Volume 1 The Winter of Halmar Chapter 37 The Graveyard and Robert

"Why go there?"

Andu looked at Pete with an indifferent expression.

His eyes were very calm, as if he was chatting about family affairs and asking how his friends were doing.

“......”

Pete looked at Andu with some trepidation, and couldn't answer this question for a long time.

He suddenly felt that Andu today seemed to be different from before.

Is it because you joined the church?

Pete timidly looked down at the church emblem on Andu's chest, his mouth opened and closed, but he still chose to be silent.

Andu didn't choose to continue to question Pete, and instead smiled.

"Whatever you are for, where you go, don't go again. ”

"Also, if you see anyone or something there, forget about him as soon as possible and stay away from him. ”

"Trust me, it's not good for you to be exposed to those things. ”

After saying this, Andu got up and prepared to leave, without reproach or questioning, nor concern or worry.

For Andu at this time, everything that should be done has been done, and Elizabeth's request, he has successfully completed it.

As for what Pete didn't want to say, he didn't have the heart to listen, there were too many dangers and hidden dangers in this world, and he could only focus on what was in front of him.

As for the painstaking way of finding out the problem and then risking his life to solve the problem, Andu can't do it.

He also wanted to figure out the origin of the world and live a good life with Elizabeth, and curiosity and impulsiveness did not help him.

Pete looked at Andu's figure preparing to leave, and suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart.

"That's, Mr. Andu......"

Andu stopped and looked back at Pete, who was sitting on the ground, with an inquiring expression.

"I, I, I want to talk to you about that cemetery. ”

Pete's expression changed from apprehension to firmness.

"Let's find a quiet place to talk. ”

Andu looked at Pete with a smile and pointed to the yard and said.

......

"Tell me, what do you want to say?"

Andu sat on the stone bench and brushed his priest's robe so as not to get dust on the ground.

Pete looked at him a little nervously and couldn't help but swallow.

Mr. Andu is so imposing......

"What's wrong, is there anything on my face?"

Andu looked at Pete strangely.

Pete was startled, and then immediately forced himself to concentrate and remember the events of the previous week.

"Yes, that's right. ”

He thought about it carefully for a while, and then said.

"About half a month ago, a man named Robert approached me and asked me if I would be interested in taking a job. ”

"I used to work in an antique shop for a while, and because he was a regular customer of the antique shop, when he came to me, I didn't think much about it and asked him what kind of work he did. ”

"He said that he had found something of value in a cemetery, but he was too timid to go alone, so he asked me if I could help him get it. ”

"I thought to myself that it was better not to touch the dead man's things, and his approach was no different from tomb robbing, so I refused him, who knew that that that night, Julie suddenly had a high fever, and the dean was not there, and I had no money to treat Julie myself......"

At this, Pete lowered his head in pain.

Andu looked at him and sighed softly.

"Julie is only six years old! Those damn doctors, they won't treat her because I don't have any money!"

Pete's eyes reddened, his voice began to tremble, and his chest heaved violently with anger and grief.

Andu had heard Elizabeth talk about it before, and when Pete took Julie to the doctor for the second time that day, Julie was no longer good.

"So, in order to save Julie, you promised that Robert to go to the cemetery. ”

Andu patted Pete's shoulder, looked at the other party and endured the grief in his heart, and comforted.

"You're not doing anything wrong, Julie will definitely go to heaven too. ”

The paradise of Akmund is not the same as the one that Andu knew, the paradise of this world is real, and only the most faithful servants of God have the slightest possibility of going to that world after death.

Andu looked at Pete silently, and the two didn't speak for a long time.

Pete's sad mood calmed down after a while, and he looked at Andu apologetically and continued.

"Although there is no way to undo Julie's affairs, since I have received the money, I can only go to the cemetery. ”

"It was the afternoon of the next day, and I remember very well that it was a very sunny day, and Robert and I went to a deserted cemetery in the western suburbs, and to be honest, I would not have dared to go with him at night. ”

Saying this, Pete looked at Andu and found that he didn't mean to laugh, and he was quietly relieved.

He seemed to be frightened, and after a short time he said he was almost there, and refused to go any further. ”

"I wasn't really going to continue, but he said he'd pay me half more if I could get it back by myself. ”

"I thought to myself that since I was here, I could make more money, so I agreed to him. ”

Andu looked at Pete and asked suddenly.

"You say he doesn't want to go on?"

