Chapter 162 Sunset × Baidi City (6200)

"The person you want to find is far away, right in front of you, and right in the place closest to you."

"SB." Xiaopangzhi gave [Ghoul] a delete and block package.

"What a **** internet liar? Damn you." Xiao Pangzhi turned off the screen of his phone, set the alarm clock and put it under his pillow. "You like to use a crawler to capture my chat data, right? It's so fucking disgusting."

He cursed and hid his head in the quilt.

There is a student in the class who is taking a computer training course. Not only does he know programming, but he also participated in a programming competition. When he was in the information class, his classmates told him that masters can invade other people's computers and mobile phones and capture data. This is Call a hacker.

With just a little thought, you can figure out what this guy is like. You really want to fool him, Lu Mingze, into thinking he's a fool, right?

After all, he is also one of the top ten top students in Shilan High School. If you count the college entrance examination ranking, he can be ranked high in the entire city. What has he not seen before?

As a high school student majoring in science, he is about to face the college entrance examination. He can be said to know astronomy and geography from above, and he is a staunch materialist. Fortune telling and divination are just for fun. The power of knowledge is the greatest. .

When you encounter a scammer, the best way is to simply delete and block them. The more you chat, the easier it is to be deceived. Have you ever seen that every year, top students from Tsinghua University and Peking University are defrauded of money, ranging from tens of thousands to tens of millions, or any amount.

Lu Mingze never believed in those nonsense things.

Get away as far as you want, as long as I don’t chat with strangers online, I won’t be cheated!

There are exams tomorrow, don’t think about what you have and what you don’t have!

I have the final say in my life!

The quilt was wrapped tightly around him and he closed his eyes.

On January 1st, this little disturbance was quickly forgotten.

Lu Mingze set up QQ to prohibit strangers from adding and searching, and changed his QQ signature to "It was once difficult to overcome the difficulties."

The next line of this poem is "Except for Wushan, they are not clouds." The literal translation means: If you have seen the turbulent sea, the water elsewhere is not worth mentioning; except for the clouds in Wushan, the clouds elsewhere will pale in comparison.

The whole poem only expresses one meaning: since you left, no one can replace your place in my heart.

It's New Year's Day today, and the cram school also has a day off on January 1st. The teachers also went to New Year's Day. Lu Mingze didn't have any classes today, so he stayed at home and did his homework.

There are two test papers each for Mathematics, Chinese, and English. There is only one set for Science and Comprehensive Studies. However, you have to correct your scores according to the answers and correct your mistakes. You should record all the wrong questions in the wrong question book and take them to the class teacher for inspection.

The overall workload was not too much. He worked at his desk all morning and only finished half of it.

After lunch, his parents went out to play cards, and he continued doing math. At two or three o'clock, he suddenly heard the sound of the door opening.

At this point, unless there is a fire at home, parents will never put down the mahjong tiles in their hands and run back. Then there is only one answer, Lu Mingfei is back.

He put down the pen in his hand and walked out of the room, just in time to see Lu Mingfei carrying a suitcase and a bag.

It was no different from when he left. He was wearing the old coat he usually wore. His hair was still black and not dyed green. He didn't wear any earrings, nose rings, or tongue studs. He looked like he was coming back from school at Shilan High School. Same, commonplace.

Only the suitcase showed the fact that he had returned from afar.

"Long time no see." Lu Mingfei closed the door and greeted with a smile: "Are uncle and aunt going to play cards?"

"Yes, I'll probably come back after 5 o'clock." Lu Mingze said, "The bed is still reserved for you. Mom will take care of it every month. You can put your things on it by yourself. The previous layout has not changed."

"Okay." Lu Mingfei nodded, walked into the room, and packed things.

Within a few minutes after entering the door, he went to the bathroom to turn on the bathroom heater and started looking for a change of clothes.

The sound of running water from the shower head came from the bathroom.

Lu Mingze ignored him, put away the test papers and pens, turned on the laptop in sleep mode, and prepared to cancel the QQ account that had been hanging up.

Click on the small icon in the lower right corner, and a text at the top flashes past.

