Chapter 40 Thirty-ninth round

Lhasa is still Lhasa, just like when they left, the sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly. The dome of the Potala Palace is still shining under the blue sky, and nothing seems to have changed in the slightest. This ancient holy city is like their expressions, which will never change. They returned to Lhasa. "Sunshine"'s smile became as bright as the weather here, but Xiao Fang's complexion became darker. "It's like nothing happened here." "seems like it." "If those people have come and taken action, it must have become a mess here." Sunshine said: "Every time something happens, Bu Ying will send people to patrol outside the city to warn."

She smiled more happily: "But now there is not even one of us around here." They have not yet entered the Holy Land of Lhasa, and they can only see three people on the road, all of whom are devout followers of the Living Buddha. Those who have traveled thousands of miles to come here for pilgrimage, bow every three steps, knock every five steps, and use the most difficult methods to show their devotion and respect. Both mentally and physically, they have entered a state of semi-exhaustion, turning a blind eye to everything they can see, and deaf to everything they can hear. They have thrown themselves completely into an inaudible and unseen emptiness.

Xiao Fang suddenly changed the subject: "Although some events cannot be seen or heard, we still cannot deny their existence." With deep thought in his eyes, he continued slowly: "Sometimes it is even far more real than what can be seen and heard, and it also exists for a longer time." "Sunshine" could neither fully understand what he meant, nor understand why he suddenly said these words. But she didn't ask. Because she suddenly found that something had changed and became very strange. They decided to go to the "Eagle Records" shop on Bajiao Street to see what happened first, and then go back to see Buying.

So instead of taking the road next to the Potala Palace, they entered the urban area directly from the main road. The number of pedestrians on the street has gradually increased, and many people recognize "Sunshine". This is the place where she grew up. She has been a cheerful, enthusiastic and generous person since she was a child. She has been very pleasing and popular since she was a child, especially those beggars who are crawling on the soil and begging. Every time they see her, they will be like flies seeing honey. Come over like sugar. But today they avoided her as soon as they saw her, as if they didn't even dare to look at her. Even if some people were secretly looking at her, the expressions in their eyes were very ambiguous and secretive, and they even looked very scared, as if they were afraid What a plague she will bring upon them.

She herself knew that she was still the same person as before, and she hadn't changed at all. How did these people become like this?Is it because they all know that Xiao Fang is no longer a member of "Eagle Records"?Is it because Bu Ying has already warned them not to get close to Xiao Fang? These questions can only be answered after they arrive at "Eagle Records". They led the horses and quickly walked through the streets full of people and piles of goods, and finally saw the golden signboard of "Eagle Records". The signboard of "Eagle Records" is still shining in the sun as before.

"Sunshine" finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Zhu Yun might look a little weird when he sees you." She persuaded Xiaofang: "Just ignore him, no matter how he treats you, you'd better treat him well." Pretend not to see." Xiao Fang didn't dare to "pretend" that he didn't see it at all. Zhu Yun, who usually stayed at "Eagle's" all day long, was not there today, and neither were the guys who had served "Eagle" for many years. Although the signature storefront of "Eagle Records" has not changed at all, but all the clerks inside have changed, and "Sunshine" doesn't even recognize a single person.

They didn't even recognize "Sunshine" and regarded her as a customer. Two shop assistants greeted her at the same time and asked her and Xiaofang what they wanted to buy in Chinese and Tibetan. "Sunshine" feels absolutely amazing. Even if these newcomers don't recognize her, they should know that there is such a person in "Eagle Records", just like "Blue Sunshine". "I don't buy anything." Sunshine said, "I'm here to find someone." "Who are you looking for?" The Chinese-speaking guy had a round face and pointed head, and he looked funny, and he spoke very authentic Beijing movies.

