After breakfast, Lu Yun drove away first, and Lu Xijia stayed with the old couple of the Lu family.After watering the flowers in the backyard garden leisurely, the old lady cut a few flowers and carried them back to put them in vases.

The TV was broadcasting today's fresh news, and Lu Xijia was lying on the armrest of the sofa playing Go with Mr. Lu.It's just that he played chess since elementary school, but he was a fool and was not good at chess. In the end, he cheated and asked Mr. Lu to accompany him to play backgammon.

Mr. Lu felt that playing backgammon was too cheap, so he took his precious chessboard away and asked Lu Xijia to go upstairs to get him reading glasses and books.

When Lu Xijia took the book and glasses and went downstairs, a fire news was playing on the TV.A young gambler nanny stole property from the owner's house and set fire to it in the middle of the night, causing three deaths and one injury in the family.

The old lady Lu who was sitting on the sofa didn’t put any more flowers. She just squinted her eyes and stared at the news screen. After a long time, she murmured: “There is no Liu Chunyan, and there are Wang Chunyan, Zhao Chunyan...the people who set fire What a crime..."

Hearing this, Mr. Lu stopped stroking the jade chess piece in his hand, raised his head and glanced at the news on TV, "It's all an old story from more than ten years ago, what are you still obsessed with?"

In the end, seeing Lu Xijia's slowing footsteps at the stairway out of the corner of her eye, she couldn't help raising her elbow to bump into Mrs. Lu, and shouted to Lu Xijia, "Did you bring the books and glasses?"

Lu Xijia quietly covered the thoughts in her eyes, stepped forward and handed the book and glasses to the other party, turned around and sat down on the sofa, and when she raised her eyes, her gaze was fixed on the TV screen for a second.

In the next second, the TV screen jumped from serious news to a relaxing variety show.Lu Xijia leaned back on the sofa with her upper half back, took out her mobile phone from her pocket and unlocked it, and while slowly searching for the game icon on the desktop, she was distracted.

Since he was a child, he has been very sensitive to the words spoken by the adults and elders around him. With just a few ambiguous words written just now, Lu Xijia can conclude without hesitation that what the old lady Lu said was about the attempted arson by the Lu family's nanny more than ten years ago. thing.

The old couple talked less these years, and they talked a lot in private a few years ago.Although he probably knew the cause of the accident, and that he returned to Lu's house after the accident, he had never seen any news reports about the accident.

Her gaze fixed on the familiar game icon, but Lu Xijia's fingertips hanging in mid-air passed the icon and landed beside it.He accidentally opened the search engine and entered the "Liu Chunyan" that the city, Lu's family and the old lady had chanted 2 minutes ago.

The long-standing Internet reports jumped out from the webpage, and Lu Xijia clicked into the text reports to browse them at a glance. The specific reasons in them were almost the same as what he had learned intermittently over the years.

The boyfriend of the young nanny was fired by Lu's company because of a major mistake at work. The other party lied and blamed all the mistakes on the company.

In the past five years, her boyfriend has failed to gamble and owed huge debts. He verbally encouraged the little nanny to steal money from the Lu family to pay off the debts for him, and made a detailed plan in advance under the guise of a fire.However, the plan failed in the end. After the nanny was imprisoned, she finally repented and confessed the truth to the Lu family five years ago in order to reduce her sentence.

Lu Xijia pulled the report to the bottom, and all she saw was a black and white photo of the perpetrator's face coded.After a hasty glance, he exited, and then opened the next similar web page report. Finally, in an article digging into the criminal's poor life experience and docile personality, he saw the old life photos of the young nanny with clear facial features.

Lu Xijia quit the browser without interest, and opened the game without hesitation.

After eating at noon, Lu Xijia lay on the bed and wanted to listen to music, got up and got out of bed to search for headphones to no avail, and finally remembered that her favorite pair of headphones was still in the school dormitory.He simply left Lu's house early and went back to school to get his things.

It happened that the roommate who lived off-campus also came back to look for things, and the other party found a good internship job. Without a word, he wanted to ask Lu Xijia to have dinner with the other two roommates.The other two roommates who were renting together off-campus to prepare for the exam kept packing and went out. Lu Xijia wanted to refuse, but finally followed them to eat Chongqing hot pot.

Someone at the dinner table drank too much. When the four of them came out of the hot pot restaurant, Lu Xijia stood on the side of the road and called Lu Yun, asking where he was.During the period, the other two sent their drunken roommate to a taxi, and then they both bid farewell and walked back to a nearby rental house.

Lu Xijia squatted under the street lamp playing with her mobile phone, just waiting for Lu Yun to drive to pick him up.After nightfall, the crowds on the food street were noisy, and occasionally a girl walking arm in arm passed in front of him, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at him.Lu Xijia lowered her head and looked at the phone for a while, then stood up holding the phone again, trying to move her two legs that were getting numb.

An untimely shutter sound came from his ear, and he suddenly raised his head to look at the source of the sound.In front of the zebra crossing a few steps away, a girl frantically put away her mobile phone and smiled at him with an embarrassing expression.At the same time, the pedestrian traffic light on the opposite side of the street jumped from red to green, and the companion beside the other party looked at her with a look of resentment, and took her by the arm and walked quickly across the street.

Lu Xijia's gaze followed them to the opposite side of the street, and casually glanced at the neon signboards shining in front of the opposite eaves. The small restaurant where there was a disturbance a few days ago has resumed normal business at this time, and a student couple with school bags on their backs walked into the store. The proprietress with an apron around her waist came forward with a friendly smile.

Across a narrow street, he looked away from the landlady's face with a dull expression.A silver private car whizzed by with its headlights on, and the dazzling lights flashed past his retinas.Lu Xijia narrowed her eyes subconsciously.

When I opened my eyes again, overlapping memories and pictures flashed across my mind like lightning.He stood on the side of the road in a daze for a second, and vague but terrifying thoughts sprang up in his mind without warning.The blood all over his body instantly cooled down, and went all the way back to the top of his head.

Lu Xijia raised her eyes again, following the lady proprietress in the opposite restaurant.The latter buried his head and wiped his hands, turned around and walked in behind the student couple.Lu Xijia stepped forward subconsciously, and a hand came across his line of sight, grabbing his forearm and pulling him back vigorously.

Lu Xijia staggered into the arms of the person behind him, and the takeaway motorcycle that caught every stitch in the traffic flow passed by his pants.His scalp tingled slightly, and he turned his face full of fear, and bumped into Lu Yun's stagnant and tense face mixed with anger.
