It was an extremely ordinary spring morning.

Xie Lu and I both received a call from the police station, and it was said that Qiao Li had been detained for serious injuries caused by a fight.

The police could not reach his family and relatives, so they immediately informed us through a recent phone call.

We were unable to visit him until the verdict was handed down, and we were able to indirectly learn about the situation by retaining a lawyer.

The specifics, as outsiders, can only be known through the news editor's reporting articles.

It happened in the early hours of the morning, when Qiao Li's girlfriend was forcibly harassed by a black man on her way home from the night shift.

Due to the cultural differences, the black values of asking for kisses and asking for contact information do not seem to be deviant behavior, so he is somewhat unscrupulous.

But this scene happened to be bumped into by Qiao Li, who came to pick up his girlfriend and wanted to create a surprise.

Without saying a word, Qiao Li beat up the black man indiscriminately, and when the black man reacted, he fought back.

Seeing this, his girlfriend hurriedly stepped forward to block it, but was knocked unconscious by a black man's punch.

Qiao Li was completely enraged, and used all his strength to fight with the black man, and finally beat the black man to a serious injury and fainted to the ground.

The melon-eating crowd on the side of the road called the police in time, and Qiao Li was detained for this.

The punch the girl received was not small, and she was also sent to the hospital for rescue, and the situation is unknown so far.

Later, we finally found out her contact information through the hospital where she worked, and the phone caller was a middle-aged woman, and after explaining her intentions, she expressed her willingness to accept our visit.

After meeting, we were all surprised.

She is none other than Uncle Zhen's girlfriend, the aunt who is called Xiao Yun by Uncle Zhen.

She had no idea that she would see me in this strange city.

Given the relationship between us, it was so embarrassing that we couldn't say anything, so our conversation almost exclusively revolved around the injured girl, and no one mentioned a word about Uncle Zhen.

"I was her mother's older sister, and her other relatives had passed away one after another, and the police only found me, so I was 'lucky' to be chosen to be the one to take care of her. She introduced herself.

"How's she doing?"

"I was hurt in the head, and I haven't woken up yet. ”

"Is it so serious?!, did the doctor say when she'll wake up?"

"It's not a big problem, she will wake up sooner or later, but she just hasn't woken up yet, alas, I hope she will wake up soon, I'm so liberated. ”

"Okay, we'll come back in a few days. ”

Three days later, on the weekend, I was curious to see if the girl had woken up.

Although I have only met her a few times, her personality is very likable, and we don't want such a good girl to sleep forever.

When we came to the ward, Aunt Xiaoyun was not there, and the person guarding the girl turned out to be Xu Hui.

When he saw me, his face was so pale that his eyes wandered, and he didn't even dare to look at me.

If it was on the road, it is estimated that he would have fled a long time ago.

However, this is the hospital, and he has nowhere to run.

"You...... How do you ......?"

He was stunned for about ten seconds, and finally shuddered and spit out a few words.

"Let's come to see Qiao Li's girlfriend, who are you and her?" Xie Lu replied for me when he saw that my expression was wrong.

"Oh, Jolly, I have an impression, you colleagues. He tried to think about it, but he probably couldn't remember what kind of existence Qiao Li was when he only had a meal.

"Look, I'm going out for a cigarette first. "Smoking? That's the worst excuse he's ever used to run away from me.

Seeing that he had already walked to the door, I hurriedly asked:

"Wait, why are you here?"

"She's my cousin. With that, he went out the door.

Well, there are so many relatives.

The girl still hadn't woken up, and her palms were dripping, so pale that it was distressing.

After about ten minutes, Aunt Xiaoyun came back from packing rice, she didn't know that we were inside, and as soon as she arrived at the door, she kept calling "son, son", until she saw me and Xie Lu, and then quieted down.

The world is so small, Xiao Yun's son is Xu Hui.

When I think about their relationship with Uncle Zhen, it's really ridiculous.

Once born, second ripe, Aunt Xiaoyun actually took the initiative to chat with me.

"Alas, I see that this niece can't wake up for ten days and a half months. ”

"What did the doctor say?"

"All the tests are normal, just wait for her to wake up. I was alone before, and I was lonely and died in this hospital, but now my son is here. ”

"It's much easier for two people than for one. "My heart is very messy, my mouth is coping, but my mind is not on her line.

"But it's also expensive to take turns in a hotel, and I want to rent a bachelor apartment nearby, do you have any recommendations?"

"Yes, we live in that neighborhood a lot. "Xie Lu is very positive, and I can't wait to take her to live in our house.

"That's good, I'll come with you later, and rent a house by the way. ”

When I walked out of the hospital, I realized that Xu Hui really came out to smoke.

He squatted on the ground, puffing out smoke rings in boredom, completely abandoning the handsome and sunny image, judging the two of them.

Xiao Yun seemed to have not seen her son for hundreds of years, and said with extreme enthusiasm: "Son, I have already packed lunch and put it on the table, go in and eat it while it's hot! I'll go rent a house with your cousin's friend and come back in the evening." If you're hungry, don't wait for me to eat. ”

"Just stay in a nearby hotel, don't have to be so troublesome. Xu Hui stood up and patted the cigarette ash on his body, but he never dared to look at me.

"The hotel is too expensive, it's not troublesome, I'll go back as soon as I go. ”

"Where is it expensive?!It's convenient, don't be so economical! Don't go far, it's inconvenient to go back and forth!"

"I still have to pay for your cousin's medical expenses! ”

“……”

She didn't wait for her son to refuse, and then took my arm and left.

I can't help but think back to the first time I met her.

At that time, she wore heavy makeup, and although she spoke a little harshly, she was still enthusiastic about life and Uncle Zhen.

Now she actually put her arm around me, like an aunt next door.

I looked at the side of her face, pure makeup, not even the barrier cream, crow's feet directly exposed to the lazy afternoon sun.

The woman is the one who pleases herself, and it seems that Uncle Zhen's death has hit her hard.

But she still didn't say a word about him, as if she pretended not to know that I was his former apprentice.

Either way, we all covered each other's wounds tightly and got to know each other again like strangers.

As Xie Lu said, the community where we are located is indeed fully stocked.

My aunt quickly rented one upstairs for us, and she smiled happily and thanked Xie Lu: "We will be neighbors from now on." ”
