Chapter 132 Old man, you have to take good care of mom
Chapter 132 Old man, you have to take good care of mom
How lively it is to gather together, how deserted it is when alone.
Cheng Moqiong returned to Yuancheng, pushed open the door, and looked at Nuo Da's house, only the quiet dust greeted her return silently and coldly.
Cheng Moqiong pulled the suitcase, closed the door, and said to herself, "I have to start living alone again..."
Suddenly remembering the kitten that was still in the consignment, Cheng Moqiong showed a satisfied smile, "However, when Wangcai comes back in a few days, I won't be alone!"
Pulling the suitcase back to the room and throwing it in the corner, Cheng Moqiong went into the bathroom intending to take a hot bath, sleep for a while, and then get up to pack things.
Picking up a towel to wipe her hair, Cheng Moqiong heard the phone ringing anxiously, which hadn't rang for a long time.
Seeing the two words flashing on the screen, Cheng Haoqiong answered the phone, said with a smile, "Zhen Ping, have you missed my sweet voice so soon?"
A choked voice came from the other end of the phone, "Orange..."
Hearing her sobbing, Cheng Moqiong asked in a panic, "Zhen Ping, you... what's wrong with you?"
"Old man... old man, he... is gone..."
"What! What do you mean by gone?"
"..."
There was only wailing on the phone, and there was no more sound.
Cheng Moqiong frowned, and asked anxiously, "Are you at home? Wait for me, I'll go over now!"
Cheng Moqiong put down the phone, quickly changed her clothes, ran out of the road, stopped a taxi, and rushed towards Luocheng.
As soon as he got in the car, Cheng Moqiong quickly took out his mobile phone and contacted other people.She didn't know exactly what happened, but judging from Zhen Ping's performance, it must be something serious.
Who are you looking for?Once Cheng Haoqiong panicked, his head would short-circuit easily.Flipping through the phone book, I saw Lin Yaoyao's name, yes, I'm looking for her!
The moment the phone was connected, Cheng Moqiong turned directly to the other end and shouted, "Yaoyao, something happened to Zhen Ping!"
"What happened to Ping'er?"
"I don't know, I'm going to visit her house now. I don't know if Papa Zhen has something to do."
"Well, I'll call Ping'er now, no, I'd better go to her house from Yangcheng now."
"Well, okay, see you later."
Cheng Haoqiong hung up the phone, put his palms together and meditated to drive faster.It takes more than half an hour from Yuancheng to Luocheng, I don't know what will happen to Zhen Ping alone.Is there anyone in Luocheng who can go to see her earlier?
Yes, find Liu Shu!
The phone rang, and a cold voice came from the other end, "Orange."
"Liu Shu, can you go to Zhen Ping's house to see her now? I heard her say that Zhen Ping's father is gone. I don't know what happened."
"I go now."
Before Cheng Haoqiong could say another word, Liu Shu had already hung up the phone.
Half an hour's journey is so far away, as if walking from the equator to the northernmost point of the earth, getting closer but getting colder.
After getting out of the car, Cheng Moqiong ran into the apartment, saw that the elevator was still on the top floor, and couldn't wait to run up to the eighth floor through the safe passage.
Cheng Moqiong stood at the door panting, and rang the doorbell.
It was Liu Shu who opened the door.Zhen Ping was sitting on the sofa hugging a pillow, two clear tear stains hung on her face, but she didn't respond at all.
For a moment, Cheng Moqiong felt that the strong Zhen Ping was just a little baby abandoned by the world.
"Zhen Ping, what's the matter with you?" Cheng Moqiong ran over, put his arm around her shoulder and asked softly.
"Chengzi..." Zhen Ping put down the pillow, hugged Cheng Moqiong's waist tightly, and hid her head in her arms.
The muffled voice could only utter a few intermittent sounds because of choking, but Cheng Moqiong could still hear it clearly.
"Old man...he died on duty...I don't have a father anymore..."
Liu Shu, who was standing aside, frowned slightly. On the one hand, he felt that she was crying too bleakly, and on the other hand, the news really surprised her.
Cheng Haoqiong's movements paused, and then he hugged her tightly, his voice trembling: "Father Zhen, how could... when did it happen?"
"I don't know, I can't hear, his colleagues told me..."
How could such a thing happen in just a few days?Cheng Haoqiong asked in disbelief, "Could it be that Papa Zhen was joking with you?"
"Yes, he must be joking with me. Let's go to Luocheng Hospital now!" Zhen Ping heard Cheng Moqiong's words, his eyes flashed with anticipation, wiped his tears with the back of his hand, and hurriedly stood up, run outside.
"The old man must be joking with me, to retaliate against me for not taking him out to play..."
"He must miss me very much, in fact, I also miss him..."
Zhen Ping ran very fast, but Cheng Moqiong and Liu Shu could only hear her talking to herself from the front.
"Aren't you afraid that she will be disappointed later?"
Liu Shu's voice was never warm, but it made Cheng Moqiong's eyes turn red, "I just can't believe that Papa Zhen really passed away."
Cheng Haoqiong had already forgotten how they left when they went to the hospital that day and saw the charred corpse in the morgue.
During the funeral, Zhen Ping remained silent, only her red eyes showed her sadness.
Zhen Hao was hit in the head by a bullet from the other party while chasing the gangster by car. The uncontrolled car crashed into the mountain and exploded, burning the people and the car in the raging fire.
In Tahiti, Zhen Ping's mobile phone has no signal, and Zhen Hao's colleagues cannot contact her.After she came back, she dialed the number that had called her several times, only to realize that the uneasiness that day was really an ominous forecast.
They were worried that Zhen Ping would feel sad if she was alone at home, and they couldn't face this fact.So Cheng Haoqiong invited her to live with him in Yuancheng for a while.
"Okay, I'll pack some things first."
Zhen Ping walked into his room holding Zhen Hao's posthumous photo, and put it next to his mother's photo.The smiling woman in the photo is very young, and her eyebrows are very similar to Zhen Ping.
