He Yu was standing far away, in a corner.

So no one noticed him.

Right now, this alley, which is neither a historical site nor an internet celebrity attraction, is surrounded by water. A lot of people holding up their phones were chattering.

Not long ago, Xie Qingcheng returned to Moyu Lane.

Xie Qingcheng came back by taxi.

—

Because he had been crazy with He Yu for too long yesterday, it was already late when he woke up, and after paying for the quarrel, it was already dark when he returned to Moyu Lane. Under normal circumstances, By this point everyone should be home for dinner.

But this is not the case at the entrance of Moyu Lane.

When Xie Qingcheng reached the neighborhood, he found a lot of policemen standing at the entrance of the alley. The policemen were blocking some people who were holding their mobile phones high and taking pictures and videos.

"The car can only stop here." The driver said that there was a one-way road ahead.

"Then stop here, thanks."

For a moment, he thought it was because his body was too uncomfortable and his eyes dazzled. Later, he realized that it was the onlookers who were stopped by the police who were frantically taking pictures and videos of him. In that battle, I don't know why the star came.

"It's him!"

"Xie Qingcheng, can you answer what the murder case of the radio and television tower has to do with you?"

"Why are your videos posted by criminals? Why don't you let others? Are you related to Chengkang Mental Hospital?"

"It is said on the Internet that you are also involved in the plot to carry out house arrest and molestation of mentally ill women, why don't you intend to clarify?"

"Xie Qingcheng, why are you insulting Professor Qin Ciyan? He is a national scholar! Do you have a conscience? You can still be a doctor and a teacher! Go to prison as soon as possible! "

Xie Qing already knew about the situation before submitting, because of the case of the Shanghai University Radio and Television Tower, their family has now become an unlucky ghost standing on the cusp of the storm. Some people spread the address of Xie Qingcheng's home on the Internet, so the small Internet celebrities who made the video, and the simple-minded passers-by, all began to rush to Moyu Lane like a man-eating pomfret smelling blood. .

Not to mention that his house was splashed with paint, and even his neighbors were implicated.

Aunt Li rushed out to reason with them, but was filmed and posted on the Internet, saying that this was Xie Qingcheng's mother, and the shrew was flirting.

Xie Xue was said to be even more outrageous, and was directly identified as Xie Qingcheng's concubine, a mistress.

The person who posted the video earned a lot of traffic.

Later Xie Xue cried and called the police, the police came, and Chen Man also came, and drove these people out of the alley, and the ones who made a lot of trouble were directly sent to the police station by Chen Man drink tea.

are you back?

"Shoot him!"

"Xie Qingcheng, look at the camera."

“…”

Look at your mom.

The little broken taxi in Huzhou was abruptly taken out of the supercar stance of the underworld boss.

"Brother! Brother!"

It was quiet in the alley, Xie Xue sat on the small stool in front of the house, and when she saw Xie Qingcheng, she flew over. She almost broke her waist, which was so painful, and took two steps back.

In normal times, her eldest brother can catch her with one hand, and even hold her in place for several laps. Now Xie Qingcheng can't even bear this blow, Xie Xue He was stunned for a moment, then raised his red eyes: "Brother, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"...It's okay." Xie Qingcheng coughed lightly, "I didn't stand firm."

Chen slow also came over: "Brother Xie."

No one spoke.

Auntie Li was wearing floral pajamas sitting under the old camphor tree and wiping her tears, and a pair of old slippers were worn backwards, tugging on her feet.

Xie Qingcheng hugged Xie Xue, patted the head and back of the girl in his arms comfortably, and looked around-because of the influx of Internet celebrities who made videos before, this shabby but quiet and elegant place There was chaos in the alley. Uncle Liu's flower pot was smashed, Aunt Zhao's fence was torn down, and even the husky's doghouse owned by Sister Wang's son next door was crowded into a pile of rotten wood.

How can these people be more beasts than it, and have dismantled its kennel?

What's more dazzling is that the walls and doors of Xie's house and the two surrounding households were splashed with blood-like paint, and some people used scarlet spray paint to write a few shocking "roll" characters .

What else can excite him now.

