Chapter 492 Huangpu(1/2)
Luo Lie was still sleeping. He was always worried about Yan Tianxin. Judging from the murder of the Black Falcon, Yan Tianxin was gradually unable to control himself. After all, Princess Long Yu's consciousness still exists in her brain. No matter whether Luo Lie wants to or does not want to, he cannot deny this fact.
If Long Tianxin's consciousness revives, how will he face her?
He heard the light footsteps, and then heard the sound of the sliding door. It was Yan Tianxin, who had crawled into Luo Lie's quilt with the fragrance...
It was already the next evening when Luo Lie woke up. He didn't know why he had slept for so long, and there was no one around him. He sat up and thought Yan Tianxin had already gotten up, but soon he smelled the faint smell of sandalwood in the room. His eyes fell on the square table and saw the letter on the square table.
Luo Lie hurried to the side of the square and picked up the letter, but saw lines of elegant small characters written above, which were the farewell letters left to him by Yan Tianxin.
Luo Lie:
When you see this letter, I have already left. Don’t look for me. When I deliberately try to avoid it, you won’t find me. You should see my abnormality during this period. I am increasingly unable to control myself. I can’t control Long Yu, and she can’t control me. I am worried that I will hurt you in a state of confusion in consciousness.
During this period, I have been reminding myself that I am Yan Tianxin, but now I finally understand that it is just my wishful self-deception. I am not Yan Tianxin or Long Yu. The consciousness and soul I have are just two monsters that combine and symbiotically with broken souls. I retain part of Yan Tianxin's memory and part of Long Yu's memory. I am Long Tianxin.
Since I came to this era, I have not understood the meaning of life. Many things I have done, whether good or bad, are mostly not my original intention.
I will stay. No matter what the final result is, no matter what it becomes, you don’t have to worry. I left something. I call it the time frequency meter, which contains the frequency index of your past life. You have the Mysterious Ice Eye and the Purple Mansion Jade Box. These two things can absorb and accumulate huge energy. Remember the Tower of Tongtian you told me?
Using the Tower of Heaven, you can travel through time and space to return to the past and meet your family again. Of course, all this only exists in theory and will have some deviations in actual actions, but the error should not be too large.
I forgot to tell you something, the body of an ordinary person cannot withstand such jumps in time and space, and you should be fine.
Luo Lie turned to the second page...
The luckiest thing in my life is that I met you and being able to reunite in another time and space is a wonderful experience for you and me. I will give you a piece of advice. If you follow my method to go back to the past, bury everything that happened in my heart and become your eternal secret. Whether it is good or bad, just know it yourself, and never tell others to know it.
The most terrifying thing in this world is actually human ambitions. You and I can never change. Let's leave quickly and before I regret it.
Luo Lie read the letter Yan Tianxin left to him, and he was very calm inside. He understood Yan Tianxin's painstaking efforts. Go back? Can you still go back?
*******
Some things will gradually be forgotten as time goes by. This is the third snowless winter in Huangpu. Although it does not snow, the rain continues to fall. Since the twelfth lunar month, it will rain every day. In the past two days, a cold wave from Siberia has dropped the temperature below freezing point. It is raining in the sky, but when it reaches the ground, it quickly turns into ice.
The biting cold wind drove the people on the streets, and there were fewer pedestrians on the bustling streets in the past. Such temperatures were not suitable for shopping. A rickshaw suddenly passed the intersection in front. The black car, which was still a distance away, quickly braked. Because the ground was frozen, the tires were accidentally locked when braked. The tires of the car rubbed against the frozen surface, and the creaking sounded sharply, which sounded like a woman's scream.
The rickshaw driver turned pale and stayed in place. The passenger who was dozing with his neck curled up in the car was also awakened by fright. He stared at his small eyes desperately and screamed even sharper than the friction of the wheels.
The car finally stopped, and was less than a foot away from the rickshaw. The driver was also scared. The door was pushed open, and the sparrow with blood-lost face jumped out of the car, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry... are you okay?"
The rickshaw driver shook his head. He was frightened by the danger just now, and he is still in shock.
The passenger in the car roared angrily: "It's okay? Why don't you let me drive and hit you once?"
When the sparrow heard the sound, he looked up and saw the passenger squinting his small eyes. He was a little amblyopia during the day, but he also felt that the sound was very familiar. Before he could react, his ears were already grabbed by the sparrow: "Damn blind, are you going to drive and hit me? You can hit me! I'll stand here waiting for you to hit you!"
Sitting in the rickshaw was An Zhai, a blind man who had just returned from Nanyang. An Zhai covered his ears and begged for mercy: "Auntie, I don't know it was you. If I had known it was you, even if you were hit by you a hundred times, a thousand times, I wouldn't even dare to put one more fart."
