After the two woke up, they took a shower and set off.

The weather is the hottest, there are no people on the street, some shop doors are ajar to block the sun, and the shopkeepers are lazy, unable to cheer up for anything.

"I've asked about all these shops. If the man is still here, they probably don't know."

Zhou Yize took him to the back of the housing area with ease, "How many years ago was that photo of yours, and how old was that person at that time? After all these years, except for the neighbors who spent a lot of time with her, who still remembers how she used to be?" What does it look like?"

Cheng Yi shook his head and disagreed, "No matter how much a person's appearance changes, he can't change his face beyond recognition."

"Who knows, if women don't take good care of themselves, they will age quickly."

Zhou Yize walked in front, and Cheng Yi was one step behind him. After walking a few steps, Cheng Yi realized that something was wrong. He frowned and asked, "Why are you going ahead? Why don't you ask these shops?"

"Didn't you say that you asked? Then I need to do more? The front is the housing area..."

"You are quite familiar. I didn't even know that the front was a housing area when I came here for the first time."

Zhou Yize didn't speak.

Cheng Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at his back, then followed him without saying a word.

His cousin is very familiar with this place, even more so than anyone who has been here twice, but his cousin clearly said that he has never heard of this place, so how could he be familiar with it?

Zhou Yize led the way, and after a while, he reached the building he visited last time. Cheng Yi remembered that he had met that person here, and that person sent his cousin back that time...

His cousin is not good at drinking, he himself knows better than anyone else, his defense ability is not so low, it is impossible to get drunk and give himself to an irrelevant person, which means that person is old with his cousin know.

Since his cousin is so familiar with this place, it means that he has been here before, and he seems to have a good relationship with that person, but he has never seen his cousin in contact with that person...

That man looks like a hooligan, how could his cousin know such a person?Did his cousin learn the "rogue tactics" from that person?

Cheng Yi guessed that his cousin used to hang out with that person a lot, and unconsciously brought out some bad habits.

"Do you know the man who sent you back to the construction site last time?" I asked before I had time to get jealous last time.

"Yeah." Zhou Yize sensed that Cheng Yi had already felt something, and denying it at this time would cause unnecessary trouble.

"Very familiar?"

"Normal." Zhou Yize said perfunctorily, "Go up."

Anyway, having said that, Zhou Yize said directly: "I just think the woman you're looking for looks familiar, so go ask first."

Cheng Yi couldn't figure it out, "Then why didn't you say it? When you saw the photo, just say that you know this person."

"I just think it looks familiar, but I'm not sure yet. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. I can't bear to see you disappointed." Zhou Yize picked out some good words to coax Cheng Yi.

This side of the building is a bit backlit, and the entire corridor is not very bright. The stairs are narrow and high, and it is a bit difficult to walk.

There are two families on each floor, Zhou Yize stopped on the third floor.

Cheng Yi noticed that Zhou Yize's gaze was fixed on a door, and he asked, "Is this one?"

"No, upstairs." Zhou Yize looked away, "Go up."

Cheng Yi didn't keep up, just now... His cousin had a trace of nostalgia in his eyes, what is the relationship between him and that person?

"What are you doing?" Zhou Yize noticed that Cheng Yi hadn't followed, and when he looked back, he saw that he was still staring at the door.

"fine."

After going up to the fourth floor, Zhou Yize raised his chin towards a door, "This is it, knock on the door and ask."

Cheng Yi stood there without moving. He was about to know the answer after searching for so long. Instead of joy, he was a little nervous and scared.

"You knocked." Zhou Yize did feel that the woman looked familiar when he looked at the photo that time, but the woman in the photo was only in her early twenties.

And the first time he saw that woman, she was almost thirty, and she was not bad.

He paid special attention to that woman, they met face to face the day she came, the woman's face was ashen, and her eyes met each other, he only knew that the woman's eyes were complicated.Later he realized that it was despair.

Her husband doesn't know how to make money, but he doesn't miss out on eating, drinking and having fun.He also likes to do things when he is drunk, the floor is not soundproof, and sometimes he can hear beating, scolding and crying in the middle of the night.

The woman had a gloomy expression, like a ghost, she didn't like to talk, she stayed at home all day, and probably didn't go out once in a few months, and the neighbors around her didn't think she was alone.

Cheng Yi knocked on the door, and a woman inside answered, and then he heard footsteps getting closer, and the door was opened.

