Chapter 10 Part Two: Someone Nobody Knows

I got into the car with Bu Lianchang. Bu Lianchang's home is in a medium-sized residential area. A fairly large room, the unit on that floor, is a Chinese medicine doctor, so it can be considered very quiet. And his income is quite good, so their family can be said to be quite happy. He kept telling me about the situation in his home, and every minute or two, he must sigh: Why didn't my wife come to pick me up at the airport? I comforted him: Your wife just came out of the country, so naturally she is not that flexible. Bu Lianchang couldn't help laughing: She has been out for half a year, and she has already adapted to city life.Oh, why didn't she come to pick me up?You said, will she not know me?

I said: How could that be?You are her husband, how can there be a wife who doesn't know her husband? Bu Lianchang's smile disappeared immediately, and he became frowning again: But why don't Captain Gu and the others know me?Are they ganging up on me? I shook my head and said: Stop thinking about it! Bu Lianchang smiled wryly, and said: "And those people in the company, they obviously know me, why do they say they don't know me?" I can't answer that either. This is really inexplicable.If Bu Lianchang was indeed one of them, how could people not recognize him?Naturally, not all the people would unite and lie unanimously, saying that they did not know Bu Lianchang.

And Bu Lianchang told such a lie, what is his purpose? If Bu Lianchang is a crazy person, that is naturally a very reasonable explanation. Then, how could he know the private affairs of those people?Those private matters can only be known by very close friends, not by strangers. My heart was full of doubts, so I didn't even know where I was driving.It was Bu Lianchang who called out: This is the street, turn in from here! I stopped the car abruptly, and the car had already passed the intersection. I backed into the car and turned into that street. Bu Lianchang pointed to the front: Did you see the signboard of Chinese medicine?My house is on that floor.

I looked forward and saw a big signboard, which read: Three generations of doctors, Bao Cunzhong doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. I drove the car to the gate of the building and stopped. Bu Lianchang opened the door and walked out. He thanked me and closed the door. I saw him walking towards the gate of the building. However, before he entered the building, he backed out again and came to the car, his voice trembling: I, I hope you can go with me. I asked strangely: why? Bu Lianchang clenched his fists: I'm a little scared! I naturally know why he is afraid. He is afraid that his wife and his children will not know him.If this kind of worry happened to someone else, it would be the most ridiculous thing in the world!

However, I feel that Bu Lianchang has already had such a terrible experience, so his worries are not superfluous. I immediately said: "Okay, I will go up with you." I got out of the car, closed the door, and walked into the building with him.He was very familiar with the topography of the building, and strode in, and I followed behind him. I saw him nodding with a watchman of a building when he was about to walk to the elevator.The watchman also nodded to him. Bu Lianchang looked very happy, but I felt a chill in my heart, because I saw that as soon as Bu Lianchang walked over, a look appeared on the watchman's face, and he looked at him from behind. Bu Lianchang glanced at me again.

Judging from the look on his face and demeanor, in his eyes, Bu Lianchang was clearly a stranger! Naturally, I didn't make a sound, we walked into the elevator together, and a middle-aged woman came in with a vegetable basket. I was really afraid that Bu Lianchang knew the middle-aged woman and greeted her again! Bu Lianchang really knew the middle-aged woman, he called out: "Seventh Aunt, I just came back from shopping, is Xiaobao still mixing tonic medicine at Doctor Bao's?"In fact, children who are weaker don't need to take tonic! As Bu Lianchang spoke, the middle-aged woman looked at Bu Lianchang with an extremely strange expression.

Bu Lianchang also felt that the other party's expression was very wrong, so his face turned pale again. The elevator stopped on the third floor, and the middle-aged woman pushed open the door as soon as the elevator stopped and walked out in a hurry. Bu Lianchang stood there dumbfounded. I could see that his body was trembling slightly, but I didn't make a sound. I really had nothing to say. The facts were obvious. He knew the middle-aged woman, but that The middle-aged woman didn't know him at all! The strange expression on the middle-aged woman's face is naturally very explainable.In the elevator, it is not surprising that a stranger comes to talk to you, but when the stranger knows the situation in your home, it is very strange!

