Chapter 231: Black Mask
The old man lay on the bed and waved his hand, "It's not in the way, it's just raining and catching a little cold, just lie down for a few days." ”
Looking at the indifferent smile on the old man's face, Lin Yu sighed slightly in his heart, the old man's illness was really related to the man, Lin Yu remembered that in the man's story, the old man braved the rain to hand over the money to the man.
According to the calculation of time, it should have been caused by the rain that day, Lin Yu touched the old man's forehead, fortunately he didn't have a fever, and asked uncomfortably, "Grandma, have you taken cold medicine?"
The conversation between the two was heard by the man, and he bowed his head silently, like a child who had done something wrong. The man remembered that day when Yangcheng suddenly cooled down, and the sky began to rain lightly, and every raindrop hit his face like ice water.
Before going out, the man deliberately put on the thickest clothes on his body, and deliberately took an umbrella from the corner of the door, although he wanted to pretend to be a kidnapper to get the ransom of 300,000 yuan, but from the outside, he was calm and unhurried, like just going to the convenience store on the corner to buy a pack of cigarettes.
The man put on the black mask he had prepared in the taxi, and when the driver saw his movements through the rearview mirror, a hint of strangeness flashed in his eyes, but he was soon relieved. Today, Yangcheng is not only cool, but also heavily polluted weather, gray haze and light rain make the whole sky even more gloomy, making people feel the urge to get angry.
"It's a bit polluted today," the driver said halfway through.
The sudden break of the silence made the man's heart tighten, just a second ago, the man was still thinking about whether it would be a little too obvious that he was wearing a black mask in broad daylight, and he looked like he was going to do something bad? So he kept trying to tilt his head to the window, so as not to make eye contact with the driver, and he felt like a thief.
However, his outfit was noticed after all, fortunately, the sky in Yangcheng was full of haze today, and the driver actually thought that he was afraid of inhaling that little bit of PM2.5 before wearing a mask? The man's nervous demeanor relaxed suddenly, and he actually had a feeling that he wanted to laugh. He is a person who is not even afraid of death, and the most toxic pesticide has been prepared in the basement where he is hiding, and it is said that pouring it with liquor will make the toxicity better played, so he bought a bottle of Erguotou, which he usually loves, as long as he successfully gets 300,000, he will be able to leave the world with peace of mind. Wearing a mask because of smog is a move that only people with good fortune would do, and men think that their cheap life is far less expensive.
"Yes, it's serious. After the man replied casually, he turned his head to look at the sky outside, watching the raindrops fall from above his head, without a trace of hope, the man had a feeling of wanting to cry. He didn't know how he had fallen to such a point that he had to defraud an old man out of money to support his family.
The taxi stopped at a remote bridge, the man told the driver not to turn off the engine and wait for him for a minute, he had already seen an old man carrying a cloth bag, the old man appeared on time, and the man was deliberately ten minutes late. He had just asked the driver to go around the circle, but he didn't find the police car, and he didn't see the old man's accomplices, and the man's half-hung heart finally let go.
The man walked out with an umbrella and saw the old man standing in the wind and rain shivering, the old man obviously did not expect that Yangcheng would suddenly cool down today, and it was raining, and her shabby coat was a little thin. The man had only one thought in his heart, to get the money in his hands and get out of here as soon as possible, and when he turned around, he heard the old man begging, "Please, release my son quickly." ”
This voice still echoed in the man's mind, and he could now take a good look at the old man's appearance, and he didn't have to fear that his mind would be seen through by the other party. The old man was a very kind old lady, even more kind than the elders of her relatives, and as she imagined, the old man's life was simple and pure, and there may have never been deception in her world.
The man regretted that he didn't give her the umbrella in his hand in the first place, if he had given her that umbrella to shelter her from the wind and rain, maybe the old man would not be sick in bed today because of the wind and cold. Originally, this was the last thing he could do for her.
After listening to the old man's answer, Lin Yu knew that she must not have taken the medicine yet, so he turned his eyes and looked around the room, and almost didn't see anything else except the mirror, comb, and lamp on the dresser. It seems that there should be no medicine at the old man's home, Lin Yu flashed such a thought in his heart, it is not a way for her to carry it like this, the young man may be okay, it is very likely that she will be seriously ill at her age.
"Grandma, you take a rest first, I'll be back as soon as I go out for a while," Lin Yu didn't directly say that he was going to buy cold medicine, lest the old man have to argue with him again, and she would definitely eat it when she bought it back.
After saying this for so long, the old man was indeed a little tired, she nodded slightly, and watched Lin Yu leave the room.
Lin Yu put on the Grim Reaper's Hat in the hall, because he found that the man in the soul state also followed him out, "Don't go, it's useless to go anyway, just look at the old man here, you can inform me if anything." ”
The man nodded without saying a word, glanced at Lin Yu with a grateful gaze, and then returned to the room where the old man was. Lin Yu glanced at the window, and he saw the man and the flower cat sitting on the side of the bed together, both eyes looking intently at the old man lying on the bed, and he couldn't help but feel that this picture was a little funny.
The old man lay on the head of the bed and said to his cat, "Xiaohua, I don't have the strength to cook for you today, so you can go out and find something to eat by yourself." ”
After saying this, the old man waved his hand at the cat, and as if the cat understood, it barked softly, and then quickly ran out of the room.
Lin Yu watched Xiaohua pass by him, but just as he was getting close to him, Xiaohua still stopped and sniffed the air, as if he could still smell the breath that he hadn't dissipated in time.
A slight smile appeared on the corner of Lin Yu's mouth, Xiaohua sniffed for a while to no avail, and then ran into the distance, Lin Yu walked to a secluded place and took off his Death Hat, it was time to find someone to ask where the nearest pharmacy was.
