Chapter 9 Chapter 7 The Christopher Code
In a quiet city with few vehicles, Dr. Zhong drove the Buick very fast along Jinshui Road.The street lights outside the window reflected in the car window, dancing blurred colors.Lang Zhou listened quietly about his bizarre life experience.
Professor Huang rushed to Guangzhou to clean up the mess. Unexpectedly, Feng Zhiyang and Ma Jun, in order to keep their secrets and escape from Professor Huang's control, even set up a trap carefully to coerce Liu Hanyin in an attempt to eliminate Professor Huang.Unexpectedly, Professor Huang saw through their intentions and ran away when they showed their vicious looks.
The three of Feng Zhiyang hunted desperately and destroyed Professor Huang's laboratories in Guangzhou and Shanghai.In the laboratory, they found a record and found that Professor Huang was still carrying out the psychological cloning project. There were only two experimental subjects in the second phase of the project, one male and one female.
"The female is me. Experiment No. 5." Du Ruo said with a wry smile, "The male is you. No. 4."
Lang Zhou was trembling all over, his face was buried tightly in Du Ruo's lap, and his shoulders kept shrugging.
The male's information is more detailed, Lang Zhou, twelve years old.The experiment site is a small town in the north, Baiji Town.Lang Zhou's information seemed to be about to be discarded, and it was not strictly encrypted, so they got it easily.But the girl's information is relatively secret, they can't get more clues, they only know that the girl is called Su Er.I don't know anything else.
The three of them decided to go to Baiji Town first, eliminate the No. 4 experimental product Lang Zhou, and at the same time wait for a rabbit to kill Professor Huang.At that time, they never thought that Professor Huang would dare to return to Baiji Town after he escaped, and followed them one after the other.It's just that when they arrived in Baiji Town, they heard that one day ago, Professor Huang disappeared strangely while taking his son Lang Zhou to the mountain to hunt rabbits.
At that time, they thought that Professor Huang knew they were coming and fled.But after inquiring carefully, I knew something was wrong. The mysterious disappearance was too mysterious. It was simply that Professor Huang knew that these three "evil sons" were coming to kill him, and deliberately disappeared in a bizarre way to demonstrate to them.
The three of them were a little frightened, they couldn't figure out how Professor Huang disappeared, and at the same time, they didn't know how to deal with the No. 4 experimental product left by Professor Huang.According to Liu Hanyin's idea, he could just kill him with a single knife, but Feng Zhiyang and Ma Jun are wealthy people, and they are unwilling to act rashly until they understand Professor Huang's purpose.Because Professor Huang left No. 4 Lang Zhou, it was clear that they wanted them to kill him.
The three of them listened to Lang Zhou's tone through various channels, and found that the child was a bit stupid, and he was ignorant of the whole inside story.The three lost interest in him and did not want to get involved in a life lawsuit for nothing, so they left Baiji Town and continued to search for the whereabouts of their father—Professor Huang asked them to call himself father when raising them.
During the six years after Professor Huang disappeared, the three sons searched for their father as perseveringly as King Oedipus, trying every means to kill him, but they were unable to do so.Knowing that his father was with Experiment No. 5, Su Er, he couldn't find the location of No. 5 Experiment.As time went by, the rift between the three grew wider. Both Ma Jun and Liu Hanyin were full of fear of Feng Zhiyang, especially Liu Hanyin, who simply looked at "Feng".But when Ma Jun inherited the Ma Holding Group, the situation changed.With wealth in his hands, Ma Jun's courage doubled, and he did not want to live in the shadow of Feng Zhiyang anymore, so he drew Liu Hanyin to fight back against Feng Zhiyang.Feng Zhiyang has lost his position of authority, and he is quite scrupulous about the Ma Holding Group. The three of them basically do not interfere with each other, and do not communicate with each other until death.
Su Er was the girl Du Ruo was destined to replace.After Professor Huang disappeared mysteriously on the snowy wasteland of Baiji Town, all his materials and hard work were destroyed by three evil sons. Perhaps because of this, he lost his ambition, so he stayed with Du Ruo in Longyan, Fujian, as if trying to be a Good father.
But at that time, Du Ruo's name was Su Er.Professor Huang is still trying to use Du Ruo as the No. 5 experimental product of the psychological cloning project, replacing Su Er's role and mastering the wealth of Baiyang Shipping.But his attitude towards Du Ruo was much better than the previous four subjects. Although he kept everything from her, his kindness made Du Ruo extremely warm.
However, Professor Huang lost his laboratory, and he didn't control Du Ruo's appearance perfectly. He always complained that she didn't look like Su Er. The few words he said most often were:
"Father has pinned all his hopes on you."
"Oh, how nice it would be for you to be like Su Er."
"You're always not as tall as Su'er."
"You're too skinny, you need to eat more to look like Su Er."
"Can't you learn like Su Er? How good is his English? How good is his grade?"
He even asked Du Ruo: "If you are always disobedient, one day, when I can no longer think or speak, what should I do?" He asked himself and answered, "When that moment comes, don't make me accept unnecessary Torture." Then he shook Du Ruo's hand, with a haggard look on his face.
Du Ruo didn't understand why her father insisted on comparing herself with other girls, which made her full of rebellious psychology.She couldn't figure it out, obviously I am your daughter, but why do you always think other people's children are better?I am not her, I have my own personality, my own life, and my own freedom, why should I have to look like her?How is she better than me?
Du Ruo loves her father very much, and her father's request made her suffer, but her love for him made her unwilling to disobey him, so she usually consciously opposed him, but she was under too much psychological pressure. Formed the habit of sleepwalking.During her sleepwalking, she ate desperately, hoping that she would grow fatter and taller, so as to meet her father's requirements, satisfy her father, and make him love her.As a result—Dr. Zhong has researched it out—Du Ruo's physique has been modified by the drugs of the "Psychological Cloning Project", and mental activities have too strong an impact on her physiology. Accommodates absorption.
Finally one day, when Du Ruo was sixteen or seventeen years old, her father repeated such words again, and she couldn't bear it anymore, so she ran away from home angrily.She studied and worked outside, and wandered in various cities for more than half a year, but she couldn't let go of her father in her heart.So she went home again.At this time, there was no one in the house, and my father seemed to have gone out to look for him, and he didn't come back for a long time.Du Ruo remembered the anxious and painful look of his father when he was looking for him, and began to regret running away from home, crying alone in the empty room.Then she sat on the stairs every day and waited for her father to come back. She waited for many days, until when she was about to despair, her father came back in a hurry.
There is nothing wrong with what Du Ruogang said about his life experience when he met Lang Zhou, the only difference is that he concealed what his father said to him.
At that time, as soon as the father entered the door, he suddenly saw Du Ruo. He didn't have an ecstatic expression. Instead, he sat down on the sofa in pain, hugged his head, and said, "Why are you back again? Son, hurry up, the farther you are away As far away as possible, never come back."
