Green smoke rose, and the two little girls knelt on the ground, crying and adding paper money to the fire, but Liu Xiaoyue seemed to see her father in the firelight.
"Dad, dad... I am Xiaoyue, can you hear me?"
"Uncle... I am Xiaoyue's best friend. My name is Chen Nannan."
Listening to the tender voices of the two children, Chen Liangshan quietly walked not far away and wiped his tears. For a 10-year-old child, this kind of sadness that penetrated the heart was too heavy.
For Chen Liangshan now, the only thing he can do to compensate Liu Xiaoyue is to stay with her until the child comes out of grief.
At this moment, the sadness that Liu Xiaoyue had endured for several months was finally released. Her tears couldn't stop falling, and she spoke as if she were really chatting with her father, showing her true feelings.
——"Dad, the title of today's composition is "My Dad", but I can't write a word because I keep crying and thinking about you."
——"I know now that my classmates liked to play with me in the past because you were the richest father, but now... they don't play with me anymore."
——"But Nannan is very kind to me now. She will beat anyone who bullies me, so no one dares to bully me anymore..."
——"Nanny's father is doing well. He doesn't want me to live in an orphanage or be bullied by others, so he takes me to their home."
——"Dad, I am no longer as willful as before, and I will no longer have a bad temper, so can you come back... If you don't come back, Uncle Jianren will take away all your money!"
"
——"Dad, please come back quickly..."
After just a few words, Liu Xiaoyue burst into tears and didn't even notice that the hair on her forehead was singed.
Chen Liangshan came to him quietly and whispered: "Xiao Yue, your father heard it."
Liu Xiaoyue raised her head, "Really...really? Uncle! Did my father hear what I said?"
Chen Liangshan nodded, pointed to the few wisps of green smoke that shot straight into the sky, and said, "It will definitely happen, because the smoke will float all the way to the sky, and everything you say will reach your father's ears."
Liu Xiaoyue shook her head and tried hard not to cry: "Actually, after death, you can't hear anything, right?"
Chen Liangshan was at a loss for words. He also saw that although Liu Xiaoyue in front of him was only a 10-year-old child, her experiences in the past few months had already made her understand a lot of truth.
But at this moment, Chen Liangshan suddenly remembered a very classic story, and he hurriedly explained.
——"No, people really have souls and will go to another world."
——"In the 1990s, a doctor conducted an experiment on many people who were about to die."
——"He found that at the moment of death, the weight of the whole body will be reduced by 21 grams. It is the same for every deceased person. This is by no means a coincidence."
——"So people really have souls and will really go to another world after death."
Liu Xiaoyue blinked her eyes that were red from crying and asked: "Then... will the world that people go to after death be better than this world now?"
Chen Liangshan took a long breath and said with firm eyes: "Yes, as long as we can be good people, strong people, people who don't give up on our friends, and don't do things that hurt others, then the world we go to in the future will definitely be better than it is now.
good!"
After the worship service, Chen Liangshan wanted to stay and clean up the scene, so he asked his two children to return to the car and wait for him.
After the children left, he looked at the burned paper ashes on the ground and the small, cheap urn, and said solemnly: "Brother, I know I did something wrong. I shouldn't... treat you like that.
, I also know that at this time, no matter how much I say an apology, it is useless, but I, Chen Liangshan, swear to God in front of you now, even if it costs my life, I will never let Liu Jianren take away what you left.
Anything for Xiaoyue!”
A gust of dark wind blew, and the pile of ashes that had been extinguished suddenly started burning again under the influence of this dark wind. The thick smoke produced by the burning suddenly turned into a wisp of green smoke and shot straight into the sky, as if Liu Jianmin was doing something in that world.
out response.
…
Today happens to be the last day to take Xiaoyue away as agreed with Granny Zizi. Granny Zizi is also a very serious person. Just before she went to burn paper, she repeatedly reminded Chen Liangshan that he must come to the orphanage tonight.
, fill out a new foster care renewal application form.
