The Ace Girl of Campus Rebirth

asked softly.

Si Tong's words did not elicit an answer from the old man.

"See? Seen? Have you seen it?" The old man himself didn't know what he was talking about. He shook his head, took the rags and various mineral water bottles he had picked up, and returned to the basement of the slum building.

When the old man left, Sitong was still standing there.

"Hey, little sister!" An aunt came out of another slum building. She pulled Sitong and said, "Little sister, do you recognize Mr. Liu?"

Si Tong turned sideways.

The aunt had already pulled Sitong home and said, "Come on, let me tell you about Old Man Liu."

After entering the aunt's house, the aunt started to loudspeaker: "Old man Liu, I heard that my wife died a long time ago, and my son and daughter-in-law were swept into the sea when there was a big wave in the sea. Their bodies are still here." did not find.

"I have been depressed for a long time, but my son and daughter-in-law have left a granddaughter, and they depend on each other for life.

"But it's a pity that there was a heavy rain more than ten years ago, and there was another flood in the county. Old man Liu is pitiful, because his family is poor and he can only live in the basement. Everyone has early warning of human-induced floods, so... Can't hear it in the basement.

"My son and daughter-in-law passed away early, and my granddaughter was also swept away because of the flood. Good luck to him. He was saved by the firefighters. Now, more than ten years later, people are like walking zombies. It makes people feel sad to see him!"

The aunt finished speaking in one breath.

Si Tong's eyes were drooped to the extreme.

She has heard countless sad and touching stories, both happy and sad, and has experienced countless life and death separations.

But she always looks at everyone from an outsider's perspective.

This time I heard about the old man from my aunt, why did she feel... a pain in her heart?

It seems that in an era that was long forgotten by her, something happened that she couldn't recall?

"Honey, I'm back." The aunt's husband came home.

The aunt's husband is a fair-skinned middle-aged man. Because he works in a factory, his face is somewhat stained with dust.

"Hey, are there any guests at home?" The man asked while changing his shoes after entering the house.

The aunt said "Shh" and then said to the man: "It's a little sister who comes to see Old Man Liu next door."

Upon hearing that he was here to see Old Man Liu next door, the man's amiable demeanor changed instantly.

But after a pause, he just said: "That's really a weirdo."

"Mom, dad, mom, dad -" Si Tong saw two children running in from the door of her aunt's house.

A boy and a girl, both in their early teens, had just returned home.

"Hahaha, we lured Old Man Liu next door to the beach. We deliberately placed a lot of empty bottles on the beach for him to pick up!"

The boy naughtily touched his face with his hand, his face showing the playfulness of a child after playing a prank.

"I told you not to punish him, but why didn't you listen?" The aunt stepped forward and slapped each of her son and daughter hard on the buttocks.

"It's not my fault!" the girl cried.

The boy argued: "Who makes him look so annoying! If you like picking up rags, then go ahead and pick them up. Don't live next to our house! I hate you!"

Sitong's eyes were gradually getting colder.

The aunt made a gesture as if she wanted to hit her children, but finally took it back: "Be careful that Old Man Liu eats you!"

At this point, the boy and girl suddenly screamed.

When Sitong heard the shouting words of the two children, his cold eyes raised sharply:

"No, no, no! That old man Liu is a monster! He is old and ugly, and his eyes will turn red! Woohoo! He can die by himself, why are he still scaring us here!"
