36. Chapter 36

Yuan Lu quickly inquired about Liu Fayan's daughter's residence, but Yuan Lu didn't expect that when she arrived at the shack on the outskirts of the western suburbs of the city, there were already people staying there.

In fact, she was so anxious to follow the map on her mobile phone that she didn't notice an SUV parked near the shack that was out of place with her surroundings.

Outside the shed is a rudimentary stove, with gas canisters and stoves exposed in the open air, and not far away is a garbage recycling station, where 20-meter-high discarded plastic bottles and cardboard look like a colorful wall. And on the stacked cardboard piles, there are sporadic scavengers walking back and forth.

Yuan Lu thought that Liu Fayan's living environment would not be very good, but he didn't expect that the disease had dragged the family to this point. According to Yuan Lu's previous understanding, before Liu Fayan's wife suffered from breast cancer, they ran a small breakfast shop, and the couple were diligent and clean people, so the business was not bad, at least Liu Fayan and his wife had paid a down payment for a house on the edge of the satellite city of City C.

Cases of falling back into poverty due to illness and falling into poverty due to illness are all too common in China, and the high cost of medical treatment and the difficulty of reimbursement of imported medical expenses are obviously a fatal blow to such families with very low resilience to risks.

She can understand the despair of falling to the bottom, after all, she came from the bottom.

Standing in front of the dilapidated shack, Hara tried her best to calm her feelings, she didn't want to infect the unfortunate girl with those painful memories she had had.

There was a faint cry in the house, and Yuan Lu's heart tugged at it.

Every time she took a step closer to the shack, it was as if time was going backwards, as if she was about to see herself who was hiding in the corner of the wall so hungry that she could only cry like a mosquito.

The door of the house was not closed, and the moment Yuan Lu's hand pushed the door open, he immediately shouted vigilantly: "What are you doing?" ”

A tall man had his back to her, she couldn't see what the man was doing, his figure completely blocking the body of the girl huddled in the corner.

The child's cry continued to amplify in his ears, and the sound of his heartbeat began to amplify a hundredfold in his chest.

The man turned around, and Yuan Lu and the man were stunned.

"Yu Weiwu!?" Hara called out his name unmistakably.

Obviously, Yu Weiwu hadn't heard others call him by his name so unshy for a long time, and his eyes crossed a slight change that was not easy to detect, and he quickly regained a faint smile: "Why is Miss Yuan here?" ”

Yuan Lu frowned and looked at him, seeing that he was holding a plastic water cup in his hand, and there was still hot white smoke in the water cup, as if he wanted to hand the water cup to the girl on the bed.

She pursed her lips into a straight line and said sternly: "It seems that I don't need to explain to Mr. Yu where I appear, right?" On the contrary, Mr. Yu has a lot of opportunities, how can he appear here, but it is very suspicious. ”

Qiao Zhengqi didn't let her know the specific relationship network behind this matter, and the appearance of a character like Yu Weiwu here at this moment shows that he is inextricably linked to Liu Fayan's case?

Yuan Lu had to be suspicious.

Yu Weiwu handed the water cup in his hand to the girl and said softly, "It's still a little hot, you can drink it when it's cold." ”

With her big teary eyes open, the girl timidly moved from the corner of the bed to the side of the bed, and reached out to take the water cup in Yu Weiwu's hand.

Such caution makes people feel really distressed to watch.

The cold of spring in the beginning of spring is a few points worse than the midwinter in December, and it is the most likely to get the flu, the old cotton jacket on the girl's body has broken several holes, the cotton wool inside has fallen out, and the quilt on the bed has been dirty and unsightly.

Yuan Lu felt uncomfortable in her heart, and finally realized the feeling of seeing her for the first time when Deng Han went to pick her up.

Depressed, embarrassed, lonely, distressed...... Her current relationship is a little more complicated than Deng Han at that time.

Yu Weiwu said to the girl soothingly: "Uncle and sister will go out for a while, you wait here, don't go out." ”

The girl nodded.

Yu Weiwu gave Yuan Lu a look, and Yuan Lu followed his footsteps and walked out.

He went to get something in the car, and Yuan Lu realized that he had just been so careless that he didn't see a wrangler parked near the shed.

Yu Weiwu opened the trunk and got into the trunk with his upper body to rummage through things.

Yuan Lu waited beside him, quietly squinting at him.

"Come and help me move my things." Yu Weiwu carried out two large boxes of mineral water and asked Yuan Lu to move the rest of the things inside.

Yuan Lu leaned out of his upper body to see, and there was actually a box of instant noodles, a box of cream sandwich cakes, and a big bag of snacks in the trunk.

"You can choose to move it lightly, and I'll move the heavy bag later."

Yuan Lu glanced at him, silently stepped forward and moved a box of instant noodles from the trunk, and then stacked the box of cakes on top of it, followed him, and moved into the shed together.