Du Ruo was in a daze.The father's eyes were full of tears, and he touched her head: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and my daughter has become a big girl. I'm relieved. It's not as hard as Xiao Lang Zhou. In the future, you will live alone, and no one will bully you again." gone."
Du Ruo knew that a huge change had happened, so she hugged her father and asked.So, Professor Huang explained the whole "Psychological Cloning Project" to her in detail.Finally, he said: "I originally planned to let you replace Su Er's identity, so that I could protect myself. But although those three evil sons have been unable to find me for so many years, they have found Su Er's true identity. They...they actually set up A plan to poison Sue by putting cyanide in her boyfriend's drink during a confrontation with her playboy boyfriend. They then kidnap Sue and hang her in a park , and also remitted half a million yuan to the playboy's wife in the name of Su Er, creating the illusion of committing suicide due to love. In this way, your fate will be the same as that of Liu Hanyin, and you will never have a bright future. Feng Zhiyang That little bastard... only he can do such a cruel thing!"
At that time, Du Ruo didn't have any violent reaction to the news. Although he was stunned by the "Psychological Cloning Project", he felt a sense of relief when he thought of Su'er's death and his father would not force him to become another person. He said: "Father, it doesn't matter. I don't need wealth, I don't need status, and I don't want to be a famous lady. I just want to be by your side and live a good life."
Professor Huang shook his head: "It's too late. After all, I fell into Feng Zhiyang's trick. He tried his best to set up such a complicated murder plan to get rid of Su Er, but he actually wanted to lure me to come forward. When I heard the news, I was immediately arrested. Shocked, I thought that Su Er should not be a person with this personality. I was suspicious, so I went to Guangzhou to investigate the truth, and suddenly fell into Feng Zhiyang's trap, exposing myself. I tried my best to escape, and now Feng Zhiyang and the others have followed Come here. We must separate so that you will not be exposed. No matter whether I live or die, you must remain anonymous from now on and live the life you like."
"No!" Du Ruo cried, "I would rather be killed by them than be separated from you."
Professor Huang smiled confidently: "They want to kill you, we have to see if they have the guts. But in order to prevent them from killing you, we must separate. Boy, wait for me here for ten minutes, I will go to the house Pack something. In ten minutes, you'll know what to do."
After speaking, Professor Huang walked into his room.The room they live in is a community residence with two bedrooms and two living rooms, one room for Du Ruo and one room for Professor Huang.After Professor Huang entered the room, Du Ruo waited just like Lang Zhou did seven years ago.But after half an hour, Professor Huang did not come out.
Du Ruo was a little worried, knocked on the door, but no one answered, she opened the door, and suddenly found that there was no one in the room.Professor Huang lived in poverty, and there was nothing in the room except a bookshelf on one wall, which was full of books, a table and a chair, and white walls on three sides.Du Ruo looked under the bed and the bookshelves, and even knocked on the floor, but found nothing.The father just disappeared out of thin air.
Unwilling to be reconciled, Du Ruo hastily went to call the police.When the police heard this, they felt strange. A large group of people came and searched carefully. There was no mezzanine behind the bookshelves, no holes in the floor, the anti-theft net outside the window was in good condition, and the steel bars were covered with dust. As long as Du Ruo stood At the door, it is impossible for anyone to walk out of this closed room without a sound.
The police thought that Du Ruo had hallucinations, so they closed the team and left.Du Ruo remembered his father's words and knew that he left her on purpose, so he stopped being sad and left home quietly, named himself Du Ruo, and stayed in Shanghai ever since.
Du Ruo didn't know until he met Feng Zhiyang after delivering his resume that the three of Feng Zhiyang were indeed following his father all the way.But just after arriving in Longyan, I heard rumors all over the city about the disappearance of Professor Huang.At that time, Feng Zhiyang and the others were petrified, especially Liu Hanyin, who actually urinated his pants on the spot.This was the second time he had disappeared, and they both disappeared out of thin air when they were about to catch up with him.The three felt unspeakable fear. Professor Huang already had a kind of magical power in their minds, and now they were even more afraid of their father. They watched Du Ruo leave without daring to take any action.
Du Ruo is terrified of Feng Zhiyang's entanglement, but also has a strong loneliness. Of the four experimental subjects, only her purpose of looking for her father is for love, while the others are for hatred and killing.She suddenly thought of the child in Baiji Town, is he okay now?Is he also looking for his father?So Du Ruo began to work hard to find the child named Lang Zhou.She had been to Baiji Town and found out that Lang Zhou left very early.Du Ku had no choice, so he looked for it on the Internet.
"A few months ago, there was a period of time when your nickname on QQ was 'Looking for Father', and I tentatively added you as a friend based on this." Du Ruo said, "Then I asked a little, and you openly put My childhood experience told me, and then I asked your name, and you said your name was Lang Zhou, so I knew it, and I finally found you."
Lang Zhou slowly raised his face, which was stained with tears, and squeezed out an ugly smile, and said, "It turns out...it turns out that my father disappeared to protect us! That means he didn't abandon me, but Feng Zhiyang and the others I was still young when I came to Baiji Town after chasing him down, so why did I suffer so much?"
Du Ruo stroked his hair silently, and nodded slightly.Lang Zhou smiled gratifiedly, buried his head in her lap, and fell asleep like a child.Three hours later, the sky was already slightly bright, and the cold wind whizzed past the window, and a dense layer of water droplets condensed on the inside of the glass.It seems that someone shed tears last night.Du Ruo stayed up all night.
Du Ruo put Lang Zhou on his back and let him sleep on his side, then switched places with Dr. Zhong, and drove the car by himself to let Dr. Zhong sleep in the passenger seat, taking turns to rest without stopping.Just passing through Jiujiang, Dr. Zhong went to the Lufu Hotel to retrieve his clothes, and immediately dressed in suits and leather shoes.
It was already late at night when they arrived in Longyan, they found a hotel and opened two rooms to stay, rested for a while, and refueled the car.At this time, Lang Zhou's wound hadn't scabbed yet, and he couldn't lie down in pain.Du Ruo drove Dr. Zhong to another room, lived with Lang Zhou himself, and took good care of him until Lang Zhou fell asleep dimly.
In the dream, Lang Zhou found his father. His father was very kind and treated him very well. He said to him: "Son, you have finally grown up and will not be bullied by others. There was nothing I could do when I abandoned you. Because this is the only way I can Only then can I protect you and save your life. Lang Zhou, can you forgive Dad?"
"Forgive." Lang Zhou murmured, he hugged his father and cried happily, but suddenly his father became a stiff mummy in his dream, and said strangely: One day, when I can no longer What to do when thinking or speaking?Then he smiled, and suddenly fell apart and shattered into powder.
"Father—" Lang Zhou screamed, struggling to wake up.
"Lang Zhou, what's wrong with you?" Du Ruo's big eyes were bloodshot, and he asked with concern as he leaned beside him.
