Chapter 151: Where Are They
But she didn't answer me, but turned and went about her business silently.
But when I mentioned her parents, she seemed visibly surprised, but said nothing.
......"I don't want her to ignore me like that."
"Her father is in the back mountain." She said, pointing in the direction behind the house, and I quickly looked through the window, only to see that there was a forest behind the mountain, and there was no one in sight.
"Her father......" I swallowed hard, "over there?" β
She nodded, and then ignored me no matter how much I asked.
I had no choice but to take my schoolbag and go back to the mountain, but after walking for a while, I felt that something was wrong.
The back mountain is really a barren mountain, with nothing but the occasional grave and a large wooded area.
Does her father really live here alone? And what about her mother? I'm feeling very panicked now, and even though it's still daytime, the eerie feeling seems to have enveloped me.
The further I went, the cooler I felt, and I tightened my clothes, but my cold hands were a little disobedient.
After walking for a while, I suddenly saw in the distance what seemed to be a thatched house over there, and my heart suddenly became a little nervous.
Could this be the ...... What about Meiling's home? But I feel more and more strange in my heart, it seems that Zheyu and Meiling's families are still a lot worse, why can the two of them be together?
Is this the legendary 'true love'?
The closer I got to the house, the more goosebumps I felt on my body.
"Is it Meiling's family? I was her classmate. I knocked on the door and asked, but no one in there answered.
"Classmates?" Just as I was about to knock on the door, a cold voice suddenly came from above my head, which startled me!
As soon as I looked up, I saw a man standing on the roof, looking at me condescendingly, and I couldn't see his expression clearly.
I subconsciously took a step back, "That'...... I'm Meiling's classmate, may I ask you are her ......"
"Daddy." He interrupted me, but I was relieved to finally find her father.
But...... I saw him jump off the roof all of a sudden, wearing shabby clothes on his body, and he didn't know how long he hadn't taken a shower, and his body exuded a strange smell, which was worse than the room just now.
"That...... I have something I want to tell you, it's about Meiling. I said cautiously, looking at his expression.
But except for his expression slightly loosened when he heard the name Meiling, he kept a straight face the whole time.
But he didn't speak, but kept looking at me, a pair of dirty eyes staring straight into my eyes.
My back was a little numb when he saw me, so I quickly looked away.
But what I didn't notice was...... A strange smile slowly jumped into the corner of his mouth.
"Come in." When he had finished speaking, he turned and went into the house, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
Hopefully he'll be able to bring Meiling home and bury her here, at least that's where she was born.
"That...... Uncle, Meiling she has already ...... "I didn't know how to speak, but the man just looked at me stunned, as if he didn't care what I was saying.
Click-
He locked the door behind me, and I was shocked, and although I didn't know why he was doing this, I suddenly had a bad feeling in my heart.
In a confined space...... I was a little scared subconsciously, so I could only silently persuade myself in my heart that this was Meiling's father......
"She's dead......" I said carefully, but his expression didn't have much emotion in it except for a slight loosening, so I couldn't understand what he was thinking right now.
He just looked at me straight as if he could see something in me.
"Uncle?" I called him, but he still didn't respond, "Uncle? β
"Oh, I see." He said suddenly, nodded pretending to be calm, and then stopped looking at me.
But I felt even more strange in my heart, could it be that Meiling's death was a trivial matter? Why is he so calm?
"Uncle! Meiling, she is now dead because of a murder case! How can you ......" I said a little unwillingly, how could he have such an attitude towards his daughter?
This is something I didn't expect before I came, you know, I figured out how to persuade people, but now......
It doesn't look like it's needed at all.
"I see." He still said that sentence and nodded faintly, as if all he heard was ...... Today's cabbage price seems to have dropped......
I was a little unwilling, but ......
"Uncle, what are you ...... Not sad at all, right? Meiling her eternal ...... Leave us! I sat down in front of him and said.
He looked at me and nodded, and then said slowly, "I know she's dead, and then what?" β
He asked me if I was up, and I was immediately angry.
He also asked me what to do? Didn't you bring her back?
But when I said this, I was surprised to see a disdainful smile on the corner of the man's mouth.
"Bring it back?" He didn't hide his disdain at all, "Since you're dead, bury it outside, and the family has no money to do it." β
I chuckled in my heart, choking on a sentence in my throat and not knowing how to say it, how could he be to his own daughter...... Such an attitude? Is this really a father?
If it weren't for the vague look of Meiling on his face, I really had some doubts about whether he was his biological father.
"I'll give it to you, bring her back." He suddenly raised his head and said, I was slightly stunned, could this be......