The elevator continued to ascend, and the atmosphere in the elevator was extremely embarrassingly stiff. The elevator stopped on the seventh floor, and Bu Lianchang's hands were shaking. He pushed open the elevator door, and I walked out with him.He grabbed my arm and turned his head: that woman just now was Seventh Aunt. When I was not out at sea, I often played cards with her, but she and her I didn't let him continue, so I interrupted him and said: Don't talk, after you get home, take a good rest, it will be different. I almost supported Bu Lianchang and walked forward. We stopped in front of the door of Block G. On the white wall next to that door, the words of Bao Cunzhong, a Chinese medicine doctor, were also painted.

Bu Lianchang was stunned for a while, took a deep breath, and reached out to ring the doorbell.The door opened a crack first, and was connected by an iron chain. A fat woman stood in the crack, looking out. Before Bu Lianchang could speak, the fat woman said: "Doctor Bao hasn't started seeing patients yet, so you go to the street for a while before you come back!" At that time, Bu Lianchang swayed and almost fell down. I quickly supported him. He said in a voice almost moaning: Mrs. Bao, I am Abu, why don't you know me? The look on the fat woman's face was still very puzzled, but Bu Lianchang suddenly became irritable: "Open the door quickly!"Where is my wife?She should know that I'm back today, why didn't she come to pick me up?

The look on the fat woman's face became even more puzzled, and she said: "Your wife?"Sir, who are you? Bu Lianchang's lips were trembling, but he was unable to speak. I hurriedly said, "He is your tenant. He lives with you. His name is Bu Lianchang, and he is your tenant!" The fat woman shook her head: You have found the wrong house, we have two rooms rented out, but not to him, but to a couple with two children! At this moment, there was a noise of children, and I saw an eight or nine-year-old boy and a six or seven-year-old girl running out of a room chasing after each other.

