Chapter 25 Grounded
Tong Mu sat on the chair, occasionally looked around, and looked at Cai He from time to time.
To be honest, after knowing each other for so many years, it was the first time she could see Cai He's face clearly.
Ever since she had that unknown disease, she had been afraid to see people's faces.
Well, now everything is back to normal.
Cai He looked at Tong Mu with a smile and said softly: "Mu Mu, you haven't been here for a while, have you?" Would you like to go out for a walk later? ”
There is not much difference in their age, six or seven years old.
But there are also two generation gaps.
The relationship between the two was good before, and Cai He went out with her, mostly shopping or watching movies.
Tong Mu nodded, "It's okay, but it's a little late today, wait for next weekend, there will be a new funny movie released." ”
Cai He was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
After knowing each other for so many years, she is silent and rarely speaks, and more often, she prefers to be alone.
Tong Zhao and Hu Qinrong are afraid that if she continues like this, after a long time, there will be some psychological problems.
So please take care of her more.
In the past, I was looking for a conversation by myself and asking her out for a walk.
Today, she took the initiative to ask herself to go shopping, and this is the first time.
Hu Qinrong and Tong Zhaole were happy, "It's just right, you guys, take some time to go out and have a good time......
Cai He made tea and put it on the table to talk to them.
It didn't take long for the small courtyard to completely cease to talk, and the room was quiet.
Cai Donglai was wearing a uniform and came in through the side door with a sad face.
Tong Zhao stood up and said with a smile: "Lao Cai, what worries you like this, your brows are about to be broken." ”
Cai Donglai is a very ordinary middle-aged man, a little fat, and he is tense in his uniform.
The stubble on his chin is short and his pupils are deep.
He glanced at Tong Zhao resentfully and sighed.
"It's been a case for many years, and it's tricky."
He shook his head.
The content of official business is basically confidential, and he can't say more.
After having a meal at Cai's house, Tong Mu's family went back.
Along the way, Tong Mu was silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
She suddenly remembered a lot of things, and heard the news from today.
Twelve years ago, their city experienced a heinous serial murder case.
And the victims are all children under the age of ten.
The bodies of these dead are horrific and there is hardly a good piece of flesh and blood.
The medical examiner deduced that they had been subjected to inhuman torture during the period before they died.
Tong Mu clenched his fingers, and his lips turned a little pale.
She was also one of the victims of that serial murder, but she was the luckiest to be the only survivor.
She didn't remember much about what happened after she was taken away by the murderer.
I only knew that when I was rescued, I only had one breath left.
The police kept coming to the door to collect evidence, and the media and reporters blocked the door every day waiting for interviews.
She couldn't bear the pressure, so the family packed up their things and moved to another city.
I don't know what's going on later, Tong Mu forgot about it completely.
Now that I think about it, it all felt like a dream.
The only survivor was not her, but a survivor who had been bedridden for more than ten years.
She seemed to be dead, dead in that murder.
She is alive now, and she has nothing to do with the murder.
No one remembered that it had anything to do with her......
What gave Hu Qinrong the most headache was Tong Mu's learning problem.
Ever since she started getting sick, there has been a lot of bad talk in the school.
Many people say that Tong Mu is a neurotic.
So far, the couple has put a lot of effort into it, and the issue of children's education is very important.
It's impossible not to let her study, and if she asks for a tutor, she won't be able to study in school like other children, and after a long time, she will find that she is different from everyone else.
In order to allow Tong Mu to receive a better education, Hu Qinrong and his wife had to learn from Meng's mother and three moves.
From time to time, I take her to change cities and school life.
Unexpectedly, she went to college and returned to her hometown by herself.
Maybe it's providence too.
Hu Qinrong sat on the edge of the bed and packed his clothes, frowning, looking worried.
"Wife, don't worry." Tong Zhao took the clothes in her hand and said comfortingly: "Mu Mu's situation has improved a little now, you see that she has eaten a lot today." ”
Hu Qinrong glanced at him and became even more worried.
"I'm not worried about that."
She turned to look to the other side and said in a muffled voice: "I'm worried that she will go to school, and you don't know what her classmates say about her in private." ”
Tong Zhao pursed his lips, a little helpless.
"Wife, I said a long time ago that I wouldn't send Mu Mu to school, she won't know anything in this life, and I can afford it!"
Hu Qinrong glared at him and reached out to hit him.
"If you don't send it to school, do you want our daughter to be an illiterate person who can't read big words?!"
His head hurt, and Tong Zhao screamed.
He knew that he had said the wrong thing again, so he didn't dare to talk back anymore, waiting for Hu Qinrong to beat him to dissipate his anger.
"Wife, our daughter is so smart, don't worry." He held his wife's hand and comforted: "No matter what Mu Mu becomes in the future, I will be her most solid backing!" ”
He waved his fist, his eyes shining, "I can protect my daughter for the rest of my life!" ”
Hu Qinrong was amused by him, sniffed and beat him.
Towards the end of the semester, Tong Mu spent a lot of time in school every day.
It's been exams every day these days.
Coming out of that game, the world in Tong Mu's eyes returned to normal.
She saw the faces of her classmates one by one, it turned out that the osmanthus flowers in the school were so fragrant.
It turns out that the poster is painted with a flying goddess, not A Piao......
She stood in front of the department's promotional picture and looked at it for a while, and walked away with a sigh.
There were a few strange glances that fell on her, Tong Mu turned his head and saw three girls staring at her with different expressions.
Recognizing that it was from her own class, she greeted her in a friendly manner.
"Good morning."
The three girls were stunned, and one of them smiled at her quickly and kindly.
"You came to school so early today? Do you want to go to the classroom together? ”
Before she finished speaking, she was frantically pulled by her companion next to her.
She turned around and saw her companion's incredible look, as if to say, "Are you crazy?"
Tong Mu saw the interaction of several people and refused with a smile.
"No, I want to go to the cafeteria for breakfast first."
Going to the cafeteria for breakfast?!
Aren't her parents well-known local rich people? So rich and still go to the cafeteria to eat such a bad breakfast?
It's so down-to-earth......
When Tong Mu walked away, the girl just turned around and looked at her two companions with her eyebrows.
"What are you doing! It's all classmates, what's wrong with me calling her together? ”
The face of his companion changed, and he looked at Tong Mu who was walking away, and said in surprise: "Don't you know? ”
