13 Mink Street

　　 Grandpa's hand rested on Karen's shoulder.

　　 Karen's body also trembled.

　　 "Then... go home."

"okay."

　　 Karen was clear and sure of what he had just experienced. He didn't think it was his own "excessive worry" under this situation, it was a pure "frontline of life and death."

　　 stretched out his hand,

　　 pushed open the courtyard door,

　　 Karen took a step forward,

　　 take a step forward,

　　 Then the knees instantly softened, and the whole person staggered forward;

　　 Thanks to his other hand, he kept pulling the Golden Retriever's towing rope, which caused the Golden Retriever to be dragged forward, and finally fell on the Golden Retriever.

"Well…"

　　 Golden Retriever let out a mournful cry.

　　 Karen immediately got up with his hands on the ground, couldn't help but glanced back at the grandpa who was standing there.

　　 Grandpa is looking at him without any other expressions.

　　 Karen picked up the golden retriever, which was thick and fleshy, and continued to walk home.

　　 In the living room, Aunt Mary is sitting there discussing matters with a few middle-aged men and women. It should be the children of the elderly in the nursing home to arrange the funeral.

　　 Aunt Mary called Karen, but Karen didn’t respond. When she went up the stairs, she let go of the tow rope.

　　 went all the way to the third floor, pushed open the door of his own room, walked in, locked the door again, and then leaned on the door with his back, the whole person slowly slid down and sat on the ground.

　　 "Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhiya

　　 Karen began to gasp uncontrollably,

　　 Tears, snot, cold sweat began to drip uncontrollably,

　　 He clenched his fists with both hands,

　　 suppressed the voice to an extremely low level, and kept swearing in his mouth.

　　 at this moment,

　　Only swear words that don't need to think and stick to instinct can help him resolve a little.

but,

　　 Not long after,

　　 Mina’s voice came from outside the door:

　　 "Brother, lunch is in the kitchen, I'll heat it up for you, and you can eat a little?"

　　 Karen took a deep breath, wiped away tears with her palm, and wiped her nose with the back of her hand.

road:

　　 "No, I'm not hungry."

　　 "Okay, brother."

　　 Mina left.

　　 Karen leaned against the door, looking up.

　　Mr. Hoffen saw who I was, and Grandpa was at the door just now, obviously... he wanted to kill me!

　　He just wanted to kill himself!

　　 The "identity problem" that I thought I would hardly worry about, has brought a clear crisis to myself at this moment, no, I have been escorted to the gallows.

　　 At this time, the voice of cousin Lent rang from outside:

　　 "Brother, grandpa calls you to go have lunch with him."

　　 Karen gritted his teeth and waved his fists.

　　 Damn, damn, damn! !

　　 Now I am most afraid of facing my grandpa, Diss!

but,

　　 What's more **** thing is that Karen found out that he didn't dare to refuse.

　　 After a moment of empty eyes,

"Ah…"

　　 Karen suddenly laughed.

　　He covered his face with his hands,

　　 couldn't restrain this laughter, and his shoulders trembled.

　　 He clearly knows the change in his current state of mind,

　　From one extreme to the other,

　　Abbreviation:

　　 The jar broke and fell.

　　 After being greatly stimulated by the spirit, people are prone to have similar emotions. For example, people who are diligent and thrifty will rush to spend a lot of money, and people who are clean and self-conscious will suddenly rush in;

　　 After the mood stabilizes, I will probably regret it.

　　 But this does not prevent them from immersing themselves in that period of indulgence;

　　 People, after all, have flesh and blood and soul, even if they are machines, they need to be stopped for inspection and maintenance after being overloaded.

　　 Karen stood up slowly,

　　 He looked at himself in the bedroom mirror,

　　 Karen did not feel regret or ashamed for his previous weakness. A normal person suddenly faced the situation of life and death. Who can really keep calm?

but,

　　He is tired.

　　...

　　 It's three o'clock in the afternoon, and it's long past lunch.

　　 Karen walked to the dining table and sat down.

