Not long after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Yuan went to visit Lin Yinyin's younger brother once.
He was lying in a small rental house with a thick bandage on his head and confusion. Lin Yinyin poured him water, turned around and said, "Sit down." ”
Lin Yuan gently moved the miscellaneous medicine on the old sofa aside, sat down and asked, "What's the matter, isn't it sick?" ”
The house was filled with a strange smell, pungent and unpleasant. The house is very small, it looks like no one has cleaned it up for a long time, the wine cans and cigarette butts are thrown on the ground, and there is a takeaway that has not been eaten at least half a month ago on the side, and the taste is rancid.
Lin Yinyin put the water cup aside, gently helped the boy cover the quilt, and heard the boy shout weakly: "Sister, why didn't you go to class......"
She gently held the boy's hand and held back her tears, "Today's holiday, you just came out of the hospital, rest quickly." ”
The boy nodded with difficulty, tilted his head and closed his eyes.
Lin Yinyin walked up to Lin Yuan, gently took his hand, and said, "I got off work some time ago and was beaten." ”
Lin Yuan's heart turned upside down: "What did the doctor say?" Why was I discharged? ”
Tears rolled down, Lin Yinyin cried silently, Lin Yuan gently held her in his arms, she said: "The situation is very bad, the internal organs are seriously injured." ”
"There is no money left, and all the money saved is used." She was weak, and there was despair in her voice that she didn't want to express, "I can only be discharged from the hospital, I begged my father's former friends, and they promised to help us, but we have to wait." ”
"I've taken a week's leave and plan to stay and take care of my brother until he is back in the hospital."
Tears fell on Lin Yuan's hands, and the warm touch flowed all over his body, and the pain was like a knife.
He clenched his silver teeth: "I have money, I will help you." ”
Although the money is to be kept until marriage, he can carry it clearly, whether human life or marriage.
He believes that after Li Hongjie knows the situation, he will definitely not be angry.
"It's okay, I know your situation." Lin Yinyin said: "The uncles have already promised to help us, you keep the money yourself." ”
Lin Yuan insisted that he was actually very rich, but Lin Yinyin stretched out his hand to block his mouth and gave an eviction order: "My brother wants to rest, I want to take care of him, you go first." ”
The dim fluorescent lamps illuminated the limited space, and the surroundings were quiet, so quiet that you could hear the boy lying in bed with a weak and painful moan.
All around is a miserable smell, rotten, stinking.
The fists clenched unconsciously, and he said, "Okay." ”
Lin Yinyin sent him to the door, waved goodbye, tears slowly dripped down his cheeks, Lin Yuan turned around halfway and shouted softly: "If the money is not enough, you must tell me, you believe me, I have a way." “
She nodded, retreated into the room, and closed the door.
There are actually a lot of people living in this residential area, and most of them are still busy outside at 7 o'clock in the evening.
The sky was already dark, and there was a round moon hanging in the sky, like a yellow ping-pong ball.
Walking through the long, muddy dirt road, not far ahead of the road, Lin Yuan looked over, and there was a yellow-haired young man standing under the nearest street lamp.
He beckoned to Lin Yuan and shouted, "Lin Laosan." ”

At the end of January, the school has a winter break. Lin Yuan was about to book a train ticket to go home, and suddenly wanted to ask Lin Yinyin if he was willing to go back with him, so he sent a WeChat message, and he quickly replied.
She replied: No.
There was no follow-up, so Lin Yuan had to book a ticket for himself, and called Li Hongjie again, but found that he couldn't get through.
"The phone you are calling is off, please call again later."
Lin Yuan felt inexplicable, checked the side, and dialed it again.
"The phone you are calling is off, please call again later."
Double-legged to make sure the phone number was correct. This is very strange, since Uncle Li has lost his job, he has answered calls very quickly, and even if he doesn't hear it, he will reply in time, but this time the phone was turned off directly.
Lin Yuan was a little dumbfounded, but he was not worried, although Li Hongjie was getting older and older, he was still far from being able to take care of himself, so he put away his worries and continued to pack his things.
