Chapter 8 Chapter Seven The Place

At that time, the head of state was only a policeman in a small place, a small official with sesame seeds and mung beans, and he was still a thousand miles away from the head of state. He said that he had a strong belief in being the head of state. Anyone who heard it would think it was an idiot talking in his sleep . Tao Qiquan hadn't taken to heart what the head of state said at that time.But now that the head of state has really become the head of state, Tao Qiquan couldn't help being a little surprised, he said with a smile: "Your situation is 'eating shit and eating beans', I don't know what kind of shit you paid transport!"

The head of state was not angry, but laughed together with Tao Qiquan: "How much information do I have, others don't know if you don't know? It's good luck, of course, it's okay. The beginning of good luck is that I met—— " When the head of state spoke up to this point, he suddenly stopped talking. Tao Qilai didn't pay much attention to what he said—since then, Tao Qiquan believed that the position of the head of state was arranged by his power, so no matter what the head of state said, he would think that the head of state was talking nonsense. So Tao Qiquan didn't ask further.

The head of state also drank heavily immediately, and did not continue the conversation. After drinking for a while, Tao Qiquan asked the head of state to take out the mosquito, but the head of state did not agree.Tao Qiquan didn't remember what excuse the head of state used to decline at that time—maybe Tao Qiquan didn't hear clearly at that time, because the two of them were almost drunk. Tao Qiquan explained this passage in great detail. Lansi listened attentively, and only after Tao Qiquan finished speaking did she ask, "The head of state never told you, where did his mosquito come from?"

Lansi ignored Tao Qiquan's impatience, and asked again: "When the head of state got the mosquito, he was just the police chief of a small place?" Tao Qiquan said: "I don't know when he got that mosquito. When he showed me, he hadn't become the chief of police—it wasn't long before he became the police chief." Lan Si thought about it for a while, and then asked: "Before this, not long ago, will the head of state have a chance to meet a big man—it should be a very great big man!" Lansi's question was extremely abrupt. But when Tao Qiquan heard it, he immediately showed a surprised and inexplicable expression, opened his mouth wide, saw Lansi, and was speechless for a while.

His expression made people know that although Lansi's question was weird, it was right! Everyone looked at Tao Qiquan anxiously, waiting for his answer. Tao Qiquan took another deep breath, and then said: "Yes. Not long ago, there was a big man—the founding father, the Grand Marshal. After retiring, he traveled around the country and passed by us. He drove by himself and did not disturb the local officials. Stupid —that is, the Führer said he not only met him, but also saved his life." Things seemed to be getting more and more complicated, Tao Qiquan waved his hand: "It was completely accidental, and there was no one else present at the time, everything was said by the head of state himself, and I don't know if it is reliable."

Lansi was in a hurry: "Tell me about the situation at that time." Tao Qiquan obviously didn't believe the head of state's words after decades, so he still emphasized: "That's all what he said. He said that that afternoon, he passed the road and saw a car parked by the side of the road. , he went over to take a look, and saw an old man with a painful expression and shaking hands, trying to reach for a bottle placed on the front of the car, but he was still a few inches away, but he had no strength to reach forward. He saw this situation, In a moment of happiness, he saw that the old man had a heart attack and was about to take medicine, but he had no strength to take the medicine. He opened the car door and took the bottle in his hand. I understand that I need to take two pills."

When Tao Qiquan said this, he paused for a while, as if he was talking to himself: "Originally, what this fool said was not trustworthy, but with his level of intelligence, if he was lying, he would not be able to tell such detailed details." Tao Qiquan has always called the Führer a fool, and in his mind, the Führer's stupidity is not a small stupidity, but a big stupidity. When Tao Qiquan described the stupidity of the head of state, he was merciless, but I never took it seriously—I firmly believe that if a person is really so stupid, it is impossible for him to be the head of state.

