Book House Strange Talk

Chapter 3: Snake Tunxiang

There was another heavy rain in front of me, just like the day of the holiday, the raindrops were dense and big, squinting my eyes, it seemed that it was not rain but thick fog.

strict prison age

But the place where Tai Yi and Dodo stood was not wet by the rain, as if they were standing in a protective cover, there seemed to be a glass wall in front of them separating him from the rain scene, and the rain did not fall on him at all body, and he was also blocked in front of the intersection, unable to take a step forward.

Tai Yi looked around, the surrounding scenery looked very old, and the shops on the street were not the familiar ones he saw every day when he went to school. He saw a little girl not far from him, wearing a flowery dress. Overalls, squatting under a tree to hide from the rain.

Tai Yi understood, squatted down and asked Dodo beside him: "Do you want to show me what happened back then?"

Dodo nodded, motioning Tai Yi to look forward carefully.Tai Yi picked her up and let Duo Duo sit in his arms. At this time, a car came across and a woman got off the driver's seat. Tai Yi squinted his slightly nearsighted eyes to see the woman's face clearly. , but it seems that there is a cloud of fog on the woman's face, and she can't see her face clearly, but this does not prevent Tai Yi from thinking that this will be a very beautiful woman-after all, not many people can still see her face in this kind of weather. Elegant walking with an umbrella.

The woman waved to "Duo Duo", and saw the little girl squatting under the tree happily standing up and running towards the car.

It seemed very warm, but Tai Yi frowned to express his dissatisfaction. The child didn't bring an umbrella in this weather, so he should have opened it in front of the child.

Just as "Duo Duo" was running towards the woman, Tai Yi felt that the little girl he was holding was grabbing his arm with increasing strength, Tai Yi looked at her, still expressionless.Tai Yi couldn't help but patted Duoduo lightly, as if to comfort her.

"Duo Duo" ran forward, but the car beside the woman suddenly ran into trouble, and rushed towards the running child. Hit up.Although he couldn't hear any sound, Tai Yi couldn't help closing his eyes. The car without a license plate ran over the child and backed up, injuring "Duo Duo" for the second time. Tai Yi opened his eyes. He could clearly see that her lower body was bloody and bloody, and her bright black eyes stared in Tai Yi's direction, like a lifeless doll.

The woman stood there expressionless, and waited until the child on the ground stopped struggling, then dropped her umbrella and ran over to kneel and sit beside Dodo, crying loudly. Calling on the phone, comforting a woman comforting her.

Tai Yi felt the trembling of the child in his arms, and hugged him even tighter.

"She's my mother."

When the immature voice sounded, Tai Yi was taken aback: "You can talk?"

"She is my mother, and it was my mother and my father who killed me together."

After reading the story, the scenery around me slowly changed and returned to the night.Tai Yi was originally full of sympathy, but when he saw Duoduo who had turned into a bloody mess again, he immediately withdrew his sympathy, carefully and quickly put Duoduo on the ground, and then ran back to Xing Yang.

Xing Yang took a puff of cigarette and asked him, "What did you see?"

"The truth about the accident that year." Tai Yi couldn't help shivering when he recalled the scene he saw just now, "It's disgusting anyway."

Xing Yang nodded, put out the cigarette, looked down at the child who was not even around his waist, and said, "Then what do you want Tai Yi to do?"

"Avenge me!" Dodo didn't hesitate.

Hearing this, Tai Yi was a little puzzled: "But... how can I help you? This is considered a criminal case, and after so many years, there is no surveillance."

Dodo said anxiously: "My father is Zhou Hao, and my mother is Wan Yali. If you help me in your way, only you can help me."

Xing Yang squinted his eyes and stared at Dodo for a while without saying a word, then gave Tai Yi a look to let him decide for himself, Tai Yi hesitated for a moment and nodded to Dodo, then looked at Xing Yang and asked him: " May I?"

Xing Yang shrugged: "It doesn't matter, you make the decision."

Tai Yi took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, it was already past twelve o'clock, Xing Yang thought about it and wanted him to go back to the study with him, Tai Yi agreed with both hands - it is still a bit embarrassing to let him go home by himself at this time of.

