With the final goal set, Gu Yunzhe began to make some preparations.

First, we called everyone for a small meeting. Consult with everyone in the Star Lord's Alliance to see if any of them would like to go along. This question made Gu Yunzhe completely surprised, and found that all people had their own affairs, and if they didn't finish it, they couldn't leave at all.

Zihe and Wan Futong were looking for the girl's grievances, although Jiang Huaishan was on the side to assist, but there were a large number of people and geographical dispersion, so they couldn't be in a hurry at all. With the assistance of Youlan, Natu and Xiao Yuanqing have already photographed a piece of land, which is not very far from the current community, and has begun the planning drawing design stage. Only the original plan to buy a house can be said to be stopped. What's more, Xiao Yuanqing's engagement ceremony is a matter of the past ten days, and he really can't leave. Zhang Jianqiang also had to deal with the inspection work of many departments, and he couldn't leave.

Gu Yunzhe wanted to help, but found that Xiao Yuanqing's wedding was carte blanche entrusted to a planning company, and he didn't need to intervene at all. The real estate development of a few people in Natu is more professional, and he can't get involved at all. Only Zihe and Wan Futong were in the group, and their strength was a little weak, so he took the initiative to join in.

Zihe and Wan Futong were very happy, after all, with Gu Yunzhe's help, they could save a lot of effort.

A few days later, Zihe got a thick piece of information, which was compiled by a colleague from the public security department introduced to them by Jiang Huaishan these days according to Zihe's list.

Gu Yunzhe looked around and found that most of the list he gave could find clear kinship from here. A few, vaguely spoken, seem to have been relocated. Only a few of them have long been broken from the family, and there is no one left. When he saw this, he felt a little melancholy in his heart.

Zihe could feel Gu Yunzhe's sadness, "Big brother, as the saying goes, do your best, obey the destiny of heaven." As long as we have a clear conscience, heaven and earth can learn from it. I think the spirits of the dead will be at peace too. ”

Gu Yunzhe nodded, "Yes, do your best and listen to the destiny of heaven." Let's start with this first one, and go to Shanxi tomorrow. ”

Early the next morning, the three of them drove straight to Shanxi. After a whole day of running, in the evening, drive into the city of Datong. When they first entered the central city, several people were instantly shocked by the bright lights and luxury cars inside. The vehicles on the road are all foreign brands worth hundreds of thousands or millions. On both sides of the road are hotels and shopping malls, and the degree of prosperity is not weaker than that of Beijing.

Wan Futong looked out of the car, "It is said that the coal boss is rich, I have always heard of it, but now I can see it with my own eyes, and it is true." ”

Gu Yunzhe smiled, "Fortunately, our car is not of a low level, so it will not be despised by those people." Zihe and Wan Futong, who were in the same car, were both teased by his words.

The trio drove to a luxury hotel and stayed there that night.

The next day, according to the clues in the data, they came to a large residential area. Standing outside the gate of the residential area, the three of them frowned at the same time. The area is made of red brick and red bricks. The windows of each house are different, some are new and some are old, and some have protective iron nets outside. It looks like the buildings have been built for many years.

Although there is a gate in the community, there are no property facilities such as doormen. Directly opposite the gate is a wide concrete road with no vegetation on either side except for a few poplar trees. There are some private cars parked between the two trees. Most of these vehicles are low-end series of domestic brands, and you can buy one for tens of thousands of yuan. At the base of the walls on both sides near the gate, there are a large pile of household garbage, which has been piled up very high, and it seems that no one has come to clean it up for a long time.

Wan Futong glanced at Gu Yunzhe, "Big brother, are you sure, this is Jianhua Community?" ”

Gu Yunzhe nodded, "Sure." You see there's a couple of big letters out there. As he spoke, he pointed to the side, and there were several mottled marks of large letters on the wall. The blur can be recognized, four big characters "Jianhua Community." ”

Zihe shook his head, "If you divide the money used in the central area and put it here, you won't be so down." ”

Gu Yunzhe sighed, shook his head, did not speak, and walked inside.

