Chapter 177: Midnight Theater
"Grandpa, I'm leaving!" At the gate of the villa, a little girl with a pink carving is waving goodbye to her grandfather.
"Go, be obedient at grandma's house, don't be naughty, and ......" The white-haired old man waved in response to the girl, and told him uneasily.
"Also, you have to finish your weekend homework before you can go to play, and you have to go to bed before 8 o'clock at night, otherwise you won't grow up! I know it all, dear grandpa! The little girl replied loudly, and grimaced at the old man.
She would go to her grandmother's house every week, and every time before she left, her grandfather would say a bunch of the same things to her, and now she could memorize them.
Then the little girl turned around and grunted, climbed into the back seat of her Cayenne, picked up a large panda doll, and then grabbed its paws and waved it outward.
"This kid doesn't know the inferiority of the elder and the young at all." Next to the car door, a young woman in her thirties smiled bitterly and said to the old man, "Dad, you can't spoil her like this in the future, look at her, it's almost lawless." ”
As she spoke, she glared at the little girl in the car, but the girl did not show weakness, shaking her head and sticking out her tongue at her.
"I know, I promise not to spoil her in the future." The old man said with a smile, but the doting affection in this tone could be heard by everyone.
The young woman sighed helplessly, her father-in-law is good at everything, but he spoils the child too much, and it is not good for the child's growth if it goes on like this. When her husband comes back, she should let him persuade her father-in-law.
With a low throttle sound, Cayenne slowly drove away and finally disappeared around the corner of the neighborhood road.
The old man, who had been smiling at the door, put away his smile and walked slowly towards the villa.
Passing through the entrance and coming to the living room, the old man sat down on the sofa with a blank face, and then shouted angrily at a young man who appeared in the living room at some point: "Kneel! ”
The man who was already trembling under his drink, as if he had no bones, fell directly to the ground, lowered his head and did not dare to look at the old man.
The middle-aged woman who was still sitting on the sofa on the other side saw this scene and got up as if she wanted to say something, but under the old man's glare, she sat back down, her mouth squirmed a few times, but in the end she still couldn't say anything.
"How many months is that woman pregnant?" The old man said with a calm face.
At this time, he didn't have the kindness he had when he said goodbye to his granddaughter just now, and he only had a face full of indifference and a little hideous.
"Eight...... It's been eight months. The man still didn't dare to look up, but replied no-no.
"Smack!"
The sound of his palm slamming his cheek suddenly sounded, but it was the old man who stood up and slapped the man in the face.
The man was directly flipped over, but he still didn't dare to make any moves, just covered his cheeks with his hands, and lay there cowardly, letting a wisp of blood continue to slide from the corner of his mouth to the floor.
And the middle-aged woman finally couldn't help it, she screamed, rushed to the man's side like crazy, while caressing his face in distress, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, and yelling at the old man with red eyes: "You are crazy, aren't you just a woman, send it away, why are you beating children like this?" ”
"Isn't it just a woman? What you think is simple, if this matter is known by Jinqiu, I will see how you clean it up! The old man's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was full of anger, "Our family's theater and troupe can only be supported by the funds injected by the Jinqiu family, once this bastard raises women outside, and the news of a child leaks out, our family will be completely finished!" ”
He turned his head to look at the man, and a pair of eyes even bulged out because they were too wide: "I only give you a choice, deal with this woman immediately, no matter what means you use, in short, you must not let Jinqiu know about this, do you understand!" ”
Listening to the old man's ruthless words, the man's face flashed with anger, and he raised his head to look at the old man. Three-two
He opened his mouth as if he wanted to refute something, but as soon as he touched the old man's cold and even slightly murderous eyes, the courage that the man had finally mustered disappeared in an instant, and he who had been living in the shadow of the old man since he was a child could not raise the idea of resisting at all.
"Do you know your theater, your troupe, and our mother and son in your eyes? Knowing this, the middle-aged woman who was kneeling beside the man ...... couldn't help but shout, but she couldn't say it anymore.
I saw that the old man at this time suddenly turned his head to her, with a hysterical cruelty!
His eyes were already blood-red, the bulging eyeballs were filled with madness and murderous aura, and the old face had been distorted to the point that it looked even more terrifying than the hanged ghost, and the woman had no doubt that if she dared to say another word, she would definitely be killed by him on the spot.
She hurriedly lowered her head, tremblingly hugged her son and stopped talking, and at the same time secretly regretted in her heart that she had almost violated her husband's taboo without choosing what to say.
On the other side, the approaching crazy old man looked at his wife and son with a selective gaze, and a muffled voice that only he could hear was rolling in his throat: "No one is allowed to play the idea of the theater!" Whoever tries to touch it will die! ”
There was a dead silence in the room, until the old man went upstairs alone, and the mother and son in the living room still sat in the living room and did not dare to move.
Sunlight filtered in through the slightly darker glass windows, reflecting a gray glow on the walls, and instead of bringing the slightest warmth, it added a cold to the marrow of the room that was already full of oppression and madness.
And as time went by, as the night fell inexorably, the coldness became thicker and thicker, and in the end, it seemed to freeze people!
The old man sleeping in the study was also woken up by the ice, he frowned and looked at the central air conditioning display, only to find that it had been extinguished at some point.
The old man sat up and pressed the light switch next to the bed, but after pressing it several times, the overhead light did not respond.
Blackout?
The old man thought, and then began to shout, "Yafen! Yafen! ”
It's just that only his voice keeps echoing in the entire dark room, and beyond that, there is a dead silence.
"Xiaoyu! Xiao Yu! The old man shouted loudly again unwillingly, but there was still no response, and it seemed that he was the only one left in the huge villa.
What's going on? Did the two of them sleep to death? Why didn't there be any reaction at all! The old man was already angry, and he was uncomfortable from the cold, and his heart was already surging with anger at this time, and he lifted the quilt and prepared to settle accounts with his wife.
However, as soon as his hand touched the quilt, he froze, and along with his hand, his body froze.
He maintained the posture of lifting the quilt with one hand, and his eyes looked directly at the open space in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the study.
At some point, the curtains had been opened, and the bright moonlight was shining on the ground through the window, leaving a cold silver frost, and in the center of the silver frost stood a figure.
The figure stood in the middle of the moonlight, clad in a robe, motionless, like a puppet.
She turned her back to the old man, her slender right leg was slightly bent, her left leg followed closely behind, her toes touched the ground, a pair of white and tender hands arched in front of her chest, and her thin fingers were like orchids.
It's just that this scene, which was supposed to bring people a beautiful audio-visual enjoyment, seems so weird at this moment.
The stage built by the moonlight, the still dancers who look like sculptures, the dark auditorium, and the only audience who is tightly held by the darkness.
The midnight study became the theater of the midnight, a silent, cold, and lifeless theater.
