Nanxi heard the sound from upstairs, and her whole body tensed.

It was this voice that yelled on the phone that day, and Lu Zaiyuan was so shocked that he dropped the phone, and he never appeared again.

On the way to Macau, Nanxi kept guessing about the relationship between the owner of this voice and Lu Zaiyuan.

Is it his lover? But the voice was hoarse and low, as if it was a little old.

Is it his family? Does he still have family? Why would his family be so fierce to him?

With apprehension, Nanxi walked upstairs step by step.

Such old-style houses are cramped and cramped, and the light is very dark. Of the three rooms on the second floor, only one room facing north has an open door.

Nanxi walked to the door and looked inside.

When I looked around, the room was empty, and I didn't find anyone.

She hesitated to step back and looked at the other two closed rooms, hesitating to knock on which door.

At this moment, a voice came from the open room: "Are you standing at the door and talking?" ”

Nanxi was startled, and when he looked into the house again, there was still no one.

Her heart was agitated, her scalp was fluttering, the back of her head was cold, and she asked in a panic, "Where are you?" ”

Then the big sofa chair placed in the window moved, stretched out a withered hand, spread its five fingers, and shook it.

Nanxi was scared again.

There is a big living person here, how can it feel so weird? In this dimly lit room, it seems that there is no human breath at all, and it is cool and ghostly.

Nanxi didn't expect that she would encounter such a situation, but since she came, of course she had to figure things out.

She clenched her fists, took a step forward, and entered the house: "Hello...... Who are you? ”

The hand retracted, and only one of the sofa chairs was left with its back facing Nanxi. Moreover, the woman did not speak for a long time, which gave Nanxi an illusion, as if what she had just seen was just an illusion, and there was really no one in this room.

Nanxi felt that there was a string in his heart that was too tight, and if he continued to stretch it, it would be broken.

So she stepped forward resolutely, ready to see the woman hidden in the sofa chair.

"Don't move! Don't come here! The hand reached out from the sofa chair again, stretched out his index finger, and resolutely stopped Nanxi from approaching, "You just stand there, don't come here!" ”

"You asked me to come up, but you didn't speak, who are you far away? Where is he now? Nanxi stopped and asked angrily.

The woman put her hand down, put it on the armrest of the sofa chair, sighed lowly, and said, "What is the relationship between me and Lu Zaiyuan, it's not your turn to question." I called you up to persuade you. Lu Zaiyuan married you purely to take advantage of you, he doesn't care about the marriage between you at all, and he doesn't care about you. No matter how obsessed you are, it's useless, he doesn't like you at all. Don't look for him in the future, your relationship is over! ”

"It's over?" Nanxi was angry and anxious, and sneered, "He wants to end, I won't pester him." But he should act like a man, explain it to me in person, and come out to talk to me about the divorce in person! ”

"Miss Nan, don't you know that there is a group of people in this world called lawyers? They exist to avoid awkward face-to-face encounters between parties whose relationship has broken down. You can go back with confidence, and soon, a lawyer will come to you to negotiate the divorce, and you don't have to come forward in person...... He won't see you! The woman replied categorically.

"How could anyone do such an irresponsible thing!" Nanxi was furious, "I don't believe it! I want to see the way away! I'm going to ask him face to face! ”

"Humph!" The woman snorted disdainfully, "Why do you want to ask in person?" Aren't you trying to pester him? He doesn't want you anymore! Why are you boring yourself? Wouldn't it be better to simply separate them neatly and never be related to each other? ”

"Impossible!" Nanxi waved his hand excitedly, "He lied to me, and he didn't even have a word of explanation and explanation, so he wanted to get rid of it easily?" There is nothing so cheap in the world! Where is he? You tell me! ”

The woman was a little impatient, patted the armrest, and said, "He's not here, and he won't see you." I've already said what he wants to say to you. There's no point in you pestering any longer, let's go back, and a lawyer will come to you. ”

"Who are you? Why do you speak on his behalf...... You can't be Xin Ping, right? Nanxi said suspiciously.

Unexpectedly, she just said the word "Xin Ping", and the sofa chair shook violently. Immediately afterwards, the woman "snapped" and struck the armrest, and her voice roared bitterly: "Ah Wen! Come up and get this woman away! ”

Nanxi broke into the door, neither saw the road in the distance, nor figured things out, how could she be willing?

The woman suddenly became angry, and Nanxi was even more suspicious that she was Xin Ping.

She knew what Xin Ping looked like when she was young, although more than 20 years have passed, and Xin Ping must be much older now, but the contours of her facial features will not change.

In any case, she wants to figure out the identity of this woman.

So she ignored the woman's wishes and suddenly rushed in the direction of the window.

She wants to see a woman's face clearly!

The woman heard her footsteps and shouted more and more sharply to the people downstairs. At the same time, a teacup suddenly flew out of the sofa chair, and the tea and water flew towards Nanxi.

Nan Xi tilted his head and dodged the attack of the teacup. But then, another book flew over and smashed at her.