"What about Duo Duo?" Tai Yi asked.

Xing Yang smiled and said, "Be smarter, she's a ghost sleeping."

Tai Yi got into Xing Yang's car and followed him back to Yingyang Street. The car could only park in the empty parking space opposite Yingyang Street. Tai Yi had never been to Yingyang Street at night. It was pitch black, only illuminated by warm yellow street lamps.But when I got closer, I realized that the place was brightly lit. Unlike the storefronts decorated with antiques during the day, these stores are really simple and simple now.Dilapidated lanterns were hung at the door of the store, and there were bustling crowds. This short street could not see the end at this time.

"This is......?"

Xing Yang took him inside and explained to him: "Blinding eyes, most people can't see these things. During the day, it's a world of tourists, and at night, it's a market that's open every night. Follow me closely. There's a lot of fish and dragons here, ghosts and monsters. Ghosts, demons, all of them."

Tai Yi hurriedly followed a few steps, looking at these busy and strange-looking creatures in front of him, he was a little scared, but he couldn't help but cast his gaze at them, but these things seemed to be very respectful to Xing Yang, and everyone who saw Xing Yang would slightly Bow and say, "Good evening, my lord."

"Hey, Xing Yang, why did they bow to you?"

Xing Yang took out a large bunch of keys out of nowhere, showing off a bit: "Because I am the landlord."

Tai Yi thought for a while and thought that the last time he saw such a large bunch of keys was probably in the news about the Guangdong charterer, he even looked at Xing Yang with a bit of kindness.There were vendors selling snacks on the side of the road yelling, smelling the sweet smell, Tai Yi couldn't help but stand in front of the stall and look at it for a few seconds. The fried and crispy meatballs were put in a bowl and poured with soup and passed them to the guests next to him.

"Xing Yang, can I eat this?" Tai Yi asked.

The peddler saw the two of them coming and began to sell more attentively and diligently, and quickly fished out a few fried ones and handed them to Tai Yi: "It's delicious, sir, have a taste?"

Xing Yang smiled strangely at Tai Yi and said, "Are you sure?"

Tai Yi was not sure when he asked him this question. He blinked and looked at the plate of meatballs. Take out the fresh little devil's head that is still struggling, roll it in flour and egg liquid and throw it into the oil pan. Listen carefully, it's not the sound of sizzle oil at all, but the cry of the little devil struggling!

Tai Yi sneered a few times, and quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no, lose weight, I will lose weight."

The peddler took the bowl away in frustration, and then smiled and sold it to the customers next to him. Tai Yi hurried back to Xing Yang and followed obediently.

"Have you ever heard a legend that the spirits in the mountains will turn strange things into delicacies to lure humans into caves, and the humans who eat these things will die in a beautiful illusion. At this time, the spirits will come to eat humans." Xing Yang looked at the pale Tai Yi and laughed, patted him on the back and led him to a food stall, "Here, you can eat this, do you want to eat it?"

Tai Yi looked carefully, and saw that this bowl of lotus root powder exuded a sweet taste, and there was a Sophora japonica flower as decoration on it.

"what is this?"

The stall owner was a young girl with braids, maybe Tai Yi didn't know, so the stall owner quickly replied: "It's Sophora japonica soup, which is only available in this season."

"I want to try it."

Xing Yang raised his chin at the stall owner, and the stall owner quickly brought a bowl to Tai Yi, Tai Yi took a sip and nodded at Xing Yang: "It's delicious!"

Xing Yang threw a few mellow pearls to the little boss, and then led Tai Yi to the study.

In the store, Aunt Ping was negotiating with a kid because of a book. It seemed that the kid had bargained too much. Aunt Ping raised her eyebrows and opened her mouth to shout angrily, her face turned into a grimace: "Is there someone who bargains like that?" ! I won’t make any money!”

Tai Yi took half a step back and took a mouthful of Sophora japonica soup to calm his shock. Xing Yang asked him, "What? Are you scared?"

"Fortunately, good-looking people are good-looking even when they are angry."

Xing Yang rolled his eyes.

