Chapter 503: The Strange Aunt's House

Send Cheng Yue home, and sure enough, there is no one at home.

He Jianbin did not come back.

As soon as I entered the house during the summer solstice, I felt that there was a huge difference between the inside of the house and the outside.

The curtains are closed all year round in the house, which makes it a little dark, and there is a strange smell in the house.

It seemed like mold or moisture. In short, the air was not comfortable, and it felt cold and damp.

Xia Zhi sent Aunt Chengyue back to the bed in the back room.

Aunt Chengyue has started to cough again.

After drinking some water, he directed Xia Zhi to help himself get the medicine on the table. After drinking the medicine, he lay down.

Chengyue had closed her eyes weakly.

It seems that this round trip is obviously too far and too tiring for Chengyue.

Xia Zhi covered Cheng Yue with a quilt and saw that Cheng Yue had fallen asleep, so she carefully observed the room.

The house is actually very simple, except for a big, old and broken wardrobe, and even the door of the wardrobe can no longer be closed perfectly.

Although the clothes inside were folded neatly, you could see that they were patched.

Then there is a chest of drawers next to the bed. This chest of drawers is also old and broken.

If it wasn't old and dilapidated, it would have been moved away long ago.

If He Jianbin wanted to do something, it was obviously impossible to do it in the house.

She still believed this. After all, Aunt Chengyue said that He Jianbin was a good man.

Aunt Chengyue described He Jianbin as a top ten good man who commuted to and from get off work between 2:00 and 1st line and came home to do housework, cooking, and laundry.

How could this man get himself contaminated with these unclean things when he stayed with his aunt at home every day?

Even a guess can tell that there must be nothing wrong with this room.

I can feel this kind of depression, discomfort, dampness and coldness.

On the one hand, it is related to the orientation of the room, and on the other hand, it may be because the curtains have been closed for a long time.

The most likely tampering was the medicine my aunt took.

Xia Zhi poured out a few pills from the medicine bottle she just took, and remembered the name of the medicine on the bottle.

Wrap it in paper and put it in your pocket.

Xia Zhi, who was thirsty and ready to leave, hesitated for a moment, poured half a glass of water, and prepared to drink the water before leaving.

When I was pouring water, I discovered that there were two thermos bottles at home. It was normal to have two thermos bottles.

There was no surprise.

There is a thermos bottle placed by my aunt's bedside. The thermos bottle is red. After so many years of use, the bright red skin has become mottled.

The thermos bottle that I poured water into outside the house was a rattan-shell thermos bottle that had been used for a long time.

But the appearance of this rattan thermos bottle has been cleaned very clean.

Logically speaking, it has been used for more than ten years. The rattan on the outside of this thermos bottle has long been broken and collapsed, but the owner actually took care of it so carefully.

The most important thing is the location of the two thermos bottles, one outside the house and one inside.

This normal person also thinks it is understandable. After all, there is a patient in the room who needs water at any time.

Xia Zhi poured half a glass of water from the thermos bottle on her aunt's bedside and just picked it up to drink.

Just then a voice was heard.

"What are you doing?"

The sound immediately sounded like thunder, startling Xia Zhi, and the water glass in his hand fell to the ground with a bang.

Xia Zhi hurriedly turned around and saw He Jianbin standing at the door.

Seeing the water glass smashed on the ground, He Jianbin's gloomy face softened instantly.

"Uncle, are you back?"

"Xiaoxia, why are you here?"

He Jianbin walked into the room as if he didn't care, saw the glass on the ground, and said hurriedly.

"Xiao Xia, you go sit in the outer room first, and I'll tidy up the place, otherwise the glass shards will easily hurt you."

Xia Zhi glanced at the cup and then at He Jianbin.

The look on He Jianbin's face was obviously very nervous, which was slightly different from his usual good-natured image.

Even a fool can hear the urgency in his voice.

He Jianbin became even more nervous when he saw him and said hurriedly,

"What's wrong with Xiaoxia? Is there something wrong?"

The hands were clenched tightly into fists, and the veins on the fists were so nervous that one could see them exposed.

Xia Zhi smiled,

"Uncle, what's wrong?

It was me who accidentally hit your cup. You said you were a guest, but you hit something belonging to the host. I feel embarrassed.

Uncle, please lower your voice. My aunt just drank medicine and finally fell asleep. Don't wake her up. "

He glanced sideways at Chengyue on the bed. Aunt Chengyue was sleeping deeply at the moment.

The two of them made such loud noises that they didn't wake her up.

Xia Zhi thought about the medicine in his pocket again. It seemed that there was something wrong with the medicine.

"It's okay, your aunt has a bad health and sleeps very deeply when she can sleep.

Well, you go sit outside while I clean up the place. "

He Jianbin couldn't wait to drive Xia Zhi out quickly. Everything in this house was in order.

Otherwise, it will be troublesome once others discover the clues.

"Uncle, okay, I'll go back to the guest house first so I won't disturb you.

By the way, uncle, I'll find someone to buy the tickets. You and your aunt don't have to worry about it. You can just go with me when the time comes. "

He Jianbin sent Xia Zhi out vaguely, and was relieved when he saw Xia Zhi leaving with a calm expression.

He hurried back to the house, closed the door, swept away all the broken glass on the floor of the inner room, and then opened the thermos to check the water inside.

Fortunately, Xia Zhi was not allowed to drink the water. If Xia Zhi drank the water, if something went wrong, the Shen family would not forgive him.

Xia Zhi returned to the guesthouse.

He asked the staff to answer the phone directly, but the staff was very impatient.

Who would come to answer the phone at 10 or 11 o'clock in the evening, but fortunately, for the money given by Xia Zhi.

People still borrowed the phone.

Xu Fangda returned home today and found a group of friends to explain the matter.

Now he is at home with the old man, and the old man is asleep.

As a result, the phone at home rang.

In fact, this phone is not their home phone, this phone is the phone of a factory director in their yard.

With their family conditions, how could the phone be installed in their home?

But because the house they rented is the side room of the factory director's family.

Give them a little money every month, otherwise the father and son would have nowhere to live.

The house originally belonged to them, but later they changed the house to pay for grandpa's medical treatment.

Later, a telephone was installed, and the father and son were more like telephone administrators in the factory director's house. If there was anything, they would call the factory director.

If there was nothing, the factory director only needed to wink or make a gesture, and they would understand.

The phone rang in the middle of the night.

Xu Fangda hurriedly answered the phone, not wanting to disturb others.
