The little girl greeted him expressionlessly: "Hi, Li Cangshan, I'm so glad you're okay."
Li Cangshan: “…”
Now I can’t really tell whether I am OK or not.
The little girl and the old man looked at each other, and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
It seems hard to tell which of them is worse...
After a brief greeting, Zhou Guang followed Li Cangshan to the middle carriage to hide temporarily. They communicated with each other about where the surveillance cameras on the train were. At this time, it was completely dark outside.
The further north you go, the earlier it gets dark. Although it is already dark now, it is only a little after five in the afternoon.
According to the train's schedule, it would stop at the second station for an hour around 11pm. The three agreed to get off the train when it stopped and find a place to discuss the progress of the game.
After a brief agreement, Baili Xin returned to the first-class carriage.
He first went back to the A-1 carriage to take a look. Dijia was still busy with his work. Baili Xin said a few simple words and went out to find a friend to play with before leaving again.
Dijia was as generous as ever until Baili Xin closed the door and left. The man's originally kind face froze instantly, and he stared coldly at the place where Baili Xin left with an expressionless face...
Baili Xin first went to carriage A-7.
He knocked on the door twice and it opened instantly from the inside.
It was so fast that it seemed as if the person who opened the door had been waiting at the door.
The one who opened the door was an autistic young man. He mustered up his courage to look at Baili Xin and then quickly lowered his head: "You are really here, welcome."
"I promised you that I would come, and I will certainly not go back on my word." Baili Xin naturally looked around the spacious room. In addition to the autistic young man, there were two other people in the room. One was the woman he saw during the day, and the other was an old man in his fifties whom he had never seen before. He should be the young man's father.
The two men stood up from the sofa slowly and greeted Baili Xin.
The old man was different from the woman. He had a kind smile on his face. "Are you the friend my son met today? You are very handsome. Please take a seat. You are welcome."
After Baili Xin sat down, he began to look around the room as if nothing had happened. The luggage was neatly placed where they should be. There was a double bed and a single bed in the room. It seemed that the single bed was for the young man to sleep on.
On the desk connected to the wall was a photo frame, which contained a group photo of three people. The young man in the frame looked a few years younger than he is now, and his parents were not as old as they are now. Although the young man looked younger, he was in much better condition than he is now, with a ruddy complexion, red lips and white teeth, and he smiled happily, full of health.
Baili Xin glanced at the photo, and then his eyes swept over the young man's pale cheeks and lips that were bloodless but had an unhealthy purple tint.
When the young man went to the faucet to help Baili Xin wash the fruit, Baili Xin asked in a low voice: "Is Chai Li's heart not in good condition?"
The man and woman were startled, and then the man asked cautiously, "Are you a doctor?"
Baili Xin shook his head: "I'm not, but I have learned a little bit about this. His hands were shaking when he turned the Rubik's Cube, and some simple turns were not easy for him. Hand tremors and purple lips are common external symptoms of palpitations and heart disease."
The man glanced towards the bathroom, sighed helplessly and said, "You're right. He suffered from acquired heart disease a few years ago. We have been running around in the hospital looking for a matching heart for him over the years, but for so many years, there has been no suitable source of heart for him. He has rare type B RH negative blood, which is commonly known as panda blood. It is difficult to match ordinary blood types, let alone this rare blood type. The doctor said that if he doesn't have surgery quickly, he will not live for more than a year."
"We didn't want to tell anyone about this, but since you found out, it's okay for us to tell you." The woman continued, "Today in the restaurant, I
I didn't tell you this because I wanted to protect my son. He always wanted to see the snow on the mountain, so we decided to take this train. We saw most of the scenery on this train. I am useless as a mother. I gave birth to him but didn't give him a healthy body. He was sick and I couldn't prolong his life. I could only try my best to meet his wish and let him go without regrets. "
As the woman spoke, her eyes gradually turned red and her voice choked up.
The man held the woman in his arms and patted her back to comfort her. "He doesn't know about his illness yet. We lied to him and said he had a cold and needed to take medicine regularly. I hope you can keep it a secret and don't tell him about this. We want him to be happy in his last days. Just leave the sadness to us, a pair of incompetent parents."
While they were talking, the bathroom door opened. The man immediately stopped talking and changed the subject: "Isn't my tea good? It's the best Longjing tea that most people can't taste."
"It tastes really good." Baili Xin raised the teacup and took a sip calmly, then saw a fruit plate with water droplets on it brought to the coffee table.
Chai Li sat on the sofa obediently, with his legs neatly placed, his hands on his knees, and his shoulders straight, like a model student. "The fruit is washed, you can have a taste."
