It's those who are wrong, the brutes who deserve a thousand cuts.

The girl's face showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, and tears were about to fall, but she endured it alive.

Her emotions churned terribly, and after a long time, she said, "Go back, you can't help me, no one can help me." ”

After she said this, she stopped looking at Zhou He, and trotted all the way down the mountain.

Zhou He was inexplicably tired, couldn't lift his spirits, and was in a daze from time to time when he went back.

Cheng Wei brought the doctor over to ask the doctor to examine her, but she said that she was fine and went back to the room early after dinner.

She barely slept all night, and got up early the next day. I went to the girl's house alone.

It was still early when she passed, and the girl had already gotten up and was fetching water and washing clothes.

She probably didn't expect Zhou Hehui to pass, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

Zhou He tried his best to look natural, and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything I can help with?"

The girl whispered no, looked in the direction of the room, and said, "What are you doing again?"

Zhou He didn't speak, but when he saw that she had poured water, he picked up a bucket and helped draw water from the well. Her body was weak, and it took a few times for a bucket of water to be brought up. A fine sweat broke out on his forehead.

Probably seeing that she was working hard to carry it, and when she was about to carry a second bucket, the girl stopped her and said, "Go back, and my grandmother will be up later." After I've eaten, I'll go to the place where I was yesterday to collect firewood. ”

Zhou He looked into the dilapidated door, nodded, and said yes.

At noon, she waited early at the place where she collected firewood yesterday. The girl came a little later, and when she saw Zhou He, she didn't speak, and picked up firewood. There was silence for a long time before she asked, "Where are you from?"

Zhou Ji didn't know what she meant by asking, but he still said frankly: "Yucheng." ”

The girl didn't speak again this time, and after a while, she asked in a low voice, "What do you want to know?"

It was difficult for Zhou He to speak, all she wanted to know was to tear open her bloody wound again.

She wanted to say something as a foreshadowing, but she couldn't say a word at the moment. After a minute or two, she asked with difficulty, "Are you willing to stand up?" You don't have to be afraid of anything, we will do our best to protect you and your family. After a slight pause, she continued: "According to the investigation, there should be many victims. If all this is not revealed, there will be many more victims. ”

The girl obviously already knew what she was saying. She reached out and brushed the messy hair between her sideburns, lowered her head, and said, "I'm just a bad life." Leave me alone, I know you're a good person, and if anything happens to me, please take care of my dad and grandparents. ”

It's just fourteen or fifteen years old, and in his tone, he doesn't look like a child.

Zhou He's heart ached and said, "Don't worry, whether it is you or your family, we will do our best to protect you." ”

The girl smiled and said, "Thank you." After a slight pause, she continued, "I'll be back to school in the afternoon, and you'll come back to me then." ”

Zhou He's okay.

Things were completed more smoothly than expected, but in any case, this is not a good thing, Zhou He's heart was very depressed, and when he went back in the afternoon, he actually started a fever.

She was no longer needed for the rest. Cheng Wei didn't let her interfere anymore, and let Yan Xu guard her every step of the way.

Zhouhe's fever was repeated, and the doctor who brought it checked and said that the body's resistance was too weak, and it was infected with wind and cold. Although the medicine was used for the symptoms, I don't know why, the fever never went away.

Because she had only undergone surgery not long ago, the doctor who came with her did not dare to use the medicine indiscriminately, and told her to go to the hospital for examination before taking the medicine.

Cheng Wei left the matter here, and personally drove Zhou He back to Yucheng the next day.

The girl finally mustered up the courage to stand up, and she couldn't make any mistakes. Zhou He didn't let him send him back, let him stay, and promised to accompany her back.

Cheng Wei didn't listen to her at all, and told her that someone would handle the matter here, so that she didn't have to worry about it anymore.

Zhou He knew that he couldn't resist him, so he had to let her go.

She had a low-grade fever and was dazed all the time, and she didn't eat much. Cheng Wei didn't take her back to Yucheng again, so he stopped in the city and called the doctor from Yucheng to come over.

Zhou Ji was fine, but after a series of tests, it was still just a cold. The fever has not gone away because her resistance is too weak, so she can only raise it slowly.

She stayed in the city for three days, until the fever completely subsided, and then Cheng Wei took her back to Yucheng.

She is simply a big loss of vitality this time, and she has always been cowardly. Auntie has been making all kinds of soup to nourish her body and boost her appetite, but she is still cowardly.

It's boring to stay in the house every day, so Cheng Wei sent books and a lot of gadgets to relieve her boredom. But she couldn't lift her spirits.

