In the distance, she saw a man smoking in front of the door of a house.

The B&Bs in this small village have their own characteristics, and they are basically farmhouses, and every house grows fruits and vegetables in their yards. Shang Xiaoyu didn't expect that this uncle, who looked like a tough guy, would live a nourishing life like a farmer in the countryside.

The car was getting closer and closer to the house, and the man smoking at the door was becoming clearer. He wears a tank top, cropped pants, and a pair of flip-flops on his feet, which is full of homely flavor.

Niu Da saw that Geng Qingguo just wanted to speak, but was stopped by him with a look, and when he saw a young woman getting down from the passenger seat, he was puzzled but understood something, so he casually called Brother to say hello.

Shang Xiaoyu looked at the small courtyard full of novelties, and jumped inside, sure enough, his yard was full of chili peppers, as well as her mother's favorite watermelon.

After looking around, Shang Xiaoyu's smile suddenly froze, and she stared at the middle of the courtyard and was stunned.

"Let's go, go in and have a drink and rest, and then come out and pick vegetables." Geng Qingguo guided her inside.

Shang Xiaoyu subconsciously stayed away from him, trying his best to pull out a smile and follow behind slowly.

"Da Ge, you're back, when are you going to the casino, my hands are itchy." Meng Xuan was the first to see Niu Da who was smoking a cigarette and walking in, and before Niu Da could speak, he saw Geng Qingguo behind him again, and was about to say hello, but when he saw the small figure following him, his words were all stuck in his throat.

Shang Xiaoyu's eyes were also widened, but her brain was racing when she saw another person in the room, and she guessed an answer in her heart.

She went to the house and sat down, and said, "Uncle, they are all your workers, so you can ask him to help me pick vegetables." Shang Xiaoyu pointed at Meng Xuan, his smile full of pride.

"Okay." Geng Qingguo said to Meng Xuan, "Xiao Ming, you go and help Miss Shang pick a basket of chili peppers and pick two watermelons." ”

"Hey, uncle, you're so good, can I ask her to take me to the grape trellis in the back to play, I haven't seen it yet." Shang Xiaoyu's excited eyes lit up.

Geng Qingguo didn't mind, nodded and let Xiao Xiaofei take Shang Xiaoyu to the grape trellis.

Niu Da was puzzled, and asked tentatively: "Brother Xiang, ...... she"

"The girl who accidentally bumped into her on the road is not good if she makes a big fuss and goes to the police station, so it's nothing to dismiss her." Geng Qingguo looked at the three people who were busy working outside, and after giving Niu Da a look, the two entered the house to discuss important matters.

From the house, you can clearly see the location of the grape trellis, and you can naturally observe Geng Qingguo's house from the grape trellises. However, the angle here can only see Niu Da following Geng Qingguo into the house, and nothing else can be seen.

Shang Xiaoyu looked at the absent-minded woman beside her, as soon as she came to the grape trellis, she kept staring in a certain direction, and the purpose couldn't be more obvious. If she hadn't worn a straw hat to shade the sun and also covered her vision, I'm afraid that her surveillance would have been discovered a long time ago.

"I didn't expect to meet like this." Shang Xiaoyu was the first to break the silence.

"What's the relationship between the two of you, accomplices?" Xiao Xiaofei questioned.

"Miss, I'm not your prisoner."

"And what do you mean by being around a criminal?"

Shang Xiaoyu saw that Xiao Xiaofei was not aggressive, and said: "Are you only like this to me, or have you not changed your temper, can you restrain yourself when you enter this industry." But you really look like a little woman in your thirties. After finishing speaking, Shang Xiaoyu didn't forget to sarcastically mock her.

Xiao Xiaofei knew that it was pointless to argue any longer, so she simply kept silent and stopped arguing with her, but Shang Xiaoyu could see that she was pouring all her anger on these grapes on the top of her head.

From the poppies planted in the yard that Shang Xiaoyu saw when she first entered the door, to Meng Xuan, who had been missing for many days, appearing here, to the half-sister who had become a policeman standing in front of her, she didn't have to think to guess what kind of person the uncle who brought her back was.

Thinking of Wan Shuang, who was sitting in a drug rehabilitation center in absentia from the graduation ceremony, Shang Xiaoyu felt contempt for the sympathy he had just felt when he saw the announcement of Geng Qingguo's death.

Although it seems that Shang Xiaoyu and Xiao Xiaofei get along well from a distance, and occasionally talk and laugh or bite their ears to whisper, Meng Xuan, who is in the watermelon field, has always had a heart hanging.

A curious, doubtful heart.

He was sure that the two men were definitely old acquaintances. They don't get along with each other at all because of the distance they had when they first met, but they don't have the intimacy of old friends, so he maintains an incomprehensible attitude towards the relationship between the two of them.

After several busy work, the vegetables and fruits were picked, and Geng Qingguo and Niu Da also came out on time as if they were pinching their watches.

"Or, stay for lunch." Although Geng Qingguo said this to Shang Xiaoyu, he didn't seem to really have any intention of keeping her.

Shang Xiaoyu was also interested, but he was mainly afraid of the authority of his mother at home, so he excused himself and said, "No need, I have to go back to make lunch for my mother." When she said this, she also glanced at Xiao Xiaofei meaningfully, who was obviously dissatisfied with her.

