Visit Tihifeng

Nanguang County is very remote and there are no trains.

Fu Shujue was traveling alone this time, and the only thing he could rely on was an address slip.

The address was found from the files kept by Li Jiao.

He couldn't deny that when he saw the information in the file for the first time, his blood ran cold all over his body.Just the word "Nanguang County" made him feel like a bucket of ice water.

——"Do you know where his hometown is?"

——"Has Li Jiao ever been hospitalized in other provinces?"

—— "Do you know a person named Gu? Or Li Jiao?"

——"You have been with him for so long, how come you don't know anything?"

Facing An Tong's question, Fu Shujue found that he really couldn't answer.

After leaving this time, he still had a little hope in his heart.Because in the data, Li Jiao did not fill in the surname Gu in the column of the father of the kinship relationship.The man's surname is Xu.

Li Jiao's surname followed his mother's.

It would be best not to be surnamed Gu.Fu Shujue comforted herself like this.

When we arrived in Nanguang County, it was already the next morning.

Today is Saturday, so the streets are very deserted.

Fu Shujue didn't go to the destination immediately, but found a hotel to rest for a while, and waited until around ten o'clock before taking a taxi there.

Although it is not included in the poverty-stricken counties, from the perspective of environment and street construction, it is not very rich.The county has a small population, and there is no traffic congestion. The storefronts on both sides are old, and the houses are basically built in the 90s.

The place Fu Shujue was going to was a bit more lively, and it was a densely populated residential area.

According to the address, he found the factory dormitory. He stood on the fifth floor and tapped the iron door on the left with his fingers.

Soon someone in the room shouted: "Come on, wait a minute!"

It sounds younger.After the door opened, a young woman appeared in the hallway, with short hair and a round face.

Fu Shujue looked at her calmly, and felt that she had nothing in common with Li Jiao.Also, the age is not right.But he still opened his mouth and said, "Excuse me, is this Li Fuchen's home?"

The woman was puzzled and frowned slightly, "Li Fuchen? Who is it? I don't know this person."

Fu Shujue couldn't react instantly, he looked around and said, "Isn't this 6, Unit 3, Building 502?"

The other party said strangely: "Yes. But I don't know the person you mentioned."

Unexpectedly, this was the case after running all the way here, Fu Shujue suddenly didn't know what to do next.

He thought of several hypotheses, both good and bad.

But he never thought that someone would use the phrase "I don't know" to disrupt the wall of his heart that he had already built.

Seeing Fu Shujue's bewildered look, the man kindly added: "There is no Li in our family."

"...Thank you." Fu Shujue slowly squeezed out such a sentence.Just as he was about to turn around and go downstairs, and the man was about to close the door, he seemed to think of something, he turned around in a hurry, and blocked the door with his hand: "Excuse me, let me ask again, have you lived here all the time? still……"

"I just moved in the year before last." Seemingly aware of what the man in front of her meant, the woman said, "But the person who sold the house to me wasn't surnamed Li at that time."

After a moment of silence, Fu Shujue said, "Do you have the other party's contact information, can you give it to me? I'm looking for someone who lived here before. I want to ask the previous owner."

The woman hesitated for a while, then took her mobile phone and reported a series of numbers: "Their family has moved to the city. I don't know if this number can be connected. You can try."

Fu Shujue thanked her.

In fact, he didn't have much hope for this number.Once a person has moved, everything is unknown.Because one residence can be exchanged for another residence.

But no matter what, you really have to try it first.

After Fu Shujue dialed the phone, he waited a few times, and a slightly old voice came from the other side. "Hi," said the man, "how are you?"

"Hello." Fu Shujue briefly introduced himself, and then said that he found it according to the address, but the person living in the house is not the one he was looking for. "Excuse me, are you the earliest homeowner? Do you know a man named Li Fuchen?"

The old man understood what he was here for, and said with a smile: "I am not the first homeowner, there is another one before me."

