Chapter 128: A Thousand Cuts

Lin Tian learned the news from the mouth of the village, and he couldn't believe it, like a bolt from the blue.

Bai Ling's family will never come back to Linjia Village again?

Bai Ling said goodbye without saying goodbye?

"Village chief, I didn't understand, why didn't you come back? Where did their family go?"

"I don't know, didn't Bai Ling tell you?"

The village chief asked rhetorically.

Lin Tian shook his head lonely.

The village chief looked at Lin Tian's dejected appearance and felt a little emotional.

He knew that Lin Tian and Bai Ling had been good since they were young, and this matter was a big blow to Lin Tian.

"I don't know what's going on between you young people, I'm just a messenger.

Alas, speaking of Bai Ling, a little girl, I really feel a little pity for her. Her parents are often away from home, and the people in the village don't want to see her, she has taken care of herself since she was a child, but she is still so kind and strong.

Originally, I thought that your father would give him a promotion, and then call Bai Ling back to the village and let her do clerical work.

Although she was ordered by her parents not to take the college entrance examination, I know that her academic performance is not inferior to you, and it is entirely possible to be admitted to university.

She is smart and studious, and this kind of ordinary clerical work is difficult for her. Alas, it's too late to say that now.

Speaking of which, one thing comes to mind. The last time the village asked you to contract land, she took the initiative to find me, and asked us to count the opinions of the people in the village, and then talk to you.

Although she didn't show up, she did a lot of work in private, carefully made the form for me, and our work could continue.

Alas, Bai Ling is really a good girl, but it's a pity that I won't be able to see her in the future. ”

Bai Ling is good, Lin Tian knows better than anyone else, she always pays for him silently behind his back, and does not take the initiative to ask for credit.

Lin Tian nodded and said, "Well, Bai Ling has always been a very good girl. ”

"It's just that I never expected that Bai Ling would leave Linjia Village without saying a word!"

Lin Tian forced himself to accept this fact, Bai Ling would no longer be in Linjia Village in the future, and from now on, he would never see Bai Ling again.

Just, why?

They have been in a deep friendship for so many years, and she doesn't leave him a word?

Could it be that she heard what he said to Pei Lei last night, and it hurt her heart?

Could it be that Bai Ling likes him?

The idea took root in an instant, and Hayashida came to a conclusion.

Thinking of this possibility, Lin Tian's heart was half cold.

If Bai Ling really liked him, some of the strange actions she made last night would make sense.

Lin Tian gave Pei Lei the roses they planted together, and he didn't ask her opinion, which must have made her sad.

When Bai Ling asked Lin Tian to send Pei Lei back to the hotel, she must have felt uncomfortable in her heart.

When she sent something to the hotel room, she saw Lin Tian and Pei Lei hugging each other, looking like you and me, it was like being tortured publicly, okay!

Lin Tian, Lin Tian, you claim to be smart all your life, thinking that Bai Ling and you are just pure good friends.

However, a good friend would give so carelessly?

If a woman is so good to you, she likes it.

He has always been too self-deceiving.

He was too accustomed to Bai Ling's kindness to him.

Only when she loses it can she know her preciousness.

No, he wants to find Bai Ling!

Thinking of this, Lin Tian's heart rekindled his motivation, and he asked the village chief, "Village chief, do you have the contact information of Bai Ling's parents?"

The village chief shook his head.

"I called both of them in the morning, and they both said they were empty. The family seemed to have disappeared without a trace. Bai Ling's parents didn't say hello to me either, really. ”

"So, their family seems to have evaporated from the world?"

Lin Tian said with a sigh.

Suddenly, he remembered something and asked the village chief, "Village chief, I want to ask you a question, can you answer me truthfully?"

"Ask, I'll tell you anything. ”

Lin Tian stared into his eyes and asked, "Only the Bai Ling family in our Lin family village is an outsider, where did they come from?"

The village chief sighed and said leisurely, "This question, I knew you would ask." At the beginning, when Bai Ling's parents brought her over, Bai Ling seemed to be only four or five years old. Her parents applied to live in our village, gave the village a large sum of money, and helped the village tide over the financial difficulties.

At that time, the request made by the family was to live in Linjia Village and get a hukou and a house.

All we have to promise them is that we should never ask them where they come from. So, even I don't know where they came from. ”

"How could such a thing happen?

Lin Tian was puzzled.

He had thought that Bai Ling's family was strange before, her parents were not at home all day, and they didn't treat Bai Ling as affectionately as ordinary parents.

Now, a family of three has quietly disappeared.

The village chief patted Lin Tian on the shoulder and said to him, "Don't think too much, maybe their family of three has gone abroad, and it is inconvenient to contact us now." ”

After the village chief left, Lin Tian stayed in a daze for a long time.

He looked at the key and title deed in his hand, and the smile on his lips was very bitter.

"Bai Ling, Bai Ling, you have learned to hide my affairs, forget if you have a secret. But you don't tell me where you're going, it's too much!"

He sighed, raised his feet and walked towards Bai Ling's house.

He wanted to see if Bai Ling really had no one at home, maybe Bai Ling was joking with him and playing a game of hide and seek with him at home.

Lin Tian comforted himself and took the key to open the door of Bai Ling's house.

"Squeak..."

The gate opened, and Lin Tian was greeted by a courtyard full of flowers and a lush pineapple tree.

The flowers planted in the yard are very mixed, and most of them are Bai Ling's favorite roses.

The jackapple tree inside, Lin Tian saw it now, and he only felt full of memories.

The jackapple tree is also known as "a thousand cuts", and before bearing fruit, some fine cuts should be cut on the tree, so that the fruit will be large and good.

Because Lin Tian couldn't grow in their yard, Bai Ling knew that he liked to eat, so he told her parents that she loved to eat and planted a jackapple tree in her yard.

Every year after that, Bai Ling and Lin Tian would make an appointment to cut knife marks for the jackapple tree.

When the fruit was ripe, Bai Ling would also ask Lin Tian to come over to test whether the jackapple was ripe.

The fruit of the jackapple tree bears a large size, an average of about five catties, Lin Tian and Bai Ling took a long stick to knock the jackapple on the tree, and judged from the sound of the knock whether the fruit was the time to pick it.

They will bet against each other to see who can judge more accurately.

The jackapple of a tree can bear about fifty fruits every year, and they can play this game for a long time and enjoy it.

Thinking of the laughter and laughter of the two under the pineapple tree in previous years, Lin Tian's mood became even heavier.

He pushed open the door and stepped inside.

The house was empty, except for some furniture, and all traces of life on these furniture seemed to have been erased, and the house seemed to have been abandoned for a while.

Lin Tian smiled bitterly.

"The move was fast enough and it was cleaned up. ”

He was puzzled, he had planted flowers with Bai Ling a few days ago, and she said that she would go to the city a few days earlier to prepare for Pei Lei's café.

Could it be that in just a few days, they quietly moved?

It's impossible, although Bai Ling's house is located in a remote location, but if you move, there will inevitably be trucks coming, and there will definitely be people in the village who will see it.

Unless, their family moved out overnight while everyone was not paying attention.
