So not much attention was paid to him.

Right now, the alleyway, which is not a famous place or a net attraction, is surrounded by a lot of people. Many people holding up their cell phones are gabbing.

And just recently, Qingcheng Xie returned to Moyu Lane.

Qingcheng Xie was returning by taxi.

--

He woke up late because he and Yu He had gone crazy for too long yesterday, and with the subsequent payment quarrel, it was dark by the time he got back to Moyu Lane, and normally, everyone would have been home for dinner by this time.

However, this is not the case at the Moyu Lane entrance.

Qingcheng Xie hit the neighborhood when he found a lot of police standing at the entrance of the alley, the police are holding up some of the people who are taking pictures and videos with their cell phones outside.

"The car will have to stop here." The driver looked in front of a one-way street, so said.

"Then stop here, please."

Qingcheng Xie settled the bill and just as his long legs stepped out of the taxi, a blinding white light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. He thought for a moment that his body was too uncomfortable, blurry-eyed, and then realized that the onlookers who were stopped by the police were taking pictures and videos of him. The show, do not know also think what star came.

"That's him!"

" Qingcheng Xie , can you answer what the Canton Tower murder case has to do with you?"

"Why was your video placed by criminals/criminals? Why did they put yours instead of others'? Are you connected to Chengkang Mental Hospital?"

"The internet says you were also involved in the planning of the house arrest and molestation of mentally ill women, why aren't you going to clarify that?"

"Qingcheng Xie, why do you insult Professor Ciyan Qin? He is a national warrior! You have no conscience! You can still be a doctor and a teacher! Go to jail soon!!!"

Qingcheng Xie came to know about the situation, because of the case of Shanghai University Radio Tower, their family is now standing in the limelight of the unlucky ghost. Some people spread the address of Qingcheng Xie's house on the Internet, so the small netizens who made the video, as well as simple-minded passers-by, all started to flock to Moyu Lane like piranhas that smell blood.

Not to mention his house was splashed with paint, even the neighbors were also involved.

Aunt Lai rushed out to argue with them, only to have the video taken and posted online, saying that this is Qingcheng Xie's mother, a shrew spilling her guts.

Xue Xie was said to be even more outrageous and was directly identified as Qingcheng Xie's young wife, a mistress.

The person who sent the video thus earned a lot of traffic.

Later Xue Xie cried and called the police, the police came, Man Chen also came, drove these people to the alley outside, a few of the powerful noise directly by Man Chen sent to the police station to drink tea.

Others saw the situation, although they did not dare to throw paint to disturb the people, but there are still many gathered at the entrance of the alley refused to disperse, they know Qingcheng Xie will definitely go home, see, this is not back?

"Shoot him!"

" Qingcheng Xie , you look at the camera."

"......"

Look at your mom.

Qingcheng Xie simply ignore them, but also really big brother out like throwing on the car door with a sullen face on the police cordon to go inside. Huzhou's small broken cab, hard by him to bring out the supercar of the big brother of the black / road frame.

"Brother! Brother!!!"

The alley is quiet, Xue Xie sitting on a small stool in front of the house, as soon as he saw Qingcheng Xie, he flew over, more than ninety pounds of weight attached to the acceleration, Qingcheng Xie's already painful waist was almost broken by her, backed up two steps.

This is the usual, her big brother can casually catch her with one hand, and even hold her in place for several turns, now Qingcheng Xie even this lunge can not bear, Xue Xie froze a moment, raised red eyes: "Brother, what happened to you? Are you not feeling well?"

"...... is fine." Qingcheng Xie coughed lightly, "Didn't stand still."

Man Chen also came over, "Brother Xie."

The neighbors were all in the yard, uncles and aunts, shaking fans and chasing flies, and when they saw Qingcheng Xie coming back, they all looked at him.

No one said anything.

Aunt Lai was sitting under the old camphor tree in her flowered pajamas wiping her tears, a pair of old slippers were worn backwards and slipped on her feet.

Qingcheng Xie hugged Xue Xie, soothingly patting the girl's head and back in her arms, looking around - because of the influx of netizens who had previously made videos, the alley, which had never been dilapidated but was quiet and elegant, was made a mess, the flower pots of Uncle Liu's house were smashed, Aunt Zhao's fence was lifted, and even next door Wang The doghouse of the huskies raised by the son of the elder sister was squeezed into a pile of rotten wood.

