Chapter 24: The Bazaar (Part II)

The white clouds in the sky are floating, the clouds are gradually moving northward, and the summer wind is gusting, which is less hot and dry than before, and it is a slightly gloomy weather.

People who go to the market buy the things they need for life, and they carry large bags and small bags on their backs to rush home.

In the open flat land, there are idlers controlling the line, kites climbing the wind to reach the clouds, and children catching up with each other to get their beloved objects.

The nine-foot-wide gravel road is sprinkled with Gesang seeds of different colors, and a road winds through the fields, scattered with villagers rushing home.

There are two people in the middle section, one tall and one short, one showing off and one pretty.

The short one hugged a hug of indigo, and the tall one hugged a bosom to eat, and the two were Gan Luo and Bao Xiyuan.

"You live as a girl, and you have to remember to lock the door at night. ”

Thinking about what happened today, I will have some lingering palpitations, especially Bao Xiyuan, who has been nagging Ganluo since he came out of the police station, "You still ask your mother to buy you a mobile phone, and it is convenient to call the police in case something happens." ”

"You said you have thin arms and thin legs, and someone breaks the door at night, and you can't beat it. ”

"It's really not good, I told my mom to tell you to go to my house to live, anyway, my dad went to work and the house was vacant. ”

Ganluo's head hurt all the way, and the other party said that she didn't say a word.

Bao Xiyuan met her in elementary school, different classes, but when she talked about it, she was one of her few friends in elementary school, with a personality like a boy, but she could talk about it and fight with her grandmother.

Xu was thirsty after talking for a long time, and Ganluo waited for her to peel oranges and stuff them in her mouth, and hurriedly said, "Actually, my neighbors take good care of me. I've lived alone for so long, I'm used to it, and my brother will come back on weekends, and I'm not as stupid as you think, and I'm sure I'll run away if I don't see the situation. ”

"Today's events should be a reminder that I will be more cautious in the future. We'll have to hurry up, it's going to rain on this day. ”

"Okay. Anyway, you really have to be careful alone, for fear that the wrong mind will kidnap you and sell you. ”

Bao Xiyuan followed behind Ganluo and chattered, she probably remembered that the first time she went to Ganluo's house was when she graduated from the sixth grade of primary school, "This is the second time I have been to your house." ”

"Hmm. Do you remember the road?" Gan Luo stopped in front of him, turned his head to look at her, and smiled in his eyes, "You followed me that time. ”

"Well, I still remember this stubble. Don't talk about that, you tell me honestly, is there anything new in the near future?"

"What's new?" Ganlo looked at her blankly, thinking that this topic was really serious.

"Who is that tall, handsome boy who runs with you?"

Has this matter already spread? Gan Luo felt a sigh in his heart, Bao Xiyuan was not studying in Anyue Middle School, so it was impossible for him to know, so he couldn't help asking, "Who told you this?"

Bao Xiyuan saw Ganluo frowning, saw her strange face, and explained: "I talked to Hu Mei on the phone the day before yesterday about you, and she revealed it to me. ”

"Whew, that's good. Yes, there is such a thing, but I have nothing to do with him, just an ordinary friend. Gan Luo exhaled in her heart, mentioning Zhou Jingrui, she instinctively wanted to skip this topic, and unconsciously panicked.

Could it be that he went to the provincial capital because of his illness? She panicked, was it because of ...... Stop, stop, Ganlo's thoughts twisted into knots in his mind.

"What about Zhang Qian?"

Ganluo stopped, his thoughts hadn't been retracted, and his heart was a little messy, "What are you doing with Zhang?"

"He bullied you with that guy when he was in elementary school, and I heard that he is now in the same class as you. Bao Xiyuan felt unhappy in his heart, and said very indignantly: "When you transferred to the same primary school in the fourth grade, I felt strange that he transferred to the same primary school with you, and now you are in the same class, you say, does he still hate you......"