Lang Zhou shook his head, looking at her dully.Du Ruo smiled slightly: "Have you dreamed about your father again? Lang Zhou, I've been thinking about it just now, why not go to my house now. I'm too tormented by the doubts in my heart."
Lang Zhou nodded, propped up his waist with one hand, and stood up with difficulty.Du Ruo said, "Why don't you rest here, and Dr. Zhong and I will go."
Lang Zhou shook his head: "Our father is the same father."
Du Ruo stopped talking and held his hand tightly.
The two went to knock on Dr. Zhong's room, and Dr. Zhong came out in his pajamas and opened the door.The two talked to him, and Dr. Zhong was overjoyed: "I can't wait too." After speaking, he asked Du Ruo to go out, and he wanted to change his clothes.Du Ruo said that you can just put the suit on.Dr. Zhong had no choice but to put a suit on the jacket of pajamas and pajamas. Unexpectedly, he couldn't wear a tie in this way.Du Ruo acted resolutely, put the tie around his neck, and pulled him out.
Walking through the corridors and lobby of the hotel, Dr. Zhong's clothes made people look sideways. He was so embarrassed that he shrank his neck and followed behind.Du Ruo comforted him: "Maybe after tonight, you will become a world-class psychologist. What's the point of losing a little image? Your wretched appearance is the real embarrassment."
When Dr. Zhong heard this, he immediately became excited and his chest stood up.
Longyan City belongs to the west of Fujian Province, where there are beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the climate is mild. In the mild night wind, the three of them drove to Longchuan Road. It faces the Longjin River in the east, and the air is fresh.Du Ruo drove, took them around east and west, and entered a community.There are more than a dozen buildings in the whole community, and the gatekeeper is an old lady.The old lady stopped the car and asked in difficult Hakka: "Who are you looking for? You need to register."
Du Ruo lowered the car window and showed a smiling face.The old lady's eyes widened immediately: "Little Susu! You're back? You've been out for many years."
Du Ruo smiled and said, "Aunt Yu, you are still in such good health! I brought two friends to visit Guanzhai Mountain and Shimen Lake for a few days, so I will go home and have a look."
Aunt Yu smiled, opened the door and let them in.When the car drove more than ten meters away, Aunt Yu seemed to remember something and exclaimed, "Oh, you can't go into that house. There's—" But the Buick had gone far away.
The neighborhood at night is deep and dark, the old-fashioned street lamps are set high, sifting through the fine shadows of branches and leaves, swaying on the ground.The Buick parked in front of a row of post office boxes. The three got out of the car, led by Du Ruo, and walked into a dark building in front.There are voice-activated lights in the corridor, and the sound of chaotic footsteps startles the lights, which are dim and dark.They went up to the third floor. There were two households on the third floor, east and west. They stopped in front of the east gate.This is where Professor Huang once lived with Du Ruo.
Lang Zhou stretched out his hand tremblingly, and gently stroked the simple anti-theft door, as if the door had his childhood name on it.Du Ruo understood his mood, held his hand, then took out a key and inserted it into the keyhole.She has always kept the key of her old house as a kind of memory and carries it with her everywhere.
Du Ruo turned the key, but it wouldn't turn.She was stunned for a moment, and looked at her keys suspiciously. Yes, there were two keys, one for the security door and the other for the house door.But why can't it be opened?Dr. Zhong bent down to check it, and his expression became serious: "There is no dust around the keyhole, it is very clean, someone came here not long ago."
The two were taken aback, Du Ruo's expression changed: "Could it be Feng Zhiyang and the others?"
"Very likely. Feng Zhiyang's car is a Mercedes-Benz, which is much faster than ours. They have been here before. If they can tell that we are here, they may also take a plane." Dr. Zhong said.
Du Ruo pondered for a moment: "Since we're here, let's go in and take a look. They must have failed to enter the house, maybe they saw the thick dust around the keyhole and knew we weren't here, so they left!" She tried to insert the key again, but it didn't move. "It's probably been too long, and the lock is rusted. What should I do?"
"Pick the lock." Dr. Zhong suggested, "This lock is old-fashioned and not strong. I have tools in the trunk. Pick it."
"Pry." Lang Zhou blushed, staring at the anti-theft door closely, "I must go in and have a look."
The three of them did what they said, since it was Du Ruo's house anyway, and they didn't care if others misunderstood it.They brought in toolboxes, nut pullers, pliers, files, screwdrivers, etc., and tried them one by one.The noise they made was so loud that the people in Xihu were woken up. A middle-aged man opened the wooden door inside and asked outside through the security door, "What are you doing?"
Du Ruo knew him: "Uncle Zhou, I'm Su Er. I'm sorry to wake you up. I just came back and I can't open the door."
The middle-aged man looked at Du Ruo in amazement, a complex look flashed across his face, he nodded, and didn't speak any more.Du Ruo is very strange, this Uncle Zhou treated him very well when he was a child, why is he so cold now, with a hint of panic?But she didn't have time to pay attention to this, and Dr. Zhong worked hard and finally opened the door.
Once the anti-theft door was opened, she tried the door inside again, but it couldn't be opened either.But this wooden door was much easier to handle, and the lock was opened in two or three clicks.The three of them pushed the door open, and inside was a gloomy darkness, palpitatingly silent, filled with a stale atmosphere.As soon as they entered the door, Dr. Zhong suddenly screamed, and a pair of gloomy eyes appeared in front of him!
Lang Zhou and Du Ruo also saw those eyes, and just about to exclaim, a bright light shot towards Lang Zhou's chest in the dim light of the voice-activated light in the corridor outside the door.Lang Zhou leaned back in fright, his back pressed against the door, grinning his teeth in pain. "Boom!" A dagger was inserted into the wooden door, and the blade was shining coldly, pressing against his cheek.
At the same time, Dr. Zhong saw a thin figure rolling on the ground and disappearing.He panicked and shouted: "Turn on the light!" Du Ruo reached out to turn on the light on the wall according to memory, and suddenly there was a whistling in her ear, and her arm seemed to be hit by a wooden stick, causing her to scream in pain, hugging her arm straight I can't afford to lose my waist.Dr. Zhong was frightened and turned to run away, only to realize that Lang Zhou had bumped into the door just now and locked it again.In a hurry, Lang Zhou fumbled on the door, but couldn't find the handle.
Dr. Zhong screamed and fell to the ground with a thump, as if being dragged around by a wild animal.Resisting the pain in his arm, Du Ruo took out his mobile phone and handed it to Lang Zhou: "Use the light of the screen to open the door."
Lang Zhou held the phone in front of his eyes, and when he pressed the button, the screen of the phone lit up.Suddenly there was a thin voice in the darkness, and someone exclaimed: "Uncle!"
Then the lights came on.Lang Zhou and Du Ruo felt their eyes hurt and hurriedly covered them with their hands.There was no sound in the room except Dr. Zhong coughing and moaning on the ground.After they got used to the light, they opened their eyes and found a twelve or thirteen-year-old child standing behind the sofa in the living room.The child was black and thin, but full of vigor and wildness, like a little leopard.He was holding a rope in his hand, and one end of the rope was wrapped around Dr. Zhong's neck. Dr. Zhong was so strangled that his face was flushed and he coughed continuously.Du Ruo hurried to untie the rope.
