678. Chapter 678
Chen Jingya looked at Ling Yun's distracted appearance, and she asked curiously, "Brother Yun, what's wrong with you?" Did you see this scene and feel compassion? ”
Ling Yun didn't pay attention to Chen Jingya's question at this time, and looked at the thin and desolate back of the woman in her fifties from a distance, and at this moment, a sour feeling surged in his heart.
After a pause, he immediately chased after him and walked behind the woman, Ling Yun hesitated.
He looked at the woman's gray, disheveled hair, and suddenly choked up and couldn't speak.
Ling Yun didn't want anyone to see his expression at this time, so he turned his face to the side and lit a cigarette.
When he looked up again at the woman's back, she had disappeared into the confusion of the flickering lights.
At this time, Chen Jingya hurriedly ran to Ling Yun's side, he looked at Ling Yun's sad expression in confusion, and asked carefully, "Brother Yun, what's wrong with you?" ”
Ling Yun let out a long cloud of smoke before he came to his senses.
He threw the cigarette butt into the trash can on the side of the road and said in a low voice, "Jingya, I'm sorry, I can't eat with you tonight, you can take the car home by yourself." ”
After speaking, Ling Yun walked quickly to the parking lot without looking back.
Chen Jingya looked at Ling Yun's suddenly changed expression, she didn't know what was going on, she looked at Ling Yun's back in a hurry with regret, sighed, and turned around and walked towards the steak shop in disappointment.
Ling Yun quickly drove the car out of the parking lot, and at the same time, called Lin Shaofeng: "Shaofeng, you quickly rushed to the parking lot of No. 77 Changyun Road, I am waiting for you here, don't forget, bring Teacher You's home address!" ”
Lin Shaofeng on the other end of the phone listened to Ling Yun's hurried tone and asked, "What's the matter, Brother Yun, are we going to see Teacher You at this time?" ”
"Yes, we'll go now, I won't talk to you more, you come over immediately, meet and talk again."
After Ling Yun finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Five minutes later, Lin Shaofeng rushed to the door of the parking lot at No. 77 Changyun Road, got into Ling Yun's car, and asked Ling Yun, "Brother Yun, didn't you say that you would go to see Teacher You on the weekend?" Why are you suddenly in such a hurry to pass, what happened? We didn't buy anything to prepare. ”
Ling Yun didn't answer Lin Shaofeng's words, and asked anxiously, "Tell me where Teacher You's family lives?" ”
Lin Shaofeng took out his notebook and said, "The address I remember is No. 7 Jingnan Road." ”
"No. 7 Jingnan Road? This area should be the most prosperous area in Jinghai City, right? Are you not mistaken? Ling Yun snatched the notebook from Lin Shaofeng's hand, turned on the lights in the car, looked at it carefully, and asked with some doubts.
Lin Shaofeng looked at Ling Yun thoughtfully and said, "No, how could I be mistaken." At that time, when my classmate copied the address to me, I was worried that I would make a mistake, so I asked him to check it a few times, and it would never be wrong, what's wrong Brother Yun? I sense you're weird today. ”
Ling Yun started the car, lit a cigarette, paused for a while, and said, "Shaofeng, when Teacher You was in Jinjing City, do you know the situation in her family? ”
"You know, I often met Teacher You in those years, before she retired, she went to school very early every day, and I often met her.
I met her a few times after she retired, and sometimes I saw her and her lover going out for a walk, and they were in good shape.
At that time, I saw the happiness of Mr. You and his wife, and I was really happy for them.
Sometimes, her son will be by their side, and it seems that the family is very happy.
At that time, I fantasized about how nice it would be if I reached retirement age to be like Mr. You's family.
I often think of when we were in school, Ms. You was very happy every day, always seeing her laughing, even when criticizing us, we would feel Ms. You's special gentleness. ”
Ling Yun listened to Lin Shaofeng's words and recalled that when he was in elementary school, Teacher You was about twenty or thirty, especially beautiful and kind.
He really didn't dare to imagine that the miserable woman in her fifties just now would be their Teacher You back then, he really hoped that it was a misunderstanding and that he was wrong.
Thinking of this, Ling Yun drove the car quickly towards Jingnan Road.
No. 7 Jingnan Road should be located in the most prosperous business district of Jinghai City, and at night, it is still crowded with people and lively.
The opulent skyscrapers on both sides of the road and the flashing neon lights in front of the shops tell everyone who passes by that this is a world of money.
Ling Yun looked for a parking lot on this road for a while, and after finally parking the car, he and Lin Shaofeng followed the northernmost part of Jingnan Road all the way to the south.
On Jingnan Road, where high-rise buildings are lined with bright lights, Ling Yun and Lin Shaofeng walked for nearly two hours, but they still did not find the address of No. 7 Jingnan Road.
