Chapter 364: Unexpected
Qin Yan got out of the car and walked directly to the two buildings, Wen Wen stayed in the car because he was a little tired from shopping before. But Lin Jingjing didn't dare to get out of the car because she was too scared, Xiaoyi looked at the two of them innocently, and jumped out of the car to Qin Yan's side with a "whoosh". She has had a strong curiosity about a peach tree here since she was a child, but because her father watched it closely, she never stepped into it once.
Unexpectedly, after only three years of leaving, not only was the black wall around it demolished, the peach trees were cut down, and two residential buildings were built on the ground, but it was just ........ Why do these two buildings look so old?
Qin Yan and Xiaoyi walked around the two buildings, and soon found three obvious problems, first, these two buildings did not look like new buildings that had just been built from any direction; Second, in addition to the front, the back and both sides of the wall are covered with green creepers, densely piled up the entire wall, and the two weird building numbers that Lin Jingjing said are hidden under the creepers, and the scarlet numbers are weirdly dazzling against the green background of the wall. But after such a long distance, how did Lin Jingjing see it? Third, these two residential buildings are so quiet that they are not even popular at all.
"Huh? The lights are on there. ”
Qin Yan was staring at the two buildings and thinking deeply, when Xiao Yi next to him suddenly shouted. He looked up, and sure enough, the third-floor window in the middle of Building 18 on the right was indeed lit up. At the same time, the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of a white shadow flashing on the left, Qin Yan turned around and wanted to chase it, but it was accompanied by a scream in the car.
"Ah..........h
Xiao Yi was so frightened that she almost didn't jump up, and ran behind Qin Yan to the car parked on the side of the road.
"What's wrong?" Qin Yan leaned on the window of the car, looking at Lin Jingjing, who was shivering in the back seat in her warm arms.
Warmly hugged Lin Jingjing, looked at Qin Yan with a worried face, and said, "Jingjing seems to have seen something just now, have you found anything abnormal?" ”
Qin Yan remembered the white figure that flashed just now, and guessed that Lin Jingjing should have been scared like this when she saw that, but how did that thing hide so secretly here? Even if he was near him, he wouldn't be noticed.
Qin Yan looked back at the unique brightly lit window in Building 18 and said to Xiao Yi, "You go and see who is inside?" ”
He can't use mana casually now, but he can't just leave Lin Jingjing alone at this moment, so he can only stay by the car and send Xiaoyi over to investigate the situation. And the main thing is that there is no danger in that window with the lights on.
In less than ten minutes, Xiaoyi hurried back.
"Uncle Qin, Uncle Qin, there is a mother and son living there, and the child can see me. You talked to me. ”
Qin Yan withdrew his gaze from the top floor of Building 44, looked at Xiao Yi and asked, "What did he tell you?" ”
"He said, 'Where did you come from?' Get lost! 'It's a bit fierce. Xiao Yi stuck out her tongue after speaking, not feeling angry at all because of the little boy's impoliteness.
Qin Yan rubbed her head with a smile and said, "Let's go, let's go to your house first." “
The question here obviously has a lot to do with Lin Jingjing, but at present, with her condition, it is not suitable to go out to find an answer, on the other hand, Lin Jingjing's question seems to be clearer to her grandfather, if possible, Qin Yan would like to talk to her grandfather first.
So now there is no need to stay to investigate, not to mention that the purpose of coming out this time is Xiaoyi, of course, she has to solve her problem.
It took less than half an hour to set off from those two strange residential buildings, and I arrived at Xiaoyijia.
"Look, the building on the far side, the fourth floor of the second unit....... Hey? What about the lights on......." Xiaoyi poked his head out of the car window, and pointed to Qin Yan and the three of them as he spoke, and when he saw the familiar window showing the light of the fluorescent lamp, his eyes were full of hope and excitement, "It's my mother, it must be my mother's ......"
Qin Yan parked the car downstairs, the residential buildings here are self-contained, and there is not even a fence around them, which is very different from the community in the city.
Lin Jingjing was still lying in her warm arms, although her body was obviously not as shaky as before, her mood was still very low.
"You two are waiting in the car, and I'll go up with Xiaoyi. If something happens, yell and I'll come down right away. Qin Yan casually glanced at the surrounding environment, although he knew that there would be nothing dangerous here, but he still said so, maybe this would make this frightened girl more at ease.
Qin Yan followed Xiaoyi upstairs and tried to keep his steps as light as possible.
"Uncle Qin, it's here, 401." Xiaoyi was a little nervous, she could have passed through the door and rushed directly to the home where she had lived for ten years, but she didn't do it. just followed Qin Yan step by step, knocking on the door in a regular manner and waiting for someone to open it.
