Chapter 256: Touch
"Didn't you send me to work in a medical device factory to pay back the money, I accidentally drank with that group of out-of-town guests." The boy consciously occupied the only seat next to the bed, "so it's also the name I overheard." ”
"They let one of your children drink with someone?" Even though his mind was already filled with all kinds of questions, Ling Shucheng couldn't help but frown at this detail.
"Oh, I was going to eat...... Oh no, that's not the point right now. The boy waved his hand, "Anyway, everyone got a little drunk later, and I heard them spitting and pulling people to talk about their recent deaths." ”
"Nine deaths?" Ling Shucheng half-sat up with the head of the bed, his back stiffened, "What do you mean?" ”
"This is most likely Miss Yuan, who is your acquaintance, and in their mouths, she is probably a villain." The young man's cheeks were much rounder compared to when they first met, and it was obvious that the recent food was not bad, "It is said that she is a knowledgeable outsider but 'aids and abuses', if it weren't for their cleverness and cleverness, they might not have been able to get out of that deep mountain and old forest." ”
"Can you be a little more specific?" Ling Shucheng stared at him motionlessly, and his tone was very earnest.
"I don't know. No matter how confused their brains are by alcohol, they won't tell us anything, not to mention that I was drunk at that time. The boy scratched his face, "Anyway, judging from the bits and pieces I remember, they seem to have some love-hate entanglement with a group of people who live in the mountains for more than ten years, and they have been separated for several years. But some of their recent experiments have not gone well, and the situation is getting worse and worse, so they want to temporarily cram, to see if they can get some information from the past back. ”
I'm afraid it's not that simple. Ling Shucheng quickly came to a conclusion in his heart. This vague statement can be said to be full of loopholes, but it does contain a lot of information, leaving a lot of room for the audience's imagination.
"Does their past have anything to do with this group of people who settled in the mountains?" Ling Shucheng pondered the words "love and hate", and sketched a vague guess in his heart, "Otherwise, why would they be trapped by this group of people on the way to find this?" ”
According to what they revealed, finding this group of people who had been lost to them for many years was originally one of the purposes. It's just that they didn't expect that the appearance of several unexpected faces brought them a lot of trouble. The boy replied, "Among them, the little girl named Yuan Sui was particularly impressed because she tied a few of them with her own hands. ”
"Yes. Manipulating a rope is not a very common ability. Ling Shucheng nodded.
"It's not all. The guests agreed that she was one of the more reasonable kidnappers, and often advised the others not to take senseless revenge, lest they regret it in the future, so that they could survive later. ”
“…… Yes, she was right. Ling Shucheng took the time to glance at Zhai Yiwen. I was not surprised to see that the other party was also affirmative, "What else?" ”
"No, that's all." The boy stretched out his hands, "That's not enough. Seriously, if it weren't for the fact that her name was so catchy, I might not have been able to remember it. ”
"Well, the last three questions. 1. What exactly does this group of your guests do? Second, why can they be sure that they have found the current position of a group of people who have been separated for many years? Seeing the confusion on the young man's face, Ling Shucheng knew that he couldn't answer, so he sighed halfway before adding, "Okay, I'll change to a relatively more meaningful question, where are these guests now, do you know?" ”
"They left the same night after drinking. It seems that there is something urgent, and I am in a hurry to find my boss to buy goods. The boy understood what he meant, and blinked his eyes and asked, "What was your original third question?" ”
"You probably wouldn't know." Ling Shucheng had roughly given up getting more information from the young man's mouth, "The place where they were held before, or rather, the specific location of the 'deep mountains and old forests'. ”
"It seems to be far away from here, why, do you still want to go and look for it?" The boy shook his head, "Save your energy." Don't say I really don't know, and even if I do, it's useless for you to go over now. ”
"Why?"
"That place has been burned down by them." Experiencing the invisible pressure from the other party's serious tone, the young man swallowed carefully, "They seem to have escaped through the fire...... In short, it's a very complicated matter, and I really don't know if it's superfluous. ”
Ling Shucheng lowered his head and stopped answering, and the room suddenly fell silent. The boy opened his mouth hesitantly, and wanted to say something comforting, but in the end he stopped halfway.