The child just stared at Lang Zhou in surprise, and called again: "Uncle, is that you?"
Lang Zhou stared at him dumbfounded: "You...what did you call me?"
The child threw down the rope and jumped over the sofa, quickly ran up to Lang Zhou, raised his face and looked at him: "Uncle, you are Uncle Lang Zhou! Don't you know me? I am Xiaolu. You smashed the door just now, I thought I was a bad guy, so I'm sorry, Uncle Lang Zhou."
Lang Zhou rubbed his head and looked at him hesitantly: "Xiaolu? I... have we met?"
The child was a little sad, and his dark eyes were full of disappointment: "Uncle Lang, don't you remember Lu Lu? Look," he turned and pointed to a gouache painting on the wall, which showed a small deer eating leisurely. Cao, "You even painted me! I have always treasured this painting."
Lang Zhou didn't remember that he had been to Longyan, let alone knew a child named Xiaolu and even painted for him.He walked over suspiciously, trying to see the signature on it clearly, but he was shocked when he saw the wall: the wall was full of large photos of Du Ruo!This was originally Du Ruo's home, so it was not surprising. What made him angry was that Du Ruo's photo on the wall had been messed up.In the photos, some Du Ruo had their eyes gouged out, some had their noses gouged out, some had their limbs torn off, and some had daggers sticking out of their chests.It wasn't painted, but a real dagger was stuck in it!
"Du Ruo, come and see." Lang Zhou ignored the child and turned to call Du Ruo.At this time, Du Ruo had already untied the rope around Dr. Zhong's neck, and helped Dr. Zhong up.When the two heard Lang Zhou calling, they turned their heads together, and they were both stunned.
The child looked at Du Ruo suspiciously, his expression suddenly became terrifying, he turned to look at the painting on the wall, and roared viciously: "Mom, that stinky woman is here!"
After speaking, he pulled out the dagger from the painting and rushed towards Du Ruo viciously.Du Ruo screamed, and Lang Zhou hurriedly stood in front of her, reaching out to grab the dagger.
"Be careful!" Du Ruo exclaimed.
Lang Zhou caught nothing at this moment, and the dagger stabbed him in the chest.Lang Zhou was in a cold sweat, he had finished thinking, but he didn't expect to die here in a daze.Unexpectedly, the child - Xiao Lu stopped, staring at Lang Zhou in a daze: "Uncle, why don't you let me kill her?"
Lang Zhou opened his eyes and saw that the tip of the dagger was less than one centimeter away from his chest, and he broke out in a cold sweat.Just as he was about to speak, there was a coughing sound from the back room, and an old woman's voice said: "Xiao Lu, you are confused. You said that Uncle Lang is here, why are you becoming a stinky woman again? Treat Uncle Lang well."
Then he heard the sound of someone getting out of bed, Xiaolu withdrew his dagger, rushed into the back room, and after a while, helped an old woman out.The woman squinted her eyes, and the expression on her face suddenly became pleasantly surprised: "It's really Lang Zhou? You... You came to see us?"
"Mom, look at that stinky woman!" Xiaolu pointed at Du Ruo.
The woman may have poor eyesight, squinted her eyes and looked at Du Ruo carefully, her face immediately changed, anger, hatred, frightened, sad, all kinds of expressions flashed on that wrinkled face, which made people feel chilling.
The woman looked at Du Ruo indifferently for a long time, and suddenly spat out two words viciously: "Kill her! I already remember her appearance!"
The little deer responded, and rushed over with a dagger in his hand, extremely agile.Lang Zhou was startled, and hugged him hastily: "Why do you want to kill her?"
The child looked at Lang Zhou and then at his mother wonderingly, not knowing what to do.The woman also looked at Lang Zhou strangely and said, "Lang Zhou, what's wrong with you?"
Lang Zhou scratched his head, a little dazed: "I don't know what's wrong. This is the first time I've come here, and it's also the first time I've seen your son and you, but you seem to know me very well, and you're going to kill my friend Du Ruo doesn't seem to know that you live here, does he?"
Du Ruo nodded: "This is the first time I've seen them. And this is my home, why..."
The woman seemed more at a loss than Lang Zhou: "This is the first time you met us? Look at the picture you drew for Xiaolu. Besides, how could you not know why I killed this woman? She poisoned my husband to death." !"
"You...you are..." Dr. Zhong pointed at the woman and exclaimed, "Are you Lu Haisheng's wife?"
"Lu Haisheng?" Lang Zhou became even more confused, "Who is Lu Haisheng?"
Du Ruo was also taken aback: "He... Lu Haisheng is the playboy who seduced Su Er!"
Now Lang Zhou remembered that Du Ruo had told him that in Professor Huang's "Psychological Cloning Project", her target role was Su Er, the daughter of the president of Baheal Shipping.Knowing the truth about Lu Haisheng's deception, Su'er poisoned him with cyanide and hanged herself.Before committing suicide, he sent 500,000 yuan to Lu Haisheng's wife and children in the countryside.Later, Professor Huang judged that this was a trap designed by Feng Zhiyang with two lives to lure him to appear.
Unexpectedly, Lu Haisheng's wife and son would appear at Du Ruo's house.And they seem to have lived here for many years, and what's even more strange is that they seem to know Lang Zhou very well!
How strange.
Lang Zhou looked at the hateful eyes of the mother and son, and hurriedly stood in front of Du Ruo: "You...you have misunderstood. Lu Haisheng was not killed by her!"
Mrs. Lu shook her head indifferently: "We have been waiting here for so many years, and we finally got her. We will kill her tonight no matter what. Lang Zhou, get out of the way."
Just as Lang Zhou was about to speak, Dr. Zhong held his neck and said, "Wait, Mrs. Lu, how about we clarify the situation first? Why are you waiting for her here? Who told you to wait here?"
"It's Uncle Feng." Xiaolu hurriedly said.Then he told the story articulately.
It turned out that Lu Haisheng died three years ago, and the news reached his family. Mrs. Lu and her two sons were devastated.She was sick, and her two sons were still young. Lu Hai was usually idle and his family was not well off.Lu Haisheng later went to Guangzhou to work. Because of his handsome appearance, he was recruited and became a cowherd. He specially accompanied some lonely rich wives and rich girls who were frustrated in love.Later, Lu Haisheng simply started this business, cheating money from these ladies and ladies. By an unfortunate coincidence, Su Er met him and immediately fell in love.This is Su Er's first love.
Mrs. Lu also heard about these things that Lu Haisheng did from her fellow villagers back home, but she had no choice but to support the family if her husband didn't do this.The two children are too young, and she has no ability to work. Although she is ridiculed and scolded in the village, she can only bear it silently.But she warned Lu Haisheng, don't do anything harmful to nature, otherwise she will never come back.
