Chapter 23 Chapter Twenty-Three

Just after 9 a.m. the next day, Fang Lili's mother followed Feng Tai into a hotel near Xinjiang Railway Station.Fang Lili did not lie, her father had a car accident not long ago, and he is still lying on the bed unable to move.Fang Lili's mother entrusted her husband to relatives to take care of her, and came to Xinjiang to visit her "sick daughter". As soon as she entered the hotel gate, Fang Lili's mother stopped and asked Feng Tai suspiciously, didn't she mean that Lili was sick?Why don't we go to the hospital?What are you doing here?Feng Tai said in a perfunctory manner that some specific situations need to be introduced to you by the leaders of the school.Then he stopped giving her the opportunity to ask questions, hugged her upstairs, and pushed open the door of a room.

The room was very large, and Zhou Yulou, Xie Lan, several school leaders, Mr. He, the head of the security department, and Wang Yue, the assistant to the dean, were all there, as well as a policeman in uniform. Seeing the police, Fang Lili's mother turned even paler.Feng Tai introduced everyone to her as quickly as possible, and then, the task of telling the truth fell on Zhou Yulou. Zhou Yulou's wording was carefully considered, and finally became—— "Sister, I hope you are mentally prepared. Fang Lili was punished by the school for violating the Public Security Management Punishment Law outside the school. She couldn't think about it for a while, and she committed suicide. This happened yesterday, and she is no longer here. You Be sure to save..."

"what……" What a wail it was!It was as if a shrill lightning had torn apart the entire sky, and everyone in the room wept with the wail. Fushou Road Funeral Home is located on Fushou Road near the suburb of Xinjiang.I don't know whether it was Lu who called this name first, or the name of the funeral parlor was also given to Lu later.By this time, the group from the Conservatory of Music was already close to 11 o'clock.The time in the hotel just now was a huge torment for everyone.Fang Lili's mother was in so much pain that she didn't even have the strength to cry, and she just curled up on the bed and kept moaning.When she was able to speak, she began to ask what had happened, what law her daughter had violated, what punishment she had received, and how she committed suicide... Before, Zhou Yulou was still fantasizing about whether she could avoid bringing up prostitution in front of Fang Lili's mother as much as possible. , But at that time, Zhou Yulou realized how naive fantasy is.

The freezer in the funeral home was freezing.At this temperature, among all the people, only Fang Lili's clothes seemed to be the most suitable. The mouth is tightly closed, the tongue has been turned back, although the expression is still a little stiff, but the sky blue wide-brimmed hat, multicolored gauze scarf and fashionable sportswear still give off a little vigor of a young girl.Seeing such a daughter, Fang Lili's mother struggled to break free from the support of Wang Yue and the school doctor, threw herself on Fang Lili and burst into tears.Everyone did not pull her, leaving time for her to release her grief.Zhou Yulou was heartbroken amidst the woman's cries.In that kind of heartbreak, there is sympathy for the mother, and more regret for Fang Lili.Yes, the man lying on the death bed was his student, they got along for two years.A few days ago, she was still singing loudly in the classroom of the piano room, imagining the future in God's baby.Also, that night—"Mr. Zhou, other...students, will they know about this?"—Yes, Zhou Yulou clearly remembered that it was the last sentence he heard her say, even if the voice stopped Continuing, the expression is also so vivid.But now she was lying there, stiff and stiff, in clothes that would only fit in a freezer.

Fang Lili's mother was still crying and her voice was already hoarse.Her heart is not good, the school doctor has already held the Jiuxin Pill in her hand, and is ready to rush over to do CPR at any time.The bitter crying lasted for more than ten minutes, and then turned into soft sobbing.Mother Fang Lili raised her head, looked at her daughter carefully, caressed her face, and muttered "Lily... Lily..." After a while, everyone felt that it was almost the same.Wang Yue looked at Zhou Yulou, Zhou Yulou nodded, Wang Yue was going to help her up, and Lao He was going to cover the corpse with a sheet.But at this moment, something unexpected happened.

Fang Lili's mother suddenly jumped up and slammed into Zhou Yulou! "I'm fighting with you! You drove Lily to death! I can't live anymore..." Zhou Yulou was knocked to the ground by her, everyone rushed up to pull her, she threw herself on Zhou Yulou and grabbed his hair , pulled his clothes, and cried: "I'm dead! You are teachers, you are killing students, killing my daughter! I will fight with you... Lily..." Zhou Yulou didn't resist at all.He just lowered his head and sat on the ground, letting the woman vent hysterically.It took a lot of effort to pull her away from Zhou Yulou's body. When she pulled away, she still held a lock of Zhou Yulou's hair in her hand.Then, Jiuxin Pills and CPR came in handy.

