Chapter 189: People Are Like Their Name
Chu Han's job tonight is very clear, that is, to go to an extremely dilapidated community to pick up the old gentleman who has been a good man all his life. (Book = - house * 0 small -} said -+ net) the information of the underworld has been sent, and the life deeds and photos on it are very clear. Moreover, the underworld guessed that there should be no one around the old gentleman now, and the children who were rescued and sent away by him have returned to the home where they should go back.
The information also included the address of the old gentleman and a more detailed map, as well as the exact time of his death, which was at 11:50 p.m. tonight.
Chu Han glanced at his watch, it was ten o'clock, and there were still nearly two hours before the time came, so he was not in a hurry and walked with Liang Xiaoyan on the way to the old gentleman's house.
In fact, Chu Han didn't want to go early, such an old man was about to pass away, and there should be someone waiting by his side. But he thought of those ghosts before, and when he thought of their completely numb faces, Chu Han shuddered.
It doesn't matter if they are used to life and death, this is their mentality. But Chu Han didn't want to be like them, if he had the ability, he would definitely not let this old man leave, but he didn't have that ability. He could only watch his life disappear little by little, and there was nothing he could do, and then he had to send him to the underworld himself.
It's painful just to think about it.
"Brother Han, we can't delay any longer." Liang Xiaoyan reminded behind him, "Let's go over in advance to avoid accidents." ”
Chu Han didn't look at Liang Xiaoyan, but said leisurely: "Such an old man, since he can help others all his life, his mind must be tenacious, what accidents can happen?" ”
Liang Xiaoyan is just Chu Han's assistant, and it is necessary to remind her that she has done it, but the final decision still depends on Chu Han.
No matter how far the road is, there will be times when it comes to the end.
Chu Han glanced up at the dilapidated gate in front of him, shook his head and walked in.
This is a community located in a very remote area of Anding City, an old community built in the eighties of the last century. Most of the families in the community have moved out to live in a better neighborhood. The people who live here are some migrant workers who can't afford to rent a good house, or some elderly people who have no one to take care of.
This is a veritable slum of stability, although it cannot be described as rampant bandits and smoky miasma, but the law and order are indeed not very good.
Chu Han walked past the residential buildings, most of these old communities are five- or six-story buildings, the windows in those corridors, the glass is gone, the wooden window frames are hanging outside, and the wind is creaking.
There was not a glimmer of light upstairs, and the windows of the black hole looked like a haunted house.
Chu Han walked to the door of a unit in a building, glanced upstairs and then looked at his watch, and then leaned against a big tree opposite the door.
"Brother Han, don't you go up?" Liang Xiaoyan looked at Chu Han suspiciously, why did he have to wait down there since he arrived?
"Wait a little longer." Chu Han said, he really didn't want to see an old man when he was dying, he couldn't help but think of any way to keep him, let alone such a kind-hearted old man.
Chu Han waited for a while, then looked at the time again. The minute hand of the watch points to the forty-eighth tenth, and the hour hand is almost twelve.
"Let's go up." Chu Han said and walked into the door of the building.
The old man's home was on the fourth floor, and Chu Han took three or four steps to jump directly to the corridor on the fourth floor. There are only two households on the first floor of this kind of building, and the old man is the one on the right side of the corridor. In the house opposite him, the security door has been broken with a large hole, and it is obvious that it is no longer inhabited.
The door of the old man's house was not closed, but was left with a crack, and there was a faint light inside.
Chu Han frowned, and the information from the underworld said that the old man was likely to be at home alone, but now it was obvious that someone had entered the house.
Chu Han pushed his hand on the door and slowly pushed the door open, he was afraid that there would be some blind goggle who would come here to do those things like stealing.
Chu Han pushed open the door, but what he saw was a broken table and two white candles on it. The light that shines through the crack in the door is the candle.
But what surprised him even more was that from the doorway to the inside of the house, there were already people standing there. There are young people, and there are some older people.
