Living Paper

nostalgia/article

Huo Zhenye went downstairs to have breakfast. He picked up the coffee in one hand and opened the newspaper with the other. The headline on the front page today reads "You can't escape the hot tricks of the flowers, the beauty of the flower country competes for youth again".

Several American Americans volunteered to raise money for the two murdered sisters in plain clothes, saying they would send the money raised to their families.

Then another report praised these beauties as contemporary red-haired girls, and the votes of these beauties will definitely increase again next time.

Huo Zhenye put down his coffee cup, picked up the newspaper and looked through it. Although Liu Er hadn't gone to court yet, he was already the murderer in two cases in the newspaper.

And Liu Da, who was originally written by reporters as a bastard who was obsessed with beauty and abandoned his fiancée, and murdered because of love, now that the wind has changed, he has become the scapegoat for his younger brother, and tabloid reporters praised him for his love and righteousness.

What's more, I went to the small courtyard of the Han family last night and saw that Han Zhu was still taking care of the seriously injured fiancé, and expressed great emotion, hoping that this virtuous couple can live a happy life from now on.

Huo Zhenye threw away the newspaper, finished his buttered toast in twos and went out.

The big head stood upright in his uniform, waiting for Huo Zhenye at the door of the arresting room, and rushed up as soon as he saw him: "Mr. Huo! I have arranged everything you ordered."

He arranged for Han Zhu to meet Liu Er before he was escorted to the main arresting room.

Liu Er was escorted to the chief arresting room in the afternoon, and then he was scheduled to go to court. He killed two people and gouged out their eyes. Such a sensational case would basically be shot.

On this side today, the two of them bid farewell forever.

"Mr. Huo, the chief arrester said he wanted to reward me. I'm all in your favor."

The more the big head talked, the happier he became, but seeing that Huo Zhenye's face was not showing any joy, he stopped talking again.

I thought that Huo Zhenye was unhappy because his credit was robbed: "Mr. Huo, do you want to be a consultant to the chief arresting house? You have handled such a big case, the chief arresting house will definitely be willing."

Huo Zhenye smiled and patted Datou's shoulder: "Let's talk about it."

Now the big head doesn't understand even more, Mr. Huo has clearly solved a big case, why doesn't he look very happy?

Liu Er was facing the wall, and when he heard someone coming in, he neither turned his head nor moved.

Han Zhu gave a handful of money to the prison guard. She went into the low room, squatted on the ground, opened the food box, and took out a few vegetable bowls and a jar of rice wine.

Liu Erguang heard the footsteps and knew that the senior sister was coming. His body trembled slightly and he didn't dare to turn his head.

There was no table in the cell, so Han Zhu put the dishes on the straw mat. She took out two pairs of chopsticks and a pair of empty bowls, and called him as usual: "Xiao Liu, it's time to eat."

There were tears in Liu Er's eyes, he lowered his head and wiped it, gritted his teeth and turned his head, looking at Han Zhu with red eyes: "Senior Sister..."

"Hurry up and eat, the food is getting cold."

Buckwheat chicken, red stewed heavenly meat, fried small crispy fish, fried cabbage with thousands of sheets.

They are all his favorite food, and he would beg Han Zhu to cook them every festival. In the end, Han Zhu brought out a bowl of rotten noodles, gnocchi and vegetable meat: "Eat it, isn't this your favorite food?"

Liu Er picked up the bowl, and tears fell into the noodle bowl. Afraid that Han Zhu would see it, he poured it into his mouth, and drank half of the bowl in one go.

Han Zhu sat across from him and looked at him. Seeing that he was eating in a hurry, he poured him a glass of rice wine: "Eat slowly, no one will grab you."

With noodle soup in his mouth, Liu Er choked up tears and said, "Senior Sister, I didn't think of this."

"I know, Xiao Liu wants our family to be together forever." He was only three or four years old when he entered the teacher's school. If it wasn't for Liu Da's refusal to lose his younger brother in the disaster year, he would have starved to death long ago, and so did Liu Er's repayment. should.

"Senior sister, I'm sorry for you."

