When the surrounding villagers saw that we had been kicked out, they all suppressed smiles on their faces, but they didn't dare to laugh on the spot. I saw a big brother whose face turned purple from suffocation, and he was not afraid of being suffocated to death. I took a few bites of the steamed bun in my hand, even if I was angry, I had to fill my stomach.
Zhao Mingkun was a little annoyed and amused: "What time is this, you can eat it too."
I shrugged: "You can't bully your stomach with other people's rudeness, right?"
At this time, an old-looking grandma came out of the onlookers. She was seventy or eighty years old, with white hair and wrinkled face. Leaning on a cane, she slowly walked in front of us, with a slow and dry voice: "I am Mrs. Huang. If you don't mind, come to my house to eat something, and see if this young man is hungry."
It was another night of running around, and in the morning, I was really hungry, so I agreed.
Back at Mrs. Huang's house, Mrs. Huang slowly prepared breakfast for us, while sitting on the kang and chatting with us. During the chat, I learned that Mrs. Huang's wife passed away decades ago. Mrs. Huang has never had a son or daughter, and usually lives alone. But her body is also very strong, and she usually takes care of herself. She is the oldest old man in Dayan Village.
Rice soup was gurgling on the fire, and Mrs. Huang took out the meat sauce she made herself, and brought a lot of steamed buns.
Mrs. Huang said: "My family has subsistence allowances. I am a dying person, and I don't need much. I have a surplus every month. You guys, eat more."
Compared with Lu Zhiqiu's mother before, what Old Madam Huang said is like heaven and earth. Now I also believe that Lu Zhiqiu's parents can really do something like roll around on the construction site and get back a million. And with Hu Pei, they probably need a lot of insurance money. What Zhang Denghui said before may be true.
I couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Grandma, those old couple of the Lu family look really good. I kicked me out without eating anything. I didn't say anything, just mentioned Lu Zhiqiu's name."
When Lu Zhiqiu was mentioned, Mrs. Huang shook her head and sighed.
"That little girl, it can be said that I watched her grow up." Mrs. Huang said.
"I don't think you and their family are neighbors, they are quite far away." I was a little puzzled.
Mrs. Huang handed the rice soup to me, and drank a bowl slowly by herself: "Lu Zhiqiu's father is called Lu Fengwei, and his mother is called Guo Gaimei. The two of them, although they are younger than me, are in their bones. That is a tradition. Really. Their family has always favored sons over daughters since they were young, and they gave birth to a daughter in their first child, Lu Zhiqiu, and they almost threw the child away."
As if recalling the past, Mrs. Huang told us vividly.
Mrs. Huang said: "At the beginning, everyone in the village knew about this incident, and you can also see that those two people are not easy to mess with. Especially that Guo Gaimei, that mouth is completely damaged. You said that the man favors men. Let’s look down on women, Guo Gaimei is even more powerful, as if she is not a woman herself!”
I nodded: "Then why are the siblings so close that they can be in their teens?"
Mrs. Huang snorted coldly: "At the beginning, Lu Fengwei didn't know who told me what folk recipes to guarantee a son, but he had to persist for ten years. Then Lu Fengwei and Guo Gaimei just ate something every day and used some simple methods for ten years. At that time, Lu Zhiqiu must have been in high school, and their son Lu Xiangyang was born."
"As soon as Lu Xiangyang was born, he spoiled the lawless one." Mrs. Huang continued: "At first, the family favored sons over daughters, but now it's all right, especially with a son. Originally, Guo Gaimei didn't want her daughter to go to school, but Minors are not allowed to go out to work, Lu Zhiqiu also strives to go to school, not only does not pay, but can also get money from home, Guo Gaimei just gave up."
I took a big mouthful of rice soup and asked while eating the steamed buns, "How about Lu Zhiqiu?"
"Good! Good! Good!" Mrs. Huang picked up Thumb, and said three good words in succession: "Lu Zhiqiu, a child, has a kind heart since he was a child. Every time he is bullied, he doesn't resent. And when he sees others If you are bullied, you have to go up to persuade them. It turns out that there are naughty and mischievous children in the village who love to bully others. Lu Zhiqiu is not annoyed every time, and he often helps the children."
I nodded. I heard Lu Zhiqiu's previous counselor, the grandmother, also said that Lu Zhiqiu also sponsored a female student from a difficult family. It seems that Lu Zhiqiu has been so kind since he was a child.
"My wife left early, I have no children, and I feel very lonely alone. Sometimes, I like to invite those children to come in and sit down. I give them something to eat, and they will chat with me." Mrs. Huang is full There was a smile on the wrinkled face: "At that time, Lu Zhiqiu often came to my house to play. The little girl is cute, cute, and beautiful! And she is really sensible. She often massages my legs and helps me clean the house. .”
The old grandma's smile seemed to bloom into a flower: "When she didn't have her brother, she was not welcome at home, and she often came to my place. Sometimes I can't understand her parents' behavior, but Lu Zhiqiu always It doesn’t matter if you say that you are the child of your parents, you should understand being filial to your parents.”
