The little beauty I teased has grown up

When Huo Zhou and Luo Qinghuai came out of the police station, they saw Huo's father, Huo's mother, and Luo's mother waiting by the roadside.

It's already winter, the temperature is very low at night, and the police station is just in the air, the adults are almost freezing, shivering in the cold wind.

The two children were full of guilt, and Huo Zhou didn't even dare to look up at his parents.

Huo's father went to stop the car, Huo's mother rubbed the heads of Huo Zhou and Luo Qinghuai respectively, and said with a smile, "It's fine."

There was nothing to say all the way, and after returning to Peking University, Huo Zhou and Luo Qinghuai went home respectively.

Huo Zhou came out of the shower, saw Huo's mother took a bag of red beans and put them on the table to choose, and was at a loss: "Mom, what are you doing? Do you want red bean soup?"

Huo's mother carefully selected plump red beans and put them into a red cloth bag: "I'm going to bring you bad luck, put this under the pillow later. I'll find some grapefruit leaves to boil water for you to bathe in tomorrow... ..."

These are all rumors that can get rid of bad luck, just for psychological comfort.Huo Zhou would never believe it, and even laughed at it.

Today he couldn't laugh, instead his nose was sore and he wanted to cry.

Huo's mother may not just believe this, but she is really worried about Huo Zhou, so she would rather believe it.

"What expression do you have?" Mother Huo looked up at Huo Zhou, "I'll tell you, young people, don't believe in evil. It turns out that your Aunt Liu was just like that. You were always unlucky for a while, and then..."

Huo Zhou walked over, hugged Huo's mother's arm and acted like a baby: "I believe it. Thank you, mother."

Huo's mother was a little surprised, but then felt relieved, patted him lightly, and handed him the packed red bean bag: "You take it in by yourself, press it under the pillow, don't damage it."

Just as Huo Zhou picked it up, someone knocked on the door.

Papa Huo, who was sitting on the sofa, went to open the door.

Luo Qinghuai stood timidly at the door.

In the past few years, Luo Qinghuai has come to Huo Zhou's house countless times, and he almost regards this place as his half home. Although he is always very polite, he no longer feels restrained.

Today, it was obvious that the sensitive Luo Qinghuai felt that he had brought trouble to Huo Zhou's family, so he hesitated to enter the door.

"Qinghuai? It's just in time, come in quickly." Papa Huo reacted quickly and pulled Luo Qinghuai in with a smile, "Your aunt has something for you."

When Luo Qinghuai entered the door, he looked for Huo Zhou first, and when he saw the cloth bag in his hand and the red beans on the table, his face turned pale uncontrollably.

He also understood what it was doing.

Of course, he wouldn't blame Huo's father and Huo's mother, but he just felt that he was that bad luck. If it wasn't for him, Huo Zhou wouldn't have gone to the police station innocently.

"Come here quickly." Huo's mother took out another red cloth bag from her pocket, which was already full of red beans, "I also told Zhou Zhou to bring it to you tomorrow, and now you can take it yourself. Put it in the bag when you go to bed at night." Under the pillow, you won’t encounter that kind of psychosis in the future. My brother let it go, so you should let it go too.”

Luo Qinghuai's eyes immediately turned red, and he bowed at ninety degrees to Huo's father and mother, "I'm sorry."

He felt that he had implicated Huo Zhou and made Huo's parents frightened, so he came here to apologize to them.

It doesn't matter even if he is disgusted and scolded, he is still grateful.

But Huo's father and Huo's mother didn't dislike him, let alone scold him. Instead, they still remembered to help him get rid of bad luck. Luo Qinghuai was moved and sad.

"What is this for?" Huo's mother quickly pulled Luo Qinghuai up, lovingly rubbing his head, "It's not your fault, don't blame yourself. You are very brave, Zhou Zhou is also very brave, you should all be praised .”

Luo Qinghuai was speechless.

Mother Huo took out a box of chocolates and handed it to Huo Zhou: "It's for you."

Huo Zhou happily opened the box, first picked one and fed it to Luo Qinghuai, then stuffed another one for his parents, and finally it was his turn.

The chocolate is very sweet, but not greasy, and has a clear fragrance. Huo Zhou's eyes lit up: "Is this the kind I ate at grandma's last time? Didn't she give Huo Jiang all of it?"

Up to now, Huo Zhou is still the most inconspicuous child in the Huo family. If there are good things in the grandma's house, they are still given to the eldest and third child first.Huo Zhou still didn't have a share of the chocolate last time.

