Chapter 46 end

"I can't believe it, this is our home." Mei Xiang said.I also nodded.The burns on his neck and back were still stinging. "Hey, Dolph, are you okay?" Dad asked worriedly. "Well. It's all right. It's almost fine. The sprained foot is much better. It's been a week after all." "The home has been destroyed. But mom thinks it's fine. Dolph and Meixiang are fine and alive." After my mother finished speaking, she asked her father again, "You say yes."Dad also firmly replied: "Yes!" In fact, if Mom hadn't opened the window and Dad had thrown us out of the window, Meixiang and I don't know what would have happened now.

We came before the burnt remains of our home.The house was burnt to nothing but its black frame, which looked like a giant barbecue combo.Refrigerators, sideboards, bunk bed frames, and other miscellaneous things piled up among the scattered debris.The fiery red sunset shone on the ruins, and it seemed that they were still burning. "Oh, brother, look there! By the sink!" Following Meixiang's voice, I looked over.I immediately understood what Mei Xiang had discovered. In the rubble, next to the tall, lonely kitchen sink, something glowed orange.It was the empty jam jar reflecting the setting sun.

After a moment of hesitation, I said, "Just leave him there. It's pathetic, but it should be charred." "What will the old man be reincarnated into this time?" "Yeah, what's going to happen?" Could it be fleas or something?I guess.However, when I thought about explaining what fleas are to Meixiang, I felt that it would be too troublesome, so I didn't open my mouth. "Dorph, let's go." "yes." At my dad's urging, I left there.Taking a deep breath, he walked deep into the alley. "Do you remember the place we made an appointment tonight? Is it okay to go alone?" Mom said worriedly.

I replied: "It's okay." My relatives who live in Kansai came to pick me up at seven o'clock this evening.We made an appointment to meet before the taxi pick-up point at N station.After the funeral, they told me many times that I could not mistake the place and time. Walking towards the alley, I suddenly glanced at my feet. The sun has turned behind.Cast long shadows on the asphalt.Such a lonely long shape is very similar to the one I saw when I walked into the school building with Mr. S that evening. I shook my head and looked up. It's okay, I said it again.