"I'm looking for Zhu Yun." Zhu Yun is the chief manager here, but these two guys seem to have never heard of this name. The two of you looked at me, I looked at you, and shook their heads at the same time: "We haven't heard of such a person here." "Sunshine" felt even worse. "I think you must be new here." She asked the guy, "How long have you been here?" "It's only been three days." "Do you know who the boss here is?" The guy who said Beijing movies laughed. "As a clerk, if you don't even know who your boss is, isn't it a fool?"

He was not confused, so he said: "The boss here is surnamed Wei, not Wei from Yan Zhao Han Wei, but Wei from Tianjin Wei, called Wei Tianpeng." "Sunshine" hit the horse, and the horse galloped. ——How did the owner of the "Eagle Records" firm founded by Bu Ying become Wei Tianpeng? "have no idea!" All the guys are new here, they're all from out of town, and they don't know anything about these things!They hadn't even heard of Bu Ying's name. "Sunshine" believes that they really don't know, even if they kill them, they still don't know.

They also don't know where Wei Tianpeng is!As for the whereabouts of the boss, a buddy has no right to ask. ——Where is Bu Ying? "Sunshine" beat the horse, and the horse galloped towards Bu Ying's manor. She wasn't sure if Bu Ying was still there. Thinking of those people's strange expressions when they saw her, and the warm and treacherous look in their eyes, she already had an ominous omen in her heart that she didn't even want to think about. But she must find it. During the days when they left Lhasa, what happened here?What terrible changes have taken place?

