Chapter 20: Serendipity

Get! Don't forget to boast about anything, such a spirit Tang Guo really admires the five bodies, anyway, Qin Cang has already taken the idea, she simply stopped wasting her tongue, concentrated on driving, and headed towards Kong Xiaotong's mother's address, although Qin Cang made up his mind to be surprised, it was not good to visit too late after all.

From what they learned before, or Meng Junmao took the initiative to tell them, the father is Kong Xiaotong's biological father, but the mother is indeed Kong Xiaotong's stepmother, in addition to the stepmother, there is also a half-brother who is Kong Xiaotong who also lives with the two old men, and this younger brother seems to have a tense relationship with Kong Xiaotong in Meng Junmao's description, so Kong Xiaotong's stepmother seems to have a lot of criticism about her.

As for whether these are true or not, you will have to wait until you go there to verify it yourself.

Kong Xiaotong's father's house is far away from the scene of the crime, located in a community in the old city, that community has been for some years, and it may have been the first batch of closed communities in the city, but more than ten years have passed since it was built, and the gate of the originally closed community has long been open, allowing people and vehicles to enter and exit at will, and the guard box next to the gate is no one at all, and even the glass windows have long been broken, leaving only empty window frames, full of dust. Tang Guo drove the car directly through the gate, found a relatively spacious open space, parked the car, and then got out of the car with Qin Cang to find the corresponding building number.

The community is relatively old, there are no signs or anything like that, the sky is already dark, and it is not easy to find the number from the building, looking for someone to ask for directions, Qin Cang is disdainful of opening his mouth, so Tang Guo had to go into battle by himself, and met a person in the hall, but I don't know if it was not very lucky, these three people are actually tenants of rent, and it has not been long since they moved over, they only know what building they live in, but they don't know where the one Tang Guo inquired is. Tang Guo was a little depressed, thought about it, and simply changed his strategy, not to ask people of the same age as himself, but to ask older people, but at this time, there are very few middle-aged and elderly people who are active outside, and he didn't meet anyone after walking around.

"Hello, uncle!" Tang Guo hurriedly greeted him, and the other party looked like an old resident who was very familiar with the environment, "I want to ask, where is Building 12?" How do you get there? ”

"Building Twelve?" The old man was stopped by her, paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and said to her, "You want to find Building 12?" Then you come with me, my family lives in Building 12, and I'll take you there. ”

"Oh, then what's embarrassing, you tell me how to go, I'll find it myself, don't delay your own business." Tang Guo was overjoyed, but she was not too embarrassed to trouble this old man.

The old man waved his hand indifferently: "I don't have anything to do, just come out for a walk, walk around, let's go, Building 12 is not easy to find, turn around, or let me take you over, how to find this black light!" ”

"Thank you so much!" Tang Guo hurriedly thanked, "I still have a companion, I'll go and call him over!" ”

The old man nodded, waited in place, Tang Guo trotted all the way over and called Qin Cang, and then took Qin Cang back to meet the old man, the old man saw that Tang Guo brought over a man, and his expression became a little subtle, he looked Qin Cang up and down, snorted in his nose, and said to himself: "These years, it's really different!" A big man, who has hands and feet and lacks nothing, waits there by himself, and lets a little girl run around asking for directions, it doesn't look like it! ”

Qin Cang didn't say anything, but he just glanced at the old man a few more times, Tang Guo pinched a handful of sweat next to him, for fear that Qin Cang would sneer at him when he heard the old man's words, and when the time came, she would annoy this enthusiastic leader, she didn't know where to go and find a reliable person to ask for directions, and now there are not many people in the community.

In fact, Tang Guo knew in his heart that Qin Cang didn't bully himself to ask for directions, he just had a somewhat eccentric personality, so when he couldn't deal with others, he tried to avoid it, just now according to his meaning, two people have eyes and feet, and no one is the kind of person who is very physically wasted, instead of wasting his tongue to ask for directions, it is better to take a walk and take a look, maybe he can find it himself. Tang Guo was shocked by his thoughts, after contacting Qin Cang a few times, she found that this man was indeed very smart, whether it was his thinking or behavior pattern, he had his unique side, it was another thing to get along with him, and in general, he could be regarded as a smart person with a unique style, but this time he stubbornly insisted on using the stupidest and most time-wasting method to find the way, which was really not like his usual style of doing things, so she was very curious and asked about the reason behind it, and Qin Cang's answer to her was this-

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, I hate it most in my life when strangers come to me to inquire about things, and I need to waste my tongue, so I don't want to cause trouble to others when it is my turn." Qin Cang said.

Tang Guo couldn't laugh or cry, and in the end, in order to save time, he had to pat his chest and stop the matter: "You better stop pushing yourself and others, after all, people with similar personalities to you are quite rare, normal people don't think that there is any trouble if someone asks for directions, so you wait here, I'll ask." ”

Now seeing that the old man misunderstood that Qin Cang was a lazy man, and choked Qin Cang a few words without being soft or hard, Tang Guo was also nervous, but fortunately, Qin Cang didn't know if it was because he was in a good mood or for other reasons, so he didn't pay attention to it, Tang Guo hurriedly found a topic and talked with the old man all the way, lest the two of them have a chance to talk.

"Uncle, you've lived here for a long time, haven't you? So familiar with the community! Tang Guo followed the old man and walked on the path in the community, secretly thinking in his heart, if it wasn't for his luck to meet such an old resident, it would be really difficult to find the labyrinth-like layout in this community.

"That's not, I'm here, I can be regarded as the first batch of people to live in, it's almost twenty years in a blink of an eye, I think this community was not so broken, it's pretty good, but then it didn't work, the property was gone, the pipe was abandoned, and many people who lived here moved away." The old man nodded and replied.

"You must know all the old neighbors here, right?" Tang Guo asked again.

The old man waved his hand: "It's okay, some people look down and don't look up, and they can still have a little impression, people now, isn't life just sweeping the snow in front of the door, who cares about whom, each has one." ”

Tang Guo wanted to ask something else, Qin Cang suddenly cleared his throat on the side, and the sound he made quickly attracted the attention of the old man, and he turned his head to look at him, Qin Cang opened his mouth without hurry.

"You are Kong Xiaotong's father." He said to the old man, when he spoke, there was not a trace of doubt in his tone, only full of certainty, and it was obvious that it was not speculation, but a statement of facts.

The old man was stunned for a moment, the expression on his face looked a little confused, but he still nodded: "Yes, I am, Xiaotong is my daughter, yes, who are you?" How do you know my daughter? ”

After Tang Guo heard Qin Cang's words, she was so surprised that she almost forgot what to say, but she also secretly observed it again while the old man was answering Qin Cang's question, and found that this old man took a closer look, and between his eyebrows and eyes he was really a little similar to Kong Xiaotong, if others told him that this was Kong Xiaotong's father, he would definitely feel that the father and daughter looked more similar, but without this premise, because he didn't guess this possibility at all, he completely ignored the obvious physiognomy characteristics in front of him.

"We're just looking for you." Listening to the old man's answer, Qin Cang nodded and said to the old man.

"What's the matter? Is there something wrong with Xiaotong? When the old man heard this, he was a little uneasy.

"Let's talk about it at home, it's not convenient to talk outside." Tang Guo was afraid that what he said outside would irritate the old man.

Kong Xiaotong's father heard her say this, so he nodded: "Okay, you come with me." ”
