CHAPTER XIX
The association agreed that they should reach out to the neighbors around the Zhang sisters.
After Huo Wei received the news, he took Su Chong out of the eleventh floor, and the two went to Zhang Yun's house together.
He told Su Chong in the car: "Pay attention to your attitude, we have no right to interrogate, don't scare people." ”
Su Chong already knew this truth, and he whispered: "I understand, but it is a bit difficult to deal with neighbors." ”
Especially if someone has died recently, people will always be taboo, Su Chong leaned back in his seat and confessed to Huo Wei in advance: "Say hello to you, run over, you may not be able to ask anything." ”
The community is still the same, they came early, and there were a few grandparents who came back from shopping for vegetables on the road, Su Chong had never been here, and followed Huo Wei all the way, looking curiously all the way.
They originally wanted to start from the opposite door of Zhang Yun's house, but suddenly heard someone at the staircase speak: "Young man, it's you again." ”
When they looked back, an aunt poked her head out from the steps below: "The last time I saw you, you and a little fat man, hey, are you here to find Zhang Yun?" ”
Seeing Huo Wei nodded, the aunt continued: "Something happened to their family, she is still in the hospital, and now there is no one at home, you can come back another day." ”
Seeing that she seemed to know something, Su Chong hurriedly asked her, "Auntie, do you know their family?" ”
"I know, why don't you know each other upstairs and downstairs," the aunt asked carefully, "Hey, are you policemen?" ”
"We're not, we just want to ask."
The aunt thought for a while when she heard this, but she wouldn't be so nervous if she wasn't a police officer, so she beckoned to them: "Oh, then you come down, I'll tell you when you come down." ”
Auntie's family lives on the fourth floor, she just came back from grocery shopping, two bags of cloth bags are still at her feet, she picked up things and walked slowly, and whispered to them: "Zhang Yun usually goes to school hard, and she comes back every day when it's dark, and her sister asks me to take it, and I see that little girl as my own granddaughter," she sighed, and her voice was a little lower, "The poor little girl is going to heaven now, and she also told me that she wants to eat braised eggplant when she comes back from the midterm exam." ”
Su Chong heard the sound of his aunt walking, and saw a handful of things hanging on the keychain on her waist, the old man believed in everything, the cross was mixed with a peach wood pendant to ward off evil spirits, he walked a few steps faster, and went over to help her carry a bag: "Auntie, you mourn." ”
The aunt glanced at Su Chong, gave him the lighter one, and said, "Her sister is usually busy, and she can't see anyone on Saturdays and Sundays. ”
"I'm going to church for a service, so I'll bring that girl with me," the aunt walked to a rusty iron door, took out the key, and opened the door, "She's the youngest in our church, and sings hymns with a bunch of old women......
Huo Wei and Su Chong smelled the smell of medicine coming from her house outside the door, and the aunt may not have the habit of opening the window, the living room was a little dirty and the window was closed, and the light came in through the window, illuminating the house gray.
Su Chong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is there a church near the community?" ”
"Yes, there are several college students who have come to the church recently, and they have sent us Bibles to read at home." She gestured to a few books on the cupboard.
On the cabinet was a posthumous photo of an old gentleman, with the statue of Guanyin and the statue of Our Lady on both sides of the black and white photo, and the Bible was placed in front of the photo.
"I took two more books, but the two children said no, you can take the books, just two people, it is good for the body to be put at home."
The two of them came to visit, and they were inexplicably given two Bibles, Su Chong took the book and said, "Auntie, Zhang Mo's matter ......"
"Ahh Zhang Mo's girl, very obedient, she can't do her homework after school, I asked her to call her sister, I have her sister Zhang Yun's number, she doesn't ask, she knows that her sister is busy," Auntie rubbed her eyes very quickly, "She took it to the church alone, let her brothers and sisters teach her, and come back to eat after finishing her homework." ”
With that, she turned around and went into the room, sniffed her nose with her back to them, and when she came out, she looked as usual, and took a few oranges in her hands: "Do you eat fruits?" ”
"Don't eat it, Auntie, you can eat it yourself," Huo Wei gave Su Chong a look, and then said to her, "That's the case, we still have something to do, we really have to go." Auntie, thank you today, we will come back next time. ”
"Oh, okay, when Zhang Yun is discharged from the hospital, you guys will come back to play." She hesitated a few times with the oranges and didn't stuff them over.
Seeing this, Su Chong took the orange away from her hand, and said with a smile: "He doesn't eat it, I eat it, I take it on the road and eat it." Goodbye, Auntie, don't be too sad. ”
After going downstairs, Huo Wei had a tense face, and his expression said, "I am mentally retarded", Su Chong was peeling oranges while hearing him say: "Yesterday Chen Feibai said yesterday that I didn't take it seriously." ”
Huo Wei sighed: "I have never been to a church in my life." ”
***
"Why do you have to be discharged from the hospital?"
"The hospital is not as convenient as at home." Bai Yuanshan said vaguely.
Chen Fei's white eyebrows furrowed together, and he said strangely: "The hospital is convenient, if you have anything uncomfortable, I can check you now." ”
Bai Yuanshan couldn't figure it out, so he struggled for a while and said, "Do you remember the sister we met in the supermarket before?" We bought oranges and oranges that time. ”
After he said this, she remembered the special orange and said in surprise: "What's the matter, did she have an accident?" ”
"It's not her, it's her sister, she has a ten-year-old sister who died."
