Three or Two Things about Rebirth

When Ma Zhenyi said this, he leaned his head forward slightly, his eyes focused, and he said "special" three times in a row, emphasizing the word, as if only in this way could he gain people's trust.

"You really scared me." Qiu Luming suddenly felt that his smile was a bit pitiful, but he didn't want to see this person again, so he urged, "It's okay, go home quickly!" - Never come again!

Ma Zhenyi looked at Qiu Luming deeply, took the ID card from Uncle Li, turned around and left the reading room.

The door of the library slammed shut. Qiu Luming breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Uncle Li. Uncle Li smiled and raised his chin to Qiu Luming, "Let's eat!"

The food had gone cold. Even though Qiu Luming put the lunch box on the heater to warm it up for a while, the beef and potatoes no longer had the delicious taste they had at the first bite.

The look Ma Zhenyi gave before he left made Qiu Luming very nervous. She had a feeling that this man would come back again, so she told her family about it after get off work that day. When He Manshu heard the name Ma Zhenyi, she was obviously shocked. When she asked her what was wrong, she just said, "It happens from time to time to mistake someone for someone else. Don't be nervous. If you are scared, just let your second brother pick you up from get off work."

That night, after class, Qiu Luming walked into the second door and vaguely heard his father say, "Okay, don't tell her yet, don't scare her."

"She will know sooner or later. The sooner she knows, the sooner she'll be alert!"

"Then don't talk about it tonight. Now that you're back, don't talk about it!"

Qiu Luming knew that what they were talking about must be related to him. He thought that his mother must know or be acquainted with Ma Zhenyi.

But they had agreed not to tell anyone, so she didn't ask. She just said hello to her parents and went back to her bedroom.

The second brother is now sending Fang Yuan back to the border defense brigade. The two meet almost every day, and they have endless whispers to talk about every day. Their eyes are often stuck together and can't be separated.

Qiu Luming complained to his mother, and his mother sighed and said, your second brother is old enough to get married and have children, and his classmates' children are already old enough to help with the cooking.

Well, that's age.

A person's duty is to do what he should do at his age.

The second brother's curfew was 10:30, but today he came back just after 10 o'clock. As soon as he entered the door, he frowned and asked He Manshu, "Mom, you must know about this! My dad knows too!"

He Manshu realized that she couldn't hide it any longer, so she said with a click of the tongue, "I was planning to tell you tomorrow morning."

Qiu Jiashu hurriedly took off his coat and threw it to Qiu Luming. "I went to the local police station to ask, but as soon as I mentioned the name, I didn't even need to ask the local police officer. The deputy director on duty told me that Ma Zhenyi was a prisoner who had just been released! Oh, and he also said that he was a student of your No. 1 Middle School!"

He Manshu nodded, looked at Qiu Luming and said, "It's hard to explain in a few words. Let's talk about it tomorrow morning. It's already ten o'clock. I have nothing to do after retirement, but you all have to go to work!"

Qiu Luming had a lot of questions in his mind. After lying down, he deliberately eavesdropped for a while. In the end, he didn't hear his parents talking anymore and fell asleep in a daze.

The next day, breakfast was twenty minutes earlier than usual. Qiu Luming drank half a bowl of porridge and said to He Manshu, who had been silent the whole time, "Mom, are you going to say it or not?"

"Eat the eggs."

"already eaten."

"I've finished eating." He Manshu cleared her throat and put down her chopsticks. "This is about a girl's reputation. We promised her parents to keep it a secret. Now, for Yoyo, I have to break my promise and tell you about it."

Qiu Luming felt that things would not be simple last night, and now that he saw his mother was talking about reputation and promises, he became even more nervous.

"Eight years ago, we had the highest number of murders in the province. Although Jiayang is a remote area, there were constant incidents of arson and fighting. In the autumn of that year, a 16-year-old boy killed a 22-year-old robber. Later, a lot of cash and items were found in his home, proving that he was a habitual robber and thief. The boy also helped the public security organs solve a case, but he stabbed the man three times, all in vital areas, and was sentenced to ten years in prison for excessive self-defense."

