Li Qinghui has lost a lot of weight in the past few months, and the hair on his head has fallen out and turned white.

His wife and children looked distressed, but there was nothing they could do. They don't have a good time these days, either.

For any family, the death of a loved one is a hurdle. After that, it will turn into a scar.

Li Qinghui is already middle-aged, his children are married, and the third generation is about to have a third generation, so it stands to reason that he should have been psychologically prepared. But his parents have always been in good health, only minor illnesses, and have never been hospitalized. people, but they went all at once.

I just bought a smart phone, and I just said that I was going to celebrate my 80th birthday, why did I go?

In the dead of night, Li Qinghui always thinks so. The thought of this makes me sleepless all night.

This pain of losing a father has not diminished with the passage of time, but has become more and more serious.

His wife, who gets along with him day and night, knows this best, but there is no way to help him solve it.

"You......" Miao Ying could only sigh when she looked at her husband's haggard appearance.

"I'm fine." Li Qinghui smiled bitterly, "It'll be fine after a while." ”

The two husbands and wives sat at the dining table, unaware, and relatively speechless.

After eating, washing the dishes, and washing up, the two husbands and wives went to bed, and then they had another opportunity to talk.

The TV set in front of the bed was playing a TV series, and the people in it were banging, banging, ping-pong, and fighting fiercely, but they didn't want to watch it.

This time, Miao Ying did not remain silent.

She felt that the time was almost up. It's been long enough. If this continues, Li Qinghui's condition will only get worse and worse.

She didn't expect that her father-in-law's death would be such a big blow to her husband.

Most people go through this and will get through it. Birth, old age, sickness and death, as well as experiencing the birth, old age, sickness and death of those closest to you, are the normal state of life.

"Dad, it's actually pretty good. Didn't Mom just say it that day? Saving people from the dead...... That's a good thing. I know you're sad, but Mom and Dad don't want you to do that. Our sons and daughters are worried, too. Miao Ying said the same cliché.

She doesn't have a particularly good way, let alone a lotus flower, and a few words can make Li Qinghui figure it out.

After thinking about it, all that came out of my head was what my mother-in-law had said that day.

An eighty-year-old man saved a thirty-five-year-old man, that can be regarded as a meaningful thing.

It's better than dying on a sickbed in frailty and pain......

In addition, Miao Ying couldn't think of other comforting words.

Li Qinghui sighed and hugged his wife a little awkwardly.

The two are old husbands and wives, but they are not used to such actions.

Slowly, Miao Yingcai relaxed her body and leaned on Li Qinghui's shoulder.

"I didn't feel much before...... "Li Qinghui said softly.

"Hmm." Miao Ying hurriedly responded.

She is not good at words, but she can be a good listener.

"Dad's going...... It's so sudden...... I didn't even think about it...... People are gone......" Li Qinghui's eyes were a little red.

Miao Ying also became sad.

"You know what's next. That day, Mom, they heard the phone call...... "Li Qinghui's body was slightly cold, and he used some force to hold Miao Ying's hand.

Miao Ying also felt a chill in her heart, and her hands trembled.

"Mom is right, that's Dad...... Dad called. Definitely. Li Qinghui said a little messy.

Naturally, a person of his age could not be a staunch atheist, at most he had no religious beliefs, but those strange things were always rooted in their minds, and when they were stimulated, they would break through the ground.

Li Qinghui feels that there may really be an underworld, a underworld, and ghosts in this world. It's just that ghosts are not the kind of images in horror movies that young people watch. Ghosts are more like wild boars that are only seen by chance in the city. Naturally, there shouldn't be wild boars in the city, but who knows...... There may be ingredients from the game store that run out, and there may be someone who doesn't have a dog or a cat, and who has a pig and happens to run out.

When you think about it this way, it makes sense.

That call also made sense.

His dad saved the woman with the same name and surname twice, only to fail the second time.

Since then, there has been no news of him.

That's easy to explain.

In terms of Li Qinghui's theory that I don't know where I heard it, this is fate. His father and the woman had the same name and surname, and they met by coincidence, and they had the grace of saving their lives, because of this fate, they had a second helping hand. After the woman's death, the fate was broken.

If this is the end of the matter, this is an urban weirdo, a story that has been passed down in their family. Years later, it may spread more widely, or it may disappear simply with the death of their generation. His grandson, grandson's grandson, grandson's grandson's grandson...... Probably none of them have ever heard this story, and they may not even know the name of their ancestors.

That's how the story ended.