All questions must be found in Bu Ying before they can be answered. But she couldn't find Bu Ying anymore. When she and Xiao Fang arrived at Bu Ying's manor, the place had turned into a pile of rubble, all the pavilions, pavilions, trees, flowers and plants had been burned clean by a big fire. "It was a big fire." Many years later, when people mentioned the fire, they still had lingering fears in their hearts: "There were at least thirty or forty fires, and thirty or forty places burned at the same time at the beginning, and they burned for three days and three nights." Everyone thought it was a "sky fire", a disaster that God sent to the family. The real cause of the fire was never known, and no one wanted to know. "Sunshine" stands among the rubble. She could vaguely tell that this place was originally an octagonal pavilion, surrounded by a sea of ​​flowers. Whenever Bu Ying was free in spring and autumn, she would always accompany him to have a drink or two and play a game of chess. Going east along a path paved with pebbles among the flowers is the small courtyard where she lives. She has lived there for ten years, all her dreams are woven there, and all her memories are left there. But now there is nothing. She stood there dazedly, staring dazedly at this piece of heartbreaking ruins. She didn't cry. For a beloved porcelain doll being smashed, she would cry, and for a kitten's death, she would cry for a long time. But now she didn't cry. The old dream is vague, devastated, no one, no voice, everything has been turned into fly ash. ——Where is Bu Ying? "He must be alive, and he must not die." She kept murmuring, repeating these two sentences over and over again, she didn't know whether she was speaking to Xiao Fang or comforting herself. Xiao Fang didn't even say a word, not a single word. What else can he say? This is not his hometown, not Jiangnan, but the pain in his heart is by no means lighter than hers. He understood her feelings for Bu Ying. The garden is burnt, but it can be rebuilt, but people can't be resurrected after death. As long as Bu Ying is still alive, nothing else matters. —Is he still alive? —if he is not dead, where are his people? There was a sound of heavy footsteps in the rubble, and a tall lama strode across the ashes. "Sunshine" turned his head and looked at him. "I recognize you." Although her voice was hoarse, she still managed to remain calm, "You are a disciple of the Great Kalon Lama." "Yes!" said the lama, "My name is Asu." "Did he call you here?" "yes." Asu's expression was also very sad: "I came here three days ago." "What are you here for?" "The fire was out by then, and I came to clean up the fire." "Sunshine"'s hands immediately trembled with excitement, and it took a long time before he could ask, "What did you find?" Asu also remained silent for a long time, waiting until his emotions calmed down before answering. "There is no escape, God's will is unpredictable. When I came here, there was nothing here. Everything was burned. I only found a little ashes." What he found was not "a little" ashes, the ashes he found filled thirteen earthen jars. "Ashes?" Sunshine tried his best to control himself: "Whose ashes?" "Whose ashes? Whose ashes?..." Asu said sadly, "There are also my clansmen and friends here. I have been looking for them day and night for the past three days, and I also want to know who they are It's a pity that everyone's bones have been turned into ashes, who else can tell?" "Everyone?" Sunshine asked, "What does everyone mean?" Asu sighed long and was speechless. "Sunshine" grabbed his cassock with all his strength: "Do you know how many people there were originally here? When you say everyone, do you mean that they all—?" Her voice stopped suddenly, as if even she herself was shocked by the thought of her. "No, never." She let go of her hand: "There must be someone alive here, there must be more, as long as you find one, you can ask where the others are." Aso shook his head silently. "Have you not found anyone?" "No." Asu said, "I didn't even find a living person." He continued slowly: "What happened here the night the fire started? Who set the fire? I'm afraid no one will ever be able to tell the truth." "No one can tell the truth?" Sunshine gradually lost control: "Can't you guess who the murderer is?" "Do you know who the murderer is?" "Of course I know." Sunshine clenched his fists and said a few names: "Wei Tianpeng, Shopkeeper Hu, Fengsou Yuepo, Yin Ling, these people are all murderers." "Do you think that with these people alone, you can wipe out Bu Ying, Zhu Yun, Yan Zhenggang, Old Master Song, and hundreds of soldiers here overnight? No one left alive?" Asu answered this question himself: "With these people alone, I'm afraid it can't be done." "Who else do you think?" "There are internal responses!" "Internal response?" Sunshine asked: "Do you think there are also their spies in ambush here?" "You can send spies in ambush in their organization, why can't they?" "Sunshine" was silent. After a long time, he suddenly asked, "Where's Bowa?" "That night, Bo Wa also came here." Asu said, "She said she must come to see Bu Ying." "She was here when the fire started?" "yes." "Where is she now? Is she dead or alive?" No one can answer this question, and Asu asked back: "Don't you suspect that she has become the other party's spy?" "Sunshine" refused to answer this question, but her attitude was already obvious. She had never trusted Beauvoir. Women have a natural hostility towards women, and few women can completely trust another woman, especially among beautiful women, this situation is more obvious. "You were wrong this time." Asu said decisively, "The spy is definitely not Bowa!" "How can you be sure?" "Because..." Asu hesitated, and it took a long time before he made up his mind and said, "Because I accidentally discovered a secret." "What secret?" "About the secrets between Buying, Banchabana, and Bowa, about their life experiences and..." Aso didn't finish the sentence. On his serious and heavy face, a very mysterious and pleasant smile suddenly appeared, and suddenly he knelt down slowly, once he knelt down, he didn't move anymore. The sky was clear and the fields were deserted, and the crystal-clear ghost, the little girl with pigtails, and the cute snow-white poodle were invisible. When did they poison Asu?What secret does Aso know? Why didn't Yin Ling let him tell the secret? What does a secret about Buying, Panchabana, and Bowa have to do with Yinling and the others? Sunshine suddenly took Xiao Fang's hand again: "Let's go." She said, "Let's go find Bu Ying." "Can you find him?" "As long as he doesn't die, I can find it." Sunshine is still full of confidence: "He will definitely not die." "If he is not dead, how can he leave these things behind?" Xiao Fang asked. "A viper stings a hand, and a strong man cuts off his wrist." Sunshine said, "When necessary, he can leave anything behind and sacrifice everything." She continued slowly: "Because he wants to live, no matter how hard it is, he has to live, because he still has to rebuild his homeland and wipe out his enemies, so he can walk, but can't die! " She stared at Xiao Fang: "You should understand that sometimes death is much easier than life. Although some people would rather choose the easier path than die, he is definitely not this kind of person." "Yes, I understand." Xiao Fang suddenly gained confidence: "He must still be alive, and he will definitely not die!"
