Chapter 534: Waiting
In the afternoon, Yuan Mei couldn't hold her mind, so she hurriedly left the chess and card room. On the way, she pondered, this matter can't be just settled, she must find Chen Ke and understand clearly.
She still had some luck in her heart, feeling that it seemed to be a misunderstanding, Chen Ke felt like she was sincere, and she shouldn't do such a sad thing. Maybe the woman is a relative, or something else. Everything cannot be guessed unilaterally, it must be asked face to face.
She took out her mobile phone, found a no-man's land, and called for a long time, but no one answered, and she couldn't go along in her heart. It occurred to her that he had left her an address.
After rummaging in my bag for a long time, I finally found this crumpled piece of paper in a small pocket, on which was the name of a neighborhood written on it.
When Yuan Mei saw this piece of paper, she couldn't help but let out a long breath, and held her heart, which was as happy and comforting as seeing others.
I thought: Oh yo, thank God, it was not thrown away, thank God, Bodhisattva bless, oh Mida Buddha.
She couldn't help but chant the Buddha's name.
He had always come to her house, so she never cared about where he lived.
Right now, well, it's coming in handy.
The address was still a little far from herself, Yuan Mei raised her hand to stop a taxi, jumped in the car, told the address, and rushed over in a hurry.
It was a very old community, and there were some old people chatting in the sun at the door. The house inside also looks very unbearable because of its age. But none of this is important, the important thing is that Yuan Mei feels that she must see Chen Ke immediately.
She was going to ask her face to face what was going on. Do all the promises he made to himself count?
Finding the building, Yuan Mei paid for the car and immediately rushed upstairs. In front of an iron door, already covered in rust and dust, the butterfly saw the corresponding house number. Yuan Mei suddenly felt that her heart was beating hard, she stabilized her mind, and then knocked on the door.
After knocking for a long time, no one paid attention.
On the side of the iron door is a window that is also rusty and wrapped in a thick layer of dust, which is supposed to be the bathroom location. Yuan Mei stood on tiptoe and craned her neck, trying to see through the dusty window. Is there anyone in there?
At this moment, someone from a nearby family came out, saw Yuan Mei, and asked strangely: Who are you looking for?
Yuan Mei saw the savior, and immediately said: I am looking for Chen Ke who lives here. An old man fifty miles away, do you know him? Just stay here.
The man was dazed when he heard this, and muttered: What is the success? I don't know, haven't heard of this person.
Yuan Mei was anxious and said: A man who looks very clean and Sven, in his fifties, is almost as tall as this-
She tried to gesticulate, trying to evoke the memories of the other party, but the other party still looked dazed, shook her head and said: I don't know. Haven't heard of it.
Yuan Mei said: So, is there anyone living here?
The man said, "Yes, this house has been rented out and often changes tenants, so we don't know each other." An old man who originally lived here died of a stroke, and his son has been renting out the house since then, and the tenant doesn't know how many batches have been changed. I really don't know who you're talking about.
After the man went downstairs, Yuan Mei suddenly lost her spirit like a deflated ball.
Obviously, Chen Ke has moved away. She felt like all her internal organs were being pulled in one place. She went downstairs and stood in front of the building for a long time, she didn't know how to find Chen Ke, and her mind was in chaos. Passers-by who came and went, when they saw her, all stared at her curiously.
She was a little reluctant to give up, thinking that maybe it was just because Chen Ke was low-key, didn't like to show his words and deeds, and usually lived in a simple place, so the people next door naturally didn't know each other.
Thinking of this, she decided: just wait and see here, if you really live here, you will come back. Maybe you will run into it.
She sat down on the steps next to her, the cold stone steps, which were called Piercing Cold. But she doesn't care so much right now.
Whenever a resident entered the building, she immediately grabbed them and asked them: Do you know a man in his fifties who lives in this building?
People looked at her inexplicably, and after asking around, no one knew. She couldn't help but get discouraged.
Sitting like this until dusk was approaching, she already felt that her limbs, hands and feet were almost wooden, and she didn't see half of Chen Ke's shadow. I gradually lost my patience. When she got home, she just entered the door, and suddenly her mobile phone rang, and when she saw it, she almost jumped up, but it was Chen Ke who called.
Yuan Mei was so excited that she didn't know what to say, Chen Ke was there and asked her what she was looking for him?
Yuan Mei said incoherently, and I don't know if I said that I didn't get to the point, anyway, Chen Ke said very happily: I have something to do in Chengdu, so I can't come back. You can wait patiently for me for a few more days. I'll come to you in a few days.
Yuan Mei couldn't help but say: I went to you to look for you today.
Chen Ke took a look on the phone and said: Oh, I forgot to tell you about this, the house over there has long been no rent, because the house is too old and uncomfortable to live in, so I moved to my daughter's place. Is there anything wrong with you?
When Yuan Mei heard this, she was relieved: I see.
Just say: It's nothing, it's just-
Before she could finish speaking, Chen Ke was a little impatient and said: Oh, in this way, I happen to have something here, so I won't tell you, because I saw that you had so many calls and left so many words, so I asked, since it's okay, I'll come back to you when I come back.
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Yuan Mei couldn't help but be stunned. He had never hung up the phone like this before, and he would always say something considerate, but today the phone call seemed a little raw and cold.
However, for Yuan Mei, it was finally connected to him, and her heart seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, and the uneasiness disappeared. But soon he slapped his thigh again and complained to himself: Why did you forget to ask him about the money just now? It's really old and slow to react.
I want to call again, but I'm afraid that Chen Ke will think that he is too annoying? He came back in two days, and when he saw it, he could naturally ask. I forced it down.
So, Yuan Mei continued to live her waiting days. This wait is another half a month.
In order to kill the boredom, she still reports to the chess and card room every day, not to play cards, she also wants to listen to some gossip from those people. Where there are people in this world, there is a natural ability to spread.
Originally, she didn't care much about the gossip, but now she was eager to know something she didn't know, especially about Chen Ke.
I was eager to get some news about Chen Ke, but I was not eager to get news about him. She also vaguely felt in her heart that no news was a good thing.
However, after a few days like this, there was indeed a news that came to a table next to it, and the person's family was from the local public security department, talking about some fraud criminals who had recently been cracked down and arrested. One of them is Chen Ke.
