The grandparents upstairs in the rental house are old, and their bodies are not very tough, so they always ask them to take care of the little hawthorn.

The factory has gradually entered the formalized management, and it is not suitable to bring cats and dogs over.

Therefore, after Jiang Zhilian lived in the staff dormitory for two or three days, she returned to the rental house.

Taking care of the hawthorn, nature is one of the reasons.

But more importantly, it was because she wanted to find a clean place to put her troubled emotions.

Late at night, the street lights are dim.

After a bumpy ride, the truck finally entered the city.

Jiang Zhilian thanked her eldest sister and asked her to park the car on the side of the road.

The eldest sister insisted on sending Jiang Zhilian back to her residence, but when she saw that the little girl looked like she was about to jump out of the car, she had no choice but to stop the truck.

"If Ji Lao knew that I didn't send you into the house and let you get out of the car halfway, he would blame me!"

Jiang Zhilian squeezed out a smile and said in a joking tone: "If you don't talk about it, if I don't talk about it, how will he know!" You just say send me home! ”

The surrounding area is forested, the wind blows the branches and leaves, and a few droplets of water are falling, like unfinished rain,

The eldest sister looked around and said uneasily: "It's a big night, how can you get a bad guy!" I'll send you back! My truck was a little broken, but it was faster than running on two legs. ”

"I'm going to take the trail, and it's going to be fast. Eldest sister, you've worked hard for a trip today! Stay safe on the way back! Jiang Zhilian didn't say much to her, waved her hand and ran away.

Eldest Sister: "......"

Hey, this girl! It's too daring!

Jiang Zhilian walked through the streets and alleys, running faster and faster, trampling the rain all over the ground crackling and splashing everywhere.

Twenty minutes later, she was sweating profusely and crimson back to the rental room.

When she was taking out the key to open the door, Jiang Zhilian heard a rustling sound behind her.

She suddenly turned around and asked vigilantly, "Who is it?" ”

"I thought I wouldn't be able to wait for you tonight! Meng Qing's whereabouts are still unknown, and he still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, so you can't wait to run out to meet a man? Look at the sweat on this body, this little blushing, it's very intense! It's rare, and I know how to go home, heh......"

The woman's voice was low and deep, and the person took two steps forward, bringing with him a good smell of perfume.

She had been standing in the dark corridor for several hours, and she was used to the dim light here, so she could easily see Jiang Zhilian clearly from head to toe.

Jiang Zhilian recognized the woman's voice, but ...... This sneering tone, this prickly way of speaking, didn't seem quite like the person she thought.

The woman sneered and snorted softly, "What? Don't know me anymore? ”

Jiang Zhilian's eyes widened, adjusted the focus of her gaze, and looked at the person in front of her, and finally saw her face clearly, "Mrs. Chen, how do you know that I live here?" ”

Mrs. Chen pointed to the door, and opened her mouth in a commanding tone, "Hurry up and open the door, let's go in!" ”

Jiang Zhilian frowned and hesitated for two seconds.

Truth be told, she's desperate to get rid of people right now.

But it's so late, and if there is too much movement, it will make noise to the neighbors, and the impact will not be good.

She was a person with a sense of public morality and didn't want to disturb the people, so she had to open the door and let Mrs. Chen enter the room.

"What's the matter with me?" Mrs. Chen's attitude towards her was not good just now, and Jiang Zhilian didn't want to be polite to her.

"Old friends, reminiscence." Mrs. Chen's eyes swept the room and smiled contemptuously. Then, he quickly retracted his expression.

Jiang Zhilian pouted, old friend? This kind of nonsense can be said!

Old and dead don't get along, it's pretty much the same.

If it weren't for your poaching brother, would Meng Qing's whereabouts be unknown now, and his life and death are uncertain?!

Would he have done such a dangerous thing?

What a fuck!

Jiang Zhilian cursed in a low voice and went to the kitchen to boil water and make tea for the uninvited guests.

A large handful of tea leaves were put in, and they were as thick as bitter gall.

"Don't you have a decent teacup at home?" Mrs. Chen glanced at the large teapot in front of her with disgust.

The old jar can't even distinguish the color of the tea.

Jiang Zhilian was already in a bad mood, but at this time she became more and more impatient, "Do you like to drink or not!" Don't drink the fuck off! ”

Mrs. Chen had been standing in the corridor for several hours, already thirsty and hungry.

She didn't care about it, so she picked up the teapot and took a sip.

