Chapter 900 Affectionate
There are three rooms in the old house, one of which is half-opened, which is obviously the room of Ben and Shasta, and there are two other rooms, which are opposite to that room, Miles suddenly smiled and pointed to one of them A room near the back lawn said: "This one, I think this one is pretty good.—.{}]."
Ben was taken aback, as if he was unwilling. When he was thinking about it, he saw Shasta coming out of the kitchen. She wiped her hands with her apron, and then said with a smile, "What did you say? Did you mean that?" See, someone tried to catch a kite floating on the roof of our house with a fishing rod? I knew...that was a bunch of naughty ghosts!"
The old man smiled, but did not answer Shasta, and asked Shasta to open the door of that room. Said it was that room, Shasta was obviously taken aback for a moment, then stood up reluctantly, opened the door, and smiled at Zhen Fan and Miles: "Please come in, this used to be my son's house." s room."
It turned out that the couple also had a son. Zhen Fan nodded to express his thanks to Shasta, and when Shasta pushed the door open, he walked to the door, and he walked in without any hesitation. Same as cleaning.
"Thank you very much, Shasta. It is really not easy for us to have such a clean place to sleep. We promise that we will stay there and not damage anything inside." Zhen Fan faced Shasta smiled and said, "I like this room very much, and I also like the bed here."
"As long as you like it, I often clean this room. Well, this is your territory now, enjoy it. I'll go first!" Shasta smiled, then touched the things here and said When I went out, I felt a bit reluctant to leave.
Zhen Fan's feeling was right. Shasta was a bit reluctant to leave here, she backed out, then walked into the living room, and sat beside Ben in silence. Sighed lightly. Slowly leaning down, resting his face on Ben's thigh, like a child.
It's been a long time. Shasta suddenly said, "Why did you agree to them? That room...you know, it's our son's room. These two people are a bit strange. Do you rest assured that they live there?" What she said was a bit strange. But Ben didn't think so at all. Because he knew what Shasta meant.
"I don't know, maybe I subconsciously hope that these two people can really help us. Shasta, it's been so long, have we lost only friends and neighbors? We have lost too much things, including our whole lives. Now that we are all about to die, do we still have to take this secret to the grave? If we die...and those secrets are discovered again, I think...just I'm afraid that even God won't forgive us, let alone go to heaven after death." Ben seemed to be talking to himself. His tone was full of exhaustion.
Shasta was silent,
She didn't speak. But Ben felt a little wet on his knees, and Shasta was crying, she was crying silently, yes, the two of them sacrificed so much to keep this secret, that when their lives were about to When it came to the end, it was no longer able to withstand the heavy pressure like a thousand ounces.
"Then... can these two people really help us?" Shasta was silent for a while, calmed down his emotions, and then said, "We have been together for so long, once the secret of more than ten years is revealed Well, I can't stand it, let alone the result I'm about to face."
Ben smiled, then touched Shasta's hair, touching Shasta's half-grey hair as intimately and tenderly as a young couple and said: "Whether we can help or not, we'll go along with you." It's natural, I feel that the two of them are good people, even if they can't do it, it doesn't matter." Shasta didn't say anything more.
Wait until the sky gradually darkens. The street lights outside were on, and the dim light enveloped the town. There were basically no people on the street. People seemed to be swallowed by the darkness directly from the street. Occasionally, wild cats sprang out from the street, then screamed shrillly, and disappeared into the darkness.
The house looked lonely in the dark, and the ones that were closer to Ben's house were at least two hundred meters away. So the house became more and more gloomy, as if a cloud of cold breath enveloped the whole house. Ben and Shasta were sitting in the room with the light on. But their eyes were always looking out of the window.
Outside this window is the back lawn of the house, and a cross is erected on the lawn, which looks like the tombstone of the purpose. The white cross looks a little eye-catching under the dim light in the dark night. The couple just looked there like this, and then they felt the air getting colder and colder.
"I feel that it's colder than usual today!" Shasta said, leaning tightly on Ben. "I don't know if this will affect the rest of the guests. They are all good people."
"Probably not, the lights in their room are all off. It's time for us to see our children!" Ben's voice was very old, but soon, there was some expectation in this old voice.