By mid-November, Zhou He gradually got better. Start re-resuming the translated manuscript. This year's winter was exceptionally cold, with snow falling at the end of the month.

Ever since she got sick, Cheng Wei has hardly told her those things. Even if it is, it is always good news and not bad news. Zhou He gradually stopped asking.

At the beginning of December, Xu Yuanning, who was in Kyoto, was finally not so busy and flew to Yucheng. and brought Zhou He a lot of supplements to replenish his body.

Zhou He was already scared of eating these things during this time, so he didn't have to bring them over.

She was still skinny, and she didn't have any flesh on her face. Xu Yuanning cooked in person under the guidance of her aunt that day, staring at her and eating a bowl of rice and drinking a bowl of soup.

Cheng Wei couldn't get any news from there, and when he was drinking tea and watching TV in the living room at night, Zhou Hecai asked about the girl.

She has been sick for so long this time, and she can't hide this matter from Xu Yuanning and Li Peiyuan. They all knew that she had been to Qingzhen.

Xu Yuanning didn't hide it from her, and simply said the current situation of that girl.

In order not to startle the snake, the girl is still in school. Her family is still at home. However, they are all arranged to be taken care of.

In order to help her get rid of those people temporarily, Cheng Wei started from within the school and found evidence of the principal's bribery and reported it anonymously. Now the principal has been taken away for investigation, and the vice principal of the school is temporarily taking over the position of principal. The school has been quietly purged.

This means that those people don't dare to act rashly for the time being.

Zhou He knew that this matter was not in a hurry, and nodded.

Although Zhou He was still wearing a hat, the hair on his head had grown short. Xu Yuanning reached out and touched her head, and said, "Ahe, can you discuss anything with me in the future? Wei Renyi's people are not good people. ”

Zhou He didn't know where he would, and squeezed out a smile and nodded.

Xu Yuanning rarely came back, and he didn't want the atmosphere to be so depressing, so he quickly changed the topic. Talked about the daily trivialities.

Zhou He originally thought that he would stay for a few days before leaving. But the next day, after receiving a phone call, he hurried back to Kyoto.

There were only two people left in the house, Zhou He and Auntie.

At the beginning of December, Yucheng ushered in the heaviest snow of the year. The snow began to fall in the early hours of the morning, and by the next morning the yard was already snow-white. Pile it up thickly.

Zhou He hardly goes out, and the lack of snow has no effect on her. After getting up in the morning and having breakfast, she was supposed to get up and help her aunt clear the snow.

But because the last cold dragged on for a long time, my aunt didn't let her do it. He didn't even let her go out, and burned Wangwang's charcoal fire to make her sit by the fire.

Zhou He was bored and stunned.

Cheng Wei came over at noon, probably because he was afraid that the snow would be as heavy as it was a few years ago, so he brought daily necessities such as vegetables and fruits. Let Auntie not go out again during this time.

He lived in the courtyard next door all this time, but the time for the two to see each other was very small. He was very busy, and he often went out early and returned late. It's a rare rest.

Cheng Wei stayed in the house all day and played chess with Zhou He. Zhou He is not his opponent, plus he is absent-minded, he has always lost.

Cheng Wei saw that she was absent-minded, and she didn't play it again after a few rounds. Shogi put it away and asked, "The weather will be colder in a few days, do you want to go on vacation to a warmer place?"

This winter has just begun, and it will be cold until the weather will warm up during the New Year. She is now fed by herself, and the whole family is not hungry, and it is the same wherever she stays.

Zhou He had planned to go out to find a class after the New Year, and he didn't plan to go back and forth, shook his head, and said, "No need, it's not cold at home, it's good." ”

I didn't feel it before, and now I don't know what's wrong, I often feel cold. It's probably because I've been idle for too long. It was a long, long time ago that she was so idle.

Cheng Wei nodded, paused, and said, "Professor Ren's family will go abroad at the end of this month." ”

This is a predetermined thing. It's just that I've been waiting for Ren Yurong's body to get better.

Zhou He hadn't seen Ren Yurong and them for a long time, and he was slightly stunned.

Cheng Wei looked at him and said, "Do you want to go over and see them?"

Zhou He quickly came back to his senses, shook his head, and said, "No need. ”

Cheng Wei groaned slightly, and said, "The ticket is booked on the 30th, and I will ask Yan Xu to come over and accompany you to the airport at that time." ”

"No need. Zhou He refused again. The relationship between her and Ren Yurong is bland, and even if she goes, it will only add embarrassment.