However, Huo Jiang admired Luo Qinghuai more and more. He took the chocolate and remembered to save some for Luo Qinghuai.

Luo Qinghuai would naturally give it to Huo Zhou, so Huo Zhou also got it.

"Well, that's the kind." Papa Huo said, "A colleague of the company brought it back from a business trip abroad."

When Huo Zhou heard this, he said to Luo Qinghuai childishly: "Look, the ones bought abroad are better than Huo Jiang's."

Luo Qinghuai nodded: "Well, this one is more delicious."

Huo Zhou stuffed all the boxes together to Luo Qinghuai: "It's all for you."

Naturally, Luo Qinghuai didn't want it, and the two gave way to each other.

Mother Huo couldn't stand it anymore: "Is there any difference between you two?"

That's true, Huo Zhou laughed, no longer forced.

After talking for a while, Luo Qinghuai wanted to go home.

Huo Zhou looked at Huo's mother and blinked: "Mom, I'll take Huaibao back."

Mother Huo said helplessly, "Go."

Luo Qinghuai was embarrassed: "It's so close, there's no need to send it off."

Huo Zhou couldn't help but dragged him out, before saying, "I'll go to your house to sleep."

What he was thinking was that Luo Qinghuai was frightened today, and he might have nightmares again tonight, and he could still coax him to sleep together.

Luo Qinghuai didn't know what to think of, her body stiffened in an instant, and she walked with her hands and feet.

Seeing his strange expression, Huo Zhou suddenly reacted: "Oh, do you have something to tell your mother, then I'll send you to the door and come back."

He had forgotten that Mother Luo must have been terrified too.

And with so many things happening, Luo Qinghuai must have a lot to say to Luo's mother, and it may not be convenient for him to listen.

"No, no, no." Luo Qinghuai hastily held Huo Zhou's arm tightly, for fear that he would just leave, "We're done talking."

Are you done talking?

It's time for him to take a shower, and the talk is over?

Although he always knew that Luo Qinghuai and Luo's mother didn't communicate much, Huo Zhou was still surprised.

While talking, the two had arrived at Luo Qinghuai's house.

Mother Luo's eyes were a little red, she must have cried, but she didn't cry too much.

And her expression was very calm. Seeing Huo Zhou was slightly surprised, she greeted Huo Zhou quickly and gently: "Zhou Zhou is here? Thank you very much today. Your parents didn't scold you, did they?"

Luo's mother usually gives people an image of being gentle and timid. Her small stall often encounters some small and small troubles. Luo Qinghuai has made more appearances than her. Everyone thinks that she is a weak person.

But today, Huo Zhou suddenly felt that Mother Luo might not be that weak, she just hid it very deeply.

"They didn't scold me, they praised me for being brave." Huo Zhou said with a smile, "Don't worry, Auntie, Huaibao will protect you in the future, Uncle Police will protect you, and I will protect you too, no one will bully you again. "

Luo's mother was stunned for two seconds, then showed a gentle smile: "Thank you Zhouzhou, you are such a good boy."

Luo Qinghuai said at the right time: "Mom, brother will sleep with me tonight."

Luo's mother was a little surprised, but she didn't say much: "Did Zhou Zhou take a bath? I'll go and boil hot water for you."

"I've already washed it." Huo Zhou entered Luo Qinghuai's bedroom familiarly, "Huaibao, wash it."

He thought, maybe Luo Qinghuai and Luo's mother still have something to say, he has to be conscious and give them time and space.

But not long after, Luo Qinghuai came in after taking a shower.

His hair was still dripping with water, and his face, which had been pale for a whole day, was finally steamed pink and tender. One of the buttons of his pajamas was undone, and half of his delicate collarbone was hidden.

Huo Zhou had the urge to step forward and peel off Luo Qinghuai's pajamas.

He hurriedly looked away and saw the blower on the bedside: "Come here, Huaibao, I'll blow dry your hair."

Luo Qinghuai took a towel and wiped it casually: "Don't blow it."

"Come here quickly." Huo Zhou pulled Luo Qinghuai over, turned on the blower and yelled at him, "If you don't blow it dry, you will have a headache when you sleep, stand still and don't move."

His slender fingers inserted into the top of Luo Qinghuai's head, gently brushing away the wet hair.

His fingertips ran across his scalp, which made people feel palpitating. Luo Qinghuai let his heart beat wildly under the loud blowing of the blower, and obediently lowered his head to facilitate Huo Zhou's movements.

The boy's hair was short and dried quickly. Huo Zhou let go of his hand regretfully.

