The modern fortune-telling history of a small shopkeeper

Chapter 342, looking for someone

"I can't see it." Qiao Mingshan shook his head, and Qiao Mingyong was justifying himself.

Of course Qiao Mingshan knew whether my younger brother was working seriously every day, but he also knew whether this kid was fishing sometimes.

The brothers Qiao Mingshan and Qiao Mingyong all knew Zhou Xing and knew that Zhou Xing was a good classmate of their cousin, but they always thought that Zhou Xing was a child whose family might have some money, but they didn't know the specific situation of Zhou Xing's family , I don't even know who his parents' names are.

So the recent news about Zhou's bankruptcy, they didn't connect such a big news with people they might know around them, they just listened to it as a piece of gossip.

On the contrary, when Qiao Minglang heard the words of Zhou and bankruptcy, he felt a little bad. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter might have something to do with Zhou Xing, and he was eager to find out what it was. What's going on, I want to find that person.

Right now he couldn't sit still in the store, and told his two cousins ​​and sister-in-law that he had something to go out for.

"Hey, Mingming, where are you going? Come back for dinner tonight, don't go too long." Qiao Mingshan saw that his cousin was going out as soon as he came back. He didn't know what he was going to do, but he also He didn't stop his cousin from going, but said: "You come back to sleep at my brother's place at night, we still have an empty room there, I will go back later and ask your sister-in-law to clean it up for you."

"Okay, I'll be back later, so you don't have to wait for me to have dinner together." Qiao Minglang was in a hurry to go out, he didn't know what time he would be back at night, so he didn't let everyone wait for him to eat together.

Seeing his cousin rushing out with a bag on his back, Chen Mingzhu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where is this kid going in such a hurry?"

"I don't know either. Minglang didn't say anything. Maybe he said he had something to do." Qiao Mingshan couldn't stop him either. The children in the family grew up, and he couldn't treat his cousin like he did when he was a child.

But when my cousin was young, he didn't hang around behind their cousins. When he grew up, he got good grades in school, and he wasn't close to them. He was always used by his parents to talk about them. Planting other people's children, the kind that looks good in everything you see...

In the past, the relationship between these cousins ​​was not as good as it is now. In the past, each family only cared about their own life.It was later that several of their families started business together. He and his little cousin came to the city to open a joint store and do business together. They brought other younger brothers to come together. We spent a long time together, and the relationship between each other became stronger. Much better than ever.

Now thinking about some things in the past, he actually also wondered how their life would be if the little cousin hadn't pulled their family together to do business together.But what is certain is that their lives are definitely not as good as they are now.

Qiao Mingshan has always thought that this little cousin is capable, and it must be right to do business with him, and the fact proves this.

My cousin is slightly younger than them, and he is still studying now. They, as elder brothers, cannot help their younger brother with his studies, but in other things, they should try their best to do their best, and don't let the cousin share so much. Pay more attention to these trivial things.

I don't know what the little cousin was doing when he came back suddenly, so he left in such a hurry.

Hey, what were they talking about just now?It seems to be that some company closed down and people died. Qiao Mingshan is not very clear about this matter, thinking to ask others later to see if they know what is going on.

***

Coming out of the shop, Qiao Minglang thought of a place, stopped a car by the side of the road, got in the car and gave an address.

After half an hour, the car arrived at the gate of the community. He got out of the car and walked in.

If Zhou Xing comes back, he thinks that person should come back here.

They lived here before, Qiao Minglang remembered the building number, found the apartment building, and then took the elevator up.

Standing in front of the apartment door, he had the key given by Zhou Xing in his hand, he hesitated for a moment, and opened the apartment door with the key in his hand.

The things in the house did not seem to have changed from when they left. The sofa in the living room was covered with a white cloth, and a thin layer of ash fell on it.They went to the capital for more than three months and never came back to live.

"Could it be that Zhou Xing really hasn't come back here?" Qiao Minglang was a little puzzled and murmured to himself.

But when he saw a few extra boxes in the house, he was sure that Zhou Xing had come back here.

He went around the house, looked inside and out, and found no trace of the man living in the house.He guessed that Zhou Xing should have come back here, but he had never lived in this house.

The box was sealed, so he went to the kitchen to find a knife, opened the box and took a look, and saw that there were clothes and sundries inside.When seeing these things, Qiao Minglang's eyes became even more puzzled, "Why put the clothes here?" Where did these things come from?

Then there is a very high possibility that these things were all moved from Zhou Xing's original home.

He didn't find the adhesive tape to sew the opened box back, so he left it in the house like that.

Zhou Xing's boxing fists were still casually thrown on the table. He still remembered the day before they left, that person was still practicing boxing in this house.Looking at the sandbag hanging in the room, he stretched out his hand and pushed it, remembering that the person taught him how to punch, but after learning for so long, he still didn't learn it very well.