Aunt Ping laughed when she saw the two of them came back, she charged the money to drive the kid out of the house, hung the closed sign outside and closed the gate, Aunt Ping looked at Tai Yi with a little pleasant smile Xiang Xingyang: "Why is Xiao Yi sleeping here tonight?"

Xing Yang gave a "hmm" and said, "It's still safe to sleep here."

Although the house is big, there are only two rooms to live in. One belongs to Aunt Ping and the other belongs to Xing Yang. Although Xing Yang said it doesn't matter, Tai Yi still feels that living with a math teacher is easy to cause psychological shadows. Aunt Ping found a bed for him. The futon was spread on the sofa.Fortunately, the sofa is wide enough to sleep alone without feeling that the place is small.But it was wooden furniture after all, Tai Yi only felt that his waist and cervical spine were going to be useless after sleeping all night.This night, he kept dreaming of the scene of Dodo getting into a car accident repeatedly in his dream, but this time he was standing beside Wan Lina, watching her look at his daughter indifferently, but unfortunately he couldn't do anything , can only watch Duo Duo die repeatedly.

"Uh... what time is it?" Tai Yi was shaken awake by Xing Yang, and asked while rubbing his cervical spine that was creaking.

"It's 06:30, you're going to be late."

Tai Yi got up quickly, washed his face and brushed his teeth quickly, Yingyang Street was half an hour away from the school by car, and the bell for the first class was ringing at [-]:[-] in the morning, so he would be late unless he flew there .

"Why didn't you call me!"

Xing Yang said: "I called you three times, you are sorry."

Tai Yi wanted to cry, but it was already [-]:[-] when he entered the school gate. Seeing the head teacher standing at the gate of the class, Tai Yi took a wrong step behind Xing Yang and gave Xing Yang a look. Xing Yang's face remained unchanged. The class teacher explained: "On the way here, I saw Tai Yi being rubbed by an electric car, so I took him to the clinic."

Hearing the words, the homeroom teacher hurriedly asked Tai Yi where he was scratched, and Tai Yi hurriedly said, "It's fine, there's nothing wrong with it."

Xing Yang patted the back of his head and pushed him into class: "Go to class."

Tai Yi walked in through the back door with his schoolbag in his arms. The first class was the head teacher's class, and the second class was Xing Yang's class. Not to mention that Xing Yang's teaching was quite good, Tai Yi has always relied on his math skills Moving forward with several other subjects, I usually pay only average attention in math class.Now that Xing Yang is taking over, Tai Yi feels that Xing Yang is watching all this class, and he doesn't dare to be distracted.As the college entrance examination approaches, the atmosphere in the class clearly divides. Those who study are still learning, and those who don’t have given up on themselves. Tai Yi’s enthusiasm for learning makes Xing Yang very unhappy. When he is free, he is caught in the office to watch He wrote mathematics, which made Tai Yi collapse.

"Ms. Xing, I don't think it's fair to prescribe small things to individual students. There are many students in the class who still have room to improve their math scores." Tai Yi was still chewing on the apples that Aunt Ping had cut. Tai Yi's father is busy with work, and there is a high probability that he will be promoted for a while. He can't relax at work, and he feels regretful and guilty for not being able to be with his son at a critical moment in his life. Tai Yi thinks it's not bad. The excuse for making up lessons is that home and the bookstore run between home and school. If Tai’s father works overtime at night or goes on a business trip, Tai Yi will live in the bookstore. After all, it’s safer to stay with Xing Yang.

If the previous car accident opened Tai Yi's yin and yang eyes by 70%, then this serious illness has completely opened these eyes. From time to time, Tai Yi will feel the coldness rising from the soles of his feet invading the bone marrow. Tai Yi would feel more comfortable staying beside him with anger, at least the cold feeling surrounding him was not so strong.

Xing Yang didn't even give him a look, he glanced at his watch and said casually: "There are still 15 minutes, don't eat at noon if you can't finish this paper."

Tai Yi dared not speak out, but Aunt Ping secretly pointed to the pot of stewed bones in the kitchen to beckon him to write quickly.

"Aren't we going to help Dodo?" Tai Yi asked.