Naturally, Bu Lianchang also saw them, and Bu Lianchang immediately called out: Yaniu, Yazhu! The two children were running, but when Bu Lianchang yelled, they stopped suddenly, and Bu Lianchang said again: "Ya Niu, Ya Zhu, your father is back, where is your mother?"Open the door to me quickly. The two children came to the door, raised their heads, and looked at Bu Lianchang. There was already a very friendly smile on Bu Lianchang's face, but when he saw the expressions of the two children, the smile on his face , but froze!The two children looked at him, and the girl asked: Brother, who is this man? The boy shook his head: I don't know. I hastily pushed Bu Lianchang away, squatted down, and said, "Little brother, what's your name?" The boy said: Me?My name is Bu Jinsheng. I hurriedly said again: What's your father's name? The boy blinked: his name is Bu Lianchang! I straightened up, the boy's father was Bu Lianchang! And the person next to me is Bu Lianchang, but that boy doesn't know him! Immediately after I stood up, Bu Lianchang squatted in front of the door again, and said anxiously: "Look clearly, Ya Niu, I am your father, you Ya Niu shook his head, Bu Lianchang became anxious, and said: Ya Niu, do you remember the clay doll set of Journey to the West that I bought for you? Ya Niu opened his eyes wide and showed a very strange expression. While sucking his finger, he said: Hey, how do you know? Bu Lianchang almost cried: I bought it for you! Ya Niu shook his head: No, you didn't buy it for me, it was my father who bought it for me! I already felt that the situation was very serious. The fat lady didn't seem to want this matter to continue. She pushed the door hard, trying to close the door, but at this moment, Bu Lianchang suddenly slammed hard as if going crazy. on the gate. I didn't know that Bu Lianchang would have such great force. When he hit him, there was a bang, and the iron chain that held the door was broken by him, and he also rushed into the house. The fat woman screamed in fright, there is nothing scarier in the world than a fat woman screaming, so I hurried in and said: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, he has no malicious intentions!" Bu Lianchang slammed open the door and rushed in. Adding the fat woman's screams and my voice, it was really amazing. I saw other people in the room also came out.There was a tall middle-aged man, he might be the TCM physician surnamed Bao, as soon as he came out, he yelled at Bu Lianchang: "Who are you, what are you doing here?" From another room, a thin woman with a sad face walked out. As soon as the woman came out, two children, Ya Niu and Ya Zhu, rushed to her side and shouted: Mom!mom! After Bu Lianchang rushed into the room, he just stood there in a daze, trembling. It wasn't until the woman came out that he called out in a hopeful voice: Caizhen, I'm back! The woman was taken aback: who are you? Bu Lianchang's body was shaking and he almost fell down. I hurried over and asked the woman, "Sister-in-law, you don't know him, he is Bu Lianchang!" The woman was taken aback: Bu Lianchang?He has the same name and surname as my husband! Bu Lianchang's lips were trembling, and he couldn't make a sound. I knew that when he spoke, he must mean that I am your husband. I waved to him, signaling him not to rush to speak. Because I feel that the matter is almost at the stage of getting to the bottom of the truth, because there is indeed Bu Lianchang, and Bu Lianchang also has a wife and children. The situation is the same as what Bu Lianchang next to me said, but suddenly, everyone They just didn't recognize him. So I asked: Mrs. Bu, where is your husband? The expression on Mrs. Bu's face was even more sad. She first glanced at the two children beside her, and then patted their heads: "Go into the room!" Ya Niu and Ya Zhu walked into the room obediently. Only then did Mrs. Bu sigh and said: Sir, my husband is dead. I have never dared to tell my children that their father is no longer alive! I was taken aback, and in an instant, I suddenly remembered such things as resurrecting a dead body. I hurriedly asked again: What is your husband's occupation? He was a seaman, serving on a ship, and I was notified only a few days ago that he had been killed while the ship was in a port in South America.Mrs. Bu burst into tears. Although Bu Lianchang was repeatedly signaled by me to keep silent, he finally couldn't help it and shouted: Caizhen, what nonsense are you talking about?Am I not standing in front of you? Mrs. Bu was taken aback, shaking her hands wildly: Sir, don't talk nonsense. I said again: Mrs. Bu, his voice doesn't sound like your husband? Of course not! I suddenly had a very strange idea. I was thinking that after Bu Lianchang was rescued from the sea, he might not have looked in the mirror, that is to say, he might have never seen himself. If, let him look in the mirror, he does not recognize himself, then, although the matter is still unbelievably weird, at least it can be explained by resurrecting the dead. As soon as I thought of this, I immediately picked up the mirror in a corner, handed it to Bu Lianchang, and said, "Look, look