Chapter 9 Chapter 7 Undercover Success

This was the most arduous trek Liu Chuan had ever undertaken in his life. The four of them drove a ten-wheel truck pulling coal from Qinshui, headed east along the Qintai Highway, and turned north after passing Taiyuan. They traveled day and night. , heading towards Beijing. The car was full of black raw coal produced by Qinshui, and Lao Fan and his son Fan Xiaokang took turns driving.When the road is flat and there is no one there, Liu Chuan will also drive for them for a while. This kind of extra-large truck makes Liu Chuan drive tremblingly, so he spends most of his time chatting with Shan Chenggong's daughter Shan Juan in the back seat of the cockpit. , talking about each other's experiences and families.

Shan Juan said that the one thing she believes in most in her life is fate.She said that she didn't know that Liu Chuan had saved her father when she saw Liu Chuan being beaten up by Xiaokang's people for the first time in "Big Rich Man", but somehow she felt that this boy with blood on his face seemed to be different from her Due to fate, this flash of inspiration prompted her to meddle in saving Liu Chuan, and ran to tell Lao Fan on her own initiative. Sitting in this large truck pulling coal, Liu Chuan had the opportunity to see the girl's expression clearly.Shan Juan is a beauty, with plain clothes and plain face, that kind of beauty is different from Ji Wenzhu.Ji Wenzhu is small, gorgeous, pale and slender; while Shan Juan has a sharp outline, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and her hair and skin seem to have never been maintained, all relying on her youthful talent and beauty.She usually doesn't talk much, and once she has something to say, she goes straight to it, and the forthrightness and composure of a northern woman can be seen everywhere.

After they got acquainted with each other, the topic of Shan Juan revolved more around his father.Liu Chuan could feel that she not only missed her father very much, but also almost worshiped him.She told Liu Chuan that her family was very poor since she was a child, and her mother was not only physically sick, but also had a bad temper, which made her more dependent on her father both in life and psychologically.In Shan Juan's eyes, her father is a calm, witty, bold, and careful man, and she has been her only idol since she was a child.However, at the end of the previous year, her father brought her and her mother from Dongzhao, his hometown, to Qinshui, and handed them over to his sworn brother, Lao Fan, and he never came back.At first there was a phone call to greet her, but later there was no news at all.Later, she saw from a newspaper that Lao Fan gave her that her father had participated in a treasury robbery and became a famous criminal.My mother also read the newspaper, but she refused to believe it. She scolded the public security court all day long for wronging innocent people. If Lao Fan didn't bother her, her mother would even go to Beijing to seek justice.

However, Shan Juan believed.She believed that with her father's courage and personality, he could do any earth-shattering event. During the journey for three days and three nights, Liu Chuan gradually became curious about this girl, not only because she had a firm belief like a man, but also because this belief had no moral right or wrong.He asked curiously: "What your father committed was a felony. He robbed a bank and killed a guard. Can you understand and forgive him for committing such a crime? You are still the same as before. love him like that?" Shan Juan did not hesitate for a moment, and replied firmly: "I can understand him, I can forgive him, and I will still love him as before. I know he did something wrong, but he will always be mine. Daddy, I will always be his daughter."

"Every one of us will do wrong things," Liu Chuan said, "But don't you think robbing a bank is too much? They robbed more than twelve million huge sums of money. Among the five of them, Four were killed. Your father escaped the death penalty because he was not directly involved in the scene of the robbery and the scene of the murder. What did you think when you first heard your dad did it, did you never hate him , have you never been afraid?" Shan Juan said: "The first time I saw this incident in the newspaper, I remembered that when I was a child, my father worked as a handyman in a restaurant, and he often brought me delicious food from the work unit. Later he Caught by people in the restaurant, they beat him very hard, when my dad came home with blood on his face, I cried for a long time. But I don't hate my dad for stealing things from the public house, I feel sorry for him Only distressed."

