Chapter 372 Ghost Hitting the Wall
Night fell.
The lights in the small town are dotted with lights, and it looks particularly peaceful. The lights of the rare cars shuttle through the street, and occasionally can illuminate the windows of the room. Zhen Fan stood in front of the window at night like this, looking at the street opposite, and didn't move or say anything for a long time.
"Tuk tuk!" Someone knocked on the door.
"Come in, the door is open!" Zhen Fan stood still and said a word.
The people who came in were Kirk and his father Pierre. After they came in, they saw Zhen Fan standing by the window, and seemed to have something to say.
"Do you want to be here or go to the living room, it's more spacious!" Zhen Fan turned his head, looked at them and said with a smile, "Pierre, what do you think?"
"Go to the living room, listen to you!" Pierre smiled, then turned around and went out by himself. Kirk blinked at Zhen Fan, and then followed out. Zhen Fan smiled, didn't say anything, and followed at the end!
The three sat around the coffee table, and Pierre made three cups of coffee and brought them over.
"It's like this. I feel that there will be something unusual at Philip's house today. We really want to go and have a look. Do you want to come with us?" Pierre said first, "I saw Helena go to Philip today. At home, I think they are going to have a showdown, you already know that Rachel has never liked Helena very much!"
"Let's not bother them!" Zhen Fan shook his head, "They are all adults, they will have their own judgments, and they will make the right decisions."
"But...if the negotiation breaks down, there will be irreparable losses. Their home will change, in short...it won't be the same, and all the tacit understanding and compromise will be broken!" Kirk was a little anxious. "I don't want this, they are my best friends and neighbors."
"I don't want to either, but someone has to break it, right? It's not fair to Helena!" Zhen Fan said, looking at Kirk, "Why don't you go yourself and tell me this?"
Kirk forced a smile: "I always feel that Rachel trusts you, and...Philip also trusts you, and so does Helena. Well, even if you don't try to persuade, you have to go and see!"
"Rachel trusts me?" Zhen Fan shook his head and smiled.
"Yes. Yes, she trusts you, I swear, although she talks about you a lot...but I can hear it. I have been with her for more than ten years. I can tell if she is right by blinking her eyes You're lying!" Kirk spread his hands, "If we go rashly like this,
It's sure to annoy her. "
"So you came to see me?" Zhen Fan looked at Pierre again.
Pierre shrugged his shoulders and smiled at Zhen Fan: "This is Kirk's idea. I have always believed that they are fully capable of solving their own affairs and arranging their own lives. We have no right to ask them anything. But this guy...he's always stubborn. He's worried about Rachel!"
"Dad—" Kirk was a little speechless, being "betrayed" by his father so quickly. So he could only look at Zhen Fan helplessly. "Well, it's my idea, do you want to go with me? I want to go and see, even if it's just to watch!"
"No, not tonight!" Zhen Fan said, "After tonight, you can talk to them casually, anyone is fine, but not tonight, it's for your own good!"
"Why? Why not tonight?" Kirk couldn't help it. "Well, well, it might not work for you tonight, but it will work for me. I'll go alone!" Kirk said Just stand up.
"Hey, kid, don't forget your dad!" Pierre also stood up, ready to follow.
"Stop, buddy, I'm alone, I don't need anyone's help, stay here!" Kirk pointed at Pierre and said, "Don't try to stop me!" He walked out without looking back.
Seeing Kirk walk out without looking back, Pierre shrugged helplessly, opened his hands to Zhen Fan and said, "Look, this is how daddy treats him, he calls me buddy, I'm His father!",
"I think when he said that, he must have forgotten that you are his father!" Zhen Fan said with a smile, "Okay, the party is over here, I'm going back to my room, Pierre, I wish you a happy birthday!" Sweet dreams. Good night, man!"
"Okay, buddy, good night!" Pierre watched Zhen Fan walk into the room, and smiled helplessly at himself, "Dude, that's such a good name, it's no wonder I can sleep well!" Stayed for a glass of wine and took it into the room.
Kirk went out, he wanted to go there quickly, and wanted to see what would happen to the Philip family. The street lights at night shone on the street, which was a bit dim, and there were no more pedestrians on the street at this time. Not even the sound of cars.
Kirk crossed a street, under a street light, he could clearly see the street sign next to him, and after another block, he could reach Rachel's house. So he quickened his pace.
The street seemed a bit dark, and there seemed to be a street lamp in front of him. He hurriedly walked a few steps, thinking in his heart that after passing this street lamp, he would arrive at Rachel's house. Cross the street with street lights and walk towards the front, but the front is still dim, and the lights from the houses on the side of the road can hardly be seen.
