Chapter Seventy-Five: The Death of Hans
Because of the meticulous care of his friends, Xiao An was able to be discharged from the hospital earlier than expected. After being discharged from the hospital, she no longer had to worry about who would be in front of her house to hunt her down, and she returned to her residence in Mexico City with peace of mind.
"Now that you're slowly recovering, we need to hurry to find our lost teammates now!"
When he got home, Hans told her this while helping Xiao An pack his luggage.
"That's right, but I'm really scared, if they don't come back, then how do we have to tell the school and the police!" Xiao An is at a loss for this.
"Don't be afraid, even if you go to jail, I will sit with you!" Hans gave her this encouragement and reassurance.
"Forget it, you're the only Hans in this world, you have to accompany me, and you have to accompany your aunt to turn herself in, how can you be busy alone!"
Well, as soon as this sentence was finished, Xiao An realized that he had said the wrong thing.
"I'm sorry, Hans, I-"
Alas, even if there are some bad people and bad things in this world, it is not my turn to judge.
Xiao An's face burned hot in an instant.
"Don't do that, Ann, you're right, if it weren't for your reminder, I might still be continuing that dream!" Hans immediately changed from the brisk feeling he had just now to the thoughtfulness he was now.
"Hans, I know that Auntie is doing something wrong, but she is also pitiful! Moreover, the people she killed are no longer recoverable, and people cannot be resurrected after death, so why can't we think of other solutions? ”
"You're suggesting I have something else better?" Hans looked at Ann.
"Well, I don't dare to say that, but your family is so rich, and it's hard for you to do it yourself. Can't you get your aunt to go somewhere else, for example, to get her a place that is not covered by the laws of your country, and let her choose the way to atone for her sins? After all, she is already this age, and she has suffered for most of her life. She's not doing well, can you be happy? So, find a way to save her! Xiao An didn't know why, obviously sympathized with those who were killed by her aunt before. But now I don't want my aunt to accept the punishment of the law directly.
People are emotional animals.
"Alas, Ann, after being with you for so long, I also know a Chinese saying: human affection is greater than law. I still know. All these things have a program. How is it possible that we have made a mistake and still have to avoid the punishment we deserve? You don't have to worry, I won't be too upset if my aunt does go to jail or is sentenced to death. Because she is not wronged, and I have been more attentive to her than my biological mother over the years, I and she will not have too many regrets when she is gone. It's just that my birth mother, who had never heard of these things. It's kind of shocking. ”
Well, now that you're all mentally prepared, I'm no longer sensitive to this topic. Next, it's time to go all out to find the whereabouts of your lost teammates.
Hans was not worried that his aunt was alone, so he also found her a place to live nearby, and told her not to run around alone. First, the local security is very poor, and second, I am afraid that if the Interpol is found, the crime may be even greater if the passive arrest is carried out.
The aunt agreed to him. He said that he would never run around, and that he would have to wait until Hans was done before turning himself in.
So, the two launched a carpet search. But after several days of hard work, there was still no clue from anyone, including the professor.
"Alas, the professor has been to so many places in his life, and he has never encountered anything particularly thrilling, this time, do you think they will be more auspicious?" Xiao An was so tired and depressed that he was frustrated. Then he thrust his waist angrily and said.
"Pure nonsense! Since it is more than lucky, what is the matter with the two of us? You have to use your brain, we were on the same occasion as everyone else at the time, and the amount of blasting power emitted by the gods was directly related to the distance of our position. And I have the impression now that even though our teams were basically at about the same distance apart at that time, the damage should have been about the same. I thought, most likely, they were swept away by this force, and not just death! ”
Hans's analysis is not unreasonable, but-
"No, no, no! If that's the case, we're all about the same distance, shouldn't they be in a similar place with us? So why don't Mexico, or the European countries before they come, have their whereabouts? ”
"You're so stupid, why don't you think about things with your brains? You don't want to think about how we came from the country of gold in the first place, Mary Woods? And where did you get to the fairy's castle? Crossing over! Do you understand the crossing? The world is so big, isn't it wonderful! You don't understand this? ”
yes, yes, anything is possible.
Xiao An suddenly remembered his previous experience and kept nodding.
"Also, even if we encounter some bad things, we should try to be optimistic and pray for good luck every day, so that maybe bad things can become good things!"
"Really?"
"Really!" Hans was afraid that Xiao An would not believe it, so he continued, "As long as we are kind enough, I believe that both mortals and ghosts will be moved by us!" It's like how stubborn my aunt was before, but since I was rescued by you, I've changed someone. No, it's the gentle, soft and kind her who she was back again. Therefore, we must have faith in ourselves and in the world, so that our hopes will not turn into disappointment! ”
After all these things, I feel that Hans has grown more than himself, which shows that he is a good comrade who knows how to absorb and excrete in time, hehe.
