The man who accidentally bumped into him just now ran fast, as if something terrible was chasing him behind him, he turned into a corner after a while, and disappeared.

Shen Xueyao frowned with some doubts and bewilderment, but she didn't think much about it.

Maybe she had an illusion, Shen Xueyao thought so, smiled and continued to walk forward.

At this moment, at the corner, the man who had fled before hid behind the wall panting heavily, his ugly face full of scars seemed to be twitching, and his eyes were full of deep fear.

He couldn't help but said to himself: "Xueyao, why did she come here? Could it be that Qi Hao discovered something?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little bit of fear and strong resentment, and couldn't help but raised his hand to touch his already battered face.

He was Zhou Pengfei who seemed to have evaporated after fleeing.The warehouse in the western suburbs was exposed that day, and when the place was surrounded by police cars, he happened to have a panoramic view of the scene not far away.

I couldn't help but secretly wiped away my sweat. Fortunately, he came back a step late, otherwise he, Qi Feng and Su Yu would have the same fate.Knowing that Qi Hao would not let him go if he didn't find him, Zhou Pengfei once again entered the life of hiding in Tibet like a mouse crossing the street.He avoided Qi Hao's eyeliner, used the remaining money to fill his stomach, lived in fear every day, and didn't even dare to stay in the same place for two nights.

All the checkpoints were guarded by Qi Hao's people, he couldn't escape, he could only be trapped in this city, fleeing in fear all day long.

But one day, when he was sleeping under a machine in a factory, the factory happened to catch fire that night, and when he woke up, he was trapped in the fire, surrounded by raging fire and billowing black smoke , He was almost out of his wits in horror.

There were more and more people outside the door, and he didn't even dare to call for help, he just gritted his teeth and jumped out of the window from the fire. A series of flames burned on his body, spread to his hair, and even burned his face.

He screamed and rolled on the ground, and passed out from the pain. After all, his face was still badly damaged, which made him almost go crazy in pain.

However, the fire disfigured him into this appearance, and there was an advantage—Qi Hao's eyeliner could no longer recognize him.

Everyone avoided him as if they were avoiding the plague. He fled back to his hometown and hid in this small village until now.

Although Zhou Pengfei had fear in his heart, when he stretched out his head and saw Shen Xueyao's slowly leaving back, he couldn't help but move in his heart, and finally followed with some hesitation.

Holding Li Xiyue's photo in Shen Xueyao's hand, she walked all the way inside. Not far away was a long bridge with a large lake underneath. Standing quietly one after another tombstone.

This village is really strange, how could the cemetery be built in this place?Shen Xueyao couldn't help thinking this way, but she still walked slowly and came to the side of the cemetery.

Basically, they are old graves, and after a long period of weathering, the surface of the stele is covered with hideous cracks.Shen Xueyao walked in with some curiosity. There was only a small path that had been stepped on the ground, surrounded by wild flowers and weeds, as if trying to entangle the footsteps of those who came.

Not far away is a small bungalow, probably the place where the tomb keeper lived.

Shen Xueyao's footsteps stopped here, and she was about to go out, but her eyes were suddenly attracted by a new tomb. The clean white body of the stele was incompatible with everything around it, obviously it had just been erected not long ago.

The most important thing is that, with just a glance, Shen Xueyao saw a name that made her blood freeze - Zhou Pengfei.

Zhou Pengfei's tomb?Is he dead?For a moment, Shen Xueyao seemed to be nailed in place, she was dazed and did not dare to go forward, she didn't know how she felt in her heart.

Although Qi Hao turned all his manpower to search for Zhou Pengfei's whereabouts after capturing Qi Feng and Su Yu, Zhou Pengfei completely disappeared as if he had evaporated from the world. Even if he turned the whole city over, he couldn't find him. whereabouts.

In desperation, Qi Hao had no choice but to let it go.

Under such circumstances, Shen Xueyao had almost decided in her heart that something had happened to Zhou Pengfei.It's just that at the moment when she saw his tombstone, Shen Xueyao still felt unbelievable in her heart. Although she thought so in her heart, seeing such a scene with her own eyes was completely different.

But why is Zhou Pengfei's tombstone set here?And who set it up for him?Shen Xueyao couldn't help but walked to the tombstone and took a closer look. The words written on the tombstone were - the tomb of my younger brother Zhou Pengfei.

This is the tombstone that Zhou Pengfei's sister set up for him, Shen Xueyao suddenly understood.

But how did Zhou Pengfei's sister know that he had passed away after an accident?Where is she now?Should I go see her?

Also, what is the relationship between Zhou Pengfei's sister and Li Xiyue?Two people with the same name and living in the same village?Or are they the same person at all? !
Many thoughts suddenly popped up in Shen Xueyao's mind, circling back and forth in her mind one by one, as if there was a connection she couldn't find, Shen Xueyao couldn't help feeling nervous.

At this time, the door of the small bungalow not far away was suddenly opened, and an old man with gray hair and hobbled steps walked out, leaning on a cane and slowly moving out.

Shen Xueyao hurried forward and asked, "Old man, was Zhou Pengfei's cemetery set up by his sister Zhou Xiyue?"

