Chapter 05 First Meeting
The water was cold and the body was heavy.
Liang Xinxin could not get out of the water.
Although there was a fish pond in the village, her physique was too weak and her grandmother never let her go into the water.
She could not swim and could only flap and struggle instinctively. As soon as her head floated up, her center of gravity was tilted and she sank and was swallowed by the river again.
A familiar voice came from above, as if urging his mother to save people.
Who was it? Was it a fox spirit?
How did he know she was here?
But before she could think, she was dragged to the bottom of the water by her clothes soaked with water.
The shouts of the people around her were soon drowned by the gurgling sound of the water. The cold river water seemed to separate two worlds.
One was in chaos and the other was close to death.
Liang Xinxin was scared, uncomfortable, and sad.
She was only eighteen years old. She had
lived under someone else's roof for eighteen years, and had no parents for eighteen years.
She had not lived a good life, had not seen the world properly, and had not found the answers she wanted.
She wanted to know, where was her mother?
Even if she was really dead, where was her body?
How could she disappear for no reason?
Was she eaten by wild wolves?
That would be terrible.
Her poor mother must give herself a vacation in the next life, and not work too hard, otherwise she would suffer a short life.
She also wanted to know, why didn't her father want her? He
hadn't replied to a single letter for so many years. Did he really have a new family?
Then what was she?
A mistake that was not worth caring about and worrying about?
She was also very curious, where were her grandparents?
Were they in Beijing too? Did they not want to recognize her either?
How unfortunate that she actually has half of this selfish and indifferent gene.
Finally, she wanted to ask the fox spirit, what is his name? Even if he is a fox spirit, he should have a name, right?
But he just refused to tell her, so she had no choice but to give him a name, Cang Baibao.
Because he is like a treasure box, and he has given her so many things.
It's a pity, she is dying soon, and there is no way to repay him.
I'm sorry, fox spirit. I
'm sorry, Cang Baibao.
I'm sorry, grandma, Xinxin promised to go back to see you, but Xinxin is going to break the promise.
Fortunately, although she is dying, she will be able to see her mother soon.
Mom, the mother that everyone else has.
Everyone else has a mother, but she doesn't.
Mom, um... Mom...
Why doesn't she have a mother?
Her poor mother...
Her consciousness gradually blurred, her body gradually became numb...
It was as if she had really gone to the underworld, and someone was waving at her.
She had painted her nails, bright red, very bright.
Was it Meng Po? Or her mother?
She wanted to open her eyes, but the river water was not clean and stung her eyes. She could only close them quickly and waved her eyes randomly, trying to grab that beautiful hand.
A woman's voice came to her ears. Although she was anxious, she was not panicked.
"Quick! Catch me! Catch me!"
As she spoke, Liang Xinxin's head broke through the water, her body suddenly lightened, and she was pulled up.
The water absorbed by her clothes fell into the river. She started to cough uncontrollably, and each mouthful was filled with muddy river water.
The strange taste made her knees go weak, and she fell on the deck and vomited non-stop.
That pleasant voice sounded again: "Quick, go get a towel, a blanket, and pour a cup of hot water!"
Liang Xinxin felt so uncomfortable that she felt exhausted after vomiting. She only had time to take a look.
The river wind rustled, pulling the woman's cheongsam, making a hunting sound.
The firelight in the distance made the woman look like a god, with
bright facial features and a worried look.
Perhaps because he was afraid of choking her, he turned his head and threw away the cigarette in his mouth.
The lipstick-painted lips were so beautiful, opening and closing, and I don't know what they were saying.
Behind her, there seemed to be another yacht approaching. Standing on the deck was a particularly handsome man, holding something in his hand and saying something with a worried look on his face.
Liang Xinxin's head was buzzing and she couldn't hear clearly.
Anyway, she was not dead.
It's great to be saved by a beautiful woman.
Grandma, I didn't break my promise. I will definitely go back to see you.
Fatigue came over her and Liang Xinxin fainted.
