Rebirth of the Genius Charlatan

  Beijing Martyrs Cemetery On festivals such as National Day, few people will welcome tomb sweepers, but on this day, a couple of handsome men and women are welcomed. "pure"

  Both of them are dressed in black, and the girl beside the man is dressed in a black dress. She looks young, but she has a solemn expression and a calm pace that is rare at this age. Holding a bunch of white chrysanthemums in her hand, when she was up the steps, she turned her head from time to time and looked at the man beside her, her eyes distressed and a little worried.

  The two walked holding hands. On both sides of the steps, the wind was rustling with grass and trees, and the solemn and lush mood was also bleak. Xia Shao followed Xu Tianyin up the steps, turned a mountain road paved with floral marble slabs, and saw a short step in front of him.

  There are only three steps on the stairs. You can see the winter jasmine blooming on both sides and the white stone tomb in front of you. The coffin is high and placed on eight small steps. It is surrounded by a fence made of white stone on three sides. The tombstone alone is as high as one person. The coffin behind the tombstone needs to look up.

  When I look up, I can see the blue sky.

  This relatively secluded, independent, large-scale mausoleum in the Martyrs Cemetery is where the eldest daughter-in-law of Xu’s family rests.

  Solemn and solemn, but it makes the eyes of those who see it hot.

  Xia Shao felt that Xu Tianyin’s hands were sweating while holding her. In the hot weather in the morning, his hands were worryingly cold. Xia Shao glanced at him worriedly and unconsciously regained his vitality. Xu Tianyin turned his head to look at her, his eyes were like a deep ocean in the sun, dark. But a little light appeared when he looked at her, his lips pressed tightly, holding her hand tightly, and walking up the steps.

  Above the steps, the tall tombstone is studded with photos of a couple. The man's age looks not much different from Xu Tianyin this year, and even his eyebrows are somewhat similar. But the man has a smile on his lips, with some subtle and cultural temperament peculiar to that era, gentle, elegant and generous.

  Xu Tianyin is not particularly like his father, he is more like his mother. His mother is a very beautiful woman, and the black and white photos are fixed in the age of twenty-five and sixty years old, the most beautiful age of a woman who is a mother.

  The woman’s smile is beautiful, gentle and windy, looking at people with her eyes makes her heart soft.

  The cemetery is usually cleaned by people, and the ground is very clean, but the photos of the two are still covered with dust. Xu Tianyin stepped forward and reached out to wipe the photos of his parents. He didn't use paper towels, just wiped gently with his fingers, little by little. Looking from the side, like a surviving son, gently stroked his parents' cheeks.

  Xia Shao lowered her eyes slightly, took a deep breath of mountain breeze, and suppressed the sorrow of her nose. When I raised my eyes, I saw Xu Tianyin retreating. He was still holding her hand. The ring on her hand was cut into pieces by the dappled sunlight falling from the cracks in the branches.

  The man turned his head to look at her with distressing eyes. The emotions that were not well expressed on weekdays became solemn today, "This is Mom and Dad."

  Xia Shao gently nodded, looked at the smiles of the couple on the tombstone, smiled and said softly: "Uncle, auntie."

   "Parents." Xu Tianyin looked at Xia Shao and corrected her.

Xia Shao was startled slightly, then nodded, "Dad, Mom."

  She didn’t make fun and hypocrisy with Xu Tianyin today. He brought her to see his parents. In front of the deceased two elders, the notion of the world can be put aside for the time being, so that today, the wishes of the cherished and the dead can be fulfilled.

  Xia Shao smiled, but she was startled when she looked up. Xu Tianyin looked at her with a slightly startled look, then he turned around and hugged her in his arms. The man's breathing has always been heavy, but now he has become cautious, making the person he is holding also a little bit embarrassed.

  Xia Shao let the flower in his hand be beside him, let Xu Tianyin hold him, listening to his barely audible breathing in the mountain breeze, feeling the heavy heartbeat in his chest, raised his hand distressedly.

  Originally intended to comfort him, but heard his voice.

  "Today is not their anniversary." The man's voice was dull, but Xia Shao was slightly taken aback. But Xu Tianyin's next words made her stunned, "Today is my birthday."

   "..." Xia Shao opened her mouth slightly, unable to speak.

