Song Yu stood for a long time before coming back to his senses, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Fu Jing'an standing aside. Then he smiled and said, "Finished calling?"

She was kind of running out of words.

Fu Jingan smiled slightly, snorted, and said: "A little trivial matter at work, the customer doesn't understand it very well, so he explained it." ”

He said it lightly, and did not want to dwell on the subject.

Song Yu also didn't ask again, and nodded.

Neither of them spoke for a while, and in the noise of pedestrians on the side of the street and the sound of cars, the figures of the two standing in the dim light were very quiet.

The wind was a little strong at night, blowing up the bangs on Song Yu's forehead. Fu Jingan turned his head to look at her and asked, "Is it cold?"

As he spoke, he was about to take off his coat and put it on Song Yu.

Song Yu had been taken care of by him and Song Mian before, and he had done a lot of this kind of thing with Song Mian before. She couldn't help but be in a trance for a moment, but quickly came back to her senses, shook her head, and said with a smile: "It's not cold." ”

For the rest of the day, the two of them didn't speak again, just stood.

Song Mian waited in line for more than 20 minutes before he came back from buying snacks, and it was a little strange to see the two of them standing like that, and asked, "What's wrong?"

He brought Song Yuye a pastry, and handed her the delicate box as he spoke.

Fu Jingan smiled and said, "No, the lights over there are quite beautiful." He withdrew his gaze and raised his wrist to look at the time.

Then it was almost ten o'clock in the delay, Song Mian also looked at the time, and said to him: "It's not early, you can go back." I'll just send Ayu back. ”

He is Song Yu's cousin, and he should have given it to him.

Fu Jingan smiled and said yes.

When Song Yu returned home, Tang Xu was still not there, and he never came back after that night. I don't know if I went on a business trip or where I went.

Without asking, she washed her hands and lay down on the bed.

The next day was Saturday, and she didn't plan to sleep in, but got up early, cleaned the house, and then went to the old house.

She hadn't been in a while, and it was not good for the house to be empty all the time, and she had to go over and clean it often.

The neighborhood is still quiet as ever, because it is spring, and the trees and flowers are a little more vibrant. Song Yu went upstairs all the way, took out the key and opened the door.

Because I hadn't been here for a while, a thin layer of ash had accumulated in the house. There seemed to be Yu Manzhu and Zhang's mother in the past, and she stood stunned for a while and began to clean up.

She cleaned it very carefully, leaving the windows of her room open to let in some air. I plan to buy some flowers and plants to raise on the balcony later, so that the home does not look so deserted.

The plan couldn't keep up with the change, and she had just finished cleaning when her phone rang. The phone was called by Peng Xi, she picked it up, and just called her senior sister, Peng Xi on the other end of the phone said: "Ah Yu, are you up? I will go to the club immediately, I have to work overtime, you should hurry over." ”

Her tone was urgent, and there was the sound of the door slamming over there.

She must have something urgent when she was in such a hurry, Song Yu responded with a good word, and went out with her bag in a haphazard manner.

Because she was in a hurry, she didn't take the bus, but took a taxi.

She is farther away from the society here, Peng Xi was already in the past, and she prepared everything that was already going to be prepared, seeing Song Yu who was still panting, she said quickly: "I received a call just now, I made an appointment with the whistleblower to meet on West Street, and we have to rush over immediately." ”

It's too late to talk now, Song Yu didn't ask her what was the matter, answered the hello, and hurried out with her.

Time was tight, and the two stopped the car when they went downstairs. When he was in the car, Song Yu was about to ask, but Peng Xi said, "You'll know when you arrive." ”

She said and looked at the driver in front of her.

She rarely was so cautious, Song Yu nodded and didn't ask again.

It is said to be on South Street, but it is actually in the slum on the top of the mountain. Taxis don't even want to go into the alley, it's so cluttered that it's hard to even turn around. Song Yu and Peng Xi had to get out of the car on the side of the road.

Both had been here, and navigating through such a maze of alleys didn't serve any purpose. The two could only ask slowly all the way.

There was no time to catch his breath all the way, and when he was about to get to the ground, Peng Xi said: "Ah Yu, this time the matter is a bit complicated, don't open your mouth later, just let me ask." ”

She rarely had such a dignified time, and Song Yu could see the difference from her previous caution. She nodded.

