Because of the previous case of the psychopathic offender, Li Jing has been frowning lately, and in order to make her happier, I decided to take him to my father's hometown on the weekend to change her mood. Having learned the hard lesson of getting lost in my hometown several times before, I would have done a good job of navigating in advance, and it was much more reliable than knowing the road myself, starting from our city, and we arrived at my father's hometown after 1 and a half hours. Although Dad's hometown is a county town famous for making clothes, aside from the big factories, there is a small workshop for making clothes in almost every slightly larger yard. Some of my father's relatives in his hometown have opened their own small workshops, but some of them still focus on agriculture and live a traditional life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

This time I went back to my father's home in the hometown of a distant second brother, the second brother and the second sister-in-law were very sincere, and they heard on the phone that we were going back to live for a few days, and happily waited for us at the entrance of the village early. Because I just renovated the house this year, and bought a homestead that my neighbor has been idle to build a new house, so compared with previous years, the accommodation conditions this year are really much better. We were placed in the west wing.

In fact, the reason why I considered coming to my hometown to recuperate for a few days was because of something that my father inadvertently mentioned. When I went home for dinner last weekend, my father mentioned that there was a young lady in my hometown who seemed to be struggling about some things recently, and the family asked her, but she refused to say, so my father suggested that I go to talk to this young lady and help his family find out. This young lady and I are quite familiar with each other, and we only call her young lady because she is only a few months older than me. When I was in college, I came to study in our city and stayed at my house, and we have been close ever since. The young lady has a good brain, has good grades in college, and did not graduate until graduate school, and when she graduated, she was lucky to be selected by a very powerful company and went to another city to start a new life. We're still in touch, but we're a lot less connected than we've been. When I came back to my hometown, I was quite happy to think of being able to play with my little sister again.

After lunch at the second uncle's house at noon, Li Jing and I went to find the young lady under the pretext of going out for a stroll.

"I'll tell you, I had a good relationship with my little sister before, and every time I was sad, I would go to chat with my little sister, and my little sister was super gentle." I reminisce about the time when I was in college with my young lady.

"You haven't been talking to me for so long, what is the name of this young lady who has been praised by you? Also, it seems that you have always been very troublesome to others. Li Jingyou mocked me, it seems that I have the intention to sarcastically I should be in a good mood now. However, why did he scold me, I still have to care about his feelings, I cried in my heart.

Forget it, for the sake of him who has been unhappy recently, I won't worry about him for the time being: "The young lady's name is Zhu Mu, when he was young, the fortune teller said that she was short of water in the five elements, and she was a wooden person, so her father named her the word Mu, hoping that she would be able to worry about food and clothing in the future." But seriously, the name is really good, oh, this young lady has had a smooth ride since she was a child, and her popularity is also very good. ”

"If you go too well, you may be more easily defeated by setbacks." Li Jing is really disappointed.

"I heard the ** naked jealousy."

Li Jing sneered: "Then tell me why your young lady is worried at home, and let your father send you over thousands of miles to solve her problems." ”

Uh, I'm really speechless, so Li Jing, can you not be so choking when you speak? I complained to myself.

Talking we came to the young lady's house, the young lady recently finished a very big project, because of the previous overtime saved a lot of vacation, this time is to ask the company for leave to go back to the hometown and parents to live for a few days, but listen to the dad last week's chat, the young lady also went back to the hometown to relax.

I knocked on the door of the three uncles' house, and there was a dog barking inside, which sounded very fierce, it should be the barking of the Chinese pastoral dog Nini raised by the three uncles, and soon someone came to answer the door, and when I opened the door, I saw that it was Sister Zhu Mu. Zhu Mu was startled when he saw me, but immediately gave me a big hug happily: "Why are you here?" There was unconcealed happiness in her eyes.

I pointed behind me: "I miss my hometown, so I'll come over with my friends to have a look." This is my friend Li Jing. ”

The young lady glanced at Li Jing, said hello, and after beckoning us in, she pulled me aside and said to me with a teasing face, "It's your boyfriend, right?" ”

I shook my head embarrassedly: "Sister, you think too much." ”

Sister Zhu Mu obviously didn't believe what I said, and still had a smile on her face, 'I know if you don't have to explain'. I sighed and didn't explain, it just got darker and darker anyway.

Led us into the house, Sister Xiao Mu made us tea to drink, and finally talked about Dad's task from their respective work: "Sister Xiao Mu, I heard that you have been doing well recently, what troubles do you have?" ”

Sister Xiao Mu's hand shook a little, and some tea was spilled on the table, she didn't seem to want to talk about this topic: "I'm sorry, I'll go find a rag to wipe it." ”

While she was holding the rag, I turned my attention to Li Jing for help, and whispered to him, "What should I do?" She didn't seem to want to talk to us. ”

Li Jing looked at the magazine in his hand casually: "Then you don't say no?" ”

"How can you not ask, this is Dad's task." If it weren't for the fear that Sister Xiao Mu would hear it, I really wanted to teach him a good lesson.

