eighth story

Wu Qin said in his heart, "That's too bad", and quickly wiped off the circle of yogurt around his mouth, which was the culprit, with the back of his hand, but in Qin Yao's eyes, it had a different meaning, even the phrase "Let's talk" Become extremely yin and yang.Wu Chunxing really didn't know what was going on, with a completely out-of-the-ordinary expression, he looked at Qin Yao, who was squeezing the strawberry bowl, and then at his son who stood up slowly with a troubled expression, and said doubtfully: "What's wrong with you guys? The guests didn't leave..."

Qin Yao said angrily: "Look at the good son you raised!" After speaking, she raised her hand and was about to throw the pot of strawberries in her hand to the ground.Wu Chunxing was shocked when he saw this, and saved the pot of strawberries from Qin Yao in a heroic manner.Qin Yao couldn't resist Wu Chunxing, changed his target, and settled for the next best thing. He kicked over the trash can at the door of Wu Qinyang's room. With a noble and glamorous expression, he looked down upon all sentient beings and said through gritted teeth, "Come out!" Then he turned and went to the living room up.

Wu Chunxing took the opportunity to glance at Wu Qinyang, but saw that his son had his head down and his eyebrows were twisted together, unlike his usual complacent look when he made Qin Yao jump up in anger.Wu Chunxing has been used to this mother-son duo for so many years, and their skills are full of irony. Over time, they have become the joy of life, but they have never seen Qin Yao and Wu Qinyang like this before. Peacemaking is always difficult, and the key point is that he still doesn't know how Wu Qinyang provoked Qin Yao, and he can't even touch it - his son still looks like he's lost in the world.

In fact, Wu Qinyang was thinking, seriously thinking, and the sudden turn of the situation to the current point made him never expect that if there were no foreshadowing of last weekend's hesitation, Qin Yao probably wouldn't think so outrageously. , This time I really shot myself in the foot.Wu Qinyang clearly remembered that he had locked the door—a damn lock, but the key was how to explain it to Qin Yao.

Explanation may be easy to explain... wait, this may be a good opportunity.Wu Qinyang was thinking about whether to have a direct showdown with Qin Yao, and said, Mom, stop thinking about it, I like my brother, I want to live with my brother, Tan Yi was hired by me to act, just to let you There is a mental preparation, nothing else.The more Wu Qinyang thinks about it, the more he feels that this is good. Anyway, the situation is already very bad, so he is not afraid of getting worse. Anyway, there will come a day when Qin Yao will be furious once. It is better to hit the sun than choose another day.

Xiao Wu, who was determined to break the jar, was once again shocked by his decision. He felt that he was really a genius who judged the situation and seized the opportunity. He watched Qin Yao sit on the sofa in a particularly queenly manner, and raised his legs , Wu Qinyang decided to strike first, and said, "Mom..."

Qin Yao said: "Shut up! Haven't you ever heard of a saying that explaining is covering up! Okay, Wu Qinyang, you can do it, you know you want to find a boyfriend? I have no objection to you looking for a boyfriend, you see Did you say anything to your uncle, aunt, uncle Xu Boyin? Ah? Your mother and I are such an unenlightened person in your eyes? The big witch who blocked true love or the vicious stepmother? Do you have a conscience, little bastard? But you have to bring him back for me and your dad to see, you go the wrong way, chop the raw rice first and then cook the cooked rice, you, I don’t care about you, I can’t control you how much you mess around outside! But this is in At home, your dad and I are still here, if you don’t lock the door...you’ll be daylight if you don’t lock the door..."

But the doorbell rang at this moment.

Qin Yao uttered a long series without panting like a machine gun, bursting with sudden bursts of momentum. Seeing that Qi Shen Dantian was about to end, she was startled by the doorbell, and the word "declaration" was choked up immediately.Wu Chunxing and Wu Qinyang were stunned, feeling that there was a lot of information.

The former is "What the hell is wrong with me? My son has found a boyfriend and is still at home with someone =口=? When the fuck did this happen? I don't know at all. Am I still in this family!" , and the latter is "Wait what did my mother just say? Don't you object to my finding a boyfriend? Since the acceptance rate is so high, why do I go through all this trouble?" The two stared at each other dumbfounded, leaving Xia Qin Yao sat on the sofa and gasped for breath.

Wu Qinyang was immersed in the joy of "my mother is so open-minded" and couldn't extricate himself for a while. He wondered if he could explain it to Qin Yao while the iron was hot, would he be able to welcome my brother in gracefully?Wu Chunxing came back to it quickly, and felt that he had to figure out the cause and effect, because Wu Qinyang's finding a boyfriend was very serious, and Qin Yao's phrase "bring it back to see" was very serious. Yes, so he assumed the posture of the head of the family, decided to have a good talk with his son, and said in a deep voice, "Yang Yang."

As a result, he was facing his son's giggling face.

The doorbell rang again at this time, probably impatiently waiting.