"Mom—" The vague voice seemed to come from outside the window, and then fell into the ears of the couple. Shasta sat up suddenly, she sat up straight, and then fixed her eyes tightly. Staring out of the window, the sound was getting closer and clearer, as if it was a sigh in the wind.
"Mom—" When I heard the voice again, I was already in the room. There were tears in Shasta's eyes, and in the light of the tears, she saw the shadow of a person slowly condensing like mist. The shadow of a young boy of about twenty.
"Robin, Robin..." Shasta cried out a little excitedly, and then wanted to reach out to touch the shadow, but her hand passed through the shadow, but she didn't touch anything. But Shasta still felt as if he was touching a child's face, and he couldn't restrain his excitement.
"It's me, it's me, Mom, I'm here to see you and Dad!" The shadow seemed to be laughing, and the voice was still so ethereal, but Shasta could hear it clearly.
"Robin...I'm sorry!" For some reason, Shasta uttered these words.
"Why do you say that?" Robin looked at Shasta puzzled, "Mom... did you do something? Is it... you don't want me anymore?" Obviously this shadow is very sensitive in his heart, he Hearing something wrong with Shasta's tone, he couldn't help saying, "Tell me, Mom."
Shasta was at a loss for words, but just looked at Robin and was speechless. At this time, Ben on the side spoke. He looked at Robin and said, "Let me talk about this matter. To be honest, Robin, when we buried you in the back of the house, we really wanted to keep one for ourselves." Think about it. But now... more than ten years have passed, we are also getting old, and you can see that your mother and I are... powerless to some things. Maybe in a few years, I will die in my own On the bed, at that time... who will take care of you?"
"Father—I'm sorry, I let you not enjoy it for more than ten years. You are very lonely, I know, but... every time I always want not to be close to you, but I can't help being lonely. I I want to be with you, you are my family, I always wander alone at night, and sometimes I have to avoid the invasion of those wild cats... Only here... I can feel a little warmth." Robin said , made a sound like weeping, but unfortunately, he didn't have tears, his tears were just a mist like water vapor.
"Yes, yes, we understand, we are the same...but...Robin, it's time for us to make up our minds to separate. Otherwise, when we die, this house will be auctioned off by the government, and then... No matter who becomes the new owner of this room, you will cease to exist. So..." Ben sighed and shook his head.
Robin was silent, he really didn't want to leave here. But what my father said was also right. No matter who becomes the owner of this place in the future, the first thing to be cleared is himself, so he was a little hesitant for a while, not knowing what to do, and looked at Ben and Shasi helplessly. tower.
This kind of vision almost broke Shasta's heart. But she still tentatively said: "There are new guests in your room. This is the first time in more than ten years that we have received guests to stay here overnight. Robin, I'm sorry...they live in your room, and ...they said they could help us!"
"Can they help us?" Robin suddenly smiled, so bitterly, "Is it like the exorcist invited by the neighbors ten years ago? The priest was there chanting scriptures mysteriously." Wen, but it didn't feel anything to me. Instead, I accidentally appeared and scared the crap out of him. That damn bastard, he said he could let me go to heaven, and then... I have nothing get."
As he spoke, Robin seemed a little anxious, and his speech speed was also fast. Finally seeing the apologetic eyes of his parents, he calmed down slowly, sighed and said: "Mom, what you think makes sense, now... can I go and see those two people? If they don't If you are scared away by me!"
"Zhen, Fan Zhen and Miles Simon." Ben replied calmly.
"Okay, I'll go meet these two people first!" Robin's tone was joking. Then slowly disappeared in the room.
Seeing Robin disappear into the room, Ben suddenly looked at Shasta and said, "Can we... let Robin pass like this? I can tell that those two are good people, and I don't want Robin to scare them into trouble." Come. Or, let's go and have a look together, I'm worried about them!"
"Okay, let's go there, I hope... Forget it, pretend I didn't say it!" Shasta nodded, hesitating to speak, but still took a coat and put it on himself, and followed Ben out door. At the door of Robin's original room, she hesitated for a moment, then knocked lightly. (To be continued..)
