Ms. Sui Yunxin did not drink tea, but asked the waiter to grind a cup of coffee separately. She stirred the coffee gently, her mind not seeming to be on the meeting between the two.
Li Mo didn't push him, but he drank tea leisurely, although he despised the merchant's behavior of shoddy goods. But if you can get a slightly passable drink outside, it’s already good, so you can’t be too picky.
"Does Mr. Li already know about the relationship between me and Hong Qing?"
"Ms. Sui figured it out after she returned?" Li Mo asked with a smile.
"I saw the report about you yesterday and I realized that wherever there is an inexplicable chance encounter in this world, it is usually a meeting that has been arranged in advance. Mr. Li, is Hongqing okay?"
It was impossible for Li Mo to hide his little tricks from Sui Yunxin, so he nodded slightly when she saw her straightforward words and said: "It's not good, at least not happy enough. After I separated from you, I returned to my hometown in the countryside and never married. Later, he went to Magic City several times, always looking at you from a distance. After you left Magic City, he never went there again. Until the beginning of this year, I went to Master’s hometown to visit the elders, so I knew that he was young Something happened at that time. To be honest, this kind of man may be a bit stubborn, but he is also worthy of admiration, so he followed me to Kyoto. I thought that no matter what, I can't let him live with a lifetime of obsession and regret."
Sui Yunxin was slightly excited, and she took out a piece of paper and wiped the corners of her eyes.
Li Mo waited for her to gradually calm down.
"Mr. Li, I would like to ask, why do you want to help Hongqing?"
"Are you doubting my motives?" Li Mo suddenly exuded a fierce aura, which was a kind of strong mentality. With his current status, even though Sui Yunxin is well-known in the Kyoto business world, compared with him, he is still just a small figure.
Sui Yunxin was obviously shocked by the aura emanating from him, her expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly said: "Mr. Li, please don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I..."
Li Mo suddenly laughed and acted calmly. He took a sip of tea and said, "After he separated from you, my master and my wife fell in love, but he had no money at the time, and his parents didn't have any money, so Uncle Hongqing secretly gave all the money he saved to support my master so that he could get married and have a daughter smoothly."
"You also know that I am where I am today because Master has tried his best to teach me since I was a child and taught me the skills of identifying treasures. So I try my best to do what I can. I hope that my relatives around me can live a happy life. The life you want. Of course, I will not destroy your family just to help Uncle Hongqing, so I met you first the day before yesterday."
Sui Yunxin shed tears, lowered her head and wiped it. After a long time, she took a deep breath and said, "Back then, my parents failed in business and owed a lot of loan sharks. If I got married according to their wishes, the husband's family would provide a sum of money to help my parents pay the bills." To get through the difficulties. At that time, I had no other choice, otherwise I could only watch my family being driven to a dead end. A few days before the wedding, I gave him a piece of porcelain from home. This was the only way I could help him. made."
"The pen holder of the four concubines and sixteen sons of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty has a very good meaning."
Li Mo said with a smile.
"Later, my husband's family also had a big change. In the end, the only option was divorce. I left Kyoto with my two children and went to live with my uncle's family in Kyoto. Since the divorce, my only belief has been to bring the two together. My children were raised well, so I worked hard to make money, and then made more money, and I have the career I have today."
"Have you never thought of looking for him?"
"I couldn't protect myself. At that time, I thought that Hongqing also had a family of his own, with parents, wife and children to take care of. How could I continue to destroy his peaceful life."
Li Mo nodded, it was all a mistake.
"Uncle Hongqing said that he once inquired and said that your man often abused you domestically and that you were living a very difficult life. He has been thinking about you for more than 20 years. As juniors, we don't want him to be like this. Live a lifetime.”
Sui Yunxin covered her mouth and started crying, which made the waiters look over frequently. After a long time, she stopped crying and said softly: "That year, I had just given birth to my daughter and was confinement at home. A total of six people from my husband's family, old and young, went to the Northeast for tourism. But about ten days later, it was just me. The man came back alone, but his father-in-law, his uncle, and his two cousins who went with him never showed up again. From that time on, he started drinking heavily and would beat me when he was drunk."
Li Mo frowned when he heard this.