Chu Han stood on the spot, didn't he say that there would be no one by this old man's side? Why are there so many people here? These questions are nothing, what matters is how he explains his intentions!
"Who are you?" A man with red eyes asked, it looked like he was in his thirties, a little older than Chu Han.
"I ...... I'll take a look at him. Chu Han said hesitantly, "I just look at him." ”
"You also helped your grandfather, right?" A younger-looking girl walked over, looking smaller than Liang Xiaoyan.
"Ah...... Yes, so do I. Chu Han didn't know how to explain, if it was an old man's friend, it would definitely make people suspicious, but fortunately, this little girl helped him out intentionally or unintentionally, "I'm ......"
"We all are." The man said, "You came here in a dream about him, right?" ”
"Dreams? Oh, yes! Chu Han followed the man's words and said, "Yes, that dream ......"
"We too, suddenly one day I dreamed of him, and we came." With that, the man turned his gaze back into the room.
Chu Han walked into the room, the people inside made way for him, and in the innermost bedroom, Chu Han saw the old man. At this moment, he was lying on the collapsed bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, he should have died.
On a small table next to the old man's bedside, there were also a few candles, and the room seemed to be a little brighter.
"His house is out of power, and he hasn't paid the electricity bill for months." A little girl looked back and said, her eyes were also red, and she had obviously just cried.
The little girl looked back as if she had noticed something unusual, and she touched his nose with her trembling hands, and suddenly burst into tears. When she cried, the others also reacted, knowing that the old man was gone, they also cried.
Chu Han's nose was a little sour, and he took a few steps back, and those people moved closer a little further. A woman who was almost in her fifties, wiping away her tears, said, "What a human being is true to his name, benevolence and righteousness!" ”
Chu Han sighed, he had seen the old man's name on the information of the underworld, Ren Yi!
Chu Han looked around, and a transparent shadow was standing next to the corpse, looking at Ren Yi who had closed his eyes.
He suddenly sighed and looked at Chu Han outside the crowd. He had already discovered Chu Han, so he rubbed the bodies of those people and walked up to Chu Han and said, "Young man, you are here to pick me up." ”
Chu Han sighed, leaned out of the way, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please. The transparent shadow nodded, his appearance was exactly the same as Ren Yi's corpse.
This is his soul!
Ren Yi walked out of the door, didn't even look at the crying crowd behind him, and walked straight downstairs.
Chu Han quietly went downstairs, followed Ren Yi's side, and walked out of the door of the community together.
"Thank you, young man." Ren Yi suddenly spoke, "You notified those people, right?" ”
Chu Han knew that he was mistaken, so he said, "No, they didn't call me, they said that they had a dream, and they came after dreaming of you." ”
"Alas......" Ren Yi sighed and continued to walk forward without speaking. The old man's soul is very sober, and he is not like other ghosts.
"Old man, if you're ready, I'll take you straight down?" Chu Han said.
Ren Yi nodded and said, "Okay, you can start." ”
Chu Han found a secluded place and began to prepare the teleportation talisman array, and suddenly Ren Yi looked at Chu Han and said, "Hey, if my daughter is still here, she should be in her forties." ”
"Your daughter?" Chu Han said while carving the talisman array, "She...... What's wrong? ”
"Lost, lost for thirty years." Ren Yi said, "I don't know if I'm still alive, I lost it when I was more than ten years old, and I should be in my forties by now." ”
Chu Han stopped talking, he didn't know what to say, he could only sigh in his heart.
"You know why I'm helping those kids? It's all because of my daughter, I lost her, and for this, my wife divorced me. Ren Yi asked himself, "But I don't blame her, I know that she was hit too hard to accept." For so many years, she has not given up looking for her daughter, but I have given up. ”
Speaking of this, two lines of old tears also flowed from Ren Yi's eyes, but before they landed, they completely turned into steam in the air and disappeared.
