readx; Peter looked at the little girl in Eva's arms, with tears in her eyes and smiles again, and felt a pity in his heart. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info he looked at the man who had been dead for a long time next to the bed, and the pity in his heart made him even more irritable.

He could only go up to Eva and ask the little girl some questions to ease the sadness in his heart.

"What's your name?" asked Peter, with a kind smile at the little girl who was being spoiled in Eva's arms.

When the little girl heard Peter's question, she first buried her head in Eva's chest and wrapped her two small thin hands around each other, leaving only the back of her head facing Peter. The short black hair was very dull and dull. Peter smiled awkwardly, and just as he didn't know what to do, the little girl sensed that there was no danger and lifted her head from Eva's arms in embarrassment. She glanced at Peter vaguely and uneasily, sniffing and hesitating.

"Daddy calls me Emma, and you can call me that. Emma said to Peter in a milky voice. It's just that when he talked about his father, his expression showed anxiety and uneasiness, and tears flowed out again. Eva gave Peter a strange look and hurriedly coaxed Emma clumsily.

Emma cried for a while and struggled to get off Eva, she stretched out a thin little hand that crawled to her father's side and carefully patted his dry palm, Emma kept calling out while patting his father's palm, "Daddy." Wren couldn't bear to leave the house, and he looked up at the sky in the alley just to keep tears from falling from his eyes. Eva and Peter felt even more uncomfortable, and they didn't know how to tell Emma the truth, so they could only watch her cry.

Emma was very sad that she didn't get a response from her father, and she crawled back on top of Eva. She hugged Eva with both hands, and shouted that Daddy didn't want her anymore, Daddy woke up quickly, I would be obedient and obedient. As she spoke, she fell asleep in Eva's arms.

Emma's little face showed an anxious and frightened look from time to time, even in her sleep, and her limbs twitched from time to time. Eva patted her back with both hands and shook it gently.

With a sigh in his heart, Peter called Wren who was standing in the doorway. The two of them discussed what to do with the corpse lying on the bed. After a while, Wren left the house to buy a coffin.

Peter took advantage of this time to clean the whole room, in fact, there was nothing that he could use to clean up. There was only one large bed in the room, and on the bed sat Eva's body, and Emma fell asleep in Eva's arms. And then there was nothing left in this room. Peter didn't even see the cutlery and some other clothes.

He could only go out of the house and into the alley, asking from house to house, but as soon as he heard that he was from Emma's house, they all showed disgust at him and quickly closed the door. It seems that the slightest contact with him will be tainted with something bad.

Peter scratched his head, not quite understanding why. However, I had to continue to bite the bullet. Finally, a family may have seen him, and they were very pitiful and reluctantly threw a white cloth to him. Peter couldn't pay attention to the other person's attitude, he smiled gratefully at the family, then picked up the white cloth and walked back to the house he had just left.

He wrapped the body lying on the bed with the white cloth in his hand. Then he looked at Emma's sleeping little head that was buried in Eva's arms, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Peter fumbled around with himself for a long time before pulling out a pack of damp biscuits, and Eva's eyes lit up and she nodded at him in satisfaction. Peter carefully placed the bag of biscuits beside Emma, and then he whispered to Eva, "I don't know if Emma is hungry or not, and when she is done, give a little less, it's not good to eat too dry without water." ”

Eva rolled her eyes at him and raised her chin, Peter smiled and shook his head, knowing that he was fooling and that Eva would take care of Emma.

Peter looked at the bed and saw that there was no room left to sit down, and he could only circle around the room and wait for Wren to return. But after half a day, Wren didn't come, and he was a little worried. At this time, Eva was really distraught by Peter's incessant circle, and she motioned for Peter to go out and find Wren. Peter sneered, closed the dilapidated door, and left.

As soon as he walked into the alley, he saw Wren struggling to push a flatbed cart with a black coffin on it. When he saw Peter, he hurriedly beckoned to Peter, and waited until Peter came over before he said to him: "It's really strange, when I went to buy a coffin, I was supposed to send it here, but when people heard that it was Emma's family who drove me away, I finally borrowed this broken car by virtue of my status as a monk." What kind of angry thing did Emma's father do, why is it so miserable? After speaking, he sighed with emotion.

Peter shook his head and said he didn't know, and he also told Wren about going out to borrow cloth just now, and the two finally guessed that there must be something hidden here, but there was no time to investigate it now, and could only hope that Emma or Father Eddie would tell them later.

Wren was dumbfounded as soon as he said that the flatbed truck was pushed to the mouth of the alley, and he turned his head to look at Peter dumbfounded, and Peter also had a wry smile on his face.

It turned out that the car was a bit wide, or the alley was too narrow to push into. So this coffin is either to be carried in or to be carried out. Wren glanced at Peter and couldn't help but be happy when he noticed that he was also smiling wryly. He said to Peter, "What now? ”

Peter sighed and walked to the car, and said to Wren, "What else can I do, you help me put the coffin on my back, and I'll carry it." In general, give Emma an explanation. With Wren's help, he staggered back to Emma's house, staggering back to Emma's house. Wren rubbed his hands, twisted his body, and waited at the mouth of the alley.

A moment later, Eva walked out with a crying Emma in her arms, she smiled at Wren without saying a word, and turned her head to look at the alley behind her.

After a while Peter came back with the great coffin on his back, and this time he walked more slowly and seemed to have more difficulty. Wren hurriedly stepped forward to help Peter put the coffin on the flatbed. Peter straightened up, tapping his back with his hand, panting for air.

When he had rested, the group and a weeping Emma pushed a flatbed cart with a large coffin back to the chapel.
