After work, I rarely go home, and the number of times I go home after marriage is even more counted.
This time something temporary happened at home, I took a few days off and went back home to the county. When the train arrived in our city, surrounded by a blanket of white, I have not seen the snow for many years, I was a little excited, the heart is also open up. As a northerner, I love the feeling of being surrounded by snow. The cold air keeps me awake, and the white color that I can’t see at a glance makes me feel like I’m back in my teenage years.
From the city to our county to take a three-hour highway bus, I specifically picked a window seat, the whole time my eyes were staring out the window. Because of the snow on the ground, the car took 5 hours to enter our county border, and another half hour, the car hungry passengers and the driver proposed to eat something first, the car stopped at a township near a small restaurant.
I was not too hungry, got out of the car and smoked a cigarette, the harsh north wind and exhale the breath let me have a long-lost sense of satisfaction. I saw a fat middle-aged man riding an electric tricycle not far away, and the tricycle was full of coal.
I thought this man looked a bit familiar, but for a while could not remember who it was, and waited for him to pass me for a few minutes before it suddenly came to me: he was my chemistry teacher, Liu Bin.
Back in the car again, I was no longer in the mood to enjoy the snow, Liu Bin’s sudden appearance reminded me of a case that happened in this county more than ten years ago, involving people close to me.
When my thoughts were still immersed in the case, the driver said, “Here we are.
I took my luggage and got off the bus, and the sky was snowing again. The streets of the county are sparsely populated and silent, and the occasional sound makes the streets seem even colder. Only a few remaining dead leaves hanging in the branches, the north wind will blow and drift down into the air, forlornly falling on the snow-covered iron gray concrete pavement underfoot, there is a breathtaking bleakness.
The appearance of this small northern county has not changed in my impression, as if everything outside has nothing to do with it.

In the winter of his senior year, Liu Bin was suddenly transferred from our school to teach in a remote township.
After the college entrance examination notice came down, as the class representative of chemistry, I specifically went to Liu Bin to report the good news to him. My arrival made Liu Bin surprised and a little touched, so he kept me for dinner in the evening, and opened a bottle of white wine. I said I couldn’t drink, but he poured me a glass anyway.
That day is my first time to drink, just half a glass of a little dizzy, through the strength of the wine on the bold, asked him: “You in our county a good middle school, why did you come to this shitty place? And you and Chen Xue in the end what is going on?” –The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
Liu Bin poured himself another full cup, tilted his neck and drank it all, the glass heavy pier on the table, said no one knows how bitter his heart.
He was the first undergraduate student in the village, although on the general teacher training colleges, but the identity of the university undergraduate student still made his father proud for a long time. After graduating from college, he was assigned to a middle school in town, but many of his classmates in college were assigned to the county, and to the city. The gap between him and his classmates made him depressed for a long time, and he kept looking for various opportunities to move up, comforting himself by saying, “What others have, they will also have.
When he first entered society, he ran into walls everywhere and couldn’t find a way in until he met Gao Xiaoyan. Gao Xiaoyan is a nurse at the town health center, and her father is the principal of the town’s high school. The woman looks very average, with freckles, a little fat, the age is also four years older than Liu Bin, so the first time Liu Bin gave Gao Xiaoyan flowers, Gao Xiaoyan is still a little surprised. In the initial period of dating, Liu Bin picked up Gao Xiaoyan from her night shift every day, sent a rose every day, and mulled over a variety of compliments and sweet words every day.
Six months later, Liu Bin got married to Gao Xiaoyan, and two years later, their daughter was born, and not long after her birth, he used his father-in-law’s relationship to transfer into the county’s first middle school.
Liu Bin rambled for half a day, but these things are not what I want to hear, I repeated my question: “What about Chen Xue? Is it true, as they say, that you have fallen in love with Chen Xue?”
Liu Bin is also almost drunk that day, his eyes are a little lost, he said: some things did not happen before, feel pressed impossible to happen to them, but it happened.