But sadness doesn't.

“…… At that time, there was no time to think about anything. There's a lot to do. The funeral is busy, and I'm worried about the situation on my mother's side. She's alone now. The eldest sister and the younger sister wanted to take her to live, but she refused. Ask her to move in with us, and she won't ......," Li Qinghui continued, his tone thick with concern.

Before he himself got out of his grief, he had to worry about the condition of his old mother.

"It's just recently, recently, I feel like I've been idle...... I went to see my mother, and the house was ...... There's one less person in the house...... There is one less person......" Li Qinghui choked up, "It turns out that as soon as you enter the door, you can see Dad." Sometimes Mom doesn't know where to play cards and chat, so Dad is at home...... He's always at home......"

A handful of old people suddenly began to cry bitterly.

Miao Ying also shed tears and hugged her husband's body.

"I said that I would have a big birthday next year. He also wrote lists. Wrote the names of so many of his old brothers. He also learned to use a mobile phone. He wasn't happy with it before. Didn't even think about it. How can people be so good, and suddenly they are gone...... That's it...... He didn't leave anything behind......" Li Qinghui cried, aggrieved like a child, "I just took him to buy it, and he hasn't finished reading it yet...... He hasn't even played with his phone yet...... That's what he said...... That phone call ......"

A call that had nothing to do with their family, just to save a stranger.

Li Qinghui himself couldn't say clearly, the complicated emotions in his heart. In that sadness, how much complaint.

"Mom still thinks about him. I always thought he would call again. I was stunned to think about it. Li Qinghui wiped his face, "He is an eighty-year-old man, and he ran to save people...... Why doesn't he want to think about us when he can call? When he saves people, why doesn't he think about us? He hasn't seen his great-grandson yet...... Wenwen and they haven't gotten married yet, and they haven't graduated from college yet...... He hasn't even done it for his 80th birthday......"

Miao Ying had nothing to say.

No matter how beautiful the words are, they are nothing more than self-consolation after death. If they had a choice, they would of course choose to let their loved ones live. Even if he is an old man who is dying, even if he doesn't save people, he may not live long. They were all their dearest. It's good to live one more day and spend one more day with them.

"Didn't he think about Mom, didn't he think about us old and young?" Li Qinghui asked.

He didn't really want Miao Ying to give an answer.

"Dad is that kind of person." Miao Ying could only sigh like this.

Li Qinghui could not refute.

He also knew in his heart that if he did it again, his father would still save people. At that moment, he would not have considered the consequences of saving others.

Li Qinghui cried and laughed again.

"That's all easy to say...... He can give me a dream, and he can give my mother a dream...... Mom is like that, I feel distressed when I look at it. Li Qinghui said again, having calmed down.

Miao Ying was in the dimly lit room, struggling to see his face.

She followed his topic and said, "Mom is just like you, I can't think about it for a while." Are you sad, what is that...... Autism. Miao Ying thought of the word that has become popular in the past two years. Mom is another. She's ...... like that."

Miao Ying didn't know if it was good or not.

Self-deception and autism are not good things. It's just that if she is forced to choose one of the two, Miao Ying feels ...... She didn't think it would be better to do it at all.

"It's better to spend more time with her. It would be best if she could move in. We've been going to check it out more lately. Miao Ying said.

"I know. I also told Xiao Chen of their neighborhood committee. If there's anything, let her call me right away. ”

"Why don't we move in for a while?" Miao Ying thought of an idea.

Li Qinghui thought about it, this is really a way.

It's just that......

"Mom doesn't have to say yes. She may hate us for trouble. Li Qinghui was embarrassed.

His mother has been strong all her life, and she is in a hurry outside, and she is even more at home. Although she is old, she does not accept old age at all, and she has not changed her personality.

This was a good thing in the past.

Now, that's a nuisance.

Their children have no way to influence the old lady's thoughts, let alone persuade the old lady to change her mind.

At least, the soft grinding and hard bubble method will not work, and the tough method will not work.

It is only possible until the old lady herself suddenly changes her mind one day.

"Then I'll have to run a little harder. Mom must feel sorry for us, and maybe she will be relieved when the time comes. Miao Ying thought of another way.

"Yes." Li Qinghui nodded.

As long as parents are not scumbags, it is impossible to really beat their children.

The husband and wife have cried and talked like this, and their mood is much better.

Until noon the next day, Li Qinghui was in a good mood.

He didn't completely let it go.