"You guessed it right. They actually all died. They died in a valley in Changbai Mountain. Later, the official conclusion was that they died from inhalation of excessive miasma poisoning. I thought it was just an accident. Later, he died again Drunk, they went crazy while mumbling, 'What bullshit treasure, what golden lily robbery plan, what secret treasure map and so on.' I guess they went to the Northeast to hunt for treasure? At that time, the two children were still Xiao, I was worried that he would kill his two children, so I divorced him resolutely, left the house with my two children, and came to Kyoto to start over."
"So he has a treasure map in his hand?"
"I don't know, I've never seen it. Later he committed suicide. The doctor said he suffered from depression. Because he had no other relatives to deal with his funeral, he contacted me. The things he left behind were suspicious at best. A notebook that looked very old, but it was all in the island language. I also suspected that there was something wrong with that notebook, so I asked someone to translate part of it, but they were all records of ordinary daily things, and then I put it I collected them all and kept them at home.”
When Sui Yunxin said this, she glanced at Li Mo who was thoughtful, and couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Li, what are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about the Golden Lily plundering plan you just mentioned. There are basically no records of this plan among the people. There are only some mentions in some precious historical documents. I also accidentally discovered something about it in the Kyoto National Museum. Records, you suddenly mentioned it just now, and I just remembered it."
Li Mo picked up the tea cup and took a few sips, and continued in a heavy tone: "The reason why I have some impression of the relevant records of the 'Golden Lily Plunder Plan' is because the drafting and implementation of that plan happened to be during the period of the Jinling Disaster. .”
"Are their deaths really related to some treasure?"
"I don't know, a record is a record, and it's a record in words and phrases." Li Mo waved his hand, then leaned on the back of the chair and looked at Sui Yunxin, "I'm sorry, I got off topic while I was talking. Ms. Sui , since you already know my purpose, do you want to meet Uncle Hongqing? If you don’t have that idea, I will tell him that I have not found your whereabouts. "
Sui Yunxin also adjusted her mentality. She said solemnly: "This is also the reason why I made an appointment with Mr. Li alone. I want to meet Hong Qing."
"you sure?"
"Yes."
Li Mo nodded, drank the tea in the cup and said, "I will arrange the time and wait for my news."
After the two separated, Li Mo drove to visit several museums in Yanjiao. He just took a quick look at the roadside in the distance. There were many tourist buses parked in each square, and tourists began to queue up. Enter.
This is not just a two-day weekend. When the weekend comes, more people come to play.
At around 11 o'clock in the morning, Li Mo rode a donkey into the Beijing University campus. He had a big class in the afternoon that lasted about ninety minutes, so he simply had lunch in the Beijing University cafeteria.
The cafeteria is already bustling with students waiting for food. He touched his pockets and then remembered that Beijing University had given him a new meal card, salary card, etc. It's in the desk drawer right now. It would take at least twenty minutes to go back and forth to pick it up.
When he was hesitating whether to go out for a meal, someone suddenly patted him from behind, and a familiar voice said with a bit of surprise: "Li Mo."
Li Mo turned around and looked with a smile on his face and said: "President of Chu University, long time no see. I heard that you have stayed in school as a teacher. Congratulations."
The visitor was none other than Chu Li, whom I hadn’t seen for more than two years. She had graduated successfully and was staying at school to work. Time can really change a person. When Chu Li was the school beauty, she was naturally considered beautiful by all her male classmates. At that time, she still had a little bit of youthfulness in her body. Now she looks like a completely different person, her face is filled with great confidence and she dresses very tastefully.
"What kind of teacher am I? I'm just a handyman. Unlike you, I am now a genuine associate professor, and an associate professor of history recognized by two top prestigious universities. Tsk tsk, this person is really annoying compared to others. I don't care, wait for you. I want a treat to soothe my wounded heart."
As the two of them were laughing and talking, the classmates who were coming and going looked in their direction. Beautiful women are more likely to attract attention, but at this moment, more of their eyes are on Li Mo.
That face is so familiar, he represents a legend.
"You want me to treat you?"
"Could it be that I, a girl with a small salary, invited you to dinner? Li Mo, when did you become stingy? Okay, okay, I'll just treat you to this meal. Alas, the richer people are these days, the stingier they become. ah."
Three black lines appeared on Li Mo's forehead. Why did the squad leader Chu become more and more venomous and stinging with his words? He wanted to explain that he didn't bring a meal card, but when he saw that Chu Li had already walked to the window to get food, he had to swallow the words that came to his lips first.
"Li Mo, I've spent a lot of money to treat you. If I eat by myself, I usually have one meal, one dish, and free soup. See for yourself, three meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes, and one soup will cover my food expenses for a week."
