By the time we finished packing, it was already dawn.
The sun gradually turned from pale yellow to warm orange, the coldness of the early morning gradually disappeared, and the wind-numbed limbs gradually began to warm up.
Even I am frozen like this, how can Xiaomei, a girl, endure it?
I looked at the roof and suddenly had an idea in my mind.
"Xiao Mei."
I cleared my throat and called over my shoulder, "Come outside with me."
Xiaomei walked, dealing with the poop in her eyes, and walked to me in a few steps.
Only then did I realize that taking on an apprentice, especially a female apprentice, was definitely not that easy.
Apart from other things, at least the basic life problems need to be solved.
Find a way to dig a well.
These things are only in my mind, not spoken out.
Xiaomei's walking speed was obviously unable to keep up with mine, and she almost followed me at a trot.
Just in time for some exercise.
As we walked, I assigned tasks: "You go to Anding Hospital first and find two people for me."
"who?"
"One is named Chen Lei. His wife used to be a nurse in the hospital. You should be able to find out."
I slowed down my pace a little: "Also, the couple I injured last time."
"Then I saw it, what should I say?"
"In one sentence, tell them that I didn't run away, and none of the promises that should be fulfilled will be left behind."
Xiaomei took out the note from her bag, recorded it carefully, and muttered: "Not even one is missing."
When she stuffed the note back into her pocket, she asked again: "Then what are you going to do, master?"
"Going to meet someone very important."
After saying goodbye to Xiaomei, I took out Zhang Hanshan's ID card from my pocket.
I took a closer look and saw that Zhang Hanshan lived in an old city. On the way to his home, the number of cars gradually decreased and was replaced by various motorcycles.
As the bus progressed, the small earth-grey building had a low floor, only three or five floors.
The green plants on the roadside are not trees, but vegetables such as green onions and leeks.
At first glance, it has a pastoral atmosphere.
Most of the ground is still sandy roads, and only when you reach the main street can you see the asphalt road.
I follow the "Who are you looking for?"
"Is it Zhang Hanshan's family?"
The young man looked hesitant: "Zhang Hanshan? Is that the tall, fat elder brother?"
"This house used to belong to his family, but he later moved away."
I was a little disappointed for a moment, but he pointed downstairs again: "When you go out and turn left, you can see a large and elegant bungalow. They live there now."
As soon as I heard this, I immediately became energetic, thanked her in a hurry, and strode downstairs.
When I passed the fruit stall, I bought some fruits. After walking a few steps, I saw a rather grand courtyard.
Although there are no carved beams or painted buildings in the courtyard, the shiny red lacquer door with two lions on one left and one on the right looks quite impressive.
If we go back a few decades, this must be the mansion of a wealthy landlord.
Tsk.
This is a bit incomprehensible. If Zhang Hanshan's family was well-off, why would he work hard with Chen Changming?
Thinking about it carefully, I felt relieved. That was a pervert, and most people would definitely not be able to understand it.
"Dong dong dong."
I knocked on the door gently, and the door opened a crack, and an old lady wearing a sun hat walked out.
Just one glance and I knew I had found the right person.
picture! They look so much alike! It is simply carved out of the same mold!
"Are you Zhang Hanshan's mother?"
The old lady raised the brim of her hat and said with a warm smile, "Are you Huzi's friend?"
Tiger?
It's probably Zhang Hanshan's nickname, right?
I quickly laughed a few times and handed the fruit over to him: "Yes, he hasn't been back for a long time, right?"
"No!" Zhang Hanshan's mother took it over with a smile: "He is busy with work and doesn't come back often."
"Quick, quick, come into the house and talk."
The old lady was very kind and didn't take any precautions against me. She just opened the courtyard door and let me in.
The yard is quite spacious, and there is also a Mercedes-Benz SUV parked inside. It is as box-shaped as a box, which matches Zhang Hanshan's figure quite well.
As far as I know, this car is really expensive.
The old lady led the way, and I followed closely behind, until we entered the living room.
When you enter the living room, the most eye-catching thing is not the furniture, but the photo wall facing the window.
What surprised me even more was that in these photos, they were all photos with Chen Changming, not even a photo of his mother.
