Zhang Ke was still in shock when he got home, so he took off the blood-stained T-shirt and shorts, and stuffed them into the washing machine. The old-fashioned Little Swan double-tub washing machine turned, making a clicking sound.

Although I don't know what happened, there is no doubt that I am in the real world. In terms of time, I went back to fourteen years ago, that is, the summer of 1994.

Zhang Ke remembered that he was only sixteen years old at the time.

Zhang Ke curled up on the sofa, and his memory of being sixteen was a little fuzzy. He thought that before he had a high fever, he should have gotten the grades in the senior high school entrance examination, and his grades were not bad. He ranked third in the Xicheng District high school entrance examination in 1994. On the day when the high school entrance examination results came out, the provincial inspection team was rushing to investigate Tang Xueqian's problems, so the family could hardly feel the joy brought by the high school entrance examination results.

Zhang Ke's heart was in a mess, and he didn't know what expression to use to face what was about to happen.

It was getting dark, and my parents didn't come back.

The symptoms of high fever have all subsided, but he is so hungry that he has no idea of ​​eating. Zhang Ke raised his head and glanced at the quartz clock hanging on the opposite wall. It was almost time for the evening news. Water ad. By 2008, Lux had been lost, and many people had even forgotten the brand, but in Zhang Ke’s memory, besides Zhang Manyu’s version, there were also Carina Lau, Zhong Chuhong, Maggie, and Li Ruotong’s advertisements for Lux shampoo. Zhang Ke likes the MAGGIE version of Lux Shampoo ad the most. In the ad, MAGGIE is extremely charming, like an orchid, showing a blend of Eastern and Western temperament. Even women can’t help being attracted. It is said that after this ad was broadcast, Lux’s The sales volume surged by 3 times. Many women in the supermarket were very happy holding the Luxes packaged with MAGGIE pictures, as if they could be as beautiful as her if they used her. Of course, this is a very good wish.

Zhang Ke tapped his temples with his fingers, remembering that Chen Ning switched to Lux Shampoo after seeing the advertisement of MAGGIE. Thinking of Chen Ning, Zhang Ke felt a tingle in his heart, thinking that at this time, Chen Ning had no memory of himself, and it would not be possible to meet him in another city until four years later.

Now, the memories with Chen Ning should belong to the past that hasn't happened yet.

Zhang Ke's lips curled up slightly, but he didn't smile, and his thinking couldn't be corrected for a while.

When Zhang Ke was recalling the past events that had not yet happened, the Haizhou Evening News started. The content was some meetings and inspections that did not leave Zhang Ke with little impression; things like the Bell Tower Square incident and the provincial inspection team investigating Tang Xueqian, It was not mentioned in the evening news at all, Zhang Ke didn't care about it, he just wanted to see how the car accident on North Street was reported in the social news.

...At about 4:15 p.m., a serious traffic accident occurred on the east side of the Daijiaqiao bus station on Beijie Road, Xicheng District. Four people were killed and three others were injured, two of whom were seriously injured. At Daijiaqiao Station on North Street in the urban area, when a muck truck with the license plate Hai A48854 turned from Dongsheng Road to Beijie Road, it suddenly lost control and rushed to the sidewalk on the sidewalk, breaking a poplar tree on the side of the road. Knocked down four men who were playing cards under the shade of trees on the sidewalk, and a young man who was watching was also knocked down by the muck truck; according to passers-by, the young man’s daughter also fell right in front of the muck truck According to the memories of passers-by, the muck truck almost clung to the rescuer's body and turned off the sidewalk, colliding with a Jetta car driving from east to west along Beijie Road. It has been confirmed that the driver of the muck truck was driving under the influence of alcohol. He entered the urban area from Beiguan and kept speeding. He has been detained by the police in accordance with the law...

From Beiguan into the city to Beijie, you have to pass through several important intersections.

The driver was driving under the influence of alcohol and speeding. Normally, he would be stopped by the traffic police, but on this day, because nearly 100 employees of the Xinguang Paper Mill made trouble in the Bell Tower Square, most of the traffic police in Xicheng District were dispatched to maintain order. It must have been a factor in the accident.

The screen shows the tragic scene after the car accident: the broken poplar tree, the Jetta car whose roof was almost torn off, the dismembered small square table, the playing cards all over the place, and the frozen blood... The car accident I saw in the news was the same except that the little girl escaped from under the wheel.

