stay taro

Jiang Yu was wearing a white coat and black trousers, standing at the gate of Zhou's house hung with white silk and carrying white lanterns, holding in his arms the pot of hexagonal scarlet that was still in full bloom but looked a bit sleepy—this potted flower When he remembered it, he had already stayed in his yard for a long time. Fortunately, Shi Qi'an and Wen Zhengyue were taking care of it. Otherwise, a delicate flower like it would have been ignored by Jiang Yu.

The little flower demon stood on her physical flower heart, hugging her sleeves and crying non-stop - most of it was because Mr. Zhou, the owner who took care of it for so many years, passed away, and the other half was because Jiang Yu left it aside and ignored it. long time.

"Don't cry." Jiang Yu felt very regretful, if he had known earlier, he wouldn't have taken Hua Yao classmate out.

"My master is dead and I can't cry... woo woo... who threw me in the corner for so many days... I stayed at the master's house well... woo woo... the master is dead... Woooo..." The little flower demon kept crying, her words full of resentment.

"No one can escape life, old age, sickness and death. Mr. Zhou is at this age, and he has enjoyed what he should enjoy. Isn't it a matter of time." Jiang Yu felt irritable when he heard its cry—of course, it was only him Only one person can hear it.

Here, when Zhang Qin came out of the mourning hall, he saw Jiang Yu standing alone at the door like a bamboo pole, chanting something, and the whole person was enveloped in a cloud of gloom——

"Ginger taro."

Hearing the voice, Jiang Yu turned around and saw Zhang Qin, who was dressed in a black suit and looked taller and taller, walking towards him, pinched the young leaves of the little flower demon, and signaled him to take it easy, before walking over, "You are out."

"I have a lot of things these days, so I didn't contact you in time." Zhang Qin explained why Zhou Lao didn't inform Jiang Yu in time, "It's a bit messy here, but you don't have to come here specially."

"I just want to end this case, and I also want to make some compensation." Jiang Yu is the first time to be so irresponsible to the case. In the days before, Liang Ding disappeared at the beginning, and later he was found. But when he became like that, he just thought about how to save him, and the days passed like this day by day—unexpectedly, he forgot.

Zhang Qin didn't care, and smiled, "Jiang Yu, in fact, no one in Mr. Zhou's family knew about the Ye Mingzhu, and only Lao Wang knew about it, and Lao Wang didn't ask Mr. Zhou , will not disclose the matter of Mr. Zhou to anyone. Therefore, you can completely treat it as if it never happened." Zhang Qin's words are true, but the person listening is Jiang Yu——

"I'm not an irresponsible person. I also like to do things from the beginning to the end. Since I'm taking over this case, I will finish it. As for the result, I will report it even if I go to Mr. Zhou's grave."

Zhang Qin stared at Jiang Yu for a while, then slowly said, "Jiang Yu, you are really a stubborn person."

Jiang Yu just said lightly, "I don't have many advantages." As it happens, 'stubbornness' is barely considered an advantage.

Zhang Qin now finds Jiang Yu more and more interesting-"Okay, since you have already spoken, then this matter is settled like this. You can ask me if you need anything." Zhang Qin was not being polite, he thought I know what ginger taro can do.

"I want to offer incense to Mr. Zhou first."

"it is good."

Zhang Qin took Jiang Yu in, and saw the busy Lao Wang at the gate of the mourning hall. Lao Wang was dressed in plain white, and he was tidy, but looking at his red and swollen eyes, he knew that Zhou Lao's death meant a lot to him. It's a blow - no matter what, he is also a loyal servant who has followed Mr. Zhou all his life, and he is also a confidant in another sense.Lao Wang was a little surprised when he saw Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu nodded to him, thought for a while and handed the hexagonal scarlet to him, and then followed Zhang Qin into the mourning hall.

There were quite a few people coming and going in the mourning hall. Although Mr. Zhou was in seclusion at the end of his life, there must have been quite a few people who had been friends with people like him who had experienced great storms in Song Dynasty.Zhang Qin brought Jiang Yu to Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou who had rushed back from abroad——

"This is Jiang Yu, who had some contacts with Mr. Zhou. He knew the news of Mr. Zhou's death, so he came here to pay a visit." Zhang Qin explained.

Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou are also very haggard. Both the husband and wife work abroad and have not returned home for many years. This time they rushed back because the old father was gone. Mr. Zhou is such an only son, and the relationship between father and son is still good.Mr. Zhou was heartbroken, and regretted that he didn't come back early to take care of his father, but it was too late to say anything now—and Mrs. Zhou was a Chinese-English mixed race. Although her relationship with Mr. Zhou was not very deep, she was her father-in-law. Seeing my husband in so much pain made me feel very uncomfortable, and I was even more exhausted after days of preparations for the funeral.So now the husband and wife feel the pain in Jiang Yu's eyes is self-evident.

"Thank you for coming here to see father off for the last time." Although Mr. Zhou had some doubts about his father's relationship with such a young child, he was really interested in coming here like this, so he was very grateful.

"Please grief."