  She never knew the birthday of her brother. It was not that she had not asked about it, but when she asked, he only said that he was not a birthday.

  At that time, Xia Shao didn't know Xu Tianyin's childhood experience, but he could already feel the extraordinary of his life experience. Since he didn't want to say, she didn't ask again, just waiting for the day he wanted to tell her.

  I just didn’t expect that this day will be at this time.

  She only felt that the man was holding her, her voice was hoarse, and her arms trembled slightly. He seldom expresses feelings on weekdays, but at this moment he is a bit hoarse of self-blame and regret, "I said I was going to the amusement park, there was no in China at that time, and they took me to a foreign vacation. The next night, something went wrong."

  The next night?

  Is that the second day of your birthday?

  Xia Shao was shocked, and it was difficult to describe it in words.

  Childhood, there are no children who do not look forward to their birthdays. His parents promised to meet his requirements and take him to the amusement park he likes. What a delightful thing. However, it was this decision to go abroad that made him lose his parents and childhood. This became his nightmare together with the night when he lost his parents, binding him and unable to get out.

  So, his birthday is not.

  In these years, he only came to visit his parents on this day. In his eyes, the death day of his parents is no different from this day.

   "I killed them." The man's voice was hoarse, sounding like a beast's growl.

"It's not your fault. There are many children in the world who make such requests to their parents, and there are many parents who meet their children's requirements. Not everyone will encounter such misfortunes, and the murderer is cruel to blame." Xia Shao felt anguish and patted. Holding the man’s back, his vitality followed his meridians to soothe his emotions, not wanting him to sweat again that day, she asked, "Do you know who the murderer is and what is the purpose?"

  "Foreign terrorist organizations, my first mission is to kill their heads." Xu Tianyin's voice was very low and it was freezing cold.

  Xu Tianyin’s father had already held important positions when he died. The assassination of terrorist organizations had many purposes. Although this incident was not made public in China, it caused tension between the two countries during that time. Finally, out of consideration of national affairs, Xu Tianyin's father was named a martyr, and his parents were allowed to be buried in the cemetery of martyrs. For this incident, the Xu family received a lot of compensation, which is the so-called political interest. But this kind of treatment caused the boy who lost his parents to plant a dark seed because of the murderer's impunity for more than ten years.

  Twelve years later, he went on a mission for the country. Yuanjia is on a narrow road, and his first mission was to assassinate the head of a terrorist organization. That battle made him famous because he completed the impossible task-he not only assassinated the head of a foreign terrorist organization, but also swept the organization's top ranks.

  One person’s task, but an organization is lost. No one knows how he did it, only that the people killed by him died in a terrible state, with a distorted face, and suffered a lot of fear and pain before death.

  From then on, he will complete many tasks that are considered impossible. From then on, his military exploits were so unknown, he was like a shadow living in the dark, and his military exploits were only recorded in the archives.

This kind of life lasted for ten years, until he was awarded the title of Major General by virtue of his military exploits, and until Mr. Xu couldn’t stand it anymore. He didn’t want him to live a life of wandering and dangerous abroad again. He signaled his efforts and let him walk from behind to others. Became the youngest provincial military commander after the founding of the Republic.

  It was from that time that they ran into each other in a bar, and then they discovered the same origin between each other. They met and fell in love. They have gone through four years, and today, they are standing in front of the tombstones of his parents.

  Xia Shao hugs Xu Tianyin. She has never thanked someone like this. She thanked Mr. Xu. If it weren't for the old man's contribution, even if he was awarded the title, with this man's temperament, he was afraid he would still choose to live a dark life. Alone and cold, until the end of the road ahead.

   Fortunately, they met.

   Fortunately, today he was willing to tell her the matter. She believed that speaking it out would make him feel much better. I also firmly believe that from then on, his happiness is her life's pursuit.

  "Brother, let's present a bunch of flowers to the two elders." Xia Shao whispered.

Xu Tianyin was silent for a while before nodding. The two of them held their hands together, placed the bunch of flowers in front of the tombstone, and stepped back and bowed together.

"Parents, you heard me calling so, don't laugh at me." Xia Shao smiled first, her cheeks were slightly pink in the mountain breeze, and the dense branches were dyed, making her look a little delicate, "Don't worry, although After you, I was late for many years, but after that, I will take care of the brother. You know well, bless him to be safe and happy, and I will visit you more with him."