As soon as he opened the door, Cheng Yi was stunned for a moment when he saw the person inside. Is it really her? !He had met this woman twice in the two times he came, but he had missed both times. He didn't expect it to be her.

But the name and appearance don't quite match. Last time the old store owner told him about the woman's name, it really didn't match.

The woman was a little surprised when she saw the two of them, "You?"

Seeing that Cheng Yi was agitated, Zhou Yize reminded in a low voice, "It's not her." He raised his voice and said to the woman, "We're looking for Ms. Yang, is she there?"

The woman immediately became a little vigilant when she heard this, and unconsciously closed the door that was originally opened, "Why are you looking for my brother and sister?"

Cheng Yi said: "I have something to ask her, don't worry, it won't delay your time."

"She's not here, you go." The woman said and was about to close the door.

Cheng Yi put his hands against the door, and said flatly, "I'm just looking for someone, why are you so excited? Is there something shady in the room?"

Cheng Yi felt that something was wrong. He only knew that the woman disappeared after the incident. He probably came here to avoid the limelight. Logically speaking, it is impossible to stay here forever. Will she marry here?What is she planning after living in such a place for more than ten years?

When the woman heard this, she became flustered, and said sternly, "What nonsense are you talking about! Hurry up, or I'll call the police if you don't leave."

"Then you should call the police." Cheng Yi lightly threatened him?

The woman couldn't close the door, she was so forced by Cheng Yi that she had no choice but to back down a step.

"What do you want to ask? I'll ask for you."

"Just ask her if she still remembers that she was at Cheng's house..." Before Cheng Yi finished speaking, the door of the back room was suddenly opened, and a woman with disheveled hair suddenly appeared at the door, she stared at him, Her eyes were venomous, and she was muttering, not knowing what to say.

Zhou Yize saw the woman, "That's her."

The woman heard the movement and said sharply to the woman: "Why are you out? Go back!"

Cheng Yi frowned, raised his voice and said to the woman: "Are you Yang Xiu? Do you still remember that you were at Cheng's house..."

Before Cheng Yi finished speaking, the woman went crazy when she heard the word "Cheng's family". She grabbed things and threw them outside. Terrible.

The woman blocking the door didn't expect that she would go crazy, she was so frightened that she gave Cheng Yi a hard look, and said loudly: "Hurry up and leave!" After she finished speaking, she was about to close the door, Cheng Yi was in a daze and didn't use any strength. The door was locked.

Zhou Yize didn't expect this to happen either, he frowned and said, "What outrageous things did your family do to make her so angry?"

Cheng Yi didn't say anything and was silent for a while. He probably knew the answer. It's not unreasonable for her to hate the Cheng family so much. Her situation today is related to that year.

Back then, when she was the old man's insider, she designed to frame her mother for cheating. The old man was afraid that his father would send her here if he knew the truth. As for what happened later...

According to the old man's temperament, the used abandoned son...how could he control her life or death.It was said to be a temporary escape, but in fact, she was allowed to fend for herself in such a place full of fish and dragons...

Thinking about it this way, everything makes sense.

Cheng Yi didn't feel relieved when he knew the answer. He felt a little heavy because that incident ruined a woman's life, and his mother...

If he just didn't like the old man before, then he almost loathes the old man now.

Cheng Yi's first reaction was to call the police, but this is not a mountainous area, so it's not that difficult to run away. It's not impossible for her to run away all these years, not to mention that if she really wants to ask for help, she can ask for help with her neighbors, just now and him.But she didn't...

He was still thinking, the screaming in the room stopped, and the door was opened again, but this time it was the woman. She didn't expect Cheng Yi to still be there. resentment.

"Are you the young master of the Cheng family?"

Cheng Yi didn't talk to him, and he saw that the woman inside didn't chase her out to stop her, it seems that her personal freedom is not restricted, but Cheng Yi couldn't help but said: "If you want to leave, I can call the police for you. "

"Call the police?" The woman seemed to have heard a joke, and her laughter was piercing, "I've ruined my life, why should I call the police? Ah? You are all going to hell!"

The woman heard her talking louder and louder, probably afraid that the neighbors would lose face, so she hurried over to pull her, "What are you doing?! Hurry up. You are only satisfied if you drive people crazy, right?"

Cheng Yi didn't care whether the floor was dirty or not, and just sat in the corridor without moving for a long time.

