It was they who later discovered, what good was I to them?
Or is there someone instigating it?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt chilled all over my body, and the cordon in my heart was completely full!
My thoughts were hidden in my heart, and my tone was cold: "Are you done?"
"Uncle Xu has finished speaking, but when you go back, Nuan Nuan still has something to say. Just let this girl go and discipline her. After all, she is your fiancée..." Xu Fangnian was particularly sincere.
I shook my head, almost expressionless, and said, "People like me are just what you call a lost dog."
"As long as I'm alive, I've experienced too much sordidness, so I'm used to doing things extremely badly, and humiliating the souls of my parents in heaven. Your Xu family is no longer worthy of it."
"Since you have avenged Qianqian, I will no longer pursue the issue of the betrothal gift, and you don't have to return anything."
"Make way."
My few words made Tang Quan's expression change drastically.
He stared at Xu Fangnian, the muscles on his forehead twitching.
Xu Fangnian used it to avenge Tang Qianqian, killing two birds with one stone, softening my defense, and making Tang Quan his lobbyist.
I pointed them out directly for what they were doing.
With Tang Quan's loyalty to my family, how could he trust Xu Fangnian again?
Xu Fangnian changed his color slightly and immediately explained: "Xian Shen, this is Nuan Nuan's temporary nonsense. I will reprimand you when I get back. You can't do this to Uncle Xu!"
"Then what should I do to you? Use my low-level methods to shave your head?"
I raised my forearm slightly and held the razor between my fingers.
The midday sun was shining brightly, the blade was slightly reflective, and the coldness was threatening.
Xu Fangnian was frightened and immediately took a few steps back.
I took another step forward, and Xu Fangnian turned around in panic.
A Land Rover stopped in the center of the road. He hurriedly got into the passenger seat and the car quickly drove out onto the street.
I put my hand slightly into my sleeve and put away the razor.
Tang Quan followed him out. He looked pale and said, "Master, when you return to Jinyang, you go to the Xu family first, right? What did the Xu family say to you that day?"
I said nothing, but nodded.
"They deserve to die!" Tang Quan stomped his feet angrily and cursed: "Then Xu Fangnian must be trying to take advantage of you. It's just an excuse for him to avenge Qianqian!"
It was exactly what I expected.
With just a little mention, Tang Quan understood the pros and cons.
"Uncle Tang, is your place still safe now?" I softened my tone.
…
Two hours later, in the center of the city, Baihua Avenue.
There are tall birch trees on both sides of the road, and on the right is a dilapidated urban village. There are many "Hai" letters printed on the brick walls along the outer edge.
Going further inside, most of the old houses are built with plastic sheds and a few with colored steel.
The cement pavement is cracked, potholed, and there is standing water. Dirty and messy is the best adjective here.
Tang Quan limped half a step ahead of me, leading the way.
There were many people standing in front of the old houses, looking at us, and scrutinizing us.
We didn't come directly.
After leaving the street, I changed into black cars three times and walked around the city for a long time before I got here.
According to Tang Quan, the village in the city is his hometown.
But except for my parents, no one knew his details. Even his ID card was remade by my dad at the time. His address was on Starling Street.
Ten years ago, before the accident happened in the Luo family, his parents passed away. After he arranged the funeral, he encountered great changes in the Luo family. He broke his leg and did not come back for ten years.
After about ten minutes, we stopped outside a large courtyard.
With its blue brick courtyard wall and large black tile house, the old house exudes a sense of tranquility that has been uninhabited for a long time.
The lock was rusty and it took Tang Quan a long time to open it.
When the door was pushed open, the hinges creaked like a toad in a graveyard.
The floor has been paved with cement, and there are no weeds growing in the yard. There is a well on the left, and next to it is a two-meter-wide flower bed with a crooked-neck peach tree.
The central hall has a high threshold and the door is closed.
There are several rooms on the left and right sides, and the doors and windows are also tightly closed.
"The Luo family was very good to me in the past. The salary given by the master and his wife was high. I took it back and let my family build a new house. As a result, my parents didn't enjoy much. They suddenly got strange diseases and became crazy. I didn't have time to take care of them. , and not long after, they died suddenly." Tang Quan's eyes were filled with confusion.