Shan Juan fell silent after saying this, and Liu Chuan fell into the same silence.If it weren't for the conversation with Shan Juan about his father, it might be difficult for him to appreciate the extreme sensibility of women—any eloquent reasoning, any clear right and wrong, would always be powerless and dismissive in the face of the emotions that make them fall into it . This is a long journey, and the big trucks pulling coal are not fast enough.When they set off from Qinshui, they had expected that the car would be on the road for at least three days.For Liu Chuan, who was covered in injuries all over, the three days of turbulence was undoubtedly a torture.A few days ago, Xiaokang and his father, Lao Fan, who beat him in the "big rich man", were obviously used to this kind of long-distance trek. They were strong and energetic, unlike Liu Chuan, who was pampered since childhood.

They sit in the front row of the cockpit and chat while driving.They also talked about single successful cases, but the words flickered and the meaning was unclear.Because Liu Chuan was on a mission, he listened attentively when the front seat talked about the case and Shan Chenggong, but it was difficult for him to sort out the meaning and value of those few words he heard amidst the roar of the truck motor. clues. He just summed up the impression that the Fan family and his son were more concerned about the money, the huge sum of 12 million yuan, which was very strange and whereabouts were unknown.

Liu Chuan only resumed contact with Section Chief Jing the day before the coal truck departed from Qinshui.He slipped out while Lao Fan was unprepared, and dialed Section Chief Jing's mobile phone in a small post office near Fan's house.He heard that Section Chief Jing had already lost his voice because of his disappearance. In the past few days, Liu Chuan also saw plainclothes policemen in the nearby streets from the window of Lao Fan's house.Chief Jing asked him why he only called once when he got off the train, and why he never contacted him again.Liu Chuan reflected on himself. When he walked from the iron gate of the old Fan's house to the "Big Rich" bar, he should have made another phone call with Section Chief Jing. The outside line of the police followed him on that street. of.Liu Chuan thought that Section Chief Jing or plainclothes officers from the Qinshui Public Security Bureau would follow the "big rich man", and thought that it would be okay for him to argue with the Xiaokang gang for the drink money. His carelessness made him bruised , his nose was also swollen high for two days, and before the swelling subsided, he always wondered whether he would be permanently disfigured because of it.

On the evening of the third day after leaving Qinshui, the coal truck finally entered the border of Beijing.When they stopped to eat, Liu Chuan checked his face with the mirror in front of the car. Except for two large bruises that had not receded, the contours of his facial features had returned to normal.Even so, he also knew that he would definitely not be able to see Ji Wenzhu within three to five days after entering Beijing. He knew very well that Ji Wenzhu liked him because of his face, so he must not let this face be stored in her memory. This was their last supper before entering the city, and it was relatively formal.Along the way, Xiaokang showed great concern for Shan Juan, no matter whether he stopped for a meal or took a rest.It can be seen from Xiaokang's behavior that they are a couple of lovers, but Shan Juan is serious about Xiaokang, calling him his elder brother in words, and treating him like an elder brother in his actions.Liu Chuan thought to himself, maybe because Shan Juan's father was still trapped in the capital with unknown life and death, so Shan Juan naturally wouldn't be in the mood to talk about love at this time.

After this dinner, Liu Chuan and Shan Juan did not return to the car. According to the plan determined before the trip, they broke up with Fan and his son here, and took a bus into the city.After they broke up, Lao Fan stayed in the car pulling coal, and Xiaokang voluntarily sent them to the bus stop half a mile away, where he watched Shan Juan get into the car with Liu Chuan, and watched the bus heading towards Drive away slowly in the direction of the setting sun. Although Liu Chuan was born and raised in Beijing, he is not very familiar with the bus routes in the suburbs of Beijing.He backed up the car twice with Shan Juan and took a long detour before he caught a taxi heading for the city at an intersection between urban and rural areas.It was already dark when they arrived in the urban area, and when they arrived at the door of the small hotel in Fengtai, the whole alley was already silent.Shan Juan followed Liu Chuan into the hotel gate in a hurry. She didn't even follow Lao Fan's instructions to look ahead and observe clearly before entering carefully.The door of Shan Chenggong's room was locked, Shan Juan knocked on the door and shouted: "Dad, Dad, it's me, I'm Xiaojuan!"