  Although he wanted to say something more sensational, Xia Shao felt that it was enough to say too much.

However, it was these words that made her feel so simple that made the man turn his head to look at her. Above the blue sky, there was a blazing sun shining on his eyes, and there was the ultimate light in the ultimate darkness, and people couldn't help but see it. Empty eyes.

  The man hugged her tightly again, this time longer than before.

  The two did not leave the cemetery until noon. When they left, the man held her hand all the way, as if they were afraid that if they let go, she would be gone.

  Xia Shao smiled, after walking out of the Martyrs Cemetery, there was still a long way down the mountain. The car stopped at the bottom of the mountain, she deliberately didn't go, and smiled: "I'm tired, you carry me."

  Xu Tianyin turned his head and looked at her skirt. Seeing that it was a long skirt, he nodded and knelt down silently. Xia Shao stepped forward with a smile, and put his arms around the man's neck. On the way down the mountain, there will be a pair of young men and women walking slowly by the side of the road. The girl lay on the man's back, holding a flower branch in her hand, smiling and scratching him. The man is not afraid of itching at all, but when he sees that she can have fun, he turns his head to look at her, his eyes soft and a faint smile on his lips.

  This time, the smile did not dissipate for a long time, until it reached the bottom of the mountain.

  At this time, the sun was just right, the sky was blue, it was noon.

  ……

   noon.

  In Xu's house, there is a family dinner.

  This family banquet is set within a red wall, in a beautiful attic with pavilions and pavilions. This red wall blocked the hustle and bustle of tourists outside and the festive atmosphere. In today's Republic, there are only a few places where leaders of the country can live, and the Xu family is one of them.

  The loft faces the wide lake with weeping willows on both sides. The weather is hot at noon. Listening to the chirping of autumn cicadas, the lake breeze blows, and a family dinner, but eating quietly.

  The old man sitting on the main seat, wearing a very plain white Tang shirt, sits in a chair majesticly, eating slowly. This majestic old man is exactly the father of Xu Kangguo Xu.

  The seat next to the left hand of the old man is empty, and his second son Xu Yanshao and his daughter-in-law Hua Fang are under him. Xu Yanshao's figure is a little blessed, but his complexion is ruddy, his temperament is correct, and his brows also have the majesty of being in a high position. At only fifty years old, he is now a member of the Central Committee of the Republic, a provincial and ministerial official. His wife, Hua Fang, is the chief of the archives department of the Supreme Procuratorate.

  The two people are in Xu's house, where the long room is empty, which is beautiful. But even so, Father Xu has extremely high requirements for the status of family members, and he still retains seats in the long room. For banquets like today, although the long room has not been there for many years, there is still a seat next to the left hand of the old man.

  After the second room, it is the third room of the Xu family. It is said that it is a three-bedroom, but in fact it is a married daughter's family. Father Xu’s youngest daughter, Xu Yanying, sounds a bit like a man’s name, but this is exactly what the father requires of his daughter not to lose to a man.

  Xu Yanying is appointed by the Beijing Party. Her husband Liu Zhenghong took the post of deputy secretary of the provincial party committee in the locality. He returns to accompany her father on the holiday every year.

  Only the two-bedroom and three-bedroom Xu family is an absolute political family in the family of the Republic. Family members are at the national, provincial and ministerial levels, and no one can match them.

  What's more, the Xu family has a third generation.

  The third generation sits on the right hand of Mr. Xu, but the first chair is still empty, and in the second chair sits a famous young man. If Xia Shao was here at the moment, he would be surprised if he looked like a 27-year-old man. The five senses of this man are similar to those of Xu Tianyin, but his masculine temperament is obviously more gentle, and there is no coldness between his brows, but the inherent dignity, and he smiles quite handsomely, with a little elegance.

  The man is exactly the only son of the second room of the Xu family, Xu Tianzhe. Xu Tianzhe is Xu Tianyin's cousin, he is two years younger, and he is twenty seven this year. He is the local mayor. The twenty-seven-year-old young mayor is also the best in the Republic and has a bright future.

