In the evening, in addition to the director of the security department, those who came to the tree house also had Sun Heping, the head guard who came to report automatically after receiving a message from Xiaoshan.
The Director of Security briefly reported the situation: "That milk tea shop is run by the Feng family, and we are already keeping an eye on them. This guy was sent by the Wu family to find you. He followed the Feng family and came here. We are already here. I used reasonable reasons to justify the spies in the immigration, but there are too few people I can trust, so it takes time."
Sun Heping was fully aware of the matter of transforming people, so he first said: "You work according to your plan. I will take over Wu Chudong's affairs. How about I go to the Security Department to handle the handover later?"
Bai Zhi nodded, and the head of the security department stood up and left. Bai Zhi went to the kitchen to get a bottle of her handmade flower and fruit tea and gave it to the director of the security department. Sun Heping performed his duties as a bodyguard and escorted the director out.
Bai Zhi relayed the video she took of the park conversation on the big screen on the wall of the living room. After the video was finished, Sun Heping didn't even come back.
Bai Zhi knew that Sun Heping left space for the two of them to talk privately, and she really wanted to have an explanation with Zhang Tianzhao. She organized her words and started from the beginning: "When we lived in a cave with a pool below, Wu Chudong went to find He passed me by, picked up all the coordinate crystals I left outside to mark and returned them to me, and said that he could find me with that thing and so could others. At that time, I thought he was talking about Wang Chengpeng, and I was angry and moved at the same time. He He also said goodbye and hoped that we could still be friends. I felt that I probably wouldn’t see him again, so I gave him a wristband and two wrist bags.”
Zhang Tianzhao listened quietly and said nothing.
"The third brother also met him when he was running away with the children. He left his contact information for the third brother and said that if there was no place to go, he would go to him. The third brother once discussed with me that between the Feng family and the Ji family It's too dangerous to maintain a balance, so it's better to go to Wu Chudong. I gave up the idea of Third Brother to go to him." Bai Zhi rubbed her fingers, "Actually, I don't want to deal with him. But when something happens to him, it's because of me that he's in trouble. , I want to save him."
"I understand how you feel." Zhang Tiandian said and nodded, "Of course I want to save him, I will go."
Bai Zhi huddled in the corner of the sofa, hugging her knees and huddled up, "I want to solve it myself."
"Can't we all interfere? I am your husband and they are your partners."
"The Kunwu family is my relative. If I go, I will have to answer to the third brother whatever happens."
"The gang territory has been closed, so you have no place to hide when you are in danger."
"There is also a connection between Wu Chudong and me. I can find him on the same planet. Coupled with Sun Heping's positioning, I don't need a coordinate crystal for teleportation. Moreover, I have to come to an end with the Wu family." Bai Zhi showed a relaxed expression Smiling, "In case I fail, I still have a golden finger for me. I beg you to save me. You must come, and remember to exchange that deceitful warp speed ship for me."
"Okay. You go before Yue Dongting wakes up. When he wakes up, I will tell my friends what you were doing." Zhang Tianzhao hugged Bai Zhi, "If you can't solve it yourself, ask for help, whether it's Ji Sen or the Feng family. , look for whoever is closest. You should leave now, I'm afraid I will change my mind and won't let you go after a while."
"Yes. I love you." Bai Zhi took the initiative to ask for a kiss, "I will be back soon, and my Ji Lei Shan will be transformed for me."
"I understand. Sun Heping is waiting at the teleportation array. You can go ahead." Zhang Tianzhao pushed her away, "I will do the finishing work here."
Bai Zhi kissed Mi San on the forehead, turned around and hugged Zhang Tianzhao again, and teleported to the teleportation array.
Sun Heping put out the butt of his cigarette. He didn't see Zhang Tianzhao and asked in surprise: "Just the two of us?"
Bai Zhi nodded and activated the teleportation array. "Go and make a copy of the interrogation materials. We don't need witnesses. Zhang Tianzhao will take care of the rest. I'll wait for you outside the teleportation array on the way to the immigration base."
