On the same day, when we came back from hunting pheasants in the mountains, Uncle Xu gave me my mobile phone, which had been charged at home because the phone was out of power, and I didn't bring it up the mountain together.

When Uncle Xu gave me his mobile phone, he said: "Xiaohai, a girl called you several times this morning, and she didn't say anything when I asked her anything, but just said that I was looking for you for something, and it should be very urgent to listen to that voice, so you can call someone back." ”

After listening to Uncle Xu's words, I took my phone over and looked at it. The caller was from an unfamiliar number. But what happened when Uncle Xu said she knew me?

So I went a little farther and replied to a phone call, and as soon as the phone was connected, the voice on the other side said, "Xiaohai, are you doing well now?" ”

This voice is all too familiar to me. The voice that I used to think about at night. I tried my best to calm my mood and said lightly: "It's okay, what about you?" How are you doing lately? ”

It was Xia Yutong who called me. After so long, it should be the first time since she left my house last time that she contacted me, Xia Yutong replied simply, okay. Then he asked a little hesitantly: "Xiaohai, why haven't you looked for me for so long." I miss you......"

When I heard those last words, I confessed that my heart trembled a little. Faced with Xia Yutong's words, I didn't know how to answer for a while, and I couldn't speak for a long time on my mobile phone.

It took me a while before I said, "Me too." Has Huo Han looked for you again recently? Their family didn't embarrass you, did they? ”

"Don't worry, the last time I ran away from the marriage has passed, and their family hasn't mentioned that matter again, Huo Han has rarely shown up since then, and I have hardly seen him again." Xia Yutong said.

But as soon as the words fell, Xia Yutong continued: "Xiaohai, where are you now?" I want to see you......"

After thinking about it for a while, I said, "I'm in my hometown now, and I'll go back to Jiangcheng in two days, so I'll call you then." ”

After speaking, Xia Yutong answered, and then I hung up the phone, I really can't forget the scene I saw outside Xia Yutong's villa that night, I sat on a bench on the side of the street and waited for her for almost a whole night, but in the end, someone else sent her home late at night, and the old man who looked at the house also clearly told me that Xia Yutong didn't live there.

Maybe it doesn't seem like much, it's just a trivial matter, but I can't let go of this matter in my heart, if it was before, it would be nothing, but now it's different.

After the phone call, I went back to the house, Wu Ming and they were setting up firewood outside the yard to roast the game they caught, I walked into the house, Uncle Xu and they were still watching the replay of the Spring Festival Gala, I thought about it and said: "Uncle and aunt, I may have to leave tomorrow, there are some things waiting for me to go back to deal with in Jiangcheng, and we are about to start school, so I can't stay at home for a long time." ”

Uncle Xu was very calm when they heard the news, and it seemed that they had already known that I would propose to go back to Jiangcheng at this time, no wonder, when Uncle Xu told me that a strange woman called before, he said that Jiangcheng had an urgent matter to find me, so he should have guessed that I would go back immediately.

Uncle Xu pursed his lips and thought for a while and said: "Xiaohai, if you have something urgent over there, you can go back now, you don't have to come back to see us if you don't have anything to do, I will make up your tuition for you in these two days and then call your card, then you just sign up, in addition, through the performance of these days, I think I should understand what you are doing in Jiangcheng, but judging from the performance of the people you brought back, you have not yet gone to the evil path, and my uncle hopes that you will not go to the evil path in the future, Always remember what you did this for, and don't be fooled by the glamour of that business, do you know what I mean? ”

I nodded heavily, I understand what Uncle Xu meant, he doesn't want me to become a bully on the bullying side in the future, what I have to do is to protect myself, protect the people around me, and let them no longer be bullied.

Then I smiled and said: "Uncle, I can handle the tuition fees myself, and I don't need you to give me my monthly living expenses in the future, I can do it myself, Sister Xiaoru also costs money to go to school, you leave this money to Sister Xiaoru, the conditions in the countryside are not as good as in the city, Sister Xiaoru used to stay in Jiangcheng, and now she will definitely be a little uncomfortable when she suddenly returns to the countryside, girls love beauty, although she doesn't say it, but I think she must hope that she can buy some beautiful clothes to wear......"

Before I finished speaking, Uncle Xu raised his hand to interrupt me and said, "You don't have to worry about Xiaoru's affairs, you have to rely on yourself for everything in Jiangcheng alone, if you encounter big trouble in Jiangcheng in the future and can't solve it yourself, you can come back to me immediately." ”

Uncle Xu's words seemed harsh, but behind the scenes, they were full of incomparable concern, I didn't continue to push what he said, but followed his meaning, and then chatted briefly for a while, and then Wu Ming brought Uncle Xu the roasted game and brought them in.

Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu immediately smiled when they saw each other, and at this time, Wu Ming skimmed my shoulder and said, "Brother Hai, the brothers outside roasted a lot of game, it tastes so fragrant, why don't you go out and taste it?" ”

As soon as Wu Ming said this, I knew that he was reminding me to go out, because under normal circumstances, Wu Ming would not talk to me like this, and then I walked out with a joke.

Not long after leaving the room, Wu Ming asked, "Brother Hai, who called that phone call that uncle gave you when you came back just now?" Is there anything urgent? Isn't it Sister Ling? ”

Listening to Wu Ming ask me so anxiously, I realized that he was worried about Du Wanling, thinking that this call was from Du Wanling, but I think it's right, since the last time Du Wanling failed to sneak attack Scarface and the scrap construction site, I haven't been in touch since I called me on the day I left the bungalow in the woods when I was injured, this is indeed a bit incomprehensible, according to her temper, it shouldn't be like this, at this time Wu Ming is so worried about her It doesn't seem unreasonable, There's definitely something in here that I don't know.

I smiled and said, "She didn't call, but I want to know if you have something to hide from me?" ”

Hearing me ask Wu Ming this, he was immediately stunned, and then said categorically: "Brother Hai, since I, Wu Ming, have never hidden anything from you since I took my brothers with you, and I didn't want to betray you, you are like brothers to us, our group of orphans for so many years, every time there is a New Year, Sister Ling will call me or have a meal with us, but this year is the first time you have made us feel at home, how can I, Wu Ming, hide anything from you!" ”

Saying that, Wu Ming's emotions seemed a little excited, I knew that he misunderstood what I meant, maybe I didn't express it well enough, I put my arm around his shoulders and said, "Why are you so excited, I'm not talking about this matter, I'm saying that there is something about Du Wanling that you didn't tell me, or I don't know." ”

After listening to the expression on Wu Ming's face, he softened a little, and said: "I'm not worried that you don't believe me, as for Sister Ling's matter, in fact, I heard about it last time when I was waiting for you to recuperate in the bungalow in the woods, and at that time, Sister Ling didn't send a message after she left, and then I couldn't help but find the short and fat man and ask him if he knew the whereabouts of Sister Ling, but the short and fat man didn't seem to know anything, but vaguely I could feel something wrong from his expression, and then we didn't think much about it after you were discharged from the hospital, But Sister Ling didn't call us until the Chinese New Year, and I began to worry a little at that time, but I didn't dare to tell you, for fear that you would worry. When I came back just now, Uncle Xu said that a woman called you several times, and I thought it was Sister Ling, so I ......."