Yu Weiwu put down two large boxes of mineral water and went to get the remaining bag of snacks.

He opened the snack bag and rummaged through it, found a disposable cup, pulled two out, walked to the iron-footed square table, and poured two cups of hot water from the thermos.

"Drink some hot water."

Yuan Lu took the water cup and asked, "When did you come?" ”

"Almost ten minutes before you."

Yuan Lu wrapped his cold hands around the warm cup wall to keep warm, looked at the girl on the bed, and said, "I don't know what purpose you came here for, but from the current point of view, it doesn't seem to be too much...... Malicious. ”

Her previous unscrupulous speculation was overturned by his behavior little by little, and she didn't think that Yu Weiwu would actually carry water and snacks for the girl by herself.

Yu Weiwu smiled and asked, "What about you?" Why come here? ”

Yuan Lu lowered his head to look at the steaming heat in the water glass, and said, "Come and see, I want to know how bad the situation is." ”

"Do you think it's bad?"

Yuan Lu paused and said, "Worse than me." "Much worse than she was then, at least she wasn't in a shanty where a gust of wind blew and the roof rattled.

Yu Weiwu's pupils shrank slightly, and he looked at her three words, but he didn't delve into it, and said calmly: "It will slowly get better in the future, at least it won't be worse than now." ”

He responded to her with vague words that he couldn't guess.

Yuan Lu took a sip of hot water and felt that his limbs were a little warmer, so he went to help clean up the house.

"What's your name?"

Yuan Lu helped the girl remove the dirty quilt cover, and planned to find a new set of quilt cover in the house to help her change it.

"Liu Lu."

Yuan Lu was stunned for a moment, "Liu Lu? ”

The girl nodded.

Yu Weiwu laughed very lightly, and said on the side: "The deer that is singing in Yoyo is not your road bird and heron." ”

Yuan Lu came back to his senses and realized that fate is really scary sometimes. Qiao Zhengqi didn't let her touch her hands, she didn't believe in this evil, and begged Zheng Qiuqi to chase the clues for two or more days, and three informants in the middle knew Liu Lu's address, it turned out that she also had a pronunciation with her own name, both called lu.

Removing the covers, she rummaged through the simple storage boxes in the house, and sure enough, she found two clean sets of covers.

Yu Weiwu said: "I first gave the hot water bottle back to the people nearby and borrowed it. ”

Yuan Lu asked, "Is the hot water borrowed?" ”

Yu Weiwu: "I tried to hit the gas stove outside, but I didn't light the fire, I shook the gas barrel, it seems that there is no gas, and the hot water can't be boiled, I saw that Liu Lu was shaking badly, so I went to borrow some hot water from someone nearby." ”

Yuan Lu nodded slowly, and his heart instantly changed a lot towards Yu Weiwu. Now he is not at all like the business pride who wears the skin of a humble gentleman, but is actually invincible in his bones.

He seems to be able to do these mundane things with ease, unlike people who are pampered and do not know their suffering. She even began to think that Yu Weiwu would appear here, and it was entirely because of the compassion that had not yet been extinguished.

Yuan Lu cleaned up the house neatly, and when Yu Weiwu came back, he discussed it with him, and wanted to take Liu Lu to a nearby hotel to help her wash her hair and bathe, it is estimated that Liu Lu has not been freshened up since Liu Fayan died.

A seven-year-old child, there is only such a child in the family, who is usually a baby in the palm of her parents, and her independence ability is definitely not as fast as that of her when she was already in high school.

Yu Weiwu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but I have to send it back as much as possible, and some people have come to check the sentry from time to time in the past few days." ”

"Checkpoint?"

Yu Weiwu obviously didn't want to say more, so he could only pick a few words and say: "It's not a good thing for you to know too much, Liu Lu can only stay here for now, and when the rumor passes, I'll try to see if I can transfer her to another place." ”

Even Yu Weiwu had to go through such a lot of trouble, Yuan Lu finally understood why Qiao Zhengqi was so resolute not to let her interfere in this matter, and the hidden relationship behind this must not be just "not simple".

It seems that those people don't want Liu Lu to die, but to make Liu Lu's life worse than death, so as to relieve the hatred in their hearts.

*********

Yu Weiwu drove Yuan Lu and Liu Lu to a nearby hotel and asked for a room, Yuan Lu washed Liu Lu's head three times in the bathroom, and the water was still a little black.

When she helped Liu Lu wash his whole body, when she came out, there were seven or eight more takeaways on the mahjong table in the room.

"I don't know what you like to eat, I ordered everything, there are rice, noodles, dumplings, wontons and pastries."

Yuan Lu asked Liu Lu to eat first, and he stood behind her to help her dry her hair, and took a comb to help her untie the knot in her hair.

Yu Weiwu leaned against the window, all the while looking at Yuan Lu.