They searched for a while between the numbers No. 1 and No. 9 Jingnan Road, but they still couldn't find the address of No. 7.
Ling Yun asked: "Shaofeng, is your address correct, we have been looking for so long, and we can't see this house number at all." ”
Lin Shaofeng frowned and said, "That's right, that junior high school classmate of mine said that he once went on a business trip to the provincial capital and came to see Teacher You once." ”
"Is that weird? Is it that Mr. You has moved, ask the people in this place. Ling Yun looked around.
At this time, Ling Yun saw two elderly women sitting on a rest chair on the side of the road chatting, so he stepped forward and asked, "Mother-in-law, where is No. 7 Jingnan Road?" ”
The old woman pointed to a huge billboard in front of her and said, "It's right there." ”
Ling Yun looked at the huge billboard, which exaggerated with a dazzling advertising slogan: Yuanfa Real Estate, Love is Full of Love.
Ling Yun asked suspiciously, "Mother-in-law, I'm talking about the residence at No. 7 Jingnan Road?" ”
The old woman still pointed to the huge billboard and said, "It's right behind there." ”
"Back? Is there any way to the back house? ”
The old woman pointed to a narrow gap of less than 50 centimeters on the left side of the huge billboard and said, "Just go through there." ”
Ling Yun glanced at the place pointed by the old woman, frowned, and continued to ask patiently: "Mother-in-law, I mean the main entrance to the back house, you said this is the path to the back door, right?" ”
The old woman sighed and said, "Young man, do you see, there are six or seven families behind this billboard, all of them passing through that 'path', and this is the main gate, and we also live behind it. ”
Ling Yun looked at the two old women and thought that they were confused, so he asked again: "Mother-in-law, hasn't the neighborhood committee of this street communicated with the city management department of the city government?" Even if you want to advertise on the side of the road, you have to leave a way for people to go. ”
The two old women piled up wrinkles on their faces, shook their heads bitterly, waved their hands at Ling Yun, and stopped talking.
Ling Yun and Lin Shaofeng glanced at each other, and they slowly walked towards the narrow gap next to the billboard.
At this time, Ling Yun saw a woman in her fifties coming from the south side of the street, and this woman was the one Ling Yun had seen in front of the steakhouse.
Ling Yun hurriedly pulled Lin Shaofeng, motioned him to look forward, and said, "Shaofeng, look at the woman opposite, do you know each other?" ”
Lin Shaofeng looked at the old woman through the flickering and dazzling light of the neon signs, and his expression suddenly became stunned.
When Ling Yun saw Lin Shaofeng's appearance, his heart was like a piercing ice, and he had already guessed that this woman was their elementary school teacher, You Min.
What happened to Mr. You, how could there be such a big change?
Ling Yun and Lin Shaofeng couldn't accept the facts in front of them, they hurriedly rushed to You Min's side and said, "Are you Teacher You?" ”
You Min raised her tired eyes, followed by the dazzling light, and carefully looked at Ling Yun and Lin Shaofeng, and after a while, her eyes suddenly lit up.
You Min hurriedly straightened his messy hair, and said a little nervously: "Shaofeng, it's so late, how did you find me here?" ”
Lin Shaofeng looked at You Min's old and tired appearance, and the happy Teacher You he saw three years ago was a world of difference, and he was choked up and speechless for a while.
After a while, he whispered, "Teacher You, Ling Yun and I have come to see you." ”
Ling Yun approached some You Min and said with a smile: "Teacher You, I'm Ling Yun, do you remember me?" It's the naughty and disobedient Ling Yun who often makes you angry. ”
You Min looked at Ling Yun carefully for a while, grabbed Ling Yun's hand, and said with some excitement: "Remember to remember, how can you not remember!" You're the student I'm most worried about.
That year, I heard that you had committed an accident and left Jinjing City, and I was never heard from again, and I blamed myself very much at that time.
I keep blaming myself for not paying more attention to you when I teach you!
In the years that followed, I asked a lot of people, and they said they didn't know your whereabouts.
To this day, when I think about it, I feel ashamed.
As your teacher, I didn't take you well.
I'm so happy to see you again today! ”
When You Min said this, she was suddenly stunned, she looked at Ling Yun for a while with the dazzling advertising light, and said, "You picked up the money on Changyun Road just now and gave it to me, right?" ”
Ling Yun held You Min's hand and said, "Yes, Teacher You, it's because of what happened just now that I'm in a hurry to find it now." I was going to come over with Shaofeng to see you on the weekend.
However, after the incident on Changyun Road, we temporarily decided to come to you so late, and I wasn't sure it was you at the time, so I wanted to come and take a look.
Teacher You, what's wrong with you, what trouble is your family experiencing? ”
