Zhong Xian didn't even know the girl's name. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Every time I mention it, I use 'Xiaozhu's girlfriend' instead of my name. He was never interested in knowing the origins of this rural girl.
He can still remember the appearance of the electronics factory where 'Xiao Zhu's girlfriend' is located. The factory is located in the far suburbs, and it really can't be a remote suburb. From Shuanglong, the last subway station in Longgang District, it takes about half an hour to drive.
When he and Deng Yi set off, Zhong Xian didn't have to calculate and knew that they wouldn't be able to catch up with the factory for more than two hours. I don't know what will happen to the girl by then. This time coincides with the rush hour for getting off work again. All the way down, there is basically a traffic jam everywhere. It doesn't matter what path he chooses with navigation. There is also no smooth route.
Along the way, neither of them followed this. I didn't talk about giving up to help this girl. Maybe it would be easier to call the police. But they all wanted to see it for themselves.
Deng Yi needless to say, but Zhong Xian also felt that he was responsible. That poor girl, in this huge city, has no friends at all, except for Xiao Zhu. Instead, the two of them became the only ones who had a relationship with her. Of course, this girl may still have some netizens. But presumably, after knowing her current experience and situation, she would have disappeared into the illusory digital world a long time ago.
Zhong Xian remembers the last time he went to the girl's factory. The name of the factory seems to be CI Optoelectronics. Probably doing LED lights or something. Located in the so-called Emerging Technology Park. When he thought of the environment around the factory, only one word popped up in Zhong Xian's mind - the grass grows and the warbler flies.
Most of the people who work as workers or factory girls must come from remote rural areas. There is no higher education. They gather from the countryside to the surrounding cities, but most of them can only find a place in the surrounding factories. Look at the bustle of the city center. But perhaps, because there is no more education, they may not know what to expect.
The high cost of living in first-tier cities is enough to weigh them down.
When the bell string's mind turned back. The car has already driven through most of Longgang District.
Deng Yi received another call at this time.
"Xiao Huang and the child have been sent to Longgang People's Hospital. Her colleague called 120. ”
Zhong Xin immediately re-navigated and turned to Longgang People's Hospital. Only then did he know that the girl's surname was Huang.
When they arrived at the hospital, they met the girl's colleague in the emergency area. The girl was admitted to the hospital room and the newborn is in critical condition and is being resuscitated.
When he learned that Deng Yi and Zhong Xian had nothing to do with the girl. The girl's boss, the workshop supervisor who had called 120, looked disappointed.
"The factory paid some medical bills in advance, and thought that they could find her friends to help her. After all, there is only so much that can be done in the factory. "The workshop supervisor who spoke was a short man in his thirties. He confessed that he was flipping from the girl's mobile phone to Deng Yi's number. The girl didn't have a few numbers on her phone. Most of them couldn't get through, he only got through Deng Yi's.
Huang Jie always said that she had a husband, but her husband's number was already empty. Alas. ”
"You didn't know she was pregnant?" Deng Yi was puzzled, this was probably beyond his knowledge. How can a pregnant woman not be noticed by the people around her?
"I don't know at all. She didn't pay attention to it, and she couldn't usually see it. Is. In the middle of the night, I ran into the aisle to secretly give birth to my own child. She didn't arrive at work during the day today, and after work, her dormitory workers found that she was in the aisle, unable to stand up after too much blood loss. I'm afraid it's ...... later."
"How's the kid?"
"It's not a color, it's like a dead mouse with hair off, pitiful. I don't know if I can live. ”

The girl's condition was not too bad, and the doctor gave her a number of postpartum tests, and she was quickly taken to a bed in the maternity department to rest.
Because the beds in the general ward were full, she was placed in a makeshift bed in the hallway.
Although the doctor said she was fine. But the girl didn't look good, and kept her head down and kept silent. The expression was in a trance. I saw Deng Yi and Zhong Xian appear. also pretended not to be seen. He doesn't talk to his co-workers even more.
Even when she heard that the baby was not doing well, she did not react.
Seeing the girl's state, Zhong Xian felt that he and Deng Yi couldn't help much, and it was impossible to ask anything at this time.
Before leaving, Zhong Xian took out his wallet, took out more than a thousand yuan in cash and stuffed it to the girl. The girl reacted a little, looked up at Zhong Xian blankly, and lowered her head again.
On the way back.
Zhong Xian made a bold guess.
