Nasida shook her head: "Uncle Wang has not been contacted."
"The phone is not working?" the young man asked doubtfully.
"The number is empty." Nasida said: "I couldn't contact you two months ago. No one answered the call before. The number started to become empty the day before yesterday."
The young man was stunned.
......
At noon, the boy brought the meal for his grandma into the bedroom and returned to the dining table.
Huanhuan, who came back from school, held her chopsticks and lowered her head to poke at the rice little by little.
"Huanhuan, why don't you eat the food? Is it not to your taste?" The young man tried his best to smile and asked in a gentle voice.
Huanhuan didn't speak.
The young man helplessly reached out and rubbed her hair: "Are you concerned about grandma's condition? Don't worry, the treatment is going well and she will be fine soon."
This time, Huanhuan finally raised her head. Her cute pink face was full of tears, her eyes were red, and her tears were still pouring out uncontrollably. Her voice was choked with sobs: "Brother Xiaoling, does daddy not want Huanhuan anymore?" ah?"
The young man's hand froze slightly.
......
On the high-speed train heading to Wanghai City, Nasida silently held the boy's hand. She didn't say anything. She just hoped that in this way, she could relax the tense boy.
But obviously, this is in vain.
The boy was always in a state of restlessness.
Until they came to Wanghai City, they inquired all the way and came to a construction site.
The young man took a few deep breaths, adjusted his expression, and went to a store not far away to buy a pack of cigarettes. He asked Nasida to wait outside and walked into the construction site...
"Hey, come on, uncle, have a cigarette."
"Ah, yes, that uncle, I want to ask you something..."
"Okay, I'll leave right away!"
......
"Uncle, it's really hot today. I see you are sweating profusely. Why don't you get a bottle of water? I just bought it from the nearby canteen and it's still cold."
"Ah? I don't need any money, I just want to ask you something."
"oh, I see……"
......
The young man wandered around the construction site, putting on a flattering smile when he met everyone, and kept asking for news about Uncle Wang. However, the better ones just shook their heads and said they didn't know. If they met someone with a bad temper, they would immediately Just one sentence: "Get away!"
In this way, between the constant failure and hitting the wall, the sweating young man's heart continued to cool down.
Finally - just when the boy was about to give up, an old man with dark skin and a helmet came over.
Without saying anything, the old man waved to the young man: "Have a cigarette."
The young man glanced at him blankly and put the entire cigarette pack with only a few remaining cigarettes into the old man's hand.
The old man smiled "hehe" and took out his lighter to light the cigarette.
He took a good breath and blew out a big smoke ring.
The boy didn't like the smell of smoke, so he started to leave.
"Young man, are you looking for Wang Deyuan, right? I just saw you asking several people about this matter."
The old man's words made the young man pause for a moment, and then he immediately came up to him like a dog-legger and diligently handed over the last bottle of mineral water: "Old man, please drink some water..."
"Good boy, you are on the right track." The old man took the water and shook it in his hand.
The young man smiled flatteringly, and then quickly said: "That king..."
"This matter... I'm probably the only one who knows about this on this construction site."
"Then please..."
"Ahem..." The old man stretched out his hand and rubbed it with his index finger and thumb.
Without saying anything, the young man took out 200 yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into the old man's hand.
The old man immediately stuffed the money into his pocket with a smile, then leaned into the young man's ear and whispered: "Who are you from Wang Deyuan?"
"I am his nephew." The young man said.
"Oh, so does he have other family members?"
"..." The young man hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "No more."
"That's it..." The old man's eyes were full of thought. After a while, he said in a lower voice: "Wang Deyuan is dead. He fell to his death from upstairs during the night shift last month. The big boss did not delay the construction in order to avoid delaying the construction. To compensate, the body was filled with cement pillars and buried in the foundation."
The young man looked completely stunned.
However, the old man did not stop there, but added: "I'm telling you this, not out of kindness, but for a reward. As for you, find it for your uncle. When the pension comes, you will get half of it from me... …”
At this moment, the young man could not hear the old man's words at all. He only felt that there was a membrane between the world and himself, and there was nothing except a buzzing sound.