at yourself, do you know yourself?" Bu Lianchang said angrily: What are you kidding? But I still insisted: What does it matter if you see it? Bu Lianchang angrily took the mirror and took a picture: Of course it was me, how could I not recognize myself?I couldn't help but smiled wryly. From the looks of it, it was obviously not some kind of resurrection of the dead, but suddenly, after one Bu Lianchang died, another Bu Lianchang came out, and the extra Bu Lianchang was unknown to anyone. He knows himself. This can be said to be the strangest thing in the world! I thought quickly in my mind, and I thought about many thoughts. The first thing I thought of was, what did Bu Lianchang, who died in South America, look like? I said again: Mrs. Bu, there is one more thing I want to trouble you with. You must have a photo of your husband. Can you show it to me? Mrs. Bu looked at me for a while, probably she didn't think I was a bad person, so she turned and entered the room. At that time, Bu Lianchang sat down on a sofa and covered his face with his hands. The Chinese medicine doctor and his fat lady were full of hostility, and focused on Bu Lianchang and me. I had to try to put on a smile to both of them. Mrs. Bu only went for a minute or two, and then came out, holding a few photos in her hand. It may be that she saw the photo and thought of her husband again, so tears filled her eyes.She handed the photo to me, it was a group photo of their family. I just glanced at those photos, and I couldn't help but feel sorry for Bu Lianchang who was sitting on the sofa and covered his face! Standing beside the woman and the two children was a man with a very stout figure. That man had no resemblance to the man who called himself Bu Lianchang. I pointed to the man and asked: Is this your husband? Mrs. Bu nodded with tears in her eyes. I looked towards Dr. Bao, and Dr. Bao immediately said, "Yes, that's Mr. Bu Lianchangbu." I handed the photo to Mrs. Bu, and then, walking towards the sofa, I patted Bu Lianchang on the shoulder: let's go! As soon as my fingers touched Bu Lianchang's shoulder, Bu Lianchang jumped up as if he had been electrocuted: Where am I going?This is my home, I'm home, where am I going? Mrs. Bu and Dr. Bao and his wife looked at him in surprise. Dr. Bao said sharply: If you don't leave, I will call the police! I hurriedly said: No need to call the police, let's go! Bu Lianchang yelled, "I won't go!" I said in a deep voice: "Mr. Bu, if you don't leave now, there is no solution. The difficulties you have encountered may be unique in the world. No one knows you!" Bu Lianchang said: They are all crazy! I smiled wryly: things will be resolved one day, I think, now you have no way to stay here, because they don't know you at all.I have a proposal, you come to my house to stay for a while, what do you think? Bu Lianchang laughed in a weird voice: People I know don't know me at all, but you, who I don't know at all, are willing to help me! I couldn't answer his words, so I had to say: This world is very abnormal, isn't it? Bu Lianchang lowered his head and walked slowly towards the door. When he reached the door, he was still reluctant to part. He turned around and glanced at Mrs. Bu: Caizhen, you really don't know me anymore? Mrs. Bu shook her head quickly, and I said: Mrs. Bu, your name is Caizhen? Mrs. Bu showed a very strange expression, and said: How did he know my name?Few people know my name! Bu Lianchang laughed again: I naturally know your name. I have been married to you for several years. Do you still remember that when we first met in the countryside, it was Aunt Abao who brought you to my house. You wore A dress with red flowers on a blue background, hair tied with a red headband, and she didn't say a word when she saw me, remember? Mrs. Bu's body trembled violently. Although Mrs. Bu did not speak, but from her demeanor, there was no doubt that everything Bu Lianchang said was true. While trembling, Mrs. Bu still shook her head: No, you are not my husband. Bu Lianchang turned gray, turned around, and walked out. I followed him. When we reached the door, he turned around and apologized to Dr. Bao and his wife, but they closed the door in a hurry. Bu Lianchang stood blankly at the door, and I helped him into the elevator, out of the building, and helped him into my car. I sat beside him and glanced at him. Bu Lianchang murmured: Why?They don't know me at all? With my hands on the steering wheel, my mind was in turmoil. I said: It's very strange. There really was a man named Bu Lianchang who was also a sailor, but his shipping company was obviously different from yours. He went to South America and died there. Bu Lianchang stared blankly, unable to make a sound. I sympathize with him very much: Now, it seems that there is no way to prove your existence! Bu Lianchang murmured: If they don't know me at all, then how can I know them?I am obviously the third officer on the lucky ship, why is everything different after the ship has an accident and I am rescued? I looked at him, and his expression was extremely painful. I really had no doubts about everything he said. There were many things that