He just felt ashamed of inflicting others, so he was silent for a long time, then turned to the silent neighbors in the yard and said, "...Sorry for disturbing you."

After a while—

"Thank you..."

Grandma Zhang spoke up.

Xie Qingcheng didn't respond, he thought it was calling Xie Xue. He has not been called Xiao Xie by the neighbors for many years. Everyone thinks he is cold and powerful, and they call him Professor Xie Doctor Xie.

Xiao Xie was the name they used when he was studying.

It wasn't until Grandma Zhang walked over tremblingly, stretched out her old bark-like hand, and grabbed his arm, that he didn't realize that she was actually calling him.

"That, Xiao Xie, don't be afraid... We all put our mobile phones in the house, no one is holding them, no one here will shoot you and hurt you..."

Xie Qingcheng was stunned.

Only now did he see some worried tears in Grandma Zhang's cloudy old eyes.

"It's alright, baby, go home and get a good night's sleep, there are police outside, they can't come in, we'll clean the yard... Don't think too much, it's alright, it's alright."

"Yes, Xie, it's alright."

"That's a bunch of ghosts in human skins, don't take those internet celebrities too seriously."

"Yes, and my fence has been pierced for more than ten years. If it is broken, it is time to replace it with a new one."

"Brother Xie, my kennel can also be changed to a larger one. I bought it when I was a kid. It's too crowded to sleep now."

Xie Qingcheng was quite numb outside just now, he didn't feel anything, verbal violence was the most indifferent thing to him, but dust scum, don't mind, he didn't even bother to give a look The other party, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone.

At this moment, he looked at these old neighbors who had been with each other for more than 20 years, and suddenly felt that something was broken, hot, but dull painful.

"...I'm really sorry to bother you so much."

He didn't know what to say, especially when he saw that the white orchid that Uncle Liu's family kept in the yard was also trampled, and the pavilion-like flower tree fell in the mud and debris between pottery.

His heart also seemed to be cut by the fragments of the pottery pot, looking at Uncle Liu's hunched figure: "...this was planted by Aunt Sun before."

Concubine Sun is Uncle Liu's wife. She had lung cancer and went there a few years ago. She liked white orchids the most. She's still a big sister with a loud voice... Uncle Liu is also a sturdy uncle.

The flower tree that has not been destroyed by wind and rain for 20 years, was trampled by the crowd of people that night, and the trunk was broken by the waist.

Uncle Liu looked at the annual rings in the trunk, each ring like the shadow of the good old days, the ripples of her smile.

Xie Qingcheng is a tough guy, but this time, after he was silent for a long time, his voice was still uncontrollable, a little hoarse: "...Uncle, I'm sorry."

"...Ah, it's alright, Xiao Xie." After a long time, Uncle Liu came back to his senses in a daze. He walked over with a cane and patted Xie Qingcheng's Back, just like the uncle who worked in the steel factory when he was a child, patted the boy with a big hand like an iron tower.

"It's okay, it's just a tree, it's okay if people are okay, it's okay if people are okay. A tree... a tree can be... planted again..."

But when the old man said this, he couldn't help lowering his head and wiping his tears.

Uncle Liu wiped away his tears, and tried his best to put on a smile on his wrinkled face: "You bought this tree for Wanyun from the flower and bird market at that time. Your father Mom helped her to plant it, do you think I'm always confused? I still remember it."

"That's right, Xiao Xie, God has lived here for more than 20 years, what kind of person is Nong, what kind of person is Nong's mother and mother, Ala will not know? You and Xiaoxue still have neighbors, so you have to panic, you know? Come in and have a rest, take a shower, and see what Nong Chali looks like."

"That is to say, go and wash, your face is so ugly, hey, Nong's father and mother will feel heartache alive, heartache to death..."

Xie Xue raised her head from Xie Qingcheng's arms, looked at everyone with tears in her eyes, couldn't bear it any longer, and buried her head in her brother's arms again, wow, loudly cry.

Xie Qingcheng thanked and apologized repeatedly, and finally brought Xie Xue and the others back to the house.

Chen Man and Aunt Li also entered their room.

From the inside of the house to the outside, the paint sprinkled on the window is more like blood.