"Can you explain the story between you and Boss Wu? Tell me what you can tell." Sun Heping looked up at the sky. The actual distance between Luoyang Star and Yangzhou Star was very far, and the teleportation array could reach them in a few seconds. Every time he was teleported, he felt very strange.
There is a lot of turbulence near Luoyang Star. The changes in the magnetic field caused by the energy flow make the night sky full of beautiful auroras. The neon lights of the city in the distance are flashing and the bustling lights are connected. One after another, super large flying cars flew out from another large teleportation array platform a few kilometers away and flew towards the brightly lit immigration reception area.
Bai Zhi looked at the speeding cars full of immigrants and whispered: "The Gu family and the Wu family are both members of the Kunwu family, and they are related by blood. Wu Chudong and my third brother have a very good relationship. They have left their contact information for me before. The third brother defected to him. If my third brother knew about this, he would definitely save him. The clan rule of the Kunwu clan is intra-clan marriage, and those who marry outsiders are no longer Kunwu clan. I will go and take Wu Chudong Once you get it out, what else can you do. The third brother is the head of the Gu family, so there is a high possibility that he will be involved in saving others. "
"That's right, even if your master doesn't care about things, you still have to consider their feelings. It's more appropriate to pretend not to know as the son-in-law of the Gu family. If you cause trouble, you won't be able to run away. Anyway, we have prepared a lot of things to throw away. The garbage that goes out can definitely bring us back." Sun Heping smiled, "Since there is no danger to my life, I won't say hello to my couple. I will go get the information and get some equipment."
Sun Heping came back half an hour later. In addition to interrogation records and related information, they also obtained second-hand refugee clothes and two masks that had the same effect as plastic surgery. A few hours later, they occupied a small private room in a crowded passenger spacecraft and flew to Jutao, where the Wu family lived.
Bai Zhi's mask is that of a girl with dark skin, freckles under her eyes and on the bridge of her nose, and her eye makeup is a little muddy. In order to fix the mask and look more like her, Bai Zhi had her ears pierced due to heavy bleeding. She wore a pair of exaggeratedly large earrings, and her clothes were even more gaudy and exaggerated.
"What a terrible dress. It caused hundreds of thousands of damage to my soul. I applied for double the business trip allowance." Sun Heping rubbed his eyes. In fact, his own image was not much better. He was wearing ear studs. Her hair was combed like a hedgehog, the vest in her leather jacket was patterned with a red-lipped witch, and there was a string of thorn-like metal chains hanging around her neck. The two squatted together and looked toward each other, describing them as performance artists. Objectively speaking, their aesthetics were different from ordinary people's.
"Both each other, I'll give you a salary increase when you get back." Bai Zhi proudly took a few selfies. Observing from multiple angles, she felt that they were not the same as Feng Lizhi. She picked a screen saver set as Xin Zhi Nao and connected it. Download all kinds of magical music from the nearest star network.
"Okay, the surveillance is under control. You can start working." Sun Heping wiped his face, "I brought a few people with me. Most of the technical work can be done by them. Do you want to meet me when you get there? ?”
"No." Bai Zhi took out her commonly used smart computer to read the information, "I hope as few people know as possible."
Jutaoxing is located in the middle of several small noble fiefdoms, and the transportation is very convenient. As a habitable planet with a history of more than 20,000 years of human habitation, its resources are basically exhausted, and its main economic income comes from tourism. Although the war has greatly reduced the tourism industry in Jutao, there are still many people traveling to Jutao.
While Bai Zhi was browsing various styles of small towns and ancient city promotional videos, she accidentally turned to a promotional video of a small town that resembled a water town in the south of the Yangtze River in China, and was stunned. Sun Heping turned his head to take a look at it warily and said, "This place looks like a rural area in Zhejiang."