   Although the ranks of the political and military circles are incomparable, Xu Tianzhe is still a little worse than Xu Tianyin, who is now the commander of the group army with the rank of major general and holds the military power.

   In the seat under Xu Tianzhe's head, which is also the last place in Xu's family, a famous girl sits. The girl was only two years old, and she was still in college, named Liu Lan. Her eyebrows look like her mother Xu Yanying, but Gu Panjian is very arrogant.

   Although Xu’s family is very particular about table manners, they don’t stop talking while eating. It’s just that today, it’s always been dull for many years.

  Tomorrow is the anniversary of the death of Xu’s parents and his wife. The old man is always in a bad mood on this day. Moreover, the Xu family knows that Xu Tianyin will pay homage to his parents on this day, so there are always few people on the day of family reunion.

  Xu’s family is also used to this. On this day of each year, the family eats silently, and no one speaks.

  But this year, someone spoke up.

  This person is Liu Lan.

  "Didn’t my cousin work in the Beijing Military Region? I thought he would come back this year." The three generations of Xu family Ding Buwang are all only children. Although Liu Lan is a foreigner, she is also the granddaughter of Mr. Xu. As the only girl in the family, she is naturally favored and has an unusual status. Therefore, in today's day, her parents dare not speak, but she dared to speak.

  The people at the table were stunned. Liu Zhenghong and Xu Yanying's wife looked at their daughter at the same time, both of them with warnings in their eyes. After warning their daughter, the two went to take aim at the father.

  Elder Xu raised his eyes and glanced at his granddaughter. Although his gaze was majestic, he sighed, "Let's go with him. This is a knot of heart, if you can't solve it, he won't come back."

Seeing that the old man was not angry, Xu Yanying and her husband were relieved. Now that the conversation started, Xu Yanying sighed, "Tianyin, this child, pitiful! The eldest brother and sister-in-law have been away for more than 20 years, and this child still can't get out. I don't know when I can untie this knot, God. Yin was cute when he was young..."

  Xu Yanying is forty-six years old, with faint crow's feet in the corners of her eyes, her figure is slightly rich, and her brows and eyes are gentle and melancholy when she speaks. When her eldest brother was killed, she was in her early twenties, a bit older than her daughter now. When I was a child, my father educates his children strictly, even if she is the daughter of the family, she is not treated very much. Her father taught her and spent the same amount of thoughts on educating her two brothers. The mother and elder brother love her the most. The siblings are very close, but they never thought that the mother died early and the eldest brother went early.

  That poor child, he was fine before going abroad, but when he came back, it was like a different person. From then on, I went to Hong Kong to recuperate, and I went there for twelve years. After coming back, he went to the military, only to perform tasks outside, soaking in danger all the year round, and it was ten years after that.

  The eldest grandson of the Xu family has the weakest relationship with the Xu family. If it weren't for family gatherings, he would always reserve a seat for him. It would be like no one in this family.

  Xu Yanying first came because her elder brother loved her at the beginning, and secondly, she felt sorry for Xu Tianyin. She always paid attention to her nephew. But in the three generations of the Xu family, it is clear that his daughter has a better relationship with his second brother's son Tian Zhe. When the two of their brothers and sisters met Tianyin seldom, they spoke very little.

   Therefore, Xu Yanying is a little strange about her daughter taking the initiative to mention Xu Tianyin today.

But then she saw her daughter smile weirdly, and said: "Mom, my cousin is not as pitiful as you said. He is living well now. Didn't I hear that I had a girlfriend? I was the video of the proposal. Look, that's romantic, I don't think cousin Tianzhe can do it! I think cousin Tianyin is not cold at all when proposing marriage at the opening ceremony of Beijing University."

  As soon as he said this, everyone at the table was quiet.

  No one spoke for a while.

  Naturally, the Xu family knows about this, and all the videos have also been watched. But no one has expressed his opinion so far, and no one has mentioned it in front of the old man.

  Two bedrooms and three bedrooms, I want to know what kind of attitude the old man has. I just didn't expect that it would be mentioned today.

  So, Xu Yanshao, Hua Fang, Liu Zhenghong, Xu Yanying, and Xu Tianzhe and Liu Lan of the three generations of Xu family all looked at Mr. Xu at this moment.

  The old man frowned.
