Xiaohui slowly walked out of the bedroom and into the bathroom. I thought to myself, fortunately I wore a black T-sleeve, which was not very conspicuous, and I might not be able to wear a white one. In addition, Xiaohui was half-open and sleepy-eyed, so she didn't pay much attention to me. Hurriedly out of the bedroom, Mr. Zhu and his wife sat on the bed and whispered to me: "It's okay, she went to the toilet, and it will take 20 minutes to come out." "Thinking of what Zhu's wife said just now, I casually asked your daughter every time she goes to the toilet for so long, even if she is on the tuba, it doesn't take so long, and it's not a bath.

"It's just the middle of the night," Mr. Zhu said, "she usually goes to the toilet for three minutes at most, and she only takes about 20 minutes to take a shower, but it takes 20 minutes to go to the toilet in the middle of the night." I don't know what the reason is, it may be that I am a little constipated at night, so it is inconvenient to ask. Zhu's wife said that she had asked before, but Xiaohui said that she didn't know, and she couldn't remember going out to the toilet in the middle of the night, it seemed that it all happened in a daze.

I suddenly became a little suspicious, maybe I have been a card dealer for a long time, and I will be suspicious of any special thing. So I tiptoed to the door of the toilet, this is an old house, the decoration is also very poor, the bedroom and bathroom, the kitchen door is still twenty or thirty years ago when the old house was delivered when the wooden door, although not beautiful but very strong, but the time is too long, the door has been a little deformed, the bathroom door gap is relatively large. Trying to put his ear against the crack in the door, he seemed to hear someone whispering inside. I walked back to the living room and whispered to them that Xiaohui was playing on her phone inside.

Mr. Zhu and his wife looked at each other, and Zhu's wife said, "No wonder! Could it be that she is in early love?"

"I told you not to give her a mobile phone, but you didn't listen," Mr. Zhu complained, "It's good now, I said that she has to go to the toilet for 20 minutes in the middle of the night, and she can't be constipated for several years, right?"

My heart moved, and I asked them about when Xiaohui's situation began. Mr. Zhu thought about it and said that it had been a few years, and he used to think that it was his daughter's living habits, so he didn't think much about it, and it was all in the middle of the night, and he didn't want to care. I asked, "When did she start having a cell phone?"

Zhu's wife said: "When I started in the third grade of primary school, the school was close to home, and there were neighbors and friends who walked together, so we stopped picking her up and dropping her off, in order to cultivate her independence. But just in case, I gave her a cheap Nokia mobile phone, which has only been changed once in the past four or five years, or my husband eliminated it, it is not a good mobile phone, and there are no games in it. I nodded, walked into the bedroom to turn on the light to check, Zhu's wife also followed, and suddenly saw a mobile phone on the desk, she quickly picked it up, and said strangely that this is not Xiaohui's mobile phone, and I didn't take it to the toilet. Mr. Zhu went into the bedroom to look and said yes, what did she use to make the phone in the toilet.

Seeing this, I hurriedly asked them to turn off the bedroom light, and came to the bathroom door again, pricking up their ears to eavesdrop on the movement. There was a faint voice from inside, it was Xiaohui's voice, but it was not clear what she was talking about. I looked at my watch, it had been about ten minutes, and I was afraid that she would come out and bump into her, so I quietly walked back, waved my hand at them, and whispered that I would go back first and discuss it tomorrow.

The next day was Sunday, and while Xiaohui went to play with her neighbors, I came to Zhu's house again. The two of them were even more worried now, and asked, "Xiaohui is like this every night?"

"Almost," said Zhu's wife, "I haven't observed her before, but I often see her go to the toilet in the middle of the night and come back twenty minutes later." "I thought to myself, 12 o'clock in the middle of the night is when people are sleeping soundly, who can go out of their way to observe which family member does not go to the toilet in the middle of the night and how long.

I asked, "Could it be that she is memorizing something?" Mr. and Mrs. Zhu laughed, and I laughed too, this kind of guess is really enough, which student gets up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet and memorizes the problem in the bathroom for 20 minutes? But it is also possible that he is sleepwalking. So I proposed, find a mobile phone with a recording function, start at half past eleven tonight, secretly put it somewhere in the bathroom, turn on the recording function, and listen to what Xiaohui is talking about.

Mr. Zhu and the two nodded again and again, and Zhu's wife said that she would use her mobile phone, which has a recording function, and the battery is very resistant. I shook my head after looking at her phone model and said no, this is not a smart phone, there is no memory card, the capacity of the mobile phone is quite limited, and I can't record dozens of minutes at all, so I still use mine. I said again: "You husband and wife are really, my daughter has been talking to herself in the toilet at night for several years, and she didn't even notice it when she was a parent?" Mr. Zhu made a bitter face and said that the two previous houses of their family were three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and the daughter had her own separate bathroom. I thought to myself, if it weren't for the fact that their family has become poor after losing money, and they are living in this old and dilapidated single room, it would be really hard to find out.

The next day, just to be on the safe side, I bought a large-capacity memory card at a nearby mobile phone store to replace the original one. I came back on time at ten o'clock in the evening, took out my HTC phone, turned it into airplane mode, turned on the recording function, and quietly put it in the bathroom. The sanitation of this old house is not decorated, and it is also very simple, looking for a long time, and finally I think the most suitable place is the soap tray above the sink. I hurriedly asked Mr. Zhu to find a piece of scotch tape and glue my phone under the bracket, which is very hidden, and if I don't deliberately bow my head, I can't see it.

Sneaking out of the bathroom, I asked Zhu's wife to enter the bedroom, turned off the light in the living room, and Mr. Zhu and I lay on the bed outside the living room, waiting quietly. Just after 12 o'clock, the bedroom door opened, Xiaohui slowly walked out, turned into the toilet and closed the door, and came out and returned to the bedroom after about 20 minutes. I hurriedly slipped in again, carefully peeled off the tape, and saved the recording clip of the phone.

"Hurry up and play it!" Mr. Zhu and his wife couldn't wait, I took out the headphones and connected them to the mobile phone, listened to them in my left ear, handed them to Mr. and Mrs. Zhu in the right ear, and started playing, the content is as follows.

"When are you leaving?"

"One more time. ”

"She was fourteen years old and was going to prison. ”

"I don't care. ”

"I'll wait for you. ”

"Less than three months, wait. ”

"Is it fun here?"

"It's good, she's in good health. ”

"That's fine, I'm a little reluctant. ”

"Me too. ”

"Do you like to eat tonight?"

"No, I used to hate eating onions. ”

"In the past two years, the food has been poor, and their family is poor. ”

"yes, so I don't like it either. ”

"Where are you going after you go?"

"I went back to my grandmother at the old place, and I asked her to mention it to her parents. ”

"Can they agree?"

"Absolutely, that's their daughter. ”

"I don't know where Grandma will send us next. ”

"Whatever, better than in a jar. ”
