"Xiaohua!" Song Guicheng was surprised.

Ever since Xiaohua ate the eyeball in the Ankang Orphanage copy, she fell into a coma. The landlady and Jiang Chi were helpless, and he was secretly worried for several days.

Xiaohua rubbed Song Guicheng's neck affectionately, bringing a cool feeling, and said softly, "I miss you so much, Mom."

Song Guicheng carefully checked Xiaohua from head to toe, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that there was nothing wrong with Xiaohua's body, "I'm glad you're fine."

"I'm fine," Xiaohua sat obediently on Song Guicheng's palm with her legs together, "I just ate too much. I'll fall asleep if I eat too much."

When facing Xiaohua, Song Guicheng discovered that Xiaohua's originally stiff facial features had become softer, the rough texture of the paper had disappeared, and the touch of his fingertips had become delicate.

He touched Xiaohua's hair, his eyes curved, "Xiaohua, you have grown up."

"Yes, Mom, I've grown up." She stood up and showed Song Guicheng her skirt. The bright red skirt originally covered her ankles, but now it only reached below her knees.

She leaned on Song Guicheng's fingers lovingly and whispered, "Mom, I've tried my best to grow up, so I can help you more."

[Xiaohua: Mom, it smells good. I like it~]

[The damn human traffickers stole my little flower. I was so worried that I could only eat three meals a day! ! ]

[This reward is for Xiaohua]

[I looked at my child who was playing with toys and kicked him]

【Child: Are you okay? 】

……

The live broadcast room was full of tears for Xiaohua's well-behaved and sensible appearance. Song Guicheng bent down and said to her softly: "Children should act like children. You just need to eat well, grow up well, and play happily."

Xiaohua will never forget this day. The midday sun shone through the window behind her mother and fell on the rough and uneven ground. The electric fan creaked and the wind was scorching hot. The strands of hair on her mother's forehead were blown up, revealing gentle eyes with a smile.

She is not actually a child. Props have the mission of props, to be ordered, used, and abandoned.

But she didn't want to disappoint her mother, so she tilted her head, smiled like her mother, and said loudly, "Okay!"

There was a sudden knock on the door. Song Guicheng put the flower safely into his pocket before opening the door.

Chen Wenyu held a bottle of soda in his hand and said, "I don't know how to drive."

Song Guicheng laughed and stepped aside to let him in, "Let me drive."

He asked Chen Wenyu to sit in the chair he had just sat on, pushed the electric fan towards him, and did not rush to open the soda, but put it aside first.

"If we open it now, the soda will spray out, and I don't want to take another bath," Song Guicheng explained, "Wait a while."

The main reason is that he doesn't want to be sprayed with soda, as it would make his hands sticky.

Chen Wenyu said: "I just saw Uncle Liu coming back."

Chen Wenyu's room could see outside from the window. Song Guicheng went over to take a look and found that the door of the guard room was indeed open.

"Shall we go down later?"

Song Guicheng skillfully pressed the marble down with the lid, and the soda didn't spray out. He breathed a sigh of relief and handed it to Chen Wenyu, "Drink it."

Chen Wenyu took two sips and stared at the marble floating in the drink. It was a beautiful marble with a blue-green texture inside the crystal bead, which reflected a charming glow under the sun.

Song Guicheng said: "When you finish drinking the soda, you can take out the marbles. If you have a bowl, you can pour the soda into the bowl and take out the marbles directly."

He was talking to Chen Wenyu and didn't notice Xiaohua crawling out of his pocket.

By the time he noticed, Xiaohua had already grabbed the soda bottle: "Mom, I want to drink this!"

The atmosphere was somewhat silent for a while.

Song Guicheng looked at Xiaohua, then at Chen Wenyu, with a bit of embarrassment on his face.

Chen Wenyu looked at Xiaohua, then at Song Guicheng, his expression didn't change.

Song Guicheng took the small flower back with one hand and said, "Don't be rude. This is uncle's. I'll go down and buy it for you later."

Then he explained to Chen Wenyu: "My daughter."

