Chapter 17: Visiting
Du Li didn't look up at Zi Shumo, just nodded randomly.
Tu Xiuwen looked at Zi Shumo, and suddenly felt that his smiling face was like a fox, an elegant, gentle, and polite fox.
Zi Shumo was still staring at Du Li intently, as if she was the most beautiful girl in the world.
Du Li didn't dare to look at him nervously, and her voice was lower than before:
"We all drank a lot of wine that night, and when we tried our courage, it was originally me and Qinqing together, but Qu Dian dragged Qinqing into the woods together. At that time, many people came to toast Qinqing during the meal, and I helped her block a lot of wine, and I was already a little top-heavy. Later, I went in with Gao Peng, and when I entered the woods, I didn't meet Qinqing and Qudian. Later, I was really very sleepy, and I thought that she had nothing to do with Qu Dian, so I went to sleep first. When I woke up the next morning, I remembered that I hadn't seen Liu Jingqing all night, so I hurried to look for it, and I searched every tent, but I didn't see it. I asked everyone again, and everyone was stunned, and no one seemed to notice where Qin Qin was going. I also asked Qu Dian, and he said that after he and Qin Jing came out of the woods, they were dragged by Fei Feng and them to continue drinking, and they didn't know where Qin Jing went. ”
As she spoke, Du Li's voice became choked, and Tu Xiuwen on the side hurriedly pulled out a tissue and handed it to Du Li.
Du Li sobbed and said thank you, wiped her tears with a tissue, looked at Tu Xiuwen and said, "You also know what happened after that, so you don't need me to say more, right?" ”
Tu Xiuwen nodded and gently patted Du Li's shoulder.
The three of them were silent for a while, and the atmosphere became solemn again.
Zi Shumo touched his neck, and suddenly said, "Liu Jingqing shouldn't have any brothers and sisters in his family, right?" ”
Tu Xiuwen shook her head in confusion, not understanding why he asked.
"The white-haired person sends the black-haired person, Liu Jingqing's parents must be very sad, right?" Zi Shumo looked at Du Li and asked softly.
"Well, when I held a funeral for Qinqing, I looked at her parents, and I felt that they were much older in an instant, and it was sad to look at." As she spoke, Du Li wiped away another handful of tears.
"Why don't we go visit them?" Zi Shumo proposed.
Tu Xiuwen blinked a few times and looked at Zi Shumo, and soon guessed that Zi Shumo was planning to take the opportunity to go to Liu Jingqing's house to investigate, so he immediately went to settle the bill. Regardless of whether Du Li was willing or not, she dragged her to Liu Jingqing's house with her.
On the way to Liu Jingqing's house, Tu Xiuwen also bought a fruit basket and some nutritional products, and it was always a bit unreasonable to visit other people's homes empty-handed.
Liu Jingqing's family lives in an old neighborhood on the edge of Cuizhu Town, and there are several elderly people wearing heavy cotton jackets on the side of the street, who are not afraid of the cold wind to play mahjong together.
Du Li led the way in front and led the two up to the third floor.
Zi Shumo glanced at it, and there was a gray white paper flower stuck to the door of one of the rooms, and at first glance, it was that someone in the family had passed away, and most of that family was Liu Jingqing's home.
Sure enough, Du Li stopped in front of the door of the room with white paper flowers glued, raised her hand and knocked on the door.
In the middle of the night, there was a sound of heavy footsteps in the room, and a crack opened the door, and a foul smell of wine wafted out of the crack.
Zi Shumo's five senses were originally more sensitive than others, and this smell made him quite uncomfortable.
A man with a stubble on his face and gray hair looked at everyone with half-squinted eyes: "You, who are you looking for?" ”
"Uncle Liu, it's me, I'm Du Li, this is my classmate with Qinqing-Tu Xiuwen, this is her college classmate." Du Li cautiously introduced the two of them, but did not continue.
Tu Xiuwen was very clever, and hurriedly said with an apologetic smile: "Uncle Liu, I am studying in other places, I just came back from vacation yesterday, and I heard about Qinqing, it turns out that we have a good relationship at school, so let's take a look at you." ”
Father Liu listened in a daze, and after a while, a trace of sadness appeared on his sluggish face, nodded and opened the door a little, and let the three of them into the room.
The smell in the house was even more unpleasant, the room was messy and there was no place to put feet, the curtains were closed, and a small shrine against the wall was lit with two permanent lamps made in the shape of candles, through which you could see that the shrine was enshrined with a picture of Liu Jingqing. Liu Jingqing in the photo is smiling, with a shy look unique to a girl.
"Qinqing, your classmates have come to see you!" Father Liu fell crookedly and shook in front of the shrine, either kicking over the wine bottle or knocking down the chair along the way, Du Li, who was following him, hurriedly reached out to help him, Tu Xiuwen was busy helping him straighten the chair on the ground, Zi Shumo carried the gift in both hands, and looked around looking for an open space where he could put things.
Father Liu walked to the shrine, grabbed the incense stick on it in a daze, lit it with great difficulty, and inserted it on the incense burner indiscriminately, and Du Li on the side hurriedly helped him insert the incense stick steadily.
"Sit, sit, sit." Father Liu waved his hand at the three of them in a daze.
Zi Shumo's hands were not empty, he looked around, and said in his heart: There is no place to put things, where can I sit?
Tu Xiuwen walked to the shrine and lit incense, and bowed to Liu Jingqing's photo, I don't know if it was because the cigarette was blind, or because I felt sad when I saw Liu Jingqing's photo in this situation, in short, I felt that my nose was sour, and my eyes were filled with tears.
Du Li helped Father Liu aside and sat down, and began to clean up with ease, and waved to Chong Zishumo, asking him to put everything in his hand on the table.
After Zi Shumo put down his things, he also came to the shrine and gave Liu Jingqing a pillar of incense in the same way. Looking at Liu Jingqing's portrait, Zi Shumo was also a little sad in his heart, although he didn't know Liu Jingqing, but watching the life of a flower wither like this before it bloomed, how could it not make people sigh.
"Uncle Liu, where's Aunt Gu?" Tu Xiuwen also helped Du Li clean up a small area and reluctantly sat down.
Father Liu grabbed a wine bottle that was about to reach the bottom with one hand, propped up the table with the other, and poured another sip of wine with a frown.
"She, hmph, she, I don't know, who knows!" Father Liu muttered in a daze.
Zi Shumo sighed secretly, and said in his heart: It seems that Aunt Gu hasn't been home for a while, otherwise this family wouldn't be like this! It's strange to think about it, I saw that Aunt Gu yesterday still looking like a spring breeze, and there was no resemblance to the drunk man in front of her.
"Uncle Liu, can we go and see Qinqing's room?" Tu Xiuwen asked cautiously.
Father Liu nodded paradoxically, raised his hand and pointed to a closed door, and then immediately propped himself up on the table, as if he was going to fall down at any moment.
The three of them looked at him worriedly, got up and walked to the door.
Pushing open the door, Tu Xiuwen felt as if she had entered another world! It's just a door, one side is a dark and dirty room, and the other side is a neat and bright room, and you can even faintly smell the slightest indescribable aroma.
Zi Shumo couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling that he was about to be smoked to death by the room just now, and he felt like he was going to die after the catastrophe!
