you are my Destiny

Chapter 12 The Missing Mysterious Letter From Home

The dusty page of Zhang Xianzhong's family letter was found in a farmer's home in the outer suburbs.In fact, it is not random that Fu Tinglan came here in the past few years, but she found out that Zhang Xianzhong is from Barnes & Noble, and she hid in the antique street of Barnes & Noble, just to find out all the clues about Zhang Xianzhong, Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, she did not stop looking for the possibility of breaking the curse.

Rather than saying that this important clue was touched by herself, it is better to say that someone deliberately guided her to come.Just a week ago, Fu Tinglan received a strange letter, and there was only one line in the letter:

Zhang Xianzhong's family letter is now in the home of Hei Fugui, a farmer in Kunluo County.

It was a very delicate creamy white stationery, with finely printed fonts, and between the lines revealed that the person who sent the letter was well aware of Fu Tinglan's actions and purpose.

This kind of being followed, or monitored, Fu Tinglan has become accustomed to. For nearly a hundred years, a pair of huge and illusory eyes have been closely watching her every move, and she just escaped from the last stop, it is very clear. It was told that she never escaped from those eyes.She didn't know what kind of bet could make one or a group of people bet on her for nearly a hundred years, and what was the ultimate goal of the manipulator. She had thought about it for countless years and guessed about various possibilities, but she couldn't find it. A theory that can be explained, and described in her mind becomes more and more absurd.For a person who never had the joy of victory, her fighting spirit gradually collapsed. Apart from the heart-piercing pain of losing her family, the terrible mental fatigue, with the passage of time, her face gradually lost all the afterglow of the past. , only indifference remained, and even the occasional depression was hard to see.Because of this, she is more cautious. Although she hopes to turn a passive process into an active counterattack, she can only carefully look for opportunities. If she can catch the man behind the scenes who is calculating and calculating, even if it is only once If there is a very small chance, she will try her best and see clearly, who is going to tease other people's lives like this, she must tear that person to pieces, even if they die together.

Maybe, just maybe, the distance she really came into contact with the truth is getting closer this time, and she will soon find out the secret of this ancient coin that has cursed her for nearly a hundred years. She has a heart palpitation that she has never felt before. When recording this location in the diary, I specially marked it with a colored pen, probably this is a manifestation of a person who is very sure of her intuition. During the entire investigation process, she recorded it everywhere.

It is very deep in the mountains, and there are only scattered villages in the whole area, separated by long land, surrounded by hundreds of village households.Under Chen Siyuan's arrangement, the group waited here a few days ago, saw Chen Siyuan and Fu Tinglan, guided them to a location close to their destination, and then hid in the surroundings.

The black rich man known as the descendant of Zhang Xianzhong lives here closest to a small river. The outside of the house is covered with moss, which reaches the waist of an adult.He is a short, almost scrawny, middle-aged man, but he is amiable, familiar with the local situation, and good at talking.The reason why Hei Fugui's surname is Hei is because he is a descendant of Zhang Xianzhong's mother, and he warmly invited Fu Tinglan and Chen Siyuan in for a cup of ancient tea, which is of course expected.

Hei Fugui is very good at talking, he is a seemingly free and easy veteran, he took out the best tea set and tea treats, and expressed some meanings in a roundabout way.

"Yes, this incident happened very strangely. Our area is very remote. In fact, no one came. Recently, it seems that the threshold has been stepped down. If it wasn't because Mr. Chen was the first to contact me, I would have accepted it. Deposit, there may be a better price, I don't want to sell the things handed down by our ancestors, I wanted to leave it to our Heiwazi."

"I'll double the price for you. I hope the matter can be settled today. Before that, I need to inspect things." Chen Siyuan said.

"It couldn't be better, but Mr. Chen, you know that I don't mean it, but after all, our wife is the housekeeper, so it's easier for me to explain, after all, I don't have any more income now."

Hei Fugui smiled, opened a wooden board at the head of the bed, there was a hidden compartment inside, and took out a small blackened box.However, beads of sweat could be seen on his forehead. With great effort, the whole bed was turned upside down, but the letter from home he mentioned was not found.

"Lianxiu!" Hei Fugui shouted, "Lianxiu..."

Chen Siyuan clearly saw the disappointment on Fu Tinglan's face, that expression was very exhausted, and he was helpless.In the normal progress of things, it is often the case. When someone starts to create obstacles, people are still deliberately looking forward to the turning point after that, but the result has already been formatted.

