Xiao Zheng smiled: "As long as you can bear it, I can afford it." The two of them smiled and walked outside and walked along the alley to the road. Zhang Yihong whispered again: "Seriously, you and I are now
Chen Hong broke up and became free again, but you can't let yourself go. There are many women in this world, up and down, left and right, so don't mess with them casually. You really need to find a reliable woman to get married. I think our Xiaoshi
.Chang is the best candidate!”
Xiao Zheng was a little strange. Why was Zhang Yihong so optimistic about his relationship with Xiao Jingyu? Was he relying on his feelings, or did he really know something? Xiao Zheng couldn't help but glance at Zhang Yihong again. Zhang Yihong's face looked like a computer after drinking.
It doesn't look like it's hiding any secrets.
At this time, Xiao Zheng glanced and saw the alley again. Just a few nights ago, Xiao Zheng was sitting at the door of the old house in this alley drinking Maojiu. Then the old man who owned the house appeared and took his Maojiu.
The wine and gold-leaf cigarettes were all gone. After leaving the house, Xiao Zheng walked to the end of the alley and fell into the river... Later, in the hotel, someone gave him and Xiao Jingyu special decoctions to keep them free.
Got a cold.
As I passed by this alley, memories came back to me, and I smelled the night air in my nostrils, which was really similar to that time.
An idea popped into Xiao Zheng's head. Could it be that the old man in the old house was the one who delivered the soup and medicine to them?
If not this old man, who could it be? That night, apart from him, Xiao Jingyu, only Li Haiyan, Xiao Zhong and others knew that they had fallen into the water.
The old man was in that alley. The elderly had neurasthenia and were more alert. They could easily hear the noise within a few hundred meters. Therefore, it was not difficult for the old man to hear the sound of them falling into the water. Plus the old man was holding
He gave them his good wine and cigarettes, and in return, he sent them cold medicine.
In that case, the old man should know medical skills.
Xiao Zheng has been looking for the old Chinese medicine doctor Zhou Muyun on behalf of Fang Ya, the director of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China. A bold idea came to Xiao Zheng's mind. Could it be that by coincidence, the old man was the old Chinese medicine doctor Zhou Muyun?
Chinese medicine, right?
Thinking of this, Xiao Zheng couldn't help but get a little excited, and said to Zhang Yihong beside him: "I have something else to do, senior brother, please go back first." Zhang Yihong drank wine and was doing nothing, and he became curious: "In this alley
, what can happen to you? I will accompany you." Xiao Zheng did not refuse: "I'm going to find someone." After saying that, without explaining much, he walked towards the door of his old residence. Zhang Yihong followed him strangely.
When he came to the door of his old residence, Xiao Zheng glanced at the steps. Yes, this was the place where he sat and drank Maojiu last time. Seeing that the door was closed, Xiao Zheng raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Behind him, Zhang Yihong and Xiao Zhong were very surprised. Zhang Yihong asked: "Who is here? Do you know him?"
Xiao Zheng said: "Maybe he is the person I have been looking for." Zhang Yihong said: "Maybe? That means you don't know him?" Xiao Zheng felt that Zhang Yihong, who was drunk, had so many questions and was nagging.
. He pretended not to hear and did not answer. He continued to knock on the door unhurriedly.
After about five or six knocks, I heard a woman's voice coming from inside: "Who is it?" The voice had the soft accent of a local girl in Jingzhou. Then, a girl wearing a cheongsam came and opened the door.
The red cheongsam is decorated with small gold-threaded flowers, which is unique and coquettish. The girl is about twenty years old, with an oval face and pretty facial features. She is a typical girl from the Jiangnan water town, with a slightly otherworldly look on her face.
, not quite like the current female students who like pop culture.
The girl's watery eyes were like the surface of a lake after the fog dissipated. She looked at Xiao Zheng, Zhang Yihong, and Xiao Zhong doubtfully, and asked, "Who are you looking for?" Xiao Zheng found it strange that the old man that night seemed to be alone.
We live alone, why is it a girl who opens the door? Xiao Zheng asked: "Is there an old gentleman living here?"
The girl's words were a little tricky: "Look, do I look like an old gentleman?" Xiao Zheng was stunned for a moment, and Zhang Yihong laughed at the side. Xiao Zhong just looked at the girl without any expression.
Xiao Zheng said: "You don't look like that. It's just that last time I was at the door, I met an old gentleman. He entered this door. I want to find him." The girl looked at Xiao Zheng and said: "You
Maybe I made a mistake. There are only two people here, my mother and I, and there has never been any old gentleman." Xiao Zheng was puzzled: "That's strange. I was sitting at the door drinking that day, and the old gentleman came over and said that he
He lived there and took away all my wine and cigarettes."
There was suspicion in the girl's eyes and she said, "You mean, you drank that day?" Xiao Zheng nodded: "That's right." The girl's eyes flashed and said, "Then you were drunk and got the wrong door opening.
Yeah. Or maybe I was confused and imagined it."
Xiao Zheng was a little embarrassed by the girl's words, but he didn't think he was confused at that time. He suspected that the girl was deliberately hiding something, so he said, "Can you let me go in and take a look?" The girl looked wary and said, "
My mother is not here, so I am alone at home. Do you think this is okay?"
Xiao Zheng was stunned for a moment. If this girl was really the only one here, it would be a bit excessive for the three grown men to go to her house. Xiao Zheng was still the deputy county chief, so he definitely couldn't do anything to harass the people. Xiao Zheng
He asked: "When will your mother come back? When is she usually free? I'll come back next time?"
The girl said: "My mother is very busy. If you want to come, you can come on weekends." Xiao Zheng looked at the girl and then looked into the room. He felt that it was quiet inside, and it didn't seem like there was anyone else there, so he said
: "Okay, I'll come visit again on Saturday." The girl looked at him and said, "Okay."
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "See you then." After saying that, he turned to Zhang Yihong and Xiao Zhong said, "Let's go."
The girl behind him suddenly stopped him: "Wait a minute, I'll leave you my mother's phone number. You can call her in advance then."
Unexpectedly, the girl took the initiative to call him. She seemed to be a cold-hearted person, so he said, "That's great, thank you."
After leaving the phone number, Xiao Zheng had no other reason to stay any longer. He said thank you, walked out of the alley with Zhang Yihong and Xiao Zhong, and came to the car.
Xiao Zheng asked Xiao Zhong to see Zhang Yihong off first, but Zhang Yihong said that his home was nearby, a few hundred meters away, so he could just walk there and just pretend to be sober since he didn't drink much today anyway.
Zhang Yihong also said: "On the other hand, you have a department manager, Song Jia, waiting for you in the office. Go back quickly!"
Xiao Zheng was no longer polite and asked Xiao Zhong to return directly to An County.
