On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, I stayed at my aunt Lanjiaping's house for one night. Lan Feiyang heard from her aunt that her cousin was about to give birth to a baby, and the old couple would go to Dongguan, Guangdong to attend the confinement period after the Lantern Festival.
Lan Qing said jokingly: "Mom, you and dad can live in Dongguan from now on. You can save the time of traveling back for two months and leaving again after the Chinese New Year."
"Do you live in Dongguan? Do you want us to help you take care of your children in the future?" my aunt asked with a narrow smile.
"...Anyway, it's still early. We'll come back and take him with him then. If that doesn't work, you can take him to your sister and brother-in-law." Lan Qing choked for a few seconds and then said with a smile.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" My uncle's eyes widened, "My wife doesn't have to be in confinement, and my grandson doesn't need to breastfeed? Besides, we, the old couple, have no reason to talk to our daughter!"
The few of them chatted happily until midnight before going to bed. Lan Feiyang took a car to Lai'an the next day.
Because his uncle Lan Shanlin, his aunt, and his cousin were all busy in the store, Lan Feiyang went directly to their popular clothing store.
Fortunately for Lan Shanlin, his aunt and first cousin treated him like a treasure and surrounded him to inquire about his welfare. What's terrible: his aunt is a rich woman, his uncle works in the provincial government, and this nephew (eldest brother) is as shining as gold!
Who doesn't envy their family for having good relatives? Relatives gave them some money, so their family said goodbye to their part-time job and opened a clothing store of their own! And many of the trendy clothes are shipped with logistics first for sale.
Then the payment was given.
There is nothing I can do if I look jealous, my relatives own a clothing company!
Lan Feiyang rubbed his cousin's ponytail lovingly: "Study hard and get admitted to Bohai in the future. Big brother will protect you."
"Yeah!" The cousin nodded with her big eyes shining. The ten-year-old girl helped in the store when she had nothing to do: labeling clothes and pants, using hangers to take clothes for customers to try on, and if the customers were not satisfied, they would sort and hang them up...
...completely looks like a little adult.
"How is my little sister now?" Lan Feiyang asked his uncle again unconsciously.
Lan Shanlin nodded: "Fortunately, he has recovered well. He is just a bit introverted and doesn't like to go out. He stays at home watching TV and doing homework all day."
"Oh, that won't work either. You have to encourage her to go out to play and make more friends." Lan Feiyang sighed.
"No. But she doesn't listen, what should I do?" Auntie shook her head and sighed, "Take your time."
I don’t know why, but Lan Feiyang, who used to hate her aunt, doesn’t hate her anymore. Is it because she has grown up and is sensible, or because she doesn’t want to hold onto those things all the time? Maybe it’s both.
After all, my aunt is also my uncle's wife, and she helped my uncle take care of me when I was a teenager, although the quality of her "care" was not very good.
Lan Feiyang heard his master say that to achieve enlightenment, one must personally experience the sweet, sour, spicy, salty, and other tastes of the human world. Only by truly experiencing the various tastes of the human world can one successfully achieve nirvana. He felt that he had already experienced several tastes such as pain, unwillingness, entanglement, and understanding.
.
In the afternoon and evening, Lan Feiyang went out to visit classmates and teachers; the next day, he had a lively Lantern Festival at his uncle's rented house, and returned by car on the 16th day of the first lunar month.
School is about to start, so it’s okay not to go back.
But as soon as he got on the train, Lan Feiyang received a call from Tingfeng: Zhong Xiuqun's son had been kidnapped, and the other party specified that he would exchange ancient medical books. Zhong Xiuqun was not allowed to report the crime, otherwise he would immediately quarrel.
"What?" Lan Feiyang was shocked. It's true that a man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a treasure! "Do you know who did it?"
"It's either Brother Bao or Fan Jian. If it's Brother Bao, he must be related to Zhou Hao. Otherwise, how would he know that Zhong Xiuqun has ancient medical books?" Tingfeng analyzed.
Lan Feiyang thought the same thing: "If it is Fan Jian, it means that someone from the Ax Gang has been keeping an eye on Xinglinchun, and overheard the conversation where Zhou Hao went to force Zhong Xiu to produce ancient medical books twice. Then he identified the ancient medical books.
There is a recipe for a 'love' medicine."
"That should be it." Tingfeng also nodded in agreement.
"When will they be exchanged?" Lan Feiyang asked unconsciously.
"It seems like this afternoon."
Lan Feiyang couldn't help but feel anxious when he heard: "I won't be here for a while. You can find a way to help Zhong Xiuqun, at least to ensure that her son will not suffer any harm. After all, I am also a special police officer, and they are innocent people. This is my responsibility.
.”
"I understand. I will try my best."
After nearly seven hours of bumpy train ride, Lan Feiyang finally arrived at the brightly lit and crowded Bohai Railway Station. Lan Feiyang hurriedly called Tingfeng to ask him how things were going.
I heard from the news that Zhong Xiuqun had reluctantly exchanged ancient medicine books for his son who was still in shock.
However, after Zhong Rong accompanied her to change several trading locations, and finally exchanged ancient medical books handed down from ancestors for her son, she discovered that their home had been robbed by thieves! Not only were all the cash and valuables lost, but even Boss Zhou and his father spent a lot of money
The annotations in ancient medical books left behind by the painstaking efforts of the past twenty years have also disappeared.
Zhong Xiuqun fainted on the spot.
When Lan Feiyang arrived near Xinglinchun, No. 35 Shunhe Road, he found that people from the criminal police brigade had cordoned off Xinglinchun and were investigating the scene in the bedroom upstairs.
Jin Ling appeared out of nowhere and whispered beside Lan Feiyang: "Brother Lan, Mr. Yang, our boss, is waiting for you at Deyue Building at the corner of the street."
Lan Feiyang glanced sideways at the boy who was once a street thief: "I understand. You go."
"Yes." Jinling immediately pulled up the brim of his hat and left as if he was passing by.
"What do you think?" Lan Feiyang asked Tingfeng as he sat down in the private room.
Tingfeng said respectfully: "According to my analysis and calculation, this thief is very good at lightness. At dusk, before Zhong Xiuqun came back, he sneaked directly into the bedroom and study room from the balcony on the second floor to commit the crime. And he came with a purpose - that is, Ming Ming
According to the ancient medical books and Boss Zhou's annotations, he took those properties just for convenience." Tingfeng said with certainty.
"Where are Zhong Rong and Zhong Xiuqun now? The hospital or the public security bureau?" "They were sent to the hospital first. Zhong Rong was so frightened that she called 120 first and then 110. But the police will definitely follow them to the hospital to ask for a statement."
"Is the child okay?" Lan Feiyang tapped his finger on the table and asked in deep thought.
"It should be fine, I'm just a little frightened." Tingfeng lowered his head slightly, "I'm sorry. The kidnappers changed places from left to right, and it was difficult for me to keep up. There was really no way to snatch the hostages back while ensuring their safety.
That ancient medical book."
Lan Feiyang shook his head: "I don't mean to blame you. Now I leave these to the criminal police team to worry about. The Lantern Festival is over, they should do something good."
Tingfeng's martial arts skills were far different from his own. How could he ask him to be so perfect?
