The next messages were all sent by Xu Zichong, asking her what was wrong, asking her what she meant, where, and various voice and video calls were initiated, but they all failed, intermittently, and to this day, he is still sending messages to Zhang Wenshu, but after Zhang Wenshu spontaneously finished that one, he never replied to him.

"I messaged her, called her, but it didn't work, the message didn't go back, the phone was turned off. ”

I whispered to Su Er, "What does this farewell mean?"

She put her ear to me and said, "Goodbye." "At the end, I added a sentence," is a very written expression, and it also means goodbye. ”

From the beginning to the end, we have always held two views on the disappearance of Zhang Wenshu, the more likely is that he ran away from home on his own initiative, and the less likely is what happened to him. But from beginning to end, we didn't think of another possibility, that is, whether Zhang Wenshu would not be able to think about it and go to a dead end.

It's not impossible, today's children are very sensitive, unlike the leather monkeys we had at that time, which was called a life-sparing, even if it was a sting, they would never be willing to find a short-term view. But nowadays, children are looking for short-term news abounds, such as cutting their wrists, taking sleeping pills, and taking effervescent tablets. There are those who jump directly from the window in the classroom, and there are those who get out of the car and jump directly from the viaduct.

I pondered for a moment, "Then what do you think of her current state of mind... Is it possible..."

He shook his head, "I used to think it was impossible because we had an agreement, but since she sent me this message, I have started to lose my bottom because she has stopped paying attention to me, that is, she no longer keeps our agreement." ”

We were all silent, he took out a crumpled packet of soft red plums from his pocket, scratched a few times and grabbed a cigarette, lit it himself, only to choke on it after just two puffs, coughing non-stop. From his methods, I can see that this kid has never smoked before, not only does he not have the proficiency of an old smoking gun, but he also does not have the Jianghu atmosphere of a smoker.

He coughed for a while, and I heard a rumbling sound in his stomach again, "You haven't eaten dinner yet?" ”

He smiled reluctantly, "No, I don't have much appetite, have you eaten it?" ”

After that, he took out a transparent plastic bag from his bag, which contained a few steamed buns, which were hard and hard, and there were also half-eaten ones, which was estimated to be his usual rations. I couldn't bear it, "You can't do this, you have to eat the rice, or Su Er, you go to the side to see if there is a convenience store, buy some cooked food and drinks, you can't just eat steamed buns." ”

Su Er nodded, and took Kang Kang with him. I watched them walk away, so I took out a cigarette, shook out a cigarette, and asked him, "Why did you smoke a cigarette?"

"Worried, anxious, panicked, try to smoke, it seems to be a little soothing. ”

"Does it work?"

"Sometimes there is, sometimes ... It doesn't seem to be. ”

I saw that his bag was ajar, and there were stacks of things inside, and I took it out and saw that it was a stack of photos, all of which were Zhang Wenshu, all dressed in various ways, with front and side, headshots, half-length photos, and full-body photos. The photo has been pinched out with a few wrinkles and finger prints.

He looked at it and said: "I haven't been to Ben Cheng either, I can only ask everywhere during the day, from the station to the shopping mall, and then to the scenic spots, the seaside..."

I also had some strange emotions in my heart, I can't tell what it is, I am moved. He took a hard puff of his cigarette and helped him put the photo away, "How many days have you been here?"

"It's been three or four days, and after I can't contact her, I went to her house to look for her, her parents are at home, and they have called the police, I didn't dare to say that I am her boyfriend, her parents are very taboo about this. I searched for two days in Liucheng, going to places we had been to before, but we didn't see her, so I thought that maybe she had come to Bencheng, and I told her parents about that. ”

"Later, I thought that since they called the police, it would be pointless for me to look for it in Liucheng, so I resigned and came to Bincheng to look for her, I thought she was here, but no matter how I looked for it, I couldn't find it..."

At this point, he wiped his glasses with the back of his hand, and then suddenly he broke down and sobbed in a low voice, which was a cries that were so hard to suppress that it made people feel uncomfortable. I pulled out a handkerchief and stuffed it into his hand, and patted him on the shoulder, "It's okay, look for it again, look for it again, maybe she is just feeling aggrieved, maybe she will stay in Bencheng at this time." ”

He sniffed hard and restrained himself from crying, but I saw that his shoulders were still twitching, and I sighed inwardly. After a while, he raised his head, wiped his face with a handkerchief, and comforted himself: "Yes, I still have to find it." ”

But he said it with a nasal voice, how reluctant to listen to it. At this time, Su Er came back with something, I pushed the two people's bags aside, and picked up a vacuum bag of chicken legs for him, "Come, eat, eat first, and only after eating will you have the strength to find it, don't worry, I will accompany you to find it." ”

Su Er also tied a bottle of soy milk and handed it to him, "Eat it, let's look for it together, you can always find it." ”

The four of them stayed at the stone table in the park and ate a dinner that was most unlike dinner. It can be seen that Xu Zichong is really hungry, if he is dragged to a restaurant to eat, he will definitely be in no mood and no appetite, but in order to fill his stomach, he is still loyal to his instincts.

After eating something, I saw that he had regained some energy, took out a cigarette and handed it to him, and he waved his hand to signal that he did not need to. I asked him myself, "How can you be sure that she must be in Ben Cheng?"

"If she is not in Liucheng, she must be in Bincheng. Her favorite thing is the sea, she once told me that the sea is an excellent symphony orchestra in nature, which will play all kinds of beautiful music, and it is actually her long-cherished wish to come to Bincheng to see the sea. I thought that this summer vacation would finally be realized, but it turned out to be stranded, so I think if she leaves home, she must have come to Bencheng. ”

"Okay, let's look for it in Bincheng, I'll see if I can find the police station here tomorrow, and I'll help find it together." ”

Su Er handed him another bottle of water, "Zichong, you and Wen Shu are in a relationship, and the contact between you must be the most frequent, you sort it out, let's see if we can find any clues." ”

Xu Zichong nodded, "Where to start?"