Looking closely, Shen Xueyao realized that the tomb keeper's eyes were cloudy beyond recognition. Shen Xueyao doubted whether he could see clearly.

The gravekeeper seemed to be a little deaf, Shen Xueyao said several times with anxiety before he realized, nodded and said: "Yes, yes."

"Where is his sister now? Can you take me to see her?" Shen Xueyao immediately continued to ask.

"Xiyue is no longer in the village. She and Pengfei are poor children. Their parents have passed away a long time ago, and now Pengfei and Xiyue have left long ago." Said in a manner.

Not in the village anymore?Where did that go?Shen Xueyao bit her lip, feeling a little lost and anxious.

She handed out the photo in her hand, put it in front of the old man and asked, "Old man, do you know who is in this photo? Is she Zhou Xiyue?"

The gravekeeper waved his hand: "I'm so old, my eyes can't see clearly for a long time, how can I tell the difference?"

Looking at the old man's cloudy yellow eyes, Shen Xueyao was extremely disappointed.

But at least, she still has one last clue - Zhou Pengfei's primary school.

Zhou Pengfei once told her that his primary school was in the village, and after junior high school, the Zhou family over there sponsored him to study in a nearby county town, and there was only one primary school in this small village.

"Old man, can you tell me which direction the elementary school is going?" Shen Xueyao put away the photos and asked again.

The old man pointed to the other side of the road: "Just walk a few hundred meters, and the village is only this big."

Shen Xueyao bid farewell to the old man and rushed all the way to Zhou Pengfei's elementary school.

Sure enough, there was a school not far away. An electric gate was installed at the door, and a small opening was opened. Several three-story teaching buildings were joined together, which looked very old.

At this time, it seemed that it was class time, when the sound of reading aloud came, Shen Xueyao groped around, and went directly to the principal's office.

A middle-aged man was sitting in the office drinking Tieguanyin. The small personal office smelled like tea. When Shen Xueyao came in, he was stunned for a long time. He pushed his glasses before realizing it, and asked in a puzzled way: "Which child's parent? Why didn't you say hello in advance?"

"I'm sorry, I'm not from the village. I'm here to inquire about something." Shen Xueyao had already thought up her words, and she immediately smiled apologetically and said.

The principal has a good temper, and he didn't get angry because of Shen Xueyao's uninvited visit. He said, "What do you want to inquire about?"

"Excuse me, do you know this person?" Shen Xueyao hesitated for a moment, then handed over the photo in her hand again.

However, the headmaster just took a look and shook his head and said, "Girl, I'm an outside headmaster, and I'm not very familiar with the people in the village. If you want to inquire about someone, you're looking for the wrong person."

"Then I would like to ask, are the student files from 13 years ago still kept?"

"13 years ago?" The headmaster seemed to be taken aback, and repeated, his eyebrows furrowed uncontrollably.

"Yes, I want to see the files of the students in this elementary school 13 years ago, or the photos of the students in that graduating class. I want to find someone." Shen Xueyao's tone was pleading. and anxiety.

She finally came here and inquired for a long time, she didn't want to just go back, she had to find clues about Li Xiyue or Zhou Pengfei, otherwise she was really unwilling.

"Theoretically speaking, these things should not be shown to outsiders at will." Looking at Shen Xueyao's appearance, the principal couldn't help but frowned, and said with some embarrassment.

"Principal, you must have been in this village for a while, have you heard of the young master of the Zhou family?" Shen Xueyao asked suddenly.

"Master Zhou? You mean Zhou Pengfei?" The headmaster was taken aback for a moment, but immediately realized.

Only then did Shen Xueyao breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that everyone in this village really knew Zhou Pengfei.

"Well, I'm from the Zhou family. Now Zhou Pengfei's whereabouts are unknown, and our entire Zhou family is inquiring about him. The purpose of my coming here this time is also the same, so please cooperate with me, principal."

"If you go deeper into the reasons, it's our Zhou family's secret, and it's inconvenient to reveal it to you here. I won't reveal anyone's information, and our Zhou family has no interest in it." Shen Xueyao's tone suddenly became serious When he got up, what he said seemed to be true.

The headmaster's face suddenly fell into deep thought. Naturally, he didn't want to go into the troubled waters of these families. He knew that Zhou Pengfei had a complicated identity and was an illegitimate child. files only.

"Come with me." The principal thought for a while, took out a bunch of keys from the drawer, and said to Shen Xueyao.

Shen Xueyao was overjoyed immediately, and hurriedly followed.

The principal led Shen Xueyao out of the office, and walked all the way through the small soot playground to an old building.

The moment the door opened, dust so thick that it choked the nose rushed towards her face, and Shen Xueyao hurriedly waved her hand to fan the air in front of her nose.

"This is the school's library." The principal said as he turned on the switch in the dark, and the incandescent lights in the library suddenly lit up, which was a bit dazzling.

"This row is full of files and photos of students who have graduated, but due to neglect of management, the labels on them have worn out, and even the paper is yellow and brittle. I don't know if you can If you find it, there is only so much I can help you with." The principal said helplessly.