The old lady shook her head and sighed: "Hearing this, I feel ashamed for Lu Fengwei."
It can be heard that Lu Zhiqiu has a kind heart, and he never seems to hold grudges when facing other people's harm to him, and he can also speak for these people. Thinking about it this way, Lu Zhiqiu has a really good heart.
The old lady's smile disappeared from her face, and she said slowly: "I had good legs and feet at the time, and I was alone, so I raised some puppies and cats. Every time Lu Zhiqiu came, he would help me feed the dogs. Hey, cat. I remember, Lu Zhiqiu likes dogs the most, and every time he hugs them, he is reluctant to let go."
"I like dogs, too," I said.
The old lady smiled and continued: "Later, a dog got sick, and Lu Zhiqiu took care of it day and night. But that dog was already the same age as me, an old dog, and finally died of illness. That Lu Zhiqiu was crying. Her eyes were swollen from crying, and she said she just couldn't see life and death."
During the conversation, the old grandma was already in tears: "But good people are short-lived, and the person who hates life and death dies early. I remember when she was in high school, she could only come back every Sunday, and she had to take time to see Me. Later, I said that I was admitted to a prestigious university, and the village gave me 10,000 yuan. But such a good person, how come he is gone.”
After listening to Mrs. Huang's words, I also felt a lot of emotion, and I didn't know what to say for a long time. When Lu Zhiqiu’s instructor talked about Lu Zhiqiu to us, he was similar to Mrs. Huang. They all said that Lu Zhiqiu was kind-hearted, good at studying, and pretty.
Zhao Mingkun also sighed a little, and said for a while, "Then how is the relationship between Lu Zhiqiu and Lu Xiangyang?"
The old lady Huang said: "During the summer vacation, Lu Zhiqiu often took his younger brother out to play. The age gap between the two of them is also relatively large. It must be Lu Zhiqiu who took care of his younger brother. After entering university, Lu Zhiqiu took care of his younger brother every month. I send money home, and when I come back, I also buy new clothes and toys for my younger brother.”
Speaking of this, the old lady began to wipe her tears again: "Sometimes, she also buys me some food. But every time I come back to see, Lu Zhiqiu is wearing a piece of clothing, which seems to have been worn for a long time. Tell me, she is willing to give it to my brother." Buying things, even willing to buy things for me, why can’t you be willing to add a piece of clothes for yourself?”
"Later." Mrs. Huang continued: "I heard that Lu Zhiqiu died. I don't know how he died. Anyway, Lu Fengwei took a large group of relatives to the city, and came back in a car. I I heard from some villagers who knew that they went there asking for money. But when they asked for the money back, they didn’t even bring back Lu Zhiqiu’s body.”
"What a crime!" Mrs. Huang sighed for a long time: "I didn't even see Lu Zhiqiu in the end. But I saw Lu Xiangyang crying and said that he wanted his sister to come back, and asked her to take him out to play. But At that time, Lu Xiangyang was only about ten years old, I don't know what happened, but I can see that he quite likes his sister."
Mrs. Huang drank the rice soup in her bowl, and said after a while: "Now counting, Lu Zhiqiu has been dead for seven or eight years. Lu Fengwei bought a house and a car for his son in Dongxing City. He That son also goes to school in the city, and I haven't spoken to him seriously for several years, he's not like her sister."
It seems that, unlike his family members, Lu Xiangyang has a good relationship with his elder sister, and Lu Zhiqiu also loves his younger brother very much. Did the younger brother know some truths about Lu Zhiqiu's death that year, so he started to take revenge and kill people? However, can a high school student kill in such a strange way without leaving any traces on the scene
This is yet to be investigated.
After a pause, Mrs. Huang asked us: "I heard that Lu Xiangyang has been lost recently. Are you here to ask about this?"
I nodded and added, "I'm also asking about Lu Zhiqiu seven years ago. There was something strange about Lu Zhiqiu's death at that time. We have to find out."
"Yes!" Mrs. Huang stood up excitedly: "I have to find out, I heard that Lu Zhiqiu died for no reason at that time. When a person dies, if there is no reason for the death, then the person cannot be reincarnated, you know. People have to be reassured when they are dead. You must check it out.”
"Don't worry, grandma." I said, "We will definitely find out."
"By the way!" I asked, "Grandma, I heard that Lu Xiangyang went to find one of their classmates named Wang Ang? Do you know anything about this matter?"
The old woman shook her head and said, "I don't know about this, but I know that they are all senior three students of Dongxing No. 1 Middle School. If you want to find Wang Ang, go to the school and ask. I really don't know about this."
I looked at Zhao Mingkun, then at Mrs. Huang, and said, "Okay, let's go first. We will investigate Lu Zhiqiu's matter thoroughly. When we finally have the answer, we will definitely come back and tell you."
"That's great!" Mrs. Huang held my hand tightly: "There are still many kind people in the world. I don't have any wishes in this life. In this life, I just want to know this thing..."
