Article 47/Old Qin

The body of the small building is full of years, the mottled building walls are covered with bricks, and the narrow courtyard is full of all kinds of bicycles and electric vehicles. Half of the gate of the courtyard is broken, and it is stuck there.

People here are very good at bargaining, and the three rounds parked at the exit leading to the station look much more dilapidated than those in Zhuangyuan Lane.

Yichen has a question, why the people who live here must be poor, and the people who live in Zhuangyuan Lane must be rich?

If he knew that the cars here were like this, maybe Yichen would not have made a special trip to save that little money, but he himself didn't know why he came here.

When I lived in the "slums" before, under the big tree in front of my house, there were always neighbors gathering together to pick vegetables and chat. They seemed to know everything, and they could chat a few words from all over the world.

Jingui in Zhuangyuan Lane, avoiding each other, this kind of scene is naturally not seen, so what about here?

Same here.

Standing outside the gate of the courtyard, Yichen looked at the people who came and went in silence, and would never say more than one word, as if some secret would be revealed if he opened his mouth.

A man driving a three-wheeler saw him wandering around with his schoolbag on his back for a long time, so he came up to him and asked him if he was going to the station. Yichen subconsciously took two steps back and nodded.

Speaking of which, it seems that it is not far away from Zhuangyuan Lane, and he just walked over here, so there is such a difference in such a short distance.

"Twenty away?" the man asked.

Yichen doesn't know what the price of [-] is here, and it's not the same price if he was hacked to death in Zhuangyuan Lane.

Yichen has never bargained the price, and was thinking about a person coming behind him: "Wouldn't twenty be too expensive?"

Yichen hurriedly turned around, and it really was Yuci, and there were two classmates.

The man saw three more people coming, and said with a smile: "If you have more people, it will be cheaper. My car is the best here. Look at their cars, they are all so broken, right? Why don't you tell me a price? I listen."

"Twenty for four people."

"That won't work. Four people and 21 people will add up to five yuan. No, no, it's too much difference."

"That's it!" Yu Ci pretended to think, "Then we won't leave, and we're not in a hurry anyway."

The man heard: "Why don't you leave? Let me tell you, don't look at it, it's still early, there are some roads to the city. If you get stuck in the city, it will be even later. Let's go early. Don't wait."

"How do you know I'm going to the city? There's more than one train at the station here!" Yi Chen asked.

The man said: "Guess, people here rarely travel far. Not only can I guess that you are going to the city, but I can also know that you are a college student. In our business, I don't have the eyesight to see how to get a job."

As the so-called 360 lines, each line has its own unique skills, which I also admire.

He said to the man: "Wait a minute, let me say a few words."

The man nods.

Yichen pulled Yu Ci aside, and the other two walked aside.

"Why are you here?" Yi Chen asked.

"Give something to a student."

"Send things?"

"The materials that the school ordered last week arrived, and she couldn't go to school, so we came to deliver them to her. Those are the school committee and sports committee of our class, you know."

"Well, sick?"

"Well, that's right, her father was taken away... I don't know very well, but I heard that her father killed someone and was arrested, and she was abused and disabled by her father, recuperating at home and studying by herself. This incident was quite a big one, and the higher-ups came down to say that the school would not let her abandon her, so teachers would come to make up lessons for her from time to time."

"Kill?" Yu Ci nodded, "Wait a minute." Yi Chen turned and walked towards the driver, "Can you wait here? The fare will be the [-] you said at the beginning."

"Twenty of you alone?"

"I'm alone, they won't go."

"Then, you have to pay more."

"Thirty, I'll be out soon."

"Okay, I'll wait for you, you go." The man readily agreed, in Yichen's view, he was afraid that Yichen would go back on his word.

Yichen came back again: "Let's go, I'll go in with you."

Yu Ci looked at the driver and at the time, but didn't refuse.

Four people entered the yard, Unit [-], and a bunch of bicycles were placed outside each unit. The bikes were crowded together, some were standing, and some were lying down. The building was seven stories high, and the windows on each floor had anti-theft windows. The anti-theft windows on some of the windows were already broken. Walking in from the first unit, there would be a different smell wafting out every time you passed the entrance of a unit. Yichen frowned, and subconsciously pushed Yu Ci out.

