Chapter 7 Chapter Six

A guest came tonight. He is about thirty years old, with fluffy and disheveled brown hair, black-rimmed glasses on his face, and a thin body. From the perspective of proportion, this person's head is larger than his body, which makes people feel that he is Must be very smart. He is sitting in the boss's study, neither the boss nor Ah Jing have ever seen him. He said: "Listen... I heard that here you can use some things and exchange... for other things." This person has a unique appearance and the same way of speaking. He is very nervous and stutters. The boss answered him: "Yes, Dr. Gao, what do you want to pawn?"

Dr. Gao said: "I... I... will soon find a drug that can completely cure cancer." Ah Jing said, "It's amazing!" Then, she handed Dr. Gao a glass of red wine, and she wanted to know if he would still stutter after drinking some wine to calm himself down. Dr. Gao drank half a glass of red wine, showed an expression of admiration, and then smirked at Ah Jing, intending to express his appreciation for the glass of wine. The boss said: "Drugs that cure cancer can be said to benefit the population." "But...but...but..." His stuttering was still serious: "I was a little bit...a little bit..." He went on: "Every time, when I was about to solve the mystery, I just encountered Some kind of resistance...resistance...either the power outage in the trade laboratory, or the sponsor's refusal to sponsor...More of."

Ah Jing asked: "You want us to ensure that everything goes well for you?" "Yes... yes..." Dr. Gao said. Ah Jing asked further: "Then what do you use as a pawn?" Dr. Gao replied: "I...I exchange the intelligence of the eldest son of all my descendants." The boss and Ah Jing were both stunned.Then Ah Jing blurted out: "Good! Good! I promise you!" In the eyes of the boss, he vaguely saw a flash of crystal light.He said: "We have to consider this transaction. Dr. Gao, please go back first." Ah Jing was a little stunned, she looked at the boss, and then at their guests.Because the boss had signaled to see off the guests, she had no choice but to come out and send Dr. Gao away.

While seeing her off, she said to Dr. Gao: "You sacrificed your offspring for the benefit of all mankind. You are so great." Dr. Gao's smile is still silly. "Must... inevitably." Ah Jing asked again: "How many children does Dr. Gao have?" Dr. Gao said: "I have not married a wife yet." All of a sudden, Ah Jing had to be stunned.Dr. Gao's expression is calm. The door opened, Dr. Gao bowed to Ah Jing, and stepped out of the pawn shop.Outside, it's windy again tonight. Ah Jing frowned. When the door was closed, she turned to face the room, tilted her head slightly, closed her eyes, and concentrated. Then, she saw the future of Dr. Gao from the closed eyelids.

She also walked in. It was a laboratory. Dr. Gao was working hard on experiments, and a woman walked into the laboratory with three boys. The woman and Dr. Gao had an affectionate hug, and the three boys, Walk around the lab. Dr Gao will have three sons.Ah Jing smiled slightly, she was relieved, she was most afraid that he would have no children at all, Ah Jing didn't want to be in a loss-making business. Satisfied, she walked out of other people's future.Recovering his mind, Ah Jing walked to the study. She said to her boss: "Dr. Gao will have three sons in his life, so don't feel sorry for him for losing the intelligence of the eldest son. There are still two left."

The boss said, "I don't want to do this business." Ah Jing knew that the boss had this plan.She said: "This is a lucrative business. Sooner or later someone will discover a cure for cancer, but given Dr. Gao's opportunity, we can obtain the valuable intelligence of his descendants." The boss still insisted: "Because it will not be a rare thing to cure cancer sooner or later, I don't want to possess the intelligence of Dr. Gao's heir. The price he paid is too high, and ours is too cheap." After saying that, the boss ignored Ah Jing, he turned around, held a book, and read it with his head down.

Ah Jing said: "Our business is not good these days, but you push left and right!" The boss didn't answer. Ah Jing whispered: "It's unreasonable!" Then, she walked out of the study resentfully, her high heels clucking, and she went down the stairs to the dungeon. From those wooden frames full of hands, feet, human organs, luck, time, reason, fortune, and pleading, Ah Jing kept walking, as if walking endlessly, surrounded by human pawns, every age Well, what human beings can produce is nothing more than this, and in the end, those who are put in this dungeon are all souls that do not return one after another.