"Old man, you'll be fine. From now on, you can be with your mother." Zhen Ping looked at the person in the photo and complained in tears, "But why don't you want me anymore..."
After a long time, Zhen Ping gently closed the door and went back to the room to pack a few sets of clothes.Before going out, she stopped, thought for a while, and then went back to put their only photo album in the duffel bag.
"Mom and Dad, I'll come back to see you in a while. Old man, you have to take good care of Mom!"
There was no response in the empty room, Zhen Ping sneered and closed the door disappointed.
Cheng Moqiong and the others waited downstairs for a long time, and finally saw her figure appearing at the door.Cheng Moqiong walked over and asked with concern, "Zhen Ping, are you alright?"
Zhen Ping nodded, "Let's go."
The driver opened the door, and Cheng Moqiong let Zhen Ping get in the car first.Suddenly there was a loud noise overhead, which stopped them in their tracks.
Thick smoke billowed from the unit on the eighth floor, and the flames trapped in the house escaped from the windowsill from time to time.The siren sounded at the right time, urging the people in the building to flee the fire.
Lin Yaoyao looked at the thick smoke upstairs in surprise, swallowed her saliva, and asked uncertainly, "Ping'er, didn't you set the fire?"
If so, Zhen Ping is really...too capricious!
Zhen Ping shook her head, frowned, and looked at her home solemnly.There, there is no going back.Her home is gone.
Since then, she has not only no father and no mother, but also homeless.Oh, God really treats her kindly.
The smile on the corner of Zhen Ping's mouth was a hint of self-mockery with a chill, and there was endless sadness in her eyes.
"Fortunately, Zhen Ping, you came down in time!" Cheng Moqiong rejoiced that Zhen Ping was fine now.If she hadn't come down, the consequences would be disastrous.
"How could it explode for no reason?"
Since it wasn't Zhen Ping who set the fire, who was it?Could it be the enemy?Lin Yaoyao, who has been implanted with systematic conspiracy theories in her head by the novel, has a mature plan to take revenge on the criminals captured by Zhen Hao after they are released after serving their sentences.
"Let's go." Zhen Ping turned around and got into the car.
"Aren't you waiting for the police to find out what's going on?" Lin Yaoyao looked at her back and asked in puzzlement.
Zhen Ping didn't respond to her, Lin Yaoyao muttered in a low voice: "Isn't Ping'er the one who likes to join in the fun? Why is it so abnormal today?"
Cheng Moqiong stretched out her finger to flick her head, and reminded: "What time is it now, how can she be in the mood to watch the fun?"
"But, don't you think the explosion was sudden? Maybe it has something to do with the death of Zhen's father..."
Today's Lin Yaoyao doesn't know why she is so persistent, just like the usual Zhen Ping.But it is obvious that Zhen Ping is unable to care about these things now.Cheng Haoqiong pushed Lin Yaoyao into the car, and advised, "We'll talk about this later, Zhen Ping is not in a good condition right now."
"but……"
Hu Qiaoguang who was standing aside said impatiently, "Get in the car."
All the handsome seniors started talking, how dare Lin Yaoyao not listen.When the words I wanted to say came to my lips, I immediately swallowed them back to my stomach with interest to warm my stomach.
Because of Zhen Ping's depression, the atmosphere in the car was very heavy along the way.Zhen Ping kept looking down at the black pearl in her hand, it was a gift she specially brought back for the old man.
Cheng Moqiong and Lin Yaoyao looked at each other, shook their heads, and told her to be quiet.
Except for Lin Yaoyao, everyone here has experienced life and death.They all know that at this time, only time can appease her sadness.
A black commercial vehicle stopped in front of a white European-style villa.Before Cheng Moqiong got out of the car, Hu Qiaoguang stopped her, "I'm going back to Dongcheng to deal with some things, call me if you need anything."
"Well, go back quickly!" After Cheng Moqiong finished speaking, he jumped out of the car and walked into the compound without looking back.
Seeing her abandoning him so "ruthlessly", Hu Qiaoguang couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
Liu Shu didn't say anything, and stayed by their side for the past few days, silently accompanying Zhen Ping.That day she arrived at Zhen Ping's house first, and she just looked at Zhen Ping quietly.She didn't know how to comfort her, and she didn't know how to comfort her.
After Cheng Moqiong finished cooking, she asked Lin Yaoyao to go up to her room and told Zhen Ping to go downstairs for dinner.
Zhen Ping, who looked like a walking dead, just gnawed on the rice dully.As I ate and ate, my tears couldn't help but fall down again.
"Zhen Ping, the food isn't good, so let's stop eating it. Don't cry, okay?" Such Zhen Ping made Cheng Moqiong's heart ache, as if what she saw was herself two years ago.
"Do you think the old man dislikes my cooking, so he doesn't want me?"
Zhen Ping held the bowl, raised her head, and looked at Cheng Moqiong blankly with red teary eyes.
"If I don't go to Tahiti and I stay with him all the time, won't he get angry and take revenge on me?"
Cheng Moqiong walked over, took the bowl and chopsticks from her stiff hands, hugged her, and comforted her softly, "Zhen Ping, don't do this, okay?"
"I must be dreaming, am I not?"
"You tell me I'm dreaming. The old man is still alive."
Lin Yaoyao couldn't bear such a heavy atmosphere, and cursed heartbrokenly: "Ping'er, wake up, it's true! Everything is true! You have to be brave to accept this fact!"
Cheng Huoqiong shook her head, signaling Lin Yaoyao not to continue talking.
"Facts?" Zhen Ping repeated with a wry smile, "Facts...fuck the facts! Fuck the gods! I don't have a mother anymore, I don't have a father anymore, I don't have anything, I don't even have a home .I'm just a ridiculous orphan..."
The silent crying turned into howling, even Lin Yaoyao couldn't help but her eyes turned red.
"shut up!"
