Chapter 40: The Search

Ye Zi got on the bus and went to the Yanqiao who didn't know if he could find Cheng Zhen.

Ye leaned his head against the car window, looking at the gray street scene against the background of the gloomy weather, and his mood was a little irritable.

She flipped out her phone and kept tapping the WeChat message sent to Cheng Zhen with her fingers, but the expected reply still didn't come.

The car passed one stop after another, on a wave of people, and then on a wave of people, alternating back and forth, noisy and lively, but Ye Zi felt a little lonely.

"Dear passengers, Yanqiao Station has arrived, please ......"

The mechanical female voice on the radio sounded cold to Ye Zi at the moment, and she jumped off the bus as if she was running away.

The ground was a little slippery, and she stumbled a few times before she stood still, looked up at the street signs, and followed the navigation to Yanqiao.

Yanqiao Station is only a few hundred meters away from Yanqiao Community, and the leaves soon arrive outside the gate of Yanqiao Community.

The community is chaotic and dilapidated, this is the first impression of the Yanqiao community on the leaves.

Ye Zi walked along the broken path, not knowing how to find Cheng Zhen for a while.

She wanted to ask someone where the property management was, but all she could see along the way was the mottled brick walls of the building, and the corners of the walls were littered with gray-white wall ash and sewage mixed with wall ash.

Ye Zi walked for more than ten minutes, and finally saw some smoke, an aunt sat on the side of the road, fanning the small stove in front of her, and the small stove was gurgling with Chinese medicine, and the fragrance of medicine was faintly exuding.

Ye Zi stepped forward and asked, "Auntie ask, where is the property management here?"

Auntie looked up at her, "What are you going to do?" ”

Ye Zi thought about what if, what if this aunt knew Cheng Zhen, so she said: "I want to find someone who lives in this community, and his name is Cheng Zhen."

As soon as she heard this, her aunt's expression moved slightly, and she said vigilantly: "What are you looking for him!"

Seeing her aunt's reaction, Ye Zi knew that she must know Cheng Zhen, and she was a little wary of her, so she said half-truthfully: "I'm his classmate, he didn't go to class today, our teacher asked me to take a look."

"Oh, that's it!"

"Does Auntie know where he lives?"

The aunt hesitated for a moment, but in the end there was no sound.

Ye Zi saw that she was very guarded, and showed her aunt a photo of the two of them on Lee Garden Street.

"Auntie, you see, I'm really not a liar, I'm a classmate who has a good relationship with him."

The aunt took the photo and looked at it, "oops", and said with a smile: "What classmate, you just say that you are his girlfriend, now you are young, you have fallen in love early, and Auntie knows it!"

As soon as this aunt was excited, the Shanghainese dialect and the Sichuan dialect were mixed, and Ye Zi, who listened to it, couldn't help but laugh.

At this time, Aunt Zi completely regarded Ye Zi as a relative, and took her hand and said, "Girl, alas, Auntie told you that Cheng Zhen is a good child."

"Alas! As for him, his life is a little harder, and his luck is not good for such a father and mother. Girl, Cheng Zhen is resting, and he will do anything. In short, you can't dislike him. ”

Ye Zi knew that this aunt was afraid that she would break up with him after knowing Cheng Zhen's affairs, so she smiled and said, "I know everything about him."

The aunt was a little shocked and said, "You know what? But it's good to know, so as not to have conflicts in the future. ”

"Hmm." Ye Zi replied with a smile.

Cheng Zhen is a teenager cruising on the edge, and she pulled him into the excitement and pulled him into the flowers, so she will take responsibility for a lifetime and not let him be lonely anymore.

Knowing that Cheng Zhen really lives here, the obviously ordinary and dilapidated community has become inconsistent, and everything here seems to be full of fireworks in the world and the ultimate sense of story.

"Auntie, can you tell me where Cheng Zhen's family lives?"

"Just a few hundred meters ahead, there are two big trees in front of the door. It's just that Cheng Zhen's kid doesn't come back often, so he will not be there. ”

"Girl, are you going to give him a call."

Auntie's suggestion is simply to sprinkle salt on the leaf wound, if it makes sense, will she still come to wait for the rabbit?

Ye Zi smiled: "The phone is out of battery." And it's nice to come and see where he grew up. ”

"That's right. Then you go, I have to serve the medicine to my old man." ”

After saying goodbye to his aunt, Ye Zi walked along the road, and sure enough, there were only two big trees in front of one house, which was an obvious sign.

Ye tentatively pushed the door, but the door was unlocked, and it was pushed open with a slight click.

Ye Zi called a few times, but no one answered, so he cautiously walked into the courtyard.

The yard was empty and clean, without a hint of desolation and defeat.

Ye Zi didn't dare to enter the house at will, sat down on a small bench in the yard, held his mobile phone, and waited for the person.

Time passed quickly, the sky gradually dimmed, and Cheng Zhen had not yet returned.

Her hands and feet were frozen, and her stomach hurt from hunger, but Ye Zi had an extraordinary persistence in some aspects, and today she made up her mind that she would not leave until Cheng Zhen came back.

It was completely dark, and Ye Zi sent Li Lan a message that he was reviewing with his classmates tonight and would not go home.

Ye Zi has always been obediently scary in some aspects, and Li Lan didn't doubt it too much and approved her application for a staycation.

With permission, Ye Zi was ready to wait until dawn at Cheng Zhen's house with peace of mind.

As soon as Ye Zi got up and was about to enter the house, he heard a burst of messy footsteps, followed by a violent roar, "It's all said, that kid won't come back here." ”

"What if, go in and have a look."

Hearing these sounds, Ye Zi felt a little bad inexplicably, and quickly hid in the utility room in the corner of the small courtyard.

As soon as she hid inside, someone pushed the door in, and it seemed to be a group of people.

They crackled for a moment.

Someone said: "I said, he won't come back, how can he be so bold."

"Forget it, I'm cold, I've been here anyway, so I'll go back on a business trip."

The footsteps of a group of people faded into the darkness, and the leaves came out of the utility room and slowly walked out into the courtyard.