"It's not the same, it's the same. Even one of these stone piers is half an inch higher than the others." Bai Zhi pushed down with her fingers and found the name of the town, which was written in the standard imperial script, Yungen.
"What is the name of this place on Earth?"
"Huaili, Wu Chudong's hometown is Huaili, not far from my hometown of Donghai." Bai Zhi clicked on Yungen's map and smiled, "My third brother went there to play when he was a child, and he told me about the water in Huaili River. Those stone piers." After Bai Zhi said that, she suddenly entered the word "East China Sea" to search, and soon a promotional video for a seaside town popped up. The camera swayed between the mountains and the sea, and a two-story building After showing her face, Bai Zhi zoomed in and smiled bitterly. Their old house looked like this. Even the bamboo forest outside the courtyard wall is similar. Her grandfather never mentioned it, but he was probably still homesick. What was her brother thinking when he established the Donghai base?
It's so obvious that it's not a trap. Bai Zhi said decisively: "Check the routes available at these two scenic spots."
Sun Heping searched and found nearly a hundred routes. There were only a few transportation companies identified based on these routes. When searching the website, it was found that one company actually had a Haoxing brand Trojan in its base station. The next work was much more enjoyable. After upgrading the Trojan and setting up a few keyword searches, Bai Zhi quickly deduced from the travel records of the staff member named Wu that the real place where the Wu family lived was Ye Gencheng.
Yegencheng is an ancient city built on a mountain with a population of over 10 million. It is one of the most popular attractions in Taoxing. Bai Zhi randomly selected a popular travel route involving Ye Gencheng and asked Sun Heping to sign up for the tour. A few days later, they set foot on Ye Gen's land among a group of tourists from the Zhen family fiefdom and checked into the hotel arranged for them by the travel company.
In the evening, free time, two girls from the same tour group, Zhen Ling and Ning Meila Sun, went out for dinner.
"The locals love to go to that restaurant to eat. We have already booked a table, but we can only walk through their old town to get there. We two girls are a little scared. Sun Jingshan, just help us and come with us Go." Zhen Ling begged softly.
Zhenling is not a very good-looking girl, but when she smiles, her nose is slightly wrinkled and charming.
Sun Heping and Bai Zhi were set up as brother and sister. When traveling and meeting a cute girl, it is a young man's duty to try his best to hook up with her. Sun Heping immediately agreed to treat him to the meal, and took Zhen Ling's little hand and asked him to lead the way. Another girl, Ning Mei, was two steps behind and walked side by side with Bai Zhi without saying a word. Bai Zhi smiled as she listened to Sun Heping and Zhen Ling's half-truth and half-false flirting in front of them. Like all ordinary tourists, they held up their cameras wherever they went and took pictures of any slightly unique scenery they saw.
The old town of Yegen is basically full of old houses. The decadent atmosphere of the declining old town is like the weeds growing in the cracks of the damaged foundation stones on the roadside. A little bit here and a little bit there. If you don’t pay attention, they will become one at the corner of the slope. . There were not many pedestrians in the evening. The heels of Ning Mei's shoes tapped lightly on the stone road, and the light and melodious footsteps seemed to take people through time.
The red and big star hangs half on the roof of the densely packed two- and three-story wooden buildings. The light is warm and desolate. Bai Zhi stood on the side of the upward slope to take pictures of the sunset, looking at the yellowish lights that lit up one after another in the camera. Thinking of Zhang Tianzhao and the children, her heart felt sour and filled, and she almost shed tears.
Ning Mei stood quietly behind Bai Zhi, looking at Bai Zhi's viewfinder, and said softly: "Obviously, I am only half a meter away from you, but the scenery I see with my eyes is so ordinary, how come it is so beautiful in your viewfinder."
"It's just a little trick to use light." When Bai Zhi was talking, she noticed that Sun Heping had gone far away. She put away the camera and said, "They have gone far away."