This should have been told to her in advance, but there was no chance all the way. At this moment, Peng Xi spoke again: "This time it happened in the school, and the niece of the whistleblower encountered XQ at school, and more than once. They went to the man, but the man had a lot of background, so he didn't pay attention to them, but told them to go up and sue him. But on the way to the complaint, they were severely beaten by a group of people, and now the girl's father is still lying in bed and unable to move, I heard that his ribs have been broken. They went to the school several more times, but the school stopped them on the grounds that they were making trouble. I haven't been able to see anyone a few times. Now girls are afraid to go to school and have taken a break from school at home. ”

Her tone was deep and depressed. After finishing speaking, he continued: "Their family is not good, what we have to do this time is to help find evidence so that the beast can be punished as it deserves. It also allows her to go back to school. But I'm only thirteen or fourteen years old, what if I don't go to school?"

Peng Xi was worried, and there was a bit of melancholy in his tone when he said it.

At the age of flowers, it should have been carefree. When she encounters this kind of thing, it is a shadow that she will never be able to shake off in her future life.

No matter who this kind of thing is, they don't want to see it happen, Song Yu's heart was heavy, and he nodded.

It didn't look far, but the two of them still walked for another twenty minutes or so to reach the girl's house. Her uncle, who contacted Peng Xi to break the news, was already waiting at the door. He was dressed shabby, and when he saw Peng Xi and Song Yu, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Is it Reporter Peng?"

His clothes were shabby, and his face was sad.

Peng Xi stepped forward, and after a brief greeting, he took the two into the small courtyard behind him. In the courtyard was a small bungalow, not very dilapidated, and all kinds of garbage were piled up under the eaves. A peculiar smell.

Entering the bungalow, the smell of medicine mixed with the smell of urine came to my face, which was disgusting.

The middle-aged man was obviously used to smelling this, and did not react at all. Peng Xi and Song Yu also followed in without changing their faces.

The room of a dozen or so bungalows was dark, and after the man entered the house, he moved two chairs of unknown color to beckon Song Yu and Peng Xi to sit down, and then approached the room on the left with blankets of unknown color, and said, "Big brother, Reporter Peng, they are here." ”

The people inside were about to struggle to get up, Peng Xi walked over first, followed into the house, and said, "You have an injury, lie down and don't move." ”

The lights were turned on in the room, and the light was weak and dim. The man lying on the bed was older, and his hair was gray. Seeing that Peng Xi was excited, he burst into tears for a while, choked up and said, "Reporter Peng, you must help us and help my Xiaohui." That brute with a thousand cuts...... It's useless to blame me. ”

He said as he pounded the bed board under him, an old face weak and desperate.

This scene made Song Yu and Peng Xi sad, Peng Xi took a few steps forward to the bed full of peculiar smells, and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely expose the true face of that beast." Can you let us meet Hui?"

The man reached out and wiped the tears from his face, and said, "It's useless to see her, that child is a little mentally abnormal now, and he won't say a word at home, so he hides in the corner." My father's heart looks like a knife......"

He babbled for a while, and then said to his brother: "Zou Chang, take two reporters to see Xiaohui and tell her that they are here to help us." ”

He was very emotional, gasping for breath, and the sentence was divided into several paragraphs before he finished speaking.

Zou Chang nodded, and took Song Yu and Peng Xi out of the small room.

Xiaohui was in the room on the right, and Zou Chang turned on the light when he entered the door. The room was about the same size as the next one, with a wooden bed. There are miscellaneous miscellaneous items, and you can only tell from the folded clothes that this is a girl's room.

I thought Xiaohui was in the house, but she didn't. A little helplessness appeared on Zou Chang's face, and he said, "This kid is out again." ”

He said that he didn't wait for Peng Xi to ask anything, then turned around and walked outside. Song Yu and Peng Xi also followed.

The girl did not run far, but hid in a small hut on the left with a pile of wood and grass. The house was only three or four square meters, and she could be seen by opening the dilapidated wooden door.

She seemed to be afraid of seeing people, and the moment she heard the muffled sound, her whole little body curled up together. The look of horror on his face was very pitiful.

Zou Chang sighed and said, "Why did you hide here again?" His tone sounded helpless, and after he finished speaking, he said to Song Yu and Peng Xi: "This kid has often hid here since the incident happened. I don't know what to do in the future. ”

His face was full of sorrow, and he said that he was going to go in and pull Xiaohui out.

Peng Xi hurriedly stopped him and said, "It's okay, just here." ”

As she spoke, she stepped forward, squatted in front of Xiaohui, and said softly, "Xiaohui, don't be afraid, we're here to help you." ”

The little girl didn't look at her, her body curled up in a small ball, trembling slightly.

Peng Xi wanted to reach out and touch her hand, but as soon as her hand touched her hand, she retracted and curled up even tighter.

It was distressing for her to be like this, and although Peng Xi comforted her softly, her panic and nervousness did not lessen at all, curling up and not looking at them.

