She tried to restrain herself from composing, but she couldn't.

Lu Chi admired her flusteredness, gently tapped his curled fingers on the small table, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Miss Ren really doesn't want to go back and see?"

The sound of his hand tapping on the table made Ren Niannian even more irritable, she looked at him coldly, and said, "I won't worry about you if I go or not." ”

Lu Chi looked smiling, nodded, and said, "I don't worry, he's not my father-in-law, what do I care?"

He stood up slowly and said, "I wish Miss Ren a good dream." ”

He opened the door and walked out, this time he didn't climb over the wall or go any other way, but walked to the door openly, opened the door and left.

I am afraid that he is the only person who is so shameless and arrogant.

Ren Niannian felt a little powerless, and she closed her eyes. originally wanted to call Ren Tianxing, but knew that if he was really controlled by her stepmother, I was afraid that he would not be able to say anything after answering the phone.

Ren Niannian weakly put the phone on the small table. For a moment, she wanted to go to Yu Anhe for help, but remembering the chaos coming back from the temple road, she still didn't make a call after all, he had enough trouble, she couldn't trouble him anymore.

Ren Niannian couldn't sit still, so he immediately went back to the room to change his clothes. Regardless of whether Ren Tianxing was her biological father or not, he was the one who had raised her for more than twenty years, and she couldn't be indifferent.

Ren Niannian's movements were fast, she didn't have any luggage to wait for, she only brought her self-defense things and changed into clothes and went out. At this time, she may not be able to buy a ticket, so she stopped a taxi directly after she went out, planning to take a taxi over.

But it was so far away, and it was a big night, and no driver dared to run for fear of danger. In the end, she had to buy a ticket.

On the way back, her heart flickered with joy and sorrow, and the memories of the past were so clear that they drowned her little by little.

When Ren Niannian got out of the car, the sky was bright, and when she returned to the place where she grew up, she felt in a trance. When she left in embarrassment, she thought that she would never come back in her life.

Little by little, the pain spread, and she sniffled, step by step.

The streets were empty, with the occasional car horn blaring crisp and shrill sound. Breaking the tranquility of the early morning. There was a drizzle in the air, she didn't find a place to shelter from the rain, although she couldn't eat, she still walked to the breakfast stall opposite and asked the boss to come with a cup of soy milk.

Although she was worried about Ren Tianxing's situation, she was still sensible. She knew very well that if she just went to the door, she would be thrown out if no one could even see her, let alone ask what was going on.

After eating a cup of soy milk, she got on the bus and went to Hutou Street. She lived there for a long time in her childhood, and the people left behind in the yard there were all old people who followed his father.

She hadn't been here for a long time, and the walls were crawling with purple vines. The black carved iron gate is deep and secluded, and occasionally the corners and crevices are covered with moss, all of which indicate the years of the yard.

The courtyard was deserted and dilapidated, different from the previous bustle. Ren Niannian's heart gave birth to a little sourness.

As if she was homesick, she didn't even dare to take a step forward. She still mustered up the courage in the end, and was about to step forward to ring the doorbell, when a trembling voice sounded behind her: "Niannian, is it you?"

This is Uncle Hu's voice. Ren Niannian's body stiffened and slowly turned around.

It was Uncle Hu standing behind her, and he went to buy vegetables and came back, carrying a basket of vegetables in his hand. Seeing that it was really Ren Niannian, he dragged his limping feet forward and said excitedly: "It's really you Niannian, where have you been these days? We went everywhere to inquire about you, but we didn't hear anything." ”

This is not the place to speak, he opened the iron door as he spoke, and said, "Come in, your Uncle Fan, they will be very happy to see you." ”

His eyes were filled with tears of excitement, and after entering the courtyard, he called Lao Fan into the house a few times.

Ren Niannian's heart was guilty, when she was driven away, she thought she was a traitor, and almost immediately fled her homeland. I didn't expect that there would be people worried about her.

Her eyes were so astringent that tears were about to fall, and she blinked hard again.

An old man with gray hair soon came out of the room, and he was also excited when he saw Ren Niannian, and said, "Niannian is here, come in, come in." ”

Ren Niannian was quickly welcomed into the house by the two, and as soon as she entered the door, an old lady with meticulously tied hair greeted her, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes as she walked, but she didn't know how many tears there were. After seeing Ren Niannian, he hurriedly went back to the kitchen to pour tea, and when he came back, his eyes were still red, and he put the teacup on the table with a snap, and scolded: "You damn, why didn't you come to us when such a big thing happened?

She trembled with anger.

Ren Niannian's eyes were very red, and she stepped forward and hugged the old lady, and said, "Grandma Hu, don't be angry, it's me who is not good, it's me who is not good." You hit me twice to dissipate my anger. ”

Mrs. Hu was willing to give up on her, hugged her tightly in her arms, touched the bones on her back, and said, "You dead man, you have suffered a lot, haven't you?"

There was pity in her voice.