Han Zhu picked up the chopsticks and held a piece of fried fish for him, still calm and angry: "You didn't apologize to me, sorry to me, it was him."

Liu Er gritted his teeth and held back his tears: "I can't kowtow to Master anymore, my senior sister will tell Master for me, and I will go down to serve him in a few days."

Han Zhu's face remained unchanged, and his eyes were red when he heard this sentence, and he continued to carry vegetables for Liu Er, filling the bowl to the brim.

The two of them didn't say a word, this meal was a farewell, and Liu Er didn't expect Han Zhu to forgive his brother anymore, seeing that she was leaving, he called her in a low voice: "Senior Sister."

"Tell me the truth." Eldest brother is going to leave Shanghai with Jin Dangui, how could he kill her? After much deliberation, only senior sister would do it.

Han Zhu poured himself a glass of wine, gave it to him, and drank it down.

The porcelain cup slammed backwards on the ground with a "snap": "It's me."

Liu Er stared at her in a daze, his lips trembling, looked at her hands, and couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes: "It's really you..."

Han Zhu smiled: "I just didn't expect that Mr. Huo would be a conscientious person."

If it wasn't for Huo Zhenye's refusal to identify Liu Da as a murderer, so as to clear his own suspicion, Liu Da would have been imprisoned for the crime, waiting to be shot.

She wanted him to wait until his death, and seeing her approaching death day by day, she would always remember Jin Dangui's eyes being gouged out in her mind.

Liu Erquan understood: "How will Senior Sister deal with him?"

"Abandoning the teacher's school, how should I deal with it according to the school's rules?"

Liu Er was speechless, he stopped talking, ate all the dishes, got up after Yi Gu Lu, knelt down to Han Zhu, and kowtowed to her three times: "Senior sister has been washing, cooking, weaving and weaving for more than ten years. Xiao Liu cannot repay the kindness of shoe mending in this life, and will repay it in the next life."

Han Zhu finally couldn't help it, tears slid down his cheeks.

The car that took Liu Er to the chief arresting house arrived on time, Huo Zhenye watched Liu Er get into the car, his heart felt stuffy, and he felt uncomfortable everywhere.

Chief Song arrested Huo Zhenye: "Why didn't you come to treat me yesterday? You are a great contributor to this case. How can I miss you Mr. Huo? Today I will be honored."

He held Huo Zhenye in his arms, and Huo Zhenye responded politely: "Mr. Song is joking, it's because Mr. Song and his brothers are clever and willing to work, otherwise they wouldn't have solved the case so quickly."

Chief arrester Song has always had business dealings with the Huo family. Although he is the chief arrester in the concession, he can't just make money from the concession: "I invited a reporter from "Shenbao" to interview, and the credit is still Mr. Huo's."

He knew that because of this incident, Huo Zhenye's marriage with the Tao family fell through. Now that Huo Zhenye has turned into a detective, the Tao family has all the face, and this marriage can still be discussed.

Huo Zhenye kept his smile away, and annoyed him to make up his own mind: "I don't know, Mr. Song is still doing this job of securing media."

Before the "Shenbao" reporter came to interview, the chief arresting office called. Liu Er ran away and injured the two policemen who escorted him.

The house was full of chickens and dogs, Huo Zhenye first thought of Bai Zhun, would Liu Er go to Bai's house?

He went out immediately, and happened to be stopped by a reporter from "Shenbao" when he walked to the door of the arresting room. Huo Zhenye glanced at the still angry Chief Detective Song, and misfortune was drawn: "It's not convenient now, the suspect just escaped and injured two police officers. "

The eyes of the two little reporters gleamed. They thought they were here to do bureaucratic articles just to brag about Mr. Huo, but they didn't expect that they would not care about Huo Zhenye when they encountered such a big news. run.

Huo Zhenye got out, drove to Yuqingli, trotted all the way and knocked on the door of Bai's house.

Bai Zhun was fiddling with the phonograph. Huo Zhenye's hand could play music, but in his hand it would only make "thud, thump, thump" noises.

Seeing that he was fine, Huo Zhenye breathed a sigh of relief: "Liu Er has escaped."

