Chapter 16: The Old King is Dead
"Knock Knock Knock - Knock Knock"
I was woken up by a sharp knock on the door. I got up in a daze, the sunlight outside the window had already shone into the house, and Xiao Ting beside me also woke up.
The knocking on the door didn't stop, I looked at the clock, and it was ten o'clock!
"Who?" I answered the door with sleepy eyes.
"It's me, Xue Chen!"
"Oh......" I pulled the two anti-theft bolts on the door open, and the door was pushed open by Xue Chen, and I said with a sad face: "I really have to change the door!" ”
Xue Chen walked to the table with two breakfasts in his hand, and said disappreciatively: "It should have been changed a long time ago, and it was kicked away, change it to a better one, count it as mine!" ”
"For the sake of the handsome guy bringing us breakfast early in the morning, I'll make the decision for her, and I don't care about you!" Xiao Ting came out of the bathroom and went straight to the dining table.
Looking at the two of them, I shook my head speechlessly and went into the bathroom. When I came out after washing my face, the soy milk in Xiao Ting's hand had bottomed out, so I walked over and sat down and asked, "Are you going to the store?" ”
Xiao Ting rolled her eyes: "My good sister...... I've seen that, I'm embarrassed to leave you alone! I wanted to be emotional about this sentence, but she added: "I have already explained to Xiao Fang, I have been busy with expansion recently, and I am also quite tired, so I just rested for two days!" ”
According to my previous habits, I would definitely sour her at this time, but because Xue Chen was on the side, I didn't make a sound. Xiao Ting changed her words and said, "Your name is Xue Chen, right?" Officially acquaintance, I'm Xiao Ting! Saying that, she stroked her hair, white and soft hands, and looked like a thousand amorous looks.
Xue Chen raised a bright smile, stretched out his hand and shook it lightly: "It's an honor to know 'Xiao Da Beauty'!" ”
I looked at the two of them, and judging from the rippling smile on Xiao Ting's face, she was very happy to see Xue Chen.
"Are you two done getting acquainted? …… What's next? ”
Xiao Ting looked at an idiot and replied: "Are you scared stupid, or are you scared of amnesia, naturally change the door first and go to the sanitation worker!" ”
"What about Wang Man?" I asked reluctantly.
Xiao Ting's face changed, and she didn't reply, I think she is still very taboo about participating in this matter.
"It's tricky!" Xue Chen turned around and leaned against the broken door frame, and said with a serious face: "The old lady said that if there is resentment in her throat like her, she must either swallow it or disperse it, otherwise she can only be a 'vain ghost', and she will not give up until the enemy is dead!" ”
"What do you mean, do you want us to help her get justice?"
"As long as the other party admits her mistake and gets retribution, she naturally has no reason to stay." Xue Chen added.
"Why don't we call the police!" I proposed.
Xiao Ting retorted: "This kind of thing is unfounded, and it is difficult to be convincing to say that it is murder!" ”
Yes, if the police ask, it can't be said that the victim told us by himself! - "Hey! I sighed heavily, "I'd better find someone to change the door first!" ”
After changing the door, it was already past lunchtime. Xiao Ting said that she had a treat and found a decent restaurant nearby. While waiting for the food, I began to feel depressed - the price of goods has skyrocketed in recent years, and a door has cost eight hundred oceans, although Xue Chen insisted on paying half, I still feel sorry for my four hundred oceans, hey, the landlord is cheaper!
"Hey, hey, are you going to get distracted after eating?" Xiao Ting stretched out her five fingers and dangled in front of me, and the burgundy nails reminded me of the blood stains on Wang Man's chest.
I said angrily, "Don't you know that I have been suffering from physical and mental failure recently!" ”
A trace of pity appeared on Xiao Ting's face: "Didn't I deliberately invite you to a big meal!" ”
When I heard this, I was still very moved, and I said something sour to her: "Do you invite me, or invite him?" ”
Xue Chen saw me glancing at him and smiled slightly, somehow, I had an illusion of a fluttering heart.
"Hey, hey, hey, the food hasn't been served, and I'm drooling!"
I glared at Xiao Ting: "Just him, what about me?" ”
"Yes, not really!" Xiao Ting threw her eyes away and teased: "I didn't mention him, what do you say he is doing?" ”
Looking at Xiao Ting's little eyes, I propped my head and decided not to make a sound. In the battle of words, I haven't won since college, not only me, there are six in the dormitory, four are her defeats, and one ......
"Excuse me, let's get some food!"
I watched the waiter pour tea and water, set up the dishes and chopsticks, and put the dishes on the table one by one, and I couldn't help but swallow my saliva. From the cold to now, I don't seem to have eaten much in the past few days, and I'm really a little hungry!
After eating, we flagged down a taxi - I wanted to take the bus, but Xiao Ting was not happy and had to obey her. Looking at the number of the meter jumping up, I can only sigh: this is the difference between being a boss and being an employee!
When I got out of the car, I waved the oncoming dust with my hand and said, "That's it, the big iron gate!" ”
The large iron door of the recycling bin was open, and several figures walked inside. As soon as we entered, a yellow-skinned uncle yelled at us, "Hey, who are you? ”
"We're looking for someone, and we're staying in the old man's house here."
"Oh, you mean the old king!" The uncle said lightly: "He's dead!" ”
"What?!" Xiao Ting and I said in unison.
Xue Chen stepped forward and asked, "When did it happen?" ”
"Just last afternoon!" The uncle waved his hand, a little impatient, "...... Let's go, we've got a lot more to do! ”
The old king's head is dead?! I remembered Tian Xiu's disappearance yesterday afternoon, and my heart became flustered - when I left the hospital the day before yesterday, the doctor clearly said that there was no big problem, why did he just leave?! I began to regret that I hadn't come earlier, and I even regretted not telling him about Tian Xiu who had been with him for many years......
Xiao Ting supported me and didn't speak, but looked at me very distressed.
"Are you his family?" Another dark-skinned and lean uncle shouted: "Let's try our luck at the hospital, maybe I'll be sent to the crematorium later!" ”
Crematorium! I suddenly came to my senses: "Let's go, let's go to the hospital, maybe ......" Because there were other people, I didn't continue, turned around and walked quickly, I think now I still have time to see the old king for the last time.
We hurried to the hospital service desk, and Xue Chen stepped forward and asked, "Nurse, please check if there was an old man in his seventies who died here yesterday afternoon?" ”
The nurse immediately reacted: "It was ...... at three o'clock yesterday afternoon" She clicked the mouse and asked, "Old man Wang Guizhong, right?" ”
Xue Chen nodded and asked eagerly, "Where is he now?" We can...... Go see him? ”
The nurse was a little wary: "Who are you?" ”
I walked over and replied, "He has no relatives with him, and we sent him the day before yesterday!" ”
"That's right......" The nurse thought about it, took out a form, and said, "Then you fill out the form, and I'll find someone to take you there." ”
