Chapter Twenty-Six: The Girl Ling Xue
Yang Hongcheng, male, 43 years old, doing foreign trade business, bought a house in a community in the western suburbs two years ago, because the decoration did not use the sand field of the three Wu brothers, he was seriously injured, and now lives on the third floor of Unit 1, No. 73 Liushu Road......
Li Dao looked at the ground on the information, and then looked up at the street sign next to him to make sure that he had not made a mistake. But this Yang Hongcheng is doing foreign trade business, and he bought a house in Haicheng, the economic conditions should be good, but now the willow road in front of him is very dilapidated, both sides of the street are low and dilapidated old houses, and the road is full of potholes, just two days ago, there was a rain, and the road is muddy and water, making it look more like a slum.
With doubts in his heart, Li Dao still found Yang Hongcheng's home according to the address on the information, this is a five-story small building as broken as the street, the first floor was changed into a faΓ§ade room to buy fritters, and the smoke kept steaming upward, it is estimated that the people upstairs could not open the windows at all, Li Dao came to the third floor along the narrow staircase, there are two families here, Yang Hongcheng lives in 301, so Li Dao stepped forward and knocked on the door, but there was no reaction inside.
"Anyone?" Li Dao knocked on the door again, but the door of 301 still did not open, but 302 behind him opened the door, and then a gray-haired grandmother leaned out half of her body and asked, "Who are you looking for?" β
"Hello grandma, is this Yang Hongcheng's home?" Li Dao asked very politely.
"yes, but there's no one in their house, do you have anything to do with them?" Grandma glanced at Li Dao very vigilantly at this time and said, she and Yang Hongcheng's family are neighbors, and the relationship between the two families is not bad, and now when she sees such a stranger as Li Dao coming to Yang Hongcheng, she will naturally be a little suspicious.
"That's right, I'm selling insurance, Mr. Yang Hongcheng bought an insurance with us some time ago, and now there is a little problem, so I want to check with him personally." Li Dao lied without blinking his eyes, after all, he always made people suspicious when a stranger came to visit, so he came up with such a reason, anyway, it is normal to sell insurance door-to-door sales.
"Liar! If you don't learn well at a young age, you can learn some tricks and abduction, the Yang family is already so unlucky, you still want to cheat money, hurry up and get out of me, otherwise I will call the police! What Li Dao never expected was that as soon as his words fell, the grandmother on the opposite side rushed over angrily with a mop, and she was about to start a fight if she didn't agree with her.
Li Dao was frightened and retreated, unable to understand what was wrong with his words, and was suddenly heard by the other party to be a lie, but he still defended himself and said: "Grandma, I really sell insurance, I don't believe you can find Yang Hongcheng's family, let's confront ...... face to face."
Before Li Dao's words were finished, he heard a crisp voice suddenly come from downstairs: "Grandma Zhou, what are you arguing about, didn't the doctor say that you won't be angry, be careful that your heart attack won't happen again!" β
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a beautiful girl in a school uniform walking upstairs. When Grandma Zhou, who was holding a mop in her hand, saw this girl, she immediately turned her anger into joy and stepped forward and said, "Ling Xue, come quickly, there is a liar here who said that he wants to find your father!" β
Li Dao couldn't help but secretly scream when he heard this, he didn't expect to meet Yang Hongcheng's daughter so coincidentally, if he told the truth, people would definitely not believe it, after all, how could he help others avenge without any remuneration in these years? Telling lies will definitely be debunked in an instant, which makes him hesitate whether to leave first for the time being, and come back when Yang Hongcheng goes home?
"Huh? It's you! But what Li Daowan didn't expect was that the other party, a beautiful girl who was obviously still a high school student, suddenly said loudly with a surprised face after looking at him a few times, and seemed to know him.
The girl's words also made Li Dao stunned for a moment, and then he met and looked at the other party, only to see that this girl had a delicate goose egg face, fair skin, a pair of smart big eyes under long eyebrows, a small and firm nose, and diamond-shaped lips seemed to be a little stubborn, even if she was wearing a loose high school uniform, she still couldn't hide her natural beauty, such a girl could attract the attention of others for the first time wherever she went.
"Are you ......" Li Dao was really a little familiar when he suddenly saw this delicate girl like a Barbie doll, but when he looked at it seriously, he felt very unfamiliar, he was sure that he didn't know each other, but he might have seen each other somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"You forgot, that day...... ...... on the bus that day" The girl named Ling Xue also saw that Li Dao couldn't remember herself, so she hurriedly reminded her, but when she talked about the bus, her fair little face also became red and fluttering, and she seemed to be very shy.
