That night, Lu Cheng recalled the nightmare he had been away from for a long time.Tang Yuefei in the dream cried silently in front of the mirror in a person's office.In the dark of night, she put on a bright red wedding dress.Outside the door, the gongs and drums are noisy, and the festive team is surrounded by high-headed horses to welcome relatives, and the sound of suona is celebrated all over the world.On the white horse, the groom is well-dressed, with a green face and white teeth.And he spared no effort to swing the long knife in his hand, and then took the bride's hand away in front of everyone.He once thought that the existence of this dream was to remind him that Tang Yuefei was about to get married, but he ignored the most objective and inconspicuous fact that had been repeatedly appearing in his mind.That was to remind him to beware of the white-faced Langjun on the horse.The face is bloodless, and the face is blue and white.That's Zhang Muyan.What he didn't finish dreaming about was that his handsome and bechanting face drew a sneer in the invisible darkness, as if to mock all the foolish.He sang, he danced, he waved the red ribbon around him, and the ghosts of the night drifted through the red and black.The nightmare that can't be slashed by the sword, the fear that can't be escaped goes hand in hand with the darkness, like fate, and there is no escape from what will come.With a thin bead of sweat on his forehead, Lu Cheng opened his sleepy eyes in the early morning.This seemingly adequate sleep did not restore his spirit much, on the contrary, under the torture of a nightmare, he just woke up with a rare period of physical and mental exhaustion."
You got up so early" After walking out of the bedroom door, he couldn't help but ask in surprise when he saw Tang Yuefei who had already gotten up.In his impression, this proprietress who has always paid attention to morning snaking beauty has never been in the habit of waking up early."
Please, it's all sunburned, okay, except for you and your playful and sleepy sister, who else would get up at this point" Tang Yuefei rolled her eyes and replied unceremoniously.Lu Cheng patted his head, and then realized that he was in a firm that didn't see the sun all day long.The common sense of judging the time of day by the color of the sky is all empty talk in this unique geographical location, except for noon and obvious darkness, there is no difference in the tone of the room for ten hours a day during the other day."
The little girl hasn't gotten up yet" He glanced at the bedroom at the other end, and found that there was indeed a figure under the cyan pajamas in the hidden door, holding a one-person tall velvet bear and sleeping soundly, so he shook his head, picked up a bun from the breakfast on the table, and nibbled on it.Another thing that caught his attention was a letter next to the computer, which did not indicate the sender's address, except for the recipient's column, which was clearly written, the other information was basically blank, and the only clue was a red stamp of unknown origin on the envelope."
What is this?"
he asked vaguely, biting into his mouth."
I don't know, it was sent early in the morning.I don't think I opened what I sent you. ”Tang Yuefei said, and showed a wicked smile on the side, "Who knows if it is the little lover you raised outside to give you an illicit secret letter, wouldn't it be embarrassing if I opened it" "Hey, how many years are you going to play with this stalk" Lu Cheng glanced at her, and turned his hand to tear open the seal of the letter.But this unpacking, what he got was news that he had never imagined.Seeing the sharp change in Lu Cheng's expression, Tang Yuefei's expression, which was still half-joking, became serious, "What's in the letter?"
and "An obituary." ”After reading it for a few minutes, Lu Cheng put down the letter in his hand, and his pale face was like a white wall of lime."
Whose obituary" Tang Yuefei anxiously took the letter and raised her eyes to ask Lu Cheng, but this question was not answered after all.She didn't know the people mentioned in the letter, and she could even say that she had never heard of them.If it weren't for the fact that the institution where the deceased worked was so famous, she wouldn't have even had the slightest impression of it.The letter is very simple, starting with a letter to the honorable Mr.
Lu Cheng, who wishes that you will be able to attend someone's memorial service in a few days.At the end of the letter is the same red stamp, but compared to the personal seal on the envelope, this business seal is obviously more marked, and it only comes from the largest commercial auction house in S City, ukiyo-e.Tang Yuefei didn't know what the relationship between the deceased and Lu Cheng mentioned in the letter was, and she couldn't imagine how a young student got acquainted with the president of ukiyo-e, but seeing this man's expression, she understood that now should not be the time for her to ask questions.Lu Cheng glanced at her and didn't say anything, just went back to the bedroom and changed into the most commonly used black suit.He was very serious about tidying up his meter in the mirror, and he looked meticulous.From combing your hair to tying your bow tie, it looks slow and orderly, but not dignified."
