This is awkward, I only said that I wanted to threaten Wen Xuan and make him change his mind, who would have thought that he would actually agree to it …

It doesn't matter what he does when the time comes. I'll just follow him and get what I want. I can think of a way to block him, so I'll be more at ease if I follow him.

I asked Aunt Bai to help me pack up. In the morning, Wen Xuan came to pick me up.

When I got to the road, my intestines were full of regret.

This dirt road gave me a good beating. Originally, the food that I ate these few days was not digested, but this time, I vomited out all the food that I ate the other night.

By the time I reached the place, I was almost half dead and I didn't care about the bed or the environment. I fell head first onto Old Madame Deng's bed and couldn't get up.

Old Madame Deng had been accompanying me all day, wiping my face and wiping my hands to feed me water. She thought she was home, but when she woke up, she was still in this run-down room.

Wen Xuan didn't even look at me. Even this crappy little courtyard seemed to be disgusted by him, for fear of dirtying his shoes.

I felt dizzy and nauseous. My chest felt like it had been pressed down by a stone.

"Grandmother, help me get some water …"

I said weakly.

The old lady shakily brought some water over, supported me up and fed me some water.

"Why did you run so far after breaking your bones?" The old lady kept blaming me.

There's something I have to explain to the old man. We're looking for someone.

I was sure that I wasn't seeing things. The old man looked a bit flustered, but he didn't continue to chat with me. He immediately carried the cup out.

Wen Xuan and the rest should still be fumbling around for Xiao Ming's hiding place, I don't know why they haven't come to find Old Madame Deng to interrogate him, but they threw me here.

I wanted to call Xiao Chen to ask about the situation, but there's no internet for my phone here. Luckily I gave the Jian Jia to Lulu and Qi Yu to look after before I left, otherwise, I would have been stunned.

He heard the Old Madame Deng talking to someone in the small courtyard outside the house. "She's in the house, she hasn't slept yet."

After that, Xiao Chen came in from outside. He picked up some random food and quickly shook the snow on his body, telling me to buy something to look at me.

"Heh, this is such a crappy place," Xiao Chen placed the food on the table. "I don't have any brothers who want to buy a box of good cigarettes.

I took out a loaf of bread, tore open the wrapper and ate a few mouthfuls, trying to suppress my stomach so that I wouldn't have to retch again, only to spit out a few mouthfuls of water that I had just swallowed.

Old Madame Deng quickly came over to clean it up. I still had to wash the rags in this cold winter, so I asked Xiao Chen to come over and help me. Xiao Chen hid to the side and did not move. I didn't even think about it and said nothing.

"I'll go to the back yard to wash the rags. You two speak first." Old Madame Deng walked out of the room with a cloth that was trembling.

I then asked Xiao Chen, how was it with them, did they have the whereabouts of Xiao Ming's men?

"That grandson is really cunning," Xiao Chen said as he wiped off his chair and sat down in disdain. "You said that he could hide in such a big place, yet we still searched for half a day …"

Before he finished speaking, I heard the sound of a pot falling outside the door that wasn't closed. Xiao Chen immediately shot out to check who it was.

"Sigh …" This … this person is already old and useless. He can't even hold the bucket anymore … "I'm fine, I'm fine. Tell me, I'll clean up …"

Didn't Old Madame Deng go to the backyard to wash the rags? The two of us heard the back door slam shut. Why is this old lady at the door …

"Then grandma, please slow down …"

After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he watched Old Madame Deng go to the backyard, then returned and closed the door. He then signaled to Old Madame Deng with his head.

"What's going on with that old lady?"

I lowered my voice and told the Xiao Chen that I was going to look for someone.

Xiao Chen vigilantly looked at his surroundings and told me, "You don't know, Brother Xuan and I have explored most of this village, but there is no news …"

However, Xiao Chen and the others had asked around for information on Shen Yu, and some of the middle-aged men knew that Shen Yu was dead, but not many knew that she was alive. They had all unanimously replied to Shen Yu's whereabouts and had gone out to work a long time ago, but there was no other news.

"Then... Where's Shen Hui? " I whispered to the Xiao Chen.

In the end, Xiao Chen asked me which Shen Hui?

Looks like Xiao Chen didn't know about the relationship between Shen Hui and Shen Yu. I immediately thought of not letting Xiao Chen know that it might be Wen Xuan's idea and immediately said that I had slept soundly.

Xiao Chen could also be considered Wen Xuan's trusted aide, to think that Wen Xuan was hiding even from him.

"..." "Sister!"

Xiao Chen patted me, scaring me to death.