"Nope. Ganlo interrupted her and took a step forward, "I don't interfere with the river water with him now, don't think about it, it's okay." ”

"Xiao Luo, you have to be careful, you know the reason. Bao Xiyuan pulled her over and clasped her shoulders and said, "Stay away from him and Hu Mei." ”

"I know. ”

Bao Xiyuan touched Ganluo's head, she hadn't experienced this girl's experience, but just looking at her eyes, there were depressed scars under her pupils as clean as black stones, how she survived all those years, it was distressing to think about it.

Gan Luo pulled out a handful of Gesang and stuffed it into her arms, and changed the subject: "You say, how about we go to the police station to find out the result of solving the case after a while?"

"Okay. ”

There was a moment of silence between the two men.

Bao Xiyuan's stomach rumbled, and he pulled Gan Luo with an innocent face, "I'm so hungry, why don't you ride a bicycle when you say you rush to the market, it's so annoying to throw ham (walking)!"

Gan Luo held back a smile and took the sugar gourd from the paper bag and gave it to her, "Huh." ”

Asking while eating, and occasionally feeding Ganluo, Bao Xiyuan still kept talking: "How are the gardenias I planted last time I came?

"Well, the flowers bloomed so well that someone stole them. Ganluo was a little embarrassed, last time Bao Xiyuan said that he would take it back to raise it himself, but he was taken away, and he couldn't help but say: "Or, you will take a pot of cuckoos back this time?" or something else that you think is easy to raise." ”

"Good. To be honest, why are you so good-looking, I wanted to go down a few pots last time I went to your house. ”

"Xiao Luo, why don't you go to my house to live, the flowers are stolen, you flower girl must have someone to worry about. ”

Gan Luo couldn't help but quip when he heard this: "Yohe, hearing this, have you been thinking about it?"

"No, I'm very worried. "The two of them are chatting nonsense, and they are not boring.

"Is there anything interesting around your house?"

Gan Luo shook his head, thought about it, and felt that it was exciting, turned his head to look at her and smiled: "Take you to visit the cemetery, dare not, the kind in the seventies and eighties, the buried ones are all genuine, some tombs have collapsed, different periods, the specifications and shapes of the construction are different, there is a relatively high rock slope and hanging coffin." ”

"I'm going to go, I'm going to go back and show you the Gaozu Tomb Rock over there, which is a return gift. ”

"Good. Ganluo agreed, and the two were in high spirits and quickened their pace home.

......

The water flowing out of the faucet is very cool, Ganluo spreads out his palm to receive the water, the water washes through the palm prints, and then flows into the sink along the fingers, and there are occasional bubbles between the streams of water.

After sending Bao Xiyuan back, she paid attention to the Zhou family when she returned home, and the door was closed.

There are newly pressed car tire marks on the wet mud edge in front of the door, and looking at the tire indentation, there are two cars, one in front of the courtyard gate, and the other at the intersection where you enter.

Looking at the edge of the indentation of the mud, they should have been picked up early in the morning.

When Ganluo came back, he noticed that the moss near the courtyard wall of the Zhou family was dirty, it was in the afternoon, the light was still clear, the moss was soaked by the morning dew, and the water content evaporated in the afternoon, and the traces on the original pressure were more obvious.

There were three or four different footprints on the moss, and the steps were messy.

"Look at the size, it should be the footprints of an adult man, he lives with his grandmother and aunt, even if an adult male from the villagers visited before, the moss grows on the edge of the courtyard wall, and it will not be trampled like that. ”

"Could those footprints have been left by the man who took him away?"

"But why is it so messy, why do you step on the edge of the courtyard wall that is most unlikely to step on?

The more she thought about it, the more she made Ganluo a little distracted, was she a little too cautious because of today's events?

Turning off the faucet and drying her hands, Ganluo locked the door and walked towards the door of the Zhou family's courtyard, she wanted to see it again.