"To be honest, I always thought that Xiao Zhu was dead. But now, I don't think so. ”
Deng Yi was silent. It was as if he already knew what Zhong Xian was thinking. After a while, he said: "Xiao Zhu probably didn't want to be responsible because he had enlarged other people's stomachs." That's what you're trying to say. ”
Zhong Xian nodded.
"Newborn babies probably won't survive. I just asked the doctor. Deng Yi said.
They didn't speak again. It looks a little heavy.
"Can I tell Dake?" After a while, Zhong Xian asked. "If you don't object. After all, Dake knows Xiao Zhu better. ”
"There's nothing you can't do. It is impossible to hide this matter. We're not the parties, and I'm not a police officer now. ”
Zhong Xian turned on the car phone and dialed Dake's number. There was a sound, and he hung up again. As if I remembered something. He chose to send a WeChat message to Dake - Xiao Zhu's girlfriend gave birth to a son today.
A few minutes later, Dake called.
"What's that thing you sent?"
"Of course I have good news to tell you."
"Good news? Whose good news? Yours?"
"Fart."
"Xiao Zhu's girlfriend gave birth to a son today? Really fake. You mean this is Xiao Zhu's...... Kid?"
"The child is there anyway, that little girl became a mother before she was twenty years old, do you think Xiao Zhu will run away because this girl is pregnant, and the world will evaporate. Do you think he's that kind of person?"
"He's that kind of person." After a two-second pause, Dake replied categorically.
"With his conditions, it is not easy to find a woman. If he still has an IQ, and when he meets such a stupid girl, he still plays missing? He should burn incense and offer the girl up. ”
"He's always been an idiot. How can you use ordinary people's thinking to ponder him? That girl, was she born today?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
"Are you sure the child is really Xiao Zhu's?"
"Well, is there anything suspicious about this?"
"How can a girl who is stupid like this know that she has not been deceived by others?"
Dake's words are really enlightening. Obviously, neither Deng Yi nor Zhong Xian thought about this possibility.
Zhong Xian hung up the phone and glanced at Deng Yi.
Deng Yi muttered, "I saw that you stuffed money into that girl." You're a great good man. ”
"It's only 1,000 yuan, and I only have this cash on me."
"Do you think 1,000 yuan is too little?" Deng Yi said with a smile. "Anyone who has never known anything in your life, you are like this. What a glorious soul. ”
"You're sarcastic about me."
"Heartfelt compliments. Let's be honest, though. I didn't expect you to be willing to help her. ”
"It's a good deal to pay a little money to get such praise from you."
"Don't think about it. I'm not complimenting, I'm actually thinking that maybe you're burning too much money. ”
"The same goes for you. When you asked me to wait in the hallway, you went to the doctor to find her a ward. If it weren't for the hospital, even the senior wards were really full. I guess you'll help her pay for thousands of VIP ward hospitalizations every day. Zhong Xian said with a smile.
"You know?" Deng Yi's eyes rolled. "I was ...... You weren't with me at the time. ”
"I just guessed. You guessed it. Zhong Xian said with a smile. I thought you'd do it. We're getting to know each other better. ”
After this toss, it was close to midnight when they returned to Luohu District from Longgang Hospital.
Following the navigation, the car drove through Hongling Road. When passing by Lychee Park, Deng Yi was about to say something. Zhong Xian preemptively said first. "I didn't finish the dinner just now. But I paid the bill. Now you have a late-night snack. ”
Deng Yi smiled and nodded.
They didn't eat out. Instead, Deng Yi proposed to order a pizza to go upstairs to eat, and he could also drink Zhong Xian's wine.
They sat and ate in the kitchen of the bellstring.
"Why does it feel cold in your kitchen, is it that the air conditioner is turned on?" Deng Yi said. He looked around for a moment and smiled. "It's so deserted. No. It's not arranged at all. ”
Zhong Xin turned off the air conditioner with a remote control. I opened a bottle of red wine.
"Lately, I've been hearing people talk about my style. Say that my home and office are untouched, with no decorations. Why am I surrounded by some laypeople, even you? Haven't you ever thought that there is no style, no pursuit of style, this is actually a style. ”
"Aren't you against your will? If you're really looking for style, that's the same to say. You're just for the simplest. It's just that you're not in the mood to pursue that. ”
Zhong Xian put a glass of wine in front of Deng Yi. "Drink. After drinking, continue to say what you didn't finish today. ”
Deng Yi picked up the cup, hesitated for a moment, and took the initiative to touch Zhong Xian's cup. "It doesn't matter if you think so or not. I feel like we've got off to a good start. ”
"What a good start."