Lu Haisheng agreed. At that time, he thought that Su Er was looking for comfort in loneliness just like other rich ladies. Unexpectedly, after the two shared the same bed for the first time, they found that Su Er was a virgin. Now Lu Haisheng was dumbfounded. I know things are getting worse.However, Su Er is a girl who is extremely persistent in her relationship, and happily told her father about her relationship.
Her father Su Fengyang investigated the future son-in-law and easily exposed Lu Haisheng's background. Su Fengyang was furious and ordered Su'er to break up with him immediately.Su Er didn't speak at that time, no one knew what she was thinking or what she did after that, they only knew that after their last date, Lu Haisheng died of poisoning, Su Er disappeared, and then they were in the woods in the park Her body was found.
Mrs. Lu first received the remittance from Su Er, and then she learned of her husband's death.On the postscript column of Su Er's remittance slip, there were only three words: I'm sorry.She didn't understand the reason at the time. She was shocked by the astonishing sum of 500,000 yuan, and thought it was sent by her husband, but the name of the remitter was wrong.She began to worry about her husband, and then the villagers told her that her husband was dead and killed by a girl.At that time she fainted to the ground.My first thought after waking up was: So this half a million bought my husband's life!She wanted to see her husband for the last time, but the heavy blow made her fall ill. Then her husband's body was directly cremated in Guangzhou, and the ashes were sent back.
She finally broke down, and called her two sons to her, and told them to go to Guangzhou, and they must remember the appearance of the enemy.
Dr. Zhong asked, "You have two sons? What about the other one?"
The little deer said indifferently: "Dead. After my mother fell ill, it rained heavily that night. My brother went to the town to buy medicine for my mother. Halfway through a hillside, it was raining and the road was slippery. My brother fell into a ravine. He didn't die at that time." , his leg was broken, he couldn't climb up, he was frozen in the rain all night, and when he was found the next day, he was already hard."
Mrs. Lu sobbed softly.The three of them looked at each other with a heavy heart, and they didn't know how to resolve the deep enmity between the two lives.
After Xiaolu buried his brother, he planned to go to Guangzhou alone. At this time, a man came from the village and said that his name was Feng Zhiyang, and he knew the truth of the whole thing.Feng Zhiyang took Mrs. Lu to the city to heal her illness, and told them: The girl who killed Lu Haisheng was named Su Er, and another name was Du Ruo.It was rumored that she committed suicide after poisoning Lu Haisheng to death, but she did not die. The Su family spent a huge amount of money to conceal the truth and let her go unpunished.
Mrs. Lu gritted her teeth in hatred.Feng Zhiyang took her and Xiaolu to Longyan and let them live in Du Ruo's house.It is said that Du Ruo lived in seclusion here after killing someone, and now that she has gone to another place, no one can find her, but she will definitely come back.You can have your revenge as soon as she returns.Feng Zhiyang was afraid that the mother and son would not know Du Ruo, so he gave them a stack of Du Ruo's photos.Xiao Lu posted the photos on the wall, and when he missed his father, he tortured these photos severely, and his little heart became more and more surly.Mrs. Lu has a deposit of 500,000 yuan, so she doesn't have to worry about life, so the two live here.