Zhuo Ying on the side hurriedly ordered: "Hurry, dock, prepare the car. Go to the hospital!"
As she said that, she turned around and glanced at her son who was parked not far away: "A Zheng, did you drag a lot of water ghosts? Go quickly, even I feel cold, don't scare this lady."
Chu Weizheng nodded and left in silence.
After Zhuo Ying got ashore, she met A Bang who was walking hurriedly.
He led the men of Jifengtang and was about to settle the dispute. He came over to lend a hand: "Sister-in-law! Why are you here!"
Zhuo Ying had no time to explain, and only said: "It's a mess over there, go and see what's going on!"
"Okay, sister-in-law, you go quickly, I'll handle it!" Abang hurriedly took the people away, and did not forget to leave two to escort them to the hospital.
*
In the hospital, the nurse hung up an IV.
"Mrs. Chu, Director Jiang has cleaned the foreign objects in the mouth and nose of this lady, but she swallowed a lot of water, and may have a lung infection. She needs to hang a few bottles of antibiotics. Where are her family members?"
"I don't know. She's alone." Zhuo Ying should not have seen it wrong, the girl was sitting alone at the stern, not talking to anyone.
When the group was about to abandon the ship to escape, no one paid attention to her.
She was alone for sure.
The nurse was a little embarrassed: "Then..."
"I'll pay for the medical expenses. So, after today's surgery, I'll take her back and come back tomorrow." Zhuo Ying weighed it and decided that this was the most appropriate option.
The nurse breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay. But Mrs. Chu, it's better to let someone of unknown origin leave as soon as possible."
Looking at the rustic coarse cloth clothes, she must be Ah Can from the mainland. It would be bad if she fell in love with the Chu family.
Zhuo Ying was obviously unhappy, and said coldly: "None of your business!"
The nurse pouted and left.
Back in the lounge, she muttered to her colleagues: "Mrs. Chu saved a boy named Ah Chan, and now she asked her to send him away and then attacked me. She's really crazy."
"She's so crazy. She actually saved a boy named Ah Chan! Isn't the example of the eldest wife of the Liang family a warning enough?"
"Yes, the eldest wife saved a boy named Ah Chan last year and was kind enough to keep Ah Chan as a domestic servant. But Ah Can ended up climbing into bed with the man and became his sixth concubine, and even got pregnant." "These
people from the mainland are really poor and crazy. They pounce on men as soon as they see them. They're not afraid that the smell of old people will suffocate them."
"Hey, who told us to have some shame? We can't do such a thing."
These words happened to be heard by Zhuo Ying who was passing by. She paid the fees and came back, but she didn't expect these two people to gossip about her behind her back.
She stopped at the door and sneered, "Why are you so sour? You want to climb into bed too? Then go ahead! You want to but don't dare, and you can only slander others behind their backs, you are a coward!"
The two nurses looked at each other, and finally did not dare to say anything.
Liang Xinxin was unconscious.
I didn't know that a man had come to the ward. He
was wearing a police uniform and was equipped with a gun.
He and his brother were nearby when the accident happened.
His brother has been busy cleaning up water ghosts recently and has not slept for 48 hours.
There is no way. After catching this one, there will be a new batch of smugglers, which is simply endless. The
one who hit the boatman was a henchman of the Heshan Hall, and he has been killed by him.
The soul was immediately hooked away by his brother.
He naturally saw Liang Xinxin falling into the water, but he was unable to do anything and was dragged down by a new round of gunfire.
When he came to his senses, his mother had already carried the person into the car and took her away.
It was at that moment that he suddenly realized that although his mother was thin, she was very strong.
There were clearly several thugs following her, but she refused to let them touch the young woman in her arms.
Perhaps she was afraid that they would have bad intentions?
His left hand pressed on the right butterfly bone, and his brows were locked.
It seemed that he wanted to confirm something.
He moved closer and looked at her carefully.
The woman's hair was so long, too dense, and too black that most of her face was covered by the dark cloud-like hair after she lay down.
He hesitated for a long time, and finally reached out to push the hair away from her face.
