Chapter 12 Chapter Ten: The Danger Is Hiding in That Old Building

I remember that six months after I was pregnant with Zhang Xiaotiao, my stomach was very bulging.Zhang Wenbo bought me several sets of maternity clothes, but I didn't like them very much.Zhang Wenling had a good relationship with me at that time, and she often came to see me after she knew I was pregnant.Before she came, she always called me to ask me if Mei Ping was at home. If Mei Ping was not at home, she would come, otherwise she would ask me to talk outside.That day, she gave me a set of loose women's military uniforms, saying that such clothes are comfortable to wear during pregnancy.I don't know where she got this old-fashioned military uniform. This military uniform was a rare thing in my childhood. At that time, whoever had a green military uniform like this would be so proud.

I put on the military uniform and it was really comfortable. However, after Mei Ping saw me put on that military uniform, a look of resentment appeared in her eyes.I don't care about her so much, because of my pregnancy, I have become confident.I even talked back to her about some things.I can't be so weak anymore, people respect each other!I don't care about Mei Ping's sarcastic remarks to me, and it doesn't matter if she looks down on me.But, she actually burned my green uniform! Yes, one day, she burned the green uniform I changed to wash!At that time, I didn't know that she burned it. I only knew that the green army uniform was lost when the nanny washed it and dried it in the garden.In fact, losing a set of clothes is nothing at all.However, when someone told me that the green uniform was burned by Mei Ping, my anger rushed to my head!It was the nanny who told me about this. She told me when she left this house and returned to her hometown. She said that she was an honest person, and she was afraid of leaving a bad reputation, because she always thought that I thought she stole the green army uniform.

After the nanny left, I found Mei Ping who was playing the piano: "Why did you burn my clothes? Why do you hate me so much, even the clothes I wear? Why? Am I not pregnant with your grandson? You How could you do this to me!" Mei Ping said coldly: "I didn't invite you into this house! It has nothing to do with me. I don't like you. I really don't like you. Is there any reason for that?" I'm pissed off!If Zhang Molin hadn't pulled me away, I really wanted to pounce on her and tear her apart!It's a wicked old woman, and I believe she cursed at me from the start!I didn't expect to meet such a mother-in-law.My patience is meaningless.I went back to the room alone and cried until Zhang Wenbo came home.I thought Zhang Wenbo would do something.Unexpectedly, he acted as if nothing had happened.I said him, and he said to me like this: "She is my mother, what can I do?" At that time, I really wanted to leave this house!I've always wanted to leave this house, but I never left!I'm really bewildered!

When I talked about this with Zhang Wenling, Zhang Wenling said that this was what she expected.Zhang Wenling and Mei Ping have never been in touch with each other, which seems to have something to do with the green uniform.Zhang Wenling told me about her departure from the Gu mansion.At that time, Zhang Wenling was in love with her current husband.Her husband was a street gangster at the time, a former rebel, wearing an old military uniform all day long.After Mei Ping found out that Zhang Wenling was with him, she asked Zhang Wenling to sever ties with him.Zhang Wenling is a girl with a strong personality, she did not promise her mother.As a result, Mei Ping kicked her out of the house in a fit of anger, and Zhang Wenling severed ties with her...

Teacher Wu Qian never thought of it.Before the final exam, Zhang Xiaotiao would do a bizarre thing in school.It was during the second class in the morning, Zhang Xiaotiao stood up suddenly, and walked towards the door of the classroom, Wu Qian couldn't call him no matter what.Wu Qian had no choice but to follow out. She saw Zhang Xiaotiao climbed up a tree. She didn't know why Zhang Xiaotiao climbed up this tree suddenly.Wu Qian yelled loudly: "Xiaotiao, come down for me! Xiaotiao, do you hear me, come down!" Zhang Xiaotiao seemed not to have heard her cry at all, and continued to climb up.He climbed to the top of the tree in Wu Qian's anxiety, the tree kept shaking, Zhang Xiaotiao might fall from the tree at any time.Wu Qian turned pale with fright, not knowing what to do.Zhang Xiao jumped down for a while and then climbed down from the tree.Wu Qian questioned him: "What's the matter with you, Zhang Xiaotiao!" Zhang Xiaotiao glanced at her and said, "There is clearly a bird's nest in the tree, how could it suddenly disappear?" Wu Qian didn't say anything to Zhang Xiaotiao. , Zhang Xiaotiao ran away like crazy.Wu Qian found Wang Ning, who was usually best friends with Zhang Xiaotiao, and asked her about her situation.Wang Ning was also very puzzled. She said that Zhang Xiaotiao had been avoiding her recently and did not talk to her.