Liu Bin and Chen Xue first contact with the origin of an examination. Chen Xue did not do well in the exam, Liu Bin called her to the office to explain the wrong questions, did not expect, the office of several male teachers with a bad smile, “this girl you do not have to be so attentive in the future”. This whole Liu Bin confused, after hearing that Chen Xue’s “life style is more casual”, junior year on the love and crazy pursuit of a 30-year-old man, and finally the man in front of his wife slapped her, hysterical shouting for her to roll – – this incident is not the local news. -This matter is no longer news in the local, and it is said that Chen Xue later had a social boyfriend.
Liu Bin took another small sip of wine and then told me, “I thought Chen Xue was just a little bit of a wanderer, I never thought she would have anything to do with herself.”
Liu Bin said he didn’t expect Chen Xue to confess his love for him after school one day, which made him panic, and he didn’t dare to look at Chen Xue for a few days to avoid eye contact with her. But one night in August, Chen Xue suddenly knocked on the door of Liu Bin’s dormitory, and after sitting awkwardly for a while, suddenly hugged him, “I didn’t think a little girl’s strength would be so strong, and I was shocked.
Liu Bin stopped speaking here, but I was still confused and asked, “You came to the county alone at that time, and your daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law were in town?”
“Yes, you do not understand now, but I am also a man ah, do not think they are strong-willed, to the critical time really can not ah!”
Liu Bin smiled badly at me, this smile made me disgusted, he has always been a good teacher in charge in my heart, but that little good impression are let this smile tossed away.
Liu Bin said that Chen Xue stayed in his dormitory that night, and he said he had some remorse in his heart after that night, but not remorse for having done something wrong, but fear of affecting his future. He then rented a house at the other end of the county, where he met privately with Chen Xue every Tuesday and Saturday.
The day of the accident was Saturday, Liu Bin said, that day from the afternoon, his heart was unusually irritable, because that afternoon Gao Xiaoyan with his daughter, suddenly appeared in front of his dormitory. The moment he saw the mother and daughter, Liu Bin was a little weak, Gao Xiaoyan did not say in advance, only to explain that the child missed her father and kept crying. At that moment, Liu Bin knew that the whispers of himself and Chen Xue had reached Gao Xiaoyan’s ears, and that his wife’s sudden attack was to spy on him.
From the afternoon to the evening, Gao Xiaoyan and Liu Bin do not leave each step, but also took the initiative to make dinner. Liu Bin thought to himself, even if there is forty minutes of free time, so he can go and talk to Chen Xue. His heart is unusually anxious, because at night Chen Xue still do not know to wait for himself to what time. In the anxiety, he heard the weather forecast: “Tonight there is a snowstorm, we hope that everyone travel to pay attention to the traffic conditions, pay attention to keep warm.”
Liu Bin spent a long night in the dormitory, got up early the next morning and said to Gao Xiaoyan, “Just after the snow the air is good, go for a walk.”
There were no people on the street yet, only a few store owners sweeping the snow in front of their doors, sweeping while exhaling into their hands.
Liu Bin came to the small courtyard of the rented house, found the lights on, walked into the house, astonished: Chen Xue was tied, the lower half of his body naked, eyes red and swollen and flowing tears. Liu Bin’s brain buzzed, a blank, immediately to Chen Xue untie, just to ask Chen Xue what happened, Chen Xue then slapped him in the face, and then began to cry.
From Chen Xue’s intermittent words, Liu Bin just know what happened last night.
Liu Bin did not go on, I did not ask again, so quiet for almost two minutes, Liu Bin then said, “According to say that the thing that night has nothing to do with me, but I just can not get over the heart, not long after the accident, I took the initiative to apply for transfer to this township, it is also considered atonement.”

The things to be done were soon done, and I was bored at home alone. My mother advised me to go out for a walk, but when I was really ready to go out for a walk, I realized that I hadn’t been home for years, and there was no one to talk to in this place where I had lived for so many years.