Although he was a little ashamed to say it, he did have some dissatisfaction with his recently passed away father, the kind of nostalgia, like watching his father give the little sugar in the family to a relative's child when he was a child. He naturally doesn't care about that little bit of sugar now, but there is no way not to care about his father's "last words" and their family.

This delicate feeling disappeared when I received the call at noon.

The person who called was Chen Junying.

Chen Junying saw Li Yun, a stranger, picking up Aunt Li, and immediately called Li Qinghui.

Li Qinghui chuckled in his heart.

“…… Don't worry, Xiao Li. That young man looks quite kind, he shouldn't be that kind of person. I'm just afraid that your mother will be cheated out of money. Is her bank card with you? You'd better stop her first. Chen Junying persuaded.

She didn't just talk nonsense in order to appease Li Qinghui, she did think so.

Aunt Li was affected by the pain of losing her husband, so she may have engaged in feudal superstitious activities and was cheated of money. The things she brought out in large bags and small bags were not like possessions, but more like clothes and the like. Maybe that strange young man just fooled Aunt Li and made her misunderstand something......

Chen Junying couldn't think of the details. There is no such type of anti-fraud propaganda in the anti-fraud propaganda received by their neighborhood committee.

Chen Junying is not worried about that person making money and killing people, but she is afraid that when Aunt Li goes out, she not only brings those sundries, but also a bank card. If the money is cheated, once it is transferred, it will be difficult to recover it.

In addition to money, Aunt Li is an old lady, and there is nothing to deceive.

"I see. Thank you. Li Qinghui tried to calm down, "Do you know where he took my mother?" ”

"I checked with the police station and stared at it. The two of them took the subway, not ......far away, "Chen Junying was very careful and investigated these things first.

Aunt Li, an old lady who has just lost her husband and lives alone, her identity, coupled with the identity of Chen Junying's staff member of the neighborhood committee, is not difficult to check with the police station on their side.

The police have not been keeping an eye on telecom fraud for a day or two, and they are especially concerned about this kind of thing.

It's just that no matter how many things there are, it's inconvenient for them to do. Aunt Li's children always have to come forward in order to legally allow the police to officially intervene.

Li Qinghui listened, quickly agreed, hung up the phone, and called Aunt Li first.

He still had some doubts in his heart.

Aunt Li has been smart and capable all her life, and this impression has been engraved in Li Qinghui's life and has never changed.

Although he was worried, he didn't immediately believe Chen Junying's speculation.

The call went through quickly.

Li Qinghui breathed a sigh of relief.

There was indeed some misunderstanding.

"Why are you free to call?" Aunt Li's voice rang out.

"Mom, where are you?" Li Qinghui asked straight to the point.

"It's out there. Don't come here today. "Aunt Li is only a son and wants to visit her again.

"Where are you? What are you doing out there? Li Qinghui asked again.

"Oh, you're a son and a mother? Just take care of your own sons and daughters. Aunt Li said unceremoniously.

The tone is still the same, the kind of unreasonable and straightforward, which always made Li Qinghui helpless before.

"Mom, where the hell are you? Where are you going to tell us? I'll pick you up. Li Qinghui asked nervously.

"I have hands and feet, what do you say? Okay, okay, I'll go back after dinner. I'm going to party with my old sisters. Nothing. It's hanging. After Aunt Li finished speaking, she hung up the phone directly.

Li Qinghui's heart was raised.

He hurriedly dialed again, and this time, the phone was hung up directly by Aunt Li, and he didn't answer.

Li Qinghui was completely worried now.

Aunt Li's attitude is unusual.

Aunt Li is not a good liar, and she doesn't like to lie either. What she wants to do, she is open-minded and never thinks she needs to deceive people.

According to Chen Junying's previous arrangement, Li Qinghui called the police, and then drove to the address reported by Chen Junying.

He also called his son and daughter, and also called his two younger sisters, and informed the whole family.

When I arrived at the place where Aunt Li left the subway station, Li Qinghui was easy to find again.

After running around like a headless fly for a while, he finally received a call from the police at the police station.

They also checked the surrounding surveillance video and confirmed the route after Aunt Li got off the car, but the surveillance near this could not be covered without dead ends, they could only determine that Aunt Li went to the vicinity of Baiyue Mall, but it seemed that she did not enter Baiyue Mall.

Li Qinghui was distressed for a while, and suddenly remembered the music he heard on the phone just now.

"I'm singing. Someone at my mother's place was singing, and it was very loud. Li Qinghui said.

