Chapter 15 Chapter Fifteen

No one spoke, and the cave returned to dead silence for a while. Suddenly a corpse moved, and the soldiers who were already frightened screamed: "Who?" "Don't panic, it's me." The man stretched and stood up.Wei Fengyu was surprised and delighted: "Wei Tianlei? Why are you here?" "I am here to take care of the wounded." Wei Tianlei sighed, "Unfortunately, there is no medicine, and none of them can be saved." The instructor looked him up and down suspiciously: "Nothing strange happened in this cave, right?" "Strange thing?" Wei Tianlei thought about it seriously, "There is nothing strange, have you encountered something strange?"

The instructor fake coughed twice, and said to the surviving soldiers: "I will truthfully report what happened last night to my superiors, and no one is allowed to speak out until the superiors make a decision." Wei Tianlei patted Wei Fengyu on the shoulder, leaned into his ear and said, "That piece of broken iron is a part of the firearms of the Ming Dynasty. Keep it well and keep it in mind." Wei Fengyu was shocked, how did he know that he picked up a piece of broken iron? On the way back to the headquarters, Wei Tianlei disappeared, and the instructor did not ask anyone to find him again. After the war ended, Wei Fengyu was demobilized and returned home. He went to the university mentioned in Wei Tianlei's certificate, and there was no such professor there. .

Wei Fengyu has never seen Wei Tianlei again in his life, and he has found his residence, but Wei Tianlei seems to be avoiding him.In the long years, he has taken out that piece of broken iron countless times to recall the war. He has been guessing Wei Tianlei's identity and those strange soldiers. It was a long-standing nightmare. Sometimes he thought, maybe , All his life, he never woke up. After the story was told, Concubine Wei Yan let out a long sigh of relief: "I've heard this story a lot since I was a child, and I've told it to others. No one has ever really believed my words. Today is finally a consummation of merit. The things have been delivered, Please keep it safe and say goodbye."

Bai Xiaozhou sent her out, went back to the living room, looked carefully at the box, there seemed to be water on it, sticky and greasy, she raised her hand and saw it was blood. She took a sharp breath and immediately called Sima Fanti.He said on the other end of the microphone: "Is Wei Yanfei right? She had a car accident the day before and she is already dead." Long, long ago, there was a boy who always liked to walk through the bamboo forest with a white lantern. All the monsters in the mountains liked him. His hair was blown by the breeze, and his eyes were deep and bright, as beautiful as stars.

But he hasn't been here for years, many, many years. He may have died. The sharp scalpel cut through the white skin, and cut a huge Y-shape on the corpse's torso. The flesh was flipped open, revealing the fresh internal organs inside. "Very good, student Bai Xiaozhou has done a good job." The teacher nodded with satisfaction, "Who will continue next?" A dozen or so students stood around, looking at me and I at you, but they didn't intend to do anything.The teacher looked around at everyone: "What's the matter? I've always clamored for an autopsy, but now I don't dare? Look at Xiaozhou, it's the first time for him to operate, why isn't he afraid?"

"Of course she is not afraid, she is a famous freak." Someone whispered.A person next to him gently tugged at his sleeve, and he knew he had slipped his words, so he turned his face away in embarrassment. Bai Xiaozhou didn't take it seriously, and completed all the procedures of the dissection under the guidance of the teacher.After class, she went to the toilet to wash her hands, and a female classmate patted her on the shoulder: "Zheng Weibo never speaks through his brain, so don't take it to heart." "It's okay." Bai Xiaozhou turned to look at her, and suddenly saw a cloud of black smoke floating behind her, with a faint milky smell, and when he listened carefully, he could hear the slight cry of a baby.

She stared at the back of the female classmate with wide eyes. The female classmate was so frightened that her hairs stood on end. She turned her head to look: "What's wrong?" "It's nothing." Bai Xiaozhou quickly turned his face away and continued to wash his hands, "Thank you, I didn't take it seriously." "Then, that's good." The female student suddenly felt the temperature drop a few degrees, and said in a cold sweat, "I still have something to do, goodbye." No wonder she was seen as a freak by others.Bai Xiaozhou supported his forehead, it was a tragedy to be able to see things he shouldn't have seen.