Xing Yang privately felt that the college entrance examination should not delay Tai Yi's study. Seeing that there are not many days left before the college entrance examination, Duo Duo also said that being trapped here for so many years is still affordable.And now it's just that Tai Yi is not allowed to participate, but Xing Yang has been taking action on this matter.It is really not difficult to solve the matter of Duoduo, just follow the vines and find the person behind Zhou Hao and his wife's tricks. The difficult part is that this person is not easy to find, but the problem is that Zhou Duoduo died six years ago It's been a long time, why did he attack Tai Yi at this time.

He had interrogated Dodo before why she suddenly provoked Tai Yi, or who behind her instructed her to do so.

But Dodo thought for a while in a daze and couldn't think of anything. It was only when Dodo realized that her actions were indeed full of doubts. If Xing Yang hadn't asked her, she hadn't thought about the reason. Of.

At noon, Xing Yang put the computer on the table, and they chatted while eating. Dodo's parents are celebrities in Haishi, Zhou Hao is a powerful philanthropist and real estate developer in the city, and Wan Lina She is the hostess of the city's TV station. This celebrity couple is also a well-known public figure in the city. Tai Yi dares to say that there is not a single student in Haishi who has not read the books donated by the Haoxin Foundation.Although there is a lot of information about Zhou Hao and Wan Lina that can be found on the Internet, there is not much useful information. Most of them are repetitive and nonsense drafts that are repeatedly published by local media accounts.

Xing Yang tapped the paused video on the computer page a few times with his hands, and said, "You can watch this interview by yourself."

Aunt Ping also came over to watch. Tai Yi moved the video to the beginning to play. The resolution of this video is very low. It is an old video from 500. It lasts nearly half an hour. Personal entrepreneurial experience, after all, this man said that he "started from scratch with [-] yuan and worked hard to create the world", and he is still an idol in the hearts of some entrepreneurs.

【...Everyone knows how many companies have been hit by the financial crisis. Think about it, the Zhou Group also entered a desperate situation, and friends in the media also know that my wife and I were also going through life at that time. My daughter was unfortunately killed in a car accident. Looking back now, I am really grateful to my family who has been with me, to my wife who has always guarded me, and to my "comrades" who fought with me to the end, and Zhao The help that the teacher gave me, the Zhou Group's achievements today cannot be attributed to me at all...]

Tai Yi watched Zhou Hao's passage three times and realized something was wrong. In this video, the part introducing the development of the Zhou Group was too exaggerated. The last sentence still described how the Zhou Group was on the verge of collapse. One sentence is to praise Zhou Hao's management ability, but the twist in it is only conveyed by the sentence "a miraculous opportunity has brought new vitality to Zhou's Group".

Tai Yi turned his head and asked Duoduo: "Duoduo, do you have any impression of the teacher Zhao your father mentioned?"

Dodo shook her head.

He said to Xing Yang again: "This, this Mr. Zhao... I feel very strange."

"I think so too. Mr. Zhao and Zhou Hao only mentioned it this time. I checked and asked a few people. If I'm not mistaken, it should be this person," Xing Yang clicked on Haishi University's account A list of faculty and staff, "There is a professor in the Department of Economics named Zhao Chenghai. I found this person's Renren account, which has not been updated for a long time, but there is a group photo of him and Zhou Hao."

Tai Yi thought of something and suddenly raised his voice: "Zhou Hao is a graduate of Haida University! Take a look! I remember that he went back to give a speech during the Centennial Anniversary of Haida University a few years ago!"

Xing Yang found the news post of the Centennial Celebration from Haida's official website, and the second photo he clicked on was a photo of Zhou Hao awarding scholarships to outstanding students.

"Then this teacher Zhao should be Zhao Chenghai," Tai Yi sighed, and the shoulders that had just been lifted by excitement sank, "I thought it was some key person, but he turned out to be a teacher."

Xing Yang reminded him: "Don't think like this. If Zhou Hao is really an insignificant person, it is impossible for Zhou Hao to mention him in such an important personal interview. This weekend, I plan to go to the cemetery to see Duo Duo's tomb."

"Huh? Why?"

"I have received news that Zhou Hao and his wife are going to visit the grave of their dead daughter this weekend. Let's go to stay."
