Lin Fei went to the town again with the back basket on his back.

Streets and alleys, stalls selling alcohol and tobacco can be seen everywhere, there are also many mahjong halls and chess and card rooms.

He raised his head, looked around, ran through several grocery stores, and asked people everywhere, only to find one that sold milk bottles.

Boiled goat milk, wait for it to cool in a bowl, then pour it into a milk bottle.

The cub lay in his arms, using his small hands and feet together, holding the bottle tightly without letting go.

Lin Fei held the cub in one hand and the feeding bottle in the other, looking at the little doll's small mouth chirping. his brows and eyes were full of tenderness. 

The cub happily sucking at the bottle, thick black eyelashes fluttering and the big black grape-like eyes were blinking and blinking.

After a while, the bottle of milk bottomed out.

Lin Fei put the little doll on his shoulders and patted her back lightly. He has never raised children and doesn't know how to raise such a child.

Everything can only be explored slowly.

The little doll is very good, is not picky what to eat. Cub burped and lay on his shoulders, squinting lazily.

She was a little sleepy just after I was full...

The breeze caressed the mountains and through the wooden window, the young man with warm eyebrows was hugging the little baby in his arms and coaxing.

The washed and whitish shirt was full of the good smell of grass and the little fleshy cheeks were rubbing against it, fell asleep before knew it...

...

Lugou Town is small and has a small population. There are not many transportation, inconvenient, and every household basically knows each other.

Whose family is a little troubled and often goes out for a walk, almost everyone in the town knows about it.

In recent years, more and more people have gone out to work. Who is making money, who is buying a car and who is building a house...

In the mahjong hall, there are three or five laps on the card table.

Although this Lugou Town is small, there are all kinds of people.

Beggars, lunatics... not uncommon.

You say Lin Fei, who is it?

"I don't remember, it's that baby from Liu Jingui's family." The person who came here made a second shot and continued to draw the cards.

"Oh..." The middle-aged woman with curly hair looked suddenly enlightened, and said angrily to the person next to her: "You said it was Liu Jingui's family, but I didn't remember it."

Everyone knows that there is such a person, But no one cared.

He was living under the eyes of everyone like a lonely ghost.

Anyone who is a little older knows that he was bought by Liu Jingui and has been seen wandering in the town before. Occasionally, there are kindhearted people who see him as a young age and give him a meal or two to eat, but no one took care of him.

For such a person, he can only be regarded as a wild cat and a wild dog straying on the roadside, it is enough to take a look at him when he has nothing to do.

What happened more than ten years ago, the death of Liu Jingui in Xiagou Village, whether you have seen it or not, the scene can still be described as if you had seen it with your own eyes.

People died in the village, but quietly, without causing any splash.

At that time, the village chief of Xiagou Village knew that the news was not good, so he suppressed it, saying that it was an accidental fall, a hasty incident.

Those who knew the details at that time kept it a secret. although everyone knew it, in their hearts it was enough to talk in private, no one would spread it out.

At this time, it reflects the "benefit" of having a surname, and no one wants to have a bad name on their head.

In a blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.

"A few days ago, I saw he seem to be carrying a baby on his back?"

After a round of mahjong, several people shuffled the cards again, eagerly preparing for another round.

"saw it on the street, it seems like he was carrying a little baby..." The woman said while drawing the cards.

A poker player sitting opposite, after playing a card, said unhurriedly: "Yes, he bought clothes for the little baby at my fourth aunt's stall, also bought small shoes and socks, A lot of stuff..."

The woman with curly hair curled her lips and said, "Where did he get the money? I remember that after Liu Jingui died, the village chief of Xiagou Village, Liu Jingui's third uncle, directly took over the house. Hedi and those have all returned to their own homes, no one cares about that baby. For a while, we all thought people were gone. Who knows, they're still alive... It is difficult to support himself and now have to support more. A baby, that's not right, which woman has a crush on him?"

"He's not married yet, and on his condition, who would be willing to kiss him."

"You can tell if someone has money or not, do you not? Note, I have seen him several times in the past few years, just the waste collection, chicken farm, brick kiln in Zhenkou... It seems since he was only in his teens, he was looking for work everywhere. Not to mention, this baby has really suffered a lot of sins. Who doesn't look like a sinner... No matter how much he make, should have saved a little over the years."

"Twenty thousand!" 

The woman threw down a card and immediately exclaimed in surprise: "Huh! Huh! Hurry up, get the money!" 

On the mahjong table, the losers look unhappy from the drawers in front of them. Take out the money and throw it in the middle of the table. 

Noisily shouted: "Go on! Go on! Don't rub it all night today, no one will leave!" 

The mahjong hall's "ping ping pong pong" voice, if you lose money, you want to turn over the book, and the more you lose, the more you want to win.