　　 Diss raised his head and glanced at Karen, and found that Karen's expression was very natural, coupled with the wet hair that was trimmed back, he looked very energetic.

　　 Placed in front of him was a plate of noodles with ketchup, and the middle plate was filled with pie.

　　 picked up the fork, rolled up the noodles and put it in the mouth,

　　Sweet and sour, soft and waxy...well, it's unpalatable.

　　 Forked another stuffing pie, took a bite, the sweet feeling almost didn't send Karen away directly.

　　 Karen reluctantly put down the fork and sighed.

　　 Diss asked slowly while eating slowly:

"What's wrong?"

　　 Karen noticed that Aunt Mary and Aunt Winnie were not on the second floor, and replied straightforwardly:

"unpalatable."

　　 Mina who came by with water from the side heard such a direct conversation and was obviously a little uncomfortable, because everyone in the family, including her parents, was always in awe when facing her grandfather.

　　 For example, comments on food and self-willedness are not allowed.

　　 Diss took a bite of the stuffing pie and asked:

"What do you want to eat?"

　　 Karen shook his head and said, "Tomorrow I will cook lunch."

　　Dis wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, and slowly said:

"good."

　　 But then, Diss pointed to the food in front of Karen again: "Don't waste it."

"good."

　　 Karen started eating again.

　　 Diss took a glass of water beside him, took a sip, and kept his eyes on Karen.

　　 And Karen, obviously frowning while eating, he did not make any emotional cover-ups, and sighed while eating.

　　 "Food requires the most basic respect." Diss reminded.

　　 Karen also took a glass of water from Mina, used it to swallow the sweet and greasy pie in his mouth, and said:

　　 "It's really disrespectful to cook the ingredients badly."

　　 Diss nodded thoughtfully.

road:

　　 "Then I look forward to tomorrow's lunch."

　　 At this time, Aunt Mary walked up from downstairs. Karen noticed that her aunt had all kinds of anger on her face, but when she appeared in front of Grandpa, she quickly converged.

　　 "The guest is gone?" Diss asked.

　　 "Well, they chose the cheapest set meal." Aunt Mary said.

　　 "Yeah." Diss didn't express anything special.

The cheapest package, that is, renting the first floor of the Inmelais house as a place of mourning. All extra arrangements and arrangements are not needed. It is similar to the "stop spirit" there. Relatives and friends can take a look at a specific time in the morning or afternoon. good;

　　You don’t even need to prepare...beverages and beverages.

　　"It’s even more ridiculous that they want to cremate Mr. Mosang, and they don’t even want to buy the money for the cemetery. In order to save money, some of their brothers and sisters also said that Mr. Mosang is a believer of the Berry religion.

　　 But when I treated Mr. Mossan's body, I clearly saw an angel tattoo on his back. "

　　 There are believers of several sects. The doctrine stipulates that they must be cremated after death. The end of the body is also a new beginning. However, most sects, or most people, are still unwilling to choose cremation.

　　Of course, the most important point is that cremation is much cheaper than burial with all tails.

　　 Aunt Mary is so angry that several of Mr. Mossan’s children deliberately weave this unreliable reason to save money... Well, they also cut off the bulk of her originally planned profit.

　　 Coffins, cemeteries, priests, etc. are the real oil and water.

　　 "Yeah." Mr. Diss responded and replied calmly, "According to the customer's request."

　　 "Okay, father."

　　 "By the way, since Mr. Mossan's family did not ask for food, then it happens that Karen will prepare the lunch tomorrow."

　　 "Okay, father." Aunt Mary glanced at Karen subconsciously.

　　 "I am a little tired today, so I will go to my room to rest first. If I'm busy tomorrow morning, you should rest earlier."

　　 "Okay, father."

　　 "Okay, grandpa."

　　 Diss got up and left the dining table and went to the third floor.

　　 "Mina, you take Lundt to accompany me to set up the curtains, oh, then call Chrissy together."

　　 "Okay, mother."

　　 Aunt Mary looked at Karen again and asked:

　　 "My nephew, chef, do I need to purchase some ingredients for you in advance?"

