Volume 18 Don't Look Back at Midnight Chapter 13 Don't Look Back at Midnight (1 more, collection)
After about half past three in the afternoon, after a rest, I arrived at Zhou Xiaoxiao's door, Zhou Xiaoxiao's door was closed, I was really a little worried about her, I got up early and had some food, but at noon, I didn't eat at all, I was really afraid of Zhou Xiaoxiao, because her father's affairs were tired.
"Bang bang."
I stood at the door and hesitated, but knocked on the door and said, "Xiaoxiao, are you there?" We're going to go and see your dad now. ”
After a few dozen minutes, the door was opened, and a woman came out of it, but she didn't have much energy, and her eyes were still a little swollen, obviously she was in the room just now, and she must have been crying.
"Xiaoxiao, you, are you okay?" I saw Zhou Xiaoxiao asking.
"I, I'm fine." Zhou Xiaoxiao said in a hoarse voice.
"Okay, Xiaoxiao, don't be sad." I smiled and said, "Since it has happened, no matter how sad we are, your father will not be able to come back, let's go to see your father again, one last look!" ”
"Hmm."
Zhou Xiaoxiao nodded and said: "Thank you for your concern for me, it's just that my father left in a hurry like this, which really made me unprepared, I really want to accompany him, although he often beats and scolds, but at least I still have relatives, and now although he doesn't beat and scold me, but I really have no relatives, I am alone, I am still breathing, living in this world, it is really desolate, so sad." ”
"Okay, don't say anything." I slowly took Zhou Xiaoxiao's hands and said, "How can you not have relatives, don't you still have us?" We are also half of your relatives, promise me, no matter what, you don't want to think about it, you have to believe that you will be fine, you will always be fine. ”
"Hmm." Zhou Xiaoxiao nodded with a smile and said, "As long as you and godfather and godmother are here, I will always be fine." ”
"Hmm." I nodded and said, "Okay, let's go!" Dad had been driving and had been waiting in front of the door for a while. ”
Saying that, I took Zhou Xiaoxiao's hand and ran towards the courtyard, and soon I walked out of the courtyard gate with Zhou Xiaoxiao, and there was a black car parked outside the courtyard gate, I opened the rear door, and let Zhou Xiaoxiao go up first, and then I also sat in the back, and my father sat in the driver's seat and glanced back at Zhou Xiaoxiao.
"Well, Xiaoxiao, look, your two eyes are swollen, did you cry in the house again just now." Dad asked Zhou Xiaoxiao with concern.
"Well, I made my godfather worried." Zhou Xiaoxiao said a little apologetically: "I'm really sorry for making my godfather wait for so long." ”
"Okay, don't talk about that." Dad smiled and said, "I don't have anything to do, the key is, don't be sad anymore, you have to go to see your father for the last time, you don't cry." ”
"Hmm." Zhou Xiaoxiao nodded.
"Alright, let's go!" After speaking, Dad turned his head, started the car, and drove forward, I looked at Zhou Xiaoxiao sitting next to me, I knew very well in my heart that no matter how we persuaded her, it was useless, she was still very sad, after all, this was her father's death, not to mention whether she was good to her before her death, but this is her father after all, how can she not be sad when her father dies as a daughter.
......
Zhou Xiaoxiao and I, sitting in the back of the car, Zhou Xiaoxiao was here alone with her head down, very sad, I saw Zhou Xiaoxiao like this, my heart was also very sad, I held Zhou Xiaoxiao's hand, I wanted to comfort her, but I didn't know how to comfort her.
"Xiaofan, thank you." Zhou Xiaoxiao lowered her head and muttered: "When I am most helpless, it feels really good to have you by my side, as long as you accompany me, I am not afraid of anything, I am really grateful to you, as long as you are here, I am not afraid of anything." ”
"Silly girl, it's okay." I smiled and said, "My parents and I will always be with you, you don't have to worry, don't worry!" We will take care of you like a relative, and we will not leave you behind. ”
"Well, thank you." Zhou Xiaoxiao said sadly: "Now that my parents are gone, I only have you relatives left." ”
Zhou Xiaoxiao's head was nestled on my shoulder, lying down here, I looked at Zhou Xiaoxiao at this time, and I felt a little distressed, a girl was hit one after another, it was really pitiful.
"Well, no thanks." I muttered, "Xiaoxiao, if you're tired, you can rest for a while, and we'll be there in a while, so take a good rest!" ”
"Hmm." Zhou Xiaoxiao nodded slowly, and then Zhou Xiaoxiao slowly closed her eyes, rested her head on my shoulder, and fell asleep like this, I looked at Zhou Xiaoxiao's sleeping face, smiled slightly, and didn't bother her, no wonder she was tired, why didn't she rest well for a long time, and now she is tired.
