Chapter 26 13. Horror voices upstairs

On May 12, the Wenchuan Earthquake. On May 19, the National Day of Mourning, Lao Song and Tian Xiaole and I mourned silently in our room. At the same time, in the prison hundreds of miles away, all the police officers and inmates in the prison observed a collective silence. Soon, each of us donated 300 yuan to the disaster area one after another, and some prisoners also donated money. The night of guarding the corpse is still long, but I am used to this kind of days accompanied by old sex. If you don't go to the funeral home to see him before going to bed, you will always worry about him, let alone sleep peacefully.

The sound of chopping things, occasionally. One day, I finally mustered up the courage to go upstairs and knock on the door. I knocked on the door for five minutes, but there was no movement inside! At this time, a neighbor came out, a middle-aged woman: "Why, knocking on the door so loudly?" "I want to see who lives in it?" "Who lives in it? Does it have anything to do with you?" The woman pointed to the anti-theft door, "Look, there is already a layer of dust on it, and there is no one at all." "I hear the sound of chopping things every night, it's so noisy!"

The woman looked at me carefully again. At this moment, the voice of an old man in his seventies came from the room: "Xiaoying! Is your mother back?" "No, no. Dad, go back and rest!" The woman closed the door, with a sad face, "I'm so sorry, my mother passed away five years ago, and my father has been thinking about it all the time. He is old and delirious." I found that her attitude suddenly became kind, and there seemed to be something inside. At this time, the door was pushed open, and an old man with a drooling mouth came out, holding a hammer in his dead tree-like hand.

"Xiaoying! See how my kitchen knife is sharpened?" The old man stroked the hammer affectionately. "Father, the knife sharpens really well!" the woman coaxed the old man. "Oh, okay, then I'm going to cook for your mother!" The old man walked back to the house with difficulty, and then he came out again. !The old man actually passed through the wall and entered this room that was said to be unoccupied! I took a closer look, and it turned out that the wall between the two houses of this unit is connected. In other words, the woman's family and the neighbor are actually a family!

The woman blushed, "I'm really sorry. I couldn't say it just now. Now, as you can see, the person who chops things is my dad. He likes to smash things with a hammer at night. He said it was for my mother's cooking In the past, the two elders were very affectionate, but now, if I don’t let him do this, he won’t go to sleep, saying that my mother will be hungry! The old man is like a child! You have to rely on him!” "Oh, that's all right! But, why is there a door between these two rooms?" "My father and my mother used to live in door 2, and there was always a door in the middle, so that it was convenient to take care of the elderly. After my mother passed away, that room was dedicated to my father's chopping! Every night, he chops for a while. Go back to my room, tell me what I did, and then he went back to chop again, and it started again and again. No one in the community knows about this! When someone asks, I will say that there is no one at Gate 2." The woman was saying Then, the old man came back again, "Xiaoying! My food is ready!"

"Dad, your cooking is delicious!" The woman nodded politely to me and closed the door. After returning to the room, Tian Xiaole and Lao Song asked me what was going on. I didn't say anything, and my heart was sour. Seeing that old man, I seemed to see my parents and myself many years later. What can I do for them when they are old? One morning a week later, there was another knock on the door. I opened the door and saw more than a dozen people standing outside the door, including the warden, the captain, and several men and women in plain clothes. Seeing the warden, Tian Xiaole, me, and Lao Song immediately stood in a row, stood at attention, and saluted.

Tian Xiaole took a step forward, stood still, and saluted. "Report to Comrade Warden, there are 3 correctional police officers stationed in Guangyang County in Xiaodake Prison, and they are on duty. There is one body of a prisoner, and everything is normal. Tian Xiaole, deputy chief of the Penalty Enforcement Section, please give me instructions." "Everyone has worked hard! You have completed the task of nursing well." The warden shook hands with each of us. "Tomorrow the body will be cremated, and you can go home and rest!" At this time, a few policemen came in from outside, as well as a few family members of sex offenders... A middle-aged woman came in in the middle, who was said to be Lao Cai's sister.

I noticed that she was actually wearing a pair of red sneakers. I asked her, "What size are your shoes?" She stammered, "Size 37." "It was you who followed me in the county hospital?" "Sorry! I kept you chasing me for so long, but I'm actually an athlete of the city's track and field team!" I nodded solemnly, losing to track and field athletes is not a shame. Lao Song didn't speak all the time, I looked back at him, he was already sweating profusely, I called him: "Old Song!" He didn't promise me, his body went limp, and he fainted!
