Chapter 100
Want to know his reason.
Wen Ru has said that while being a quiet listener, she occasionally wants to be a dream interpreter.
Song Jun didn't make an appointment recently, so Wen Ru decided to close the door for a few days and go to explore Xiao Hua's past.
Pian Pian wanted to follow, but she was worried that Wish would not adapt to her new home, so she stayed. And the cow cat was named Wish, named Hope.
Pian Pian always felt that she was too disappointed to choose to give up, so if she had a glimmer of hope, she would work harder.
The painting was also hung up in a pian way, alongside Wen Ru's painting.
Wen Ru dressed casually, carrying a bag, a mobile phone and a voice recorder.
Then drive to the neighborhood where I visited yesterday.
More than half an hour's drive, stop the car.
Since it's the weekend, it's a lot more lively today than yesterday.
The first thing Wen Ru saw was the children playing under the trees.
"Big sister, are you Xiao Hua's brother's friend?" A little boy with a watermelon head walked over, tilted his head, and asked Wen Ru a little shy and curious.
Wen Ru bent down and smiled at him, "Maybe it's a friend." ”
"Why maybe?" the little boy didn't understand, a friend is a friend, and his eyes were as clear as a clear spring.
"Because, it would have been possible to become friends. Wen Ru curled her lips and said softly.
"Is that sister here looking for Brother Xiao Hua? He is not at home," said the little boy, "Mother said that Brother Xiao Hua went to heaven. ”
"Stupid, it's dead. The little girl next to her retorted when she heard his words.
"What is death?" the little boy asked her, tilting his head sideways.
"You can't laugh, you can't cry, you can't eat. The little girl thought and answered him with her fingers crossed.
"It's sad. Obviously, Brother Xiao Hua is so good. The little boy pursed his mouth, and the little girl looked in agreement.
Wen Ru listened quietly to the child's innocent conversation.
"Do you like Brother Xiao Hua?" Wen Ru asked them.
"Well, Brother Xiao Hua is very gentle, he will smile at us, he will invite us to eat candy, and he will take care of Huahua. The little boy smiled sweetly, then folded his hands and counted.
"Flowey is gone. The little girl interrupted him, "I haven't seen Flowey today." ”
"What is Flowey?" asked Wen Ru.
"Such a small cat. The little boy opened his hand and gestured, "Black and white cat." ”
That's wish.
"Anan, Xiaoyu," a woman walked over, frowning and glancing at Wen Ru with a slight wariness, "Hello, who are you?"
"It's Xiao Hua's brother's friend!" the little boy hurriedly said.
Wen Ru nodded, noticed her gaze at the recorder, held it in her hand, and introduced herself, "Hello, my name is Wen Ru, I am Xiao Hua's friend, and I came here to find his past." ”
Finally, he spread out the voice recorder in his hand and "recorded some of his voices." ”
The woman didn't take the recorder, her brow still furrowed, "Looking for the past?"
Wen Ru nodded and withdrew the recorder, then handed her the business card he had with him.
"Psychiatrist?" the woman took the business card, looked at Wen Ru, and nodded, "Hello." I'm his neighbor, Ho Yi. ”
"Xiao Hua has worked with you for a while before, right?" this is the information Wen Ru got from the police.
"Well," the woman nodded, "at the convenience store at the intersection, Xiao Hua used to work part-time at night. ”
Wen Ru nodded, "Would you mind commenting on what you think of him?"
"Yes. After thinking about it for a while, He Yi agreed.
"A silent but serious man. He Yi replied, "Punctual and rigorous, the shelves are neatly arranged, gentle and polite, and very alienated." ”
"Alienation?"
"Yes, he doesn't socialize much, except for children. He Yi looked at the children laughing on the side, "The children in the community like him very much." ”
"Did you think he would kill himself?" Wen Ru asked.
After a pause, He Yi shook his head, "There is no warning." ”
"Excuse me. Wen Ru said goodbye to her.
The third person who asked was the original owner of the cat.
