Chapter 3: Inexplicable Disappearance
The girl on the screen, no matter my demeanor or appearance, is carved out of the same mold as Meimei.
The aunt didn't say that this was her own granddaughter.
The aunt is still very sad and stays where she is. There were more and more people in front of the fried chicken restaurant, and I was about to say something, but at this moment, someone tapped me on the shoulder.
Looking back, it was Liang Yuan.
"Tang Xiaofan, you really can't control this matter, go back."
I hurriedly pointed to the girl on the mobile phone screen and asked Liang Yuan: "Look at this child, is she Meimei?" She didn't say that it was her granddaughter Jingjing, what kind of quietness is this, this is obviously Meimei! ”
I was very sure when I said this.
Because the girl in this photo is so familiar to me.
For a while, she lived with me in a cubicle on the second floor of the noodle shop every day, and many times when I woke up suddenly at night, I would look at her sleeping face and let my mood slowly calm down.
So, how could I possibly mistake her face.
Unexpectedly, after Liang Yuan looked at the photo, he looked at me again: "Meimei, who is it?" ”
"You don't know Meimei?"
I looked at Liang Yuan, he wasn't joking, apart from me, Mei Mei probably relied on the person the most, and that was him. I pointed to the fried chicken restaurant and said,
"It's that child, we got it from Grandma Hu's house, and later, she was sent to a welfare home, and we plan to find a chance to get her back......"
"Tang Xiaofan, what are you talking about?"
Liang Yuan looked at me with a frown: "It's true that Grandma Hu and her husband are dead, but you suddenly have a Meimei here, I really can't keep up with your rhythm, that Grandma Hu doesn't even have children, where is her granddaughter." ”
Hearing this, I was even more confused.
Following Liang Yuan back to the noodle shop, I saw Li Jiale eating cold crucian carp.
The crucian carp is tender and spiny, and Li Jiale eats it very carefully.
At his dining table, fish bones are neatly arranged. Even if it was as small as an eyebrow, he spit it out and put it aside.
Li Jiale didn't care about us staring at him at all, and still ate the fish seriously.
It wasn't until he spit out the last bone of the fish that Li Jiale took out a tissue and wiped his mouth: "It's almost time, I'm leaving, just according to what we just discussed, next week, I'll arrange the master and let him come over to have a look." ”
When Liang Yuan heard this, he hurriedly said okay.
When Li Jiale was leaving, he glanced at me: "Tang Xiaofan, I eat a little too much, I have to go shopping, you accompany me around this Huaihua Street Night Market." ”
Visiting a night market?
I'm a big man with you, what night market is there to visit?
Just as he was about to refuse, Li Jiale grabbed my hand: "Let's go, I want to buy some fruits, and then see what good flowers and plants there are, I made a yard and want to enrich my ......"
As he spoke, he pulled me out.
I glanced back at Liang Yuan and suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the way he looked at us.
Li Jiale pulled my hand hard.
He looked at me and said very seriously: "Tang Xiaofan, let's go out for a walk, perhaps, we will find something new." ”
I groaned.
But standing still and not moving, I looked at Liang Yuan again, I don't know why, his eyes made me very scared.
After going through all the things in the rental house, I noticed that he became a little stranger.
At least, there was a deviation from the person I remembered.
I saw Liang Yuan, who was standing in the middle of the store, and after a slight pause, he suddenly waved his hand at me: "Tang Xiaofan, you go, Li Jiale wants to visit the night market, it's a good thing, walk two hundred meters ahead, there is a stall to buy flowers and plants, meaty or something, a bunch of them, and fortune trees, you can take a look!" ”
With that, he cleaned up the table where he had just eaten.
I looked back at Li Jiale: "Let's go." ”
At this time, the Huaihua Street Night Market is really the most popular.
Li Jiale walked around one stall after another, he was full of curiosity about the things around him, and he felt very strange when he looked at everything.
I couldn't help but be a little strange: "You don't usually go out?" ”
"Very little."
He replied to me: "I usually stay in the store, the business in the store is very good, people come and go, I can't leave." As he spoke, he paused and said, "Actually, I really want to go out for a walk, but there is always a rope leading me, and I really don't have a chance." ”
I said, "The business is good, and it's making money." ”
"What's the use of making so much money. Tang Xiaofan, think about it, if a person is lying in bed and knows everything in his head, but he can't say a word, he can't move, that kind of taste is the most uncomfortable. ”
When Li Jiale said this, he looked very relaxed, but I chuckled in my heart.
Lying alone in bed, he knows everything in his head, but he can't say it or move. At that time, my first feeling was, my dad Tang Sihai is now, isn't that the case?
As we continued to walk forward, Li Jiale looked at a lot of things, but he only picked them up and fiddled with them a few times, but he didn't buy them.
This made the stall owners look a little unhappy.
Seeing that I was a little embarrassed, Li Jiale didn't seem to care: "Tang Xiaofan, you don't have to worry about what they think, we just need to live in our own world, what outsiders think, it doesn't matter at all, whether they exist or not, it's all a position, perhaps, the world we live in has always been just revolving around us." ”
Before he could react to what he meant, Li Jiale pointed ahead and said, "That's it!" ”
It was a flower stall.
It's huge, enough to take up three stalls.
There were many people in front of the stall looking at the flowers, and people had different expressions, some had already bought them, and some were still choosing. Li Jiale pointed to one of the pots of flowers and asked the stall owner:
"What is this?"
The stall owner scanned the QR code and handed it to a girl who bought flowers and said: "That's a red girl, the leaves can be soaked in water, clear the heat and dissolve the map, and you can also fry the meat after drying, and the taste is the same as the taste of plum vegetables." ”
Hearing this, I quickly turned my gaze over.
Sure enough, that thing was the "Red Girl".
The color of this "Red Girl" is much darker than what I saw in Xia Hong's house, and the veins on the leaves are very familiar to me as soon as I see them.
Li Jiale paid for a pot of "Red Girl".
Let's continue to move forward, and at this moment, my mood is not as relaxed as it was just now.
I kept staring at the pot in his hand.
Seeing that I reflected like this, Li Jiale asked me: "Tang Xiaofan, recently, are you like me, you found that there are many people and many things around, obviously it happened, but it disappeared inexplicably?" ”