Li Jing put down the magazine in his hand: "If you ask, she won't say, if you are tired of asking, she will perfunctory you, and even avoid this question, or you can't complete your uncle's task, so it makes no sense for you to continue." ”

I was just about to refute something, when Sister Xiao Mu came over with a rag. She glanced at me and Li Jing, as if she felt the burning anger of the two of us, and she slowly spoke after wiping the table: "It's my parents who asked me to ask me, right?" ”

I didn't react for a while, but soon I picked up her words: "It's not, it's just, haha, you know, the three uncles have been curious about whether you have a boyfriend recently, let me come and ask." Ha ha. I scratched my head, trying to figure out how to avoid Sister Xiao Mu's questioning.

"If it's like this, it's okay to call, so as not to trouble you and the big detective you brought to come and ask, right?" The meaning of Sister Xiao Mu's words suddenly made me feel a sense of shame that was debunked.

I don't know why Li Jing seemed to be suddenly interested after hearing this, he put down the magazine in his hand and said: "You guessed right in the first part, Xiaozhi really didn't just ask you if you were in love this time, but in the latter part, we didn't come here to bother you for this matter." ”

may not have expected that Li Jing, a wooden man who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth with such a long list of rebuttals, Sister Xiao Mu was a little stunned for a while, until I shook my hand in front of her eyes, she reacted, and said a little wilted: "I didn't mean that just now." I've been a little irritated by my parents' questions recently, so I want to speculate wildly, Xiaozhi, I'm sorry, I just said something too much to you. ”

I hurriedly waved my hand: "No, it's me who asked you about your unhappiness." ”

After sitting for a while, maybe the matter just now made everyone have a little estrangement in their hearts, and any of the topics behind it seemed to be unable to continue, so we said goodbye after finding a reason, before leaving, I still made up my mind to turn my head and say to Sister Xiao Mu that I had been thinking about how to speak: "Sister Xiao Mu, if you have any troubles, please be sure to tell me, although I may not be able to help you solve it, but it is good to find someone to talk about and relieve the depression in my heart." The three uncles and aunts are very worried about you. ”

Sister Xiao Mu still insisted on shaking her head and saying that she had nothing to do, maybe it was really the truth that even I couldn't tell sù, I sighed and prepared to leave, and as soon as I stepped out of the door with one foot, I heard Li Jing's voice sound behind me: "Some things, if you stay in the stage of distress forever, you will never be able to solve them." In addition to crime, many things in this world can be remedied. ”

What the hell is Li Jing talking about, I turned my head and saw that Sister Xiao Mu's face became bad, probably realizing that the little master's affection was wrong, and the little dog Nini also let out a 'woo' roar from her throat. "Nini, don't scream." Sister Xiao Mu stopped the restless puppy in the cage in time. I glared at Li Jing, and while apologizing to Sister Xiao Mu, I pulled Li Jing out of the door.

"Really, what are you talking about?" On the way back, I didn't care about Li Jing's current mood and began to criticize him.

Li Jing didn't react to my tantrum, he frowned and shook his head for a while before interrupting my chattering criticism: "Don't you think it's strange? ”

"What's weird? I think it's the new you just now, it's very strange. I replied a little angrily.

"Don't you wonder why I suddenly interjected in your chat strangely?" Li Jing asked me.

Yes, why did he suddenly treat Sister Xiao Mu so strangely, I looked at Li Jing with a puzzled face.

Li Jing looked at it and slowly explained to me: "A person's emotional fluctuations can be a good interpretation of his current situation. A short-tempered person suddenly stopped responding to the provocations around him, indicating that he was suffering some kind of fatal blow that could make him stumble and behave differently than before. But when she recovers from the blow, he will be as aggressive as before. In the same way, when an normally mild-mannered person suddenly becomes mean and hurtful because of something, then there must be something strange in the matter. Think about what you said about Zhu Mu's usual appearance, and when you recalled his appearance when you made up reasons to try to trick her, don't you think your little sister Mu seems to be a little abnormal? ”

After listening to Li Jing's words, it seems that Sister Xiao Mu's reaction is indeed too exaggerated, but we still haven't asked anything! So what's the use of just knowing weirdness?

It's a big complaint about me, Li Jing glanced at me unhurriedly, and said confidently: "Don't worry, anyway, it won't be long before she takes the initiative to come to you and tell you what you want to know." So don't bother yourself here! ”