There was an immediate response in the room, and after a sound of footsteps, the door was opened.This hut is only about ten square meters, standing at the door is enough to see everything in sight. Shan Juan saw that besides the strange man who came to open the door, there was a woman and a young child on the bed. Shan Juan was stunned. Liu Chuan was very calm, he squeezed forward and asked, "Hey, where is the original occupant of this house?" The strange man said: "I don't know, we just moved in today." Shan Juan asked: "Before you lived here, who lived here?" The strange man said: "I don't know, you go to the front and ask." Shan Chenggong was not in the room. Lao Fan and the others had expected it before they left Qinshui, because no matter whether they were in Qinshui or on the way from Qinshui to Beijing, they called the room of this small hotel many times, and none of them Old orders can be found. They retreated from the room to the door of the hotel, and asked the counter where the disabled guest in room 12 had gone.The salesperson yawned and said that the person had left long ago, and he would not tell us the details anywhere. They had no choice but to leave the hotel. When they left the hotel, Liu Chuan called Lao Fan's mobile phone. Lao Fan told them to find a place to live in the city first, and then make plans when the morning dawned. Shan Juan was anxious, with tears in his eyes, and followed Liu Chuan out of the hotel and out of the alley.They stopped at the alley to discuss where to stay, and the result of the discussion was to walk forward.They had just walked a hundred or ten meters long when they suddenly heard someone calling softly in the distance: "Shan Juan! Shan Juan!" Although the voice was not loud, the pronunciation of the words was very clear.Shan Juan and Liu Chuan turned their heads together, and they both saw that Shan Chenggong was limping out of the shadows across the road. In fact, before Liu Chuan left Qinshui, he had already known from Section Chief Jing that Shan Chenggong had canceled the hotel room immediately after he left, and moved to another hotel nearby.According to the observation of the plainclothes officer in charge of surveillance by the Beijing Public Security Bureau, Shan Chenggong spent most of the day running to the opposite side of the alley of the original hotel, mingling among pedestrians on the street, waiting for Liu Chuan to appear.Perhaps he was still worried that when Liu Chuan came back, he would not be led by Lao Fan, but a group of armed police officers with live ammunition. Liu Chuan finally appeared. On the seventh night after Shan successfully transferred his hiding place, he finally saw Liu Chuan at the alley and saw him bring his daughter.He saw them entering the alley, and saw them walking out of the alley. After confirming that there was no danger, Shan successfully walked out of the shadows and called Shan Juan. Liu Chuan saw Shan Chenggong and his daughter hugging tightly on the side of the road, and the father and daughter were crying at the same time.Liu Chuan watched silently from the side. He didn't expect Shan Chenggong to suddenly stretch out his arms after letting go of his daughter, pull him over his body, and hold him in his arms. Shan Chenggong hugged Liu Chuan tightly, and he said, "Son, come with me, godfather promised you that you will live a good life all your life!" Liu Chuan let him hug him without moving. After holding him for a while, he made a muffled sound deep in his chest: "...I want to go home." In the middle of the night, Liu Chuan returned home. When he opened the door with the key, the house was quiet. From the shoes in the dressing room at the door, he knew that Section Chief Jing had not lied to him, and that grandma had indeed been discharged from the hospital and had returned home.Now, at this time, it was two o'clock in the middle of the night.Grandma and the babysitter have already gone to bed. After Liu Chuan broke up with Shan Chenggong's father and daughter on the street, he first talked with Section Chief Jing, and then went to the place specified by Section Chief Jing on the phone to meet him.This location is in an alley not far from the small hotel, on a van parked in that alley.In this van, Liu Chuan met Section Chief Jing and his two generals, and unexpectedly met his immediate boss in Tianhe Prison, Section Chief Zhong of the Tianjian Deportation Section. They talked for a long time in the car with the headlights in the dark. Chief Jing asked Liu Chuan to sneak out of Beijing and return to Qinshui tomorrow with Shan Chenggong, Lao Fan and others.Shan Chenggong has already regarded Liu Chuan as a savior, thinking that father and son, this opportunity is once in a lifetime.If Shan Chenggong really knew the whereabouts of the robbed huge sum of money, he would probably reveal it