I suddenly remembered something and asked my mom, “Are Chen Xue’s parents still out of town?”
“Who?”
“Chen Xue, didn’t you and her mother both work at the maternal and child health station?”
Mother long tone “Oh” a: “Her father is not a thing, always looking for women outside, her mother always go to her father’s unit trouble, not moving to cry. Her mother later fell in love with a driver, it became her father to our unit trouble! Later the two divorced, the driver did not want her mother, her mother married abroad. Her father later always drink, was dismissed from the unit, and later heard to go to Beijing to work.”
“Are her parents still out of town?”
“Her father is still working in Beijing, since the death of her grandmother, people have not returned. Her mother is now in our county, married to a foreign life is not good, a few years ago and divorced, and now a person, in the next street in our unit family home living.”
I went out the door, the north wind outside blowing very tight, ears and hands are frozen, shoes squeaking on the snow. I want to go to Chen Xue’s mother’s house to see, she may not even remember me, as a child I always go to my mother’s unit, very fond of this aunt, because she always carries candy.
The moment I knocked on the door of Chen Xue’s mother’s room, I was a little nervous and wanted to escape, but the door soon opened and she didn’t look much different, just a little slightly older.
She looked at me with a bewildered expression, “Who are you looking for?”
After I introduced myself, she remembered me and enthusiastically took my hand to ask questions: “Time flies, when you were going to school with our Chen Xue, I always thought you were still young, but in a flash you are married with children.”
Her house is very clean, where all cleaned up very well, although living alone, you can see that she is a person who will live a life.
“By the way, is there any news from Chen Xue?”
I seem to have spoken to her sore spot, her face emerged a trace of embarrassment, head down a bit: “Hey, according to say I should also be the age of grandma, but …… your teacher is really not something, as a teacher how can seduce their female students? And that Li Yan, even more not something! And Wang Pengqiang, simply a beast ……”
Chen Xue’s mother cursed these names with the most vicious words, I could not bear to interrupt him, but did not want to echo. I raised, can we go to Chen Xue’s room to see?
Chen Xue’s mother said that her daughter’s room is still the same as it was before she “disappeared”, and after Chen Xue’s grandmother died, she moved in, not for any other reason, just in case her daughter suddenly came back one day. It’s not that she didn’t want to go out and look for her daughter, but she was afraid that no one would be home when Chen Xue came home.
She opened the door to Chen Xue’s room, but did not go in, probably because she was afraid of seeing things. There were several books by Jin Yong on the table in the room – I remember when most of the girls in our class liked Qiong Yao, only Chen Xue liked Jin Yong and asked me to borrow “The Divine Eagle and the Couple”.
There was a small blue notebook on the far side of the bookshelf, I picked it up, blew the ash on it, opened it and realized that it was Chen Xue’s diary, which was thick.
“April 11, 1995, Sunny. Mom told me she was leaving and I asked her where she was going. She said she was going somewhere far away. When she asked when she would be back, she said she wasn’t coming back. When I asked her why she was leaving, she said Dad was out looking for another woman. I couldn’t figure out what looking for a woman meant, I just knew Dad was a bad person.
“February 3, 1996, cloudy. Today dad told me he was leaving, asked why he was leaving, he said he was going to work overseas to earn money, asked when he would be back, he said he would be back on August 15 and Spring Festival.
“October 1, 1996, sunny. Today I asked Grandma if Dad was out looking for a woman. Grandma was furious, ‘Did your mother tell you that? What has she been doing behind your father’s back? This shameless woman is going to ruin your father before she leaves! I hate grandma, she always says bad things about mom.
……
“February 6, 2000, Snow. I don’t know what love is, but I feel like I’m in love with this man, although he’s 30 years old, although he’s married, I just can’t help thinking about him, I can’t help loving him, the weather is cold now, but he’s like a warm glove surrounding me, that feeling is like the feeling of my mom and dad hugging me on a rainy day when I was little, it’s soft and sweet.