"Let's start with the college entrance examination and pick out the key points. ”

In fact, she was already very unhappy before the college entrance examination, this matter lasted for a long time, she likes music, and she actually plays the piano very well, so she planned to apply for art colleges before. However, her parents did not agree and insisted that she apply for the School of Finance, and her mood has been very low since then. I told her, it's okay, I will be admitted to university first, my interest is a lifetime, and no one has stipulated that I must engage in the scope of my major after work, and if I have the opportunity at that time, I can still rely on music. ”

She accepted it, after all, her parents cut off the way to the art exam, so there was no other way but to compromise. In this way, we took the college entrance examination, and after the exam, she told me that she did not perform well. Later, when the scores came out, they were really much worse than the usual mock exams. She was very sad, and I comforted her, saying that it doesn't matter if we go to school or anything, we can go to school in the same city, and then we will work in the same city, and I will be responsible for earning money to support my family. ”

"She was finally happy because I had already chosen a school, and she started to choose a school in the same city as me. As a result, her parents disagreed, saying that this time her performance was seriously abnormal, and if she retook the exam again, she would definitely be admitted to a better school, so they wanted her to repeat it. She had been arguing with her parents for a long time, but I knew that she not only wanted to go to the same place with me to study, but also wanted to leave her parents. ”

"It's been delayed like this, I see that her parents are really insisting, and they don't want them to have a bigger conflict because of this, so I told her that it would be better to repeat the study for another year, and concentrate on preparing for the exam in this year, and then it would be better to be my schoolgirl. I'll get acquainted with everything over there, and when she comes, I'll take her to learn and play at the same time. In the end, she accepted, so she didn't fill in the university application and stayed at home to revise again. ”

"After I received my university acceptance letter, I got a job at KFC, because my family is not very wealthy, and I want to take advantage of the summer vacation to save more living expenses for myself. Since she was basically confined to study at home, there were few opportunities to see each other, so she also supported me to go to work. One day she told me that she wanted to go to Ben Cheng to play, and her favorite singer Xie Yuji was going to hold a concert in Ben Cheng. ”

"I always knew that I wanted to come to Bencheng to see the sea, but at that time, her parents did not agree with her to go out, so this plan was never put on the itinerary. That time, I said that there was just a concert, so I wanted to get all my wishes. I said okay, then come, I will accompany her, after all, after the start of school, I will go to study far away, and there will be fewer opportunities to meet in the future, of course I want to spend more time with her. ”

But this time the plan was stopped by her parents, listing many reasons, focusing on her studies and leaving no one to accompany her, in the final analysis, they just didn't want her to go out. All I know is that they quarrel again, yes, they quarrel almost every day. But this time, it was Wen Shu who took the initiative to compromise and said that she would not go to Bincheng, and it also made me feel at ease to work, and the plan was canceled. ”

"I think it was her parents who promised her something that made her abandon the trip. Because in the next few days, she seemed to be in a good mood, and even came to my shop to eat and play with me. When I saw that she was in a better mood, I stopped mentioning it, thinking that I would definitely take her to the shore if I had a chance in the future. ”

"Then about a week ago, we had a meal together and went for a walk outside, and she asked me when school was going to start, and said that she would have to go to cram school in a short time. I said that I would help her revise and teach her remotely at school while I hadn't forgotten it. She also smiled and said that she would be more confident to be my younger sister. She was in a really good mood at the time, but I didn't know that it was the last time I saw her..."

Speaking of this, Xu Zichong may have remembered the situation of the day, and was silent for a while before continuing: "She was reviewing after she went home, and she would ask me if she didn't understand something, and then on the 8th, she suddenly made a voice call to me and broke down and cried for a long time." She said her parents had sold her piano. ”

"She was crying for an hour, for an hour, and I hid in the back kitchen warehouse and listened to her cry. ”

Speaking of this, he himself suddenly collapsed, covered his mouth with his hand and sobbed: "I should have comforted her at the time, but I didn't know how to comfort her, I knew what that piano meant to her, I felt that everything I said at that time was futile, all I could do was to listen to her on the other end of the phone to vent her emotions, if I could comfort her well, maybe she wouldn't be so sad." ”

I reached out and patted him lightly on the shoulder, "In that case, it's really useless to say anything, it's good to be with you." ”

Xu Zichong adjusted his mood, "She hung up the phone after crying, I didn't feel at ease, I sent a message to comfort her, and asked her to have dinner together in the evening, I think if she faces each other, she may not be so helpless." She agreed at first, but in the evening she changed her mind, saying that she was tired and didn't want to go out. I chatted with her for a while, and she went to bed early. ”

"Actually, she didn't sleep, I know, because she posted a lot of statuses. The next day I was on the day shift, and after a long night, her mood seemed to be much better. I asked her to meet her again in the evening, but she didn't say yes directly. When I asked her again in the evening, she said that her parents would video with her at night, and it was inconvenient to go out, so I didn't see it again. ”

"On the third day, I was on the night shift, and I had to work from the afternoon to midnight, so I didn't ask her again, and she didn't talk very much that day. But that day I felt that she was very out of state, often I sent messages for more than an hour without replying, and when I sent another one, she suddenly replied, and the content was very small, and she didn't want to speak. ”

"I was busy until midnight, I said goodnight to her, but I didn't receive a reply, I was too sleepy to go home and go to sleep. When I woke up on the 11th, I found that she had left me a lot of words, a little incoherent, but very negative. ”

There is no mistake