The three of them were stunned by Liu Shu's sudden roar, and stared at her blankly.
"Can crying change the truth? Can the dead cry back? No matter how sad the cry is, she can't hear it. She can never hear it. Oh, what's the use of crying?"
There was some sadness in Liu Shu's cold voice, and his unfocused eyes seemed to be caught in memories, as if he was recalling someone who had passed away.
"Yes, he can't hear." Zhen Ping murmured, reaching out to cover her chest, "But I'm in pain, it hurts, I can't breathe..."
"Zhen Ping, give yourself some time, it will be fine."
"Ping'er, you have to be strong."
Seeing the three hugging and crying bitterly, Liu Shu frowned slightly, stood up and walked back to the room.
During this time, Liu Shu and Lin Yaoyao have been staying at Cheng Moqiong's house, accompanying Zhen Ping.Don't let her think wildly when she is bored alone.
Zhen Ping gradually accepted the fact that Zhen Hao had left.Occasionally, under the teasing of Lin Yaoyao and Cheng Moqiong, he could still pull out a far-fetched smile.
School will start in a few days, is Zhen Ping going back to Luocheng?
During the meal, Lin Yaoyao worriedly asked, "Ping'er, what are your plans for the future?"
While eating, Cheng Huoqiong, who was teasing Wangcai, stopped what she was doing and looked at them in surprise, anxiously waiting for Zhen Ping's answer.
"I don't have any plans. Stay here until Cheng Zi drives me away." Zhen Ping's chopsticks paused for a moment, then picked up the dishes from the plate and put them in the bowl, and said calmly.
"Then you go back to class?"
Zhen Ping shook her head, "I won't come back."
Cheng Moqiong and Lin Yaoyao looked up at her in surprise at the same time, and asked in unison: "Why!"
Liu Shu raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at her.
Zhen Ping said solemnly, "I have no money to pay the tuition."
"I'll lend it to you."
"I'll pay it for you."
Two voices sounded at the same time, Cheng Moqiong and Lin Yaoyao looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Cheng Haoqiong patted her chest and said with a smile: "Anyway, you don't have to worry about the tuition fee. I'm here for everything, sister, I'll take care of you!"
"I'm going to go to the army."
"Didn't you just say that you have no plans?" Lin Yaoyao said casually, and suddenly realized what she said, "Wait, what? Go to the army?"
Zhen Ping, who has always been weak, seems to have grown up all of a sudden.The tone of the speech made people feel a little deep, "Well, I didn't plan to go to the army."
Cheng Haoqiong asked excitedly: "Zhen Ping, why are you going to the army when you are so good?"
"Food and lodging are included in the army, and there are subsidies."
"Is it not enough for me to support you? Why do you want to go to the army? The army is very hard!"
A trace of hatred flickered in Zhen Ping's eyes, and she said coldly, "I want to be a soldier to avenge the old man."
Cheng Haoqiong frowned slightly, "Revenge?"
"So it's really the enemy's revenge!" Lin Yaoyao tried her best to suppress the little joy in her heart, but she didn't expect that she really guessed right.However, this occasion does not seem suitable for laughing.
Liu Shu immediately thought of the crux of the problem, "What did they tell you to go to the police station that day?"
One day, Zhen Ping received a call from the Luocheng Police Department, asking her to assist in the investigation.Cheng Zhuqiong and the others accompanied her to the police station, but they didn't ask about what they said between them.
"A time bomb was installed at home. And the person who killed the old man that day was his old acquaintance."
Zhen Ping's tone did not fluctuate, but it made people feel the coldness of the heart.
"Can't we catch the murderer?" After Lin Yaoyao finished speaking, she belatedly realized that she had asked a very stupid question.
"No. They are unwilling to say more. I must investigate the truth of the matter and bring that person to justice."
Zhen Ping's eyes revealed a convincing firmness, and Cheng Moqiong knew that nothing could change her ideology.
"If you have made up your mind, we will support you. When will you go?"
"Early next month."
Lin Yaoyao widened her eyes in surprise, and confirmed in disbelief: "Just a few days?"
Zhen Ping nodded, "Yes."
Don't let death make people sad, life and death also make people sad.
Parting is imminent, no matter how bright the smile is, it is just a forced laugh.
On August 8st, the day of registration for the new term at Huaqiao Middle School, the four of them stayed at Cheng Moqiong's villa for today's last supper.
Tomorrow is the day when Zhen Ping enlists in the army, and the three of them specially asked for leave to see her off.After tomorrow, maybe they won't be able to see each other for a long time.
The four talked and laughed, but no one took the initiative to mention the sad tomorrow.It seems that parting is still very far away.
The next day, Lin Yaoyao woke up very consciously.Cheng Haoqiong took Wangcai with them to see Zhen Ping into the car.
Along the way, Lin Yaoyao suddenly turned into a chatterbox, took Zhen Ping's hand, and said, "Ping'er, you must take care of yourself and be safe!"
"Come on. I'm not your medicine jar, you have to pay attention to your body."
"Ping'er, life is not as important as life. If you are in danger, run faster!"
Zhen Ping chuckled, stretched out her index finger and tapped her nose, "There's no need to fight now, so there's no danger."
When Lin Yaoyao thought that after tomorrow, no one would supervise her to eat less at night, and no one would wake her up in the morning, her nose felt sore and itchy. "Ping'er, if you miss me... you must come back quickly!"
"Why are you so hypocritical!" Zhen Ping sneered disdainfully, but her red eyes betrayed her reluctance.
Cheng Haoqiong took out a key from his pocket and handed it to Zhen Ping. "Zhen Ping, here is the key to our house, take it away. Remember to come back when you are on vacation."
"Okay." Zhen Ping smiled and took the key from her hand.
This month, there is their home.Fortunately, with their company.
Zhen Ping glanced at their faces one by one, nodded, and said with tears in her eyes, "I will miss you all. Wait until I come back."