Yuan Lu said: "I used to think that Zhengyang Group was making a show by distributing benefits in front of the school on January 17 every year. Now I suddenly feel that even if it is a show, there may be a little bit of sincerity. ”

The corners of Yu Weiwu's lips showed a very shallow smile: "Show? Sort of, after all, no one is afraid of fame and fortune. ”

He watched her fingers shuttle back and forth between Liu Lu's wet hair, and asked lightly, "Where do you see such sincerity now?" ”

Yuan Lu looked up at him without warning, and found that he was also looking at himself, pretending to naturally withdraw his gaze, and said slowly: "At least from today's point of view, you can be regarded as a good person." ”

Yu Weiwu smiled: "It turns out that being a good person is so simple. ”

Hara raised an eyebrow.

***********

When Liu Lu was sent back to the shed, Yuan Lu found that there was an extra rice cooker, two woks, and an induction cooker in the shed.

Apparently Yu Weiwu asked them to buy it when they were in the hotel.

They were leaving, Liu Lu endured the tears in her eyes and covered her head with a quilt, and the sense of dependence that had just been established made her even more insecure because of the separation.

Yuan Lu was very helpless and anxious, but she had no choice, when she saw the tears on Liu Lu's face, she really understood what it was like to be "addicted" by Qiao Zhengqi. In the face of such weak and sad tears, you will only sink deeper and deeper, and your sense of morality, responsibility, and personal vanity will not allow you to give up halfway.

Since the aid has begun, once the aid is stopped, the secondary damage caused will inevitably deepen the pain to the other party.

Yuan Lu faintly felt that he had done something wrong this time, but it didn't seem to be wrong.

"Where do you live? I'll send you. Yu Weiwu opened the door of the passenger seat and let Yuan Lu go up.

Yuan Lu came back to his senses and said, "Just take me to the bus stop at the intersection, and I'll take the bus back." ”

Yu Weiwu looked at his watch: "Are you sure?" After five o'clock, the bus back to the city is not unexpected, and three hours is short. ”

Yuan Lu wailed: "I can't catch up with dinner at home again, let's go." ”

********

When the car drove to the fourth ring road, it was almost blocked, and the speed of the traffic was comparable to that of ants, and Yuan Lu sat and sat down and somehow gradually slid down, and fell asleep in the passenger seat.

When she opened her eyes again, it was already dark, and she was startled, and the neon flashed outside the window, and it was obvious that the car was still driving on the road, but now the road conditions were much better, and there was not much congestion.

Yuan Lu took out his mobile phone from his bag and looked at it, it was more than eight o'clock and two minutes, and the road had been driving for almost three hours.

"Awake?" Yu Weiwu's hands were on the steering wheel, and the whole person was hidden in the shadows, with a cold aura on his body.

Yuan Lu wiped the corners of his mouth quietly, fortunately he didn't fall asleep, otherwise he would definitely have to look foreign now.

"Well, where are you now?"

"It's almost there, maybe ten minutes or so."

The two of them seemed to be unable to find a topic for a while, and the awkward atmosphere enveloped the entire carriage, Yuan Lu cleared his throat and asked, "Aren't you hungry?" In the afternoon, I ate with Liu Lu, but you didn't eat at all. ”

"I'm hungry, but I'll get you there first."

Yuan Lu's face was hot, shouldn't he politely say that he wasn't hungry under normal circumstances? He's as honest as she is, and he likes to be straight, yes, no, no, and many times it can surprise people.

There was silence in the car again.

This time, Yu Weiwu broke the silence first and asked, "Do you like your current job?" ”

Hara Lu didn't know why he asked, but he also replied honestly: "I don't like it, but at least it's the industry I'm going to be engaged in for a long time to come." ”

"Then don't do it."

The original heron almost bit its tongue, what do you mean not to do it?

"You are not a tame waterfowl, your character is more like an unrestrained and ambitious eagle, I have seen it in the steppes of Mongolia, the kind of fierceness that would rather hit the beak and bleed to death than be tamed by humans, if your character continues to do so, it will cause yourself a lot of unnecessary trouble."

Yuan Lu looked at him dumbfounded, no one would ever persuade a person not to engage in an industry with such a down-looking attitude, not to mention that he was still a layman in this industry.

"If you were Bai Jingxi, I would say the other way around, this industry is very suitable for you."

Yuan Lu secretly rolled his eyes, didn't he know that women hated being compared to men the most? She is herself, and she never needs to be compared to any other woman, and she is disdainful.

Yu Weiwu felt the unhappiness emanating from her, and smiled lowly: "It's really like, even the curvature of the corners of her mouth when she is unhappy is the same." ”

"Like what?"

Like white reverence? Yuan Lu felt that this person was too rude, and obviously saw his displeasure, so he had to provocatively brush the hair on the lion's mouth in front of the tiger.

"Someday you'll know."

“…… So? ”

"Until then, you're going to be fine."

“……”