But at this time, in order not to interrupt his narration, I didn't say anything. Tao Qiquan continued: "He put two medicines into the old man's mouth, and gave the old man two sips of the water he carried with him. After a while, the old man's expression gradually returned to normal, and he also recognized what the old man was at this time People." Tao Qiquan stopped at this point. Everyone waited for a while, but he didn't say anything further.I was impatient: "What happened next?" Tao Qiquan said: "Afterwards the Generalissimo continued his journey, but he passed away less than half a year later."

Lansi's expression became even more nervous: "He saved the Generalissimo, how can the Generalissimo thank him?" Tao Qiquan replied: "When he told me about this incident, I didn't believe it at all. I thought it was nonsense. I also teased him and asked him how the Generalissimo would repay his life-saving grace, but he just shook his head and didn't say anything. ...Thinking about it now...he was a bit of a ghost computer at the time, like...something to hide..." After all, many years had passed, and Tao Qiquan didn't believe the words of the head of state at all, so Tao Qiquan didn't remember very clearly what happened.

I don't know why Lansi pursued this kind of past events to the end, but she seemed to be at a critical juncture, and asked again: "After this incident, did he suddenly disappear for many days?" Tao Qiquan's expression was even more bewildered: "How did you know, when you—" When Tao Qiquan said this, he shook his head vigorously, unable to speak.Because Lansi hadn't been born at all at that time, of course she couldn't be there. However, every question asked by Gossamer hits the nail on the head, which is really surprising. All of a sudden, everyone's eyes were on Lansi.