The dog was standing by, probably still not slowed down, it thought it was not the king of demolition? How can these people be even more animal than it, demolishing its doghouse?

More eye-catching is the Xie family, along with the surrounding two walls of windows and doors, the top was splashed with blood like paint, there are people with scarlet spray paint to write a few distorted and shocking "roll" word.

Qingcheng Xie's psychological quality is really good, faced with such a scenario, but also not broken, he did not even suffer too much shock - also, last night's events have been experienced, now what else can stimulate him.

He just felt sorry for having dragged others into it, and after a long silence, he turned back to the neighbors in the courtyard who had not said a word, and said, "...... Sorry. I'm sorry to disturb you."

The evening breeze rustled through the courtyard, blowing past the loquat trees, the ivy, and the old aunt and uncle's nightgown and pajamas.

After a while -

"Xiao Xie ah ......"

Grandma Zhang spoke up.

Qingcheng Xie did not respond, he thought it was called Xue Xie it. He has not been called Xie by the neighbors for many years, people think he is cold and powerful, they call him Professor Xie Xie doctor.

Xiao Xie is still the name they used only when he was studying.

It wasn't until Grandma Zhang came over trembling, reaching out her old bark-like hand and clutching his arm, that he realized it was actually him she was calling out to.

"That, Xiao Xie ah, you do not be afraid of ah ...... we all put the phone inside the house, who did not take it on the body, no one here will shoot you to harm you ......"

Qingcheng Xie was stunned.

Only now did he see some worried tears in Zhang grandmother's cloudy old eyes.

"It's okay good boy, go home and get a good night's sleep, there are police outside, they can't get in, the yard we will clean ...... don't think so much, it's okay, it's okay."

"Yeah, Shay, it's okay."

"That are a bunch of ghosts in human skin, you do not put those netizens too at ease."

"Yeah, and I've had this fence for more than a decade, so it's just as well to get a new one if you break it."

"Thank you brother, my kennel can also be replaced with a large doghouse, this is still ahow bought when he was a child, it is now sleeping too crowded."

Qingcheng Xie just outside quite numb, nothing to feel, verbal violence for him is the most indifferent thing, but dust floating crumbs, do not need to mind, he did not even bother to share a look to each other, as long as it does not hurt people.

But at this moment, he looked at these old neighbors who had been together for more than 20 years, and suddenly felt something break open in his heart, hot, but also dull pain.

"...... I'm really sorry to have disturbed you guys to this point."

He didn't know what to say, especially when he saw the one white orchid raised in the courtyard by Uncle Liu's family was also trampled, and the pavilion like a covered flowering tree fell between the messy mud and broken pottery.

His heart also felt like it had been cut by the fragments of the pottery pots, looking at the already hunched figure of Master Uncle Liu: "...... This is still what Aunt Sun used to plant."

Aunt Sun is the old companion of Master Uncle Liu, had lung cancer, went a few years earlier, she liked the white orchid most when she was alive, this one was planted by her own hands more than twenty years ago, when she was still a big sister with a loud voice. ...... Master Uncle Liu is also a big uncle with a strong body.

Twenty years of wind and rain have not broken the flowering tree, but in this evening the influx of people trampled under the crowd, was stopped and broken the trunk.

Uncle Liu looked at the trunk of the tree in the annual cycle out of focus, each round is like the shadow of the past good years, is her smile ripples.

Qingcheng Xie is a tough guy, but this time, after he was silent for a long time, his voice was still suppressed and a little hoarse: "...... Uncle, I'm sorry."

"...... ah ah, it's okay ah, Xiao Xie." After a long time, Uncle Liu froze back, he walked over with his crutches and patted Qingcheng Xie's back, just like the uncle who worked in the steel mill when he was a kid, patting the teenager with his big, pagoda-like hands.

"It's okay, it's a tree, people are fine, people are fine. Trees ...... trees can ...... be planted again well ......"

But the old man said here, could not help but look down and wipe the tears.

Everyone knows that planting again is not that one tree, planting the tree people became the bones of the spring, the tree also eventually went with the fame.

Uncle Liu wiped his tears, wrinkled face, trying to primp a smile: "This tree was still you bought back from the flower and bird market for Wan Yun. Your parents helped her plant it, do you think I'm old and confused? I still remember it all."