As soon as I entered the community, a disgusting smell greeted me. Even Gu Yunzhe almost threw up, not to mention Zihe and Wan Futong, who had already covered their mouths.

Wan Futong pinched his nose and said angrily: "The weather is so cold, it's so smelly." If it's summer, wouldn't it smell even greater? How to live in people. ”

Zihe couldn't open his mouth at all, and Gu Yunzhe didn't want to answer questions here. The three of them quickly passed through the garbage heap, and after they were far away, the smell became a little lighter, but it could still be smelled.

"37th Floor, 2nd Floor, 2nd Floor, 302. That's the building. Gu Yunzhe found a huge white building number on the outer wall.

Several people hurriedly walked over and found a dark doorway, two wooden doors that had long been closed, leaning against the walls on either side. Follow the stairs to the second floor.

This is a three-family and one-staircase building type, and 302 is facing the staircase. Standing in front of the door, you can smell a strong smell of medicine.

Zihe stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door. Soon an old voice came from inside, "Who's coming?" There was a "click" sound from inside, and she stopped in front of the door, "click, squeak......" The door was opened, and an old woman on crutches appeared in the doorway. Seeing that Zihe was well-dressed, young and beautiful, he asked with a puzzled face, "Who are you looking for!" ”

Zihe looked at the hunched and white-haired old man in front of him, a little bitter, "Excuse me, do you remember Mianmian." ”

Hearing Zi He's name, the old man was stunned at first, as if recalling, after a while, she suddenly raised her head, her whole body began to tremble, her hands tightly grasped the handle of the crutches, her two eyes stared at Zi He, her originally somewhat cloudy eyes instantly became excited, she looked Zi He up and down, and said a little nervously, "Are you my granddaughter!" ”

Zihe knew that the old man had misunderstood, and shook his head with a smile, "I'm not your granddaughter, we have a document here, which has information about your granddaughter, Mianmian." Our company would like to find out about the family situation of those on the list on the spot, and see what difficulties they have, and we can help solve them. ”

The old man's nervous mood was slightly relieved, and he smiled slightly, "Look at me, I forgot to greet you, please come in." ”

Zihe turned his head and nodded, and the old man saw that there were two young people behind him. Three people walked into the house behind the old man.

The smell of medicine inside is even stronger, and it can be concluded that the smell of medicine that I smelled on the stairs just now came from this room. It's a two-bedroom apartment, the living room is not big, and the light is a bit dim because of the location. Fortunately, the doors of the two houses were open, so that the lights would not need to be turned on during the day.

There was no large furniture, only a dark red three-seater wooden sofa with some old lacquer on the armrests and legs. On the other side is a chest of drawers, the same color as the wooden sofa, which should be the same piece of furniture. On top of the cabinet are a thermopot and an enamel jar with a lid, and next to it is a fruit bowl with a few apples on it. Then there are a few chairs and a sewing machine.

"Old man, who else is there in the family?" Zihe asked.

The old man pointed to the wooden sofa next to him, "Please take a seat." I'm the only one left in the family now, and when I die in a few years, there will be no one at all. After saying that, he let out a long probing.

Gu Yunzhe asked: "Auntie, do you usually buy vegetables and medicine, do you have anyone to help?" ”

The old man sat on the seat next to the chest of drawers and nodded, "A few years ago, there was a family of my son, there was pneumonia that year, and the family traveled to Beijing, but I didn't expect to be infected, and I survived in the hospital for more than ten days, first my grandson, and then two adults, I didn't see the last one." He choked up as he spoke, and tears welled up in his eyes. They are gone, but the people in the community, as well as the police, often come to visit me. Help me with grocery shopping, medicine, cleaning, laundry. ”

The three of them listened to the old man tell about his family's sad past, and they also fell silent, but fortunately, they heard that the community and the police were enthusiastic to help, and they had a settled life.

"Old man, can you tell us a little bit about your granddaughter Mianmian?" Gu Yunzhe said.