[The person you want to find is far away, right in front of you, and right in the place closest to you. 】

It’s a chat record with that Internet scammer. On QQ, if you don’t delete it manually, the record will not disappear. Even if you delete your friends, it will not disappear. Moreover, this is a small account. No one will take the initiative to give "Snake" "Send a message and push the record down.

In the past few days, he has been busy with exams and New Year's Day party performances. Every day, he hastily went online to take a look and then shut down, so he has been putting it off until now.

He right-clicked to delete, quit QQ, and clicked the penguin icon again, wanting to delete the account data of the trumpet, but when he clicked on the account drop-down menu, he suddenly saw Lu Mingfei's account and avatar.

When Lu Mingfei went abroad, he gave him the QQ farm to take care of. He helped with it until the end of the summer vacation, but then he stopped doing it after school started.

【Far away in the horizon, close before our eyes】

Suddenly, a terrifying idea popped into his head.

"Sunset" was added to "Snake" through account search, which impressed him deeply.

He asked "Sunset", and "Sunset" said that he typed up a bunch of numbers at random, and it was pure fate that he became a friend.

But is there really such a coincidence in the world?

As an outstanding student with a math score of 145 or above, Lu Mingze is very familiar with permutations and combinations.

"Snake"'s QQ account number is 9 digits, a random combination of 9 digits. You can imagine how low the probability that a random string of numbers will match "Snake"'s account, and it's also She happens to be a cute sister, and her hobbies are surprisingly similar to his.

He was in the "dog licking stage" at the time and didn't think much about it. Now that he had calmed down, he suddenly felt a chill on his back, as if his spine had been pulled out, and his body was a little weak.

He has never told anyone he knew in real life. Except for the friends he actively added to online group chats, only "Sunset" took the initiative to add him.

If "Sunset" accurately locates him, then it goes without saying that the most likely person is Lu Mingfei, who lives with him day and night and shares a computer.

He wasn't sure if he deleted the alt account data every time he went offline. After all, after several years, there would always be mistakes.

Thinking about it carefully, Lu Mingfei started to treat him to supper just after "Sunset" lost contact. This time was completely appropriate.

Why did the cousin who used to be incompatible with his horoscope suddenly change his temperament and start inviting him to a barbecue?

Lu Mingfei is also studying in the United States, and "Sunset" is also studying in the United States.

The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. The more scared he became, the more he wanted to think about it. He could hardly control himself and took a deep breath.

Not long after, Lu Mingfei came out of the bathroom with wet hair and asked, "Where's the hair dryer? Do you see where the hair dryer is?"

Wet hair stuck to Lu Mingfei's face, looking slightly feminine. He was only wearing a bathrobe, exposing his collarbone and strong chest muscles.

Lu Mingze swallowed, shifted his gaze, and stood up hurriedly: "It should be in Mom's room. I'll go take a look."

He ran to the next room in panic, picked up the hair dryer on the bedside, and gasped slightly.

It's not that he was fascinated by Lu Mingfei's charm, it was just that he was distracted by random thoughts at the moment and couldn't help but compare Lu Mingfei and "Sunset".

To be honest, he has discovered a lot of matching details.

Every time he chatted with "Sunset", Lu Mingfei was not there, and every time he asked "Sunset" to go out to meet, his mother would take him to piano classes.

There are explanations once or twice, but it is the same every time, without exception.

You must know that the date for his piano class was not fixed. He took private lessons. When other teachers were free, they would notify their parents to tell him to go there, but the "sunset" happened to catch up with him.

Either he is really that bad, or

He didn't dare to think anymore, grabbed his chest, and gasped for air.

"Have you found Chuifeng?" Lu Mingfei's footsteps gradually approached.

He suppressed his panic and patted the fat on his face, "It's here, take it."

"Are you okay? You don't look good." Lu Mingfei took the hair dryer, plugged it into the plug in his aunt's room, and started blowing it in front of the mirror.

"It's okay, I just haven't slept well these past few days." Lu Mingze said, sighing.

"The senior year of high school is stressful, don't think too much, just work hard."

Lu Mingfei's cell phone suddenly rang.

"I am heading north, leaving the season with you."

