Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Like a Mummy
In the car heading to Tianshui Garden, Su Yun first said to Yan Gui: "You should go back to Lai Shu's rental house later. There shouldn't be any big problems with that house now, but if there are strangers going there, you should hide."
"Why, Director? Can't we say that Lai Shu is our sub-landlord or a good friend of the four of us who live together?" the ghost asked doubtfully.
"The question is, where is the contract? Cheng Haixiang said he saw the agent bringing Lai Shu. Maybe the house was really entrusted by the landlord to the agent to rent to Lai Shu. But the house is now as clean as if no one has ever been in. The contract and chat records cannot be produced. How can you prove that you are Lai Shu's friend?" Su Yun was worried about this problem.
The most terrifying thing is that there is no evidence that Lai Shu existed. They don’t even know if Lai Shu is a real person. Everything is only narrated by Cheng Haixiang.
If we go to the police station to investigate, it will become a criminal case. The coffin will be opened and there will be a body inside. The funeral home knew about it but did not report it. Since there was no body, the funeral home made a false report. From the moment the coffin appeared, things have been difficult for both ends.
Even if Cheng Haixiang didn't tell a single lie, everything he said was true. I guess this was what he was hesitating about. He didn't know if he would become a false alarm caller or a criminal suspect. Even though he is innocent now, it is still very troublesome.
People are afraid of trouble, just like students can sit in the classroom and ask questions to the top students, but they definitely don’t want to go to the office to receive individual instruction from the math teacher.
Su Yun tapped his knee gently: "If this matter can be solved simply, then solve it simply. If we call the police, we will have to do another favor. To be honest, based on my current judgment, I don't think it's worth it."
A business card in exchange for a favor, the promise was not given by Su Yun. She could only assess how much she should pay based on the person who came. Cheng Haixiang and Lai Shu, who had never appeared, were not worthy of her giving anything valuable for the time being. Now she was only paying with her time, which was very worthless to her, and that was just right.
As for Ding Yihua, it was not the favor that was wasted. Instead, Su Yun felt that she was going to do a favor. If all went well, she could get a promise from the Ding family, just like she did with the Lu family.
Judging from the only information available at present, Tianshuiyuan is not simple, and Ding Yihua's father is definitely not normal. Curing him would be a waste of moral capital.
Su Yun calculated everything very clearly. After returning to Tianshui Garden, she asked the ghost and the ghost bride to go back to guard the strange house, while she and Lin Lang stayed in the underground garage.
Tianshuiyuan has a total of four garages with four entrances corresponding to four gates. After entering the community, you can drive directly into the underground garage, which is very convenient.
Lin Lang let Su Yun walk in front, and he followed half a step behind. This position made it convenient for him to protect Su Yun in real time. Once there was any accident, Su Yun was in front of him and he could react in the shortest time.
Su Yun had no objection and took out a compass to calculate the locations for piling in the community, while Lin Lang asked if he could provide some locations.
The four garages are not interconnected. In fact, this design is a bit strange. In a normal community, unless there is a problem with the underground space structure, there should be one large garage, and the owners' cars should be managed together. If there are four garages, the security guards have to be quadrupled, which is a bit too wasteful for businessmen.
After looking at several pillars in the garage, Lin Lang found the specific things after investigation. Then they went to check three other garages and it was not until after three in the morning that they finished their search.
After returning to Cheng Haixiang's home, Su Yun took out paper and pen and started drawing. The drawing was very large, and Lin Lang added points and pillars on it. The two of them worked together to complete the Feng Shui map of Tianshui Garden.
The sun rises early in Bincheng. Before they finished painting, it was already bright. The light was just right. Su Yun stopped writing and asked Lin Lang to hold up the whole picture. She observed it and said, "This pile is well-made. It's good in every aspect. If you ask others to look at it, they will give the same evaluation."
But as I said before, any building should have a door missing to achieve the balance of yin and yang. Everything that prospers must decline. This community seems to have a strong fortune, but in fact it has begun to eat people up.
Of course, we can’t say there is anything wrong with this design. After all, many people believe that as long as they have good things, they will definitely be good.
It depends on the person who designed this piling position. Is he doing good things with bad intentions, or...is he deliberately killing people without shedding blood?
After staying up all night, Su Yun couldn't hold on any longer and went to sleep. She asked Lin Lang to help watch her phone and wake her up when there was any message.
Su Yun slept until the afternoon. When she woke up, she looked at her phone. No one sent her a message. It was very quiet.
"It's obviously not our business, but we are the only ones anxious here. No one has given me any news." Su Yun complained to Lin Lang outside the door.
Lin Lang nodded. Although he would nod no matter what Su Yun said, it was very boring.
Su Yun was unhappy. She wanted to eat as soon as she got up. She ordered a lot of food and started watching cartoons. As she watched, she asked Lin Lang, "Did you watch cartoons when you were a child? Or did you only read books and practice every day in the mountains?"