Wu Qian felt that the problem was very serious, and the child would be ruined if it continued like this. It seemed that Zhang Xiaotiao's grades in the final exam this time would definitely not be satisfactory, it would be very dangerous, and if he failed the exam, he would be repeated.Teacher Wu Qian decided to talk to Zhang Xiaotiao's father, Zhang Wenbo, but she called Zhang Wenbo, but Zhang Wenbo didn't answer.Wu Qian called Li Li's cell phone again, but Li Li's cell phone was turned off.In the end, Wu Qian called their home again, but no one answered the phone at home.

Wu Qian sighed, she thought, there must be something wrong with the family, the abnormal behavior of the child, and the relationship with the family is very important!Wu Qian was worried about Zhang Xiaotiao.This child has been doing well in his studies before, and he has a good relationship with his classmates. He is also very caring. When he raised donations for children in the disaster area, he took out more than 200 yuan at a time. He said it was his All savings. But how did Zhang Xiaotiao become what he is now? Wu Qian felt it necessary to go to Zhang Xiaotiao's house for a home visit.But now that the final exam is coming, she is so busy that she is dizzy. Besides, her own daughter is hospitalized with pneumonia, so how can she find time to visit home?

In two days, the university will also have summer vacation.Zhang Wenbo was also very busy.Coupled with the many troublesome things I have encountered recently, I seem to be ten years older all of a sudden. He stood in front of a mirror in the office and looked at himself. Indeed, there were some gray hairs at the temples. These white hairs seemed to grow overnight. He was once proud of his thick black hair.Zhang Wenbo, who was in his prime, saw those white hairs, and felt uneasy and anxious in his heart. Zhang Wenbo was looking at his face worriedly, when a person stood behind him and patted his shoulder with his hand.

Zhang Wenbo was stunned for a while, then exclaimed: "It's you, Ling Yun, why did you come back so soon? I thought I'd have to wait until the holidays to come back! You'll be fine if you come back. What people say!" Li Lingyun smiled and said: "It's time for me to come back. Time is so tight, why don't you come back! By the way, it's lunch time, let's find a place to eat and chat!" Zhang Wenbo said cheerfully: "No problem. I'll treat you at noon, and I'll give you a welcome." Li Lingyun patted him on the shoulder again: "Why is Iron Rooster so generous today, let's go!"

Li Lingyun didn't know that Zhang Wenbo had already regarded him as a life-saving straw. They found a tavern outside the university, found a secluded seat, ordered four dishes, a soup and a bottle of beer, and chatted while eating. Zhang Wenbo simply asked a few words about Ling Yun's situation abroad during this period, and soon got to the point he was going to talk about: "Ling Yun, I'm in big trouble!" Li Lingyun smiled: "I've heard about it, and it's been rumored all over the campus." Zhang Wenbo said: "Yes, now as long as I step into the school gate, I don't know where to put this face, I feel ashamed! Colleagues and students are poking my back and scolding me! These are not the most important Yes, the problem is that Manli doesn't know how to solve it!"

