Volume 18 Don't Look Back at Midnight Chapter 10 Don't Look Back at Midnight (2 more, collection)
"Oh?" The old man looked at me suspiciously and asked, "If you have anything to say, just say it!" I can help, old man, and I will not refuse. ”
"Well, thank you, Grandpa." I looked at the old man and said, "I want to ask you to keep it a secret for the time being, but now Xiaoxiao doesn't know that her father has died tragically, and I'm afraid she won't be able to bear the blow." ”
"Well, I know what you mean." The old man nodded and said, "It's just that she doesn't know now, and sooner or later she will know, do you plan to hide it from her all the time?" After all, paper can't hold the fire. ”
"Well, I know that, too." I thought for a moment and said, "I didn't, I wanted to keep it from her, I just didn't want her to be sad now, grandpa, you know what?" Her father was about to run away last night in order to escape the debt yesterday, and Xiaoxiao was hit at that time, but no matter how her father treated her, she still cared about this father, so I was really afraid that she would be devastated when she heard this, I just wanted you not to tell her first, and wait for me to tell her slowly. ”
"But do you think she'll be less sad that way?" The old man looked at me and asked.
"No, I don't think she'll be less sad that way." I shook my head and said, "It's just that she received a blow yesterday, and if she gets another blow, I'm really scared, she won't be able to bear it." ”
"Hmm."
The old man thought for a moment here, and finally nodded.
"If that's the case, so be it!" The old man said, "Do as you want." ”
"Well, thank you." I bow sincerely.
"But what about this corpse? You can't put it here. The old man looked at the lying on the ground, and Zhou Xiaoxiao's father asked.
"Grandpa, you don't have to worry about it." I smiled and said, "Wait a while, I will call my dad and ask him to contact, the funeral home will take the body away, and when I persuade Zhou Xiaoxiao, I will help him hold a funeral!" Let's do it for now! ”
"Well, that's not bad for you to do that." Grandpa nodded.
Then my grandfather left, and then I evacuated the people around me, and only I was left here, I and this body that had been judged to be a dead person, Zhou Xiaoxiao's father, I glanced at Zhou Xiaoxiao's father, he was lying in a pool of blood, his eyes were round, it was really a little scary.
"Hey, no matter when you were alive, you were no longer human." I looked at the corpse and said, "But, now that you are dead, I have nothing to say, I will definitely take good care of your daughter, although you don't care about your daughter, but I will definitely take good care of him, you can leave with peace of mind!" ”
I bowed silently, and then said: "I really don't like people like you very much, you abandoned your wife for gambling, and finally owed a lot of debts, you just patted your ass and left, leaving only a woman to repay your debts for you here, will you really feel at ease?" She's your daughter no matter what she says, how can you be so ruthless! ”
"Originally, we didn't bother to help you pay it back." I said angrily: "But for Zhou Xiaoxiao's sake, we still paid it back to you, and now you are on the road to death because of your debts, I hope you have knowledge, you can know how to repent!" In any case, you are not a thing in life, but it is not possible after death, and there is no one to give you your last ride. ”
......
"Rest in peace! We'll take care of the funeral expenses after you die. I looked at the corpse and said something slowly, although I knew that he couldn't hear me anymore, but I still had to say it.
Then I took out my mobile phone, called my father, asked him where he was, and then I told my dad the address, I hung up the phone, and waited here, I waited here for my dad, and the time passed slowly here, and I looked at my watch, and it was now half past ten, and it would be almost eleven o'clock soon.
"Well, Xiaofan, why are you in a hurry, come to me." At this moment, my father's voice sounded behind me.
"Well, Dad, you're here." I turned my head to look at my dad and said in a low voice, "It's good that you're here." ”
Dad glanced at me, and then suddenly saw the corpse lying in a pool of blood not far behind me, and his eyes were full of horror.
"W-who is this?" Dad trembled and pointed to the corpse and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
"Uh, Dad, don't get excited." I walked over and said, "This person is Xiaoxiao's father, but he is dead now." ”
"Uh, Xiaoxiao's father?" Dad asked suspiciously: "But, didn't you tell me that he was gone, how could he die here?" ”
"Well, I don't know, when I came over, I saw him lying here." I shook my head and said, "The corpse has turned cold, and I think it's been dead for a long time. ”
"Well, do the others know about this?" Dad looked at me and asked.