"What?" Long Chuxia crossed Erlang's legs, raised her eyelids to look at her while drinking beer, "You want me to seal your yin and yang eyes for you?" "That's right." Bai Xiaozhou said seriously, "This special function of Laoshizi has already had an extremely negative impact on my life, and I request that it be banned immediately." "What do you do when you're investigating the case?" "Just untie it again." Bai Xiaozhou grabbed her hand and said earnestly, "Mr. Long, please." Long Chuxia felt a headache: "Okay, I'll teach you how to control your yin and yang eyes. Before that, I'll seal your eyes." She suddenly shot and covered her eyes, and the severe pain spread Come on, it's like someone inserted a finger into the eye socket and pulled out her eyeball.She screamed in pain, pushed away Long Chuxia's hand, backed away in a hurry, became unsteady, fell to the ground, her buttocks almost broke into eight petals.

"Mr. Long, I'm asking you to help me seal my yin and yang eyes, not to make me blind." "Who made you blind? Open your eyes and see." Bai Xiaozhou opened his eyes, the black mist that always floated in the corners before disappeared, and his eyes were clear.She couldn't help but: "I really can't see it!" "Don't be too happy, starting today, go to the crematorium every day after class, I will give you special training." "No problem." Bai Xiaozhou was in a sunny mood. At that time, she hadn't thought that after a few days, she would suffer the consequences.

"Want to hear gossip?" Zhu Yikai opened the door and came in with a smile on his face. Bai Xiaozhou glanced at him: "It can't be about Si Qi, right?" "Exactly." Bai Xiaozhou narrowed his eyes: "Kaizi, your concern for him seems to surpass the friendship of revolutionary comrades." Zhu Yikai smiled meaningfully: "Don't worry, I'm straight and I don't have that kind of interest in men." Bai Xiaozhou rolled his eyes: "Whether you're right or wrong is none of my business." "Please, don't show your affection in front of me, a single person." Long Chuxia looked unhappy, "What gossip does Si Qi have? Are you lucky?"