A tall, thin boy ran out of a small department store more than ten meters away, holding two unopened bottles of drinks and handing them over, "I've been watching you for a long time, can you let me see the video you took? "
"Sorry." Bai Zhi pulled Ning Mei away from the big boy.
When she reached the corner of the ramp, Ning Mei looked back and said in a gossipy tone that was completely inconsistent with her calm appearance: "The handsome guy is coming after me."
No matter what the reason is, it’s embarrassing to be talked to by a kid who looks about the same age as your own son, okay? Bai Zhi smiled and shook her head. In fact, she was used to being talked to. This time, she was still embarrassed when she thought about her son. She didn't know what was wrong with her.
Ning Mei blinked at Bai Zhi and said, "You are dressed like this and you have suitors. You should dress more normally next time. It hurts your eyes too much."
Bai Zhi looked at the appalling yellow-green stockings, the wide-leg pants that showed her short legs, and the white tight-fitting top decorated with sequins, and said insincerely: "It's okay."
"A single item is already terrible, but putting them all together is a disaster." Ning Mei suddenly pursed her lips and returned to indifference.
The big boy ran past Bai Zhi, turned around, and stepped back face to face with Bai Zhi, smiling shyly.
To be honest, the big boy is a handsome young man with a clear outline. Although his facial features look a bit plain together, his eyebrows are dark and thick, and his eyes are clear and lively. They are typical... Wu Chudong's eyes.
Bai Zhi searched for fragments about Wu Chudong from the depths of her memory. She quickly remembered that in the summer when she was in the sixth grade of elementary school, there was a boy with such eyes. He was staring at her and Bai Wei's tips and they caught him. His smile was like this, shy and bold. At that time, she recognized people based on their faces, but the boys who were following them at that time were all Bai Wei's suitors. She was not interested in boys, so she directly classified the boy as her sister's suitor. I never looked at the event’s backdrop again.
Now the eyes were back again, stubbornly placed one meter away from her. The damn thing is, when she saw these eyes, she felt almost the same as when she saw Mining, and what filled her heart was maternal love.
"Who is your father?" Bai Zhi asked out of nowhere. After asking, she realized that her voice was shaking badly.
"Wu Chudong." The big boy's smiling face instantly collapsed, "Do you know my dad?"
Bai Zhi nodded, "Ning Mei, please tell my brother that I met my friend's family and I won't be having dinner."
Ning Mei hesitated for a moment and agreed to leave first.
"How old are you?" Bai Zhi's tone of voice was so gentle that she was surprised. In fact, she really wanted to scratch the wall. She had only kissed his father once. How could she feel like she was the mother of this child? She felt that she must always go out before the confinement period was finished, and she thought something was wrong.
"Eighteen years old. Why do you ask? If you want to find my father, don't ask me. I haven't seen him in two years. I don't know where he is." The young man could be angry, but he still stood considerately. On the outside side, Bai Zhi was separated from the two noisy children.
"your mom……"
"I couldn't stand my father's philanthropy, so I left when I was very young. Women who want to be my stepmother are lined up from the south gate to the north gate. You don't want to be my stepmother too, right?" The young man kicked hard with his sneaker-wearing feet. The road guard said angrily: "You even attack such a young girl, you stallion!"
Bai Zhi unconsciously stretched out her hand, trying to comfort the suddenly angry child. Halfway through her hand, she realized something was wrong and said with a smile, "What is that of yours? It looks delicious."
The boy handed over the drink bottle that he was holding tightly. Bai Zhi's fingertips rested on the back of the boy's hand, and the strange feeling of blood connection jumped out, and the boy was shocked. Bai Zhi looked at the boy blankly and asked softly: "Do you feel it?"
"I...what does this feel like?" the young man asked blankly.
"Squat down." Bai Zhi put the drink aside.
The young man squatted down obediently, and Bai Zhi opened her arms to hold him in her arms, "The hug of a loved one, this is how I feel when I hug my son."