Li Lingyun said: "Yang Ranglai has always harbored evil intentions towards us. He wished that something would happen to us. Now that this problem has arisen, it would be strange if Yang Ranglai didn't spread it around. If this problem is not solved well, once he Bringing this matter to the school's senior management, plus Man Li actually suing or attacking you on the Internet, this matter is really difficult to deal with. Now Yang Ranglai is just waiting to see what happens, of course he hopes that you can't solve this problem well .Did you find Mary?" Zhang Wenbo said: "I am very clear about what you said. I told Manli that she put forward a condition, asking me to give her 200,000 yuan in compensation, and the matter will be over!" Li Lingyun said: "If the problem can be solved with money, it's not too difficult! However, this Man Li really doesn't miss the old feelings, and she is too ruthless!" Zhang Wenbo said: "Yes! How much savings do we poor teachers have? Of course I am willing to give her a sum of money to solve the problem, but where can I raise so much money!" Li Lingyun said: "Look, I don't have much money, so I can't help you at all. I can only give you advice, and it will be troublesome for anyone else! Have you ever asked your mother? Maybe she can help you." Zhang Wenbo said: "Things at home are messed up now, how could she give me money. I approached her, but she had no room for negotiation, so she turned me down straight away. I don't know where she is going to take so much money. go!" Li Lingyun said: "Your mother is really hard-hearted. An old lady like her is really rare. If it were my mother, she would give me any meat I want!" Zhang Wenbo said: "Ling Yun, Manli's deadline is two days away. What should I do? I'm really afraid that she will make a fuss. I really don't know what happened in that article. If I go to court, I might win." It’s not very sexual. You give me an idea, except for money, see if there is any other way. You have always had more ideas than me, so you can make an idea for me!” Li Lingyun said: "Let me think about it, this matter is really difficult! I persuaded you at the time, Man Li is not that easy to deal with, look at the mole in the corner of her eye, it is not a kind Stupid! You are obsessed with ghosts, and you have some kind of teacher-student relationship with her. When you broke up with her, I asked you to give her some money to appease her. In the end, you really did it. You didn’t even visit her when she had a miscarriage You have a heavy responsibility for this matter! I don’t think it’s that easy to calm down. You still don’t believe me, you have to say that Manli understands you. Of course, she will act like a bird when she is close to you, but you It's different to break her heart and abandon her. A woman's hatred is stronger and longer than love, you must always remember this sentence!" Zhang Wenbo said: "Now it is said that the past is an afterthought. I just want to solve the problems that are happening now smoothly! I am really helpless!" Li Lingyun said: "Well, let me talk to her first to see if I can find another way." Zhang Wenbo said: "That's fine, but we need to hurry up and stabilize her before she takes action! Now the initiative is in her hands, and I have the upper hand!" Li Lingyun said: "I will call her in a while to see if she is willing to talk to me." Zhang Wenbo said: "I think it's ok. When we broke up, you were the one who passed the word!" Li Lingyun said: "That was at that time, and now things have changed, and Manli might not give me face anymore. Besides, the situation at that time was different, she wanted to get your information through me. She was really helpless at that time , your information is very important to her, but now, she is no longer the same Manli, we have to reconsider the problem. She knows that we are best friends who wear the same pants, maybe she also has a grudge against me No matter what, I will try my best, as for how the negotiation goes, I can't guarantee it." Zhang Wenbo said: "I am also very clear about what you said, please worry about this matter for me!" Ah Hua went out to buy vegetables that day and did not see Fang Fang.There was an agreement between them that whoever came out first would wait here for the other.However, Ah Hua had been standing under the sycamore tree for more than half an hour, but there was no sign of Fang Fang. Seeing that it was running out of time, Ah Hua went shopping by herself. It was a bit lonely to go shopping alone. As she was walking, she