Chapter 53: The Rain Passes and the Sky Clears
The rain for several days made Xiaohai feel very uncomfortable, and her waist was injured after the car accident, and she felt a dull pain when it came to rainy days. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Do you want to just take a day off at home today?, but Xiao Hai immediately dismissed the idea. My son is more than three years old, and he has to be sent to kindergarten in the second half of the year anyway, and the kindergarten fee she likes is not low, so let's go to the store.
Xiaohai finished washing, and her mother had already made breakfast.
"Mom, I went to the store, Zihan got up after a while, remember to ask him to take vitamins and eat them before meals. Xiaohai put breakfast into a lunch box and prepared to take it to the store to eat.
"Got it, you're still not coming back at noon, are you?"
"Well, I'll be back for dinner. Xiao Hai opened the door, turned around and said, "Don't buy duck necks anymore, Zihan can't eat these snacks recently." β
"Got it, got it. The mother coped impatiently.
The small customs came to the door, and while walking, he thought: I really can't let the old man take the child, it's too much to spoil.
She walked out of the building door and opened the folding umbrella. Although the rain was not heavy, it was very dense, and a layer of water had accumulated on the ground. She was still a few hundred meters from the bus stop, and if she walked there, she probably got her shoes soaked.
Xiaohai was thinking about whether to be extravagant, and when she took a taxi to the store, a red sedan stopped in front of her as if she heard her heart.
The driver pressed the window, revealing a thick beard, "Sister, where are you going?"
This was obviously a private car, and Xiaohai took a step back vigilantly, shook his head, and said that he didn't need to take the other party's car.
The bearded man didn't seem surprised, he smiled: "Sister, I don't charge." β
Xiao Hai was more vigilant, she was really not at ease when she looked at this person's appearance. Shoes get wet, and after making up her mind, she walked in the direction of the bus stop.
Unexpectedly, the red car reversed quickly, and then stopped next to Xiaohai, and the bearded man still smiled: "Let's get in the car, sister-in-law." β
When Xiao Hai heard this title, her face changed slightly, and she straightened her face: "You recognize the wrong person." β
"I won't admit my mistake, you are Shao Su's fiancΓ©e. The bearded man patiently explained, "Don't be afraid, I'm a friend of Shao Su and Mo Aogu." β
Xiao Hai's expression changed several times in an instant, and she was a little flustered for a while.
"Your clothing store was originally intended to be opened with Shao Sui. You two can get along, you are a matchmaker with Mo Aogu, right?"
"Even if what you said is right, what are you looking for me?" Xiao Hai grabbed the handle of the umbrella.
"Get in the car, I'll tell you when I get in the car. The bearded man pointed to the side with his head, "You can write down my license plate number and send it to your mother now, I'll wait for you to finish texting." β
When Xiao Hai heard the other party say this, it was not easy to prevaricate anymore. But instead of opening the passenger door, she sat in the back seat of the car.
"To your shop?" asked the bearded man as he watched her close the car door.
"What are you looking for me?" Xiao Hai put away his umbrella and put it at his feet.
The bearded man started the car, "Then go to your shop." β
He didn't answer Xiao Hai's question, which made Xiao Hai a little uneasy: "If you are a friend of Shao Zhi and Mo Aogu, then you should know ......"
"They're all dead, I know. The bearded man said lightly.
For a while, the car was filled with a dull and depressing atmosphere.
"Then why are you still coming to me?" Xiao Hai was the first to break the silence.
"I want to know how Shao Sui died. β
Xiao Hai changed color suddenly, "Since you are his friend, how could you not know about this?"
The bearded man sighed softly, his voice was low, but it contained infinite sourness and helplessness. "I wasn't in Hanseong at the time, I was in trouble, so I didn't come back until a few years later. β
"What's your name?"
"Dai Tian. β
Xiao Hai shook his head, "I've never heard Shao Zhi mention you. β
Dai Tian glanced at Xiao Hai in the rearview mirror, "It's normal that you don't know, because he didn't know the name at the time." β
Xiao Hai was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "You are also a yin ......"
Dai Tian cut off her words: "Don't guess. If I were a bad person, I would have dealt with your mother and son a long time ago, so I don't have to be so careful. β
This sentence succeeded in scaring Xiaohai, and she covered her mouth in fear to avoid screaming herself.
"Shao Sui has done me a great favor, I am a person, and I will repay my kindness. I heard that something happened to Shao Sui, so I rushed back to Hancheng, but I didn't expect you to move to Twenty County, and I finally found you. Dai Tian said solemnly.
"Shao Su died in a car accident, you should have heard of this. Xiao Hai finally calmed down a little.
"I don't believe it. Dai Tian said categorically, "I know that Gao Zhi is a person, so he will not let Shao Su go." β
"You even know this......" Xiao Hai muttered.
"I also know that Gao Zhi used Shao Sui to escape from prison. "There was a red light ahead, and Dai Tian slowed down slowly.
