"Then I'll study science too!"

The girl raised her hands and moved a little closer.

"Really? It takes a lot of effort for girls to study science."

"it's okay no problem."

The girl waved her hand.

"For me, arts and science are the same. Basically, it doesn't matter which subject I choose."

She raised her nose with some pride, and then was hit on the head by Xia Xiu.

"Woo woo woo (┯_┯)"

"Study hard."

Xia Xiu spread out the textbook and explained some basic knowledge points to the girl.

The breeze caressed their hair and beards, and then disappeared into the empty flowers, trees, lotus pond and the chirping of cicadas.

It seems that such a leisurely life is not bad.

Chapter 190 The beginning of anxiety

After happily finishing a day of teaching, Xia Xiu declined Fan Yanke's request to come to his house for free food and drinks and chose to go home.

It is better for girls to go home more often to spend time with their parents.

Xia Xiu gentlemanly sent the girl to the downstairs of her house. In the face of Fan Yanke's reluctant gaze, he happily waved his hand, signaling her to hurry up.

"Well, don't forget to go to the water park together tomorrow!"

The girl reluctantly went upstairs, while Xia Xiu stood in the corridor near the stairs for a long time.

There were advertisements of all sizes posted on the wall, which were no different from what he saw last time, except for a few new services. The debt collection advertisement that he had torn off before suddenly appeared on it again, and the name of that silly girl Fan Yanke was written particularly clearly in black and white.

Xia Xiu stood there and thought about it. Since she was unwilling to tell him, it meant that there was no problem for the time being, right?

He tore off the debt collection advertisement about the girl, then turned and left in the sun.

On the way back, he deliberately passed by the clinic near the school, which was the same clinic he had taken Jiang Chuchu to when she had a fever.

I stood at the door for a while, but finally decided to go in.

As soon as I entered, there was a very young-looking doctor sitting at the counter in the outpatient department. It didn't seem like the old man who knew him was doing the consultation.

"Feeling uncomfortable there?"

The doctor looked up and asked Xia Xiu, then continued to pack up the things in his hands.

"I'm here to buy some medicine for my family."

"what type is it?"

"Medicines for preventing trauma, colds and fevers, etc."

After hearing Xia Xiu's request, the doctor quickly wrote down some medicines on a piece of paper, handed it to Xia Xiu, and spoke very straightforwardly.

"Go get your medicine from the pharmacy next door."

Xia Xiu held the prescription in his hand, but this was not the purpose of his coming here.

"Excuse me, are you hiring new doctors here recently?"

The doctor looked at Xia Xiu in surprise after hearing this, then spoke impatiently.

"Of course I would recruit you, but I definitely won't hire a brat like you. Ordinary handymen won't hire someone your age, so don't waste your energy."

Obviously, he thought Xia Xiu was a student looking for a part-time job, so he immediately shut up and gave up the desire to chat with him.

Xia Xiu had no choice but to go to the pharmacy next door to pay for the medicine, and then walked home with a bag of medicine. Anyway, Xia Xiu had achieved his goal.

He took one last look back at the clinic and subconsciously looked around for anyone, but unfortunately, he didn't see anyone.

Well, it's all just speculation after all.

However, it is better to always have some medicines at home, because because of Xia Xiu's fever last time, the stock of medicines at home has been exhausted.

I bought some vegetables at the supermarket and prepared to go home and make dinner for the child. I haven't been home for a day, and I don't know if Jiang Chuchu will make a fuss.

"I am back."

Ever since Jiang Chuchu came along, Xia Xiu had a faint sense of anticipation hidden in his heart every time he said this.

But unexpectedly, Xia Xiu did not hear the child's cute "Welcome home" voice this time, which made his heart skip a beat.

Nothing will happen, right?

He picked up the Holy Sword of Physics hidden in the shoe cabinet. He had not thrown it away since Xia Xiu brought it back last time, and had kept it there in case of any special circumstances.

Then he heard a clattering sound coming from the kitchen. Xia Xiu walked over and saw a small voice standing on a stool busying itself.

Xia Xiu put away the crowbar and moved forward curiously.

"What are you doing."

His sudden voice frightened the girl so much that she trembled suddenly and accidentally fell off the stool and fell into Xia Xiu's arms.

Xia Xiu's broad body caught Jiang Chuchu's small body, but the girl's face seemed to have turned into a little cat, and the black soot from the pot was rubbed on the girl's face, hands and clothes.

"It's very dangerous to do this. Is there anything that can't be done after I come back?"

Xia Xiu put out the flames and turned off the gas stove.

"I want to make dinner, but Chuchu, it's useless."

The girl lowered her head in frustration, because the meat in the pot had already turned into a piece of black charcoal. It seemed that she didn't control the heat well and it had already burnt.

"It's okay. Things won't go as planned the first time. It will get better slowly."

Xia Xiu rubbed the child's head and comforted him. Adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, he threw the piece of meat that was as black as coal to the adopted Xiu Dog. The latter did not despise it. After taking a bite, he looked up at Xia Xiu with resentment and then ran away.

Well, the cute Xiu dog can eat anything.

"Let me do these things!"

Xia Xiu smiled and put Jiang Chuchu aside, then rolled up his sleeves and cleaned up the mess in the kitchen.

"Well, come on!"

The girl cheered Xia Xiu up, and then seemed to remember something.

"Welcome back."

Xia Xiu smiled gently and asked her to go to the living room to watch TV.

The girl, who had nothing to do, ran to the sofa, picked up a diary and started reading.

