven't seen you for a long time! I'm sorry for being late. I will punish myself with three cups of wine later! Why haven't you ordered yet? Waiter! "
Dazhe and Lord Jin had already arrived a step earlier. They sat here and drank tea.
"Xiao Yucheng, don't shout first." Master Jin smiled and waved at Xiao Yucheng.
Xiao Yucheng sat down directly, but he did not look at Taisetsu from beginning to end. "Come, Master Jin, I'll serve you tea!"
"Hehe, it's rare that you still have the heart." Master Jin smiled insincerely.
Xiao Yucheng also smiled insincerely. "What are you talking about? When I first came out, although I was not your underling, at least the hall and your mountain can be regarded as a brotherly alliance. You are an elder. You are always an elder! "
"You are really considerate. There are very few young people like you nowadays." Master Jin nodded. "Xiao Yucheng, since you also said that there is some relationship between us, then shouldn't you be more careful when doing things?"
"Master Jin, look at what you are saying." Xiao Yucheng smiled and said, "Am I the kind of person who does things without discretion? If so, I would not be able to survive. "
Master Jin narrowed his eyes. "Then you and Taisetsu are not here to have a toast today."
"Of course!" Xiao Yucheng slapped the table and said, "Didn't we come here today to chat and drink tea with you … That, Taisetsu, don't you agree?"
Taisetsu took a deep breath and nodded. He then raised his glass to Xiao Yucheng and said, "Director Xiao, please forgive me for offending you. This is my toast to you. "
"It's nothing. We're all civilized people." Xiao Yucheng didn't put on any airs and drank it directly. Then, he suddenly said with a displeased expression, "But I say, Taisetsu, you're really not that nice. If you said that you were Master Jin's man, then we wouldn't have to be so stiff yesterday, right? Forget it, I will find someone else to do the original job. If you don't want to do it, then don't do it! There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. I'll leave it for you! We're all family, so we'll earn money together! "
"We'll talk about it later." Taisetsu nodded calmly.
At this time, Xiao Yucheng said again, "Old Master Jin, you're wrong too!"
Lord Jin asked curiously, "Why? Is there anything wrong with this old man? "
Xiao Yucheng said, "Isn't that so? Why didn't you say that Taisetsu is also your man? If I had known, I wouldn't have let him do those tiring jobs in the past! Aren't you tricking me? If word got out that day that I, Xiao Yucheng, am not good to you, Master Jin's man, how can I face others?! Tell me, isn't it your fault? "
"Okay, okay." Lord Jin chuckled. "It does sound a little like that. Well, I'll punish myself with three glasses later. "
"How can three glasses be enough?" Xiao Yucheng looked unhappy. He looked at Master Jin's frown and laughed, "Of course it's no return until we're drunk, right?!"
… …
This meal took a long time. It was said that no return until we're drunk, but basically, people with good alcohol tolerance could only get 30% drunk.
After Xiao Yucheng's driver picked him up, Big Head dared to come out and quietly picked up Master Jin and Taisetsu.
In the car, Master Jin was counting the Buddhist beads. His face was rosy and he smiled, "This Xiao Yucheng is a character. You saw it tonight. This poisonous snake … This matter is probably not so simple. However, he won't dare to really mess around. This person is a bit arrogant. I saw people in the underworld when they came to celebrate my birthday a few years ago, but they weren't so arrogant. En … Taisetsu, you should avoid contact with him as much as possible in the future. "
"I can see that too." Taisetsu nodded.
"Old man, where are we going now?" Big Head turned around and asked.
Master Jin said indifferently, "Go back to my place. Big Head, you stay at my place tonight. There are some things I need you to do for me tonight. "
"Okay!" Big Head laughed and said, "Old man, do you want me to scrub your back?"
"Why? Do you want to ask for a job from me?" Master Jin smiled and said, "Is it because you see that this old man's broken face is still a bit useful, so you have other thoughts?"
"This … this … hehe."
"Drive. We can talk about it later." Master Jin waved his hand.
Taisetsu did not get involved in the conversation between Master Jin and Big Head. He just sat silently by the side, holding a key in his hand. This was given to him by Luoqiu.
He thought of it at this time because Xiao Yucheng's matter was considered to be suspended … Taisetsu suddenly didn't know how to return this key to someone else.
This kind of house key.
…
…
The sound of knocking on the door.
At this moment, Luoqiu was looking at the photo album that he found upstairs at his home. There were more photos of his father and his grandparents when they were young.
Now it seemed that his father's appearance was really not very similar to his grandparents … Since he accidentally heard this fact from Grandma Xiaochun, Luoqiu had a feeling that his connection with the modern world had been cut off a lot.
It was a very subtle feeling … It didn't seem to be a pity. The degree of surprise in his heart was far less than he imagined. It seemed that he could accept this change subconsciously.
But at the same time, another connection with the modern world seemed to be established unconsciously …
But the sound of knocking on the door interrupted his thoughts. The person who came to see him so late was not someone else, but Luo Zheng, the son of his uncle, Luo Shan.
"Brother Zheng, why are you looking for me so late at night?" Luoqiu opened the door to welcome the guest.