Lu Mingfei answered the call with his iPhone.

"Hey, um, no problem. I'll fly over. I'll arrive on the 8th. Do you want to pick me up? Okay, okay. Then you can wait for me at the airport. You also invited Senior Brother Chu Zihang? He agreed Are you here? Fingel is coming too? Good guy, here we have another table together."

"Who do you know abroad?" Lu Mingze tried to change the topic.

His mind was completely confused, and he didn't even notice "Chu Zihang".

"Yes, my senior is getting married on the 10th and invited me to attend the wedding banquet." Lu Mingfei said while blowing his hair.

"iPhone? When did you buy it?" Lu Mingze pointed to his mobile phone on the table and said, "Can you show it to me?"

Lu Mingfei handed over the phone: "I bought it in the United States. Didn't the school give me a scholarship?"

"Smartphone." Lu Mingze picked it up and looked around pretending not to care, "I heard that all the software on this phone must be downloaded from the app store, right? The browser can't download the software."

"Indeed, it's a little troublesome. You have to pay for some software." Lu Mingfei unlocked the phone and opened the app store: "Just download it here."

"Wouldn't it mean that I can't download that kind of software?"

"No matter what, I'm a gentleman, okay?"

"Who knows if you're secretly looking at it? Besides, I can't download the software, and there's still a website." Lu Mingze conveniently touched Lu Mingfei's phone and succeeded smoothly.

"Let me see if you are serious or not." He pretended to look through the software, but actually opened the penguin icon, selected settings, and switched accounts.

A bolt from the blue hit him on the head. His avatar was a 15-year-old pretty lolita with short hair, and his account name was "The Scar of the Sunset".

"I said no more, you don't believe it." Lu Mingfei was still blowing and stroking his hair in front of the mirror.

"It's true." Lu Mingze gritted his teeth and switched his account back to Lu Mingfei. "I'm going to do my homework first. Don't disturb me."

"I haven't changed my clothes yet." Lu Mingfei turned around and said.

However, his cousin had disappeared. He went back to his room and knocked on the door, only to find that the door was locked tightly.

"Lu Mingze, I haven't changed my clothes yet. Let me come in and change." Lu Mingfei knocked on the door and said.

There was no reply from the door, but after a few dozen seconds, a crack opened in the door, and his change of clothes was thrown out, and his underwear was found for him. However, after opening it, he immediately closed it again, and no sound was heard. .

"Are you studying so hard?"

Lu Mingfei hugged his clothes and went to the sofa in the hall to turn on the TV.

"Ah, the love is deep and the rain is misty. The world is only in your eyes. It's not too late to meet each other, so why rush."

The familiar sound of the theme song played from the television.

On the afternoon of January 8, Lu Mingfei was waiting in the waiting cabin for the plane to take off for Fengjie, Chongqing.

Sitting next to him was his acquaintance, Chu Zihang.

"Hey, I know, Mom, I will definitely send you your blessings. Remember to drink milk at night. I told Aunt Tong, heat it over medium heat for five minutes. Lu Mingfei and I will get on the plane immediately. It is expected to be 5 p.m. If you can be there by about o'clock, please say hello to grandma and me."

Chu Zihang was chatting on the phone with his mother nonstop, like a mama's boy who only obeyed his mother's orders.

This was the first time that Lu Mingfei saw Chu Zihang say so many words in one breath, with a very gentle tone and a smile on his lips.

Chu Zihang’s mother’s voice is very nice, like a 17- or 8-year-old petite little girl. Just hearing the voice, I would never have guessed that her child is already 19. If Chu Zihang hadn’t shouted loudly, it would have easily been misunderstood. He is talking to his girlfriend on the phone.

The two of them talked about the announcement of the ticket check on the radio, and Chu Zihang said goodbye to his mother and hung up the phone.

"I thought Senior Brother Chu Zihang didn't have time to go." Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang walked towards the check-in area.

"My mother heard Ye Sheng calling me, and she happened to be free, so I came."

"Senior brother's mother's voice sounds so gentle."

"She used to be a dancer and had some vocal training." Chu Zihang said with a smile.

