Chapter 984 I'm Sleepy

"gentlemen……"

In the courtyard, under the incandescent lamp,

A few old people who were half squatting or standing hunched over the table, with red eyes, heard the knock on the door,

They also moved their feet one after another, turned around, and looked towards the closed courtyard door.

Turning his head a little further, he looked at the little girl who had almost run to the gate of the courtyard,

Several old people turned their eyes one after another, looked at the old man surnamed Chen, then at Lian Ge,

"Sir, is it... Tongtong's..."

His eyes were still red, and there were tears in his eyes, and his whole body was trembling slightly,

After a while of silence, the old man surnamed Chen also turned his head and looked at Lian Ge,

He opened his mouth, asked aloud, and then looked at the closed courtyard door.

Turning his gaze a little further, Lian Ge glanced at these old people, and then turned his gaze to the side of the half-hidden courtyard gate.

Without speaking, Lian Ge just nodded.

The old men fell silent again,

Turned around one after another, looked at the courtyard door that was still closed, and at the little girl who had already run to the courtyard door,

The eye sockets are still red, and there are still some undried tears in the eyes, each of them is a little lost in thought.

Someone opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't make any sound. He just remained silent, looking at the little girl by the courtyard gate.

Turn your gaze a little more,

Lian Ge glanced at the few old people who had fallen silent, then turned his gaze to the gate of the courtyard.

Did not say anything.

In the yard, it became even more quiet.

It seemed that only the sound of the breeze blowing through the yard was left.

……

"sough……"

"... Just a few streets ahead, is there a family on the corner there who didn't ask?"

"...I knocked on the door, and there is no one living in that house..."

"...Before that, there was a very narrow passage in a street, did you forget to go in there..."

"... I went in and looked at it, and there was no one there..."

Gusts of wind with some coolness at night blow across the deserted streets and roads from time to time.

The buildings and shops along the street have been dilapidated. There are no passers-by on the street, and there are few street lights. The street looks dark.

The former old couple walked forward.

The old man supported the old lady, holding the little bottle of water in his hand,

The old lady was still holding the photo tightly in her hand, and turned her head from time to time to ask the old man.

The old man just said a word, responding to his wife's words.

"...Then, the street I passed before..."

The old lady slowed down a bit, turned her head, and said to the old man again, as if she wanted to ask something,

He just stopped talking gradually, and didn't ask any more questions.

The old man who was helping his wife to go forward was also silent and didn't speak aloud.

"...We have already passed the place that big brother said...that big brother..."

The old lady was silent for a while, then spoke aloud, paused again, and then continued,

"...The big brother said it, did we hear something wrong... Did we forget something..."

"……No……"

The old man fell silent and shook his head.

"...Then let's look further..."

The old lady said something again, and fell silent again, walking forward.

"...the road we walked just now, there are several forks in the road... Did we take a fork in the road..."

After walking along the dark street for a while, the old lady turned her head again and asked the old man.

The old man was silent and did not answer.

"...Then let's search one by one, street by street...According to what the big brother said, it should be in these directions..."

"it is good."

The old lady spoke again.

The old man just responded and helped the old lady to move forward.

"...I've been to that street over there before...and the fork in the road just now, we've also looked for it over there..."

In some deserted streets, the old lady's rambling words can be heard.

He just walked forward gradually, stumbling more and more, panting heavily.

"... Take a break. Drink some water."

The old man supported the old lady, and the two stopped on the side of the road.

Waiting for the old lady to stand still, the old man unscrewed the little bottle of water left in his hand and handed it to the old lady.

The old lady took it and drank it into her mouth.

The last order of water is almost over.

The old lady kept some and handed them to the old man.

The old man took it, took a sip, and finished the last bit of water in the bottle.

He screwed back on the cap of the empty bottle and still held it in his hand.

The old man supported the old lady, and then stood on the side of the street,

He raised his head again and looked at the sky above his head,

In the night, the bright moon is already hanging high.

It was already late at night.

"...It's getting late."

Turning his head again, he looked around, the old man looked to his side, in an alley beside the road,

In the dark and dilapidated alley, only some lights were lit in the direction of the end of the alley, dispelling the surrounding night.

"... Let's go over there and see if we can ask someone to stay for the night. If not, we can find a place sheltered from the wind for the night. We will look for it tomorrow when it dawns."

The old man said aloud, looking at the place with lights in the alley.

Beside, the old lady listened, shook her head, and was about to say something more,

"...I'll stop by and ask that family... It's too late, if you ask one another, everyone else has rested, so maybe you can ask someone who knows."

The old man spoke again.

The old lady turned her head again and looked into the alley.

Not knowing whether it was because of the first half of the old man's sentence or the second half, the old lady nodded and agreed.

"Then go and ask."

The old man supported the old lady again, still holding the empty bottle in his hand, and the old lady was still holding the photo in her hand tightly,

The two staggered slightly, walked into the dark and dilapidated alley, and walked towards the end of the alley, where the lights were on.

Go to the end of the alley, in front of the courtyard gate,

In the closed courtyard door, through the gap of the courtyard door, some dim lights reflected on the old couple.

The old couple walked to the gate of the courtyard and knocked on the gate.

……

"... Is there anyone in the house..."

Hearing the knock on the door of the half-hidden courtyard,

Looking at the little girl who had already run to the courtyard,

In the yard, under the lamp, a few old people still had red eyes, hunched over, trembling slightly, looking at the little girl by the gate,

The fundus of the eyes became more and more dazed, mixed with some reluctance, pain, distressed, a little complicated,

It's just that there are more tears in the eyes.

Some people opened their mouths, and some couldn't hold back their tears.

By the courtyard gate,

The little girl who ran behind the gate was still red with tears,

He just lowered his head, stretched out his hands, and opened the closed courtyard door little by little.

In the courtyard, the dimly lit yellow lights, through the gradually opened courtyard door,

More and more images were reflected from the courtyard door and outside the courtyard. The old couple standing in the darkness dispelled the night surrounding them.

"...Grandpa Xu, Grandpa Chen...the door opened, I'm going to sleep, I'm sleepy...I'm sleepy..."

After opening the door, the little girl didn't raise her head, she still lowered her head, she just lowered her head, said something aloud, then turned around, and hurriedly ran towards the next room in the yard.

And outside the opened courtyard door,

The old couple looked at the opened door, facing the lights swaying from the yard, but stopped their movements,

Seeing the little girl who opened the door, the old couple's eyes fell on the little girl, they paused, and then followed the little girl.

I couldn't help but staggered a little, moved my feet forward, and stopped again,

It's just that his gaze was still on the little girl who turned around and ran towards the room next to the yard.

Chapter 985

"Tongtong..."

Stumbling under his feet, he stood by the open courtyard door.

trembling all over, raised his head,

Looking at the back of the little girl running towards the yard under the light of the incandescent lamp,

Opened her mouth, the old lady's cloudy eyes were a little dazed,

The hand holding the photo tightly was trembling, but his eyes were a little red, and he murmured a little.

Next to him, the old man was supporting the old lady, and he also bent his back, raised his head, and looked at the little girl, his eyes were a little lost.

yard,

The little girl didn't hear the faint murmur of the old lady's voice,

He just lowered his head and ran past a few old people by the courtyard, didn't look at them, and hurriedly wanted to run into the house by the courtyard.

"Tongtong..."

By the courtyard, a few old people with red eyes and tears still in their eyes,

He looked at the old couple who opened the door, then turned his head and looked at the little girl,

Seeing the little girl burying her head and making hurried movements, the eye sockets of the few old people became more red, silent, trembling all over.
