Thousand Lantern Night

Not long after, the helicopter came over.Under Fengying's arrangement, we were criticized and taken us out of the mountains.During the period, the pilot mentioned to Xiaohua that they searched this area several times before, but they couldn't contact us.Looking at the mountains and forests of Chishui Town from above, there was nothing unusual, and there was no heavy rain.

After leaving Chishui Town, in order to avoid so many people attracting attention in this closed mountainous area and causing unnecessary troubles, the group divided into several groups and returned to Beijing from different directions.Zhang Yinzhen led the team to leave first, and they seemed to be in a hurry to leave.

Zhang Qiling didn't go with us, he insisted on staying and continuing to look for Wu Xie, and Xiaohua had no objection to this.Just let him find a way to contact Beijing if he has news about Wu Xie.The two parties agreed to go to Changbai Mountain two weeks later, and Xiaohua promised to use reliable channels to quote Zhang Qiling immediately after returning to Beijing, hoping to find Wu Xie as soon as possible.

Back in Beijing, Xiuxiu brought someone to pick her up.Xiuxiu didn't know the story after parting from Beijing last time, so she greeted me and called me "Brother Wu Xie" as usual, and I was stunned for a while.One arm was dragged by Xiuxiu, and she couldn't break free or touch her, and her whole body froze.

It was Xiaohua who came over to smooth things over, and said to Xiuxiu: "Your brother Wu Xie looks so dirty and uncomfortable, so don't make things difficult for him. I'm not here, everything is fine in Beijing?"

Xiaohua, this is simply an unnecessary question.With his personality of a control freak, he knows the situation in Beijing best, even if he is not around, he also knows it well.

Xiuxiu and Xiaohua became more restrained in front of them, and they let go of Wu Xie and answered politely: "Everything is fine. There is no movement at the Crescent Hotel, and Liu Lisun is still lying in the hospital and cannot get out. His two sons have recruited some People and horses are coming, but they haven’t done anything yet. Besides—my two elder brothers just arrived in Beijing yesterday. So far, they haven’t met me face-to-face.”

Xiaohua nodded when she heard the words, she didn't seem surprised.After Huo Xiangu's death, the Huo family was in chaos for a while. At the old Huo's house in Changsha, the two young masters Huo Xiuxiu forced the palace to take power, and Xiao Hua helped deal with it.Xiao Hua just said: "Let's just wait and see. Since the Crescent Hotel photographed the ghost seal, there has been no movement, which is a bit abnormal. So far, no one knows who is the real person on the front of the Crescent Hotel. Can't find out?"

Xiuxiu shook her head.

Xiaohua said: "Let's go back first. Your elder brother Wu Xie is tired, let him rest." She glanced at me, turned around and walked to the waiting point first.

Although I wear Wu Xie's hat, I can't take advantage of Xiuxiu.Even if it was Wu Xie himself, he didn't have that kind of meaning for this girl.Hurry up and follow Xiao Hua.

Xiuxiu followed behind us.As he walked, he suddenly said in a low voice: "Brother Xiaohua, you were like this when you were young. You didn't like others touching Brother Wu Xie. After so many years, it still hasn't changed."

Xiaohua stopped abruptly when she heard these words, and looked back at Xiuxiu with a cold expression on her face, without saying a word.Xiuxiu was not afraid, she stared straight at him, and I felt sparks crackling between the two of them.He said in his heart that Wu Xie is a blessing of several generations of cultivation, and it is really not a thing to flirt with men and women.

After a few seconds of silence, Xiao Hua calmly said, "Wu Xie is not in the same world as us. If you treat him well, don't drag him into it."

These words caused Xiuxiu's eyes to turn red all of a sudden.However, it was only a blink of an eye, immediately Xiuxiu regained her composure, said with a faint smile: "I was just joking." Then she urged me: "Let's go, Brother Wu Xie."

Fatty separated from us after we left the airport.He said to Xiaohua: "Although Fatty my land is not big, I still have to deal with it. If I can't come back, at least find someone to take over."

I think the fat man mentioned the problem of not coming back again and again, maybe because he was too anxious.On the contrary, I seem to be much indifferent to the matter of going to Changbai Mountain.My only doubt now may be to figure out who I am.After all, I always thought that I was another person, but later found out that I just used someone else's identity. This kind of thing is unacceptable to anyone.

Back at Xiao Hua's house, there was already a large table of delicious food waiting for us.Xiaohua and I went to take a shower separately, and then went downstairs to have dinner with Xiuxiu.When I went downstairs, Xiaohua hadn't come out of the bath yet, Xiuxiu was reading a book on the sofa, saw me going downstairs, and beckoned me over to have a chat.

I said to myself that Wu Xie usually pretends to be a good girl in front of girls, thinking whether to ruin his image, go up and directly pull off his shirt to show off two points, and establish a new image of Wu Xie as a nympho ?But when I saw Xiuxiu's smiling eyes, forget it, I'm a professionally trained substitute, how could I do such immoral things that both people and gods are angry with?

Xiuxiu said: "It seems that the broken marks on the ghost seal have been found. How is it going? Is the process going smoothly?"

I felt a little guilty, for fear that Xiuxiu would see the clue. Although Wu Xie and I looked like copies, we were not the same person after all.Only relying on part of Wu Xie's memory, will it show his feet in the eyes of familiar people? "Yes, it's all set up. Generally speaking, it's smoother than before."

