On the third floor of Guangyuan shopping mall, the children's clothing business is not very prosperous, firstly, the customer flow has declined somewhat, and secondly, because the homogenization is very serious, and there is no brand premium, so the Wu family's children's clothing store does not have any competitive advantage.

One day when the business ended, Xiao Jiacheng and his mother Lou Fang closed the shop together.

Because it was a Saturday, the closing time of the store was also postponed to close to 10 o'clock.

Autumn is already chilly in the evening, and in the early hours of the morning, the temperature drops even further.

Xiao Jiacheng wore a thick coat and went to the underground parking lot with his mother, and the mother and son entered a silver-white car, which was about 100,000 yuan and had been driving for seven or eight years.

This was bought when the Wu family was doing business booming.

Xiao Jiacheng did not sit in the co-pilot, but sat in the back seat, and put a thick cushion under his buttocks, so that he could fasten the seat belt, instead of directly strangling the seat belt on his face.

When Lou Fang drove the car out of the parking lot and onto the road outside the mall, Xiao Jiacheng immediately sat up straight, tilted his head high, and looked at the shop across the street that said "Tingwu Wood Carving Shop".

It can be seen that Shen Xing has already closed the door, and at this moment the direction is dim, and there is no light.

Xiao Jiacheng's eyes stared at it reluctantly for a long time, until the car went away, and then he had to withdraw his gaze and sit without saying a word.

Lou Fang didn't see this scene, but concentrated on driving the car, and after about half an hour, the mother and son returned to the community, parked the car in the parking lot, and returned to their home on the second floor of the garden house B19 together.

At this time, the room was quiet, and although the lights were on, there was no sound.

Because the mother and son had already eaten a boxed lunch when they were in the mall, and there was a father and grandfather at home, the two usually ate something casually.

Lou Fang glanced at the kitchen, the light was on inside, but the bottom of the cabinet was neat, and the table top where the blade was placed was clean and slippery, and there was nothing.

Apparently no one was making anything to eat, and perhaps, they ordered takeout.

At this moment, Xiao Jiacheng, who had changed his shoes, made a quiet gesture to his mother.

Lou Fang was slightly stunned, looked in the direction of his finger, and saw his grandfather sitting alone on the sofa, looking at the newspaper without saying a word, and they didn't even raise their heads when they came back.

At the same time, Lou Fang noticed that on the edge of the ashtray on the left hand side of her grandfather, there was also a half-burned but extinguished cigarette.

On the right-hand side is a cup of strong tea, but the tea has long been cold, and there is not a trace of heat coming out.

I don't know how long Grandpa has been sitting here, but by all indications, it's clear that the time won't be short.

Xiao Jiacheng walked to the living room and called "grandpa".

The other party still sat there staring at the newspaper, did not answer, did not look up, as if he had sat down directly.

Xiao Jiacheng suddenly felt inexplicably frightened in his heart, he cautiously glanced at his grandfather's wooden cheeks, quickened his pace into his bedroom, and quickly closed the door.

Lou Fang opened her mouth and asked, "Dad, have you eaten?" ”

The old man still didn't look up, as if he hadn't heard at all.

Lou Fang moved a little closer, glanced at the newspaper he was holding in his hand, and found that this page of the newspaper was empty, and there was no printed word.

I don't know what the old man has been looking at.

Lou Fang hesitated for a moment, looked at the indifferent old man, and spoke again: "Dad, what about Wu Lang?" ”

The old man's hands holding the newspaper moved slightly, and when he put it down, the newspaper slowly moved downward, revealing his eyes.

He didn't look at Lou Fang, but squinted silently, looking in the direction of the bathroom.

"He's in the bathroom?" Lou Fang asked.

The old man did not answer, but slowly lifted the newspaper again, shielded his eyes, and stared at the blank page, still again.

At this moment, Lou Fang also had a feeling of inner worry, the room was very quiet, and she was talking alone at the moment, no one answered, and the old man's movements were very weird, which made her panic.

Walking towards the bathroom, Lou Fang called "Wu Lang" outside the door, but there was no response inside.

She glanced back at the old man and found that the other party was still the same cold look.

Then I knocked on the bathroom door, but there was still no sound coming from inside.

Lou Fang tried to twist the doorknob and found that there was no anti-lock, so she could twist it open and go in directly.

She immediately twisted the lock and opened it.

I saw my husband Wu Lang sitting on the toilet, holding the newspaper in both hands, motionless.

Seeing this scene, Lou Fang chuckled in her heart, and felt even more inexplicably panicked.

This...... What happened to the father and son?

She walked in briskly, enduring the faint stench wafting from the bathroom.

"Wu Lang, how long have you been in? Didn't you hear me call you? While walking over, Lou Fang said, "Why don't you press the toilet flush switch?" ”

The other party still did not respond, still quietly reading the newspaper.

Lou Fang was startled and snatched Wu Lang's newspaper over, but Wu Lang grabbed it tightly with both hands, and the edges on both sides of the newspaper were torn.

For the old man outside, Lou Fang didn't dare to do this, but for her husband, she didn't need to let the other party keep this shocking and inexplicable state.

The newspaper was snatched, Wu Lang suddenly raised his head, and his expression changed: "Huh? When did you come? How did you just come in? I'm still! ”

"What? I've been calling you for a long time! "Lou Fang is angry.

Wu Lang smiled, "No, I didn't hear it, I'm sorry." Get out of here, I'll wipe my ass and come out! ”

As he spoke, he pulled the paper.

Lou Fang felt that something was wrong, bent down and touched Wu Lang's thigh, and found that it was cold.

"How long have you been in the bathroom?" She was surprised: "My legs are already cold!" ”

Wu Lang shook his head a little confused.

Lou Fang immediately noticed that the newspaper that fell on the ground was still open with the blank page.

"No, no, come and help me, my leg is numb!"

At this time, Wu Lang suddenly snorted, couldn't stand up for a while, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to his wife.

Lou Fang helped him slowly walk out of the bathroom and sat down on the sofa in the living room.

Wu Lang said to his father, who was sitting there motionless: "Dad, take a break, you've been watching for an afternoon!" ”

The old man didn't move.

Wu Lang's face was worried, rubbing his numb legs, and looking back at his wife, who was also worried about this scene.

"Tomorrow we will change the hospital for examination, and if it really doesn't work, we will take my father to the hospital in Heshan City." Wu Lang proposed.

Lou Fang frowned, nodded slightly, and didn't say anything.

"Let's get something to eat, I haven't eaten." Wu Lang said.

"It's so late that you haven't eaten?" Lou Fang's face was full of surprise, and then she glanced at her husband, "Dad has become like this, and you don't let people save snacks!" ”

"Daddy!" The door of the small bedroom was opened, and Xiao Jiacheng, who had just hid in the house, ran out and got into Wu Lang's arms.

Wu Lang laughed heartily, picked up his son, and said, "Attention, don't touch Dad's feet, Dad's feet are numb!" ”

"I'll rub it for you." Xiao Jiacheng intimately pinched his thigh.

Wu Lang smiled with a smile on his face, turned his head to look at his father, and reminded again, "Dad, don't look at it, take a rest." There's nothing in this newspaper, what's there to see? ”

Xiao Jiacheng took advantage of his father's side to give him confidence, and quickly glanced at the blank newspaper.
