Mei Mu'an sat in the car alone, and Lin Changan got out of the car alone and didn't know where he slipped to.

The piano music in the music library had been played for more than half of the time, but Mei Muan still had no intention of moving.

"Here, jujube kernel sesame cake! Let's eat some first, it's delicious!"

Lin Changan sat down in front and handed the cake in his hand to Mei Mu'an, who looked at the cake wrapped in kraft paper, as if he had returned to his childhood.

"What are you looking at? Can you eat enough when you look at it? Eat quickly! When this person is hungry, he is prone to be in a bad mood, and when he is in a bad mood, he is easy to be unable to figure things out. I've got milk with me, and I've just seen that there's a hotel in front of me!"

Lin Changan babbled a lot, thinking about distracting Mei Mu'an, looking at her sad eyes was really unbearable.

"Where did you buy this bread?"

"It's right there by the bridge in town. I think a lot of people are standing there eating it, and I think it's a specialty!"

Mei Mu'an looked at the jujube kernel hemp cake in his hand and nodded, he didn't expect that after such a long time, the family that sold the cake was still selling cakes here.

Mei Mu'an didn't answer, he opened the kraft paper very carefully and took a small bite, and sure enough, the taste was almost the same as when he was a child, but the person who made this cake that day was long gone.

"Is it delicious?"

"Well, it's delicious! Look at it, their jujube kernel cake is the best made here, and many people come here!"

Lin Changan looked at Mei Mu'an's eyes when she said this, and felt a little strange in her heart, her words carried a little pride and a little sadness.

"So you've eaten it, then I'm still nagging and talking a lot, hahaha, let's eat!"

Lin Changan bypassed this topic, raised the cake and took a bite, he has always disliked sweets, but seeing that she is in a bad mood, it is better to eat with some sweets.

Mei Mu'an has been here for so long, and she has always seen that her food is very small, but today she has eaten all this cake in small bites.

"Let's go inside!"

"Go in?"

Mei Muan laid the brown paper on his lap and folded it neatly, and then put it in the small bag he carried with him. Lin Changan looked at her movements with some doubts, but he didn't ask more.

"Let's go!"

Mei Mu'an opened the back door and walked towards the town, Lin Changan recalled the action she had folded the kraft paper just now, which was really a little strange.

"Won't you come with me?"

"Go! I don't worry about you alone! By the way, I have already snooped out just now, and that Mei Aoren lives in front, yes, not far from the seller of jujube kernels. ”

Mei Mu'an turned his back and looked at the stream not far away, and nodded, even in response to Lin Changan's words.

It was already near evening, and a large red fiery cloud appeared in the sky, illuminating the whole town with a hint of near-dusk beauty.

Lin Changan was a little sorry that he didn't go out with a SLR, so he kept raising his head and staring at the sky, and didn't pay too much attention to Mei Mu'an's expression.

Mei Mu'an didn't have the heart to look at the red clouds in the sky, but kept staring at the direction of Mei Aoren's house pointed by others, saying that he was living in a single old man's house, and seeing that the house was short and a little dilapidated, he wanted to come to his generation to be retribution.

"Looks like that's it! Let's go over!"

Lin Changan stretched out his hand and pointed to the low house as he walked over, but the wooden door was closed, and only a small window opened a little gap.

"Hello, is anyone home?"

Lin Changan stretched out his hand and knocked on the wooden door, but no one inside responded. After knocking a few times, no one paid attention, so Mei Muan went to the window to look inside.

"It's strange, why didn't anyone respond to it after knocking for so long. Isn't it at home?"

Mei Mu'an looked at the darkness inside the room, and there was not even a candle lit, could it be that it was really not in it.

"Ahh

A hand like dead wood suddenly stretched out from inside the darkness and grabbed Mei Mu'an's arm, and Lin Changan heard the screams and hurriedly pulled Mei Mu'an away.

"Who is it!

That hand was slapped by Lin Changan and stretched it in pain, Lin Changan pulled Mei Muan behind him and stared inside carefully, but he didn't see a figure.

"I'm hungry! I'm hungry......"

"Did you hear that?"

Mei Mu'an stood behind Lin Chang'an and heard a faint voice from under the window, Lin Chang'an frowned and escorted Mei Mu'an to walk forward a little, and then listened carefully to what was being said inside.

"Hey, you're driving to him, he's crazy, who are you!"

Seeing that Lin Changan and the two had been standing in front of this hut, an aunt next to them came over and looked them up and down.

"What do you say, this man is crazy?"

"Who the hell are you!"

Mei Mu'an's heart was so heavy that she seemed to be out of breath, but she didn't expect that the descendants of her arrogant and domineering uncle would fall to such a point.

