The square-faced taxi driver couldn't believe that he was lucky today until he passed the toll booth, and he inexplicably received such a long-distance order, and the guests did not ask for a meter or bargain. Originally, the passenger got on the bus from the museum to the Tongyu Building was only a starting price distance, and there were few people near Tongyu who wanted a car shortly after he went to work in the afternoon, so he really didn't want to run this trip, that is, looking at the trembling old man and the children accompanying him, his heart softened a little, but he didn't expect kindness to really return: when he arrived at the place, the car had not stopped and ran to such a big order in a hurry.

When the speed was stable and the road conditions were clear after getting on the highway, the driver couldn't help but observe the young woman who didn't say a word in the rearview mirror: from the moment she got into the car, she looked out the window with a dull gaze, her brows deep and her lips pale. The driver looked at the road again, and was almost infected by the sadness emanating from the female passenger, and asked in a low voice for a while: "Sister, is there an emergency at home?" I'll do it as soon as possible, don't worry. The artery in Shi Jiaojiao's neck twitched inexplicably, and she stretched out her hand and waved weakly, indicating that she didn't want to speak.

The chartered bus is really much faster, the bus is almost five hours away, and the taxi takes an hour less. After getting off the highway, the driver turned around and asked Shi Jiaojiao where to go to City A, Shi Jiaojiao looked at the driver's face in a daze, and then realized that she didn't know where to go. Her expression was extremely sad, her eyes were red, her upper teeth were biting her lower lip, and her whole body was trembling, "I don't know, wait until I think about it." "The driver banged on the steering wheel and didn't know what to say.

Soon Shi Jiaojiao spoke, "To go to the villa area, first pass a townhouse with white decorations, and then pass a road overgrown with big trees, which has detached houses far apart...... Do you know such a place? The driver shook his head, "What kind of address is this, I can't find it even if I'm a taxi driver!" You go find a local driver, maybe you can know ......" Shi Jiaojiao lowered her eyes and handed out the amount quoted by the driver before getting into the car. Shi Jiaojiao didn't expect the driver to return six hundred yuan, she pinched a roll of banknotes, stood in the taxi drop-off area of the station, and felt dizzy.

stopped three or four cars, the driver categorically refused when he heard the address, and finally asked Shi Jiaojiao to get in the car, with a big scab on the corner of his mouth, I don't know if it was a moment of kindness or taking advantage of the fire to rob. Shi Jiaojiao didn't care about anything, and asked the other party to drive when she got in the car with the money. Along the way, she tried to recall the night when Tang Jianyu took her home from City B: yes, he took him off the highway, passed the station just now, and drove past the landmark hotel building like the current route...... Shi Jiaojiao was at the window, except to find Tang Jianyu's home, she had nothing on her mind.

"Look here, wow? The townhouses of the white houses used to be single-family areas. It's amazing to live here, I can't afford to live with a few dollars......" Shi Jiaojiao's eyes widened to identify the things outside the window, those houses and trees, and everything that rushed by that night, like or not...... Shi Jiaojiao trembled her lips, and her eyes were foggy. The driver looked at the wide and clean boulevard, and there was an old man who was dragged across the road by a large dog.

"If it weren't for here, I would still know a similar place, there are a lot of villas in City A, but there are only two close to the city." The driver scratched his nose and said. Shi Jiaojiao asked the driver to open the window, she squinted her eyes and stuck out her head, and the wind came through the whole city, blowing the same leaves "lala" straight sound, like a collective mockery. Shi Jiaojiao shook her head coquettishly, "It's impossible to find it, forget it." The driver smacked his lips, "Then what do you say now, you have to pay more for me to go back empty......"

Shi Jiaojiao's head was about to crack, she wanted to know what she should do at the moment, what she could do! She didn't know anything, but she squeezed her head and thought desperately, "No, no, I must know, I must see with my own eyes!" The driver was about to smoke a cigarette, but when he saw the passenger's crazy appearance, he put away the lighter and exclaimed, "Little girl, don't scare me!" Shi Jiaojiao stood on the glass with five fingers, looked at the driver, and suddenly said: "There is a XX bar on XX Road, you should always know this, right?" The driver immediately said that he knew, and Shi Jiaojiao said, "Go there immediately." ”

The bar's signboard was torn down and the outside was covered with protective netting. The driver turned his head to look at his strange guest and said regretfully, "It seems to be closed." Shi Jiaojiao sent the car money, got out of the car without saying a word, and rushed towards the construction site. The driver put the fare he received in his bag, hummed a local tune in a good mood, turned around and drove out of the intersection, where he soon found three new guests.

When Shi Jiaojiao walked through the protective net, the two workers were busy measuring and didn't notice that someone had entered. The room was dark, except for the bar with lights on, and a waiter-like young boy wiping something around the wine cabinet. Shi Jiaojiao rushed to the bar and blurted out, "Is your boss here?" The boy was stunned for a moment, and said casually: "I'm sorry, the store is not open for decoration." Shi Jiaojiao shook her head, "I'm looking for your boss, I'm in a hurry!" The boy stopped what he was doing, not knowing what to do with the situation in front of him.