Xiao Hai's face changed again, and she turned her face to look out the car window. The rain falls on the roof of the car and then turns into curves and slides down the windows.
"If my guess is correct, Gao Zhi originally wanted to kill two birds with one stone, and get rid of you and Shao Su at the same time. β
Xiao Hai's eyes gradually turned red, "Can you help Shao Sui avenge it?"
"Not just to help him, but also to you. Dai Tian said in a firm tone, "Please believe that if there is anyone in this world who can bring down the high stubbornness, that person will only be me." He silently added in his heart: no matter what the cost.
Xiao Hai's tears flowed, she gradually changed from choking to sobbing, and finally lay on the seat in the front row and cried.
After the traffic light, Dai Tian drove the car onto a side road and pulled over.
He took out a pack of tissues and silently handed it to Xiao Hai in the back row.
Xiaohai slowly stopped crying, she wiped away her tears, and sat up straight again.
Three years ago, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xiaohai was enjoying a rare vacation, she had already left Honey at this time, and she was pregnant again, so she stayed in the rental house and watched TV.
The phone rang, Xiaohai couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard that it was a courier, she originally thought that the courier was going to rest during the Spring Festival. In this way, she can get a special "radiation protection suit" for pregnant women in advance.
Xiaohai lifted the lock and opened the security door early, she looked at the door, waiting for the courier to go upstairs.
She waited for a pair of hands covering her mouth. She struggled desperately, but was knocked on the back of the head, and then she lost consciousness.
When Xiaohai woke up, he found himself sitting in a chair. Her hands and feet were securely tied, and her eyes were covered with a thick cloth. She had a clump of cloth in her mouth and she made a "whine" sound, but no one bothered her.
I don't know how long I waited, someone brought a mobile phone, took off the strip of cloth from her mouth, "Speak." β
She heard a familiar voice on the other end of the phone: "Xiaohai?" Shao Yi's voice was full of anxiety and some disbelief: "Xiaohai, how are you?"
Xiao Hai reacted at this time, and she tried her best to resist the urge to cry: "Brother Sue!"
"Don't be afraid, I'll come to your rescue soon!"
Xiaohai still wanted to speak, but the phone had been taken away, and the cloth was stuffed into her mouth again.
A man said into his phone, "You heard the voice, don't worry." You honestly do what the boss says, we will let your woman go, if you don't obey, hehe......"
Xiao Hai was confused, Shao Sui was in prison, what could he do for them, the so-called "boss"? Bring contraband, or give him things in the supermarket for nothing?
She was thinking wildly, only to hear the man's voice become respectful again: "Yes! Yes, boss, don't worry, I'll take care of it!"
Next, she had a chance to talk to Shao Sui once a day for a minute, but as soon as the time was up, the man would take away her phone and not allow her to say more.
Xiaohai told them that she was pregnant and begged them to let her go, but to no avail. The group was very well guarded, and three meals a day were brought in, and the man who was in charge of the phone seemed to be a small boss.
"Do you remember his voice, what are the characteristics?" Dai Tian interrupted Xiao Hai.
Xiao Hai shook his head, "Speaking Hancheng dialect, his voice is also very ordinary. But he's bald!"
Dai Tian's eyes lit up, and he turned his head, "Aren't you blindfolded?
"I've heard people call him Xiaoguang, and some people joke about him, saying that he's useless in the room, and he still has to turn on the light. He retorted that he said the same thing to the boss, I guess, Gao Zhi is also bald?"
Dai Tian gave him an approving look, "Yes." β
After the seventh day of the first month, Xiaoguang never took his mobile phone to let Xiaohai and Shao Su talk, Xiaohai was anxious, but he could only wait tormentedly.
Another day passed, Gao Zhi appeared, but Xiaoguang was gone. Xiao Hai waited for many days until Gao Zhi's men took her to a car.
Her eyes were blindfolded, and she could only tell by the sound that they had come from a remote suburb to the bustling city. Then they changed cars and she was stuffed into the trunk of the car.
Just when Xiaohai was about to despair, the car stopped. Someone opened the trunk, and the man untied the rope that bound her, pulled the strip of cloth off her eyes, and finally removed the strip of cloth from her mouth.
Her eyes were pierced by the bright light, and the man hugged her tremblingly, sobbing and said, "Xiaohai, I'm here to save you!"
Hearing that it was Shao Sui's voice, Xiao Hai almost fainted with excitement, she didn't know how long she had been locked up, and the long-term claustrophobic almost made her desperate. She threw herself into Shao Yi's arms and began to cry.
The two of them talked intermittently for a while, Shao Sui asked her to get in the car, and both of them were shocked and just wanted to get out of here quickly.
Speaking of this, Xiao Hai's tears welled up again.
Dai Tian hurriedly took out a new pack of tissues for her, but she shook her head, wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, and then took a deep breath.