They didn't stop until they reached the fourth unit. The school committee glanced at the address and said, "[-]."

Yichen looked up and counted.

"Are you still going up?" Yu Ci asked Yi Chen.

Yichen nodded, "Let's go."

Before entering the building, Yichen made all the preparations. He knew that the conditions here should not be too good, but he regretted a little when he came in and went up.Especially when you go up to the sixth floor, there is a musty smell on this floor, and it doesn't come from somewhere, it's completely from this floor.

He felt sick to his stomach.

"[-], this way." A school committee member was a girl wearing glasses, frowning, she moved to the door of [-] and knocked.

This was originally the job of the school committee, Yu Ci and the sports committee came to accompany her, presumably the teacher didn't want to come so they assigned them.

After knocking on the door for a long time, there was the sound of people walking inside, and a mosquito-sized voice asked, "Who is it?"

The school committee said in a muffled voice: "Feifei, it's us, we're here to send you materials."

The door opened.

The moment the door opened, it was like a mildew bomb exploding. [-] was pitch black, with no light from the sky. The girl who opened the door came out with unkempt hair and slippers.

She didn't invite anyone in, she stood outside the door and talked to them.

"No, I won't go back to class, and you won't use it anymore. Didn't those teachers say anything when they went back?"

Yu Ci asked, "What did you say?"

"I'm not going to school."

"No more?"

"Well, thank you, you go back, here...it's not good." She bent over, without the slightest ups and downs in her voice, as if she was talking about other people's affairs.

The clothes she was wearing were stained with blood, and looked like paint or watercolor.

Girls like this have also been seen on TV.

totally decadent,

She coughed violently a few times, and Yichen felt that she was about to cough up her lungs. If it wasn't for Yuci and they brought him here, if he met him himself, he would definitely think she ran out of the hospital.

"Let's go, don't come again, don't come, I won't open the door again... no more." She murmured to herself, walking back.

Yichen saw that her heels were bleeding, so she told Yuci, and Yuci also saw it, but before he could speak, the girl stopped and turned around.

"Are you Yichen?"

Suddenly being cueed, Yichen nodded blankly.

The girl smiled, she should be very good-looking, with such neat teeth, through the messy long hair, you can see a pair of cloudy eyes with tears, double eyelids.

"I was in the same class as Yuci in the third grade of junior high school. I often saw you. At that time, I didn't go to high school. Many people in our class wanted to work hard so that I could be like you when I went to high school. Yuci told us that you are not a high school student. You are so powerful, but you have always been very powerful, I know, you are the goal of many people's pursuit, and you are also the light of many people."

"However, light is not omnipotent. It can illuminate for a year or two, but it can suddenly lose power. It can't save the world, it can't save human beings, it can't punish evil and promote good, it can't help justice, and it is useless. The police do everything. Can't, can't do it..."

Yichen couldn't understand, but Yu Ci put him behind him: "If you are tired, go back and rest."

Seeing Yu Ci's actions, the girl didn't respond, and continued to say to Yi Chen: "You used to be the person I admired the most, really, but today you actually came to see me, so amazing, so amazing."

They said goodbye and they fled.

After leaving the building gate and standing in the yard, the three people were still in shock, only Yichen was a little dazed.

Yu Ci pushed him out the door without looking back.

The driver was still waiting, Yu Ci just said to be careful on the road, and didn't want to say anything more, and Yi Chen didn't ask any more questions, watching them leave, then got in the car and left.

Of course, I took the opportunity to get a hug before parting.

Yichen planned to ask the driver for some information on the road. After all, the driver was here all year round, but the driver was silent when he heard that it was Unit [-], [-].

After a while, the driver asked, "Do you know the sulfuric acid girl?"

Yichen's heart twitched: "I know."

"The sulfuric acid girl was burned alive with sulfuric acid, did you know that?"

Yichen shook his head.

The three-wheelers here are relatively spacious, and five or six people can sit face to face. Yichen turned to the driver and said, "I don't know."

"The murderer, do you know who it is?"

"Informant."

He heard Wu Yang say this when he was in his third year of high school. It seemed to be the old Qin who often went fishing by the lake.

