7、People's hearts are like knives

Under the last street lamp, Zhou Hao saw Mr. Yuan again. He was still in a worn cotton padded jacket, with his head down. He stood still under the lamp, like he was remembering and waiting

Two steps away, Zhou Hao shouted, "I've come to see you, Mr. Yuan ~ ~"

The old man still raised his head slowly and mechanically. His pale face was dazzling under the warm yellow light. A pair of eyes without focal length looked at Zhou Hao in such an empty space. Without blinking, the outline of the whole body was blurry, as if it had been emptied. In the light under the dark night, it seemed to disappear at any time~~

Zhou Hao can see clearly this time. This state and expression are definitely ghosts. His heart is tightening and his body is shaking~~

"It's you, a child." the old man's empty eyes slightly focused, "aren't you afraid of me?"

"Afraid" ~ "Zhou Hao tried to resist the impulse of turning around and running away." but when I think of this cold night, your old man standing here alone, I feel sad. It's not fair to you and the residents of the town

Zhou Hao wants to look more just, but the old man doesn't take this~~

"Fair? What is fairness? " "At the beginning, I just wanted to see my son and grandson for the last time. They all disagreed. It was their fault."

"Oh? What's going on? " Zhou Hao was shocked, which was different from what he knew~~

The old man took a deep look at Zhou Hao, and his face calmed down slowly. It seemed that he didn't communicate with others for a long time, or no one could understand his mood. The old man began to share his experiences over the years~~

At the beginning of the story, there is not much difference between what the old woman said and what the old man said. He can tell his love for his children and grandchildren from the old man's words. Even if his son is busy at work and doesn't have time to come back, he has never been dissatisfied with him~~

It wasn't until he was ill that the direction of the story changed~~

At the beginning, the relative was kind to Mr. Yuan. At that time, although the old man was ill, he was still in good spirits. There was no problem in taking care of himself. The relative only needed to take care of his meals three times a day. Anyway, they also had to eat, just adding a bowl of rice, but they could get a lot of money, so they were very satisfied~~

But after a few months, Mr. Yuan's health was getting worse and worse. Until he fell accidentally, he even had difficulty walking. At this time, they not only had to take care of the old man's body, but also helped to wash and wash clothes, which made them reluctant~~

But it's also human nature. No one can do such a thankless thing. In addition, when people get old, they usually have a smell. In addition, they often can't deal with the urination in time, which makes them dirty and smelly. They call the old man's son and say they don't want to help take care of the old man any more~~

Mr. Yuan's son was also worried after receiving the phone call. His father's physical condition was deteriorating, but he was too busy. At last, he couldn't help but go to ask that relative again, and he was willing to pay more for living expenses. He asked them to help him take care of the old man for a while. When he was finished, he would come back and take the old man to the city hospital~~

In the end, the relatives agreed to continue to take care of the elderly under the temptation of money, but in this reluctant mentality, how can they do their best?

Although they still take care of the old man, they don't do it seriously at all. Apart from not letting him starve to death, they clean everything without a single fault. They only help to do it occasionally. Although the old man has a hard time, he is afraid of causing trouble to his son, so he endures it silently~~

Even though they knew that the old man's attitude was even worse when he didn't tell his son the truth. If they didn't like it, they would insult and beat the old man. The old man spent the last time of his life in such dark days. At this time, many people in the town already knew that they were not good to the old man, but they were all indifferent to themselves. No one came out to persuade them It also makes the old man very desperate~~

At the last stage, the old man was paralyzed in the bed, and it was very difficult to even move his hands. At that time, they panicked, because if the old man died, they would never get the living expenses given by his son, but it was too late for them to work hard~~

The old man knew that he was going to die. He begged them to see their son and grandson for the last time, but they were afraid that the abuse of the old man would be discovered by his son, so they resolutely refused to call. The poor old man didn't even meet his last wish before he died~~

In this way, Mr. Yuan died with regret. He did not hate that they abused him, did not hate the indifference of the people around him, and did not hate that the pressure of life forced his son to have no time. He only hated that they were so cruel that he did not let him see his closest relatives, so he took revenge on them as soon as he became a ghost~~

The street lamp they stand at now is the place where the old man takes his grandchildren home and sends them away. He saw his son at the funeral, but his grandson hasn't come back for several years. He wants to wait here, hoping to see his lovely grandson again~~

"But you should know that after your death, your son may never come back to this town again" ~ "Zhou Hao can't wait that long. The time limit of the task is like a blade hanging on his head, so that he can't relax at all~~

"I know ~ ~" the old man nodded, his eyes looked forward, his face was not happy or sad, "but this is the only hope"

Zhou Hao is in a hurry. It seems that the old man will never give up until he sees his grandson. But where is he going to find his grandson in the middle of the night? Should he go to the city where the old man's son is tomorrow morning? Although it's still enough time to go back and forth, how can we say in the past?

Do you really mean to say that, sorry, your grandpa missed you, please come with me, and bring you back after seeing Grandpa ..

He's definitely going to be kicked him out~~

Now he has forgotten to be afraid. He paced back and forth under the street light, even sometimes he said to himself, just trying to find a way to let the old man's obsession dissipate and complete the task as soon as possible. But if someone saw his state, he would be shocked~~

Just as he was in a state of anxiety, his mobile phone suddenly sent a sense of vibration. Someone sent him wechat. He clapped his thigh. Yes, he didn't have to face to face to see it. Now he can have a direct video chat!

"Do you know your grandson's contact information?" Zhou Hao takes out his mobile phone and tries to ask.

"Of course I know ~ ~" it's impossible for the old man to forget anything so important. "1xxxxxxx, Xiaohua has been this number since he went to primary school, but later I had less chance to call him

Zhou Hao tries to find the wechat of this number. Fortunately, he can find the contact person. A friend of Zhou Hao applies for it with the following information: add a friend and send a red packet of 10 yuan~~

Then one person and one ghost wait anxiou
