"After the next intersection, turn in, and then go through two alleys, the small yard inside is Jingyong's house"

in this era, Mingzhou has not developed as well as later. In addition to the urban and other core areas, the fringe areas are still in the state of urban-rural integration. Under the guidance of the girl, Lin Xi drove to a village in the south of the city.

This village in the city has long been planned by the municipal government to expand the landmark business district, but for some unknown reason, it has been shelved.

Walking into this village, Lin Xi saw that on the walls of every family, there was a striking word "tear down". It was a sign to make a fortune. It was really "a thousand words".

Besides a few local people, most of them are migrant workers, and there are also many local ruffians. The streets are noisy and the garbage is thrown everywhere. Flies and mosquitoes are flying around, buzzing and smelling.

"Mingming, does the Jingyong family really live here?"

After Yu Qingming, Lin Xi follows suit. It's hard for him to imagine that Jing Yong would live in such a place.

As a matter of principle, Jing Yong's salary is not low, so it is not difficult to improve his living conditions. Besides, Meng Fankai bought him money, which is a well-off family.

Since the family is rich, how can they live in such a place? It's hard to imagine!

Did he squander his money? According to Lin Xi's understanding of Jing Yong, he would never be that kind of person.

"Yes, his house is right in front of him. That Jingyong is really strange. When he comes home from work, he can't even sit in the public car. He comes back on foot. I followed him that day, and my ankle was almost broken."

Hearing Yu Qingming's words, Lin Xideng was very surprised. The pawn shop is not close to here. It takes at least an hour and a half to walk, which is time-consuming and laborious.

Is Jing Yong so short of money that he has to save money on the bus to commute on foot?

Lin Xi thinks that the information shows that Jing Yong's mother is seriously ill, and most of his income is used to treat his mother and provide for his sister to go to school. Is everything he does related to his mother and sister?

"Nuo, that yard is the Jingyong family."

More than ten minutes later, Yu Qingming and Lin Xi turn left and right in the village, and finally see the courtyard of Jingyong's family, which is a typical southern courtyard, with blue bricks and white tiles, covered with the traces of time.

In front of the courtyard, there is a tall old locust tree with luxuriant branches and leaves. It is a good place to enjoy the cool in summer.

On the gate of siheyuan, there are two new year pictures of door gods, but they are not yuchigong and qinqiong, but Shenda and Yulei, which are used to suppress evil and eliminate evil.

Those two new year's pictures should have been some time. They have been mottled and the edges and corners have been damaged.

It can be seen that this courtyard occupies a large area. If it can be demolished, it will definitely get a lot of compensation.

"Is anyone there, please?"

The door of the courtyard is wide open. Lin Xi knocks at the door. There is no reaction inside, but he can't see clearly the scene in the courtyard, because behind the door, there is a wall photo blocking the view.

The mural photo is an ordinary mural photo. It depicts the southern style of butterflies circling the flowers. It looks quite artistic. It can be seen that the Jingyong family used to be a big family, but they failed for some reason.

Lin Xi frowned. Today is the rest day. The gate of the courtyard is open, but Jing Yong is not at home. What's the matter?

After pondering for a moment, Lin Xi decides not to invite himself in. He takes Yu Qingming into the yard and goes over the wall. When he sees the wall photo, he is surprised beyond description.

Behind the wall photo is the courtyard of siheyuan, but other people's Siheyuan is a place for daily life. Not to mention the display of various living utensils, they can grow some flowers and plants to cultivate their sentiment.

But Jingyong's courtyard is bare and has nothing. It's like a family in vain.

Not only that, Lin Xi also vaguely saw that several rooms in the courtyard were empty, which was even poorer than the erga family in Fenghuang village.

Apart from occupying a large area, this courtyard is completely empty!

When walking into the courtyard, Lin Xi hears the thick smell of traditional Chinese medicine in the air. It's different from the smell of Fenghuang village's medicine stove. It's the smell of traditional Chinese medicine that can't be dispersed after boiling all the year round.

This medicine gas is very messy, and Lin Xi can't tell what disease he is treating. Even he faintly smells the decaying breath from the medicine gas.

Associating with Jing Yong's mother who was seriously ill, Lin Xi realized that Jing Yong must have given these traditional Chinese medicines to her mother.

"Who are you looking for? Is it to find a Yong? He has something to go out and will come back at noon "

suddenly, an old voice, such as Hongzhong Dalu, rings in his ear. It is strange that his voice is old but so loud.

And that voice, with weakness and sickness, seemed even more strange.

Following the prestige, I saw a small woman with a withered shape and a bone wrapped skin sitting at the door of the courtyard facing south. I could see the shadow of Jing Yong from her eyebrows.The woman must be Jing Yong's mother.

But it's very strange. Jing Yong is about the same age as Lin Xi. His mother should be in her fifties, but the woman in front of him is like seventy-eight, dying, with white hair, sparse and disordered, jumping in the air and shaking.

What's more terrible is that her face is as red as charcoal. It's so red that it's like the color painted on it. I'm afraid that if she blushes with Guan Gong, Guan Gong will be inferior.

Not only that, all the skin of her whole body revealed a morbid bright red, like the blood vessels under the skin, all burst, which made her panic.

The moment he saw the old man, Lin Xi realized that the old man was not only ill, but also seriously ill, or a very rare incurable disease!

He also realized that Jing Yong and Meng Fankai were in the same boat, probably for the sake of the elderly. For some reason, he suddenly understood Jing Yong, even if it was him.

Because people are cornered, they can do anything, they can't even live, what else to fear?

"Auntie, we are colleagues of brother Jing. We are here to see you."

Yu Qingming is afraid of the old man. She hides behind Lin Xi and does not dare to come out. But Lin Xi has no taboo and walks over with a smile.

"Are you a Yong's colleagues? Oh, why didn't he say it earlier? I'm always in a state of mind when something happens. Let me prepare for reception. Come in, young man. I can't move. Just feel free. "

Lin Xi found out that the old man was sitting in a wheelchair. No wonder he was so small, and there was a high threshold at the door, so the wheelchair couldn't get out.

It must have been Jing Yong's intention to prevent his absence that the old man would have an accident.

"Auntie, isn't brother Jing resting today? Why isn't he at home?"

After entering the room, although the furnishings were simple, they were much better than the other empty rooms.

Lin Xi also keenly noticed that on the table in the middle of the room, there were several important packages, and the Khaki wrapping paper on the outside was particularly conspicuous.

"The child said that he had nothing to do at home and had to go out to do casual work, but he couldn't stop it. It was his illness that dragged him down, ah ····"

after Lin Xi sat down, the old man pushed a wheelchair to pour tea for her. Tea is the cheapest bitter wheat tea, but it can relieve heat in summer.

Before pouring tea, the old man specially washed the cup, and then dared to fill it. It was not intentional, but a habit accumulated over the years.

It can be seen that when an old man is young, he should also be a woman from a rich family.

"Casual work?"

Lin Xi was surprised. He seemed to see his shadow from Jing Yong. In the past, in order to improve his family's condition, he would go out to do casual work on the rest day.

But he hasn't done it since he acquired the eye of heaven.

At the same time, we can see that Jing Yong's family conditions are not optimistic.

"Auntie, we are colleagues of brother Jing. I'm the manager of the pawn shop. My name is Lin Xi. This is my sister Yu Qingming, who is also the financial staff of the pawn shop. Today, I come here mainly to understand brother Jing's situation, so that I can carry out my work better in the future."

This is the wording that Lin Xi has already thought about. Maybe he can learn something from the old man ······