So after burning the paper, Chen Liangshan drove the two children all the way to the orphanage in the northern suburbs.
Along the way, the two children were not in high spirits due to the impact just now, so they fell asleep not long after getting in the car. After driving for more than an hour, Chen Liangshan finally saw the Beijiao Orphanage on the side of the national highway.
of road signs.
After seeing the road sign, you only need to drive off the national highway and you will reach the orphanage in more than 300 meters. It is an extremely remote open space with no other buildings. Therefore, the road is neither asphalt nor street lamps, and it is pitch black.
There are all kinds of strange-shaped trees on both sides of the road, exuding a cold and weird atmosphere in the dark night.
Chen Liangshan was driving the car, and suddenly, a man wearing a black jacket came out of the woods nearby. The man had his hands in his pockets and a mask, and he walked towards the front of the car regardless, as if he couldn't see the road.
Seeing that he was about to hit the other person, Chen Liangshan hurriedly stepped on the brakes, and the car stopped less than 1 meter away from the other person. However, the man didn't know if he had a mental problem, so Chen Liangshan pressed the horn to remind him.
But he still stood there motionless.
On such a dark night in the wilderness, Chen Liangshan couldn't figure out where the madman came from. Therefore, based on the principle that doing more is worse than doing less, he reversed the car and planned to get out of the way of the other party. Drive sideways.
However, when the man in front of him saw the vehicle retreating, he followed it in a few steps and blocked the front of the vehicle with his body.
Oops! It’s a scam!
This idea immediately popped into Chen Liangshan's mind. Although he couldn't understand why the other party would choose such a magnetic collision place and find a broken car like himself, no matter what, he couldn't get entangled with such a person now, so he suddenly
I reversed the car and drove a few meters, turned the steering wheel, and drove past the man.
However, before driving a few meters, I suddenly heard two explosions from the car tires, and then the car shook twice, as if something hard was stuck on the tires.
After that, it wouldn't open anymore, and there was only a "hissing" sound of air leakage outside the window.
Chen Liangshan felt that the vehicle suddenly became very heavy. Even if he pressed the accelerator hard, it would be difficult to drive a few meters. So he immediately opened the door and walked out. Sure enough, he found that several tires were punctured under the cab.
A three-edged nail the size of a fist.
These three-edged nails were obviously much larger than those used to puncture car tires, and Chen Liangshan found that these nails were scattered all over the road behind the car. It seemed that they were deliberately used to force the vehicle to stop.
Oops! You must have been robbed on the road!
This thought immediately came to Chen Liangshan's mind, and just when he took out his mobile phone and was about to call the police, the man who blocked the car just now took out an iron rod from his body and hit him without saying a word.
Chen Liangshan dodged, and the iron rod hit his head on the car window. The huge sound of shattering glass immediately woke up the two children in the back seat.
Taking advantage of the gap between the opponent's iron rods, Chen Liangshan suddenly twisted the opponent's arm and kicked the man in the lower abdomen. The opponent screamed in pain and fell to the ground.
However, just after dealing with the man in front of him, Chen Liangshan noticed that the car lights were on less than 100 meters away on the road where he came from. Judging from the height of the car lights, it should be at least a van that could carry multiple people.
It seemed that he had indeed encountered a robbery. He must have deliberately stood in front of his car, causing him to hit those three-edged nails when he drove to the other side of the road.
And judging from the current situation, the van that is driving will arrive in less than half a minute, and there must be the other party's accomplices in the car by then.
His car had a punctured tire and could not be driven, and he would not be able to run far if he took his two children with him. Therefore, in desperation, Chen Liangshan immediately grabbed the two children out of the car and stuffed them in without saying a word.
Trunk.
"Don't be afraid, you two! I'm right here and I'm not going anywhere!"
With a simple warning, Chen Liangshan threw the car keys into the trunk. At this time, the van stopped a few meters away from him, and 6 or 7 men armed with sticks and machetes jumped out.