"It's even more unbelievable than that." Zhu Yikai said, "He went to lunch with his dad." "He forgave his father?" "Who knows, I didn't follow along to eavesdrop." Zhu Yikai shrugged. "Father and son after all, there is no overnight feud." The look in Bai Xiaozhou's eyes dimmed, and he stared blankly at his fingers.Knowing that he touched her heart, Zhu Yikai comforted her softly: "Don't worry, Uncle Bai will definitely be found." "By the way, Xiao Zhou, my friend from the United States contacted me this morning and said they found some clues about your father." Bai Xiaozhou was startled: "What clue?" "He said he couldn't confirm the authenticity of the clues, and he would contact me in a few days." After a pause, Long Chuxia looked up at her, and said seriously, "You go to class first, and I will notify you as soon as there is news." Bai Xiaozhou went happily, Zhu Yikai looked at his teacher and asked, "Is there something hidden?" "Your boy is already an adult." Long Chuxia rolled his eyes at him, "My friend said that Xiaozhou's father, Bai Xiujin, was related to a bizarre serial murder." She waved at the boy, beckoning him to come over, "One of the deceased was an important person." "So, Uncle Bai is in trouble?" "The situation he is encountering now cannot be described as troublesome." Long Chuxia sighed, "The only thing we can do now is wait." "Teacher, what if your friend hasn't contacted you?" Long Chuxia was stunned, his face turned cold, and he was silent for a while: "If you really get to that point, you should take Xiaozhou away immediately, and hide as far away as possible." Bai Xiaozhou couldn't restrain the excitement in her heart. After waiting for so long, finally there was news about her father. She was somewhat looking forward to it but also a little confused. Where did father go during this time?Is he in trouble? Are all these troubles solved now? "Excuse me, are you Bai Xiaozhou?" Bai Xiaozhou turned around in surprise, and saw a chubby face.It was a middle-aged woman, wearing a black chiffon skirt, with a circle of flesh around her waist, her sleeves were nearly torn by her thick arms, and her eyes were squeezed by the flesh on her face. There is a slit, and he smiles kindly. "May I ask who you are?" "My name is Wei Yiwen, and it should be your niece." Bai Xiaozhou thought he heard it wrong: "What did you say?" "Are you Wei Tianlei's granddaughter?" The middle-aged woman said, "He is my great-grandfather's cousin." Long Chuxia was hiding in a corner of the school smoking. This place was deserted and the trees were lush. It was always a good place for a tryst.Naturally, no one would come to fall in love in broad daylight, and it became the exclusive smoking room for her, a heavy smoker. Just after smoking his second cigarette, the phone in his pocket rang. "Hey, Xiaozhou, have you arrived at the crematorium? Wait for me for half an hour, and I'll come right away... What? You're on your way to Ueno County? What are you doing in Ueno County? What? Are you going to meet relatives? Do you have relatives? Wei Relatives over there, sir? Hello?" The phone signal was cut off, and Long Chuxia called again, and the cold female voice told her that the caller was not in the service area. She frowned, remained silent for a while, and dialed Zhu Yikai's phone number: "Notify all personnel in 051 immediately, and gather in the research institute within half an hour." "Xiaozhou has relatives?" All members of 051 said in unison, even more surprised than hearing the news of Bin Laden's death. "It's not surprising that she has relatives. She couldn't have jumped out of a rock." Long Chuxia walked around the house with her arms folded, "However, I heard from Master that Mr. Wei's family members are all dead. , he is an orphan." Qu Siqi said impatiently: "Someone must have pretended to be a relative and kidnapped Xiaozhou." "Xiaozhou's father got into big trouble, and I was worried that these relatives who came out of nowhere were related to this matter." Long Chuxia said, "No, I'm going to Ueno County." "I'll go too." Zhu Yikai said. "I'll go too." Qu Siqi refused to lag behind. "No, you still have to go to class." "Just take a long vacation." Zhu Yikai said, "Anyway, my credits are enough." He squinted at Qu Siqi, "Siqi, it seems that you haven't handed in your midterm paper yet?" Qu Siqi's face turned pale immediately: "I've been trying my best to forget this, why do you want me to remember it again?" "Young man." Zhu Yikai patted him on the shoulder pretentiously, "You must focus on your studies." Qu Siqi wished to tear his gloating face to pieces. "Is this a meeting?" Sima Fanti opened the door and came in, seeing a room full of people, "What's going on?" "It's just in time, I want to take a week off." Long Chuxia said, "Go to Ueno County." "I can't go." Sima Fanti handed her a folder, "Recently, a big case has come up and you need to solve it." "What case is so important?" "Just look at it." Long Chuxia opened the folder, and his face immediately changed.As the pages turned, that pretty face turned white and red, red and black, as spectacular as a palette.Qu Siqi wanted to go over to see what the case was, she closed the folder with a "snap" and said, "I see. Kaizi, you leave for Ueno County immediately, and you must bring Xiaozhou back!" "What about me?" Qu Siqi expressed dissatisfaction, and Long Chuxia glanced at him: "We'll wait until your midterm paper is finished." The expression on Qu Siqi's face at this time was even more spectacular than that of Long Chuxia just now. Long Chuxia ignored him, took out a piece of yellow paper from the cabinet, drew a talisman on it with a brush dipped in cinnabar, folded it into the shape of a cat, threw it into the air, and the talisman paper burst into flames.Everyone's eyes blurred, a yellow cat threw itself into Zhu Yikai's arms, looked at him with gentle yellow eyes, and uttered a long and melodious meow. "Xiaozhou is a magnet, with a natural attraction to strange things." Long Chuxia said, "So I put a mark on her, and this cat can lead you to find her." "Shikigami!" Qin Zheming exclaimed in a fuss.Long Chuxia glared at him: "What shikigami? This is