Du Shanni and Xuan Ming were stunned when they heard this. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Internet celebrity pouted and said, "I can't do it." ”
"Why ......," the old lady puzzled.
"Because Deng Xue no longer works in the county hospital, let's change the delivery address. ”
"Not anymore?" said the old lady in surprise.
Xuan Ming asked her, "When did you leave?"
"Last Month......
"That's it, she had already resigned from the county hospital the other day. If you think about it, where would she be at one o'clock in the evening?"
"This ...... I do not know. ”
"Isn't she your daughter-in-law?
"No, she's busy with work and never comes home. Please don't send it to my son's house, I'm afraid my son and granddaughter will see it. The old lady shook her head.
"Never go home?" Xuan Ming raised her eyebrows, squatted down and looked at the old lady's eyes and said, "You're still conscious." Old woman, are you sure Deng Xue is your daughter-in-law?"
The old lady kneeling on the ground nodded vigorously.
"When did she marry your son, and where did she hold the feast?" do you remember?"
"I ...... My son said that they only got a marriage certificate because they wanted to be frugal. ”
"And is your granddaughter her own, and when was she born?"
"She gave birth to my granddaughter, who is eight years old. ”
"Eight years old?" Xuan Ming laughed when she heard this, "Old woman, are you stupid? Deng Xue is only twenty-three this year, and he was only fifteen eight years ago, what about your son? Don't tell me that he seduced an underage girl." ”
"Fifteen, but my son is Chinese New Year's Eve today......" The old lady was dumbfounded, obviously not understanding why this was happening.
Xuan Ming fiddled with her phone, and then pointed to the old lady, "Is Deng Xue you talking about her?"
The old lady looked at the photos on her phone and nodded, "That's right, she is my daughter-in-law." ”
Xuan Ming laughed again, "Nuo, look at it, she is twenty-three this year, and she only came to Jinqiu County with her father after graduating from college, and she has been living in the capital before, did your son go to the capital eight years ago?"
"I don't know. The old lady shook her head: "My son only brought me from the countryside to the city for medical treatment last year, and then I knew that I had a daughter-in-law and a granddaughter." ”
"There's definitely a story in there. Xuan Ming stood up and sneered, "Deng Xue is unlikely to be your daughter-in-law." But if you still want to give her the picture, think about where she'll go at night. ”
"No...... She's my daughter-in-law, and she and my son are talking to me about it! My granddaughter is calling her mom! It's her, she's the one who hurt me!" the old lady shook her head desperately, her expression getting darker and darker.
"Alright. If you want to send her a photo at night, don't care about the delivery address, if you agree, put a fingerprint on it. Du Shanni lost her patience and threw the brown paper bag directly in front of the old lady.
"She's hurt me, hurt my son and granddaughter, I want her to be at peace!" the old lady raised her slap and pressed it the brown paper bag.
"Let's get out if there's nothing else to do. Du Shanni sent off the guest coldly, and the old lady in black kowtowed to the second daughter again, got up and left.
Du Shanni picked up her phone again and dialed a number.
"Miss Du, what are your orders?" came the sneer of the show host on the phone.
"Lord host, give me Deng Xue's current residential address. Du Shanni squeezed out a smile.
"This ...... Okay, please make a note of ......" Zhu Xiao hesitated slightly, and then violated the rules and leaked the private information of the female guest.
"Thank you. Du Shanni hung up the phone, looked at the time, and said as if to herself: "It's a little far, you have to leave early." ”
"You're going to send it over tonight?" Xuan Ming picked up the brown paper bag on the ground and handed it to the shopkeeper.
"Well, there aren't many customers tonight, and it's idle to be idle. After Du Shanni took the paper bag and wrote down the address, she set off without even locking the door of the store, and Xuan Ming followed closely behind her.
The two of them first came to the "Cai'an Paper Money Store" next door, and a man in his thirties wearing a long shirt was sitting at the counter. When the man saw the comer, he was surprised and asked, "Boss Du, are you going to go out to deliver goods now?"
Du Shanni nodded and said, "Boss Bai, where are the photos?"
"Oh, here, I was going to send it to you as usual, when it was almost dawn. Boss Bai bent down and took out a few photos from the counter, which were the old lady's, and I don't know when Du Shanni sent them to him to print them.
Duzanne took the photo and stuffed it into a brown paper bag and turned to leave.
She walked out of the alley, glanced at the bus stop, and said to Xuan Ming: "The last train is gone, you can send me over." ”
"Okay. Xuan Ming agreed, and then bent down to lift the Internet celebrity's face.
"Then where does Deng Xue live?"
"The eastern outskirts of the city. ”
Xuan Ming nodded, said hello to Aunt Meng at the mouth of the alley, and then ran up.
As soon as Du Shanni's eyes flickered, the light of the road lights and street lamps flashed like thin lines, and from time to time she would draw a huge arc up and down. When the lights gradually faded and dimmed, Xuan Ming stopped steadily: "It's here." ”
Du Shanni jumped off her back, looked at the messy self-built houses around her, and looked at the addresses on the brown paper bags, and looked in a direction.
When the time was almost one o'clock in the middle of the night, the second daughter came to the receiving place...... A row of modest bungalow rentals. They walked to a room where the lights were still on, and Duzanne knocked on them.
"Who?" said Deng Xue's voice from inside the room, followed by a rapid cough.