The four of them restarted the game and played several rounds.

"Speaking of which, Uncle Jin Gui has raised him for a while no matter what, and now, I haven't seen him go to graves. No wonder people say that he is either his own son, or he is not familiar with him..."

He never said anything. After the man played 30,000, he looked at his card again, shook his head, and sighed.

"How do you know?"

"I heard from Liu Quanfa, a drug seller, that the baby he was carrying, don't know where he picked it up. Others don't want it, he's better, it's very rare..."

Seeing that his cards were not good, his face was full of dejection. He was afraid that he would lose money again in this game and was not in the mood to continue playing.

"Don't talk about this person, bad luck!" The man changed the subject and said, "Have you all heard? Someone from the county..."

A few people around the table stopped playing when they saw the man had lost so badly. He was addicted to cards, haven't passed it yet, not happy and rushing to speak.

He waved his hand impatiently and said, "It's all over the place, it's not unusual, we've already known about it. But you, don't lose when you get to the poker table, hurry up, let's have another round... "

"Don't, it's been so long since morning until now, take a break, take a break before continuing." The man said with a smile.

"Okay."

A few people let him go for the time being, picked up the cup next to the table, and chatted, "Someone from the county, Liu Er's family said, these days, their department is in charge of reception, Writing materials, making reports, etc. will be too busy."

"It's not like ten years ago and have to be careful in everything you do, for fear of being caught. Otherwise, it's like that so-and-so, oh, yes, Liu Jincai, who thought he was carrying a golden bowl, was about to be promoted to director, but didn't know which one reported him, "Crack!" he was dismissed right away. After so much tossing, there is nothing left. His family is still scolding him now..."

"The surnamed Liu may come down, he doesn't do any shit, just waits for someone to treat him." After dinner, I get annoyed every time I go back to do something!"

"Let's not talk about this, this half-day rest is enough, hurry up, come on!" People.

...

"Buzz—"

The phone on the desk rang.

The man glanced at the caller ID, put aside the photo of the car accident scene at hand, got up and walked to the window.
and pressed to answer.

"Have the identities of those people been found out?"

"All of them have been found, the last clue is here."

After staying there for a long time, he continued: "Since people have spoken, it is not easy to refuse or offend. You made a special trip here to walk through the scene and it is considered we have done our best, no matter which side we have an explanation."

"That's it, you organize all the information and bring it back."

"Okay."

Hearing the phone busy tone came, the man hung up the phone. Thinking of the purpose of his visit, he couldn't help shaking his head and said,

"What is this all about, one thing in front of people, another behind the scenes, as expected on TV, there are a lot of grievances and grievances between rich and powerful families..."

the director got a few calls back and forth. Anyway, the small arm can't twist the thigh, so he does it.

The man sorted out all the information he had obtained and sealed it in a file bag.

The next day, people in the town heard that the people from the county had left.

The mahjong hall should still be shuffling the cards, the gossip talk about who's man has someone outside, who's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are fighting again, anyway, idle is idle, after a while mouth addiction.

...

Beijing City, it was early night, and it was raining lightly.

On the street, people come and go, vehicles flow incessantly and colorful neon lights flicker non-stop.

The woman in a white dress was walking barefoot in the rain, looking lost.

Passers-by with umbrellas were in a hurry. Someone noticed the woman in the rain, gave her a strange look, then avoided it far away.

Xue Lingling was soaked all over, the thin white dress was tightly attached to her body, the rain flowing down her black hair, looking very embarrassed at this time.

Her eyes were red, she couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears on her face.

Thinking of the scene where she saw him kissing Tan Rujing at Pei Yan's house before, she felt that her heart was about to shatter with grief.

The jacket was still on the sofa, and she lost the indoor slippers she was wearing to ran away at some point. Her bare feet were stained with black muddy water, already red from freezing and lost consciousness...

Finally tired from walking, Xue Lingling squatted down slowly, hugged herself tightly and cried bitterly in the rain.

If he doesn't love her, why should he come to her?

Since he kept saying that the person he loved the most was her, why would he kiss another woman?

Xue Lingling kept recalling the scene she had seen before as if masochistic.

The beautiful and moving woman raised her white swan neck with a faint blush on her cheeks, and kissed the tall and handsome man in the living room.

The man's back was reflected in Xue Lingling's eyes, so familiar. Just before she went out an hour ago, he held her in his arms and kissed her on the forehead lightly.

However, at this moment, the arms that once made her feel at ease were holding another woman!

Xue Lingling's body trembled faintly, the rain was getting heavier, there was no one on the street, only she, like a ghost, was unknowingly endured by the cold rain.

She has nothing left...

