River Breeze Night Sparrow

Wushui Junior High School was even dilapidated than Jiang Yi thought.

There are three grades in total, each grade has only five classes, and each class has only thirty or forty students.The whole school has only two teaching buildings, an office building, a large playground, a cafeteria and two empty student dormitories.

The infrastructure of Wushui Junior High School is also very old. The paint on the outside of the teaching building is also very mottled and peeling. Even the road on the ground is full of holes, and it is easy to trip if you are not careful.

During this period of time, Jiang Yi has been to the No. [-] Middle School of the city many times.The difference between the city's key schools and the township schools is not only the distance from the bustling city, but also the construction style and overall temperament seem to be several years apart. It can only be said that the difference between urban and rural development is particularly prominent in the education industry.

The child they were looking for was called Dai Xinjie.He has a fair face, but that also makes the big mole on his face stand out, like ink stains on a piece of unused white paper.

"City No. [-] Middle School is very good, the classrooms are beautiful, the playground is huge, and the teachers are very good at teaching. However, it may not be suitable for me to live there..."

Dai Xinjie smiled wryly, and subconsciously covered his face.

"It's very good in the city, but it's like a good flower pot. I'm just a dog's tail grass. It's more suitable to grow in the fields in the countryside. It's comfortable and comfortable. Only then can it grow into a big tree in the future." However, He seemed to have thought about it a long time ago. He touched his head, and the shy smile on his face also showed a bit of determination and courage.

"Wang Ke used to have a good relationship with me. He said that children like us have no power or power, and we have to find someone to cover us. So he likes to play with those gangsters. But in fact, playing with those gangsters , but also to be bullied by them, it’s just that I can follow behind them and pretend to be a tiger. I think it’s quite boring.”

Because of his appearance, Dai Xinjie was often looked down upon.Among the children from Wushui who were transferred to No. [-] Middle School in the city, he was probably the most excluded.He was able to recognize the thoughts in his heart and made up his mind to come back early, which is not brave or spineless.

"Wang Ke has a bit of a temper. I can't bear it and hide. Wang Ke can't stand it, and he often yells at people directly. But if he really admires someone, he listens to others. I heard from him before that he knew someone The eldest brother, who is considered his distant relative, was willing to protect him. He also told me that I should kowtow to others to recognize a brother and take care of me. I refused. Not long after, I returned to Wushui. "

"That big brother, I think his name is Brother Yuan. I don't know much about the others."

Asked if Wang Ke had any familiar classmates in Wushui Junior High School, Dai Xinjie said: "After going to No. [-] Middle School, Wang Ke deleted all the contact information of his former classmates. Even after I transferred back to Wushui, he sent me The number has also been deleted."

Walking out of Wushui Junior High School, Lin Qiu sized Jiang Yi up, and was about to say something, when he turned his head and looked over, his expression changed, and he said with a smile, "Mr. Lin, I'm hungry. . ” In his tone, there was a sense of relying on him as “half a native of Wushui”.

Lin Qiu quickly thought about Wushui's shop, and said, "Do you want to eat wonton?"

"Eat! Follow Mrs. Lin, I am willing to eat anything!"

Jiang Yi followed Lin Qiu, first got into the alley next to the small shop at the school gate, then turned left and right, and unexpectedly came to an old community.The outside of the buildings here are unpainted, with exposed lime walls and cobalt blue glass, which makes them look a bit vicissitudes.

In one place, the back window on the first floor was wide open, and a simple and concise signboard hung above it: "Breakfast Wonton".

Lin Qiu knocked on the window, only to see a bald head popping out. Seeing the faint smile on Lin Qiu's face, he immediately beamed with joy.

"Ah, Xiao Lin! Long time no see! You can be regarded as coming back to see!"

"Uncle Guang, long time no see."

"Still the same?"

Lin Qiu: "Yeah. It's the same. Two bowls, and a few more for the other bowl." He looked back at Jiang Yi and said, "My friend is hungry."

Uncle Guang looked at the tall man behind Lin Qiu, and saw that he also smiled sincerely, which relieved a bit of the sharpness of his facial features and made people more intimate.

Uncle Guang was overjoyed: "Come on. Come in and sit down! It will be ready soon."

The steaming wontons arrived quickly.The thin-skinned chicken soup wontons are delicious at a glance.Although it is in a rough and heavy porcelain bowl, it still does not detract from its attractiveness, but adds a bit of earthy and earthy charm.

Jiang Yi took a sip of the soup, his eyebrows and eyes moved. "As expected of Mr. Lin's favorite place, it's so rare in my heart."

Lin Qiu knew that Jiang Yi was glib, but still couldn't help but look at him with a smile.