Just a few more steps and you will be there! Kirk said the same thing in his mind again, and then quickened his pace. Maybe it would only take a few steps to reach Rachel's house.
Streetlights, there are streetlights ahead, yes, goddamn streetlights.
When Kirk reached the streetlight, he stopped, and then looked at the pole on the streetlight. Then he turned his head and saw a street sign next to the street lamp. Obviously, he was familiar with this street sign. He suddenly remembered that the street sign next to the street lamp in front seemed to be very similar to this one. Not really thinking about it, but this is it.
"Damn it!" Kirk cursed, and then looked around. Except for a little bit of light around the street lamp, the rest of the place was very dim, and slowly disappeared at the street corner, as if being surrounded by a dark giant. It was as if the beast swallowed it in one gulp, with no way out in sight.
"Where the fuck am I?" Kirk cursed, not knowing which direction to go. It was very dark all around, there was only a little light here, and when I looked up at the sky, there were no stars, and there was nothing to use as a reference.
"God, if I walk this way, I will never be able to reach Rachel's house!" Kirk couldn't help but patted his forehead. Obviously, he felt that he was lost, and he was lost in this small town that he had known for more than 20 years. Yes, it's really incredible, because he can almost walk through the town with his eyes closed.
Is this still the town you live in? There was a trace of fear in Kirk's confusion. Obviously, he was almost circling around this street light, and no matter how he walked, he couldn't get out. This thing is really weird. Could this be bloody black magic? Kirk didn't want to sit still. After thinking about it, he decided to give it a try, and then walked forward in an unknown direction.
The next morning Pierre got up and called "Kirk," but no one answered him. So he went to Kirk's room to look again, but he still didn't see Kirk's shadow. Moreover, the bed was clean and tidy, indicating that either no one was sleeping, or he had woken up early, and he didn't know where he went.
"This guy!" Pierre smiled, thinking that he had gone to Rachel's house again early in the morning, "It wasn't enough to go last night, I have to go this morning." He didn't bother to look for him after talking.
Zhen Fan went out and looked outside, only to see a figure walking towards here as if lost in spirit. Take a closer look, who is it not Kirk? He opened the door immediately and smiled at Kirk who came up: "Morning, did you go to exercise so early in the morning? Why are your clothes so dirty? Are you playing football or rugby?"
Kirk was weak and didn't speak. He just sat down on the sofa and fell asleep. Pierre, who was washing in the bathroom, heard the movement and came out to take a look. He was dumbfounded and said to Kirk, "What are you doing? You rolled in the mud early in the morning?"
"I stayed on the street all night, didn't sleep all night, I was so sleepy, I want to sleep, don't disturb me!" Kirk said, closing his eyes, hugging the pillow on the sofa, motionless, within a few minutes There was a slight snoring sound.
"This guy is sleepy!" Pierre shook his head. "I don't understand. Didn't he go out last night? Or this morning?"
"He didn't come back last night!" Zhen Fan shook his head, watching all this with a smile.
"It's so strange!" Pierre shook his head and said to Zhen Fan, "I'll make breakfast!"
Zhen Fan stopped him and said with a smile: "Let me come and make you some fresh ones, Chinese noodles, mixed sauce noodles, you will like it!" Then he walked towards the kitchen.
Pierre didn't stop him and let him toss around in the kitchen. In fact, it is not an authentic mixed sauce noodle, because the seasoning is not uniform, it is still made into a variant of mixed sauce noodles with tomato sauce, in fact, the flavor is no different from pasta!
Kirk was so exhausted, having spent the whole night round the street lamp last night, that he couldn't be woken for breakfast, so Pierre took his share. Then he went out to work, leaving Kirk at home, anyway, there was Zhen Fan at home who could take care of him.
Knowing that after twelve noon, Zhen Fan ordered pizza, Kirk woke up, and then devoured the pizza for brunch, and then said with a dejected look: "I couldn't show up at Rachel's house last night, but I met A very strange thing, and I'm lost!"
"It's normal!" Zhen Fan suppressed a laugh.
"Is this normal?" Kirk looked at Zhen Fan in surprise, "I have lived in this town for 21 years, and I can guess where I have gone with my eyes closed, but I got lost last night , you still say it's normal?"
"Yes! I'm sure, it's normal!" Zhen Fan nodded with a smile, "Okay, Kirk, let me treat you, and then I'll go to Rachel's house, maybe everything has been resolved last night, Today may be a new beginning!"
"I'll go with you!" Kirk said quickly, stuffed the last piece of pizza into his mouth, and went to wash his face! (To be continued..)
