Chapter 46: The Visit
As the sky began to light up from pitch black, the royal authority carried me to the nearby hospital.
When I arrived at the hospital, I had seven more stitches, one tetanus injection, a thick bandage, and a pig's trotter on my arm. Looking at my scarred arm, I couldn't help but feel bitter in my heart, and I didn't know when such a day would be a head.
After some tossing, the horizon in the east has been white, and the two of us have not closed our eyes all night, and now we are exhausted. The two of us sat on the bench of the hospital in embarrassment, with "panda eyes" on their faces, rested for a while, and then dispatched the little electric donkey and drove back to Shajing Hutong.
As soon as we got back to our lodgings, we both ran back to our respective rooms and went to sleep, because my arms were always aching, and I slept very unsteadily, until the sun was setting in the afternoon, and I heard the sound of the king moving in the living room outside the bedroom, but I was so sleepy that I slept again.
I don't know how long it took for my room door to be knocked.
"Get up, Emperor Luo, the sun is on your buttocks. "Wang Quan learned the voice of the eunuch outside my house, and said in a shrieked voice.
"Got it, step down. I replied in a daze, and got up to put on my shoes.
"Oh, the little one has already gone out to buy something to eat just now, you should hurry up and eat, it will be cold after a while." Then the king said, and walked away from the door of my house.
I shook my head vigorously, and I was a little sober, but my arm still ached faintly, and I couldn't help but wonder a little in my heart: Why did I recover so slowly this time? Could it be that after the stench of that freak, Lao Tzu's god-level recovery ability was smoked again? I sat there for a while, and then shook my head, anyway, I can't figure out what's going on, as long as I still have a breath, I'm thankful. At this time, I remembered that the small mirror I had bought for Wang Quan in Harbin had not yet been emptied for him, so I took out the mirror from my bag, got up and opened the door, walked out of the bedroom, and saw a "side stand" (a folding table) in the living room, on which were placed buns and porridge, and Wang Quan's boy was sitting at the table munching on buns.
When he saw me come out, Wang Quan brought me a bowl of porridge and motioned for me to sit down.
"Well, here's for you," I handed him the mirror and said, "I'll go wash my face and brush my teeth first." While talking to the king, I took my toiletry and went to the basin in the courtyard to wash up, and then returned to the living room.
"Tsk, I know how to be clean. The mirror is good, and the old man accepted it" Wang Quan said with a smile while eating.
"Nonsense, do you think I'm you, and I have to lick it after picking my feet?" I sneered.
"Damn, why are you so disgusting? didn't you see Ben Shao eating?" Wang Quan said with a look of disgust.
"Haha, I said Commander Wang, I can't withstand this blow, how can I become a hero of the party and a backer of the people?"
Wang Quan took a bite of the bun sadly and angrily: "Yes, good men don't fight with women, Lao Tzu doesn't have the same knowledge as you, hurry up and eat, we still have important things to do after eating." β
As soon as I heard him say that there was something important, I was shocked, and hurriedly sat down at the table, hungry for a day, I didn't have the heart to be polite to him, picked up the bun and ate it, chewing while saying vaguely: "Are we going to find the flying car Chen?"
"No, let's go visit the old man who gave me the picture first. Wang Quan took a sip of porridge and said calmly.
I thought about it and thought it was nothing, anyway, we have to look for these two people, and it's the same for whoever to find first, but after three or four years, I don't know if the flying car Chen is still in the area of Wangquan High School, so it makes sense to visit the old man first.
I nodded in agreement, and after defining the strategic goals, the next step was a storm-swept sweep......
After eating and drinking, and feeling refreshed, the two of us bought some tea nearby and embarked on the journey to visit the old man with great dignity.
Due to the distance, this time Wang Quan did not invite a small electric donkey, but rented a broken Jetta that jingled all over his body, and drove me to the old man's house.
On the road, listening to the clanging sound of this little broken car, I couldn't help but sarcastically mock the king: "I said Commander Wang, you kid can be regarded as having status and status, in today's society that advocates moneyism, why are you so shabby?"
Wang Quan disagreed, and while driving, he said beautifully: "You don't understand this, right? β
I couldn't help but feel nauseous: "Tut-tut, you can spare me, I'm embarrassed to compare myself to a lotus, I think you are just a dog's tail grass, or the few sticks that are swaying in the wind by the stinky ditch." β
"Hey, I'm a dog's tail grass, who's next to me?" said the king, looking back at me.
I glared at him fiercely: "Lao Tzu is too lazy to pay attention to you, drive well, this car is old, beware of this old antique that will make you fall apart for a while." β
Talking nonsense all the way, we drove towards the old man's house at the speed of a turtle crawling, and the traffic jam was almost in the evening, and we finally arrived at our destination.
As soon as we got out of the car, we went straight to the old man's community. Entering the gate of the community, Wang Quan took me to the entrance of the building where the old man's house was located. After entering the corridor, the two of us stopped grinding and hurriedly went straight to the old man's house.
The old man's family lived on the third floor 301, and we trotted all the way upstairs and knocked on the door of the old man's house, but the old man did not come to open the door for us.
We knocked for a while, but there was still no answer in the house.
I asked Wang Quan suspiciously: "Could it be that the old man has gone out?"
Wang Quan was also a little puzzled: "Maybe, then let's wait." I nodded, put the tea in my hand on the stairs, and we started talking nonsense again.
After a while, the old man still didn't come back, and we were a little stunned, I pounded my squatting legs and said, "Could it be that the old man moved?"
"No, this old man has no children, no daughters, no support, how can he move?" Wang Quan muttered with a frown.
Just when we didn't know what to do, the house opposite the old man's house opened the door and an aunt came out.
Wang Quan and I looked at the aunt and looked at the aunt for a moment: "You two children, what are you doing squatting here, scare me." β
Wang Quan hurriedly spoke: "Auntie, I'm sorry, we are waiting for the old man at the opposite door here." β
My aunt looked at us as if she was nervous: "Who are you waiting for? The old man in this house died a week ago." β
"What?!" Wang Quan and I shouted in unison.
My aunt was taken aback by our actions, and patted her chest and said, "These two monkey cubs scared me to death at a glance, are you two relatives of this old man? But I have lived here for so long, and I have not seen any of his relatives come to see him?"
I hurriedly stepped forward and smiled at my aunt: "Auntie, I'm really sorry, I'm scared of you, we are just a little too surprised, I came to see the old man last month, why is it gone?"
It is estimated that this aunt saw that we were not very old, and she was carrying things in her hands, thinking that we were college student volunteers who specialized in visiting the lonely and widowed elderly, and her face eased a lot, and she said: " This old man said that he died last week, in fact, he only found out last week, we don't know when he died, or our family found that he didn't come out for a few days, plus it was summer, his old man died in the house, people stinked, so that our neighbors had no rut, so we had to call the police to pry open the door of this old man's house to get him out, alas, it's also very miserable, this old man usually talks and laughs with his neighbors, this is gone, it's gone, it's coming, and no one is going to send it to the end, or our neighbor pooled money to hold a funeral for him, and take care of the aftermathγ As she spoke, the aunt sighed, her face a little sad.
Wang Quan and I were silent after hearing this, and we didn't know what it was like in our hearts, and we always felt as if there was a weighing stone hanging in our hearts, and it was uncomfortable to fall.
Originally, we were going to come over and tell the old man the truth, we discussed it for a long time, no matter what, he has the right to know all this, by the way, I will inquire about the photo, see if the old man can remember what kind of place this is, how did the world impermanence, the old man actually left like this, but those truths, he will never know......
