The old lady, Bai Lanlan's mother-in-law, heard the knock on the door, opened the door, and saw Xu Tongdao and Xi Dongyang standing at the door. The old lady looked at them for a few times, with confused eyes, "Who are you? Who are you looking for? I think I
I don’t recognize you…”
Of course she didn't know them.
When Bai Lanlan and Mili got married, Comrade Xu had been to her house.
But, come to think of it, that was almost ten years ago.
At that time, Xu Tongdao was only about twelve years old, his facial features had not yet grown, and he had not yet started to grow taller. His image was definitely very different from his current appearance.
Secondly, since Bai Lanlan and Mi Li got married, Xu Tongdao has never been to her house again in so many years. The old lady only met Xu Tongdao once ten years ago, and on the wedding day, there were so many people, and she went to her house again.
How good is your memory as you age?
However, Bai Lanlan looks like her father Xu Weidong, so in terms of facial features, Xu Tongdao and Bai Lanlan are somewhat similar.
No, although the old lady didn't recognize them, she kept staring at Xu Tongdao's face. She always felt that they were similar, as if she had seen them before, but she was not sure.
Comrade Xu saw a little girl, about seven or eight years old, lying next to a small wooden table in the living room, playing with a pile of blocks.
At this time, the little girl also looked at them curiously, blinking at her big watery eyes. No matter her facial features or skin color, there was a faint shadow of Bai Meifeng.
Tongdao Xu guessed that this little girl should be Xiaoxiao, the daughter of Bai Lanlan and Mili.
He had heard about this little girl.
Speaking of which, this little girl should call him cousin.
However, seeing her cool resemblance to Bai Meifeng, Xu Tongdao couldn't like her in his heart.
Although she is very beautiful.
"I'm looking for Bai Meifeng! Is she here?"
Comrade Xu gathered his thoughts, looked at the old lady intently, and asked.
Observe the old lady's expression carefully.
The old lady was startled, "Bai Meifeng? You don't recognize her... No! Bai Meifeng? Do you know Bai Meifeng? Is she old enough to be your mother? Are you looking for her?"
The old lady looked suspicious.
Comrade Xu was still staring at her expression, "Is she here?"
The old lady shook her head subconsciously and sighed: "No! No! How could she live here? She has her own home. Besides, she has disappeared for several years, and we have not seen her for several years. How can you remember her?
Come to our house to find her? What is your relationship with her?"
"Hold on!"
Comrade Xu said lightly, lowered his head and took out his mobile phone, and found Bai Meifeng's number in the phone's address book.
Before today, he did not have Bai Meifeng's mobile phone number.
Because when Bai Meifeng disappeared a few years ago, mobile phones were not yet popular. At that time, Comrade Xu did not have a mobile phone, and neither did Bai Meifeng.
The Bai Meifeng number he currently has saved in his mobile phone was given to him by Ge Lianghua when he had a phone call not long ago.
As for why Ge Lianghua had Bai Meifeng’s number?
Without it!
Just because "Big Tou" Bai Jingen has it in his cell phone.
Ge Lianghua found the call records between Bai Jingen and Bai Meifeng on Bai Jingen's mobile phone. At that time, Comrade Xu asked Ge Lianghua to send him Bai Meifeng's number.
"Wait? What are you waiting for? Do you, do you have anything else to do?"
The old lady became even more confused and looked at Xu Tongdao in confusion as he took out his mobile phone and watched him find a number in the phone and dial it.
After dialing the number, Xu Tongdao put the mobile phone to his ear, but his eyes passed through the living room behind the old lady, and his eyes switched back and forth between the two bedroom doors.
He wanted to confirm whether Bai Meifeng was hiding in those two rooms at this time.
If the phone call cannot be confirmed, the next step is for him and Xi Dongyang to break in and open the doors of the two bedrooms.
A "beep" sound came from the mobile phone, and after a moment, the call was connected.
"Hello? Hello, who are you looking for?"