I thought that Jiang Yi was used to delicacies from mountains and seas, and maybe he couldn't get used to a simple bowl of wontons in this village, but seeing that he didn't feel disgusted at all, he tasted a few more wontons in a row and said, "It's really comfortable to have a bowl when I'm hungry. If you are on the night shift and can eat this bowl of wontons with Mr. Lin at night, you will definitely lose your tiredness immediately."

Lin Qiu saw Jiang Yi secretly looking at him, and took a sip of soup with downcast eyes.Jiang Yi didn't know what to do, so he only heard Lin Qiu say, "Uncle Guang, pack some wontons later, I'll take them home and refrigerate them, and eat slowly."

Jiang Yi's eyes lit up.

"Uncle Guang, how are you doing?"

"That's it. People in the town are rushing to Jingdong City. Those who can send their children to the city will be sent to the city. There will be no more lively children in the place, so there will be no fresh blood and vitality. A pool of stagnant water , it’s just us old people living a life.”

"What about you? Kobayashi, where are you now? Are you still a teacher?"

The smile on Lin Qiu's lips froze for a moment, and he shook his head.

"Oh, it's okay to be inappropriate. You, oh! Don't mention the past, don't mention it!"

"Then you came back this time..."

Lin Qiu said, "My friend is a policeman, and he came to Wushui to investigate something."

"Huh? What happened?"

Lin Qiu looked at Jiang Yi.Jiang Yi understood, and said: "A few children from Wushui have joined the No. [-] Middle School in the city as transfer students. Now something happened. By the way, Uncle Guang, do you know this child?"

Jiang Yi showed Wang Ke's photo to Uncle Guang. Uncle Guang touched his smooth forehead, looked at him for a moment, and said, "Oh, I remembered! Isn't this Fu Xiufang's grandson? What's the name? Wang Ke, it's called Wang Ke, right!"

Jiang Yi regained his energy immediately, and said, "Yes. Do you know anything about this child?"

"I don't know much about this kid, but it's his grandma's business, so it's a bit of a talk."

"Oh? How do you say that?"

Uncle Guang said: "This is also an old gossip in the village. Fu Xiufang used to be a village flower, she was pretty, and she was also the first female high school student in the village. She originally wanted to go on to college, but unfortunately her old family Her father was ill at that time, and the family couldn't afford it, so she stopped studying and planned to marry. She was talented and beautiful, and all the young talents in the village came to propose marriage. She chose and married an accountant in the textile factory in the village. , that is, the child’s grandfather, Wang Guishu.”

Both Jiang Yi and Lin Qiu listened carefully.

Uncle Guang drank his saliva and continued: "Sometimes, this life is really a drama. This Wang Guishu had a childhood sweetheart who was engaged to a baby, but Wang Guishu married Fu Xiufang. Although he married her, But this childhood sweetheart has never given up. However, after this Wang Guishu has a wife, he doesn't even want to look at her."

"But, within two years, Fu Xiufang caught the two of them and raped them on the bed, and she was so angry. It is said that it was a mess after drinking, and it was that woman who climbed into his bed by herself. Wang Guishu turned to Fu Xiu Fang kowtowed to admit her mistake, and finally got Fu Xiufang back. Seeing that she couldn't break them up, and she lost her reputation, she was discouraged and married an old bachelor in the village."

"But after all this tossing, Fu Xiufang's health is not very good. Wang Guishu is also unlucky, and died before reaching fifty. Fu Xiufang supports this family, inside and out, until she His son, Wang Bing, also married a wife and had children, and died within a few years. But without Fu Xiufang, the Wang family lost its pillar, and the family's situation became worse and worse. Son, ran away. Wang Bing had no other way to make a living, so he had to leave the child and go out to work."

After finishing speaking, Uncle Guang also sighed: "Speaking of it this way, this child is also pitiful."

Jiang Yi remained silent and did not tell Uncle Guang that Wang Ke had also been killed.Lin Qiu didn't make a sound either.

Wontons go down quickly.Uncle Guang was about to send them away when a woman poked her head in from the door and said, "Lao Li, pack some wontons for me and cook them for the children when I go home."

She was wearing an apron with white flowers on a blue background, and a pair of black cloth shoes on the soles of her feet.The low ponytail was tied tightly, revealing the thin cheeks, and the simple thick lips were bending upwards, smiling at Uncle Guang.

It was rare to see men like Jiang Yi and Lin Qiu in the township, so she couldn't help but take a second look.

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, grabbed Lin Qiu's wrist, and said, "You, are you that..."

Uncle Guang's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately squeezed over, putting himself between Lin Qiu and the woman.

"Juanzi, are you here to buy wontons for the child again? I still have some fresh shrimp wontons here, you can bring some more home!"

"Eh..."

