Under his gaze, Si Qi touched his nose and said with a smile: "Of course, this is just my guess, whether it is true or not, we need to ask more." ”

Shi Jing was silent for a moment, his face full of thought, as if he was thinking about her words very seriously, and after a while, he nodded lightly and said, "Your guess is very likely." ”

Si Qi pursed his lips and smiled, took the initiative to take his hand, and walked back slowly, saying as he walked: "Look, we have gained so much on the first day of sorting, and it is definitely not difficult to think of knowing the final answer, so don't worry too much, I believe it won't take too long, and it will come out." ”

Her mouth may have been opened, saying that she wouldn't wait too long, and sure enough, she didn't wait too long, as soon as the two returned to the hotel to take a shower, Xie Fang sent a WeChat message and asked them to have supper in the tavern downstairs, saying that there was a message from the head of the mother to tell them.

Si Qi directly put on his home clothes, wrapped his down jacket and dragged Shi Jing downstairs.

The tavern is indeed quite small, there are eight tables, but the decoration style is very retro, the table is the kind of old square table, a long bench is placed on each side, the chopsticks on the table are made of bamboo, the chopsticks are wenge, drinking and eating are all home-fired earthen bowls, very rough kind, the menu is written on the bamboo book, the name of the dish is seven words, like poetry.

Xie Fang and his husband chose the most corner table, and when they saw them coming down and waving to them, Si Qi dragged Shi Jing and ran over, looked around, and couldn't help sighing: "This place is too distinctive." ”

"The tavern has been open for decades, and my mother used to come here to buy alcohol secretly when she was a child. As a native of the local, Xie Fang is responsible for ordering food and wine, "I used to come here to play when I was a child, the boss at that time was the grandfather of the current boss, a very kind person, when he made wine, he brewed some low-alcohol wine, and drank it like a drink, and then he began to make fruit wine, which was basically given to our group of children to drink." ”

Si Qi stared at the waiter bringing a jar of swarthy fruit wine, and just sealed a tempting aroma of wine at the end of her nose, the rich aroma of wine made her swallow saliva subconsciously, the waiter poured a big bowl for each of them, she carefully held the wine bowl and took a sip, the entrance was sweet and not nose, and there was a faint fruity fragrance between her lips and teeth.

"Delicious, right?" Xie Fang also took a big sip: "In the entire town, only this one can make this kind of fruit wine." ”

"It's not just delicious, it's just delicious. Seeing that Shi Jing didn't move, Si Qi hurriedly bumped his arm, and scurried with a smile: "You taste it, it's really delicious." ”

Shi Jing also picked up the bowl and took a sip, and after a while, he pursed the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "It's really special." ”

Si Qi touched the wine bowl with Xie Fang and her husband, and said, "It's much better than those red wines abroad, and we will bring a few jars back to our parents when we go home." ”

When Xie Fang heard this, he asked, "How many days do you plan to play here?"

Si Qi said: "Actually, we came this time, mainly to see Xie Yun, she jumped off the building inexplicably, so my family has always remembered, so this time we came over, I wanted to ask by the way to see if we could find the answer, she was only seventeen years old at the time, and she died so inexplicably, in fact, it is quite a pity." ”

Xie Fang glanced at Shi Jing, and his face suddenly darkened, "Then you don't have to inquire at all, I asked my mother and my grandmother when I got home, it was Xie Yun's stepmother who claimed that Xie Yun was deceived and bullied at school, and the people in the clan went to seek justice for her, and then her third sister died of illness, and then her eldest sister's six-year-old son fell off the cliff and died. ”

Si Qi was very surprised, "This is too miserable, isn't it?"

"Who says it's not. Xie Fang also said with some emotion: "Later, her eldest sister couldn't stay in her mother-in-law's house, so she has been wandering in our town, she once ran to other families to ask for food, and suddenly said that Xie Yun jumped off the building because her stepmother wanted to marry Xie Yun to the disabled man, saying that it was to marry, in fact, it was almost like selling, because her stepmother asked for 60,000 dowry, and the disabled person was passed down for several generations, so she wanted to marry a literate girl as a wife, and she fell in love with Xie Yun." ”

Really.

Si Qi and Shi Jing glanced at each other, and then turned their eyes back, listening intently.

Xie Fang said: "Xie Yun has read books, is educated, and has seen the outside world, not as easy to manipulate as her sisters, so she disagrees with this marriage, and after two days of trouble at home, her stepmother got angry, saying that if she didn't marry, she would sell her second sister and third sister, her second sister and third sister were very scared, so they knelt on the ground and begged her desperately, begging her to save them, I don't know if she agreed in the end, anyway, she should jump off the building when she goes back to school." ”

"Their family is disgusting. Si Qi's anger was outlied: "Even if her stepmother doesn't treat her stepdaughter as a human being, then how can her father bear to push her daughter into the fire pit, she is still so young and so good, for 60,000 yuan, she has to marry her to a middle-aged disabled man, whether these people have a heart or not, don't you care about your clan?"

