Chapter 41 Section VI

Xu Zai has already "died" twice, so he is no stranger to death, and knows the truth that death is more comfortable than pain, so what he fears most now is not death, but double physical torture.The severed fingers seemed to still be there, and he often thought that they were still moving freely, but a little dull.The only way to confirm it with your eyes is to see the hastily bandaged incision on the palm, which makes you feel helpless. The root of the severed finger was still bleeding, and he could feel that life was passing by bit by bit, which made him somewhat relieved, because he was finally going, and said goodbye to the turbulent situation forever.At many critical junctures, when he was trying to survive, he would always have the idea of ​​"it is better to give up" in his heart, and then doubt the meaning of his own existence. Is such a fragmented life worth living?The teacher's cold palm seemed to be pressing on his wet forehead all the time, allowing his feverish body to temporarily calm down.

But Xu Zai's determination to seek death seems to have not changed at all.He didn't recall the first half of his life, because those were all past events that could not be recalled, even if there was a little so-called "beautiful", apart from the teacher's shortness and gentleness, I am afraid that the only thing he had was his loyalty to Xing Zhigang.This "loyalty" contains too many subtle feelings, so he is a little afraid of Xing Zhigang, and sometimes they give each other fire, and they get closer. He can clearly see the blue mustache on his lips and the pale one on the top of his head. Swirl.Thinking of this level, his heart constricted and he couldn't breathe.YouQi originally planned to die calmly, but as soon as Xing Zhigang's face emerged, those bravery turned into ashes.

He wanted to know where Xing Zhigang was, but he also expected his safety. If Qin Yazhe had found him, he would not have to bother to interrogate him so much.His three fingers were severed, and next, he might be punished by "three knives and six holes". So since last night, he has been counting the arrival of that moment. In the end, it was Qin Yazhe who was waiting. Although Xu Zai was tortured by Qin Yazhe to the point of wanting to die, he didn't hate Qin Yazhe in his bones, on the contrary, he envied him a little.Also starting from Mazi, some people died early and passed away early, some people still run errands like him, and some people are the only reason why they have lived to this extent but still not give up.If there were no "Qin Yazhes", Xu Zai really would not know what sweetness there would be in the life on the cusp. Qin Yazhe is their vision, their dream.

And having a dream is actually a kind of "fatal injury". The person who treated Xu Zai's wound was a frail old man with a hunched back and age spots on his face, but the eyes behind the spectacle lenses were radiant, and his movements were flexible. power.So Xu Zai only felt a slight tingling pain from the wound, which was definitely within the tolerance range.When Chen Guang finished cooking his severed finger and was pushed to the dining table, he was already relaxed. On the table was a large bowl of millet porridge, a small steamed bun, a plate of mustard greens, and a chopping board with minced meat stewed tofu.He never felt hungry, but sat down mechanically.Both the left and right hands have lost their index fingers, so they had to use their thumbs and middle fingers together to hold a big silver spoon.He scooped a spoonful of porridge and held it in his mouth warmly. Before he swallowed it, tears came out.He didn't know why he was crying, but his eyes were hot, and he lost control no matter what he did.

"Liberate me?" "Do you recognize Hua Nongying?" Qin Yazhe put a ring inlaid with porcelain on the table, the yellowed porcelain surface had the handsome face of a teacher, "I heard that her father saved your life?" Hua Nongying?The name was dusted in his heart, like an old garment stuffed somewhere, he had long forgotten to wear it, let alone throw it away. So he shook his head blankly, which turned into a nod again.Because he vaguely remembered that she was a well-known veteran, he had collected money for her several times for the sake of this porcelain face ring, and then one day, the veteran actually asked him to take her away with him.He knew that she would be redeemed the next day and marry a big boss in Shanghai, so he just took it as a joke and said, "Okay, I will wait for you at the pier at six o'clock tomorrow morning." He really went to the pier the next day, but it wasn't It was six o'clock instead of three o'clock in the morning. He was covered in bruises, and half his life had already been lost when he got on the boat.

"It's my fourth concubine, who is recuperating in Hangzhou now." Qin Yazhe took a sip of tea lightly. Xu Zai tried his best to suppress the surprise in his heart: How could he know about this past? "As soon as you speak, you remind me of her. Your accent is very similar, but your Shanghai dialect is more aura." His smile is a little frightening, "So you Cantonese don't give me a bad impression, especially Besides—” Every deliberate pause he made made him nervous. "What's more, you really don't know anything about Xing Zhigang's whereabouts."

"Is this what my three fingers let you understand?" Xu Zai smiled wryly, and took another mouthful of porridge. His movements were much more proficient than before, and the scars on his face also faded. "No, I knew it when I arrested you." He really wanted to ask why, but held back his mouth. "After Xing Zhigang killed Sister Yan, he should have already thought of a way out. You won't be so careless and wait to die in the ballroom. There are only two situations that will make you so easy to be caught by me. One is that you don't know it at all. The inside story, so Xing Zhigang completely left you behind; the second is that you colluded with Xing Zhigang, you came to suffer, and then told the so-called truth to divert my attention, and he took the opportunity to escape from Shanghai. However, after torturing you for so long, but I didn't take half a word out of your mouth, if you were acting, you would be too real, so I would rather choose to believe in the first one."

"So, Lord Qin wants to let me go?" "Yes." Qin Yazhe nodded, and pointed his furry earholes at Xu Zai, "But there is a condition." "What conditions?" "Someone wants to meet you and ask you a question, not about Xing Zhigang, so please answer him." "What if not?" "Then there is only death here." Xu Zai lowered his head to express his acquiescence, but more importantly, he still maintained a strong curiosity and wanted to meet that person. When Xia Bing walked in with a smile, Xu Zai recognized it.Although the room was dimly lit that day, it was definitely the weird guy who met him in Jenny's house, and maybe the one who pushed him into the basement.