"Singing? There should be no one in Baiyue Mall to play songs. No one is doing any activity today. While checking the information, the police replied to Li Qinghui, "Oh, there is a KTV ...... nearby."

Speaking of this, the policeman's tone became strange.

An old lady was taken to a KTV closest to her home......

How to think about this thing, how weird.

Is this a new telecom scam trick?

Today's fraudsters don't deceive people to transfer money online, bank transfers, or go to hotels for quarantine, but trick people into going to KTV?

It's easy to say that it's a young man who is going to be deceived. Maybe, there are some illegal transactions in KTV.

But an old lady ......

Li Qinghui didn't think so much in his head.

The police asked him to wait a little longer, and their police were about to arrive at the scene, and when the time came, they took him to the scene to feel the platoon, but he didn't listen.

He didn't think about it, he went straight to the KTV, and when he arrived at the place, he was a little confused.

It's not that Li Qinghui hasn't been to KTV, but he definitely hasn't come much, and when he came, he didn't open a private room by himself. He followed the children at home or colleagues from the company to KTV, and he didn't look at how they opened the room and ordered songs, but when he entered the box, he was given the microphone and sang casually.

However, he didn't come here to sing.

He saw the waiter at the KTV and grabbed the person as soon as he could.

Aunt Li is a rare guest, and it is easy to be impressive.

The waiter had long suspected that Li Yun was doing disgraceful things, but now, when the old lady's son came to the door, he didn't stop him.

Li Qinghui followed behind the waiter, his heart pounding.

He hasn't seen Aunt Li yet, and he is not completely relieved, but if someone finds it, it is always good news.

At this time, Li Qinghui also had the time to think carefully about the whole thing and how he should deal with Aunt Li and the liar.

The waiter secretly glanced at Li Qinghui, "I said, sir, I'll say more." Talk to the old lady about it. The old lady may be alone, lonely. The old man also pays attention to the second spring. As long as the other party is good, don't mind the others. ”

When Li Qinghui heard this, his head buzzed.

His face twitched, and his face turned red.

"What do you say?" Li Qinghui shouted in a low voice.

"That's it...... Hey, that's it. The waiter squinted, "I think they look like a couple." It's a bit like you. ”

Li Qinghui almost fainted.

And his old mother, who is not almost eighty, was cheated of money, was she cheated?

His dad hasn't even passed the anniversary, and his mother has found a young man in his twenties? Looking for a young man who is a few years older than her grandson and grandson?

Li Qinghui was also confused, and at this moment, a word jokingly said by his niece Xixi suddenly popped up in his mind - Xiao Xianrou.

got a little fresh meat......

Li Qinghui gasped and held on to the wall.

The waiter saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly shut up.

It's not that he didn't think that his brain was in the wrong direction. But the strange behavior of Li Yun, Uncle Li, and Aunt Li really doesn't look like a family. Li Yun's identity as a connector is too obvious. Li Qinghui also made it clear that he was the son of the old lady.

Thinking about it like this, the waiter still insisted on making up his brain.

It took Li Qinghui a long time to ease his breath.

"That ......," the waiter was embarrassed, "it's really nothing." When the old man is old, finding a companion is different from the young one, that is, finding someone to talk to. I don't think that old man is a bad person, he is quite simple and kind......"

The waiter also went into the box to inquire.

Two elderly people sang here with them, and they were also afraid that people would sing high, one high-pitched, and directly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage.

Whether it was Uncle Li or Aunt Li, they all left a good impression on the waiter.

There is only Li Yun, a "pimp", and the waiter looks down on him.

There was another buzz in Li Qinghui's head.

"'Old man'?" Li Qinghui repeated.

"yes." The waiter subconsciously replied, looking at Li Qinghui's face that was beginning to be colorful again.

Li Qinghui did not suffer much damage this time.

He's been hit hard enough, and his resistance is much better now.

"Which box are they in?" Li Qinghui asked.

The waiter hurriedly led the way and pointed to the box to show him.

Li Qinghui didn't knock on the door, with a cold face, he pushed the door in.

The KTV box is dark and has limited lighting. Oldies were playing in the room, but no one was singing.

The two people sitting in the room heard the movement and looked up at the same time.

As the waiter said, the two were very husband and wife.

Li Qinghui's buzzing brain before was blank at the moment.

He and the old man met their eyes, and the two faces that were somewhat similar were equally shocked.

"Ah Hui ......"

The familiar title made Li Qinghui burst into tears in an instant.
