The night's torrential rain finally stopped, and the town was refreshing with the early morning sun and the breeze.

Mom and Dad hadn't woken up yet, and the intermittent snoring sound wafted out of the closed bedroom from time to time. Qian Duoduo didn't sleep all night, and those chaotic thoughts took root in his mind like nails, and he couldn't forget them, and with the transfer of time, they blossomed and bore the fruit called 'despair'.

Quietly pushed the door out of the alley, and there were many puddles of all sizes on the road, like mirrors of different shapes reflecting this simple and beautiful foggy town.

After the rain, the smell of earth seeps into the air, refreshing and refreshing, and people can't help but recall those small and unforgettable beauty. Every time your foot steps on the brick-strewn road, there is a small splash of water.

Walking slowly with his head down, Qian Duoduo wanted to retrieve the note that had been accidentally lost, the only note that could still make him feel some warmth.

When he went out in the morning, Qian Duoduo, who was sent by the ghost, took out the mobile phone that Lu Chen gave him and brought it to him, and even he didn't know why he thought of carrying it. It's just that when I opened the drawer, I couldn't help but feel that I reached for my phone.

It was probably too early to go out, and the streets were empty and there was no one there, and the town looked like an empty city. Qian Duoduo lowered his head and searched carefully inch by inch.

No, not in the alley, not on the road I walked yesterday, nowhere to ..... His hope and warmth were completely gone.

Tears rolled down his cheeks again, regret, resentment, despair, the scene in front of him blurred and dim and no longer beautiful.

Stumbled against the wall on the side of the road, his head was groggy and ached terribly, probably the sequelae of not sleeping all night, and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a hand, and he could be crushed and torn apart at any time.

Wanting to find and get, wanting to grasp the warmth that was like smoke, the streets after the rain, and the stumbling footsteps, Qian Duoduo walked towards the end of the town with his back to the sun.

I don't know why, since I woke up in the morning, Lu Chen had a feeling of uneasiness, and always felt that today would not be such a peaceful day. When he was at work, Mayor Wu came to chat with him with a cup of Longjing, and Secretary Liu, who usually got together to chat, left surprisingly today to avoid it.

"Lu Chen, how are you doing in the town?" Mayor Wu asked.

"It's okay, thank you Mayor Wu for taking care of me all the time." At that time, Lu Chen's sincerity was that he had received a lot of help from Mayor Wu these days. Whether it's life or work.

"Lu Chen, do you know that there is a factory on the edge of our town?"

Hearing this word, Lu Chen couldn't help but be secretly shocked in his heart, could it be that the matter of going there was discovered by the other party, but looking at Mayor Wu's expression, the other party was still calm as usual, so that people couldn't guess what he really thought in his heart at this time.

"I know, last time Sister-in-law Liu and her husband disappeared, didn't I go with you to look for someone." Don't move, see the move, Lu Chen thought psychologically.

"Oh, yes." Mayor Wu had an expression that he had just remembered, "I almost forgot." Lu Chen, I want to ask you what you think of it. ”

"Opinion?" Lu Chen asked Mayor Wu, "I don't know what you mean. ”

"I want to ask you what you think of the factory, after all, you are from outside, maybe you can put forward some suggestions, improve our production or something, and make a contribution to the town, isn't it?" Mayor Wu said.

Is this a high hat for yourself?

"I'm sorry, Mayor Wu, I just took a look outside that day, and besides, I was in a hurry to find someone that day, and I didn't care about the one I looked."

"Oh..."Blowing away the tea leaves floating on the surface, Mayor Wu took a sip of the tea bowl and asked, "Do you want to go in and see what it's like inside?" ”

It seemed to be an unintentional question, but the inexplicable Lu Chen heard a hint of danger inside, and the mayor in front of him may not be as simple as it seems.

"I don't want to." Lu Chen didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied, "If you don't like the mayor of the town, I just want to do the job at hand, and then eat and wait for death." Since I can't leave this town anymore, I just want to live in peace. ”

Fortunately, the mayor didn't ask deeply, probably because he felt that he was an outsider and didn't pose any danger to the town. Lu Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

I just don't understand why Mayor Wu cares so much about that factory, what is hidden there, what kind of person is the man I saw that day, and why I know Liu Qiang and am surprised that he is still alive.....

Until he walked out of the town hall after work in the afternoon, Lu Chen's uneasy feeling still lingered in his heart.

Wasn't it Mayor Wu's question? So what would it be....

After a day, the puddles on the ground had evaporated, and except for the occasional muddy dirt on the side of the street, it was completely unrecognizable that it had rained last night.

Do you want to go to Qianduojia for a trip.... Lu Chen stood on the side of the street and hesitated, his appearance yesterday was really a little reassuring, and he had to apologize to him.

But would he still be willing to see himself? After thinking about it again and again, Lu Chen finally had the courage to walk in the direction of Qian Duojia.

The door of the Qian family was open, and Lu Chen stood outside the door and shouted twice, but no one answered. When I walked into the house, I realized that there was no one in the house.