"Well, that's right, if it wasn't for me that day, he would definitely not dare to go alone, you don't know how scared he was at the time. ”

Pete recalled the situation that day and said with a serious expression.

"You go ahead. Andu nodded, motioning for Pete to continue.

Then I went inside by myself, and after walking about twenty or thirty meters, as he said, I saw a piece of clothing that had been broken into pieces of cloth at a collapsed tombstone. ”

Andu's expression gradually became serious, and his body gradually straightened, listening carefully to Pete's memories.

"Next to that dress, is the thing that Robert said, in fact, I don't understand, that thing was wrapped in a black cloth at the time, and obviously no one has opened it, how does he know that thing is valuable?"

Pete said suspiciously, gesturing his hands twice from time to time.

"That thing is very heavy, and I have a little difficulty with both hands, and it feels round in my hands, and it is not easy to hold. ”

Andu looked at Pete's vivid memories and suddenly smiled.

"So you fell?"

"Well, that's pretty much it. Pete's face turned red, and he said, "Don't blame me, the main thing looks small, who knows it's so heavy?"

Andu slowly put away his smile and said seriously.

"Tell me about how you fell. ”

Pete looked at Andu a little awkwardly, and sighed when he found that he couldn't hide.

"As soon as I picked it up, I fell. ”

Pete smiled bitterly: "Actually, the fall was not heavy, but the calf happened to be scratched by a branch." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to his left leg.

Andu nodded and said, "After that, you came back with him?"

"Hmm. Pete thought for a moment and said helplessly: "Then he gave me the rest of the money, and I haven't seen him since." ”

Graveyard, rags, black spherical objects......

Andu thought for a moment and said, "If that Robert comes to you again, remember not to deal with him." ”

Pete nodded violently and said, "No, I don't want to have contact with him again in my life!"

Although Pete doesn't know exactly what happened, legends like evil things are no secret among the folk.

After so many things, no matter how stupid he was, he probably guessed his own situation.

It turns out that these are not legends!

Pete felt a sudden chill in his back and a chill in his neck......

"What do you think?"

Andu's sudden question startled Pete, and then he came back to his senses.

"Nothing, nothing......"

Andu briefly chatted with Pete for a few more words, asked Robert about his appearance and home address, and quickly left the orphanage.

It's been too long, it's time to be late!

Andu glanced at his pocket watch, calculated the time in his heart, and couldn't help but speed up his pace.

As for Robert's matter, he will have to wait until he has finished his work before he has time to think about it.

......

The dimly lit room exudes heavy moisture and various odors.

The little boy tried to stand on tiptoe, reaching for the kettle on the table, but it was always a little short.

He kept trying, although it was only a little bit close, but it was such a small distance that it became a hill that could not be jumped.

"Ahem...... cough cough cough cough ......"

A painful cough came from the room, and the boy stopped in fright and trotted into the room.

"Dad, what's wrong with you!?"

The little boy anxiously grasped the man's withered hand on the bed.

He was holding it so hard, so flustered, that there were obvious signs of grip on the hand that was held.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

The man looked at the boy beside him painfully, his eyes were tender, guilty, and sad.

In the room, the coughing grew fainter, replaced by the boy's increasingly helpless cries......

......

The deceased was a caretaker at a cemetery in the southern suburbs, and his wife died two months ago, also due to physical decay. ”

Carmen flipped through the notebook in her hand and reported with a grim expression.

"yes, I see. ”

Chad frowned and nodded, his gaze swept across the room, and finally stopped at the little boy who had been silently guarding the corpse.

The look on his face froze slightly, and then he walked over with a gloomy expression.

"He's your father, isn't he?"

"Hmm. The boy raised his head, looked at Chade with those clear eyes, and asked, "Uncle, are you going to take Daddy?"

The boy's words were like a dagger in his throat, and he nodded lightly, touching the boy's fluffy hair.

"Uncle just took him somewhere else for treatment. Chad said with a smile.

The boy looked at him innocently and shook his head.

He knew that his father would never come back.

Just like my mother two months ago, a group of people came to the house and took her with her.

After that, he never saw his mother again.

Today, these people are here again, in order to take his father.

"Is it heaven?"

The boy hesitated for a moment and asked seriously.

Because his father told him that his mother was there.

The boy's words pierced Chad, as well as everyone present.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and fell silent.

"Yes, he can go to heaven. ”

Cha De said firmly.
