Chapter 18: Gone
Fang Yiqing heard the change in Ye Nian's tone, guessed what he meant, and laughed lightly: "I'm fine, I just passed by the river after school, and I want to call you during the day for fear that you are in class." ”
Ye Nian breathed a sigh of relief.
"I just wanted to ask you...... Is Dr. Song your neighbor? Fang Yiqing asked.
Ye Nian didn't expect that he was here to ask Song Xun about it: "It's a neighbor." ”
"Have you seen him lately?" Fang Yiqing said.
Song Xun? Ye Nian searched quickly in his mind and found that he really hadn't seen him recently, and the reason why he didn't have any impression was because this person really came and went without a trace, and no one knew where he would run tomorrow.
"I haven't seen him lately." Ye Nian said.
Fang Yiqing was silent for a long time, and there was a slight disappointment in his words that could not be concealed.
"Or ...... I'll help you go to his house and ask? Ye Nian felt that Fang Yiqing finally had a friend to talk to, and suddenly said goodbye without saying goodbye, as a bystander, he couldn't help but feel a little unbearable.
"Really?" Fang Yiqing's voice revealed surprise.
He thanked him, and Ye Nian comforted him a few more words before hanging up the phone.
"What a nice guy." Qi Si sighed.
"Song Xun is really, he doesn't know where he went when he threw the patient away." Ye Nian said.
If Song Xun is not at home, the Song family at this time, except for middle-aged and elderly people, is an infant and toddler, this time is estimated to have entered the land of sleep, Ye Nian plans to go again tomorrow afternoon and weekend holiday.
As soon as I entered the house the next afternoon, a fragrance went straight to my nose, and this smell was familiar to Ye Nian--my mother's fried tenderloin. In the town, whatever delicious food the family makes, it will be distributed to the neighbors. Sure enough, as soon as he put down his schoolbag, his mother asked Ye Nian to send some tenderloin to the Song family and the Qi family. Ye Nian thought to himself, just in time to ask about where Song Xun went.
As soon as you enter the door of Song's house, all kinds of daily necessities come into view, and the bottles and cans are neatly placed, not only are they rigid and messy, but they are very lively. Rao has been here many times, and when he comes in again, he can't help but sigh.
Aunt Song was coaxing her youngest son Song Qian to sleep, Uncle Song was not at home, and the two old men were sitting in the courtyard chatting. This one may be the real-life version of "yellow hair hanging down, and happy with yourself." However, just looking at Song Xun, no one would have guessed that it came from such a pyrotechnic family.
Aunt Song is a warm person, she gets along well with her mother, and recently with Aunt Zhao, the three of them often go out to buy vegetables together, in Ye Nian's childhood memories, most of the generation like his mother in Qichun Town are more kind, except for ...... Kiji's mother.
Ye Nian handed a bag of tenderloin to Aunt Song. Aunt Song smiled and asked Ye Nian how his life was in high school, and he had time to play. At the end, Ye Nian asked Brother Song where he was going, but he hadn't seen her recently. Unexpectedly, the smile on Aunt Song's face dissipated a little, and her whole face added a touch of sadness.
Ye Nian wondered, Song Xun has been a child who makes his parents worry about it since he was a child, even too much for adults, he has good grades, and he never asks for anything from his parents, other children have a bubble gum today, tomorrow I will take two bubble gums to overpower you, you have an extra pocket money, I must have an extra one tomorrow. And Song Xun has never had one, he is simply a typical "other people's child". Now that he has grown up, he must also be a person who doesn't cause much trouble, Ye Nian doesn't know what Aunt Song is worried about.
Coming out of the Song family, Ye Nian didn't stay long, so he went to the Qi family with another bag of tenderloin.
Aunt Zhao went out, and Qi Si was home alone. When Ye Nian went in, he was lying on his back on the sofa eating potato chips, and the clattering sound echoed in the cranial cavity, and he didn't hear Ye Nian come in. Seeing that he looked like a corrupt landlord, Ye Nian couldn't help but want to laugh.
Ye Nian tiptoed to Qi Si, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, and shouted: "Brother, collect protection money!" ”
Qi Si almost choked on the potato chips that he didn't swallow, and he almost jumped up from the sofa.
Ye Nian looked at him like this, and he laughed so much that his head was deprived of oxygen.
"Collecting protection money? You're asking for your life. Qi Si sat up and stuffed half a bag of potato chips into Ye Nian's hand.
Ye Nian took two big breaths to calm down: "The tenderloin made by my mother is for you." I just sent it to Aunt Song. ”
"Is Song Xun at home?" Qi Si took a piece of tenderloin and stuffed it into his mouth, "Hey, it's delicious, thank you Auntie for me." ”
Ye Nian shook his head: "Aunt Song didn't say anything, and he didn't know where the eldest son was, but when it came to Song Xun, she seemed to be very worried." ”
"What's the matter, Song Xun looks good." Qiji said.