to Liu Chuan and share it with Liu Chuan.At least, when he thought he was safe, he would be eager to get the huge sum of money and fulfill his promise to repay Liu Chuan.Based on this analysis, the case is not far away from the final victory of all stolen goods. Only then did Liu Chuan understand why Section Chief Jing invited Zhong Da here so late.Obviously, it was set before the meeting that he should return to Qinshui, and no specific return date was set.Liu Chuan has already noticed that once he shows a little war-weariness and retreat, they will invite Zhong Da to persuade and educate him. Although Zhong Da didn't teach Liu Chuan how to obey this time, his expression and words easily dispelled Liu Chuan's rebellion and resistance.When he saw Liu Chuan, he greeted him like a son who had returned from a long way. Except for talking about Liu Chuan's grandmother's illness and the situation of Liu's company, he hardly said a word about the case.He told Liu Chuan that he had been to the hospital twice in the past few days, and Xiao Ke had been there more often than him.Yesterday, Liu Chuan's grandmother was discharged from the hospital. The numbness in her lower limbs is no longer there, and her spirit is recovering well. From now on, she only needs to go to the hospital for acupuncture once a week. It is estimated that the condition will not return under normal circumstances.Lao Zhong said that considering that her condition has just improved, and that the illness is mainly caused by nervous disorders, we just told her that you went out of town for prison work, lest she get angry for you and hinder your recovery.Liu Chuan asked: What about Xiao Ke, she also thinks that I have gone to work for the prison?Lao Zhong was silent for a moment, and said: Xiao Ke didn’t know about it... Now people in the prison are spreading rumors about what bad things you did in the bar outside and the police station took it in. Considering the confidentiality of this case and also for your safety, we Did not come forward to refute the rumors.Liu Chuan was stunned for a long time, then suddenly asked: Did Pang Jiandong know that I was taken in by the Public Security Bureau? Did he tell his girlfriend? This question was asked so thoughtlessly that everyone was stunned, and so was Old Zhong: Pang Jiandong?Didn't his girlfriend blow it up early? Liu Chuan bowed his head in silence, knowing that he lost his composure and blurted out. Lao Zhong went on to say: I also asked my acquaintances in the court to help you inquire about the situation of your company. At present, the court is still in the process of coordinating. They said that your lawyer has been in contact with them, and generally there will be no major actions recently.I went to Wanhe Entertainment City to take a look two days ago. The business is very good and normal. I also told Section Chief Jing about the situation so that he could tell you about it.Now your grandma has also been discharged from the hospital. I picked her up from the hospital yesterday.A few people from your company also went to the office yesterday, and the lawyer came after I got home, and I saw them all.The lawyer later went to your grandma's house and said he wanted her to sign some authorization documents. I guess he told your grandma about the situation in the company.Your grandma was in a good mood when I left yesterday, so I don't think things are too bad on the company side. Lao Zhong didn't try to persuade Liu Chuan how to cooperate with Section Chief Jing, but Liu Chuan is a soft-hearted person, he can't stand soft words from others, and he can't stand people being kind to him, so he bowed his head and remained silent for a while, Finally, he glanced at Section Chief Jing, and said weakly: "I want... to go home first." Liu Chuan barely slept that night. He didn't wake up his grandma after returning home. He put hot water in the big tub in the bathroom and let his bruised body soak in the hot water for a long time.He hadn't had a proper bath in over a week, and his skin and underwear smelled musty. Lying in the big snow-white bathtub at home, looking up at the soft light from the marble lampshade above the head, the light makes the walls with mosaic birds' eyes shine brightly.After taking a bath, Liu Chuan got up from the pool naked, and wrapped two thick white bath towels around his body. The soft and absorbent fibers of the towels pressed his skin carefully. His skin was as smooth as a virgin.He walked out of the smooth marble floor of the bathroom, and stepped barefoot on the thick and soft woolen carpet in the bedroom. He lay down on the dry and warm cotton quilt on the bed, and the long-lost comfort made him feel relaxed all over.In the dead of night, not only did he not feel sleepy at all, but he also woke up as if from a nightmare.This nightmare allowed him to