......
Chapter 65 The Day
public security bureau.
"Classmate, are you serious?"
Facing the police's questioning, the young man nodded numbly.
"But you don't have any evidence at all. We can't just order the construction site to stop and let us destroy the foundation and search it?"
"Okay, do you have any evidence that your uncle is no longer alive?"
The young man nodded.
ten minutes later.
The old man who paid the boy two hundred yuan at the construction site to tell him about Uncle Wang came to the police station.
"What? I don't know, young man, we have never met, why are you talking nonsense? Hey! Today's students..."
Leaving behind such a string of words, the old man left.
The young man's expression became even more numb and hollow.
"You... look, there's no evidence of death, how can we handle the case? Well, let me report you missing first."
......
The boy who received such an answer from the police was brought back to his residence by Nasida in a state of confusion.
Time passed little by little, and the brilliance of the sunset slanted down.
"Sorry, there is nothing qualitative that our newspaper cannot publish. We cannot make fun of our credibility."
......
"Hello, your account has been banned for 30 days due to inappropriate comments..."
......
The moonlight shines on the young man through the window. The young man is sitting on the edge of the bed. His dead mobile phone is thrown aside. He lowers his head and looks dull.
Nacida came to the boy quietly and held his head in her arms: "If you want to cry, you can cry."
"..."
The boy made no movement.
I don’t know how much time passed, but there was a knock on the door outside the house.
Nasida stood up and went to open the door. Standing behind the door was a trembling grandma on crutches.
"Grandma..." Nasida quickly held her grandmother's arm and helped her into the house.
The old man stroked Nasida's hair lovingly until she was helped into the house and sat down on the bed next to the young man.
The young man didn't seem to see his grandma coming. He was like a statue, sitting like this from beginning to end.
"Hey……"
The old man suddenly sighed, and she put her trembling hand on the boy's head: "My child... I've suffered a lot for you..."
The young man mechanically raised his face and looked at the old man blankly.
The old man laughed miserably: "Deyuan, let's go..."
The young man's eyes suddenly widened. He had clearly decided in his heart not to tell grandma and Huanhuan about this matter. Why would grandma know about it?
The old man did not let the young man wonder for too long. She wiped her tears with her withered hands: "I know that kid Deyuan will not come back from home for so long without any news. Those days, every day When I didn't answer the phone, I knew... something must have happened to that child. I knew you were about to take the college entrance examination, but I didn't dare to tell you. How could I have known that you went to inquire on your own..."
The young man's vision gradually blurred, and the tears that he couldn't hold back no matter how hard he endured fell uncontrollably.
He buried his face in his knees, and his low sobs finally came out.
He told the old man everything that happened today from beginning to end.
After hearing this, the old man just sighed softly, and she stroked the young man's head: "My old woman has nothing but one life. I have only been ill for a few days, and I can't make a sound. I will hang myself there tomorrow." On the construction site... I can give my son some justice... It's the child Huanhuan... I might have to trouble you..."
The young man did not raise his head, but choked and said: "It's useless grandma... It's useless. They can hide Uncle Wang's matter quietly, and they can also hide your matter..."
When the old man heard this, he looked dazed for a moment, and then showed a miserable expression: "That's it... that's right... that's right..."
"It's really difficult for poor people like us..."
"..."
The young man was speechless, but his shoulders shrugged from time to time. After a long time, he slowly raised his head, his eyes were red and stained with tears, but his expression did not show weakness, but a look of ferocity like a beast that wanted to choose people to devour.
"It doesn't matter, grandma, it doesn't matter. I will give Uncle Wang justice and give Huanhuan a good future."
"But...grandma...I'm sorry, I...I need your life..."
Hearing the young man's words, the old man didn't react at all. On the contrary, Nasida, who had been standing aside silently from the beginning, was shocked and said: "You..."
The old man waved his hand to stop Nasida's words, and then a kind smile appeared on her face. She touched the boy's head: "Okay, grandma will give it to you."
