Chapter 11: The Old Man's Anomaly

Ren Qiancang put the spirit pet cat aside, looked at me very seriously and asked, "Why do you ask that?" ”

"I saw her with a few pieces of paper in her hand, and when I approached, she hid behind her, one of which was a small drawing of the floor plan of the yard. I don't know what the others are? ”

Ren Qiancang frowned: "Where did you see her?" ”

"It's right outside the gate, in the parking lot."

"What about time?"

I didn't expect him to ask in such detail, and said with some uncertainty: "Just now, I said two words to her and came in directly." ”

Ren Qiancang frowned, sat up, and said, "There is a gap in time. When I met her at the gate, it was about half an hour ago. Then you see her, and about twenty minutes of it is blank. In the past twenty minutes, according to common sense, she should have left Ren's house, but she was still at the gate. And when I met her, she didn't have any paper in her hand. After you see her, you take it, and it's still the floor plan of the big yard. In these twenty minutes or so, someone must have given it to her. He got up and walked outside and said, "I'll go to the security room and watch the footage." ”

I nodded in response, but I wondered in my heart, Xu Xin appeared at this time, could it really be arranged by someone.

I was in the room, looking at the group of classmates, everyone was discussing yesterday's wedding banquet, Qin Dan suddenly wrote in big red font: "That wedding is so old-fashioned, you all say yes." I think she is marrying into the Ren family, and she doesn't even dare to mention her own opinions. I didn't look at the gossip, she was pressed directly behind the tree by Ren Qiancang, just like that! If you like to be a rich man's toy, I can introduce it! ”

Now the whole class knows that I am not on the same page with Qin Dan, and no one talks anymore for a while.

I was feeling unhappy when I heard a knock on the door of the living room outside, followed by Yuan Xue's voice shouting, "Shangshang! ”

She doesn't work in the big yard anymore, and I'm a little younger than her, so she doesn't call me Mrs. anymore. I got nervous when I heard her voice, did she come and ask me for the cat? Where can I find her an identical zombie cat?

But everyone came to the door, and I still walked out of the living room: "Yuan Xue, why are you here?" Don't go to work today? "I paid attention to the wound on Yuan Xue's hand, she was no longer bandaged, although there was still a scar on the back of her hand, but on the whole, it had healed quite well.

Yuan Xue walked in and said, "I'm much better, I want that cat back." Even if it's dangerous, I'm going to take it to my grandfather's grave. ”

"Yuan Xue, do you think this is appropriate? Your grandfather has been gone for so long. And the cat is very dangerous, and if you take it on the road, it won't be dangerous. I paused for a moment, looked at Yuan Xue and was obviously a little unhappy, and hurriedly said: "Yuan Xue, I know that you want that cat, just to know about your grandfather." I can take you to listen to the old professor tell you the story of the past, but how about the cat stay with me? ”

Yuan Xue hesitated, and only said after a while: "My grandfather only wants to find that cat until he dies." ”

What she meant was refusal. I could only lie: "The cat ran out to play, with my cat." They should be back in the evening. Maybe you won't come back in the evening, and you'll be back in two days. In this way, in two days, it will come back, I will put it in a cage and let Ren Qiancang bring it to you when he goes to the Tibetan Museum. ”

Yuan Xue still hesitated, but she finally compromised. Who called us her boss? Sometimes it's really hard to turn against the boss.

When I sent Yuan Xue out, I happened to see Bao Ye who came back from burning the cat's corpse outside, of course Bao Ye also knew that the cat was found by Yuan Xue, so he gave way with a smiling face, and shouted: "Hello, senior sister!" Senior sister go slowly! ”

Yuan Xue never waited to see Bao Ye, so she just nodded. After Yuan Xue left, Bao Ye also said to me: "The task has been completed." You soak glutinous rice lotus seed water. ”

I answered, walked to the security room on the side, and asked, "Where is Ren Qiancang?" He just said he was coming. ”

The little security guard said, "Sir is out, and they have been out for a while." ”

I feel unhappy in my heart, didn't he say to see who Xu Xin has been in contact with? Why is this going out? He wouldn't be looking for Xu Xin in person, would he? For Xu Xin, although he said that it was like looking at the twin sister of his former lover, who knows if it is true?

I snorted and walked back into my yard.

I ate dinner that day. When the aunt from the kitchen brought the food, I asked, why don't you eat in the hall? In the past, when the old man was at home, he usually ate in the hall. Unless there is a special explanation, we will eat in the room. After all, it's all family.