Zou Chang, who was standing outside, was anxious and said, "Xiaohui, don't be afraid, tell these two sisters everything that the beast did." ”

Despite his urging, Xiaohui still curled up and trembled, not saying a word.

Zou Chang sighed and said, "This child was frightened to see her father being beaten like this, and she has been like this since the day his father was carried back. ”

She can't ask questions like this, and she can't ask anything today. Seeing that Zou Chang was anxious and worried that they would not come a second time, Peng Xi comforted him: "It's okay, maybe it's not familiar with us." We'll come back another day. ”

She still has to say something, but it is not appropriate to talk about it in front of Xiaohui. She walked out of the small house and went to the middle of the courtyard, and then said to Zou Chang: "Let's go back today, let's go to the school first." If Xiao Huiken speaks, please call us. ”

In the case that Xiaohui refuses to speak, this is undoubtedly the best.

Zou Chang nodded again and again and said, "Then it's troublesome for the two of you." I'll persuade Xiaohui again tonight, and I'll call you as soon as I have news. Xiaohui's child has a hard life, and her mother ran away in the early years. became a motherless child at a young age, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing again. Please help her. The great kindness of the two of you, our family will never dare to forget in this life. ”

As he spoke, he bowed to Song Yu and Peng Xi repeatedly.

Peng Xi looked sad, hurriedly supported him, and said, "Don't do this, we will definitely do our best." ”

Zou Chang was so grateful that he had to send Song Yu and Peng Xi down the mountain. But there was a sick person and a mentally stimulated child in the family, and Peng Xi refused to let him send it. and together with Song Yu, he gave him all the cash on his body, and asked him to buy some nutritious things to replenish Xiaohui's father's body.

That family is too poor, and it is completely a family with four walls. The ribs were broken, and under normal circumstances, he should have lived in the hospital, but now he can only lie at home, and he doesn't have to think about it to know that he has no money.

Bidding farewell to Zou Chang, Song Yu and Peng Xi's hearts were heavy. No one spoke for a while, and walked silently.

It wasn't until he went down the mountain and walked to the road that Peng Xi cheered up and said, "You go back first, it's the weekend today, there shouldn't be anyone at the school." I'll go over and see for myself. ”

Song Yu shook his head and said, "I'm fine, let's go over together." ”

Peng Xi didn't insist in the end and nodded.

There was no hurry to get to the school, and the two took the bus. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and neither of them had lunch. By this time, I was already hungry. After getting out of the car, Peng Xi took Song Yu to a beef brisket noodle restaurant and ordered two bowls of noodles.

Both of them have little appetite, Peng Xi plays his usual strengths, and lies that there is a cousin at home who will go to this school for the first year of junior high school after the start of school, and asks the proprietress about the school.

This shop is an old shop on this street, and at this time there are not many people and are very idle, and the proprietress is also willing to gossip and answer Peng Xi's questions.

Peng Xi asked the school quietly, and began to ask if anything had happened in the school recently and the leaders of the school.

Because students often come over for breakfast, the proprietress also heard some gossip. When Peng Xi asked, the proprietress said with a smile: "I know the classmate you mentioned, he is very popular, and his family is rich and generous, and he often treats guests." I heard that the family has a very good background, and my parents and uncles are all well-known figures in Qinghe City, so they are very popular, especially those girls. Every time I go out to eat, I am surrounded by girls. I've heard of girls fighting for him. ”

No wonder they let Zou Chang and them sue, it turns out that the backstage is really hard.

After all, I don't know it, and all I hear is some gossip. Peng Xi didn't chase after the proprietress and asked the proprietress again, and went to school after thanking the proprietress after eating.

I don't know if it's because Zou Chang and they came to make trouble or what, when they heard that Song Yu and Peng Xi were looking for Zeng Jiwen, the security guard showed a vigilant look. They wouldn't say anything, saying it was the weekend and they were looking for someone to come over on Monday.

When this kind of thing happens, for fear of affecting the reputation, the school will usually help to suppress the matter. Seeing that he couldn't ask anything from the security guard, Peng Xi didn't dwell on it and left with a smile.

I didn't hear anything useful on this trip, and when I arrived at the station, Peng Xi sighed, stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and said, "This trip is a waste of time, so I can only come back on Monday." ”

After a slight pause, she added, "I always feel that it won't go so well." ”

The other party has a backstage, even if this matter is exposed, it is likely to be quietly suppressed.

Song Yu was silent and didn't speak, and Xiaohui's trembling and thin body curled up together appeared in his mind, and his heart ached.