What about the people in his family? What are you doing? And why did you go out with the door open, it makes people feel like there is something important to go out in a hurry.

"Lu Chen, have you seen a lot of my family?"

As soon as he walked out of the courtyard of the Qian family, Lu Chen saw Qian's mother walking towards him in a hurry, and before she could find a nearby place, Qian's mother opened her mouth and asked Lu Chen loudly if she had seen her son.

Is there a lot of money lost?

"When I woke up in the morning, this guy was gone, I thought I was looking for you." Mother Qian was anxious and at a loss, she had searched for all the places she could think of, and no one had seen the shadow of Qian Duoduo for a whole day.

"Auntie, don't worry, I'll help find it too, what about Uncle Qian?" Lu Chen comforted Qian Duoduo's mother.

He also went to look for it, but he didn't know if he could find it. Alas, where can this child go? Qian Mu said.

He didn't look for himself, he didn't see it all the way here, so where else would he be? Lu Chen thought about it and knocked on the door of Liu Qiang's house.

I didn't see Liu Qiang bring two heavy panda eyes for a day, and Lu Chen was frightened for a day when he saw it, and asked suspiciously.

"What's wrong with you, why do you have such heavy dark circles?"

"Don't talk about it." Liu Qiang rubbed his eyes and looked tired and tired, "Last night, my mother didn't sleep and made trouble all night." Anyway, do you have something to do with me? ”

"I want to ask you, have you seen Qian Duoduo?" Lu Chen asked.

"He, no. What's wrong? Liu Qiang was a little surprised why Lu Chen came to him to find someone.

"Oh, that's fine." Seeing that the other party hadn't seen Qian Duoduo, Lu Chen casually dealt with it and turned around and left. After walking far away, Lu Chen still vaguely heard Liu Qiang's voice behind him. "He's not worth it, let's be distracted and cared about!"

Blindly looking on the streets, I can't see the shadow of Qian Duoduo anywhere. Suddenly, a shadow flashed in Lu Chen's mind, that person, the mysterious person he saw in the factory the day before yesterday.

Qian Duoduo seems to be very interested in that person, and he still wanted to go back to find that man, will that .....

Lu Chen thought, it shouldn't be possible to go back to the factory again, it must be very tightly guarded now, so how else can he find that man? Lu Chen remembered that this fog forest was born around the town, in that case....

There was no time to think about it anymore, Lu Chen opened his legs and ran towards the fruit forest that he had originally entered.

The fog forest was as dark as ever, with dense trees and fog obscuring the sky. Lu Chen blindly wandered around the forest, he couldn't tell the direction from the moment he first came in, and he could only rely on his intuition to feel the direction he should be.

Brother Cen, are you here? Don't you want to see me again?

Since the morning, Qian Duoduo has been looking for Brother Cen to see Brother Cen again, but until now, he is still alone, unable to see the forest in front of him.

From the full expectation at the beginning to the discouragement at the end, the light in Qian Duoduo's eyes slowly dimmed.

Maybe Brother Cen is also tired of himself. Perhaps God also thinks that his existence is superfluous.

Faintly, Lu Chen heard the man's cry, a sad and sad cry, he stopped, and heard the sound to identify the direction. There are people around here, could it be Qian Duoduo?!

Following the cry slowly, Lu Chen saw the person curled up and squatting under the tree and crying sadly. The thin back and the worn shirt look familiar.

"Is it Duoduo?" Lu Chen asked tentatively.

The man who was squatting with his back to him suddenly stopped crying, got up and ran forward...

The other party's sudden reaction made Lu Chen jump, thinking that the other party was going to attack him, so he instinctively took two steps back, and only when he saw the person running towards the depths of the forest did he react and chase after him.

"A lot of money!" Lu Chen shouted loudly as he chased.

Why did he come to himself? Is it because you pity yourself? I don't want to go back, I don't want to face that group of people who have no self-interest. Qian Duoduo ran desperately, escaping Lu Chen's pursuit.

The wrist hurt faintly, the dizziness felt even worse, Qian Duoduo's running speed became slower and slower, he tripped over something under his feet, and his body involuntarily leaned forward and fell to the ground.

"Whew... You... You okay... Call... Whew"

Lu Chen rushed to Qian Duoduo's side out of breath, squatted down and stretched out his hand to help, and when he looked at the other party's body, he inadvertently saw that Qian Duoduo was pressed under his leg, and it should have tripped the other party just now - a broken arm.

"Ahh

With an exclamation, he didn't have time to take care of the other party, Lu Chen suddenly pulled Qian Duoduo up vigorously, hugged him in his arms and took several steps back.

What happened? Qian Duoduo was hugged tightly in his arms, unable to see the broken arm that was still fresh on the ground behind him, struggling to leave the other party's embrace.

"What's wrong with you?"

"That's... There, there's a. The arm of man..."

Lu Chen's intermittent words came into Qian Duoduo's ears because he was afraid, and he broke away from his arms and turned back.... He also saw the severed arm that appeared on the grass for no apparent reason...
