The three of them went straight into the east room, which was dim and old, the windows seemed to have not been opened for a long time, and even the air was filled with the smell of dust and tobacco. Xu Juan just said that it was true that she had been here when she was a child, but it had been too long, and she had no impression of it here, including this old man, but when she saw the wooden cabinet and stool that were as old as her childhood, and the uneven ground, her childhood memories vaguely remembered it, and even the pungent smell of tobacco was vaguely familiar, and she couldn't help but have a sour nose.

On the wall hung a mirror and a wooden picture frame with black-and-white photographs of people she didn't recognize. In the corner of the frame, there is also a two-inch color photograph of a little girl with a ponytail and beautiful eyebrows.

"Second aunt, whose child is this? How do I not recognize? Xu Juan asked, pointing to the photo.

"That's Huanzi. You two don't stand still, come, get on the kang! The old lady replied lightly, and warmly beckoned them to go to the kang, and then took out two handfuls of melon seeds from a woven bag in the kang and put them on the kang. Xu Juan and Li Yunfeng sat down on the edge of the kang, chatted with her for a while, and then asked casually, "Second aunt, you also know, my sister-in-law has never contacted us since she remarried, I came back this time, I want to go around with relatives, didn't my sister-in-law take a child with me?" That's my own nephew! I miss him. Cong Cong was only four or five years old when he left, and now he is in his twenties, right?! ”

The old lady was a little confused. Puzzled, he asked her, "Your sister-in-law?" Who is your sister-in-law? ”

"My sister-in-law is Dong Yuxia, Daxia!" Xu Juan said with a smile.

But the old lady's face changed suddenly. looked at them with vigilance, but fortunately, Li Yunfeng and Xu Juan were mentally prepared, so they pretended to be ignorant and looked at her with a smile.

"Don't look at it. All dead, almost twenty years old. The old lady looked out the window with two eyes and said quietly.

"Who died? What about the boy Satoshi? Zicong is also dead? Xu Juan shook her arm and asked in disbelief.

The old lady sighed. Nodding.

Xu Juan let go of her hand abruptly, closed her eyes, and two lines of tears flowed.

The old lady smiled blankly. Stretched out her dry palm to wipe her tears, "Don't cry, you've been dead for so many years, what are you crying about?" ”

"Second aunt. Sue me where they live. When he was alive, I didn't take care of him. Now I'm going to go to his grave and burn two pieces of paper for him. Xu Juan wiped her tears and said softly.

"How can the little baby have a grave? You go and burn it for his mother, both of them are together. I'll find the address for you, this is still given to me by Daxia when she got married, I have to find it. The old lady trembled and opened the wooden box on the kang and went to the bottom of the box.

Xu Juan and Li Yunfeng glanced at each other and waited quietly on the side.

The figure at the door flickered, and the brisk voice of a young girl came. "Grandma, I'm coming back to bring you food!" With the sound of light footsteps. A tall girl wearing a red short-sleeved top and blue trousers, tied in a ponytail, ran in with two lunch boxes.

Xu Juan looked at her dress, it was clear which small restaurant waiter, who was this?

When the girl entered the door, she found that there were two outsiders in the house.

"Grandma, are we here? Who are these two? She smiled brightly at Xu Juan and Li Yunfeng, and then ran to the old man's side and helped her fold the clothes that she had turned out.

"Huanzi, aren't you going to work? Why did you run back again? Hurry back! I'm afraid your boss will have to talk about you again! The old lady took her hand and pushed her out.

"Then I'll go first! The rice is on the pot for you, don't forget to eat it! I'm trying to get back early tonight! Huanzi's popping sound grew farther and farther away, and Xu Juan saw through the front window that she was riding a half-used bicycle.

After a while, the old lady came into the house tremblingly, and took out a cloth bag from the box, which contained some envelopes, stamps, and some half-worn pieces of paper. She picked it out for a long time, took out one and handed it to Xu Juan, "I don't know how to read, can you see if it's this?!" ”

Xu Juan took the piece of paper and saw that her sister-in-law's name and address were scrawled on it, as well as a phone number.

"It's this, thank you, second aunt!" She carefully put away the pieces of paper, and said goodbye to Li Yunfeng after a few greetings.

Although she didn't have much hope, Xu Juan still called according to the call, and sure enough, it was already an empty number. Fortunately, with that address, they should be able to find the place where Dong Yuxia remarried back then.

Nowadays, the traffic in the countryside is also extending in all directions, they waited for a while on the side of the road and waited for a bus bound for a neighboring county, two people got into the car, Xu Juan did not say a word in the car, locked her brows and looked at the rapidly retreating buildings outside the window.

Li Yunfeng saw that her face was very bad, so he grabbed her shoulders and let her lean on his shoulders. It seems that since the reunion, the two have become accustomed to snuggling up to each other like this.

