Chapter 3 Door-to-door visits
"It's okay to go home, but tomorrow we have to take Tang Xiaoyi back to the base." Li Boyu said.
Tang Xiaoxu said: "What do you do when you take it back?" ”
Li Boyu said: "You may not know yet, all the people in the life lock team have signed a treaty, and after death, the body will return to the life lock base, and the person in charge, Feng Ye, said that he can give a grace day and let Tang Xiaoyi go home to see." ”
"You want to take the dead body with you?" Yin Keer felt that these people were simply too inhuman.
Li Boyu bowed to the three of them: "The regulations of the superiors were also signed voluntarily by Tang Xiaoyi, please abide by the wishes of the deceased." ”
"Okay, my mom must want to kill my brother, let's not waste time." Tang Xiaoxu gave Li Boyu the address of her home, and called two taxis, one to send Xia Ning home, and the other to let Yin Keer accompany her to take her brother home, and Yin Keer was reluctant to leave, this was her last chance to accompany Tang Xiaoyi.
Along the way, Tang Xiaoxu didn't think about how to talk to her mother about it. When she arrived at home, Tang Xiaoxu asked Yin Keer to accompany her brother to sit in the car for a while, and then go upstairs to prepare her mother psychologically.
In the house, Tang Xiaoxu's mother was still watching TV, and Tang Xiaoxu came over and said, "Mom, my brother didn't do anything bad." ”
Tang Xiaoxi's mother is named Xu Xia, Chinese New Year's Eve is nine-year-old this year, and has a son and a daughter. A year and a half ago, her son ran away from home, although she always said on the surface that this kid must have done something unseemly, but she never really thought like this in her heart, but she couldn't find a reasonable explanation, she said: "Xiaoxu, mom knows, you miss your brother too, he hasn't come back for a year and a half." ”
Tang Xiaoxu said: "Mom, my brother is a member of the life lock team. ”
Xu Xia turned off the TV and said, "What did you say?" How do you know? ”
"He is a big hero, and everyone on Yongan Street has seen it today."
"Then what are you crying about?" Xu Xia saw that Tang Xiaoxu's expression was wrong.
Tang Xiaoxu said: "My brother died, and he is downstairs now." ”
"Xiaoxu, don't be kidding." Although Xu Xia said this, she had already stumbled to the balcony, and when she saw the familiar face in the car downstairs, she was stunned, and Tang Xiaoxu helped her to the taxi downstairs.
Yin Keer opened the car door and called out with red eyes: "Auntie." ”
Xu Xia lay in front of the car and cried bitterly, Tang Xiaoxu was also infected by Xu Xia, and her heart was very uncomfortable.
The driver showed a disgusted expression, and before he could speak, Tang Xiaoxu said first: "Mom, let's take my brother home first!" ”
The three of them laboriously carried Tang Xiaoyi back upstairs together, Xu Xia washed and wet her hand towel to wipe the blood stains for Tang Xiaoyi, and muttered in her mouth: "Xiaoxu, call your dad and ask him to come back immediately, Ke'er, I have worked hard for you today, and you see that Auntie didn't treat you well." ”
Yin Keer shook her head and said, "Auntie, it's okay for me." ”
Tang Xiaoxu dialed Tang Rongshan's phone: "Dad, go home, my brother and he... It's back. ”
After receiving the news, Tang Rongshan rushed back from the field overnight, came back to see the scene at home, asked what happened, and remained silent, sitting at the coffee table and smoking three cigarettes in a row.
The QQ prompt on the mobile phone sounded, Tang Xiaoxu opened it and saw that it was the news of Yin Keer, it was two o'clock in the morning, she hadn't slept yet, and the message content was: Is uncle okay?
Tang Xiaoxu replied: It's not good, Ke'er, go to bed early, don't be sad.
Yin Keer sent a sentence: I can't sleep, I want to cry when I think about it, you comfort your uncle and aunt first, don't be too sad.
