Under the magnolia tree, a rattan chair swayed rhythmically, Du Lao glanced at the people who entered the courtyard, closed his eyes and continued to fan the pu fan in his hand.

This is the second time I have come to this courtyard, and it is also the first time I have met Xue Chen's grandfather. I was concerned about Xiao Ting's safety, and I didn't care much about Old Du's indifference, but Mrs. Du next to me looked at my wife with disgust

After a glance, he led me into the old lady's room.

Xiao Ting was lying on a bamboo mat, her eyes closed and her face turned blue. I wanted to get close to her, but the old lady sitting next to me waved her hand to stop me.

"How is she?"

Xue Chen walked up to me and whispered: "Just now Wang Man forcibly got on Xiao Ting's body, fortunately, the time is short, she has no malicious intentions, it's not a big deal, she has damaged a little yang energy, just rest for a few days!" ”

"The yin qi in her body has not yet dissipated, your physique is different, don't approach it for the time being, so as not to cause conflicts." The old lady added.

I didn't dare to step forward again, for fear of affecting Xiao Ting, so I could only look at her anxiously. Mrs. Du came over and patted my arm, and after a while, she said, "It's late, I cleaned up the two rooms, you guys are early."

Let's rest! ”

"The old lady must be tired today, if she has something to say tomorrow!" Xue Chen walked over and hugged the old lady, then picked up Xiao Ting and walked out. I also followed Mrs. Du out of the house, and she opened her mouth and shouted:

"Xiaochen, it's so late, don't go back, sleep with Huzi!"

"Hmm!" Xue Chen answered and glanced at me before entering the house.

I was placed in the room next to Xiao Ting, the husked wall paint on the wall will peel off at the slightest touch, and there is a faded portrait of Grandpa Mao on the wall, a wooden bed, a large black wardrobe, and a

A log table fills the room.

After Mrs. Du went out, I sat on the edge of the bed and fell into deep self-blame - if I hadn't asked Xiao Ting to pretend to be "Wang Man", she wouldn't have done this. Thinking of the way she had resisted before, she was now faint

I couldn't wake up, and the guilt in my heart turned into tears and dripped down. I'm not a good cryer, but I seem to be crying a lot lately!

After a long time, I got up and walked to the door and turned off the light, the room was suddenly dark, I lit up the screen of my mobile phone, put down the white and yellow mosquito net, and lay in this small world, tossing and turning, and did not sleep all night......

A new day begins with a long crowing of a rooster. The sky was white, so I walked lightly and walked under the magnolia tree in the yard to lean against it and empty myself.

"Crunch" A door was pushed open, and Du Lao walked out shirtless. He saw someone getting up earlier than himself, put a white vest on his shoulder, walked over and asked, "Little girl, why don't you sleep more?" ”

I stood up straight and replied respectfully, "I can't sleep, get up and get some fresh air!" You're up early, too! ”

Du Lao had a smile on his face: "I'm so old, I feel less!" Why don't you go out and run two laps with me? ”

To be honest, I am not in the mood to accompany the old man for morning exercise now, but I am not very good at refusing people, so I nodded and followed him out of the yard.

This generation has many old houses, many alleys, and many people who exercise in the morning. I followed Du Lao for a long time, and I saw an artificial lake.

"Let's go, run around that lake twice, Bibi!" Du Lao stretched out his hand and pointed forward.

I didn't speak, I followed with my head bored, and by the time I ran the second lap, I was already a big step behind Du Lao. Looking at the old man in front of me who was slowing down and waiting for me, I took a deep breath and picked up speed to catch up.

After two laps, Du Lao still looked calm and relaxed, he looked at me with a smile and said, "Young man, you have to exercise more!" ”

I was a little out of breath, raised my head and smiled awkwardly at Du Lao.

"Let's go, let's go back!" Old Du waved his hand, turned around and ran again.

"Whew!" I exhaled softly and followed.

When I returned to his house with Mr. Du, Mrs. Du was standing at the door urging: "Xiaohu, if you don't go to school, you will be late!" ”

In the courtyard, Xiaohu took Xue Chen's hand, and said with a pout: "Brother Chen said that he would take me to Fangte to play on the weekend!" ”

Xue Chen pretended to be serious and said, "Remember to check the test paper carefully after it is done!" ”

"Got it!" Xiaohu trotted towards the gate and shouted, "Grandpa, I'm going to school!" ”

Du Lao smiled dotingly and watched his little grandson go out, but before looking at Xue Chen, I found that his face suddenly fell.

"Grandpa morning!" Xue Chen called out respectfully.

Du Lao didn't answer, and walked to the house with his hands behind his back. I looked at this scene in wonder, I just thought that this old man was very kind, why did he suddenly change his appearance now?

Xue Chen was obviously used to his grandfather's attitude, and came over to me and asked, "Why are you sweating!" ”

I smiled embarrassedly: "I just went to morning exercise with your grandfather, whew!" ”

Xue Chen felt a little lost in his heart at the moment, but he didn't show it, and said, "You go wash your face, you can have breakfast!" ”

"Oh!" I suddenly found that my mood was much calmer, and the haze that had accumulated overnight seemed to have dissipated.

After breakfast, I stood outside the room where Xiao Ting was resting, hesitating whether to go in, Xue Chen followed and asked, "Why don't you go in?" ”

I looked at Xue Chen and asked, "When will she wake up?" ”

"Everyone's physique is different, some people recover in a while, some people may be three or five days, or even longer. But don't worry, the old lady said she was fine, so wait! ”

"Hmm!" I walked to the small flower beds in the courtyard, which were made of cement bricks and covered with thick moss on the four walls more than a meter high. I looked around and looked at this courtyard for the first time, it was ordinary

, there is nothing special about it, but I feel that living in such a place is not so impetuous.

"I told Zhang Wenbin last night to find a way to use his actions to win Wang Man's understanding." I paused and continued: "Although he coaxed her into signing an insurance policy and recovering the deductions, these things are indeed fraudulent, but put them aside

Feelings aside, Wang Man's death was indeed an accident......"

"It can only be seen if his determination to repent is enough!"

"Hmm!" I hesitated and asked Xue Chen, "Is this matter over?" ”

Xue Chen walked up to me, also sat on the edge of the flower bed, and asked me, "Lin Shan, are you mentally prepared?" ”

"What preparation?" I turned my head to look at him.

"After this incident, perhaps, maybe there are more complicated and terrible things than this. You can face it now, and that's a good start, but then you have to learn to protect yourself! ”

"Protect yourself?" I looked up at the sky, the sun was coming out of the clouds, and I asked, "What do you mean, am I going to deal with them?" Then I'...... Will it work? ”

Xue Chen smiled lightly: "I think your heart quality is not bad, and you have a sense of justice, but you are a little ......"

"What?" I turned my head to glare at him.

"Hehe, nothing! Let's go! ”

"Where are you going?" I looked at him in amazement.

"The old lady has finished breakfast, and I will take you in to learn from the teacher!" Xue Chen said, raising a bright smile, which made me stunned.
