Chapter 79
After handing out the red envelopes, Lu Xiaoguo talked about the work for the new semester. Everyone took note and the meeting adjourned.
Li Yang was about to wash the school bus, but Liang Tang stopped him.
"Have you finished your winter vacation homework?"
Li Yang didn't say anything. Li Dongqiang said, "I didn't write a single word."
"Did your benefactor not write a single word, or did you not write a single word?" Liang Tang asked.
Li Dongqiang crossed his fingers and said, "Neither Benefactor nor Little Winter Melon wrote a single word."
Teacher Wu Qian said, "Hurry up and make up for it. School will start the day after tomorrow. The rule of our kindergarten is that unfinished winter vacation homework must be copied five times."
Li Yang:?
Li Dongqiang also became extremely nervous, "My benefactor, shall we write it quickly?"
Li Yang had a blank expression on his face, but he and Li Dongqiang lay on the coffee table and began to frantically catch up on their homework.
As for the school bus, Liang Tang saw Zhou Du coming downstairs, pointed at the person doing homework in the living room, and said, "The school bus hasn't been washed yet, you can help him wash it."
So Zhou Du started washing the school bus.
In this way, everyone in the kindergarten has made a contribution to the cleaning work of the kindergarten.
All the teachers were busy preparing for the start of school and finally welcomed the new semester.
When Li Yang goes out, many kids are unwilling to wear school uniforms, and instead wear various colorful cotton-padded jackets for the New Year. Each of them looks as festive as a doll in a New Year picture.
When they returned to the kindergarten, the kids' eyes lit up when they saw the Winter Melon Fairy in women's clothing.
They chattered around Li Dongqiang for a long time, discussing who was better looking, the Winter Melon Spirit or Zhixuan.
But as they discussed, they started arguing, and as they argued, they almost came to blows.
In order to avoid disputes, Li Dongqiang suddenly changed back into a male body, but he was still wearing the princess dress bought by Zhou's parents, which seemed a bit out of place.
Everyone suddenly felt that they had gone mad for arguing about this matter.
However, his attention was soon attracted by the teachers holding small red envelopes.
It is a tradition of Xiaoyiren Kindergarten to give out small red envelopes on the first day of school after the New Year.
Everyone has it, including Li Yang.
They also prepared some New Year snacks (which Li Yang and Li Dongqiang didn’t finish) to distribute.
Half a day was spent in such an environment.
However, at the beginning of the second class, Li Yang could see that he could not attend the class and fled the classroom.
When passing by the office, Zhou Du called him, "Where are you going?"
"Go back and catch up on some sleep."
"You went to bed at eight last night. Come in."
Li Yang had no choice but to go in.
Zhou Du's meticulous desk was filled with winter vacation homework books from two classes.
The man was correcting the papers with a red pen.
A red pen was placed in front of Li Yang.
Zhou Du: "Let's correct the homework together."
Li Yang had no choice but to take a chair and sit down opposite him.
"You should correct the Lotus class students carefully. Those who make mistakes will be copied into their wrong answer books. Correct the class monitor's answers first. After you're done, you can use his answers as the standard answers for the other children."
Li Yang nodded and began to correct the papers.
The two of them worked until noon and still had one-third of the book left to finish.
Zhou Du checked the time and listened to the noises outside for a while. The kids had finished their meal and were getting ready for a nap.
Close the pen cap and take Li Yang to eat.
After eating, I came back to continue correcting the papers. At this time, the Lotus class and Tai Chi class each sent a teacher to help during the lunch break. With four people, we finished correcting all the papers within half an hour.
Zhou Du took out Li Yang's homework from the Tai Chi class and said, "You got eight wrong. Go write it in your wrong answer book and hand it in tomorrow morning."
Li Yang glanced at him without saying a word, then took the notebook and the book of wrong answers.
When he copied it for the third time, Zhou Du's cell phone rang.
Zhou Du answered: "Brother Hong. You are outside the kindergarten? What's going on?"
The early spring chill was heavy. Brother Hong exhaled white air and said, "I need to ask Master Xiao Li to go to 779 for something."
When Zhou Du and Li Yang arrived at the school gate, there was a young man next to Brother Hong, who was a reserve school bus driver that Li Yang had taught during the winter vacation. He was previously a reserve talent in the Education Bureau. When Brother Hong brought him over, even Li Yang noticed something.
Sure enough, the two families met up, and Brother Hong said, "Xiao Li, come with us to 779. Xiao Kai will take over the kindergarten bus duty temporarily."
Li Yang and Xiao Kai nodded at the same time, and Zhou Du asked, "What's the matter?"
Brother Hong patted his shoulder and pursed his lips, "You can go with us, and you will know when you get there."
So, except for Xiao Kai who stayed behind, Zhou Du, Li Yang and Hong Ge got on the same car.
Turning into the 779 compound, the gate was closed, and it turned out that Brother Hong asked Li Yang to go to the interrogation room.
Zhou Du stopped him: "What do you mean?"
Brother Hong told him to relax, "It's just a process, asking some questions, nothing will happen."
"I apply to accompany you." Zhou Du said.
"It's impossible for me to accompany you. You can just watch with us from behind the surveillance camera."
Zhou Du became a little more talkative.
*
There is a two-way mirror and space for only one ceiling light. The rest is nothing special. It is a place that protects human rights very much.
When Brother Hong brought him in, there were handcuffs hanging on the chair.
Brother Hong said, "Don't worry, you won't be asked to wear these things. Relax, I'm just asking some questions."
After saying that, Brother Hong left the small room and closed the door.
Li Yang sat on a chair, and across the table was someone he had never seen in 779.