"Ping'er, take it well. This is the amulet I've been carrying since I was a child. It will definitely bring you back safely."
A clear obsidian ring is strung on a silver chain, reflecting the dazzling light in the sun. "Take your amulet with you."
"No, I don't feel at ease if you don't take it. Can't you let me live in peace?"
Unable to withstand Lin Yaoyao's various coaxing threats, Zhen Ping had no choice but to accept the ring and give her back the silver chain.
Others have already boarded the car one after another.Zhen Ping breathed out, forced back tears, smiled, and said, "I'm leaving, you guys go back."
"Ping'er..." Lin Yaoyao hugged Zhen Ping, and it took a long time before she let go.
Cheng Haoqiong hugged Zhen Ping, and he could only say a thousand words: "Zhen Ping, remember to write back."
Cheng Moqiong let go, Zhen Ping walked up to Liu Shu, smiled, "Liu Shu, goodbye."
Unexpectedly, Liu Shu stretched out his hands to hug her gently, and a cold voice rang in her ears, "Take care."
Zhen Ping lowered her head, looked at the kitten in Cheng Moqiong's arms, and said with a smile, "Wangcai, do you want to say goodbye to me?"
"Meow……"
During the time at Cheng Zhuqiong's house, Wangcai seemed to feel her sadness, and he didn't even refuse her approach.Sometimes he would take the initiative to come over and tease her.
"Mm, so cute!" Zhen Ping poked the tip of its nose with a smile.
Wangcai stretched out his cat's paw and patted her forehead with lightning speed.
"Oates! Wangcai, you attacked me again!" Zhen Ping exaggeratedly covered her forehead and complained.
"Ha ha……"
This little episode added a little smile to the sad parting, and also drew a heavy end.
Watching the bus drive out of his field of vision and disappear into the corner in the distance, Cheng Zhuqiong thought about the little things that happened between Zhen Ping and Zhen Ping this year.There are misunderstandings, forgiveness, and more laughter and concern.
no party last forever.Hope she comes back sooner.
Cheng Moqiong turned her head and said to the two people beside her, "Let's go, let's go back."
The school does not allow pets to be kept in the dormitory. Although Cheng Moqiong is reluctant to make a fortune, he still has to obediently abide by the school's rules and regulations.
Lin Yaoyao's luggage was at Cheng Zhuqiong's house, and the car sent by Liu Shu followed them to Liu's house to put Wangcai there.
At Liu Shu's home, Cheng Moqiong believed that she would let the servants take care of Wangcai.
Because she had to accompany Zhen Ping, Cheng Moqiong hadn't come to Luocheng to see Granny Hua for a long time.Now that she came to Liu's house, she decided to go in and say hello to Granny Hua.
Cheng Zhuqiong saw Huayan standing in the flowerbed cutting flowers, and shouted loudly, "Grandma Hua!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Huayan turned her head joyfully, and deliberately showed the face of a resentful woman, "Little Chengzi, you are finally willing to come and see me!"
"Hey, I..." Cheng Moqiong smiled embarrassedly, but Wangcai in his arms struggled violently to jump out.
"Meow meow meow……"
Huayan wanted to dodge this "hidden weapon" at first, but when she saw clearly that it was a cat, she reached out and hugged it excitedly.
Wangcai jumped straight onto Huayan's body, and obediently rubbed against her arms.
Huayan hugged Wangcai happily, and gently stroked its hair with her white and smooth hands, "Xiaobai, you are finally here!"
"Meow meow……"
They seem very familiar?Cheng Moqiong was confused, frowned and asked, "Grandma Hua, do you know Wangcai from my family?"
"Wangcai? Hahaha... With such a vulgar name, Xiaobai will be angry!" Huayan let out a crisp laugh, which was very inconsistent with her wrinkled face.
"Xiaochengzi, where did you find Xiaobai? No, Xiaobai is so naughty, so I call you Wangcai! Well, I will punish you."
"Meow meow……"
"When we were in Tahiti, the handsome senior and I went to find the goddess in red. On the small island where she lived, Wangcai followed me. So I took it in and brought it back." Cheng Moqiong said in a few words. The reason is explained clearly.
"Oh, that's how it is." It was really fate.Huayan gave Cheng Zhuqiong a pitiful look, she just felt sorry for the girl.
"However, Granny Hua, why do you call it Xiaobai?"
Huayan smiled slightly, and replied casually: "I've seen it on the island before. I saw it was so white, so I called it Xiaobai. I haven't seen it for a long time, so I'm a little excited."
"Oh." Cheng Moqiong nodded, the last time Granny Hua saw it was at least a few years ago, right?She exclaimed: "Wow, Wangcai, you have grown up for so many years, how come you are still a kitten!"
Huayan's eyes flickered with anxiety, and she explained with an embarrassed smile: "Maybe it's a breed problem. Right, Wangcai?"
"Meow meow……"
"This breed is so good, it's always youthful, and it's always been cute!" Cheng Moqiong didn't suspect anything, and poked its face with a smile.
Cheng Moqiong remembered her purpose of coming here, and asked anxiously: "Grandma Hua, can I ask you to help take care of Wangcai? My school can't keep pets, and there is no one to take care of it at home. I will take it back during the holidays."
"Of course it's fine! I'll take good care of it for you."
Huayan agreed without thinking, and seeing her expression, she was obviously very happy.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Granny Hua."
After Cheng Zhuqiong and Lin Yaoyao had dinner at Liu's house, they went back to school with Liu Shu.
After Cheng Moqiong made her own bed, she helped Lin Yaoyao pack her things.In the past, Zhen Ping always took care of Lin Yaoyao, so her departure was the saddest for Lin Yaoyao.
In the eight-person dormitory, there are only seven beds with beds.And the one that originally belonged to Zhen Ping was empty, like a corner of their hearts was missing.
In just one summer vacation, so many changes have taken place.Oh, life is really changing.
Well, I uploaded it wrong yesterday, this one is new.
