Lin Yan listened to my excited voice in the living room, stopped eating, put down the dishes and chopsticks and walked over.

"Ah Feng, what happened?" Lin Yan asked with concern.

"Chen Li... She killed herself!"

"Oh my God, is it true?" Lin Yan also felt terrified and shocked when she heard it.

"I heard her best friend say that she committed suicide by taking sleeping pills last night, and she didn't come back today... Now I'm back home!" I sat down on the couch with a distracted face.

Although, Chen Li and I have broken up, and something like this happened again last night, I still feel some hatred in my heart during the day.

But this is my girlfriend who has been with me for three years, more than a thousand days and nights! When I heard the news, there was still a little hatred in my heart, and I only felt a burst of pain and regret in my heart. Why is this? Did I commit suicide because of today's incident? I fell into a deep sense of self-remorse.

Suddenly, the phone on the coffee table rang again.

I saw that it was still Zhang Jingyan calling, so I quickly connected the phone.

"Hey, I hung up the phone in such a hurry, and I forgot to tell you something. Did you know that Chen Li's father was seriously ill?" asked Zhang Jingyan.

"When did it happen? How do I not know?" I asked, a little eagerly.

"I think it was checked out last year, and it was stomach cancer. Why, didn't she tell you?" asked Zhang Jingyan a little strangely.

Oh my God, what happened last year, before we broke up, how I didn't know!

"Their family is really miserable now, her father is in the hospital, and her brother is still studying. Her mother was so heartbroken that she didn't dare tell her father about it. Zhang Jingyan's voice became choked when she said this.

"As her best friend, I know you've broken up, but I hope you can go see her family if you have time!" Zhang Jingyan on the other end of the phone was already sobbing.

"Zhang Jingyan, thank you for telling me, I know!" I put down the phone with a heavy heart.

Why didn't Chen Li tell me about her father's illness? Did Chen Li commit suicide because of last night's incident? I kept thinking about these questions. No, I'll have to go to her house right away.

"You go to eat first, I'm going to Chen Li's house right away!" I said to Lin Yan.

"I'll go with you!" Lin Yan said without thinking.

"It's not good, it's already night, and it takes two hours to go from the city to Chen Li's country house!" After all, this matter has nothing to do with Lin Yan, and I don't want her to go too hard.

"It's okay, her suicide may be related to the fact that we are in the hotel today, and I feel very guilty in my heart!" Lin Yan said.

"Besides, you don't have a car, how can you go so late? I'll accompany you, if there is anything, the two of us can take care of it!" Lin Yan said with some worry.

"Okay, then let's pack up our things first!" I saw that Lin Yan's attitude was very resolute.

We weren't in the mood to eat anymore and cleaned up the table. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to come back tonight, so I brought some belongings.

"You give me the car keys, I'll go to the yard and drive the car out first, you wait for me downstairs!" I said.

I drove the car out of the yard, picked up Lin Yan, and looked at the time, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening, and it would take ten o'clock in the evening to get to Qingshan Town, Guidong County, Chen Li's hometown.

I was worried that Lin Yan was not familiar with the road, so I would still drive. I set up my navigation and set off.

There are some traffic jams in the urban area, and it took more than ten minutes to get on the highway. After getting on the highway, I walked for about 80 minutes to Guidong County.

There is no highway in Guidong County to Qingquan Town, so you can only take the rural road. Navigation shows that there are still more than two dozen kilometers. There are no street lights on the village road, the shade of the trees on both sides of the road is very lush, and only the sound of frogs and insects can be heard in the dark night, and Lin Yan sits next to him and rarely speaks.

After continuing to walk for half an hour, I finally arrived at Qingquan Town. Although I am from the same county as Chen Li, my hometown is in Sidu Town, one in the east and one in the west with Qingquan Town, more than an hour's drive away, and I have only been to Chen Li's hometown once. Fortunately, there is navigation, and I also remember that the name of their village is Dongshan Village, and her home is next to the neighborhood committee of Dongshan Village.

After the navigation display arrived at the destination, I turned the car lights to high beams, and with my vague memory, I finally found the vicinity of Chen Li's house.

At this time, it was already ten o'clock, the people in the countryside went to bed relatively early, there were no lights in the village, and occasionally a few dog barks were heard in the dark night, which seemed cold and a little gloomy.

Lin Yan didn't dare to get out of the car while sitting in the car, so I had to get out of the car first, open the car door, and take her hand and get out of the car.

Holding Lin Yan's hand and walking for a while, I have already determined that the one in front of me that is still lit is Chen Li's house.

But the two of them were very entangled at the door of the house, how to face these things when they went in? What can they do? I discussed with Lin Yan for a long time. It's so far away, and I'm going to go in hard.