"Show me." Huo Zhou slid his fingers down and lifted Luo Qinghuai's face.

The fingertips were hot to the touch, and Luo Qinghuai's face had turned into a red apple.

"Are you hot?" Huo Zhou let go of his fingers, "Is the blower too hot? Why didn't you say it?"

Luo Qinghuai coughed dryly: "Go to sleep."

After speaking, he climbed into bed first, and carefully stuffed the cloth bag containing red beans under the pillow.

Huo Zhou put away the blower, turned off the light, and climbed into bed.

Luo Qinghuai's bed was a small single bed, the two of them slept a bit crowded, so they could only stick together.

Although there was no skin-to-skin contact, the arms were still on fire.

The quiet atmosphere is most suitable for the growth of ambiguity, and the heartbeats of both of them can't help but rise up, one after another in the dark night, like a competition.

Huo Zhou was feeling uncomfortable in his hands and feet, when Luo Qinghuai spoke.

"Brother, what do you mean by the truth you said today?"

At the police station today, Luo Qinghuai had some reservations and didn't say anything specific. Huo Zhou just wanted to ask him about the past.

He told what he knew, and only concealed the fact that Papa Huo got Luo Qinghuai to study in school.

After hearing this, Luo Qinghuai said: "So, Uncle Huo helped me find the school, right?"

Huo Zhou was startled: "How do you know?"

"I guessed it." Luo Qinghuai chuckled, "However, your reaction shows that I guessed it right."

Huo Zhou: "... Huai Bao, you have become bad."

Luo Qinghuai laughed again, and said, "It's not an unreasonable guess. I met Uncle Huo before I moved to Peking University."

"Ah?" Huo Zhou was surprised again, "When?"

"When my grandma died." Luo Qinghuai's voice sank, "Aren't you curious about who Gao Yushu is? He was the murderer of my grandma."

Luo Qinghuai seemed to have returned to six years ago.

After his father died, no one cared how Luo Qinghuai's family was doing. They became synonymous with crime, were bullied, and were forced to move to the grandmother's house in the countryside.

But this kind of evasion did not make those rumors dissipate, and even spread to the countryside. Luo Qinghuai's family was still the target of malicious attacks by others.

One day, a drunk man broke in and smashed the house into a mess.

This man is Gao Yushu.He was originally an employee of the laboratory, but he has not found a better job since he was fired.The rest of the family disliked him, scolded him, said he was useless, and even the children stopped kissing him.

Gao Yushu felt that all of this was Luo Qinghuai's father's fault, so he went to Luo Qinghuai's house, hoping to gain some benefits, and smashed the furniture to vent his anger.

Luo Qinghuai's grandmother sent a white-haired person to a black-haired person. She was already suffering and desperate, and she was tired of being pointed at by her neighbors every day.

Grandma Luo fought Gao Yushu desperately.

Gao Yu was out of breath when he was drunk, so he picked up a brick and slapped it on Luo Nai's head.

Blood smeared all over his face in an instant, Luo Qinghuai watched grandma fall down and never got up again.

According to the forensic autopsy report, Grandma Luo's real cause of death was cerebral infarction.

Moreover, it was Grandma Luo who moved first.When Gao Yushu wanted to give up and run away, Grandma Luo continued to beat him and refused to let him go.

Anyway, in the end, Gao Yushu was only sentenced to four years in prison.

He did not do well in prison, and was sentenced to two more years before being released recently.

During Gao Yushu's imprisonment, his wife divorced him and took their children away.

After he was released from prison, his parents were unwilling to recognize him.

Gao Yushu, who has nothing, has become more and more distorted. He believes that all the tragedies in life are thanks to Luo Qinghuai's father, so he relies on Luo Qinghuai's family.

In fact, before today, he had come to harass Luo Qinghuai's mother for a week.

Mother Luo didn't want Luo Qinghuai to worry, so she kept silent.

"It's disgusting." Huo Zhou clenched his fist and waved it wildly, regretting that he didn't hit Gao Yushu more times before.

Luo Qinghuai said: "I met Uncle Huo when grandma died."

At that time, little Luo Qinghuai was holding the bloody brick, and countless sinful thoughts arose in his heart.

Papa Huo happened to pass by and reported the crime for him. He didn't know who Luo Qinghuai was until the police investigated.

Not long after, Luo Qinghuai received an invitation to enroll in the attached primary school.

So, the mother and son moved to Peking University. When he knew that Huo's father was the deputy director of the factory, Luo Qinghuai guessed that he was helping.It's just that Huo's father never mentioned it, and acted as if he didn't know him.Luo Qinghuai didn't know if speaking out would bring trouble to Papa Huo, so no one said anything.

