Song Ci stepped forward and sat down beside Zhao Wanxia.

Zhao Wanxia, who was in a daze, realized it at this time, turned her head to look at Song Ci, and then stood up with a slam of voice, with awe of Song Ci, as well as restraint and nervousness towards strangers.

At this time, Song Ci had already added rules to himself, just like millet grains, as long as the ghost saw him, he would automatically get some information about his identity, saving him the trouble of explaining himself every time.

"Mr. Song, you ...... Hello ......"

Zhao Wanxia stammered and said hello, and seemed to be relieved when she saw the millet grains next to her.

Seeing this, Song Ci couldn't help frowning slightly.

It seems that Zhao Wanxia is very afraid of people, and I don't know if she is simply afraid of strangers or adult men.

Song Ci felt that it should be the latter, otherwise it would not have given her a sense of security because of the existence of millet grains.

"Sit down and talk." Song Ci smiled at her.

But Zhao Wanxia stood still and did not move, with a look of hesitation on her face.

She didn't sit down, but the millet grains sat down next to Song Ci, looking at the gurgling river in front of her.

This river is an artificial river dug by hand in rural areas for flood control and flood control, as well as for field irrigation.

In this land of China, there are such rivers everywhere, and Songjiazhuang, Song Ci's hometown, also has such a river.

Grandpa also told him that these rivers were dug out by them with a spade and a spade, and they went to work every day, counted the work points, and contracted a section of the village for a section, all relying on manpower, unlike now there are excavators.

Song Ci has never seen such a dense scene, full of working people, shoulder-to-shoulder.

The artificial river in front of me is at the junction of the two provinces, and after crossing the river, it is another province.

However, because of this, many local villagers marry into other provinces, and there are also many villagers from other provinces who marry in, saying that they are two provinces, but in fact they do not have much impact, the only difference is that some policies are slightly different.

Zhao Wanxia saw Song Ci looking at the river in front of her and didn't say anything more, so she sat down cautiously, but there was still a grain of millet in the middle, and there was still some distance, which showed her strong vigilance.

Even if Zhao Wanxia sat down, she still seemed anxious and uneasy, and frequently peeked at Song Ci.

Song Ci didn't let her wait for a long time, but said directly: "Do you know why I came to you?" ”

Zhao Wanxia shook her head.

Then he looked at the millet grains next to him.

At the first glance of Millet Grains, she learned that they were walkers and understood their duties.

So she naturally thought that she was coming to extradite her.

"Actually, I was entrusted by someone." Song Ci retracted his gaze and looked at her.

Zhao Wanxia first showed a look of surprise, and then noticed that Song Ci was staring at her, and immediately turned her head over, and her body moved a little uncomfortably.

Looking at some of her subtle movements, Song Ci could already vaguely guess what had happened to her.

"Do you remember Zhou Yutong?" Song Ci said directly.

Zhao Wanxia turned her head sharply when she heard this, looked at him with wide eyes, and said in a somewhat sad tone: "She...... Did she have an accident too? ”

Song Ci shook his head, and then explained: "Over the years, she has been looking for her traces, but she has found nothing, and his boyfriend knows about it, so he begged me to come here." ”

"She got a boyfriend?" Zhao Wanxia looked surprised, with a faint hint of disgust and rejection.

"She's in her thirties, and a lot of kids her age are in kindergarten." Song Ci said.

"It's been so long, huh?" She looked at the river in a daze.

Song Ci didn't bother her, just sat quietly with her like this.

The millet grains next to him were so bored that they pulled the grass next to him that had begun to sprout green shoots.

After a long while, Zhao Wanxia turned around and asked Song Ci, "Is she the host?" ”

"Host?" Song Ci was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Yes, her dream when she was a child was to be a TV host." Zhao Wanxia said.

Song Ci shook his head, he didn't expect Zhou Yutong's ideal to be the host of the show, which is a bit different from her personality.

"She became a police officer." Song Ci said.

Zhao Wanxia's eyes widened when she heard this, and she looked extremely surprised.

"She used to hate the police the most, how could she be a police officer?"

Song Ci heard this: "Her father is a policeman, how can she hate the police." ”

"It's because her dad is a police officer that she hates the police." Zhao Wanxia said firmly.

Song Ci was a little stunned when he heard this, because Yun Chuyao had told him before that when she was young, she had a very bad relationship with Yun Shiqi.

Because he is often away from home, many family activities are absent and missed, and it is strange for children to like it.