Her parents despised her for having a child out of wedlock and drove her out of the house, saying that they would cut off their relationship with her from now on;

her child was stolen, and her whereabouts are still unknown;

Now, even the only man she can rely on has abandoned her...

The traffic lights at the intersection kept flashing, and vehicles began to pass. The driver did not notice the woman squatting on the zebra crossing and when he saw it, he could only slam the steering wheel.

"Dudu--" the hospital's 120 ambulance roared rapidly--

the traffic police blocked the scene.

...

When Pei Yan heard the sound of something falling to the ground, he turned his head and saw the woman's face that was about to cry.

Before he could explain anything, Xue Lingling rushed out the door with tears in her eyes. The man was about to catch up to explain, but his arm was grabbed by someone behind him.

"Rujing, I..."

The eyes of his former lover's tearful accusation made him unable to move his steps.

Even though Pei Yan now clearly understands that the person he loves most is Lingling, he is full of guilt and pity for the woman who was hurt by him.

First love is unforgettable, and Pei Yan will always remember that he dedicated his most sincere and beautiful feelings to this woman.

What's more,

he temporarily regretted leaving Rujing alone at the wedding, leaving her alone to face the gazes of other guests and the unpleasant gossips of others. It was enough to feel ashamed of her. Now, he can no longer leave her alone. Leaving her here...

Looking at the man's guilty eyes, the woman slowly released her hand, gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said in a relaxed tone,

"It's so embarrassing, I originally wanted to say goodbye to you and then Starting over. didn't expect to be bumped into by Miss Xue..."

The woman still maintained the elegance of a famous daughter in every move, she took the Kelly bag on the table, looked at the man and said with a slight smile:
"Miss Xue must have misunderstood. Go after her. If you need me to explain, I'll be happy to cooperate... It's getting late, so I should go."

"Rujing, I..." Pei Yan's eyes were filled with emotion. complex. Seeing the woman's generous attitude made the guilt in his heart rise to the top. He said softly:
"Lingling's place, I'll go back and explain, she's not that small. I'll take you back first..."

The woman didn't refuse.

Looking at Tan Rujing, who is graceful and generous, Pei Yan's heart is even more inclined. He comforted himself:

Yes, this was originally a misunderstanding.

Rujing came to say goodbye to him today. She had decided to fulfill him and Lingling, and said that she would intercede with her parents for them. As for that kiss, it was just a "pure" goodbye kiss between them.

Unlike before, there is no trace of lust.

Lingling will definitely understand him.

Pei Yan solved himself all the way, suppressed his worries about Xue Lingling, and sent Tan Rujing home.

At her polite invitation, he stayed. The two also drank some red wine together and recalled the good times in the past.

When the police and the hospital called, the man was already half-drunk leaning on the leather sofa. When he woke up in Tan Rujing's bed at her apartment the next day, He found that the phone was turned off. Just as Pei Yan frowned, the woman walked in wearing a nightgown.

She whispered softly, "You're awake. I saw you were drunk last night, so I let you stay there."

Pei Yan glanced at the head of the bed. The woman smiled and said, "All the clothes you wore yesterday were taken for dry cleaning."

She brought the ironed clothes and put them beside the bed.

"When I was tidying up the closet, I found that there were still a few pieces of clothes left by you, which were just ready to be replaced. They were all matched according to your habits."

"Rujing, I..." Hearing the woman's words, Pei Yan frowned tighter.

Tan Rujing lowered her head shyly, without any intention of explaining.

Pei Yan changed his clothes with a dazed look on his face, and accidentally glanced at the black screen mobile phone by the bed, only to remember that it had not been turned on.

As soon as he opened it, he saw more than a dozen missed calls on the screen.

Pei Yan frowned, all kinds of complicated feelings of guilt entangled in his heart, he hesitated for a while, but dialed the number and called back.

But the person on the other end of the phone was not Xue Lingling. He heard an unfamiliar voice said anxiously,

"Hey, are you a family member of Miss Xue Lingling? This is the Beihe Affiliated Hospital." blank. The other end of the phone was still asking, "Hey, hello, can't you hear me? Is it Miss Xue Lingling's family?"

After recovering, Pei Yan restrained his anxiety and said in a low, hoarse and dry voice, "Yes, I am... What happened to Lingling?"

When Pei Yan drove his secretary and lawyer to the hospital, he was confronted by a pale woman lying on the hospital bed and... a traffic policeman.

The doctor said, "Ms. Xue Lingling is just a bruise on her arm, nothing serious."

Fortunately, the driver found out in time and turned the steering wheel quickly.

Although no one was hit, the car he was driving slammed into the green belt on the side of the road. The driver injured his head and suffered a concussion. He needed to stay in the hospital for observation.

Now both parties need to identify responsibility for the accident.