He saw the delicate face of the patient in front of him, his eyelashes fluttering in the sun. Anxiety and relaxation changed at the speed of light under the eyes of the young policeman whom he had met by chance. The boy's eyes rolled, and suddenly his head drooped.
There were some reasons, some relationships, and he suddenly figured it out.
"Alright, don't look listless." Zhai Yiwen put his hand on Ling Shucheng's shoulder and laughed sincerely, "At this time, it is fortunate to be able to confirm that people are still alive." What a coincidence, you're lucky. ”
"But it sounds like she's had a hard time lately." Ling Shucheng's face rarely showed such obvious concern, "I'm worried that she will be forced by the situation and be involved in some dangerous things, she-"
The smile on Zhai Yiwen's face narrowed, and he said with a slightly straight face: "Put a hundred hearts." Didn't I say that? Her survivability is definitely stronger than yours, as long as she is not killed all at once, she will definitely be able to blow the spring breeze and be born again. Look at yourself now, she may be living a more nourishing life than you now. ”
"But......" Ling Shucheng hesitated, and finally swallowed the remaining half of the sentence back.
Hope comes and goes faster. Without the support of more details, relying on this known information, it is impossible to determine where Yuan Sui is now. When the sudden joy faded, the tiredness that had been drained of all the strength returned. Ling Shucheng slowly pursed his lips into a line, and it was not really true to listen to anyone who spoke as if he was separated by a layer of shallow water.
“…… So you're listening to me and you're doing a serious analysis? Zhai Yiwen slapped his thigh hard, looking a little angry, "What's there to worry about." If you think about it, as long as she's alive and hasn't been stimulated to amnesia like in some book that sells to make the reader's tears, she must be trying to find us at this time. The two of you have only been separated for two or three months, and there is good news delivered to your door, are you still not satisfied? You can't expect her to fall from the sky all of a sudden......"
At this moment, he saw Ling Shucheng raise his head suddenly, but the focus was obviously in the direction of the door.
"What's the matter, scare me......" The young man snapped and couldn't help but mutter.
After a few seconds, a knock on the door, which was very uniform in frequency and volume, finally sounded. The tension in Zhai Yiwen's eyes and Ling Shucheng's eyes was almost the same, only the young man still had a look on his face.
"Please come in." Ling Shucheng adjusted his sitting posture again, and smoothed out the folds of the horns.
"Looks like I can get off work." Zhai Yiwen hurriedly wiped the water stains on the table with his sleeve, and then coldly reached out and tugged at the corner of the young man's clothes, "Prepare to withdraw." The Lord is coming. ”
The sound of pressing down the doorknob was infinitely lengthened in Ling Shucheng's ears. He took a deep breath seriously, and then slowly relaxed his muscles under Zhai Yiwen's disdainful gaze.
"Why, it's been the first time, and I'm still a little scared?" Zhai Yiwen asked in a low voice.
"You don't seem to be going anywhere naturally." Ling Shucheng also replied in a low voice.
"It seems that he is only the first year old, and he is not afraid of your mother at all." Zhai Yiwen couldn't help but laugh again, "This is very good, it avoids a lot of contradictions that may occur in the future......"
Bai Ji opened the door and walked in with a blank face.
"Oh, you're finally awake." Her voice is on the low side among women, but it matches the aura on her body that rejects people thousands of miles away, "I thought about finding you a better doctor...... But after thinking about it carefully, let's find the most reliable one. ”
Ling Shucheng's hand under the sheet clenched into a fist and let go, and replied in a forced tone: "Yes." I feel much better now. ”
"Well, you're recovering pretty quickly."
As soon as the woman took a few steps closer, the boy immediately stood up and graciously invited her to take a seat.
"No, I just finished the meeting and sat there all morning." Bai Ji's expression was still faint, neither happy nor disdainful, "You all go and rest." I have something to say to him alone. ”
Unrelated personnel immediately exited the room in amusement. Ling Shucheng on the hospital bed became more and more cramped. He roughly recalled what he had done during this time, and had already begun to think about how to explain it one by one later.