The man held up his work badge and introduced himself, "Hello, Li Yang. I am Mo Lanke, the director of the Anti-Cult Office of the Huaxia Religious Affairs Bureau."
Li Yang nodded.
Director Mo did not directly explain his purpose, but asked: "Ma Jiaolan, do you know her?"
Li Yang didn't shake his head in a hurry, but just frowned to look for the person he remembered. Finally, after making sure that he had never heard of him, he shook his head.
Director Mo took out a photo of Ma Jiaolan.
It was a photo of an old lady in her seventies. Her face was wrinkled, her eyes were dull, and there was a compassionate mole between her eyebrows. She looked like a very easy-going old lady.
Li Yang remembered the warmth of the wrinkles in her hands.
"Granny Ma?" Li Yang blurted out.
Director Mo hummed, "After investigation, your two families are neighbors. You can almost say that she raised you, but she disappeared five years ago. Are you still in contact with her?"
Li Yang shook his head, "No more." He even searched for a long time but couldn't find any trace of it.
"So, do you remember what she used to offer in her home?"
"A statue of God."
"Please describe it in detail."
"The statue is of a female body, similar to Guanyin, but it is not Guanyin." Li Yang searched for it since childhood. As far as he could remember, it was a dimly lit place with a shrine where the statue was enshrined.
He said with certainty.
"Did she ask you to worship the statue... or did you worship it yourself?"
Li Yang shook his head, "No, no matter what the motive is, there is none."
The mother-in-law never took the initiative to let him worship her, and even did not allow him to get close.
"When you were in her house, did you ever hear any tempting... seductive... voices that made you worship God?"
Li Yang lowered his head in thought.
He still remembers things clearly from his childhood, but if he can't remember something, there is a blank.
After a long moment, he raised his head from between his arms, "I don't remember."
On the other side of the two-sided mirror, Zhou Du asked: "New clues about Chao Yuanzong?"
Brother Hong blew into the thermos, "Hmm."
"What's going on with my kid?"
"That Ma Jiaolan is one of the biggest leaders of Chaoyuan Sect. She is blind and serves Lingfeng God. Your child used to live across from her house. It is inevitable that he must have offered sacrifices and burned incense. I am afraid he has been marked as a believer."
"Oh, the believers have been marked. Their souls will be collected by Lingfeng Divine Lord and will not enter reincarnation in the Three Realms."
In Zhouda Li Minyao's space, Zhou Du saw the memories of the old man taking care of Li Yang.
In the mirror, Director Mo also told Li Yang about the identity of the neighbor's grandmother. Li Yang's expression was very calm, and he only said one sentence at the end: "The grandmother didn't hurt me."
She gave him the orange with her wrinkled warmth.
During the Chinese New Year, she groped her way to his door and handed him a small red envelope.
During the Chinese New Year and other festivals, the offerings were simple, but they allowed him to eat meat, which he had not eaten for a long time.
…
"But she served Lord Lingfeng, and she destroyed many people's hopes of reincarnation."
"We want to save you now. If you worship Lord Lingfeng, it means you have joined his religion and are a believer. We are saving you now." Director Mo stated repeatedly.
Li Yang took a deep breath and asked, "What do you need me to do?"
"We will have professionals search your sea of consciousness to see if you have any memories of worshipping the sect. If so, we will find a way to cancel your contract with Ling Feng. If not, that would be the best. I hope you can quickly devote yourself to your career. You and Ma Jiaolan know each other, so you should have a share in the fight against Chao Yuan Sect."
Director Mo made it very clear.
Li Yang nodded, indicating that he was willing to accept it.
Until a man in a black suit entered the space.
Zhou Du's face darkened, he turned around and left the monitoring room and entered Li Yang's small room.
The man in the black suit was holding an instrument and was about to apply mucus on Li Yang's head when he was stopped by a pale hand.
The atmosphere froze, and Director Mo raised his glasses: "Zhou Yuan?"
Zhou Du didn't even bother to smile, and said expressionlessly: "The instrument searching the sea of consciousness will cause certain damage to the brain nerves, resulting in temporary amnesia..."
"I don't need you to endorse me, I know all this." Director Mo said.
Zhou Du took a deep breath and said, "I'll check the sea of knowledge."
Director Mo narrowed his eyes and realized the relationship between the two, or how important Li Yang was to him.
Nodding, "Then you come."
Zhou Du cast a soothing spell on Li Yang, and Li Yang leaned his head against his palm and fell asleep.
There was a long black leather sofa in the room. Zhou Du carried the person to the sofa and helped him lie flat.
Checking the sea of consciousness is like a brain surgeon performing a delicate operation, which may easily touch other brain nerves and cause sequelae.
But Zhou Du's hands were like those of the best surgeons, threading the needle through the numerous white light seas of consciousness and finding the years that Li Yang had been in the town.
The memories of the onlookers came to the conclusion that it was just as Li Yang said, no one had ever worshipped the statue.
The 779 personnel who were familiar with Li Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and the people in the crackdown office also returned to their serious attitude.
Zhou Du gently arranged his sea of consciousness, and a few fine white threads hooked around his little finger.
Zhou Du lowered his neck, raised the corners of his lips slightly, calmed the wisp of sea of consciousness, placed it properly, and then closed the sea of consciousness.
“It’s OK as long as he’s not marked as a believer.” Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but soon the focus came - Li Yang went in and out of Ma Jiaolan’s house so many times when he was a child, why didn’t Ma Jiaolan preach to Li Yang or let him worship?
Logically speaking, such a young child would be willing to worship ghosts if given a piece of candy.
But, obviously, this is a secret. When Li Yang woke up and was asked about this, he just said, "Grandma Ma didn't let me get close to her."
Well, it's really a mystery.