“May 14, 2000, light rain. Why? Why did he treat me that way? I waited for him every day just to see him, and wrote to him just to let him understand my love for him, why did he have to be so cruel, every word he said was like a knife to my heart, and that slap knocked away my love for him. I hate him.
“September 20, 2001, sunny. Today after school to go home, met a few senior bad students bullying our class Wang Pengqiang, I lowered my head and tried to speed up to pass, I did not expect to be stopped by a guy, he also asked me which class, these rogue students, why the school does not care.
“November 28, 2001, clear. Nearby a few punks really is too unbecoming, why the school does not care, the police do not care, today a few guys drunk, but openly in front of the school to molest girls, today fortunately there is that senior boy, otherwise it will be trouble, I thanked when I recognized, he turned out to be the one who bullied our class Wang Pengqiang in front of the school some time ago, his name is Li Yan, really make people cry and laugh.
“March 3, 2002, sunny. I decided to accept Li Yan, I feel that he is very real and responsible, and I feel very solid with him.
“April 1, 2002, cloudy. I always feel that Wang Pengqiang looks at me a little strange, I can’t tell what kind of feeling, maybe because Li Yan beat him up, and now I am friends with Li Yan, I always want to apologize to him, but after thinking about it, what do I have to apologize to? I don’t care, it’s okay to have a clear conscience.
“July 29, 2002, Sunny. I can’t stand Li Yan anymore, he looks at me like a prisoner every day. Sometimes when I say hello to a male student on the road, he has to interrogate him for half a day, it’s too barbaric.
“September 1, 2002, clear. A new chemistry teacher in the class, called Liu Bin, people are very sunny, very humorous, today’s test did not do well, he called me to the office, I thought I would be criticized, did not expect, he was very patient to me explained the wrong questions, so like this teacher.
“November 6, 2002, cloudy. After school, Mr. Liu called me to his dormitory, I thought there was something, but I did not expect to just talk about college, choose a major and so on, I see the time is late, get up to leave when he suddenly hugged me, I was blinded, he actually hugged me to the bed, I respect the teacher would do this to me, but why I did not resist? What was I thinking? Why was I so weak?”
Seeing this I couldn’t stand it anymore and turned around and went out of Chen Xue’s room. Her mother wanted to keep me for dinner, but I thanked her for her kindness and left the door.
When she was leaving the house, her mother said, “In case Chen Xue suddenly contacts you classmates one day, remember to tell her that mom is waiting for her at home.”

The small town was so quiet that I wanted to go crazy.
A few children living nearby were having a snowball fight, and a few were building snowmen. There were not many people on the street, and the smell of food was already coming from the small restaurants along the street. I walked aimlessly through the streets of the county, not knowing where I was going, just not wanting to stop. I wanted to find someone to talk to, took out my cell phone, flipped through it and didn’t know who to call.
The next two days, I had a torturous time, there was nothing to do, just stay home and watch TV, read a book. The night before I left, I decided to meet Li Yan – Li Yan and my family hang some relatives, once in high school my school uniform was stolen by others, he finally helped me to get it back, and beat up the person who stole my school uniform, at that time I was very grateful to him.
Li Yan’s father was a butcher, killing pigs and sometimes dogs in the northern part of the county, because of his bad temper, no one worked with him, so he took an apprentice, but finally couldn’t stand the scolding and left. Li Yan from junior high school to help his father, his father did not allow, said that there are rules in this line, kill the dead to go to hell. But Li Yan see his father too tired, not to help kill, only to help bundle. By the time he was in high school, Li Yan bundled pigs and dogs with a lot more skill than the average pig killer.
I came to the county’s West Pass Li Yan opened that small restaurant, probably because of the weather these days, the store is not much people. I and Li Yan false courtesy for a few minutes, after half a bottle of wine, the box slowly opened up. Li Yan did not drink much, but on the face.
