Chapter 73
Chapter 73
A group of night owls slept until noon, and it was still snowing outside. It wasn't a light snow, but a heavy snow. In Lin Hang's words, it was as big as cotton that had just been peeled from its husk, and it fell on the ground one by one. piled up in thick snowdrifts.
Jiang Xu stood in front of the window and peeked out, the sky and the earth were all white, dazzlingly bright, but the sky was cloudy, and the snow would not stop for a while.
Lin Hang had chicken coop feathers on his head, his eyelids seemed to be glued together, and he couldn't open his long johns after he had been wearing them for a long time.The heating in the room was fully turned on, but just looking at the scenery, it seemed cold after being automatically replaced. Lin Hang said that his eyes seemed cold.
"..." Jiang Xu still doesn't like so many men crowded into one bed, both physically and mentally, he is panicked.Every night when he sleeps, he has to face outward, half of his shoulder is sore from the pressure, but Ji Huai always likes to sleep facing him, Jiang Xu doesn't even have the chance to sleep on his back.
Looking at Ji Huai now, I have the urge to kick him to sleep, Jiang Xu endured the anger of getting up and exited the room, seeing Xiaoxiao sitting on the sofa watching his phone.
She looked up and said, "Morning."
"No job?" Jiang Xu asked.
"I changed the night shift with someone else." Xiaoxiao replied.
"At home during the day?" Jiang Xu asked again.
"Get out later."
Jiang Xu asked a question, Xiaoxiao replied, Jiang Xu could feel that the other party's mood was not too high, it was as low as the sky outside, and it could be seen that she didn't want to answer Jiang Xu's question too much, but Jiang Xu was still generous Yanpi asked again: "Where are you going?"
This question is too offensive, it's none of his business where people go, but Jiang Xu can't wait, they are looking for clues, so he will pay special attention to Xiaoxiao's every move.Jiang Xu waited for an expected answer: "It's not convenient to say."
It's snowing so much outside, if you don't wrap yourself inside and outside, you can't resist the cold wind like a cold blade. Besides, the people on the ground come and go, compressing a layer of ice, and the upper feet are still slippery Yes, where is a girl going?Could it be that Zhou Hong came to pick him up?
Jiang Xu wanted to figure out the inside and outside of a girl who was about to get married. He really looked like a pervert, so he simply changed the subject, pointed to the painting on his head, and said unintentionally: "This painting is very beautiful."
After a moment of daze, Xiaoxiao realized that what he was talking about was the painting on the sofa, and she couldn't help being amused: "Isn't it pretty? It was drawn by my husband and I. It's so abstract that only two people can be seen. , I can’t even tell which one is male and which one is female.”
Jiang Xu regarded her as being modest, and said, "I think it's quite beautiful and very distinctive. The point is the meaning of this painting, isn't it?"
"You are right." Xiaoxiao said.
Jiang Xu glanced at the sunflowers on the dining table, the golden color was really eye-catching, Jiang Xu probed: "I remember that sunflowers seemed to be blooming yesterday, but today they bloomed so well."
"I changed it. I have the habit of sleepwalking. I would wake up in the middle of the night and change the flowers myself."
Jiang Xu didn't expect her to tell the truth. The honesty made Jiang Xu feel surprised, but Jiang Xu didn't intend to stop, and asked: "Where did you buy these flowers? I went out yesterday to see that many flower shops didn't sell sunflowers." .”
Xiaoxiao clutched her phone, she didn't know what anecdote she saw, smiled lightly, raised her head after hearing Jiang Xu's question, and said, "Where are the sunflowers sold in this season, these are specially made by my husband to give me Find someone to train, and someone will send it over every evening."
"That's it." Jiang Xu responded.
After questioning and answering, I couldn't find any loopholes. How should I find out the clues.
Everyone got up and washed one after another. They really regarded this as their own home. After lunch time, the hostess lifted up her heels and went out.Jiang Xu grabbed his coat, quickly put on his hat and scarf, and was ready to go out.
Ji Huai grabbed his arm: "Where are you going?"
"See where she goes."
"I'll go too." Ji Huai was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, so he didn't have time to put on a sweater, so he zipped up his down jacket and it was considered ready.
"I want to go too!" Lin Hang couldn't hold back, and wanted to go out to catch his breath. Jiang Xu knew that if he took Lin Hang out, he would come back in less than 10 minutes because the weather was too cold, so Jiang Xu was determined not to take him.
"Ji Huai and I can just go. If there are too many people, we will be discovered. It's too late, so let's go first." Jiang Xu pushed the door and walked out after finishing speaking.
Li Ziyao put his arms around Lin Hang's narrow shoulders, and teasingly said, "If someone is going on a date, don't be a light bulb."
After hearing this, Lin Hang went back into the house aggrieved, and refused to go if he didn't go, and slept in the dark again, which was much more comfortable than the freezing cold outside.
Jiang Xu and Ji Huai stood in the shadow at the corner of the corridor, they walked out after seeing Xiaoxiao walk into the elevator room, and took the elevator on the other side to go downstairs.
Someone downstairs in the community shoveled the snow from the ground, leaving a special path for walking, the sky and the earth were all white, only Jiang Xu and Ji Huai were in the dark, keeping a distance from Xiaoxiao, and following closely behind.After walking more than ten meters, a layer of snowflakes fell on the shoulders of the two, mixed with the black clothes on their bodies, like white flower buds dotted in it.
