"Actually, speaking of that incident, it is also a knot in my heart, I like Li Zhen very much...... I took him for three years, and for three years, I watched him grow up......"

When the middle-aged man said this, an indescribable guilt had already emerged in his words.

"Li is really a single parent, you know, right?"

The two nodded, making it clear about the matter.

"Yes."

"His father died in an accident when he was seven years old, and his mother raised him alone......"

The middle-aged man sighed:

"Yes, it's really not easy for them."

"Li Zhen is a very laughing child, and so is his mother, every time I meet with them, or when I give Li Zhen a make-up lesson...... They're always laughing. ”

"Sometimes I'm very curious, and by chance, I asked Li Zhen 'What are you laughing at?', and Li Zhen's answer also surprised me, he said, 'I don't know what I'm laughing at, but my mother told me that if I smile at others, then others will smile at me too, after my father died, many people bullied me and my mother, and I think others can be kind to us, just like the teacher."

When he said this, the middle-aged man felt that his nose was a little sour.

In order to be able to provide Li Zhen with education, Li Zhen's mother has done almost all the dirty work, and women in their 40s are as old as they are in their 60s.

He had seen Li Zhen's mother's face that had been attacked by wind and frost, as well as the hands covered with calluses and some unknown wounds.

What Li Zhen's mother endured is far beyond words can describe.

"In fact, Li Zhen has always been a good boy, even if some classmates at school joked with him and maliciously tricked him, Li Zhen never got angry, just smiled and passed......"

"He loved his mom and believed what she told him."

"Although their mother and son are poor, they have always loved life, and believe that the future will be better and better, Li Zhen's mother also promised Li Zhen that after he finished college and came out to work, she would retire and no longer continue to do those hard work."

"I don't think it was for that...... Li Zhen will not become what he was later. ”

Speaking of that incident, the middle-aged man's face began to turn ugly.

Ning Qiushui took a sip of tea and asked:

"Which thing?"

The middle-aged man closed his eyes, his expression was a little painful, and he seemed unwilling to recall the incident.

At noon on June 22, Li Zhen's mother ...... Passed away. ”

Hearing the news, both of them looked stunned.

"Deceased?"

The middle-aged man nodded.

"It was the hospital that called Li Zhen, I was also at the scene at the time, and when we arrived at the hospital, Li Zhen's mother was no longer dead......

Before leaving, his mother only said three words to him......

Ning Qiushui asked:

"What three words?"

Middle-aged men:

"Laugh."

After he finished speaking, all three fell into silence.

After a long time, Ning Qiushui asked again:

"I take the liberty of asking, how did Li Zhen's mother die?"

The middle-aged man held the teacup in his hand, looking a little dazed.

"Car accident, excessive blood loss."

"Excessive blood loss?"

"Well, the doctor at that time told us that Li Zhen's mother actually had no serious injuries on her body, and it was excessive blood loss that caused her death."

Ning Qiushui smelled something was wrong.

The injuries were not serious, but they died of blood loss?

"Shouldn't someone call the police or call an ambulance as soon as you get into a car accident?"

"If the injury is not very serious, how can you die from blood loss?"

The middle-aged man clutched his teacup tightly, and the knuckles of his fingers were even a little white.

"Because it was very early at that time, Li Zhen's mother was hit by a car while sweeping the street, and the driver who hit the person escaped, and there were some passing office workers during the period...... But few people want to stop and call. ”

"They were afraid of being late, or maybe they were afraid of something, so they chose to bypass it...... When the hospital received the call, it was already more than half an hour later. ”

When talking about this matter, the two could clearly feel the anger of this middle-aged man.

He was angry at the indifference of this society.

Just stopping to make a phone call, even if it's a few minutes late for work, can save a person's life...... Is it hard?

He didn't expect it.

No one thought of it.

A completely avoidable tragedy, just like that, it was absurd.

"Later, I paid for Li Zhen's mother to be cremated, I wanted to help him take a leave of absence again, let him rest for a while, and then I went to Li Zhen's house to help him make up for the missing lessons, but Li Zhen refused my ......"

When he said this, Ning Qiushui suddenly raised his head and interrupted him:

"Sorry to interrupt you, but I want to know, is June 23rd Li Zhen's birthday?"

The middle-aged man paused and nodded.

"Yes."

"It was indeed Li Zhen's birthday that day, and I gave him a birthday cake, but I didn't prepare a greeting card because I was in a hurry......"

Hearing this, Ning Qiushui squinted his eyes slightly.

Something was already going on in his head.

"Li Zhen's roommate...... Do you often bully him? ”

This time, the middle-aged man also shook his head.

"I don't know about this, this kid has a lot of things buried in his heart, I have asked him before, but he said no, the dormitory management classmates are very good to him......"

"But I think he can do such a thing, I guess there are still a lot of contradictions in the dormitory, if only I could find out sooner......"

After saying that, he rubbed his face in some pain.

Ning Qiushui knew that the middle-aged man's guilt for Li Zhen stemmed from his liking for Li Zhen.

He was really fond of this kid.

Therefore, seeing that Li Zhen, who was about to embrace a better tomorrow, fell into the endless abyss all of a sudden, the middle-aged man took the blame on himself.

He felt that it was his lack of care for this student that led him to where he is today.

So after the incident, he resigned from his position as a homeroom teacher and chose to stay in the library as an administrator.

"I think I know the opportunity for the 'laughing man' to kill......"

The countless details in his mind began to be spliced, and Ning Qiushui let out a soft murmuring sound.

A murmur that only he could hear.

pS: Okay, brothers, it's still the fourth watch today, and I'll finish this copy tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and I'm ready to go to the next story.