This time she didn't dodge, and a thick book fell on her shoulder, smashing her shoulder, and it didn't stop her determination to see the woman.

"You stop! If you dare to take another step forward, I promise you will never see the road again for the rest of your life! The woman's voice was terrified, perhaps nothing was missing, her hands gripping the armrests of the couch tightly.

This sentence was very threatening, Nanxi was really shocked, stopped his steps, and was stunned for two seconds.

At this time, He Wenwen and the man had already rushed up.

Seeing that he was about to be expelled, it was estimated that it would be difficult to enter this house again in the future. She gritted her teeth and rushed to the window in two steps.

The sofa chair suddenly turned in a different direction at this time, still with the back of the chair facing her.

The more the woman dodges, the more Nanxi feels that there is something wrong with her.

She immediately followed the direction of the sofa chair and took another step.

This time, the woman didn't have time to turn the sofa chair, so she could only raise her hands and cover her face, while shouting: "Ah Wen! Ah Wen! ”

Nanxi saw her, she was wearing a navy blue fleece nightgown, and a large hood was worn on her head, covering the part above her forehead. She raised her hands again to cover her face, so that Nanxi couldn't see her facial features clearly.

But Nanxi saw her hand clearly.

One of her hands is slender and fair, although it is not as tight and tender as that of young people, but it is also a five-finger tip, and the hand shape is quite beautiful.

However, her other hand was like a chicken's paw, with five fingers curled up, badly deformed, and the skin was also uneven, which was a severe burn at a glance.

Nanxi was stunned.

He Wenwen and the man had already rushed to Nanxi's eyes at this time, dragging her arm and rudely pulling her out: "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!" If you make trouble like this again, I'll send you directly to the police station! ”

Nanxi was shocked by the burned hand, and suddenly understood why the woman was so afraid of her seeing.

She realized that she was a little rude, so she didn't struggle, and was obediently pulled out by He Wenwen.

Arriving at the door, she glanced back.

The woman's hands were still covering her face, and a thin blanket was on her knees, which slipped to the ground. She wanted to bend down to pick up the blanket, but found that Nanxi was still looking at her, and she didn't dare to put down her hand, so she hurriedly turned the sofa chair in one direction, facing the window with her back to the door.

She was panicked to hide her embarrassment, but at that moment, Nanxi saw the lower half of her body hidden under the blanket just now.

No wonder the woman has been sitting on the sofa chair, even if she is approached by Nanxi, she does not get up and run away.

It turned out that her left leg was mutilated! Empty below the calf!

Nanxi was shocked again, and her brain suddenly became chaotic!

By the time she had recovered from her shock, she had been pushed out of the door. He Wenwen cursed her as she gestured to close the door.

Nan Xi leaned against the door and eagerly asked Lian Wenwen: "Aunt Lian, is that Xin Ping just now?" Where is the road? Excuse me! ”

"You want to be shameless! It's not over yet, is it? If you don't roll again, don't blame me for being rude! He Wenwen scolded while grabbing Nanxi's shoulder, pushed it outward, and then closed the green painted iron door, and "Kala" on the deadbolt!

Nanxi was pushed back a few steps, crashed into a passerby, and stopped.

Passers-by were trampled on and scolded her.

She was stunned, and she didn't care about apologizing to others, she just stared at the green painted iron door of Lian Wenwen's house, and many thoughts suddenly welled up in her heart, but none of them were clear.

Lu Zaiyuan called that night, and it was obviously this woman who yelled, so he hurriedly threw down the phone. But why is Lu Yuan but not at home today?

The woman's left leg was mutilated, and one hand was still burned like that, and after being approached by her, she hurriedly covered her face, was it because that face was more afraid of seeing people?

She remembered the question Xin Hui had expressed to her before leaving: "...... I don't believe she's still alive, and if she's alive, why hasn't she been in contact with her family for so many years? ”

Maybe she doesn't keep in touch with her family, because she suffers, right?

Nanxi was in a trance, standing under the big sun, staring at the old two-story building in front of him for a long time.

It wasn't until a small child ran past her and bumped her that she relented.

She raised her hand to wipe the beads of sweat on her forehead, looked left and right, and felt a little confused.

Things are not going well, she found Lian Wenwen, and it is even very likely that she has found Xin Ping, but she still doesn't know where the road is far away.

In fact, compared with the identity and experience of that woman, Nanxi is more concerned about Lu Zaiyuan's whereabouts. Seeing the woman's condition, Nanxi suddenly realized that the story of Lu Zaiyuan might be more complicated and cruel than she imagined.

Anyway, she's going to find him.

But where is he?

She looked around blankly and suddenly saw a red public phone booth not far away.

She immediately rushed over, took out her mobile phone, and dialed the number that had been calling from far away that night. There was a rhythmic "beep" sound from the earpiece, and the phone went through, but the payphone in front of her did not ring.

She continued to search the street and called the public phone near Wenwen's house, only to her disappointment.