Fang Lili's mother stayed in Xinjiang for three days, and returned to her hometown by train at 10 am on Saturday. In dealing with the aftermath of the suicide incident, Xie Lan showed a strong sense of responsibility.The school paid all of Fang Lili's funeral expenses, and Xie Lan also allocated 5,000 yuan to Fang Lili's mother alone.Before leaving, Xie Lan assigned two officers from the student office to escort her home, and told her to help her settle down as much as possible. Zhou Yulou also went to drop off the station.Everyone advised him not to go because of the funeral home, but he still entered the platform early, earlier than Xue Ge and the others.

After seeing Zhou Yulou, Fang Lili's mother burst into tears.She sincerely apologized to Zhou Yulou, saying that she had heard that Teacher Zhou was kind to Lily, and she had wanted to apologize to Teacher Zhou a long time ago, but she had no face to do so... Zhou Yulou interrupted her and gave her a In the envelope, there are thousands of dollars collected by the teachers and classmates of the whole department.Then he took out another 10,000 yuan from his pocket, handed it to Fang Lili's mother, and said to her: "This is my personal wish, please accept it. Lili told me about your family's situation." , I am her teacher, this is what I should do."

He glanced at Fang Lili's mother's travel bag, which contained her daughter's ashes.He went on to say: "Lily is my student for a day, and she will always be my student. The fact that she is there or not will not change. If there is any difficulty at home in the future, feel free to call me. Let me tell you..." Fang Lili's mother was already sobbing. When the train started, Zhou Yulou waved his hands tremblingly.He watched the train drift away, from roaring colossus to silent black spot.He knows that there is a life that disappeared at the best time, that was once his student, and this train is the last story between their teachers and students.

Zhou Yulou stood on the platform for a long time, how depressed he was as the platform was empty.To be exact, Zhou Yulou was depressed all that day.Especially at night, after drinking a bit of stuffy wine alone, he was so depressed that he couldn't breathe. It was that night that he saw the email sent to him by Bai Xiaoxi. White Creek. Ha ha!Bai Xiaoxi was finally out of danger.She was rescued the same day she was kidnapped.The time she saw Zhao Duo was 7:55 p.m. Zhao Duo brought fifty thousand yuan, which happened to be within the time stipulated by the short and fat man. Chunky Man is very trustworthy.He didn't do anything to Bai Xiaoxi, he took the money, and warned Zhao Duo not to "break ground on Tai Sui" in the future, and told Bai Xiaoxi that you "stinky bitch" should not come out to harm others again!Then let the two of them "Get out!" Zhao Duo really wanted to go up and beat him, but the short and fat man had more bodyguards around him, so Zhao Duo didn't dare to do anything wrong.

