Little Peach Blossom

The phone rang.

Tao Xingyu quickly picked it up and gave a hello.

The other party was silent, and said in a low voice: "Ninny, you can put some money on my card, 5 yuan is enough, so that I can go to the doctor. Otherwise, your mother will die, so hurry up and go to the funeral."

"..."

Tao Xingyu's expression suddenly changed.

"Where's Lijuan?"

As soon as she asked, the friendly voice on the other end of the phone disappeared immediately, and her tone became rough: "You know how to let this bitch stare at me all day long, I'm your own mother! I think you're a fool, that bitch You can smell it even if you fart..."

"..."

Tao Xingyu quietly listened to cursing for half a minute, then hung up the phone.

Standing in front of the phone, I don't know what it feels like in my heart. The emptiness is probably more of the numbness I'm used to.A hostility slowly rose in my heart, hating her for being ignorant of good and bad, and reverting to her old ways just after a while.

Last time I said my sister couldn't get enough to eat.

This time, he used his illness to ask her for money again.

"what happened?"

Su Qianqing had just adjusted the TV volume to the quietest level, when she heard that she didn't say anything, she hung up the phone.

Keenly sensed that she was not in the right mood.

Tao Xingyu stood in front of the phone, the sunlight from the balcony behind her came over, and her graceful and tall silhouette was outlined in the gorgeous darkness.From Su Qianqing's perspective, she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly.

There was a moment of silence.

She lowered her head, seemed to smile and sighed, "Some things are really too difficult. Zaizai is so smart, help my sister analyze it?"

Seeing her tired smile, Su Qianqing pursed her lips slightly.

She stood up, suddenly opened her arms to embrace her, raised her other hand, patted her back very gently, and said softly, "Okay, I'm listening."

Tao Xingyu was silent for a while.

He lowered his head, resting his forehead on her shoulder, feeling her soft body, and could smell the subtle fragrance from the tip of his nose, and his mania gradually disappeared.She closed her eyes and raised the corners of her lips slightly, as if there was nothing wrong with being comforted like a child.

Su Qianqing waited for a long time.

She thought Tao Xingyu didn't want to talk anymore, but when she was thinking about how to change the subject, she finally spoke.

"My mother..."

"My sister was just born, and my mother was infected with gambling addiction by my stepfather. I was studying in the town, and once I came home, I saw my sister was tied to a post by my mother with hemp rope, and two steamed buns and a spittoon were placed on the ground. Cylinder. Worse than a dog."

Tao Xingyu's breath was slightly unsteady, he paused, and stared down at the fluff of the carpet.

Continue to say plainly:

"Later, I dropped out of school and ran away. After I was able to support myself, I secretly went home to see it once. My stepfather was arrested for committing a crime. My sister was terribly thin and kept looking at me without turning her eyes. When she was a child, she was thrown and injured. Head, can't even speak. Mom is still playing cards with people."

Su Qianqing breathed lightly and listened silently.

"I really couldn't pretend I couldn't see it, so I had to ask my cousin who lives nearby to pay her 500 yuan a month, asking her to help take care of my sister and cook for my mother along the way."

At that time, Tao Xingyu had to work two jobs and slept in the cheapest basement.

500 yuan a month that I got out of between my teeth.

Just like that, her mother kept calling and scolding: If you earn money, give it to that stinky bitch and not your mother, it's a cursed thing.

Later, she changed her mobile phone number and stopped answering her mother's calls. She only asked the eldest sister to call her landline every other week to report the situation at home.

"It was nothing at first. I have been getting used to not having this mother for a long time. But half a year ago, I went back to see her and found that she had given up her gambling addiction. Sitting under the big locust tree in the yard, holding my sister to read. I I thought she really got better..."

As a result, it was still the same.

Curse her, curse Tao Lijuan, the niece who took care of her.

Ask her for money, money, money for various reasons.Where else could she spend her money besides the gaming table?

—

The next day.

Su Qianqing fell into a drowsy sleep, and was awakened by the phone ringing, so she stepped on her slippers and went to the living room to answer it.

Haven't had time to feed yet.

"Tao Xingyu, come back and see mom!"

"..."

She was stunned for a moment, her drowsiness disappeared, and she hurriedly said cautiously: "Hello, Tao Xingyu is not at home."

"Who are you?" The tone was a little alert.

"I am her friend."

"I am Tao Xingyu's mother, please tell her to go home quickly."

The tone became mild, even polite.