Ye Nian did not deny it: "I heard Aunt Song say that Song Xun did well in the college entrance examination, but he didn't go to college, followed a master to study psychology, and then went abroad." The whole process didn't make the family worry at all, so Aunt Song was worried. ”
Qiji: "...... Yes? ”
Ye Nian knew that Qi Si didn't understand, but in fact, he didn't understand it too much. He organized the language: "I think...... Probably Aunt Song hopes that Song Xun will rely more on his parents like other children. ”
It's really a scripture that is difficult to read.
Song Xun is not at home, and his family does not know where he went, this news may affect the mood of the sick Fang Yiqing very much. Ye Nian planned to ask him out to eat and chat together.
Let's make an appointment until tonight.
Qi Si accompanied Aunt Zhao out to buy something. After Ye Nian finished calling Fang Yiqing, he lay on the bed in a big shape, he originally wanted to take out his notes and memorize them for a while, but he didn't expect to fall asleep in a daze while lying down.
Not long after he slept for a long time, Ye Nian was woken up by a sound of talking at the door, and he got out of bed only to feel that his bones were crispy. My hair was also gone, and I didn't have time to tie it and went out to see what was going on outside.
Mother stood outside the door, as well as Qi Si and Aunt Zhao and a few neighbors, who were talking to the door of Qi Si's house, Ye Nian walked over and saw that on the stone wall to the left of the gate of Qi's house, two big words were painted with red paint - "pay back". Two large bright red letters are printed on the gray wall, which is particularly eye-catching.
He walked behind Qi Si and tugged at Qi Si's clothes: "When is this ......?"
"Just a moment after my aunt and I went out." Qi Si frowned slightly, and then glanced at Ye Nian, "The hair is scattered." ”
"The heart is really big, and I still have the mood to manage my hair, can this word be brushed off?" Ye Nian glanced at the number of onlookers around him, most of them didn't know about Qi Si's family situation, and now they didn't know what impression they could leave behind.
"I'm going to buy some detergent." "Isn't it almost time to eat?" ”
"Well, I'll go with you."
"No, you can go eat, I'll go buy it and come back to wash the wall."
"Okay, then...... Stay safe. Ye Nian said.
"Got it, what a good guy, let's go." Kiji smiled at him.
This time, Qi Si didn't say that Ye Nian was verbose, because both of them understood that the phrase paying attention to safety was definitely not a polite word, and the people who sprayed the paint must be the ones who lent money, and they could pick up the words for a short period of time when there was no one at home, it must be paying attention to Qi Si and Aunt Zhao's every move, as for how they paid attention, it is unknown.
Ye Nian sighed and went to Changshui Street. The days are getting shorter, and the sky is getting darker and earlier, and at this time, Changshui Street is already brightly lit, and the white smoke in front of the barbecue restaurant is thick and dispersed, leaving a smell of cumin.
Ye Nian entered the hotel that he had made an appointment, Fang Yiqing had already arrived, Ye Nian was a little surprised, Fang Yiqing seemed to be in a slightly better state than when he first met, although the whole person was still melancholy and unhappy, after all, depression is not so easy to heal, but it is not so exaggerated.
The two chatted for a while, Ye Nian thought that he was as old as himself, but it turned out that he was in his third year of high school.
"I have to call you Brother Fang...... It doesn't seem to sound good. Ye Nian said.
"You just called me Qingxing, and we're not a few years old." Fang Yiqing smiled.
This seems to be the first time they have introduced themselves in more detail since they met. I thought it was the fate of Pingshui meeting, but I didn't expect that I would become friends so many times.
When Song Xun was mentioned, Fang Yiqing sighed: "Brother Xun is really a very good person, every three or four days after evening self-study, he called me out to play and take a walk with me, I don't even think that this is a doctor treating the patient, it's like ......" Fang Yiqing lowered his eyes a little sadly, "It's like friends and friends are relaxing." ”
Ye Nian was silent.
"Maybe Brother Xun has a lot of sick numbers, this is his treatment, but I didn't expect him to leave without saying hello. But I'm really grateful to him for helping me for so long. Fang Yiqing's eyes showed a hint of disappointment.
Ye Nian thought, threw away the half-cured illness number and ran away, and Song Xun came out capable. Looking at Fang Yiqing's appearance, Ye Nian even blamed himself a little for calling Song Xun in the first place, but after thinking about it, Qi Si was right, he couldn't blame himself for everything, he had to see who was wrong.
Thinking of Qi Si, I don't know if he has finished cleaning the walls now.
After eating, Fang Yiqing went back to the single dormitory he rented, Ye Nian also walked back, chatting with Fang Yiqing very closely, he was in a good mood. I remembered that my mother seemed to ask him to buy something before going out, and the big colander was still a stir-fry shovel......
I dialed my mother's phone, and it rang for four or five seconds: "Mom, what do you want me to buy?" ”
"Rolling pin, it's a little smaller, have you finished eating, come back early." Ye Mu said.
It wasn't a colander or a shovel......
Ye Nian was just about to hang up the phone, when he suddenly remembered Qi Si, so he asked casually: "Did Qi Si buy detergent, can you wash that word off?" ”
"Didn't Xiao Si go out to dinner with you?" Ye Mu asked.
Ye Nian stopped.
"I went to look for you Aunt Zhao just now, but Xiao Si didn't come back."
Ye Nian hung up the phone.
Qi Si ...... Where did it go?
