Bai Zhining looked at the old man's house, she felt a little strange, why Zhang Yifei didn't come to visit him after learning about the old man's existence, and there was no smell of outsiders in the house.

"Grandpa, why do you live here alone? Don't you have any family?" Bai Zhining asked the grandfather again.

When the old man heard this question, the expression on his face changed a little. The old man's eyes were filled with tears again, and his weather-beaten eyes looked even cloudier.

Bai Zhining didn't understand why the old man reacted like this.

So she asked the old man again: "Grandpa, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything malicious, I'm just worried that no one will take care of you when you get old, it doesn't matter if you don't want to say it."

Bai Zhining looked at the old man helplessly, she found it really difficult to get some news from the old man.

Even so, Bai Zhining did not give up easily: "Grandpa, is it because your sons and grandchildren are unwilling to take care of you, tell me, I can let them come back to see you more often."

The old man shook his head and didn't speak, as if he was also wary of Bai Zhining.

He asked Bai Zhining what her job was, and Bai Zhining still used the same reason as when she came with Xiao Guan last time, and came to visit her grandfather on the grounds of caring for the left-behind elderly.

The old man felt that Bai Zhining's motives were not that simple, and he no longer had the enthusiasm for Bai Zhining.

Bai Zhining was annoyed in her heart, she shouldn't be so eager, so she thought that she should find another way to solve this problem.

If you directly reveal your identity, you don't know what will happen to the old man, but Bai Zhining decided to give it a try, and there is no other better way now.

"Grandpa, in fact, I lied to you just now. I came here for your grandson. Do you know your grandson Zhang Yifei?"

Bai Zhining decided to tell the old man what happened, maybe the old man is willing to tell her something that everyone doesn't know.

But Bai Zhining was disappointed, the grandfather shook his head, saying that he didn't know Zhang Yifei.

Bai Zhining guessed, could "Zhang Yifei" be just a stage name?
Bai Zhining saw that the old man's face no longer had the smile he had when he came in, and he was unwilling to answer the old man's questions, so he got up and bid farewell to the old man.

The old man just said "walk slowly" coldly, then turned and went back to the room.

Bai Zhining's uninvited guest made the old man's mood very bad. He seemed to recall the things that happened a long time ago, the past that made him uneasy day and night, and the nightmare that haunted him.

When Bai Zhining was at the entrance of the village, she met an old lady with white hair, but a kind face, giving people a feeling of wanting to be close, and the old lady had a natural smile on her face.

Bai Zhining approached the old grandma, and asked the old grandma kindly: "Grandma, I want to ask you something, is that okay?"

Seeing that Bai Zhining didn't look like a bad person, the old lady nodded and said, "Yes, little girl, if you have anything to ask, just ask."

Although the old lady is old, her voice is very loud, not like the voice of an old man at all.

"Do you know that Grandpa Zhang at the end of the alley? Does he have no relatives? Why didn't anyone come to take care of him? It's very pitiful for an old man to be in the house."

Bai Zhining didn't want the old lady to think that she had a purpose, so she said a lot to the old lady.

The old woman looked at the alley and said, "He, he was not from our village before, but he moved here later. I don't remember the exact time. I remember that the day he came was just under the rain. He was wet all over because of the heavy rain. At first, the villagers thought he was a homeless man, but no one cared about him.

Later, I saw him wandering around the village for several days. It was so pitiful. Some people gave him the leftovers from home. He never told anyone about it, so he lived like a fan in the small house at the entrance of the alley.

Unexpectedly, after living here for so many years, I am too old to walk. "

The old grandma said while recalling that in the eyes of the old man, time is like a wall clock in his hand. Somehow, the hour hand was set forward, and a lot of time was taken away.

"Then no one came to see him when he lived here?" Bai Zhining asked.

The old grandma thought for a while, then shook her head and said: "In my impression, no one has come to see him, maybe someone has, but I don't know and it's okay.

This grandpa Zhang is pitiful. He is still alone at this age. Fortunately, my son and women will come back to visit me every month to buy some things. Little girl, let me tell you, my grandson is also handsome. It's just that the boss is not young and doesn't have a girlfriend yet, I think you and my grandson are a good match..."

The old grandma's topic has shifted from Grandpa Zhang to her own family. When she talks about her son and grandson, she looks proud and joyful.Bai Zhining smiled awkwardly at the old grandma's proposal to be a matchmaker for her, and said that she had a boyfriend.