"Choose to be honest with each other."
"Are you honest?" Zhong Xian said, deliberately making it look like he was going to take off his clothes.
Deng Yi glanced at him. "Yes. OK. You're not bad looking. It's much better than before. This may be who you are. ”
"I've got a lot of cheap places. You slowly see. Zhong Xian said after taking a sip of wine. Is that a possibility? If the child is not Xiao Zhu's. ”
"Whose else could it be?"
"Other netizens. Or some mysterious figure. The girl didn't say anything. ”
Deng Yi was speechless. After a moment he muttered. "Seeing this kind of thing. It's always hard for me to believe. How can it still happen in this era. Are you so stupid?"
"Children born in backward rural areas probably only know that this is a shameful thing, and they only know that they must not let anyone know. Not to mention the countryside. Physiology classes for middle school students now don't teach them anything. They learn this knowledge from the Internet, and they seem to know everything, but in fact, they don't know anything. ”
"But the point is not how stupid this girl is." Zhong Xian said again.
"What's the key?"
"It's that I didn't expect that someone like Xiao Zhu would be so harmful. He was so insignificant that any colleague could play tricks on him when he was in the company. He is so unworthy that he is not enough to cause harm to others or society. But it turned out that there were people who were weaker than him, and they were damaged by him. ”
"My father used to say," Deng Yi said, "that life is fair." ”
Zhong Xian glanced at Deng Yi suspiciously. "Ling Zun said that life is fair, and he must have a smooth life."
"What he said is fair, that he doesn't pity the low. He said that those people have their own hate, and life treats them like this. Let them be more and more humble. ”
Zhong Xian looked at Deng Yi with a little surprise, not quite believing that he said this.
"Virtuous and talented, life will not treat you badly. That's his point. Deng Yi said.
"That's what you actually think."
"I don't think anything is absolute. No one knows if there are guidelines for life. My basic rule is that at least you can have a clear conscience. ”
Zhong Xian stared at Deng Yi. Then he took a sip alone.
"Your father was a businessman, you seem to have said that."
"I didn't say that." Deng Yi said. "But he's a businessman."
"Then your family should be good. You've at least said you've not been forced by life. ”
"I'm not short of money." Unexpectedly, Deng Yi would admit it directly. "My father was a successful businessman. Since I was born. ”
"Then what are you missing? You've got to have something to do to keep chatting with me. Zhong Xian said, staring at the wine glass. After waiting for a while, Deng Yi didn't answer. He looked up and saw Deng Yi drinking alone.
"You won't be a rich second generation, will you?" Zhong Xian laughed.
Deng Yi glanced at Zhong Xian. Shook his head.
Zhong Xian continued: "There is no shortage of money, this is what you said. Then you are lacking love. ”
"I lack you."
Zhong Xian laughed, he couldn't imagine that Deng Yi could also tell such a joke. Deng Yi continued with a rather serious expression. "What you have, I don't."
"What do I have?" The bell strings are a little confused. He didn't feel like he had anything.
"You have the bravery, but I don't. You are not tethered. I don't care about etiquette. Dare to do anything, whether it is against morality or not, as long as it is your goal......"
"Understood." Zhong Xian interrupted him, "You say that I am not a thing, I lack virtue, and I can do anything bad." You're a good guy and I'm a bad guy. You really understand what you say. ”
"That's not what I meant." Deng Yi continued to drink.
"I lack virtue, you don't. So it means that you lack me. Zhong Xian summed it up. He picked up the cup and was about to take a sip, Deng Yi laughed and touched his cup to Zhong Xian's cup.
"Even if you are tortured, you will stick to your goal." Deng Yi said. "You're such a person. So you will succeed. Unless you fall, but you don't retreat. ”
"Am I successful?" Zhong Xian asked suspiciously, not exactly asking Deng Yi. "What do I have?" He put the cup down.
"When I say success, I don't mean what you have now. It's your quality. Deng Yi said.
"Quality?" Zhong Xian felt inexplicable. He felt that Deng Yi's praise for him was pure sarcasm. "I don't dare to be completely relaxed with anyone, even if I face you now, even if I feel ...... I want to go one step further with you, but I don't dare, relax. ”
Deng Yi stared at the bell string for two seconds and drank the wine in the cup. Then he plucked up courage and said, "You can trust me." ”
Zhong Xian just shook his head.
"You can do anything. You can relax. Even if you say you've killed someone. I won't betray you either. ”