Brother Yun came over thiefily, helped Lin Yuan stuff a piece of clothing into the suitcase, and asked quietly, "Is there a crisis in your relationship?" ”
"No, no, no." Lin Yuan folded the clothes that had been stuffed in just now neatly and took it slowly, "It's just that his brother was injured, but she told me some time ago that she was fine." ”
Brother Yun sat on the bed, leaning towards Lin Yuan, and his voice was even quieter: "Then you didn't do anything to her, did you?" ”
Lin Yuan raised his head, feeling inexplicable, "What can I do, but ......" he waved his hand, "Forget it, don't mention it." ”
"Are you sure?" Brother Yun continued to ask.
"What do you mean?" Lin Yuan realized that something was wrong, and panicked, "If you know the situation, just say it quickly, don't hide it and sell it." ”
Brother Yun frowned and coughed lightly, and said worriedly, "I heard the two girls in the class say...... Say ......"
"Oh, it's hard to say." Brother Yun shook his head and gave up.
Lin Yuan closed the suitcase, his eyes widened: "Say it quickly!" I'm her boyfriend too! ”
"Alas! Then I'll get straight to the point. Brother Yun made sure that there was no one left and right again, and said in a suppressed voice: "Those two girls said that they often saw Lin Yinyin retching in the bathroom. ”
"That's it?" Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, "She told me that her stomach is not very good. ”
"I see!" Brother Yun also breathed a sigh of relief and patted him on the shoulder, "I'm just casually mentioning it, after all, those two girls are talking nonsense, saying that she may be pregnant, and I think this kind of thing has to be revealed to you." ”
"Pregnant? How could it be, I didn't touch her again. Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment after speaking, and suddenly remembered that it was raining that day, Lin Yinyin lowered his head and said to him, "You want me." ”
There was another sentence in the back that he didn't hear clearly, maybe even she couldn't hear clearly.
Terrible thoughts came like waves and filled my mind.
Lin Yuan kicked open the box and ran out like crazy.
"My brother is sick."
"Don't ask, I beg you not to ask again."
"I don't have anything for her to consume, the rich second generation outside can."
"She's actually quite enthusiastic in other ways......
Are these words connected?
Sure enough, there's a connection, right?
There was a thin layer of snow on the ground, Lin Yuan slipped on the steps with one foot, endured the pain, didn't have time to pat his clothes, got up and continued to run.
He suddenly saw a familiar girl who had just come out of the girls' dormitory building, rushed up to stop her, and asked in a snort, "Where is Lin Yinyin?" Where is Lin Yinyin? ”
The girl was startled, covered her heart and glanced at him: "She's gone!" Gone in the morning. ”
Lin Yuan felt like he was suffocating, his heart was beating faster, and a blood vessel on his face was bulging, like a caterpillar that was attached to his face.
He hurriedly took out his mobile phone and wanted to call Lin Yinyin, his fingers were frozen stiff, and it was a little troublesome to control.
When he finally found it, he dialed the number.
It's a familiar, emotionless female voice again.
"The phone you are calling is off, please call again later, so
y......“
No way! Lin Yuan dialed again.
"The phone you are calling is off, please call again later, so
y......“
A man stands alone on the snow, surrounded by students who pass by with suitcases in tow from time to time.
His mind was empty, as if everything here was deep underground except for him.
He tried a few more times, but failed, and he sent another WeChat message to Lin Yinyin.
A red exclamation mark, Lin Yuan knew what it meant.
It seems that things are really serious.
The gray sky, the cold wind, Lin Yuan shivered deeply.
Everything pales in comparison.

Liu Xiaofeng put down his mobile phone, sighed, and said, "I asked someone to ask Fang Qian, and she said that she gave Lin Yinyin the contact information of the rich second generation, but she didn't know what happened after that." ”
"Fuck it, what scum!" Brother Yun was furious, Lin Yuan patted him on the back expressionlessly, and asked calmly, "Why give it to her?" Why did she take it? ”
"She said that Lin Yinyin was chatting with them in the car at that time, and mentioned that her brother was hospitalized, and the treatment fee was very expensive, and she couldn't afford it, so Fang Qian gave her contact information and asked her to try her luck."