The driver sighed: "You know there's an episode, right?"

"know."

"There is an old lady watching the cars at the entrance of the market. Do you know the old lady's story?"

"Her family story?"

"Ah."

"heard about it."

"That's easy. The old Qin and the old lady's son came back from the army together. After returning, the old lady's son got married and had children, and life became better. The old Qin moved from other places, and no one knew about him. What is his real name? There is a village in Yingjiao, where he lives, and the old lady’s family also lives there. One summer, when the artificial lake was just repaired, some people said that there were fish in the lake that could be eaten, so the two made an appointment. took a piece to go fishing."

"The son of the old lady's family went first. Not long after I went there, a family brought their children. This family didn't fish, they went straight into the water, and then the child fell into the lake and had cramps in his feet. The couple would not Swimming, yelling, the old lady’s son went to rescue people when he heard it, you should have seen that lake, there is some distance between it and the shore, the old lady’s son saved people and died.”

"Then the family moved away, and the old lady's daughter-in-law left with the child. Not long after, the old lady's wife disappeared. The house was a mess. At that time, newspapers said that veterans sacrificed their lives to save children, but in The common people over there say that the Humen are so evil that even those who have been soldiers can’t survive. This is not a good thing to say, but some people have been saying this for many years.”

"I've been to Zhuangyuan Alley, most of them are rich people, they will help the old lady intentionally or unintentionally when they go to the market, but that's not the case where the old lady lives, the things that the old lady takes back can always be bought. I lost more than half of it. Sometimes it was all gone as soon as I took it back. That old Qin was a little delirious when the old lady’s son died, and he sat by the lake fishing every day.”

"That lake is used for water supply and viewing. Where there are fish, he never caught a single one. The girl died on the edge of the lake, her face was covered in sulfuric acid. He called the police, and the police took her away. Half a year after going back, he came again and took him away, saying that he was murdered by a man. When Lao Qin came, he was alone, and people thought he was a bachelor, but on the day he left, a girl came out and said nothing. Don't let the police take people away."

"This girl is the one in Unit [-], [-], named... Qin Fei. She calls Lao Qin Papa, but Lao Qin doesn't recognize him. The paternity test says that the two of them have nothing to do with each other, but the girl insists on calling him Papa, you It's not surprising."

"What if it's adopted?" Yichen asked.

"He is a bachelor who does not meet the adoption regulations at all. Where will he adopt him? Let me tell you, what is even more wicked is that the girl's household registration is actually at the old lady's house. The old lady's daughter-in-law gave birth to a son and took it away. A daughter pops up somewhere, it can't be born by an old lady."

Yichen didn't speak.

"After that old Qin left, someone talked again, saying that people here and at the school always bullied this girl, and made her dare not go out. You said who would like to see the daughter of a murderer, right? She came out well What kind of father do you recognize! This [-] has become a code, anyone who wants to talk about this matter just needs to mention [-] and others will understand."

"That's the question you asked, how about it? Tell me in enough detail!"

Yichen nodded: "It is indeed very detailed, did you hear all these?"

The driver said: "Of course, I drive there for most of the day every day, and I can hear a lot of things."

"Why don't you go to Zhuangyuan Lane?"

"Oh, I can't go there with my broken car. The people over there, Jingui, are like you. They used to be there before. Why do you think you want to come here?"

"Maybe I'm free!"

After getting out of the car, Yichen gave forty, which was all the change he had on him, and the driver took out three and handed back the extra one: "You're opening for me today, you can't charge more, you can take as much as you want , let’s drive.”

Yichen didn't give in, put it away, turned around to leave, the driver suddenly said, "I should have seen you the night the police came to claim the body of the sulfuric acid girl."

Yichen: "Huh?"

"A year ago, I was a policeman at the Yingjiao Police Station. I haven't been in this job for long. Otherwise, my car would be so new."

"Oh, I went with the school teacher."

"That girl died quite tragically, but Lao Qin, oh, who knows, young man, there are not many people asking about this matter now, it's a bad luck, you... You shouldn't ask, don't delay your time Future. Come on, I’m the one who talks too much, you should leave quickly, or there will be traffic jams in the city later.”

Yichen stood there for a while, then left.