he would never have known if he hadn't been for Brian Chang. However, he was not that Bu Lianchang. I started the car, and Bu Lianchang was sitting beside me, muttering to himself all the time. It seemed that his nerves were already abnormal. This is really no wonder for him, think about it, anyone, who can maintain normal nerves if they have suffered like him?All of a sudden, everyone he knew no longer knew him, even his wife and children had never seen him before! What a terrible thing! When he arrived at my home, he seemed to be drunk, walking staggeringly. Bai Su came out to greet him. Seeing Bu Lianchang, she couldn't help being stunned. She asked me who it was with a wink. I didn't answer her immediately. I asked Bu Lianchang to sit down and poured him a glass of brandy, hoping that the wine would calm his nerves. I pulled Bai Su aside and told her what happened to Bu Lianchang in the simplest way in a low voice. Being with me for many years, Bai Su has naturally encountered many strange things. But judging from the look on her face at this moment, she must also think that it was the strangest thing that happened to her. After she had listened to my words, we came to Bu Lianchang together.I introduced Bai Su to Bu Lianchang: Mr. Bu, this is my wife. Bu Lianchang just looked at Bai Su in a daze, and Bai Su sat down opposite him, and said in a soft voice: Mr. Bu, this matter is actually very easy to solve. When Bai Su said such a sentence suddenly, not only Bu Lianchang's eyes widened immediately, but I was also surprised. I hurriedly said: Bai Su, what can you do? Bai Sudao: Mr. Bu said that he is the third officer on the cargo ship Jixiang, but no one knows him. As far as I know, the crew on a ship always have the habit of taking pictures together Before Bai Su finished speaking, Bu Lianchang and I jumped up together! When I jumped up, I couldn't help but patted my head with my hand, complaining why I didn't think of this! This is indeed very easy to solve. If Bu Lianchang appeared in the photo, it naturally means that he really exists! And after Bu Lianchang jumped up, he immediately screamed: Yes, we once took a photo together at the entrance of the company. Twenty-four of us took a photo together. I stood in the second row, as if It is the eighth person from the left, beside the second officer! I hurriedly said: That's fine, anyway, you will go to the company early tomorrow morning, and this photo can prove that you are one of them! Bu Lianchang finally got a little angry, and he hurriedly said, "I'm going now!" I said: Don't be so anxious, anyway, there is already evidence! But Bu Lianchang was very stubborn, and he said again: No, I'm going now, I want them to understand that it's because they can't remember me, not me talking nonsense! I nodded and said: Well, I don't think you need me to accompany you anymore! Bu Lianchang said: Of course, of course, I'm really sorry to have troubled you for so long. I was also happy for him, seeing him walk out happily.However, shortly after he left the door, my joy gradually disappeared, because, I thought, things would never be so simple!Because, the people who don't know him are not only the crew members on the auspicious freighter, but also the company's employees and his family! If Bu Lianchang was in the photo, then things would become even more complicated!Because the crew did not remember Bu Lianchang at all, and it can be explained that everyone was stimulated when they were in distress (this may actually hardly exist).However, how could the staff of the shipping company and his family not know him? I sat on the sofa and thought about it, without a clue, because it was really hard to figure out. After half an hour, the phone rang suddenly, Bai Su picked up the phone, and I heard a man shout: Is there a Mr. Wesley?We are a steamship company! In that man's voice, I heard Bu Lianchang shout again: Not this one, not this one, you changed the photo, why did you do that? I can hear the voice on the other side of the phone, and I can tell that the place where the call is made is in chaos, so everyone is letting go of their throats and yelling. I stood up, did not answer the phone, and said loudly: Tell them, I will go immediately, tell them not to call the police! I ran out the door, jumped into the car, and ran through three red lights to the steamship company. I saw a police car parked at the gate of the shipping company, and I knew that the staff of the shipping company had called the police. I rushed into the shipping company, only to see Bu Lianchang struggling with all his might, held hostage by two police officers. His face was full of anger, his face was flushed red, and he made a strange sound like the howling of a wild animal. I hurriedly said, "Bu Lianchang, please be quiet!" A table in the shipping company was overturned, and several female employees, pale with fright, hid in a corner, and a police officer came to me: who are you? I was stunned for a while, who am I from Bu Lianchang?No one, but in that situation, I had no choice but to say: I am his friend! The police officer said: Your friend is not normal? I smiled wryly, but I have