After closing and locking the door of the house, Qiao Minglang came out of the building.

He took out the mobile phone in his pocket and called the man, but there was still a female voice on the other end of the phone, but the man still didn't turn on the phone.

Standing in front of the building, he didn't know where to find that person right now.

Knowing that Zhou Xing has come back here, but he is not here, he can only go from here first, to see where he can be found in the next place.

On this day, he drove around many places in the car. Qiao Minglang returned to the school they were studying at before. The school was already on holiday at this time, and the students and teachers had all gone back. The gate of the school was closed.

Then he went to the Zhou's mansion, found the Zhou family's mansion, stood at the door of the mansion and looked inside. The gate was closed, and there seemed to be no one inside, so he had no choice but to drive away again.

……

He just searched for a long time, until the sky outside gradually darkened, and he couldn't find the person he was looking for.

After going to the capital and returning, I realized that once it was dark in Jiangcheng, there were not so many cars and pedestrians on the road outside, and the city was not as prosperous and lively as the capital.

Seeing that no one could be found, Qiao Minglang had no choice but to take the car back to where his cousins ​​lived, so as not to make his cousins ​​worry about him.

His cousin and sister-in-law are still living in the newly rented yard. The opposite is the house that he and Zhou Xing rented for more than two years. Seeing that the gate of the yard is closed, I don’t know if the house is newly rented. Go out, there are other people living in it.

Hearing the knock on the door, Qiao Mingshan went out and opened the door, saw his cousin standing outside, and said, "I guessed that you should be back."

"Why have you been here for so long? Have you finished everything?" Seeing that his cousin was in a daze when he came back, and his face didn't look right, Qiao Mingshan led his cousin into the door, and asked worriedly. Said: "Did something happen? Where have you been all this time?"

"It's nothing, I'm fine." Qiao Minglang felt a little tired, and asked his cousin where he lived.

"Live here, I'll take you there." Qiao Mingshan led his cousin to the next room. This small room was for a child. Now that the child was taken back to the countryside by his mother, the house was vacant.

Pushing open the door, Qiao Mingshan pressed the lamp on the wall, and the lights in the room turned on, and the sheets and quilts on the bed were already made. He said, "Just now your sister-in-law came to make the bed for you, so you can sleep at night." This room."

"If you don't have enough quilts, I'll get you another one."

"That's enough, you don't need to take it anymore." Qiao Minglang sat down on the chair beside the bed, reached out to touch the quilt, there was a quilt on the bed, and there were two more on it.

"Have you eaten yet? Do you want me to serve you a bowl of noodles?" Qiao Mingshan asked not too relieved.

"After eating, brother, you go to bed, I can come here by myself." Qiao Minglang actually didn't eat, but right now he doesn't have any appetite and doesn't really want to eat.

Qiao Mingshan said yes, and went out, but after a while, he came over with a bowl of noodles in his hand, pushed open the door and went in, and saw his cousin lying on the quilt, he shouted: "Get up and eat noodles, I cooked a bowl of egg noodles for you."

"Cousin, why are you still cooking noodles for me?" Hearing the sound of the door opening, Qiao Minglang sat up from the bed, and saw his cousin coming in with a big bowl of noodles.

"Thinking that you probably haven't eaten, your child has never lied since he was a child."

"Okay, I'll put the noodles here, and you can eat by yourself. Just put the rice in the kitchen after you finish eating, and wash it tomorrow. There is a water heater in the bathroom. If you want hot water, you can use it." That's enough." Seeing that his cousin didn't want to tell him what he did today, Qiao Mingshan didn't ask any more questions, and put the bowl in his hand on the table, and let his cousin eat noodles by himself.

"I put a towel and toothpaste and toothbrush on the table for you. You can use it yourself later. I'm going to bed."

It's getting late now, and he's going to bed. They're going to work very early tomorrow, so they can't go to bed early. If it wasn't for waiting for someone to come back today, he would have already gone to bed.

"Okay, cousin, you go to bed, don't worry about me, I'll do it myself." Qiao Minglang got up and sent his cousin out, watched his cousin go to the opposite room, and heard that the other room There was a voice of talking, and he knew that his cousin and sister-in-law were talking.

The lights in the other room had already been turned off, presumably his second cousin and sister-in-law had already fallen asleep.

After eating a bowl of noodles, he took the bowl to the kitchen to wash it, put it on the counter, and then Qiao Minglang turned off the kitchen light and came out.Then he took a shower in the bathroom, brushed his teeth and washed his face, and went back to the room where he slept.

He lay in bed at night and slept for a long time without being able to fall asleep. Until the next day before dawn, he heard the sound of the door opening outside, and he opened his eyes.
