Chapter 42: The Worriedman by the Sink
The man sat alone on the edge of the dark sink, his back was bent and his head was almost elbow-down, so his little belly bulged severely. The legs also hung softly from the edge of the dark gray concrete floor.
'What to do?' is about to be discovered by them, what can i do to maintain it, this matter must not let Xiao Heng know, if he misunderstands something, it will be troublesome. The man thought.
The place where he sat was a mechanical room, not a very high-end one, just a small cement space, and directly in front of the man, a large, round machine that looked like an assembly of parts inside a watch protruded, rusted in some places, as if it hadn't been oiled in years.
But in reality, the machine went very smoothly and never went wrong. Men often come to sit in front of it, recalling their own craftsmanship, at that time, he was the master's most important apprentice, although young, but the work is quick and quality and quantity.
The first time he went out alone with his master, the master wanted to marry his niece to him, but at that time, he did not have a house and had no plans to buy a house, so he gave up because he had to support a younger brother. Many years later, he could still recall the girl's beautiful face.
She was the prettiest girl he had ever seen, with long hair and big curly waves at the ends, which he loved even though it wasn't very popular at the time. Even if the girl's big eyes were full of disdain, he didn't care.
He is such a person, he is always too talkative, and sometimes, he would rather give a little than make others feel sad. The master is also willing to introduce her to her girl because of her good temper and hard work.
'Alas! The man sighed and buried his head lower.
The sink underneath had long since been abandoned, and there was nothing but dirt, and the man's feet dangled slightly above the dirt, just like when he was young, he sat next to his master to rest and eat.
Last year, he went home once, but his younger brother didn't know which city he was working in, and he had long since stopped coming home. The master passed away, and the girl who had a relationship with him was also like a stranger to him.
The man didn't dare to stay for a long time, for fear that his affairs would affect his family, so he didn't go to his younger brother, but could only return here with regrets.
Fortunately, Xiao Heng is here, he always knows his mind so well. The man thought.
He knew that Xiao Heng was not his son, and he also knew that Xiao Heng was very attached to his mother, and he knew that he had no way to leave this place where he had made mistakes.
For fifteen years, the man didn't know how he came over, for the sake of the original impulse, he stayed up from a thin young man in the ice and snow until his temples were white, what was it for? Men are getting more and more confused.
For love? He was never a romantic lover. For the sake of atonement? He also didn't think that what he had done all these years had anything to do with atonement, and the man felt that he would not atone for his sins until he died.
It's not about scaring yourself, it's not paranoia, that's what a man thinks, because of that, he has a house, a wife, children, and then everything here is managed by him, and so is money. What kind of atonement is this!
Instead of this, it is better to turn yourself in and go to prison for a few years to reform. At least this will give him peace of mind for the rest of his life, it doesn't matter if no one gives him a job, as long as he has the craft, he can also support him by working in the city.
Now, the worrying thing is coming again, those live chickens bought in the market originally wanted to be raised at home for a period of time, and then eaten slowly in the future, and there can still be eggs. As a result, it was a waste for that man to kill and do something terrible, and that man's thoughts had been strange since that incident fifteen years ago.
On the surface, she is good at everything, but in fact, she has gone crazy, and this matter, only men know.
'Alas! The man sighed a second time, and his heart grew heavier.
It was now afternoon, and the people in the ruins had not yet returned, so he had to go to his room to rest for a while under the pretext that his lumbar spine was not good, and finally had some quiet time. However, as I walked, I didn't know why I crossed the flyover to get here.
This place is always good, and the old man will listen to his heart quietly and will never reject him because it is boring.
The man thought of his favorite family again, the little Horror who was not pretty, but was very smart, "No matter what, Horror is the last person I want to protect, even if it is for her, I will stick to this family for the rest of my life." ’
As long as he was there, that person's madness would not affect the horror, and the man thought: 'When there is a chance, let Xiao Heng leave with the horror, let them live a happy life, and then he will be silent in that black, blurred place, and before he dies, he must look at the scenery that his eyes can't see.'
'Alas! When the third sigh came out, the man knew he couldn't stay any longer, so he got up and prepared to leave the place and go back to the midst of everyone.
Before he could take a single step, the huge circular mechanical disc made a 'click' sound like a break.
The man followed the prestige in an instant, and a familiar figure appeared in front of him......
"Why are you here?" The man asked, with no fear or consternation on his face.
The man in front of the circular mechanical disc did not answer, but approached him step by step, and finally, the calloused hands covered the man's mouth, as if to signal him not to speak.
The man closed his mouth and looked at the familiar person, and an inexplicable uneasiness spread in his heart.
'Why should I be upset about someone who has lived together for so many years?' The man didn't understand his own mind, he was thinking, and his eyes began to become confused and illusory. Because the person in front of him was crying at the same time.
The man lifted his broad palm, the fingers on which were thick and short, but full of warmth, caressing the other's face.
"Don't cry... So many years have passed. ”
"Shhhh Don't talk...... I'll be watching you here. ”
"Look at me for what?"
"Watch you enjoy the boundless scenery, watch you go to the same world as your father."
“!!!”
As the minutes ticked by, the man could no longer make a sound, and the weeping figure had long since left the edge of the sink, and the helpless, anxious mood drifted away with the wind to the end of the never-ending sky......