"The reason why she became a police officer is probably because of you, and over the years, she has been using her position to find your whereabouts." Song Ci said.

When Zhao Wanxia heard this, the corners of her mouth squirmed, and the corners of her eyes were a little moist.

Zhao Wanxia turned her head, raised her hand, and then said in a nasal voice, a little choked: "She is my best friend." ”

"Well, you can tell."

"Our two families are neighbors, my father is an employee of an agricultural machinery factory, and the two of us grew up together since childhood......

"I often went to Zhou Yutong's house to play at that time, and her mother was also very nice, always washing fruits and taking snacks for me......"

"Because Zhou Yutong and her father are often away from home, if something breaks at home, my father will help repair it......"

"My mother also has a good relationship with her mother, and every year during the Chinese New Year, they take turns to form a dinner party......"

"My dad was fine then......

……

Speaking of the past, Zhao Wanxia's eyes were full of longing and nostalgia for her childhood.

"Later, my dad was laid off, and then he started a business with others, and he was cheated out of a lot of money......"

"At that time, many people came to ask for debts, and there were many times when they made a lot of trouble, thanks to Uncle Zhou's ......"

"In order to avoid debts, my parents quietly sold their house and prepared to move to the countryside......"

"I wanted to say goodbye to Zhou Yutong, but my mother said that she wouldn't let me go for the sake of face, and said that in the current situation of our family, she couldn't hide and couldn't meet me, so I knew she was lying to me......"

"Later, I came to my grandfather's house with my parents, but my grandparents have been dead for many years, and the house is very dilapidated, so my father said that we will live for a while, and when he makes money and pays off the account, we will move back again......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Wanxia's face was full of confusion, and a trace of sadness slowly crept up his brow.

Song Ci did not urge, continued to wait patiently, and then saw millet grains holding a piece of grass in his hand, and an ant on the grass was looking around, but he couldn't find a way to come from, and he couldn't find a way back.

At this moment, Zhao Wanxia said again: "Later, my father not only didn't make any money, but also got involved in gambling, not only put the money to buy a house, but also owed a lot of money outside, my dad was completely wasted, every day he either drank or slept, in addition, he borrowed money everywhere to gamble......

"Why did a good home become like this?"

Zhao Wanxia looked at Song Ci, as if she wanted to seek an answer from him, but Song Ci didn't know how to answer.

"Later, my dad owed too much money, so he gave me and my mom to someone else......

Song Ci frowned when he heard this, at the end of the nineties and the beginning of the zeros, some places were indeed very chaotic, but the police should not care about things like this.

So Song Ci asked directly: "Why didn't you call the police?" ”

When Zhao Wanxia heard this, her face was a little pale and she shook her head.

It seems that there may be another twist in the way.

Song Ci wanted to ask again, but saw Zhao Wanxia stand up, turn around and leave, and then quickly disappeared in front of the two.

"Oh?"

Millet put down the stalk in her hand and reached for her hammer.

Song: ......

"No, she doesn't want to say it, there must be her difficulties." Song Ci said.

When Millet heard this, he put down the hammer in his hand.

"Let's go, let's go back." Song Ci stood up and patted the grass clippings on his buttocks.

He felt that handing over the rest to Zhou Yutong might be the best result.

When Millet Grain heard this, he also hurriedly got up, and then naturally stuffed his little hand into Song Ci's big hand.

"Go home."

Song Ci said with a smile, and then the two disappeared directly to the shore.

When they disappeared, Zhao Wanxia reappeared, still standing on the riverbank, but this time, instead of looking at the gurgling river, she looked at the ruined village behind her.

——

"How, good news or bad news?"

When Yun Wanli saw Song Ci, he couldn't wait to ask.

Song Ci hadn't spoken yet, but Nuan Nuan, who was ignored next to him, was not happy.

With his backhand, he said angrily: "Uncle, you haven't greeted me yet." ”

"Uh, Nuan Nuan, you're there too." Yun Wanli hurriedly said with a smile.

"Hmph, I'm angry, I don't want to pay attention to you now." Nuan Nuan Huan on his chest, humming and humming.

"I'm sorry, my uncle didn't pay attention just now, can you forgive me?"

Yun Wanli stretched out his hand to hug her, but Nuan Nuan turned around, his butt was facing him, and he was still shaking his body back and forth, looking uncooperative, Song Ci stood next to him and laughed without saying a word.

"Otherwise, I'll treat you to a big dinner at noon." Yun Wanli said loudly.