There was no photo of the little girl in the news. Zhang Ke recalled the little girl's delicate face, and thought that if such a beautiful little girl died in a car accident, it would be a pity.

The world does not simply repeat, a car accident happened, but the little girl escaped from under the wheel. Thinking of this, Zhang Ke felt a little better. Since he could save the little girl from under the wheel, he could also reverse the fate of the whole family.

The more Zhang Ke thought about it, the more excited he was. He returned to his sixteen-year-old body, but his mind had an experience that no one else had experienced. He also knew the truth about the Tang Xueqian case that most people don’t know now. It was the Tang Xueqian case that changed him. The future fate of the family.

As a result, the impact of the car accident weakened a lot. Zhang Ke felt so hungry that he had no strength to think about more complicated things. There was no ready-made food in the kitchen, so he boiled a pot of water and waited for the water to boil. bag of noodles.

Zhang Ke filled the noodles with a bowl, and when he sat back on the sofa in the living room and was about to fill his stomach, his parents opened the door and came in.

Liang Gezhen saw her son Zhang Ke sitting on the sofa holding a bowl of noodles, forgetting the troubles outside for a while, and asked happily: Fever is gone?

Facing his father and mother who were more than ten years younger again, Zhang Ke felt a little awkward in his heart. While swallowing noodles, Zhang Ke replied vaguely: Okay, I'm hungry.

It's good if you know you're hungry... Zhang Zhixing said a word, and threw the briefcase on the sofa. He still couldn't do anything between his brows. Full of despair.

How about Uncle Tang? Zhang Ke asked tentatively.

Oh... Zhang Zhixing just responded without saying a word, nor did he turn his head to take a look.

Zhang Ke knew that in his father's eyes, he was still that sixteen-year-old ignorant boy, and he was not yet the object of discussion. Zhang Ke put the bowl on the glass table, stood up and said, I don't know what time you will come back, and I didn't serve you noodles, so I will give you noodles...

Let me do it... Liang Gezhen rubbed her hands and went to the kitchen.

Zhang Ke pressed his mother's shoulders and asked her to sit on the sofa: It's not difficult to order noodles.

Sprinkle chopped scallions on the noodles, and specially fried poached eggs on the noodles, and came out with two bowls of noodles. Zhang Ke found that his parents had hardly moved on the sofa, worrying about Tang Xueqian.

Seeing his son Zhang Ke bring out noodles, Zhang Zhixing took a bowl, endured the heat, ate it whole, pushed the bowl away, leaned back, closed his eyes and thought about the problem, but his mind was a mess, a little clue Nothing, can't think of anything. I brought a chess box from the study, put it on the glass table in the living room, and brought a chess record to prepare for playing chess. Whenever his thinking went into a blind spot, Zhang Zhixing was used to finding someone to play a game of chess and change his mind. In this situation, no one would come to his door and play the chess record, which could still calm his mind.

Zhang Ke has learned Go since he was a child, until he was in the fifth grade of elementary school. His mother, Liang Gezhen, prevented him from continuing to learn, saying that learning Go delayed his studies, and also said that learning Go was boring. However, after the great changes in his family, Zhang Ke picked up Go again when he was in high school, and his current level is quite good.

Zhang Ke helped unfold the folded chessboard, and seeing his father drop a dozen black and white pieces, he knew that his father was playing a famous game played by Xu Bongzhu in 1983. Zhang Ke is very familiar with the chess record in his father's hand. When he picked up Go again after he went to high school, he learned this game record. After Dad placed a black stone, Zhang Ke responded with a white stone.

Zhang Zhixing raised his head and glanced at his son Zhang Ke, then looked at the chess record, did not speak, and landed another black stone. Seeing that his son answered the move accurately, he asked suspiciously: Have you played this game before?

Well, Xu Fengzhu's game of chess, I remember something...

It's not that your mother won't let you play Go...

Let's steal it...

Oh, Zhang Zhixing didn't doubt it. After all, his son didn't stop learning chess until the fifth grade. He picked up all the pieces on the chessboard and put them back into the chess box. Since you didn't throw them away, play a game with me...

Liang Gezhen didn't stop her, she packed up the dishes and washed them in the kitchen.