When he mentioned his mother, his tone was always gentle, as if he had become a different person.

They got on the plane in first class and talked while flying.

Lu Mingfei thought of the old house where the walls were covered with ivy. Before he was sent to his aunt's house, he lived there with his parents.

At that time, my mother would stay by the desk lamp at night to watch him do his homework. His father would take his mother to study abroad every other day. On weekends, he would take him to the night market stalls to buy cheap shirts worth twenty yuan each.

Thinking about it now, his life is like "The Truman Show". His parents, who he thought were working-class people, turned out to be Kassel's "S-class" commissioners. Even the photos of the junior high school physical examination were taken by hidden observers. .

However, since he entered school, those observers seemed to have disappeared. He had paid special attention to the surrounding atmosphere in the past few days after returning to China, but he did not find anyone following him and secretly taking photos.

The only thing that's a little strange these days is Xiao Pang Zhi. He seems to be not feeling well and goes to bed very early at night.

He would always run out early in the morning with his schoolbag on his back. During the holidays, he would huddle in the door and do his homework. Lu Mingfei had no chance to talk to him, but it didn’t matter. Children in the senior year of high school have to study hard. Studying is the first priority. A very important matter.

Lu Mingfei didn't interfere with him and just settled down to prepare for the next big thing.

He sat by the window and looked at the ground along the window.

This passenger plane was flying to Fengjie, Chongqing. Fengjie belonged to the Jingliang region in the pre-Qin period, and was the territory of Yongguo in the Spring and Autumn Period. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Gongsun Shu's envoy sent Tian Rong out of Jiangguan, captured Wu, Yidao, and Yiling, and occupied Jingmen, Tiger teeth.

On the north bank of the Yangtze River at the mouth of Qutang Gorge in Fengjie County, there is a famous ancient city - Baidi City. Its original name was Ziyang City, but because Gongsun Shu named himself Baidi, the city was named "Baidi City".

This is his next destination. Regardless of whether Ye Sheng invites him to Fengjie for the wedding, he will go to Baidi City.

When the plane arrived at its destination, Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang were relieved.

Ye Sheng waved to the two brothers, "Your equipment has been shipped by the School Engineering Department, and it's in my trunk."

"Sorry to trouble you." Lu Mingfei said.

"Little things." Ye Sheng said.

Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang first went to the trunk to get their respective sabers. Lu Mingfei also had an extra box containing the magic prosthetic hand.

It was originally possible to take a special passage to come here, but Chu Zihang's mother booked passenger tickets for both of them. Unable to accept her kindness, she had no choice but to hand over the equipment to the school engineering department for consignment.

The three of them got into the car, and what was unexpected was that Fingel was also in the car.

"Hey, brother, we meet again." Fingel patted Lu Mingfei on the back, "We haven't seen each other for a year. I miss you so much."

"It's so unlucky that I saw you again not even half a month ago." Lu Mingfei gave him a high-five: "You have returned to Germany, haven't you? Will your family let you out during the Chinese New Year?"

"My Fen family and Ye family are family friends. It's normal for them to have contact with each other." Fingel said, "Besides, Ye Sheng delivers bags to and from them. It would be a pity if I don't come here to give them a meal. China is known for its delicious food." I’ve been coveting the country for a long time, and I’ve never had the chance to come here and have fun.”

"Is the Ye family a big family?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"It's not very big." Ye Sheng started the car. "Among the mixed-race families in China, it ranks in the top ten at most. In Sichuan, it has the longest inheritance. The largest family in China is the Chen family."

"Chen family. Is Nono a member of the Chen family?"

"Yes, she is quite famous in our circle. When I was in preparatory class at BJ, she caused a lot of trouble." Ye Sheng sighed and said, "Being born into a big family is actually quite troublesome, as the saying goes. Well, it’s a century-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family, and the family has many rules, and the clan system is very strict.”

"Then will your family agree to your marriage to Shutoku Aki?"

"I am a child of the clan, so I still have some rights. Moreover, the Ye family's clan laws and rules are mainly aimed at the people of the branch family. Many of them do not have mixed blood, and they don't even know about the dragon clan. Besides, Yaji's bloodline It's not low either, 'B-level' is already very suitable. If I let two 'A-level' get married, the old guys will worry about me, fearing that the excellent bloodline of the Ye family will not be passed down."