The young man's expression was very awkward, he was neither reluctant nor obsessed, but he did not break away from Bai Zhi's arms and murmured: "I... my mother never hugged me like this... neither did my father. You don't look like me at all." People with kids.”
Bai Zhi let him go and said with a smile, "I'm just a few years younger than your father. Take me to a place where I won't be disturbed. I'll bring some snacks and we can chat while having dinner."
"Yeah." The young man picked up the drink bottle, "I just started chatting with you... I saw your back and wanted to get closer to you. I thought I fell in love at first sight..."
"That's not love at first sight." Bai Zhi smiled and held his arm. "It's just a natural reaction when meeting a relative. Let's do a test later to see what kind of relatives we are."
The boy took Bai Zhi to an ordinary one-floor and one-basement residence nearby. The living room downstairs was very clean and seemed deserted. The bookshelf next to the window sill was filled with paper books. Bai Zhi took out one and read it. It was a handwritten history of the empire. The handwriting was quite good.
"My father wants me to practice calligraphy. He has many children, and I am the eldest. Others say that my handwriting is good, but he always says that my writing is not good enough, and always uses this as an excuse to deduct my living expenses. But he gave me something to practice calligraphy with. The tools are very special." The boy took out his pencil case from the cabinet, "Look at my pen."
"Let me pluck a hair first." Bai Zhi stood on tiptoe. The young man lowered his head cooperatively and let Bai Zhi pluck a hair with follicles from his head.
Bai Zhi took out the compact genetic detector, dipped the short hair into the test tube with the solution, took out one hair from her head, twisted it into a ball, and stuffed it into the other test tube. She quickly and dexterously put the two test tubes into the card. slot, press the button.
"It's much smaller than what I've seen before." The boy held the stationery box and looked at the instrument as if he was seeing the most novel toy.
"The capacity of the space bag is limited after all, so the things you carry with you will be made as small as possible." Bai Zhi took the stationery box and opened it.
There are pens and writing brushes in the stationery box, and the pen caps of the pens have white six-pointed star patterns. Gu Tianbai owns a pen of this brand and has been using it since high school.
"Each pen tip has a very beautiful pattern, even though it is second-hand..." The boy wanted to emphasize that his father actually loved him very much, but he felt embarrassed at the same time.
"My brother also has a pen like this, and he still uses it. I think your father gave it to him." Bai Zhi laughed, "Your father loves you very much. My brother is your father's best friend. He only gives it to him." He gave you one, and he gave you many, each one as good as the one he gave to my brother."
The young man understood what Bai Zhi meant and laughed happily. Bai Zhi looked around the small room and said, "If you have a heating cooker here, we can have a hot dinner."
"I have a kitchen." The young man put away his pencil case, opened the door of the small compartment under the stairs enthusiastically, and showed Bai Zhi his small kitchen. The kitchen was small and simple, with a stove with a kettle and a heating stove. Bai Zhi used the heating stove to heat a few pieces of roast lamb and two cups of beetroot soup.
When I opened the lid of the soup cup, a gust of cold wind blew over, and the red and white flowers on the windowsill swayed, revealing a little braided head and a pair of timid eyes.
"Brother Mubai, my mother hasn't come back yet. I'm hungry." The little girl's voice was also timid.
Bai Zhi understood the meaning of the word Mu Bai and no longer had the strength to curse. Although she couldn't figure out who the child's biological mother was, she thought he was her son from the name Wu Chudong!
Mu Bai looked at Bai Zhi hesitantly: "The neighbor's little sister, her mother must have forgotten to leave her meal money... Can I give her my soup?"
"That one is a bit spicy with pepper. She might not be able to eat it. I'll heat the porridge again, and you should wash her hands first." Bai Zhi picked up the genetic tester and went into the kitchen. She stuffed the small machine, which was not much bigger than a bowl, into the cabinet. Two bowls of porridge were brought out.
