Rebirth begins with rejecting Qingmei

Chapter 764: Distress text message
  At noon.

Xu Xiuwen received the notice from Teacher Zhang.

The police have contacted Du Qingling's father.

The latter said that Du Qingling had arrived home safely.

Xu Xiuwen was relieved after learning from Teacher Zhang.

in the afternoon.

Ning Wanqiu drove Xu Xiuwen back to her hometown for New Year's Eve dinner.

Compared to last year when he went home to celebrate the New Year, Xu Xiuwen was on tenterhooks along the way.

This time, Ning Wanqiu's driving skills improved a lot.

After finally returning to my grandparents’ house.

It's different from before.

This time the car hasn't reached the door yet.

My uncle's family and several aunt's families all came to the door to greet me.

And everyone had a smile on their face.

Even my aunt, who has always been difficult to deal with, smiled.

After the car stopped.

Xu Xiuwen got out of the car.

He walked directly to the back of the car, opened the trunk, and took out the gift he had brought back.

There is food and drink, as well as clothes, tobacco and alcohol.

Last year Xu Xiuwen only bought clothes for his younger brothers and sisters.

This year he might as well buy a set for everyone.

I also specially bought good cigarettes and wine from Guangming Distillery for my uncle and uncle.

All these things together don't cost much.

But it will allow him to truly have a good year.

The elders were surprised and happy when they saw Xu Xiuwen taking out the gift.

My aunt was polite.

Others took the gifts directly.

After Ning Wanqiu got out of the car, she heard her aunt's words and said with a smile: "It's okay, little sister, this is the child's wish."

The aunt accepted the gift after hearing this.

Afterwards, the elders praised Xu Xiuwen one after another, saying that they had long seen that Xu Xiuwen was different from other children and must have a future.

Like Xu Xiuwen's cousin, he was originally a little unconvinced and jealous of Xu Xiuwen.

But after receiving a pair of hook sneakers, I immediately beamed and couldn't wait to try them on.

Ning Jiali also got a gift.

However, she did not rush to put them on. Instead, she walked to Xu Xiuwen and said with a smile: "Cousin, you and my third aunt bought me so many clothes that I can hardly wear them anymore."

Xu Xiuwen smiled and said, "Then give it back to me, and I'll give it to someone else."

Ning Jiali was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

Seeing this, Xu Xiuwen couldn't help but laugh, "I'm teasing you."

Ning Jiali wrinkled her nose and said, "My cousin is annoying, so he only knows how to tease me..."

After Xu Xiuwen and Ning Wanqiu came back.

Many people came to visit one after another.

Xu Xiuwen is also very generous, offering cigarettes to adults and giving sweets to children.

Every elder was full of praise for Xu Xiuwen.

Soon it was time for New Year’s Eve dinner.

The atmosphere at the dinner table this year was extremely harmonious.

Xu Xiuwen and Ning Wanqiu naturally became the focus of the dinner table and the center of the conversation.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner.

The elders gathered together to chat.

The juniors gathered together to play cards.

Xu Xiuwen did not want peace between the two, and began to call and send text messages to senior teachers, friends and classmates.

Among them, the one who sent him the most text messages was Xiao Youran.

Xiao Youran said in a text message that she missed him very much and wished she could appear in front of him right away.

Xu Xiuwen joked that he would drive to find her at night.

Xiao Youran believed it and was very happy.

In the end, Xu Xiuwen said he was just teasing her.

Xiao Youran was greatly disappointed.

Chatted with Xiao Youran for a while.

Xu Xiuwen suddenly received a text message from Du Qingling.

Xu Xiuwen thought it was Du Qingling's New Year's message and didn't pay attention.

But after clicking it, I saw the content of the text message.

He was startled for a moment.

The content of the text message was very short, only two words, "Save me"

Although there are only two words, the meaning of these two words is too unique.

Xu Xiuwen thought for a moment that Du Qingling had made a typo.

But this possibility soon disappeared.

He immediately called Du Qingling.

As a result the phone was switched off.

This unusual situation made Xu Xiuwen feel uneasy.

He began to guess what happened to Du Qingling.

Why would she send him a distress message?

Why can't she get through on the phone?
  Did something really happen to her?

However, I learned from Teacher Zhang that the police had contacted Du Qingling’s father.

The latter said that Du Qingling got home safely.

It is impossible for the police and Teacher Zhang to lie.

Could it be that Du Qingling's father lied?

But why did Du Qingling's father lie?
  And if something happens to Du Qingling.

Since she could send text messages, why didn't she call the police?
  For a moment, Xu Xiuwen was in a state of confusion.

At this moment, Xu Xiuwen had two choices in front of him.

First, I didn’t take it seriously, thinking that Du Qingling made a typo.

