Fast time travel: Veteran Green Tea is showing off his acting skills again

353 Chapter 17
The director looked at Xia Ling strangely.

"who are you?"

Xia Ling was stunned and briefly speechless, unable to figure out why this reason would be suspected.

When I was in school, I also subsidized poor children with 500 yuan a year.

Obviously very reasonable.

The director sat on the chair and opened Qiu Xue's file.

Looking at the photo of the girl above, she slightly raised her glasses, "Qiu Xue's family is very poor, so poor that she usually has no money to eat, and can only eat steamed buns. With such conditions, there is no way to help others."

Qiu Xue's family lives in the surrounding villages.

The family also makes a living by farming, and both parents are honest and responsible.

When the director rummaged through the files, he sighed one after another.

He was Qiu Xue's class teacher five years ago.

I still remember the scene when his parents came to send her to school.

Qiu Xue is the only daughter in the family, and she was born in the middle age of the old couple.

It is the treasure of the family and the hope of the whole family.

Country people have little money.

He still remembered that on the first day of school, the old couple sent Qiu Xue to school with a sack of sweet potatoes.

The old man was wearing a hat, his face was dark and wrinkled, and he was dark and thin. He lowered his head and stared at the pair of rubber shoes on his feet, feeling a little embarrassed.

The short old lady held his hand with her hands that had accumulated dirt all the year round and couldn't be washed clean. She had a bright red face and a bright smile.

She said that rural people have nothing to give away, so they can only bring more sweet potatoes from home to the teacher as gifts, hoping that the teacher can cultivate Qiu Xue well and give more attention to her.

School regulations do not allow gifts.

But he still ordered the sack of sweet potatoes, not as a gift, but to protect their self-esteem.

The director sat with his back to the window, and the light from behind shrouded his body. In the bright light, his eyes seemed to be red.

Xia Ling didn't expect Qiu Xue's family situation to be like this.

"Actually, I'm from another country. I have a sister who has a common acquaintance with Qiu Xue. She committed suicide by jumping off a building a while ago. I think her death is strange. So I want to investigate and see if I can find some clues .”

As soon as these words came out, the expression on the director's face froze instantly.

He looked up at Xia Ling, and asked tentatively, "You said, they have someone they know in common? Is that person also my former student?"

Xia Ling heard the sound impressively.

Did he...doubt Yan Xingchen too?
"Here, this is the address of Qiu Xue's home." Before Xia Ling could respond, the director hurriedly copied the address from the file with a pen.

Xia Ling took the address, thanked her, and prepared to leave.

"Little girl." The director called to Xia Ling and hurriedly walked out of the table. "If you find out anything, you must return Qiu Xue's innocence. Unfortunately, I don't have that much courage, but I know Qiu Xue is a good person." child."

Xia Ling didn't understand the meaning of the director's words.

But it must have something to do with Qiu Xue's death.

She nodded, "I'll do my best."

When they arrived at Qiu Xue's village, the sun was almost setting.

The sunset reddened the sky, and the land seemed to hide gold, with stars shining from time to time.

Xia Ling crossed the field and walked almost around the village before finally finding the remote Qiu Xue's home.

The home is an earthen house, which is almost rare nowadays, with straw on the roof.

There were a few scattered chickens wandering around in the yard, and the dog tied at the gate rushed out of the yard as soon as it saw Xia Ling, a stranger.

Hearing the barking of the dog, a hunchbacked old lady came out of the house, with a headscarf tied on her head, and her clothes were dusty as if covered with a layer of dirt.

"Who is it?" the old lady yelled as she walked towards the door, with an accent that Xia Ling couldn't quite hear.

"Hi, I'm Qiu Xue's friend. I just came back from abroad and came to see you and uncle." Xia Ling waved the fruit and milk at the old lady with a smile on her face.

As soon as she heard that it was Qiu Xue's friend, the old lady walked towards the door even faster, ran straight to Xia Ling, stretched out her hand to hold Xia Ling's hand, and looked left and right.

"Fast forward, fast forward!" She stretched out her hand to hold Xia Ling's hand, and took another look at her dark hand, as well as the dirt under the nails. She let go of her hand as if she had been burned, shyly Smiling at Xia Ling, he waved his hand towards the room.

Xia Ling gently took the aunt's hand from the side, and looked at the piles of wrinkles on her hand, "For life, the wind and the sun. Compared with you, my hands that only know how to reach out to my parents should be Excuse me."

"What a good boy." Qiu Xue's mother pursed her lips, "As sensible as my Xiaoxue."

When Qiu Xue was mentioned, her eyes turned red again.

The furnishings in the house are very simple, and the corners are full of cardboard boxes and bottles, which should all be picked up outside.

The old lady poured Xia Ling a glass of water.

Visible to the naked eye, there are greasy stains hanging on the cup.

Xia Ling looked up at the old lady who was sitting in a restrained posture, "Auntie. I didn't take the college entrance examination here and went abroad directly. Then I heard the news of Qiu Xue's death. I wanted to know...why something happened to her. I Can’t believe she’s leaving.”

Mentioning this, the old lady's tears seemed to be unstoppable.

She raised her hand and wiped her tears clumsily, "Hey. Xiaoxue is a very good child, she knows how to be considerate of us, and she usually works hard in her studies. But she fell in love at school, met a nondescript person, and then she got pregnant and secretly had an abortion. Her father knew and beat her up, and then she jumped into the river."

Nondescript?

Xia Ling felt strange, "How could she be with someone who is neither fish nor fowl? Who is that person?"

"It's just... Gao Wen's name. He's that kind of bastard. He lives in the city and has nothing to do. I don't know how I met Xiaoxue..."

This answer is different from Xia Ling's imagination.

"Do you know Yan Xingchen?" Xia Ling asked.

The old lady frowned and shook her head, a little confused, "I've never heard of this name before."

"I think Xiaoxue's death was abnormal. As her friend, I want to find out the real cause of her death. Auntie, if Xiaoxue died unjustly and was killed by someone else. Even if she died, she would have to be stabbed behind her back. The notoriety of the spine, I don't think she will be safe down here."

The old lady cried even harder when she heard this. Xia Ling's words hit her right in the heart.

After so many years, she still dreams about her daughter from time to time.

Xiaoxue in the dream kept saying hate to her.

She wanted to call the police and want the police to investigate again, but the old man refused, saying that it was not embarrassing enough, and he refused to agree.

The old lady got up and took Xia Ling to her room, "Xiaoxue has a notebook with a lot of words written in it. But I can't read, and I don't know what was written. When the police came to look for it at home, her father took Xiaoxue's handwriting Everything is locked up."

"Why?" Xia Ling couldn't understand.

The old lady took off her shoes and climbed onto the kang, sighed with lowered eyebrows, "This matter is disgraceful. Her father doesn't want to cause trouble."