Tang Xiaoxu replied with an "um" and turned off the mobile phone and put it on the table.
"What is this?" Xu Xia took out a vessel containing red liquid from Tang Xiaoyi's windbreaker pocket, Tang Xiaoxu took it and looked at it, and said, "It should be blood." ”
Xu Xia stopped talking, and she didn't care what it was.
Tang Xiaoxu accompanied them until five o'clock in the morning, and when she saw that the two of them had stabilized their emotions a little, she said that Tang Xiaoyi's body was going to be returned to the base and locked.
"What? My son's life is gone, and the body has to be taken away? Xu Xia's mood deteriorated again, and her dry eyes were full of tears: "What kind of sin is this?" ”
Tang Rongshan, who had not spoken, snuffed out the cigarette butt: "If they want to ask for someone, let them take my old life." ”
The three of them were guarding beside Tang Xiaoyi without eating, Tang Rongshan made a phone call, looking for a cemetery for Tang Xiaoyi, Xu Xia held Tang Xiaoyi's hand and didn't want to let go, the two of them were determined not to let Tang Xiaoyi go.
Tang Xiaoxu washed the silver knife he used and put it on his desk, and Yin Keer sent another message: Xiaoxu, can Xiaoyi's silver knife be given to me?
Tang Xiaoxu originally wanted to keep it for herself, but when she thought that it was already pitiful for Yin Ke'er to stay by Tang Xiaoyi's side without a suitable identity, she decided to leave the silver knife for her and replied: Okay.
Yin Ke'er simply said "thank you", sat up from the bed, cried all night last night, and finally fell asleep, it was still Tang Xiaoyi in the dream, and when he woke up, he remembered that his silver knife was probably his personal belonging, so he asked Tang Xiaoxu.
At about twelve o'clock in the afternoon, it was the time when Tang Xiaoxu took Tang Xiaoyi away yesterday, and two teenagers came downstairs, it was Li Boyu and the young man who didn't say a word beside him, and they knocked on the door of Tang's house.
Tang Rongshan said: "No." ”
Xu Xia and Tang Xiaoxu didn't move, they were still beside Tang Xiaoyi. Xu Xia said: "Xiaoxu, do you think your brother is handsome?" "It's like talking about family.
Tang Xiaoxu said: "Yes, my brother is already very handsome. ”
After a while, the knocking on the door stopped, and the door opened with a "click", and the two teenagers went directly to the second floor.
Tang Rongshan stopped at the top of the stairs: "You are trespassing on a private house." ”
Li Boyu showed a sad expression: "Tang Xiaoyi is my team member, he is dead, and I am also very sad." I also ask my uncle to mourn, this is a copy of the life and death order treaty signed by Tang Xiaoyi, and my uncle can see it for himself. ”
Since it was a copy, even if it was torn up, it was useless, Tang Rongshan didn't want to see it, and asked the sentence that Tang Xiaoxu didn't ask: "Since you said that he was your team member, what were you doing when he was fighting against Warcraft?" ”
"I'm sorry, uncle, we have to protect more than this place in Penghu County, I do have responsibility for not taking care of Xiaoyi, but not only Xiaoyi, if one day I or Wei Xu die, the corpse will also be ordered to lock the base, and I hope my uncle will understand." Li Boyu's eyes were sincere, and Tang Rongshan couldn't keep blaming a child, so he restrained his anger and said, "Do you have to take Xiaoyi away?" ”
Li Boyu said: "The base will arrange the best tomb for Xiaoyi, as well as this bank card, which has 100,000 yuan, which is Tang Xiaoyi's remaining salary and the pension given by the base." The person in charge said that the uncle and aunt wanted to see Xiaoyi, and they could do it at any time. ”
The two who were still resolute last night were a little shaken by what Li Boyu said, and in the end the two elders compromised, and they couldn't keep stalemate.