I saw that Lansi's eyes were not focused, as if she was looking at a very distant place, and her expression was also very complicated, as if mixed with surprises, which was different from the original extreme anxiety. It seemed that she had something else in her heart. think. Of course we don't know what she thought. After a while, she murmured: "Legend... legend... that legend..." She said the "legend" several times in a row, which made people even more confused. There are tens of millions of legends in human history, and they don't know which one she is talking about. Among them, only Bai Su came to Lan Si thoughtfully, and said in a deep voice, "Legend? That... the legend of the development?" Lansi looked up at Bai Su: "Cousin, have you heard of that legend?" Hearing this, I couldn't help but wonder what they were talking about.But I opened my mouth, but before I made a sound, Bai Su seemed to have eyes behind her back, knowing what I was going to do, and waved to me, motioning me not to disturb. Bai Su went on to answer Lan Si's question: "Yes, when I was very young, I heard it from adults. According to legend, there is a place, if you can go in and bring something out, you can fulfill a wish— —” The next conversation between Lan Si and Bai Su was to talk to each other in more detail about the content of the legend they had heard - I have already described the content at the beginning of the story, so of course I won't repeat it here. I believe Tao Qiquan and Shui Hong, after hearing their conversation at that time, felt the same as me in their hearts. I can't believe that such a legend has actually become a fact in life. When the conversation between Yousu and Lansi came to an end, I first said: "According to what you said, the head of state has been to the legendary place and brought something out, and his wish is to be the head of state, so his After the wish is fulfilled, he becomes the head of state?" My words sound a bit cumbersome, that's because my thoughts were still very disordered at the time. But my question, both Baisu and Lansi can understand.At this time, I saw that Bai Su had doubts about whether this legend could really appear in life, because she didn't answer my question right away, but Lan Si was convinced, and she said with certainty: "That's right. !He's been to that legendary place—" Lan Si just said this. Tao Qiquan is easier than me to believe the legend because he has always believed that the head of state is a super stupid person for decades. , he suddenly realized, so he naturally accepted the whole content of the legend. At that time, I shuddered and said, "A mosquito is the same thing?" Lan Si said: "It should be counted—as long as it is something from that place." Bai Su thought for a while: "It must be extremely difficult to bring anything out from that place. It is conceivable that when the mosquito was biting him, it was slapped to death by him, but it stayed on his body, so I avoided it." Check and bring it out." At this moment, Shuihong asked a question I was about to ask: "How did he know where the legendary place is?" Tao Qiquan answered Shui Hong's question: "Of course the Grand Marshal told him—so he really met the Grand Marshal! This guy, he actually kept it from me, and never revealed to me the secret that he knew about the legend. " Shui Hong surrounded Tao Qiquan with his arms again, and said in a weak voice, "He can't tell you—if I tell you, he won't be able to be the head of state. Don't blame him, he has been the head of state for so many years, what do you say?" , What does he listen to, how can it be like this if someone else is replaced! It is better for him to help you than to be the head of state yourself!" Shui Hong's analysis was sensible, simple and clear, not only Tao Qiquan was amazed, but even Bai Su and I applauded. I couldn't help but asked another question: "In this way, the Generalissimo must have gone to the right place? Otherwise, he would not be the Generalissimo. But who told him?" Although this question sounds a bit stupid, it is not easy to answer. Bai Su thought for a while before saying: "That happened many years ago, and it's an extremely secret, so of course there's no way to check it." Although the matter has developed to this point, it seems that I have seen a ray of light from a cloud of fog, but my thoughts are still very disordered, many questions are entangled, and it is not easy to find out which one to solve first. As I thought about it, I asked the most urgent question first: "Even if the head of state has been to the legendary place in his early years and became the head of state because of this, it still cannot solve some of the current mysteries—why did he disappear? Why did the head of the guard commit suicide? How could he suddenly appear and suddenly disappear...Many problems still cannot be solved. Also, Wen Baoyu disappeared, where did he go? Did he also go to the legendary place?" I asked a lot of questions in a series, and Lansi said in a deep voice, "I can only speculate that Xiaobao probably went there." I stared and asked, "Why do you see that?" Lansi's answer was very mysterious - it was still based on the legend. She said: "That legend says that I don't know where that place is..." She only said one sentence, and I couldn't help interrupting: "Listen to what you said just now, is it plausible?" "I don't know where that place is" sounds really awkward, so I asked this question. But Lansi glared at me: "That's the legend, how do I know if it's true or not! I don't know where that place is, it's just like that. It's also because I don't know where that place is, so Xiaobao came there place, I will not feel his presence." After her explanation, I kind of understand what it means to "I don't know where that place is". "That place does not know where" means "that place has a place in our concept." Is this kind of understanding even more confusing? Or to put it another way: that place belongs to nowhere. More confused?It does give people such a feeling—because the situation is beyond the scope