Li Bing and Zhao Wan'er drove overnight and hurried back to Shanghai to find out Xiao Wenjun's whereabouts.

After a long drive, the two of them felt tired when they arrived in Shanghai, and they rested for most of the day before they came back to their senses.

At this time, Li Bing realized that he had made a big mistake. He is too impulsive, with just one name, how can he find Xiao Wenjun in the vast sea of people in Shanghai?

Zhao Wan'er comforted the frustrated Li Bing and said: "Li Bing, don't be discouraged, why don't we go back to my house first, let the people in the company go to the relationship, and check the household registration, okay?" ”

Li Bing sighed: "It's all about this, but unfortunately, I'm afraid there is no hope." With a name like this, maybe we can find hundreds of them in Shanghai, how can we find the Xiao Wenjun we are looking for in just a few days? ”

The two suddenly felt that there was nothing to be done for a while, so they had to start the car silently and go to Zhao Wan'er's house in the suburbs.

Soon after driving out of Shanghai, I saw many farmhouses and restaurants on the side of the road. Zhao Wan'er said: "Li Bing, let's eat here and then go home!" ”

Li Bing nodded, slapped the steering wheel, and drove towards a row of farmhouse restaurants on the side of the road.

An inconspicuous signboard attracts them: Xiangyang Village Farmhouse!

Zhao Wan'er said "Huh": "Li Bing, look, we just came back from Xiangyang Village, but I didn't expect that there is also a Xiangyang Village here!" ”

Li Bing smiled slightly and said: "Farmhouse, a local name like this can attract customers even more!" Wan'er, why don't we go to that Xiangyang Village for dinner? ”

Zhao Wan'er said happily: "Okay, then let's stop and see what is delicious." ”

As soon as the two parked the car, people came out of several farmhouses, surrounding the two to recommend their signature dishes.

Li Bingyi pointed to the Yangcun farmhouse and said: "We are regular customers of this family, and we don't go to eat anything else." ”

Several people left boringly, and the person who came out of the farmhouse in Xiangyang Village, although his face was full of suspicion, he still smiled and said enthusiastically: "Two of you, please inside!" ”

Zhao Wan'er and Li Bing followed the man into the hotel, only to see that although the decoration in the hall was simple, it also looked clean. The two were in a good mood, looked at the menu, and ordered four or five dishes in a row.

After the two ordered, they relaxed and drank the green tea brewed by the store, looked at the scenery outside the window, and began to chat.

Zhao Wan'er, who was sitting in front of the store, suddenly let out a soft 'huh', and her eyes opened wide, as if she had found something.

Li Bing asked softly, "Wan'er, what's wrong with you?" ”

Zhao Wan'er pointed to the huge mural hanging in the store, Li Bing turned around to look at it, and said suspiciously: "Wan'er, isn't it just a painting?" What's so special? ”

Zhao Wan'er said excitedly: "Li Bing, take a closer look, that painting doesn't look like the Xiangyang Village in Shaanxi that we just came back?" ”

Li Bing's body shook when he heard this, and he quickly turned around again and stared at the painting for a long time. Sure enough, the hills and scattered mountain villages in this painting are almost exactly the same as Xiangyang Village.

Li Bing suppressed the excitement in his heart, walked to the bar, and asked a young woman inside, "Excuse me, are you the proprietress here?" ”

The young woman paused, then laughed, and said heartily, "You can say the same! May I ask this gentleman, what is the matter with you? Despite the commands! ”

At this moment, Li Bing saw that a waiter had already delivered the first dish they ordered. He smiled and said, "Lady, it's not time to eat yet, but we're here a little early." You see, there are no other customers in the store anyway, and the two of us have something to inquire about, can we invite the proprietress to have a meal with us? ”

The young woman hesitated for a moment, then immediately smiled and said, "Okay, then, I'll thank you two first!" ”

Li Bing hurriedly invited the young woman to sit down, poured her a cup of tea, picked up another cup himself, and said with a smile: "Boss, I'm sorry, I can't drink because I'm driving." So, I'll replace the wine with tea and toast you! ”

The young woman hurriedly returned the salute, and after drinking it all, she smiled and said, "Thank you, both." Excuse me, what do you want to ask me? ”

Li Bing pointed to the painting and said, "Boss, I am very interested in this painting, and I want to know who painted it?" Can you tell me? ”

The young woman said, "This painting was made by our boss and has been hanging here for many years. What's the matter, is there anything special about this painting? ”

Li Bing's eyes rolled and said with a smile: "That's the case, the two of us entered your store because we took a fancy to the signboard of your store." To tell you the truth, the two of us are not authentic Shanghainese, but from Qianxian County, Shaanxi Province. In the past, our village was called Xiangyang Village, and when I saw this painting just now, the mountains, the rivers and the houses were just the same as those in our village, so I was curious. ”

The young woman was amazed, "Such a coincidence? You two are actually from Xiangyang Village, Shaanxi? ”

Zhao Wan'er also said softly, and the young woman looked around for a moment, and then said mysteriously: "If you two come three or four days early, you can see our boss." If he knew that you were from Xiangyang Village, he would definitely not charge you money for dinner. ”

Zhao Wan'er said in surprise: "Why? Could it be that your boss is also from Xiangyang Village? ”

The young woman said, "No, our boss is a native of Shanghai, but he has a special complex for Xiangyang Village. Every summer at this time, he would take a few days to go back to Xiangyang Village. ”

Li Bing's heart moved, and he cautiously probed: "Boss lady, may I ask, is your boss's surname Xiao?" ”

The woman said in amazement, "Yes, you know him?" ”

Li Bing hurriedly said: "I don't know, but we are people from Xiangyang Village, and we are inquiring about the whereabouts of a person named Xiao Wenjun." When I saw this painting, I learned that he was from Shanghai, so I tried to ask if it was him. ”

The young woman was even more surprised: "Yes, such a coincidence, our boss's name is Xiao Wenjun." What are you looking for him? It's just that he has been going to Shaanxi for three or four days. He has a habit of not turning on his mobile phone every few days, and I'm afraid I can't contact him. ”

Li Bing and Zhao Wan'er looked at each other for a moment and said softly: "The two of us are reporters, and we want to collect some of the collected styles of educated youths who went to the mountains and the countryside back then. After many inquiries, I learned that there was a female educated youth from Shanghai in our village back then. It's a pity that she is dead, so we want to come to Shanghai to beat her boyfriend Xiao Wenjun to learn about the situation back then. ”

When the young woman heard this, she looked at the two of them in astonishment. After a while, he slowly said: "I won't tell you anything, our boss went to Xiangyang Village to pay tribute to her girlfriend back then." He told us these things, so we knew these things. By the way, I forgot to tell you. There are five people in our shop, all of whom were adopted and raised by the owner from an orphanage. So, he's both our boss and our father. ”