Lin Lang was already used to Su Yun's wild imagination. He answered truthfully, "I have seen it. When I was a kid, I was naughty and would go down the mountain to watch TV at other people's homes. At that time, in the village at the foot of the mountain, there were only a dozen households, and only one had a TV. Occasionally, we would turn on the children's channel during commercials for the children to watch cartoons."
Listening to Lin Lang talking about his childhood, it sounded so long ago and incredible, as if they were living in two different eras.
When Su Yun was using computers and mobile phones, Lin Lang was in the mountains and could only watch TV at other children's homes. He ate the candies made in the Taoist temple. In the mountains, everyone had to be self-reliant.
After Lin Lang finished speaking, Su Yun was silent for a while and said, "I actually haven't watched many cartoons, because I have a lot to learn."
Since she is not a real daughter, the Su family seems to care more about their face. If their biological daughter does not do well, they will say that they spoiled her. If their adopted daughter does not do well, they will feel ashamed. Su Lin always thinks that Su Yun is too shameful. Although they have the same educational resources, Su Yun always does things that are relatively out of line.
Those who know the truth think that she is useless and a hopeless person, while those who don't know the truth think that she is just being true to her nature. The perspectives of different human beings are terribly double-standard.
Lin Lang didn't know what to say in response. After a long pause, he finally said, "You will be free when you grow up."
When Su Yun heard this, he smiled and tilted his head to look at him: "It's not that you will be free when you grow up, but that you will be free when you have a pair of rich, free and loving parents."
"..."For the first time, Lin Lang felt that his Dao heart was not so stable.
"I'm just kidding. Only when your mind is clear can you be truly free, you know that." After Su Yun finished speaking, she glanced at her palm. The lines on it were an exact replica of her former body. But if you counted these lines now, it would have shown that the owner was a dead person.
Lin Lang really didn't know how to comfort her this time. After thinking for a while, he took the milk tea, inserted the straw and handed it over: "Director, drink milk tea."
Su Yun didn't expect him to say anything, so he took the milk tea and drank it.
It was after dark that Su Yun received a message from Ding Yihua. He said that the place would be arranged in the hospital because his father had an accident this morning and was admitted to the hospital. He just woke up in the evening. If an appointment was made, it would probably have to be postponed for two or three days.
For a moment, Su Yun didn't know whether Ding Yihua kept his promise or knew something from Wu Yu and wanted to test Su Yun's attitude towards this matter so as to decide whether to ask for help. After all, he himself didn't believe it. But when it really came to the critical moment, he couldn't help but call Su Yun after his father woke up.
Su Yun would not get angry because of this temptation. She said directly: "Give me the address, I will go over tonight to take a look. From your tone, you should have heard something from Wu Yu. Place an order generously. At worst, I will refund the full amount."
Ding Yihua smiled bitterly: "Don't, it's not that I don't believe you, I just can't get over this hurdle. I'm afraid that after you see it, you will say... it's really just the normal state of birth, aging, sickness and death in the world..."
Hearing this, the smile on Su Yun's face disappeared. After a long silence, she spoke first: "Don't be so pessimistic. No matter what the situation is, we have to wait and see."
Ding Yihua on the other side agreed and sent the address to Su Yun, which was a very good military hospital in Bincheng. He was probably admitted under the identity of Ding Yihua's family member, so the treatment was impeccable. However, if even this kind of hospital is no longer effective, he is afraid that he is really not going to be able to survive.
The place was a bit far away, so Su Yun looked at the time and decided to let Lin Lang drive on the highway.
It was almost midnight when we arrived at the hospital and Ding Yihua was already waiting downstairs.
After not seeing each other for a day, Ding Yihua looked much more tired, and his straight uniform could not hide the fatigue on his face.
"I'm sorry, there are too many things to do, and I may not look very good." Ding Yihua apologized first.
Su Yun shook his head: "It's okay, I know you're busy, and you were about to go to the grassroots... Is the time set? Do you want to postpone it?"
Ding Yihua led them inside, and after pressing the elevator button, he replied, "I don't dare to push it. If I do, I don't know how many more years I'll have to endure. Everyone knows that going to the grassroots is for gilding, and you can get a promotion when you come back. I don't dare to take the risk. I'm afraid that if I take a step back, I won't be able to show my support when my sister can't hold on anymore."
Everyone is born with a lot of things on their backs, not by choice. They carry time, life, money, relationships, reproduction, and so on. Ding Yihua has lived a much better life than many people, but he still worries about the same thing - what if he runs out of money and encounters problems in the future? What if his younger sister is still too young to take care of things?
Too many hypothetical questions weighed on him, and he dared not retreat a single step or relax a single breath.
Su Yun patted his shoulder, knowing that at this moment, comfort was actually the most useless thing and they didn't need it.
Arriving at the ward, Su Yun saw the nurse changing the IV bottle for the elderly person on the bed. Sitting at the door was Ding Yixia, who was already very thin. She still had a baby face and looked timid.
The nurse did not close the door when she left. Su Yun took a closer look inside and saw that Uncle Ding's hair was extremely white, and he looked old, decayed, and skinny, like a mummy just dug out of the ground.