There is still an end.This end is the coldest.Ah Jing pushed open the door in front of her and walked in. This is Ah Jing's workshop.She is responsible for counting the pawns among them every six months, and then writes a report and submits it to the superior. "How do you ask me to write this time?" She picks up the ink pen annoyedly, and flips through the thick and heavy leather book. After this book is often read by that important person, all the handwriting will disappear, this time, of course Ah Jing turned to the first page again.The past, without a trace, is always the first page, always a new beginning.

She wrote on: "Mr. Vonderik, pawning his patience genes; Miaa Paradis, pawning a chance to go to college; Mr. Toru Hayamura, pawning a pair of legs..." At the time of writing, I was still unhappy at first, but for a while now, I only have trivial pawns.However, looking at this ink pen that would leak ink, she recalled the situation when the boss taught her to write stroke by stroke, and the unhappiness soon subsided with her strokes. An illiterate rural girl was held by the boss to learn Chinese characters first, then went to Kong Yiji, an adult, and then learned ABCDE.Because of low self-esteem, she loses her temper while studying. Ah Jing is afraid that learning to read is due to her inability. Fearing that she is not capable enough, she expresses her childish dissatisfaction in advance, and throws away countless brushes and ink pens.

However, in the end, she replaced embarrassment and anger with strangeness. She didn't know that there is a man in this world who is so patient. He is willing to teach her a few new words every day. Still teaching her every day.Later, the man's patience overwhelmed the woman's panic, and since she didn't know when, she was able to read, and she had achieved a skill that she had never imagined. This man is like a stone statue, always keeping his expression on his face. Ah Jing watched him from a distance, so he thought it was funny.He told her that if she learned how to read and write, the world would be much wider, and immortality might not be so easy to get bored.She thought about it, maybe she was right, she could read after learning to read, that is to say, she could read recipes.

