The old lady was surprised when she heard this.
Ouyang continued to cry: "I saw her eyes open! She was looking at me! Her mouth was open, she... I heard... I heard her crying, she was calling for help... She didn't commit suicide... She was sure She didn't commit suicide... Those people said that she committed suicide because her parents were quarreling and wanted a divorce... No... We made an agreement. We agreed to go to college together and travel together. We also talked about having a wedding together in the future, and our children would also be together... Together for a lifetime... She didn't... didn't commit suicide... "
At this point, Ouyang covered his face, and a muffled cry came from the palm of his hand.
Wu Chenxi suddenly cried and shouted: "I regret it! I regret it! I don't want to go to college with you and do those things together! Ouyang Xiao, did you hear that!"
She reached out to grab Ouyang's hand, but it passed through Ouyang's body. She didn't give up and continued to reach out to touch Ouyang.
"I regret... I regret it! I won't do those things with you anymore, I... I committed suicide... Don't... don't think about it anymore..." Wu Chenxi collapsed on the ground, tears bursting out and streaking down his cheeks. , disappeared into the air, "I committed suicide, don't think about it... don't think about it..."
The old lady's voice sounded calm and calm, "Children of your age are always so impulsive. If you are unhappy, you will die."
Ouyang put down his hand and looked at the old lady with tearful eyes.
"Your friend just can't think about things for a while. Do you want to imitate her stupid behavior?" the old lady asked.
Ouyang put his hands on his knees, and the tears in his palms wet his pants.
She said: "Auntie, my mother said, you said there is something wrong with your old house. You cannot sell it or give it to others. You will live there until you die."
The old lady's cheeks twitched.
Wu Chenxi looked at the old lady and Ouyang blankly.
My heart lifted.
What does Ouyang want to say? She thinks what happened to Wu Chenxi has something to do with the house in the Sixth Village of Workers and Peasants
Ouyang sniffed and continued: "You also said that everything happened to uncle and aunt because they took you out and sold the house. My father found someone to sell the house."
The old lady said in a deep voice: "What are you going to say? Do you think I, the old lady, killed your little friend?"
Ouyang didn't answer. She lowered her head and tears fell out of her eyes. "Is it because dad sold the house and retribution came to me? I caused Xixi to be hurt?"
The old lady let out a heavy breath, suddenly slapped the armrest hard, and cursed: "I knew you two would be in trouble! What do you kids know? Your kid died, and you blamed me! Your dad sold the house They are not dead, and neither is I, the old woman! Did you see a dog being run over by a car on the roadside and blame me, the old woman?"
Ouyang was frightened by the old lady's loud voice and trembled, but she raised her head and said seriously: "Uncle and aunt took you to live because of me."
The old lady was stunned.
"I remember when I was a child, I went to my aunt's house for dinner. When we came home, the three of us walked together, and you walked us to the gate of the community. I told my uncle that it was very hard for you and you had to climb stairs. The uncle and aunt next door to our house took the grandfather and grandma to live in the elevator room. I...I told him, and also said that he was unfilial. Is it like what was shown on TV, that he disliked his mother-in-law and wanted to kill her? Drive away... I told them..." Ouyang stammered as the old lady's eyes widened, but he still said everything, "They want to sell the house, it was dad... I was the one who said it at that time After digging out his father's old photos and looking through his classmates' directory, he remembered to contact him. That classmate was in real estate. After they contacted him... "
The old lady opened her mouth and her body trembled, "What are you talking about? Are you a kid out of your mind?"
She reached out and touched Ouyang's forehead.
I saw her hands shaking.
Wu Chenxi made no sound at all and stopped crying.
I can feel that there is a void in her heart now.
"I've been thinking about it for two days... That night... the day Xixi's accident happened, my mother came to pick me up from school, talking about you and the house. That night, I dreamed... I remembered everything when I woke up... It was me... It's because of me..." Ouyang grabbed the old lady's hand, "Auntie, it's because of me... What should I do? What should I do..."
The old lady calmed down and patted Ouyang's hand, "How come you, a little girl, are as feudal and superstitious as an old lady like me? I scolded your uncle and aunt and your father just to complain. How could there be so many things? I After living in that house for so many years, you see your uncle and aunt grew up there. Haven't you also been there? There are still many people living there, and some have lived there all their lives. My old neighbors a few days ago Call me and tell me that the place is going to be demolished. Look..."
Ouyang tightly grasped the old lady's hands that were like dead branches.
"It's okay, it has nothing to do with you." The old lady spoke in a gentle tone for the first time.
"Really, it doesn't matter," Ouyang asked suspiciously, "But, but I heard... Xixi... she definitely didn't commit suicide... I know... her eyes, and her mouth open... she She is shouting for help... She must be shouting for help... "
"Then someone killed her. The police will investigate the case and catch the murderer." The old lady said firmly.
What else does Ouyang want to say.
"You are just frightened and are thinking wildly. Don't think too much. You lie down and take a nap at my place. When you get up, you can eat at my place at noon. The food here is very delicious. They have many dishes. , and can also cook Western food. Do you like steak? They had children at home, so they asked the kitchen to make steak. They said it was very delicious and a big piece." The old lady pressed Ouyang Zai* as if coaxing a child. *lie down.
"Auntie..." Ouyang wanted to get up.
"Shhhhhh... listen to my aunt, lie down, close your eyes, and have a good sleep." The old lady said.
She covered Ouyang with a quilt and patted her gently, "Close your eyes, don't talk, don't think too much. Have a good sleep here, and you'll be fine when you wake up. When you wake up, eat well, I Promise you, we will go to my old house and have a look, and then we will go find your little friend, offer her incense, and kowtow to her. It will be fine. Everything will be fine... "
There were still tears in the corners of Ouyang's eyes, but she closed her eyes.
The old lady gently pulled up the curtains, opened the drawer of the bedside table, and took out the small tin box inside.
The tin box was an old mooncake box, and the patterns printed on it were a little mottled, revealing the rusty inner core.
The old lady opened the tin box, and inside there was a stack of photos, some old, new, and black and white; two dim gold rings with large patterns on them, one for a woman and one for a man, which should have been worth a lot in the past. Money; and a bunch of keys, not with key rings, but tied with red thread, four in total.
The old lady looked at the photos one by one and put them back into the tin box. She put the two gold rings into her pocket and held the key tightly.
She put the box away, looked at Ouyang, put the hand holding the key in her pocket, stood up and walked to the door.
There are only two updates today... _(:3 ∠)_