Ren Niannian shook his head vigorously and said, "No, I'm fine." ”

Once her biological father is no longer her biological father, where will she be okay. Mrs. Hu's eyes were even more red, and it took a while for her to sit down and say, "Don't listen to their nonsense, you are your father's daughter." Your mother is gentle and virtuous, and she can't do anything to be sorry for your father. ”

Ren Niannian remembered the results of the paternity test, but nodded in the end. Mrs. Hu still had to cook something, and suddenly remembered that she probably hadn't eaten yet, so she asked her to make her her favorite sauce and meat noodles.

Ren Niannian didn't want to let her be so troublesome, and hurriedly said that she had already eaten. But the old lady ignored her, saying that what little stuff would fill her stomach. Let her sit and she will be ready in a moment.

Ren Niannian was going to help, but she didn't let her, so she only let her sit down and rest in the living room.

The old lady was soon busy in the kitchen, and Lao Hu and Lao Fan outside were excited that Ren Niannian could come here, so they had time to ask her: "Niannian, where have you been these days? ”

Ren Niannian picked something good and told him all about the past few days. She was worried about Ren Tianxing's side, hesitated slightly, and asked, "Uncle Hu, have you seen my father recently?"

Lao Hu shook his head and said, "Since he married that woman, he hasn't come over again." I send something during the New Year's holidays, but there are already different people over there, and I can't even get in. Everything is transferred. ”

He was disgraced, and the old men who had followed Ren Tianxing before, since the woman entered Ren's house, they were all sent away one by one. He couldn't see Ren Tianxing, but according to his friends who used to mess together, now Ren Tianxing no longer has the people they had at that time.

He was sad for a while, slapped the coffee table in front of him heavily, and said: "The boss is really a ghost, the former brother didn't want it, and now even you, your own daughter, are being framed and excluded." How can he be worthy of his deceased lady!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old lady came out of the kitchen tremblingly with sauce and meat noodles, glared at her son, and said, "What kind of tantrum do you have, are you more sad to miss it?"

But no, the saddest person is not them, but Ren Niannian.

The old lady quickly put down the sauce and meat noodles, sat down Ren Niannian, and said, "Eat first, don't pay attention to your Uncle Hu." ”

Ren Niannian was actually still full, but he still finished eating a bowl of sauce and meat noodles.

Lao Hu's reaction was not as fast as Lao Fan's, and when Ren Niannian finished eating, Lao Fan asked, "Niannian, is there something wrong with your father?"

She's already gone out of town, and this sudden return won't be for no reason. It must be because something happened to Ren Tianxing.

Ren Niannian was weak and weak, and when he came back, he originally asked for help, and he didn't hide it, and told the news of Ren Tianxing's illness. She also said that her suspicion that the illness was not necessarily true, and that her father might be in danger.

Hearing this, the faces of the people in the house became solemn. Lao Hu Xian sighed and said, "It's an honor for your father to have your daughter." "Flying

Lao Fan was more realistic, not so emotional, and said with a deep sigh: "I'll go to the brothers in the past to inquire and see if there is any news." ”

Ren Niannian immediately stood up and said, "I'll go with you." ”

Lao Fan waved his hand and said, "No, you take a rest first." Don't show up just yet. If you show up, they will be wary and wait until I get back to inquire about the news. ”

Ren Niannian didn't rest much all night, and now there are two dark circles under his eyes. She was hesitant, and Lao Fan seemed to know what she was thinking, and said, "Don't worry, I'm just going to inquire, and there won't be any danger." You go and rest first, and we'll talk about it when I get back." ”

He didn't talk nonsense, picked up the fisherman's hat he was wearing when he went out, and hurried away.

Ren Niannian was arranged to live in the room where she lived when she was a child.

The layout has not changed, and it is clean. The joy of those days in this courtyard flooded into her mind, and her heart was even more sour for a while.

I didn't sleep all night, but Ren Niannian didn't feel sleepy at all. She closed her eyes and lay on the bed, and it took a while to suppress the memories of the past.

Her heart was so astringent that she took out her phone. When she flipped to the number of Yu Anhe that she had saved, she looked at it for a long time, and finally didn't call back. She didn't know if she could go back.

Ren Niannian put down the phone, closed his eyes, and forced himself to sleep.

She didn't sleep long, but she came back in two or three hours. I thought that Lao Fan had already returned, but he hadn't. The old lady made her delicious food in the kitchen, she didn't allow her to enter the kitchen, Ren Niannian had nothing to do for a while, and went outside to watch Uncle Hu clean the yard.

Lao Hu seemed to know what she was worried about, sighed and comforted: "Don't worry, your father will be fine." He has been catching eagles all his life, and he will not be pecked by eagles at the end of his life. ”

Although it was so comforting, he said it very unconfidently. If Ren Tianxing could be compared with when he was young, it would be impossible for him to be so fascinated by that fox spirit that he didn't even want his daughter.

Ren Niannian squeezed out a smile and nodded.

Lao Fan came back at ten o'clock in the evening, he didn't come back alone, and he also brought a few brothers who they had followed Ren Tianxing together, all of whom were familiar to Ren Niannian.