Neither good nor bad. Today, although holding a book in your hand will hurt your eyes and make you feel dizzy, and you still can't bear to finish reading a book, but at the very least, you won't get lost in any city in the world.Sure enough, immortality, knowing more words, the world is much more fun. Now Ah Jing is keeping accounts and thinking about things that make her happy, a smile appears on the corner of her mouth. How to cover up for the boss those guests who came but were rejected by him?This Dr. Gao, it is better to write him as a genetically wrong person. His genes are not good, and the genes passed on to all offspring are also bad. Therefore, it is not worth the transaction at all, and the pawnshop doesn’t care! Half a year ago, the boss returned his sanity to a customer. Ah Jing was also sweating when he knew about the practice of asking the customer to redeem the pawn. Fortunately, the boss did not forget to ask the customer for something in exchange.The boss wants to return the life of the guest's late-born grandson. Ah Jing knew that it was a mentally retarded fetus, but she deliberately wrote in the account book that the unborn fetus was of high value and should have a shocking fate.Writing it down in this way compensated for the boss's undeserved mercy. Putting down the pen, Ah Jing breathed a sigh of relief.Those who only hoped to review the account books did not find out. Time and time again, there are always many transactions every year. Ah Jing wants to cover up for the boss, and he can avoid it every time, but Ah Jing is always cold-hearted.If the reviewer is unhappy, she and the boss don't know what will happen. She could have pushed the boss to come out and plead guilty. She knew that her life would only be better afterwards, but she didn't want to. Accompany him to commit crimes just because she wants to accompany him. She knew that at most two people would suffer together.Although she hadn't done it, if he was guilty, she would have it. Even though this man is like a stone statue, unresponsive, impulsive, and longing, she is the one who protects him the most. Sometimes Ah Jing would think that the boss did those bad manners and didn't think about the safety of the two of them at all, which is really selfish and hateful.She taught him a lesson, but if he didn't listen, she taught him a lesson again.And in the end, she let him. Let him let him let him let him. The angry woman, after the incident, she was scared and frightened, and then acted as if nothing happened. And the man who always stayed out of the matter didn't even say thank you. Just playing his nasty violin. The sound of the piano sounded again in the boss's office, the unique lingering violin, reverberating and weeping one after another. Ah Jing will never be able to tell the difference between this song and the previous one.In fact, what the boss is playing at the moment is "Dedicated to Spring" by Grieg.She had listened to it for a hundred years, but she still didn't understand it. The world of violin sounds is the world of the boss, she doesn't understand.It's just that the world has already surrounded her. She covered the big and thick account book, walked out of this small room, walked past the wooden shelves for storing pawns, and passed by these possessions that belonged to human beings. When it came to the beginning of everything, she felt deeply sighed. Before the boss's song was finished, a note went out of tune with excitement.Ah Jing raised his eyebrows, walked up the stairs, and left the dungeon. In fact, the boss was trying out a new violin he had just made, and the strings weren't good enough. He knew Ah Jing must be extremely distressed in the dungeon.He had flipped through that account book, Ah Jing always beautified what he did, after beautifying, all betrayals were not betrayals.For many years, he has been safe and sound, not because of her. He adjusted the string and played it on the shoulder of the french. The moon is so round tonight, and there is a thin layer of smile on his face, which is as thin as the mist accompanying the moon. Everything in the pawnshop remains the same.Ah Jing puts a table full of food during breakfast, lunch and dinner, and flies around the world to search for food when he gets bored.Recently, she bought a vineyard in Austria to make red wine. She knows that the boss is not greedy, but the boss loves to drink, so she owns her vineyard and uses it to make what she thinks is the best wine for her boss. Good vintage. What she usually does is to know the performance time and place of first-class symphony orchestras around the world, and then reserve the best seats half a year in advance.Organize your boss's work and rest schedule, and accompany him to attend and enjoy his favorite music. The more trivial things are changing his clothes, subscribing to magazines for him, and even recording the TV shows he loves from all over the world.What to solve the mystery of genes, explore the universe, and the mysteries of the deep sea.The boss has surpassed human beings early, but he is still full of affection for human beings and the earth. Ah Jing's life revolves around the boss, just like the second hand follows the minute hand, and the satellite follows the star.Very busy very busy. The person being served always has her back, watching TV, reading books, meditating, and playing the violin behind her back, and the woman who is being served is actually willing to smile at that back. Maybe, it will be easier to fall in love with that back; maybe, a back is enough to replace all self, dignity, and humble; maybe, this back is the most beautiful. Ah Jing turned her eyes away from the back, she walked back to her palace and closed the door.She poured a glass of wine and drank a lin for this immortal love. Soon after, Ah Jing decided to find something else to do, she wanted to renovate the No. 8 pawn shop. The curtain changed from the original red to beige veil, giving the walls of famous paintings a stone texture. All the dark brown old furniture will disappear, and Ah Jing will replace it with light gray sofas and white chairs. In addition, flowers are placed everywhere in the house every day. In the end, it will be like the modern