I was dumbfounded.

How is this possible?

Hong Xiaoyun is seven or eight years younger than me, she was born a fool who can't speak, she has never been to school, she has hardly been out of the Hong family's house, and she has never communicated with her.

If something happened to the Hong family that day, I wouldn't have known her name Hong Xiaoyun at all. Even his family, I mistakenly thought they were surnamed Chen.

There is no intersection at all!!

Why do I call her name at night?

I was flustered in my heart, I definitely couldn't be like Miao Miao's joke, I was so-called in love with Hong Xiaoyun, because there was no way to talk about it.

I believe Miao Miao's name at night, because it's a morning thought, but I can't explain it when I call Hong Xiaoyun.

Something must have gone wrong!!

How could I dream of calling a strange girl's name at night? A girl who doesn't intersect at all, who doesn't feel anything?

My mind was in a mess for a while, and many thoughts flashed through my mind.

For a long time, I vaguely felt that there seemed to be an invisible line connecting me and the Hong family, and the events in Hong Village and the Gao family were all concentric circles drawn with me and the Hong family as the center.

And now, this line is so clear in front of my eyes that I was caught off guard!

Is there really any connection between me and the Hong family that I don't know?

Miao Miao also saw my doubts and panic, and she lost the mood to laugh, so she comforted me and said, "Ah Chun, don't worry, some things will always come to light slowly." ”

I stroked my head and couldn't help but feel a headache, the matter of Hongcun made me feel more and more confused, I always felt that this was a huge game, and there were several groups of people.

Some people want my life, but some people are protecting me, although I don't know whether those so-called people are human beings or ghosts.

What makes me even more puzzling is, what do I have to do with Hongcun? Why was I swept up in and the center of another vortex outside of the Ho Hong family?

I'm just an ordinary person, no more power, no more power, no status.

What are they, or rather, trying to get out of me?

There was a lot of fog, all speculation was just speculation, and no person, one thing, I could be sure and sure of. If I had to name one, it would be the person sitting next to me at this moment, Miao Miao, whom I met in college days, three years before the beginning of a series of strange events in Hongcun, she was an outsider.

"Ah Chun, are you okay?" Miao Miao said with concern.

I shook my head and said, "It's fine." ”

"Let's go see Hong Xiaoyun." Miao Miao pondered for a moment and said to me.

"Really going to see her?" I was skeptical, but after a moment's thought, I nodded and said, "Okay, go!" ”

I have to figure out why I chant Hong Xiaoyun's name at night for no reason, and I am sure and sure that I have never dreamed of her when I dreamed.

"Okay, let's go."

Miao Miao nodded, stepped on the accelerator, and the beetle suddenly rushed out, and the speed was very fast.

I was taken aback and exclaimed, "Grandma, you can't drive slowly." ”

"Soon?" Miao Miao said disappreciatively.

I glanced at her dashboard and saw that the car had reached 80 yards, so I said, "This is not a highway, this is a dirt road in the countryside, uneven, aren't you afraid of grinding the chassis?" ”

"Don't worry, my car has never been scratched." Miao Miao disagreed.

I was speechless, when I came before, I drove a tricycle to lead the way in front, pressing her speed, but now that there is no one in front, her "female man" side is exposed.

The dirt road in the countryside was okay, she was a little more restrained, and when it came to the cement road to the county, I was almost scared to death, and this violent woman actually drove the car to one hundred and fourteen.

I grabbed the armrest and thumped, exclaiming, "Can you not drive violently?" ”

"What are you afraid of without a traffic light?" Miao Miao glanced at me with disdain, not in the slightest intention of slowing down.

Thousands of alpacas rushed by in my heart, and said, "If you buy a Ferrari but a Beetle, can't you carry forward its gentle and lovely style?" ”

"I don't drive a classic car." Miao Miao scoffed at my words.

I didn't dare to talk to her, for fear of distracting her attention, this county and township road is not comparable to the highway at all, and such a high speed will be finished if something happens.

I don't want to be a man who hangs up because of a woman's violent driving, that's too embarrassing.

At the same time, I finally understood why she could drive from Chongqing to Qinglong Town so quickly when she came.

Soon we arrived at Fengdu County, I had never been to the county welfare institute before, so I used my mobile phone to navigate, and after finding the location, I rushed over with Miao Miao.

The welfare institute is on the south side of the river, across the river from the ghost city of Fengdu.

It is a special mention here that Fengdu is also known as Xudu, also known as Ghost Capital, and the name sounds very evil, and there are many theories about the origin of its name in history.

