The later it gets late at night, the more complex and complex my thoughts become, and the more impulsive I become.
Lin Xiao stared at this message for a whole day, and at one o'clock in the morning, she still replied to the other party.
‘Thank you for your message. I went out and missed a lot of schoolwork. I am not free now. Could you please send me a photo first?’
After sending the message, Lin Xiao became more and more uncomfortable. After the other party didn't reply for a long time, he gradually felt relieved.
Unexpectedly, around ten o'clock in the morning the next day, he received a reply from the other party.
It is a photo. Although the people in the photo are dressed simply, they are very neat.
With this face that is very similar to his second uncle, Lin Xiao can almost confirm that it must be him.
If that person was living a very bad life, Lin Xiao might still feel pity for him, but when he saw the neat clothes and the clean environment around him, Lin Xiao's eyes turned red with hatred.
Leave your son and mother behind and go out to live a good life, right?
OK.
It works!
Just after Lin Xiao scolded this person countless times, the other party sent another text, 'My dad invited someone to my house to take a picture. See if it looks like him.'
Before Lin Xiao thought about how to reply, the other party continued to send, "Let me explain this person's situation to you first. See if you can get it right. This person came to our village more than ten years ago. What are the details?"
No one remembers how many years ago he had some mental problems, which were invisible most of the time, but occasionally he would get sick, and when he was sick, he would run around without anyone recognizing him.
If the anchor thinks this person’s situation matches, I will send you the specific location.’
Lin Xiao stared at this message for a long time.
Staring at the phrase ‘running around without knowing anyone’.
He still replied: ‘Where is the place you mentioned?’
‘No. 12, Xihua Group, New Taipei Village, Northern Suburbs, Qingning City. If you plan to go, I can ask my dad to wait for you at the entrance of the village and show you the way.’
In class, the teacher's words turned into a buzzing sound that surrounded his head.
After finally making it to the end of get out of class, he asked for leave from school and returned directly to Qingning City.
He didn't expect that this person would be in Qingning City. While he was looking for that person, he hoped that this very similar person was just similar.
It seems that as long as you find the wrong person, you will not betray the nurturing grace of your second uncle’s family.
He didn't know what he was thinking.
He numbly got on the bus, got off, and changed cars.
Finally, we arrived at New Taipei Village in the evening. When we got off the bus, we could see the street sign for this village.
He stood by the street sign for a long time.
He was thinking, it is obviously in Qingning City, it is obviously so close, why not go back and have a look?
Are you that annoying?
Until the night got dark, he sat under the street sign, curled up, and stayed like this all night with his eyes open.
He usually cares so much about other people's eyes, but now he doesn't seem to care at all.
No matter how the people next to him pointed and walked past, he seemed like he couldn't see those people.
By the morning of the next day, he still entered the village.
I didn’t tell the kind-hearted netizens and asked for directions directly.
It has detailed house numbers and is easy to find.
When Lin Xiao saw the house where the man lived, it was a red brick house. There was not even cement on the outside of the house.
It is incomparable to the building built when that person got married more than ten years ago.
On the clean and tidy cement floor in front of this family's door, he was an uninvited guest.
The door was open, and an elderly man walked out of the house. Lin Xiao reflexively wanted to hide, but there was no obstruction around, so he didn't hide.
Let the old lady who came out see him.
"Who are you looking for?" The old lady looked at Lin Xiao with difficulty.
Lin Xiao froze in place for a while, "I'm looking for Lin Jianye."
"Lin Jianye?" The old lady waved her hand, "There is no one named Lin in our village."
"Who's talking outside?" A voice came from inside the room. The speaker's speech was unclear and his tongue was hanging out when he spoke. When he came out of the door, Lin Xiao saw clearly what the person looked like.
She has short, ear-length hair and a dull face. Her eyebrows are very light, and her eyebrows are almost invisible. One of her eyes is squinted, and the other is opened hard. Her jagged teeth can be seen from her slightly open mouth.
There is drool on the corner of the mouth that cannot be shed.
"Who are you looking for?" She spoke in a rough voice and walked with a slight limp.
Lin Xiao is afraid of this kind of person. He can tell at a glance that the other person is mentally unstable and cannot kill someone without breaking the law.
When the woman saw that Lin Xiao did not answer, she continued to walk towards Lin Xiao and asked repeatedly: "Who are you looking for?"
When Lin Xiao was about to step back, another person came out of the room. He was holding an old handkerchief. As soon as he went out, he looked around, "Who is it?"
The moment he saw Lin Xiao, he was stunned for a moment, but still asked the same question as the other two, "Who are you looking for?"
While the man was talking, he had already walked up to the woman and handed her the handkerchief.
"I'm looking for you." When Lin Xiao saw this man, he was not afraid of any mental illness. If he didn't discuss it clearly with him, he would have a mental problem sooner or later.
"Are you okay?" The man held the woman with one hand.
There was a lot of resentment in Lin Xiao's words, "What's your name?"
The man frowned and looked at Lin Xiao, "Do you know me?"
"What's your name? Where are you from?" Lin Xiao's voice became louder and louder, "Answer my question."
The red brick house is alone and has no neighbors. However, this house is in a special situation. It is full of old, weak, sick and disabled people, so the villagers pay more attention to this place.
No, now someone saw what was going on here and ran over.
"What's going on? Who is this person?"
"I don't know." The whole family felt strange.
"Do you know Xialing Village?" Lin Xiao didn't care about what others said or did at this time, he just stared at the man and asked.
The man's eyes showed panic, "Who are you?"
"Do you know the name Lin Jianye?" Lin Xiao quickly asked, "Have you ever gone back to see it over the years?"
The people next to him understood what he meant from Lin Xiao’s tone.
Among the villagers who came around was the father of the kind-hearted netizen, "Hey, are you the family-seeking person my son contacted online?"
"Looking for a relative? What's your relationship with Datou?"
"They look a bit similar?"
The panic on the man's face was suppressed, "Are you Xiaoxiao?"
"Do you know who I am?" This was very ironic to Lin Xiao. "Why don't you go home! Why did you run away!" Lin Xiao shouted through gritted teeth.
"Yeah, it's really Datou's family who came here."
The old lady who walked out of the house at the beginning drove Lin Xiao away angrily, "Don't talk nonsense here, there is no one you are looking for here, hurry up and leave!"
The old lady’s expulsion was nothing to Lin Xiao.
But the man said: "Go away, I'm fine here, don't disturb me."