furniture in Europe and America. When it's the boss's study room, she won't touch the thousands of books, but she also wants to get rid of the old library atmosphere in this study room, and everything is mainly beige, modern and elegant. The project was in progress, and one day, when Ah Jing was supervising the work in the study, he casually reached out among the tens of thousands of books and opened them again, and found something that did not belong to this book. It was an old photo.In the photo is the boss, accompanied by a woman.The boss was wearing an ancient suit, and the woman was Chinese, but she also wore a western suit, her hair style was also that of a Western woman, and she wore a hat on her head. Ah Jing examines the photo, it should be a hundred years ago.She probably knew who the boss was before, he was an overseas student, but she didn't know anything about the boss's private life. It really made her a little surprised, why did the boss take a photo with a woman? And in the yellowed photo, there is still a lingering feeling of happiness. Ah Jing looked at the photo, who is she? Has the boss ever had love? Thinking of this, Ah Jing was both excited and jealous.Excitement is that she discovered that the boss has other qualities, and jealousy is that the boss gave his love to others, but left nothing for her. She gritted her teeth, put the photos away, put them back in the book, and placed them on the bookshelf. She remembered the woman's face, and she was sure it was impressive. The face that surprised Ah Jing belonged to Lu Yunyin.She also passed away for a while. The last time the boss saw her was fifty years ago. In that year, Lu Yunyin was seventy-three years old, with terminal cancer, waiting to die in the hospital ward. The boss also went back to Lu Yunyin to visit her occasionally, but he never let her see him every time. After the burn, she recovered very well, and what the boss asked for was also fulfilled by Lu Yunyin.Her skin miraculously did not leave any burn marks, and her appearance was as beautiful as ever.And Han Lei is also well-behaved, smart, and healthy. Lu Yunyin has been waiting for Han Nuo to come back. Everyone is worried about Han Nuo's mysterious disappearance. She loves her husband so much that she doesn't even think about eating or drinking. Some people said that he met bandits; some said that he joined the Revolutionary Party; others said that he was actually sent by the Qing government to investigate the activities of the Revolutionaries. She has been waiting, five years, ten years... has been waiting. Like all Chinese women, she has become a boudoir, and the only sphere of activity is the Han family mansion. She serves the members of the Han family, teaches Han Lei well, and she keeps the photos taken with her husband in England, so be careful Whenever I have time, I stare in a daze. Han Nuo pawned his love in exchange for Lu Yunyin's happiness.He, who has become a boss, went back to Lu Yunyin to visit her, but he found out that she had not been blessed.He exchanged her eternal love for her life's happiness. That happiness should be extremely beautiful!However, she just sat in the room, day after day, leaning against the window and staring at their group photo. Sunrise, noon, dusk, sunset.As long as her eyesight occasionally allowed, her eyes would fall on the certificates of the two, and in the end, their group photo became the only scenery in her sight. No matter who you see, no matter what kind of scenery is in front of you, your eyes can only reflect the group photo. I am deeply immersed in this photo, as if my life has been trapped in the photo. Can no longer live in reality. At first, when the boss found out about Lu Yunyin's gloomy days, he was very dissatisfied and almost confronted the person in charge.Later, he realized that no one was wrong. Lu Yunyin has always had many admirers. Three years after Han Nuo's death, when the 1911 Revolution had just succeeded for a short period of time, a nobleman from the former Qing Dynasty fled south and went to the Han Mansion to meet Mrs. Han. When Lu Yunyin passed by the side hall, When he saw it from a distance, his heart trembled, and he couldn't sleep all night after only seeing it. Later, this Qing Dynasty nobleman fled to Japan and settled down for a year. Seeing that the environment was safe, he returned to Guangdong in order to see Lu Yunyin again. Don't lose her. He proposed marriage to the Han family, and he didn't mind asking for a woman whose husband had disappeared and brought her son with her.Lu Yunyin rejected him. Lu Yunyin refused him, didn't take him to heart, and didn't even want to see him. Another three years later, Han Lei suffered from pneumonia, and Lu Yunyin refused to let her child take a fancy to Sui. She asked to see a western doctor. With the help of Master Lu, she invited a British doctor to treat Han Lei. After the child's illness was cured, this A British doctor has fallen in love with Lu Yunyin deeply.And she also rejected the kindness of this British gentleman.Even though, during the months of conversation, Lu Yunyin understood that everyone had similar interests, and the other party was sincere. When Han Lei was twelve years old, Mrs. Han passed away, and the Han family separated. Lu Yunyin took her son back to live with her natal family, and Lu's family moved to Shanghai, where a banker saw I fell in love with Lu Yunyin. He is one of the three big chaebols in China. He studied in the United States in his early years and was young and promising.The result was the same, Lu Yunyin rejected him again, without any room for consideration. Yes, the promised fate has been implemented one by one on Lu Yunyin. Her life is stable, and there are always excellent men who sincerely give her blessings. However, she defies these blessings and abandons them to her own destiny outside. Every time the boss sees her stubbornly, coldly, and irrelevantly sending away other people's love, he just doesn't understand why.The boss who has lost his sense of love only knows that this is a woman's irrational behavior.The consequence of her refusal of these benefits is to live alone. With her, there is only the group photo that is gradually turning yellow.