Bai Yuanshan was silent after speaking, Chen Feibai heard it in her heart, she hesitated for a moment, and went out with an embarrassed face.
After a while, Chen Feibai frowned and came back, she reluctantly said to him: "I asked the doctor, and he won't let you be discharged, but he said that he can give you a half-day off, and you have to come back before the evening." ”
Bai Yuanshan was a little surprised, and then she worried: "Don't you need to call the police for this matter?" You were beaten like that last time. ”
"Not this time, I have a colleague with me," Bai Yuanshan sat up and touched the bandage on his head, and put on his coat over the hospital gown, "The matter of the capable is not right to affect ordinary people." ”
Chen Feibai unplugged the mobile phone he was charging and handed it to him: "You have a concussion, don't forget to tell your colleagues." ”
Bai Yuanshan changed his shoes and assured her: "I'm fine, my colleagues won't let me have anything to do." ”
Her father's colleagues are all senior volunteers, Chen Feibai thought of this, and was slightly relieved, she watched Bai Yuanshan get into the taxi at the entrance of the hospital, and then turned around and went back upstairs.
Bai Yuanshan got in the car and made a phone call: "Hey, Huo Wei, where are you now?" ”
***
Su Chong heard Huo Wei's mobile phone ringing and asked him, "Whose phone is it?" ”
Huo Wei stared at the call for a long time before he clicked: "...... I'm outside. He said the name of Zhang Yun's community.
He and Su Chong were solving the lunch problem, and the two of them found a casserole shop next to the community, and as soon as the dish was ordered, they received a call from Bai Yuanshan.
Bai Yuanshan said on the phone: "Okay, I'll be discharged from the hospital for half a day today, and I'll come over later." ”
What is a half-day discharge? Huo Wei didn't understand but didn't ask much: "Okay, Su Chong is also here, we'll wait for you to come over, you can come slowly." ”
Seeing that he hung up the phone, Su Chong asked him, "What's wrong?" ”
"Bai Yuanshan is coming over, don't go, stay here to help." Huo Wei lowered his head and flipped through the address book, "I'll call Old Tang over again." ”
Su Chong finished eating the oranges, threw the orange peels into the paper basket and wondered, "Then the church is not going?" ”
"It's just that if you don't go today, you don't want to run." Huo Wei warned him.
"Here, the beef casserole rice noodles for two—" the waiter shouted angrily.
Old Tang came a little later than Bai Yuanshan, he was resting today, and he came over as soon as he got up in a hurry, and saw Bai Yuanshan in a special outfit from a distance, waving out of the car window from eight meters away: "Teacher Bai——"
It's not just Tang Ming who is so polite, when a few of them moved the ladder and prepared to go to the top of the building, the three of them supported him with the ladder, and a group of juniors treated him so tremblingly, Bai Yuanshan was a little uncomfortable: "...... I'm fine. ”
He said so, but no one believed him. On the roof of the building, Bai Yuanshan didn't stand firm, after Su Chong hurriedly helped him over, he kept protecting Bai Yuanshan with his hand, Bai Yuanshan slowly walked to the corner of Zhang Mo's falling building, patted Su Chong, and asked him to let go.
I saw Bai Yuanshan squatting down slightly, pressing one hand on the roof, and suddenly his palm was forced, and the moment his knuckles were stretched, a burst of dust slowly rose on the cement "ground", and the four of them were obviously standing in the wind, but the dust did not disperse instantly, but grew and spread upward, seeing that it spread to the height of people, Tang Ming thought that he had created a solid fog realm, Bai Yuanshan withdrew his hand and let go to the side.
As soon as he retreated, the fog realm collapsed, and after the wind passed, only two figures, one tall and one short, were left. Tang Ming couldn't help but sigh: "Zhang Yun...... Zhang Mo ......"
Bai Yuanshan recreated the events of that night.
"Old Tang, Su Chong." Huo Wei called them softly.
Tang Ming was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted that Huo Yan was reminding them of something, and the two figures were silent.
"Zhang Mo" was very emotional, "she" took "Zhang Yun" all the way to the side of the building, "Zhang Yun" was very dazed, and when "Zhang Mo" approached the edge, "Zhang Yun" reacted, but "she" seemed to be worried about "Zhang Mo" and did not dare to move.
"She's" non-resistance made "Zhang Mo" even more angry, and "she" repeatedly pointed downstairs and said something. It was the first time for Old Tang to see such a young girl with such a hideous expression on her face.
He was surprised and thought, "Sister, has this been decapitated?" ”
"Zhang Mo" took a step forward, and the whole person fell downstairs like an unbalanced.
The four of them gasped when they saw this scene, and "Zhang Yun" on the side hurriedly rushed over, grabbed the side of the building, and used their mental strength to pull up the white fog.
It's a pity that this is not the end.
"Zhang Mo" looked as if she had seen something dirty, she said something to the "Zhang Yun" who was holding on to the edge with difficulty, and then reached out and pulled her down together.
Two fog masses fell downstairs, and the fog of "Zhang Yun" was blocked by the awnings of several households downstairs, but in the last two seconds, the two fog balls fell to the ground and turned into dust and scattered.
Now even Huo Wei understood, what "Zhang Mo" said before he died: "I don't want you to save me." ”