of human knowledge, and even beyond the scope of human perception.It is of course extremely difficult to express such a situation with the existing language of human beings, and the more you speak, the more confused you will appear. But I shall try to make the situation as clear as possible. My understanding is: "The place, to be specific, is not on Earth." That place is not only not on the earth, nor on other stars. If it is on other stars, even if it is hundreds of millions of light-years away, there is a place there. It is not "I don't know where it is." I don't know where I am, I just don't know where I am at all, I don't know where I am.In the simplest terms, it should belong to another space, which is in line with the saying "I don't know where that place is". At that time, except for Lansi, everyone else was trying to make themselves understand the meaning of this sentence-I believe that Lansi didn't fully understand it, but she believed in the legend without reservation, so even if she didn't understand , she can also accept it completely. And that place was beyond her senses, and of course it was "I don't know where" to her. I first brought up what I thought, and Shui Hong first agreed: "It must be like that! That is a place beyond the concept." Tao Qiquan was puzzled: "After all, where is that place?" Shui Hong's imagination and comprehension ability obviously surpassed Tao Qiquan's, she said: "You don't have to, and you can't find out where that place is; let alone ask what kind of place it is. In short, knowing that there is such a place— — as long as there is such an understanding.” After hearing these few words from Shui Hong, Tao Qiquan raised his hands high, expressing his surrender. Bai Su and I applauded vigorously, because she spoke very thoroughly - only when we understand such a place conceptually, can everything continue to be discussed.Otherwise, if we keep asking where that place is, we will not be able to discuss anything further. At that time, although Bai Su and I agreed with Shui Hong's statement, Shui Hong, including Shui Hong himself, only put forward such an idea. Not only did we not know what the actual situation was, but we couldn't even make further assumptions. The subsequent development of the situation was completely in line with our original idea at that time, which was not expected at the beginning.Afterwards, others don't know how, at least I myself, never belittle myself, feel very proud. Lan Si accepted Shui Hong's statement even more, and she said, "That's how it is!" She said, looking at me, because I was the first to say what she said was not right. I could only smile wryly——I still think this sentence is outrageous. Since what this sentence expresses is beyond the scope of human knowledge, then "outrageous" is a matter of course. I waved my hand: "Now we have a beginning, and we have also established a concept—that is all theoretical, and we should return to practical issues!" The real question is what is going on with the head of state and Wen Baoyu now—what kind of situation are they in?No danger?And most importantly: how to get them back from there? Everyone was silent for about three minutes, and then they all focused their eyes on Bai Su. Everyone has the same understanding, and the conjectures derived from it are of course similar. It is not necessary for everyone to say it once, as long as one person with the most analytical ability expresses his opinion. And among the people present at that time, Bai Su was the one who was favored by everyone, so everyone's eyes were focused on her. Bai Su was not too polite, after thinking about it, she stated her inference. Bai Su's deduction started a long time ago. Several years ago, a policeman in a small place accidentally rescued a big man. The big man told him a legend and the secret of how to get there. So this policeman went to the legendary place and successfully brought out one thing (a mosquito). He had a great wish - to be the head of state. As a result, his wish came true, and he really ascended to the throne of the head of state. Although in the eyes of some people, he may be really a fool, but since he has the backing of that legend, he can be the head of state smoothly.Moreover, there are big chaebols like Tao Qiquan whom he has known since he was a child. People think that they cooperate seamlessly, and they can't imagine that there are other twists and turns in it. After the head of state became the head of state, he naturally knew how he came to be the head of state, so he always carried the mosquito with him.At least once or twice he could hardly resist revealing this big secret to his best friend Tao Qiquan.But finally at the last moment, he held back and did not speak out. Although he is not smart, he also knows that if he speaks out, he will not be able to be the head of state. Since he has such a big secret, his behavior can't help but be a little strange.For example, in the study in this annex, he often spends a long time alone in the study without knowing what he is doing. In the ditch outside the country wall behind the study, the power switch of the energized defense equipment is only in his own hands, which is also one of his strange behaviors. Bai Su also particularly emphasized that there must be many other actions of the head of state, and it was because he concealed them well that they did not attract attention.Bai Su also pointed out that the strange behavior of the head of state should all be related to that legend. When Bai Su said this, he paused and asked for our opinion with winks.None of us said anything. We all agree with Bai Su's statement that the head of state has strange behaviors, and the strange behaviors are related to his legend.However, it is impossible to imagine the specific situation. Bai Su said that she couldn't imagine it at the moment.But she makes an assumption: "Things must have changed up until recently." What kind of change it is, I can't say in detail. It may be that the wish of the year has expired, for example, to be the head of