Most people in western Fujian speak Hakka, but Mrs. Lu and the others can't understand it, and they don't want to communicate with their neighbors.This community is managed by the property, and the neighbors don't like a surly little leopard-like figure living here, and reported to the property that they seized the houses and asked them to be kicked out.Aunt Yu came many times, but Xiao Lu just ignored them. Whoever dared to speak ill of them or drive them away, Xiao Lu would stand guard at the intersection when the women and children of their family came home, sharpening a dagger in his hand, He looked at them with cold eyes, and even peeled a poisonous snake with thick arms in the community with his own hands.As a result, everyone in the community was terrified, and someone called the police, but Feng Zhiyang was determined to let them take root here and use his supernatural means. I didn't dare to say anything more, because I knew that Professor Huang's house was occupied by a little lunatic.
Xiao Lu looked at Lang Zhou and said, "Uncle Lang, don't you really remember us? Two years ago, you came here with a picture folder on your back and said you wanted to find your father. At that time, my mother was seriously ill. We didn’t move her, and no one in the community helped us. You carried her to the hospital and saved her life. Then my mother invited you to live here, and you taught me how to draw and read, and even gave back I found a school in the suburbs and let me go to school." Fawn's eyes were full of tears, "Uncle Lang, at that time, it was the happiest time in my life. No one loved me so much, including my father. Uncle Lang, Did you know? Last month, I participated in a painting competition in the district and won the first prize, a big trophy. My mother cried all day long with the big trophy in her arms, thinking of you all the time, and said, "Your Uncle Lang promised that we will meet again." He came back, but why did he leave us alone?"
Mrs. Lu burst into tears.小鹿抹了抹泪，说：“我告诉妈妈，郎叔叔要找父亲，他找到父亲就会回来了。”他跑回自己房间里抱出个大奖杯和一封信，“郎叔叔，你看看我的奖杯。”
郎周接过来看了看，奖杯的底座上写着“龙岩市新罗区青少年组绘画一等奖”，可是奖杯的上面却画着个男子，依稀就是自己的模样，用手托着奖杯，脸上洋溢着开心的笑容。笔法比较稚嫩，看来是小鹿画的。郎周茫然了：我什么时候来过龙岩呢？看来是真的来过，墙上那幅画的签名也是我的笔迹，不会是冯之阳的阴谋。可是我为什么没有丝毫印象呢？
小鹿又递给他一封开了封口的信：“郎叔叔，当时你问黄教授有没有留下什么东西，咱们在屋里找了几个月都没有发现什么，后来我灵机一动，撬开了外面的邮政信箱，在里面找到了这封信。当时你兴奋得抱着我跑了出去请我吃了麦当劳。那是我第一次吃麦当劳。”
郎周心里跳动得厉害，难道这封信里真的有父亲的下落？可是这么重要的线索他怎么全给忘了呢？钟博士比他更急，抓过信就看，信封除了一行外文，还有一行中文，写着杜若家的地址，这种外文不是英文，钟博士不认得。信早被裁开了，他抽出信纸，只有薄薄的一页，页眉印着几行外文，这个留过学的博士同样不认识。
可是信里写的几句话是中文，手写体，字写得歪歪斜斜，仿佛是在仓促间写成的。钟博士读了出来：
“克利斯朵夫生出了耶稣基督，
耶稣基督又生出了整个世界，
那么克利斯朵夫当时何处立足？ "
钟博士读完后茫然不解，看了看杜若和郎周。杜若拿过信只看了一眼，立刻惊恐地捂住了嘴。郎周关切地问：“杜若，你怎么了？”
杜若惊恐地盯着他，结结巴巴地说：“这……这是爸爸的笔迹……”
郎周哗地一下夺了过来，脸上的表情剧烈地扭曲，嘴唇颤抖着，却说不出话来。眼睛瞪着信，眼泪哗哗地流淌，半晌才说：“我有了一点点印象，我好像真的曾经见过这封信。只记得我痛哭着，把这封信一扔，从一个房间里跑了出去。”
屋子里陷入了死亡般的沉默。钟博士说：“郎周，看来你真的来过这里了。只是出于某种原因，这一段经历在你大脑中被抹掉了。就是说失忆了。你是否摔伤过头部，或者出过车祸？”
Lang Zhou shook his head.小鹿说：“郎叔叔，你看完这封信后，就走了，是飞跑出去的，说要去找你的父亲。我们舍不得你走，可是我妈妈说，这是郎周叔叔的心愿，就像我，如果爸爸还活着，我也一定要去找他的。妈妈说，如果找到你父亲，你就和他一起回来，这里就是你的家。你答应了。”