Cheng Wei didn't insist anymore.

On this day, Cheng Wei stayed in the house until more than nine o'clock, and Zhou went to rest before leaving. Outside, the snow is still falling, and traffic restrictions have been implemented in some places.

Because there is food at home, Zhou He is not in a hurry at all. When I woke up in the morning, I saw that there was a manuscript in the mailbox that needed to be translated, and after reading it roughly, I began to translate.

She finished translating all in one go, and in the afternoon she browsed through the online recruitment post.

When she had surgery, Meng Shan said that she would go back to the company if she got better. But she had no intention of going back. She is very clear about her current physical condition, and she no longer travels often.

Meng Shan took care of her, but she couldn't help but know it.

There are a lot of online recruitment posts, and she slowly browses through them. I'm going to find one that is easier and doesn't have to work too many shifts.

She won't be working until the end of the year, and now she's just looking for what kind of job she should look for in the future.

The day passed very quickly, I hadn't made dumplings for too long, and my aunt made dumplings at night. and wrapped some more, planning to send it to Cheng Wei next door.

Although the snow is falling heavily today, Cheng Wei still went out. My aunt hadn't met anyone in the past.

Later in the evening, as soon as the two of them sat down at the table and began to eat, the doorbell rang outside. There are very few people here except Cheng Wei, and the aunt thought that Cheng Wei was coming, so she put down her chopsticks and went out to open the door quickly.

She went a short time before she returned, but there was no one behind her. Zhou He looked back at her, and she said, "Miss Zhou, there is a young lady surnamed Han outside, and she said she knows you." ”

As soon as she said Miss Han, Zhou He's first reaction was that it was Han Xin. She nodded, got up and went out.

When I went out and opened the door, I saw Han Xin wearing a long white down jacket standing outside. The snow was falling heavily, and there were already a lot of snowflakes in her hair.

Although he had already guessed that it was her, Zhou He was still stunned, and then stepped aside and said, "Miss Han, please come in." ”

Han Xin squeezed out a reluctant smile on her face and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry to disturb." ”

Zhou He said politely, closed the door, and led her into the house.

Han Xin was not very comfortable, and squeezed out a smile to explain: "I have something to do with Cheng Wei, and I haven't seen him come back after waiting for a long time." ”

She said that the wait will be long, and the waiting time should not be short.

After speaking, without waiting for Zhou He to speak, he said: "It's too cold outside, I'll stay here with you and wait for him to come back." ”

Zhou He smiled back and asked his aunt to take the bowl out and give Han Xin dumplings. Han Xin didn't refuse, said thank you, sat down and ate.

She didn't eat much, and ate a small bowl of dumplings. I probably don't like dipping dishes, I haven't touched them at all, and I eat white dumplings.

Zhou He and she couldn't find anything to say, and in the end, Han Xin found the topic first, she looked around and said, "The houses here are quite chic." ”

She is a typical lady in Kyoto, with a degree of advance and retreat, and she doesn't feel cramped and embarrassed at all.

Zhou He smiled slightly and said, "The old house is a little damp." It's not that comfortable to live in. Her tone was quite serious, as if she was really discussing the matter of the house with Han Xin.

Han Xin nodded and said, "It's a little bit." You can ask a craftsman to renovate it. ”

The two of them were talking like that, and Han Xin would get up and go to the window from time to time to take a look. See if the yard next door is lit up.

After she got up back and forth a few times, Zhou He said, "You can try to call him." ”

Han Xin was silent for a while, and after a while, she reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "He doesn't answer my call." ”

She's obviously here on purpose.

Zhou He didn't speak, took out his mobile phone, and pushed it to Han Xin.

Han Xin whispered thank you, took Zhou He's mobile phone and dialed Cheng Wei's number. But Cheng Wei's mobile phone was turned off and did not get through.

She pushed the phone back to Zhou He, sat down for a while, suddenly smiled apologetically, and said, "Do you have alcohol? ”

The smile on her face was very reluctant. Zhou He got up and went to get a bottle of red wine and a glass.

They had already opened their mouths to ask for wine, but Han Xin was not polite, she opened the wine herself, poured it in the cup and drank it slowly.

The room was silent, save for the small stove next to it, which crackled and exploded. Zhou He sat silently on the side.

Han Xin drank a bottle of wine for more than two hours, but the house next door did not turn on the lights. She drank very well, and when she saw that the time was already more than ten o'clock, she stood up crookedly and said goodbye to Zhou He.

It was not safe for her to walk like this, so let her stay and rest.