After getting out of the car, Miao Miao and I bought some fruits and other gifts nearby, and went to a middle-aged woman on duty to explain the reason, but she said that we were not relatives, and the person being visited was delirious and said that it was difficult.

I'm speechless, what is difficult, okay is good, no is no way. However, Miao Miao has a lot of money, and after the visit, there will be a "charity" donation.

The middle-aged woman's attitude immediately changed drastically, and politely introduced us to the welfare home.

There are three floors in the welfare home, Hong Xiaoyun's room is on the second floor, the floor is just right, not damp or hot, and to my surprise, she lives in a small single room.

You know, the conditions in the welfare home are often very poor, the children are crowded together, food and clothing are sometimes a problem, for them the small single room is the level of a luxury hotel.

"Hong Xiaoyun, someone has come to see you." The middle-aged woman knocked on the door and said to Hong Xiaoyun.

At this moment, the door of Hong Xiaoyun's small single room was open, and she was sitting at a table in front of the window, stacking a thousand paper cranes seriously, at first glance it was a slim girl, and there seemed to be nothing wrong.

But when the middle-aged woman knocked on the door, she didn't raise her head to look at us, and was completely immersed in her own world.

There are thousands of paper cranes hanging everywhere in the room, all of which are of various colors, all of which are hung in strings with thin cotton ropes, densely packed, and almost the entire small room is occupied.

I can't help but think back to the day when Hai Meirong committed suicide, Hong Xiaoyun is just like now, sitting in the spirit shed and silent in her own world, her mother and newborn brother died, her father was crazy, she didn't react at all, she didn't cry or make trouble, her face was expressionless like a puppet, as if what happened outside had nothing to do with her from beginning to end.

And now, she's still the same as ever.

The middle-aged woman stretched out her hands to us and said helplessly: "This child is like this, he is seriously autistic, he folds thousands of paper cranes by himself when he has nothing to do, he is quiet, and he never talks to others." ”

I approached and shouted at her.

But she didn't react, I said a few more words to her, and the result was the same.

Miao Miao frowned and asked the middle-aged woman: "Who taught her to fold these thousand paper cranes?" ”

The middle-aged woman shook her head and said, "I don't know, I'll be there when I come." ”

I looked at the paper cranes and found that they were very neatly folded, colorful, and swaying in the breeze that was blowing in, which was refreshing to the eye.

Looking at it, I found another detail, the beds, tables and chairs in this room are all new, which makes me even more strange, Fengdu is only a small county town, and the economic conditions are not good at all, and the conditions are even worse in a place like a welfare institute that only eats but does not produce.

On the way here, I saw that the other children's rooms were very old houses, and the furniture was not donated by others, and even the outside duty room was broken and could not be broken again.

But Hong Xiaoyun's room is obviously repainted, and the furniture is all new, which is too strange.

The small single rooms also have a "luxury" finish.

Why?

Hong Qingsheng's family is honest, they are farmers who live by buckling ropes, and now that the family is ruined, not to mention, there don't seem to be any rich and powerful relatives, if there really is, Gao Mingchang didn't have the courage to hit the Hong family at the beginning.

The children in the welfare home said something that they didn't like, that is, the children that no one wanted, why did Hong Xiaoyun get preferential treatment?

I wanted to ask before I had time, but Miao Miao took the lead, she stared at the middle-aged woman with a smile, and said, "This small single room is obviously overconfigured, what's going on?" ”

"This, this."

The woman in the middle changed her face slightly, and said, "This child is too autistic and withdrawn, I don't take special care of it." ”

"Come less."

Miao Miao narrowed her eyes and said, "Someone has been here, right?" ”

I felt in my heart, Miao Miao was right, the welfare home must have encountered some external force, otherwise it would be impossible to give a child special care. Isolation and autism are not grounds for special care, and many children in welfare institutions are abandoned because of their congenital deficiencies, and this reason is obviously too pale.

I don't know why, but the person I suddenly felt was critical.

"This ......"

The middle-aged woman sighed and said, "Actually, there is nothing that can't be said, about a month ago, a person sent a sum of money to the welfare home, on the condition that the welfare home take care of this girl." ”

Miao Miao and I glanced at each other, and saw a deep surprise in her eyes, and I hurriedly asked, "Who is it, what does it look like?" ”

"I don't know who it is."

The middle-aged woman shook her head, her face was faintly pale, as if she had a relative, and recalled: "When he came, it was night, wrapped in a raincoat, I didn't see a straight face, very thin, and a little hunchbacked." ”

"Skinny and a little hunchbacked?" A man's face suddenly crossed my mind.

"It's him!"

I was shocked: "Hong Qingsheng!! ”

He's not dead!!
