"Oh I see."
The woman's name was Huang Duo. She put on her sleeves with yellow spots, then took off her apron and checked again.
"So it's up to the two of us to choose one to survive, right?"
"Do you believe what I said?"
Chen Xuan looked at Liu Yang who was writing. He was like the husband in the island country movie, completely unable to wake up.
Chen Xuan actually didn't think he could convince the other party so quickly. He had even prepared videos and words before persuading.
"I believe what you say."
Huang Duo sat at the other end of the sofa, still with a smile on her face, as if this smile was born on her face. She looked at Chen Xuan calmly, and then looked at the room with a little worry.
"You should take Haohao away, he is still young."
"He has a long life ahead of him."
Chen Xuan paused, and his heart, which he thought was under good control, still fluctuated. He wanted to touch the cigarette in his pocket, but there was none.
He put his hand back on his leg and asked lightly:
"Why?"
"what why?"
"Why don't you ask if you two can live together, or am I lying to you? That's your son, what will happen to him if you die?"
"Why don't you ask me?"
He can also make the same choices as other major crime teams.
Huang Duo was stunned for a moment. She grabbed her apron nervously. A lot of things flashed through her eyes, and then she let go:
"He is not my son."
"And the answer doesn't matter. There are too many things in my life that don't have answers."
"Officer Chen, you don't have to worry about whether I want to escape or do other things. I believe this is my destiny, and I have always believed in the existence of ghosts."
"Because...I am such an unlucky person."
A bitter smile appeared on Huang Duo's dry face. She clasped her fingers, faced Officer Chen, and told her life.
"I was born in a rural area. My mother was killed when I was born. My father beat me every day, saying I was unlucky and a bad guy. He drank every day, and not long after, he also died."
"I had no money, and all the house and land at home were taken over by the villagers, so I had no choice but to wander. I almost starved to death in those three days, but fortunately a wandering old woman saved me, and I stayed with her in the village. Begging in the city and barely surviving.”
"But not long after, the old lady died too."
"I don't know whether she died of cold or old age. I just know that the two of us only had one quilt and it was really cold that night."
"I cried for a long time and found a job in a barber shop. It paid 500 yuan a month. I used the money to build a monument for my grandmother. Unfortunately, I don't know her name."
"I was just twelve years old at that time, an age when I knew everything. I realized what it meant to be alone."
"I also learned that everyone's life is not like this. They all have parents, and their parents will not beat them. They don't have to eat or wear warm clothes every day, and they don't have to fight for the food of stray dogs. There is no need for two people. Covered with the same quilt.”
"I also want to have such a life."
Huang Duo raised his head and smiled bitterly.
"I started saving money, although it wasn't a lot. I wanted to open my own barber shop and do a normal business. Then I met a man who was very nice to me and said he would marry me in the future. I thought I’m going to live a normal life.”
"But one day, he told me that he was seriously ill and asked me to lend him money."
"I was so scared. My parents all died of illness. I didn't want to lose him again, so I gave him all my money."
"It turns out he is a liar, just here to defraud me of my money. He is not sick at all."
"I went to ask him for money, but he said I was just a chicken maker, why would I want to get married?"
"I just know what kind of person I am in his eyes."
"I'm not a chicken."
"I didn't get the money back in the end. He ordered me to get beaten up and I could no longer get a haircut. Later, I picked up Haohao in a bridge. I felt that no one could live the life I had before, so I saved up a lot of money. With the last little money I had, I started selling fried noodles.”
"The days are becoming more stable day by day. Haohao is the best gift God has given me. But the more this happens, the more unsettled my heart becomes. Why can I have such a life? For a person who is plagued by misfortune, maybe It wasn’t my mother who died in the first place.”
"But me."
"I live in fear every day. I always feel that God will take back this kind of life sooner or later. Now that I hear what you said, I feel relieved."
Huang Duo breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, but two lines of tears flowed down from her eyes. She licked her lips and then asked:
"It's normal to have ghosts in this world. I'm so unlucky because I'm haunted by ghosts. Otherwise, I thought it was my problem before."
"I just hope that if I die, Haohao can live a normal life."
"He should study and make friends. Social welfare is not what it used to be. Even if he is in an orphanage, it is better than selling fried noodles with me."
"Officer Chen, how many days do I have?"
Chen Xuan shook his mouth.
"Six days."
Three days after Liu Yang died, Huang Duo could survive another three days.
"Six more days!"
"Okay, okay, okay...that's enough. That's enough."
The topic ended. Chen Xuan understood Huang Duo's intention and could not delay it any longer. Liu Yang was about to finish writing and the curse was about to be executed.
"Let's go quickly, or it will be too late."
Chen Xuan took Hao Hao away. Before leaving, Hao Hao was a little confused and looked at his mother in fear.
"Mom, where am I going?"
Huang Duo still had the same smile, narrowed his eyes, waved his hands and said:
"Be good, go out with uncle for a while, and you can come back later. Mom has something to deal with."
"Then... let me go to the stall first, okay mom, I can run the stall by myself."
"It doesn't matter. You don't have to go out today, and you don't have to go out in the next few days. When Haohao comes back, will mom take you to the amusement park to play?"
"Really! Okay!"
"Then Haohao must follow uncle obediently and must not lose his temper."
"good!"
"You must also learn to take good care of yourself and wear good clothes."
"Okay mom."
Hao Hao didn't know what was going on. He took Chen Xuan's hand and walked out of the small house. He looked back at his mother every three steps. It was a little strange. Usually when he went to school, his mother would walk out of the house and send him far away.
But not this time.
Mom stood firmly in the room without taking a step.
But that’s okay.
Hao Hao clenched his fists, cheered himself up, and said in his heart.
it does not matter,
He is already an adult.
I can go out alone.