Xiaoxiao flagged down a taxi on the side of the road, looked around, Ji Huai and Jiang Xu lowered the brim of their hats tacitly.
After the car drove out, the two rushed to the road to stop a car, and got into the car like bandits without asking if the driver would pick up the passengers.Fortunately, the road was slippery in the snow, and the speed of the car on the road was downshifted. The two of them kept a close eye on Xiaoxiao's car, for fear of losing track.
The driver looked back at the two people frequently. The two big men followed a little girl. No matter how they thought about it, they seemed to be plotting evil and harboring malicious intentions.
"Oh, that's my little sister. I heard that she is in a relationship. The man's character is not very good. We are going to arrest him." Ji Huai saw the meaning in the driver's eyes and hurriedly explained, for fear that he would call the police. .
After hearing this, the driver relaxed his vigilance a little, hehe laughed twice: "The little girl is still young, who is not impulsive when she is young, you let her get hurt and suffer a little bit, she will figure it out by herself."
"You're right, but she's my sister after all, I can't just watch her being bullied." Ji Huai chatted enthusiastically with people in the front seat, and Jiang Xu was very good at listening to him make up nonsense.
"Then who is this?" The driver glanced at Jiang Xu through the rearview mirror, and thought to himself that this man just sat behind him without saying a word, with his hat on so he couldn't even see his eyes, he looked gloomy.
Ji Huai turned his head and thought, "Oh, this is my younger brother."
Jiang Xu gouged him out.
"Then this little girl is really lucky. It's a blessing to have two brothers who are so good to her and take care of her." The driver smiled slightly.
Ji Huai became interested: "My younger sister is actually quite obedient, but she is not very good at judging people, but my younger brother is quite a headache."
"..." Jiang Xu remained silent, listening to him talking nonsense.
The driver glanced at the rearview mirror again, at this moment Jiang Xu turned his head up, and happened to meet his eyes, his eyes were colder than the frost and snow outside, the driver restrained his smile, quickly looked away, and said worriedly: "Boy? , must be more rebellious than girls."
Ji Huai rubbed his hands and agreed, "I think so too."
For the rest of the drive, the three of them had no communication, and the driver was a little inexplicably afraid of Jiang Xu, fearing that Jiang Xu would attack if they talked a little longer.
The car was quiet for a while, and the lying car drove for a long time, so long that Jiang Xu thought they had followed the wrong car. Seeing that the tall buildings outside the window were gradually thinning out and covered by more and more white, the taxi finally stopped.
"Your sister is really interesting." The driver knocked on the steering wheel and couldn't help teasing.
"What do you mean?" Ji Huai asked.
"Isn't this a cemetery? Why does your sister have a tryst with someone like this?" The driver said casually, "Maybe she came to this place just to hide from you."
The two paid the money and got out of the car. This is really a cemetery, but it is covered by snowflakes, so it is really hard to tell at first glance.
"What is she doing in this kind of place?" Ji Huai stood in place, his eyelashes covered with soft and thin snow.
"You'll know if you go in and have a look." Jiang Xu raised his leg and negotiated with the gatekeepers before letting them in.
Ji Huai pulled the zipper to the top, covering the lower half of his face tightly, for fear of being seen by Xiaoxiao.This cemetery is very large. If it is spring and summer, there should be a lot of green plants, and the environment is definitely good.
The two walked in and found Xiaoxiao after searching for a long time. She was squatting in front of a tombstone, and there was a bunch of sunflowers in front of the tombstone, which was very eye-catching in the ice and snow.Before the two of them had time to take a look, Xiaoxiao stood up suddenly. The two of them had no place to hide, and they would be found wherever they hid in such a spacious place, so they simply pretended to visit the family members of the deceased.
The two were confused, and Ji Huai had already started to make up nonsense about being recognized in his mind. What a coincidence, you also came to see the deceased. Thinking about such words, I feel that the other party's IQ has been insulted.
Jiang Xu and Ji Huai had their backs to Xiaoxiao, so it shouldn't be obvious from the back view alone, Xiaoxiao left without taking his eyes off it.Ji Huai breathed a sigh of relief, and walked towards the tombstone on the creaking snow.
The sunflower is fresh, but it is out of tune with the surroundings. One is the product of the midsummer season, but it appears in the snow without the slightest color embellishment. It is not something in a season, so its sluggish disappearance is doomed.
The snow on the stele was brushed away, and it was clean, but the snow fell too much, and a new layer had already accumulated.
The two glanced at the photo of the deceased's life on the stele, and said in unison: "Zhou Hong?"
Afraid his eyes were not dazzled, Ji Huai wiped off a little frost left on the photo with his fingertips, and the person in the photo was indeed Zhou Hong.What kind of supernatural phenomenon is this?
"Axu, tell me, could Xiaoxiao marry a ghost marriage..." Ji Huai wondered wildly.
Jiang Xu looked at the bouquet of flowers, Xiaoxiao said that Zhou Hong gave her the flowers, but Zhou Hong was obviously dead, so who gave her the flowers?Also, she is going to get married soon, and who will marry her?Could it be that there is another Zhou Hong?Looking at Xiaoxiao's appearance, she knew that Zhou Hong was dead. If so, why did she want to get married?
