Mu Chen

51. Accident

Muchen didn't wait for Yu Yong.After the exam in July, I contacted Yu Yong and found out that he had been working in a barbecue restaurant for half a month.

The barbecue restaurant is run by Lin Lan, a fellow restaurant owner. The restaurant has been opened for several years, from two bungalows to the current three-story building. There are more and more types, from claypot, pasta, to Chinese food now. , the barbecue at night, the business is very good.

Lin Lan firmly opposed Yu Yong going out to play.She felt that Yu Yong was young a few years ago, and he could earn a lot of money every vacation, but now that he is older, he has started to play, which is really inconsiderate of her.

By the way, I also feel a little disgusted with Mu Chen. Your conditions are good, but my family's conditions are not so good. How can such a young man only know how to play?Besides, if you don't pay for this trip, don't you owe favors?Not to mention that as long as Yu Yong is willing to work, he can still make money for his family.

Yu Yong was persuaded in this way, "If your Uncle Mu is still here, we won't talk about him helping us. Now Mu Chen is left alone, and he is still studying. Even if his father leaves him some money, we will Can't help him spend it."

Yu Yong has never been short of money since he entered Mu's house. When he was young, Mu Wen always gave him pocket money compared to Mu Chen's standard. When he was a little older, he was dragged to his own factory by Mu Chen.

Muchen refused to let him receive and distribute leaflets, act as a doll, and work as a waiter.Mu Wen also said that those can be used as a kind of experience, but don’t take earning that little money as a goal. He also said that he is still young now, so he should focus on his studies, so that he will have more space in the future, and play games when he has free time. Playing ball can also grow taller, don't worry about making money.

Every holiday, Mu Wen will systematically get some books for him to read, and he will also write a review after reading, and Mu Chen will also exchange ideas with him.This is their parent-child moment, and Yu Yong's three views are slowly established from here.

Except for Yu Yong's occasional low self-esteem when facing Gu Ning, in his mind, he is also a child of the Mu family, so he accepts Mu Wen, Jiang Cheng and the others' kindness to him very calmly.It's like being kind to his elders, he is still young, he accepts it, and when he grows up, he will naturally honor his elders.

But now, Lin Lan's words reminded him that his Uncle Mu was no longer there, and his Brother Chen himself was a student without a job, and he had just accepted it blindly for so many years, never giving anything in return.Just like what his mother said, we can't help him with anything else, can we only help him spend money?

Mu Chen knew that the string of sticks was not a good job, and it was very common to pierce his hands. He also heard Yu Yong laughing and said that he now burns chickens and plucks chicken feathers every day. It is so disgusting that he can't eat chicken anymore. The younger brother who is dying, he is reluctant to let him iron the chicken feathers at home.

But this time Yu Yong was very determined. He said that he was too old to rely on his brother all the time, and his mother was still pointing at him...

Muchen repeatedly assured him that he was rich, but Yu Yong still didn't let go, and in the end he had no choice but to compromise.The two agreed that he would stay with Jiang Cheng for a while, and then go home for a few days before school started.

When I got out of the airport and saw Jiang Cheng, I found that his Uncle Cheng had obviously aged for more than half a year, his hair had turned gray, his sideburns were completely white, and he was also dark and thin.

Mu Chen's nose was a little sore, and he stepped forward a few steps forward with open arms to hug this relative, "Uncle Cheng."

Jiang Cheng's arms also tightened, and then he let go and looked him up seriously, "Chenchen, you seem to have grown taller again?"

Muchen rubbed his nose, "No, I haven't grown any growth in several years, and I'm still 176. These sandals have thick soles. Uncle Cheng, are you very tired? See why your hair is white, and you are also dark and thin. old."

Jiang Cheng smiled, "Your Uncle Cheng is already 48, so he's getting old."

Mu Chen, "Uncle Cheng, if it's too hard, let's not do it. You obviously didn't have a single gray hair before, and you look younger than my dad."

Jiang Cheng stretched out his hand to pick up the bag that Mu Chen was carrying, "It's not hard work, it's just that I've been in the fields a lot and got tanned."

Muchen turned his body sideways, "I'll memorize it myself, just a few books, not heavy. Uncle Cheng, I'm serious, we don't need to work so hard now, I feel bad for you like this."

Jiang Cheng patted him on the shoulder, "It's really fine, I still like to be busy, maybe it's because I'm not used to the environment, and I'm not used to eating."

Muchen, "Oh, then let's buy some food on the way later, I'll cook for you, buy some beef, and fry some sauce. Is it hard to buy mutton here? Can you cook in your dormitory?"

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but smile when he heard him rambling, "Okay, I'll go buy a pot later."

Mu Chen... Who said on the phone that he couldn't get used to eating in the cafeteria, so he started a small stove in the dormitory by himself?

Muchen has lived here in Jiangcheng for more than half a month.On weekends, Jiang Cheng took him to the surrounding area to play. There are many mountains and rivers here, full of verdant greenery. Compared with Shicheng, which is arid, it is full of scenery, but it is hotter and humid than Shicheng, but it is much better than N City. At least the mountains are cool in the morning and evening. of.

During the working day, Jiang Cheng also planned some self-driving routes for Mu Chen, but Mu Chen refused them all. He said he wanted to study for the exam, but he still wanted to make more delicious supplements for Jiang Cheng. After a few days, Jiang Cheng said that he just gained three catties during the bitter summer.

Muchen was very proud, and became more motivated. He bought a new refrigerator by himself, and when he left, there were not only a few large bottles of beef sauce in it, but also three drawers full of dumplings in the freezer.

August [-]nd was a rainy Friday, Jiang Cheng sent him to the airport, Mu Chen insisted on going in by himself, "Uncle Cheng, don't get out of the car, just put me here at the entrance, if you go back too late, you have to work overtime. "

Jiang Cheng smiled, "Okay, give me a call when you arrive."

