Chapter 163: Strange Shanty Town
Xiao Feng, a shantytown in the east of the city, knows that it is far away from the city center, and it is a place where some small merchants and hawkers and other low-income people gather to live, and he has been here once or twice before.
The reason for coming was not because I thought it was anything else, but because I was a girl in the same class as him when I was in college.
The girl's name is Xia Zhu, her family lives in a shantytown in the east of the city, she looks quiet and quiet, wears a pair of black-framed glasses, is usually more introverted, and was assigned to a group with Xiao Feng by her mentor when she was doing research.
Her parents didn't get along, her mother ran away from home when she was very young, and her parents were left with a father who liked to drink and gamble, so Xia Zhu was very reluctant to talk about her family situation, and every time everyone talked about this topic, she would find an excuse to leave.
So naturally she doesn't have much intersection with her classmates, which is somewhat the same as Xiao Feng, but she is because of low self-esteem, and Xiao Feng is because she feels unnecessary.
The situation in Xia Zhu's family was naturally not heard by Xiao Feng from elsewhere, but what he saw with his own eyes when he came to the shantytown to deliver materials to Xia Zhu, her alcoholic father sold everything that could be sold at home, and his life was completely subsidized by the money earned by Xia Zhu's work-study program.
That day, Xia Zhu also talked a lot with Xiao Feng, about the family, about the future, until it was very late when Xia Zhu's father was coming back, so Xiao Feng left in a hurry.
Since then, Xia Zhu and Xiao Feng have a good relationship, and they didn't break off contact until they graduated from college.
I don't know if I can see her today, I hope she is safe, Xiao Feng thinks now, but it is only for the sake of the relationship between classmates.
When we arrived at the shantytown in the east of the city, it was already past six o'clock in the evening, and it was already dark.
The road here is a bit narrow, and it is difficult for Xiao Feng's big G to turn around when he drives in, so Xiao Feng stopped the car at the entrance.
From a distance, the shantytowns are all some low-rise old-fashioned houses and tin houses mixed in them, the environment can only be described as poor, the strange thing is that the whole shantytown is obviously almost night, but there is no light in every house, it seems a little quiet and weird.
Xiao Feng was also a master of the arts, and walked in without the slightest hesitation.
The roads here are full of potholes, and a lot of waste water from production and life has overflowed onto the road surface that has fallen into disrepair, and if it is summer, there must be all kinds of mosquitoes and flies here.
After walking for a distance, Xiao Feng found that there was still not much change here, although Tianhe City was known as the famous civilized urban area of Juxia Province, but there were always places where the sun could not shine, and it was full of gloom.
Like here, although several people have died, no one cares.
Finding that the door of a house was not closed tightly, and a few faint lights came out of the cracks in the wooden door, Xiao Feng stepped forward and wanted to ask.
But the family seemed to notice someone coming outside the door.
"Smack!"
The wooden door was directly slammed shut, but Xiao Feng could still see the frightened look on the face of the woman who closed the door.
Xiao Feng's underwear continued to entangle, he knew that it was pointless to continue to ask, but he was thinking in his heart: What are these people afraid of?
After thinking about it, he couldn't think of an answer, this place was not far from Xia Zhu's home, so he thought it would be better to go to the house of someone he knew and ask.
After walking for about ten minutes, there was no one on the way, and Xiao Feng also arrived outside Xia Zhu's house.
Xia Zhu's home was surrounded by a somewhat dilapidated wall, on which chili peppers and many dried vegetables were dried, but the door of the yard was not closed, Xiao Feng heard the voices of two women inside, so he pushed the door directly in.
In the yard.
Xia Zhu, who was wearing a professional suit, was talking to her neighbor's child, Xu Shanshan, who looked at the house with an anxious face, while Xu Shanshan was on the phone.
"Bang Bang"
A loud knock on the door came out of the locked door of the back room, and the loud crash sounded like it hit Xia Zhu's heart.
And Xiao Feng's sudden appearance startled the two girls, and they screamed directly.
"Hey, who are you, you're going to scare people to death!"
Xu Shanshan clutched her chest and shouted, her brows wrinkled together.
After Xia Zhu reacted, he obviously recognized Xiao Feng, and quickly pulled the corner of Xu Shanshan's clothes, then shook his head and said, "Shanshan, don't, he is my college classmate." ”
"Oh, college student, okay", Xu Shanshan glanced at Xiao Feng up and down, a little yin and yang.
"You...... Why are you here?"
Xia Zhu said to Xiao Feng with a slight apology in his eyes, but he was more surprised.
Since the graduation party parted, she has never seen Xiao Feng again, and she has not had any intersection.
"Ah, I didn't come here for anything else, mainly to investigate what's going on here. ”
Xiao Feng is still a little casual and lazy like he was in college.
This statement frightened Xia Zhu and Xu Shanshan, and they couldn't believe it.
"What? Just a thin little man like you, I'm not afraid of people with madness tearing you apart. ”
Before Xia Zhu could speak, Xu Shanshan sneered, with contempt at the corners of her mouth.
"Shanshan, don't say a word!"
Xia Zhu was also a little anxious, she had a good relationship with Xiao Feng, she was a classmate, she didn't want to mess up the relationship.
After stopping Xu Shanshan, she stepped forward and pulled Xiao Feng outside the courtyard.
"I'm sorry Xiao Feng, Shanshan didn't mean that, she has lived in a broken family since she was a child, like me, and her inferiority complex has evolved into the character she is now, don't blame her, I apologize to you on her behalf. ”
Xia Zhu looked at Xiao Feng and said sincerely, full of apologies between the lines.
But Xiao Feng smiled, this woman was still as delicate as she was in college.
"I don't know yet, I don't care about those at all, you can rest assured. Xiao Feng said indifferently, there are many such things in this world, if you take care of everything, it will be troublesome to die.
Xia Zhu smiled at this time, Xiao Feng is still the same Xiao Feng, and he has not changed.
Xiao Feng looked at Xia Zhu carefully, this woman's inferiority complex and introverted atmosphere in college was a little less, and she put on a professional suit for work, and the black stockings she wore under her short skirt were a little tempting.
Xia Zhu saw Xiao Feng looking at her like this, especially when his eyes stayed on her legs, which made her a little embarrassed.
"You...... Are you really here to investigate?"
In order to avoid further embarrassment, Xia Zhu hurriedly changed the topic.
Xiao Feng also realized that he was a little out of shape, and hurriedly came back to his senses, "Ahem, indeed, I was entrusted to investigate." ”
"You go quickly, it's really dangerous here, especially at night, otherwise something will really happen!"
Xia Zhu's face was a little anxious, Xiao Feng could see that she was sincere, but it was definitely impossible to leave when she left, there was nothing in this world that could scare a martial artist.
"I'm not leaving, tell me what's going on here. ”
Xiao Feng said indifferently, but his tone was firm.