Bai Meifeng's voice came from the phone.
Upon hearing this, Tongdao Xu recognized Bai Meifeng's voice. Although he had not heard Bai Meifeng's voice for a long time, he still recognized it immediately.
Bai Meifeng...is his eldest aunt after all.
When his uncle Xu Weidongjian was still alive, he often went to their house to play. How could Bai Meifeng's voice be unfamiliar to him?
but……
Hearing Bai Meifeng's voice on the phone, Xu Tongdao narrowed his eyes, but did not speak, but listened to the voice on the other end of her phone.
Before the call was connected just now, he did not hear any cell phone ringing in the two bedrooms of Bai Lanlan's house. Although it is not certain yet, there is a high probability... Bai Meifeng is really not here, unless she mutes her cell phone in advance.
At this time, Comrade Xu listened to the noisy background sound from his mobile phone and immediately concluded that Bai Meifeng was really not here at this time.
Because in the noisy background of the phone, he faintly heard a few words.
——"Mom, mom! Open! Open!"
——"Hey! We've arrived at Shenshan Middle Road. Is anyone getting off the bus? If anyone is getting off, let me know! If you're not getting off, we'll stop..."
——"Give me a moment, give me a moment! Yes! Yes! Get off the car..."
…
Probably because Comrade Xu did not speak immediately, Bai Meifeng on the other end of the phone asked again: "Hello? Hello? Who are you looking for? Who are you? Can you hear me? Hello?"
On the other end of the phone, Comrade Xu opened his half-closed eyes, took the phone away from his ear, covered the phone receiver with his other hand, turned to Xi Dongyang next to him and said, "Tell her for me! Just tell her you're looking for her.
Your sister is teasing Xiaoqian!"
After speaking, he handed the phone to Xi Dongyang.
Xi Dongyang was confused for a moment, wondering why Xu Tongdao asked him to say this.
He also didn't know that Bai Meifeng was on the other end of the phone number Xu just dialed.
But he worked for Xu Tongdao and received Xu Tongdao's salary, so although he was confused, he still took the phone.
"Hello? I'm looking for Xiaoqian! I'm looking for Xiaoqian!"
As soon as Xi Dongyang finished speaking, he heard a middle-aged woman's voice coming from the mobile phone, "Ah? Who? No! No! You dialed the wrong number..."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Xi Dongyang blinked blankly, handed the phone back to Comrade Xu, and said awkwardly: "Hang up, hang up."
And this is the result that Comrade Xu wants.
The reason why Xi Dongyang was asked to speak for him just now was because he was afraid that Bai Meifeng would recognize his Comrade Xu's voice.
Just as Comrade Xu could recognize Bai Meifeng's voice at once, he was also worried that Bai Meifeng would recognize his voice at once.
If he had just hung up the call instead of handing the phone to Xi Dongyang and asking Xi Dongyang to say that, Xu Tongdao was worried that Bai Meifeng would be wary and guess that the call might be from him.
He didn't forget what Ge Lianghua told him on the phone not long ago - Bai Jingen's mobile phone call records showed that Bai Jingen called Bai Meifeng after escaping from Baiwan Village.
You don't need to ask to know that when Bai Jingen called Bai Meifeng, he must have told Bai Meifeng what Bai Jingjing heard him say to her on the phone...
Putting his cell phone back into his trouser pocket, Tongdao Xu forced a smile to the old lady who was still looking at him in confusion, "Since Bai Meifeng is not here, let's go first. Goodbye!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Xi Dongyang will follow immediately.
"Huh? Huh? You just left like that? Who are you?"
The old lady asked curiously from behind.
Comrade Xu was no longer interested in answering, and strode away without looking back.
At this time, the background noise he heard on the phone just now was still echoing in his mind.
——Kamiyama Middle Road?
--get off?
Is Bai Meifeng in the car now? The car just passed Shenshan Middle Road? She is fleeing Shazhou County after taking Bai Jingen's call?