state for forty years.Then it is possible that his time as head of state is approaching. Or, even his life has come to an end. In short, others don't know it, but he himself understands it very well.This may be the reason why he suddenly and urgently summoned the commander-in-chief and the other four. What he was going to explain to the commander-in-chief was unknown, because the four of them did not see him, and when he was alone in the study, the accident had already happened. What kind of accident happened, of course Wujian knows for sure, but the process of the accident can only be guessed slightly. The first step in the process was that the Führer left the study—maybe he left on his own initiative, or maybe some external force forced him to leave.There are also two possibilities for the way of leaving. One is that he turned off the power, climbed over the wall, and left through the ditch; the other is that he suddenly went from the study to the legendary place. Since the place is unknown, the way to get there should also be unimaginable, and there is an unspeakable weirdness. When Bai Su said this, he took a breath, and gave an example, he might have transformed first before entering that place. Everyone was astonished when they heard this, and they didn't understand why Bai Su gave such a weird example. Bai Su didn't explain right away, and continued with her deduction. She assumed that when the commander-in-chief waited for the four people to come to Bielun, the head of state had already left, and the four of them could not wait to be summoned, so they wanted to break in. When I left, I was deformed, so when I came back, there must be a process of deformation. This process may be terrifying, and it cannot be weird and inexplicable. In short, it exceeds the level that people can imagine.That's why the chief guard committed suicide. When Bai Su said this, we realized that the reason why Bai Su gave such an example was to show that when the head of state left and returned, there were extraordinary scenes. Bai Su continued to express her conjecture. She thought that the head of state might be able to control his coming and going, or he might not be able to control it anymore. In short, the phenomenon caused was: he suddenly left the study and came back suddenly. When the commander-in-chief waited for four people to be summoned by him, he left the study. He just came back when the chief guard opened the study door. When the commander-in-chief and other four people also rushed into the study, he was not in the study. And when Wen Baoyu broke into the study, it is believed that the head of state returned to the study. Bai Su speculates that the head of state comes and goes, which sounds very mysterious, and he doesn't know why he has this ability, it seems that the basis is very weak. But no matter how much you think about it, it is difficult to make another guess.And only Bai Su's assumption can explain some mysteries. So when Bai Su paused for a moment to ask for everyone's opinions, although not all agreed with Bai Su's idea, there was no objection either. Bai Su then sighed: "Now comes the most important part of the matter." The most important part of the matter, of course, is assuming that Wen Baoyu met the head of state, what happened! As soon as Bai Su brought up this point, I hurriedly said: "The head of state told Baoyu the legend, and also told Wen Baoyu the way to go there, so Wen Baoyu went there." Lansi shook her head: "It's too late in time—it will take at least five minutes to explain the ins and outs of the legend. At that time, when we knew that Wen Baoyu had entered the study, we rushed there immediately. The time was so short that we couldn't explain it clearly." Lansi's words were very important, because if Wen Baoyu hadn't understood the cause and effect, he wouldn't have said nothing, separated from Lansi, and went to that place by himself. When I thought about this, I further thought that even if Wen Baoyu understood everything, even if the place had a strong attraction for Wen Baoyu and he had to go there, he would not leave without saying goodbye, which worried Lansi. So Wen Baoyu's leaving the study was not voluntary. When I brought this up, Lan Si pursed her lips and remained silent. Bai Su said, "There is another possibility, that is, the matter was urgent and he left the study without any consideration. It's not that he didn't want to talk to Lan Si, but There is no such opportunity at all.” Lansi smiled wryly: "If there is no such opportunity, the situation at that time must be extremely dangerous and inexplicably dangerous, Xiaobao, he..." When she said this, she was very worried. Bai Su said: "Weixin must be dangerous and dangerous, and it is more likely that things will happen suddenly, he has no chance to think about it at all." Lan Si looked at Bai Su with questioning eyes.Bai Su: "Just now I assumed that the head of state could not act independently, and that he would be deformed when he came and went. Then it can be imagined that Wen Baoyu entered the study and saw the head of state sitting behind the desk. He was naturally very strange. , sat down at the desk, and had some conversations with the Führer, and suddenly the Führer began to change shape—for example, half of his body suddenly went there, and half of him remained in the study. Of course, this situation was extremely weird. Think about it, what would Little Treasure do in this situation?" Even Shui Hong, who was not very familiar with Wen Baoyu, knew how to answer this question. This extremely weird phenomenon can make ordinary people go crazy, like the head of the guard who can't bear it and commits suicide.But Wen Baoyu was fearless, seeing this situation, he would undoubtedly rush to grab the half of his body that was still in the study. In this case, he may be taken to that place by the head of state, and he has no chance to tell Lansi about it. So far, this is all hypothetical, of course.But this hypothesis can constitute a painting, so that people can guess what happened at that time.