Xiao An seems to admire the man in front of him more and more, it is really good that he can sort out the main points in the fastest time and know how to make trade-offs.
"Well, in fact, what worries me the most now is not our teammates, but Marta who is alone, and she doesn't know what is going on with a girl's family. If she was still alive, would she have encountered difficulties, and would someone have bullied her? There was no one around to protect her, she was so unlucky! Xiao An, who had just been persuaded by Hans to have a little hope, suddenly thought of Marta, and began a new round of worry.
"Alas," said Hans, who sighed as she sighed, but his tone was not so lonely, but rather a little sarcastic, "in fact, the most pitiful and unfortunate is not Marta, but Ricky!" Marta is gone, and his heart is dead! I don't know that he, who has lost contact with Marta, has lost contact with us again. Will you be short-sighted? ”
"Go! Don't talk nonsense! I just said it well, why is it full of nonsense again! Xiao An glared at him.
"You misunderstood me! Am I worried about him? Just if you are allowed to worry about your sisters, I am not allowed to worry about my teammates? Ricky is also my classmate! ”
Well, well, you're actually right. Then I won't bother with you.
In this way, a few days passed peacefully, although there has been no whereabouts of his teammates, but every night he came back was considered to be a good night, but Hans and Xiao An did not dare to go to school.
On this day, the two went out again to find the whereabouts of their teammates as usual. Not long after she went out, Xiao An's mobile phone rang, and when she saw that it was the clerk in Marta's restaurant, she thought that she had the whereabouts of everyone, so she happily answered:
"Hey, is there any whereabouts for them?"
"No, of course, if it is, we will definitely let you know as soon as possible! But. That's not what we're going to tell you, but—"
Because after he and Hans came back, they were afraid of being discovered by superfluous people, so they just stayed quietly, and in the past few days, some police officers have already known about Auntie, and someone has already gone to Marta's restaurant to inquire.
"What to do? They seem to already know about Auntie! I thought that this call would bring good news, but I didn't expect it to break the silence of several days. After Xiao An hung up the phone, he looked at Hans very melancholy.
When he heard the news, he was also shocked. But he recovered quickly, and he was still stable, "Don't be afraid, this is normal." What should come, will come! ”
On the surface, he seems to be full of care, and seems to have been fully prepared, but who knows how uncomfortable he must be in his heart.
But even though he knew that he must be in turmoil now, he couldn't help him. Not even a suitable suggestion.
But he couldn't freeze here, so Xiao An said, "Do you want to take your aunt to turn herself in quickly?" ”
Hearing the words "surrender", Hans's eyes immediately lit up, "That's right! Without further ado, we have to hurry to find Auntie, in case we let the police get ahead of us, it will be too late to remedy anything! ”
As he spoke, he dragged Xiao An and hurriedly ran to his aunt's residence.
Xiao An also knew that Hans was just a full member of his so-called family, although he had an unusual sense of smell that could bring great convenience to his career. But if there is no aunt from now on, and there is no strange fragrance she has collected for herself, then she is no different from others, and she will continue to be mediocre from now on. Because no matter how special your sense of smell is, you can only deal with those well-known plants and animals. And those who others can also discover, and they can probably only extend and study the technology from now on.
In fact, since the aunt completely "washed her hands", they have never used those illegal methods to collect perfume.
Soon the two rushed to the aunt's house, because they were in a hurry, Hans didn't knock on the door, afraid that the aunt would not hear, so he took out the key and took Xiao An to break in. But after entering, I didn't see my aunt for a long time, and I don't know where she ran at this time.
"This old lady, it's true, I told her before leaving, don't run around, don't run around, why is she so disobedient?" Hans clenched his fists and hung his thighs incessantly.
"Don't worry, maybe she goes out to buy groceries, you think, she can't skip dinner, right? Don't worry, she's healthy, body, mind and brain, and nothing should go wrong! Xiao An comforted him like this.
"I hope so, alas, when I was young, she was worried about me, and now, it's not my turn to worry about her!" Hans stood there and sighed.
Alas, if these things had not happened, if she had not pursued any career success, and had not expected the approval of that perfume family, Auntie would not have given so much for Hans blindly, so that even her own life could be sacrificed at any time.
Fortunately, her cultivation and hard work for Hans were not in vain, and now that Hans has grown up, although her aunt has no biological children of her own, she has made every day full of sunshine because of the care of her deceased husband's son.