Second, investigate clearly to ensure that nothing happened to Du Qingling.

Xu Xiuwen thought for a moment of leaving Du Qingling alone.

But the scene of two people touching each other suddenly came to mind.

Two images are the most impressive.

The first scene is outside the bar.

After he fell to the ground, Du Qingling approached and said, "Are you okay?"

The second scene is in Du Qingling's dormitory. The girl kneels down next to him and applies safflower oil on him.

The last picture in his mind was the moment he recognized Du Qingling as his god-sister.

It was at this time.

Xu Xiuwen made a decision.

Xu Xiuwen didn't want to trouble the police again this time.

Because I've already had trouble once this morning.

But it seems to have no effect.

Xu Xiuwen quickly dialed Teacher Zhang's phone number.

I found out the detailed address of Du Qingling’s home from Teacher Zhang.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Xiuwen found Ning Wanqiu and got the car keys.

Ning Wanqiu couldn't help but ask: "It's so late, where are you going?"

Xu Xiuwen explained: "I'm in a hurry. I'll tell you more about it later. I'm leaving."

After saying that, Xu Xiuwen rushed outside the house and came to the car.

Xu Xiuwen just started the car.

Ning Jiali came out of the room.

"Cousin, where are you going?"

Xu Xiuwen said while reversing the car: "Lili, I'm in a hurry. I'll talk to you later."

Ning Jiali saw Xu Xiuwen's anxious expression and did not add to the chaos.

She nodded and said, "Cousin, please be safe."

"it is good."

There are no street lights in rural areas at night, and the only light source is car lights.

In addition, the road is not easy to walk.

Xu Xiuwen carefully backed the car onto the dirt road.

Then he quickly drove away from here.

After driving for 7 hours.

Xu Xiuwen finally arrived at wh city.

It was already 4 o'clock in the morning.

Xu Xiuwen also looked a little sleepy.

But he had no intention of resting.

After entering wh city.

It took another hour.

Xu Xiuwen finally drove to the area near Du Qingling's house.

The area where Du Qingling's home is located is an old city.

The tallest building around is only a six-story building.

But there are many such buildings and they are very dense.

Xu Xiuwen only knew that Du Qingling's family was in this area.

But which one it is, I won’t be able to find it for a while.

At this time.

Xu Xiuwen suddenly saw an old man who got up early to exercise.

He quickly parked the car, got out of the car, and approached the uncle to ask for directions: "Uncle, do you know where xxxx is?"

The uncle looked up at Xu Xiuwen and asked, "What do you do?"

Xu Xiuwen explained: "I came here to see my classmate. My classmate's name is Du Qingling, but I can't find where her home is."

Xu Xiuwen noticed that after he finished speaking, the uncle looked at him strangely.

Xu Xiuwen immediately reacted and asked, "Uncle, do you know Du Qingling?"

The uncle actually nodded.

Xu Xiuwen was overjoyed when he saw this. He hurriedly said: "Uncle, can you take me to her house?"

The uncle said: "Young man, no matter what your relationship is with her, I advise you not to go to her."

Xu Xiuwen was stunned and asked, "Why?"

The uncle looked at Xu Xiuwen's expression and saw that he seemed to know nothing, so he said, "It's hard to explain. Anyway, you'd better not provoke him."

Xu Xiuwen thought that the uncle regarded him as Du Qingling's suitor, so he told him not to pester Du Qingling.

But on the night of New Year's Eve, he drove for several hours to find Du Qingling.

Obviously there was no thought of giving up halfway.

What's more, he has already arrived near Du Qingling's house.

Xu Xiuwen sincerely requested: "Uncle, can you take me to her house? This matter is really important to me..."

At Xu Xiuwen's insistence.

The uncle finally gave Xu Xiuwen the way.

Du Qingling's house happened to be in the six-story building that Xu Xiuwen passed by just now.

Her home is on the third floor, 301.

Xu Xiuwen parked the car and hurried upstairs.

The corridor is very crowded and narrow.

The steel bars of the stair handrails were all rusty.

The lighting in the corridor was poor, and there was an unpleasant smell in the air.

Xu Xiuwen quickly rushed to the door of 301.

He was about to knock on the door.

Suddenly he thought of what the uncle reminded him before they left.

The uncle said that Du Qingling's father had a bad temper and it was best not to provoke him.

And that distress text message he received.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind instantly.

So he didn't knock on the door in a hurry.

But observe first.

Soon, Xu Xiuwen discovered something.

That is, the window of the corridor on the third floor and the window of Room 301, I don’t know whether it is the kitchen or the bathroom, are very close to each other.

Probably less than half a meter away.

He could have entered 301 through the window instead of the main entrance.

Xu Xiuwen hesitated for less than three seconds before deciding to enter the house through the window.