　　 "No need, aunt, there are a lot in the kitchen, enough."

　　 "Then I look forward to tomorrow's lunch."

　　 Aunt Mary took Mina and the others downstairs. Although it means that Paul and Ron will come over to set up the mourning meeting place, but tonight she needs to put some basic things together.

　　 Karen finished eating and began to collect the plates.

　　 At this time, the door of the uncle and aunt's room on the second floor was pushed open from inside.

　　 "Karen, Karen."

　　 "Uncle Mason?" Karen followed the prestige.

　　 "Anything else to eat?" Uncle Mason asked.

　　 "There are some stuffing pies."

　　 "Okay, okay, give it to me, give it to me."

　　 Karen brought the plate with stuffed pie to the door of the room. Uncle Mason, in his pajamas, took the plate and immediately picked up a stuffed pie and took a big bite. He was obviously hungry and gobbled.

　　 "Uncle, you are..."

　　 Uncle Mason said helplessly: "I fell while walking and my **** still hurts a lot. I don't know if my bones are hurt. I will lie down first, so I won't delay work at home tomorrow."

　　 "That uncle, you are so careless."

　　 "Hi, if a family wants to be lucky, there must be a bad luck person to take care of everything, as long as you are healthy, I am happy."

　　 Although I know that Uncle Mason is "faring",

　　 But Karen still gave a "polite" and "moving" smile.

　　 Uncle Mason limped back to the bedroom with the plate, and did not forget to tell Karen:

　　 "Close the door."

　　 "Okay, uncle."

　　 Karen took the door, judging from the reaction of Uncle Mason in the morning, Karen guessed that his uncle should have been beaten by his father.

Um,

　　 This is normal, isn't it?

　　 Although my uncle’s children are so old, there is nothing incomprehensible about being beaten by his own father. After all, Diss almost turned out his own "grandson" today.

　　 habitually stretched out his right hand and grabbed the position in front of the right eye. This was a habit in my previous life, but I got lonely.

　　 "Karen" has good eyesight and doesn't need to wear glasses.

　　 Karen laughed at himself:

　　 "Grandson..."

　　 immediately,

　　 emphasized again:

　　 "Sun Thief."

　　...

　　 Karen didn't go down to help. After finishing the dishes, he washed and fell asleep.

　　 groggy, I slept again and again, and woke up again and again, each time I slept for only half an hour.

　　While drowsing until late at night, Karen's drowsiness disappeared.

　　 He glanced at his cousin Lent, who was sleeping on the box-spring bed opposite,

　　 Since he woke up and recovered, his cousin who had lived in the same house with his grandfather moved back to live with him immediately. One can imagine how stressful it was to sleep in the same house with his grandfather.

　　 Karen got up from the bed, turned on the lamp of the small desk, opened the drawer according to memory, and took out a book from it.

　　 The title of the book is "Money, A Meaningless Thing", and it is the autobiography of a financial tycoon in the country where Karen is located.

　　 Karen turned the pages of the book, and inside it was a sheet of "hundred" rupee banknotes.

　　 This is the money saved by the last "Karen". His pocket money is quite generous. Karen took out all of them and counted them. It was 6000 RUB.

　　 At this stage, the monthly salary of ordinary workers is almost two thousand renminbi a month, and workers in factories with good efficiency can get a monthly salary of 2500 renminbi;

　　 The two guys in the family, Paul and Ron, have a monthly salary of 3,000 RUB. Today, Paul was paid a salary increase to 4,000. After all, the salary for carrying dead people must be higher.

　　 So, this 6000 rupee is almost three months' wages of an ordinary worker. In fact, ordinary workers need family living expenses, so it's not enough to save for half a year.

When 　　 just woke up, Karen retrieved "Karen" from his memory, and he had been thinking about running away from home. He had never liked this home.

　　 But the 6000 rupee is a lot of money, but even if he goes out with this money, what can he do?

　　 "'Karen' ah,'Karen', why did you drop out of school? You left me with a high school diploma anyway."

