Weather: cloudy and rainy

I tripped over Princess Disease while running in the morning. Fortunately, I wore thick clothes and it didn't hurt much. But my hand was stepped on by the flatterer and it hurt when I held the pen to write. I didn't even finish the papers for the self-study exam in the evening.

The weather is getting colder, but I still like to go to the rooftop, because there is Xiaohua accompanying me to endorse it. I am worried that it will be cold, so I add a piece of clothing to its nest.

My stomach has been hurting recently and I feel very uncomfortable. I checked online and it said that I might be infected. I am very scared. What if I really get sick? I don’t dare to go to the school hospital, and I don’t dare to tell my mother. I go to the hospital secretly because I am afraid of money.

Not enough, what should I do...

——

Village in the city.

The car couldn't be driven in, so Lin Che could only park on the side of the road and the three of them walked inside.

There are low-slung houses, dilapidated and messy, with blue tin sheds built illegally everywhere, electric tricycles parked haphazardly on the roadside, garbage piled in the corners, and puddles on the ground emitting a disgusting stench.

Old people sitting at the door smoking cheap cigarettes, middle-aged men and women with vicissitudes of life struggling for life, unemployed young people with tattoos and colorful hair, wandering around with cigarettes in their mouths, children in miserable clothes chasing each other and playing.

, a few curse words would pop out of his mouth from time to time...

Around the urban village, there are high-rise buildings that have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. It seems that the squalor, filth, chaos and dilapidation of the entire city have been swept in here, like a sticky plaster that has been applied for many days.

, stuck in the city with a smelly smell.

The three of them walked through a game hall. The yellow-haired young man squatting at the door stood up and put his arm around Meng Kang's shoulders. He glanced sideways at Mu Yang and said, "Dameng, your classmate? May I introduce you to him?"

Lin Che's pupils contracted a bit and she stared at the little yellow hair.

Meng Kang shook his shoulders, pushed the person away, and said angrily, "Get out of the way!"

Xiao Huangmao looked at Mu Yang, probably because he didn't want to lose face in front of the pretty girl, he spat on the ground, waved his fists and came up to fight Meng Kang.

Meng Kang subconsciously took a step forward, wanting to protect Mu Yang.

Lin Che took a step ahead of her, pinched Xiao Huangmao's wrist, turned it back, and pushed it behind her back. Xiao Huangmao cried out in pain, "I don't dare anymore! I don't dare anymore!"

Before Lin Che let go, she lifted Xiao Huangmao's hand up. Xiao Huangmao's face turned pale in pain.

"roll."

Lin Che's voice was not harsh, but the sound just now frightened Xiao Huangmao. He glared at Meng Kang and said, "Wait for me!"

After saying that, he glanced at Lin Che fearfully, rubbed his shoulders and slipped into the game room.

Meng Kang led the two of them through several narrow and messy alleys and pointed at a small two-story bungalow.

"That's my home."

At the door of the house, an old lady with gray hair was sitting on a small bench, wearing a pink apron that had been washed white. There was a pot with mottled enamel in front of her, picking vegetables.

The old lady raised her head and saw someone at the entrance of the alley, but her eyesight probably wasn't very good. She stared at it for a while before she recognized it was Meng Kang.

"Kangkang?"

The old lady put down the half handful of vegetables she had picked, stood up with her knees bent, and wiped her hands on her apron, "Don't you have to go to school? Why are you back?"

Meng Kang grabbed his school uniform and looked at Mu Yang.

Mu Yang gave her a comforting look and took the initiative to step forward, "Hello, grandma, I am a teacher at Mengkang School, and this is Police Officer Lin. We are here for a home visit."

When she heard Mu Yang's identity, the old lady felt a little uneasy. When she heard that Lin Che was actually a policeman, the old lady was so frightened that her eyes suddenly turned red. With trembling hands, she asked cautiously, "Did my Kangkang get into trouble again at school?"

?Do you want to pay compensation?"

"Grandma, don't worry. It's just a home visit. Let's chat and talk about Meng Kang's situation at home and at school."

Mu Yang was very approachable and had a friendly smile. The old lady didn't think much about it. She breathed a sigh of relief, arched her back, and warmly invited the two of them into the house.

"Kangkang, go and pour water for the two teachers."

It was said to be a two-story bungalow, but it actually had one room upstairs and one room downstairs. There was a tin shed set up outside the house that served as a kitchen. It was obvious that life was very difficult.

"You guys sit down first while I go change into clean clothes."

Mu Yang smiled and nodded.

Out of professional habits, Lin Che unconsciously looked at her surroundings.

The room was very small. Even at noon, the room was a bit dark without turning on the lights. The walls were peeling off a lot, and there were black mold spots on the corners. There were several woven bags and bags of empty bottles at the door.

Although the house is small and old, it is very clean.

The wall facing the sofa is covered with awards. There are awards for helping others from elementary school, learning progress awards from junior high schools, and more awards from Taekwondo competitions. There is a glass cabinet at the foot of the wall, which contains trophies and medals.

There is a black and white portrait on the cabinet.

"Grandma, the pork in the market today is fresh, I bought some for you on the way!"

A cheerful voice came from the door, and a muscular man came in. When he saw Lin Che and Mu Yang in the room, he was stunned, "Who are you?"

Meng Kang came in with two glasses of water and introduced in a low voice, "That is the policeman investigating Tian Beibei's case, and this is Sister Mu Yang."

The middle-aged man turned to look at Meng Kang and said with a straight face, "Why are you here? Did you skip class again?!"

Hearing the sound, the old lady buttoned the last two buttons and came downstairs anxiously.

"Xiao Wang is here?"

The middle-aged man put down the food in his hand, walked to the stairs and helped the old lady down.

After asking Lin Che and Mu Yang why they were here, the middle-aged man teased Meng Kang and said, "You accompany grandma to buy some fruit."

Then he looked at the two people in front of him, "I know Meng Kang's situation very well, how about we talk?"

The old lady nodded and answered, "Yes, yes, he watched Kangkang grow up. I am old and my brain is not enough. Xiao Wang, let me tell you."

Lin Che and Mu Yang looked at each other. Although they didn't speak, Lin Che understood what Mu Yang meant. The little girl wanted to talk to the middle-aged man.

The old lady is Meng Kang's only guardian. However, the old lady is old, and talking to her will not have much effect. However, this middle-aged man named Wang, judging from his behavior after entering the door, should be very close to Meng Kang.

He lectured Meng Kang without even replying.

Lin Che nodded slightly to Mu Yang and agreed with this decision.

Meng Kang took his grandmother out. The middle-aged man pulled up a chair, sat across from the sofa, and introduced himself, "My name is Wang Wan, and I am Meng Kang's taekwondo coach. She learned from me when she was very young, and she has been

Now, she can still listen to a few words of what I say. If anything happens, just tell me and I will definitely educate her well."

Lin Che told the general situation of the case. When he heard that Meng Kang bullied his classmates, the middle-aged man was so angry that his masseter muscles bulged and he clenched his fists tightly.

"Although Tian Beibei's fall was an accident, the school and the family of the deceased will definitely handle the situation of campus bullying. The follow-up may involve investigation and compensation of related situations, and your cooperation is needed," Lin Che said.

"No problem, no problem."