郎周狠狠地捶着头：“为什么，为什么我想不起来了呢？为什么？我找到他了吗？我接着又去了哪里？不不，我没有失忆，我接着去了北京，住在通州画家村。我记得清清楚楚。这到底是怎么回事？”面部因痛苦而扭曲，额头大汗淋漓。
“郎周！”杜若心疼地抱住他，“不要想了，想不起来就不要想了，人有很多情况下都会忘记一些事情的。钟博士，你说对不对啊？”
“对，对。”钟博士急忙说，“郎周，人的大脑如果是物理性损伤，损坏了记忆中枢，或者受到外部震荡，都会有失忆的现象。还有，如果服用错了一些药物，也可能引起一定程度上的失忆，甚至一些心理原因也会引起失忆。”
“不！”郎周怒吼一声，仿佛变了个人，脖筋膨胀，眼睛通红，大吼着说，“这段记忆我不能失去！我不能忘！眼看……眼看我父亲就要找到了，可是我却……我却忘了！我受不了！”
“郎叔叔，”小鹿说，“无论你忘记了什么都不要紧，你都不要灰心，这里就是你的家，我会永远陪着你的。我杀了这个女人后，就陪你去医院，治好你，每天陪你去登高山画画。你会快乐起来的。”
郎周顿时停止了捶头，吃惊地望着小鹿：“你要杀了她？可是，可是她不是杀死你爸爸的凶手。”
“郎叔叔，”小鹿怒不可遏，“我不会认错的，我看着她的照片整整看了三年，哪怕她化成了灰我都认得！”
郎周也不知道该如何是好：“我不是说你认错了，而是杀死你爸爸的凶手根本不是她。”
“不可能。冯叔叔说过，让我们在这里守着，她一定会回来的。她还有两个名字，一个叫苏儿，一个叫杜若，刚才我听这个穿睡衣打领带的家伙叫她，就叫杜若。”
钟博士看了看自己的衣着，不由苦笑。郎周也苦笑，这个误会怎么才能解开呢？他问：“小鹿，你相信我还是相信冯之阳？”
“当然相信你。”小鹿毫不犹豫地说，“我妈妈也一样。”
陆太太认真地点了点头，说：“小鹿你不要打岔，让郎叔叔把事情讲清楚。”
郎周犹豫地看了看杜若，杜若慢慢点了点头：“讲清楚吧，这家人太可怜了，不能再让冯之阳愚弄利用他们了。”
郎周点点头，拉着小鹿坐下，陆太太也坐在沙发上，几个人围着茶几，在即将黎明的空气里，倾听郎周叙述那场骇人听闻的往事：“我爸爸其实不是我亲生父亲，我只是他领养的一个孤儿。我爸爸姓黄，叫黄瀚生，是上海一所大学的教授……”
太阳仿佛跳球般一忽儿就蹿到了半空，热辣辣的阳光照射进三楼的窗户。他们才发现郎周居然讲了四个多小时。
“冯之阳三个人为了引出我们的父亲，就这样炮制了这场惨案，牺牲了苏儿和陆海生的性命。结果我父亲还是逃跑了，逃到哪里我们都不知道，直到现在还在寻找他。”郎周慢慢结束了讲述，不知不觉泪水已经淌了满脸。
陆太太和小鹿张大了嘴，很久都没合拢，但望着杜若的脸色却渐渐地柔和了。郎周讲完，房间里冰冻般沉默。好久，陆太太说：“那么说，真正杀死海生的是冯之阳？”
郎周摇摇头：“我也不敢确定，这是我爸爸——黄教授判断的，但真相到底怎么样，恐怕还得冯之阳才能说清楚。但是，这个事情真的跟杜若一点关系也没有，她只是那个可怜女孩儿的替身。你们不要难为她了。”
陆太太沉默了下来，眼睛木木地望着窗外，嘴角的线条不停抖动。屋子里也沉默了下来，郎周等人紧张地望着她，仿佛在等候一场裁决。
“郎周。”陆太太仍旧望着窗外，静静地说，“我信任你，胜过相信我自己。自从两年前你来到这里，让小鹿上学，教他画画，背我去看病，我就知道，你是一个完全值得信赖的人。可能你认为你做的没什么，但是对我们，却太重要了，那是这么多年里唯一有过快乐的时候……”她抹了一把眼泪，大声说，“郎周，我听你的，即使她真的杀了海生，我……我也原谅她！我原谅她！她是你女朋友吧？只要你幸福，我什么都原谅她！”说完扑在沙发上呜呜地哭了起来。
郎周和杜若对视了一眼，都不知所措。小鹿慢慢地走过去：“妈。”蹲在地上抱着母亲痛哭。
陆太太抚摸着小鹿的头：“孩子，以后把这场仇恨放下吧，不要让它把你的心给扭曲了。明白吗？仇恨很大，但是比仇恨更大的，是法律。妈妈不想让你成为一个杀人凶手。而且，这些年我也想清楚了，你那不争气的爸爸也是死有余辜，无论是谁杀了他，但那个好好的女孩儿，是彻底被他毁了。他真的是对不起人家，赔人家一条命，也是应该的。何况，咱们这些年吃的，穿的，用的，你上学的学费，都是那个可怜的女孩儿给的钱。孩子，不要再恨了，这个世界的好人比坏人多，而你爸爸就是个坏人。去，对着她的照片，说声对不起。”
小鹿低着头站起来，讷讷地问：“郎周叔叔，你和我妈妈的想法一样吗？”
郎周点点头：“你妈妈说得非常好。她是个好妈妈。”
小鹿哭了起来：“郎周叔叔，我听你的。不再为爸爸报仇了。”说完跪在墙壁前对着苏儿的照片嘭嘭嘭磕了几个响头，但是这种感情转换实在太剧烈，小鹿张张嘴，却不知道该说些什么。他痛哭了起来，然后又跪在杜若跟前磕了几个头：“杜若阿姨，刚才我用棍子打你，还骂你臭女人，对不起。”
杜若将他抱在怀里，陪着他哭了起来。陆太太盯着杜若，慢慢叹了口气，心结慢慢地解开，心情也渐渐好了起来，加上见到了郎周，浑身充满了活力，走路也似乎轻盈了许多。
龙岩冬无严寒，夏无酷暑，气候宜人。11月末，阳光仍然暖洋洋地照着，比起北方天寒地冻的景象，让人心情舒爽。吃过午饭，小鹿和陆太太带着他们到登高山公园去散步。钟博士和杜若都知道，陆太太的意思是想让郎周看一看他曾经画过的风景，借以唤醒他遗忘的记忆，他们心照不宣，相携来到登高山。
登高山位于市中心，是座三百多米高的小山，整个公园就建在山上，贯穿全市的龙津河在山脚下分岔，蜿蜒而下。顺着龙川路向南行，然后穿过龙津河，就到了山脚下。幽谧深邃的宁静仿佛一座无形的房间，一下子就将他们锁在了其中。
山脚面临着潺河水的地方，是个空坪，旁边有个小亭。此时正值午饭时间，游人稀少，小鹿跑到河岸，靠着石雕的栏杆大声喊：“郎叔叔，你以前就经常在这里教我画画，记得吗？”
他这样一说，陆太太和杜若的表情立刻就紧张起来了，果然，郎周开始茫然起来，走到栏杆旁，面对龙津河，迟疑地摇摇头。钟博士笑了笑：“郎周啊，首先你不要紧张，我跟你讲，失忆是很正常的，例如脑部外伤，老年人经常患的脑部器质性疾病，服用阻抗神经的药物，甚至曾经有个孩子因为鼻窦炎竟然引起了失忆。仅仅单纯心理原因引起失忆的就有好几种。我给你讲个故事吧。”
郎周漠然地点点头。钟博士说：“有一位麦小姐，她身世很可怜，她母亲行为不端，父母离了婚，她跟母亲住在一起。可是母亲离婚后仍然勾搭姘夫，麦小姐甚至好几次还受到了母亲姘夫的性骚扰。后来麦小姐爱上了一位船员，并且怀了身孕，可是就在婚礼前，那船员却失踪了，从此就一去不回。麦小姐将孩子生了下来，带着孩子跟父亲和弟弟一起住。可是父亲待她并不好，一天到晚地骂她，在这种地狱般的日子里，她慢慢开始头痛、失眠、焦虑，就在这时候，她爱上了一个男孩，那个男孩让她感到一种前所未有的温暖。
“可是有一天，她搭公共汽车去看医生……然后她出现在一个小镇。中间有七个小时，她的记忆出现了空白。她不知道自己在哪里，不知道自己曾经做过什么，从中午12点到晚上7点，这七个小时的时间在她脑中一片空白，没有一点印象。”
“那她后来呢？”杜若问。
“后来，她去警察局求助。警察带她去看心理医生，心理医生经过仔细的询问，居然发现她最后到达的小镇，就是她男友工作的地点。”钟博士说。
杜若紧张起来，她脑中呈现一种血淋淋的惨状：“难道，在这个小镇里……在她和她男友之间，曾经发生了很可怕的事情？”
钟博士笑了笑：“大家都会这样想的，认为只有极度痛苦的经历和刺激才会让一个人失去记忆，不愿去回想它。可事实并非如此，心理医生后来用催眠术对她进行治疗，将她催眠后，终于知道了那七个小时的空白中发生的事情。那天，她搭上公共汽车去看医生，因为她的生活实在太悲惨，她产生了一种可怕的幻想，想杀死她父亲、杀死她弟弟、杀死她儿子！她被这种恐怖的念头折磨着，便去看医生。可是当她到了医生家里，医生却没在家，她打电话给他，也没人接。于是她就去找她的男友，她希望她的男友能够帮她。她感到一瞬之间，在这个世界上没有一个人帮她了，母亲不关心她，父亲责骂她，要好的女友也避而不见，医生又不接她电话，她感到那一瞬间自己在这个世界上变得孤苦无依，她把所有的希望都寄托在了男友身上。”
“那她男友是不是也抛弃了她？”杜若问。