The aunt said: "It was ordered by the old man, saying that he didn't want to eat, so let's not send it over." Didn't you send this here, too? ”

"The old man is not in good health, so let's look at the kitchen and ask him what he wants to eat. Give him what he wants to eat. ”

"I went to ask at noon today. The old man closed the door and disappeared. Let's just say that I don't eat at night. ”

"What about Uncle Wu? Uncle Wu didn't say anything? ”

"Uncle Wu is not at home."

I was stunned for a moment, just the old man's body, if you don't eat again, don't you cross it? After a moment's hesitation, I said, "Let's make some soup in the kitchen." I'll bring it to the old man in a moment. ”

Auntie smiled: "Yes, yes." Madam, we all know that after the husband came back, the old man was getting worse day by day, and the two of them often quarreled. It's just the two of you, and we people are not easy to talk to. That's all you can say. You persuade more, it's not easy for the old man to be a man for so many years. ”

I smiled and nodded, it's not all black and white, and it can't be said to be so dead. If Ren Qiancang was at home, I wouldn't dare to say anything about delivering soup. It's just that he chased Xu Xin out, it's been an afternoon, it's all dinner, there is no phone, no shadow.

After eating, I went to the kitchen. brought the soup brought by the aunt to the old man's yard. After all, the old man is the head of the family, and the yard where he lives is the most luxurious in the entire large courtyard. Unlike ours, his yard is full of antiques. It's just that I can't even get through the door. The doors of his room were closed.

There was a knock on the door, but there was no response. I shouted a few more times outside, thinking that even if the positions were opposite, the apparent peace would still be maintained. It's like it's impossible for them to see Ren Qiancang rushing up and fighting.

The old man's voice came from the room, saying, "I don't eat!" His voice sounded angry, angry, and roared from the bottom of his throat.

Although I sympathize with him in my heart, I will not be unhappy because of this. After all, he doesn't affect me anything. I put the soup in front of the door and said, "Dad, the soup is at the door, and it's still in the clay pot." You'll get it yourself later. I'll go first. "If you put it in a clay pot, it won't cool down for at least a few hours.

Just as I turned around, I heard a faint, somewhat strange sound coming from the room. This kind of big courtyard has few people, and the surroundings are very quiet, and that little sound can be heard.

It was indeed that kind of sound, at first, I didn't listen carefully to the soup, and naturally I couldn't hear this subtle sound, but now I can be sure that it is indeed the sound that came from the old man's room.

I stopped, hesitated, and thought to myself, if I went to that room now, would I be in danger? Now I'm alone, and if I'm in danger, I don't even have anyone to protect me. After a moment's hesitation, I went back the way I came.

On the way back to our yard, I called Ren Qiancang, and it turned out to be turned off. After calling Bao Ye, he said that he was in school. I won't be back until eleven o'clock in the evening. But if the situation is unknown, should I go and see it? And Wu Guang is not at home now, if he waits for them to come back, Wu Guang will also come back. There's not much we can do about it.

I'm in the room, walking around anxiously, and I'm conflicted all the time, should I go over and have a look alone? In the process. I also called Ren Qiancang several times, but the phone was turned off. He's been out for so long, why hasn't he come back? And he also knows that the house is not peaceful now, and he can't leave me alone at home at night. Something important must have stumbled up.

After hesitating for a long time, I decided that I would go and see it alone. But for added security, I also put a note on the big red bed in our room. The note said, I'm going to deliver soup to the old man. If he writes like this, he will know where I am going, and even if someone sees it, he can be confused for a few minutes.

I changed into a light outfit before walking to the old man's yard, and on the way in the past, I also met a few security guards on patrol, and I also asked Wu Guang if he had returned. The answer is not yet. It's more reassuring.

When I went to the old man's yard, I saw that the soup in front of the door was still there. I listened with my ears pricked up to the sounds in the room, and there was really that strange sound, as if it was too painful to stand. By this time, it was already dark, but the lights were not turned on in the room. But it just happened to be convenient for me.

I put my ear to the window of his room and listened carefully to his voice, which was a faint sound, like a painful whine from the root of my teeth.

It was this voice all along, and it made me wonder what it was. What is there for him to suffer. Just as I had been listening to this voice outside the window for more than twenty minutes, and was about to leave, I suddenly heard a sentence from the old man in that painful voice. "You killed you!"

There were others in the room! I was stunned.