savor the happy life that he had always had but was unconscious of, one by one, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions. The final point of that feeling was inevitably parked in the delicate arms of a girl. It is asparagus.The heartbreaking thoughts made Liu Chuan try to call Ji Wenzhu's cell phone no matter how late it was at this time, but the expectant and cursed phone was still off.Liu Chuan had called this number many times on the way to Qinshui and at Qinshui's small post office, but the dead man's phone was always "off" just like now. Liu Chuan got up at five o'clock in the morning, and went to grandma's room with red eyes that hadn't slept all night.He tiptoed to grandma's bed. Grandma slept soundly, but still had a slight snore.It was the first time Liu Chuan found out that grandma also snores. He wanted to laugh but felt sad at the same time.He carefully looked at the innocent face of grandma in her sleep, and wanted to bid farewell silently but couldn't help but reluctantly. He stood in front of grandma's bed for a long time, and it was very fun to watch grandma snore while sleeping.Before leaving, I thought that I should leave a note for grandma, but after thinking about it, I didn't know what to say. Time did not allow Liu Chuan to think carefully, and he walked out of the house stepping on the moisture of the ground in the early morning.He showed up at the intersection closest to his house at 5:45 in the morning as scheduled. On the other side of the street, on the side of the road where the mist was clearing, the van of the Dongzhao Public Security Bureau was beeping with its engine, and it was already full of bows. The arrow is ready to go.Liu Chuan crossed the street, got into the car, and the car immediately started to shoot towards the west of the city. The car flies like an arrow, and does not hinder the calm conversation in the car.Section Chief Jing took the trouble to explain to Liu Chuan the contact information and precautions for going to Qinshui. He told Liu Chuan that he and the reconnaissance team of Dongzhao City Public Security Bureau would follow him into Qinshui and contact him at any time. support.According to the requirements of the provincial department and the Ministry of Public Security, the Qinshui City Public Security Bureau will actively cooperate to ensure his safety.However, although Shan Chenggong is charitable on the surface, he is the main criminal who robbed the treasury and the murder suspect of Tong Baolian's murder. It goes without saying that he is suspicious and cruel by nature; The side that runs rampant is the hegemony.How to protect yourself among this group of people requires a lot of thought and care at all times.No matter how we strengthen protection on the periphery, it is beyond our reach after all, and what is more important is your own self-protection. Don't panic in case of trouble. Once your life is in danger, you can immediately suspend the mission and get out urgently. Section Chief Jing kept talking, while Liu Chuan listened silently. Section Chief Jing looked at Liu Chuan's expression, and finally stopped and asked, "Did you understand everything? You see, what else do you need to ask? If you have any questions or requests, think about it quickly, we still have time to discuss." Liu Chuan thought for a while, and then slowly opened his mouth. No one in the car, including Section Chief Jing, thought that Liu Chuan would make such an irrelevant request.He took out 1,500 yuan from his body, which he had just brought out from home, and he handed it to Section Chief Jing and said, "Can you go to Lufthansa and help me buy a lighter for smoking cigars? The Davidoff brand is about 1,000 yuan more, it doesn’t matter if it’s more expensive, if you don’t have enough money, you should put it up first, and I’ll return it to you when I come back.” Section Chief Jing was stunned: "Are you smoking cigars? How much money did you bring with you this time? How can you not expose it like this! Smoking cigars is a high consumption, and people like you who can't wait to sell themselves for money, how can you?" Can I smoke cigars?" Liu Chuan said: "I don't smoke. I bought this lighter as a gift. Today is the third day, please. Please help me buy it for a girl today. Her name is Ji Wenzhu. Please remember her phone number." .” Section Chief Jing took the money and wrote down Ji Wenzhu's phone number.The number and money were handed over to a criminal policeman from the Dongzhao City Bureau in the car, and he was told to do it well.Liu Chuan asked the criminal policeman again, telling him what to say when he saw Ji Wenzhu, which made Section Chief Jing and Dongzhao criminal policemen laugh, promising to appease him, and saying yes, don't worry!They may all find it strange that Liu Chuan doesn't like to talk about business, but why