With the strength of wine, I asked him how he and Chen Xue began. Li Yan thought about it and told me that it should start from the school tug of war, originally their class had won the championship of the senior group, but when they finally competed for the school championship, they actually lost to our senior class. He had already boasted in the class that he would win the school championship this time, and as long as the competition was related to rope, there was nothing he was not good at. But I didn’t expect to be compared to the first year students, when our class tug of war team leader was Wang Pengqiang, he felt humiliated, after school near the school gate on the Wang Pengqiang to beat up.
The day he beat Wang Pengqiang, it was the first time Li Yan saw Chen Xue, first a fragrance of magnolia from afar, and then the big braid attracted his attention. Li Yan said, his heart like a blossom, at that moment forgot that he had to fight, legs do not listen to the like towards Chen Xue, a moment of speech, do not know what to say.
“Which class are you from? How have I not seen you before? Look pretty good ah …… you …… have an object not?”
After saying this sentence Li Yan regretted – the words came out like a rascal, he did not want Chen Xue think he was a rascal. Chen Xue then blushed, lowered her head and accelerated away. Looking at her back, Li Yan then decided that he must chase Chen Xue into his hands.
Li Yan said, he is a rough man, but also with a few so-called “object”, “but those pressed heart did not like, met Chen Xue is different, is really want to long with her.”
After that day he secretly observed Chen Xue for several days, knew where her home lived, which way she usually went home, but never had the opportunity to say hello.
Once after school, a few drunken punks gathered in front of the school, commenting on the girls passing by one by one, seeing Chen Xue shining in front of his eyes, surrounded up, all drunk, nasty exports. Li Yan, who was behind Chen Xue, couldn’t stand it and grabbed Chen Xue and fought off the punks by himself.
That day Chen Xue expressed his gratitude to him, he just smiled awkwardly and went away. I didn’t expect that the next day, those few punks gathered a dozen people to block him in front of the school, he didn’t run away and didn’t beat them. After the punks left, Li Yan struggled to stand up, a hand held him from behind, turned his head to look, but it was Chen Xue. Chen Xue held him and sent him home, and a week later, they became boyfriend and girlfriend. He said, “That beating was worth it!”
The night of the blizzard, no one innocent
The first time he was with Chen Xue was when Chen Xue took the initiative. Li Yan did not do well in the college entrance examination, originally wanted to go to Beijing to work, but the heart can not let go of Chen Xue, went to the fertilizer factory to find a job, want to wait for Chen Xue first after the college entrance examination and then see – Chen Xue if you get into college, you will go to her city, if you do not get into college, where Chen Xue goes, he will go.
Chen Xue said to break up with him, he did not believe it was true, thought Chen Xue in the senior year of stress, mood swings are normal, wait for her to finish the college entrance exams and then think about the long term is not too late. But soon after, the rumor mill said that Chen Xue had fallen in love with a teacher. Li Yan’s first reaction was “that’s impossible”, but the rumors were so serious that some people said they saw Chen Xue coming out of the man’s dormitory in the morning. Li Yan is a little anxious, want to go to question Chen Xue, but afraid that if this is false, affect Chen Xue’s state before the college entrance exam. As a result, Li Yan secretly followed Liu Bin and found out their secret dating spot.
“That day I took a knife and wanted to break in and kill the pair of dogs and men, but backed out the moment I lifted my foot and kicked in the door.”
Li Yan remembered that it was Saturday, the day of their private meeting, and he had been guarding an isolated corner near Liu Bin’s dormitory since the afternoon, bringing a rope. Liu Bin had a dog and wanted to wait for Liu Bin to go out and take the rope to tie up the big yellow dog first.
Unexpectedly Liu Bin’s wife and children came. “That day it looked like Liu Bin would not go at night. The snow that day was really big, my military coat fell on a thick layer, the whole county only see snow without people, step by step left the school, snow fell on the eye hair so that people can not open their eyes, white frozen for so long, the heart is very unhappy, but I thought about it, Chen Xue does not necessarily know that Liu Bin’s wife came, maybe still waiting for him in that small courtyard.” Li Yan usually do not dare to quarrel with Chen Xue, but that day held a stomach full of anger no place to send, it stepped on the snow to that small courtyard.