As soon as she was about to say something, Peng Xi took a deep breath and said, "Don't be discouraged, God is long-eyed." As long as we have evidence in our hands, the brute will not escape the punishment of the law. ”

She has always been optimistic.

Song Yu squeezed out a smile and nodded vigorously.

The two did not return to the club again, and went home separately.

With this, Song Yu's heart has always been heavy, and he doesn't even know how he got to the old house.

In the morning, she had planned to buy some easy-to-feed flowers and plants to put on the balcony, but now she had no intention of doing so, and she sat on the sofa and started to stay.

This was in a daze for a long time, and it wasn't until it was dark outside that she suddenly came back to her senses. It was already past seven o'clock, and she didn't stay long, packing up all the things in the house that she hadn't had time to pack, and then went back to the new house.

opened the door and entered the house to find that the lights at home were on, only to know that Tang Xu, who had not been back for the past few days, had returned. He wasn't in the living room, he was supposed to be in the bedroom or study.

Song Yu didn't say a word, didn't look at it, put down his bag and washed his hands to make dinner.

Tang Xu came out of the room when she started to wash the dishes, probably seeing Song Yu's tired face, he stood at the door of the kitchen after pouring a glass of water, and asked, "Where did you go?"

Song Yu didn't want to talk to him about work, shook his head, and said, "I didn't go anywhere." I went to the old house and cleaned it. ”

Tang Xu sighed and asked casually, "Is my mother-in-law okay on the mountain, when do you plan to come back?"

Song Yu didn't expect him to suddenly ask about this topic, her body stiffened slightly, and then said, "It's okay." She also plans to stay for a while longer. ”

She didn't tell him that Zhang's mother said that Yu Manzhu didn't plan to go down the mountain.

Tang Xu didn't ask any further, and nodded.

Song was afraid that he would ask something more, so he immediately changed the topic and asked, "Have you been on a business trip these days?"

She never knew Tang Xu's whereabouts, and she never asked.

The corners of Tang Xu's mouth hooked up a touch of playfulness, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Mrs. Tang, is this planning to check the post?"

His face was meaningful.

Song Yu didn't expect him to think of this, so he shook his head almost immediately and said, "I'm just asking casually." ”

Tang Xu stretched out his voice, and said with a smile: "I thought that Mrs. Tang suddenly cared about me, which simply flattered me. ”

He didn't know whether to praise or disparage, Song Yu closed his mouth and said nothing.

Tang Xu seemed to be a little bored today, and he kept standing at the door of the kitchen without moving. Looking at Song Yu, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Song Yu was extremely uncomfortable by his gaze, but in the end he still didn't say anything, and forced himself to do what he was doing.

Tang Xu stood for about ten minutes before he withdrew his gaze and asked lazily, "What have you been doing at work lately?"

I don't know why he asked her about going to work, Song Yu pursed his lips slightly, and said, "I didn't do anything, just those things." ”

She replied as if she hadn't answered. Tang Xu estimated that he just asked casually, didn't find fault, and went to the living room with the cup.

Song Yu has always been a little uncomfortable in the face of him, and now he couldn't help but quietly breathe a sigh of relief.

Dinner was very simple, one meat and one vegetarian stir-fried vegetables plus a small cabbage and tofu soup.

After eating, Tang Xu suddenly said: "The Qingming Festival is coming, and I have to go to the ancestral house that day." Everybody will go. In the morning, I will ask Xiao Yun to send you to visit your father-in-law's grave. ”

A big family like the Tang family has always been particular about these things. It's just that Song Yu didn't expect that he would arrange the time for her to sweep the tomb first.

She hadn't thought of the Qingming Festival before, but now she nodded and said yes.

For the rest of the day, neither of them spoke. However, after Tang Xu took a bath, he went directly to the bed in the guest room and lay down.

He came here to lie down, Song Yu knew what it meant, and he rubbed so much that he couldn't rub anymore before he went to bed.

The Qingming Festival came quickly, and there was no progress on Xiaohui's side, and the Qingming Festival arrived.

Tang Xu didn't know where he was going in the morning, and went out before Song Yu.

When Song Yu finished cleaning up and went downstairs, Xiao Yun was already waiting, and seeing that she was still neither humble nor arrogant, she was respectful, and called the Empress Dowager to open the car door for her.

Song Yu said thank you to him, and after getting into the car, he kept looking out the window.

She didn't speak, Xiao Yun naturally didn't speak, and when she parked the car at the cemetery, Xiao Yun said: "I'll be waiting for you at the foot of this mountain, if you have anything, call me." After a slight pause, he continued: "It's just that you may have to hurry, Tang always has something, we have to meet him before ten o'clock, and we can go to the old mansion before we can go to the ancestral house." ”
