Chapter 10 3. Mysterious Attraction (2)

The doctor checked it out and said to take an X-ray.Chen Busen couldn't go anymore, so he had to carry the old lady on his back to make a film.Twenty minutes later, the X-ray results came out. It was a ligament strain and a slight bone fracture. The doctor told Chen Busen that your mother's condition is pretty good, and I'm glad there was no fracture. Usually, an old man of this age falls like this. Most of them will be fractured, but she must rest at home for more than a month.Chen Busen found it funny when the doctor called the old lady his mother. He has been without father and mother for twenty years.Grandma didn't bring so much money for medicine, so Chen Busen had to pay for it.After they took the medicine, Chen Busen knew that they might not be able to leave.Sure enough, the old lady said, Mr. Liu, do me a favor now and hire a taxi to take Taotao home.I will give you back the money.

Chen Busen's head got big.This meant that he would follow the old lady and Taotao back to the place that made his heart skip a beat.Chen Busen told himself: that place must never be visited.But it is even more suspicious to forcefully slip away now.He decided to go to the kindergarten first, take a step at a time, and find a chance to slip away. Chen Busen hailed a car and went to pick up Taotao from the kindergarten.Taotao took a look and said, Grandma, did you get into a fight?The kindergarten teacher also came out and said, you can't send Taotao to school tomorrow, right?Grandma shook her head wryly.The teacher said, there are really no children of ours where you live, or we can pick them up together.Grandma said, no need, I'll figure it out when I get home.Chen Busen thought, why don't you ask me to deliver it?How can this be good.At this time, the teacher just turned around and asked him, are you...?Chen Busen was speechless, Taotao said that he was Uncle Liu.Grandma said that Mr. Liu works nearby, thanks to him today.The teacher looked at him and said, I know you, I see you are always standing outside the fence playing with Taotao for several days.Grandma said he was a good man.

Chen Busen bit the bullet and sent Taotao and grandma home. Along the way, his heart was overwhelmed, and he was going to the place where he committed the crime in a while.There he once killed Taotao's father.He felt that it was a place absolutely not to go, a taboo place.It wasn't until now that Chen Busen realized that he had been completely out of his mind for a week. He was doing an extremely dangerous and unthinkable thing, which was not only worthless but would eventually kill him.Chen Busen seemed to have come to his senses and was thinking about how to get out, but it would be suspicious to get out rashly when the old lady needed help the most, but he really didn't want to see that building.Chen Busen was thinking about countermeasures in his head like this, and he couldn't think of a way to get out until the taxi drove downstairs.But he told himself: Never go upstairs.However, when the old lady broke her leg, it was unreasonable not to carry her upstairs.

He paid for the car and finally came up with a way.He said to the driver, Master, I am not going upstairs because I am in a hurry, can you please carry her upstairs, I will pay you ten yuan, you just need to support her, because there is an elevator.When the driver heard that it was so easy to make money, he said, yes.Unexpectedly, grandma waved her hand and said, Mr. Liu, how can I ask you to spend more money?If there is an elevator, you can just help me to walk. Are you in such a hurry to leave in just a few minutes?You have to go upstairs and I have to pay you back the hospital money.Chen Busen said, forget about the money.The old lady waved to the driver to let him go.The driver said, I am embarrassed to earn this money, so, you help the old lady up, and I will leave.

Chen Busen had no choice but to help the old lady into the elevator.At this time, Chen Busen felt a feeling that he had never experienced before. It didn't look like fear or irritability, but more like a kind of sadness, blowing gently from his heart like the wind. However, it made him suddenly look powerless.Because he remembered that day in the elevator, he was wearing a big mask. Now that he had gone upstairs, Chen Busen was suddenly not afraid anymore.The most dangerous place may be the safest place.None of this looks like a conspiracy.Chen Busen said to himself, it's nothing special.Instead, he suddenly had a desire to go in and take a look at the room again.

The door opened.They entered the house.The furnishing of the house has not changed much.But the bedroom of Li Ji and his wife was tightly closed.As expected, Leng Wei was not there.When Chen Busen sat down on the chair, he still felt a sense of suffocation.He felt that the door would open at any moment: Li Ji appeared there.But he quickly turned this vision into a more real danger: the door opened, the police showed up, and he was caught without a fight.Chen Busen closed his eyes, thinking, it's better to end like this. Taotao started to play sweet potato carts all over the floor.The old lady made hot tea for Chen Busen. When Chen Busen took the tea, he felt ashamed.The old lady limped into the room and took the money and wanted to return it to Chen Busen, but Chen Busen didn't want it.He thought it was funny that the money robbed in this house was used on her, but now she wanted to pay him back, so he resolutely refused.The old lady burst into tears.She said, Mr. Liu, you are a good person. Our family meets good people as well as bad ones. Taotao's father is gone, so he was killed.His mother also went crazy and was in a mental hospital.She couldn't help crying after all.Chen Busen's heart tightened, and he sat there unable to move.

The old lady wiped her tears and said that, crying while talking.Chen Busen sat still, just looked at her.He couldn't say he felt any guilt, but he felt that the atmosphere was weird: the victim cried to the murderer, which made Chen Busen feel very uncomfortable.Chen Busen always thought that although he was doing something legally criminal, there are a lot of criminals in the world. Wouldn't it be a crime if his parents threw him away?Therefore, he didn't think it was a big deal to steal and kill people.But at the moment Chen Busen is very uncomfortable, because he feels that he has developed a very good feeling with Taotao in the past few days, but the old lady talked about it as soon as she went upstairs. It's a mess.He said perfunctorily to the old lady: Don't be sad.