It wasn't until the family of three realized that there were guests hanging out outside the door.Qin Yao looked at Wu Qinyang and snorted.

Wu Chunxing said: "Yaoyao." Meaning that I have something to say later, I walked over and opened the door.

The one who came was none other than the big cousin that Xiao Wu had been thinking about day and night, and he did not hesitate to try his best to catch up with him.

Wu Chunxing said, "Xiao Jue? Why are you here?"

Xuan Jue said, "I'm here to deliver something." As he spoke, he handed Wu Chunxing a paper bag, which contained a piece of information that he asked him to find a few days ago.

Wu Chunxing said: "Didn't I say that I can go to the company to get it on Monday? Come in first."

As soon as Xuanjue entered the door, he felt that the atmosphere was weird. Wu Chunxing, who had an obviously unnatural expression, Qin Yao, who had a cold face, and Wu Qinyang, who stood in front of Qin Yao as if he was being criticized, all looked tense. .When Xuan Jue came, he happened to run into Tan Yi who had just left downstairs, and wondered why Tan Yi appeared at Wu Qinyang's door at this time.Tan Yi didn't avoid him either, the two greeted each other, Tan Yi rubbed his nose in some hesitation, and just said "Go up quickly", the vague expression made Xuan Jue suspicious even more.

Xuan Jue was in a worse situation than Wu Chunxing at this time, completely unaware that this family turmoil was caused by him, so he asked Wu Qinyang what was wrong with his eyes with some doubts.Qin Yao brushed her hair, temporarily put down her glamorous and noble expression: "Xiao Jue is here? Let's eat strawberries."

Wu Qinyang didn't expect Xuan Jue to come, and in a moment of brain fever, he immediately wanted to pull his brother to confess to his mother that this is my true love. The mutual complaints between the two may bring happiness to everyone.Just as he was about to speak, Wu Chunxing stared back at him. His father was very capable of bluffing when he was angry.

Wu Qinyang was stared at by Wu Chunxing, and his mind was cleared up a bit. He realized that the emphasis of the two sentences "has a boyfriend" and "the boyfriend is my brother" seemed to be different. significantly higher than the former.If Xuanjue learned of Qin Yao's brain hole breaking through the sky before he could explain it clearly, and Xuanjue followed Qin Yao's thinking and misunderstood, this matter would probably become a knot, that would be terrible. no.Classmate Wu looked forward and backward for a while and finally calmed down, then looked at his mother with a smile on his face and said: "Yangyang, why are you standing? Come and sit."

Wu Qinyang sat down.

Xuan Jue whispered: "Why did you mess with your mother?"

Wu Qinyang whispered: "It's nothing..."

Qin Yao didn't continue to attack Wu Qinyang in front of Xuan Jue, mainly because she felt that her family's ugliness should not be publicized, because in her mind, Wu Qinyang's doing that was nothing, and she was afraid that Xuan Jue would think that she had intentions It means that if another person is mixed in, it will be even more chaotic.It’s all right for Wu Qinyang to have a boyfriend. If it’s true love, I won’t object. After all, now that technology is advanced and I have a rich brother, it’s not difficult to have a grandson from a test-tube baby, so the inheritance of the family is in Qin Yao’s heart Not a problem at all.Qin Yao didn't know why she was angry, it was probably because of her son's coming.Qin Yao was overwhelmed by a series of information. She didn't feel that Wu Qinyang brought Tan Yi back to play on the occasion. The way of thinking of the mother and son was not on the same frequency band at all.

Wu Qinyang thought that Xuan Jue must not let Xuan Jue know about his mother's incredible ideas, and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, Dad, do you know about the recent disappearance case?"

Wu Chunxing also felt that the current atmosphere urgently needed to be eased, and said following Wu Qinyang's words: "What disappearance case?"

"It's just that two people took the subway and then disappeared." Wu Qinyang thought for a while and this is the only thing he can say, "Two people took Line 13 and the other took Line No. [-], but they were both in Tanghetai. Station, isn’t that the interchange station for these two lines? I asked Sister Dan, and she said that both of them had a record of entering the station by swiping their cards, but they didn’t have a record of leaving the station—don’t you think it’s strange?”

Wu Chunxing seemed to be interested, and asked doubtfully, "The two disappeared on the subway?"

"That's right." Wu Qinyang said, "It's just that the subway is running and it doesn't stop, and the passengers around are sleeping. These two people think something is wrong, so they took their mobile phones and sent Weibo to ask for help on the Internet. It's open."

Wu Chunxing frowned calmly when he heard "stopping", and continued, "What about after that?"

Wu Qinyang said: "The subway kept driving, and finally these two people stopped at the same station, and the second person even posted a photo of that station, it's called 'Xuejun', it looks like decades The bus station before, but it is said on the Internet that there is no such station in city A, and I don’t remember any…”

Wu Chunxing and Qin Yao were both shocked when they heard the words, and Wu Chunxing's expression became extremely ugly in an instant, and he hurriedly interrupted Wu Qinyang's narration: "What did you say the station was called?!"