remembered something Fangfang told her. Fangfang said that Mei Ping's building was built by a foreigner in the early days, but after the foreigner left, it was bought by Mei Ping's ex-husband.Fangfang also said mysteriously that when foreigners built buildings in this place, they dug out a corpse from the ground.Ah Hua didn't believe her words, Fang Fang said that the owner of her family said it, and almost everyone in the older generation knew about it.Ah Hua still didn't believe it, so Fangfang said that one day Ah Hua would have time to go to her house and ask the owner of her house to talk to Ah Hua.Ah Hua didn't understand why the owner of Fangfang's house knew so many weird things, so he would really go to her house to have a look someday.If a corpse is dug up in the garden now, Ah Hua will definitely be very scared. How old was this house built? Naturally, Ah Hua is somewhat disapproving, but why did Fangfang tell her about it? Is there any mystery here?Ah Fang didn't think too much about the corpse, she just felt that her situation was getting more and more difficult, and she even had the idea of ​​leaving Mei Ping's house and returning to her hometown.I was on the phone with my mother that day.I cried while talking.Mother asked her if she had been wronged in any way, and Ah Hua said no, she was just homesick.Her mother comforted her, telling her that this is always the case when she is out of the house, to be patient, and told her to be sensible and not to cause trouble for Mei Ping's family. Ah Hua will not tell her mother about her current situation, she is afraid that her mother will worry. These two days, Li Li and Zhang Xiaotiao were at home.There seems to be something wrong with their mother and son, and both of them are very unfriendly to Ah Hua. Li Li ran into her room in the dead of night, looked at her with terrifying eyes, and asked her if she saw the murderer who killed the puppy, and suspected that she did it. Li Li looked like a ghost, and she might pounce on her at any moment and tear her to pieces.After Li Li left, Ah Hua cried alone. Zhang Xiaotiao always looked at him with weird eyes, and Ah Hua felt that this child had been unfriendly to her since she entered this house.Once, he intentionally spilled the broth that A Hua brought to him. The hot broth splashed on A Hua's hands, and immediately blistered, burning and painful for several days.Seeing A Hua's pained appearance, Zhang Xiaotiao pretended nothing had happened, still giggling.Mei Ping said him, but he didn't care. A'hua felt that Zhang Xiaotiao had become more insidious since his disappearance and returned. She was really afraid that Zhang Xiaotiao would harm her, so she tried to avoid Zhang Xiaotiao as much as possible. When Ah Hua came to the vegetable market, when Ah Hua walked to Ah Mao's booth, Ah Mao stopped her: "Ah Hua, come here!" Ah Hua glanced at him. Amao winked at her: "Ah Hua, why didn't Fangfang come shopping with you today?" Ah Hua wanted to ignore him, but felt it was inappropriate, so she walked over and said to Ah Mao, "I don't know why Fangfang didn't come out to buy vegetables today." Amao smiled, showing two canine teeth: "Ah Hua, you are so stupid, don't you know that Fangfang is going to get married soon?" Ah Hua's eyes widened: "I really don't know, Fang Fang never told me." Amao smiled again: "Almost everyone on Chenshan Road knows about it, but you don't?" After hearing Ah Mao's words, Ah Hua was skeptical and very uncomfortable. She told Fang Fang everything in her heart, but Fang Fang still concealed such an important matter from her, and even said that she was a good friend who shared weal and woe!But she felt that this was impossible, and she did not believe that Fangfang would get married so soon. Ah Hua said: "A Mao, you are talking nonsense." Amao shook his head, waved the butcher's knife in his hand solemnly and said, "I'm going to lie to you that I cut off my fingers when cutting meat!" Ah Hua looked at the lock of curly hair on Ah Mao's head trembling, and it seemed that Ah Mao's poisonous oath could not be false, she asked: "A Mao, do you know who Fang Fang married? " Amao laughed out loud: "Ha, it seems that you are really kept in the dark, this is already old news on Chenshan Road! Fangfang and the husband of the family where she is the nanny have already hooked up, and the gentleman is because of this Divorced, now it's about Zhang Luo's marriage!" Ah Hua suddenly remembered that Fang Fang said that she would introduce her to that family as a nanny, and she came to her senses.No wonder she didn't come to buy food today.Ah Hua thought, if she married her master, her status would change, would she still go shopping with her? A Mao said to A Hua: "What are you thinking, do you also want to find someone to marry, haha!" Ah Hua blushed: "A Mao, don't talk nonsense!" At this time, Amao threw a ball of paper on Ahua's vegetable basket. After Ah Hua bought the vegetables, when he walked out of the market, Ah Mao was still gazing at Ah Hua's back in the crowd. