Chapter 44: Uncle Zhang's grandson
"Refrigerator? Or is it a freezer? I said in disbelief.
"Yes, it's just that this neighborhood is so big, where will it be?" Xiaohe said as she searched the house, but unfortunately there was no refrigerator in the house.
"This house doesn't have a refrigerator, why did it choose to appear here, could it be that the family knows that its body is there?" Xiaohe wondered.
"Is it possible that because we moved in, the boy thinks that we are the only ones in the whole neighborhood who will help it?" I said.
Hearing this, Xiaohe nodded, "There is such a possibility!" ”
"By the way, didn't the teacher in the admissions office today say that the doorman's grandson surnamed Zhang is missing, could that boy be Uncle Zhang's grandson?" I suddenly remembered the teacher's words and said to Xiaohe.
Hearing this, Xiaohe's eyes lit up, and then said: "Very likely, the boy can only remind us that it needs help, but he can't directly tell us where its body is, the new city in the west of the city is so big, we can't search every house, it is not only troublesome, but also extremely dangerous, we can only go here tonight, and wait tomorrow to go to Uncle Zhang to see if we can get any clues!" ”
I nodded, and I suddenly realized that staying with Xiaohe, although it was a very difficult and dangerous thing, was very comfortable.
After leaving the thirteenth floor and returning to the twelfth floor, I stayed awake all night until it was very late at night, when I was very sleepy.
I was woken up by the image of a boy's body hidden in the refrigerator, it was already dawn, I thought about it too late yesterday, and even though I was asleep, I was awakened by a nightmare.
After a simple wash with Xiaohe, we went out, and we planned to go to Uncle Zhang's place.
One is to see if there is a relationship between the little boy and Uncle Zhang, and the other is because of the black shadow that appeared in Uncle Zhang's duty room.
The supermarket downstairs also opened, and the supermarket owner was still sitting motionless on the chair, thinking he was asleep from a distance.
Walking on the road, I saw a few people for the first time today, but those people were in a hurry, and they had already walked over before I could even see their faces clearly.
came directly to the duty room at the gate, and Uncle Zhang was in it at this time.
Seeing the two of us coming, Uncle Zhang beckoned me to sit down.
"How are you two staying these days? Did anything strange happen? Uncle Zhang asked enthusiastically.
"Strange thing, we did encounter it!" Xiaohe found a bench and sat down and started chatting with Uncle Zhang, while I looked around the duty room to see if I could find anything unusual.
"What? Tell me about it! Uncle Zhang was very surprised, but when he turned his head and thought about it, it was really normal to encounter strange things in such a place, if he didn't encounter strange things for two consecutive nights, it would be abnormal?
"That's right, the night before yesterday, last night we all heard a very noisy sound from upstairs, and it was very late at that time, the first night we ignored it, but on the second night it was getting louder and louder, and it became more and more noisy, and we finally couldn't bear it, so we planned to go upstairs to remind it!" Xiaohe said half-truthfully.
"And then, did you go upstairs and encounter strange things?" Uncle Zhang was surprised when he heard this.
"Yes, we saw a boy who was seven or eight years old, but we were sure it wasn't human!" Xiaohe narrowed his eyes and carefully observed Uncle Zhang's expression.
Sure enough, when he heard the seven or eight-year-old boy, Uncle Zhang's expression changed, and he became very anxious.
"What kind of boy, do you see what he looks like?" Uncle Zhang asked urgently.
"See, it's this boy!"
I looked around the duty room and didn't see anything unusual, just a picture on the wall, so I walked over.
There are four people in the photo, namely Uncle Zhang, a middle-aged couple, and a boy, and the boy in the photo is the one we saw on the thirteenth floor last night.
I pointed to the photo and said to Uncle Zhang, although it was very painful for him to be told in this way, I still felt that the long pain was better than the short pain, and instead of letting Uncle Zhang wait for his grandson here every day, it was better to let him know the truth and let him stay away from this place this morning.
My voice was very calm, but Uncle Zhang bounced up directly from the chair, and then stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what he was thinking.
"You say, you see my grandson?" After a while, Uncle Zhang slowly spoke, at this time he had realized something, or he may have guessed it a long time ago, but he was unwilling to accept that fact, but was willing to live in the fantasy of self-numbness and always looking forward to his grandson coming back one day!
"Yes, he's dead!" I didn't intend to hide anything, and I didn't need to beat around the bush and just say it.
Finally, Uncle Zhang couldn't support his body anymore and fell back into the chair, while tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
Uncle Zhang, who has always been very enthusiastic, unloaded everything at this moment, and he was a little defeated at this moment.
"Impossible, impossible, my grandson has been missing for months, you have only moved here for two days, you can't see him, I wander around the community every night, just hoping to find him, but after such a long time, I haven't seen him, how can you?" Uncle Zhang suddenly shouted as if he was crazy.
Uncle Zhang's words caught my attention, and I immediately asked, "Was it you in the duty room at about eight o'clock last night?" ”
At this time, Uncle Zhang was at his most vulnerable, so the answers he generally got when he asked him questions at this time couldn't be faked.
"What have you done to my grandson, why do you say that he is dead, he cannot die! You must be lying to me, you haven't even met him. ”
"Someone told you about this, he asked you to lie to me, you want to drive me crazy, impossible, absolutely impossible, hahaha!"
Uncle Zhang cried and laughed like crazy, looking quite scary.
"Then look at this, and I can tell you clearly, your grandson is dead, you don't believe you can stay in our room tonight, and I'll take you to see your grandson when the sound comes from upstairs, but I can't guarantee whether he will come tonight!"
I took out the note from my pocket that I had put away yesterday, and the words of the little boy were written on the back.
Seeing the handwriting on the note, Uncle Zhang was a little stiff.
"People can't be resurrected after death, the only thing we can do is to get him out of the sea of suffering, you haven't seen him in pain!" Xiaohe looked at Uncle Zhang with a solemn expression and said.