Huo Zhou was very distressed. He thought it would be miserable for Luo Qinghuai to lose his father since he was a child, but he didn't expect his grandma to live here.

He turned over and hugged Luo Qinghuai into his arms, and comforted him: "Don't worry, your father's case is being re-investigated recently, and the truth will be revealed soon."

Luo Qinghuai smelled the faint fragrance of Huo Zhou's body, and felt a little distracted: "Yes."

Huo Zhou patted Luo Qinghuai's back and suddenly felt something was wrong.

Hearing that his father's case will be re-investigated, why did Luo Qinghuai react so calmly?

Huo Zhou thought for a while and asked in surprise, "Huaibao, you didn't know about this long ago, did you?"

Luo Qinghuai nodded: "I know, mom has been trying to find ways to help dad reverse the case these years."

Huo Zhou was stunned.

He finally understood why Mother Luo was always too busy to take care of Luo Qinghuai, and why Luo Qinghuai's family was so poor.

In this way, the coincidence of the timing of overturning the case was not really intentional, was it?

"So, did you deliberately wait for my father to resign before re-investigating?" Huo Zhou asked.

"It's mostly a coincidence." Luo Qinghuai said, "I just knew that my uncle was going to resign, and I handed over the evidence to the police a few days late."

Mother Luo didn't believe anyone, but Luo Qinghuai believed that Father Huo had nothing to do with what happened back then.

Moreover, resignation will not affect the investigation of the case, but once the investigation starts, Papa Huo will not be able to leave so easily.

Huo Zhou grasped the point of his words: "You? Evidence?"

Luo Qinghuai pressed a little closer to Huo Zhou's chest, seeming very cold: "I found half of the suspected 'Ziman' equation in this home."

Huo Zhou was at a loss: "What is Ziman?"

"A kind of drug." Luo Qinghuai said, "When my father died, the forensic doctor found that he was taking this kind of drug."

Huo Zhou was dumbfounded, and almost jumped up in shock for a long time: "You said, this, this was found in this house, so..."

"Do you know why so many people were involved in the bombing back then?" Luo Qinghuai understood Huo Zhou's shock, "Because the police detected prohibited drugs at the scene, but the two cases were tried separately, and the leader of the 306 factory used my father's case Covered up the case of illegal drugs, and fired all the insiders. Long Fan, the deputy factory director at the time, said that he took the blame and resigned, but after he resigned, he became the director of another pharmaceutical factory in a blink of an eye, and his life was much better than before.”

Huo Zhou understood a little bit: "You suspect Uncle Long... Dalong's father? So, renting his house is also intentional?"

He remembered that when Luo Qinghuai first moved here, he came in and saw that the walls inside were all pasted with old newspapers, and he felt strange at that time.

"My mother doesn't believe that my father will commit suicide, let alone that he will take drugs, so I have been trying to reverse the case for him. Over the years, we have also collected a lot of information. We suspect that the illegal drug at that time may be 'Ziman'. But the test What I got was only a little ingredient, and I was fooled by the factory with another prohibited drug with similar ingredients.” Luo Qinghuai said, “The reason why I agreed to transfer here is that my mother wanted to be with me. The people in the factory are familiar. Of course, we chose to rent this room on purpose, but we didn’t think that we would really get evidence.”

Otherwise, even if Papa Huo helps, Mama Luo doesn't need to bring Luo Qinghuai here to study sadly.

Huo Zhou finally understood.

Mother Luo lived in the courtyard of Peking University in order to obtain information.Therefore, she set up a stall to sell food, on the one hand to support her family, and on the other hand, it was convenient to eavesdrop on other people's conversations.There will always be traces of what happened. She collects information bit by bit, and she will always come across something useful.

This can also explain why she always looks weak and cowardly, because who cares about a weak single woman?Living in the Peking University Courtyard for so many years, although I have been bullied a little from time to time, generally speaking, it has been smooth.

If it weren't for Luo Qinghuai's cuteness and good grades, the mother and son would almost be a neglected family.

Such a Luo mother must have a very strong psychological quality. No wonder she encountered such a terrible thing today, and her emotions only fluctuated a little.

Mother Luo sacrificed a lot in order to defend her husband, which was not easy.

It's just that Luo Qinghuai was wronged in the end.

Mother Luo probably wouldn't say much about these things.When Luo Qinghuai was a child, there must have been many things that she couldn't understand.

