The old woman didn't say a word, and didn't care about the exposed wooden wall with countless cobwebs and holes because the newspaper fell off. She picked up the newspaper and slowly put it aside.

Jiang Baochen felt a sharp pain, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that he had clenched his fist unconsciously, and his nails had been deeply embedded in his palm.

Let go of your fingers, and the pain persists for a long time.

He looked at the bony and staggering figure in front of him, and wanted to speak, his throat became hoarse, his breathing became difficult, and even his eyes turned black.

Gu Ye never took the initiative to talk about the situation at home back then, but Jiang Baochen still knew something.

Knowing that the living conditions of Gu Ye's family are difficult.

Know that Gu Ye is a single-parent family and lives with Omega mother.

I also know that Gu's mother has a very nice name called Gu Xueqiao.

Jiang Baochen especially wanted to meet Gu's mother, but every time the class held a parent-teacher meeting, Gu Ye's seat with the best grades was always empty.

However, Jiang Baochen actually met Gu's mother once.

I have seen that Auntie Omega who not only has a nice name, but also looks very beautiful.

She is wearing a beautiful short-sleeved floral dress with ruffled leaves, delicate makeup on her face, long seaweed-like black curly hair hanging down to her waist, her figure is slim and graceful, like a peach blossom just blooming in spring, her hands Holding a small bag together, their skin is very fair, and their thin arms seem to be shining brightly in the sun.

Aunt Gu also has a pair of very beautiful and recognizable eyes, which are the same as Gu Ye's, deep and somewhat slender.

But in Gu Ye's body, he was always indifferent and repulsive, but in Aunt Gu's body, she was as gentle and affectionate as water.

The beautiful aunt was looking at the teaching building, but she probably noticed his gaze and looked over.

Just that one look.

He recognized it, it must be Gu Ye's mother.

Suddenly they looked at each other, he was inexplicably nervous, he was stunned for a while, and after seeing the other party turned and left directly, he hurriedly chased after him as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"Aunt! Aunt Gu!"

At that time, Jiang Baochen didn't show the willfulness and arrogance that the rich second generation should have. The ugly school uniform on his body couldn't hide his cute and lovable appearance. He was enthusiastic, lively and familiar, and he stretched out his hand to hold the other's slender arms "Auntie, my name is Jiang Baochen, and I'm Gu Ye's deskmate. The parent-teacher meeting is about to start, can't you find the classroom? I'll take you there!"

Aunt stopped, with a hesitant expression.

Jiang Baochen didn't know what she was hesitating for, so he smiled and said, "The parent meeting is about to start! Gu Ye is also in the classroom, he will be very happy to see you here!"

But he didn't think that these words would be a sharp blade, cutting off the opponent's hesitation cleanly.

The beautiful aunt withdrew her hand and said with a smile, "Little classmate, you have misidentified the person."

After speaking, he left in a hurry.

The high-heeled shoes left with a clatter, and the Miaoman's upright body gradually overlapped with the crooked figure in front of her.

Jiang Baochen felt a dull pain in his heart, his eyes were blurred for some reason, and he unconsciously clenched his fists again, as if he had the strength to speak.

"Is it... Aunt Gu?"

The voice was difficult, like swallowing sand.

The old man didn't respond, and stuffed the old newspapers into the cardboard box.

"Auntie, have you had dinner yet?"

Jiang Baochen didn't see anything like a kitchen stove in the house. He walked up to the woman who looked like an old woman, bent down, and said, "Auntie, do you still recognize me? We met before, my name is Jiang Baochen, Gu Ye's classmate."

The old man wiped the tabletop with his skinny and cracked palms, and then turned to look at him.

Jiang Baochen forced a smile so that the other party could identify himself, "Auntie, do you still remember me?"

The old man raised his finger and pointed to his mouth, making two hoarse ahhhs.

"Would you like some water?" Jiang Baochen turned around immediately.

He searched hard in the small and dark wooden house. The small wooden bed was hung with old gauze curtains, and the quilt looked dry and cold. There was a single-burner gas stove behind the bed, and the gas stove was facing a toilet. No jugs or anything like that in sight.

He was anxious, and began to grope to see if there was a bowl or something like that.

But after looking for it, the tears came down first.

He quickly wiped his eye sockets, but couldn't help but knelt down emotionally and hugged his knees and cried.

The old woman walked to the bed with difficulty and looked down at him.

