San Er was born in this little town. She didn’t go to college after graduating from senior high school and got married at a young age. Then, she had a daughter.
This was also the life of most women in this little town.
San Er thought her life would always be peaceful like this. The biggest change in her life was her husband’s death.
That almost changed her fate.
She still lived in the town. Her fate might have changed, but her life did not.
Of course, there were some unpleasant events that happened to her, such as a matchmaker coming to her home sometimes or hearing gossip about her occasionally. Of course, there were pleasant things too, such as her daughter Xiao Zhi growing up day by day.
She would call her mom, helping her with housework, drawing a picture of herself with mom and sunflowers.
So, her life hadn’t changed that drastically, because unhappiness and happiness were even.
That was why San Er had never expected that she would save a man, a foreign man, while washing clothes by the river.
“I live in this town.”
San Er was not about to tell him much about herself, such as her name, address and who she was.
“Here…” San Er looked around, “This is Baishui Town.”
“Baishui Town?” The man frowned, then shaking his head, saying, “I can’t remember that, I have not heard it before.”
“Ah… never mind about that. You probably fell into the water by accident. Do you have any family or friends nearby? I can contact them for you!” San Er said directly.
“Family, Friends?”
The man suddenly closed his eyes, shaking his head. He looked a little sad, saying, “I… I can’t remember that.”
San Er and her daughter looked at each other. The little girl couldn’t understand what happened, but San Er thought, ‘Did he lose his memory?’
This foreign man… San Er hesitated before saying, “Do… Do you remember your name? Where do you live?”
“I…” The man thought for a long time, but he finally frowned, saying, “I don’t know, I can’t remember that.”
San Er felt the man’s eyes were so beautiful and magical. Eyes that she had never seen before in her life—Maybe it was because of the different eye color of the foreigner?
And the man’s accurate pronunciation of Mandarin also surprised San Er.
‘Maybe he was a foreign man that lived here for a long time?’
“You can’t remember that?” San Er asked carefully, “Do you have any ID card or something else? Where is your mobile phone?”
“My…” The man gave a start, and then started to search his clothes.
Suddenly, the strange man rolled his eyes and looking for something, “Disappeared, it disappeared, where is it…”
“What…What are you looking for?”
San Er asked subconsciously as she embraced her daughter tightly, looking at the strange foreign man.
The man suddenly stopped, looking at San Er in puzzlement, “I don’t know, but I have to find it. But… But I can’t remember what it is exactly. It is very important to me, very important…”
“Then…Then can you remember what it looks like?” San Er asked.
“It was very long… It’s red…no, no… what’s that indeed??” The foreign man frowned, and covered his head with his hands. He looked a little unsteady.
Finally, the man sighed, shaking his head, saying, “I am sorry, I can’t remember.”
San Er thought for a while, advised, “What about going to the local police station? Maybe the policemen can help you…”
The foreign man nodded.
…
The town was not big… They soon got close to the door of the police station. San Er didn’t walk close to the man. However, even then, she could also feel many strange gazes from the neighbors.
After all, the man was a foreigner, a rare species in the town, and even walked behind her.
“Look, that is the police station.” San Er pointed and said, “You can go there now, the officers are nice here. You can tell them your situation and they will help you.”
The man frowned and said, “Will you not go with me?”
San Er said directly, “It’s too late now, I have to go home.”
After saying this, San Er grabbed her daughter’s hand, lowing her head and returned to the lane. She turned back once, but it was just a glance.
Because she didn’t want her life to be changed anymore.
The man looked at them disappearing in the lane and stared at the door of the police station vacantly. He suddenly frowned, and he had a strange feeling that he was not quite sure himself.
As if he didn’t want to step into this place by instinct… or those quiet looks surrounding him as he looked around.
Being focused on him.
The man frowned and moved suddenly… He walked to the lane that San Er had followed before. Walking quickly, he soon disappeared.
…
While reading the newspaper.
Gui Qianyi hammered his shoulders. He was old and just experienced an adventure. Gui Qianyi felt that it was quite exciting, “It feels like it just happened yesterday.”
The manager of Elysium Bar said.
“It did happen yesterday.” The barkeeper sitting beside Gui Qianyi said in surprise, “Didn’t it?”
“Gui Qianyi…. Gui Qianyi only turned his newspaper.
“Manager, have some water!” The barkeeper realized that he might have said something wrong, so he brought a cup of tea in a hurry as an apology.
Gui Qianyi stirred the tea with the cover of the cup and had a sip. He then recovered his tranquility again.
“A peaceful life is great.” Gui Qianyi breathed out in comfort, and suddenly asked curiously, “What’s that?”
The barkeeper followed Gui Qianyi’s sight, seeing the steel poles upright in the dance bar, “Oh! Boss told me to get some steel poles for dancing!”
“Really.” Gui Qianyi nodded, then asked in puzzlement, “But why is this one so ugly?”
It looked like a black rusty poker… but it was much longer than that.
“I don’t know, I picked it up by the door this morning.”
The barkeeper shrugged his shoulder, “Boss asked to get four steel poles, but I only found three, so I just used this for a while and will replace it once I get a better one.”
Gui Qianyi shook his head, “No need for that, Sun Xiaosheng just has a sudden interest in this for a while and he will forget about it later. This steel pole is a little ugly and thin, but those monsters don’t know much about pole dancing at all. So, don’t waste anymore! Young people should be thriftier!”
The barkeeper didn’t dare to call his boss like that. However, he didn’t want to offend Gui Qianyi. So he smiled and said, “You are right, then let us just use this.”
…
Su Zijun came in the club alone this time.
The boss watering the flowers was not surprised by the little butterfly monster’s absence.
You Ye smiled and nodded, “Miss Zijun, welcome.”
“Let’s get to the point.” Su Zijun glanced around the club and said directly, “Get prepared and I will take you to the tomb.”
Before Su Zijun said that she would use this tomb as the transaction fee, Luo Qiu had already got the information of the tomb via the altar.
Without Su Zijun, no one could find the tomb, let alone open it—Of course, the club was not included in this.
But if the potential customer would like to give the evil souls in the tomb as the transaction fee, Luo Qiu would definitely not waste so much effort to open it.
“You Ye, stay here, I will go with Miss Zijun.” Luo Qiu said casually.
Hearing this, Su Zijun turned back, and said calmly, “We will take the river to the sea. I will wait for you under the bridge over the east river. Go and get prepared, it will take at least four or five days this time.”
“Miss Zijun.” Luo Qiu shouted.
“Anything else?” Su Zijun frowned and seemed a little impatient.
Luo Qiu smiled and said, “We don’t have to do it like this.”
…
With a flash of darkness and a flash of coldness, Su Zijun found she was already under the gloomy water.
She could even sense clearly that the tomb was just nearby.
They came here silently… This was quite horrifying compared to Long Xiruo! And she could not find any strain on the face of the club boss.
While Luo Qiu was… watching the marine organisms in the deep sea.
“This is an anglerfish, right?”
Luo Qiu looked at them with interest.