I promise, there is no upload error this time.
(End of this chapter)
How lively it is to gather together, how deserted it is when alone.
Cheng Moqiong returned to Yuancheng, pushed open the door, and looked at Nuo Da's house, only the quiet dust greeted her return silently and coldly.
Cheng Moqiong pulled the suitcase, closed the door, and said to herself, "I have to start living alone again..."
Suddenly remembering the kitten that was still in the consignment, Cheng Moqiong showed a satisfied smile, "However, when Wangcai comes back in a few days, I won't be alone!"
Pulling the suitcase back to the room and throwing it in the corner, Cheng Moqiong went into the bathroom intending to take a hot bath, sleep for a while, and then get up to pack things.
Picking up a towel to wipe her hair, Cheng Moqiong heard the phone ringing anxiously, which hadn't rang for a long time.
Seeing the two words flashing on the screen, Cheng Haoqiong answered the phone, said with a smile, "Zhen Ping, have you missed my sweet voice so soon?"
A choked voice came from the other end of the phone, "Orange..."
Hearing her sobbing, Cheng Moqiong asked in a panic, "Zhen Ping, you... what's wrong with you?"
"Old man... old man, he... is gone..."
"What! What do you mean by gone?"
"..."
There was only wailing on the phone, and there was no more sound.
Cheng Moqiong frowned, and asked anxiously, "Are you at home? Wait for me, I'll go over now!"
Cheng Moqiong put down the phone, quickly changed her clothes, ran out of the road, stopped a taxi, and rushed towards Luocheng.
As soon as he got in the car, Cheng Moqiong quickly took out his mobile phone and contacted other people.She didn't know exactly what happened, but judging from Zhen Ping's performance, it must be something serious.
Who are you looking for?Once Cheng Haoqiong panicked, his head would short-circuit easily.Flipping through the phone book, I saw Lin Yaoyao's name, yes, I'm looking for her!
The moment the phone was connected, Cheng Moqiong turned directly to the other end and shouted, "Yaoyao, something happened to Zhen Ping!"
"What happened to Ping'er?"
"I don't know, I'm going to visit her house now. I don't know if Papa Zhen has something to do."
"Well, I'll call Ping'er now, no, I'd better go to her house from Yangcheng now."
"Well, okay, see you later."
Cheng Haoqiong hung up the phone, put his palms together and meditated to drive faster.It takes more than half an hour from Yuancheng to Luocheng, I don't know what will happen to Zhen Ping alone.Is there anyone in Luocheng who can go to see her earlier?
Yes, find Liu Shu!
The phone rang, and a cold voice came from the other end, "Orange."
"Liu Shu, can you go to Zhen Ping's house to see her now? I heard her say that Zhen Ping's father is gone. I don't know what happened."
"I go now."
Before Cheng Haoqiong could say another word, Liu Shu had already hung up the phone.
Half an hour's journey is so far away, as if walking from the equator to the northernmost point of the earth, getting closer but getting colder.
After getting out of the car, Cheng Moqiong ran into the apartment, saw that the elevator was still on the top floor, and couldn't wait to run up to the eighth floor through the safe passage.
Cheng Moqiong stood at the door panting, and rang the doorbell.
It was Liu Shu who opened the door.Zhen Ping was sitting on the sofa hugging a pillow, two clear tear stains hung on her face, but she didn't respond at all.
For a moment, Cheng Moqiong felt that the strong Zhen Ping was just a little baby abandoned by the world.
"Zhen Ping, what's the matter with you?" Cheng Moqiong ran over, put his arm around her shoulder and asked softly.
"Chengzi..." Zhen Ping put down the pillow, hugged Cheng Moqiong's waist tightly, and hid her head in her arms.
The muffled voice could only utter a few intermittent sounds because of choking, but Cheng Moqiong could still hear it clearly.
"Old man...he died on duty...I don't have a father anymore..."
Liu Shu, who was standing aside, frowned slightly. On the one hand, he felt that she was crying too bleakly, and on the other hand, the news really surprised her.
Cheng Haoqiong's movements paused, and then he hugged her tightly, his voice trembling: "Father Zhen, how could... when did it happen?"
"I don't know, I can't hear, his colleagues told me..."
How could such a thing happen in just a few days?Cheng Haoqiong asked in disbelief, "Could it be that Papa Zhen was joking with you?"
"Yes, he must be joking with me. Let's go to Luocheng Hospital now!" Zhen Ping heard Cheng Moqiong's words, his eyes flashed with anticipation, wiped his tears with the back of his hand, and hurriedly stood up, run outside.
"The old man must be joking with me, to retaliate against me for not taking him out to play..."
"He must miss me very much, in fact, I also miss him..."
Zhen Ping ran very fast, but Cheng Moqiong and Liu Shu could only hear her talking to herself from the front.
"Aren't you afraid that she will be disappointed later?"
Liu Shu's voice was never warm, but it made Cheng Moqiong's eyes turn red, "I just can't believe that Papa Zhen really passed away."
Cheng Haoqiong had already forgotten how they left when they went to the hospital that day and saw the charred corpse in the morgue.
During the funeral, Zhen Ping remained silent, only her red eyes showed her sadness.
Zhen Hao was hit in the head by a bullet from the other party while chasing the gangster by car. The uncontrolled car crashed into the mountain and exploded, burning the people and the car in the raging fire.
In Tahiti, Zhen Ping's mobile phone has no signal, and Zhen Hao's colleagues cannot contact her.After she came back, she dialed the number that had called her several times, only to realize that the uneasiness that day was really an ominous forecast.
They were worried that Zhen Ping would feel sad if she was alone at home, and they couldn't face this fact.So Cheng Haoqiong invited her to live with him in Yuancheng for a while.
"Okay, I'll pack some things first."
Zhen Ping walked into his room holding Zhen Hao's posthumous photo, and put it next to his mother's photo.The smiling woman in the photo is very young, and her eyebrows are very similar to Zhen Ping.