The car continued to drive ahead, and soon got out of the village and headed for the road, where the funeral parlor was, not far from the village, and after about half an hour's drive, we came to a wide square, and on the south side of the square there was a very large hall.
"Well, it's here?" I whispered to my dad.
"Well, here we go." Dad nodded and said, "That, you wake up Zhou Xiaoxiao first, I'll go in first." ”
"Hmm."
I nodded.
Then Dad pulled out the key and walked towards the hall on the south side, and I glanced at Zhou Xiaoxiao.
"Xiaoxiao, wake up, we're here." I called Zhou Xiaoxiao softly.
"Hmm." Zhou Xiaoxiao slowly woke up, rubbed her eyes, glanced around and said, "Xiaofan, have we arrived?" ”
"Hmm." I nodded and said, "Okay, let's get out of the car first!" ”
With that, I opened the car door, got out of the car with Zhou Xiaoxiao, and we walked to the south hall, as soon as we entered the hall, we saw my father chatting with a man in a suit, and we walked towards them.
"What? You say there is such a thing? Dad said in surprise.
As soon as we walked behind Dad, we heard Dad's surprised voice.
"Well, Dad, what are you talking about here?" I looked at my dad and asked, "Why are you surprised?" ”
"Uh, Xiaoxiao, Xiaofan, you're here." Dad turned to look at us and said hello.
"Well, Dad, what did you just say?" I asked suspiciously.
"That's right, Xiaoxiao's father is not dead." Dad said: "But the strange thing is that no matter what, this corpse just doesn't close its eyes, and it still has that kind of expression." ”
......
"Don't close your eyes!" I was a little surprised.
"Not bad." The man in the suit nodded and said, "We brushed his eyes with our hands, but his eyes always struggled like this, that is, he didn't close his eyes, as if he couldn't blink his eyes." ”
"Ugh." I was a little surprised.
This kind of thing is indeed too strange, I feel my back now, and suddenly there is a creepy feeling, but Zhou Xiaoxiao is very sad at this time, with tears in her eyes, obviously very sad.
"Sir, can I see my father's body?" Zhou Xiaoxiao sobbed and looked at the man in the suit and said.
"Of course, you can." The man nodded and said, "Your father, it's in the thirty-sixth freezer, I'll take you there!" ”
Saying that, the man turned his head and walked towards the hall, there were many rooms in this hall, and when he walked to a room, the man pushed open the door of the room with both hands, and when we didn't go in, we felt it from inside, and a very cold breath came to our faces, obviously this room was very cold, like an ice cellar.
I shivered all over from the cold, we walked into this room, in this room, there was a row of freezers, which were full of corpses, and the man took us to find it, the thirty-sixth freezer, opened the freezer door, the freezer door opened, and there was a corpse lying inside, the corpse's body was frosty, his two eyes were round, this was Zhou Xiaoxiao's father.
"Dad!" Zhou Xiaoxiao screamed bitterly, knelt beside the corpse, and said crying: "Woo, my daughter is not filial, I didn't see you for the last time, it's really unfilial, my daughter has come to see you now, but you are no longer there, why do you want to leave your daughter, woo." ”
Saying that Zhou Xiaoxiao was here, crying bitterly, I looked at Zhou Xiaoxiao's father lying in the freezer, but I was very scared in my heart, just now I heard the words of not closing my eyes, I still didn't believe it, but now I see this situation, it is indeed true, he really didn't close his eyes, and he still maintained that shocked appearance.
Seeing that I was all over, I couldn't help but tremble in awe, this is too weird, and it is too strange that people don't close their eyes after death.
"Dad, you're well-informed." I whispered to my dad and said, "You, have you ever seen a person who can't close his eyes after he dies, no matter what." ”
"This situation is indeed unheard of and unseen." Dad shook his head and said, "I don't know either." ”
After Dad said this, he walked to Zhou Xiaoxiao's side, patted Zhou Xiaoxiao's shoulder, and comforted: "Okay, your father is dead, no matter how you cry, this is also an unchanging fact, okay, don't be sad." ”
"Well, godfather!" Zhou Xiaoxiao looked at her father, her eyes were still a little sad, and said, "I'm really sad, my dad died like this, it really makes me so sad!" ”
"Okay, I know." Dad stretched out his hand to help Zhou Xiaoxiao and said, "The so-called people can't be resurrected after death, so you can mourn by the way!" ”
"Hmm." Zhou Xiaoxiao nodded with sobs.
"By the way, when do you want to have a funeral?" Dad looked at Zhou Xiaoxiao and asked.
"The day after tomorrow!" Zhou Xiaoxiao said sadly: "I want my dad to rest in peace as soon as possible, so I want to hold a funeral the day after tomorrow." ”
"Well, okay, I'll go get ready." Dad nodded and said, "Okay, you can take a look at your father here again, and I'll go and prepare for the funeral." ”
After saying that, Dad walked out with the man in the suit.