an illusion. It was the most popular in the Tang Dynasty, but unfortunately it was lost later." "Mr. Long." Qu Siqi smiled ambiguously, "Since this thing is so easy to use, how about..." "Want to conjure up a you to help you write a paper? There is no way!" Long Chuxia said, "If you are really so smart, I would like to conjure up another one to work for me. That's it, Kaizi, pay attention to safety , break up the meeting." Bai Xiaozhou sat in the van, looking at the half wooden sign in his hand.The wood is high-quality agarwood, carved with the shape of a fox, the carving is ancient and clumsy, it was broken from the fox's neck, it seems that it has been aged for a long time, and the cross-section has become very smooth.On the back of the wooden sign is half of the traditional Chinese character "Wei". She remembered seeing the other half in her grandfather's mountain hut, where he kept it in a dressing-case.She has never understood why grandpa, a big man, has a dressing box. She once asked if it was left by grandma, but grandpa just kept silent.Grandpa is very old, but his eyes are still clear. At that time, she clearly saw the trace of loneliness and sadness in his eyes. "Auntie." The middle-aged woman sitting in the passenger seat turned her head, "Our village is very remote and the roads are difficult to walk. If you get motion sickness, I have motion sickness medicine here." "You should still call me Xiaozhou, I'm really not used to calling me aunt." Bai Xiaozhou said, "Who else is there in the family?" A trace of pain flashed across Wei Yiwen's face, and it was fleeting: "There is no one at home, only a few women." "Where are the men?" "They all went out to work." Wei Yiwen turned his head sideways.The car bumped a bit, Bai Xiaozhou looked out the window, there were tall trees beside the road, and occasionally a few birds flew up from the forest, flapping their wings and soaring towards the sky. Feeling a little uneasy in her heart, maybe she shouldn't just see this wooden sign and come to this wilderness with a woman she never knew, but she can't let go of this opportunity, the only opportunity to understand Grandpa. A smear of white drifted across the forest, she was stunned for a moment, and leaned over the car window to look carefully, she could vaguely see a person in white clothes.The car was driving very fast, and the man and the trees quickly backed away. She couldn't see the man's appearance clearly, but she could clearly feel that the man was watching her. Maybe it's just a farmer, but, does the farmer wear white clothes, so he's not afraid of getting dirty? The car bumped on the road for several hours, and walked a long section of the winding mountain road, and finally saw a flat land where two small rivers intersect, and the village is located at the intersection. It looks similar to an ordinary southern village, black tiles and white The walls are simple in style. "Xiaozhou, the largest courtyard in the east of the village is our home." Wei Yiwen pointed to the distance, "It's the one with a large bamboo forest behind it." "What a big room." "Of course. Back then, our Wei family was also a well-known family. There were several high-ranking officials in our ancestors. All the land you can see belonged to our family. Unfortunately, it has fallen now. Only this courtyard and that bamboo forest are still there. The property of the Wei family." The van slowly drove into the village, and the noise of gongs and drums could be heard from a long distance away.Bai Xiaozhou got out of the car and saw a team approaching with strange dance steps, everyone wearing strange clothes and various animal masks. "This is an annual temple fair in our village. The third day of September every year is the birthday of Empress Zi Gui." "What is Empress Zi Gui?" "Miss Zi Gui is the god of this mountain forest. Although our village is located in a remote place, it is still relatively prosperous. Everyone has no worries about food and clothing, and it is because of the blessing of Empress Zi Gui." Wei Yiwen said, "These villagers play the role of the forest. The vegetation in the village is strange, and the most beautiful girl in the village will play the role of Empress Zigui. You see, that is Empress Zigui." In the parade, there was a sedan chair wrapped in red silk, in which sat a very young girl with long hair hanging down her body like a waterfall.She wore a white mask with blush on her face and a beauty spot on her forehead, making her look like a paper doll in a funeral shop. "The team will return to the Zigui Temple after the parade. I will take you home first, and I will take you to see the Zigui Temple later." Wei Yiwen led her through the long streets, and there were children from time to time Run past her. "Look, that's our home." The mottled wooden door, the black plaque, and the traditional red character "Wei" made Bai Xiaozhou feel like crying at that moment. It was the first time she felt that she was so close to her grandfather. Wei Yiwen opened the door, and there were several women sitting around knitting sweaters in the courtyard. When they heard the door opening, they all raised their heads, expressionless, and their eyes were so cold that it made the back of Bai Xiaozhou's neck feel cold. "This is Wei Tianlei's granddaughter Bai Xiaozhou." Wei Yiwen quickly introduced, "Xiaozhou, let me introduce you. The one sitting on the far left is my sister-in-law—Xia Ling, and the other two are my younger sisters, Wei Yi Fan and Wei Yitian." Bai Xiaozhou forced a smile to greet them, and the three of them immediately put on smiling faces and came over to hold her hand to ask her how she was. Xiaozhou was embarrassed by their sudden change of attitude.It was Wei Yiwen who came over to relieve the situation: "Okay, okay, if you have anything to say, we'll talk about it after dinner. I'll take her back to the room to rest for a while." Bai Xiaozhou followed her inside, and looked back at the three women, all of them looked at her gloomily, with an indescribable weirdness in their smiles. The uneasiness became stronger, and her intuition told her that there must be some secret hidden in this old house.