"Old man, you'll be fine. From now on, you can be with your mother." Zhen Ping looked at the person in the photo and complained in tears, "But why don't you want me anymore..."
After a long time, Zhen Ping gently closed the door and went back to the room to pack a few sets of clothes.Before going out, she stopped, thought for a while, and then went back to put their only photo album in the duffel bag.
"Mom and Dad, I'll come back to see you in a while. Old man, you have to take good care of Mom!"
There was no response in the empty room, Zhen Ping sneered and closed the door disappointed.
Cheng Moqiong and the others waited downstairs for a long time, and finally saw her figure appearing at the door.Cheng Moqiong walked over and asked with concern, "Zhen Ping, are you alright?"
Zhen Ping nodded, "Let's go."
The driver opened the door, and Cheng Moqiong let Zhen Ping get in the car first.Suddenly there was a loud noise overhead, which stopped them in their tracks.
Thick smoke billowed from the unit on the eighth floor, and the flames trapped in the house escaped from the windowsill from time to time.The siren sounded at the right time, urging the people in the building to flee the fire.
Lin Yaoyao looked at the thick smoke upstairs in surprise, swallowed her saliva, and asked uncertainly, "Ping'er, didn't you set the fire?"
If so, Zhen Ping is really...too capricious!
Zhen Ping shook her head, frowned, and looked at her home solemnly.There, there is no going back.Her home is gone.
Since then, she has not only no father and no mother, but also homeless.Oh, God really treats her kindly.
The smile on the corner of Zhen Ping's mouth was a hint of self-mockery with a chill, and there was endless sadness in her eyes.
"Fortunately, Zhen Ping, you came down in time!" Cheng Moqiong rejoiced that Zhen Ping was fine now.If she hadn't come down, the consequences would be disastrous.
"How could it explode for no reason?"
Since it wasn't Zhen Ping who set the fire, who was it?Could it be the enemy?Lin Yaoyao, who has been implanted with systematic conspiracy theories in her head by the novel, has a mature plan to take revenge on the criminals captured by Zhen Hao after they are released after serving their sentences.
"Let's go." Zhen Ping turned around and got into the car.
"Aren't you waiting for the police to find out what's going on?" Lin Yaoyao looked at her back and asked in puzzlement.
Zhen Ping didn't respond to her, Lin Yaoyao muttered in a low voice: "Isn't Ping'er the one who likes to join in the fun? Why is it so abnormal today?"
Cheng Moqiong stretched out her finger to flick her head, and reminded: "What time is it now, how can she be in the mood to watch the fun?"
"But, don't you think the explosion was sudden? Maybe it has something to do with the death of Zhen's father..."
Today's Lin Yaoyao doesn't know why she is so persistent, just like the usual Zhen Ping.But it is obvious that Zhen Ping is unable to care about these things now.Cheng Haoqiong pushed Lin Yaoyao into the car, and advised, "We'll talk about this later, Zhen Ping is not in a good condition right now."
"but……"
Hu Qiaoguang who was standing aside said impatiently, "Get in the car."
All the handsome seniors started talking, how dare Lin Yaoyao not listen.When the words I wanted to say came to my lips, I immediately swallowed them back to my stomach with interest to warm my stomach.
Because of Zhen Ping's depression, the atmosphere in the car was very heavy along the way.Zhen Ping kept looking down at the black pearl in her hand, it was a gift she specially brought back for the old man.
Cheng Moqiong and Lin Yaoyao looked at each other, shook their heads, and told her to be quiet.
Except for Lin Yaoyao, everyone here has experienced life and death.They all know that at this time, only time can appease her sadness.
A black commercial vehicle stopped in front of a white European-style villa.Before Cheng Moqiong got out of the car, Hu Qiaoguang stopped her, "I'm going back to Dongcheng to deal with some things, call me if you need anything."
"Well, go back quickly!" After Cheng Moqiong finished speaking, he jumped out of the car and walked into the compound without looking back.
Seeing her abandoning him so "ruthlessly", Hu Qiaoguang couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
Liu Shu didn't say anything, and stayed by their side for the past few days, silently accompanying Zhen Ping.That day she arrived at Zhen Ping's house first, and she just looked at Zhen Ping quietly.She didn't know how to comfort her, and she didn't know how to comfort her.
After Cheng Moqiong finished cooking, she asked Lin Yaoyao to go up to her room and told Zhen Ping to go downstairs for dinner.
Zhen Ping, who looked like a walking dead, just gnawed on the rice dully.As I ate and ate, my tears couldn't help but fall down again.
"Zhen Ping, the food isn't good, so let's stop eating it. Don't cry, okay?" Such Zhen Ping made Cheng Moqiong's heart ache, as if what she saw was herself two years ago.
"Do you think the old man dislikes my cooking, so he doesn't want me?"
Zhen Ping held the bowl, raised her head, and looked at Cheng Moqiong blankly with red teary eyes.
"If I don't go to Tahiti and I stay with him all the time, won't he get angry and take revenge on me?"
Cheng Moqiong walked over, took the bowl and chopsticks from her stiff hands, hugged her, and comforted her softly, "Zhen Ping, don't do this, okay?"
"I must be dreaming, am I not?"
"You tell me I'm dreaming. The old man is still alive."
Lin Yaoyao couldn't bear such a heavy atmosphere, and cursed heartbrokenly: "Ping'er, wake up, it's true! Everything is true! You have to be brave to accept this fact!"
Cheng Huoqiong shook her head, signaling Lin Yaoyao not to continue talking.
"Facts?" Zhen Ping repeated with a wry smile, "Facts...fuck the facts! Fuck the gods! I don't have a mother anymore, I don't have a father anymore, I don't have anything, I don't even have a home .I'm just a ridiculous orphan..."
The silent crying turned into howling, even Lin Yaoyao couldn't help but her eyes turned red.
"shut up!"
