"......"

"If you don't want to, forget it, I won't force it, you go back."

Xie Pujia looked at his waist lying flat on the bed and couldn't move at all, and didn't know that Ma Yue could only recover in the Year of the Monkey, her face was full of confusion, but the current situation did not allow her to bargain.

"Okay."

As long as she runs diligently to the hospital, she will always be able to meet Uncle Zheng or his assistant once.

"No. 315, Yinshu Lane, Huanyang Street, the key is in the newspaper box at the door, you can find it yourself." Then he added, "I'm going to eat the eggs laid by my chickens tomorrow morning, so you get up early and bring them to me." ”

After speaking, he looked at Xie Pujia and grabbed his hand, "Little girl, you are not very old, but your strength is not small, my old bones with rough skin and thick flesh are all painful from you." ”

Xie Pujia hurriedly let go of Old Man Zheng's hand apologetically, "I'm sorry, grandpa." ”

"What's it called? How old is this year? I can't just keep calling you little girl, can I? ”

"Grandpa, my name is Xie Pujia, Xie is full of thanks, Pujia is selected from the Book of Songs, Pujia is a canopy of Pujia! I've just started my first year of junior high school this year."

"Pu Jia......" Old Man Zheng read the two words twice in his mouth, "Your name is good." ”

When the name was mentioned, Xie Pujia's face was full of pride, "My mother gave it to me!" ”

Old Man Zheng looked at her and waved his hand, "Okay, okay, I'm sleepy, you peel an orange for me, peel it and put it there, I'll eat it later, you can go." ”

"Okay!" Xie Pujia peeled the orange, and the white silk on it was not completely clean, "Grandpa, this white silk has the effect of relieving cough and phlegm, regulating qi and strengthening the spleen, you can eat it with the orange flesh." ”

Old Man Zheng closed his eyes and did not respond.

Xie Pujia thought he was really tired, so she stood up cautiously and left the ward.

The little girl's footsteps were far away, and Old Man Zheng opened his eyes, looked at the male nurse beside him, and asked, "Is it like it?" ”

The male nurse in his fifties nodded with a little emotion and agreed, "Like, quite like." ”

Old Man Zheng smiled, "I was also in junior high school, and she always let me eat the white corn on the orange, hmph, I hate eating this thing the most!" ”

Male nurse: "Yes, yes, but Miss Luo, she always has a way to coax you to eat." ”

"Now I can't eat the oranges she peeled, if I had known, I would have ......" Old Man Zheng's eyes were red, and his tone was deeply sentimental.

The male nurse knew that the old man's sadness was mentioned, and quickly changed the topic, "Miss Luo, everything is fine in heaven, didn't she send a little girl to your side to take care of you for her." ”

Old Man Zheng stopped talking, stretched out his hand and pointed to the oranges, and the male nurse immediately understood the meaning, walked to the bed, peeled Xie Pujia and put it on a clean paper towel, broke the oranges piece by piece, and fed them to the old man's mouth.

......

"Hey, Jia Jia, I've found where Sun Min lives, the detective I found has a camera in his hand, and I took a photo of her going in and out with a middle-aged man, do you want it?" Let people contact you now. ”

As soon as Xie Pujia walked out of the hospital, she received a call from Huang Qiaoxiu and hurriedly said that she needed it.

"Okay, I'll have someone give it to you at the gate of the city's No. 2 Middle School?"

Xie Pujia thought for a while, the entrance of the No. 2 Middle School in the city was mixed, there were all kinds of eyeliner, it was not very safe, and she remembered the address reported by Old Man Zheng in her mind, so she reported the address of another house in the alley to Huang Qiaoxiu, "No. 305, Yinshu Lane, Huanyang Street, let people come here to trade with me, I happen to be outside." ”

"Okay, by the way, are you out on the weekend?"

"No, I just came back from watching Old Man Zheng from the Seventh Courtyard of the city."

"The mayor's father?"

"Well, I almost kicked people out."

"What's going on?" Huang Qiaoxiu hurriedly asked.

Xie Pujia exhaled and said in a happy tone: "It's so risky that you helped me investigate last night, and learned that Old Man Zheng's daughter who was in junior high school died a few years ago, I think that I am about the same age as his daughter at the time, and casually being coquettish may remind him of his deceased daughter, most of it has an effect." ”

"You brought oranges with you when you went to visit the patient, right?" Huang Qiaoxiu reminded.

Xie Pujia: "That's right, when I left, he specially asked me to peel an orange for him, and I didn't understand what it meant." ”

"I've been asking people everywhere, and I've heard that his deceased little daughter is very fond of eating oranges, so it's always right for you to bring some with you."

Huang Qiaoxiu's voice came from the man's urging, and Xie Pujia could hear it through the microphone that it was Dong Feng, estimating that the two of them should be about to have a good time, and they didn't bother their two-person world much, so they hung up the phone after a few words of greeting.

Wander around slowly along the way.

The autumn depression is vividly manifested in this dilapidated alley, the dead leaves are scattered all over the ground, there are no sanitation workers to clean it, Xie Pujia stepped on it, and the soles of her shoes rubbed the leaves, making a crisp sound of "crunch" and "crunch".

Daiwa white wall, the standard Yunlu City old-fashioned building, the alleyway is very narrow, and it is enough for three people to walk side by side at the same time, but fortunately, there are sun rays shining in during the day, adding a lot of brightness and bringing warmth that belongs to autumn.

Sparsely populated, Xie Pujia walked through the entire alley, but only heard one or two old dogs barking.

After turning four or five more alleys, he arrived at No. 305, Yinshu Lane, Huanyang Street, and stood at the door waiting for Huang Qiaoxiu's people to arrive.

Ten minutes passed, no one passed, and the No. 305 house behind her looked deserted and uninhabited, and she couldn't imagine how Old Man Zheng lived here alone on weekdays, and there was not even a neighbor around.

Tilting his head and looking up, the weather was fine today, blue sky and white clouds, the sunlight shining through the cracks in the trees on the white wall, and a few shades of orange in the distance were printed into a painting.

Orange ......

Xie Pujia looked up and looked fixedly, and in the low old courtyard in the distance, a few orange trees were faintly growing.

She raised her hand and counted them one by one.

05，06，07，08...... 15。

The place where she stood was No. 305 Yinshu Lane, Huanyang Street, and the yard where the orange trees were planted was No. 315, Yinshu Lane, Huanyang Street, the home of Mr. Zheng.

Huang Qiaoxiu said that his youngest daughter who died that year liked oranges the most, so the orange trees planted in the yard were not thinking about the little girl who died early.

It should be more of a reluctance to give up on the deceased daughter.

Xie Pujia fell into a chaotic stream of thoughts, until she was disturbed by a man's voice and came to her senses.

"Boss Huang's people, right?" The lean man held a stack of photos in his hand and handed it to Xie Pujia, "There are a lot of photos, and the printing speed is a little slow, I'm sorry." ”

"It's fine." Xie Pujia took it, "Thank you." ”

The man waved his hand away.

Xie Pujia looked down at the photo in her hand, at first she just felt disgusting, but the more she turned to the back, the more she felt that something was wrong.
