I changed the world

"Okay ma'am, I remember." Uncle Yu responded when he heard the words.

"This matter must be dealt with urgently." An's mother reminded again: "The abbot Chen of Qinghe Palace is an expert in spiritual practice, so we can't neglect it."

A look of disdain secretly flashed in Xu Hanzhang's eyes. He didn't understand why his aunt's family, who used to go to the Buddhist temple to offer incense at the end of the year, suddenly believed in Taoism recently.However, in any case, he did not think that those clay-embedded wood sculptures really had any effect.However, similar thoughts only flashed through his mind, but he said: "My nephew also knows a few Taoist masters who are well-educated. I can recommend them to my aunt and cousin later."

"Guanyun is really thoughtful." An's mother smiled when she heard this, obviously looking very interested.

"By the way, Mom, I brought New Year's gifts for you, Dad, and my mother. Your luggage will arrive in a while, and I'll have someone take it over to you."

"Go home, just go home, why don't you buy anything..." An's mother said this, and the smile on her face became brighter.

"Where's Dad?"

"Your father is on the phone upstairs. It should be almost done."

"By the way, your two ladies are also helping in the kitchen..." An's mother added, and then said to the maid on the side: "Go and call the two concubines."

"Let's prepare for dinner first..." An's mother then said to another maid: "Go upstairs and see if the master is finished."

..............................

"Lingling is back..." Just as the maids were placing dishes and dishes on the living room like butterflies in flowers, a rich baritone sounded from upstairs, followed by a man wearing a sleeping bag. The middle-aged man in robe walked downstairs with a smile.

This is a very attractive man, with a broad and flat forehead, broad shoulders, a well-groomed short beard, steady eyes, and his lips are tightly pursed even when he is smiling.This is An Huiling's father, An Zhengquan.

As the head of one of the largest conglomerates in Dazhao, An Zhengquan, who started from scratch, can be called a legend in the business history of Dazhao.Although there are inevitably various rumors behind his rise, and his intricate connections with various forces have always caused him to be criticized and praised in various ways, it is undeniable that he is a man who cannot be ignored.

Just because he created such a large family business as a descendant of a declining noble family, he deserves the title of "Business Wizard".

"Dad." An Huiling bowed obediently first, then happily ran to her father's side and held her father's arm.

An Zhengquan smiled and looked his daughter up and down, his eyes naturally showing a look similar to An's mother.However, his father did not express any great surprise at this time. He just reached out and patted his daughter's arm: "Father and daughter have not talked for a while. After dinner, we will go to dad's study to sit down. , tell dad about your school affairs..."

After saying that, he stopped continuing the topic and just smiled and greeted his wife and nephew beside him: "Come, everyone sit down and eat."

At this time, An Zhengquan's two concubines also came out of the kitchen. Unlike ordinary big families, An Huiling had a pretty good relationship with these two ladies, and they exchanged pleasantries again.

Men in Dazhao could take concubines other than their wives if they had the conditions. This has not changed since ancient times, and this is also the case in this dynasty.But relatively speaking, in today's Dazhao, due to the introduction of certain ideological trends in modern times, as well as the official and private publicity about the equal rights of wives and concubines, the status of the concubine has been greatly improved compared to ancient times. The constant inertia is still inevitable. The concubine's status in the big family has always been lower than that of the wife.

An Zhengquan's two concubines were both married after they became rich, and they were much younger than An Xuqing. They usually had a good relationship with An Huiling, but neither of them had any children.

The lunch was very sumptuous, and there was a lot of fun at the table. The family just talked about some daily interesting things.An Xuqing twice wanted to ask about An Huiling's current situation at school, but An Zhengquan changed the subject. After that, he seemed to have noticed something and stopped asking any more questions.

After the meal, everyone went back to their own rooms to rest. Xu Hanzhang had a room of his own in the An family's manor because of his frequent visits, and An Huiling followed his father to his study.

....................................

"Lingling, come here, sit down..." An Zhengquan looked at his daughter with a smile. His usually dignified and unsmiling face in front of his subordinates was actually more kind at this time. He asked the maid to pour tea for his daughter, and then waved her out. .

"We, father and daughter, haven't had a good chat. Come on, let's talk to dad. Is there anything new at school?"

....................................

........................

…………

About an hour later, looking at his daughter's back as she walked out of the room, An Zhengquan sat thoughtfully on a chair alone.After a while, he stood up, walked to the window, opened the window, and looked outside the house. In the distance, high in the sky, the moon hung high and the stars were shining brightly.

