I sat in the car and thought about it for a long time, and gradually fell asleep, and when I woke up again, the car had already arrived at the county seat, and it was also snowing here, and the weather was very cold.

In winter, it was still dark at six o'clock, there were not many cars on the road, and F was still open not far from the station, so I went in and sat down, ordered a hot drink and fried chicken, and filled my stomach.

I sent a text message to Xu Jiao and asked her if she had arrived, and it didn't take long for Xu Jiao to reply to me, saying that she had arrived, she was a little tired, and she wanted to rest first, I put away my phone, looked out the window, and waited until seven o'clock before leaving.

I wanted to call Zhou Pengfei directly, but it was still early to see the time, so I thought about it and got on the bus back.

However, I did not go directly to Uncle Lin's house, but went back to my hometown, the place that once left a psychological shadow on me, where I saw my mother being beaten on the head by my father and bleeding, and I also saw my father being taken away by the police, and my mother came to pick me up and go to Uncle Lin's house.

There are many, many of them, and the keys have been with me since I left there, and I have always had them with me.

When I came to the familiar but unfamiliar community, the walls were no longer the light white of the previous years, but had become a lot of vicissitudes with the wind and sun, and the yellow-black stains were everywhere, and even a few places had cracked and become dangerous buildings.

I walked in, the doorman had changed, everything was a new face, and even if I met two acquaintances by chance, they wouldn't recognize me at all. When I walked to my door, the walls were plastered with bills to collect the property's utility bills, and even the top of the door was a mess, and even the bills were yellowed after a long time.

Click......

I inserted the key into the lock hole, with a slight sound, the door slowly opened, a musty smell came to my face, I couldn't help coughing twice, it was obviously a long time no one lived here, I walked in, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

It was obviously uninhabitable, and I couldn't help but shake my head and wander around the house in a daze before leaving.

As soon as I walked out of the community, my mobile phone rang, and it was Zhou Pengfei calling.

"Grass, Yang Zhi, where have you been? When it comes, I'll pick you up. Zhou Pengfei shouted on the phone.

"Just arrived, you don't need to pick me up, I still have something to do, you tell me a time and place, I'll go over then."

"That's okay, it's not bad for you to go and see Lin Shishi first, otherwise, let's go out for a drink in the evening, I'll book a seat later, and send you a text message at the time and place."

After saying that, I hung up the phone, stopped a car and went directly to Lin's house.

When I got downstairs, my mood became more complicated, I was even more timid about my hometown, I didn't dare to ask the mood of the person who came, and I had the idea of leaving, but at this time, a familiar voice came from behind me, "Xiaozhi? ”

I chuckled in my heart, turned around, and saw my mother standing not far away with vegetables, her eyes full of disbelief, "Xiaozhi, why did you come back suddenly, why didn't you say hello." ”

My mother's complexion is much better than before, and she is no longer so haggard, but it just makes me feel more strange.

"Okay, okay, don't stand stupidly, it's cold outside, let's go up first." Seeing that I didn't speak, my mother urged me and pushed me, and I woke up like a dream, smiled, called Mom, and followed me upstairs.

"Xiao Zhi, you sit first." My mom pointed to the couch and turned to go into the kitchen.

"Who's coming?" Hearing the movement here, Uncle Lin's voice came from the room, "Is Shishi back?" ”

With the slight sound of footsteps, the door was opened, and Uncle Lin was dressed in a warm room. Yi walked out, and when he saw me, he was stunned for a moment, "It's you." ”

"Uncle Lin." Although I don't like Uncle Lin very much, I haven't seen it for more than two years, and that disgust seems to have faded a little.

"Hmm." Uncle Lin nodded, didn't say much, and returned to the room.

After a while, my mother came out with a cup of tea, which seemed a little raw, I took a sip and raised my head, "Mom, Shishi is not at home." ”

Hearing this, my mother paused for a moment, her expression was slightly unnatural, "Yes, Shishi went out to play with her friends." ”

I sighed, started drinking tea again, and couldn't help but glance at Lin Shishi's room twice, feeling a little lost in my heart.

I did it at Uncle Lin's house for a while, and then we had a meal together at noon, and although the atmosphere was not very harmonious, it was not too bad, and my mother and Uncle Lin did not ask me about my situation in Sioux City.

Until the afternoon, Lin Shishi didn't come back, and not long after, Zhou Pengfei also sent me a text message to tell me where to have dinner tonight.

I saw that the time was almost up, so I left the Lin family, Zhou Pengfei's location was actually the hotel where I used to have dinner when I graduated, when I arrived there, Zhou Pengfei had already arrived, and he was standing in the hall as obediently as a child who made a mistake, and Zhang Yu was standing next to him, seeing me coming, Zhou Pengfei showed joy on his face, waved his hand at me, rushed over and hugged me, and whispered, "Xiaozhi, you finally came to the rescue, if you don't come, I will die." ”

"Damn, as for me." I can't help but laugh, Zhou Pengfei was not afraid of heaven and earth before, but now when he meets Zhang Yu, he is instigated into a horse.

"Zhou Pengfei, I can warn you, if you get drunk tonight, climb back by yourself." Zhang Yu snorted, Zhou Pengfei suddenly smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly coaxed.

"Hmph, once today, I won't take it as an example." Zhang Yu snorted and finally let Zhou Pengfei go.

When Zhang Yu went in, Zhou Pengfei took out a pack of cigarettes, lit one with me outside, and said quietly: "I said why are you alone, why didn't Shishi come with you?" ”

Listening to Zhou Pengfei's words, I was stunned for a moment, and said blankly: "Poetry? I heard my mom say that she was hanging out with her friends, so why did she come with me. ”

"Huh?" Zhou Pengfei looked at me in astonishment, his eyes full of thought.

"What's wrong, is there a problem?" I felt something was wrong and asked.

Zhou Pengfei shook his head, "No, hey, Shishi is here." ”

As he spoke, Zhou Pengfei pinched out the cigarette butt and pointed to the direction of the stairs, and sure enough, Lin Shishi's pretty figure appeared in our sight, with a light pink woolen coat on her upper body, a fluffy white neckline, and two fist-sized white balls hanging from her face, making her already beautiful face more playful and cute.

I looked at this figure in a daze, and I couldn't help but feel a trance in front of me, and a complex emotion poured out from the bottom of my heart.

Lin Shishi obviously saw me as well, and her footsteps paused slowly.