"Single Sunshine Photography Gallery. Du Shanni said lightly.
"Huh?" Deng Xue opened the door and couldn't help but be stunned after seeing the No. 13 Internet celebrity face and the "queen" that night: "What are you doing here?"
"Here's a picture for you. Duzanne handed out the brown paper bag, squinted at the rows of medicine bottles on the table in the room, and frowned slightly.
"Don't worry, I can't die!" Deng Xue said with a smile after seeing her eyes, "I knew that you opened a photo studio, but I didn't expect someone to ask you to send me photos, or ...... in the middle of the night."
"Aunt Jiang's photo?" Deng Xue looked at the photo of the old lady in the brown paper bag, looked up and asked, "Did Mr. Jiang let you send it?"
"It's not. Du Shanni didn't wait for Deng Xue to continue to ask before leaving: "The goods have been delivered, goodbye." ”
"Wait. Deng Xue smiled: "I don't ask, since you have come all the way, you have to come in and drink saliva." ”
"No need to ......"
"Hehe, don't you dislike my little grass nest now?"
Du Shanni turned to look at the smiling Goddess No. 1 and pouted, "Something?"
"Well, there is. Deng Xue smiled and pulled the No. 13 Internet celebrity face into the room, and when she wanted to invite the "queen" again, Xuan Ming waved her hand coldly.
Deng Xue's "little grass nest" is indeed a bit shabby, and there is only room for a writing desk and a bed in the small rental room. After pressing Du Shanni on the bed and sitting down, Deng Xue poured her a glass of water and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I don't have an infectious disease." ”
Du Shanni shook her head and said, "If you have something, just say it." ”
Deng Xue smiled bitterly, then sat on the edge of the bed, looked at the wall covered with messy posters and said, "There are so many things that I don't know where to start." ”
After a while, she picked up the brown paper bag and said, "Let's start with Aunt Jiang." ”
"I met his son, Mr. Jiang, in the hospital more than a year ago. I don't know where Mr. Jiang heard the news that I was kind-hearted and treated patients like relatives, so he came to me and begged me to do something for him. ”
"He said that his seriously ill mother didn't have many days left, and hoped that I could pretend to be the ex-wife who had left him, and perform a happy family with him and his daughter in front of the old man, just to make the old man feel at ease. ”
Deng Xue smiled sweetly, "His daughter is very cute and smart, and before I agreed, she called my mother with red eyes. Hehe, the rumors in the hospital about my private life disorderly should have started at that time. ”
"Although Aunt Jiang was very happy to see me, her condition did not improve. About two months ago, Mr. Jiang asked me to do something else. ”
Saying this, Deng Xue's expression became sad: "Euthanasia." Hehe, this is not allowed in us, but Mr. Jiang cried and told me that he really didn't want to see his mother tortured by illness anymore, and their family property was almost spent because of medical expenses. ”
"I refused at the time, but Mr. Jiang begged me again and again, and at that time, Guanggongzi also began to chase me for the development project of Guangshi Group. Alas, I stupidly believed that it was love at first sight, and stupidly thought that Guanghui was biased against me because of the rumors in the hospital, so I ......"
Deng Xue turned her head to look at the Internet celebrity's face and said with a wry smile: "They scolded me for being a scorpion beauty, it seems right." ”
Instead of answering, she grabbed her glass and took a sip of water.
"Thank you. Deng Xue nodded and continued: "I know you are not an ordinary person, I listen to my father...... No, it was Deputy County Magistrate Deng who inadvertently mentioned that you have a deep background, so I guess you don't care about what I did. Thank you, this matter has been holding my heart for a long time, and I am much better to be able to say it. Ahem......"
Deng Xue coughed again, took a sip of the water cup handed by Du Shanni, and smiled: "To be honest, after experiencing Guang's affairs, what makes me most uncomfortable is not the loss of love, identity, and work, but even when Mr. Jiang saw me again, I didn't think it was anything with that estranged expression. ”
"I am uncomfortable that I once killed an innocent life with my own hands, but I don't know right or wrong, and I have no one to confide in......"
"What the hell are you looking for me?" interrupted Duzanne and said lightly.
"I'm sorry for pouring so much bitter water on you. Deng Xue smiled, then looked at the eyes of the Internet celebrity face and asked, "I want to ask you, will there be dead people on that blind date show in the future?"
"Yes. Duzanne said.
"Death in every issue?"
"Yes. ”
"How many die?"
"I don't know. ”
"Who's going to die next?"
"I don't know. ”
"Am I going to die?"
"I don't know. ”
Deng Xue was silent for a while, then nodded: "It seems that you can only predict who will die at most." ”
"Aren't you surprised by that?" Duzanie raised an eyebrow.
"Nope. Deng Xue smiled brightly, "If it is my turn to die one day, what price will I have to pay to let you notify me in advance?"
"You can't escape. ”
"Perhaps, it doesn't matter. ”
"......" Du Shanni looked at Deng Xue's firm eyes, then looked at the water glass on the side, and said in a low voice: "No cost, I will tell you." ”
"Thank you. ”
"If you don't participate in the show, you won't ......"
"I'm going to keep going on the show, I said, I'm going to get everything back on that stage. ”
"Then why do you want to know in advance?"
Deng Xue stroked her hair and smiled: "Of course, I want to die to look better." ”