"I ...... I'm a distant relative of their family! I didn't expect this person to be ......."

"Relatives? I haven't heard of any other relatives in their Lao Mei family! I tell you, if you are really relatives, you will persuade him to adopt a son. Look what it was like to torture the old man!"

The woman looked around for a moment, and saw that no one had noticed it, so she stepped forward, first glared at the window, and then lowered her voice to speak to the two.

His adopted son saw that the old man was dying, so he directly took away the old man's savings and locked him up here. This old man used to be kind to his adopted son! You see, there was not even a candle in there! He didn't give water or food, and he cried here every day, and sometimes we couldn't bear to take something in, and his adopted son would be scolded by his adopted son when he saw it!"

Mei Mu'an clenched his fists when he heard this, he didn't expect his nephew to be so bleak at night.

"By the way, we heard that it was their old Mei family, and it was this old man's grandfather who seemed to have done something bad, robbed his brother's property or something!

Mei Mu'an sighed in his heart, his uncle is not good, and his cousin is no longer there, this person is his nephew.

Today, he is standing here with a twenty-year-old face, and he, as the last male of the Mei family, is even more miserable than a ghost.

"And where does his adopted son live now?"

"That's an unfilial thing! I live in the town and marry a powerful daughter-in-law! I can't give birth to an egg for several years, and I quarrel every day!"

The sound of shouting hunger in the house became more and more desolate, Mei Mu'an took a deep breath and stepped forward, about to pick up the bricks on the ground and slam the door, but was stopped by Lin Changan.

"There was no lock on the door outside, there was a line on the ground. It seems that the adopted son was afraid that the old man would die inside, and people said that the adopted son was unfilial and locked him in it and starved to death. He was very smart and found a way to lock it from the inside, and when the time came, he would be able to say that it was his own negligence that caused the old man to die of illness. ”

Lin Changan stared coldly at the line pulled out from under the door, it seemed that the old man inside was so delirious that he couldn't open the door anymore.

"That ......"

"You want to open the door, do you?"

Mei Mu'an nodded, Lin Changan took the brick from her hand, pinpointed the place where there was already some crack on the wooden door, smashed a board, clenched his fist, and reached in from the cracked door, and tinkered for a while before opening the door.

There was a rancid smell mixed with feces and urine from inside, Lin Changan frowned and pulled Mei Muan away a little, and when the smell dispersed a little, he turned on the flashlight in his mobile phone to light it up first to see the situation inside.

"It's okay! You're following me!"

Lin Changan raised the phone and tried his best to see it clearly. Mei Mu'an couldn't bear the smell and forced the thought of vomiting.

The contrast between the dark hut and the red sky outside is the most ironic contrast, and the old man who should be living at this age is locked up here like a prisoner, waiting for the end of his life.

Lin Changan leaned sideways to protect Mei Mu'an, and walked in front by himself, the room was very dark, and it was not until he walked inside that he found the old man nested under the window.

He was dressed in rags, but he was still wearing a padded jacket in the summer. His hair was so long that he couldn't see his face clearly, and he saw someone come in with a lamp, huddled tightly by the wall, and made a sound that bordered on wailing.

Lin Changan looked around, this room was very small, more like an adobe utility room. Hayy takes up a large part of the space, and in the other corner there is a bucket that smells like a convenient bucket.

"You ......"

Lin Changan wanted to open his mouth to ask if Mei Mu'an was really a relative, but after thinking about it, this old man has become like this now, since he has come in, how can he sit idly by.

"Don't hit me! I'm hungry! Don't hit me......!"

The old man covered his face with his hands like dead wood, Lin Changan didn't look back at Mei Mu'an's expression, but he heard her rapid breathing in this extremely small room.

"Brute! Raising him so big in vain to torture the old man like this!"

Mei Mu'an's tone was extremely fast, which Lin Changan had never heard.

"So, everyone in this world has their own sufferings! What are you going to do?"

Mei Mu'an didn't answer, Lin Changan glanced back at her, and already had the answer in his heart.

"Old man, we're not bad people! We're going to take you to dinner! Shall we go to dinner?"

"Eat...... Eat?"

"Yes, we're good people, we're taking you to dinner, aren't you hungry, can you still stand up?"

Lin Changan's tone was gentle, and the old man seemed to relax a little and put down his hand covering his face a little.

"Are you really taking me to eat...... Eat?"

"Yes!"

Lin Changan, with the acumen of a doctor, stared at the old man's deformed legs and judged that it might be rheumatism.

It seemed that the old man couldn't stand up, Lin Changan handed the mobile phone in his hand to Mei Mu'an, and wanted to go over to see the old man's situation.

"Who are you, where are you going to take my old man!"