"yes, I know." I sighed.
"Oh, but how could he die here?" Dad shook his head and asked.
"I don't know exactly what's going on." I shook my head and said: "Probably when he was about to leave, the person he owed the debt came to him and killed him, but the people in the village didn't think much about it, they said that it was Zhou Xiaoxiao's father, who turned around when he left at night, ran into a ghost, and then killed him, and said that the appearance of his death was exactly the same as when that person died." ”
"Ugh!"
Dad was a little shocked, looked at the corpse lying on the ground, and was actually a little confused in his heart, but it was indeed very similar, and he remembered that when the person died, he also had such a surprised expression.
"Dad, I don't want to tell Xiaoxiao about this now." I sighed: "Although this person is not a thing, but he is also Xiaoxiao's father, I am afraid of Xiaoxiao, when I hear this news, I will not be able to bear the blow, and besides, she has been hit yesterday, I don't want her to know first, let's tell her slowly!" ”
"Well, Xiaofan, you did the right thing." Dad nodded and agreed: "A little girl, first abandoned by her biological father, and then her biological father died tragically here, no one can bear this kind of blow, Dad, I will also help you full." ”
"yes, okay." I looked at my dad and asked, "By the way, then do I need to tell my mom?" ”
"Don't tell her about this yet." Dad shook his head and said, "If you tell her, I'm afraid I'll leak my mouth." ”
......
"Well, that's fine." I nodded and said, "Dad, can you help me contact a funeral home, I want to store this body in the funeral home first, I can't always put it here." ”
"It's okay, the people from the funeral home, I'll contact you now." Dad nodded, and after speaking, he made a phone call and contacted the people at the funeral home here, and after a short time, Dad hung up the phone.
"Well, I've already called." Dad nodded and said, "They said it would be nearly half an hour, and they would come over." ”
"Hmm." I nodded silently and said slowly: "Dad, I'm really sorry for letting you break the bank again for some irrelevant people." ”
"Hehe, silly boy, what are you talking about?" Dad smiled: "It's not an irrelevant person, Xiaoxiao is my goddaughter, and it should be done to spend some money for her, okay, you don't have to mind like this, it's just, it's true, it's a good person, and he actually said that he would die, although he was indeed a very bastard." ”
"However, it was still a little shocking to see him die at the moment." Dad shook his head and sighed: "If you let your goddaughter know, I don't know how sad I should be." ”
"Hey, but, in this way, it's good for Xiaoxiao." I sighed and said, "At least she won't have to be bullied and tortured by this father in the future." ”
"Hey, okay, don't say that." Dad looked at me and said, "He's not good, and it's also Zhou Xiaoxiao's father, we can't talk about her father like that, now I only hope that after she knows that his father is dead, I hope she won't be too sad and can survive." ”
"Well, I also hope that I won't tell her today." I nodded and said, "Let her live a carefree and happy day today!" I'll tell her tomorrow! ”
"It's okay, she and her wife went out shopping today." Dad shook his head and said, "I don't know, when will I be able to come back." ”
"Hmm." I nodded.
We were standing here, and after more than half an hour, a black van came from the front, and soon the van stopped here, and a man in a black suit walked down from the car, and this man walked towards us, and then the back door of the van opened, and from the inside, two men in black suits, these two men carried a stretcher, and two people wore white gloves on their hands, and these two people pushed the stretcher to the body of Zhou Xiaoxiao's father, and the two carried it, and carried the body to the stretcher.
And the first man to get out of the car just now walked up to us, glanced at us, and said slowly: "You just called us." ”
"Hmm." Dad nodded and said, "I hope you can put the body in the freezer for the time being, and then take it out at the funeral." ”
"yes, okay." The man nodded and said, "But to be on the safe side, yours sign the contract to prove what your relationship is." ”
"Well, that's as it should be." Dad nodded.
Then the man handed my dad a briefcase and a pen, and signed his name here, and after signing his name, my dad handed the briefcase to the man.
"Well, can I pay you the money after the funeral?" Dad looked at the man and asked.
"Yes." The man said flatly, and got into the car, and the other two men pushing the stretcher had already pushed Zhou Xiaoxiao's father's body to the car, and then the black van started, and the black van drove forward, getting smaller and smaller in my field of vision, and finally disappeared in front of me.
