Lu Weifu upstairs

Chapter 106

A month later.

Midsummer is here, and this evening is a good time to eat barbecue and drink beer. Greeting three or two friends, sitting down in an air-conditioned tavern, having a bite of beef kebabs, and talking a few jokes or gossips, it is very comfortable.

The four of them sat in such a small tavern, surrounded by the sound of joking and gossip, and the air was indeed cumin and spicy from barbecue.There was a lot of voices, only the table in their corner was silent, three men and one woman faced each other, the atmosphere was really delicate.

In fact, the two female students at the next table had already sneaked a lot of glances at them: a handsome boy was leaning over to pour wine for a man in a wheelchair. The man wore a pair of thin black-rimmed glasses and had heroic features.In contrast, the two on the other side seemed a little distant. The tall man was wearing a shirt and trousers, with a solemn expression on his face. The woman beside him was wearing a simple dark green dress, holding a teacup in both hands and slowly sipping.

None of the four people spoke, until a plate of garlic and eggplant was served, and Zhao Xin raised his wine glass. He first looked at Liu Yusheng, then at Xu Yihan and Deng Yuan, and said, "Then let's start."

Xu Yihan raised his glass: "I respect you first, Zhao Xin."

Zhao Xin looked at the green tea in his cup: "Have you quit drinking?" He remembered that Xu Yihan used to drink heavily when he was in England.

"No," Xu Yihan smiled, with a helpless tone, "How dare I drink today?"

Zhao Xin nodded to show he understood, reached out to clink glasses with Xu Yihan, and after a crisp sound, the two of them drank tea and the other drank wine.

After that, Xu Yihan respected Liu Yusheng again, still replacing wine with tea.

Deng Yuan pinched the cup and looked at Zhao and Liu: "Then I will toast you too, is that okay?"

Zhao Xin waved his hand: "You don't need to be so polite." This time, his tone was much gentler.

Liu Yusheng followed suit and nodded: "You have also... worked hard."

They all knew what it meant for Xu Yihan to serve tea - it was an apology and a thank you.

In the past month, Xu Yihan and Deng Yuan have been running around in the north, from Zhengzhou to Xuchang, to Baoding, and finally all the way to Shaanxi.Some victims refused to mention all their experiences of "righteousness". Some victims were tearful when facing them but dared not face the camera. Two victims even asked for 20 yuan when they opened their mouths.In the end, there were five victims who appeared in the video, two showed their faces directly, and three released interview recordings.Among the two who showed their faces was Deng Yuan.

They finally made a crude video. Due to the rush of time, some dialect words of the interviewees were not even converted into Mandarin in the subtitles.But despite its roughness, the video runs a full 102 minutes—and that’s after a savagely edited cut—while the original was more than 150 minutes long.

This 102-minute documentary is titled "Record of Zhengxin Sanatorium" in Henan, and it is divided into "'Zhengxin Sanatorium' in Zhengzhou", "Patients of 'Zhengxin Sanatorium'", "'Current Zhengxin Sanatorium'" Three parts, the narration is a slightly hoarse female voice.

At [-]:[-] tonight, this documentary will be published on Weibo. Afterwards, the various self-media that Xu Yihan paid a lot of money to deal with Xu Yize will forward this documentary one after another.

At this juncture, Zhao Xin called Xu Yihan: "Do you need our help?"

So there was this meeting in the tavern.

During this month, Zhao Xin and Liu Yusheng both stayed in Shanghai. The two of them were dating and writing at the same time, but nothing had changed—but if you look closely, you can still find that their cheeks have become rounder.No way, couples in love can't help but go out to eat and drink.On the contrary, Xu Yihan and Deng Yuan lost a lot of weight, and under the wind and sun, they also turned dark.Especially Xu Yihan, after he returned to Shanghai, he changed into his old shirt and found that the sleeves were a bit swollen.

The barbecue they ordered was served one after another, everyone moved their chopsticks, and the atmosphere finally became a little more relaxed.Zhao Xin asked Xu Yihan: "What about after that?"

Xu Yihan: "I don't know either."

He really didn't know.

Although their original intention was to record those nameless sufferings, when the documentary was finished, they all realized that this film would definitely bring some real impacts—government departments, medical systems, minority groups... ...the film touches too much sensitive ground.What kind of consequences will this film bring after it is released on the Internet?Will they be arrested on certain charges?Will this film cause an uproar and be banned?Just as Lu Xun "has always been unafraid to speculate on the Chinese with the worst malice", Xu Yihan has also prepared for the worst in various senses.But in front of Deng Yuan, he didn't want to say it.

Zhao Xin didn't ask any more questions, but instead asked, "How is the situation with Xu Yize?"

"It's nothing," Xu Yihan sighed softly, "It happened several years ago, and the relationship was established by Lao Xu himself at that time... What can I do? I heard from Xu Yipeng that Xu Yi asked Zhang Li to make an offer, and wanted to give the price to Zhang Li. Money matters."

Liu Yusheng was stunned: "Zhang Li has reached this point...he still thinks that money can settle things?"

"But at present, this is the most beneficial solution for Zhang Li," Xu Yize shook his head, "Zhang Li's sister passed away, and that brother-in-law went abroad again. No one can tell what happened back then—— Xu Yi said that he was set up to extort money, and Zhang Li said that her sister was raped. Did her sister do it voluntarily? There is no way to investigate. Although there is some heat in this matter now, it is only People in the literature circle will pay attention, and after a while, maybe no one really cares. It is difficult to reverse the case, Zhang Li alone is weak, and Xu Yi wants to take revenge on her in the future, there are many ways..."

Xu Yihan's eyes showed a bit of unbearable, he took a sip of tea, and said in a low voice: "But Zhang Li will definitely not ask for money, she will just go all out, I understand."

Xu Yihan's "I understand" contained too much meaning, and Zhao Xin thought to himself that he, like Zhang Li, had "gave it all"—otherwise he wouldn't have burnt Lao Xu's hair with his own hands a month ago, and he wouldn't have died in Xu's family. When several high-level executives came to the door, they replied, "I don't care about it."What they do are things that are likely to have no results, and they know that they can't do it. In fact, this sentence is never passionate or magnificent, but it seems a bit sad.

After eight o'clock, Xu Yihan settled the bill, and the four of them walked out of the tavern together.Liu Yusheng and Zhao Xin went to the subway station, Xu Yihan and Deng Yuan walked home, and happened to drop in with them.The poplar trees on the side of the road are already lush and lush, and the shadows of the trees fall on the ground densely.It seems that summer nights are always so light.

Zhao Xin and Liu Yusheng said that they will use the two Weibo accounts @canned hairtail fish and @Donaldson to forward the documentary.

Xu Yihan moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just said after a few minutes of silence: "Thank you."

Liu Yusheng comforted them: "This kind of exposure has happened before, the most is...delete Weibo."

Zhao Xin also said: "And the deletion is not clean, someone will keep your documentary, just like... some."

Xu Yihan and Deng Yuan looked at each other and smiled: "Really? Like some, even if they are locked, they can still live in the network disk."

"That's right," Liu Yusheng said firmly, "Someone will see it."