Mu Chen lowered his head and unfastened his seat belt, "Well, I'm leaving, Uncle Cheng, I will be fine, and you will be fine too."

Jiang Cheng took his bag from the back seat and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll still watch you."

Muchen closed the car door, and Jiang Cheng started to drive away.Both of them are not very able to face parting, such a loss is easy to make people lose all hope.

Mu Chen took out his mobile phone and tried to make a call home, but still no one answered. After calculating the time, Yu Yong might have gone to the store, but he has lost contact with him since the day before yesterday.Lin Lan's house has never had a fixed line, and she doesn't have a mobile phone. Could it be that Xiaoyong has lived at Yu's house these two days?It's not impossible, but I always feel a little uneasy.

I took a taxi directly from the airport and went home. There was no one there, and the house was not chaotic, but the windows were open, and the table was covered with fine dust. It seemed that no one had lived in it for a few days.He went to Yu's house again, but there was no one there, and he called Liu Xiaogang's house, but no one picked him up.

It was almost five o'clock, and he probably knew the shop where Yu Yong worked, so he took a taxi and went directly to the shop. The door of the shop was locked, and Mu Chen felt more and more uneasy, so he went to the small supermarket next door to buy a bottle of water. , and then asked, "Boss, why isn't the door open here? Isn't it time for dinner?"

The chubby shopkeeper was playing with his mobile phone, "Oh, I beat someone to death the day before yesterday, let's suspend the business first."

Mu Chen felt stunned, and when he spoke again, his voice rose uncontrollably, "Boss, who killed who?"

The fat shopkeeper may have seen such people a few times in the past few days, and his tone was a little impatient, "Who knows who beat who to death, anyway, a gang of hooligans smashed the freezer outside our house."

Mu Chen took a few deep breaths, "I'm sorry, Boss, one of my younger brothers said he was working here as a summer job. I'm not surprised, please tell me."

The fat shop owner couldn't explain clearly, there were more than [-] tables outside the restaurant at that time, all of them were eating barbecue.Maybe some people drank too much, first they quarreled, then they fought, some were sent to the hospital, and some were arrested.However, I heard that the person who died was not very old, and he was killed by swishing a bottle on the back of his head.

Mu Chen was a little stunned, and when he walked out, he felt his legs were weak and his steps were fluttering.He came out and sat down on the curb to take out his mobile phone, and after thinking about it, he called the warehouse of xx factory first. He didn't know Lin Lan's current workshop number, but he knew the number of the warehouse before.

The person who answered the phone, Mu Chen, also knew him. He asked Lin Lan for his current number, but the other party directly told him that Lin Lan was arrested because her son was fighting, and that she also fainted and was sent to the factory yard, but she didn't know the details.

Muchen stood up after thanking him, feeling dizzy under the sun.

He supported the tree next to him and took a few breaths. His heart was still beating very fast, but at least he could breathe.I just feel very lucky, it’s okay, it’s okay, at least the one who died was not.

He took a taxi to the factory again, which he was familiar with, and immediately asked about Lin Lan's ward.

Mu Chen hurriedly pushed the door and went in, but saw two people hugging each other, he quickly backed out without looking carefully, and when the door was about to close, he heard crying, Lin Lan's crying, and the man who was holding her also turned around. Come face to face, Wu Ping'an.

Muchen still backed out, feeling very confused, and walked slowly to the doctor's office, it was a young doctor he didn't know.

After asking about Lin Lan's situation, it turned out that it was high blood pressure, but she had never discovered it and hadn't taken any medicine. She fainted from the stimulation that day, but it has been brought under control, and she can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow.

Muchen walked to the ward again, this time he knocked on the door first, then pushed it away and walked in.

Lin Lan was sitting on the bed with water still hanging in one hand, and the other was holding a tissue to press on her face. Wu Pingan was sitting beside her bed trying to persuade her.Muchen stepped forward to say hello, "Aunt Lin, what's the situation with Xiaoyong?"

Lin Lan raised her head, her eyes were red and swollen, she had obviously been crying for a long time, but seeing Mu Chen shed new tears, "Xiaochen, you are back, Xiaoyong has caused a big disaster this time, What can I do with this!" As he spoke, his crying became louder again.

Mu Chen's temples were throbbing, and his heart seemed to be suffocated. He took a few deep breaths, and asked Wu Ping'an, "Uncle Wu, I just came back and heard that Xiaoyong was arrested for fighting with someone. Do you know what's going on now? , is Xiaoyong injured?"

Wu Ping'an smiled, with a calm expression, "This is Dr. Mu's son. He is a graduate student. I just heard that something happened to Xiao Lin's family today, so I came to have a look."

Seeing that Mu Chen didn't answer the call, he said, "We don't know the specific situation. Yu Yong went to work the day before yesterday. It was after eleven o'clock in the evening. Xiaolin received a call from the police station, saying that Yu Yong was suspected of fighting and causing death. She died, and Xiao Lin fainted all of a sudden, and the big guys sent her to the hospital, fortunately, she was at work, and it would be dangerous if she was at home."

Mu Chen was still expressionless, Lin Lan's sobs became louder, Wu Pingan said, "I asked at the police station yesterday, and a case has been filed, saying that the person has been transferred to the detention center, the specific situation is not clear, and people are not allowed to visit now .”

Mu Chen, didn't you say that you just heard about the accident and came to visit today?But looking at his calm attitude and Lin Lan's obviously grateful eyes, he was speechless.

After asking a few more questions, the two of them didn't know more than him, and they didn't even know that they needed to hire a lawyer.Lin Lan seemed to be terribly frightened, without any ability to think, Mu Chen felt depressed, said goodbye and walked out.