"You must be tired these two days, right?" Luo Zheng walked in.
Luoqiu poured tea for him, shook his head, and said, "I didn't do anything. You are the one who is more tired. You haven't rested for a few nights, right?"
Luo Zheng sighed, and then sat here silently, "Well, I'll just sit for a while and be quiet … The atmosphere at home is not very good. It's annoying."
"It's okay." Luoqiu sat down again and looked at the photo album in his hand.
Luo Zheng looked at Luoqiu in a daze. No one knew what he was thinking. Luoqiu looked up and asked, "What's the matter?"
Luo Zheng leaned over at this moment. After swallowing for a while, he asked, "Ai, Luoqiu, you are a scholar. Why don't you give me some advice?"
Luoqiu closed the photo album and smiled, "Tell me about it. Besides, my opinion is not necessarily good. The key is what you think. "
"I'm just asking." Luo Zheng shook his head, and then said seriously, "Luoqiu, do you think I should tell Taisetsu about my grandmother's news? Oh, it's my ex-brother-in-law. You met him on the way here. Do you still remember him? "
Luoqiu nodded and suddenly asked, "Then why are you in a dilemma?"
"It's because my family doesn't like him." Luo Zheng said helplessly, "But to be honest, although Taisetsu did a lot of bad things outside, he was actually very good to us. You saw it too, right? On the day he picked you up, he gave me something and never asked for anything. Sometimes he even gave me money to give to my sister as pocket money. "
"So you want to call him?"
Luo Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, after all, even people from the neighboring village will come to offer incense, right? What's more, Taisetsu also had good intentions. If I don't tell him … I feel a little sorry for him. Even if I don't let him come to offer condolences … Ai, it's uncomfortable. But I'm afraid that my parents and sister will be uncomfortable and unhappy. "
Luoqiu said with a smile, "You seem to care a lot about this ex-brother-in-law of yours?"
Luo Zheng heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I was only this young when my sister married Taisetsu, right? Back then, I would follow him around every day, feeling like he was a hero. Back then, Taisetsu opened his own garage. Although it wasn't big, it wasn't a problem for him to take care of his family. Heh, to tell you the truth, when I was young, I even thought of learning how to repair cars from him when I grew up. "
"Aren't you doing quite well now?"
Luo Zheng said, "I'm just trying to make a living. What's so bad about it? Humans have to plan for themselves. We can't always stay in the same spot."
Luoqiu paused and said softly, "But you still can't let go of your brother-in-law, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to me to discuss such matters. "
"Probably because there's no one at home to talk to?" Luo Zheng said, "Actually, it's not easy to talk about it … And I feel that since you have seen Taisetsu, you are at least a bystander or something, so there's no pressure to chat … Of course, I'm not saying that we aren't close! We just don't keep in touch. "
"Then what do you think of him?"
"What do I think?" Luo Zheng was stunned. He thought for a while in a daze before sighing and saying, "I feel that it's a pity … To be honest, I still don't understand why Taisetsu has been such a bastard all these years. In my impression, he isn't that kind of person. In fact, my sister persisted for a period of time after her death. She often went to the prison to visit him, but he didn't see anyone and didn't say anything. It was like … like he had lost his soul. Right, the divorce was also proposed by Taisetsu in prison. Later, I also told him that he came out, went in, came out again, went in again, and went in again. It was like he had given up on himself. "
"Didn't you ask him? Since you can't figure it out? "Luoqiu asked.
Luo Zheng sighed and said, "Yes, why wouldn't I? But when it comes to this topic, he always avoids me … But once, while chatting with him, he seemed to have had too much to drink. He said something … like he had to return something to someone and that he had to return it. Then, he collapsed. When he woke up, he didn't say a word. I'm guessing that it might have something to do with Taisetsu and his brother kidnapping and killing the child back then. "
With that said, Luo Zheng looked at Luoqiu and scratched his head. "You don't know, right? I didn't mention it in detail before. "
Luoqiu smiled and said, "Actually, I did look up some old news on my cell phone."
"To think you could find it." Luo Zheng shook his head before his expression turned complicated. "That matter was quite a big deal back then. Later, I heard that the child's mother cried herself blind. Then, the child's father's clothing factory went bankrupt. He abandoned his wife and ran off alone, leaving behind a huge pile of debt. I've heard that the child's mother committed suicide several times, right? I think the boss's name was Chenggong or something … I forgot. So that's how it is. Not only did she cause the death of a child, but she also broke up the family. You might not know this, but my sister didn't do well at work back then. She was criticized by people all day and would cry when she returned home … It was only later that she met her new brother-in-law that her days slowly improved. My sister finally started a new life. Actually, sometimes I think that perhaps it's a good thing that my sister didn't insist. Otherwise, she wouldn't have such good days … Let me tell you something. My sister has recently become pregnant. It's been two months, but she's a little chubby. After all, she's in her mid-thirties. It's normal for her figure to be out of shape. You probably can't tell, right? But let me tell you, my sister was very beautiful when she was young! "
"Do you want supper?" Luoqiu stood up and looked at the time before asking Luo Zheng.