Another term?Fu Shujue felt powerless, it seemed unwise to ask one after another like this.But... there is no better way.Apart from this address, he has no clue.Almost without expectation, Fu Shujue said: "The owner who sold the house to you, do you know his name?"

"Her," the man said, "her name is Li Fuchen."

Fu Shujue grasped the phone instinctively, her expression tensed up immediately.Restraining his excitement, he asked, "Do you know where she went after that?"

He was really afraid that she would not be in Nanguang County anymore.

But fortunately, the other party said: "At that time she moved to Changqing Street in Xitou. I don't know if she has moved again after all these years."

"Could you tell me the exact location of Changqing Street?"

"Okay, I'll look for it."

Fu Shujue heard the sound of leaving footsteps.After a while, the old man came back and answered the phone.

After telling Fu Shujue the specific address, the old man said: "Are you a relative of her family? I have known Xiao Li for many years, and it seems that I have never seen her relatives come to look for her."

Fu Shujue's heart moved, and he asked, "Are you familiar with her?"

"The county is so big, and she lived in the dormitory building for so long before, how could she not be familiar with it? An old neighbor. That's why I was surprised. I heard that you are very young."

"..." Fu Shujue made an excuse: "I'm her son's friend."

Who knew that the person on the other side of the phone laughed loudly: "Where did Xiao Li get a son? She only has one daughter."

"Daughter?" Fu Shujue was surprised: "Then her daughter... is also surnamed Li?"

"Of course her daughter has the same surname as her father, her surname is Xu."

After hanging up the phone, Fu Shujue's thoughts were completely confused into a mess.

He was getting more and more confused.

The address written in Li Jiao's information is an address that has been changed twice a few years ago.Even if Li Jiao doesn't return to Nanguang County, he shouldn't be unaware that his home has changed to a new place.Moreover, after they were together, during the first one or two years, Li Jiao returned to his hometown for the Chinese New Year.

Perhaps it can be said that the file has been created for too long, and he is unwilling to modify it.

So what about kinship?

The name he wrote down in the column of father, the first letter is clearly "Xu".

The mother is Li Fuchen.

But the neighbor who lives with him said: Li Fuchen has no son, only one daughter.The daughter's surname is Xu.

So, what the hell is going on here?

Is Li Jiao lying?

Or... what is the relationship between Li Jiao and Li Fuchen?

In the end, Fu Shujue chose to go to Changqing Street to take a look.

******

At the end of Changqing Street, there are a few pitifully dilapidated low buildings.

Compared to before, this place seemed too desolate.

There are only two or three shops on a long road, and a few old people knitting sweaters in front of the building are sitting there chatting.Other than that, don't see anything superfluous.

Inexplicably, Fu Shujue thought of the rental house where Li Jiao first lived.The same is true, no popularity, depression and decline.

It seemed that his appearance was a bit out of place, and the old people couldn't help looking at Fu Shujue curiously.

Without staying longer, Fu Shujue went upstairs directly.

When he knocked on the door again, he was nervous and anxious.On the one hand, I desperately want to know the truth, and on the other hand, I am afraid that the truth is not different from what I think.

Conflict and torment.

A girl in her 20s opened the door for Fu Shujue.

The girl has a pale face, big eyes, but lifeless, with an expression of indifference that is not easy to get close to.She asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Breathe deeply in your heart and try to calm down all the restless emotions.Fu Shujue said: "Hi, may I ask, does Li Fuchen live here?"

The surprise in the girl's eyes flashed away, she couldn't help but look at Fu Shujue for a while, and said, "She's my mother, are you?"

Fu Shujue was very surprised: "You are... Li Jiao's younger sister?" He realized later that this girl's eyes were the same as Li Jiao's, round and big, but Li Jiao's eyes were very bright, lively and beautiful.

Hearing the word "Li Jiao", her eyes sharpened instantly, her lips were drawn into a straight line, and her face became even more ruthless.She looked at Fu Shujue, as if she could stare at people, "Do you know my brother?"