Baili Xin cooperated and picked up a grape and put it in his mouth, "Mm, very sweet."
The young man smiled shyly, "Baili Xin, let's wait, are we still going to play the Rubik's Cube?"
Baili Xin: "How about playing something else?"
The young man rubbed his hands nervously: "But I don't know anything else."
Baili Xin once again scanned the photos on the desk, "Then let's chat and look at photos? I like chatting with you."
The young man looked at his parents hesitantly, and nodded after getting a positive answer from them. "Okay, let's chat then. What do you want to talk about?"
"Let's just chat about what we are most familiar with," Baili Xin paused, "Let's talk about family. Chai Li, are your parents good to you?"
Upon hearing this, the man and the woman immediately tensed their shoulders and looked at Chai Li nervously.
Chai Li nodded sheepishly, "Okay, they are the best parents and they treat me very well."
The parents immediately showed touched expressions on their faces.
Baili Xin: "Do you love your parents very much?"
Chai Li: “Love.”
The old couple's eyes became even redder.
Baili Xin continued to ask as if nothing had happened: "Besides your parents, who else do you love?"
This time, Chai Li hesitated for several seconds before he whispered, "I still love my sister."
Baili Xin's eyes flickered slightly, "Sister? Do you have a sister?"
Here it comes, the thread connecting to the truth has been found.
The parents looked a little unnatural when they heard this, and the man explained, "My husband and I adopted a little girl before."
This time it was Baili Xin who was surprised: "Huh, is she already working? I didn't see her."
“No.” The woman shook her head. “She ran away from home a long time ago. We have looked for her, but there has been no news of her.”
Baili Xin: "Why did you run away from home? What a pity! You must be heartbroken, right? Did you really run away from home? Did you meet some bad guys?"
"Ah, so adopted children should be raised from childhood." The woman sighed, "She ran away from home on her own. She didn't want to stay in this family. I'm not in good health, and I can't have another child after giving birth to Chai Li. But we both always wanted to have two children and didn't want Chai Li to be so lonely, so we finally decided to adopt a child from an orphanage."
"Because Chai Li is a boy, we planned to adopt a little girl. Originally, we wanted to adopt a younger one so that she would be close to us from childhood. But when we were walking in the orphanage, we met my adopted daughter. She was already eleven years old at the time. Although my adopted daughter grew up in an orphanage, she was very polite and I liked her at first sight. In addition, the director at the time said that children of her age were no longer
There will be a family willing to raise him, so he can only stay in the orphanage until he reaches adulthood."
“I felt really sad when I heard that.”
"What we mean is that relationships are all about fate. I felt that I was destined to be with her. After seeing her, I couldn't stand looking at other children. There's nothing wrong with being older. Chai Li was only six years old at the time. She was old enough to be sensible and could help take care of Chai Li."
"So in the end we adopted my adopted daughter."
The woman sighed, "I thought this girl was a good girl, but I didn't expect she was just pretending. She was very considerate in the first month after she came to my house, but her true nature began to show in the second month."
"She cursed, fought violently, and bullied Chai Li. She came back from school covered in dirt many times. We initially thought she was being bullied and we even went to school for it. But the students testified that she was the one who bullied others and that she was the bully."
"I knew I was being tricked by her. But the child was adopted, she wasn't just a random person, I couldn't just throw her away, right? She was still a child, as long as I gave her love and time, I could make her better. But a few years later, she didn't get any better, on the contrary, she got worse and worse, smoking, drinking, getting tattoos, dyeing her hair, doing everything that a hooligans do. And her relationship with us got worse and worse, sometimes she even stayed out all night. Her head teacher called me to school a lot because of her."
"One day when she was fourteen, she stayed out all night again. We were used to it and thought she had stayed with a playmate. But she didn't come home for several days. The school also called me and said she hadn't been to class for several days. That's when I realized something might have happened to her."
“I called the police and reported the child missing, but we never found him.”
"I know, she ran away from home. She said a long time ago that she wanted to leave this home to pursue true love and freedom. I didn't let her, and she even quarreled with me, saying that I was a stepmother and didn't love her. Listen, what kind of words did she say? How could I not love her? If I didn't love her, I wouldn't have brought her back from the orphanage. She is an ungrateful person. I treated her so well, it's ok for her not to be grateful, but before she ran away from home, she took 10,000 yuan from me, which made me so angry."
The woman was already furious by the end of her speech, her chest rising and falling as she made accusations.
Seeing this, the man hurriedly helped the woman calm down, and as he did so, he comforted her: "It's okay, it's all in the past. There's no need to be angry over a child like this."