Li Mo picked up his rice bowl and started eating. This girl seems to like to talk nonsense, which is not a good thing.
"Li Mo, you have returned safely after being missing for two years. How about I organize a bureau to gather all the high school classmates who stayed in Kyoto to work for a meal? Except for me who stayed in school, the other classmates have already entered the society. "
"If you really need my help in life, please don't be polite."
"Really, this is what you said." Chu Li picked a piece of rice and chewed it, then with a hint of determination on her face, she whispered, "Li Mo, do you have a girlfriend?"
Li Mo looked up at her, shook his head and said, "No."
Chu Li immediately showed her little daughter's attitude, looking a little embarrassed.
"Then what do you think of me?"
Li Mo gently tapped her forehead with the tip of his chopsticks, and said in a dumbfounded voice: "President Chu, I just said that I don't have a girlfriend, but I'm already married."
"ah!"
Chu Li stared into his eyes with wide eyes and looked at him in disbelief. They were sincere and didn't look like he was lying. But he just came back a year ago, so why is he already married? Not to mention that she didn't know, even the news didn't spread in the school.
"Don't fool me, I see you're not even wearing a wedding ring."
"You reminded me that I will go to the jewelry store to buy a ring after my class in the afternoon. I'm ashamed that I haven't bought a diamond ring for my wife even though I'm already married. No, I'll pick out some beautiful jewelry for her in the evening."
Li Mo muttered a few words and continued to cook. If he was hungry, the feeling of hunger would be very strong, and he could easily eat three or four bowls of rice.
Under the dining table, Chu Li kicked Li Mo and said threateningly: "I didn't say anything just now."
"What did you say just now? I was eating and didn't pay attention."
Chu Li now looked like he was "you know what you know".
After a while, Chu Li couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Are you really married? Show me your wife's photo."
Li Mo took out his cell phone generously, and then pulled out a photo, which was a photo of the two when they were getting their marriage certificate.
Chu Li looked carefully and then rubbed it, fearing that he had seen it wrong. After a while, she looked at Li Mo with a strange expression: "Is it that super star Qin Sirui?"
Li Mo chuckled, then put away his phone and continued eating.
Chu Li seemed to be greatly shocked and put down his bowl and chopsticks: "I can't eat any more."
"President Chu, I will definitely bring you wedding candies when we hold the wedding."
After dinner, Li Mo went to the faculty building. He was already an associate professor, and he was full of fantasy. Everyone in the building who met him enthusiastically called "Associate Professor Li".
Li Mo felt that he needed to work harder and try to remove the word 'vice' in front of it as soon as possible.
"Associate Professor Li." Zheng Bin hurriedly ran over from behind. He had gained a lot of weight, his face was rounded, and he had an obvious belly.
"Hello, Professor Zheng."
"Deputy, deputy, if I have another chance to be rated as a full professor, it will probably take me many years of qualifications." Zheng Bin said modestly, and then made a gesture of invitation, "You and I are in the same office. , from now on we will be working there, and it will be ten times cleaner than before."
Their new office is located in a row of office rooms on the south side of the fourth floor, with two nameplates on the door.
"How about it? The environment is good. When you are promoted to Professor Li, you will have your own large and independent office, which will be more comfortable then. The school will also assign you a teaching assistant. If you are willing, you can also You can lead a few master's students, or become a doctoral supervisor. I think you will reach that level soon, but I am still far away."
"Why don't you make a pot of tea and let us have a drink? While you are making tea, I happened to call Professor Zhu and ask him about something."
Li Mo dialed Professor Zhu Changping's phone number. He should be having lunch.
"Teacher, I'll call you later."
"No, let's talk about it now."
"Teacher, I would like to ask if you are familiar with historical events such as the Golden Lily plunder plan planned by the island country during World War II?"
"Golden Lily plunder plan?" There was silence for more than ten seconds before Zhu Changping's voice came out, "It seems that I have an impression, but I can't remember exactly where I saw it. Xiao Mo, why did you suddenly ask about this? ?”
"I just met someone, and we came up with this matter while chatting. I was a little curious, so I asked."
Li Mo didn't reveal anything.
"Well, you can take the time to go to the National Library to look for this matter. Many historical events in the past are rarely circulated among the people, but they may be recorded in some ancient books in the library."
"Okay, then I'll go to the library to check it tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Li Mo touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