It was completely different from what she had imagined.

Su Qianqing was a little confused and couldn't believe it, "You are really Tao Xingyu's mother? You also called yesterday, right?"

"Well, I told her not to give the money to Tao Lijuan, that bitch will kill me. Who knows she doesn't believe me... It doesn't matter, my illness can't be cured, I know I'm going to die. Let me Girl come back to see me, the last time..."

After talking for a long time, it was obvious that something was wrong.

Mother Tao's chest seems to be hiding something, her breathing is accompanied by the sound of pulling the bellows, making a hissing sound, becoming heavier and hoarse.

When the curse words came out, she felt that she should be Tao Xingyu's mother.

Su Qianqing wanted to ask clearly.

"You..." There was a chaotic rubbing sound and indistinguishable dialect, and the phone hung up with a "bang".

"Beep beep."

She listened to the blind voice on the other end of the phone.

My heart sank straight, and suddenly, without any reason, I believed that the words were probably true.

Su Qianqing regained her senses and quickly called Tao Xingyu.

Phone off.

You are not allowed to bring your mobile phone to record the three-day variety show, or are you still on the plane?Not sure, she paced around the living room twice and a half, then turned and ran to the bedroom, quickly packing up her things.

Holding a plastic bag containing a change of clothes in her hand, Su Qianqian went downstairs while using the mobile app to book a flight ticket.

My heart is still beating.

After booking the air ticket, I finally calmed down and thought about all the possibilities and plans.

Thankfully, she had an excellent memory from an early age.

Thank goodness, Tao Xingyu only told her the address of his hometown last night.

Anyway, she can go to see the situation first.

—

Tao Xingyu's hometown is a county town.

Su Qianqing was not familiar with the place of life, so before waiting for the plane, he quickly contacted the person who picked him up.

Lu Zhiyao agreed without hesitation, bragging: "You are my sister abroad, but here in my hometown, that is a strong dragon that can't overwhelm a local snake."

During the two-hour flight, she walked out of the airport and looked for his car.

Soon I saw the white Mercedes-Benz with a coquettish license plate.

Lu Zhiyao met Su Qianqing when he exchanged to Singapore in his sophomore year.In the first morning class that day, she was walking on the road when a bicycle hit her head on. She couldn't even dodge a few times and almost fell into the artificial lake next to her.

Cycling is just a stone's throw away.He immediately got out of the car to help her, apologized in various ways, and said that he would treat her to dinner.

Su Qianqing has experienced various strike-ups since she was a child, and nothing is more irritating than this.She patted her clothes and managed to maintain a polite smile, "Since you know you have to go to the right to avoid the lake, you should know how to brake."

Lu Zhiyao followed behind her buttocks, explaining all the way.

While apologizing ramblingly, he also took out his wallet to put money into her hand.

Su Qianqing was terrified of being stalked by him, and almost called the police to arrest him.

Later, when Su Qianqing got to know this person better, he believed that that day was indeed an accident, purely because he was a two hundred and five who was in a daze while riding a bicycle.

—

"Long time no see, sister..."

Lu Zhiyao rolled down the car window, showing a bright smile, smoothed his hair in the wind, and leaned his elbows outside the car window to look handsome.

Su Qianqing lowered his head, adjusted the navigation on his mobile phone, and pulled him down from the cab.

He completely ignored his barking protests.

Speeding all the way to Tao Xingyu's house.

……

The car drove to the end of the road.The ruin-like yellow land is full of pits and pits, and all kinds of construction waste are piled up in an irregular manner. Most of the iron pipes have rusted away.It was empty, not even anyone to ask for directions could be found.

Su Qianqing: "Why is there no way? Where are we going next?"

The navigation started to give directions blindly.

She turned to look at Lu Zhiyao's confused expression, and knew that asking him was a waste of time, so she dialed the police and joked in a nonchalant manner: "Local snake, isn't your family a road builder, I don't know how to ask you the way. "

"Then those who eat eggs can't lay eggs."

After making the phone call, Su Qianqing sighed, turned off the ignition and pulled out the key.

"The next road has to get out of the car."

Lu Zhiyao didn't complain, but nodded disapprovingly, and walked with her in the wet and soft soil that had just rained heavily, thinking that there was not much distance.After being a classmate for a year, he knew that Su Qianqing hated walking the most.

Unexpectedly, after walking for a long time, I still haven't arrived.

