Song Cheng was speechless by me, unable to say a word, and rushed out angrily with a pillow, probably going to sleep on the sofa.

I lay on my back, staring at the pitch-black ceiling, my mind a mess.

Somehow, tears fell out.

Early the next morning, Song Cheng asked someone to reissue a phone card for me and gave me a mobile phone to use.

As soon as I plugged in the card and turned it on, Brother Chen's call came in.

My heart instantly lifted and I quickly answered the phone.

Brother Chen said that he had news of my mother and asked me to go to see him with money.

"Where?" I asked excitedly, my fingers trembling slightly.

"The café before, hurry up." He urged.

I got up in a hurry and asked, "I'm asking my mom, where is she?"

"We'll talk when you're here." Brother Chen said a little impatiently, "I made so many calls and you didn't answer, how do I know if you want to give money?" ”

Before I could finish speaking, he hung up the phone.

I'm secretly anxious, but the wound on my stomach hasn't healed yet, and if I go out now, I don't know what it will look like.

When Song Cheng called me to eat, he saw that my face was not good and asked me what was wrong.

"I want to go out." I pursed my lips and whispered, "Can you give it to me?" ”

"Nope." He didn't think about it, and directly rejected me, "What are you doing now?" ”

"No, I have something."

"What's the matter? I'll let Lao Bai do it for you. ”

"No, I have to go by myself." I looked at Song Cheng dissatisfied, and my heart was about to catch fire.

But he just wouldn't let go.

I gritted my teeth and blurted out, "I have news of my mother."

Song Cheng held the plate in his hand and said in surprise: "Isn't your mother already dead, last time"

"This time it's different." I said stiffly, "This time it might be true." I asked someone from the detective company to go to her, and I had to meet over there today, and I had to go there. ”

He placed the plate on the table and sat across from me in silence for a long time before he spoke.

"It's not that I want to hit you, think about it yourself, how likely is it that your mother will survive after jumping into the river, and how likely is it that she will come back to you?"

Song Cheng said the truth, but now that Brother Chen said that he had news, if I didn't see it, it would be absolutely impossible for me to give up.

Even if that is really unlikely, what if it is true?

"I'll send you." After a long time, we were still at a stalemate, and finally he breathed a sigh of relief.

Song Cheng called Uncle Bai over and took me to the café.

Brother Chen really arrived early in the morning, and when he saw that I had brought someone here, his face suddenly turned ugly, and he was dissatisfied: "Why didn't you come alone?"

He asked this very strangely, and I looked at him inexplicably.

Song Cheng's eyes sank, and he glanced directly at him.

"Ahem, please sit down, please take a seat." I guess I realized that my attitude was wrong, and Brother Chen immediately asked us to sit down.

As soon as I sat down, I couldn't wait to ask, "Where's my mom?"

Brother Chen frowned and glanced at me, I panicked, feeling that the situation was not good.

"That's right, your mother doesn't have a place to live, take a break here, rest there." Brother Chen paused and said, "But yesterday afternoon, I found her under an overpass. ”

As he spoke, he pulled out a picture from his bag and handed it to me.

As soon as I saw the person in the photo, my heart immediately became sour.

My mother was huddled alone at the corner of the stairs under the overpass, her clothes in tatters, and her hair in a mess as if she hadn't been washed in days.

My eyes were so hot that I almost cried.

Suddenly, Song Cheng raised his hand and took the photo, and said dissatisfiedly: "There is only one photo?"

Brother Chen was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Just this photo, it took me a lot of effort."

Song Cheng snorted, raised his hand to hold the photo higher, and muttered: "Tsk, a side photo, it's so dirty like this, you can't even see the face clearly, you shouldn't recognize the wrong person, right?"

Brother Chen was obviously choked, and his expression was a little flustered.

He snatched the photo and stuffed it under my nose, his voice unconsciously raised a little, and asked, "Look, do you see if this person is your mother?"

I was excited just now, and I subconsciously felt that this person was, but when Song Cheng said this, I suddenly became suspicious in my heart.