"Why did you push me into the basement that day?" "What?" Xia Bing showed a confused face, and Xu Zai saw that he was not acting. "Forget it, what do you want to know?" "I just want to know that you found something in Jenny's book that day. What is it?" Xu Zai finally confirmed that it was not Xia Bing who plotted against him that night. For some reason, he felt relieved, and immediately replied, "It's something like a mortgage receipt." Xia Bing raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I'll go out with you, and I'll call you a rickshaw."

A long-lost sense of relief surged in the two of them at the same time. The moment Xu Zai walked out of the Qin mansion, the first thing Xu Zai did was to pat all his pockets.Du Chunxiao hurriedly waved to them, holding a pack of Huang Huiru cigarettes in his hand. "Do you know what Qin Yazhe meant when he let you go?" Du Chunxiao met the "smoke friend" with a very friendly tone. "Yeah." Xu Zai scratched the itch on his nose with the gauze on his disabled hand, and exhaled smoke, "He wants Xing Zhigang to think that I belong to him, and the subsequent development will be very interesting."

"It's not funny, it's because you might be killed by Xing Zhigang." "He can't protect himself now, how can he get rid of me?" "A person who can kidnap Bi Xiaoqing, you wouldn't be surprised how to get rid of it." Du Chunxiao threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stepped on it, and the cold air rushed into the nasal cavity instead of the warm mist. "I still think he has no reason to bother me." He was stubborn, but also made some kind of ambiguous excuse for Xing Zhigang.Du Chunxiao instantly understood his details, and felt pity in his heart.Because such a man with special nature will not end well in this era, so he said: "Do you know that today's big star Qi Yun has something to do with Mr. Xing?" Xu Zai didn't seem to hear it, and walked towards a rickshaw, his back was as thin as a woman's.
Xing Zhigang has always ignored the death of others, such as Sister Yan, such as Xu Zai, this is a playboy personality cultivated since childhood, selfish and aboveboard.So Qiyun seemed destined to take over the script of "Duckweed Flower".The good thing about this script is that most of the plots are at sea, so we had to board a boat to shoot scenes in the Songjiang and Binhai areas.Originally, it would be the same to shoot these scenes in a reservoir, but Qiyun insisted on going to sea, saying that it would be more realistic to shoot there.What's more, the movie is going to be compared with "Xiangxuehai", so it's absolutely impossible to drop the price.Regarding this decision, Qiyun’s old partner, director Feng Gang, is in favor of it, but the rest of the crew complained that it was already early winter, and when stretching out a finger in the open air would freeze, going to the sea and blowing the waves was tantamount to having a disease .But everyone also wanted to see Qi Yun's ability, she was always delicate and coquettish, it was hard to believe that she could withstand the hardships of filming at sea, so after hearing the decision, everyone kept quiet and just went about it silently. According to Qiyun and Xing Zhigang's plan, the filming boat only had to go to Songjiang, and a stowaway boat bought by Qiyun would pick him up near the high seas and take him to Japan.The plan is simple, but functional.Besides, no one suspected Qiyun, she was safe, and her safety meant that Xing Zhigang was safe. "But, what if the boat arrives at that time, but you were filming and didn't hand me over?" He has always been very suspicious, so severe that people love and hate him at the same time. "So it's best to have someone to respond, but I can't think of anyone to ask, as if no one can be trusted." "Then what should we do?" He pushed all the questions to her, as if he wasn't planning how to save his life. "I have to ask Mr. Xing what to do, and there is no one to rely on." She said angrily, seeing that he didn't refute, she couldn't bear it, and she couldn't help but comfort her, "Actually, there is still a way. Out." "how do you know?" "He came to me and asked about your whereabouts." "Then you can't trust him, maybe he has been bought." He gritted his teeth with murderous intent on his brows, "When are you going to start filming the sea scene? Hurry up!" "Just the day after tomorrow." She looked at him, a little bit resentful that she loved her wrongly.But emotion has never been decided by reason, so I have to follow it, because reason will only make life boring, and emotion is the source of happiness, "If he really sold you in front of Qin Yazhe, I am afraid that the one who cut off a few fingers now One is me, how can I talk to you comfortably here?" He lowered his head and inserted his hands into his hair, as if he was fighting with himself. After a long pause, he raised his eyes and said, "What if he is unreliable?" "If it's unreliable, Mr. Xing can kill me now." Xu Zai slowly came out of the bathroom, wearing a milky white bathrobe, with a red chest and sparkling eyes. "Xu Zai, as long as you're fine!" Xing Zhigang got up excitedly and hugged Xu Zai.Xu Zai smelled the hypocrisy emanating from him, and even saw his red eye circles. "It's best if Boss Xing is okay." "Xu Zai, before you act, you'd better get rid of two more people for me." The affection expressed by Xing Zhigang was like a time-limited script, after acting in this one, it will pass quickly and talk about other things. "What's up?" "Get rid of Zhu Yuanyuan and Mi Lulu for me." "why?" "Because other than Sister Yan, they are the only ones who know that Qi Yun was a lady in a suit at Paramount." Xing Zhigang grabbed Xu Zai's shoulders, as if holding a dangerous hidden weapon. Three days later, Mi Lulu and Zhu Yuanyuan disappeared from the dance hall where they were currently working, and never appeared again.