Princess Sparrow laughed and let go of her hand.
The blind man rubbed his red little ears, and after he came back, he had frostbite in his ears. The sparrow pulled him just now, which made him grin and grin: "I said Miss Ma, can't you be gentle? When will you get married like you?"
The sparrow spat and reached out to grab his ears again. The blind man was so scared that he quickly shrank his head and begged for mercy: "I'm afraid of you, I'm afraid of you, I've brought you a gift from Nanyang."
The sparrow looked at him suspiciously: "I don't know you are coming back. If you hadn't met him on the street, I would have forgotten my friend at all."
The blind man laughed and said, "How could you be? You are so beautiful. I had a crush on you for a while back then."
Sparrow said: "I have to say this to Zhou Xiaodie."
The blind man was so scared that he stuck out his tongue.
The rickshaw driver came to his senses and shouted, "My... I was scared half of my life, I will lose money!"
The blind man glared at him and said, "Have you bumped into you? Do you want to blackmail in broad daylight? Believe it or not, I will call the police to arrest you?"
The sparrow was calm and handed the coachman a piece of ocean to send him away. After all, he earned hard money. Besides, it was obvious that he was wrong just now.
The blind man walked into the Sparrow's car with his suitcase. After the sparrow got in the car, he remembered that the blind man was not coming for him and asked, "You didn't start a family and a career in Nanyang, why are you back?"
The blind man said, "Come back and see..." After pausing, he said, "There has been no news about Luo Lie for several years, so I have to come back and see."
When Sparrow heard him mention Luo Lie's name, he couldn't help but feel sad. He felt a hot and almost shed tears. Luo Lie has been missing for three years, but when he mentioned his name, Sparrow's heart is still very sad. She is still alone until now and has become an old girl in the eyes of many people. Although she and Luo Lie have no status, Luo Lie may not have her place in her heart, but she is always waiting.
The blind man took out his cigarette box and pulled out a cigar. Before he could lit it, he was snatched by the sparrow: "Don't smoke in my car!"
The blind man said, "You are just bullying me, if you are Luo Lie..." As soon as he said that, he immediately regretted that he would not open the pot of his hand.
The sparrow looked at him coldly and said, "Is it intentional?"
The blind man smiled embarrassedly: "No...what, where are you going on this rainy day?"
Sparrow said: "Cheng Yufei has returned from Yangcheng, and we made an appointment to have dinner together."
The blind man smashed his mouth and said, "I saved you money, let's make up two welcome banquets."
Sparrow said: "Some people's skin is getting thicker and thicker, and the sun in South China has not sunlight you through?"
Cheng Yufei locked up the detective office in Huangpu and went to Yangcheng. However, the situation was turbulent and there was no peace everywhere. She would come to Huangpu for two months every year, and usually choose to be around the Chinese New Year. Although she locked up the detective office, she still had a house in Huangpu, and Sparrow invited her to live together, but Cheng Yufei politely declined.
When the sparrow brought the blind man to this restaurant, Cheng Yufei had already arrived first.
The sparrow pushed the door and walked in, laughing and said, "Yu Fei, I'm sorry, I encountered something on the way, so I was delayed."
The blind man walked in with his suitcase. Cheng Yufei laughed when he saw that it was him. With her detective's eyes, she easily judged that the blind man had just arrived for a long distance. She smiled and said, "You're not Mr. An, you're talking about it?"
Sparrow said: "Who else isn't him?"
The blind man put down his suitcase, took off his coat outside, and sighed: "Huangpu is so cold. I always wear summer clothes in Nanyang."
Cheng Yufei said: "I have forgotten my hometown in just a few years after going to Nanyang."
The blind man said, "I dare not forget my worries in the country. Don't say that to me. When I come back this time, I brought a lot of donations to the foundation I plan to donate to you."
Speaking of the foundation, the sparrow frowned: "Ye Qinghong went to Europe, what? Don't you know?"
The blind man shook his head. Although he often wrote letters to Ye Qinghong, he had never received a reply from Ye Qinghong. The main reason he came back this time was to see Luo Lie's children and see if they were doing well. Although his abilities were limited, he also had to do his part for his old friends. Of course, he also understood that with Ye Qinghong's wisdom and ability, he would definitely take good care of his two children.
The sparrow handed the menu to the blind man, who handed it to Cheng Yufei very gentlemanly.
Cheng Yufei said: "Did you have an appointment with several other friends when you come back this time?"
The blind man shook his head again and said, "No, really, I want to contact you, but I can't."