"That's okay, I'll let Ah Niu send you back." Geng Qingguo instructed Niu Da to send Shang Xiaoyu back.

Shang Xiaoyu didn't refuse, just got up with a smile and quietly threw something to the ground. Before leaving, he gave Meng Xuan a look and left happily in the car.

The two drove away, and Meng Xuan took a bottle of cold beer and sat lazily on the sofa to enjoy. As soon as he approached him, he felt something smack on the soles of his feet.

It's a wallet.

Geng Qingguo glanced at it, turned his head to look in the direction where Niu Da and Shang Xiaoyu left, and said, "Xiao Ming, send it over quickly, it shouldn't have gone far." ”

"Okay." Meng Xuan picked up the wallet, pedaled on the tricycle in the yard and chased it out.

"Xiaoxiao, do you think this tricycle can catch up with the car?" When Geng Qingguo asked this, Xiao Xiaofei deliberately glanced at him.

In these words...... There seems to be something to say.

*

The car swayed on the rugged dirt road, which brought out a lot of memories of Shang Xiaoyu.

She remembered that night six years ago, it was her sister Xiaofei, who is now the woman named Xiao Xiaofei, who called her and asked her to go to the street. On the phone, she breathed heavily, seemed to be running, and her anxious tone made her get into the car and run to the street despite the heavy rain at night.

Just when she got out of the car, she vaguely saw Xiao Fei who had just run across the road, she just cared about calling her name to catch up, but she didn't care about the danger that the car that violated the traffic rules was about to hit her head-on at night in the rain.

The sound of the brakes was sharp and wanted to puncture the eardrums, and it cut through the natural barrier formed by the heavy rain, sending the sound to the ears of everyone around it.

Before darkness hit, she vaguely saw that the man in the car was covered in a cloud of black smoke, and she couldn't see his face clearly. But she saw the girl across the road wearing the same school uniform as her, turned around and walked into a shopping mall and disappeared from her sight.

The pedestrians who gathered around were panicked and at a loss, and all they could do before the ambulance came was to hold an umbrella for her, and someone vaguely heard the word "Xiaofei" from her mouth.

But no one heard clearly, no one understood, only she experienced what kind of betrayal she saw with her own eyes before she lost consciousness.

Niu Da saw that Shang Xiaoyu beside him had a solemn face, and he didn't say anything all the way, compared with the lively and cheerful appearance in front of Geng Qingguo just now.

"Wait!" Shang Xiaoyu suddenly opened his mouth and startled Niu Da, he braked urgently, and both of them leaned forward because of inertia.

"What's wrong?" Niu Da asked.

Shang Xiaoyu raised his bag and said, "My wallet was left there just now." ”

"Then why don't you go back and get it?"

"It's too troublesome to turn around, why don't I run back and get it, you wait for me here, we haven't driven far anyway." Shang Xiaoyu unbuckled his seat belt, "Don't worry, I'm a sprint champion at school." ”

Without waiting for Niu Da to say anything more, Shang Xiaoyu had already run out three or four meters away like an arrow from the string, and he had no choice but to get out of the car and light a cigarette and wait for her to come back.

Shang Xiaoyu ran all the way for a few minutes, and when he looked back, he saw that Niu Da's shadow had long been gone, so he immediately stopped and gasped for breath. She adjusted her breathing while walking back gracefully, and muttered to herself: "I just said that I am a sprint champion, these few hundred meters are small." However, how can this kid not come back. ”

was complaining, and gradually, Shang Xiaoyu seemed to hear the sound of "clang" coming from the front. Shang Xiaoyu stopped and looked at it, only to see a man wearing gray T five-point pants, riding a tricycle crookedly towards her.

Meng Xuan rode to Shang Xiaoyu's side and stopped, winked at her and motioned for her to get in the car, Shang Xiaoyu pouted in disgust while helping him sit in the tricycle.

"Lao Hu called me before and said that you had something to do recently, it turned out that you went to the countryside to live a small life, and there is a beautiful woman with you, are you very cool."

"Miss, don't talk about it, aren't you going to explain the current situation?" Meng Xuan pedaled the car hard, and had to fight back against Shang Xiaoyu's ridicule.

Shang Xiaoyu said lightly: "It's just a coincidence, he hit me." ”

Meng Xuan was angry and said, "How can you always collide with someone, don't you walk without eyes, or the cerebellum is underdeveloped!" ”

"What are you anxious about, I'm a victim."

"Do you know how dangerous he is, when you go back, be honest, don't wander around the road again." Shang Xiaoyu was just about to open his mouth to defend himself, but Meng Xuan opened his mouth and asked again, "What are you doing in the algae area?" Also, do you know that Xiaoxiao? ”

"I can't go home on vacation, work hard, don't keep asking about people and beauties." Shang Xiaoyu's flickering words made Meng Xuan even more sure of the close relationship between the two.

Looking at Meng Xuan's struggling appearance, Shang Xiaoyu knew that he must have never ridden a tricycle, and his body was crooked in the back, causing her to sit in the back with a leaning back and backwards.