"...He is mine," Fu Shujue paused, "Friend." The other party admitted that Li Jiao is her brother, so Li Jiao should be Li Fuchen's son.So, is the neighbor lying?

"Friend?" She suddenly smiled: "Then what about him, why didn't he come with you?"

"He..." In front of this little girl, Fu Shujue found himself a little speechless.Because of the opponent's toughness and unreasonable hostility.

"I know all my brother's friends. Just because you found this place alone, you can't be his friend. And the people my mother used to hang out with are not like you. So," she said coldly :"Who are you?"

Fu Shujue was thinking about how to make up an excuse.

She said again: "You'd better not lie to me casually, I will report to the police that you are maliciously harassing me."

This child... Fu Shujue laughed, Li Jiao's temper was much better than hers.He didn't lie to her: "My surname is Fu, and I'm really your brother's friend. I have a relationship with him..."

Thinking of Li Jiao, Fu Shujue's expression also became gentler, he smiled and said: "We have a very good relationship. This time, I have something to talk to your mother about."

"Since you have a good relationship." Leaning against the door, she just sneered, "Then why didn't he tell you that my mother has passed away."

"What...?" Fu Shujue froze there.

Anger slowly welled up between her brows and eyes, and she said sharply: "You said your surname is Fu? Are you Fu Shuxuan?"

Fu Shujue vaguely understood why she seemed to be so angry.He said, "Fu Shuxuan is my brother."

After hearing this, she was very angry.He stopped talking and just turned around and walked into the room.

Without waiting for Fu Shujue to stop her, she came out again, with a broom in her hand, and slapped Fu Shujue vigorously: "Fu family's bastard, get out! Get out!"

Fu Shujue could only take a few steps back.

"You still have the face to come to our house?! Still friends? You bastards have friends too?!" She blocked the door, cursing uncontrollably: "Murderer! My aunt's family was killed by you! It's your fault!"

"What do you want to talk to my mother? Do you know how she died?! On the second day after she brought her cousin back to take care of her, my father ran away because he was afraid of causing trouble and leaving the two of us. My mother was already in poor health. One person has to pay for the lives of three people. I was sick and had no money to treat, and finally died at home. We live like people, and live like a home." She almost gritted her teeth: "Who do you think is responsible?"

At the end, her expression was sad and desperate: "But why are you still alive? You are the ones who deserve to be hit by a car! Get out! Get out!"

The door was closed heavily, and she leaned against the door, crying uncontrollably.

It's been so long that she doesn't want to remember it, but she just experienced that kind of heart-piercing pain again.

She is sensitive, she is tough, she looks at the world with cold eyes, and she puts an end to everything that can hurt herself.

"Prevention" is her closest friend.

Neither she nor her brother wanted to bring up the past again.

She understood that the other party did not return home year after year after her mother passed away.

They're all the same, just too scared.

He gives her money.Except for money, there is no word.

So does she.

Once, they needed money badly, but they didn't have it.

At that time, I just thought why was there not enough money?Seeing a doctor, taking medicine, surgery.

Really not enough.

after a long time,

So long that the person is gone, so long that the wound heals, and so long that they have grown up.

It seems that it is not so important.

******

Fu Shujue stood at the door, lost his mind, looking cramped and embarrassed.

He finally knew that he could no longer lie to himself.

If he had been lucky before coming here, then the bloody truth was right in front of him, and he was slapped hard.

Accept it or not, some things are just that cruel.

He even regrets,

Why do you need to know?Why do you have to understand too much?

Yet he understood,

Even if I am drunk and dreamy,

But there is always someone around who is more awake than anyone else.

Li Jiao.Fu Shujue said: How did you get here all these years?

You stay with me, smile at me, hold my hand, or I kiss you, hold you, when we hug,

Can you find a moment of peace during these times?

I've been with you for so long,

I've come a long way with you,

I just found,

It turns out that you have traveled all over my life, but I don't even count you as a passer-by.