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his thick Adam's apple slipped. Ah Hua walked out of the vegetable market, still thinking about Fangfang's getting married.What about Fangfang's boyfriend in her hometown?Will he be heartbroken? Ah Hua felt sad for that poor man. When Ah Hua changed another hand basket, she found the ball of paper that Ah Mao threw in. Ah Hua put down the vegetable basket by the sidewalk, reached out and took out the paper ball, and slowly unfolded it. In the paper ball was written a sentence that made A'hua blush, her ears were red, her heart was jumping in fear: "Ahua, I like you, can you be my girlfriend?" This sentence was signed by Amao, the young man who smelled of greasy pork all over his body. Ah Hua hurriedly tore up the note, crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the trash can on the side of the road. It's so hot!Ah Hua was sweating all over. Fangfang is right, Amao is really interested in her!Ah Hua's heart was in a panic and she didn't know what to do. Zhang Xiaotiao's room was extremely dull.He sat on the bed, wrung his hands together vigorously, and looked at the leaves of the camphor trees in the garden outside the window. There was no wind, and the leaves were motionless, quietly enduring the torment of the poisonous sun. Li Li was sitting on the chair by the bed, her face was pale, she was wearing a pair of white trousers and a light blue T-shirt today, her long hair was casually draped over her shoulders.After peeking at her son Zhang Xiaotiao's diary that day, she fled Zhang Xiaotiao's room hastily. She wanted to have a good talk with Zhang Xiaotiao. Today, Zhang Xiaotiao ran back from school not long after he went to school.Li Li had a vague thought in her heart: "If her son Zhang Xiaotiao killed Dalmatians, how would she treat her son?" Li Li said, "Little Tiao, why are you playing truant again?" Zhang Xiaotiao looked out the window, his tone was very flat: "Why don't you come back after the exam?" Li Li said again: "The exam is over so soon?" Zhang Xiaotiao said, "Soon?" Li Li said, "Xiaotiao, mom wants to know what you think now?" Zhang Xiaotiao said, "What do you think? Is there anything to think about?" Li Li sighed, these days, she had never talked to anyone so calmly.She was silent, and found it so difficult to communicate with her son, who kept staring out the window, what was he looking at!What caught his attention? Zhang Xiaotiao said suddenly: "If I die, will you cry?" Li Li didn't know how to answer her son's question. Zhang Xiaotiao went on to say: "I'm dead, will you be as sad as if I'm dead?" Li Li still didn't know how to answer her son's question. Zhang Xiaotiao said again: "I'm dead, will you bury me under the camphor tree like a little bit?" Li Li suddenly realized that it was the puppy who took away Zhang Xiaotiao's maternal love little by little. If Zhang Xiaotiao killed the puppy, there would be a reliable basis for his motive. Li Li's head was swollen. Zhang Xiaotiao said: "You suspect that I killed Diandian, but you have no proof. Do you know that Ah Hua hates Diandian? I saw with my own eyes that she tied a rope around Diandian's neck once, and Diandian kept screaming." , she is cursing you! Ah Hua said you are a wicked woman." Li Li couldn't listen anymore, Zhang Xiaotiao's words seemed to come from hell, controlling her emotions, making her want to grab her hair and pluck it out one by one. Her son Zhang Xiaotiao seemed to be a different person, not like her son at all. Did he want to absolve himself of the guilt and blame the little nanny Ahua? But Zhang Xiaotiao's words made her suspicious again, A Hua might also be the murderer who killed Diandian.Because A Hua and Mei Ping get along very well, Li Li dislikes A Hua in every aspect, makes things difficult for A Hua, and never gives A Hua a good look. Li Li's eyes were bloodshot from Zhang Xiaotiao's words, she stood up and walked out of Zhang Xiaotiao's room. Zhang Xiaotiao sneered, and muttered to himself: "Mom, I won't shed a single tear when