is he so mother-in-law when it comes to such trivial things as buying things for girls? At this time, the van had already driven to the edge of downtown Beijing, and stopped in front of a public phone booth on the side of the road.Section Chief Jing got off the car with Liu Chuan, and used the coin-operated phone to call Shan Juan's cell phone.According to the agreement when Liu Chuan broke up with the father and daughter of Shan's family last night, Shan Chenggong would let Lao Fan's coal truck take the risk of waiting in the suburbs of Beijing until the sunrise this morning. Call him to let him know your decision before ordering.They waited until half past seven at the most, and they could not leave Beijing later than that time. Shan Juan's phone was connected, and after two sentences, Shan successfully answered it.Section Chief Jing stood on the side of the phone booth, and he only heard Liu Chuan say into the microphone: "Godfather, I've made up my mind, I'll go with you!" Liu Chuan arrived at the county boundary of Yanqing by taxi at 7:45 a.m. that day. When he got out of the taxi and walked towards the anxiously waiting coal truck, Shan Juan and Xiaokang had just finished a quarrel.Of course, the focus of the quarrel was still Liu Chuan. Seeing Liu Chuan's late arrival, Xiaokang didn't want to wait any longer, so he urged his father to hurry up and get on the road.After all, this is not Qin Shui, they are unfamiliar people, although Shan Chenggong hid in the modified cabinet under the cockpit seat cushion, but if he stayed here for a moment, the danger would increase by 10%. But Liu Chuan hadn't arrived yet, and Shan Juan was unwilling to leave. She said that her father had promised Liu Chuan to go on the road together when he came.The dispute between the two later turned into a fierce conflict. Even Lao Fan could hear that the subject of the conflict had nothing to do with the magnitude of the danger, but the white-faced boy named Liu Chuan. He could hear that his son's fury was entirely due to Shan Juan's enthusiasm for Liu Chuan, and Xiaokang could no longer remain indifferent to that kind of concern that was no longer just a matter of fact.When the two young men began to speak ill at each other and belittle each other in a rage, and when Xiaokang was furious and blatantly called Shan Juan and Liu Chuan stinky and shameless, Lao Fan sternly stopped his son. Lao Fan said: "Xiaokang, keep your mouth clean. You can stay in the car for me. If you don't walk away, it's not your turn to give orders." Only then did Xiaokang stop talking, and resentfully slammed the door and got into the car.Although Xiaokang is vicious, he still has to bow his head to his father.Maybe his father didn't want to turn against the Shan family at this time, so he didn't allow his son to intensify the situation uncontrollably.Fortunately, Liu Chuan rushed over quickly. When they set off on the road, Liu Chuan could still see the blue veins on both sides of Xiaokang's forehead that had not faded. Shan Juan was fine, the anger subsided after seeing Liu Chuan, and he sat side by side with Liu Chuan in the back seat of the carriage, chatting and laughing freely.I don't know if Liu Chuan made her feel happy, or he was trying to make her feel better. Liu Chuan also found that on their way back, Shan Juan hardly had any verbal communication with Xiaokang.He can see that Xiaokang has used actions to please Shan Juan many times, but Shan Juan always looks like he doesn't answer. In order to avoid conflicts and avoid irritating Xiaokang, Liu Chuan also tried to minimize his private conversations with Shan Juan along the way, and he tried to remain silent in front of Shan Juan.After the car drove into Hebei, Shan Chenggong stopped hiding under his seat, and he chatted more with Lao Shan.Talk about their future, but also about the past.Talking about the past, Liu Chuan couldn't help talking about his grandma. He remembered that in the first grade of elementary school, a teacher left homework and asked everyone to use "I am..." to make sentences. Most of the other students said: I am a young pioneer, I am an obedient children, I am a Beijinger who loves to work, etc., the simplest one also wrote "I am a boy" and so on.Liu Chuan went home and asked grandma: Grandma, what am I?Grandma was reading the newspaper and answered impatiently: "What are you?"you are human!Liu Chuan then made a sentence: I am a human being!As a result, the teacher severely deducted points.Liu Chuan’s grandma made a special fuss at school about this matter, and seriously discussed and debated with the teacher: What’s wrong with me being a human being? Sentence making is a grammar exercise, and the subject, verb and object are all that is required. Don’t say “I am human” is not wrong. Even if you write "I am a dog", you shouldn't make a mistake in