Hearing Gu Yunzhe's words, the old man glanced at him and suddenly fell silent. Slowly picked up the enamel jar next to him and took a sip of water. Then gently lay it down and let out a long breath. "Mianmian is my son's first child, and when she was born, it was just in time for the bumper cotton harvest, so I gave her this nickname. It's just that my husband has been in his family, and he has been preaching to my son for five generations, but he gave birth to a girl, which made the old Kou family extinct. ”

When the three of them heard this, they seemed to feel that there should be an ulterior motive about the matter of Mianmian.

The old man continued, "At that time, the state was implementing family planning, which was a national policy, and no one dared not implement it. Although I gave birth to a girl, I didn't dare to hope for another child, and our family could only endure it. Originally, I planned to live like this, but unexpectedly, when Mianmian was five years old, an incident happened that made our family change their minds. Speaking of this, the old man suddenly saw that the three of them were just sitting there, and forgot to pour water for them, "Look at my memory, I'll pour you a glass of water." "I had to struggle to stand up as I spoke.

The three of them quickly got up, walked to the old man's side, helped her arm, and let the old man sit back. Gu Yunzhe said: "Old man, you don't have to be polite, we are not thirsty." If you want to drink water, let's do it ourselves. Please continue to tell us the story of Mianmian. ”

Seeing that the old man no longer insisted, several people sat back again.

The old man took another sip of water, "It was Mianmian's fifth birthday, and there was a man in our family who was not very old, not tall, but he could speak well. He learned about our family from other people and told us that he knew a place where people liked girls, and families without girls would adopt one out and come back. Even if it is adopted, it will be kept as a treasure of the heart, brocade clothes and jade food. When they get married, they will also give a rich dowry as a gift. ”

"There is such a good thing!" The three of them looked at each other and read their inner thoughts.

The old man continued, "We were also very conflicted at the time, although we wanted a son, but Mianmian was also our own flesh and blood, how could we give it away like this." Who knows, that person has repeatedly lobbied at the door. And there are also others who often come to the door and cooperate with that person to lobby together. Later, my foolish son listened to that man's words, and behind my back and his father, he secretly sat down with that man. Since then, my wife has dismissed him as a son until he gets Mianmian back. Naturally, my son didn't want to send back the money he had, so my wife put the kitchen knife around his neck and forced him to tell him where the quilt had been delivered. My son couldn't survive and spoke out later. My wife followed the address and searched for it by herself. I didn't expect to go, and I never came back. A few months later, my son came back from out of town with his ashes. The police came to the conclusion that they were attacked by wild beasts on the road, and when they fled, they stumbled and fell into a mountain stream of hundreds of meters and died. At this point, he choked up and cried again.

Zihe took out a pack of tissues, took out one, handed it to the old man, and threw the rest on the chest of drawers next to her.

The old man wiped his tears with a tissue, "Thank you." The two of us have been married for more than 20 years and have never stumbled. Unexpectedly, he had such an accident. If I had stopped it, maybe it wouldn't have happened. It's a pity that after he died, Mianmian was never recovered. Later, my son felt guilty and did what I was told to do. Soon after, the daughter-in-law became pregnant and later gave birth to a son. Unexpectedly, I still can't avoid natural disasters! That's fate! ”

Several people listened to the story of the visitor in silence, but they didn't expect such an accident to be there.

Suddenly, the old man looked at them, "Speaking of which, more than 20 years have passed since the Mianmian incident, how did you find her news, how is she now, is she doing well?" ”

Gu Yunzhe looked at the old man's earnest gaze, and suddenly didn't want to tell the truth, not to mention, this old man who lived alone, in his last years, still suffered this great pain, and he couldn't bear it, "That family is really good to her, and they love her very much, but her adoptive parents told her about it a few years ago, so that she can find her biological parents." She wanted to go against her adoptive parents' ideas, but then by chance, she ran into us. We are a non-profit organization, and there is no cost, and she asked us to find it on our behalf, just to know where she came from. ”

The old man's face was happy, but after thinking about it, he turned to sorrow again, "Yes, our family is sorry for her." I know she's doing well, that's all. Thank you. ”