Bai Zhun flicked the stylus: "You do it." Looking up, he saw that his back and armpits were wet with sweat, his brows were slightly raised, and his eyes were smiling, "Why, he still dares to come to my door to make trouble?"

That's what Huo Zhenye was worried about. Bai Zhun, with his meager soldiers, can deal with ghosts, but how can he deal with people?A general made of paper, even if it is Yue Fei, can punch two holes with one fist.

How dare you look down on his paper figurine?

As soon as the corners of Bai Zhun's mouth raised, Huo Zhenye quickly turned off the flame: "Do you want to eat ice cream? I'll buy another one at Lao Dachang, or simply buy a refrigerator. I can buy some orange soda or plum soda. When do you want to eat it? You can eat it."

Before Bai Zhun could agree, he ran out to buy something.

Just as Huo Zhenye left, Bai Zhunzhu's wheelchair rolled, "Take it down."

"Mu Guiying" held Liu Er's throat with a silver gun, and pushed him down from the attic. Liu Er couldn't move his neck, and begged Bai Zhun, "Qi Ye, please let me kowtow to my master." go again."

"I beg Seventh Master to grant me." Liu Er knelt in front of Bai Zhun and begged on the ground, "I'm definitely not trying to steal a life. As long as my wish is fulfilled, I will go back to the arresting room and do whatever I want."

"If I break my oath, I'll be struck by lightning from the sky and kill Wuquan!"

Sitting in a wheelchair, Bai Zhun looked down at Liu Er: "It's not true."

Liu Er smiled sadly, and said all: "I want to ask my brother face to face, whether he has a good heart or not!"

Brothers, wives, and the kindness of a teacher are not worth the beauty's wealth.

This sentence is in line with Bai Zhun's intention: "Okay, I agree with you, you know what will happen if you lie to me."

Liu Er's heart trembled: "Yes."

Axiu brought a yellow paper brush, and Bai Zhun moved his fingertips slightly to draw a human face on the yellow paper. He could give Axiu a beautiful face, and of course he could change Liu Er's face.

Bamboo bones pierce the outline of the face, and the human face painted on yellow paper is pasted on it to make a mask.

"This thing is only useful for one day. After one day, paper will still be paper, and bamboo will still be bamboo."

Liu Er only knew that Bai Zhun was the master of the seven sects, and that Bai Zhun could manipulate paper figurines, but even his master never mentioned this miraculous skill, so he respectfully gave Bai Zhun a big gift.

Bai Zhun lit the incense and cast a spell, embedded a yellow talisman on the inside of the mask, just now it was made of bamboo paper, but it softened in an instant, and hung in Bai Zhun's hand.

If Liu Er hadn't seen Bai Zhun draw a human face on the yellow paper with his own eyes, he would have thought it was a human skin.

"Stick your head over here."

Liu Er was afraid in his heart, but when he closed his eyes, he only felt that his face was covered with paste, and with a "pa", the piece of paper stuck to his face.

"pant."

Liu Er heard the words and realized that he had been holding his breath. He took a breath, and the paper stuck to his face like a living thing, and it stuck together with every breath.

He could see and move, and just wanted to reach out and touch it.

Bai Zhun hit the back of his hand with a thin bamboo: "Don't break it."

Liu Er nodded slightly, and kowtowed to Bai Zhun again. He walked out of Bai's house with his head down, afraid of being recognized by others. When he passed the tailor's shop, he stopped and secretly looked at himself from the glass cabinet.

A completely unfamiliar face was reflected in the glass, he opened his mouth slightly, and immediately remembered Bai Zhun's words "don't break it", and closed his mouth tightly.

Huo Zhenye ordered the workers to bring in the refrigerator. When passing by the long alley, he passed a young man standing in front of a tailor's shop. Huo Zhenye stopped, doubts flashing in his heart.

The young man seemed to sense his gaze and looked back at him.

Huo Zhenye turned his head and continued forward. Although the posture of that person was familiar, his face was unfamiliar. He had never seen this person before.

With a new face on his face, Liu Er hurried out of the city.

The author has something to say: Bai: You know nothing about my abilities