None of the phones rang.

In other words, Lu Zaiyuan didn't call here that night, and then it can be concluded that Lu Zaiyuan may really not live in Lian Wenwen's house.

Nanxi was a little discouraged, walked out of the phone booth, and sat on the side of the road for a long time.

It's already noon, and it's getting hot. She was sweating profusely and her stomach was grumbling with hunger.

She stood up, bought a cup of iced milk tea and a burger on the side of the road, and walked as she ate. Whenever she came across a pay phone, she would stop and give it a try.

Walking all the way back to the hotel from Lian Wenwen's house, her feet were very painful, and her calves were slightly sore.

She took a hot bath and lay down on the bed for a while.

People stop, but their brains can't.

At Lian Wenwen's house just now, what the woman said to her was replayed over and over again in her mind.

The woman said that Lu Zaiyuan married her, and he was simply using her. He didn't love her, he didn't care about her, and he didn't care about their marriage.

Nanxi thought about it, but felt that it was not like that.

If he didn't care about her, why did he secretly call her in the middle of the night? His tone was so sincere at the time that he begged her for forgiveness, begged her to wait for him to return to D City.

If it hadn't been for the contingencies that followed, maybe they would have talked a lot that night.

But the woman was so determined to let her go home and wait for the lawyer, she couldn't help but start to worry, what happened to Lu Zhiyuan? Was it controlled by that woman?

The experience at Lian Wenwen's house in the morning made Nanxi's mentality change.

On the way to Macau, she was full of resentment about the long way she came. But now, she was worried about him.

She scrambled out of bed and made two phone calls home.

A phone call was made to Deng Jiaxiang because she needed to know her sister's condition.

Deng Jiaxiang asked her where she was, and said that his operation time had been set, and asked Nanxi if he could go back during his operation. After knowing that her sister was fine, Nanxi apologized to Deng Jiaxiang: "I'm sorry, I have something to do here, I'm afraid it will take a few days, you take care ......"

In Deng Jiaxiang's complaint, she hung up the phone and called Liao Yijiang again.

Liao Yijiang reported several important things about the company to her, and then told her: "The case of Zhao Xinyao's kidnapping and imprisonment of Deng Jiaxiang has been transferred to the court, and it is estimated that the trial will start soon...... This morning, Pei Tianming's assistant called the company and wanted to make an appointment to meet you, and I said that you were sick and didn't go to work, so I don't know if he will find your home. ”

"Don't let him know I'm coming to Macau." Nanxi told Liao Yijiang.

After putting down the phone, Nanxi changed her clothes and decided to go out again to find the pay phone that Lu Zaiyuan called her.

Out of the hotel, she once again threw herself on the streets of Macau. Like a little spider, she crawled patiently on the webs woven from street to street, not letting go of any pay phone, patiently looking for her target.

She believes that once the location of the payphone is determined, there is hope that the way will be found.

Although Macau is not big, finding a public phone is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

Until the evening, Nanxi looked at the small notebook in his hand, and walked almost a dozen streets, but still didn't find the phone.

Although she was wearing a pair of soft-soled shoes when she came out of the hotel, she was still very tired from the day's travel, her legs were sore and weak, and she had no strength in her body.

Moreover, her phone is about to run out of battery.

She looked at a phone booth not far in front of her and thought: try the last one again, if not, I'll go back and rest and continue looking for it tomorrow.

She shuffled her tired footsteps and approached the phone booth.

I silently prayed in my heart that this time the phone would ring.

Pressing the redial button, she looked expectantly at the red coin-operated payphone in front of her. After a few seconds, she didn't hear it ring, and she was disappointed again.

She sighed and was about to hang up her phone when she heard a voice on the other end of the line.

Oh, my God! The call was answered!

Nanxi hurriedly pressed the phone to her ear, and her excited voice trembled: "Hey? ”

Someone on the other end of the phone spoke, it was Cantonese, and she couldn't understand a word.

She was in a hurry and hurriedly asked the other party: "Can you speak Mandarin?" ”

"Miss, did you remember the wrong number? Today, you've been dialing this phone, and I'm selling newspapers next to me, and I'm annoyed to death! It's a pay phone, don't call again! A middle-aged man, biting his tongue and speaking broken Mandarin, complained to her about the pain of being harassed by a phone ring for a day.

Nanxi was excited, first apologized one after another, and then immediately asked the other party: "I'm looking for someone, the last time he called me, it was this public phone, can you please tell me your address over there?" ”

"This is the intersection of Ranch Street and Factory Street! Please don't make this call again, or I'm going to take the microphone off, it's really noisy! The middle-aged man reported the address and did not forget to complain again.

"Thank you, thank you!" Nan Xilian claimed, "I'm sorry to bother you, I won't make this call again!" ”

After putting down the phone, Nanxi didn't care about being tired, jumped to the side of the road, stopped a taxi, and went straight to the place at the intersection of Ranch Street and Factory Street! 166 Reading Network