terms of grammatical structure! Shan Chenggong also recalled his youth, and his memory of youth most is fighting.With parents, neighbors, teachers, classmates, enemies on all sides.He said that the first person who made him feel love and compassion was a woman, who later became his wife.Although his wife has a bad temper and is idle now, she has nothing to do but play cards and gamble, but Shan Chenggong will never forget how beautiful and gentle she was more than 20 years ago.They once had a night of ecstasy under a cliff by the sea, where they became pregnant with Shan Juan.The reason for giving Shan Juan this name is because they saw an astonishingly beautiful cluster of rhododendrons blooming on the cliff for the first time in their lives on that morning of sex. Liu Chuan also asked Shan Juan about the origin of the word Juan, and Shan Juan's answer was equally romantic: Before my mother became pregnant with me, there was only one time with my father.My mother's deepest impression that time was the cuckoo on the cliff by the sea.On one side is the rising sun on the sea, and on the other side is the red cuckoo that is as red as the sun. At that moment, my mother decided to marry her with her body, and she will live with my dad for the rest of her life. The review of the past greatly shortens the journey, and the rhythmic shaking of the car is as numb and lazy as those innocuous romances.After the car drove through Datong, Shanxi Province, Liu Chuan suddenly became alert. He found that they had left the original road they came from and took an unfamiliar route.Although there are fewer vehicles and fewer trucks on this route, the road is rough and rough, which only increases the fatigue and difficulty of the journey. After a bumpy day, Liu Chuan finally discovered that their car full of raw coal was heading towards Dongzhao City. This discovery made him deny his original judgment.It seems that they detoured this route, not just for safety, but for another unknown destination.In the evening of the second day of the whole journey, their car even deviated from the main road and turned into a narrow path that didn't even have a road sign. After ten minutes of shaking on this path, they saw a wide river.The golden rays of the setting sun illuminated the lava-like river, and also illuminated the originally gloomy banks.The forests on both sides of the strait are completely dyed, just like autumn. Lao Fan parked his car in front of a disused bridge, and there was no trace of people or birds in the sky or on the ground. Lao Fan and Lao Dan got out of the car together and strode towards the wooden bridge. "This is the Lusha River!" Shan Chenggong said, "There is no one here." Liu Chuan and Shan Juan also got out of the car and followed them to the bridge.Xiaokang was the last one to get out of the car and stood at the front of the car without moving, keeping a distance from them. Liu Chuan saw that the two adults had already stepped onto the crumbling bridge body, holding on to the crumbling bridge railing to look down.Facing the rolling river under the bridge, Shan Chenggong spoke vaguely, pointing and pointing, and said something to Lao Fan, but Lao Fan's voice was so clear and thick that Liu Chuan could hear every word. "How many bags have you buried in total? Twelve million bills, can two bags fit?" "It can fit," Shan Chenggong replied calmly, "One packs US dollars, and the other packs RMB. The RMB is only about three million yuan, and the US dollar is about nine hundred thousand yuan. The two bags are just full." "Buried there?" Lao Fan asked with interest, pointing to a bank washed by the river. "It's buried over there." Shan Chenggong pointed to a big tree on the bank whose roots had been submerged by water, and said, "At that time, the roads and small roads in this area were blocked by the armed police, and they stopped cars when they saw them." They searched for anyone they saw, even the bus, so the third child and the others had to bury the money first. They didn't know that the river was in the dry season at that time, and after the burial, it suddenly rained heavily for a week. There was a flood, and the place where the money was buried was flooded. Later, the third child told me about this place, and I visited it once. When I came to visit, the water had already fallen, and the roots of the tree It was exposed by the flood, and the river bank was washed away. It was impossible for the money to be buried deep at that time. If you live alone, your life will be tied, and you will end up with nothing, which can only be said to be God's will." Lao Fan seemed to be absent-minded when he heard it. He squinted his eyes, leaned out while leaning on the bridge railing, and carefully inspected the big tree with a crooked trunk and the barren soil on both sides of the big tree. He asked, "Did