"Yes, Xue Xiao, Ala has lived together for more than 20 years, what kind of person you are, what kind of person your parents are, Ala would not know? What do you say outside, you and Xue Xiao are still neighbors, you should be worried, you know? Quickly go inside and rest, wash up, look at you Chali a look."

"That is to say ah, go wash it, face so ugly, hey, Nong parents live to heartache ah heartache dead ......"

Xue Xie raised her head from Qingcheng Xie's arms, looked at everyone with tears in her eyes, could not hold back any longer, buried her head in her brother's arms once again, and let out a loud cry.

Qingcheng Xie thanked and apologized repeatedly, and finally took Xue Xie and the others back to the house.

Man Chen and Aunt Lai also entered their room.

From inside the house looking out, the paint spilled on the windows would look more like hideous dancing blood.

Qingcheng Xie : "......"

Man Chen : "Brother Xie, don't worry too much, these people are just like locusts crossing the border, they will pass in a flash, they are considered provocative, I asked my colleagues to find them properly one by one to settle accounts. These days Moyu Lane will be guarded by the police, there will be no more problems ......"

Qingcheng Xie coughed gently, he was already sore, and he had a fever, and now he was completely holding on, but the room was dark, so no one could see that he was obviously sick.

He knocked a cigarette out, wanted to light it, saw Aunt Lai, and put the lighter down.

"......"

"Brother, now what do we do ah ......"

"Xiao Xie, when the matter of Professor Qin, there is some kind of misunderstanding in the middle, right? You ...... you mentioned him several times before you came back over, are very respectful, you said those words ...... that must ...... that there must be some reason." Aunt Lai wiping tears, "Can you think of a way to explain? Ah? So that there are some people will no longer chase after you, difficult for you ......"

Qingcheng Xie : "......"

"Xiao Xie, say something."

Outside the house was a long, thick night.

A few of the closest people in the room were around.

Qingcheng Xie slightly trembling fingers unconsciously fiddling with the steel lighter, lit, the light went out again, lit, but the light went out again ......

Finally he threw the lighter aside and closed his eyes, his voice hoarse and tired, but firm and stubborn: "No."

"......"

"No one has wronged me, I am the one who said it, and it's all from my heart."

"I really didn't like the ridiculous things Ciyan Qin did. I had a change of heart at that time, and he and I were not on good terms. That's what I said on the spur of the moment, and I owe it to myself to think about it."

"......"

"But brother--"

"I'm not perfect, Xue Xie . Your brother was just a normal person, too, and would be scared and worried, and you were so young, and I watched him get killed, and there was no way I could stick around in the health care system anymore ...... I got scared and I left my job. That's how it happened."

A few moments of silence.

Xue Xie's voice is like a helpless kitten: "...... brother, you even with us, you can not tell the truth?"

Qingcheng Xie out of a long time God, eyes as if flashing through the ghosts of the past, he finally closed his eyes, lowered his head, hands together, against the brow, he whispered: "What I said, is the truth. I'm sorry ...... I've let you down."

The night's conversation ended with a long silence.

Qingcheng Xie is a very stubborn person, which is very clear to the three listeners in the room.

"There is 30,000 yuan in this card, Aunt Lai, you take it. We can't say that we won't pay for those things damaged by the neighbor's house. If it wasn't for this incident with me, they wouldn't have suffered this for no reason." Qingcheng Xie said, "I will find a way to deal with the rest of the situation, you are at home, do not run outside."

"Xiao Xie ......"

Qingcheng Xie's eyes are very similar to his mother's, the same peach blossom eyes as Muying Zhou, and the same hardness as Muying Zhou.

Aunt Lai's heart pumped again.

She is the abandoned child of Jizitang, when she was young, she worked as a sitter/stage girl in Huzhou nightclub, serving those towel old customers, others say she is a pants/crotch stinky whore/child, Muying Zhou interrogated this woman in the task of fighting pornography and illegality.

Miaoqing Li was not convinced by anyone at that time, took a cigarette from the police, sat in the interrogation room, refused to explain a word.

She said I am a stinking pants / crotch of the bitch / child, what, you arrested me, I go back to sell, you want to control!

Muying Zhou said, "Miaoqing Li, you are only 17 years old. I don't want to send you in, that place you go in, come out your whole life will be stained with ink.

I know you don't have parents, you don't have a family, this is my business card, this is our office phone number, this, is my home phone, private.