Jiang Yu bowed to them, then took the stick of incense and walked to Mr. Zhou's coffin, and bowed solemnly three times to his portrait and urn.He looked at the spirit body sitting in front of his urn, and said softly, "Please rest assured, although it is a bit late, I will definitely fulfill the promise I made, I hope you can forgive me, and I hope you can trust me. So please rest assured Let's leave now, go to the place where we should go, and forget all the troubles of the world."

The spirit body looked at Jiang Yu for a while, then smiled at him, then slowly got up, and floated in the direction of the outside——Jiang Yu took advantage of the opportunity of burning incense to back away, and turned to watch the spirit body drift away Then I saw an unexpected 'person'... There was some disbelief in Jiang Yu's eyes, and then a relieved smile appeared on the corners of his mouth, "It's him...he's just making the best use of it..."

Others may not have noticed the strangeness of Jiang Yu, but Zhang Qin, who has been observing Jiang Yu, has seen it—he had a strange feeling, walked over and patted Jiang Yu on the shoulder——

"Look at what?"

"It's nothing." Jiang Yu looked away, serious, "Then I'll take my leave first."

Zhang Qin is very sure that Jiang Yu is "something", and he thought that Jiang Yu has that kind of supernatural ability. He was muttering something just now, and he was looking in a certain direction... Could it be... Rao is someone like Zhang Qin , When I think of a certain scene, I still feel chills.

Jiang Yu and Zhang Qin walked out of the mourning hall one after the other, but were stopped by Lao Wang at the door——

"Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Yu is still not used to being called "Mr. Jiang"—"Just call me Jiang Yu."

"Well, Jiangyu." Lao Wang's voice is the dry voice common to the elderly, "Thank you for coming here today." Lao Wang knows that although the old master entrusted him with the matter before, but now the old master Let's go, the old master also told me not to tell anyone else about the treasure, including his son and wife, so Jiang Yu can automatically cancel this task as if it's nothing, and now Jiang Yu has come here on purpose , Pharaoh feels grateful no matter what he thinks.

"Don't be so grateful to me," Jiang Yu said, "Actually, I still feel ashamed of you Mr. Zhou. I broke the contract and didn't complete the task in time, so he can't feel at ease even if he leaves." They are all waiting here. , indicating that the wish is unfulfilled, and after seeing himself appearing, he should be comforted.

Old Wang shook his head, "Actually, the old master didn't have much expectations after the thing disappeared. He was just a little unwilling. To be honest, I'm not afraid of your anger. Even if I entrust you with this case, the old master still doesn't trust you."

"I know." Jiang Yu just smiled, "Don't worry, although Mr. Zhou is gone, since I took over this case, I didn't just talk about it that day. I will try my best to give your old master an answer as soon as possible."

"Really?" Lao Wang had the first smile these days, and he said, "Although the old master is gone, I don't have to pay you such a high fee, but I still have some savings, I... "

"No need." Jiang Yu waved his hand, "I am ashamed of this matter, and it is rare for me to do a good thing for free, this time I will not be paid."

"But……"

"Old man, I don't know what the result will be. You don't have to do this." Jiang Yu looked at the six-cornered scarlet in his arms, "Then I'll go first, and I'll see you next time."

"Wait!" Lao Wang thought of something and stopped Jiang Yu——

"what happened?"

Lao Wang stepped forward and handed the hexagonal scarlet to Jiang Yu, "If you don't mind, I'll be the master too, and I'll give you the hexagonal scarlet."

"Give it to me?" Jiang Yu remembered that when he borrowed this flower from Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou was still reluctant to give it up. Now...

"This was originally the old master's favorite potted flower." Old Wang sighed, "But now this house is going to disappear, so keeping this flower is just a waste."

"What's wrong with the house?" This house is so beautiful, why is it going to disappear.

"Mr. Zhou and his wife live abroad, and they don't plan to come back. It's a waste to leave the house empty, including the property of the Zhou family in China. It will definitely be disposed of before they go back. I don't know what will happen then. Well." Old Wang said, "This flower is also destined for you. Since you borrowed this flower that day, and you also like it, if I give it to you, I believe that the old master will not have any objections."

Jiang Yu took the flowers and looked at Lao Wang, "If this house is gone, then you..."

"Of course I have somewhere else to go."

"Old Wang, I remember that your family is gone, where can you go?" Zhang Qin who was next to Jiang Yu asked, "If you want, I think I can still arrange for you."

"No need." Lao Wang shook his head, "I know Mr. Zhang, you are kind, thank you. I have already talked to Mr. Zhou, and Mr. Zhou said that he will help me arrange it. Gravekeeper."

Jiang Yu saw the slight smile on the corner of Lao Wang's mouth, and he didn't know whether he was happy for him or felt sad for a moment—this Lao Wang was devoted to his old master. Now that the old master is gone, he still misses him for the rest of his life. To be with his dry bones.

Zhang Qin sighed and didn't force it, "If you decide, then it's up to you."

Jiang Yu looked at Lao Wang and said solemnly, "Don't worry, I will take good care of this Hexagonal Scarlet." Jiang Yu's fair fingers stroked the petals of the Hexagonal Scarlet - there, the little flower demon lay on the flower and cried It's got to be pumped.

Everyone will have their own persistence in their life.