Chen Wenyu shook the soda bottle in his hand: "Is it given away when you buy a drink?"

Song Guicheng: "...almost."

It’s given as a gift after completing the customs clearance.

It’s not much different from what you get for free when you buy a drink, it’s still free anyway.

Chen Wenyu knew that he was teasing him again.

He didn't finish his drink and casually put it on the table in Song Guicheng's room.

Song Guicheng discovered that Chen Wenyu didn't seem to like drinking beverages very much.

Just now, he protected those two bottles of soda like treasures.

"Go down." Song Guicheng stood up.

The two of them left the room one after the other.

"Wait," Song Guicheng suddenly called Chen Wenyu, "Behind you..."

Chen Wenyu turned around and looked at him.

Song Guicheng looked at the thing in his hand and felt something was wrong. It was a strand of black hair, about the same length as the one he had just pulled out in the bathroom.

He frowned and gathered his hair in his hands, "I shouldn't have let you throw your hair away just now."

Chen Wenyu didn't care: "It's okay, go down first."

Song Guicheng didn't say anything when he went downstairs. He was thinking about how the hair got stuck there. They had carefully checked the room last night and this morning, and it was impossible for such a long hair to go unnoticed.

It must have been picked up after I came back from going out just now.

Song Guicheng asked: "Where did you throw your hair just now?"

Chen Wenyu: "In the yellow trash can across the street."

There are five large trash cans opposite their building, which are used to store residents' garbage.

Song Guicheng said, "We'll go take a look later."

Chen Wenyu: “Okay.”

There is a layer of glass outside the guard room, through which you can see the shabby wooden table, stools and old electric fan inside. Uncle Liu is sitting on a chair smoking.

Song Guicheng went forward and knocked on the door. Uncle Liu saw them and opened the door. But before they went in, the dog Uncle Liu raised started barking at the two people at the door.

The barking of dogs disturbed the silence of the tube-shaped building, sounding somewhat fierce and mournful.

Legend has it that dogs are born with the ability to see ghosts and monsters, and have a particularly keen sense of smell and sensation.

In the sultry summer day, Song Guicheng's hair stood up. He wanted to look back, but stopped himself.

"Ah Huang, stop barking!" Uncle Liu shouted softly, and the big yellow dog indeed calmed down. However, it still walked around Song Guicheng and Chen Wenyu restlessly, looking very anxious.

Uncle Liu turned to look at Song Guicheng: "It's very hot outside, don't stand there like an idiot, come in."

The room was much cooler. Song Guicheng turned his head and looked up at the scorching sun through the transparent glass.

The big yellow dog's movements kept rubbing against Song Guicheng's trouser legs. Through the thin pants, he could clearly feel the big yellow dog's bony bones.

The big yellow dog finally sat down next to Chen Wenyu.

Song Guicheng couldn't help but frown. He was just suspicious at first, but now he was 70% sure that Chen Wenyu was really entangled by something.

Uncle Liu flicked the ash off his cigarette and looked at the two of them: "What do you want?"

Song Guicheng suppressed his confused thoughts and told Uncle Liu about the blocked sewer in the pregnant woman's home on the first floor.

"The sewer on the first floor is always broken," Uncle Liu lit another cigarette and took a deep puff. "It has to be repaired eight or nine times a month. I don't know what's wrong. Could it be blocked by feces? My waist has been hurting a lot recently, and I have to go to dig out the feces."

Song Guicheng's nose was filled with the smell of cigarettes. He resisted the urge to cough. Thinking of the rotten meat in the sewer on the first floor, he thought it would be better if it was blocked by shit.

"Uncle Liu, just leave your back hurting and we'll go and help clear it up." Song Guicheng said.

Now that I've decided to check out other tenants' rooms, this is a good opportunity.

"You guys?" Uncle Liu looked at them suspiciously. "If you want to, just help her get through it as soon as possible. It's not convenient for her to get through it as she's pregnant."

Song Guicheng quickly agreed: "Okay, Uncle Liu, don't worry."