The four or five-year-old girl sat at the small dining table in a reserved manner, with her hands on her knees, and Mu Bai did the same. Bai Zhi opened the lid of the porridge bowl and said: "The sweet one is red bean paste, and the salty one is preserved egg and lean meat porridge."
The little girl stared at the red bean paste, her eyes twinkling. Bai Zhi brought the red bean paste in front of her, took off the spoon on the lid and gave it to her. She touched the big boy's head and said, "Eat it while it's hot. After that, send the children home. The wind is blowing." , it will rain later and it will be cold.”
The little girl looked at Bai Zhi pitifully, as if she didn't want to leave. The sleeveless dress she wore was very short, and her stockings were originally white or pink, but now they were gray, and the holes that had been carefully darned appeared whiter.
Mu Bai touched the little girl's arm and ran upstairs to get a coat and put it on the little girl. His coat was too big for the little girl, and the sleeves fell to the floor. Every time the little girl took a spoonful of porridge, the sleeves dangled.
Bai Zhi remembered that she had bought a coat for Sha Qiao from Fei Ying's family. Because I left in a hurry, the clothes were still in the bracelet and unpacked. Feiying's Shaqiao was taller than this little girl, so the little girl could wear that coat. She found the coat, removed the packaging and labels, shook it and showed it to the little girl, and said softly: "There is a piece of clothing that I have asked me to help find its owner. It just told me that you might be its owner."
The little girl asked in surprise: "Does it say I am its owner?"
Bai Zhi said: "It said that the person who feels warm when wearing it is its owner."
The length of the dark green velvet loose coat reached the little girl's knees. The little girl asked Bai Zhi to tie the belt for her. She squinted her eyes and felt the soft warmth. She smiled sweetly like a little cat being tickled and said, "It's so warm. I He is really its owner."
Bai Zhi rolled up her sleeves to her elbows, took the apron hanging on the kitchen door and tied it around her neck, saying, "The most delicious porridge in the world wants to make a home in your belly."
The big boy lowered his head to drink the soup and gnawed on the steak. The peppered soup seemed too spicy for him, and his eyes were a little red and a little lonely.
Mi Ning had the same expression when her toys were broken by Mi An when she was a child. She was reluctant and helpless. But Mining never gets red-eyed and has never been lonely.
Wu Chudong is really a bastard if he doesn't care about raising such a good child. Bai Zhi felt sour, bitter and astringent in her heart. She knelt down and gestured to the big boy's feet, and said in the same coaxing tone as a child: "There is another pair of shoes that I have asked me to find the owner of. Please tell me you are willing to be its owner."
The big boy's eye circles became even redder, and he said awkwardly: "Can I say I don't want to?"
"Of course not." Bai Zhi proudly took out the shoe box and gave it to him, "It looks so beautiful. I almost fought with another mother to get it."
Mu Bai hugged the shoebox, his face redder than his eye circles, and said, "Thank you."
In just such a short time, the little girl ate two large pieces of barbecue steak and a whole bowl of red bean paste. She let out an earth-shattering burp as her skinny little hands reached for the plate. She raised her face to look at Bai Zhi and begged: "Sister, I want another piece."
Bai Zhi touched her stomach and said with a smile: "I'm super happy that you like to eat the food I made, but your belly is too crowded. Can you let Brother Mubai take you home now?"
The little girl retracted her hand in disappointment and nodded.
"There will be rewards for obedient children." Bai Zhi took out a box of cookies and handed it to her. "If mom comes back in the evening, eat them with her. Eat as many pieces as she says you can. If mom doesn't come back in the evening, you Just think of it as breakfast and lunch tomorrow, okay?”
The little girl nodded happily. Mu Bai picked up the little girl and took her home. Along the way, he whispered to others to rinse their teeth before going to bed and remember to close the doors and windows and wait for her mother to come back. Bai Zhi leaned against the door and watched them turn around the alley. The street lamp at the alley made the shadows of the two children, one big and one small, grow longer.
