"Okay, if you don't scream, don't scream. Then call me a big girl." Mu Tian laughed playfully and said smoothly. In fact, at this moment, he was very grateful to Yingzi for his tacit understanding on this matter.
"Go, go, let's face it, right?" Yingzi said while pouring the wine.
"Aunt Wan, it's so late, have we disturbed you?" When Yingzi was placing the wine jar, he noticed Aunt Wan coming up, holding a tray with both hands.
Mu Tian and Hu Ti also stood up quickly, and Hu Ti quickly stepped forward and took the tray from Aunt Wan's hand.
"No, no, I couldn't sleep, so I made you some side dishes to go with the wine. I buy them outside every day, and it's unhygienic to eat too much." Aunt Wan said.
When Mu Tian looked at the tray, he saw a few seasonal vegetables and side dishes that were indeed tempting, and more importantly, there was a fish.
Yingzi said in surprise: "There are also fish? It's so rich, thank you Aunt Wan."
"Thank you for what? This turned out to be the stinky mandarin fish prepared for Otani Hidemi's mother. It won't taste good if you don't cook it. Alas, now..." Aunt Wan said, her eyes red, and she even swallowed it.
In fact, she didn't know that the Cheng Guiyu that Ozawa Chiho wanted to learn was for Lin Xiao.
Mu Tian had seen Chiho Ozawa before. Seeing Aunt Wan like this and looking at the stinky mandarin fish that had been stacked on the wall, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "There is no spare Yellow Crane Tower here."
However, the medical examiner's examination report showed that she died due to convulsions and shock, which had nothing to do with Mu Tian. If there was a relationship, it was because of her deep love for Lin Xiao, and it was also the collateral damage that Pique often said.
"Aunt Wan, thank you for your hard work." Mu Tian thanked her deeply.
"It's not hard. Anyway, I have to wait for Huihui to come in." Aunt Wan said sadly.
Yingzi was about to eat the stinky mandarin fish. When he heard this, he put down his chopsticks and waved his hands and said: "You don't have to wait for Aunt Wan. Just now Ahui called and said that she won't be back tonight. You can go to bed first, now."
It is late."
"Did you get a call? When was it? Why didn't I hear it?" Aunt Wan asked in surprise.
"Well, just when you went to your neighbor Aunt Zhang's house to play mahjong." Yingzi said with certainty.
Mu Tian knew what Yingzi meant. Ouyang Hui obviously hadn't called her, so he advised Aunt Wan: "You see it's already so late now. You should come back early. You should go and rest first. We'll be there when we arrive."
Aunt Wan looked at Mu Tian seriously, lowered her head for a moment, turned around and left.
The three of them looked at Aunt Wan's leaving figure and looked at each other.
At this time, the big bell on the Bund rang "dang-dang" twice.
"Is this a death knell?" Hideki Otani held the ashes of Chiho Ozawa and sat at the table.
On the table are Chiho Ozawa's suitcases, one large and one small.
After returning from the funeral parlor, he kept sitting like this. Every time the bell on the Bund rang, he was thinking about the same question - is this the death knell?
Ouyang Hui, who was sitting on the bed, stood up amidst the lingering sound of the bell, walked to the table, half-knelt in front of Otani Hidemi, and put her hand on the urn on his knee, "You should sleep for a while.
"
Hidemi Otani remained motionless.
"You want to call me cliché again, but life ends in countless clichés. People cannot be resurrected after death, and the living must continue to live. Only when the living live well can the dead rest in peace. You can't do this,
Otherwise you will collapse." Ouyang Hui looked up at Otani Hidemi's eyes, her own eyes were already filled with tears.
Hidemi Otani looked blankly at a woodcut painting on the opposite wall. The painting showed an angry red bull running in the black foreground. The background was another dark red.
After Ouyang Hui finished speaking, she tried to move the urn on Otani Hidemi's lap.
The veins in Otani Hidemi's hands were exposed and she was holding them tightly.
Ouyang Hui tried again, but still didn't move. She let out a long sigh and slowly stood up. The tears in her eyes fell on the back of Otani Hidemi's hand holding the urn.
Otani Hidemi's hands shook subconsciously, but his eyes were still looking blankly at the painting on the wall opposite.
No one can guess what he is thinking at this moment.
Ouyang Hui paced in front of Otani Hidemi.
After a while, she stopped, turned around and stared at Otani Hidemi and said: "I will go to Osaka with you."
Hidemi Otani still stared at the painting motionless.
Ouyang Hui stared at Otani Hidemi for a moment, then suddenly stepped in front of him, grabbed Otani Hidemi's arms with both hands, and shook them vigorously, "Did you hear that? I'm going to Osaka with you!"
Otani Hidemi still looked at the painting blankly, holding the urn tightly with both hands, no matter how Ouyang Hui shook it.
"Did you hear that? Just say something to me, talk!" Ouyang Hui continued to shake with increasing intensity.
Hidemi Otani's body was shaking more and more, but he was still like a zombie, with an expressionless face and empty eyes.
At this time, Ouyang Hui seemed to have entered a state of madness, shaking Ogu Xiushi with disheveled hair, and hitting his chest with her head.
Hidemi Otani turned his head to avoid Ouyang Hui's flying hair and said in a deep voice: "Go back," the voice hit Ouyang Hui's heart like freezing rain for three to nine days.
She took a step back in astonishment and stared at Otani Hidemi's expressionless face. It looked like a vampire looking at its prey and thinking about whether to bite or not.
"Let's go? Where are we going?!" Ouyang Hui has not recovered from the madness just now, and her words still sound vicious.
"Go home." Otani Hidemi's voice sounded a little more popular, with a hint of yearning.
"No, I want to go to Osaka with you and go home with you!" Ouyang Hui seemed to have fallen into madness again.
"No, you can't. I have no home." Hidemi Otani's words were like a nightmare, dark and profound.
"No, you can't think like that. I'll go back with you, back to Osaka." Ouyang Hui shouted persistently.
"Wherever mom is, there is home. When mom is gone, home is gone. You still have everything, so go home." Hidemi Otani's words seemed to come from a very far away place. His eyes were still full of emotion.
It was empty, but a layer of tears welled up in his eyes.
Ouyang Hui saw the tears in Otani Hideshi's eyes, and her heart moved. She stepped forward and squatted in front of Otani, "We are a family together. Look at me, we can have a family. It's okay, you believe me."
Ouyang Hui spoke to him eagerly.
"I can't!" Otani Hidemi suddenly shouted angrily, stood up suddenly, put the urn in his arms on the table, and stared out the window.
Under the urn, a letter he had been holding in his hand fell to the ground.
Ouyang Hui looked at Otani Hidemi in shock again, and then stared at the letter on the ground.
Otani Hidemi also stared at the letter. After a while, he bent down to grab it.
Ouyang Hui didn't know where she got the strength. She took the letter in her hand with a sliding step.
Due to inertia, the person fell to the ground.
Otani Hideki was about to step forward again, but the sound of the big clock on the Bund making him froze like a log.