Then I saw Nuan Nuan leaning her ears and eavesdropping quietly.

"Oh, what's the meal?" Song Ci also cooperates with authenticity.

"Let's eat hot pot, in winter, eat some hot mutton hot pot, it's the most appropriate."

Nuan Nuan pouted when she heard this, she likes mutton, especially mutton skewers, but she doesn't like hot pot, because hot pot is too spicy, too hot, and it is so troublesome to eat.

"Hmph."

Nuan Nuan snorted loudly, indicating that she was very dissatisfied with the meal.

"Forget it, if it's on fire these days, I won't eat hot pot."

"Well, let's go eat roast goose, shall we?"

Song Ci was a little surprised, this is just a dish, not the main meal.

The little one, with his back to them, craned his neck and continued eavesdropping.

"Roast goose?"

"Yes, the nearby Vientiane Mall has opened a new Cantonese restaurant, and the slam well roast goose is their signature, in addition, there are also signature dishes such as crispy roast pork and pineapple buns......"

"This is good, this is good, just eat this, just eat this......"

Before Yun Wanli finished speaking, Nuan Nuan turned around and said eagerly, for fear that Yun Wanli would regret it.

"Not angry?" Yun Wanli asked with a smile.

"Who's angry, I'm kidding you." Nuan Nuan is a serious and authentic person.

"Haha~"

Song Ci and Yun Wanli laughed loudly.

Yun Wanli bent down and picked her up and let her ride on his shoulder.

"You little thing, just like your mother when she was a child, you are a little clever ghost......"

"Hey, hey, hey......"

Nuan Nuan also laughed happily, and she didn't know if it was because she went to a big meal, or because her uncle said she was like her mother.

On the way to the Cantonese restaurant, Yun Wanli couldn't wait to ask again.

Song Ci didn't answer immediately, but asked with a smile: "What kind of answer do you think it will be?" ”

Yun Wanli glanced at him when he heard this, then sighed and said, "Yutong will definitely be sad when he knows." ”

He is also an extremely shrewd person, and when Song Ci asked him rhetorically, he had already guessed the answer in an instant.

In fact, before this, he and Zhou Yutong basically had the speculation that Zhao Wanxia was not alive, but it was not confirmed, and Zhou Yutong never wanted to believe it.

"How did she ......?"

Yun Wanli opened his mouth and just wanted to ask, but he reacted that Nuan Nuan was still sitting on his shoulder, so he immediately kept silent.

Song Ci understood what he meant, so he took the initiative to say, "I don't know either." ”

Yun Wanli looked at her in some surprise.

"She didn't want to say, so I didn't ask any more......"

So Song Ci told Zhao Wanxia, to be precise, some of the things that happened in Qi Lianxia's family in detail.

"What a brute, that's her own daughter." When Yun Wanli heard this, he couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

Yun Wanli has seen a photo of Qi Lianxia, a very beautiful, very delicate little girl, at such a young age, she was given to the creditor, and the next encounter can be imagined.

"Gambling has pulled him into the abyss, and he is not a man." Song Ci said lightly.

"In that case, why didn't she tell you who the killer was? Does she know why you're looking for her? ”

"I know, I told her, I was entrusted by her best friend." Song Ci said.

Yun Wanli was silent when he heard this, and his mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about the reason why Qi Lianxia was reluctant to say it.

But before he could come up with a reason, the Cantonese restaurant that Yun Wanli said had arrived.

Song Ci took a look inside, the decoration is very new, and it should be newly opened soon.

"It's really a daughter-in-law who forgets her mother, and your mother-in-law still thinks about you every day when you have time to go back to dinner, and you say every day that you are busy, but you still have time to date your girlfriend."

"Dating? What dating? Don't talk nonsense. Yun Wanli forcibly quibbled.

"Pull it down, this restaurant has just opened, how do you know that it tastes good, it means that you must have been here, don't tell me, you came to eat alone." Song Ci gave him a blank look.

"You, kindly invite you to dinner, you still talk so much, it's really unpleasant, I won't eat it......" Yun Wanli was annoyed and angry, and he was about to leave.

"Nope."

Nuan Nuan, who was riding on his shoulder, immediately grabbed his ears, as if grasping the steering wheel.

"Drive, hurry up and get in, hurry up and get in......"

While urging, she also said to Song Ci: "Dad, why are you so ignorant, don't make your uncle angry." ”

"Uncle is good, we're not angry, we don't play with him."

Song: ......