Xie Qingcheng: "…"

Chen slow: "Brother Xie, don't worry too much, these people are just like locusts crossing the border, they pass by at once, they are picking quarrels and provoking trouble, I asked my colleagues to find them one by one to settle accounts. There will be police guarding Moyu Lane these days, so there won't be any more problems..."

Xie Qingcheng coughed lightly. He was sore all over and he had a fever again. Now he was completely struggling, but the lights in the room were dim, and no one could see that he was obviously sick. Come.

He knocked out a cigarette, wanted to light it, saw Aunt Li, and put down the lighter.

“…”

"Brother, what should we do now..."

"Xiao Xie, was there any misunderstanding in the matter of Professor Qin at the time? You...you mentioned him a few times before, and they were all very respectful. You said those words...that's for sure ...There must be some reason." Aunt Li wiped her tears, "Can you think of a way to explain it? Ah? That way some people will stop chasing you and make it difficult for you..."

Xie Qingcheng: "…"

"Xiao Xie, talk to me."

It was a long, thick night outside.

The closest people in the house are nearby.

Xie Qing fiddled with the steel lighter unconsciously with slightly trembling fingers.

Finally, he threw the lighter aside, closed his eyes, his voice was hoarse and tired, but firm and stubborn: "No."

“…”

"No one has wronged me, I said it, and it's all my truth."

"I really can't stand the absurd things Qin Ciyan did. My mentality changed at that time, and his relationship with me was not very good. That's what I said on a whim, I owe it consider."

“…”

"But bro-"

"I'm not perfect, Xie Xue. Your brother is just an ordinary person, you will be afraid, you will be worried, you were so young at that time, I watched him get killed, I can't do it anymore Sticking with it in the health system... I'm scared, I quit. That's how it is."

A little silence.

Xie Xue's voice was like a helpless kitten: "...Brother, can't you tell the truth even with us?"

It's the truth. I'm sorry... I let you down."

The conversation of the night ended in a long silence.

Xie Qingcheng is a very stubborn person, this is very clear to the three listeners in the room.

"There is 30,000 yuan in this card, Aunt Li, you can take it. It is impossible for us to say that we will not pay for the damage to the neighbor's house. If it wasn't for me They will not be implicated by this for no reason." Xie Qingcheng said, "I will find a way to deal with the rest of the situation. You can stay at home and don't run out."

"Xie Xie..."

Xie Qingcheng's eyes are very similar to his mother's, the same peach blossom eyes as Zhou Muying, and the same toughness as Zhou Muying.

Auntie Li's heart twitched again.

This woman was interrogated in the mission to fight against crime.

Li Miaoqing refused to accept anyone at that time, took a cigarette and asked the police to come, sat in the interrogation room, and refused to explain a word.

She said I'm a **** with a smelly crotch, what's the matter, you caught me, I'll go back and sell it, I want you to take care of me!

Zhou Muying said, Li Miaoqing, you are only seventeen years old. I don't want to send you in, you go in there, and after you come out, your whole life is covered in ink.

I know you have no parents, no family, this is my business card, this is our office phone, this is my home phone, private.

You have something to ask me. I'm not just a cop, I'm a woman, a mom. I don't want to watch a girl who isn't even an adult go down that road.

You can call me Mu Ying instead of Officer Zhou.

I can help you, don't be afraid.

At that time, it was that pair of peach eyes, looking over in the interrogation room and looking at her.

Li Miaoqing felt like an earthquake, the source of which was the heart that had been riddled with holes.

She later became one of Zhou Muying's three friends.

This relationship has been very stable. Zhou Muying has been taking care of this stray girl, pity her on New Years and festivals, and let her come to her home for dinner, never looking down on her.

Zhou Muying and Xie Ping couldn't find a suitable place to live when they were down, so Li Miaoqing asked them about a second-hand house transaction in Moyu Lane where she lived, so they became neighbors.

After more than 20 years of ups and downs, Li Miaoqing never came into contact with those filthy flesh to make a living. She worked as a cheongsam, a tailor, and sewed one after another gorgeous gown for Zhou Muying .

Now Li Miaoqing has freckles on her temples, and Zhou Muying is the bone under the spring.