However, An Zhengquan's smile just now was gone. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, thought about it, didn't light it, put it in his mouth, looked out the window, and remained silent for a while, not knowing. What are you thinking about.

Chapter 215 Healed?!

About a quarter of an hour later, he slowly walked back to his desk and sat down. There was a book with a bookmark on it, which showed that the reading progress had just reached the halfway point. The title of the book was "Purple Air Coming from the East" .

This is a book written by the late famous historical and religious scholar Duan Yufei, which systematically explains the history and changes of Xuanmen over the past 2000 years. The content is detailed and rigorous, and it contains a lot of excavations of historical mysteries. What is rare is that the wording is It is not profound, and can be said to be appreciated by both refined and popular people. It is actually the authoritative work among domestic books on Taoism, a major religion.

Under the light of the desk lamp, An Zhengquan sat down at the desk, opened the half-read book, and continued reading...

"Director Xu, is this true?" An Xuqing held an inspection report in front of him with trembling hands and asked with disbelief in his tone.

"Mrs. An, I understand your mood. Although, from the perspective of modern medicine, I do find this a bit unbelievable, but judging from this examination, Ms. An's leukemia should be cured." Sitting in front of An Xuqing is a gray-haired doctor. As the cancer authority of Zheng Jizhong Medical Center, a famous private hospital in Jin'an City, Xu Shufei has always served celebrities from all over the world. For Miss An's family, who has been here more than once, He is naturally aware of the symptoms.Especially in the past, the young lady’s daily medicines were all prepared by him after careful consideration.

To be honest, after this test came out, not only An's family was shocked, but he himself was the first to be shocked. Why?This is unscientific!

For this reason, he even went to the laboratory to repeatedly confirm the relevant blood samples, and even asked An Huiling to test again. After confirming that the blood samples were indeed correct, he dared to believe that a miracle had really happened.

"It's healed... It's good to be cured... It's good to be cured..." Mother An muttered repeatedly, her face gradually glowed, and then her eyes turned red...

After hearing that she had recovered from her illness, although she had been prepared for it, An Huiling, who was standing by the side, still felt like a big stone had fallen to the ground, and she suddenly felt relaxed all over her body.

Immediately afterwards, there was a feeling of infinite gratitude to senior brother and the master... However, seeing that her mother was a little emotional, she helped comfort her mother...

After calming down for a while, Mother An asked again: "Then...will there be a recurrence? This...this really made me so happy that I panicked and made you laugh...Director Xu, you are an expert... Tell me, why did it suddenly get better?"

"Cancer is originally caused by genetic mutation. Perhaps for some reason, a new mutation happened to be triggered, causing the disease to be cured. Ms. An, have you encountered any special situations recently? Or what have you eaten? Other medicines?" Xu Shufei suspected that An Huiling had used some kind of special medicine that he didn't know about. Although as An Huiling's attending doctor, he was still a little dissatisfied with taking medicine without notifying him, but at this time curiosity still prevailed. .

"No, I have been at school recently and haven't gone anywhere... As for taking medicine, I still take it according to your previous prescription."

Hearing the result, Xu Shufei scratched his head. After pondering for a moment, he said: "That's it... To be honest, based on the current test results, Ms. An should be completely normal. I suggest that regular testing is still needed in the future. , to confirm whether there will be a recurrence."

After thinking for a while, he suggested: "I think it would be better for Ms. An to cooperate with us in conducting a more systematic examination. To be honest, I am also interested in doing a more in-depth analysis of this rare case."

"No, it's too troublesome to keep testing. I feel pretty good now. I don't need to test anymore." An Huiling frowned and said suddenly.

Mother An was a little hesitant after hearing this. For safety reasons, she originally wanted to persuade her daughter to take another test.Unexpectedly, An Zhengquan, who was sitting next to him, suddenly spoke up. He specifically canceled an important meeting today and accompanied his wife and daughter for a check-up.

"Since Lingling doesn't think it's necessary, there's no need to test anymore."

Since her husband said this, Mother An opened her mouth, but finally said nothing.

Xu Shufei seemed a little regretful when he heard this, but he also knew that the family in front of him was not an ordinary family. Since they had no intention, it was difficult to force them, so he could only give up.