The old lady still held Bai Zhining's hand and talked about her family's troubles. Probably the left-behind old people are most afraid of loneliness. Once someone talks to them, they are very happy, and they can talk about the things that happened decades ago as if they happened yesterday.

Bai Zhining saw that it was getting late, and she hadn't gained any particularly important information from here, so she bid farewell to the grandmother and prepared to go back.

In this kind of weather, the temperature difference between day and night is huge, it was fine when we came here, now it's evening, the wind is blowing, and the wind is blowing the dust on the side of the road flying everywhere, Bai Zhining tightened her coat, feeling more and more cold.

When Bai Zhining came here, she took a taxi, but now she is in a predicament, the place is deserted except for a small village, and there is no car to go out at all.

Bai Zhining walked for a while, hoping to try her luck on the road, maybe a good person happened to drive out and could catch a ride, as long as she got to the road, Bai Zhining would not worry about not being able to go back.

The sky is getting darker. It seems like winter is coming. It’s already getting dark at six o’clock in the afternoon. Autumn in this city seems to be very short. It's time to put on a heavy coat to survive the cold winter.

Bai Zhining gradually felt scared. She looked back and saw that the old man's village was like a ghost village in a story. There was no shop in front of the village, only sporadic lights were exposed. After all, Bai Zhining was a girl, and she kept reviewing The plot in the ghost story seems to be the same as what I just imagined.

Bai Zhining stopped being brave, she made a big phone call to Xia Jingqiao, at this time she really needed someone to take her away from this place, it was too scary, Bai Zhining's cell phone gave off a faint light.

Xia Jingqiao's phone was thrown on the table, and he went to the bathroom. Seeing the words "Bai Zhining" jumping on the phone, Xing Muliu pressed the phone off. She didn't know why she did this, but Xing Muliu wanted to Let yourself feel at ease, comfort yourself that it is to let Xia Jingqiao work with peace of mind and not be disturbed by Bai Zhining, in fact she is a little jealous.

Bai Zhining called Xia Jingqiao twice in a row but no one answered. She thought Xia Jingqiao must be very busy, otherwise she would not have refused to answer her call, so she called Zhan Yu again. Zhan Yu's side was very lively. There was constant singing and laughing beside, Zhan Yu drunkenly asked Bai Zhining.

"Bai Zhining, what's the matter?" When Bai Zhining heard the voice, Zhan Yu probably couldn't figure out the north, south, east, south, and north, so how could he drive to pick her up?
Bai Zhining had no choice but to say to Zhan Yu: "It's nothing, just call and ask. Since you are busy, go ahead and remember to drink less."

"Hey, Zhining, let me tell you, I'm drinking with a client right now, and if I coax this client well, he will put the funds in our company for financial management, and my performance this month will also meet the target. Think about it It's really good too..."

Zhan Yu drank too much and chattered endlessly, Bai Zhining thought that he was about to run out of battery and had to send rescuers, so he hurriedly hung up the phone.

Flipping through the phone book in the phone, I found two more acquaintances. Either they didn't have time or they had something to do. Bai Zhining couldn't find a suitable person to pick her up.

Seeing that the sky was completely dark, and she could only use the faint light of the mobile phone to embolden herself, it was neither going back nor leaving now.

Bai Zhining's gaze stayed on the name "Chu Yang". If it wasn't because she was desperate, Bai Zhining would never want to disturb Chu Yang's life.

Because she has clearly rejected Chu Yang, and Chu Yang seems to have returned to his original life, appearing less and less in Bai Zhining's life, so the two should never see each other again, and go their separate ways. and small wooden bridges.

But Bai Zhining really can't think of anyone, besides, the phone is about to run out of battery, Bai Zhining can't hesitate any longer, when she thinks that after the phone runs out of power, she will be alone in the dark and face the unknown fears and dangers In the desire, Bai Zhining felt that she could not care about face and other things.

She called Chu Yang out of luck, hoping that Chu Yang could help her get out of here at this critical moment.

Chu Yang was in a meeting, but he saw that the incoming call on his mobile phone was from Bai Zhining. He was very pleasantly surprised and surprised. Bai Zhining had never called him before, so it was impossible for Chu Yang to miss Bai Zhining's call, so he interrupted the meeting , go outside.

"Hey, Zhining, why did you think of calling me today?" Chu Yang was very happy, as Bai Zhining could always easily control his mood.
