"It's so late now, it's a little inappropriate to visit, right?" Lin Feng said with a frown.

"It's okay." Jiang Duxue said. "Lin Feng, you don't know the living habits of the old people. The vast majority of elderly people go to bed late and wake up early. Especially a widowed old man like Shen Ting's mother, I believe she must not have rested yet. ”

"That'...... Then let's go to the old man's house. Lin Feng hesitated for a moment and said. Let's take a look outside, and if the old man is already asleep, we'll go back tomorrow. ”

"You don't seem to want to go?" Jiang Duxue was smart, and she could see Lin Feng's thoughts at once.

"Hmm." Lin Feng didn't deny it, but nodded. "I just think it's a little too cruel for the elderly that we're doing this."

"It's cruel." Jiang Duxue said softly. "Shen Ting's mother is a poor person. She was an orphan since she was a child, and she endured the torture of a painful life for more than ten years before she met a man who treated her wholeheartedly. However, they had only been married for three years before the man died in a car accident. ”

For so many years, she and her daughter Shen Ting have relied on each other. She regarded Shen Ting as the whole of her life and pinned all her hopes on Shen Ting. However, Shen Ting ...... at the age of sixteen" Speaking of this, Jiang Duxue's voice choked up, and she couldn't go on.

She has always considered herself the most tragic person in the world. However, she didn't expect that she was shocked by Shen Ting's story today, and even had an urge to cry!

"Let's go!" Lin Feng took a deep breath, calmed down, and said. "When you get there, I'll do everything, don't intervene."

"Hmm. I listen to you. Jiang Duxue smiled sadly.

The purple cube appeared out of thin air, and Lin Feng and Jiang Duxue disappeared in an instant. The next moment, they appeared in a dilapidated village miles away.

The place is called Suhe Village. It does not belong to the city of Suzhou and Hangzhou, nor does it belong to the countryside, and is located at the junction of urban and rural areas, which is particularly poor. Shen Ting's home is here. After Shen Ting's death, her mother has been living alone in this place.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that there is still such a poor and backward place in Huaxia now." Jiang Duxue muttered.

"Hey!" Lin Feng sighed and walked towards the easternmost part of the village. According to the Public Security Bureau, Shen Ting's mother lives in a thatched hut on the far edge of the eastern part of the village.

In the village of "Wangwang Wang......, there is no other sound except for the occasional sound of dogs and chickens. As far as the eye could see, the village was pitch black, and there was not even a place to light up.

"It's weird." Jiang Duxue said suspiciously. "Even if everyone in the village goes to bed early, it won't even be a home with lights on. It's weird. ”

"Maybe they're too tired from working during the day." Lin Feng said lightly.

At this point, Lin Feng and Jiang Duxue stopped talking. They walked through the dark, silent village until they reached the eastern edge of the village. In the distance, a quaint-looking willow tree came into their eyes. Beneath the willow tree, a hut made of thatch and adobe, stood alone.

A bleak, lonely atmosphere spreads.

"There's a light inside." Jiang Duxue whispered.

"Hmm." Lin Feng nodded. His pupil power was even stronger than Jiang Duxue's, and he had already discovered the faint light coming out of the thatched house. If he wasn't mistaken, it must have been from a low-quality candle.

Quietly, Lin Feng's body rose into the air, observing the thatched house with a pair of Tai Chi Reincarnation Blood Wheel Eyes. Soon after, he landed on the ground and said to Jiang Duxue, "Let's go, let's go in." ”

"Bang!" "Bang bang!"

Lin Feng stepped forward and gently knocked on the mottled wooden door.

"Who?" A hoarse, slow voice came from the thatched hut.

"Grandma, we're in the government department." Lin Feng cleared his throat and said. "We received orders from the city to count some people living below the poverty line so that relief could be distributed. Can we go in? ”

Lin Feng did not reveal his identity. After all, both the Dragon Group and the National Security Bureau are too far away from the lives of the elderly. Comparatively speaking, government workers are more familiar with the elderly, and it is easier for the elderly to believe in them.

"The door is unlocked, you can come in." There was a slight surprise in the old man's hoarse voice.

Lin Feng nodded at Jiang Duxue, and the two of them walked in one after the other. In the thatched house, a withered, emaciated, skinny old man was sitting on the edge of the bed with his head bowed, holding an old photo album in his hand, rubbing it incessantly and with a sad expression.

Lin Feng glanced at the old photo album and immediately recognized that the girl with long hair and exquisite beauty on it was exactly the same as the Shen Ting he saw on the file of the Public Security Bureau!

"Grandma, we are subordinate to ......" Lin Feng stabilized his emotions and said.

"Young man, you don't have to introduce yourself. My old woman doesn't understand it anyway. The old man didn't look up, and said in a hoarse voice. Just ask whatever you want. ”

"Grandma, what's your name?" Lin Feng was stunned and asked.

"Chen Xiumei." The old man said.

"Age."

“43。”

Lin Feng had an incredible expression on his face. Judging from her appearance alone, Chen Xiumei must be at least in her sixties. Who would have thought that she was just 43 years old today. It can be seen how hard the death of her husband and daughter hit her!

"Family members?" Lin Feng took a deep breath and finally asked about the whole.

"One." Chen Xiumei said without any emotion.

"One?" Lin Feng asked with a deliberate look of surprise.

"Hmm. My wife died more than 20 years ago, and now I am the only one left in the family. The old man muttered.

"What about your child?" Lin Feng asked. "For example, the ...... you have in your hand"

"Dead! They're all dead! Chen Xiumei wept silently and wept. They're all dead, and I'm left alone! ”

"How so?" Lin Feng said in a low voice. He didn't want to reopen the old man's scars, but his trip was to completely uncover Shen Ting's true face and find a solution. Even if you don't want to, you can't help it.

"Little one, you're not actually a government worker, and you're not here to give my old woman a social grant. You're actually here for my daughter's business, right? Suddenly, the old man raised his head, looked at Lin Feng with a pair of tear-stained eyes, and asked.

Lin Feng didn't speak. He really didn't want to lie to the poor old man.

"You don't look like government workers at all, because you're so polite to my old woman." The old man said in a hoarse voice. "Over the years, seven or eight groups of government workers have come to me, and everyone is full of vigor and arrogance, where are you so easy to talk to?"

"You don't look like it!"

"Tell me, what do you want to know? As long as my wife knows, I will tell you everything. The old man said.
