The prison van was driving on the road in the village, and many villagers stood on the roadside to watch the excitement. Han Chuangye looked at the people standing on the roadside through the window, his eyes were empty, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He said he had something important to say to Ning Tao. Ning Tao asked twice on the way, but he kept his mouth shut and said nothing.
The prison car stopped at the end of the village, which was still some way away from Han Chuangye's home. The road for passing the car might have been built here. There was a small dirt road ahead, which the car could not pass at all.
"It's Chinese New Year, comrade, please go back and spend time with your family. I'll just take him back." Ning Tao said to the prison guard driving the prison van.
"Okay, if you need anything, call our Zhang Office." The prison guard left a message and drove away.
Ning Tao helped Han Chuangye along the dirt road. At the end of the road was another red brick house with no walls plastered. Other houses were decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, but the small courtyard didn't even have a couplet posted on it. It stood there alone, looking particularly deserted.
A large group of villagers stood at the end of the cement road, watching Ning Tao and Han Chuangye, chattering among themselves.
"Isn't that Crazy Han? Why was he released again?"
"That's right. How come you were released after being detained for just a few days?"
"The village headquarters was dug up by him. Isn't it okay to just let this matter remain unclear?"
"You are so crazy. You say he is Han Xin, but I am still Liu Bang."
"Hahaha… "
These sounds left an indescribable harsh feeling in Ning Tao's ears. Han Chuangye was about to die, but these people were still mocking him without any sympathy. Life is getting better now, but people's hearts are getting colder and colder.
Han Chuangye's steps were very slow, and it was all thanks to Ning Tao's spiritual power to keep him going. Otherwise, he would have fallen to the ground and would still be unable to move. When he approached the red brick house, he pushed away Ning Tao's hand that was supporting him and held the down jacket tightly in his hands.
Ning Tao asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
Han Chuangye nodded, glanced at Ning Tao, and finally said: "Thank you for bringing me back... I..."
Ning Tao said: "Just say what you want, you can trust me. If you have any wishes, you can tell me and I will help you realize it."
"I know I'm going to die... I can't worry about my mother..." Han Chuangye's eyes filled with tears, "She doesn't even have subsistence allowance... If I leave... who will take care of her..."
Before he finished speaking, two tears rolled down from his eyes.
Ning Tao suddenly felt sad. In this world, there are people who have plenty of food and fish, but there are people who are still worried about eating. Those who take advantage of others, have they ever thought about the suffering that people will endure if they take away human food
"Don't worry, I will take care of your mother after you leave. The boss will ask you to give me an account, and I will give your mother enough money to support her in her old age." Ning Tao said. He would not ignore such a kind person if he met him.
Han Chuangye bent his legs and was about to kneel down to Ning Tao, but Ning Tao hurriedly held him up.
At this time, the door of the small courtyard opened, and an old lady took a look, hurriedly walked out, hugged Han Chuangye, crying and laughing at the same time: "You are back, you are so thin... Go home, go back." Happy New Year at home... Mom will make you some meat buns."
She is Han Chuangye's mother, Lu Shuzhen. According to the information, she was born in 1958 and is only 61 years old this year, but she looks like a person in her seventies, much older than her actual age.
"Mom... you have always wanted a down jacket... An eldest sister gave me one... I will bring it back to you and you can try to see if it fits." Han Chuangye handed the down jacket to Lu Shuzhen and looked at her eagerly.
Lu Shuzhen said: "Go home and try, son, who is this?" Ning Tao didn't wait for Han Chuangye's introduction and said proactively: "Auntie, my name is... Jiangnan, I am your son's boss, and I want to take your son to a big city. Work, earn money to support you in your old age, and get a wife to give you grandchildren.”
"Oh, that's a good feeling. You are a noble person in our family. Please come in." The old lady was so happy that she took Ning Tao's hand and walked towards the door.
Han Chuangye's lips moved, but he didn't say what he wanted to say. He knew that Ning Tao was a policeman and knew the lies Ning Tao told, but he couldn't tell them. He was about to die, so it would be nice to leave a thought to his old mother. Otherwise, his mother would definitely not be able to bear it if the white-haired man gave the black-haired man a gift.
After entering the house, Ning Tao chatted with Lu Shuzhen for a while, and Lu Shuzhen got up and went to cook. She took down the only piece of bacon hanging on the eaves and took it into the kitchen. That piece of bacon was probably the best thing this poor family could offer to entertain guests.
"You... follow me." Han Chuangye said as he walked towards a room.
Ning Tao helped him into the room.
The red brick walls of this room are not even plastered. There are several celebrity posters on the walls, including Wong Ka Kui's and Bruce Lee's. I don't know how many years since they were posted, the color is a bit yellow. The only furniture in the room was a bed, a dirty wardrobe, and not even an extra stool.
Ning Tao helped Han Chuangye lie down on the bed, and then said: "Give me an account. The account your mother can get, preferably her own account."
"You...really want to give my mother money?"
Ning Tao said: "Are you kidding me when I look like this?"
"But..." Han Chuangye hesitated to speak.
