XVIII. Two children

The old woman was an enthusiastic person, and she kept beckoning Wei Renwu and Yue Ming to eat fruit, but Wei Renwu and Yue Ming's mind was not on the fruit at all, they just wanted to know the story about the fire faster.

Wei Renwu said: "Old woman, I want to ask, are you familiar with that family?" ”

The old woman smiled and said, "Can you not be familiar with your neighbors?" ”

Wei Renwu said: "So, what is the name of that family?" Does the old woman ever remember? ”

"What's your name?" The old woman fell into deep thought, "What's the name, it seems to be surnamed Zhang, or what's the surname?" ”

Wei Renwu and Yue Ming were a little disappointed, sure enough, when people are older, they are easy to forget, Wei Renwu and Yue Ming don't know if the old woman can still remember the detailed story of the fire?

Yue Ming said: "Old woman, forget if you can't remember, let's talk about the family." ”

The old woman said: "That family, although everyone is a neighbor, but that family actually rarely interacts with us, they are not considered locals, because their hometown is Yingshan, but the couple have lived in Nanjing for a long time, after returning to Yingshan, they lived here for five or six years before they encountered that incident." I don't think the family likes to interact with us, but their kids love to play with the neighborhood and with a kid his age......"

When the old woman said this, she caught Wei Renwu's attention, and Wei Renwu interjected: "A child as old as him? ”

The old woman laughed and said, "Yes, it is also a warm-hearted child, and the two children often help an old grandmother like me, what two good children." ”

Wei Renwu was very curious about the other child, but he didn't want to interrupt the rhythm of the old woman's storytelling, so he said, "Old woman, you can continue to tell the story of these two children." ”

The old woman is a typical lonely old man, the children are not around, the wife is also one step ahead of her, there is no one to talk to at home, now there are two guests at home, although the three are meeting for the first time, the old woman is still very happy, finally someone came to talk to her, this is what she needs most.

The old woman began to gush: "The child of the fire family, the parents do not like to contact with outsiders, except for working in the factory every day, basically do not interact with us, and do not care much about the children, the child is bored alone, and likes to play with another child who is about the same age as him." And this other child was brought by a single mother, and the orphans and widows were also pitiful, but the family was not so closed and often interacted with us. As for the two children, they stick together every day, go to school together, play together, and wear the same clothes, I don't know that they are two families, and I think they are two brothers. ”

Wei Renwu asked at this time: "So, what is the name of the other child, does the old woman remember it?" ”

The old woman laughed and said, "This, I remember, the other child seems to be surnamed Long." ”

"Surname Dragon?" Wei Renwu was shocked, could it be that this other child was Long Qian?

"Hey, is it surnamed Long or Zhang? I'm a little confused, and I don't know much about the two children. The old woman was in a quandary.

Wei Renwu and Yue Ming were really disappointed, it seemed that the old woman was really a little confused.

The old woman still smiled, and said, "I can't remember, I can't remember." ”

Wei Renwu stroked the mustache and said, "Old woman, forget it if you can't remember, let's talk about the fire, you haven't talked about the fire yet." ”

"yes, off topic, off topic." The old woman smiled innocently, laughing like a child, "That fire, it's so miserable, whether this happened after another thing, maybe it was providence or some other reason, I don't know." ”

"Another thing?" Yue Ming said curiously at this time.

"Yes, one day the husband and wife surnamed Zhang took away the child and went to the orphan and widow's house surnamed Long, and had a big quarrel, and the two children were not allowed to have any more contact." Speaking of this, the old woman was a little sad, "I really don't know what the family thinks, it's just two children, as for making such a big fuss?" ”

"What did they do, and why are parents so angry?" Yue Ming wondered.

The old woman shook her head and sighed: "I don't know about this, in short, it was very noisy, the sound of the quarrel could be heard a few streets away, I vaguely heard what the family surnamed Zhang said, it was two boys or something, and what should be in the pig cage, I don't know what the two children did wrong." ”

Wei Renwu said: "Not long after this incident, there was a fire? ”

The old woman said, "That's right, just a few days after that incident, in the middle of the night, a fire broke out, and the raging fire, and the heart-rending screams, so noisy that everyone didn't sleep all night, what a pitiful three people." ”

Yue Ming sighed and said, "Yes, the innocent and tragic parents and the children who lost their parents are indeed pitiful. ”

"Oops, I forgot about that child, no, both children are very pitiful, both have lost their parents, it should be five poor people." The old woman said as if she was confused again, but Wei Renwu had goosebumps when he heard it, and he seemed to have grasped the key part in his heart.