"If you have money, bring her back, I see that you still like her, and you refuse to spend this money?" One of his words completely blinded me, why did it suddenly pull on me, and ...... Is he fancy my money?
I don't have any other feelings in my heart except disgust, and there is no one else in Meiling who has such a father.
"Okay, I'll bring it, I hope you can treat her well." I said in a fit of rage, and stood up to get out of here.
But all at once he stood up in front of me and blocked my way.
"Since you're here, it's getting late now, so why don't you stay here and set off tomorrow morning." He proposed, but I immediately wanted to refuse.
"Excuse me...... It was just an uncle...... It's so sad but there's no money......" he said with a sudden bow of his head and a trembling voice.
He's ...... My heart suddenly became a little worried.
"I'm todayβ"
"Please, stay here with my uncle...... I'm so sad now......" he said suddenly, grabbing my arm and choking me to the point of pain.
I struggled a few times to no avail, so I had to give up, it seems that he didn't want me to leave today, but...... I always felt that there was something strange about it.
But there were only two rooms in this small house, one was a utility room, and I had to grieve there.
Although he said that he was sad, after I decided to stay, he changed back to the same indifferent appearance as before, as if sadness was just my own delusion.
Fortunately, I brought a power bank today, so the phone is still fully charged, but the signal in this village is not very good, I only hope to be able to get through Xiao Li's phone when there is something.
In the middle of the night, the unheated room was even colder, and I cowered in the corner, trying to keep my hands from being so cold.
Knock Knock Knock β
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the utility room, and I was startled and quickly got up from the ground.
"Do you want my uncle to come with you, I'm afraid." He was talking outside, but suddenly I felt a chill.
"It's okay, I'm next door, don't worry." I quickly refused, I didn't want to stay in a room with such a strange man, this room smelled enough.
I don't want any more stinking smells, I'm going to break down.
After that, there was no sound outside, and I thought he was leaving, and slowly sat down in the corner.
Thinking about it, I feel that today is a bit incredible, I was still in M County during the day, but now I am already in a cabin in the woods.
I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly felt a little panicked, so I had to go out to the toilet.
But the toilets in the village are all outside, and I don't see any of them around, can it be said that they are ...... Solve it in place?
I suddenly felt a chill, carefully opened a crack in the door, and looked outβ
There was no longer the man outside, so I quickly walked out and opened the door and went out.
It was colder outside than inside, and the wind was still a bit biting, so I hurried back to my room and locked the utility door.
Fortunately, the man didn't come back, and I was secretly relieved, although it was Meiling's father, but ...... He still has strange feelings everywhere.
But he's not a ghost, otherwise my bones would have reacted, but he's really weird.
I went back to the place I just went to sit down, but I felt that the cardboard box on the ground was a little moved, could it be that it was deviated when I just stood up?
I continued to close my eyes and recuperate, and secretly decided in my heart to leave here early tomorrow morning, especially this man.
"I'm here." At this moment, a strange voice suddenly came from behind me, and my heart was startled, and I immediately jumped up from the ground!
When I turned around, I saw a head suddenly peeking out of a pair of miscellaneous objects behind me, right behind me on the ground where I was just sitting!
My heart was pounding, and I didn't slow down for a long time, but I saw him slowly come out of the pile of clutter, and then the smell of the whole room became even more unpleasant.
"You...... What do you want to do?! I subconsciously began to retreat, but the man approached me step by step!
I was horrified, even if it was a phone call...... No one will come to my rescue! I suddenly felt powerless, but ......
"Uncle is a little scared......" He slowly raised his hands, his sharp nails hadn't been trimmed for a long time, and they were even more weird in the moonlight.
I grabbed the paper talisman in my hand, and although I didn't know if it worked, it ......
Whoosh - the moment I was distracted, two of his claws grabbed at me! I was startled and instinctively dodged to the left!
"Hahaha! You can't run away! He burst out laughing out loud, all the more eerie in the quiet of the night.
"What the hell do you want to do!?" If the other party wasn't Meiling's father, I would never stay here.
"What for...... Haha! He laughed out loud, as if he hadn't heard me, and then he lunged at me before I was looking, and I was caught in the arm without even looking!
I saw that a long opening immediately appeared in the thick coat I was wearing, and the cotton inside flew out!
He didn't seem to give up, and he flew towards my face all at once! I subconsciously tried to hide, but I still left a bloody mark on my face!
There was a burning pain on my face, and as soon as I touched it, I felt a hot sensation running down my face.
"Are you crazy!?" I shouted, but he didn't know what he was doing, and he lunged at me.
"I'm not crazy! Who would dare to say I'm crazy!? Who the hell is it!? He shouted frantically, as if he had finally heard me.