The moment he saw the woman's facial features clearly, the burning sensation in the birthmark became stronger.
I could only hold it hard and stare quietly.
What a beautiful face!
The skin is so elastic that it seems like a piece of fine mutton-fat jade. With
the eyes closed, I couldn't tell what she looked like, but her nose was small and straight, and her lips were pale, but she had natural smiling lips.
There were dimples on both sides, so she must look very beautiful when she smiles.
I really want to poke it, maybe it feels like pudding?
Will she cry if it hurts?
I subconsciously reached out my hand, but a familiar voice sounded behind me, so I had to take my hand back and pretend nothing happened.
Zhuo Ying came over in a hurry: "A Feng! Sir Zhong asked you to hurry over!"
Zhuo Ying had just gone home and got two sets of clothes.
Unfortunately, her two daughters, one was too short and the other was too fat, and the sizes were not suitable. Her
own size was a bit old-fashioned and not suitable.
She could only call A Zheng and ask if she could borrow the clothes prepared for his girlfriend. She
would buy two more sets of the same tomorrow.
A Zheng actually did not refuse.
He was just too busy and had no time to explain to her in detail. He just told her: "Take whatever you want."
Zhuo Ying was confused. Aren't these prepared for A Zheng's girlfriend? How could she just take whatever she wanted?
So she only took two sets.
Before leaving, she received a call from Mr. Zhong.
A Feng happened to be here, so she helped to urge him.
Chu Xiangfeng looked at the time and didn't want to go: "It's time to get off work."
Zhuo Ying knew his temper and didn't force him. She just urged him: "You go out, I'll change clothes for this lady." "
Take her home?" Chu Xiangfeng turned around and looked at the sleeping strange woman.
"Let's talk about it after she wakes up. If she has no home to go back to, I will take her back." Zhuo Ying has considered this problem.
The girl looks less than 20 years old, and she may have come from the mainland to live with relatives and friends.
If there is a place for her to go, she will help her to the end and send the girl there.
Chu Xiangfeng stared at Liang Xinxin's face in silence, but unfortunately, he didn't poke her.
With his eyelids lowered, he pressed the hot birthmark and turned away.
Zhuo Ying chased him out and wanted to remind him, but seeing that he was in a hurry, she thought about it and gave up.
Her son was tired all day and it was time for him to take a rest. If he didn't want to go, then he didn't have to.
If Sir Zhong asked, she would say that she forgot.
It was her honor to be able to take the blame for the child.
She sat by the bed and watched, and soon Abang's people came in to report the situation: "Sister-in-law, the matter has been settled, and there will be no more trouble for the time being."
"That's good. Thank you for your hard work." Zhuo Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought that Abang really had great magical powers.
At this time, Chu Weizheng, who had driven the army of ghosts to forcibly control the situation, could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
He returned to the office and kicked the newly captured ghosts into the gate of the underworld one by one.
The office is at the foot of a mountain.
The gate of hell in Hong Kong is here.
There is a Taoist temple and a temple on the mountain. The relatives of the dead often come to pray and make offerings, and ordinary people also come to pray and make wishes.
So there is no shortage of incense money.
In recent years, Hong Kong has been too chaotic, and the Black and White Impermanence in charge of the local area is too busy, so they recruited some living people who were born with yin and yang eyes to help.
People like them straddle the two worlds of yin and yang, and can not only help the living to pass messages, but also fulfill the wishes of the dead.
So half of the incense money was given to them as wages.
The income is quite good.
When it is good, it can be tens of thousands a month.
Occasionally, he can help real estate developers to clean up corpses excavated at construction sites, which can make a lot of extra money.
Today, he had no choice. The situation got out of control. He saw that Ah Feng was almost ambushed, and he was worried about Liang Xinxin who fell into the water, so he had to drive the army of wronged souls to scare the living . Finally,
that gang of grandsons was quieted down.
Just after he finished, his colleague Liang Hongye came to find him unhappy: "A Zheng, you broke the rules. You actually let ghosts scare people in the world. You are crazy! Be careful or your bonus this month will be deducted."