"Everyone has his or her own destiny. My condolences to Uncle Tang." I persuaded him softly.
Tang Quan smiled easily and said, "Master, I have looked away a long time ago. It is quiet and safe here. You can buy everything in the village in the city. As long as you are careful enough when you go out to do errands and don't expose your whereabouts when you come back, you will be fine."
"Yeah." I nodded.
Tang Quan went to push open the door of the tiled house in the center.
In the clean main room, there are carved wooden tables and solid wood chairs.
A mourning hall was set up on the north wall. Although there was no memorial tablet, there were two photos of a couple in their sixties with expressionless faces.
"The house is very clean." I swept around, and there was no dust even in every corner.
"Yes, no one has ever come back. Everything remains as it was back then."
While answering, Tang Quan walked to the front of the mourning hall, first took out a few sticks of incense from the desk drawer, lit it and put the incense before his bow, and then placed Tang Qianqian's photo in the corner.
Then, Tang Quan turned around and asked me cautiously: "When you said you had something to do with the Luo family, you didn't mean that Xu Fangnian came to you, right?"
I shook my head no.
Then he asked him if he knew about the non-governmental organization Huangsi?
Tang Quan's eyes were blank and he said he didn't know.
I didn't hide it from Tang Quan. I told him that the men my parents took away were from Huangsi. By chance, I met them and they wanted an explanation, and then we had a conflict.
Although I left safely and they promised not to cause trouble, they had to be careful. We made quite a fuss in Fenghanxuan. It would be safer to move to another place.
Tang Quan nodded repeatedly and said that this was indeed the truth, and that Xu Fangnian's behavior was also scary.
After a pause, Tang Quan asked me, what are my next plans?
Is it necessary to get to the bottom of what happened back then?
Obviously, Tang Quan thought I left just to investigate this matter.
I remained silent.
The water in Jinyang is too deep.
It got so deep that I actually felt that my low-level methods were not enough.
The death of my parents was full of doubts.
The Xu family's methods in the past two days are too scary to me, and it is definitely impossible for me to interact with Xu Fangnian again.
Huangsi is actually a place that is not easy to mess with.
For a moment, a scene emerged in my mind...
Sun Dahai carried meat and vegetables to buy books and lived a contented retirement life.
Lao Qintou once said that I didn't have a Yangshen, so I couldn't afford to offend my cousin's family.
But it seems from the facts...
It seems that only Sun Dahai can be controlled easily by me?
Not only can I find out from his mouth the zodiac sign he used to take my life.
Maybe he even knew what was going on with my parents back then?
I was in danger of death, so my parents washed their hands in the golden basin, and then died without seeing their bodies.
It was him and my cousin who made me suffer!
My uncle's family may be closely related to the misfortunes my family suffered!
After my thoughts gradually calmed down, I answered Tang Quan: "Uncle Tang, we have to consider the future matters in a long-term manner. Please take these."
I took out a thick wad of red banknotes from my backpack and handed it to him.
Tang Quan was startled and immediately said: "Master, take it back quickly, you can't do this!"
"There is nothing that can't be done. You are the housekeeper of the Luo family. Didn't you take care of the household expenses in the past?" I paused and then said: "During this period, we have paid for all the expenses, as well as Qianqian's tribute from the three animals, and also I have to let you worry about it.”
Tang Quan's eyes turned red again, and he whispered: "Qianqian is so lucky after all. If she is still alive, Master, you are so good to her, I don't know how happy she must be."
"Uncle Tang, burn some incense and pay good tribute. If she has passed the boundary of the City God's Temple, the incense, candles, and money will be her belongings. She will not be bullied down there. If she had not left, she would still have followed the incense. ." I replied with a sigh.
Tang Quan nodded heavily.
After that, I didn't say anything more, and Tang Quan didn't ask any more questions. He cleaned up the east room for me to rest, and then went to buy vegetables and cook.
I took out all the gifts from the box and backpack, placed them in an orderly manner, and then took out a circle of black and red string and a palm-sized jar.
The Tang family's old house is not clean.
It has been ten years, precisely because this place has been so clean, almost spotless.
Cleanliness on the surface often indicates dirtiness in the shadows.