These were the items she had obtained during her explorations in the house during the day. A very vicious woman had finally left the house, and she could now explore the house openly.

The whole house was like a huge treasure trove. She could discover many interesting or strange items. This diary was found by her in the utility room.

This diary was sandwiched between a pile of books, including some junior high school textbooks with Xia Xiu's name written on them.

Being bored during the day, she naturally regarded these textbook treasures as a source of happiness, flipping through them one by one with great interest, looking at Xia Xiu's crooked handwriting, the interesting and cute Q-version drawings, and some strange and second-year quotes.

Then she found the diary with Xia Xiu's name written on it. The notebook was thick and obviously recorded many memories of the owner.

She carefully kept the diary with her, intending to appreciate it slowly in the future, but she did not dare to let Xia Xiu know. After all, peeking at something was a bad character and would disgust him.

However, the girl's little eyes revealed a big puzzlement. Why didn't he write a diary now?

"time to eat!"

Xia Xiu's call made Jiang Chuchu hurriedly hide the diary under the sofa, and then sat down at the dining table obediently.

She said politely, looking at the sumptuous food on the table.

"I'm gonna start now!"

Xia Xiu turned on the TV and listened to the news while eating.

"According to the city's news report, a malicious wounding incident occurred in the city today. A seven-year-old girl was found in the countryside in the evening. When she was found, the victim's eyes were cruelly gouged out, and the blood stained the bandage on her head. The suspect has not been found yet. The city's news will continue to follow up and report for you."

Xia Xiu's chopsticks fell on the table involuntarily.

Chapter 191 It's Okay

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Chuchu looked at Xia Xiu with surprise as he put down his chopsticks and stopped eating, and couldn't help but pull Xia Xiu's sleeve worriedly.

"It's okay, I'm not hungry yet, you eat first."

Xia Xiu smiled, but it was a bit forced.

He continued to stare at the news report on TV in a daze. Although the news did not release specific names and photos in order to protect the victim, the little girl, Xia Xiu had a bad feeling in his heart, and this premonition became stronger as time passed.

He opened his cell phone and searched for details of the local news, which contained the basic information of the victim, the little girl: He Qianying, a new student in Class 2, Grade 1 of Huacheng Primary School.

The case happened today in the daytime, at the shopping street on Xinjie. At that time, the victim's family of three were shopping leisurely on the shopping street, and the victim's parents suddenly found that their daughter was missing. Although they immediately decided to go back to look for her, they could not find her due to the huge flow of people, so they asked for help from the local police station. Although the police station accompanied the parents to look for a long time, they still could not find her whereabouts, and it was almost evening.

There are many possibilities when a young child goes missing. They may have fallen asleep on a bench, been taken in by a kind store owner, or been kidnapped and sold. The victim's parents have kept their cell phones turned on, but have not received any calls from kind-hearted people who know their daughter's whereabouts.

They had no choice but to wander around the streets one by one. Late at night, they received a call from the police saying that Sakura was found on a bench in a park. Several students who were singing karaoke at night happened to find Sakura lying unconscious on the bench on their way to the toilet in the park. Her face was wrapped in a white bandage, and blood was seeping through the bandage. The students at the scene were instantly terrified and called the police immediately. Although Sakura was not in danger of life, her eyes had been dug out, and the two empty eye sockets looked particularly creepy.

A strange emotion mixed with the secretion of saliva surged into Xia Xiu's heart, lingering in his heart for a long time without dissipating.

I have lost my appetite for the table full of dishes.

The incident happened during the day today, and Xia Xiu and his friends met Xiaoying in the morning. In other words, she encountered an accident and misfortune just a short while after they parted. The park where Xiaoying was found was also the park where Xia Xiu and his friends spent the whole day helping Fan Yanke with her lessons.

He walked into the room alone. Jiang Chuchu looked at Xia Xiu's back with a worried look on her face, not knowing what had happened.

Xia Xiu lay on the bed, picked up his phone, thought for a while, and sent a message to Fan Yanke.

"Are you there?"

"In (.ò ? ó.)!"

I replied to the message immediately.

"Did you watch the news?"

After saying that, he sent a link to the news.

The atmosphere was silent for a while, and after a long time, the girl sent a message.

"The girl who was killed was Sakura..."

"That is to say, after you separated from us..."

"This is not your responsibility, Xia Xiu!"

The girl suddenly said this. Xia Xiu lay on the bed, recalling the cute face of the little girl during the day. She was a very good child and would surely have a bright future.

As if she had noticed Xia Xiu's mood, the girl started typing again.

"Don't think too much, Xia Xiu. This is not your fault. If you want to blame someone, you should blame that damned criminal. Xia Xiu, you and Xiaoying just met by chance after all. We have done everything we can."

The girl comforted Xia Xiu. At this moment, she seemed to have turned into an older sister, gently trying to soothe Xia Xiu's emotions.

"I am fine."

Of course Xia Xiu was fine. He had said it from the beginning that he was not a good person and would naturally not be entangled by the so-called morality and sense of responsibility.

Life is unpredictable, which is something no one can predict. Life is often like this, giving you a surprise in an unexpected place.

He put down his phone and ended the chat with the girl.

Then he lay on the bed in a daze, while Jiang Chuchu stuck her head out of the door of the room, took off her little shoes, climbed onto Xia Xiu's bed, knelt beside him, and stroked his hair with her little hands.

"I am okay."

Xia Xiu smiled at the lovely Jiang Chuchu, and his smile was no different from his usual one.

"Have you finished your meal?"

The girl nodded obediently.