Liu Xiaofeng's face was strange, and his voice was very low: "As for trying your luck...... Probably to see if she can be favored by the rich second generation, and then give her money to let her brother be treated...... Something like that, right? ”
It seems that he can't get angry at all, and his heart has long been frozen by this cold wind and snow.
In a trance, he seemed to guess what the words that no one had heard were.
"While I'm clean." Probably, right?
"Brother, don't worry, things may not be so bad, if that's the case, Li Xiaolei will definitely seize the opportunity to fan the flames." Zhao Zikang comforted.
"It's okay, don't talk about it." Lin Yuan lowered his head.
"Zikang is right, it's definitely not true. Maybe she's just having something bothering her? Liu Xiaofeng was very guilty and anxious: "Anyway, don't worry, it's a big deal to find her." ”
"Don't talk about it, it's okay."
"Do you know where her house is?" Liu Xiaofeng said: "A few brothers will go with you to find it." ”
Lin Yuan smiled bitterly, feeling that all the strength in his body had disappeared.
He was stunned to think that those words that had been said, the memories that he shared, could disappear at any time, like bubbles flying in the sky, whether they were gorgeous or not, they would burst.
Only slight water stains are left, and after a while, even the water stains will not be left.
The ground was dry and cracked, and the brain was a desolate land.
Lin Yuan couldn't say more after all, Liu Xiaofeng called the head teacher and asked Lin Yinyin's residence.
He put down the phone and waved his hand: "Asked, can you go?" ”
"I went there in the morning, and his brother wasn't there." Lin Yuan said in a low voice, "His neighbor said that his brother is dead. ”
"Neighbors also say ......"
"She borrowed from a loan shark, and the interest was rolling high. Before the National Day, there were often people who came to collect debts, but then there were no more. ”
He didn't want to say any more, things were already clear.
By now, he had guessed everything.
Where are there any uncles and uncles?
The only thing that can help her is the loan shark on the Internet.
No one went to collect the money because she sold herself.
"Why don't you let me help you!" Lin Yuan muttered to himself, "Why the hell? ”
Incomprehensible, sad, powerless, sad.
Converge into a deep river that can engulf giraffes.

It's a complete holiday, and there are so many people in the train station that they are like ants on a hot pot, densely packed from one end to the other.
Brother Yun sent the suitcase to Lin Yuan, reluctant to give up: "I'll send you here, go back and relax and relax, don't think too much, there may be a turnaround when school starts." ”
Lin Yuan turned to look at them and nodded, "Thank you." ”
Liu Xiaofeng scolded him with a smile: "Fuck your uncle, this semester, you are the first to say thank you to everyone." When school starts, you'll have to be treated. ”
Zhao Zikang also fanned the flames: "You broke the rules, wait to be slaughtered!" ”
"Good!" Lin Yuan felt that the ice on the surface of his heart was beginning to melt, and he smiled knowingly, "When the time comes, you can pick the place." ”
"Let's go, see you next year." Lin Yuan waved his hand and walked away.
Rushed to the waiting hall, just when it was time to board the bus, Lin Yuan found his place through the crowd, put his luggage away, and his mobile phone suddenly rang.
He didn't have time to sit down, and the caller number was an unfamiliar number.
His heart was beating fast, and he clicked on.
"Hey!"
"Lin Laosan, I succeeded, and my revenge has been avenged. I ran, but sooner or later I will be caught. If I hadn't been sentenced to death, remember to have time to see me! ”
In a hurry, the phone was quickly hung up.
The hand holding the phone was completely stiff at this moment, and the brain was booming.
Enmity...... Reported? He thought.
"Find a place to sit! Get out of the way! "Someone shouted from behind.