Ye Sheng turned on the car music: "But you can get married, and the etiquette must be indispensable. It took a long time to choose the date, and they had to follow the Three Books and Nine Etiquettes. The emperor only had the "Three Books and Six Etiquettes" when getting married. Some were willful. We might as well just do the three rites. It’s the 21st century and they are still doing feudal things.”

"What are the Three Books and Nine Etiquettes?" Fingel asked.

"The three documents refer to the documents that come and go during the betrothal process, including the documents to be written for the engagement, the documents recording the list of gifts, and the documents to be handed over to welcome the bride. The nine rites refer to the process from courtship, matchmaking to marriage and consummation. The formalities are usually only six rites, but some documents record nine rites. In ancient times, only officials of seventh rank or above would perform three rituals and six rites when getting married."

"So, your Ye family used to be officials." Lu Mingfei asked.

"The ancestors of the Ye family have been civil servants since the Han Dynasty." Ye Sheng said: "They have always been well-known local squires. They can also be called a thousand-year-old family. However, the longer a family has been passed down, the more rules it has. Aki didn't even know who her parents were, but the old guys insisted on coming to propose marriage. They all mentioned the Japanese branch, and temporarily installed a large mansion for Aki here. After we returned to China, she was asked to stay there. Living in that house, I asked those old ladies to teach her etiquette and rules every day."

"It's so troublesome." Lu Mingfei swallowed.

"No, I can only see Aki once a month. The wedding is approaching these days, and I can't even see him at all."

"What about your work in the execution department? Are you still going?"

"Go, but Aji and I have been promoted now. We are not executive specialists, but director of the execution department of the Sichuan branch. Aji is my assistant."

"Good guy, is this the power of the family?"

"Only current students will follow the world. After graduation, Kassel will be assigned to you, but those with families will basically go back to the family's residence, which is equivalent to going to Kassel for four years to study. Promotions in the executive department do not depend on your family. Whether there is someone behind the scenes depends on your mission qualifications. If you don't have qualifications, you won't be promoted. All of this is reviewed by Norma and the committee. Besides, the director also has to go on missions. If the general special commissioner mission fails, I and I will Aki will appear."

Ye Sheng and Yaji were promoted probably because of the "Kuimen" project. They were the core specialists of this project. With the qualifications to complete the project, promotion was considered a normal thing.

I think the Three Gorges Bronze City should also be under the control of the Ye family. I wonder what happened to the ancient dragon corpse and whether it is still in China.

"I'll take you to the hotel first. I'll talk about it in detail tomorrow. I still have to deal with those old guys." Ye Sheng said, "The day has finally come for us to get married. I don't even know how I got here these past few months." of."

"Can't you and Yaji even have a phone call?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"You can only write letters." Ye Sheng said, "And each date can't last more than an hour, and it can't be indoors."

"I just want to say now: Farewell! Prison!" Ye Sheng suddenly stepped on the accelerator, and the car rushed out.

Lu Mingfei came to the hotel room. Chu Zihang and Fingel's rooms were next door. Each person had a separate suite. The hotel was booked. Ye Sheng not only invited Lu Mingfei, but also when he was in the academy. The friends he made on the sailing team and those he had some connections with were all invited over by his family.

After all, students who can enter Kassel College, even if they are "C-level", are still geniuses outside and are connections worth fighting for.

Opening the door, Lu Mingfei suddenly saw the huge dragon scales and computer hard drive on the table.

Ling, Su Enxi, and Jiude Mai were sitting on the sofa, seemingly waiting for a long time.

Lu Mingfei didn't show any surprise. He gently closed the door, walked into the room, put down his things as if nothing happened, sat on the sofa, turned on the TV, and turned up the sound.

He had informed Fingel and Chu Zihang in advance, saying that he would take a shower first and contact them later.

Thanks to "Big White Rabbit" for the 500-point reward, and "Prosperity and Beauty Blooming Like a Flower" for the 100-point reward.