When he arrived at the small courtyard, Li Yan saw that the lights in the house were already on, and an inexplicable fire rose up in his heart. Chen Xue was first startled when she saw Li Yan, and then she blushed a little. The two argued without a few words, Li Yan said he had never seen Chen Xue like this before, like a madman, picked up the tea cup on the table and smashed it towards himself. Chen Xue dare to fight with him, which is Li Yan did not expect, he was more angry, so he tied Chen Xue – as to why he tied Chen Xue, he said he was not sure, may be a subconscious behavior it.
That day did not eat much food, wine did not drink less, after eating I went to the check, Li Yan said what not to pay, but also sent me a few pounds of lamb chops just out of the pot.

I went back to the city where I work, where it is 20 degrees all year round. I took off my thick down jacket and changed into a single coat.
The first thing I did was to get in touch with Wang Pengqiang half a month later, when he came to my city for a meeting and took the initiative to contact me and ask me to have a meal.
Wang Pengqiang high school and I a dormitory, the first year of high school when we two do not deal with each other, do not see each other – he suspected that I always speak with dirty words, I do not like him to do things love to go in the heart of the matter, what is not clear. We had a fight, probably that hands to the scolding are scolded thoroughly, after but became good friends. He has good academic performance, which is the seedling to enter a major university, but after that incident, he was not able to take the college entrance examination.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a friend, not a little wine, a lot of things to say, from time to time the quiet, so we look awkward.
I still made up my mind and asked him the details of that Chen Xue thing. Wang Pengqiang sighed and said that his most embarrassing moment was the time he was beaten by Li Yan, “Actually being beaten is nothing, being seen by Chen Xue is the most embarrassing”.
Wang Pengqiang with a crush on Chen Xue from the beginning of high school, Chen Xue in his heart is like a fairy that does not eat fireworks. Wang Pengqiang general looks, throwing people can not be found in the pile, on the tug-of-war competition to let themselves in the class a little bit of the limelight, afterwards also by Li Yan beaten.
He said he couldn’t understand at the time, Chen Xue such a good girl, why would like Li Yan such a gangster. Seeing them in pairs at school, Wang Pengqiang had an inexplicable anger, but did not dare to vent it. Sometimes when he looks up and sees Chen Xue looking at himself, his eyes meet for a moment, and he quickly dodges. Wang Pengqiang decided that it was the beating that caused him to lift his head in front of Chen Xue, the deeper the hatred for Li Yan, the more quiet and intense the crush on Chen Xue.
Wang Pengqiang said he was the first to find out that Chen Xue had fallen in love with Liu Bin – three years in high school, Chen Xue’s every move, every look touched his heart. When Chen Xue fell in love with Liu Bin, he felt that Chen Xue was looking at Liu Bin wrong, and as long as Liu Bin caught the last class, Chen Xue would pack her school bag much slower than usual.
Through the tone of Chen Xue and Liu Bin talking, looking at each other’s eyes, Wang Pengqiang was able to guess whether they had slept together yesterday. Later, Wang Pengqiang also found the small courtyard where they met privately, every Tuesday and Saturday, he would go to that small courtyard at 8:30 sharp, lying at the root of the wall, listening to them linger inside, talking about love and dirty words.
Wang Pengqiang was a bit confused: what kind of person is Chen Xue? The original thought she was very “cold”, but when he later learned that Chen Xue had chased a married man, Chen Xue’s image in his heart completely collapsed.