"It seems that this girl is repaying kindness with enmity. But why would Chai Li say 'love' to such a girl?" Baili Xin stared at Chai Li and asked softly, "Why, Chai Li?"
Chai Li shrank his neck timidly, "My sister is very good to me. She takes care of me, gives me delicious food, and plays with me."
"Chai Li was still young at that time, what could he remember?" The woman panted, "My son is good in every way, but he is too kind. My adopted daughter slapped him and then gave him a candy, but he only remembered the candy and not the slap."
Chai Li's face turned pale, his lips trembled, and his eyes flickered, but he was unwilling to say anything more.
Baili Xin: "So it seems that your adopted daughter is quite free-spirited. She ran away from home at the age of fourteen. She was adopted by you when she was eleven, which means she lived in your family for three years? It's not a long time, but it's not a short time. After so many years, she must be in her thirties now, right?"
"Almost." The man rubbed his brows. "When we adopted her, Chai Li was only six years old, and she was eleven years old. Now Chai Li is twenty-four years old. If she is still alive, she would be thirty years old."
Baili Xin: "..."
—If still alive.
This sentence is a bit redundant.
"Sister hasn't aged," Chai Li retorted in a low voice, "We saw Sister today, she is still the same as when she was little, she hasn't changed."
The woman glanced at Chai Li disapprovingly: "How could it be that she hasn't changed? People grow older and older, don't parents do the same? That's just a little girl who looks a lot like your sister. She's only that old, she can't be your sister's, she just looks alike."
Baili Xin: "..."
The person they saw should be Zhou Guang.
The timing also matched. This couple of parents were the family who adopted the little girl played by Zhou Guang from the orphanage.
"Hey, Baili Xin, I'm sorry." The woman pointed at Chai Li, "Xiao Li is tired, you can come and play with him tomorrow."
This was clearly an attempt to drive the guest away, so Baili Xin couldn't stay here any longer and stood up to say goodbye and leave.
After leaving Chai Li's room, Baili Xin did not return to his room, but walked to the middle carriage and quickly found the box of Li Cangshan and Zhou Guang.
The carriage door was closed, and Baili Xin knocked and walked in.
The little girl lived on the upper bunk. There was a middle-aged woman on her bed, holding a tablet with a lit screen in her hand, looking at Baili Xin warily.
Seeing that Baili Xin and Li Cangshan were obviously acquainted when they greeted each other, the middle-aged woman relaxed her guard, poked her finger on the screen, and said to the little girl next to her: "Come, let's continue watching cartoons. Beautiful girls transform and fight monsters. Not only you little girls, but even a big girl like me likes to watch it."
Zhou Guang's expression was full of excitement: "..."
First of all, the premise is that I am really a girl.
Baili Xin originally wanted to ask Zhou Guang something, but when he was overwhelmed by this scene, he forgot some of the things he wanted to ask.
After chatting with them briefly, Baili Xin ignored Zhou Guang's look for help and quietly left the room.
He had a quick bite in the restaurant before returning to carriage A-1.
When passing by the A-3 carriage, he found that the door of this room was not closed. Baili Xin looked through the narrow gap in the door and saw Li Qiuzhi fiddling with his camera in the hall. Li Qiuzhi was pointing the camera at his bed, as if he wanted to take some pictures.
Baili Xin stood at the door and looked for a while, but did not go in, but continued to walk towards carriage A-1.
He walked very slowly, and halfway through he suddenly bent down to tie his shoelaces.
While tying his shoelaces, he took the opportunity to look behind him.
In the long and narrow corridor, there was no one, let alone a ghost.
Baili Xin tied his shoelaces, stood up silently and continued walking forward: "..."
Although there was no one around, he always had a feeling that he was being watched and followed.
This was definitely not his illusion. Someone... or some kind of power was secretly spying on him.
Baili Xin finally walked to room A-1. When the door closed, the feeling of being stared at was also blocked.
"Are you back?" Dijia's voice, which was not very warm, came almost the moment Baili Xin came back.
The voice was suppressed, like a lover preparing to catch someone cheating.
Baili Xin looked at Dijia, who was sitting on the sofa wearing only a shirt and casual pants, and suddenly felt guilty.
He smiled dryly, with an innocent smile on his face that Tian Jia could not resist the most: "You are back, are you finally done with work? I saw you were working all the time, and I didn't dare to go back to the room for fear of disturbing you."
The fire that was about to ignite Dijia was instantly extinguished. The man stared at the young man's broken smile in a daze: "Are you leaving so as not to hinder me?"
Baili Xin rubbed his shoulders and yawned tiredly: "Yeah, but you are so handsome and serious when you are working, which is very different from usual."
All of Dijia’s anger is gone this time.