"Ah?" Wu Qinyang didn't realize what happened to his father for a while, and repeated subconsciously, "Xuejun..."

Xuan Jue noticed the abnormality in the expressions of the couple, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wu Qinyang didn't know what he said wrong, it was the first time he saw that shocked and painful expression on his father's face.Wu Chunxing murmured: "How come..." Wu Qinyang and Xuan Jue were startled by this appearance.

In the minds of both of them, Wu Chunxing has always been the kind of person who is particularly sunny. He seldom gets angry with others or complains to others. He is basically synonymous with being positive, optimistic and cheerful. expression.The two looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while, only Wu Qinyang called out in a low voice: "Dad?"

Qin Yao said: "Chun Xing." As he spoke, he shook Wu Chun Xing's hand very hard.Wu Chunxing was silent for a moment, realized that Wu Qinyang and Xuan Jue were still there, quickly curbed his gaffe, shook his head and said, "It's okay." But he still didn't let go of Qin Yao's hand.

This gesture of showing weakness made Qin Yao's heart suddenly angry, thinking that the old lady's person would dare to move even if she was lingering, so she couldn't help cursing: "Fuck it." Then he got up, "I'll go Call my brother."

Wu Chunxing took her hand and said in a low voice, "Don't go. It may not be..."

"What doesn't necessarily mean it! You're missing and the station is just a joke?" Qin Yao was really angry this time, she turned her head and said to Xuan Jue, "Xiao Jue, don't listen to him, call your dad !hurry up!"

Although Xuan Jue didn't know what happened, but seeing Wu Chunxing's reaction, he also knew that this matter might be unusual, so he dialed Qin Zhi's number as he said, and after a while, he heard the female voice on the other end of the phone: "I'm sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily closed. Unable to get through..." Seeing this, Xuan Jue replayed it twice, but still couldn't get through, so he shook his head and said to Qin Yao, "No way."

Wu Qinyang said: "Mom, what's the matter? My dad..."

At this time, Qin Yao didn't care about Wu Qinyang and his "boyfriend" anymore. She brushed her hair and said to Wu Qinyang, "Don't ask, it has nothing to do with you." Then she said to Xuan Jue, " Xiao Jue, you and Yang Yang go to the supermarket, buy two packs of pasta with a box of cheese, and bring back an onion, and I will make bolognese noodles for you tonight."

Knowing that Qin Yao and Wu Chunxing had something to say, Xuan Jue was looking for an excuse to let the two of them go, so he nodded in agreement, and pulled Wu Qin, who still wanted to talk, out the door.Wu Qinyang couldn't hide his words, and asked Xuan Jue as soon as he left the house: "Brother, what do you think is wrong with my parents?"

Xuan Jue shook his head and said, "I don't know either." He has been with Qin Yao and Wu Chunxing for more than 20 years, and he has never felt that the two of them have any secrets, but just now Qin Yao asked him to call his father, In other words, this "secret" Qin Zhi should have known about it, so it could only have been earlier, so at least it should have happened before the two of them were 20 years old.

Xuan Jue seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and asked Wu Qinyang, "Your father only..."

Wu Qinyang nodded and said, "Yes, it was very sudden..."

The two of them had no disagreement on this point. Wu Qinyang continued: "I think my dad reacted very strongly to that station called 'Xuejun'. Is it a problem with that station?"

Xuan Jue said: "Didn't you say that the second missing person sent a photo of that station? Find it out and show it to me."

Of course, the two of them were not in the mood to go to any supermarket at this time, so they went downstairs and found a gazebo in the community to sit down.Wu Qinyang found the website that Tan Yi had sent him at that time from the chat history, turned to the picture of the station, and handed the phone to Xuan Jue.

Xuan Jue said: "Now there is no such station."

Wu Qinyang said: "I also think this station looks like it was decades ago, you can see that it is also mentioned in the discussion below." Wu Qinyang flipped down the webpage again, "Look, brother, here it is."

Xuanjue said: "Between [-] and [-]..." Xuanjue softly repeated the deduction from the Internet.This era may be very far away to Wu Qinyang, but it is not unfamiliar to Xuan Jue, especially to Wu Chunxing and Qin Yao.A few years from [-]... Xuan Jue put this time into the range that he deduced before, it was about when Qin Yao and Wu Chunxing were about ten years old.

Wu Chunxing became Qin Zhi's apprentice when he was about ten years old.Xuanjue felt that he had grasped the important point in time, but there was no direct evidence to prove this inference, so he thought for a while and said to Wu Qinyang: "Don't say anything about this beforehand, I'll go to the police station and ask if it's related to this station." The news, after all, is related to the disappearance case, and the police should also be investigating it."

Wu Qinyang said: "It would be nice if that ordinary person didn't drive us out."

Xuan Jue said: "Isn't there still Uncle Qiao? Don't think about it yet."