Xu Xiuwen first stuck his head out and took a look at the situation outside.

No one was seen.

This is also normal.

After all, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it's not yet 6 o'clock.

Xu Xiuwen climbed onto the windowsill carefully.

He firmly grasped the iron rod in the middle of the window with his hands, and then leaned out little by little.

Until he was completely facing the corridor, with his back to the sky outside.

Xu Xiuwen glanced left at the small window next door.

The small window was ajar, Xu Xiuwen stepped over and opened the window completely with his feet.

This step is dangerous.

But relying on his own agility.

Xu Xiuwen successfully stepped one foot onto the window sill of 301.

Xu Xiuwen opened his arms and tried his best to stretch his left hand towards the window.

Until he grabbed the upper edge of the window.

Finally, move your right hand and right foot over.

After spending some effort.

Xu Xiuwen successfully entered the house.

The room where this small window is located is a kitchen.

The kitchen was dirty and messy. The sink was filled with dishes and chopsticks, and there were some leftovers in it, which stank.

Xu Xiuwen felt very disgusted.

He carefully stepped down from the window sill.

The kitchen was so dark that the original floor could hardly be seen.

Xu Xiuwen didn't have time to think about why the kitchen was so messy.

He walked behind the kitchen door and listened to the sounds outside.

No movement was heard.

Then he carefully pushed the kitchen door open.

After the door opened, Xu Xiuwen took a quick glance.

There was no one in the living room.

Xu Xiuwen walked into the living room.

At this point, he noticed that the living room looked like a garbage dump.

Drinking beer bottles, cigarette butts, and a lot of other trash.

Just thrown on the ground in such a mess.

As a result, Xu Xiuwen had almost no place to start.

And there was a foul smell in the living room.

Xu Xiuwen wondered for a moment whether he had gone to the wrong place.

He went to Du Qingling's dormitory twice in total.

The bedroom was kept almost spotless by her.

It can be seen that Du Qingling is a girl who loves to be clean very much.

This place is dirty, messy and smelly. How could it be Du Qingling's house?
  But Xu Xiuwen did not leave hastily.

His eyes quickly locked on the two rooms.

Xu Xiuwen came to the door of the room on the left first.

He stood at the door and listened to what was going on inside.

A faint cry was heard.

Xu Xiuwen put his hand on the doorknob and opened it carefully.

After the door opens.

Xu Xiuwen quickly glanced inside.

The room was dimly lit.

But you can see that there is a man lying on the bed.

The man was fast asleep at the moment.

Other than that, no one else was seen.

Xu Xiuwen immediately closed the door and came to the opposite room.

He put his hand on the doorknob.

I pressed lightly, but found that the door would not open.

It's like it's locked.

Xu Xiuwen had no choice but to turn around again and open the door of the man's room.

He glanced inside.

See the man sleeping soundly.

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Xiuwen walked in gently.

The room was messy and dirty.

As soon as Xu Xiuwen came in, he accidentally guessed a wine bottle and almost fell down.

Fortunately, he stabilized his body in time and did not make a particularly loud noise.

Xu Xiuwen looked carefully in the room.

Suddenly I saw a set of keys on the bedside table away from the door.

Xu Xiuwen was overjoyed when he saw this.

He tiptoed over.

During this period, he kept looking at the man sleeping on the bed.

Afraid that the other person would wake up.

Fortunately, such a bloody thing did not happen.

Xu Xiuwen successfully got the key and exited the room smoothly.

After closing the door.

Xu Xiuwen took the key and came to the door of the room on the right.

He compared it and tried to open the door.

He's lucky.

The first key is right.

There was a click.

The door opened.

Xu Xiuwen gently opened the door.

After the door opened, Xu Xiuwen saw a scene that shocked him.

A girl lay curled up on the bed.

There wasn't even a quilt covering him.

The girl's left hand was tied to the bedside by a chain.

Illegal imprisonment?

Xu Xiuwen's mind suddenly flashed through many plots that could only be found in movies.

He quickly turned on the light and walked to the bed.

At this moment, he finally saw clearly the appearance of the girl on the bed.

Who is it if it’s not Du Qingling?

Xu Xiuwen didn't expect to see Du Qingling again.

It will be this way.

Du Qingling was chained to the bedside.

No need to ask, it must have been done by the man sleeping next door.

Who is the other party?

Du Qingling's father?
  Why did he do this?
  Xu Xiuwen suddenly thought of his previous time in Jinling.

He told Du Qingling to go home and take a look.

Du Qingling's attitude was very resistant at that time.

He didn't think much of it at the time.

Looking back now, Du Qingling's voice seemed to be trembling at that time.

This made Xu Xiuwen feel heavy instantly...