However, I knocked on the door three times but did not wait for the people in the house to open it. Qin Yan was sure that there was someone in the house, but he didn't know why the door was closed. Just as he raised his hand to knock a fourth time, the neighbor on the opposite side opened the door.
"You're looking for a fire?" A middle-aged man with a beard and a disfigured pajamas walked out from across the side and pulled on his slippers.
Qin Yan was stunned, thinking, what he said about "fire" is a person's name?
Xiaoyi was also stunned, she muttered to herself, "Aunt Liu's family has always lived opposite my house, who is he?" “
"I'm telling you, he can't hear you knocking like this, you have to knock like this." As he spoke, the middle-aged bearded man stepped forward, and Qin Yan hurriedly pulled Xiao Yi to the side, watching him clam the fist of his right hand "bang bang bang" playfully.
It was rude and noisy to knock on the door, but it was effective. After a while, I heard movement inside the door, and then the door was opened with a bang.
"What?"
Xiao Yi's eyes widened, and she looked at the strange man in front of her who was twenty-seven or eight years old, wearing studs and a nondescript outfit.
The stud man didn't notice Qin Yan at first, he stared at the bearded man with impatience on his face, "Lao Wang, you're full, why are you knocking on my door?" I wonder if now is the time for me to find inspiration? “
The bearded man pursed his lips very disdainfully, "You've been looking for inspiration for more than two fucking years, and I haven't seen you pop out of a useful fart, and you changed your name to Fire, when will you be on fire?" “
Without waiting for the stud man to get angry, the beard took a step back, and pointed at Qin Yan who was standing next to him with his thumb, "Your house is a visitor, hey, here." People knocked on the door three times and you didn't open it, I really couldn't stand it anymore and came to help. No thanks! “
The stud man opened his mouth to scold and swallowed it back, he turned his head and looked Qin Yan up and down several times, and asked curiously, "Dude, are you looking for me?" “
Qin Yan smiled faintly and asked politely, "Isn't this Zhang Wei's family?" "Zhang Wei is Xiaoyi's father's name, and he told Qin Yan when he came.
The beard who had already turned around to go back to his house immediately stopped when he heard the name, turned around and looked at Qin Yan strangely with the stud man.
"Zhang Wei you said was the original owner of this house, but I bought it two years ago. As for the family....... "Speaking of this, the stud man turned his head a little awkwardly to look at his beard.
"What's your relationship with their family?" The beard seemed to know what the stud man meant, so he leaned over and asked Qin Yan.
"We ...... It's a classmate, but I haven't been in touch for many years, I've been out of town, and this time I came back and thought of him, so I came over to take a look. Qin Yan found a more talkable past, and a proper reason.
"Oh, no wonder you don't know." The two of them gave a look of understanding, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't know what?" Qin Yan deliberately pretended to be curious and asked.
The bearded man looked at the stud man, and said in a low voice, "This family is all dead, it's quite miserable." “
"Huh?" Qin Yan's eyes widened.
"The man, named Zhang Wei, died in an accident on the construction site five years ago, and the woman and their children, one died on the train three years ago, and the other committed suicide by jumping into the river. Gee...... It's so pathetic. But it was precisely because their family was dead that this house was sold to this guy cheaply by Zhang Wei's younger brother. No one dares to buy it, but he dares. “
The stud man glared at his beard, "Didn't you also pick up a cheap one, their family also saw that the family was dead, so they were too scared to live anymore, so they sold it cheaply and moved away." “
"Can we both be the same? No one has ever died in my house, but your house has died. “
Qin Yan stopped the two who were arguing and asked, "You just said that Zhang Wei died five years ago?" Not three years ago? “
"It must have been five years ago, and there was still a death certificate at the construction site." The two said categorically in unison.
Qin Yan was really surprised this time, Xiaoyi clearly said that her father died three years ago, and before he died, he worked two jobs in order to treat her. Could it be ......
Qin Yan glanced at Xiao Yi next to her, and saw that her face was pale and her lips trembled, and he understood that she must have been frightened by this disappearance. When even if you want to take her out of here for a while.
"Hey, why did you just say that Zhang Wei died three years ago?"
Qin Yan had already walked to the top of the stairs, and he heard the stud man behind him as if he asked casually.
Qin Yan turned around, seemed to be quite cautious and hesitated for a moment before he spoke, "Because, three years ago, I received a call from Zhang Wei, who asked me to borrow money and wanted to operate on my daughter. “
After speaking, Qin Yan glanced at the two of them meaningfully, turned around and went downstairs.
The voice-activated lights in the corridor turned on and off with Qin Yan's departure, and at this moment a gust of wind blew, and the man with the earrings shivered together, and the two stared at each other in the dark for more than ten seconds before they jumped up suddenly, turned around and went home, and closed the door with a "bang......