Yue Ming was still like a fool and asked, "Old woman, what do you mean?" You say another child also lost his mother? Did it have anything to do with that fire? ”

"Yes, the fire killed three people, the two husbands and wives of the Zhang family and the widow of the Long family, so the two children became orphans." The old woman spoke clearly.

"Three?" Yue Ming was surprised, "Didn't you just burn two people to death?" ”

The old woman argued, "Who do you listen to?" I remember very well, it was three people who died. ”

Yue Ming looked at Wei Renwu and didn't speak, but his eyes seemed to be asking Wei Renwu, what the hell is going on?

Wei Renwu understood what Yue Ming meant, he leaned into Yue Ming's ear and whispered: "Long Qian often tells the story of his parents killed by fire when he was a child on different occasions, and it will definitely not be all true. ”

Yue Ming nodded, although he was a little sluggish, it didn't mean that he didn't understand that there was something wrong with this matter.

Wei Renwu stood up and said, "Old woman, you said that three people died, that's three people, I'm going to go out for a while." ”

"Are you leaving?" Of course, the old woman didn't want Wei Renwu and Yue Ming to leave at this time, but finally someone could chat with her and listen to her stories.

"Are we leaving?" Yue Ming looked at the poor old woman, and couldn't bear it, thinking that Wei Renwu and he could sit here more, even if it was a minute longer, it would be a great happiness for the old woman.

Wei Renwu pointed at Yue Ming and said, "It's not that we want to go, it's that I'm leaving, you have to stay and accompany the old woman." ”

"I'm staying?" Yue Ming didn't want to stay, he hoped that Wei Renwu could stay with him, and the two of them could share the old man's nagging, and they could feel better, and one person would bear the old man's nagging, no matter how patient this person was, and no matter how sympathetic this person was to the lonely old man, I am afraid that he would also be killed.

Wei Renwu stroked his mustache and grinned: "That's right, it's you who stay, you can chat with the old woman, I know that you are a kind child, and you will definitely be willing to accompany the old man more." ”

Yue Ming glanced at the old woman, the old woman clapped her palms, smiled at him, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, it's not bad to have this young man with me." ”

Yue Ming turned his face again, looked at Wei Renwu with blank eyes, and said with a pout, "What about you?" What are you going to do? ”

Wei Renwu said: "Of course I have something to do. ”

Yue Ming still wanted to struggle a little more, and said, "Then I have nothing to do?" Can't I do things with you? ”

Wei Renwu said: "This matter, it is enough for me to do it alone, why are you blindly following me?" Don't you want to accompany the elderly? ”

"Huh? It turns out that the young man dislikes me, an old man! The old woman gagged, and seemed a little unhappy.

Yue Ming hurriedly smiled and said, "Of course I do, I like to chat with the old man the most, it feels like chatting with my grandmother." Yue Ming really couldn't struggle, so he could only silently accept this reality.

"yes, yes, that's a great guy." The old woman smiled brightly again, smiling innocently like a child.

Wei Renwu said to Yue Ming: "Then you can stay here, and I will go back as soon as I go." ”

Yue Ming pursed his lips and said, "I only hope you don't go for too long." ”

"Don't worry, I'll be soon." Wei Renwu said goodbye to the old woman again, "Old woman, then I'll go first." ”

"Go ahead." The old woman waved goodbye to Wei Renwu.

As soon as Wei Renwu walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something, and he turned back again.

Yue Ming said happily: "Mr. Wei, aren't you leaving?" ”

Wei Renwu shook his head solemnly and said, "No, I still have to go, but I think of something and want to ask the old woman." ”

"What's the matter?" The old woman and Yue Ming asked almost at the same time.

Wei Renwu said to Yue Ming, "Lend me your mobile phone." ”

"Don't you have a cell phone?" Yue Ming wondered.

"If you are told to bring it, you will bring it, where is there so much nonsense!" Wei Renwu said impatiently.

Yue Ming had no choice but to hand his mobile phone to Wei Renwu.

Wei Renwu took Yue Ming's mobile phone, rummaged through Yue Ming's mobile phone for a long time, and finally turned out a photo, and this photo was a photo of Long Qian with a big face wearing a magic suit.

Wei Renwu handed the photo on his phone to the old woman and asked, "Old woman, do you have an impression of this person?" ”

The old woman squinted her eyes, looked at it for a long time, and replied very surely: "I don't know this child." After speaking, he returned the phone to Wei Renwu.

Wei Renwu asked again, "Are you sure you don't have any impression at all?" ”

The old woman nodded, "I'm pretty sure I don't know this child." ”
