Chapter 503 Strange aunt's house
Sent Cheng Yue home, and sure enough, there was no one at home.
He Jianbin did not come back.
As soon as I entered the house during the summer solstice, I felt a huge difference between the inside and outside.
The curtains are always drawn in the room, which makes it a little dark, and there is a strange smell in the room.
It feels like mold or moisture. In short, the air is not comfortable and feels cold and damp.
Xia Zhi sent Aunt Chengyue back to the bed in the back room.
Aunt Chengyue has started to cough again.
Drinking some water, he directed Xia Zhi to help himself get the medicine on the table, and then lay down after drinking the medicine.
Cheng Yue has 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, broken and old wardrobe, and even the door of the wardrobe can no longer be closed properly.
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 inside the house.
She still believed this. After all, Aunt Chengyue said that He Jianbin was a good man.
Aunt Chengyue described He Jianbin as someone who commuted to and from get off work at 2:00 and 1st line. He came home to do housework, cook, and wash clothes. He was a top ten good man.
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.
The depression and discomfort I can feel, the dampness and coldness.
On the one hand, it is related to the orientation of the house, 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 he had just taken, 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 tongue-tied, was about to leave. He hesitated, 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 is 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 is placed outside the house and the other is placed inside the house.
This normal person also finds it understandable. After all, there is a patient in the house 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.
At this moment, only a voice was heard.
"what are you doing?"
That sound was like thunder immediately, 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.
He Jianbin's gloomy face softened instantly when he saw the water glass smashed on the ground.
“Uncle, are you back?”
"Xiao Xia, why are you here?" He Jianbin walked into the room as if he didn't care. He 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.
The urgency in his voice can be heard by even a fool.
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 could be seen exposed due to nervousness.
Xia Zhi smiled,
“Uncle, what’s wrong?
It was me who accidentally hit your cup. You said that I was embarrassed that a guest hit something belonging to the host.
Uncle, please lower your voice. Auntie 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 and I'll tidy up the place. "
He Jianbin wanted 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, let me go back to the guest house first so I won’t disturb you.
By the way, uncle, let me find someone to buy the tickets. You and your aunt don’t have to worry about it. You can just go with me then. "
He Jianbin sent Xia Zhi out vaguely, and was relieved when he saw Xia Zhi leaving with a calm expression.
Hurry back into the house, close the door, sweep away all the glass shards on the floor of the inner room, and then open the thermos bottle and look at the water inside.
Thanks for not letting Xia Zhi drink water. If Xia Zhi drank this water, if something went wrong, the Shen family would not be able to forgive him.
Xia Zhi returned to the guest house.
I asked the staff to answer the phone directly. The staff was very impatient.
Who came to answer the phone at 11 o'clock after 10 o'clock in the evening, but fortunately for the money given by Xia Zhi.
They still borrowed the phone.
Xu Fangda returned home today and found a group of friends to explain the matter.
At the moment, I am staying with the old man at home, and the old man has fallen asleep.
As a result, the phone rang at home.
Actually, this phone number is not their home phone number. This phone number is the home phone number of a factory director and cadre in their courtyard.
Given the conditions of their home, how could a phone be installed in their home?
But because the house they borrowed was a side house of the factory director's house.
Give people a little money every month, otherwise the father and son will not even have a place to stay.
The house originally belonged to their family, but later it was moved out in order to provide treatment for my grandfather.
Later, a telephone was installed. The father and son were more like the telephone managers at the factory director’s house. If anything happened, they would call the factory director.
If nothing happens, just send the factory manager a wink or a gesture, and they will understand.
The phone rang in the middle of the night.
Xu Fangda hurriedly answered the phone and could not disturb other people.