钟博士摇摇头：“那不是抛弃，可是一个人总有某一个瞬间连一点点的小挫折都无法承受。麦小姐搭车到了男友工作的小镇，她看到男友的车子停在停车场，男友正从停车场的另一个入口走向他的车子。麦小姐这一刻对她男友充满了期待，她以为男友一定会看见她，带她去找医生，同情她，安慰她，处理她的一切难题，让她平静而充满幸福。可是男友没有看见她，开着车就走了，她拼命地追赶，直到她累得喘不过气来，男友的汽车消失在她的视线里。正在她伤心绝望的时候，一辆冲过来的汽车差点撞倒她，她觉得头晕目眩，仿佛要死了一样，她急忙走进警察局求助……于是从上公共汽车看医生到去警察局求助之间，这七个小时的记忆完全成了空白。”
小鹿撇着嘴：“没什么大不了的呀！我遇到的困难比这多多了。”
钟博士看了看他，又望了望郎周说：“是啊。你很坚忍，但是我说过，一个人总有某一个瞬间连一点点的小挫折都无法承受。不是因为他不够坚忍，而是痛苦实在太多，一点点地积压起来，总会在某个时刻让他无法承受。这位麦小姐所患的失忆症，在心理学上叫做'心因性记忆丧失'，就是说由心理原因引起，使人的意识的正常功能发生突然的、暂时性的改变，以至这些功能的某部分丧失。其实人的心理有种保护的功能，如果说某种痛苦、某种不堪回首的经历总是让人感到痛苦，无法正常地生活，潜意识就会产生一种'潜抑'作用，将这些痛苦的经历统统封闭在内心的最深处，让你平时回忆不起来，让你'忘掉'它，从而快快乐乐地生活下去。刚才我所说的麦小姐，她那天充满了杀死父亲、弟弟、儿子的恐怖幻觉，她急需别人的帮助，可是四处碰壁，当她将最后的希望寄托到男友身上时，男友当着她的面离她而去，这下子带来了致命的一击。当时的孤独、无助和绝望超出了她的负荷，于是'潜抑'就发生了作用，将这些经历扫出了意识层面，不让她去回想这些不愉快的经历。”
四个人听得呆住了，没想到心理居然这么奇妙。郎周一副若有所思的样子，不知道在想些什么。钟博士说：“郎周，你不用为这个烦恼，你的生活太苦了，忘掉它你才能好好地生活。或许你根本没有找到父亲，你绝望了，彷徨了，不知道生活中还有什么是值得追求的，人生失去了目标，于是你不由自主地忘记了让你感到绝望的经历，重新开始去寻找你父亲。”
“那么……就是说，”郎周沉吟着说，“到了龙岩后我走到了绝境，对寻找父亲感到绝望，于是我忘了这个绝境，重新又开始寻找一遍？”
“我的判断是这样的。”钟博士说，“因为这封信——你所谓的线索根本就是一个谜语，不可解的。我不大相信你能破解这个谜语，更进一步。”
郎周拿过那封信，将信纸摊在凉亭的石桌上，皱眉望着它，细细思索。几个人围坐在一起研究这封信。信应该是从外国寄来的，信封上的语言是英文，但拼写出的单词却不是英文。这种文字和汉语一上一下地写，写的是邮寄的地址，就是杜若家的信箱。信封左上角还有个秤形的标志，好像是欧洲某个机构或古老家族常用的族徽之类。
钟博士叹了口气：“回头我把这个标志扫描下来发给亚利桑那州立大学的朋友，大学里有专门研究世界各个家族、王国族徽的专家，他们应该能帮我查出来。这不是关键，关键是最令人费解的这几行字。”
最后是个疑问句，仿佛是个谜语。但克利斯朵夫是什么？他怎么会生出耶稣基督呢？生出耶稣的是圣母玛利亚啊！《圣经》上写得明明白白的。不过令他们心动的是最后一句，“克利斯朵夫当时何处立足？”仿佛是说，克利斯朵夫的下落，就是黄瀚生的下落。
除了小鹿母子，三个人一想到这个可能性，激动得浑身颤抖，六只眼睛盯着这张纸目不转睛。
“克利斯朵夫是什么？”钟博士问，“好像是个人名。”
杜若和郎周对视一眼，摇摇头。小鹿喃喃地念：“克利斯朵夫……克利斯朵夫……我听着怎么这么耳熟？”
钟博士眼睛瞪圆了：“你知道？快想想！”
小鹿说：“好像我们哪一次考试时有过一道题，是填空，说克利斯朵夫的作者是谁。不过那个空我不会填。”
杜若咯咯笑了起来：“我想起来了，是一部小说，《约翰·克利斯朵夫》，法国作家罗曼·罗兰的代表作品。爸爸以前让我读过，说可以使我正视生活中的苦难。可是我不太爱看小说，它太厚了，就没看完。胡乱蒙混了过去。”
“啊哈。”钟博士叫了起来，“咱们赶紧去找这本书！”
郎周摇摇头：“让小鹿到书店去买，咱们继续研究。”他给了小鹿一百块钱，让小鹿快去快回。小鹿飞奔着去了。然后三个人开始皱眉苦思。郎周问：“除了那个约翰·克利斯朵夫，还有别的克利斯朵夫吗？”
杜若摇摇头：“没听说过。我觉得咱们应该去找个通晓这方面知识的人问问。”
“嗯。”钟博士同意，又问，“找个通晓哪方面知识的人？”
杜若怔住了。是啊，去找通晓哪方面知识的人？这个克利斯朵夫看来是个欧洲的姓氏，姓克利斯朵夫的人即使没有中国的赵钱孙李一样多，也是不计其数的。从哪方面着手去问？文学的，心理学的，历史学的，还是宗教学的？通晓这所有学问的，恐怕……恐怕比能猜出这个谜语的人还少。
他们愁眉不展的时候，小鹿抱着一摞书来了，正是罗曼·罗兰的《约翰·克利斯朵夫》，厚厚的四卷本，大翻译家傅雷先生的译作。他们翻看了一下前言，原来这本小说是罗曼·罗兰根据伟大音乐家贝多芬的生平虚构的小说。
郎周看了傅雷的前言中的一段文字，内心猛然一震。
真正的光明决不是永没有黑暗的时间，只是永不被黑暗所掩蔽罢了。真正的英雄决不是永没有卑下的情操，只是永不被卑下的情操所屈服罢了。
所以在你要战胜外来的敌人之前，先得战胜你内在的敌人；你不必害怕沉沦堕落，只消你能不断的自拔与更新。
这段文字让他热泪盈眶，内心有一个堡垒仿佛被飞速而来的导弹击中，摇摇欲坠，几乎要四分五裂。可是下一句让他又清醒了过来，让他醒悟过来他看这篇小说是为了什么目的。
《约翰·克利斯朵夫》不是一部小说，——应当说：不止是一部小说，而是人类一部伟大的史诗。它所描绘歌咏的不是人类在物质方面，而是在精神方面所经历的艰险，不是征服外界而是征服内界的战迹。
郎周感到，这句话好像在告诉他什么，可是他捉摸不定这种飘忽的感觉。傅雷在译者献词里说：战士啊，当你知道世界上受苦的不止你一个时，你定会减少痛楚。郎周莫名其妙地想起了冯之阳、马骏和刘汉阴。从某种程度上来说，他们的本质都是一样的，都是一种摧毁人性的教育方式的牺牲品，在寻找自己这种悲剧命运的根源。
郎周拿了第一册，杜若和钟博士以及小鹿就拿了其他几册翻阅着，他们不知道该查什么，胡乱把四卷本的大作翻看了一通，也没有找出什么有用的信息，起码没有查到克利斯朵夫跟耶稣基督有什么联系。
几个人怏怏地合上了书，面面相觑。后来钟博士提议：“不如咱们回家，我车上有个笔记本电脑，看看我国外的朋友谁在线，可以询问他们。他们是基督教国家，对宗教比咱们要了解多了。”
其他人自然没有意见，但他们不愿离开登高山回家，而是建议钟博士回家取出笔记本电脑，再回到登高山。钟博士气急败坏，面红耳赤地争执了一番。杜若说：“你要知道，现在冯之阳他们正在追踪咱们，冯之阳知道我家在哪，讨论这么重要的事情能在家里吗？”
钟博士一想，事实确实如此，只好闷闷不乐地回了小区。笔记本电脑在车上，他也不回屋里，开着车就出了小区。
他刚离开，三楼，杜若家的窗帘哗地拉开了，三张面孔出现在窗帘后，正是冯之阳、马骏和刘汉阴。刘汉阴喃喃地说：“我说怎么没人在家，原来他们怕咱们来，在外面又找了个地方。”
钟博士开车回到登高山，把车停在公园外的停车场，取出笔记本电脑回到河边的凉亭里，四个人正在眼巴巴望着。见他回来，杜若一把抢过电脑，钟博士又急忙抢了回来，启动Skype网络语音聊天工具。
原来钟博士在Skype上的昵称叫兔兔，杜若扑哧笑了起来。钟博士老脸一红，装作没听见，看了看在线的联系人，说：“有个亚利桑那州立大学时代的同学，是奥地利人，现在在线。啊——”
钟博士突然惨叫起来。郎周等人吓得脸色煞白，杜若狠狠抽了他一巴掌：“你鬼叫什么？”
钟博士拿过那个信封，仔细瞅了瞅，结结巴巴地说：“我想起来了，这……这信封上的文字是德文！德语在欧洲很多国家都有使用，包括德国、奥地利、瑞士，以及比利时、法国、卢森堡三国与德国接壤的地区。一想起这个奥地利同学，我突然想起来了。我这个同学叫沃尔夫·迪特里希，是奥地利萨尔斯堡人，萨尔斯堡在奥地利西部边境，和德国接壤。你们一定听说过萨尔斯堡。”
可郎周和杜若同时摇了摇