you Have you found the right place, is this the place that the third child mentioned?" Shan Chenggong smiled faintly: "Twelve million, would I be confused and look for the wrong place?" Lao Fan straightened up, thought about it, and asked again: "Could the third child have said something wrong?" "The third child first talked about the bridge, and then he talked about the crooked-neck tree under the bridge. There is only such a tree here, and he can't be wrong about it." Liu Chuan watched them whispering to each other, the voice was blurred and clear, and both he and Shan Juan could understand the general meaning.Liu Chuan noticed that Shan Juan looked a little nervous, staring back and forth at the faces of the two adults.On the surface, those two faces were both warm and not angry, but old Fan's warm and not angry voice could be heard, it was almost a trustless interrogation. This back-and-forth conversation finally ended peacefully, and the two adults left the bridge and walked towards the truck.Xiaokang also seemed to see that the faces of his parents were all deliberately concealing some strangeness, so he couldn't help but whispered to Shan Juan who was walking behind: "What's the matter, are you okay?" Shan Juan didn't answer.Perhaps she didn't answer because she didn't know how to answer. The coal cars left the great river and continued on, rejoining the main road.They walked another sleepy night on the trunk road, and the five people in the same car were all silent except for one or two business-related whispers along the way. The road at night is dark and quiet like a space-time tunnel. Liu Chuan couldn't figure out when he fell asleep, he couldn't even figure out whether he was sleeping soundly or half asleep.Sometimes he could feel cars moving and people talking, and sometimes he felt that everything was in a dream.In the early morning, he was sure that he really woke up. Although his eyes were closed, the voice in his ears was so real and close at hand. When he realized that it was Fan Bencai whispering to Fan Xiaokang, he deliberately didn't open his eyes. He was still lying on the back seat, sleeping soundly, breathing evenly, and motionless.The voices of the Fan family father and son seemed a bit secretive, which made Liu Chuan conclude that the Shan family father and daughter must not be in the car at this time. Old Fan's voice: "I have been friends with Shan Juan's father for twenty years, and this time I have taken such a big risk to come here to save him. It would be embarrassing for him to hide it from me. I'll watch it for a few more days, yes?" A fox always has a tail." Xiaokang's voice: "Perhaps he really didn't get the money. This case has been tried by the Public Security Court for at least half a year. If Lao Shan wants to save his life, he should have spit out the money to get a lighter sentence." Old Fan's voice: "It's hard to say. We don't know what he said when the court tried him. No one can tell whether they robbed the money and divided it up on the spot or if it was held by one person. Even if everyone divides it equally Lao Dan should have two or three million hidden in his hand. I think this kid surnamed Liu might know a little bit of the inside story. The boss has the goods in his hand, what are you doing here? Now these kids are competing with each other!" Liu Chuan's eyes were still closed, but cold sweat broke out from his clothes.He could hear Lao Fan and his son talking about him.They spoke of him more quietly, almost a whisper. Xiaokang's voice: "Old Dan is a treacherous and cunning man. He has money in his pocket that even his wife can hide from him. How could he reveal it to this kid. I know this kid. He and Lao Dan didn't come to Qinshui for money at all. He's doing it for his fucking Shan Juan! A few days ago, as soon as you took him to our house, I saw that Shan Juan's eyes were wrong, and you still rely on me to get angry at Shan Juan, won't I be angry?" It was Lao Fan's voice again: "If you want me to say that you bastard is not promising at all, you only know how to think about a woman all day long, I think you will be useless if you continue..." Their voices gradually amplified again, but they were immediately confused by the sound of the car door opening. From the sound, it could be heard that they got out of the car from both sides at the same time. As the car door slammed shut, there was suddenly silence around. Liu Chuan opened his eyes and saw that it was dawn and the car was parked on the side of the road. As expected, the old Fan and his son in the front seat were no longer in the car.He leaned slightly and looked out quietly through the car window. He saw Lao Shan and his daughter buying food at a roadside breakfast stall. Lao Fan and his son Xiaokang casually greeted them and shook their heads. Walked slowly with his back bent.
