Qin Nianzhen ran out of the military hospital and drove back to Xia's home.
The distance was not far, just 2 kilometers, but it became extra long because of traffic jams everywhere. After driving for nearly ten minutes, she was impatient. In the end, she simply parked the car at the intersection, got out of the car and walked home.
I ran all the way and arrived in front of the door. I saw that there was no light in the whole villa, and darkness shrouded the spire house, giving it a gloomy and terrifying feeling.
Her heartbeat accelerated again for no reason, pounding violently, and her inexplicable uneasiness expanded again.
She kept comforting herself that either the old man hadn't come home yet, or the old man was sleeping, so the lights were not turned on at home.
The moment he opened the door, with the sensitivity of a soldier, Qin Ninzhen immediately noticed an unusual aura.
This is the smell of blood!
Although it is very light, it is enough for her to distinguish.
How is that possible? Why does the house smell like blood?
Her heart suddenly sank. She wanted to escape again, but her intuition told her that something must have happened at home.
With trembling fingers, she turned on the lights at home.
Bright incandescent lights lit up the whole house one after another. Shoes were neatly placed at the entrance. She caught a glimpse of Xia Zhenhai's shoes on the cabinet, as usual, which showed that the old man had returned.
She quickly shouted, "Dad, Daddy!"
The only thing that answered her was the empty house and the faint echo.
She walked into the home cautiously. There was no one in the dining room or the living room. As soon as she walked out of the living room, she caught a glimpse of a shocking pool of blood spreading on the ground. The hideous reddish-brown color had solidified.
She rushed into the living room.
The sight in front of her completely shocked her.
I saw Xia Zhenhai curled up on the ground, blood everywhere, shocking blood, everywhere.
There was a scar as big as a bowl on his forehead, and the back of his head was stained with blood. The blood on the ground no longer flowed and was solidified like death. The rich smell of blood in the air was very pungent.
At this moment, Qin Nianzhen was shocked, stunned, stupid, and his brain could not think.
She was motionless, unable to accept the reality in front of her. A person who was fine in the morning was in trouble as soon as he said something was wrong. How could she explain this to Xia Shengting? How could she forgive herself?
After a long time, her numb body walked forward mechanically until she reached Xia Zhenhai.
She knelt down and touched him gently. She knew that he was dead and could not still be alive after bleeding so much. His body had begun to stiffen and there was no trace of warmth. Her hands were stained with him.
There was blood. She looked at her hands, tears streaming down her eyes uncontrollably.
A generation of heroes died in their own homes without any explanation. It was neither heroic nor peaceful.
There were no last words, not even time to say goodbye.
It's all her fault for not taking a good look at him.
She knew clearly that Xia Zhenhai was in a bad mood recently, but she failed to stop him in time. It was all her fault. She blamed herself so much that she could not get over her sadness and self-blame.
She raised her head and looked around.
Xia Zhenhai apparently fell down the stairs, hit the back of his head and forehead on a marble pillar, and died of excessive blood loss.
Maybe the old man just went downstairs to answer the phone.
This is how he lost his life.
Qin Nianzhen has been in the army for many years and is used to seeing life and death, but now, her emotions are almost broken. She wants to stand up, but unfortunately her legs have been squatting for too long, and the numbness and tingling sensation makes her fall to the ground instead.
She fell to the ground in embarrassment.
My mind went blank.
Until her cell phone rang sharply, she answered the call like a zombie, her hands were covered in blood, and the phone was stained with blood. She answered the phone close to her face, and her cheeks were stained with blood.
"Hello." She answered the phone with a cry.
On the other end of the phone, Xia Shengting was obviously stunned. In his mind, it had been more than 20 years since he heard Qin Ninzhen crying. The last time was when his child was lost. Since then, Qin Ninzhen has shed all her tears.
She never cried again. In his mind, she had always been an extremely strong person, so strong that even as a man, he admired her.
If it weren't for the big event that the sky was falling, she wouldn't be able to do this.
"Nianzhen, what's wrong? What happened? I heard that you turned back to K City on the way." Xia Shengting asked nervously.
"Sheng Ting, I'm sorry. Dad passed away unexpectedly... It's my fault. I didn't keep an eye on him all the time. He fell down the stairs and lost too much blood. He already..." She broke down in tears.
, can't say any more.
Xia Shengting seemed to have been hit hard by thunder, and he couldn't even make a sound of shock.
There was silence for a while on the phone.
"I'm sorry, Yunxi accidentally had a car accident today. He is still in the hospital, so he is not seriously injured. I rushed home in a hurry, but I didn't expect that my father had been in an accident." Qin Nianzhen sat on the ground and buried his head deeply.
Between my knees, I have no face to face anyone.
"Nian Zhen. I don't blame you. I'll be right back."
Xia Shengting is a responsible person. Qin Nianzhen has paid too much for the Xia family. He has always owed her. If he can have a wife like her in this life, what more can he ask for.
"Don't move at home. Take a rest and adjust your mood. I'll take care of the rest." He cared eagerly.
"Yeah." Qin Nian was really tired. At this time, she also needed someone to rely on.
"Don't tell Yunxi yet. She was hit by a car, her placenta was unstable, and she fainted from pain. Although she is awake now, she can no longer suffer violent mood swings. Let's hide her father's matter from her for a day or two." Qin Nianzhen said.
An Yunxi thought about it and said.
"I know. I will make arrangements. Wait for me."
After Xia Shengting finished speaking, he quickly hung up the phone.
Immediately, he summoned his adjutant.
Although there were important things in the capital that were difficult to get away from, such a change occurred at home and he had to put aside his military affairs.
He gave detailed instructions to his adjutant, then took a group of people and set off immediately.
After Qin Nianzhen hung up the phone, she remembered that An Yunxi was still waiting for her call to tell her grandfather that she was safe. But in her current state, she really couldn't talk on the phone with a normal voice.
So, she sent a text message to An Yunxi.
"It's safe at home, you should rest first."
Soon, An Yunxi replied to the text message, "Okay, Mom."
Qin Nianzhen looked at the phone screen with empty eyes, which turned brighter, then darker, and finally returned to endless darkness.
Hiding it for a while is just a temporary thing.
Keep one, it's one.
Then, she tightly covered her face with her hands, lowered her head feebly, and once again immersed herself in boundless pain.