Before the words were finished, a middle-aged woman walked into the room at the door. She was wearing the same plain clothes, a pair of baggy brown checked trousers, and a gray vest on the upper body. There are wrinkles of dust marks on the face, and there are many spots on the face. Although the figure is a little fat, but the movements are very sensitive. It can be seen that he is a very assertive person, showing a dissatisfied expression, and pressing the package with the palm of his hand. .

Sure enough, it didn't go as smoothly as expected. Heifugui's lover Lianxiu looked sad, and kept looking at them with unfriendly eyes. Then she lowered her eyelids and was unwilling to take out the letter. It was difficult even to take a look. .

Therefore, Fu Tinglan and Chen Siyuan became passive tenants of this ancient village that night.

It was a cold night in early spring, Chen Siyuan specially asked Hei Fugui to add a handful of firewood to the stove, a thick mist filled the air, they lit a lamp, and the lamp shone on a small wooden table On the night, Fu Tinglan kept silently flipping through the diary in her hand, recording something, while Chen Siyuan stayed quietly, staring at the fire.

Fu Tinglan didn't remember how she spent that night, she only remembered that Chen Siyuan stayed in the house and served him dinner and a cup of coffee. After the meal, she fell into a dizzy sleep until dawn.

At dawn, Chen Siyuan was no longer by my side. Fu Tinglan turned on the phone and looked through the records, but did not see any contact information with her. Her fingers stopped on my profile picture, and she stroked it for a while, showing an affectionate and powerless expression .

"Mom will settle everything before leaving, as long as you are well."

The unfriendly woman knocked on the window and pointed her finger in the direction of Fu Tinglan's door. Fu Tinglan walked over and found a breakfast on the floor at the door, and the lunch that followed was also placed at the door in the same way.During this period, a boy with the same dark skin appeared in front of the window and looked at Fu Tinglan curiously. The difference was that the clothes on this boy were brand new, and even somewhat incompatible with the rural environment. Fu Tinglan did not treat these people To cover up, he did not wear the disguised hat again, and after the boy was called away by the woman, he did not appear in front of the window again.

She was not in a hurry to go out, because she knew very well that there was nothing she could do at the moment, and she was very concerned about the woman's strange eyes.Fu Tinglan tried to use her own ability to touch the items in the room, but found nothing. Such a clean approach made it impossible for her to find any flaws, which was the same as when she was artificially blocked every time she searched for these clues.Who is the person who tried so hard to lure her here? She knows that only through calm observation can she catch those impossible opportunities.

There is a half wall between this house and the outside, Fu Tinglan can't see the things outside, after lunch, she finally sees Chen Siyuan's figure at the window, talking to Hei Fugui, and sees Fu Tinglan Looking at them, the two suddenly entered Fu Tinglan's living room together.

"Mr. Fu."

Chen Siyuan's face was a bit dull, and he held a brown-black bamboo paper in his hand and handed it to Fu Tinglan.

Fu Tinglan was a little nervous, and took the letter that looked long-lived, but when she touched it, complete disappointment appeared on her face.She yelled loudly as if she hated herself, hopeful and disappointed, as if she had vented her anger for a hundred years, and then all she could do was cry in a low voice. It seems that this time she interrupted the clue again, and returned with nothing.

Hei Fugui showed his sharp and thin face, and tried his best to explain the ins and outs of the matter in dialect, although it had nothing to do with Fu Tinglan's concerns.

It turned out that Hei Fugui's lover needed money for the children to go to school. Someone gave her a sum of money recently, and she secretly sold the ancestral letter.Since Hei Fugui received Chen Siyuan's deposit before, she has been concealing this matter. As for who was the first to buy the letter, it is not known why he went out of his way to create a fake letter.

"Mr. Chen, I didn't know that my wife would do such a thing...I'll refund the money to you, can you not blame me..."

Hei Fugui spoke an incomprehensible dialect, and then came the woman's high-pitched and piercing voice.

"It's not because of them, why should we suffer this crime."

The sun had already started to set, and a red light spot hung in the distant sky like an open wound. Several attendants stood behind Chen Siyuan, making the room a bit stuffy, and there were also several people standing in the yard outside the window.These are Chen Siyuan's privately raised assistants for Fu Tinglan. Probably because of Chen Siyuan's summons, these people all appeared near the farmer's house surnamed Hei, and several off-road vehicles were blocking the country alley.