In another world, Zhang Ke even had the idea of ​​becoming a Go teacher after graduating from university; but after his father went to work in the city government, he had little time to play Go, and his father's chess skills were so good after he was dismissed from public office , but in the world right now, none of those things are happening yet.

Zhang Ke knew that his level of Go was a bit higher than that of his father at this time. After a game of chess, no matter the opening, middle game or ending, Zhang Ke's advantage was quite obvious. Zhang Ke licked his lips and glanced at his father: Do you want to nod?

You kid... Zhang Zhixing stretched out his hand and patted the back of Zhang Ke's head. He was surprised by his chess skills, but he laughed, When did the level become so high that you can play with Xu Hongbo?

Although Xu Hongbo is only an amateur five-dan, he is known as the Godfather of Go in Haizhou City. He founded the Haizhou Chess Academy. After his father was dismissed from public office, he also learned Go from Xu Hongbo again. His.

Zhang Ke smiled: Do you want to let you three sons?

Give up two sons first, and Xu Hongbo will only let me two...

The passage of time was almost imperceptible, and the quartz clock had just struck eleven when the second game ended.

It's so late... Zhang Zhixing looked at the window, I still lose half an eye to you, and your level is no worse than that of the chess players in Haizhou Chess Academy. Don't worry about your future prospects. If you really can't, you can become a professional chess player. , professional chess players are all trained from a young age...

Zhang Ke also looked out the window. The street lights outside the window were dim, and the black shadows of the treetops were reflected on the glass. Dad said this, probably because he was worried that this incident would have a bad impact on his future life.

Zhang Ke has never been clear about his father's thoughts in the incident in 1994. He was still young at that time, and it was many years later that he gradually understood the truth of the Tang Xueqian case.

Of course, since he can do it all over again, Zhang Ke doesn't want to be a professional chess player: Uncle Tang is also good at chess. Last time the city government organized a competition with the Chess Academy, I heard that Uncle Tang also won the chess academy. Chess player...

Tang Xueqian is still the deputy mayor and the honorary president of the Haizhou Chess Academy. His level is not as good as mine, but he likes to play Go... Zhang Zhixing sighed, I'm afraid he doesn't have the heart to play chess now. It's...

Zhang Ke was thinking about how to bring the topic to Tang Xueqian's case; he probably told his father directly that he had experienced the next fourteen years, and that the truth about Tang Xueqian's case would come to light in about five years, and his father would probably not accept such a fact , Maybe even send yourself to a mental hospital.

I heard Secretary Ye say that Uncle Tang asked you to go out to avoid it, why did you go out to avoid it? Zhang Ke asked pretending to be confused.

Oh, you weren't sleeping then?

I heard a sentence or two in a daze, Zhang Ke said, I didn't open my eyes to see someone, but I heard the voice of Secretary Ye...

Nothing happened, you don't have to worry... Zhang Zhixing patted his son's head with a heavy heart, sighed, but then asked, Zhang Ke, what do you think of Uncle Tang?

Why aren't you sleeping? Liang Gezhen came out of the bedroom and came over to clean up the chessboard. You don't know what kind of person Tang Xueqian is, but you have to ask your son? You don't understand organizational procedures, right? The provincial inspection team isolated Tang Xueqian for inspection, It is impossible that there is no substantive evidence, and now it is just to collect more criminal evidence. It has been spread outside, is the personnel manager of Xinfeng Group called Xu Si, she is Tang Xueqian's woman outside, Jiang Mingcheng used this goblin to give Tang Xueqian stuffed money. That goblin was able to work in Xinfeng Group before, and it was Tang Xueqian who greeted him... These stories are rumored with nose and eyes, do you think it is really groundless?

Jiang Mingcheng is the general manager of Xinfeng Group. The Xu Si he and his mother mentioned are the key figures in the case of Tang Xueqian. Before the case of Tang Xueqian, Xu Si was the deputy manager of the personnel department of Xinfeng Group. The two are fighting over the woman. In 1994, Xu Si confessed to the provincial inspection team that Tang Xueqian was imprisoned by accepting bribes from Jiang Mingcheng. After one year in prison, it was reported that she committed suicide in prison. Zhang Ke also saw Xu Si for the first time during the trial of the Ding Xiangshan case in 1999. At that time, Xu Si had been detained in the detention center for several months. What remained in Zhang Ke's memory was the haggard face. With a ruined beauty.