Because Li Miaoqing knew that Officer Zhou was not only a police officer, she was also a woman, a mother and a wife.

She is beautiful.

She is the most beautiful...with those firm, bright eyes.

Now these eyes seem to be separated by years, looking at Li Miaoqing, who already has wrinkles on her face.

Xie Qingcheng: "So many things have come, this is really nothing to me."

Li Miaoqing sighed and said nothing more.

Xie Qingcheng settled the woman and the girl to rest.

It started to rain outside.

The night is getting darker.

Xie Qingcheng put on an autumn coat, took two umbrellas, and handed one to Chen Man.

"Go back early."

"...Brother, don't you live here tonight?" Chen Wan was a little surprised. He thought that according to Xie Qingcheng's character, he would definitely accompany Xie Xue today.

But Xie Qingcheng couldn't hold it anymore.

His forehead was as hot as fire, and his body was limp, not to mention the indescribable pain and numbness somewhere.

If Chen slow is more careful, he will find that Xie Qingcheng didn't sit down very much tonight.

"No more. The school has something to do. I have to go back to the dormitory first."

"Then I'll give it to you..."

Xie Qingcheng pushed open the door, and the coolness of the autumn rain blew in outside.

"No." He took the **** carbon handle umbrella, wrapped the autumn windbreaker tightly, and walked into the dark night.

He couldn't disguise for too long, he could feel the cold sweat penetrated his back, hot flashes came on the ground one after another, his face was hot, his eyes were dizzy, and half of his consciousness was lost. It was as if he had been pulled out of his body.

Chen slow: "Then you..."

"Go. I worked hard for you today. You also go home early."

When I walked out of the alley, it was already past two in the morning, and there were still people waiting outside in the rain. Xie Qingcheng admired their perseverance. He called a taxi inside the cordon, the car came, he took his umbrella and got into the taxi, shutting out the explosive noise and flashing lights.

As soon as he got in the car, he couldn't hold it anymore, leaned back on the back seat tiredly, raised his hand and closed his eyes: "..."

Brother: "Brother, where are you going?"

“…”

"Big Brother?"

The other party called for a second time, and Xie Qingcheng recovered from the burning blur.

He knew he should actually go to the hospital.

But he doesn't want to go at all, how should he tell the doctor when he goes?

How did he explain to the doctor the cause of the fever?

He is a doctor himself.

Go back and take some anti-inflammatories.

Thinking like this, Xie Qingcheng replaced the hospital between his lips and teeth with: "Shanghai Medical Science and Teaching Staff Dormitory Building, trouble."

The taxi is gone.

Xie Qingcheng did not see Chen slow standing among the noisy crowd, standing for a long time, the little policeman frowned worriedly, and finally turned back and went back to Moyu Lane, after a while Come out again.

He didn't even see He Yu sitting behind the glass window in the 24h convenience store across the road, drinking a cup of coffee.

He Yu threw away the coffee, pressed the brim of his hat, and walked out of the convenience store.

The author has something to say:Little Theater:

"If Zhou Muying is alive, her opinion on Chen Man and He Yu"

Zhou Muying: Chen slow is a good boy, but he is too hasty, he should learn to slow down.

Chen slow: …Isn’t my appearance in these chapters slow enough, auntie?

Zhou Muying: He Yu, children can tell the police if they have any difficulties, come, come to the office with me, let me ask you what happened that day in the clubhouse, Qingcheng is so strong , did he bully you?

He Yu: Yes, Auntie, he bullied me, I have been ridiculed for many days... (wronged)

Xie Qingcheng:…

Note:

"That's right, Xiao Xie, God has lived here for more than 20 years, what kind of person is Nong, what kind of person is Nong's mother and mother, Ala will not know? You and Xiaoxue still have neighbors, so you have to panic, you know? Come in and have a rest, take a shower, and see what Nong Chali looks like."

Dialect. It means "Yes, Xiao Xie, we have lived together for more than 20 years, what kind of person are you, what kind of people are your parents, we don't know? What is going on outside, you and Xiaoxue have neighbors. Neighbor, don't worry, you know? Go in and have a rest, take a shower, you look tired."