"Oh! It turned out to be you! Li Dao finally remembered when he heard this, he went to work on the second day of getting the eighteen hells, and met a pervert on the bus who took advantage of a girl, but he stopped him, and also asked the pervert to give up his seat to the girl, that girl was the girl named Ling Xue in front of him, but Li Dao didn't say a few words to the other party at that time, and then got off the bus and left, so he naturally didn't recognize the other party for a while.
"Ling Xue, do you know this liar?" At this time, Grandma Zhou, who was still holding a mop next to her, suddenly interjected, and looked at Li Dao's gaze even more unfriendly, she regarded Ling Xue as her own granddaughter, and now this liar not only came to the door, but also knew Ling Xue, but she heard that some liars began to prepare a little bit a few days ago in order to deceive the trust of others, and now that Ling Xue's father is not there, she is the only girl left in the family, and she has to help her take care of it.
"Grandma Zhou, this big brother is a good person, I was bullied a few days ago, and it was this big brother who saved me!" Ling Xue heard Grandma Zhou say that Li Dao was a liar, and immediately helped him distinguish it, although she didn't know Li Dao's name yet, but out of a girl's intuition, she trusted Li Dao very much.
"Yes, Grandma, I'm really not a bad person, I just want to meet Mr. Yang Hongcheng this time!" Li Dao first explained to Grandma Zhou, and by the way, he also showed Ling Xue his intention.
Hearing that the other party wanted to see her father, Ling Xue also glanced at Li Dao with some surprise, but before she could speak, Grandma Zhou pulled her aside, glanced at Li Dao vigilantly again, and whispered: "Ling Xue, your father is now living in the hospital, and there is no one else in the family except you, so no matter whether you know this person or not, you must be vigilant in your heart, do you know?" β
"Thank you Grandma Zhou for reminding me, I'll be careful!" Although Ling Xue believed that Li Dao was not a bad person, she still glanced at Grandma Zhou very gratefully, after all, in this world, apart from her father, I am afraid that only Grandma Zhou cares about her the most.
"Well, then I'll go into the house first, and I'll call grandma if there's anything!" Grandma Zhou admonished again, and then turned around and entered the room, but before leaving, she deliberately glanced at Li Dao, and the warning was very obvious.
After Grandma Zhou entered, Li Dao stepped forward and said to Ling Xue: "Hello, I didn't expect you to be Yang Hongcheng's daughter, I have something I want to talk to your father about, can you take me to meet him?" β
"See my dad?" Ling Xue hesitated when she heard Li Dao's request, as if there was something unspeakable, but finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'm going to cook some food for my dad just now, why don't you come in first and wait for me, and we'll go over together in a while!" β
"Great, thank you!" Hearing this, Li Dao hurriedly thanked Ling Xue.
Ling Xue smiled a little shyly at Li Dao's thanks, and then took out the key to open the door and invite Li Dao in. Ling Xue's home is very small, just a very ordinary one-bedroom living room, the room inside should be Yang Hongcheng's bedroom, and the living room near the balcony is separated by a curtain, there is a bed in it, the bed is stacked neatly, and there is a brown bear puppet next to the pillow, at a glance, you know that Ling Xue should usually sleep here.
Although the room is very simple, the furniture in the room is very old, and the sofa has even faded, but the room is very clean, and there are even some small potted plants and small decorations at the head of Ling Xue's bed, which looks full of life interest.
"Please take a seat, please have tea!" Ling Xue saw Li Dao looking at his room, and said a little cramped, and helped Li Dao pour a cup of tea and put it on the coffee table. It is estimated that it is also the first time she has stayed alone in a room with a strange man, although she believes that the other party is a good person, but she is still a little nervous.
"Hello Ling Xue, my name is Li Dao, everyone else calls me Brother Dao, this time I came to your father to talk about something very important!" Li Dao also felt a little embarrassed, so he introduced himself first.
"Dao...... Hello Brother Dao, my father is sick and hospitalized, and I usually have to take care of him and go to school, so there is no one at home, and I will send it to my father when I cook a meal. Ling Xue glanced at Li Dao a little nervously and said in a low voice.
"Okay, go get busy!" Li Dao hurriedly spoke, although Ling Xue didn't say it, but Li Dao could also see that there seemed to be only her father and her in her family, as for her mother's situation, the other party didn't say it, and Li Dao couldn't ask.
"Okay, you drink tea first, I'll be able to cook in no time!" Ling Xue said apologetically, and then turned around and went to the kitchen next to him, and after a while, he heard the sound of chopping vegetables and cooking from inside, and at the same time, the aroma of the food also came out, causing Li Dao to feel a little hungry, but God is pitiful, he has just had breakfast, and now Li Dao also feels very helpless about his big belly, and he feels that with the increase of his strength, the amount of food will also increase, I really don't know if the eighteen hells are opened in the future, what will his amount of food increase to?
