After the breeze blew, it cooled down. Xiao Zhuo sighed: "The scenery in this mountain village is very good."

Su Li looked ahead. The mist between the mountains had not yet dissipated. The ridges of misty mountain were hidden among the clouds. The white clouds slowly floated between the blue sky, with an unrealistic beauty.

"Let's go!"

Xiao Zhuo took the lead and walked in front. The two of them rushed to the mountain village where Hu Yangyang's family was early in the morning. When they reached the foot of the mountain, they found that the car could not drive up the mountain.

The mountain road that was going upwards was narrow and curved, and it was difficult for two adults to walk together, so Xiao Zhuo had to park his car on the side of the road and take Su Li to walk up the mountain.

The two of them walked more and more silently on the road. The uneven and steep paths and the shaking iron chain wooden bridges made the colder the eyes of Xiao Zhuo every few meters ahead.

He held a hard rock and took the force to cross a slope, turned around and prepared to Rasuli, but he saw Suli leaping up with a lighter movement than he did.

"Why did you stop? Let's go!" Su Li said strangely after standing still.

“…”

Xiao Zhuo silently withdrew his hand and continued to lead the way. After walking for about half an hour, he finally saw the house located in the mountains.

There were some busy farming people in the terraced fields on the hillside. After seeing two strange faces of Xiao Zhuo and Su Li, they both stopped their work and looked at them strangely.

Xiao Zhuo walked to the village head, sitting under the tree on the roadside to enjoy the cool air, and asked politely: "Uncle, do you know where Hu Yangyang lives?"

The old man paused his hand with a palm fan and replied, which made Xiao Zhuo stunned.

He looked back at Su Li with a blank expression on his face, but Su Li also looked unexpected. It was not that the old man said something shocking, but that the old man spoke in dialect, which made people unable to understand a word.

After Xiao Zhuo and the old man communicated with each other, they successfully annoyed the old man, got up and patted his butt and left directly.

Su Li met Xiao Zhuo's resentful eyes and immediately changed her gaze to look elsewhere. Sorry, she couldn't understand.

"Go to the village first! Find younger villagers and ask," Su Li said after looking around.

Fortunately, the two of them had just asked two households in the village and met a man who was rushing to come.

He looked over thirties, with a dark complexion, wearing a loose short jacket and a lot of mud on his cloth shoes.

"Hello, I am Gao Dongliang, the village chief of this village. Are you two?" He spoke in normal Mandarin, and his words were humble and simple.

Xiao Zhuo took out his ID and showed it to him, and said, "We are from the Municipal Criminal Police Team."

Gao Dongliang: "Criminal Police? Is there anything you have to do?"

Xiao Zhuo: "Where is Hu Yangyang's family? We need to ask about some things."

Gao Dongliang looked a little confused: "Yangyang family?"

He pointed a way backwards: "On that, I'll take you there, but Yangyang wasn't last year..."

Xiao Zhuo nodded and walked forward with him, and replied, "Well, let's ask his family about something, who else is there in his family?"

Gao Dongliang sighed deeply when he heard this, and then told Xiao Zhuo and Su Li about the situation of the Hu family.

It turned out that Hu Yangyang was not a child of the Hu family. Hu Yangyang's adoptive parents couldn't get pregnant again after giving birth to a daughter. Grandma Hu decided to adopt Hu Yangyang.

Originally, the family of six lived a good life, but when Hu Yangyang was three years old, his adoptive father had a mess and lost his life. After that, his adoptive mother could not bear the pressure of life and remarried, and the burden of life was suddenly pressed on Hu Yangyang's grandparents.

The two old men tried a lot to pull the child a little bit, but their granddaughter couldn't withstand the pressure of life and jumped into the river when she was 14 years old.

After finally waiting for Hu Yangyang to grow up, his grades were still very good. He was about to get into college and changed his life, but he was in trouble.

While speaking, a few people arrived in front of a low mud room. Gao Dongliang stood in the yard and shouted in dialect: "Mother-in-law! Are you at home?"

After he finished calling, the door opened tremblingly. An old man with gray hair and clothes all covered with patches stood at the door. Her eyes narrowed slightly and asked softly: "Who?"

Gao Dongliang walked up to her and explained the purpose of Xiao Zhuo and Su Li, and then the old lady welcomed them in.

Gao Dongliang opened both wooden doors, then pulled two small stools from the bottom of the table and handed them to Xiao Zhuo and the others.

He was embarrassed to explain: "My mother-in-law is old and her eyes are not good, and the room is not easy to clean, so don't mind if it is not clean."

"Is it Dongliang?" A weaker voice sounded, and Su Li saw an old man lying behind the debris cabinet.

"Hey! It's me." Gao Dongliang walked over and lifted the old man who wanted to sit up, letting him lean halfway against the wall.

After the two of them had a conversation, Gao Dongliang walked back and said to Xiao Zhuo: "This is Hu Yangyang's grandfather. He was sick and could only lie down on the bed. He just asked who you are, and I told him."

Xiao Zhuo nodded, feeling a little glad that Gao Dongliang came with him and could help translate this dialect, otherwise they would really not be able to communicate.