you die!" Ever since Li Li found out about Zhang Wenbo and Man Li, Zhang Xiaotiao became Li Li's punching bag for a while. One night, Li Li came to Zhang Xiaotiao's room, looked at the sleeping Zhang Xiaotiao, and said ferociously. He stretched out his hands and grabbed Zhang Xiaotiao's neck. She wanted to strangle this crystallization of her marriage with Zhang Wenbo. If Zhang Wenbo hadn't arrived, Zhang Xiaotiao might have died at Li Li's hands that night. Although the next day, Li Li hugged Zhang Xiaotiao and said tearfully, "Son, forgive mom, mom is confused!" But Zhang Xiaotiao made such a mark in his heart: "Mother might kill me!" Soon, Li Li had a little Dalmatians, three years ago. Zhang Xiaotiao suddenly heard a woman's voice, his face softened, and he recovered the innocence he should have at that age, he climbed out of bed, walked out the door of the room, he looked at the attic on the fourth floor, and Looking at his mother's bedroom with the door closed, he seemed to hear someone crying. The woman's voice that Zhang Xiaotiao heard was not his mother Li Li's, but his aunt Zhang Wenling's. It seemed that Zhang Wenling was his mother, and hearing Zhang Wenling's voice would restore his innocence and happiness. This point surprised Mei Ping, who was drinking tea in the living room, how could Zhang Xiaotiao be as good as Zhang Wenling, they were destined! After Zhang Xiaotiao was born, Mei Ping could not be said to be good or bad to this child, it was just so flat, she couldn't treat her grandson like other grandmas, she had her own heart.Mei Ping believes that fate is very important. Some people, even if they have shared the same bed with you for a lifetime, even if they were born and raised by you, cannot communicate with each other, so there is no fate. In Mei Ping's life, there is only one person who is destined to be with her. That happy person has always been buried in her heart. She has never wavered in her love for him. It is precisely because of this that Zhang Molin often feels abnormal pain , out of love there is a kind of hatred. When Zhang Xiaotiao went down to the living room on the second floor, he saw Zhang Wenling who was taking Zhang Molin home from the hospital. Zhang Xiaotiao rushed forward, took Zhang Wenling's hand, and called out affectionately: "Auntie! I miss you so much." Zhang Xiaotiao looked very normal at this time, his face was full of sunshine, and people would not think of his other side at all. Zhang Wenling said to him: "I don't want my aunt to come to see me! Call grandpa, grandpa will go home No more greetings." Zhang Xiaotiao yelled sweetly to Zhang Molin who was about to enter the room: "Grandpa!" Zhang Molin grinned, squeezed out an ugly smile and walked into the room. Zhang Wenling also took Zhang Xiaotiao's hand and walked into Zhang Molin's room. Mei Ping drank her tea calmly.Looking at everything in front of him, it was like watching a play.She wondered why Zhang Wenling didn't yell at her, maybe it was Zhang Xiaotiao's appearance that made Zhang Wenling swallow the curse words back. Zhang Wenling's arrival made A'hua sneak into the room from the kitchen, locked the door behind her, and sat on the edge of the bed, not daring to speak out.She always felt that Zhang Molin's illness had something to do with her. If she hadn't bought garlic for Zhang Molin, Zhang Molin would not have carried half a sack of garlic back in a fit of anger. will get sick. Ah Hua had a premonition that what would happen after Zhang Molin came back.This home filled Ah Hua with a terrible premonition. After Zhang Wenling took Zhang Xiaotiao's hand and entered Zhang Molin's bedroom, they saw Zhang Molin lying down and looking under the bed, looking for something. Zhang Wenling said, "Dad, what are you looking for?" Zhang Molin stood up and said repeatedly: "I didn't find anything, I didn't find anything!" Zhang Wenling said: "Go to bed and lie down, and you must have a good rest. At such an age, you should take care of yourself and don't be like a child." Then she said to Zhang Xiaotiao: "Xiaotiao, you are at home on vacation, and you have to take care of yourself. Good grandpa!" Zhang Xiaotiao said obediently: "Auntie, don't worry. I'm the best for grandpa. Grandpa, don't you think so?" Zhang Molin said again: "Yes, yes!" Zhang Molin's complexion is not very good, it seems that he has something on his mind after returning home. Zhang Wenling said: "Dad, don't think too much, take care of the doctor at home, if you can't do it, just move to live with me, my house