　　 But after another thought, they at least left themselves a "little plum" face, and they weren't the little plum who played with water guns;

　　 I don’t seem to have much reason to complain about "Karen".

now,

　　 inherited this choice:

"runaway?"

　　 "Stay at home?"

　　 These two issues kept flashing in Karen's mind, but when recalling the scenes during the day, Karen couldn't help but wonder, would it be so easy to leave home if he ran away from home?

　　 This is really not as simple as a child riding a train away from home with a sum of money.

　　 but involves a kind of mystery, which is a little bit beyond my own established worldview cognition,

and,

　　 The mystery is in my own home!

　　 "Wow...Wow..."

　　 In the yard downstairs, two dog barks came.

　　 It should have been there before, but Karen didn't pay attention.

　　 put the money back in the book and continued to clamp it, and put the book in the drawer again, Karen stood up, opened the door of the room, and just saw Pu'er lying on the window sill in the aisle.

　　 The black cat in the family is looking at the golden retriever in the yard downstairs in a very anthropomorphic manner;

　　 seems to be showing off, I am in the house and you are outside.

Karen glanced at the "lonely" golden retriever in the yard. The temperature was very low at night. He felt that the golden retriever would probably not be frozen to death, but a pet that has long been accustomed to being with his owner is actually the most unbearable. Lonely.

　　 Aunt Mary and the others shouldn't pay attention to the golden retriever, or they don't bother to let it stay in the house at night, it is better to let it stay outside the house in the yard in the morning to solve it without calling someone to go for a walk.

　　 Karen walked from the third floor to the living room on the first floor, opened the door of the living room, and the golden retriever came over immediately, rubbing his face against Karen's pajamas.

　　 bent down, reached out and patted the golden retriever's head, Karen planned to take the golden retriever to the kitchen on the second floor to find something to eat.

　　 but just walked to the top of the stairs,

　　 Karen heard a strange man crying from below.

　　 In a quiet night, this voice seemed extremely clear at this time.

Karen took two steps back, glanced at the ramp leading to the basement, and tentatively walked down two steps, the voice became clearer, and you can even make up for an old man sitting in the corner so aggrieved and sobbing. Picture.

　　 But Karen still stepped back immediately without going deep.

　　 "The horror movie can't survive for three minutes. I just like it now because of that ridiculous curiosity to go to the basement alone."

　　 Karen did not scream or shout, but went upstairs and came to the kitchen.

　　 He poured a cup of milk, put the cup with milk in a large bowl and poured hot water to scald it;

　　 picked up two pieces of bread again, UU reading www.uukanshu.com bit one piece by himself and then threw the other piece in front of the golden retriever.

　　 Jin Mao lowered his head, sniffed the bread, and pushed it aside in disgust, not eating.

　　 seems to have been fed.

　　 Karen picked up the bread on the ground and threw it into the trash can, then brought the milk to the third floor.

　　 When he walked to the door of his room, Karen hesitated. Instead of pushing the door open, he turned around and came to the door of his grandfather's bedroom.

　　 reached out and knocked on the door;

　　 "Dodo... Dodo..."

　　 There is no response inside.

　　 Just as Karen was about to keep knocking on the door,

　　 but found that the door next to Grandpa's office was opened, and Grandpa wearing a black nightgown was standing in front of the study.

"what's up?"

　　 "Give grandpa a cup of hot milk."

　　 Karen handed the cup of hot milk to Diss.

　　 Diss reached out and took it, and took a sip in front of Karen.

　　 "Good night, grandpa."

"Good night."

　　 Diss closed the door of the study.

　　 Karen noticed that the light in the study was a bit swaying, which meant that Grandpa did not turn on the lights, but...lighted candles.

　　 stood at the entrance of the study for almost three minutes,

　　 Karen turned around, did not go back to his room, but went straight down the stairs, from the third floor to the first floor again.

　　 When he stood on the ramp leading to the basement again,

　　 The sound of "crying" came again.

　　 "Hehehe..."

　　 Karen couldn’t help but laugh.

　　 Then crossed his hands and ten fingers on the toes and started the warm-up before the physical education class.

　　 "Okay, I'll take a look at you now."
