Now when I look at this photo in the shrine, my feelings are completely different.
Last time I just thought this man looked so upright, but now that I know his backstory, I feel a little pitiful about him, like a tragic character in a play.
A hero has no hatred, only his end.
Li Xiaoyu came to burn incense with an extremely pious and solemn attitude. He first worshiped the god holding the big sword, and then worshiped his eldest brother.
"Brother, please help Li Zhen find a good family, help Huizhen get through this difficult time, and hope Ling Zhen is healthy and happy every day."
Lu Ran glanced at him. In this wish, Li Xiaoyu was the only one who did not take care of himself.
Lingzhen was clamoring to offer incense, but Li Xiaoyu seemed to be very used to it. He lit an incense stick and handed it to her, then lifted her up and asked her to worship as well.
"Brother, today is the fourth sister's birthday. I will help you eat your share of the cake. You should be well over there."
Lu Ran couldn't bear to see such a scene and went to the corridor to wait alone.
A hero has no hatred. How can such a hero have no hatred?
…
The three of them packed their things and prepared to go to the hospital to celebrate Li Zhen's birthday.
Lu Ran took Lingzhen into the lobby, but Li Xiaoyu said that his whereabouts could not be exposed and he took a secret route. The three agreed to meet at a street intersection in front of Shuangxi Building.
Unable to wait for a long time, Li Xiaoyu drove a car and parked on the side of the road.
Lingzhen was so excited that she climbed up and down the back seat of the car, saying that she had never been in a car since her eldest brother passed away.
"Did you buy it?" Lu Ran clenched his fists again.
"I borrowed it." Li Xiaoyu quickly denied.
…
The three of them drove straight to the hospital.
Santa Maria Hospital.
Santa Maria is a person's name, and her statue stands on the white door of the hospital.
In Lu Ran's opinion, this statue is somewhat similar to the style of Zhennan Qibei, which is the country of Huihuan.
But Li Xiaoyu told him that Santa Maria is some sort of Madonna for the people of Country A, and it has nothing to do with our Lao Guang.
Li Xiaoyu was familiar with this hospital and went straight to room 8 on the fourth floor.
But the way was blocked by a slovenly little Taoist priest who was playing cards with some real detectives at the door of the room.
Fortunately, Li Xiaoyu was also a Hong Sheng straw sandal, not an unknown person. The two real detectives greeted him, and Lu Ran and Ling Zhen caught up again, so the two did not fight.
"Sister Lizhen is asleep, please don't disturb her."
What the little Taoist priest Guanying did at this time can be described by a classic gun port song - "The Flower Protector."
"I'll go in and take a look. I'll be quiet."
Lingzhen came out from behind Lu Ran and Li Xiaoyu. She was particularly well-behaved today.
"Ah, what a... lovely sister." Guan Ying then released his grip on the door handle, and then said to the other two people: "You two, go to the corridor and have a rest."
Then, he stared intently at Ling Zhen as he entered the ward, then turned back to continue playing cards with the three true detectives who had changed classes.
Li Xiaoyu rolled up his sleeves and said to Lu Ran: "Don't stop me, let me teach him a lesson!"
Lu Ran frowned, "Li really needs to rest. How about we find a place to chat first. I have something to ask you."
Li Xiaoyu was a little afraid of Lu Ran. He groaned and pointed upward with a finger, "Okay, let's go to the rooftop?"
Hearing the word "rooftop", Guanying turned around and threw the cards in his hand, "Let's go, I'll go too."
…
Night is approaching.
The three of them were sitting in a row on the rooftop of the hospital, along the edge of the floor.
In front of you is Victoria Harbor and behind you are the mountains.
Pedestrians and cars are constantly passing by, and it’s time to return home in a hurry.
Lu Ran told Li Xiaoyu the doubts about the people who came last night.
Li Xiaoyu listened with surprise all the way, and then he kept cursing, saying that this group of people was the most unloyal. Several people did not show their faces when the eldest brother died, but now they all appear here. It is really suspicious.
Moreover, the situation at the secret door is very tense at the moment, and a war is about to break out. Each of them has to take great risks when traveling, which shows the importance of this matter.
Li Xiaoyu's view has not changed. He believes that this is just a "bitter ploy" negotiated between Yizhen Baihao or Baihao and other forces. Baihao has been making great noise in the past two years and wants to cross the river and dominate the gun port. , so there is nothing he can't do.
Lu Ran and Guan Ying had similar views, but they believed that this matter might not be a simple secret door struggle, but might involve some more mysterious existence. The key to the problem was the baggage in the hands of the three young masters at that time. What is the white powder in the baggage, and where has this baggage gone now.
The white powder, Li Xiaoyu insisted, was a psychoactive tablet, and the quantity was huge, which coincided with the batch of goods that was lost in Hong Shengmen last month.
As for where the baggage is, the three of them agreed that as the true detective on the case, Lei Luo must know its final destination.
At this point, Lu Ran suddenly remembered something and turned back to the ward. Fortunately, the white powder like flesh that he found under Huizhen last night was still in the corner of the window sill.
He quickly took it up for Li Xiaoyu to check, although Lu Ran was not sure that the powder was the same as the powder he saw at Longji Tea Stall that night.
Something that can at least confirm whether these powders are psychoactive tablets.
Unexpectedly, Li Dayu wiped some of it and tasted it in his mouth. He said that it was not a mental illusion, but he could not tell what it was.
At this time, Guanying saw it in his eyes, took it over, looked at it carefully, and suddenly slapped his thigh, I knew what it was, it was red ash.
Then, when the other two people looked surprised, Guan Ying introduced that he had seen similar things when he was sorting out his master's belongings. The master left a small gourd bottle with some of these things in it. He didn't know what it was at first, but it wasn't until one day when he read an ancient book that introduced elixir refining in detail that he realized that these pearl powder-like things were elixir ash, which was the dregs left after refining elixir.
Lu Ran's eyes lit up, "Then where are these things now?"
Guanying nodded, "After Master passed away, I buried all his things with him in the back mountain of Qingyun Temple."
Lu Ran asked again, "Did your master leave any other strange things?"
Guanying thought for a moment, "If you put it this way, there are indeed a few strange things, but I buried them all together."
"Then let's go tomorrow..." Lu Ran hesitated.
"He wants to say that tomorrow we will dig your master's grave and dig out these things!" Li Xiaoyu looked excited, and then asked Guanying, "Did your master die in the Baihao Casino two months ago?" That old Taoist priest?"
"How do you know?" Guanying's face suddenly darkened.