Chu Weizheng ignored him, packed up, turned around and left.
"Where are you going?" Liang Hongye chased after him. What if there are other cases tonight?
Chu Weizheng pushed him back, expressionless: "My girlfriend is in the hospital."
"Okay, then remember to drive away the ghost energy on your body. Women are yin, and you caught so many ghosts today. The ghost energy is too heavy. Otherwise, she will easily see ghosts in the future. If she sees them a few more times, she will not want you." Liang Hongye was kind-hearted. He was an experienced person.
His last girlfriend ran away in this way.
Chu Weizheng knew what he was thinking, but he suddenly thought that Liang Hongye should meet the identity of Liang Xinxin's relatives and friends - they all have the surname Liang, and the Liang family is rich.
Unfortunately, there is no information about Liang Xinxin's parents on the system panel.
It is said that she is an abandoned baby.
However, he still asked: "What are the names of your second uncle's daughter in the mainland and her husband?"
"Are you talking about Liang Zhiyun? Her husband is Pei Daoxuan." Liang Hongye didn't know why he asked this.
Chu Weizheng took note and went to the hospital to ask later.
Liang Xinxin should know what her parents' names are.
Zhuo Ying was dozing off in the hospital.
Suddenly, the corridor became noisy. Zhuo Ying went out to take a look. It turned out that the Liang family's first wife and the sixth concubine were fighting again .
The sixth concubine was so spoiled that she forced Mr. Liang to call her private doctor instead of the first wife.
The first wife was injured and had to come to the hospital. She
was crying in the corridor.
Xu Meihe accompanied her and was trying to persuade her earnestly.
When she looked up and saw Zhuo Ying, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Mrs. Chu. You are here too! Come on, help me persuade my eldest sister-in-law. It is not a solution to keep making such a fuss. As a man, there is no way not to have a concubine. Isn't it better for everyone to live in harmony?"
The eldest wife immediately retorted: "You are talking nonsense. Mr. Chu has no concubine! It is obviously your eldest brother's fault! He can't control himself!"
Xu Meihe was helpless. The eldest brother had the final say in the Liang family. She and her husband were just benefiting from it. Of course, she had to speak for the eldest brother.
This eldest sister-in-law is just confused. What's the point of calling for every concubine to be killed? The more they are
beaten, the more there will be!
She could only persuade him, "How can it be the same? The Chu family is not as wealthy as our Liang family, right? They have five children, which is enough. Our Liang family cannot do that. With so many industries, we cannot manage a few children. Of course, we need to find more concubines and have more children. Sister-in-law, you should act like a wife of the house. Brother likes women with big hearts."
The eldest wife would not listen to her because her husband is already sixty years old!
Moreover, if this woman was found outside, it would be fine, but she had to be the country girl she rescued.
She could not swallow this breath of ingratitude! She
was determined to drive that woman out.
As a result, she broke her leg after using knives and guns.
Xu Meihe could not persuade her, so she had to ask Zhuo Ying for help again.
Zhuo Ying had a headache and didn't want to get involved. The nurse came to remove the needle, giving her an excuse to leave.
She went in and saw that the girl from the mainland had woken up.
Her hair was dry and draped softly on her shoulders and behind her body, which made her face look even whiter and more beautiful.
Her black eyes looked at her helplessly, like a deer lost in the woods, innocent and ignorant.
Zhuo Ying liked her very much and couldn't help but feel compassion.
Hong Kong is a flashy place of fame and fortune, but also a dirty melting pot.
There are opportunities, but also dangers lurking on all sides.
She couldn't bear to see this little girl get hurt.
Then she asked with a smile: "Miss, what's your name? How old are you? Do you have any relatives here? If not, don't be afraid, sister-in-law will take you back."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Meihe, a dog-skin plaster, rushed in and grabbed Zhuo Ying, asking her to persuade her again.
While she was talking, she looked up and was suddenly dumbfounded: "Hey, Mrs. Chu, who is this?"