Luo Zheng rubbed his stomach. "Sigh, that's a pretty good idea! Go ahead and do it. I'll get some beer. You can drink it, right? College students aren't afraid! After all, we are brothers! "
"Sure."
…
…
After returning to Lord Jin's villa-level nursing home, Lord Jin didn't say anything. He let Taisetsu go to the temple hall alone. Then, he took Big Head to another room and directed this and that.
Big Head was sweating from moving things, but he didn't dare to complain … Instead, he asked curiously, "Old man, these tables and yellow cloths, what are they? And what's this? Wooden swords? Copper coins? You even know how to perform rituals? "
"It's not a ritual. It's an exorcism. Do you believe it?" Lord Jin said with a smile.
Big Head looked at the things inside and said, "Exorcism, exorcism!? Old, old man, don't scare me. I, Big Head, am timid! "
Big Head heard that this old man had some unusual abilities … Of course, it was just a rumor.
"Don't worry. Even if there are ghosts, you won't see them." Lord Jin took a brush and stuck a little cinnabar on it. He began to write something on the yellow paper while saying, "You are dirty and filthy. Ghosts won't come back to you."
"But, but if there are ghosts, I won't care if I can't see them? Ghosts can see me! The Old Master was scared out of his wits. Are you kidding? "
Lord Jin was too lazy to talk to this guy, but he suddenly asked, "Right, has Taisetsu visited Sister Lin recently?"
Big Head quickly walked to Lord Jin at this moment and lowered his voice, "Old man, don't tell Brother Zhe about this … especially don't tell him that I said it!"
"Why? I, this old man, have stepped forward and put in effort. I almost fell down. Am I not qualified to know about this matter? "
"I didn't mean that. Old man, you are definitely qualified!" Big Head quickly said, "At that time, Taisetsu asked me to do something. He wanted me to register for the Cross Association and let me do some real estate … Where can I get it? If you are looking for girls to vent your anger, I can easily get a dozen, but I really don't know how to do this! If it wasn't because I couldn't find you, and you were willing to take care of these things for old times' sake, how could I, Big Head, do so many things at that time? But, but you know my Brother Zhe's temperament. If he wasn't arrested when he was getting the real estate for Sister Lin, he wouldn't have looked for me. "
"Okay, okay. I am asking you. Has Taisetsu gone to see Sister Lin recently? Why are you saying so much?" Lord Jin glared at Big Head unhappily.
"He looked for her. Just yesterday." Big Head nodded. "But speaking of it, this Sister Lin is really pitiful. She can't remember that she has a son and a husband who ran away a long time ago. She thinks that she is an old woman who is unlucky, blind, and has no relatives. Obviously, she is a person who is less than forty years old, but now she looks like a fifty-one. "
"Sure enough, he looked for her …" Lord Jin nodded and suddenly said, "Big Head, do you still have Sister Lin's birth date?"
"Ah? When I got the real estate for her, there was a copy of the ID card, but this isn't the birth date, right? "Big Head was stunned." Why do you want to look for it? "
"The ID card is also fine. You use the perpetual calendar to calculate the lunar time for me." Lord Jin glared. "Don't ask about other things. Do as I say! In addition, take this talisman. It is for you! "
"What is this? Peace Talisman? "
"Yes! There is a female ghost behind you who likes you. She is waiting to flirt with you! "
"Female ghost!" Big Head's eyes lit up. "This is good. I like it …"
Lord Jin rolled his eyes and ran out of the yard with a porcelain bowl. He said that he was going to get some dew for his son.
…
In front of the temple, Taisetsu was standing in front of the Guanyin statue according to Lord Jin's instructions. He closed his eyes and emptied his mind.
The more he emptied his mind, the clearer some sounds became.
It was still when he was in prison.
"Taisetsu … Did you hear it? That child, he came to find me! He came to find me!! He came to find me!!! "
"Brother Zhe, Brother Zhe … When I was sleeping in the cabin last night, I saw it … I saw it … Ah Long said that he came to take our lives … He also saw it … When I was bathing … water, water …"
"What should we do … What should we do … Little Tiger, he … Little Tiger, he hanged himself yesterday! When the prison guard wasn't paying attention … he hanged himself … It, it came to find me! The next one is me, it's me … it's me … it's me … "
…
"My child!! My child … give it back to me … give it back to me!! God … give it back to me! My child … "
…
"Taisetsu … Do you really want to divorce me?"
…
"Save me …"
…
"Don't come over! Don't come over!!!! "
"Little Tiger!! Don't be impulsive!! "
…
"Brother Zhe, I heard that Ah Long also died in prison. It was said that he died of illness … Alas, one less acquaintance."
…
"Gan Jing, thank you. Aunt Lin made delicious food for you … It would be great if Aunt Lin could really have a son like you. You are so good, good child. "
"Aunt Lin, actually I …"
"What's wrong?"
"No, nothing …"
…
"Wouldn't a policeman's son like you have some opinions about a prisoner like me?"
"But you are out now, aren't you?"
…
Taisetsu suddenly opened his eyes and knelt down in front of the Guanyin statue.