Several people were anxious, and when they saw Ren Niannian, they said: "Niannian, don't worry, if your father is really in trouble, even if he goes up the knife mountain and goes down to the sea of fire, we will rescue him." ”

Ren Niannian thanked them, and then asked Lao Fan if he had heard the news.

Lao Lao's face was solemn, and he said: "There is no news, and I have also sent people to inquire about the house, and they all say that your father is sick, and he has not appeared in front of people for a while." ”

This is not good news at all.

Ren Niannian's face was pale and did not appear in front of people, representing several possibilities. It may be that Ren Tianxing's illness is too serious, it may be that he is under house arrest, and it is more likely that he will ...... It's gone.

Her fingers trembled uncontrollably.

Lao Fan didn't notice that something was wrong with her, and then said: "A few of us have discussed, this matter should be sooner rather than later, we have to go into the courtyard to investigate." But now that the guards over there are tight, and if we don't pay attention to it, we will startle the snake, so we have to think of a comprehensive solution. ”

No matter how urgent you are, you can't fold the person in without hearing the news.

They also have the advantage, and their advantage is that they are familiar with the terrain of the house. Don't go in and smear your eyes. What needs to be discussed now is who will get in and how to get in.

Ren Niannian pursed her lips and said, "Uncles, it's the most suitable for me to go in." There's no place I'm not familiar with, and they don't suspect I'm back. ”

Yes, she was like a reservoir dog when she left, and I'm afraid no one over there would have thought she would come back.

But sneaking into the house is a dangerous thing, Ren Niannian smiled faintly, and then continued: "Even if they catch me, they don't dare to do anything to me." And so it was decided. ”

The rest of the people were silent, Lao Hu's feet were lame, and if he didn't move well, he would obviously only be beaten.

Lao Zhu, who came from behind, said: "No, it's not appropriate for you to go, I'll go." I ......"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ren Niannian, and she said, "Uncle Zhu, it is his greatest luck that my father has you. I've decided, it's up to me to go in. He's my father, and I'm going to have to do something. ”

She can't stand behind someone else all the time.

Her tone was firm, and there was no sound in the room for a moment. Knowing that she had made up her mind, no one spoke, and after a while, Lao Fan coughed and said, "Now let's discuss how to get in." ”

When he used to be by Ren Tianxing's side, he was Zhiduoxing, and he took out the map of the house that had already been drawn, and discussed how to enter quietly.

It's not easy to get into that side quietly, because the defense over there is so tight that it's almost impossible to get through the gate. They had to have a well-thought-out plan for how to get in and how to get out.

Ren Niannian entered the house in the middle of the night, and she entered through the backyard. It is impossible to walk through the door, and the wall is so high that it is almost impossible to go down quietly without borrowing any tools.

She remembered the dog hole left in the bamboo forest in the backyard and decided to go in from the inside. The hole is in the bamboo forest, and the bamboo forest has already grown densely, and no one should notice that there is such a hole and plug it.

As it turned out, her guess was correct, the hole was not blocked, but just piled up with yellow bamboo leaves. She pulled the hole out and crept in.

It was actually the best choice for her to go in, and Ren Tianxing also had a dog in the backyard. Sensing the entry of a person, the dog immediately barked.

Although there is no one in the backyard now, he doesn't dare to let the dog bark all the time, Ren Niannian made a low sound, and the dog stopped barking, wagging his tail excitedly. The little host is welcome to pull.

Ren Niannian's heart was mixed, and he reached out and patted the dog's head to signal it to squat. Just as he was about to go inside, the dog stood up at once and barked in the direction of the one in front of him.

When Ren Niannian was there, the dog was taken care of by her. She knew that someone was coming, and immediately disappeared into the shadows.

Sure enough, someone came, and it was a young and thin man, who looked around and scolded: "You dead dog, tell Lao Tzu to stew you again at night." ”

He staggered and walked away.

Someone came to check when he heard the dog barking, which can only show that the tightness in this house is stricter than Ren Niannian imagined. She pressed against the wall, not moving, her mind racing about how to get in and find which room her father was.

The backyard was quiet after the man left, and Ren Niannian stood in the dark for a long time before slowly walking out. She looked around and touched it.

Although it was the third watch in the middle of the night, no one in this house rested. When she went out, she found that there were guards in the courtyard in front of her, and several people were playing cards. There were also people standing under the eaves at the door, and they were bored and didn't know what they were talking about.

She glanced at it and then retreated, re-disappearing into the darkness. Went around the window on the other side. The windows here are against the fence, and this side is relatively safe, because it is damp and dark, so there is always a pile of debris.

Ren Niannian was lucky, the window was not locked, and she easily climbed in. Sure enough, there was no one here, and there was a musty smell.

It's guarded outside, but it's much quieter inside. The owner had fallen asleep, the lights were off, and it was very quiet.

Ren Niannian didn't waste time, and went upstairs quietly to the room where Ren Tianxing lived before.
