179. Phone calls in the middle of the night
The wall clock on the wall turned twelve, and began to move in one direction without hurry. Li Qin and Chu Xiaoxiao sat motionless on the sofa and stared at the note on the coffee table for two hours. The two of them repeated the memories of their lives, but they did not find any clues about the A24 written on the note.
Chu Xiaoxiao curled up on the sofa and looked at Li Qin, who was still pondering, and gently tapped Li Qin's waist with his foot and said, "Old man Li, go to bed first." It's almost a little bit, and you have to go to work tomorrow. I can't think of anything right now. ”
Li Qin nodded and said in a low voice: "You go to sleep first, I'll think about it later..." He knew very well that he couldn't think of anything, what he had was the memory of more than 20 years before Lin Xiaojing, and what Chu Xiaoxiao had was the memory of 20 years after Lin Xiaojing. And the secret of this note is hidden in the middle twenty years that have nothing to do with the two.
Although Chu Xiaoxiao also understood in her heart, she didn't say it. Chu Xiaoxiao poured Li Qin a glass of water, then went back to the house, closed the door, changed into pajamas and fell on the bed. The moment she lay on the bed, Chu Xiaoxiao felt the softness of this old-fashioned bed for the first time.
But for some reason, she was sleepy and closed her eyes while lying on the bed, but what appeared in front of her was the young grandmother she saw in the supermarket. Chu Xiaoxiao flipped over and over, but she was always thinking about what happened at night in her mind.
Just as Chu Xiaoxiao was finally about to fall asleep, her mobile phone rang.
Chu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes with difficulty, stretched out her hand and fumbled on the bedside cabinet for a while, touched the mobile phone and dragged it into the quilt. But when Chu Xiaoxiao took the phone into the quilt, the phone was hung up. Chu Xiaoxiao glanced at the missed call, it was an unknown number, and there was no note at the bottom where the call was made. Chu Xiaoxiao sighed, put the phone back on the cabinet, and closed his eyes again.
After a while, a piece of mobile phone music popped up again. Chu Xiaoxiao picked up the phone helplessly, her confused eyes had not fully opened, and the impatient wrinkles on her brow had already told the person on the other end of the phone with her tone, "Hey, who!"
There was no response on the other end of the phone, and after a few seconds, a hoarse old voice with some mechanical voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiaoxiao? ”
Chu Xiaoxiao heard that it was Grandma Sun who was still hospitalized, and her confused eyes opened instantly. Chu Xiaoxiao whispered into the phone: "Grandma Sun, I'm sorry, I scared you just now." ”
"It's okay, the phone in this hospital, it's not working. I don't blame you. ”
"Grandma Sun, do you have anything to do when you call so late?"
"It's okay, grandma misses you. Grandma just wants to ask, did you receive the courier?"
Hearing the other party mention the courier again, Chu Xiaoxiao frowned, "Grandma, I haven't received it yet." ”
This time, Sun Lianfang didn't lose her mind after hearing Chu Xiaoxiao's answer like last time. Instead, he said slowly: "Xiaoxiao, after that, can you help grandma get something? Grandma, I, I put something in someone's store and forgot to get it back." Someone called me today, and I can't go. Zhiyuan them..."Sun Lianfang did not continue.
Hearing that Grandma Sun didn't continue to talk about her son, Chu Xiaoxiao also sighed. Although he was his elder, Chu Xiaoxiao really looked down on that uncle. Chu Xiaoxiao hurriedly said, "Grandma Sun, you tell me the location, and I'll go get it for you." ”
"Okay, then I'll trouble you. Location... Location... Ah, I wrote down the location in my notebook, and the notebook is at home. Ming'er, I'll ask Zhiyuan to send it to you. ”
"Uh-huh, okay grandma"
"Then I'll hang up and won't bother you. Remember to wait for the courier..."
Chu Xiaoxiao always felt that the other party had not finished speaking. But the phone has returned to its original interface. Chu Xiaoxiao put her phone on the head of the bed, closed her eyes, and fell asleep again.
Early the next morning
"Boom, boom, boom"
"Boom, boom, boom"
Chu Xiaoxiao covered her ears and closed her eyes and shouted, "Old man Li, are you setting off artillery at the door? Don't knock on my door!"
"Smile, smile, it's me. Open the door!" came Li Hanmo's voice from outside the door.
Chu Xiaoxiao got up and opened the door, only to see Li Hanmo walking in in a hurry, picking up the clothes that Chu Xiaoxiao had thrown on the cabinet and throwing them on Chu Xiaoxiao's bed, "Hurry up and put on the clothes." ”
"What's wrong?" Chu Xiaoxiao took the clothes, and the anxious expression on Li Hanmo's face made her feel like something bad had happened.
"Go to Grandma's house. ”
"What are you doing at Grandma Sun's house? It's early in the morning,"
"My grandfather and your grandfather and your parents are all gone. It's up to you. Li Hanmo said and sat on the bed and put on Chu Xiaoxiao's clothes.
"Alright, alright, I'll do it myself. Chu Xiaoxiao got dressed, walked out of bed, tied her hair with a rubber band, and then asked, "What's so anxious?"
"Li Qin and Aunt Zhang, they have passed, and I will come to pick you up. Grandma Sun, she... It's gone. ”
Chu Xiaoxiao stopped what she was doing, turned around, and looked at Li Hanmo with a look of disbelief: "When?"
"At half past eleven last night, I had an acute heart attack. ”
"It's... How is this possible? she is obvious, obviously " Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly slumped on the bed. Her brain couldn't handle what had happened last night. First, I saw my grandmother who suddenly appeared and disappeared suddenly. Later, in the middle of the night, I received a call from my grandmother, who had passed away. Chu Xiaoxiao trembled.
Li Hanmo patted Chu Xiaoxiao, "Don't get excited, don't get excited." When people get old, they will inevitably die. Hurry up and clean up, we'll go see her one last time. ”
Li Hanmo helped Chu Xiaoxiao into the bathroom, washed up, and then the two went out. Chu Xiaoxiao sat in the car, looking out of the car with blank eyes. Li Hanmo didn't bother her either. Li Hanmo thought to himself, maybe Grandma Sun's death was too big a blow to Chu Xiaoxiao. But what she didn't expect was that Chu Xiaoxiao's appearance at this time was not because of sadness, but because of fear. Chu Xiaoxiao wanted to tell Li Hanmo about last night, but she didn't dare. She was afraid that Li Hanmo would know Li Qin's secret, and she promised Li Qin that she would not tell anyone else the secret he had crossed.
The car drove downstairs in the community, and Chu Xiaoxiao got out of the car and saw Li Qin standing next to Aunt Zhang. The tears in her eyes burst out instantly, and she ran forward and threw herself into Li Qin's arms and cried bitterly.
Chu Xiaoxiao stood in front of the building, looking at the gray corridor inside, she seemed to see Grandma Sun's face in the dark corner where there was no light.
Suddenly, Chu Xiaoxiao's mobile phone rang again, and Chu Xiaoxiao picked up the phone and put it to his ear in shock. I only heard the familiar voice on the phone and asked, "Xiaoxiao, has the courier been received?"