Jiang Baochen, with his back to her, only choked up and cried for a while. After the emotional outburst, he swallowed, calmed down, wiped the tears from his face with both hands, and continued to grope for the bowl and chopsticks. Finally, he found himself in a foam box that was too dark to be seen. , found the bowl.

Jiang Baochen almost cut his hand by the damage and cracks on the small bowl.

Found the bowl, where is the water?

Jiang Baochen found rice in an iron box, and water in a half-sized jar.

He scooped up a bowl and squinted to see that there were no insects growing in the water.

Standing up, looking back to see the other party standing by the bed, I was almost startled, but the reddish almond eyes immediately bent, showing a big and bright smile, cleared my throat and said, "Aunt Gu, just drink this water, right? I'll come I heard from time to time that there is a natural underground spring well nearby, which is warm in winter and cool in summer, fresh and clean, and it is sweet and delicious to drink directly!"

"To you."

Jiang Baochen handed her the bowl with both hands.

The old man was silent for a while, then took the bowl.

In the winter, she was wearing an old thick padded jacket with hands like dead branches in the sleeves.

Her hands were trembling unsteadily, and she struggled to look up at him.

The smile on Jiang Baochen's face did not change, it was so bright that it was already on his face, he raised his volume slightly, "Aren't you thirsty? Drink some first, and I'll go outside to buy you mineral water later, haven't you yet?" Have dinner? I'll buy a few dishes at the small restaurant. It's New Year's Eve. Eat something good! Auntie, are you heavy on oil and salt?"

Omega chattered endlessly to the old man under the dim light, as if some big monster would swallow him in an instant as soon as he stopped talking.

The old man blinked, as if he didn't understand, he raised his bowl to drink water tremblingly.

The hands were shaking, and the force was not right, and the water immediately flowed out from the corner of the mouth, dripping on the worn-out old padded jacket.

When Jiang Baochen saw that he was fumbling for pockets, he really let him touch the paper towel. He bent down and carefully wiped the old woman's mouth and chin with the paper towel first, then wiped off the water on the cotton-padded clothes. Sniffing, then smiled and said to her: "Forget it, I'll take you to eat directly, so as to save the food from getting cold back and forth."

Jiang Baochen did what he said, took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight, and was about to help the old man out.

But the old woman touched his hand lightly.

The touch doesn't feel like a hand, it's cold, rough, and hard like a withered old tree trunk.

Jiang Baochen looked at her.

She said, "No need."

His voice was hoarse, as if he had swallowed hot coals and sand raw.

Jiang Baochen was startled, and said, "Aunt Gu."

The old woman waved her hand, didn't look at Jiang Baochen, just took his hand away, and said, "Little classmate, you've got the wrong person."

As soon as those words came out, Jiang Baochen's nose suddenly became sore!

The rough palm scratched on the back of his hand was like a sharp stone, causing him pain, but the smile on his face was brighter at the next moment, and he said in a brisk tone: "Aunt Gu, why do you always say that I admit my mistakes? It was the same before and now. That's right, Gu Ye is watching you come!"

"In the past few years, he has become very promising abroad. He just returned to China not long ago. He wanted to come to you on the first day after returning to China, but he was too busy to spare. Isn't it the New Year's Eve today? He drove several It took me an hour to drive from City H to Biyu, and I’m still buying you gifts right now, so I’ll call him and tell him to hurry up.”

After this series of words, the old lady completely changed her attitude.

She vigorously pushed Jiang Baochen out, shouting hoarsely, "I don't know you! Go, go!"

The old man was thin and thin, but he was strong. Jiang Baochen didn't dare to confront her for fear of hurting her, so he half pushed and walked out, unwilling to reconcile, and said: "Auntie, Auntie Gu, you are still here to wait for him to come back, aren't you? "

Give him a hard push.

Just as Jiang Baochen thought that the turning point was coming, he was pushed away even more forcefully by the other party. The force was suddenly so great that he pushed Jiang Baochen out of the wooden house like a bulldozer.

Jiang Baochen almost fell over the high threshold. He staggered and stood still, when he saw the wooden door being slammed shut in front of him with a "bang."

The night wind outside was bone-chilling.

Jiang Baochen knocked on the door, "Aunt Gu, Aunt Gu, I lied to you. Gu Ye didn't come, so I came alone. Please let me in. It's so cold outside, I'm about to catch a cold."

waited and waited.

Jiang Baochen was miserable again: "Aunt Gu! I know you here, there is no other place to go!"