If you have something you call me. I'm not just a cop, I'm also a woman and a mother. I don't want to see a girl who is not even a teenager go down this road.

You can call me Muying, no need to call me Officer Zhou.

I can help you, you don't have to be afraid.

At that time, it was that pair of peachy eyes that looked over at her in the interrogation room.

Miaoqing Li felt like the body of the earthquake, the source of the earthquake is the heart has long been a thousand holes.

She later became one of Muying Zhou's triad of friends.

The relationship is very stable, Muying Zhou has always taken care of this lost/footed girl, taking pity on her on New Year's Day and letting her come to her house for dinner, never looking down on her.

When Muying Zhou and Ping Xie were down and out and couldn't find a suitable place to live, Miaoqing Li found them a second home deal on Moyu Lane, where he lived, and thus became their neighbors.

She made cheongsams and worked as a tailor, sewing one gorgeous robe after another for Muying Zhou.

Now Miaoqing Li has two sideburns, Muying Zhou is the bone under the spring.

The last cheongsam she made for Zhou's sister was Muying Zhou's birthday dress, a beautiful brocade, and she deliberately sewed long sleeves to cover Muying Zhou's broken arm.

Because Miaoqing Li knows that Officer Zhou is not only a police officer, she is also a woman, a mother and a wife.

She is beauty loving.

She is the most beautiful ...... has such a pair of firm, bright eyes.

These eyes now seem to be looking at Miaoqing Li, whose face is already wrinkled, through the years.

Qingcheng Xie: "After so many things, this is really nothing to me."

Miaoqing Li a sigh, finally nothing more to say.

Qingcheng Xie settles the woman and the girl to rest.

It started to rain outside.

The night is deeper.

Qingcheng Xie put on an autumn coat and took two umbrellas, one of which he handed to Man Chen.

"Go back early."

"...... brother, you are not staying here tonight?" Man Chen was a little surprised, he thought that according to Qingcheng Xie's character, today is sure to accompany Xue Xie.

But Qingcheng Xie just couldn't hold out any longer.

His forehead is burning like fire, his body is weak, not to mention the untold pain and numbness somewhere.

If Man Chen had been more careful, he would have noticed that Qingcheng Xie hadn't sat down much tonight.

"Don't live anymore. There's something going on at school and I have to go back to the dorm first."

"Then I'll send you ......"

Qingcheng Xie pushed open the door and a coolness of autumn rain blew in from outside.

"No need." He palmed the large black carbon handle umbrella, wrapped his autumn model trench coat tighter and walked into the dark, dreary night.

He didn't have the means to disguise himself for much longer, he could feel his back already seeping with cold sweat, hot flashes coming up in burst after burst, his face was hot, his eyes dizzy, half of his divine sense seemed to have been pulled out of his flesh/body alive.

Man Chen : "Then you ......"

"Let's go. It's been a hard day for you. You go home early too."

When he got outside the alley, it was already 2:00 a.m., and there were people waiting outside in the rain, Qingcheng Xie admired their perseverance. He called a cab inside the cordon, and when the car came, he put away his umbrella and got into the taxi, shutting out the explosion of noise and flashing lights.

He couldn't hold it up once he got in the car, leaned back in the back seat exhaustedly and raised his hand to close his eyes: "......"

Taxi driver: "Brother, where are you going?"

"......"

"Big brother?"

The other party called out a second time before Qingcheng Xie got over the feverish blur.

He knew he should have actually gone to the hospital.

But he didn't want to go at all. What should he tell the doctor if he went?

What happened in the small room of the clubhouse, with his pride and ruthlessness, he preferred to knock down his teeth and swallow his blood, he preferred to take it to his grave. How would he explain the fever to the doctor?

He is a doctor himself.

Go back and take some anti-inflammatory drugs even.

With this in mind, Qingcheng Xie replaced the hospital between his lips with, "Shanghai Medical Faculty Dormitory Building, trouble."

The cabs left in the dust.

Qingcheng Xie did not see Man Chen standing among the noisy crowd, standing for a long time, the small police officer frowned worriedly, and finally turned back first back inside Moyu Lane, followed out again after a while.

He didn't even see Yu He sitting behind the glass window in the 24h convenience store across the street, sipping a cup of coffee.

And then Yu He threw the coffee away, squeezed the brim of his hat and walked out of the convenience store.
