Chapter 172: The Old Man's Choice
"There's another child, why don't you go and see it first?"
Earlier, although the two old men asked about men, it was the power of desire that determined whether they could enter "heaven". The two of them didn't know that without using the light of creation as a last resort, there was really no good way for men to stop them. The current situation can only be dissuaded through words, moved by emotion, and understood by reason.
Sure enough, after the man finished speaking, the two old men were stunned for a moment, and after glancing at each other, they both nodded. The thoughts of ghosts are less physically blocked, and under the man's magical powers, they are even more clear. He could clearly feel the concern of the two old men for Evans. Nine years of sleep is nine years of separation, they are like people who have been away from home for a long time, and when they come back, they naturally want to take a look at their relatives, even if they are about to leave just after they come back, at least they can leave with peace of mind.
The plan worked, and the man nodded secretly, "Go", and led the two old men to the bedroom next to him. At this point, he turned his head to Christine and Kevin.
"Now is your chance, go, go and persuade them, use the bond between you to persuade them to stay. ”
The man didn't speak, but the two of them had already "heard" his words, their eyes lit up, and they immediately rushed to the bedroom happily.
"Whew!"
On the spot, the man wiped the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, sat down at the table again, and continued the unfinished business of satiety. With a little finger, the video that had just been broadcast on the TV started from the beginning again. The interesting stories and troubles of the family are all gathered in this videotape, and the men laugh from time to time.
Well, it's pretty good.
It didn't take long to watch the video before it was paused, and half of the breakfast on the plate in front of him was suddenly swept away by the man, and he realized that they were coming from the bedroom. Kevin was the first to walk out of the door, he saw that the man's bulging cheeks were squirming wildly, he saw a drop of thick soup hanging from the corner of the man's mouth, and he was still a little panicked when he saw the man's expression. He wanted to laugh, but he held back and quickly winked at the man.
The man understood, nodded violently, chewed, and stretched out his tongue to lick the corners of his mouth. Kevin was stunned, snorted in his nose, almost couldn't hold back his laughter, and hurriedly buried his head and bit his lip. He didn't realize that unconsciously, when facing a man, the awkward feeling in his heart had faded a lot, and his state of mind had become much calmer.
By the time the two old men and Christine had walked out of the bedroom, the man had already gotten up and left the table, regaining his dignified posture, giving people a sense of sacredness and sublimity. However, at this time, seeing the man behaving like this, Kevin only felt funny, and it was no longer a matter of fact.
"O God, do you mean that you want us to be resurrected?"
As soon as the two old men came out of the bedroom, they went straight to the man.
"Well, you still haven't persuaded them...... Of course, I can now perceive the reluctance of your grandparents...... What......? Yes, you also know that it is not right to be strong...... I know you love them, and I can responsibly tell you that they love you just as much...... Well, I'll try to hold it back one last time. ”
After an encrypted call, the three reached a preliminary consensus. Facing the two old men, the man smiled again.
"Heaven has set a place for you, and you can come back later if you wish. ”
Hearing this, the two old men understood that the "Yawei" in front of them was giving them a chance to choose. After a moment's thought, they turned to look at Christine and Kevin. In the joy of the two children, the grandparents showed a kind smile.
"Christine. Grandpa said.
"Eh!" Christine replied with a smile.
"Kevin. Grandma said.
"Grandma. Kevin's smile was just as bright.
"We're leaving. ”
The two children were dumbfounded.
"We're dead, and the people we know, the circles we live in, know we're dead. "We are resurrected, but we have to live, we have to live." But we can't disturb others, otherwise we will only add to the troubles of others. Good boys, you are so smart that you can't figure it out. ”
"Nope. ”
"Stay. ”
Speaking of which, the two children already know that they can't keep the old man, no matter what the reason, they can't keep it. They are just using their temperament, like children left behind in the countryside, brutally dragging their parents who are about to return to the city to work. All futile efforts are only due to reluctance.
But they're not children anymore. It took nine years to accept the reality of the death of my grandparents. Although they don't admit it on the surface, they know in their hearts that what is past is the past after all. At the moment, the reaction of the grandparents only deepened their experience.
