Chapter 77: Last Words (2)
At the age of thirteen, the family's flower cat contracted acute enteritis and had to go to the veterinarian for surgery.
At that time, Carl was in a hurry, seeing that his little friend from childhood to adulthood was constantly humming in pain, he gritted his teeth and directly smashed the little pig money jar, took out the thousands of dollars in it that had been crumpled for several years, and rushed out of the house without saying a word.
Because Carl's home is located in the suburbs, and there are only a dozen families around, it just so happens that they all went out, and Carl has no transportation at all, so he can only walk anxiously to the side of the road, hug the flower cat that is whining in pain, and keep waving and shouting on the side of the road.
He wiggles his right hand, expecting someone to help him......
He shouted loudly, expecting someone to pay attention to him......
However, what made him desperate was that those who drove by just glanced at him coldly and stopped paying attention to him, watching the cars pass by one by one, his heart sank a little bit......
At that time, I still remember my hesitant and desperate appearance.
He understands that he can't wait!
ruthlessly, he directly hugged the curled up cat alone, and walked on the highway alone, intending to walk dozens of miles to the veterinary clinic in that town.
He's been running......
He's so tired......
Why don't you give up......
There was a voice in his heart that had been inducing him, but he gritted his teeth and persevered when he looked at the painful eyes of the flower cat, but he overestimated his physical fitness.
More than ten miles later, he suddenly had an uncomfortable tumbling in his body, his face constantly changing, and then he spewed out a cloud of blood mist and fainted on the side of the road.
After waking up, the flower cat in his arms was already covered with dust, and his shruggy little body became cold.
The flower cat died......
The little guy who accompanied him since he was a child died......
and died in his arms......
Ronald's words are very similar in context, and they are also begging others for the sake of what they want to protect, and they are all asking for it because they can't do anything.
Erin and Ellie, because of their age, couldn't understand what Carl and Ronald were discussing, and the two little guys were still stunned, not knowing at all, their father was about to ......
There are a lot of things that come to mind, but the time is only a second, Carl came back to his senses, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said slowly: "I can promise you, but ......"
He paused.
Ronald looked at Carl calmly, waiting for his answer, knowing that the fate of his two daughters was in the hands of the young man.
A thought,
A thought is extinguished.
"However, there is a limit to the amount of time, and I can't take care of them for the rest of my life." Karl replied calmly, his tone not fluctuating.
Ronald closed his eyes, thought about it, and thought seriously in his heart, if he had to take care of it for a lifetime, it was indeed impossible for anyone to accept, so he said: "The time is set at one year, is it okay?" ”
A year? Not much, but not short, within an acceptable time frame.
Look at the two little girls are not small, the little girl named Erin is already more than eleven, and a year later she will be twelve years old, barely able to protect herself, as long as she trains a little, she can be as self-reliant as Jisi's cold Lori.
So, a year, just right.
"A year? I can promise you. Karl stood with his hands in his hands and nodded slightly.
Hearing this, Ronald was relieved, let out a long breath, and finally squeezed out a long-lost smile on his face.
In this life, the number of times he laughs is really very pitiful, because his job is a professional killer, he is always nervous, always thinking about what people want to harm him all day long, some little things are infinitely magnified by him, his personality is weird and withdrawn, he doesn't like to talk to people outside the task, for fear that he will expose his identity as a killer.
Since joining the killer organization, he has never slept soundly for a day, so that the whole person is weird, and the neighbors think he is a mental patient, so they try to avoid him when they go out, even if they happen to run into him, they pretend not to see him.
In addition, because there are too many people killed in his hands, he has a natural indifference to life and a rejecting attitude.
However, in the summer of one year, he ushered in a turning point in his life, and possibly the only one.
Because at that time he was going to a small country to assassinate a dignitary, and he received information that the dignitary would be staying in a small town recently.
He planned for this for ten days, and all aspects were calculated by him, and sure enough, he succeeded!
Afterwards, he easily escaped the fragile national raids, but for safety, he settled in a small remote ranch, intending to avoid the limelight first.
The owner of the farm is a very beautiful girl, only in her twenties, kind-hearted, taking care of the ranch every day, and occasionally going to the city to participate in some volunteer activities.
But she seems to be an orphan and doesn't like to talk, so she doesn't have any friends, and the two seem to have a "negative and positive" effect, and they soon chatted familiarly.
After the two talked, Ronald found out that she had a titular "dad" who had recently died, and after digging deeper, Ronald felt a little dizzy.
Kill yourself...... Seems to be the director of an orphanage?
I heard her say that the dean is very nice, so everyone is used to thinking of him as their father, he doesn't care about the dirty appearance of the orphans, he often gets together with them, even if the government affairs are busy, he will find a little time every week to visit the orphanage.
To put it this way...... The person who killed himself is a good person? He looked at the whole world, and it didn't seem to be very real.
As she spoke, the girl began to cry, because Ronald was the only one beside her, so she buried her head in his shoulder and wept bitterly.
A kind of family crying for the family.
Ronald felt a little guilty and patted her on the back, and the girl cried even more and hugged the big man Ronald.
It seems that in order to silently atone for his sins, for the next few years, he lived and did not ask about the world......
In the next few years, the two got married because of their long-term relationship, and Su Shan also gave birth to two delicate daughters for him, and the heart that had been blinded by killing for many years gradually disappeared......
From that moment on, he felt that his life had a meaning of existence, and it could be regarded as a real journey, and he stopped to take a closer look at how beautiful this world was, and who he existed for had a clear answer......
A few months after giving birth, his wife was going to the city to help the poor, and Ronald didn't think much about it, just to experience the life of a full-time dad at home.
Erin and Ellie, the two little guys, are very cute (^ω^)
What I didn't expect was that
This walk,
It's forever......