承和36年西历2016年1月29日11:18苏禄岛竹港市

Jukang City is a famous seaport city on Sulu Island. As one of the earliest developed islands in the Spice Islands, the main industries of Sulu Island are tourism, planting, fishery and service industries. In addition, there are some Resource extraction industry.Zhugang is an important tourist port and fishing port in Sulu.

As one of the oldest ports on Sulu Island, Bamboo Port was originally an important trading port and one of the transit ports for east-west mainland trade. However, with the current speed of shipping getting faster and the self-sufficiency of large ships increasing, With continuous strengthening and insufficient depth, Zhugang has gradually lost its advantage as a trading port.On the contrary, its just right water depth and beautiful beaches around it, coupled with some historical relics and indigenous customs retained in the city, make it an important tourist destination.

However, a small storm that suddenly formed on the 17th of this month gave the Hong Kong Bureau of Zhugang some headaches these days.

It stands to reason that in Nanyang, there will be several storms every year, especially in the summer and autumn of each year, which is the time when storms are most common, and ship owners who have been on the sea are well aware of this.

However, this storm is indeed a bit strange. Not only did it occur in winter when storms rarely occur in the past, but it also formed without any warning. Neither the weather satellite nor the weather radar at the port could warn of this storm in advance. , which makes this storm occur without any warning.

Because of this, even though it was only a small-scale storm, it still caused the loss of five fishing boats within the storm.

During the search and rescue afterwards, except for one severely damaged fishing boat that was recovered, the other four fishing boats seemed to have disappeared into the sea. After five consecutive days of search and rescue, rescuers who used a variety of methods were basically able to confirm that this The four fishing boats should have no hope of survival.

Chapter 216 From now on, my family will serve Tianzun sincerely.

Therefore, at the request of the families of the fishing boats, the port authorities have begun to contact insurance companies and other relevant parties to coordinate the aftermath.

However, just when everyone thought that the four fishing boats had sunk somewhere in the sea, this morning, a lifeboat drifting in the wind was discovered by a fishing boat out of the harbor for fishing. After returning to the harbor, it was confirmed that The people on the lifeboat were the crew of the "Big Eye Snapper" fishing boat that had been missing for twelve days.

However, there were only three crew members on this severely damaged lifeboat, two living and one dead. The two survivors were the original fishing boat first mate Techa Leyva and the correspondent Sonny Garner. , and what is even more embarrassing is that among the two living people, Sonny Garner has gone crazy and can only chatter some words that others cannot understand with his eyes straight.

According to Techa Leyva, who was relatively sober, their fishing boat suffered devastating damage after encountering a storm. Several crew members were directly swept into the sea, the mast was broken, and the cabin was seriously damaged. The ship was damaged, and the most serious one was that a crack was ripped open on the side of the ship, and the ship was seriously flooded. After attempts to repair it failed, they were forced to abandon the ship, and only five people were left drifting in the sea in a lifeboat.

During the twelve days of drifting, they died one after another due to despair, thirst, hunger, exposure, and the cold and humid weather at sea at night. Some crew members died one after another because they could not hold on. Because they were afraid that the corpses of the dead crew members would be infected with diseases, these corpses were They were thrown into the sea.Their captain, Hang Tua, also died of illness and sank into the sea during this period.

Techa Leiva himself also showed signs of serious physiological disorders and dehydration, so he was sent to the hospital after a simple inquiry. No one showed much doubt about his statement.

As for the crazy crew member Sonny, he was also sent to the hospital, hoping that treatment could restore his sanity.

In addition, there is another detail that has not attracted too many people's attention. The rescuers found a strange statue in the lifeboat. It seemed to be carved from some kind of wood. The carving was very rough, and it was a lower body. It has a strange image with complicated tentacles and its upper body is shrouded in a worn-out cloak.Judging from the erosion marks on the surface of the statue, it should be an item of some age.

The police officer called by the port asked about the origin of the statue. At that time, Techa Leyva replied that he did not know which crew member might have brought it to the lifeboat.

Therefore, this statue, which has an obvious early civilization style on the island, was sealed by the police station that manages security in the port area and was brought back to the police station.

承和36年西历2016年1月29日22:45安氏庄园

It was already night, and as usual, An Zhengquan and his wife had gone to bed.In the dark room, An Xuqing suddenly asked the person next to him in a low voice: "Boyue (An Zhengquan's pseudonym), I still feel that this is like a dream... I don't dare to close my eyes now, for fear of waking up. Come on, I found out that I was really dreaming..."

"What are you thinking about... Lingling's illness is really getting better. If nothing else, her complexion is much better than before."