"We are relieved to see that you and Evans are safe and sound. ”
Grandma smiled kindly, and they finally stopped talking, but there was still some melancholy between their eyebrows.
"Separation is not forever, children. Grandpa said with relief.
"You have to live well. Grandma admonished.
The two children nodded vigorously.
Seeing this, the man bowed his head slightly, his body was radiant, and in an instant, he turned into a blond and blue-eyed image of Jesus. He stretched out his arms, and behind him appeared a vast world, countless lights, countless believers, and countless gorgeous buildings. The fountains of the earth, flowing milk and honey, moistened the trees and made them bear fruit. The angels in the sky, playing music and dancing, and singing beautifully, praise the dazzling light on the throne in the distant giant city.
Christine and Kevin, both froze. Not to mention the two old men, who are already intoxicated at the moment, almost want to devote themselves to it.
"Hey, old George, oh, and Mrs. Adams!"
Suddenly, a figure jumped out of "heaven", bluffing everyone, including the man.
"Grandpa John!"
Christine couldn't help but exclaim, the old man who suddenly appeared in front of them was an old neighbor and an old acquaintance next door, and he had a good relationship with their family. Moreover, he died just two days ago.
"Oh, Christine, and ...... Kevin? It must be Kevin, I can recognize you. The old man named John seemed to be very lively, and as he spoke, he took the hands of the two old men, "I thought you were going to heaven before me! ”
The two old men laughed, laughed easily, laughed heartily. Christine and Kevin, seeing that the two old men were so happy for the first time since they returned to the world, finally let go of the reluctance in their hearts. The two of them looked at the three old men like this, stepped into the heavens, and gradually walked away until they disappeared into countless rays of light.
The brilliance flashed away, and when the two of them opened their eyes again, the scene of heaven was no longer in front of them, and the man had also regained his appearance of black hair and blue eyes, but there were already several golden threads mixed in the blackness.
"Alright, call it a day. You two should be relieved, right? There's one more thing waiting for us to discuss. This time, the man said in earnest, "Whew!
As soon as the words fell, he took a few steps back, and the whole person was paralyzed on the sofa without any image, looking tired.
"Ahem. She covered her mouth, "Mr. Henry, what's the matter, please tell me." ”
"You forgot?" the man sat up, "Aren't you going to ask Kevin if he wants to go through the training?"
With a frown, recalling her previous conversation with the man, she slowly exhaled a breath with a calm face.
"Kevin?" she asked.
"Someone has to stand up, and everything that started with me should end with me. ”
Kevin's face was serious, as if this was an uncompromising matter. He knew that Christine had a deep worry in her heart, and this worry had been there since he told her about a previous experience, and when he told her that there would be an experience in the future. For this reason, he is ready to fight a protracted battle with Christine.
More than two years of peaceful life made him greedy for this ordinary taste. But he knows that his life is destined not to be peaceful forever. In countless moments of peace of mind, he would tell himself that the gift of fate had already been secretly marked with a price, and there was no need to pay the price now, which did not mean the future, let alone forever. He needs to fight for a better future for himself, for his family, and for the world.
He'd convinced himself, and now, he's going to convince Christine.
"Then you go. ”
Surprisingly, Christine didn't stop it.
"Huh?" Kevin blinked.
"After what I just did, I understood a truth. Some people do some things, others can't stop them. She looked relieved and her face was serene, "Kevin, you say, am I right?"
"Thank you, Christine. ”
As he said thanks, Kevin's expression was full of apologies.
"Good!" said the man, who was delighted, with a wave of his big hand, "Then let's go now!"
"Eh, wait!" Kevin suddenly called out.
"What's wrong?" the man tilted his head and glanced at Kevin, "Want to be a deserter?"
"Hehe, of course not. Kevin scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed, "That is, before you go, can you go somewhere else." ”
"Somewhere else, somewhere?" the man looked suspicious.
"Oh!
Christine pointed her finger at Kevin, smiling, who followed suit, smirking.
"What's weird? Let me take a good look!"
The man exerted his magical powers, and in the next second, his face was extremely ugly.
"Feed me dog food too?!"
