When Lin Tian heard the news from the villagers, he couldn't believe it. It was like a bolt from the blue.

Bai Ling and his family will never come back to Linjia Village again?

Bai Ling left without saying goodbye?

"Village Chief, I don't understand. Why are you not coming back? Where did their family go?"

"I don't know. Didn't Bai Ling tell you?"

The village chief asked back.

Lin Tian shook his head lonely.

The village chief looked at Lin Tian's dejected look and felt quite emotional.

He knew that Lin Tian and Bai Ling had been close since childhood, so this incident was a big blow to Lin Tian.

"I don't know what's going on among you young people, I'm just a messenger.

Alas, talking about the little girl Bai Ling, I really feel sorry for her. Her parents are often away from home, and people in the village don't like her. She has taken care of herself since she was a child, but she is still so kind and strong.

Originally, I was thinking of giving your dad a promotion, and then calling Bai Ling back to the village and letting her do a clerical job.

Although she was ordered by her parents not to take the college entrance examination, I know that her academic performance is not inferior to yours, and it is entirely possible for her to be admitted to college.

She is smart and studious, and this kind of ordinary clerical job is not difficult for her. Alas, it is too late to say this now.

Speaking of this, I remembered one thing. The last time the village asked you to contract land, she took the initiative to come to me and asked us to count the opinions of the villagers, and then talk to you.

Although she did not come forward, she did a lot of work in private and carefully prepared a form for me, so that our work could continue.

Alas, Bai Ling is such a good girl, but it’s a pity that I won’t be able to see her again.”

Lin Tian knows better than anyone how good Bai Ling is. She always works silently for him behind the scenes and does not take the initiative to claim credit.

Lin Tian nodded and said, "Yeah, Bai Ling has always been a very good girl."

"It's just that I never expected that Bai Ling would leave Linjia Village without saying a word!"

Lin Tian forced himself to accept the fact that Bai Ling would no longer be in Linjia Village. From now on, he would never see Bai Ling again.

Just, why?

They had such a deep friendship for so many years, and she didn't leave him a single word?

Could it be that what she heard him say to Pei Lei last night hurt her heart?

Is it possible that Bai Ling likes him?

This idea took root instantly, and Lin Tian came to a conclusion.

Thinking of this possibility, Lin Tian's heart froze.

If Bai Ling really liked him, all the weird behaviors she did last night would be explained.

Lin Tian gave Pei Lei the roses they planted together without asking her opinion, which must have made her sad.

When Bai Ling asked Lin Tian to take Pei Lei back to the hotel, she must have felt uncomfortable.

When she was delivering the things to the hotel room, she saw Lin Tian and Pei Lei hugging each other, seemingly making love to each other. It was like they were being tortured in public, right?

Lin Tian, ​​Lin Tian, ​​you pride yourself on being smart and think that Bai Ling and you are just good friends.

But, would a good friend give without any hesitation?

If a woman is so kind to you, that means she likes her.

He has always deceived himself.

He was so used to Bai Ling being kind to him.

Only when you lose it can you realize how valuable she is.

No, he wants to find Bai Ling!

After thinking about this, Lin Tian regained his motivation and asked the village chief: "Village chief, do you have the contact information of Bai Ling's parents?"

The village chief shook his head.

"I called both of them in the morning, but they both said their numbers were empty. Their family seemed to have disappeared without a trace. Bai Ling's parents didn't even say hello to me, it's true."

"So, it's like their family has disappeared?"

Lin Tian said naa naa.

Suddenly, he remembered something and asked the village chief: "Village Chief, I want to ask you a question, can you answer me truthfully?"

"Just ask, I will tell you everything I can tell you."

Lin Tian stared into his eyes and asked: "In our Lin family village, Bai Ling's family is the only outsider. Where did they come from?"

The village chief sighed and said leisurely: "I knew you would ask this question. When Bai Ling's parents brought her here, Bai Ling seemed to be only four or five years old. Her parents applied to live in our village and gave her

A large sum of money from the village helped the village overcome the great economic difficulties.

At that time, their family's request was to move into Linjia Village and obtain a household registration and a house.

All we have to promise them is never to ask them where they come from. So, even I don’t know where they come from.”

"How could such a thing happen? The origin is unknown?"

Lin Tian was puzzled.

He had previously thought that Bai Ling's family was strange. Her parents were not at home all day long, and they did not treat Bai Ling as affectionately as ordinary parents.

Now, a family of three has quietly disappeared.

The village chief patted Lin Tian on the shoulder and said to him: "Don't think too much. Maybe the family of three has gone abroad and it is not convenient to contact us now."

After the village chief left, Lin Tian stayed in a daze for a long time.

He looked at the keys and land deed in his hand, with a very bitter smile on his face.

"Bai Ling, Bai Ling, you have actually learned to hide things from me. It's okay if you have secrets. But you go too far without telling me wherever you go!"

He sighed, raised his feet and walked towards Bai Ling's house.

He wanted to see if there was really no one at Bai Ling's house. Maybe Bai Ling was joking with him and playing hide-and-seek with him at home.

Lin Tian comforted himself and took the key to open the door of Bai Ling's house.

"Squeak..."

When the door opens, Lin Tian's eyes are greeted by a yard full of flowers and a lush pineapple tree.

There are a variety of flowers planted in the yard, most of which are Bai Ling's favorite roses.

The wooden pineapple tree inside, Lin Tian feels full of memories when he sees it now.

The pineapple tree is also known as the "Thousand Cuts". Before it bears fruit, some fine cuts must be made on the tree so that the fruit will be large and good.

Because Lin Tian and his family couldn't plant any in their yard, Bai Ling knew that he liked to eat it, so she told her parents that she liked it and planted a pineapple tree in their yard.

Every year after that, Bai Ling and Lin Tian would make an appointment to chop down the pineapple trees.

When the fruit is ripe, Bai Ling will ask Lin Tian to come over to test whether the pineapple is ripe.

The fruits of the pineapple tree are very large, weighing about five kilograms each on average. Lin Tian and Bai Ling used long sticks to knock the pineapples on the tree, and judged from the sound of the knocking whether it was time to pick the fruit.

They will bet to see who can judge more accurately.

A tree of wood pineapples can bear about fifty fruits every year. They can play this game for a long time and never tire of it.

Thinking of the laughter and laughter between the two of them under the pineapple tree in previous years, Lin Tian felt even heavier.

He opened the door and walked into the house.

The house was empty except for some furniture. All traces of life on these furniture seemed to have been erased, and the house seemed to have been abandoned for a while.

Lin Tian smiled bitterly.

“The move was very fast and everything was tidied up.”

He was confused. A few days ago, he and Bai Ling were planting flowers together. She said that she would go to the city a few days early to make preparations for Pei Lei Cafe.

Could it be that they moved quietly in just a few days?

It's impossible. Although Bai Ling's house is in a remote location, if you move, a truck will definitely come and people in the village will definitely see it.