"What's the situation?" A middle-aged man walked over, Shi Jiaojiao turned her head and immediately bypassed the counter, greeted him and said, "Brother, do you remember me?" I'm looking for you boss Jin. The middle-aged man with the big gold chain scratched his round head, and didn't think about it for a long time, "Who are you!" Shi Jiaojiao was anxious, and had to explain further, "A few years ago, it was in that position!" Shi Jiaojiao pointed to one place, "Your boss's younger brother, a group of young people bullying a girl, you brought her to the office?" I'm that girl, remember? ”

The man who had already helped Jin Hua take charge of another new store finally remembered and patted his head, "It's you, his student!" Shi Jiaojiao nodded like pounding garlic, and said hurriedly: "What about others, are you there?" I'm looking for him in a hurry! The man grinned in embarrassment, "It's a misfortune that you're here, he came to the store yesterday, and today he said he was going to someone's funeral." "Ahh Shi Jiaojiao screamed miserably, her eyes cracked, "What did you say!" She felt that her eyes were dark, and she had to hold on to the platform next to her so that she did not fall.

Shi Jiaojiao was obviously in a hurry, trembling all over her body and unable to say a word. When the middle-aged man saw that the situation was serious, his expression became flustered, and he said, "You, what are you talking about, I'll call him, call him!" At this moment, the bar boy timidly called the boss, and Jin Hua's voice came, "What are you doing, the batch of wine that came the day before yesterday didn't call anyone into the warehouse, and it was still in my office......" He walked to the man's side, only to feel the atmosphere weird, and looked down to see a girl curled up and leaning against the counter.

"This ......" Before Jin Hua could speak, Shi Jiaojiao raised her head and asked miserably, "Has he already been buried?" Jin Hua was startled, and only then did he recognize who the gray-faced girl in front of him was, "Shi Jiaojiao!" Why are you here? Shi Jiaojiao seemed to see something unbelievable, and kept shaking her head, "How come, aren't you his good friend?" Jin Hua stared at the middle-aged man in confusion, and the middle-aged man and the bar guy were both frightened, "This girl is like crazy when she comes!" ”

Jin Hua waved his hand at the two, stepped forward to support Shi Jiaojiao's shoulder, and said very softly, "Follow me." Shi Jiaojiao stood up obediently as if she had been summoned, and followed Jin Hua's footsteps towards the office inside. On the way, Shi Jiaojiao kept asking, "Has he been buried?" "Did you see him for the last time?" "Is he really dead?" "Why does he always lie to me?" …… Jin Hua finally figured out a little clue, and after standing still, he asked, "Are you talking about your Teacher Tang?" ”

As soon as Shi Jiaojiao heard this title, her facial features immediately wrinkled together, and she was about to cry, but she didn't know what kind of willpower she relied on, so she pressed it down again, shook her head and said, "No, I mean Tang Jianyu." Mr. Jin, you don't have to hide it from me, I saw it all on the news. The Internet is full of news about the death of a Chinese man and a young scholar surnamed Tang on a flight from Paris...... "Jin Hua leaned on the mahogany desk, half-open his mouth and frowned, as if he didn't understand Shi Jiaojiao's words.

Shi Jiaojiao covered her heart, not so much talking to people as muttering to herself. "Did you see him for the last time? Did you attend his funeral? So you can face it......" Shi Jiaojiao lowered her head and looked at her hands, "I used all my strength." I jumped into a taxi...... I desperately remembered his route home...... I can't find it, and neither can the driver. The house and the road are the same, how can I be a road idiot? He used to say I was a road idiot...... I don't believe it, I can't believe it! ”

"You tell me, Mr. Jin, you said, this is not true...... You ......" Shi Jiaojiao was already out of control, her eyes were red and she glared at Jin Hua, grabbing his arm! Jin Hua finally figured out the situation, he looked at the old student who was on the verge of collapse, pulled out his hand and grabbed her shoulder, and said, "Shi Jiaojiao! Shi Jiaojiao, you look at me, you calm down. Shi Jiaojiao shook her head quickly, but her eyes did not take her eyes off Jin Hua's face, "I can't calm down, do you know who he is?" Do you know how long I've known him? When I was a little girl...... Now, he's dead......"

Jin Hua exhaled a breath of turbidity, and calmly watched Shi Jiaojiao continue to talk to herself, she showed great pain, and her eyes spread as if she was about to die. "Don't get nervous about me!" Jin Hua's tone was fierce, but her arms used the greatest strength to support the body she wanted to spread.

She moved her eyes, as if she was disappointed, and actually sneered at Jin Hua. Jin Hua smacked his lips and asked helplessly, "Have you called him?" Shi Jiaojiao opened her mouth, and after a long time, she lost her mind and said, "It's hit, it can't get through." From last year to now, from now on, it will never be through again......" Jin Hua held Shi Jiaojiao with one hand, told her to stand up, and took out his mobile phone from his pants pocket with the other.

Shi Jiaojiao tilted her head to look at Jin Hua, staring blankly at him doing something in vain.