"Mr. Fu, I have sent people to search for the people and vehicles that have been here in the past few days. The clues will not be broken. After all, the current Skynet equipment is different from the past. Before it is dark, let's go back How about Bano?"

While comforting Fu Tinglan, Chen Siyuan handed him a cold look, the woman finally became quiet under Hei Fugui's stop.After a long time, the boy who had appeared by the window came in from the yard.

"Don't embarrass my parents, I can say those things silently."

According to her mother's diary, even she rarely saw Chen Siyuan's ugly expression on that day, and it was at that time that it appeared on his face.

In the so-called family letter, there were only a few words:
Zhang Xianzhong, a native of Dingbiandong, Shaanxi today.The family was poor, and he once captured Kuaishou in Yan'an Prefecture, and then went to the side camp.In the third year of Chongzhen, droughts and famines continued in northern Shaanxi, and farmers rioted one after another.In October of that year, Wang Jiayin, the leader of the peasant army, occupied Fugu and broke the river.Xianzhong led the peasants of Mizhi Eighteen Villages to respond, calling himself the Eight Great Kings and known as "Yellow Tiger".In the following year, Xianzhong became the leader of the 36th Battalion of the Peasant Army and moved to Shaanxi and Henan.In the eighth year, the northern Anhui was marched eastward, with more than [-] people.In the ninth year, Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, was captured and killed, and the first army of Xianzhong was said to be the strongest.In the autumn of the same year, the Xianzhongyi Army attacked Xiangfan, Hubei Province from Junxian County, Hubei Province, together with Ma Shouying, the old Huihui, and joined forces with Luo Rucai, Liu Guoneng and others to go east, and joined forces with He Yilong and He Jin, who had long occupied Yingshan and Huoshan Mountains in Anhui Province, and moved to Huaihe. Positive.
When the boy came out silently, he drew a pattern of a copper coin on the bottom of the paper, which was where the signature was signed. This made Fu Ting Lang pause for a moment, and then he controlled his breathing, still letting out a soft sigh.

"After hiding for 100 years, they finally found out, right? Chen Siyuan?"

Chen Siyuan's eyes flickered for a moment, "Mr. Fu." He could probably understand Fu Tinglan's meaning, that letter from home was fake, and their long journey this time wasted time, and the clues were broken again.

"By the way, the uncle who took the letter asked me to tell you that Fu Ruibai's 25th birthday is coming, and you, the time is approaching, everything should be over." The boy seemed to have done all this specially, even his expression It was reproduced vividly and vividly, and these facts will lead to more self-defeating doubts, but Fu Tinglan did not put away her pride, and seemed to have prepared for this result long ago, after all, she has experienced such things too many times As a result, no matter which temptation was prepared or unprepared, the whole broken details finally made her understand the fact that she could not escape the whole incident.

Fu Tinglan got up from the armchair she was sitting on, her cold expression was menacing, "Of course I remember that day, and life has gone through so long, it is always more adventurous than any daring imagination. Please tell him , I would take the liberty to break through this hurdle, no matter who it is for!"

Fu Tinglan put on her veil and scanned all the objects and people in the room, fixed her meaningful eyes on Chen Siyuan, "Let's go back."

Chen Siyuan heaved a sigh of relief after watching Fu Tinglan push the door and walk into the car, but his physical discomfort struck again, he covered his temples with his hands, his feet were a little unsteady, even so, he followed Fu Tinglan quickly and eagerly. Behind Ting Lan, instead of being as polite as before, he slumped down beside the car. He glanced at his watch and it showed [-]:[-]. Then he tried to open the car door and took out a bottle from the glove box of the passenger seat. A white medicine bottle without a label. After swallowing the medicine, Chen Siyuan sat in the cab, leaned on the seat sadly, with his head lowered on his chest, holding the medicine bottle tightly with both hands.In the rearview mirror, Fu Tinglan was staring at the courtyard of Heifugui, and he turned his head to look at the farmer's house with lights on. Although the lights in those few rooms were not bright, but occasionally a few black silhouettes passed by, Quickly and eagerly pacing up and down the house, it is obvious that they are not just people in the family.

This is the whole process of going to the farmer's house with Chen Siyuan to find clues recorded by my mother. The farmer's house in her notes, the faint lights, the master surnamed Hei, the unkind mistress, and the boy with a super memory, all left me I was deeply impressed, but the meaning of their appearance seemed to be cut off with this clue, and it was not mentioned in the diary content. I really need some time to sort out the text in that book, maybe I can sort it out more clearly.