"Before I came here, I had a glimmer of hope, maybe my sister-in-law was gone, but there was still my little nephew; But listening to my second aunt say this, my last relative is no longer there. I'm really afraid that I won't be able to find the person who killed Xiao Ming this time, but it will confirm that I have become a loner completely. Xu Juan's eyes were red and she sighed tiredly.

"How so? Even if they're all gone. You will also get married in the future, and you will also have your own children, which are all your relatives. Li Yunfeng comforted her in a low voice.

Xu Juan raised her head, Li Yunfeng was caught off guard and met her gaze, the two people with their own hearts invariably had a moment of embarrassment, Li Yunfeng smiled at her a little unnaturally, Xu Juan turned her head as if nothing happened, still looking out the window.

The sun stole half a day of leisure, and in the afternoon, he wrapped his long hair and Yaoyao to fish in the river. Changfa found a deep and muddy place to put the fish net down, and sat by the river with Yaoyao and waited for the fish to take the bait. The sun can't sit still. I chatted with them on the shore for half an hour, and I didn't see the long hair have the intention of netting. She simply pulled up her trousers and prepared to go straight down to the river to catch them.

Long hair pulled her back and laughed. "If you want to go down the river, you have to take off your sandals and put on your long rain boots, otherwise you won't be able to pull out your feet if you get stuck in the river."

"It's so troublesome!" Sunshine threw off his sandals, put on heavy rain boots, and walked awkwardly into the creek with heavy steps, the water in which was not deep, just above the sun's knees. As soon as she stepped inside, the water became even murkier. The so-called water is clear, there are no fish, and it is easy to touch fish when the water is mixed. She reached out and scratched at the bottom of the water, grabbing a handful of slippery mud.

Yaoyao and her long hair were watching straight by the river. Sunshine didn't care, she just wondered, "Long hair." How is it smooth under the creek? Doesn't it grow aquatic plants? ”

Li Changfa smiled disdainfully, "How deep is this water, and it's not a fish pond, how can there be so many aquatic plants?!" ”

"Fish ponds? Isn't there a fish pond next to Xu Juan's garden?! Sunshine suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he hurriedly climbed out of the creek, and ran to Xu Juan's house without even having time to change his shoes.

"Sunshine, you didn't have the idea of hitting her fish pond, did you? That's not going to work! Her fish pond has already been contracted to Lao Liu's family! You can't just catch any fish there! Yaoyao was running with her sandals on her heels.

"I don't touch fish, I just go and see!" The sun turned back. Explain it to her.

Yaoyao pouted unhappily, "Her family just finished the funeral." What do you go there to see? I'm not going, I'm afraid! ”

Li Changfa wanted to go, but the eldest brother asked him to watch the sun come, but when he saw that his daughter-in-law was unhappy, he didn't want to go.

"Sunshine, you can go and see, but you must not go into the water! The water is so deep that it's not fun to fall into. He reassured.

"It's okay, I can swim!" Sunshine shook off a sentence and ran away.

Li Changfa stood by the river and thought about it left and right, not at ease: the children in the city didn't know how dangerous the pond was, the inside of the pond was pot-bottomed, and it was very shallow from the shore.

"Yaoyao, you said that Sunshine is really just going to see, and won't go down to fish or swim when you're happy?" He asked Yaoyao worriedly.

Yaoyao's eyes flashed, her nose wrinkled and thought for a moment, and she said hesitantly, "She, I'm really not sure!" If she really falls into the water, it's over, long hair, you chase after her, don't let her go into the water! ”

As soon as she said this, Li Changfa was also scared, "Then I'll go, you go home first!" He pulled his legs and ran to Xu Juan's house, scolding the sunshine in his heart while running, this little girl, there is no time to worry!

The sunlight passed through the big iron gate of Xu Juan's house, slipped into the back garden, and ran to the edge of the fish pond. The pond is circular and large, with the shore more than a meter higher than the surrounding ground, and the sloping earthen dam around the pond is overgrown with weeds, as if it has not been taken care of for a long time. She slowly went down to the fish pond along the earthen dam, and while walking, she removed the weeds and silt to check carefully, and walked through the water below her calf, she suddenly felt as if there was a hard thing under her feet, she leaned down and stretched out her hand to pull out this thing, and only to see clearly in her hand was that it was a men's slipper covered with mud! No one will come to fish in slippers, and there are only two sisters and brothers in the old Xu family, Xu Juan and Xu Ming, so this slipper is most likely Xu Ming's! She suddenly remembered the pool mode in the game, which was full of tangled aquatic weeds, pulling zombies into the water one by one.

"What are you doing? Hurry up! Li Changfa hurriedly ran over, he didn't shout, it was okay, he shouted, scared the sun who was contemplating, she subconsciously pulled her legs and wanted to run, but she didn't expect the boots to sink into the mud, and the shoes were pulled out. When she suddenly found out that the person who came was long-haired and not the owner of the fish pond, her body had already planted her body into the fish pond with an unstable center of gravity!