Although the weather forecast for that Saturday said there would be a snowstorm at night, but Wang Pengqiang still went to the small courtyard as usual. He went out when heavy snow had covered the county. He was close to the root of the wall and heard the noise coming from the house, listened carefully, but it was Li Yan and Chen Xue arguing. Li Yan used the most vicious words to humiliate Chen Xue, calling her a broken shoe and a whore. After Chen Xue cried, Li Yan didn’t stop, his voice was getting higher and higher – then he heard the sound of a cup breaking, presumably Chen Xue took the cup and smashed Li Yan, not long after, Li Yan walked out, leaving only Chen Xue’s cries.
Chen Xue kept shouting, and after half an hour, the voice gradually weakened, and after an hour, there was no sound. Wang Pengqiang thought Chen Xue did not have the strength to shout, but the silence is a bit surprising, how even a little sound?
Wang Pengqiang through a small gap in the window, saw Chen Xue was tied to the legs of the bed, lying motionless on the ground. He said in his heart “bad!” The first time I entered the house, the smell in the room was a little pungent, a strong straight up, Wang Pengqiang immediately knew that Chen Xue was gas poisoning, quickly opened the windows in the house. And then picked up Chen Xue, to untie her.
Here he did not say, I was listening to the surprising, and hurriedly urged him: “And then what? You haven’t gotten to the point.”
“A thought.” He sighed deeply, “a thought, changed my future fate.”
Wang Pengqiang sipped tea, then said, “The thought of the person you have been thinking about is in your arms, so close, so soft, the first time to look at her face so close, or so beautiful, her hands, her breasts, just like admiring a work of art. At that time, I thought, lost this opportunity, I may not have a chance in life.”
He did not untie Chen Xue, but took off her pants. The longed-for Chen Xue was right in front of his eyes, even if he had to pay any price is worth it, not to mention that she is now unconscious and does not necessarily know that he did it.
But I did not expect to do half of the time, Chen Xue regained consciousness, opened his eyes to see Wang Pengqiang lying on his body, shouted, scared him, he hurried to haphazardly put on clothes and ran away. He ran out when the snow has stopped, in a panic fell, not painful, very soft, panic also hit a tree, the tree drifted down a lot of snow, covered him.
Wang Pengqiang said he had not returned to his hometown for many years, now settled in Shenzhen, married a Guizhou girl the year before last, and now living well.
After dinner that day, I proposed to go play for a while, take a bath or sing, he said forget it, we do not need to engage in those false. He took a taxi back to the hotel, and I walked home from the dinner place.
The city is very warm, occasionally the wind is warm, such a night can not think.

When Chen Xue’s affair caused quite a stir in this small county, everyone loves to talk about it after dinner.
“If you want me to say it, it’s the woman who is to blame for being indiscreet, a little more peaceful, which there are these things?”
“I think it’s the male teacher who has a wife and is still good with other women!”
“What’s the matter with Li Yan? The one who dated her was Liu Bin, the one who raped her was Wang Pengqiang, not Li Yan’s business.”
“Sometimes, I feel that I can not blame Wang Pengqiang, although they raped you, but they also saved your life, which is more important to get a time and live?”
“I blame the guy who kidnapped the girl, you do not kidnap people, people can not be gas poisoning, people do not gas poisoning, it is impossible to be raped, so ah, kidnapped the girl that kid, not a thing!”
That year, Li Yan was sentenced to 2 years, Wang Pengqiang was sentenced to 4 years, Liu Bin took the initiative to apply for transfer back to the town, six months later Gao Xiaoyan and he divorced, daughter to Gao Xiaoyan raised. Chen Xue did not take the college entrance examination, the accident did not take long to disappear, and later some people said they had seen her in Beijing, and others said they had seen her in Kunming.
After Li Yan was released from prison, he took the initiative to take care of Chen Xue’s grandmother, until the old man died in 2014, the funeral, Chen Xue’s parents are back, but Chen Xue did not return.
Wang Pengqiang after his release from prison, followed his uncle to work in Shenzhen.
Now few people talk about that event more than ten years ago, only remember that year there was a big snowstorm, the land is white, a pale. The blizzard covered up the crime and the desire of several people, no one is innocent.