Such a small Luo Qinghuai, how uneasy and scared would he feel?He still has to force himself to grow up as soon as possible, knowing how to read and fight at the same time, he really endured too much.

Huo Zhou hugged Luo Qinghuai even tighter, and rubbed his chin lightly on the top of his head: "It's all right now, with the evidence, the bad guys will get their retribution soon."

Luo Qinghuai breathed heavily and tried to divert his attention: "The evidence is not enough now, we still have to look at the follow-up investigation."

Huo Zhou thought of what he said about finding the equation, and was a little curious: "How do you know Ziman's equation? And where did you find it?"

"I don't know, that's why I said it was suspected." Luo Qinghuai paused, and told Huo Zhou the truth, "Actually, this is a game."

When Mother Luo first moved here, she put away everything in the house, even a piece of waste paper.She knew that there was little hope, but she still thought about what happened. What if there was any evidence?

Luo Qinghuai's best subject is chemistry, and he has always wanted to understand what is going on with "Ziman".

Of course he doesn't have that ability now, but he accidentally discovered an equation in a primary school Chinese book.At first glance, the handwriting is that of an adult, and it was printed on carbon paper, but it is actually a little unclear.

Maybe carbon paper was inserted in the book, and the writer didn't know it, so it left traces.

This is probably destined in the dark.

Luo Qinghuai didn't know this equation, he just asked Mother Luo to show it to experts with the attitude of not letting go of any clues.

Experts determined that it was Ziman's equation.

However, this alone is not evidence.

Therefore, they deliberately released a little news.

If there is really a problem with Long Fan, he knows that the police will re-investigate the case back then, and that he has found the equation at home, so he will definitely come back to check.

The appearance of the big dragon today has already explained the problem, but he did not expect Gao Yushu to appear suddenly.

No wonder Luo Qinghuai rushed home as soon as he heard "Dalong" today.

"Then we are at the police station tonight, did someone enter your house?" Huo Zhou became nervous.

"Come in." Luo Qinghuai couldn't hide the excitement in his tone, "But they didn't find anything, and they will definitely come again. Don't worry, we have contacted the police, and now the police are monitoring my house 24 hours a day."

Huo Zhou heaved a sigh of relief. With the protection of the police uncle, he no longer worried about the safety of Luo Qinghuai's mother and son. By the way, Gao Yushu's troubles were also resolved together.

However, thinking about it now, Gao Yushu's finding faults might have been provoked by others.

"That's really great." Huo Zhou was very happy for Luo Qinghuai, "The truth will be revealed soon."

Luo Qinghuai and Luo's mother will also be freed.

Luo Qinghuai finally breathed a sigh of relief seeing that Huo Zhou was not angry because he had kept the matter from him.

Both of them were frightened today, and it was very late again. After not talking, they hugged each other and fell asleep soon.

Luo Qinghuai had another nightmare.

A nightmare that lasted for eight years, I had it so many times that even in the dream, Luo Qinghuai was a little conscious.

In the dream, Luo Qinghuai was less than six years old, and the happiest thing every day was seeing his father come home.Because Dad dotes on Luo Qinghuai very much, he will call him "Huaibao", bring him delicious snacks, and buy toys he has never seen before.

There was a thunderstorm that day, Luo Qinghuai waited for his father to wake up after falling asleep, but he still didn't see anyone.

He was still not afraid of thunder at this time, so he got up and opened the door, wanting to welcome his father home.

Don't open the door, don't open the door, Luo Qinghuai hinted to herself in the dream.

He knew that when the door was opened, he would see a corpse that had been washed white by the rain, his eyes wide open in despair and confusion, as if he was asking why the law of heaven was unfair.

That was the father, the father who would never be called "Huaibao" again.

Luo Qinghuai had seen it too many times, and he didn't want to.

But the self in the dream was out of control, and slowly opened the door.

"Huaibao!" Huo Zhou ran over from nowhere, blocked the door, and covered Luo Qinghuai's eyes, "It's raining outside, don't go out, let's go inside."

Huo Zhou pulled Luo Qinghuai into the house, turned around and closed the door.

Luo Qinghuai glanced outside from between his fingers, the ground outside the gate was clean and there was nothing.

Luo Qinghuai suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, like a mountain weighing on her heart finally moved away.

When Huo Zhou was half asleep and half awake, he heard Luo Qinghuai murmuring in his arms: "Brother..."

His tone rose, as if he had encountered something very happy.

Huo Zhou kissed Luo Qinghuai's head in a daze: "I'm here, go to sleep."