Cheng Yi felt powerless and had nowhere to vent his anger. He had no choice but to take the culprit. All he could do was tell his father the truth...but why was he so unwilling!

He will always live under the control of the old man, like an ant who can't even do the minimum resistance...

I don't know how long I sat there before Cheng Yi said, "I want to go home."

"Go ahead."

"What about you?"

"Don't worry about me, I have a private matter to deal with." Seeing him getting up to leave, Zhou Yize suddenly asked, "Is this the answer you want?"

Cheng Yi didn't speak, just glanced at him and left.

He remembered that he was still full of joy on the day he came back from his grandfather, but he found that all the servants in the family had been dismissed, and only Aunt Liu was left.

I was too young to understand what the calm before the storm was.

At the dinner table that day, his dad lost his temper, which he had never seen since he was born.

The cutlery on the entire dining table was overturned by his father, and he asked his mother hoarsely why...

Aunt Liu was also too scared to speak, hugged him and hid aside, for fear of hurting him.

His ears were covered by Aunt Liu, he didn't know what they were arguing about, he only heard his father's manic roar, his mother sat there with a calm expression, no fear and no guilt, as if his father's anger didn't come from her .

Cheng Yi felt that his persistence for so many years was probably only because of his mother's attitude back then, so fearless and frank.

他小时候总觉得他爸不爱他,因为他爸从来没有抱过他,揍他倒是挺顺手,而他妈……

His mother has a faint expression all year round, neither happy nor sad, she often sits on the wicker chair on the balcony to read, like a painting.

He loves his mother very much, but his mother is not close to him, she just touches his head and rarely even hugs him, let alone coaxing him to sleep and telling him bedtime stories.

But the child always has a kind of nostalgia for his mother. Every time his mother touches his head, his expression is always so gentle, which makes him feel that he is loved.

Ridiculous to say, he sometimes gets a good day when his mother touches his head.

His greatest hope is that one day, their family can sit together intimately, at least... like a family.

But from that day on, the expectations were gone.

His mother disappeared within a few days, and he cried for his mother, but his crying would always make his father fly into a rage.

There's no way his dad would let his mother go.His father loves his mother very much. Before that incident, his father had never said a single harsh word to his mother.

For his father, even if something like that happened, he wouldn't let it go.

But this is also a problem that bothers him. His father loves his mother so much, how could he doubt his mother because of the old man's instigation?If his father wanted to find out the truth, it must have been much easier than it is now, but his father...

Before he knew the truth, he never dared to think about it. He was afraid that he would also be shaken. All he had to do was to keep looking for answers.But now that he knew the answer, he was shaken.

After returning home, Aunt Liu was pleasantly surprised, "Master, you are back, then I will call the master and ask him to come back for dinner..."

"Don't be too busy. I just wanted to ask you something."

"What's wrong?" Aunt Liu saw Cheng Yi's serious face, and the smile on her face disappeared.

"Do you remember the few days before my mother disappeared?"

As soon as Cheng Yi opened his mouth, Aunt Liu's expression changed. She dodged and said, "Master, it's been so many years. Do you still ask what's the point?"

"Yes! Just tell me, has my dad been angry since that incident happened? He didn't check the truth at all, did he? He only knows how to lose his temper. He didn't..."

"No." Aunt Liu interrupted him, looking at him with distressed eyes, "Master loves Madam so much, even if such news came out, he never lost his temper with Madam. Two days before you came back, the family The atmosphere was not right, and you know what happened later..."

Cheng Yi couldn't hear a word, his mind was in a mess, actually... this is the truth.

His father loves his mother even Aunt Liu knows, but what about his mother?He always thought that his mother was just not good at expressing his feelings, but in fact she didn't love him or this family at all.

The love he thought he loved when he was young was just exaggerated by him. Looking back, how could his mother treat him as love?

I'm afraid that even the loving eyes of his mother looking at him are just what he thinks...

He is greedy for the "maternal love" that can be touched, even if it is just a pat on the head.他爸爱他,孩子能知道什么,只记得他爸揍过他。

His father knew that his mother was framed, so he didn't even want to find out the truth, because his father believed it, just as he was so determined that the old man framed his mother.

But his mother wanted to leave, and she really cheated after the old man's incident happened.

what is this?What he insisted on in his previous life until his death, the thought in his heart was just a joke... But who is to blame, it was he who made himself a joke.