"What's wrong, Sis?" Xiao Chen looked at me speechlessly. "I'm leaving, pay attention to yourself."

I nodded and told him to go back.

Faintly, I thought I had been lying down for too long and struggled to get up, trying to clear my head, but I fell down.

When the Old Madame Deng heard the sound, she quickly came in and helped me back to bed. She just needed to tell me to take whatever it was she wanted, so I didn't want her to run around on her own.

"I'm fine, Grandma," I said, head down.

Old Madame Deng asked me what was wrong. I pulled her to sit down and told her that it was almost New Year.

"Grandmother, if Shen Hui Shen Yu's two children are here, then they should be back to accompany you …"

I deliberately relied on this aspect of my words. In reality, my plan was to get more information from these two people.

"If it was in the past, how would you have endured …"

I'm talking about the old lady's sore spot. The old lady reluctantly took out a yellowed paper bag from the headboard, which contained photographs of the two brothers and their son and daughter-in-law. Many years ago, Big Sister Xiao Qiu gave birth to a pretty little sister next door. If it were a few decades later, she would be a beauty with an undiminished charm, just like Aunt Lin.

There were many photos of the past here, and the old man didn't mind me flipping through them myself. I flipped through them one by one until I stopped at a photo of Sister Qiu, which was still a student.

There were three people in the picture. One of them was obviously Shen Hui, the second was Sister Qiu, and the third was a boy the same age as Shen Hui.

"Grandmother, this is …" I pointed to the unfamiliar face and asked the Old Madame Deng.

The old lady seemed to be slightly flustered, but she quickly retracted her gaze and replied, "It's Little Hui's classmate. Classmate …"

Then the old lady took the picture away and went to talk about the other one.

The Old Madame Deng didn't keep the last photo. She took the opportunity to slip it into her apron's pocket while I was looking down. However, her actions were completely exposed in my line of sight.

I told the old lady that I was sleepy again and silently watched her turn off the light and leave.

At that time, I only wanted to tell Xiao Chen about this and let them finish the rest of the task. However, when I unlocked my phone and looked at the empty signal panel, I remembered that the phone in my hand is now a brick that can only be seen by time.

This isn't easy. My walking stick must have made some noise. This room is too small, so my walking stick was placed in the outer room. That way, I can get out of this room, but I might not be able to go to the other side to put things in there.

Forget it, let's take a look at the situation first. We can look for it when the time comes.

It took almost every ounce of energy in my body to get out of bed and see if there was any light at the bottom of the door. I carefully opened the door and observed what was going on outside.

Old Madame Deng had her back facing me with her head lowered. She was probably looking at the picture just now. Old Madame Deng looked at it for a while, then silently put the photo back into her apron's pocket.

Old Madame Deng took off his apron to wash up, and threw it on the table in the outer room. I checked the arrangement of the items in the outer room. I should be able to walk over while holding onto the wall.

I carefully opened the door and saw that Old Madame Deng was indeed washing up there. I then supported myself with the wall and slowly moved out of the house.

Be careful not to make a sound.

I kept thinking about it, but in the end I heard the back door open.

Startled and flustered, I saw that there were two large jars of junk beside me to cover my tracks, so I dropped to the ground and held my breath while I waited for the sound of footsteps in the house.

But I waited for a long time, but the sound didn't come. I moved forward, looked around, and saw that I wasn't in the house.

It was probably the sound of the north wind blowing against the door frame.

It took a lot of effort for me to get up from the floor and look at the table with the apron in it, but all I felt was that the table was far enough away for me to cross Asia.

I started to hesitate whether I should go and grab that apron like a retarded person. I was sure that I had memorized the person's appearance in the photo, and would only need to wait for the opportunity to contact Wen Xuan's group to ask for a photo of Xiao Ming to see if it was true or not.

Furthermore, if I take the photo now, Old Madame Deng would easily find out in a while. There's only us in this room, she would definitely think that I was the one who took it. At that time, if I want to get any information from her, it will be because she is wary of me and won't let me find any flaws easily.

Then forget it?

It wasn't easy for me to find a new direction to head back to my room, but this time, someone really did push open the back door.

The Old Madame Deng is coming back!

What excuse should I give?

There was a lot of food and water in the drinking room, so it shouldn't be this side of the house even if he went to the toilet!

Forget about it for now, hiding for a while is fine, I can't let the Old Madame Deng find out that I noticed the photo. Otherwise, if I were to rouse them, Xiao Ming will become a cripple if he runs away again.

I changed directions again and hid against two large water jars, but this time I noticed an interesting place...