The three of them were stunned by Liu Shu's sudden roar, and stared at her blankly.
"Can crying change the truth? Can the dead cry back? No matter how sad the cry is, she can't hear it. She can never hear it. Oh, what's the use of crying?"
There was some sadness in Liu Shu's cold voice, and his unfocused eyes seemed to be caught in memories, as if he was recalling someone who had passed away.
"Yes, he can't hear." Zhen Ping murmured, reaching out to cover her chest, "But I'm in pain, it hurts, I can't breathe..."
"Zhen Ping, give yourself some time, it will be fine."
"Ping'er, you have to be strong."
Seeing the three hugging and crying bitterly, Liu Shu frowned slightly, stood up and walked back to the room.
During this time, Liu Shu and Lin Yaoyao have been staying at Cheng Moqiong's house, accompanying Zhen Ping.Don't let her think wildly when she is bored alone.
Zhen Ping gradually accepted the fact that Zhen Hao had left.Occasionally, under the teasing of Lin Yaoyao and Cheng Moqiong, he could still pull out a far-fetched smile.
School will start in a few days, is Zhen Ping going back to Luocheng?
During the meal, Lin Yaoyao worriedly asked, "Ping'er, what are your plans for the future?"
While eating, Cheng Huoqiong, who was teasing Wangcai, stopped what she was doing and looked at them in surprise, anxiously waiting for Zhen Ping's answer.
"I don't have any plans. Stay here until Cheng Zi drives me away." Zhen Ping's chopsticks paused for a moment, then picked up the dishes from the plate and put them in the bowl, and said calmly.
"Then you go back to class?"
Zhen Ping shook her head, "I won't come back."
Cheng Moqiong and Lin Yaoyao looked up at her in surprise at the same time, and asked in unison: "Why!"
Liu Shu raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at her.
Zhen Ping said solemnly, "I have no money to pay the tuition."
"I'll lend it to you."
"I'll pay it for you."
Two voices sounded at the same time, Cheng Moqiong and Lin Yaoyao looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Cheng Haoqiong patted her chest and said with a smile: "Anyway, you don't have to worry about the tuition fee. I'm here for everything, sister, I'll take care of you!"
"I'm going to go to the army."
"Didn't you just say that you have no plans?" Lin Yaoyao said casually, and suddenly realized what she said, "Wait, what? Go to the army?"
Zhen Ping, who has always been weak, seems to have grown up all of a sudden.The tone of the speech made people feel a little deep, "Well, I didn't plan to go to the army."
Cheng Haoqiong asked excitedly: "Zhen Ping, why are you going to the army when you are so good?"
"Food and lodging are included in the army, and there are subsidies."
"Is it not enough for me to support you? Why do you want to go to the army? The army is very hard!"
A trace of hatred flickered in Zhen Ping's eyes, and she said coldly, "I want to be a soldier to avenge the old man."
Cheng Haoqiong frowned slightly, "Revenge?"
"So it's really the enemy's revenge!" Lin Yaoyao tried her best to suppress the little joy in her heart, but she didn't expect that she really guessed right.However, this occasion does not seem suitable for laughing.
Liu Shu immediately thought of the crux of the problem, "What did they tell you to go to the police station that day?"
One day, Zhen Ping received a call from the Luocheng Police Department, asking her to assist in the investigation.Cheng Zhuqiong and the others accompanied her to the police station, but they didn't ask about what they said between them.
"A time bomb was installed at home. And the person who killed the old man that day was his old acquaintance."
Zhen Ping's tone did not fluctuate, but it made people feel the coldness of the heart.
"Can't we catch the murderer?" After Lin Yaoyao finished speaking, she belatedly realized that she had asked a very stupid question.
"No. They are unwilling to say more. I must investigate the truth of the matter and bring that person to justice."
Zhen Ping's eyes revealed a convincing firmness, and Cheng Moqiong knew that nothing could change her ideology.
"If you have made up your mind, we will support you. When will you go?"
"Early next month."
Lin Yaoyao widened her eyes in surprise, and confirmed in disbelief: "Just a few days?"
Zhen Ping nodded, "Yes."
Don't let death make people sad, life and death also make people sad.
Parting is imminent, no matter how bright the smile is, it is just a forced laugh.
On August 8st, the day of registration for the new term at Huaqiao Middle School, the four of them stayed at Cheng Moqiong's villa for today's last supper.
Tomorrow is the day when Zhen Ping enlists in the army, and the three of them specially asked for leave to see her off.After tomorrow, maybe they won't be able to see each other for a long time.
The four talked and laughed, but no one took the initiative to mention the sad tomorrow.It seems that parting is still very far away.
The next day, Lin Yaoyao woke up very consciously.Cheng Haoqiong took Wangcai with them to see Zhen Ping into the car.
Along the way, Lin Yaoyao suddenly turned into a chatterbox, took Zhen Ping's hand, and said, "Ping'er, you must take care of yourself and be safe!"
"Come on. I'm not your medicine jar, you have to pay attention to your body."
"Ping'er, life is not as important as life. If you are in danger, run faster!"
Zhen Ping chuckled, stretched out her index finger and tapped her nose, "There's no need to fight now, so there's no danger."
When Lin Yaoyao thought that after tomorrow, no one would supervise her to eat less at night, and no one would wake her up in the morning, her nose felt sore and itchy. "Ping'er, if you miss me... you must come back quickly!"
"Why are you so hypocritical!" Zhen Ping sneered disdainfully, but her red eyes betrayed her reluctance.
Cheng Haoqiong took out a key from his pocket and handed it to Zhen Ping. "Zhen Ping, here is the key to our house, take it away. Remember to come back when you are on vacation."
"Okay." Zhen Ping smiled and took the key from her hand.
This month, there is their home.Fortunately, with their company.
Zhen Ping glanced at their faces one by one, nodded, and said with tears in her eyes, "I will miss you all. Wait until I come back."
"Ping'er, take it well. This is the amulet I've been carrying since I was a child. It will definitely bring you back safely."
