I don't know if it's because of the strength of the wine, the two middle-aged men told Lin Yu a lot about the old man's house, and by the time Lin Yu came out of the tavern, it was already very late.

Walking in the quiet alley, Lin Yu was silent all the way, and only his light footsteps could be heard around. Now he knows the identity of the old man, who used to be the editor of a local newspaper, and her husband is the leader of the newspaper, and the two met when they were working.

Because of the considerable wages received at an early age, the living conditions of the elderly were very good in the neighborhood, they were the first families to install a landline telephone, and they also had an Oriental brand camera that everyone envied.

However, this good life did not last forever, the old man's husband and son died one after another, and the newspaper also announced its closure when the old man's life was at a low point because of its declining sales. Nearby residents noticed that the old man seemed to have turned white overnight, and she became less likely to go out, and finally only kept company with the flower cat she raised.

No wonder the old man knows the words on the subway, and he can still play with the old-fashioned camera very slippery, Lin Yu smiled bitterly on his face, Grandma Sun is really different from the average old man, she has a very glorious past, and she has also enjoyed the warm and sweet family happiness of a family of three, but in her old age, the ending is not very satisfying.

Lin Yu once heard that human beings have the ability to selectively lose memory, if a certain memory is too painful, out of the body's self-protection mechanism, the brain will selectively erase this memory, and for the person concerned, the painful memory is as if it never happened.

Because his son promised 10 years ago that he would return home during the Chinese New Year this year, but the old man waited for 10 years and still did not wait for her son to come back.

The man in the soul state had been following behind Lin Yu, and he was always cautious, not daring to make a sound, for fear of attracting the attention of Lord Death. Because after listening to the conversation in the tavern, the man found that his sin had deepened again, and he would never have thought that the object of his fraud was a person who had lost his son, the old man not only had no children under his knees, but now he had no pension money, and the man was afraid that death would push him into hell.

The man remembered the first time he called and called the old man's mother, the old man's tone was hard to hide his surprise, and she replied without doubt, "Son, where are you now?"

Thinking back to this scene now, the man felt very worried, what kind of mood did the old man have when he heard his own call, thinking that his son who had been waiting for ten years had finally appeared?

Later, the man will urge the old man to withdraw the money as soon as possible, although the old man agrees unambiguously verbally, but he will always talk about it on the phone, and even talk about some topics that will only be talked about between relatives, such as whether it is okay to go home for the New Year.

At that time, the man felt that this old lady's brain must be funny, even if she really regarded herself as her son, and now she is still in the hands of the kidnappers, is it appropriate to say anything about going home for the New Year. But the man still maintained a certain professionalism, since he chose to be a fraudster to cheat to the end, the man painted a good picture for the old lady, he told the other party on the phone that his leave had already been taken, and he would definitely go back to accompany her for Chinese New Year's Eve this year.

After that, the old lady called the man many times, and the man would answer every call at first, because he knew that this was a big fish that was about to be hooked, but then he gradually found out that what the old man said on the phone were some trivial things, and the man even thought that he had met a master who was not very mentally normal.

So every time the old man made three calls, the man would selectively answer once, perhaps because the old man found out that he did it intentionally, and in the later calls, the old man began to be involved in withdrawing money. For example, if she couldn't find her bank passbook, or forgot the password of one of the large deposit receipts, she asked the man on the phone what she should do.

The man had to start answering every call from the old man again, because he had to tell the old man how to report the loss in the bank, or how to reset the password with his ID card, all of which were related to whether he could get the 300,000 yuan.

After going through some hardships and dangers, which lasted for a week, the old man finally took out all the 300,000 yuan, and now in retrospect, the man suddenly had a feeling in his heart, did the old man deliberately find various reasons to call him, because she just wanted to listen to her son's voice more?

The old man used to be the editor of a newspaper, and he could read and play with an old-fashioned camera, so he didn't even need to be taught to withdraw money, right? The more the man thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he even thought that the old man might have known that he was a fraudster from the beginning, but why did he willingly hand over the 300,000 yuan?

......

Back in the cabin, the old man's room was still closed, and he should have fallen asleep by now. The cat is very energetic, it walks around the hall with its tail cocked, as if it is constantly patrolling and guarding its own territory, and if it hears a noise somewhere, the flower cat will lurk on the ground and rush out at the right time.

Lin Yu walked into his room, he was lying on the antique wooden bed, and found that his original plan could no longer continue. Lin Yu has always believed that as long as he helps the old man find his son, the man's scam will be solved, and the old man's future life will be guaranteed. But now this possibility no longer exists, and there will be no third person in the old man's life to change, and she will have to live alone in the future.

Since this is the case, she can only let the old man recognize the reality, she must plan for her future life, and it is impossible for her to live with her all the time here, Lin Yu secretly made a decision in his heart.

This night, Lin Yu tossed and turned, I don't know if it was because he learned of the death of the old man's son, or because he could always hear the sound of a man howling from a distance...

The next morning, Lin Yu bought a large number of breakfast from the breakfast shop outside, and he felt that the old man needed a healthier body to withstand the second blow. The old man ate several xiaolongbao at the table and drank a whole bowl of preserved egg and lean porridge, and she seemed to be in good spirits, so she took out the old-fashioned camera early, because today was the day to shoot the 50th anniversary of the school.
