I tried to continue, but he motioned for me to stop talking and told me to stand behind the screen in the back room. Then I noticed that there was a brown wooden screen in the corner of the room, almost blending in with the surrounding background.

"Let her in." Shi Lei shouted outside.

I quickly walked sideways into the back of the screen and hid in the room, wanting to see what kind of medicine was sold in this stone gourd. There is also a pedal behind this screen, and when you step on it, no one outside can even see your feet, and no one will notice that I am still in this room.

It wasn't long before the sound of messy footsteps came from far and near, and I pricked up my ears to listen. I only felt that the owner of the footsteps was full of reluctance, but he had to come over, and he was stunned for a moment at the door of the inner room before slowly stepping in.

Smack. Smack. The sound of high heels was extremely harsh.

"You...... Is it really Shi Lei? The visitor asked.

It's a woman, her voice reveals timidity and doubt, and she can hear that she still has some confidence. I wanted to turn my head to see this person's face, but the screen was too thick, and I was afraid that she would notice that I was moving too much, so I had to concentrate all my energy on my ears and distinguish them word by word.

"It's me, Wan'er, you don't know me anymore?" Shi Lei said softly.

Hearing this title, I could clearly feel the woman in front of me trembling, and her high heels stepped back a few centimeters, making a screeching sound.

"Such as ...... If it were you, why wouldn't you dare face me? Do you want to hide behind this curtain and pretend to be a ghost? The woman obviously came prepared, and after a little panic, she immediately calmed down and asked rhetorically.

The bed where Shi Lei was located made a "squeak" sound. He changed his posture, and the figure shook a little, and his voice came out slowly: "Why can't I see people with my true face, you should know this question better than others." ”

The woman gasped, she was already unsteady, and her confidence just now was eight points lost.

"Both...... In that case, what happened back then ...... You know all about it......"

Shi Lei nodded.

"What about you...... Can you forgive me...... I was young. I don't know anything, I'm not sensible, I don't know the consequences of doing this......"

Shi Lei smiled contemptuously. "Now that I'm back, I don't want to pursue the past......"

"That's a good ...... for daring"

"But." Shi Lei's words were not finished. After a slight pause, he continued: "Can you explain my parents' affairs?" ”

The psychological defense line that the woman had originally established was shattered at this moment. "Didn't I explain it before about them......"

"I want to hear the truth." Shi Lei pressed forward step by step.

The woman completely collapsed and sat down on the ground all at once. A handful of snot and a handful of tears, with a crying voice, said: "I...... I don't really know...... They...... They really died of illness......"

"Hehe......"

"You believe me, you believe me, they really died of illness, I don't know anything! Your thing is that I'm sorry for you, but they ...... They I really don't know ......."

Shi Lei, who was sitting on the bed, sighed heavily, and the room fell into a dead silence, leaving only the short and unpleasant cry of the woman, intermittently like pulling the strings.

"Let's go see your parents." Shi Lei finally said.

"Okay, I'll go. I'll go! ”

As if relieved, the woman stood up from the ground with her hands on the wall, and whimpered and said yes as she exited the room. The whole person was depressed, and the footsteps became more and more messy. It wasn't until she was far away enough to hear my conversation with Shi Lei that I walked out of the screen.

"Who was that guy just now?" I asked.

"My sister, cousin." He said, "Miss Wu, I hope you can write everything you heard and saw today in the magazine, and tell everyone." ”

I don't understand what he meant. But he nodded and left the back room as he had intended.

I'm wearing flat shoes today, and there's almost no footsteps. After walking a few steps, I suddenly heard a room in front of me. There was the sound of people's small discussions. The voice was deliberately low, as if he was afraid of being heard. I slowed down and quietly followed, and finally saw the woman Wan'er with a crying voice just now.

She was the one who left a message under the post that day, crying and shouting for me to give her the charm. I still remember how scared she was at the time, could it be that she was afraid of Shi Lei?

"Who told you to come back!" It was the old man who had just opened the door for me. His face flushed and he seemed angry, "Didn't I tell you that you would never come back unless you received a notification from me!?" ”

The voice was low, but very majestic.

"Dad......" Wan'er said, "the whole world knows about it." I...... I don't come back to see it, I feel guilty......"

Father? Shi Lei's cousin actually called his father his father, and something seemed to be wrong. I put my head against the door and listened carefully, not daring to come out of the atmosphere, for fear of missing a single detail.