Grandma Hu was holding two bowls and trying to pour water for them. When Gao Dongliang saw it, he immediately took it over, picked her up and sat down on the bench, and said to her: "Mother-in-law, if you can't see clearly, don't move,

Sit down, I'll fall down."

Gao Dongliang looked at the bowl he took, and there was dirt on it. He was embarrassed to say to Xiao Zhuo and the others: "This...why should I go home and pour you two glasses of water!"

Su Li shook her head: "No, we are not thirsty, let's talk about the matter first!"

Gao Dongliang nodded and put the bowl on the table.

Su Li looked at Grandma Hu who had been looking at outside the door after sitting down and asked Gao Dongliang: "What's wrong with her eyes?"

"As you get older, your eyesight is getting worse and worse. Yangyang took her to the hospital before and took some medicine for a while. It was getting better during that period, but... After Yangyang's accident, my mother-in-law kept crying.

, the eyes are worse."

Su Li looked around the room and the most piled up besides the debris were various medicine boxes and bottles.

She asked, "Are these medicines bought by Hu Yangyang?"

Gao Dongliang: "It should be that there is no one else except Yangyang."

He said again: "And you don't know, Yangyang's child is really good. When he comes back from holiday, he will help his family work, and help other people in the village. He doesn't want to give him money, so he asks everyone to take care of him on weekdays.

Grandpa and grandma, I was so thin that I was so skinny that I was carrying his grandfather for several hours and went to the county for medical treatment for several hours, alas!"

Su Li got up to the medicine box on the table, frowned and looked at it carefully. Xiao Zhuo took the conversation and asked about Hu Yangyang's situation when something happened.

Gao Dongliang said to Xiao Zhuo: "I know this. I basically helped deal with it. At that time, Director Sun from the school came to inform us. Then I took a few people from the village to bring the people back."

Xiao Zhuo asked: "Director Sun, is Sun Shizhong?"

"Yes, it's him!"

"What did the school say at that time?"

"Just say that Yangyang fell into the water and the people were gone, let's take it back."

"Did you check the body? Is there any strange place?"

"No, Yang Yang's body was soaked in water at that time that it was not good." He noticed something was wrong: "Is there something wrong? Why did you suddenly ask Yang Yang again?"

Xiao Zhuo shook his head: "It's okay, we're just here to ask."

Then he looked at the two old men and asked, "Did the school provide compensation?"

"I gave 1,000 yuan, and Director Sun helped hold the funeral."

Su Li pointed at the end of Grandpa Hu's bed and suddenly spoke, "Who bought these?"

Gao Dongliang got up and walked over. He saw that there were two cans of oximurethane and some supplements. The box was relatively new. He smiled and said, "It should be Director Sun. He occasionally comes to see his mother-in-law and the others."

Su Li raised the medicine box in her hand: "Is this also bought by Sun Shizhong?"

She saw that Gao Dongliang did not react and explained: "The production date of this medicine is March this year, and it is impossible for Hu Yangyang to buy it."

Gao Dongliang was stunned, asked Grandpa Hu a few words, and then confirmed to Su Li: "It was bought by Director Sun."

He sighed with some emotion: "I really didn't expect Director Sun to help buy medicine. He is really good."

Su Li and Xiao Zhuo looked at each other and didn't say anything. After Xiao Zhuo asked a few more questions, he left here with Su Li.

On the return car.

Xiao Zhuo said: "Why did Sun Shizhong do so much after the school has given compensation?"

Su Li: "Either he is kind or he wants to make up for it."

"Compensation? What do he want to compensate?"

"That depends on what happened between them, and Hu Yangyang's money for buying medicine is wrong."

"wrong?"

"I looked at his grandparents' medicine. There are two types of medicines that are not cheap. You can't afford it by relying solely on Hu Yangyang's scholarship and subsidies for poor students."

"Where would he get the money?"

"Do you still remember a sentence from Qiao Wei's diary?'I told him not to go, and I told the teacher that he told me not to meddle in other people's business...' He would be injured when he went, but he would still

Go, why? He is the first in the grade. Since the school specially recruited him to ask for the admission rate he could bring, if he was violent on campus, the school would not completely ignore it. This would be contrary to the original intention of the school, but he

But he told Qiao Wei not to meddle in other people's business."

"He has a reason to have to go."

Su Li whispered: "Do you say this reason... will it have something to do with money?"

Xiao Zhuo pondered for a moment and said, "Gao Dongliang also said something. Last year, Grandpa Hu Yangyang had a resurgence of surgery. The villagers still lost nearly 100 yuan after raising the money. As a result, Hu Yangyang went out and collected the remaining money.

He was a little embarrassed when he returned to the hospital and was injured. Gao Dongliang thought he was beaten to steal other people's money. Later, Hu Yangyang said he was borrowed from his classmates. When he came back, he ran too fast and fell down."

He glanced at Su Li: "Maybe it really has something to do with money. Who gave him the money?"

Su Li recalled the contents of Qiao Wei's diary in her mind again, and she suddenly sat up straight and said coldly: "I seem to know!"