Xie Fang said: "At that time, everyone didn't know about this, probably her stepmother threatened her and didn't let her say it, otherwise how could the patriarch allow it, and there was an uncle who has always cared for Xie Yun." After a pause, she said again: "Besides, no matter how good her academic performance is, after all, she is only a seventeen-year-old girl, she doesn't understand the sinister heart at all, and her stepmother is really disgusting." ”

"I forced my daughter to death, but I poured dirty water on an innocent male student, and even mobilized all my relatives and friends to make trouble without a bottom line, not hesitating to ruin the reputation of my own daughter, did they ever think that the boy was only seventeen years old, and he was splashed with such dirty water, how would he live in this life, and how should he take the road of life in the future. Si Qi probably drank wine, shocked and angry, his face was flushed, and his eyes seemed to be on fire.

"It's really miserable. Xie Fang let out a long sigh, "My mother talked about this, and said that their family lost their conscience, and my mother didn't go when she went to the county seat to make trouble, but when Xie Yun was buried, their family forced the male student to kneel down for Xie Yun to give the funeral, my mother was on the spot, saying that the boy was scared like a puppet, let him snort his head, let him burn the paper, his face was like a dead man, it was really pitiful." ”

Si Qi's breath stagnated, and there was a sharp pain in her chest, as if the wound was torn again, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Shi Jing, her eyes suddenly froze, she had never seen this kind of expression on his face, no, in fact, there was no expression, there was a dead breath in the wood, as if she had been buried alive in the soil in an instant, her pale face was bruised, her eyes gradually froze, and the whole person was like being nailed to the ground alive.

She subconsciously reached out and gently grasped the back of his stiff hand.

Shi Jing's expression was too weird, Xie Fang and her husband soon noticed the abnormality, and they all stared at him, shocked and curious.

Si Qi smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, my husband may be a little..."

"I was the male student back then. Shi Jing opened his mouth indifferently, shattering the hearts of the three people.

Si Qi: "......"

Xie Fang: "......"

Xie Fang's husband: "......"

I don't know how long it took, but Xie Fang came back to his senses first, stared at him with his mouth wide open, and the hand holding the wine bowl trembled: "You say... You say you're... That boy back then..."

Shi Jing looked at her indifferently and nodded, and said expressionlessly: "I just came back to find an answer, I want to know why, now I know, thank you very much." ”

"......" Xie Fang was shocked at first, and then immediately said after a pause, "Uh... You're welcome... No thanks... I didn't expect that..."

She was so shocked that she barely knew what to say.

In the end, her husband patted her on the shoulder, raised the wine bowl, and said to Shijing: "I don't know what to say, I admire you for being strong and alive until now, and you can still find such a good wife, and you can come back calmly and indifferently to pursue this answer, I congratulate you." ”

Si Qi sat next to her, suddenly inexplicably nervous, she really didn't expect Shi Jing to suddenly poke out her identity, but after being surprised, a huge ecstasy rose in her heart, Shi Jing dared to take the initiative to admit it in front of strangers, which also means that he can really face those unbearable, dark, painful and depressed pasts calmly.

Shi Jing was silent for only half a minute, then picked up the wine bowl and touched it lightly with Xie Fang's husband, "Thank you." ”

The two big men directly emptied the wine bowl.

"No wonder you came to see Xie Yun. Xie Fang also began to come back to his senses, but he still stared at Shi Jing incredulously, "I really didn't expect that the person who was so badly killed back then would come back." ”

Si Qi coughed lightly twice, and said with some guilt: "I'm sorry, I didn't tell you the truth at first, but too many people went to school to make trouble back then, and I was afraid that showing my identity would cause disgust among your locals." ”

"Hey, what's this?" Xie Fang said very boldly: "If it were me, I wouldn't say it, if it weren't for their family, they didn't treat their daughters as human beings, and the whole town hated them, if you came rashly to ask, you would really be beaten." ”

Si Qi was very grateful to pour wine for her husband, poured another glass for Shi Jing, and Shi Jing both picked up the wine bowls at them, and said with a smile: "I have to thank you, thank you for letting us know the truth of the year, my husband can finally rest assured in the second half of his life." ”

My husband's three words flowed out of her mouth so naturally, without the slightest hesitation, without the slightest embarrassment, Shi Jing's eyes suddenly lit up, he turned his head sideways to stare at her, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously made a little smile, and the face that was so white that it was cold was like a flower blooming in an instant, and it became vibrant.

Xie Fang winked at Si Qi and said with a smile: "You are doing well now, and it is really good, fortunately, God bless you." ”

Si Qi just smiled slightly, and didn't say anything, what Shi Jing had experienced, he knew, she knew that it was enough, there was no need to say it again, and she didn't want these two friends who met in Pingshui to know about those tragic pasts.

As soon as they finished drinking, the waiter began to serve the food again, and the four of them chatted while eating.

Xie Fang coerced Si Qi with vegetables and said, "Actually, their family can be regarded as retribution." ”