is spacious, I can take care of you!" Zhang Wenling said this very loudly, apparently for Mei Ping who was drinking tea in the living room. Zhang Wenling took out a glass bottle full of medicinal wine from her bag, put it on the table, and said to Zhang Molin, "This is the medicinal wine I made for you. It is specially used to treat arthritis. I heard that it is very effective. It is your son-in-law." I specially found a prescription made by an old Chinese doctor, which contains pine knots, blood cloves, safflower, etc. I will send it to you when it is used up. Let me teach you how to use it. Before you go to bed every day, apply the medicinal wine on your knees and gently Gently rub it for five minutes, then apply it with a dry towel, and put a hot water bottle on the dry towel for ten minutes. Also, it should be noted that you must not massage the knee with gravity. Remember, Dad !" Zhang Molin nodded and said, "Remember, go ahead, I want to lie down for a while!" Zhang Wenling said: "Okay then, I'm leaving, you must pay attention to your health, Dad!" Zhang Wenling took Zhang Xiaotiao's hand and walked out of the room. Zhang Wenling said to Zhang Xiaotiao: "Xiaotiao, what would you like to eat for lunch, please treat me well!" Zhang Xiaotiao said, "The old place!" Zhang Wenling understood, smiled and said, "Okay, old place, let's go to McDonald's!" After finishing speaking, Zhang Wenling dragged the elated Zhang Xiao to jump downstairs. Mei Ping drank tea on her own, and didn't take them seriously at all. When Zhang Wenling and Zhang Xiaotiao went downstairs, Li Li stood at the stairs on the third floor, watching her son being taken away by Zhang Wenling indifferently. She heard breathing again. There is a McDonald's on Chenshan Road, not far from Mei Ping's home, and it takes five minutes to walk east.Zhang Wenling and Zhang Xiaotiao talked and laughed along the way, people who didn't know would really think they were a mother and son. When Zhang Wenling was sitting by the floor-to-ceiling windows, smiling and watching Zhang Xiaotiao eating chicken wings while talking to him, Li Li floated past from outside like a ghost, and she even threw a complicated message towards them. Deep glance. Zhang Wenling and Zhang Xiaotiao didn't notice Li Li, they talked too much. Zhang Wenling said, "Xiaotiao, tell Auntie, why did you leave school that day?" After Zhang Xiaotiao came back, Zhang Wenling went to the hospital to see him, but did not talk to him in detail.Zhang Xiaotiao would tell Zhang Wenling many things that he would not tell his parents. Zhang Xiaotiao said: "Do you know how much our head teacher hates me? She often scolds me for no reason. That day too, I just looked out the window, and she said I didn't pay attention to the lecture, and even hit me with a chalk tip. Me, it hurt me so much! It’s not counted, and I was punished to stand! I couldn’t take it anymore and ran away!” Zhang Wenling said: "How could this teacher be like this? He is clearly bullying my Xiaotiao! Xiaotiao, don't worry, I will give you this anger sooner or later and teach her severely!" Zhang Xiaotiao said: "I just want to teach her a harsh lesson!" When Zhang Xiaotiao said this, a trace of treachery flashed across Zhang Xiaotiao's eyes. Zhang Wenling said, "Xiaotiao, please tell me the details of what happened that day." Zhang Xiaotiao hesitated for a moment and said, "Auntie, I get scared after thinking about it!" Zhang Wenling said: "Xiaotiao, aunt is here, what are you afraid of!" Zhang Xiaotiao said mysteriously: "Auntie, I told you not to tell anyone!" Zhang Wenling raised her right hand: "I swear, I will never tell anyone what Xiaotiao told my aunt!" Zhang Xiaotiao said: "I left school that day, and stayed alone by the river until night. I wanted to find my aunt, but I left school, afraid that my aunt would scold me if she found out, so I just sat there. .” Zhang Wenling: "Silly boy, you must come to Auntie for anything in the future, and Auntie will help you solve the problem! If I know that the teacher bullies you, I will go to her that day!" Zhang Xiaotiao said: "It was very late, so I went home. I was very hungry, and I really wanted to go home. That day, I came home too late, and the lights in the building were turned off. I was afraid of them If you scold me, you don’t dare to ring the doorbell, and I don’t have the key to open the door, and I’m alone outside the iron gate.” Zhang Wenling said: "Poor child, why are people in that big family so selfish, they can sleep well!" Zhang Xiaotiao said: "I was crying and crying when I heard the sound of the iron door opening, and I saw a person standing inside the door." Zhang Wenling said nervously, "Who is that?" Zhang Xiaotiao said: "You must not tell others!" Zhang Wenling said: "Xiaotiao, I have already sworn it, I will not tell anyone! Tell me quickly!" Zhang Xiaotiao said, "That's my mother!" Zhang Wenling looked surprised: "Ah! Is it really her?" Zhang Xiaotiao nodded: "It's her, I can see that face clearly, but what I don't understand is why she wore two braids that night, she seemed much younger, she seemed to have put on makeup, and she also Not so fat. She's still wearing a green military uniform like the ones on TV used to wear, with a red armband on the right sleeve." Zhang Wenling's mouth gradually opened wide, and her eyes were also changing: "Is there such a thing?" Zhang Xiaotiao said: "I won't say anything, okay? Auntie. I'm very scared." Zhang Wenling calmed down and said, "Xiaotiao, go on, Auntie is listening, don't be afraid!" Zhang Xiaotiao's voice trembled a little: "I thought my mother would take me upstairs and let me sleep. But she took me down the iron stairs behind the building. My grandmother never let me play on the iron stairs since I was a child. Why? Will mom take me here? Mom took my hand and walked up the iron stairs..." Zhang Xiaotiao's next narration seemed messy, his speech was slurred, and his facial muscles were trembling slightly.Zhang Wenling understood what Zhang Xiaotiao wanted to express, and Zhang Xiaotiao's words were filtered in her brain: ...Zhang Xiaotiao was led by Li Li to the iron stairs, and Li Li's hands were cold until cold. Zhang Xiao jumped in his heart.Zhang Xiaotiao felt extremely cold.Li Li was light and light, and her steps made no sound when she stepped on the iron stairs.Zhang Xiaotiao could only hear his own footsteps, because Li Li didn't make a sound, so he also stepped lightly.The stairs leading from the ground to the fourth floor seemed unusually long, Zhang Xiaotiao's heart was beating all the time, not knowing where his mother was going to take him.Walking to the door, Li Li gently opened the door.Zhang Xiaotiao was pulled in by her, as if he had entered a dark abyss.There was no light in the place where Zhang Xiaotiao went in, and there was not even a trace of money.It was terribly quiet, Zhang Xiaotiao couldn't see Li Li anymore, and Li Li didn't hold his hand anymore.He called out in the darkness, "Mom, where are you—" The darkness absorbed his cry, and there was no echo.In fact, from the first time he saw Li Li that night, Zhang Xiaotiao hadn't heard a word from Li Li.But Zhang Xiaotiao felt that Li Li was still there, maybe she was standing in the dark. In the past, when he was young, she would often turn off the lights after he did something bad to scare him.Zhang Xiaotiao shouted again: "Mom, don't scare me, don't scare me! I didn't kill you, don't punish me!" His desperate cry was swallowed by the darkness again.Zhang Xiaotiao finally understood that Li Li had left quietly and left him alone.He was thrown in this gloomy place alone, and his fear reached the extreme. He didn't know what was hidden in the darkness.Zhang Xiaotiao was hungry and cold, he wanted to run away, but he groped around in the thick darkness, but couldn't find the door he came in.Zhang Xiaotiao touched the apple in the dark, where did the apple come from, but he was so hungry, he didn't care about it, so he gnawed on the apple.Zhang Xiaotiao hated Li Li at that time!Why did she abandon him in such a ghostly place!Thinking about it, he heard a woman's scream, and then that scream sounded again and again, that sound was so strange and frightening to him.Zhang Xiaotiao shrank into a ball and began to cry. His cries were swallowed up by the darkness until he fell unconscious... When he woke up, he was already in the hospital. The first thing he saw was his father, Zhang Wenbo, who was on the phone. Li Li was nowhere to be seen. After Zhang Xiaotiao finished speaking, his face turned pale, and Zhang Wenling held Zhang Xiaotiao's cold little hand. Zhang Wenling could imagine how terrified Zhang Xiaotiao was in that time. She felt a great danger, and the danger was hidden in that old building. Zhang Wenling couldn't help worrying about Zhang Xiaotiao. What she had been worried about for a long time finally started to happen. Zhang Wenling also fell into a kind of darkness. The woman's screams echoed in her mind again, lingering!What's next? Zhang Wenling couldn't imagine. 她也没有能力去阻止将要发生的一切！