He rubbed his head, his legs began to feel sore, and in a blink of an eye he looked at Su Qianqing who was putting on a stiff face but quickened his pace.

He smacked his tongue secretly in his heart.

What kind of relatives make this eldest lady pay so much attention to?

The sky is as dark as the bottom of a pot, mixed with a few wisps of white clouds, and it will rain cats and dogs at any time.

The two of them didn't speak, they both knew they were desperately hurrying.

Finally, another village is revealed.

Before the rain fell, they found a house that was inhabited.

Su Qianqing breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly to Lu Zhiyao: "This is a small place, just ask anyone else, and you should be able to find it soon."

Lu Zhiyao nodded, went up to grab a little boy who was playing games, and used the city dialect to communicate with their village dialect. He managed to understand and inquired clearly.Pointing not far away, his face was full of joy, "Sister, that's the one."

He was so happy that he almost took out his wallet and stuffed money into the boy's hand.

Su Qianqing dragged her away.

—

Tao Xingyu's house wasn't too bad, it was the ordinary farmer's one-story house that Su Qianqing had seen in TV dramas, not much different from the people around him.She knocked on the door, but no one answered, no one opened the door.

The door was not locked.

Without hesitation for half a second, she knocked on the door and went in.Lu Zhiyao followed her closely.

The quiet needle drop could be heard in the room.

Su Qianqing looked around and said, "Excuse me, is this Tao Xingyu's home? I'm her friend..."

She saw a faint rancid smell from the leftovers on the table.White rice was covered with a layer of cabbage, the soup was watery, and nothing else.The tabletop was wiped clean, there were no grains of rice or even traces of eating.

Su Qianqing suddenly felt a sense of disobedience.

Staring at the half-bowl of rice, from far away, I could smell the faint sour smell emanating from the tip of my nose, thinking, could it be Tao Xingyu's nanny... That Tao Lijuan made it for their mother and daughter?

She wanted to convince herself that it was impossible, and at the same time she was very clear-headed.

Most likely it is.

Tao Xingyu paid so much money every month, but the relatives she invited abused her mother and sister behind her back.

Lu Zhiyao suddenly shouted, "There is a ghost!"

Su Qianqing was thinking about something on her mind, when she was taken aback by him, she turned around with a pale face.I saw a little girl crawling out of the table, wearing an overly long suspender dress, with a pointed face, her eyes staring at you motionlessly.

There was no expression on his face, and there was a dull and silly look in his brows and eyes.

"Baby, where's your mother?"

She was sure she was Tao Xingyu's younger sister, and as she asked, she walked into the room and saw a middle-aged woman lying on the bed.His eyes were closed tightly, and his complexion was bluish-gray.

Su Qianqing's heart skipped a beat, and she shouted, "Call an ambulance!"

"Yeah," Lu Zhiyao frantically called.

……

An ambulance was called.

After leaving the emergency room, the hospital in the county asked them to transfer them as soon as possible, but the hospital in the city did not rule by law, so they were advised to transfer them directly to the hospital in the province.

House seemingly endless rain.

After the doctor finished his suggestion of transferring to another hospital, he looked at them apologetically: "The road from our hospital to the city was under construction, but there was a serious car accident in front of it, and it was completely blocked. I can't walk for a while. .”

"..."

"It's none of my business!" Seeing the coldness in her eyes, Lu Zhiyao swallowed and waved his hands again and again, "My dad builds roads, this is the road, the road!"

"Check if you can make a detour."

"No, I can't go to the city or the province. I have to wait for the road to be repaired." After calling and asking, he told Su Qianqing, "This hospital in the wilderness is only accessible by the road to the airport."

"Then go to the airport," Su Qianqing thought for half a second.

Since the hospital here can't cure me, I just go back to Beijing.

"No way," Lu Zhiyao checked for a while, and told her, "The heavy rain has just stopped, and all flights have been delayed or cancelled, and it is estimated that tomorrow will also be suspended. It seems that we can only wait for the road conditions to improve before driving to the hospital in the province. "

"..."

He muttered again, "Also, even if the plane can fly, can she pass the security check in this state?"

"Can't wait."

Su Qianqing looked at the woman lying on the bed with her eyes closed and hung with saline, and felt that there was no longer any delay.

"If you can't pass the security check, we won't."

"But the security check? But even if we buy ten first-class tickets, we still have to..."

Before he finished speaking, he looked at Su Qianqing who was dialing the phone, his eyes lit up, "Oh, a private jet."
