In the 80s, Rongcheng did not have the prosperity of an international metropolis in later generations, and there were not many high-rise buildings in the whole Rongcheng, even if there were high-rise buildings, at most they were only four or five stories high, and there were six-storey buildings that could be called buildings.

In the various residential areas, there are more of them bungalows, and occasionally there are some self-built two-story buildings, which stand out from the crowd in a low bungalow.

The place where Gu Qing stood was in a residential area.

Not far in front of her is an alley, at the mouth of the alley grows a big banyan tree that looks very old, the trunk of the banyan tree has to be hugged by several people, because the root system is too developed, there is a large piece of strong and thick roots on the ground, along the trunk upward, the dense branches and leaves extend to all sides with the trunk as the center, forming a large shadow.

In the summer, this shade is the perfect shade for nearby residents.

At this time, the banyan tree was already full of people.

These are the residents of the neighborhood, the old man and the old lady sit on the chaise longue brought by their children, while waving the big pu fan in their hands, while gossiping with the old guys around them, and some of the old men moved the table and set up a pair of chess, and the chariots and horses fought together.

The younger middle-aged housewives gathered together in groups of three or five, or picking vegetables or wearing sweaters, talking about what had happened in each family in the past two days.

There are also strings of small radish heads, and you chase me around the big banyan tree, leaving a cheerful laugh from time to time.

Such a picture can be called a quiet time.

For these people who are enjoying the shade under the banyan tree, they see familiar faces every day, and because of this, as soon as Gu Qing appeared here, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Little girl......" An aunt who looked like she was in her fifties and cleaned up quite neatly said with some curiosity while picking vegetables quickly, "Are you here to find someone?" ”

In just an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Gu Qing's face.

Today's neighbors are not like those of later generations, who lived in the same building for several years and never even met their neighbors a few times.

Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and it is really suitable in an era like this.

Because of this, the surrounding neighbors are very familiar with who are in their homes and what relatives they often come and go.

And Gu Qing ......

There is no doubt that she is a raw face that no one knows.

Being watched by so many people, Gu Qing didn't feel uncomfortable.

Although his mood was a little complicated now, Gu Qing still smiled and nodded at everyone under the banyan tree, and then replied to the old lady's words: "Yes." ”

As soon as she heard this, the old lady became energetic.

The old lady of this age has long since retired from the unit, and usually has nothing else to do except help the daughter-in-law of the family cook and take care of the children, and it is inevitable that she will be a little concerned about the shortcomings of the parents of each family.

No, I heard Gu Qing say that she was looking for someone, but the old lady didn't pick any vegetables, patted her chest, and said: "Little girl, I've lived here for decades, and I'm very familiar with the situation of any house, if you want to find someone, you'll be right to find me!" ”

Then he looked at Gu Qing expectantly, obviously wanting to know which one Gu Qing was looking for.

Hearing the old lady say this, Gu Qing was silent.

She's here to find someone, but she doesn't even know who she's looking for.

It may seem funny to say, but she really doesn't know who she's looking for.

All she knew was where the man was.

Gu Qing's silence made the old lady a little misunderstood, she frowned: "Little girl, aunt also wants to help you, but it's not a bad person, so many people are watching, is it possible that auntie will still be bad to you?" ”

Auntie felt that Gu Qing's vigilance was too strong.

At this time, everyone gathered under the banyan tree also began to help.

"Little girl, although it's a good thing to be vigilant, you don't have to think of everyone as a bad person, Aunt Zhang is a well-known warm-hearted person!"

"That's right, Aunt Zhang is not a bad person, little girl, if you don't know where to find someone, Aunt Zhang can really help you......"

"Yes, yes......"

In the midst of everyone's help, Gu Qing was still silent.

She nodded politely at everyone, "Thank you, auntie, but don't ......"

Then regardless of the surprise in everyone's eyes, he lowered his head and hurried into the alley.

After she left, everyone was still talking.

"This little girl is really, we are not some poisonous snake beast, what is she running?"

It's not always a good experience to be distrusted.

After a while, everyone began to be curious.

"Hey, this little girl is really handsome, you say, where is she coming from?"

"Seeing her enter the alley, we haven't seen this little girl in the alley before, could it be that she made a mistake?"

"Isn't there still the old Wu family?"

"That can't be, wasn't the old Wu family's house taken over a few years ago? It was occupied by those people before, saying that it was going to work, but I didn't hear that it was going back......"

……

As Gu Qing went deeper into the alley, these whispers gradually became inaudible.

All the way forward, Gu Qing finally stopped in front of a courtyard in the deepest part of the alley.

The years of living in this courtyard were the warmest years in Gu Qing's memory of her previous life, after her family left, and only in these few years, she was not alone, but accompanied by someone by her side.

Of course, when the past few years have passed and she has become a person again, Gu Qing will almost collapse.

That man......

Will he be here?

Gu Qing was in a trance.

It took a long time for her to pull away from the memories of her past life, take a deep breath, and reach out to knock on the door.

"Tuk Tuk ......"

Fingers collided with the wooden door, making a dull sound, which was particularly noticeable in this quiet alley.

Gu Qing's heart was a little nervous.

She didn't know if there was anyone in the courtyard, and if there was, if it was, if it was the person she was looking for, and if so, if she could recognize him when she saw him, and how would she say the first thing to him......

Thinking of this, Gu Qing's fists clenched tightly, because he was too hard, even the green tendons on the back of his white hand were faintly visible.

However, as time passed, there was no sound in the courtyard at all, and the tension in Gu Qing's heart gradually calmed down, not only that, but even her heart became a little cold little by little.

No one.

Not only would there be no scenes that she had imagined many times, but she didn't have to think hard about how she was going to say the first thing to that person, but Gu Qing didn't feel happy about it at all.