A clear obsidian ring is strung on a silver chain, reflecting the dazzling light in the sun. "Take your amulet with you."
"No, I don't feel at ease if you don't take it. Can't you let me live in peace?"
Unable to withstand Lin Yaoyao's various coaxing threats, Zhen Ping had no choice but to accept the ring and give her back the silver chain.
Others have already boarded the car one after another.Zhen Ping breathed out, forced back tears, smiled, and said, "I'm leaving, you guys go back."
"Ping'er..." Lin Yaoyao hugged Zhen Ping, and it took a long time before she let go.
Cheng Haoqiong hugged Zhen Ping, and he could only say a thousand words: "Zhen Ping, remember to write back."
Cheng Moqiong let go, Zhen Ping walked up to Liu Shu, smiled, "Liu Shu, goodbye."
Unexpectedly, Liu Shu stretched out his hands to hug her gently, and a cold voice rang in her ears, "Take care."
Zhen Ping lowered her head, looked at the kitten in Cheng Moqiong's arms, and said with a smile, "Wangcai, do you want to say goodbye to me?"
"Meow……"
During the time at Cheng Zhuqiong's house, Wangcai seemed to feel her sadness, and he didn't even refuse her approach.Sometimes he would take the initiative to come over and tease her.
"Mm, so cute!" Zhen Ping poked the tip of its nose with a smile.
Wangcai stretched out his cat's paw and patted her forehead with lightning speed.
"Oates! Wangcai, you attacked me again!" Zhen Ping exaggeratedly covered her forehead and complained.
"Ha ha……"
This little episode added a little smile to the sad parting, and also drew a heavy end.
Watching the bus drive out of his field of vision and disappear into the corner in the distance, Cheng Zhuqiong thought about the little things that happened between Zhen Ping and Zhen Ping this year.There are misunderstandings, forgiveness, and more laughter and concern.
no party last forever.Hope she comes back sooner.
Cheng Moqiong turned her head and said to the two people beside her, "Let's go, let's go back."
The school does not allow pets to be kept in the dormitory. Although Cheng Moqiong is reluctant to make a fortune, he still has to obediently abide by the school's rules and regulations.
Lin Yaoyao's luggage was at Cheng Zhuqiong's house, and the car sent by Liu Shu followed them to Liu's house to put Wangcai there.
At Liu Shu's home, Cheng Moqiong believed that she would let the servants take care of Wangcai.
Because she had to accompany Zhen Ping, Cheng Moqiong hadn't come to Luocheng to see Granny Hua for a long time.Now that she came to Liu's house, she decided to go in and say hello to Granny Hua.
Cheng Zhuqiong saw Huayan standing in the flowerbed cutting flowers, and shouted loudly, "Grandma Hua!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Huayan turned her head joyfully, and deliberately showed the face of a resentful woman, "Little Chengzi, you are finally willing to come and see me!"
"Hey, I..." Cheng Moqiong smiled embarrassedly, but Wangcai in his arms struggled violently to jump out.
"Meow meow meow……"
Huayan wanted to dodge this "hidden weapon" at first, but when she saw clearly that it was a cat, she reached out and hugged it excitedly.
Wangcai jumped straight onto Huayan's body, and obediently rubbed against her arms.
Huayan hugged Wangcai happily, and gently stroked its hair with her white and smooth hands, "Xiaobai, you are finally here!"
"Meow meow……"
They seem very familiar?Cheng Moqiong was confused, frowned and asked, "Grandma Hua, do you know Wangcai from my family?"
"Wangcai? Hahaha... With such a vulgar name, Xiaobai will be angry!" Huayan let out a crisp laugh, which was very inconsistent with her wrinkled face.
"Xiaochengzi, where did you find Xiaobai? No, Xiaobai is so naughty, so I call you Wangcai! Well, I will punish you."
"Meow meow……"
"When we were in Tahiti, the handsome senior and I went to find the goddess in red. On the small island where she lived, Wangcai followed me. So I took it in and brought it back." Cheng Moqiong said in a few words. The reason is explained clearly.
"Oh, that's how it is." It was really fate.Huayan gave Cheng Zhuqiong a pitiful look, she just felt sorry for the girl.
"However, Granny Hua, why do you call it Xiaobai?"
Huayan smiled slightly, and replied casually: "I've seen it on the island before. I saw it was so white, so I called it Xiaobai. I haven't seen it for a long time, so I'm a little excited."
"Oh." Cheng Moqiong nodded, the last time Granny Hua saw it was at least a few years ago, right?She exclaimed: "Wow, Wangcai, you have grown up for so many years, how come you are still a kitten!"
Huayan's eyes flickered with anxiety, and she explained with an embarrassed smile: "Maybe it's a breed problem. Right, Wangcai?"
"Meow meow……"
"This breed is so good, it's always youthful, and it's always been cute!" Cheng Moqiong didn't suspect anything, and poked its face with a smile.
Cheng Moqiong remembered her purpose of coming here, and asked anxiously: "Grandma Hua, can I ask you to help take care of Wangcai? My school can't keep pets, and there is no one to take care of it at home. I will take it back during the holidays."
"Of course it's fine! I'll take good care of it for you."
Huayan agreed without thinking, and seeing her expression, she was obviously very happy.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Granny Hua."
After Cheng Zhuqiong and Lin Yaoyao had dinner at Liu's house, they went back to school with Liu Shu.
After Cheng Moqiong made her own bed, she helped Lin Yaoyao pack her things.In the past, Zhen Ping always took care of Lin Yaoyao, so her departure was the saddest for Lin Yaoyao.
In the eight-person dormitory, there are only seven beds with beds.And the one that originally belonged to Zhen Ping was empty, like a corner of their hearts was missing.
In just one summer vacation, so many changes have taken place.Oh, life is really changing.
Well, I uploaded it wrong yesterday, this one is new.
I promise, there is no upload error this time.