"Xiao Hua, he's a weirdo. The chubby woman was washing her clothes, splashing water down the drain and wiping her hand on her apron, "I stay in the house all day except for work, and I don't have any friends." ”
"Did you know he had no friends?" asked Wen Ru curiously,
She glanced at Wen Ru, twisted her clothes, and replied, "When you are young, do you have friends who don't go out to play, and will stay at home as a whole?"
"But you're really his friends, and I haven't seen you have any regular contacts?"
"Huh", the fat woman shook off her clothes and unfolded them to hang on the hanger.
"I haven't had much contact lately. Wen Ru shook her head.
"How is Erhua?" asked the fat woman again before Wen Ru left.
Wen Ru noticed her awkwardness and replied softly, "Well, very well-behaved." ”
Hearing this, the fat woman breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Oh, that lazy cat has always been quite well-behaved except that it doesn't catch mice." At the end, the fat woman said, "Erhua likes Xiao Hua very much, I used to chase it, it didn't know where it went, and then I learned that Xiao Hua was feeding it, and after Xiao Hua left, it still drilled into the house every day." ”
The last one was an old man who lived alone.
"Xiao Hua is a good boy. The old man's dry hand like orange peel gently patted Wen Ru, "He often comes to talk to me, Xiao Hua came to repair the broken things in my house, and he also brought the two cartons of milk." ”
The old man pointed to the milk crate in the corner, "My child is out of town, and he only comes back once during the New Year's holidays, Xiao Hua is a good boy, but he can't think about it." The old man muttered, his eyes moist, and he couldn't help but pat the back of Wen Ru's hand again, "You young people, you have to think more, nothing is unpassable, time flies quickly, decades have passed in a flash, you have to be fine." ”
The old man's cloudy eyes were full of vicissitudes and wisdom, and her words were kind and gentle, with pity and emotion.
Wen Ru looked at the milk crate in the corner, and nodded slowly under the old man's gentle instructions.
The children under the trees were still playing, laughing and laughing, and the sunlight was falling through the gaps in the trees, mottled on the children's faces.
Wen Ru returned to the car, leaning on the steering wheel to read the memo.
The strange man in the eyes of the neighbors, the serious and silent in He Yiying, the good brother in the eyes of the children, and the good children in the mouths of the old people......
Yes, his death was without warning, no matter what you look at.
"Not on a whim, but a hibernation. ”
What is his dormancy?
Wen Ru put down her phone, turned around and drove out, and the child who heard the horn said goodbye to Wen Ru with a smile.
Wen Ru also smiled and beckoned, her eyes paused in another part of the attic shaded by the big tree, it was a child the size of a child under the tree, sitting quietly at the desk, with a dull expression.
The car slowly turned, and Wen Ru's next stop was Xiao Hua's company.
Wen Ru parked in a nearby paid parking garage and walked to the nearest bus stop.
Xiao Hua's residence is a bus and a subway transfer to his place of work, a total of one and a half hours by car.
There were still a lot of vacant seats when Wenru got on the bus, probably on weekends, and there were not many people.
But it's not hard to imagine the congestion in the morning and evening rush hours.
Most of the people in the car lowered their heads and played with their mobile phones, Wen Ru looked sideways out the window, and most of the pedestrians who occasionally glimpsed in the traffic did the same.
Even in the same city, Wenru has rarely been here, the traffic is busy, the buildings and streets, the scenery along the way is no different from other places, and the occasional green trees and red flowers seem particularly fresh.
After five stops, Wenru got off the train and walked along the underground passage to the subway platform.
There are many more people here than at the bus stop, and Wen Ru has no place when she goes up, so Wen Ru leans on the carriage and looks at the scenery outside the window.
These have also entered Xiao Hua's eyes.
Wen Ru's thoughts were very confused, sometimes she was thinking about Xiao Hua's dormant sentence, sometimes she was thinking about Xiao Hua in those mouths, and Xiao Hua she met when they first met.