no way to answer this question, because I have known him for only a few hours! I had to ask back: what did he do? An employee of the shipping company came over, holding a photo in his hand: This person rushed into the company and said he wanted to see the photos of all the crew members of the Auspicious Ship. Begging, who knew that when he saw it, he went crazy! In the hands of the staff member, I took the photo. There were more than 20 people in the photo. I saw the second row, and I counted to the eighth. It was a young man in his twenties, definitely not Bu Lianchang. I looked at Bu Lianchang, and Bu Lianchang shouted: "Not this one, Mr. Wei, not this one!" The company employee said: We don't know what he meant, he insisted that he should be in that photo, between the second officer and the telegraph operator, but look at this photo! I looked at the photo again and couldn't help but smile wryly. The police officer waved his hand and said: Take him away, you are his friend, you can vouch for him. Bu Lianchang was still struggling and shouting. I held the hope in case, and asked the staff member: Sir, before the freighter Auspicious set off, the crew only took this whole photo? The clerk probably thought I was crazy too, he stared and said impatiently: It's not a wedding photo, how many styles do I need to take? Two police officers held Bu Lianchang hostage and walked out.At that moment, I can already be sure that there is absolutely no trace of splicing or superimposition in the photo.The police officer asked me: Do you vouch for him? I nodded and said: Naturally. Then please go to the police station together. I had no other choice. I got to know an extra person like Bu Lianchang out of a moment of curiosity. I arrived at the police station with Bu Lianchang and left an hour later.Bu Lianchang's face became even paler.I look at him.He said slowly: I don't want to trouble you anymore. I said: It's not troublesome or not, I think, there must be someone who knows you, I will think of a way for you! The way I came up with was to publish an enlarged photo of Bu Lianchang on the first pages of all major newspapers in the city, hoping that anyone who knew him would come and contact me immediately. My second solution is to entrust Xiao Guo to investigate everything about Bu Lianchang who died in South America. And I temporarily placed Bu Lianchang in my import and export company to do a job he can do. Bu Lianchang's photo was published in the newspaper for seven consecutive days. Seven days later, almost as soon as Bu Lianchang walked on the street, someone recognized him as the weird guy who published a picture of someone who knew me in the newspaper. I contact. On the seventh day, Xiao Guo's investigation report was also sent. That Bu Lianchang was a sailor, 30 years old this year, and his position was the third officer. stabbed to death.Left a wife, a son, a daughter. Xiao Guo's investigation report is very detailed. In addition to the photo of Bu Lianchang, there are also photos of his survivors. The woman in the photo is familiar with a boy and a girl, and I have seen them all. After I finished reading the investigation report sent by Xiao Guo, I couldn't help being stunned for a while. Because I can't even imagine what it was like. In the world, there is indeed a Bu Lianchang, but that Bu Lianchang is already dead. There is extremely solid evidence, which is an undeniable fact. However, there was another person who thought of himself as Bu Lianchang. He knew everything about the deceased Bu Lianchang's family, but on the other hand, his life background was completely different from that of Bu Lianchang. What is even more puzzling is that the current Bu Lianchang, before he appeared, no one knew him at all, and the way he appeared was also extremely strange. He was taken from the sea after the accident on the cargo ship Auspicious. He was rescued together with other crew members. Leaving aside all the inconceivable things, just talking about how he was able to drift on the sea is already extremely inconceivable! Until now, this Bu Lianchang has not been able to provide any evidence (except what he said himself) that can prove that he appeared in this world before he was rescued at sea! None of the people he knew knew him. He said that he had taken a photo with everyone, but when the photo was taken out, there was not even his shadow in the photo. I stayed for a long time and couldn't help laughing bitterly. At that time, I was in the office of my import and export company. I stayed for a while, and then I pressed the button of the intercom, notified my female secretary, and said: Please come and see me. I heard the female secretary immediately say: Weird, the chairman invites you in. I couldn't help but smiled wryly. I put Bu Lianchang in my company. All the colleagues in the company started calling him Weird from the second day onwards. Until now, Weird has almost replaced his original name. up. Of course, I can't blame my colleagues in the company, because Bu Lianchang is indeed a weird person, he is really weird, he is a sudden, extra person, there is no him in this world, but he suddenly came!