"Do you think you need a few more days to recover?" Unexpectedly, Bai Ji chose a completely unexpected opening line.
Ling Shucheng was stunned for a moment, and cautiously determined a relatively compromise number: "It will probably take about three days, if there is no big accident......
"Good." The woman nodded, "It's a mess out there, I'll be out of here soon." You're also in your twenties, so pay more attention to yourself. ”
Knowing that this was probably the limit for the other party to express concern, Ling Shucheng coughed uncomfortably and nodded.
"Of course, if you're in good shape, there's another option now." Bai Ji took out a notebook from his pocket, and seemed to return to a businesslike attitude, "Take a look." ”
The tip of the pen shook with a loud sneeze, and in case of reluctance he tore off an entire page, turned to the man on the sofa and said, "You almost broke the pen in such a scare that I was scared." ”
"Then you have to blame yourself, what age do you still write pens." Yuan Sui sniffed, put his head in his hands and lay down again, "I'm brewing to catch up on sleep, don't talk to me, write your homework." ”
"How can there be a teacher like you who only assigns homework and doesn't correct it." In case he turned the scroll in his hand over, "If you are too busy, I will go find someone else." ”
"If I don't care about you, who else can you turn to? Boss Tong is only busier than me now. Yuan Sui took off the cushion that covered his face to block the light, "Okay, okay, show it to me now." If you get a few questions wrong, you'll just wait to eat a few steamed buns and pickles. ”
"You are abusing a teenager who is developing, and eating poorly will not only affect my IQ, but also make me not grow tall." In case of a sentence, he suddenly asked, "When you are so nervous, you can't catch a cold, right?" ”
"No, except for sleepiness, I feel like I'm fine. I guess someone is saying bad things about me behind my back. Yuan Sui turned over and sat up, rubbed his eyes with obvious dark circles, shook his head in place for a while before finally standing up, slapped the back of Wanyi's head, and asked scoldingly, "Why do I think you've been getting more and more skinny lately?" What, don't pretend to be little adults? Or are you not afraid of me at all? ”
"What are you afraid of. You won't even kill a fish. "Also, you don't have much of a good idea, don't you?" Can you not always speak in a tone that is older than me? ”
"Didn't I tell you that I have a brother at home who is about your age. It's good if you don't have the habit of hitting your hands. ”
"You're already hitting me now." In case he pointed to the hand that Yuan Sui still had behind his head.
"Oh, is that so? Excuse me. Yuan Sui picked up his scroll in the light of the lamp, and nodded with satisfaction after a while, "It's okay, you have more learning talent than my brother." ”
In case he lowered his head quickly, he probably wanted to hide the uncontrollable smirk on his face after receiving the praise.
"I can see that you are indeed interested, but you don't need to be in a hurry, you are still a little younger after all. Even if more than ten years of life have been magnificent, compared with those who have really seen the world, it is just like that. Yuan Sui skillfully snatched the pen in his hand and made a few circles on the paper, "These few, take a closer look." Recall how you were wrong. ”
"Teacher Yuan, can you guarantee that the answer you know is 100% correct?" In case she still doesn't accept her, "I've checked it several times." ”
"If you don't believe me, you can change the teacher?" Yuan Sui raised his eyebrows, "I wish I could be a little easier." ”
"It's because I don't have a good learning attitude." In case you immediately admit it, "Teacher Yuan, don't give up on me, I really want to learn something useful." ”
"I know." Yuan Sui shoved the pen back into his hand, "But don't put too much burden on yourself." There are some things you can never do alone. ”
The mind was guessed. In case I took the roll, I pretended to read it very seriously.
"You do it slowly, I'll go first." The first year old is not too dismantled.
"Going to a meeting again?"
"Yes. The people from out of town are gradually arriving, and we still have a lot of things to discuss. Yuan Sui picked up the thin cardigan on the sofa and draped it over his shoulders, suddenly turned around before going out, and asked with a smile, "What, are you starting to worry about your own height?" It's stressful to fall in love with a white girl with a genetic advantage. ”
"What do you say?" In case, his face burned instantly.
"It's okay, I'm very open-minded about early love." Yuan Sui closed the door with his foot.