Han Xin waved her hand and said no, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "Thank you, no need." You know, I'm an alcoholic, all right. ”

She staggered and walked outside. Zhou He wanted to send her to the alley to find a car to take her back to her residence, but she refused, saying that she was very sober and not drunk. Walking around is just the right time to dissipate the smell of alcohol.

Her figure soon disappeared into the long alley, leaving only a string of snow-white footprints. Zhou He stood outside for a long time before entering the house.

Her hands and feet were frozen, and she went into the house to warm herself by the fire. After staying for a while, he still took out his mobile phone and called Cheng Wei. But Cheng Wei's mobile phone is still turned off.

She dialed the number again.

Li Jing's phone was answered after a short time, and Zhou He asked him to tell Cheng Wei that Han Xin had come over and left drunk.

Li was silent on the other end of the phone for a while, and said, "Mr. Cheng has gone back to you." His phone was turned off. It's been a long time since we left, and we should be there in a moment. ”

Zhou He didn't say anything more and hung up the phone.

Not long after the phone hung up, the sound of the door opening came from next door. Zhou He walked out.

Cheng Wei drove back alone, and he had just parked the car when she passed. Seeing him pass, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "Why haven't you slept yet?"

It was already eleven o'clock, and she had already rested by this time.

Flakes of snow fell on her black hair, melting into water in a moment.

Cheng Wei's brows furrowed even tighter, and he immediately said, "Come into the house and say." ”

He was about to go inside, but Zhou He didn't move, and said, "No need, I'll come over and tell you, Miss Han has been waiting for you here for a day." She drank a bottle of red wine and had just left for a short time. The phone call to you is turned off, and it has not been connected. ”

Cheng Wei was slightly stunned, Zhou He didn't say anything more, and turned around and went back to the house.

As soon as she entered, she heard the sound of a car's engine coming from next door. Cheng Wei restarted the car and went out.

Zhou He warmed his hands and feet, went to wash and lay on the bed.

Cheng Wei over there, the car didn't drive for a long time, and he saw Han Xin walking on the road. She had fallen and her white down jacket was covered in mud.

Cheng Wei pulled over, opened the door and got out of the car. walked towards Han Xin.

As if she had a premonition, Han Xin looked up at him as he was about to approach.

Cheng Xin's handsome face didn't have any expression, and Han Xin's face showed some self-deprecation, and said, "You're back." ”

Cheng Wei glanced at her and asked coldly, "What are you doing over there?"

The self-deprecation on Han Xin's face became even stronger, she straightened up and said, "If I don't want to go over, will you meet me?"

Cheng Wei did not speak.

Han Xin's beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and she looked straight at Cheng Wei under the dim yellow light of the street lamp, and said, "Cheng Wei, have you forgotten what you said at the beginning?"

Her beautiful face was pitiful and painful.

Cheng Wei took out a cigarette, avoided her gaze, and said, "No matter what I said at the beginning, you should know that it was in the past." ”

His tone was understated.

Han Xin took a step back, and a cold liquid ran down her cheeks. She still looked straight at Cheng Wei, with a miserable smile on her face, and said, "Is it?

She said it like crazy, and she laughed out loud. attracted pedestrians on the road to look over.

Cheng Wei looked at her, let her smile, and after a while, he said, "You're drunk." ”

Han Xin laughed so hard that tears fell down and said, "Yes, I'm drunk, drunk." But I'd rather I'm so drunk forever and never wake up again. ”

Her tears fell quickly, and in an instant, she burst into tears. She crouched down with her body in her arms.

Cheng Wei didn't step forward, just looked at her quietly. Passers-by began to stop and whispered.

Cheng Wei didn't reach out to help Han Xin up, but picked up his mobile phone, dialed 110, and asked someone over there to come over, saying that someone was drunk here.

He was ruthless, and after making the call, he didn't stay, went back to the car, and quickly started the car and left.

Leaving Han Xin in place, she was like a madman, crying and laughing, and drunk. It wasn't until the police came that she was taken away.

I also know if it's because the wine is coming up, or if I'm tired from crying. When she got into the police car, she didn't make any more trouble, just sat numbly and stupidly. She didn't say anything the police asked. Just sit there.

Cheng Wei's car did not really leave, but stopped at the opposite alley. Watching the police car drift away, he took out a cigarette, closed his eyes and smoked in the car.

After smoking a cigarette, he threw the cigarette butt into the snow before starting the car and driving away.

From time to time, the lights of the street lamps on both sides fell into the car, and his handsome face was immersed in shadows, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