"ten years?"

"Yes, he was just over sixteen at that time, and the crackdown was still severe."

"Oh."

"That boy was my student Ma Zhenyi. He was a good student with excellent academic performance. If it weren't for this incident, he could at least be admitted to a junior college." He Manshu considered her words and said, "That was the most troublesome class of students I taught. Before Ma Zhenyi killed someone, there was also a girl named Su Xiaoyun who died."

Qiu Luming immediately caught the subtle details, "Did the robber rob Su Xiaoyun?"

"Yes. Su Xiaoyun lives in the west of the county town. One time when she was returning home late, she was robbed. The only two dollars she had was stolen and she was also insulted."

Qiu Luming took a breath and covered his mouth, "So, so she committed suicide?"

He Manshu nodded and said, "She drank two bottles of pesticides and died in great pain. Her parents didn't find out in time and didn't send her to the hospital right away. By the time they sent her to the hospital, it was already too late.

I also rushed to the hospital at that time and asked about it. Her parents hesitated and said it was an accidental ingestion. However, your father saw the scars on Su Xiaoyun's body and wanted to call the police on the spot. Her father pulled your father and me aside, knelt down crying, and whispered to your father not to tell anyone. He said he didn't want people to talk about his daughter's death. We had no choice but to agree to their request. Later, some people talked about it, saying that a middle school student was not illiterate, so how could she not even recognize pesticides? There were also rumors that she was angry with her mother and drank pesticides, and some said she drank pesticides because of a broken heart.

Back then, Su Xiaoyun and Ma Zhenyi did fall in love early, but I forcefully suppressed it. If they were in love right after entering their first year of high school, how would their grades be in their third year?

They were quite obedient. Once I explained the reasons to them, they all promised me that they would study hard first, pass the exams, or start dating after graduation or starting working.

Alas, Ma Zhenyi was only sixteen years old when the accident happened. The robber was much taller and stronger than him. I couldn’t tell whether he killed someone intentionally or accidentally. No one could even be sure whether the robber was the one who hurt Su Xiaoyun. After all, Su Xiaoyun didn’t leave any last words, and the robber died on the spot. ”

Ordinary people have a natural fear of murderers, and Qiu Luming is no exception. Whenever she thinks of Ma Zhenyi staring at her, she can't help but shiver.

"Mom, why are you so nervous? Don't scare Yoyo. He is not a murderer. He behaved well during labor reform and his sentence was reduced." Qiu Jiashu said.

Qiu Luming suddenly felt that his mother must have something else to say, but she just didn't want to say it.

“Mom, do I really look like Amelia Su?”

He Manshu squinted at her daughter and shook her head. "If you must say they look alike, it's just that your eyes are a little similar. How could he mistake you for Su Xiaoyun? That child is introverted and timid."

Qiu Luming adjusted his mood and said, "If he thinks I look like Su Xiaoyun, then he won't hurt me, so don't be nervous. Second brother, have you finished eating? Let's go to work!"

He Manshu stood up and said, "Silly child, I'm not afraid that he would hurt you, I'm afraid that he would pester you! Eight years have passed, who knows what kind of people he met in the labor camp, and whether he learned bad things from them? Just look at the fact that he shouted at you as soon as he saw you, it's obvious that he hasn't forgotten Su Xiaoyun, and he's still stuck in a dead end. If he is stubborn and regards you as Su Xiaoyun, then your life will be in chaos!

In any case, it is better to stay away from such extreme people. Remember, Yoyo, you promised your mother not to sympathize with him and not to talk to him! "

"Heh, he's your student."

"But you are my biological daughter!" He Mansu shouted.

"Okay, okay, don't get excited, don't get excited, I promise you, I promise!"
