Good times always pass very fast.

The warm sun in the afternoon faded, and the window immediately became cold and miserable, full of bleak strength.

If it weren't for the smell of the new year in the streets, I'm afraid this winter would be particularly difficult.

Fortunately, the Chinese New Year is coming in nine days.

In the study, Wu Tao closed Zhao Li's small book and remembered that he had not heard from Zhao Li for a long time.

I remember that he agreed to keep in touch. He was busy all the time, and Zhao Li surprisingly didn't call him.

But it doesn't matter. I'll go to her myself sooner or later.

Because of this story outline, he learned from the setting and upgrading system of many online novels in previous lives. Some key details need to be explained face-to-face in order to understand.

Near dinner time, the card game in the living room was over.

Shi Guangyao fought very hard, but he was scolded by Tang Yan. However, the two cousins, who were not quite right in character, cooperated with each other very tacitly and successfully upgraded customs clearance twice in a row.

As soon as she threw away the card, Tang Yan stretched herself, looked at the clock on the wall, and said, "Oh, it's so late. Sweet, should we go home? "

Ding Tiantian put down the magazine and said quietly, "I'll wait for you."

"Why didn't you say it earlier..." Tang Yan complained.

Shi Guangyao washed his cards and volunteered, "I'll send you?"

Shi Qianxue couldn't help laughing and said, "what do you take?"

Wu Tao said with a smile: "I have two or eight bars downstairs..."

Shi Kuan Yew said without any modesty: "you can consider it. I'm in Taipei. I'm called the little prince of cycling ~"

"Get out!" Tang Yan did not hide her disgust.

An Rong also wants to go home for dinner. Only the two cousins have no dinner left.

"Second cousin, cousin, what are you two going to eat? Come back to the village with me to eat and help with ancestor worship? "

The two cousins shook their heads and said, "spicy hot!"

I lost to these two people.

Pajero reluctantly stuffed seven young people, but after walking around to the next community and putting down an Rong, the car soon became much more relaxed.

Pass through the east gate of Beijiang middle school and put down the cousins; Then the first guest house, put down Shi Guangyao; Then there is the eastern suburb glass factory. Put down Ding Tiantian. Finally, only Wu Tao and Tang Yan were left to drive back to Binhu town.

Tang Yan's family lives in Qiantang Bay. Like Zhao Li's family in houtang Bay, they are all in villages near Binhu town.

So Tang Yan was sent to the entrance of the village, and Pajero took a detour directly to houtang Bay.

I really don't know how high Zhao Li can deduce this story outline? Vaguely, Wu Tao was full of expectation.

Soon it was getting dark. Pajero drove across a bridge and entered the boundary of houtang Bay.

However, Wu Tao did not know the specific location of Zhao Li's house, so he had to get off and ask for directions.

At the moment, every family in the village has a curl of cooking smoke, mixed with the occasional barking of dogs and the laughter of children bombing artillery battles.

Walking into the dilapidated gate of the first house, the rhubarb dog tied at the door immediately jumped up and rushed over. As a result, Song Zhuang stared, sobbed and retracted.

The hostess in the yard was a rural woman in her early thirties, wearing a floral apron, shuttling between the kitchen and the well, preparing dinner.

Seeing them coming in, the action of washing rice in their hands stopped and stared at them with a puzzled face.

Wu Tao, holding a rolled up notebook in his hand, said cordially, "do you know how to get to Zhao Li's house?"

"Zhao Li's family, you mean Zhao Da Fu's family?"

Wu Tao couldn't help but stagnate. Then he vaguely remembered that Zhao Li's father seemed to be this name.

"Yes, sister, please show us the way?"

Unexpectedly, the other side looked wary and said, "look at your posture, are you here to collect debts from Zhao Dafu's family?"

Song Zhuang hurriedly said, "no, no, it's not..."

Wu Tao heard something wrong and immediately interrupted, "elder sister, as far as I know, the conditions of Zhao Dafu family have always been very good. How can you owe someone money? "

Then he saw a jumping little girl running out of the house and took out a handful of white rabbit milk candy to the child.

When the little girl's mother saw this, she thanked her, and then she stopped treating Wu Tao as an outsider.

"To tell you the truth, the conditions of Zhao Dafu's family are good, but that's before."

"... now, people come to collect debts every day, and the valuable things in the family have long been empty!"

"... a family has four bites and has to hide all day. It's pathetic to think about it..."

Wu Tao was shocked. "Why, sister?"

"Why else?" The woman turned her eyes. "The Zhao family has offended people. They are stuck in business. They can't sell the goods. They hit them in their hands. They can't get the payment back and don't pay the bill. The wholesalers are pressing for payment again. It's not even the New Year! "

"Offended someone?" Wu Tao pressed.

"It is said that the Zhao family ruined a marriage six months ago. Zhao Li was so angry that she had to go to high school in the city and refused. Isn't that revenge now? "

"That's amazing!" Wu Tao thought.

"Isn't it? It is said that the man's family is not a small official... "

"Thank you, elder sister," Wu Tao said to the little girl with a handful of milk candy. "Can you tell me how to get to her house? Don't worry, I'm not here to charge. "

"I saw it. One by one, they are ferocious and rough. How can they understand etiquette like you? Zhao Dafu's family drove straight ahead to the first house by the fish pond. "

Three minutes later, the car stopped by the fish pond.

Wu Tao got out of the car and looked at the ruts at Zhao Li's door. There was a mess. He couldn't help regretting that he came too late.

The doors of several houses around this row are all closed, one by one with a gloomy smell.

This is really abnormal in the countryside. Ordinary people seldom close their doors after seven or eight in the evening.

When he came to the red paint mottled gate, Wu Tao knocked hard. In addition to being worried, he couldn't help using a little more strength.

Dududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududui... Anyone?

There was a flurry of noise in the hospital, and then it was quiet.

Wu Tao and Song Zhuang exchanged eyes. Song Zhuang went to the porch, jumped lightly, climbed up the wall and looked into the courtyard.

"How's it going, uncle Zhuang?"

As an old investigator, Song Zhuang grinned and said, "it looks like no one is hiding, and there is a back door."

Just someone! Wu Tao returned to the door and continued to clap the door. While clapping, he shouted, "is Zhao Li at home? I'm Wu Tao. Are uncle and aunt at home? I'm Zhao Li's classmate... "

After a burst of urgent call, there was a movement in the hall room. Then a stumbled figure rushed into the yard and came behind the door. There was excitement and tension in the trembling voice, "Wu Tao, is it really you?"

"Can't you hear my voice? Open the door quickly... "