"You take me over, as long as you find her, I'll pay you right away." I stared at the photo for a few seconds, but as Song Cheng said, I couldn't tell the difference at all.

Brother Chen looked at me angrily and said dissatisfiedly: "She has no job or place to live, she runs outside all day, and now that she has passed, she will definitely not be able to find it."

"And what about the little girl next to her? Why didn't I see her? ”

Not only did I not see it this time, but even in the last photo, my mother was the only one.

A stir in my head asked, "Have you been lying to me?"

Brother Chen's face turned pale, and he couldn't speak. Suddenly, he "rubbed" to stand up, grabbed his bag and ran away.

"Stop!" Song Cheng immediately chased after him, and the two of them quickly ran out of the store.

I didn't dare to move, so I sat honestly in my chair and dialed a number for Song Cheng, but he didn't answer.

It took about half an hour for him to come back, his hair was messy, and his clothes were stained with a lot of dirt.

"How?" I was in a hurry.

Song Cheng shook his head: "Let's go, said in the car." Listening to his tone, my heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

He paid for his coffee and carried me into the car.

I sat in the back seat, dazed.

"I asked just now, but he didn't find anyone at all." Almost as soon as he opened his mouth, tears began to fall from my eyes.

Song Cheng said: "He saw the photo you gave him before, found a middle-aged woman to put on makeup, retouched the picture after taking the photo, and took it to cheat money." As for the little girl you mentioned, he hadn't seen it, so"

"Don't talk about it." I tugged my fingers at the cloth on the seat and pursed my lips vigorously.

Originally, this time, I had great hopes, thinking that I would find a reliable person, but in the end, I was deceived.

I raised my hand to wipe my tears, but the more I wiped it, the more I wiped it, the more angry I became, and the whole person was about to explode.

I couldn't help but cry out loud: "Why did he lie to me? For that money, just to me, I"

I felt so bad I wanted to pound my chest.

When I thought that in order to raise money, I humbly knelt on the ground and picked up the banknotes thrown by Lin Zihan one by one, and I felt that it was not worth it.

In the end, the money went into the hands of a scammer.

Song Cheng leaned over, reached out and took my head into his arms, raised his hand and rubbed it on top of my head.

I grabbed the clothes on his chest in discomfort and said incoherently, "He said he could find it."

Song Cheng patted me on the shoulder, put his mouth on the top of my hair, and whispered, "It's because he has no ability."

I continued: "He also took my money."

"Don't worry, if you beat him up just now, your money is definitely not enough for medical expenses."

But I was still very uncomfortable, and my heart felt like a big stone had been pressed, and I couldn't help but pinch him in the chest.

Song Cheng hissed, hurriedly grabbed my fingers, and snorted, "Let go."

I withdrew my hand in disdain, and arched my head over his arm, rubbing tears and snot all over him.

Song Cheng gasped and furrowed his eyebrows fiercely.

He took out the paper in disgust, wiped the sleeve of his shirt and wiped it, and the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely.

I raised my hand to wipe away my tears and looked at him with some weakness.

"I'll settle accounts with you when I go back." Song Cheng frightened.

I kept my head shut and didn't speak, my heart was empty, and I couldn't mention anything.

He said he was going to settle the score, and I wasn't afraid.

Song Cheng took me back to the small apartment, I didn't eat at noon, and I didn't have much appetite at night, so I didn't talk to it.

He asked me back and forth several times, and I shook my head and said I just wanted to sleep.

In the end, I drank only two anti-inflammatory pills.

After Song Cheng went to the bathroom to take a shower, he walked in with a pillow in his arms.

My mind cleared up and I wondered, "What are you doing?"

He looked at me with a tiger face and said in a muffled voice, "Sleep." Then he threw the pillow and turned over.

I closed my eyes and didn't speak to him.

But he leaned in towards me, leaned sideways, and whispered, "I'll tell you about my mother."

I opened my eyes and looked at him, and I saw that his face was not very good-looking, and his expression was a little lonely.

He said softly in a low voice, "It's not a good story, don't cry after listening to it."