"Phew! Burst...... Poof...... "As soon as the tea was eaten, it was spit back into the cup.

Jiang Zhilian snorted, "Waste! ”

Mrs. Chen: "......"

The two sat across the table and faced each other silently for a long time.

Jiang Zhilian was tired of sitting and got up to brush her teeth and wash her face.

Mrs. Chen listened to the sound of water coming from the bathroom, and her whole person was not well.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Jiang Zhilian walked out with a basin of hot water, she gently put her feet into the basin, and sighed comfortably.

"Isn't it reminiscing? Why don't you talk all the time?! I'm done soaking my feet, but it's time to go to sleep. ”

Mrs. Chen rubbed her eyebrows, looked tired, and asked softly, "Is Meng Qing missing?" ”

Jiang Zhilian stared at her feet and said absentmindedly: "No." ”

Mrs. Chen asked again, "Then do you have any news of my brother?" ”

Jiang Zhilian rolled her eyes and sneered, "You don't have any news of your brother, how can I know about him!" I said, are you here to be funny? ”

Mrs. Chen was choked and was about to speak, when she suddenly heard footsteps from the balcony.

In June, when the temperature was suitable, Jiang Zhilian kept the hawthorns in the yard, so that the dogs could play freely outside when no one was at home.

With the landlord's consent, she made a small door to the balcony door for the dog to enter and exit.

Most of the time as soon as she returns, the little hawthorn will soon come home when she hears the noise.

That night, the little hawthorn probably saw that the lights in the house were still not on, so he ran away to another place.

I was greedy for fun for a while, and I guess I didn't know how to come back until I was tired and out of line.

Mrs. Chen was not afraid of dogs, but since her brother was bitten by a dog and lame, she has become more afraid of dogs.

The little hawthorn smelled the stranger's scent and looked around Mrs. Chen.

The dog was wet from the rain, and its paws and calves were covered in mud and dirty.

Mrs. Chen was afraid of touching the dog's hair, so she moved her legs carefully, "Go, don't come here!" Go to the side! ”

The little hawthorn tilted his head, probably thinking that this was the master's friend, so he enthusiastically jumped directly onto Mrs. Chen's lap.

"......" Mrs. Chen was instantly frozen into a humanoid sculpture.

Jiang Zhilian leisurely finished soaking her feet and poured out the water for soaking her feet.

Only then did he carry the little hawthorn to the bathroom and give her a bath.

Mrs. Chen followed, stood at the door of the bathroom, looked down at Jiang Zhilian, and said without any emotion: "My brother is likely to be with Meng Qing. ”

Jiang Zhilian paused, slowly raised her head, and asked in a cold voice, "How do you know?" ”

"Some of the brothers who went up the mountain with him have returned." Madame Chen leaned loosely against the door frame, no longer struggling to maintain her ladylike posture, "They fell into the trap set by Meng Qing. However, Meng Qing only kidnapped my younger brother, and the others managed to escape. ”

That is, one-to-one?

Meng Qing shouldn't have much of a problem dealing with a lame skinny monkey, right......

However, the thin monkey is treacherous and cunning, constantly tricky, and has good skills, so it is probably not very easy to deal with.

Jiang Zhilian was faintly worried, but she didn't want to show too much in front of Mrs. Chen.

She continued to bathe the hawthorn.

The little hawthorn is lively and active, and does not cooperate, shaking its body, and throwing it everywhere is water.

Mrs. Chen was silent for a moment, and asked indiscriminately, "You and the Lin family brothers and sisters are good friends?" ”

The brothers and sisters of the Lin family, Lin Qing and Lin Xiang, why did they suddenly mention them?

Jiang Zhilian wondered, and replied casually, "Yes, it's a good friend." ”

Mrs. Chen chuckled, "Does Lin Qing like you?" ”

Jiang Zhilian: "Everyone likes a girl like me. ”

Mrs. Chen asked again, "Have you seen Lin Qing recently?" ”

Jiang Zhilian paused, "I've seen it once." ”

Mrs. Chen nodded, "Then don't you think there has been any change in his attitude towards you?" ”

Jiang Zhilian was completely stunned, and suddenly looked at Mrs. Chen, "What do you want to say?" ”

Mrs. Chen was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "Last time my daughter's farewell banquet, Lin Qing was invited first. Do you know why I asked him to come over and take charge? ”

Jiang Zhilian had a vague bad premonition, "Isn't it because your daughter likes to eat the dishes of the Qingxiang Canteen?" ”