Ning Tao said: "Everyone has ambitions. I know that even poor people have their own self-esteem, but I want you to put down your self-esteem and think about your mother. I will give your mother enough money for retirement. , and then take you out of here before you die. I believe you don’t want your mother with white hair to send someone with black hair, right?”
Han Chuangye seemed to have finally opened his heart. He told Ning Tao his mother's account.
Ning Tao checked it, then directly transferred 500,000 to Lu Shuzhen's account, and then showed Han Chuangye the interface showing the successful transfer.
When Han Chuangye saw it, tears welled up one after another.
Ning Tao said: "I will tell your mother later that this money is the salary I paid you in advance for five years. You will not be able to come back until five years later. Do you understand what I mean?"
Han Chuangye nodded and choked with sobs: "I... I will definitely repay you in my next life... "
Ning Tao said: "No need for the next life. Zhang Zhongshu said that you have something important to tell me. As long as you tell me what you want to say to me, it will be equivalent to repaying me. Tell me, what do you want to say to me?"
Han Chuangye wiped his tears and said: "I don't know what's going on... Sometimes I feel that I am Han Xin, I am a big shot... But sometimes I am very clear-headed, I know that I am no one, I am The extremely poor Han Chuangye... Do you believe what I say? "
Ning Tao nodded: "I believe it, go on."
Han Chuangye looked at the Bruce Lee poster on the wall, looking a little confused: "Last time you and Superintendent Jiang came to see me... You said you were a spy sent by Liu Bang... I know you were testing me and trying to trick me. ... But I don’t know why I believe you... I didn’t dare to say it in front of those people at that time, but now I can finally say it... During this period, I have a dream every night... "
"What dream?"
"I dreamed that I was in a strange place. There were dragons flying in the sky, and people riding cranes and swords. They were all going to a mountain... I followed them... The mountain was so high, I I can't see the top of the mountain even when I raise my head, but I can see a golden temple standing in the clouds... "
Ning Tao was surprised and curious. Did he go to the fairy world in his dream
Han Chuangye continued: "I climbed and climbed, and finally climbed to the top of the mountain... The temple was so big, so golden... There was an open space in front of the temple, and it was full of people... Those people were wearing ancient clothes, one All of them are very elegant, just like the gods played on TV... Later... Later... "
"What happened next?" Ning Tao was a little anxious.
"Later, a woman in red clothes came out of the temple..."
Ning Tao's heart beat violently: "Go on."
"The woman in the red dress is so beautiful, she said... She read a poem... The gods are extinct and the heavenly soldiers are dead, and there are trees under the town tower... To find the ancestors, one needs to die first, and there is a secret road between life and death..." Han Entrepreneurship stopped.
Ning Tao was shocked and urged: "What else did she say?"
Han Chuangye shook his head: "No, she said these strange words, and the whole mountain shook. A whirlpool appeared in the sky, and a monster ran out of the whirlpool. It killed the people on the mountain, and even the temple. It sucked everything into its mouth... I didn't hide away, I was sucked into its belly. I saw a sea of blood in its belly, with countless bones floating on it... Then I woke up with a fright. …”
Ning Tao was still stunned, the "poetry" Han Chuangye mentioned kept popping up in his mind.
The gods are dead and the gods are dead, and a tree is built under the tower during the town.
To find your ancestors, you need to die first, and there is a secret path between life and death.
He heard the first two sentences from the mouth of Yang Yuhuan's remnant soul. She didn't tell them all, but now a living dead has completed them. He didn't know why Han Chuangye had such a strange dream. In the dream, he saw a woman who looked like a red elixir and heard the last two lines of the "poem". This was weird, and the dream was even weirder.
To find your ancestors, you need to die first, and there is a secret path between life and death.
In the first half, does it mean that you have to die to get access to the elixir
In the second half, is it said that there is a secret passage between life and death
A cloud of fog arose in Ning Tao's heart, which could not be dispelled.
"Officer Jiang, you..." Han Chuangye's voice came out.
Only then did Ning Tao come back to his senses: "What else did you dream about?"
Han Chuangye shook his head: "No, every time I get swallowed by that monster, I wake up with a fright. I think you want to know this, so... I asked Director Zhang to call you. I also know You are not a police officer."
Ning Tao was stunned for a moment: "How did you know?"
Han Chuangye smiled bitterly: "People like me... the police are too lazy to pay attention to me, and they still talk to me about Liu Bang and Xiang Yu... let alone give my mother 500,000 yuan for retirement. I haven't read many books, and I haven't seen much of the world. But I'm not stupid... Of course... I am also a little selfish. I don't want to die in the detention center... I want to see the best side of my mother... I know you are a capable person and you can get me out... "
Ning Tao wanted to comfort him, but didn't know what to say.
What kind of comfort can Han Chuangye feel relieved that his mother is gone forever, forget everything in this world, and feel better at the same time
No.
Han Chuangye's face flushed with color, and he suddenly became more energetic.
But in Ning Tao's eyes, this was a sign of coming back.
"He..." Han Chuangye suddenly became nervous, "He, he is coming..."