"What is not guilty, no matter what, haven't things already happened! Tell me about you, who are you going to show this cowardly appearance now? Yes?! ”

"Dad, listen to me...... Shiller...... Shi Lei said that he had forgiven me...... He doesn't pursue what happened back then. Wan'er said.

The old man snorted and continued, "If he forgives you, will he come back?" How can you be so naïve! Don't you know where we are now? If the people around us knew what we were doing, they would still let us live here? Can you still stay in the city you have your heart and soul in mind? ”

"I know, I know. But...... But he said...... He wants to know the truth about his parents. Wan'er frowned and turned to the old woman on the side, "Mom, tell me the truth, how did your aunt and uncle-in-law die?" ”

The two old men raised their heads, made a color to each other, and instantly changed into another face: "Wan'er, Shi Lei's parents did die of illness, we didn't lie to you about this, and we don't need to lie to you." You have to know that we are always in the same boat, and we are always the most sincere to each other. ”

Hearing this, Wan'er let out a long sigh of relief. "In that case, there should be nothing for me to do, so I'll go back now......"

"Well, Wan'er," said the old lady at once when she saw that she was leaving, "why don't you stay for the night today?" It's rare to come back to see your parents, don't be in a hurry to go back. ”

"Yes, Wan'er, after the accident, you don't know how much we want to see you. Now that Shi Lei is not dead, everything is back on track, shouldn't you stay with your parents? ”

Wan'er's originally stretched brows furrowed again, her expression still revealed horror, and her head shook like a rattle when she heard this: "No, no, no, I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want to live under the same roof with him, I'm afraid ......"

"What are you afraid of! When you first started, why didn't you say that you were afraid! The old man scolded angrily, and Wan'er trembled with fright.

"Eh, don't scare her." The old lady said, smiling and stroking her hand, and said, "Wan'er, my parents just miss you, and we know that you are afraid, so we won't keep you for long." Just tonight, all night, right? If you sleep with your mother, you won't be afraid. Most of my parents are in the ground, and I don't know which night I will go to see Lord Yama as soon as I stretch my legs. Do you know what we do, but it's all for you! ”

“……”

"Don't forget, as long as I still have a breath, then one more person will know!" The old man said, crossing his hands behind his back.

"Good...... Then I'll live here today......" Wan'er nodded reluctantly, her expression still very tangled. As soon as she finished speaking, the old man and the old lady smiled and immediately hugged her, "I know that our family Wan'er is the most well-behaved, and my parents didn't hurt you in vain." ”

These words must be the most heartwarming in normal times. But I always felt like the old couple was wearing a mask and didn't tell the truth. On the contrary, this Wan'er makes me feel a lot more real than before. What is that thing in their mouths?

But I can figure it out now, these old couple are Wan'er's parents, Shi Lei's aunt and uncle, as for why he calls his aunt and uncle his parents, I don't understand. Is it true that his biological parents died because of illness?

"By the way, Wan'er, when you went in just now, did you see that Miss Wu inside?" The old man grabbed Wan'er and asked.

"No, Shi Lei is alone in it." She shook her head, then turned and walked out of the room.

"That's good, that's good...... I should have left before. ”

At this moment, I was hiding behind the door, for fear that they would find out that I was still here, and even memorize what they said word for word. Fortunately, Wan'er has been thinking about other things in her heart, her eyes are always on the ground, and the old couple is even more sneaky, only watching Wan'er's words and deeds. Didn't notice my save zài in the slightest. I can't leave right now, and there's definitely a heavy secret waiting for me tonight.

After Wan'er left, the old couple still stayed in the house, probing their brains, waiting for the sound of high heels to completely disappear at the end of the corridor, and then poured out all the words hidden in their stomachs.

"What's next?" The old woman asked. I was startled when I heard her voice, which was much sharper than before, like the voice of a woman in her thirties.

"Do you still want to ask me? I thought you already knew what I was thinking. The old man's voice also became younger, and his tone revealed contempt and snickering, like a little imp who was playing a prank.

"Haha, I know, then let's do it tonight." The old woman was smirking, and the gurgling sound gave me goosebumps.

"If you don't do it tonight, will you still keep that woman for the winter?"

"Hey, hey, hey, hey......" (To be continued.) )