Go to hell for coming out and playing wild, go to hell for being seduced by other little goblins.
Baili Xin was clearly thinking about himself. He was so tired and couldn't go back to his room, so he could only wander around outside in boredom.
She didn't know how to sympathize with Baili Xin, but was still sulking in the room like a nagging woman.
He is such a fool.
It turns out that Baili Xin came back so late because of me.
The man's expression is still cool, but his heart is already
My heart is blossoming, and countless flowers fill it.
happy.
A young man who cares about himself like this wants more than just the company of other young people, he wants something else.
When his reason returned, a voice suddenly appeared in Dijia's heart.
Such a wonderful young man, he only wanted him to look at himself, and those beautiful obsidian eyes could only look at himself.
He wanted more than just companionship, he wanted the whole of youth.
What he saw with his eyes, thought in his heart, and said with his mouth was only him, Diga.
The young man was so nice that as soon as he showed his face on the train, so many people surrounded him.
If young people like this are not kept a close eye on, they might be kidnapped by bad guys in the next second.
Otherwise, imprison him.
This way, I won't worry about him being kidnapped, and he will only have eyes for me.
Dijia was frightened by the voice in his heart, and he immediately denied this voice in his heart.
No. If this is the case, the young man will be sad. He has disguised himself so well with great difficulty. If he knew his dark heart, he would hate himself and run away more eagerly.
The voice sneered: Are you going to watch the young man leave? Are you going to watch the young man smile at someone else like this? Are you going to watch the young man lie on someone else's bed? Are you willing
The skin hidden under the shirt seemed to begin to dissolve and wriggle. Dijia was startled and suddenly stood up from the sofa. He hurriedly said, "I'm going out for a while, you go to sleep first" and left in a hurry as if escaping.
Baili Xin narrowed his eyes, walked to the door and looked into the corridor, but there was no sign of Dijia.
s419m was very puzzled: Lord Host, Lord God, what happened
Baili Xin uttered a short but powerful two-word mantra: Holding it in.
s419m:…
I won’t be fooled. I won’t ask what’s holding me back. I absolutely won’t ask!
…
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Dijia had not returned yet.
Baili Xin had taken a nap and opened his eyes at the sound of the alarm.
There was an irregular shuddering sensation coming from the bed and the surroundings, and the speaker above my head announced that the station was about to arrive.
Baili Xin stood up from the sofa where he had taken a nap and walked to the window. After opening the curtains, he found that the train had entered the platform.
This platform is larger than the first one, but because it was 11 o'clock in the evening, the platform was not too crowded.
He did not forget the agreement with Zhou Guang and Li Cangshan, and turned and walked out of the first class cabin.
Each carriage has an independent door. Baili Xin remembered something after he walked out of the door.
Zhou Guang didn't have a ticket, and it was difficult for him to get in the first time due to the chaos. If he got out this time, it would probably be even more difficult for him to get in again.
He was so busy that he actually forgot such an important thing.
Afraid that Zhou Guang would get off the car, Baili Xin quickly turned around and prepared to get in the car to stop Zhou Guang.
Just as he turned around, he heard a shout from behind: "Xin Shen, I finally found you."
Baili Xin turned around and saw that the old man Li Cangshan and the little girl Zhou Guang were already standing behind him, "..."
He looked at the two of them with a complicated expression, "Zhou Guang, we still need to check our tickets before getting on the bus. How are you going to get on without a ticket? Sorry, I forgot just now. There are a lot of people getting on and off the bus right now. Why don't we take advantage of the chaos and get on the bus?"
"No need," the little girl smiled and took out a ticket from her pocket, "I have a ticket here."
Baili Xin: "Where did you get the ticket?"
Little girl: "It was given to me by the lady in the middle carriage. She knew I didn't have a ticket and that I wanted to get off the train for a walk, so she lent me her ticket temporarily. I will return it to her when I get on the train. During the stop, the ticket is not checked, so it is safe."
Baili
Xin: "So she gave it to you."
After saying that, he glanced at Zhou Guang mischievously: "Zhou Guang, is calling me 'Auntie' pretty smooth?"
Zhou Guang smiled awkwardly, "Being a little girl is actually pretty good."
"Speaking of the little girl," Baili Xin's expression became more serious, "I have found out what you asked me to find out about this little girl and that family. I will tell you now."
When he heard that it was about the mission, Zhou Guang's expression became serious.
While Baili Xin told Zhou Guang what he had heard today, he looked towards the window of the first-class carriage.
He quickly found the glass in Li Qiuzhi's room. The recent transcoding is serious. It makes us more motivated and updates faster. Please move your little hands to exit the reading mode. Thank you