Probably thinking that standing still would not lead to anything, Hans walked around again. He came to the entrance and specially checked the shoe cabinet, and found that many pairs of shoes that his aunt usually wore were still on it, and he was in a hurry, so he hurriedly greeted Xiao An, "No! She shouldn't have gone out! Her shoes are all in the house, but her slippers are not here! ”
Yes? That's-
"Could it be, Auntie is sleeping?" Xiao An guessed.
Then. Hans was a little determined, "Yes, it's possible, after all, we didn't make a lot of noise when we came in. Moreover, she has not been summoned much. This house is not big, but it is not small, even if the aunt is in good health, she is also an elderly person after all. Hearing will decline somewhat! ”
"Then, let's do it, let's go separately and look for it, we just looked at it on the first floor, and we didn't look at many places in this room! Maybe Auntie is somewhere in the house, but she doesn't know we're here yet, and we haven't noticed her yet! Xiao An proposed.
"Good! Then let's meet here in a moment! Whoever finds the aunt first, will take her here to call another person! ”
“OK!”
So the two began to look for their aunt all over the house.
"Auntie! Aunt! We've come to you, we have something to say to you! If you hear it, come out quickly, and don't let us be too anxious! ”
"Auntie. Auntie, did you hear that? Don't play hide and seek with us at this time! ”
But no matter how the two called, they just couldn't hear the aunt's response.
It can't be that the police have taken the aunt away in advance! It's a policeman, it's not a triad, so people have to put on their shoes, and if it's really a policeman, they'll definitely contact us as soon as possible.
Xiao An gradually had a bad premonition in his heart, and it is estimated that Hans should be the same at this time.
However, she didn't dare to say this premonition. She was afraid that all of this would become a reality.
On the one hand, she didn't want the young parents and their babies and the girls in the vase to die in vain. She also agreed that her aunt would be able to atone for their sins as soon as possible. But, on the other hand, after getting along for these days, plus knowing her aunt's past and present life, she doesn't want this lonely middle-aged woman who makes big mistakes and then mistakes again and again because of a moment of confusion, and then falls into a place of no return.
Plainly. She's sinful, but it's also distressing.
So, Auntie, you can't just end up like this, you haven't paid it back yet, how can you pay back so many people with one life? Even for the sake of those who have died, you have to repent enough before you can go.
Xiao An only said these words to himself in his heart, but he didn't dare to say them. Her steps grew heavier and heavier, and she almost had a heart attack before she could open a door, and she was afraid that her aunt would find a short-sighted sight before she could finish praying and redeeming the dead she had killed.
And this is not impossible.
The more I think about it, the more scared Xiao An becomes, how can I feel that life is too hateful, constantly playing with the world: why do I think this is more difficult than when my aunt chased and killed me?
Alas, Auntie, maybe you have come to make trouble for others all your life?
Although, there are many people who have received your favor.
"Ann, have you found Auntie?"
Hans shouted at himself from another part of the house.
"Not yet! Haven't you found it yet? ”
No need to ask, the answer is definitely yes.
As expected, Hans was still looking blankly.
Seeking, seeking, why are we born to keep looking for something? Looking for food, clothing, housing, work, and someone to start a family with. Even if you go out to school, you have to face finding your lost teammates and your teammates' aunts.
Xiao An was tortured to the point that she was about to cry, she simply sat on the stairs temporarily, and if she was asked by Hans, then she would say that she was thinking about the problem and where her aunt was now.
She also knew that God had been fair enough to her, and at this age, she had everything she should have compared to her peers. Although there are some things that everyone thinks should have in a broad sense, she is not ready for the time being, but this is only a matter of time, and she is not very eager for it at the moment. So, wiping her slightly tired face, she stood up again: God treats me so well, and saves me again and again, isn't it just this little thing? Why can't I do it?
After cheering up, Xiao An began a new round of searching for his aunt.
Basically, all the floors have been searched, and only the attic is left, and if there is not even here, then the aunt will have to go to the courtyard. But how big is the yard, and Hans told her when her aunt came in that she should try not to go to the yard as much as possible, because she would be recognized, and she has always been very obedient, and she has lived here in seclusion during this time.
So, it should be just this loft. Unless, after we looked for most of the day, she really ran out in slippers because of something.
And this seems to be a small possibility. My aunt is very conscious, and she has not yet reached the age of high incidence of Alzheimer's disease, and these years of experience have made her have already exercised a calm habit, and it is difficult for her to run outside in a panic because of something.
The heart was beating harder and harder, Xiao An could barely breathe, this was the last room, including the bathroom, they had basically searched the whole house, if there was no aunt here - or, aunt she, in this room, would -
Xiao An covered his head with his hand, and he couldn't think about it anymore. (To be continued.) )
