Chapter 560 Mom?
After getting up the next day, they both ran to the public toilet outside to use the toilet.
When they came out of the public restroom, their eyes looked at each other a little unnaturally. They had held it back when they were washing up in the hotel, and they had held it back when they were checking out. They acted relaxed the whole time, but the speed at which they ran to the public restroom betrayed both of them.
As a grown man, Lu Yuanqiu originally didn't care about so many things, but now he actually has some idol baggage.
After getting up in the morning, Bai Qingxia turned back into the quiet girl she used to be. The complete change in their mood probably started from the moment they got on the bus to the countryside. The atmosphere between the two sitting in the seats was a little quiet, which was in sharp contrast to last night, perhaps because they both thought about the problems they would face next with Sister Li.
It was early May, and it was still a little cold in the mountains early in the morning. Bai Qingxia carefully covered Lu Yuanqiu with the coat that she had prepared long ago, and tucked in the corners of the clothes carefully. Lu Yuanqiu woke up from a nap and saw that Bai Qingxia had also put on a coat, so he closed his eyes again.
A few minutes later, Bai Qingxia felt sleepy and put her head on Lu Yuanqiu's shoulder and closed her eyes to rest.
The bus stopped and started, moving forward along the winding mountain road. Green branches and leaves passed by the window, occasionally making a scratching sound. Not far away were green terraces all over the mountains. It was not clear whether rice or tea was planted in the fields, but at least something was planted there.
Bai Qingxia closed her eyes to rest at first, but then she kept looking at the scenery outside the window. The golden sunlight covering the mountains gradually became wider, and she realized that Sister Li's home was in such a beautiful place.
She was afraid of missing her stop, so she didn't dare to sleep, but she didn't raise her head from Lu Yuanqiu's shoulder.
The bus arrived at the destination after driving for more than an hour. Bai Qingxia was about to remind Lu Yuanqiu, but found that Lu Yuanqiu's eyes were already open.
The two got off the bus and stood on the concrete road. Lu Yuanqiu stared at the address on the note, while Bai Qingxia squatted down and stared at a frog jumping in the paddy field below. She suddenly remembered that when she was watching "Kung Fu" at Sister Li's house, Sister Li pointed at the Fire Cloud Evil God and said that there was a kind of stone frog in her hometown that was particularly delicious.
Bai Qingxia couldn't imagine it at the time. Looking at the Fire Cloud Evil God lying on the ground and using Toad Kung Fu on TV, she just felt a little nauseous and had no appetite.
Looking back now, most of her childhood actually took place in Sister Li's little house. It was also in Sister Li's little house that she gradually came into contact with the outline of the 21st century.
"Let's move on."
Lu Yuanqiu bent down and patted her shoulder.
Both of their suitcases were stored in the county, and now they only have one bag left.
Lu Yuanqiu held the girl's hand and walked towards the village after getting off the road. The villagers got up very early. An old man passing by with a bamboo basket on his back looked at the two young people curiously, and looked back at them when they passed by. Bai Qingxia also looked back at the old man.
This seemed to be a small village built on the mountain. The walls of the scattered houses in the village were all white, and the tiles on the roofs were pitch black. Various crops were planted on both sides of the stone-paved paths. At this time, two or three old men working in the fields stood up and looked at Lu Yuanqiu and the others.
Lu Yuanqiu looked at them and led Bai Qingxia, who was also looking at them, into the village.
The two of them searched house by house and soon stopped at the door of a two-story building that seemed to have been built not long ago. After comparing the house numbers, Lu Yuanqiu was sure that this was Sister Li's home.
The door was open. He turned around to look at Bai Qingxia, then walked forward and knocked on the door.
"Hello? Is anyone here?" Lu Yuanqiu looked inside.
A girl about twelve or thirteen years old with a ponytail ran out first when she heard the sound. She looked at Lu Yuanqiu and the other person shyly, then took a few steps back and looked into the gate, as if she was looking at her own parents.
Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia did not enter the yard, but stood at the door. The little girl stood at the corner of the yard and began to look at Bai Qingxia, looking very shy.
"Who?" Soon, a middle-aged man with half-white hair and dark skin came out of the hall holding a bowl. He looked at the two strangers at the door, his expression changed, and his tone became cautious: "Who are you looking for?"
Then, another middle-aged woman poked her head out from another room and looked around. The middle-aged couple looked simple, but their expressions were somewhat cautious and vigilant, except for the little girl at the beginning, who was looking at Lu Yuanqiu and the other person very seriously.
Lu Yuanqiu explained with a smile: "It's like this, we came from Lucheng, we were Zhang Li's former neighbors, Sister Li should have mentioned us, right? By the way, her last name is Bai, Bai Qingxia, and my last name is Lu. I live next door to Sister Li's rental house. Has Sister Li mentioned us to you?"
Bai Qingxia greeted them: "Hello."
According to the police station, the uniformed uncle who came to inquire at the time got only the message "still in touch" but the family did not provide any other information. They just didn't know when asked. Zhang Li had never told them anything, but Zhang Li was indeed normal in Lucheng and nothing had happened to her.
This made the uniform uncle punch cotton. The relatives said that everything was normal, so how could they file a case? It just so happened that they had a lot of trivial matters, so they were too lazy to care about it. They called Lu Yuanqiu and the others back to talk about the case.
Lu Yuanqiu suspected that this was Sister Li's special instruction.
But if this family knew him and Bai Qingxia, they might reveal some information, because Sister Li would never tell her family that Bai Qingxia was a bad person.
"I don't know them." The middle-aged man spoke broken Mandarin and shook his head. He seemed unwilling to pay attention to the two people at the door. He didn't even ask "What are you doing here?" He just walked towards the hall with the bowl in his hand.
Lu Yuanqiu saw the little girl's eyes in the yard suddenly light up, but because of the two adults around, she did not step forward.
Although he could guess the answer, Lu Yuanqiu still asked: "Excuse me, where is Zhang Li moved to now, do you know?"
"have no idea."
This time it was the middle-aged woman who answered. After she finished speaking, she walked up and led the little girl in the yard into the house. The little girl kept looking back, as if she wanted to say something.
After a moment of thought, Lu Yuanqiu smiled and nodded: "Okay, sorry to bother you."
He and Bai Qingxia pretended to walk outside, very slowly. Lu Yuanqiu looked at the surrounding houses and found that there were very few two-story buildings in this area. Sister Li must have paid a lot for this family.
Sure enough, before they had walked far, they heard a series of "pa pa pa" running sounds behind them. Lu Yuanqiu and the other man turned around and found that it was the little girl.
"Sister...brother, sister, wait a minute!"
She ran to Lu Yuanqiu and the other man, panting. The little girl spoke standard Mandarin. She raised her head and explained, "Grandpa and grandma don't know you, but mom has mentioned you to me many times, especially sister Bai Qingxia."
"Mom...?" Lu Yuanqiu looked at her in surprise, and then looked at Bai Qingxia who was equally surprised.