Sparrow said: "How come you can't get in touch? You are all friends of life and death."
The blind man smiled bitterly and said, "It's a friend of life and death, but the current situation is so turbulent, everyone has their own things to do. Lu Weilin went to join the army. He still had contact with the Japanese when he was fighting in Manchuria, but he had no news for more than half a year. Arnold had already returned to England. Zhang Changgong might be on Dongshan Island. I heard that Hai Liantian was in poor health, so Hai Mingzhu went back to take care of him, so he followed him."
The sparrow nodded and said, "So you mainly want to meet Ye Qinghong and his son when you come back this time?"
The blind man said, "Yes, I didn't expect to lose everything."
Cheng Yufei said: "It's been three years, and Luo Lie has been leaving for three years, and there is no news."
Sparrow said: "He is so capable and will never have any trouble." Her words were more like she said to herself.
Cheng Yufei sighed. In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that Luo Lie would not come back. If he still lived in this world, he would not have been able to not go home for so long to reunite with his wife and children, and he would not have forgotten these friends.
The blind man said, "It's all my fault, I've caused him so much trouble."
Sparrow said: "I'm blaming me. If I hadn't asked him to help find some Jiuding from the beginning, I wouldn't have caused so many things."
Cheng Yufei said: "I am not here to listen to your review today. Are you hungry? I'm ordering food."
The sparrow nodded and said, "I'll ask!"
It should have been a happy thing to reunite old friends, but their mood became a little heavy, not because of the weather here, but because of their friends and relatives who are missing.
After the blind man had a few glasses of wine, his conversation opened again, pointed to the suitcase he brought with him and said, "Sparrow, I have handed you all the things in it. There is a detailed note inside, all donated by the Chinese merchants in South China. This is just the beginning and the follow-up. It is some of the feelings of us to our Chinese people."
Sparrow said: "When did you become so generous?"
The blind man said: "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the country, but I wondered, our great China, why did the 400 million compatriots bully the Japanese like this?"
Cheng Yufei said: "There are ears in the walls, so don't talk about state affairs." She is cautious and some words are not convenient to talk outside.
The blind man said, "What's there to be afraid of? I don't even say anything these days?"
Cheng Yufei said: "It's not that you don't let you talk, but that you can't talk nonsense."
Sparrow said: "Huangpu is different now than in the past."
Cheng Yufei took the opportunity to change the topic and said, "I heard that Ren Tianjun passed away?"
The sparrow nodded and said, "Like his father's fate, he was assassinated. After coming to Huangpu, this man did some good things and protected many patriotic young people. It may be because of this reason that he was regarded as a thorn in his eyes by the interest groups."
"I remember he has a son."
Sparrow said: "Ren Yuqing is a well-behaved child. After Ren Tianjun's death, Ye Qinghong adopted him. As far as I can tell, Ye Qinghong went to Europe this time to arrange his affairs. Ren Tianjun has many enemies. These people are extremely cruel in their work and will eliminate the roots without leaving any future troubles. If the child continues to stay in Huangpu, it is very likely that there will be danger. He happened to be at school age."
The blind man praised: "Ye Qinghong is really righteous and repays grievances with kindness. Ren Tianjun hurts the couple a lot at the time." In fact, he was also regarded by Ren Tianjun as the enemy who killed his father. Until now, the blind man still can't understand why Ren Tianjun suddenly changed his temperament and would give up the revenge of killing his father. Perhaps only the person involved knew the inside story himself, Ye Qinghong knew, and Luo Lie should also know it.
Thinking of Luo Lie, blind man couldn't help but sigh again and said, "It's really not easy for Ye Qinghong to pull three children alone. I have to visit Europe."
Sparrow said: "What can you help? Ye Qinghong is a strong-willed person. Since Luo Lien went to Xihai to disappear, she has rarely contacted us. Although she and I are in Huangpu, we rarely meet."
Cheng Yufei said: "Maybe it's because she doesn't want to bring back memories of Luo Lie, right?"
The sparrow was silent. Only Luo Lie had such influence around them. After three years of leaving, the topic of their gathering was still around him. The sparrow made a special trip to the West Sea to find Luo Lie's whereabouts, but did not find any news about Luo Lie. She knew that Ye Qinghong had never given up on searching for Luo Lie.
Cheng Yufei bit her lip and said, "Have you ever thought that Luo Lie will never come back?" She wanted to tell the fact that Luo Lie was dead, but when she spoke to her lips, she always felt that she was too cruel to these friends.
The blind man shook his head vigorously and said, "Impossible, Luo Lie is not an ordinary person, no one in this world can defeat him."