Xiuxiu smiled and said, "That's good. I hope things will go well in the future."

Then the scene was silent.I don't know how he would adjust the atmosphere if Wu Xie was there, but for me, I suddenly felt that the older a person is, the less he talks.No matter how hard and difficult the experience is told to others, it will only get a few polite words of concern from the other party, which does not reach the bottom of my heart.So there is only one good word left to say.

Xiaohua went downstairs and saw the scene and didn't say anything. During the meal, he and Xiuxiu also talked about the layout of Changbai Mountain, the arrangement of personnel and equipment.All other topics were tacitly ignored.After the banquet was over, Xiuxiu left, and Xiaohua and I were the only ones left in the room.

I slipped into the room while Xiaohua was sending Xiuxiu out, pretending to be going to sleep.To be honest, it’s okay for a lot of people to be together in the wilderness, but when two people face each other, it’s hard for me not to think of this old-fashioned Master Hua, who also has some ambiguous meaning towards Wu Xie, although I have always held the same attitude towards Master Hua. I have sympathy, but my current status is really very embarrassing.It's not pitiful to have no way to control him at all, you can only take care of yourself so that you don't feel so embarrassed.

I originally thought that Xiaohua should have the same idea. After all, his little thoughts are not hidden. He expressed it to me and found out that he was wrong. He must be more embarrassed than me.It's like a pervert saw a beautiful woman with long legs, big breasts and hips in the elevator, and couldn't help but salivate and touched it, but the huge lower body of the beautiful woman was wearing a short skirt, and she coquettishly yelled, "Damn it! How are you!" This kind of shock is definitely enough to have a nightmare for a year.

However, I ignored the fact that Xiaohua is a big mess in the embarrassment, let alone a small confession, even having sex with you once, to him, it is as insignificant as smoking a cigarette.So he pushed open the door and came into my room, before I had time to pull the quilt over my face.

"Really asleep?" Xiao Hua sat down beside my bed, her face showing no signs of fatigue.

I sat back and hesitated, bit the bullet and answered casually. "Ah, very tired." In fact, I was also really tired, which I have never felt since I returned to Hangzhou.On the one hand, it is psychological, but the biggest problem is still in the body itself, as if it has been sunned a thousand times, and it is basically as if it is a gossamer.

Xiaohua nodded: "It's really difficult for you to continue to be Wu Xie's substitute. You could have refused."

I didn't expect Xiao Hua to tell me this, I was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled helplessly. "I can't help it. To help you, I can also quickly solve this puzzle with Zhang Qiling. After all, in many cases, it is much more efficient to act together. Zhang Qiling will not give up until Wu Xie's problem is solved."

Xiaohua looked at me with a little strange eyes. "From any point of view, you and Wu Xie are exactly the same from the outside to the inside. You are Wu Xie, and Wu Xie is you. If you have the opportunity, do you want to replace Wu Xie and live as him forever?"

It's not that I haven't thought about this question.But I don't seem to agree with this idea. Every time I think of living without myself, I feel very resistant.So as soon as I had this idea, I denied it myself.I shook my head: "I am the same as Wu Xie, because it is Wu Xie's memory that enriches my body. Without these memories, I don't know what I would be like. Maybe I am honest and kind, or maybe I am cruel It is very good to be Wu Xie. I have encountered so many dangerous and interesting things, and I have been missed and admired by so many people, which makes many people envious. But this is not me. Only then can I really feel that I have existed. This is an awakening, and it is a question of origin. So, I must know who I am."

Xiao Hua smiled: "You are exactly the same as Wu Xie in terms of persistence."

I tried my best to joke: "In the business of antiques, it is very common to make and sell fakes. Maybe I am a big boss behind the scenes who specially imitated Wu Xie to create a fake. Because the degree of imitation is too high to be fake, I fished in troubled waters in the market." , it’s not surprising.”

Xiao Hua looked a little weird when she heard this, and she looked at me for a while before she said: "You can still joke around, it seems that you are in good spirits." ——The antique business also knows that if it is a fake, in order to ensure the uniqueness of the original The value of harmony and non-duality, no matter how fake it is, must be destroyed.”

I smiled and said, "Fakes with a high degree of imitation are also valuable for collection. If there is collection value, there will be a market. You are still up so late, aren't you going to discuss the issue of fakes with me all night?"

Xiaohua also smiled: "Of course not. I came to you because I just returned to Beijing today and received an auction post from the Crescent Hotel. The auction item seems to be related to you, and it is a live unicorn."

As she said that, Xiao Hua handed me the auction post.As soon as he mentioned Qilin, I immediately thought of Xiaobai. When I opened the post and saw the photo posted inside, I was sure it was really Xiaobai!

The photo is not very clear, it can be seen that it was taken in a very dark environment.Xiaobai's tail is a bunch of flame-shaped hair, which shines in the dark environment, and it is the moist light green color of the soft light on the jade.

I hesitated and said, "How is this possible?" Xiaobai was lost when Zhang Qiling and I went to Xiwang Village to find Zamba. How did the New Moon Hotel catch it?

Xiao Hua asked, "Are you going?"

I nodded immediately: "Of course!"

Xiaohua pondered for a while, and said: "I feel that this auction is aimed at you. Go and take photos, but we must be careful in everything."
