Liu Shusheng is a packer in a yarn factory, tall and sturdy, carrying a 200-pound sack and walking in a tiger's style. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

This is a sign of good posterity in the eyes of others, but for Xu Meijuan, it is the most unlikely type to choose.

Because Xu Meijuan wants to get rid of her current career as a female worker, in addition to giving her salary to her mother, the rest is saved up for night school in the future, and her dream is to find a literate person to marry. Liu Shusheng has pursued her for more than a year, Xu Meijuan has always refused to accept it, but Liu Shusheng is a very stubborn person, he likes Xu Meijuan, and there is only her in his eyes in the factory every day, because she is there, and the rumbling machine sound around him sounds pleasant music, as long as he sees her smile, all the hard work is worth it. It's just that this love has gradually become humble as it has been rejected by Xu Meijuan many times.

Liu Shusheng's pursuit made Xu Meijuan gradually feel angry.

Almost everyone in the factory knew about this, and when they saw Liu Shusheng at noon, some people joked: "Hurry up and send the food to Xu Meijuan, I can see you more." ā€

"Xu Meijuan is in front, hurry up and catch up."

Whenever others talked about it like this, Liu Shusheng smiled shyly, and the red bumps on his face turned even redder, and Xu Meijuan's eyes were particularly irritable: The toad wants to eat swan meat.

In Xu Meijuan's angry gaze, the nickname of toad was called. Because Liu Shusheng was young and had strong hormones, he had a lot of red bumps on his face, and there were white tips on them, and his original appearance was a little hideous because of these pimples.

"Meijuan, a man can't be a food or drink if he looks good, I think Shusheng is very good, he has a good body and can work, and he will definitely hurt people in the future."

"Yes, yes, his family still has a house of his own in Shikumen, and I heard that there are fields in the countryside, so it's not easy to find such good conditions."

"Liu Shusheng has liked you for a year, you have to give him a chance."

Usually, the little sisters chatter and persuade.

"Since he's so good, you can like it yourself, and you rely on me for anything, really." Xu Meijuan was very unhappy, she felt that she was looked down upon by the little sisters. Could it be that my Xu Meijuan's conditions are so poor, looking for Liu Shusheng or Gao Pan?

In the eyes of outsiders, Xu Meijuan's only advantage is that she is good-looking, a very delicate girl, with a smile showing small dimples and snow-white teeth, sweet, and looking at people in a good mood. But her family has no father, her brother is running a boat, a widowed mother, living in a crumbling old house, this family, fifteen-year-old girls have to come out to do things, I am afraid that there will be no dowry in the future.

So some people in the yarn factory said that her heart was higher than the sky, and then she died, and everyone added: Life is thinner than paper!

On that rainy night, the trajectory of the willow tree recorded in the dossier was like this.

He got off work after working overtime with Xu Meijuan.

Not long after Xu Meijuan held an oil-paper umbrella and waved goodbye to the little sisters, someone saw Liu Shusheng wearing a raincoat and also appeared at the gate of the yarn factory.

Some people joked with him: "Hehe, Shusheng, Xu Meijuan just left, do you want to be a hero to save the beauty, send the beauty home on a rainy day, maybe people can invite you in for a cup of hot tea." ā€

"Where is the hot tea enough, wow, delicious osmanthus small Lantern Festival."

Liu Shusheng smirked, and the red bumps on his face were very obvious in the rain.

He probably really looked forward to sending Xu Meijuan home, and asked Xu Meijuan in the direction he was going to follow.

Several workers in the yarn factory can prove that he chased Xu Meijuan that night.

Then, after walking some longer, he met another witness.

The witness, a cigarette vendor squatting in front of the Ocean Ballroom, could testify that a tall young man in a raincoat had bought a pack of Old Knife cigarettes from him that night.

The vendor had been squatting at the entrance of the ballroom for a long time, regardless of wind or rain. On rainy nights, there were very few people walking through the streets, and the vendors were bored and looked blankly at the streets.

At this time, a man and a woman caught his eye.

The woman was wearing a blue cheongsam and holding a large oil-paper umbrella in her hand, and the man was wearing a raincoat. Suddenly, the woman pushed the man, turned around and ran away, the woman's figure was thin, the oil-paper umbrella was very large, and the posture was a little strange when she ran, as if the whole person was going to be taken up by the umbrella, this scene made a particularly deep impression on the hawker, he thought at the time, the man was tall and strong, and the woman was so thin, if it was a fight, it would be a loss, and the vendor was relieved to see the woman run, and then he saw the man in the raincoat come over and asked for a pack of old knife brand cigarettes.

"Young man, the little lover quarrels, just coax more."

The hawker thought that he was a passer-by, and the wife of the family relied on herself to coax him every day, and when he saw the young man turn on the cigarette, he leaned against the eaves of the dance hall, lit a fire and smoked, and he could see that he was very depressed, so the hawker kindly persuaded him.

"Hmph, what is she crazy about, the poor clank in the family, she looks good and pushes every day, and she is bent on climbing high branches, and she even looks down on me. What a ......."

The young man spit out a smoke ring and said viciously: "Wait for the day when Lao Tzu is angry, and the raw rice is cooked to see that she still dares to be arrogant, I am afraid that she will cry and shout and beg Lao Tzu to marry her." ā€

The peddler laughed a few times, and said in his heart that you are tall and big, and you were pushed aside by a thin little girl, if you have such a ruthless heart, this little girl has already taken it, and you can still smoke here? It's funny.

After a while, the young man exclaimed, "Hey, she has to go through that alley when she goes home from this road, there are very few people there, and there are no street lights, so I'm afraid I'm going to be afraid, no, no, I don't worry." ā€

As he spoke, he ran away with a cigarette in his mouth.

The peddler looked at his back and shook his head and smiled: Look, sure enough, this will start to worry, what Fang just said is menacing.

Now Su San and Luo Yin are standing at the door of that dance hall, and after twelve years, the vendor is still setting up a cigarette stall here.

The peddler is now in his fifties, and he still remembers the incident of that rainy night vividly.

"Of course it's clear, then the police asked me how many times, and I couldn't forget it after saying it so many times, I couldn't imagine that the young man really did that kind of thing, I couldn't see it at all, he looked honest, I thought he just said it."

The peddler is still very embarrassed when he mentions the events of that year.

After the incident, when the police investigated the scene, they picked up a pack of old knife brand cigarettes next to the corpse, the cigarettes were soaked by the rain and were stepped on, but it was clearly found that there was one missing inside, which was in line with the hawker's statement, Liu Shusheng bought the cigarette and smoked most of it at the door of the dance hall and chased it out to find Xu Meijuan.

Su San thought about it roughly, from Xu Meijuan's departure to Liu Shusheng buying cigarettes, and then smoking and talking, it was a matter of more than ten minutes, Liu Shusheng was tall and big, where would he catch up with Xu Meijuan in these ten minutes?

She looked at Luo Yin and said, "Let's start walking from here and see where we can go in ten minutes?" ā€

Luo Yin immediately understood her thoughts and said: "When Liu Shusheng left, Xu Meijuan was also leaving, and the situation of both sides moving at the same time should be taken into account." ā€

The two men began to walk along the path of the dance hall in the direction of the accident under the hawker's astonished gaze.

The peddler's biggest hobby every day is to observe the people who come and go, and when he saw the backs of these two people, he sighed softly: "How good it should be that those two people were like this back then, and they would not talk so well and not end up with such a big thing, alas, it's all fate." ā€
