Chapter 88: Something Happens at Home
For Zheng Ying's father, his adoptive father, Lin Weibing had great suspicions.
Because in Zheng Ying's memory, the appearance of that person is Tan Xiaoping, whom Lin Weibing knew.
It's strange here, it's too much of an attempt.
In his heart, Lin Weibing made a deduction.
Talking about Xiaoping, when Zheng Ying was born sixteen years ago, he borrowed the relationship of the third base and raised him.
In between, there will be a long period of time to go out to work, as a migrant worker who does not return home all year round, it is not strange for the son who stays behind to be anywhere.
Even when Zheng Ying was a child, there was no developed communication technology.
Go home every few months or a year.
If he really talked about Xiaoping, he could go back to the third base in the name of going out to work after meeting Zheng Ying.
However, there is another element of impracticality.
Almost all the elders of the third base are aware of Zheng Ying's existence, he is a talent, why should he?
Zheng Ying was included in it from the Qingluo base and succeeded to the position of scientific advisor, and Zheng Ying has been monitored from his birth to the present.
Could it be that Zhang Yao of the Qingluo base doesn't know that Zheng Ying's adoptive father is talking about Xiaoping?
Suddenly......
Lin Weibing remembered the mountain man Changfeng, because Zheng Ying dropped out of school after graduating from junior high school, went out to work and almost starved to death on a dry river beach, and was found by Changfeng.
Didn't you say that you were monitoring all the time?
When he arrived at Zheng Ying's house, he knocked on the door, it seemed that there was no one at home, and the wooden courtyard door opened with an easy push.
First of all, there is a dim gate hole, a low courtyard aisle, and a few meters in front of it is a bright courtyard patio.
Lin Weibing was a little nervous, maybe Tan Xiaoping pretended not to know him, maybe he wasn't there.
However, Zheng Ying walked into the courtyard with Lin Weibing, and he immediately felt that this home after a year's absence was a little different.
It seems that the forest guards also discovered that the yard is full of knee-deep weeds, and walking into the yard is like walking into a ruin that has been abandoned for many years.
"No one clears the snow on the ground!" The forest guards stepped on the creaking snow, and many withered yellow weeds made a small cracking sound.
Zheng Ying shouted: "Grandpa! Father! Man? ”
He first rushed to the east wing of the main house where his father lived, and the door was still the old lock with the iron rod through the deadbolt, with snow piled on it, and it was rusty.
The window panes were covered with snow, and it seemed like no one had been here for a long time.
Zheng Ying pushed the door and looked back at Lin Weibing nervously: "No one at home?" How? The yard is also like this bear! It's like it's abandoned. ”
It's abandoned, yes, Lin Weibing thinks so too.
He didn't know what to say, he just closed his eyes and disappeared in the middle of the courtyard in an instant!
Zheng Ying looked around: "Hey? Lin Guards! Why did you go? Damn, what are you doing? ”
Saying that, Zheng Ying went to her uncle's Westinghouse to see, but there was no one, as if everyone had never existed, or had not been here this year.
The weeds have been growing since at least spring, and have been ...... It hasn't been taken care of for more than a year.
Zheng Ying walked to the steps at the door of the east house, kicked away the snow with her feet indiscriminately, pulled a dry tattered dress from the side of the doorway, shook off a little snow on her head, and the dry place, and sat down stupidly on the steps.
After a while, Zheng Ying recalled the time she left.
He found out the new mobile phone he bought in the rental house in the Northland, the previous mobile phone was blown up when he was in Baihua Park, and was later restored by the forest guards and taken away by the three elders.
The time on his phone, he flipped through the calendar inside.
A year? It should have been a year and a half ago, when I graduated from junior high school in the summer and went out to look for a job for less than half a month, I was found by Changfeng.
Later, I went to the Qingluo base, where the four seasons are like spring, only spring and winter, because there is a special shield magnetic field.
It was not clear before, but now it is known that the Qingluo base is located in the hinterland of the center of Qingluo Kingdom, south of the Beiguo Plain, and after reaching the watershed, it enters the mountainous landscape and is a valley in an area where there are no civilians.
The time he left the base, he went to the country of Fei Xunren...... Well, that's when it started and the rest of the second year!
One and a half years...... No, or it's been two years since I left home.
Zheng Ying felt as if her memory was out of order.
At this moment, Lin Weibing returned.
He appeared in front of Zheng Ying in an instant, holding some food and drink in his hand.
"Eat something, I went to the village store to buy it! Ham sausages, drinks, and crispy noodles. ”
Zheng Ying didn't raise her head, but raised her hand and turned out to be a plastic bag, her brows locked.
"Hmm...... I inquired around, and the people in your village all said...... Your father he...... He died a year ago! Lin Weibing pouted.
Zheng Ying nodded: "Yes, I almost want to think so, but I don't dare!" ”
"I also asked the people in the village, your uncle and aunt, took your grandfather and went into the city, they also have two children, it should be a daughter and a son, right! Count you on as their cousin! Where they went, the people in the village didn't say, but some said that they would come back for the New Year! ”
Zheng Ying raised her head: "Then why is the door unlocked?" ”
Lin Weibing looked at the yard, there were no livestock, there were no metal and iron tools to be used before, except for a dilapidated tricycle with a tire that had already burst out, like a blue turtle lying in the carport on the south side.
"Could it be that the countryside is like this! It's nothing of value, and it's all a village......"
"We're not like this here, we can usually leave the door unlocked, but if the whole family leaves, it will be locked!"
"Squeak~~" Someone came in from the other side of the gate.
Zheng Ying and Lin Weibing looked at this in an instant.
"It's a man, a little older than you!" Lin Weibing told Zheng Ying before anyone walked out of the doorway.
Zheng Ying rushed over at a trot, and at the doorway, a little taller than Zheng Ying, with unkempt dirty hair, dressed in rags, like a poor begging for food.
"Uncle?" Zheng Ying cried out.
Lin Weibing's eyes narrowed: Is this the uncle with his memory?
"You...... Cold food? "The person who came is Zheng Ying's playmate who grew up together since childhood, according to his generation, he is called an uncle, and he is the eldest son of Zheng Ying's grandfather's third brother's family.
"Uncle Gakui, why are you like this?" Zheng Ying looked nervous.
"Cold Food...... Uh, snacks, your dad is gone, you ...... Why have you been there for the past two years? Zheng Jiakui looked excited, he kicked the snow on the ground a few times: "Hehe, no one lives, I haven't cleaned it, I usually come to take a look, I'll go back to my house if it's okay." ”
Zheng Jiakui, with dodgy eyes, bypassed Zheng Ying and walked to the main house.
Seeing Lin Weibing, he looked at it evasively, turned around and asked, "Is this your friend?" ”
"Well, yes, uncle, where's my grandfather? And where did my second uncle and my aunt go? ”
Gakui patted the dirty snow on his legs and smiled bitterly: "I'm going to work!" When my uncle was in the autumn of this year, he was gone, lung cancer, smoking, your father left earlier than my uncle, and if you left for less than half a year, he would not be able to do it. ”
The uncle that Gakui said is Zheng Ying's grandfather.
He was a little hard to believe, how long has it been, just because he didn't contact his family, there were two fewer people in the family all of a sudden?