For the remaining 30,000 yuan, Zhao Duo borrowed usury. Usury - this is the "hard" word that suddenly came to Zhao Duo's mind when he let go of his fist in Xiali's car that night. The reason why it is said to be tough is because Zhao Duo felt that in front of that force, anyone would appear weak and helpless.Zhao Duo knew the loan sharks when he was in the game hall.At that time, because of the money he owed to the game hall, he also thought of borrowing usury many times.But he's a smart guy, and he's heard too many stories of people being forced into embarrassment by loan sharks and even ruining their families because they couldn't pay back the money.So at that time, he would rather take the risk of extorting netizens than wading into that muddy water, although the boss of the money lender had repeatedly tempted him. But this time it was different, he was desperate, so he went to the boss.After all, he was an old acquaintance, and the boss gave Zhao Duo a lot of face—the principal was 30,000 yuan, the daily interest was three cents, and it was paid off in one month.That is to say, Zhao Duo borrowed 30,000 yuan, and the daily interest was 900. When the money was repaid after one month, Zhao Duo had to pay back 57,000 to the boss with the principal and interest.To be honest, this interest rate is not high in the underground usury market, and there are many additional conditions to urge the borrower to repay the money on time, and the boss didn't even count it.Zhao Duo directly issued a 57,000 IOU, took 30,000 yuan from the boss, and went to redeem Bai Xiaoxi. That night, after returning home, Bai Xiaoxi and Zhao Duo Niu Yi cried for a long time. This time it's big!In order to save Bai Xiaoxi, inside and out, it is equivalent to spending a total of 77,000 yuan!Excluding the 15,000 paid by Zhao Duo himself, the remaining 62,000 are all debts. Sixty-two thousand. Zhao Duo did the math, the Xiali car was sold, and he could get back 30,000 yuan with all the money. Even if it was all added to the usury, the boss would still be 27,000 yuan short, plus the 5,000 yuan he borrowed from a poor friend, another 32,000 yuan. hole.Fortunately, my friend said that usury money cannot be delayed for a day, otherwise there will be unimaginable consequences.Bai Xiaoxi comforted Zhao Duo not to worry, she could borrow some money from her sister first.Although Sister Bai Xiaoxi's fashion business is a small business, the profits have always been good.Bai Xiaoxi said that my sister must have some savings, and she will not die. That night, Bai Xiaoxi and Zhao Duo also thought of a question at the same time, that is, whether their "career" should continue.But none of them mentioned this matter, nor did they sigh and regret because of this stumble.They know that it is useless, when there are thieves eating meat, there must be times when thieves are beaten, and there is no reason to cry and complain.As for whether to do it in the future, let's talk about it later.In addition, Zhao Duo didn't say a word about his blackmailing of a woman. The plan was pretty good at first, but after talking with his sister on the phone the next day, Bai Xiaoxi was very depressed.My sister's business has been booming recently, so she opened a chain store in her hometown. It just opened, renting a house, decorating, buying goods... almost all the money was invested, and there was a total of less than 20,000 yuan in working capital.The elder sister told her that she could get 10,000 yuan first, and there was nothing she could do about the rest. "Anyway, my sister has to leave a few thousand dollars in her pressure pocket." There is no other way, Bai Xiaoxi bravely called his family again, and lied that he has an opportunity to make a TV series, and it is still a very important role, but he has to pay the director some favors, can the family provide some sponsorship.My parents were overjoyed at the time, and they generously promised 5,000 yuan with the pride of spending money like water, and told their daughter, if it is not enough, just speak up, this is a big deal, don't delay it because of the money, the family There is plenty of money, so it's no problem to pay another 810,000... To put it bluntly, Bai Xiaoxi wanted to cry.But anyway, the money of parents and sister can add up to 15,000.Bai Xiaoxi told Zhao Duo to quickly find someone to sell the car. If the Xiali can really be exchanged for 30,000 yuan, there will be less than 20,000 yuan left in the hole, and it will be much easier to solve. In fact, it is easy to say, but is it really so easy to get nearly 20,000 yuan? At this moment, Bai Xiaoxi and Zhao Duo looked at each other, and they both knew what the other was thinking—where they fell, they got up from where they fell.The damage done by the chunky man can be repaid by the next man.People can't be so unlucky all the time, can they?The evil star of the murderer may also be transferred, and the frozen three feet will melt away.It's said that Thailand is coming, and now it's too bad to say no, it's time for Thailand to come! It was Zhao Duo who first mentioned that name. "Hey, haven't you been chatting with a man named Ye ... what Kong?" "The night is dark and empty." "Yes! It's him, why is there no movement?" "I don't know what's wrong with him. I haven't seen him come up for a month." "Why didn't we touch him before?" "I think that man is quite nice. He is different from those men. It is very interesting to chat with him." "Don't be funny!" Zhao Duo made a dying state, "If it's interesting, we both will be interesting." "But he is not online now, and he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive. What can I do?" "You have to try it! What if you catch it one day? After fishing for so long, you're just about to get used to it. Where can you find such a ready-made person now..." So that night, Bai Xiaoxi sent an email to the QQ mailbox of "Ye Luo Meng Kong". Of course, Zhao Duo didn't completely hang himself from the tree Ye Luo Meng Kong, he was still trying to find other ways.But judging from the fact that he was able to think of a prey that had been silent for so long, and still asked Bai Xiaoxi to send an email, he was really anxious.Of course he is very anxious, he is afraid of the "hard" usury, the approaching deadline, and the disaster caused by breaking the contract... So he must rack his brains, spare no effort, and plunder with all means!For Zhao Duo at this moment, even if there is only a tiny bit of hope, he must go all out. Sure enough, Zhou Yulou saw the email. Ordinarily, after Xia Churong's turmoil, no matter what, it was impossible for Zhou Yulou to provoke QQ again, but that day was very special. That day, after sending off Fang Lili's mother, Zhou Yulou stood on the platform for a long time until he found Xue Ge and the others.Xue Ge and a group of classmates didn't leave either, they stood in the corner of the platform and accompanied him silently. After leaving the station, Zhou Yulou began to wander the streets.He wanted to use the sun and the crowd to drive away the gloom in his heart, but he couldn't, the sun made him hot, and the crowd made him more irritable.He felt groggy, went home, took a cold shower, laid himself flat on the bed, and slept until dark.When he woke up, he felt refreshed, and when he looked up, he saw Jiang Dan smiling gently at him in the wedding photo. He suddenly missed his wife.She had been gone for more than a week, and although the room was dark and empty at the moment, the lingering warmth of the newlyweds was obviously still there.The faint fragrance left by Jiang Dan floated on the silk quilt, and the bedtime book she must read every night was placed on the bedside table. Will she forgive herself?Or still angry... He hesitated to call his wife, but she turned off the phone. An unspeakable loneliness rose up, and Zhou Yulou dialed Huang Dasheng's cell phone again.Huang Dasheng's message told everyone that now is the "disappearing time" for him and Lu Qing. They are visiting immortals and spirits in Heyun Mountain, rejecting all interruptions, and waiting for a week to discuss everything. Zhou Yulou admired Huang Dasheng's freedom and ease.He immediately thought, when will he be free and easy?This question can't help but make him feel sad.For a long time, probably in everyone's impression, Zhou Yulou is the name closest to free and easy.But since then, everything has changed.Not only is it free and easy, but I can't even do the minimum of calmness. When did this terrible change happen? He felt a sense of vicissitudes in an instant.