I'll do it."
Tang Yuefei whispered, walked behind him in the mirror, and helped him smooth out the blind spots on his clothes one by one.This move was exchanged for a faint smile from Lu Cheng."
I'm not in a hurry, I'm just going to see an old friend, it's too late anyway, I don't care about this time."
He smiled, but there was an indescribable calmness in his tone.Tang Yuefei nodded, sorted out the leather shoes for him to travel, and handed over the long-handled black umbrella.The sky outside the door was drifting with thin rain, and Lu Cheng, who was holding an umbrella, stood in the rain, quietly like an old man who would never speak again."
I'll go out and I'll be back soon."
As usual, he greeted the people inside the door.Tang Yuefei nodded, and habitually replied, "Go early and return early."
This section of the road is very long, but Lu Cheng has no plans to drive.He knew he wasn't in a hurry, and the person he was going to see wasn't in a hurry.Life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky.He just didn't expect that an old man he had just met half a month ago would receive news of his death so soon.At that time, although President Xu looked old, there was no lack of spirit in his eyes.It's hard to imagine how such a quiet and peaceful old man could have died so without warning, if it weren't for the accident.On this day, the white snake cried blood and tears, and the broken bridge was dyed with wind and frost.For the first time, Lu Cheng heard crying on Mingjian's body, and for the first time, he felt inexplicable heartache.Ukiyo-e, which is only opened once a year, has once again opened its doors to the grand and magnificent atmosphere after a grand auction held not long ago, in order to accommodate all those who perform the memorial service and pay tribute to the old man who has just passed away.Lu Cheng stood in front of the door, holding a black umbrella like a dome, and his calm gaze was like that of a passerby."
Mr.
Lu, are you here?"
He was greeted by the maid Xiaomeng last time, the little girl who was used to dressing up as a maid had changed into a plain lady's dress today, and her self-proclaimed cute face no longer had the smile of the day, looking at the way she had been waiting for a long time, she probably knew about Lu Cheng's arrival."
Here we are."
Lu Cheng nodded, put away the black umbrella in his hand, and naturally handed it to her.The maid obediently took the guest's rain-soaked umbrella and put it on the umbrella stand at the entrance.began to follow him unmovingly, just like his first visit that day, she chased behind her and asked "Mr. your surname", intentionally or unintentionally selling cuteness."
When did the old man die" Lu Cheng asked casually, no longer needing the guidance of others, but walked upstairs on his own."
In the early hours of last night, I was found sitting in a chair in my office, and I was dead peacefully."
The maid suppressed the emotions in her heart, so that she could finish the whole sentence quietly, so that her tears would not lead her to crying, "The night before, the president specially told us to leave work early, and he wanted the last person to take a good look at this venue that he had operated for many years.Minister Cao of the Security Department was not at ease, afraid that something would happen to the president who was old and frail, but the chairman took the initiative not to worry, but just beckoned all our employees to go to work on time tomorrow morning, saying that he was here to pick him up and go home" "I understand. ”Lu Cheng took out the white napkin in his breast pocket and politely handed it to the girl in front of him, who was already crying.The door to the office was still open, as if the old man inside had not been locked after he had been found and taken away.The furnishings inside are still the same, a full set of log furniture, refreshing sandalwood, tea is the dragon well on the shore of West Lake, but the fire has been extinguished, and people go to tea to cool.There were three cups on the table, two of which were left untouched and one of which was drunk.Legend has it that after a few soak in Longjing, it will become "floating" when it is re-brewed and dried, which is so bitter that it will be unforgettable.That visitor was probably blessed that he didn't miss the taste of this tea after all.The window hadn't been closed yet, and the demonic aura inside had already diffused.Lu Cheng closed his eyes and used his divine sense to the fullest, just to use the incomplete bloodline of the corpse clan to feel all the death breath remaining in this room.One person and one demon, the former died because of the shock of the soul, and the latter died from a sword cutting his throat, and his bones were gone.The person who came was quite polite, and he didn't act rudely to the two old men, President Xu and Mr.
Hai, but the sword came too quickly, and he didn't even leave them time to finish drinking the contents of the cup."
Don't cry."
He opened his eyes and patted the maid's head hanging down because of the sobbing, "I'll take revenge for this." ”With that, he turned around and put the two cups of leftover tea on the table into his mouth