Jiang Yi frowned, only to see that Lin Qiu beside him turned pale for a moment, broke away, and quickly ran to the bushes outside to bend over.

His heart was wrenched, and he quickly followed, only to find that Lin Qiu was half-kneeling on the ground, with his whole face buried in the bushes, only to hear him retching a few times and coughing.

"Mr. Lin, what's wrong with you!"

Lin Qiu remained silent for a long time without moving, but tightly grasped the hand that Jiang Yi handed over, as if tightly grasping a life-saving straw in the turbulent deep water.

Finally, he calmed down a little, and finally raised his face and wiped his lips.

Jiang Yi looked at Lin Qiu's flushed cheeks and those bloodshot eyes, and felt worried for a while.

"Teacher Lin, Lin Qiu, what's wrong with you?"

He looked at Jiang Yi's anxious face, and squeezed out a comforting smile from the corner of his lips. His eyes, which were sore and swollen from retching just now, moved, but tears rolled down.

Jiang Yi was at a loss, looked at Lin Qiu in a dazed and worried manner, and could only make his hand a little heavier.

"It's okay, Jiang Yi. It's an old problem." He said softly, his voice was a little hoarse.

Jiang Yi: "Mr. Lin, don't shy away from medical treatment. Have you read it?"

Lin Qiu: "Well, it's not a serious illness. It's been a long time." His mind flashed the apron with blue background and white flowers, and the woman's thick lips, and he couldn't help shivering again.

"It's okay, I'm a little cold."

Hearing this, Jiang Yi immediately tore off his coat and put it on Lin Qiu's body.The clear and warm fragrance from Jiang Yi's body immediately surrounded Lin Qiu, and he instantly felt relieved.

"Don't bear it by yourself, okay?"

Lin Qiu looked at Jiang Yi and nodded.

Jiang Yi carried Lin Qiu back to Emerald Villa.Along the way, Lin Qiu was a little sick, and he put his coat on and closed his eyes on the co-pilot to rest his mind.

Jiang Yi's big run slowed down, and they saw a black Bentley Mulsanne parked at the gate of Jiang's house from a distance.Jiang Yi muttered: "Who is this? The old man bought a new car again?" He was about to get out of the car, but found that Lin Qiu stopped and did not move for a long time.

Jiang Yi followed Lin Qiu's eyes, and his eyes fell on the Bentley.

"Mr. Lin, do you know this car?"

Lin Qiu came back to his senses, lowered his eyes and unbuttoned his seat belt. "I suddenly remembered something else. I'll go back by myself first."

"Don't. Then, shall I take you back first?"

"No need. I'll be fine by myself."

Jiang Yi didn't know why Lin Qiu suddenly changed his temper, as if he had put on a cold and hard armor again.There was only the sound of a car starting, and the Bentley drove out slowly, honked twice as it passed them, and lowered the windows.

A handsome and dignified face was revealed.There was always a slight smile on Ling Chuan's face, and those eyes were as deep as sinking abysses.He looked at Jiang Yi and nodded politely, but the greeting on his lips was pun-inspired.

He said, "Long time no see."

Lin Qiu's back was stiff, but like a weathered dry stone, it was crumbling.

Jiang Yi also said politely: "Mr. Ling, long time no see."

Ling Chuan said: "Come to visit Mr. Jiang today. I have heard about Mr. Jiang's character for a long time, and he really deserves his reputation. Unfortunately, I have other arrangements today, so I can't catch up with Captain Jiang. Let's make an appointment next time."

"Mr. Ling has a lot of things to do every day, so I won't delay you. Have a good trip."

Ling Chuan nodded with a smile, closed the car window, and drove away slowly.

Jiang Yi finished this pretentious social interaction, and frowned as soon as he closed the window.

"I've heard about my grandpa's character for a long time? I've heard about that old man's embarrassment for a long time! Why did he come suddenly?" Jiang Yizheng muttered, but when he turned his head, he found that Lin Qiu had been silent, as if he had turned into air.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin? You are really tired. I'll take you back right away, so you can take a good rest."

Lin Qiu, who had been silent for a long time, turned his head and looked deeply at Jiang Yi: "Do you believe me?"

Jiang Yi, do you believe me?It's not about believing with conclusive evidence and grounds, but when I'm accused by thousands of people, when the evidence is conclusive but stabs at me like a sword, will you still believe me?Unconditional, groundless, but just because of me, do you believe me?

Jiang Yi was taken aback.He looked into Lin Qiu's extremely serious eyes, and for some reason, a distressed feeling rose in his chest as if he had been ravaged and torn apart.

"I believe in you." His words were slow and solemn, like a sacred stone that prevented the world from breaking and restrained the dying sky, firmly pressed on Lin Qiu's heart.

"Lin Qiu, I trust you, don't worry."
