Chapter three hundred and ninety-six paper feeding
Hadron died yesterday afternoon?
I can clearly feel that my heart is beating non-stop at this moment!
I asked Grandpa with a trembling voice, "Grandpa, are you sure Qiangzi died yesterday afternoon?"
"How can I lie to you about this kind of thing? Besides, you are my grandson and it doesn't make much sense for me to lie to you!"
I was stunned for a while. Grandpa was right. He and I are our own people. There was no need to lie to me!
"If you don't come back today, I will go over and deliver the paper in person later. Now that you are back, you can go in my place!" Grandpa said casually.
Qiangzi died yesterday afternoon. I still can't accept this fact.
If this is the case, how should I explain the fact that I met Qiangzi on the way yesterday and returned to Zhaojiacun with him.
I suddenly thought of a possibility and my body shook violently.
Maybe what grandpa said about Qiangzi's death yesterday afternoon was true, and it was also true that I met Qiangzi and returned to Zhaojiacun with him.
It’s just that what I encountered was not a living hadron, but the ghost of a hadron!
"Dongfang, what's wrong with you? I feel like your face doesn't look right. Did something happen?"
I was raised by my grandfather since I was a child, and he could tell at a glance that I was feeling uneasy now.
I hesitated for a moment, then raised my head and looked at him, "Grandpa, I met Qiangzi last night, and I went back to Zhaojiacun with him!"
"What?" Grandpa was stunned.
Then I told my grandpa what happened last night.
After listening to this, grandpa was silent for a long time before slowly saying, "I'm afraid what you encountered was indeed the ghost of Qiangzi. It seems that Qiangzi's death was not simple, otherwise his ghost would not have found you specially. Maybe he had something to say.
I want to tell you."
Qiangzi has something to say to me?
Qiangzi's popularity in Zhaojiacun is quite good, and he has good relationships with many people. Qiangzi and I are relatively acquainted, but we definitely can't be called old friends.
If he really had any unspoken wishes, and there were so many choices, why didn't he find someone else but me?
I told my grandfather my doubts.
"I don't know about this, so let's do it! After breakfast, you go to Qiangzi to deliver paper. If our conjectures are true, you will definitely meet Qiangzi's ghost again."
I nodded. It seems that there is no other better way now. I can only do what grandpa said.
After discussing it with my grandfather, I slowly calmed down.
When I picked up the bowls and chopsticks to eat again, I saw Huang Xuan had stopped and looked at me with a half-smile expression on his face.
I suddenly thought of what this kid said to me after I got home last night, "Did you meet a ghost tonight?"
Could it be that this child already knew that the hadron I encountered was a ghost?
My eyes were fixed on Huang Xuan: "Did you already know that Huang Xuan I met on the road was a ghost?"
This is simply unbelievable. Huang Xuan was at home all day yesterday. Even if he knew that Qiangzi died in the afternoon, he would not know that I met Huang Xuan on the road, unless he had a pair of clairvoyance!
But the probability of this happening is basically equal to an old sow knowing how to drive.
"Hehe..." An innocent smile appeared on Huang Xuan's young face.
It has been a while since Huang Xuan came to our house. This is the first time I saw this smile on Huang Xuan's face. "I told you a long time ago, what you encountered was a ghost."
I was speechless for a moment. Huang Xuan did say these words to me yesterday, but I was very tired at the time, and Huang Xuan was still a child, so I didn't pay too much attention to what he said.
Grandpa looked at me, and then stretched out his hand to pat Huang Xuan's little head. "I have long heard that people who are born as boys often have a power that ordinary people cannot understand. It seems to be true today."
I looked at Huang Xuan in surprise. Could it be that Huang Xuan was like Professor X in "X-Men", with the ability to see through others.
"Hey kid, do you have special powers? You can see what happened to others in the past."
If Huang Xuan knows that he has this kind of power, he must not waste it and make good use of it.
Huang Xuan looked at me, and then nodded blankly, "I don't know if I have the power you mentioned, but when I met you last night, I knew you had met a ghost."
It seems that Huang Xuan doesn't know much about his talent.
"and you……"
"Okay, I think you've almost finished your meal. You'd better hurry up and deliver the paper!"
I originally wanted to continue asking Huang Xuan something about him, but my grandfather interrupted me before I could say anything.
It seemed that my grandfather was very taboo about Huang Xuan's affairs. Seeing that I was almost done eating, he urged me to go to Qiangzi's house to deliver the paper, without giving me a chance to continue asking about Huang Xuan's affairs.
I curled my lips and guessed with some malice that my grandfather cared so much about Huang Xuan. Could it be that Huang Xuan was actually my grandfather's illegitimate son?
My grandma passed away when my grandpa was still very young, and he raised my dad alone. After living alone for so many years, it is not impossible for my grandpa to make some mistakes outside.
"You brat, what are you thinking about?" Just as I was deep in thought thinking about these questions, my grandfather suddenly spoke and brought my thoughts back to reality.
"I don't think so." I smiled bitterly. I knew my grandfather's bad temper, but I didn't dare to express my true thoughts.
Grandpa had already prepared everything. After dinner, he picked up a dozen yellow papers and walked to Qiangzi's house.
Qiangzi was not an only child, he also had an older brother, who got married and moved out, leaving Qiangzi living alone with his parents.
The most unfortunate thing in a person's life is that a white-haired person gives away a black-haired person, but fortunately, although Qiangzi died, at least they still have another child to rely on.
The weather today is not very good, it is cloudy and the sky is gray.
All this seems to symbolize the sadness of Qiangzi's family.
When I arrived at Qiangzi's house, a lot of people had gathered here.
I see that I know all these people here. They are all from Zhaojiacun.
After seeing me coming, many people came over to say hello to me.
After responding to them one by one, I went into the house to find Qiangzi's parents.
I put down the dozen yellow papers I had brought, and before I could go in, I saw Qiangzi’s parents coming out to greet me.
"Dongfang, you're here!"
"Uncle Li, I am here to deliver paper to Brother Qiangzi on behalf of my grandfather."
Qiangzi is slightly older than me, so I call him Brother Qiangzi, and naturally I call his parents "Uncle Li" and "Aunt Li".
"Dongfang, if you are interested, come in and sit down quickly!"
Uncle Li and Aunt Li had sad voices and red eyes. It was obvious that they had been crying for a long time because of Qiangzi's death.