I took Lin Yan's hand and walked into Chen Li's house. I saw a cloth pulled up in the hall, and there was a table in front of the cloth, and Chen Li's head was placed on the table. The countryside is still the custom of burial, and it is generally such a scene.

There were a few people sitting in the hall, and an older man was a little surprised to see us come in. But I soon guessed that we were Chen Li's friends, and he beckoned us to sit down and serve tea.

We sat for a while and chatted with a few people in the room, indicating that we were friends with Chen Li. The elder is Chen Li's uncle, and the one who looks to be only sixteen or seventeen years old is Chen Li's younger brother Chen Jun.

Lin Yan and I put three pillars of incense on Chen Li and burned some banknotes according to the customs of the countryside. Looking at Chen Li's avatar, recalling more than three years of love, thinking of what happened last night, it seemed to be vivid, and I couldn't help but shed tears, and I could only silently wish her a good journey.

We found Chen Li's uncle and asked him where Chen Li's mother was.

Uncle Chen sighed: "The white-haired man sends the black-haired man, it's pitiful! I've been lying in bed, and I haven't eaten a bite of food or drunk a sip of water since the afternoon." ”

Uncle Chan took us to a room. I saw Chen Li's mother lying on the bed, her eyes glazed, obviously crying dry tears.

I came to Chen Li's house to see her mother before, and knowing that her surname was Li, I walked up to her bed and called, "Aunt Li!"

Seeing her weakly turn her head to look at me and Lin Yan, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Auntie, we are friends of Chen Li, come to see you, please mourn and change!" I said softly.

"You're Ah Feng! I still know you, you've been to our house!" Aunt Li looked at me seriously.

"Ah Feng, you had a good relationship with Chen Li at that time, why didn't you get along later? After the New Year, Chen Li never told me about you. Alas, how could this kid be so stupid!" Aunt Li said and wiped away tears again.

I was speechless for a while, and I didn't know what to say.

"Auntie, don't cry, we are Chen Li's good friends, and we came to visit you to hope that you take care of your health!" Lin Yan comforted.

"Ah Feng, you tell the truth, did you dislike my Chen Li, and found another girl to make Chen Li angry?" Aunt Li said and glanced at Lin Yan.

Lin Yan lowered her head when she looked at her, and I hurriedly said, "Auntie, don't misunderstand, she is not my object, she is Chen Li's friend." ”

"Yes, Auntie, I am a friend that Chen Li met when she was working in Guangdong!" Lin Yan had no choice but to lie against her will.

"Auntie, that's the case, I borrowed tens of thousands of yuan from her last year, and I didn't have time to pay it back to her, so I came here today to give her a ride, and by the way, I will return the money to you!" Lin Yan said.

"Money, I haven't heard this kid say who he lent money to, what's your name, and I haven't heard Chen Li talk about you!" the aunt looked at Lin Yan carefully with some doubts.

"Auntie, it's true, her name is Lin Yan, she is a friend we met when we were working, and she was short of money when she got married last year, so she borrowed 30,000 yuan from Chen Li. I quickly added.

I thought to myself, how to give her this money, and I didn't bring so much cash at this time, when I suddenly saw Chen Li's younger brother come in.

"Chen Jun, do you know how to use Alipay?" I quickly asked him.

"Yes, usually my sister pays me living expenses by Alipay transfer!" Chen Jun said.

"Then you quickly turn on your phone, and I will transfer the money I owe to your sister back to you. Lin Yan said.

Chen Jun turned on the phone, and Lin Yan transferred 30,000 yuan to his account. When I was discussing outside just now, there was 10,000 yuan that Lin Yan insisted on giving, and the other 20,000 yuan was the honorarium that Wen Yuxia gave me yesterday, and I asked Lin Yan to send it to him together.

We chatted with Aunt Li for a while and learned that at the end of December last year, Chen Li's father was diagnosed with stomach cancer, and the only pillar of the family fell, and the originally happy family fell into pain in an instant.

After the Chinese New Year, Chen Li's father was admitted to Chenzhou People's Hospital for treatment, while Chen Li worked in a real estate company near the hospital while taking care of her father.

Last night, Chen Li found her younger brother Chen Jun and gave him a bank card, saying that she had something to do and had to go on a long trip.

At noon today, when Aunt Li went to Chen Li's room, she found her ......

"Now that this has happened, her father is still lying in the hospital, and he doesn't dare to tell him the news!" Aunt Li began to cry again.

We couldn't bear to ask about anything else, and I regret that it hurt her to go through these questions at this time.

Lin Yan and I said some comforting words to tell her to rest early, and then I said goodbye...