In the car, Shao Su briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter. Somehow, that time Mo Aogu pretended to be Gao Zhi was known by Gao Zhi. Then, during the Spring Festival of that year, Mo Aogu and another prisoner escaped from prison. I don't know where Gao Zhi got the news, but when he knew that it was Shao Sui's help, he kidnapped me, and then found Shao Zhi and asked him to cooperate in transporting some prisoners to the prison hospital next door. If Shao does not cooperate, he will ......"
Dai Tian touched his beard, indicating that he understood.
"Shao Zhi already knew that I was pregnant at that time, and he had no choice but to do what Gao Zhi said. After doing what Gao Zhi had ordered, Gao Zhi insisted that he wait another month. It wasn't until the appointed time came that Gao Zhi asked his subordinates to find him and ask him to pick me up.
At that time, Sun Danqiu had already left his post, and Shao Sui was not as free as before, so he finally found an opportunity to introduce suppliers to the supermarket manager arranged by the new prison director, and then left Yinyang Pass. He was afraid that Gao Zhi would not be able to speak, so as soon as he came out, he went straight to the place where Gao Zhi said and found me. β
Xiao Hai stopped again, her lips trembling violently, and the pain was so great that she couldn't speak.
Dai Tian sighed, "Later, your car was hit by a large truck traveling at high speed. Shao Sui died on the spot, and you were sent to the hospital by kind passers-by and picked up a life. Thankfully, the child was saved. Unfortunately, the driver of the accident did not know where to flee. You go to report the crime, but the case is closed. You didn't dare to stay in Hancheng, so you had to move to Twenty County. Isn't that so?"
Xiao Hai covered his face with his hands and nodded sadly.
Both were silent for a few moments.
"By the way, I have another question. Dai Tian said slowly, "You haven't seen Gao Zhi, how can you be sure that the person who appeared later is Gao Zhi?"
Xiao Hai replied, "I heard everyone else call him boss, and he made a few phone calls to meet his daughter. Xiao Hai looked at Dai Tian's puzzled look, and added: "Gao Zhi had a daughter before he was imprisoned. His daughter seems to be in poor health and has been sick. I've heard his little brother talk about it, and it seems that Gao Zhi escaped from prison for his daughter. β
Dai Tian asked in surprise, "What happened to his daughter?"
Xiao Hai shook his head: "I don't know the specific situation, and those people didn't talk about it, probably because his daughter's condition has worsened or something, Gao Zhi was in a hurry and escaped from prison." β
"But, do you know? Yin Yang Guan found seven corpses, the seven people that Shao Sui transported, and there were Gao Zhi inside. β
Xiao Hai showed a confused expression: "However, when I listen to the tone of those people's voices, I should be talking to their boss." Besides, if Gao Zhi died, those people wouldn't let Shao Yu come to pick me up. β
Dai Tian showed a meaningful smile: "Have you forgotten Xiaoguang? I estimate that this Xiaoguang is not only bald, but also very close to Gao Zhi's age, height, and physique." β
"So, Xiaoguang died for Gao Zhi?" Xiao Hai's eyes widened, although she was no longer young, she could still see beautiful traces on that goose egg face.
Dai Tian shrugged his shoulders: "It may also be that he was killed by Gao Zhi." This doesn't matter, in short, I confirm that Gao Zhi is still alive, and I will definitely not let him go. β
Xiao Hai looked at Dai Tian's dirty jacket and was a little suspicious: "Are you so sure?"
Dai Tian smiled mysteriously, and suddenly took out a small cloth bag from the storage box and handed it to Xiao Hai. "It's something I've worked so hard to get, and it belongs to you. β
Xiaohai opened the cloth bag, and a keychain fell out of it, which was shaped like a smooth and small squirrel, which was very cute.
"This is Shao Sui's relic, I think, he was originally going to give it to you, squirrel, it should be a homonym for 'lawsuit'. And, as I recall, you've always loved collecting keychains. β
Xiao Hai clutched the keychain tightly and cried bitterly.
When she slowly calmed down, she realized that Dai Tian didn't know when she had driven the car to the door of her clothing store.
"The rain has stopped, you go, it will be clear in a while. Dai Tian stopped looking at her, "I left you a small gift, you will see it soon." β
Xiao Hai wanted to ask what it was, but Dai Tianping looked ahead, obviously not going to talk to her anymore. Xiaohai had to get out of the car and watch the dusty red sedan leave, then she took out the key and opened the door.
Xiaohai turned on the light and walked to the counter. That's when she noticed a large envelope on the counter. She turned around vigilantly to look, when had anyone been here?
But the shop was quiet, and only the sound of dripping water could be heard on the eaves.
She carefully opened the envelope, which contained the purchase contract, the title deed, the keys, the passbook, and a small folded piece of paper. She spread out the piece of paper, which read:
Live well.