There was no movement in the house.

At this time, a few children playing with firecrackers ran out of the alley, about six or seven years old, with a gust of wind on their bodies, and they were all kinds of delicious dishes.

Jiang Baochen's stomach gurgled.

He stopped one at random, knelt down, pointed to the wooden door and asked, "Little friend, do you know who lives inside?"

"Mute!"

Children need to pronounce more accurately. Jiang Baochen immediately recognized the word "dumb", and he frowned, "Mute? Why do you call her dumb?"

"She can't talk!" Another child answered loudly for the little friend.

Can't speak?

Jiang Baochen clearly listened to Aunt Gu, although her voice was very hoarse.

But he suddenly realized that when the other party opened his mouth just now, he didn't mean that he was thirsty and wanted to drink water, but he probably meant "I can't talk."

Why not, clearly stated!

Jiang Baochen asked: "Do you know anything else? Does the dumb woman have children?"

The child shook his head, "She lives alone!"

"That's it."

"Yes, she goes out to pick up trash every day, and she smells super smelly because she doesn't take a shower, her hair is dirty, and her body is full of lice."

The companion on the side swallowed, "But the dumb woman will give us candy."

"My mother said that the candy she gave was also picked up from the garbage dump!"

"No, I saw her buying it in the store."

"It was picked up from the garbage dump! My mother also said that if you eat the candy she gave you, you will die! Don't eat it!"

"I'm fine after eating."

"Then you are dying, this will take a little longer, maybe tomorrow."

Jiang Baochen was in a heavy mood. Seeing that the two children were arguing, he changed his tone and asked with a smile, "Do you like sweets? Tell me about the dumb woman, and I'll buy you a lot of sweets~"

"What are you talking about?" The half-grown boy looked at Jiang Baochen, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Brother, you look so good-looking!"

"Thank you, but you boast that I don't have candy, and you have to tell me about the dumb woman to have candy." Jiang Baochen touched his head, and he was very experienced in dealing with children, coaxing: "Say what you have seen and remember ,OK?"

"Okay~~" said the child, "The dumb woman picks up trash!"

"The dumb woman often does wrong things, and the uncles in the village will scold her."

"I'll still hit her."

"The dumb woman always laughs inexplicably by herself. My mother said it was because she was crazy!"

——"Oh, by the way, brother, there used to be a ghost in the dumb woman's house! It always screams at night! It's super scary!!"

Seeing the child waving his hands exaggeratedly, Jiang Baochen felt a sharp stab in his heart. The child spoke innocently and innocently, but what was hidden in his words was the cruel truth that would be dripping with blood as long as he peeled off a little bit.

He reached out to touch the child's cheek, and said with a serious expression: "There is no ghost in the dumb woman's house. The dumb woman was beaten by the village uncle during the day, and secretly hid in the house crying at night. Did your mother ever beat you?" "

The little boy nodded!

"Does it hurt?"

The little boy nodded harder!

"You cry when it hurts, right? The dumb woman is also afraid of pain, but she is an adult, so she can only hide and cry. I didn't expect to be heard by you who are still awake at night~ If the dumb woman knew that you found her I'm sorry, so I can't talk about this with other people in the future. Because a man can't bully others, let alone bully or speak ill of her mother-in-law, right?"

The little boy was taught to be honest, nodded his head, and lowered his eyes, "Brother, I was wrong..."

"If you know your mistakes, you are a good boy." Jiang Baochen endured the inexplicable dull pain in his heart, cheered up and said with a smile: "Okay, brother will take you to buy candy now, are you afraid that brother is a bad person?"

"Don't be afraid, brother looks so beautiful!"

"That's not right. Isn't being good-looking a bad guy? There are bad guys who are good-looking too."

"Is that brother?" The little guy raised his head and asked blankly.

"Brother, of course not." Jiang Baochen walked forward holding the other, just looking at Gu Ye who was looking anxious at the end of the path, he looked away, and continued: "But some uncles are, when they see him, they must hide as far away as possible. Because they're the worst villains in the world."

Jiang Baochen led the child and walked past Gu Ye.

Gu Ye raised his hand to grab him, but his fingertips brushed against Omega's cool sleeve.

The group of three walked away.

The child who couldn't help but keep quiet just now asked in a low voice, "Brother, could that uncle be a villain just now?"

"Yes."

Jiang Baochen lowered his eyes and answered coldly and in the affirmative!