"I know too... but it always feels unreal... Over the years, I have been really scared... I'm afraid that in the blink of an eye... Lingling is like a soap bubble... disappearing..."

An Zhengquan put his arms around his wife. He knew how worried he was about his wife. How many times had his wife woke up crying at night... And deep down in his heart, it was not the same. After all, this was his only flesh and blood.

"By the way Boyue, do you know anything?" After all, An Xuqing knew something about her husband who had been with him for decades. Some of the actions of the two husbands had made her suspicious.

Although she is a rather traditional woman and usually doesn't ask her husband much about her affairs, when it comes to her daughter, he still can't help but ask.

"I just think that Lingling's recovery this time may have something to do with the adventure last time..." An Zhengquan was silent for a while and lowered his voice.

"This...I'll ask my daughter tomorrow..." An Xuqing felt a little uneasy after hearing this.

"Don't ask too much. My daughter is older... If she wants to say it, she will naturally say it. If she doesn't say it, she will naturally have a reason not to say it..."

An Xuqing was silent for a while after hearing the words, as if to cheer himself up: "Maybe it's true... it's true that the God of Heaven is blessing you and favors the spirits..."

"Xuanmen has been passed down for thousands of years and has its own foundation, which cannot be guessed..."

"I am planning to donate a sum of money to the Xuanmen Association in the name of the family foundation and set up a charity fund in a few days... Also, the family temple you asked Yu Bo to choose to build should be more solemn... From now on, my family will serve Tianzun sincerely and tell Chaohua and Yufang (the two concubines of An Zhengquan) not to go to those pagoda temples in the future."

"It's all up to you..." An Xuqing hurriedly responded after hearing her husband's instructions.

承和36年西历2016年1月31日01:22苏禄岛竹港市竹港警察局

The Zhugang Police Station is the earliest police station in the entire Zhugang City, because Zhugang City was originally a trading stronghold built around Zhugang. After hundreds of years of development, it finally developed into the prosperous port city it is today.

It was already dark, and there were only two police officers on duty in the police station office.

Chen Weiming is a first-class police officer with a typical mixed-race appearance. As a senior police officer in his 40s, he is drinking coffee and passing the time by flipping through the news app on his mobile phone.

At another desk, Mohd was lying on the table playing mobile games. He was an intern who had just graduated from the police academy and had just been assigned to work at the police station. As a member of the local indigenous group, Mohd was not taken seriously in the police station, and since he was a newcomer, he was often assigned to duty.

This kind of vague discrimination is relatively common in colonial areas. In fact, Dazhao is still relatively good, and it is even more serious abroad.

Reaching out to rub his eyebrows, Chen Weiming yawned and put down the phone in his hand. According to past experience, there are actually very few things at this time. Even if there are, they are mostly reports of stolen vehicles after drinking at night. As for this They were too lazy to pay attention to the police information and would only ask the victim to come to the police station the next day to register.

"I'll take a nap for a while. If you need anything, call me later." After giving instructions to Mohd, Chen Weiming lay on the table and decided to take a nap.

Curling his lips, Mohd glanced at his colleagues who had fallen asleep, picked up the phone and decided to play another game...

..............................

"Ta...ta-ta...ta...ta-ta..."

I don’t know how long it took, but there seemed to be a faint rhythmic tapping sound in my ears.

Mohd didn't pay attention at first. After all, the climate in the Spice Islands was still relatively warm this season. Those phototactic flying insects always liked to hit the glass windows at night, which was very annoying.

But soon, he put down the phone, and he realized that it didn't seem to be the sound made by flying insects hitting the glass.

He tilted his ears and listened carefully. The rhythmic tapping sound continued, and it seemed to come from not far away.

Could it be that some small animal is stuck?

The warm climate on the island has led to an abundance of various small animals. Coupled with the proliferation of foreign species such as cats and rabbits brought by immigrants,

Mohd decided to go over and take a look. He glanced at Chen Weiming who was still sleeping beside him. After thinking about it, he still didn't wake him up. He picked up a baton from the table and inserted it into the latch at his waist, then stood up. , walked to the door in a few steps, opened the door, and walked into the corridor...

"Ta-ta-ta-ta...ta-ta-ta-ta..."

The sound became more obvious. It seemed to be coming from a room not far away. Mohd identified it. It should be the evidence room...

Perhaps the mousetrap placed there caught something?Mohd made a guess in his mind and walked towards there...
