Chapter 708: Midnight Cry, He Daqing

~7 min read 1,227 words

The next day.

Ah……

Fang Fang shouted and sat up.

Seeing herself stark naked.

She cried uncontrollably.

Yi Zhonghai also woke up.

Seeing such a thing.

He was also at a loss for a moment.

Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to.

Wuu……

Uncle Yi, how can I face people like this?

I don't want to live anymore, I don't want to live anymore……

Yi Zhonghai hurriedly tried to comfort her.

My fault, my fault, Fang Fang, I'll take responsibility.

Saying this, he fumbled in the drawer and shoved a stack of money at Fang Fang.

Fang Fang, take this money and buy something you like.

Your wage, I'll raise it by five hundred.

It's not that he doesn't want to give more; his pension is only this much.

The woman got angry.

Uncle Yi, what do you think I am, a prostitute?

Besides, there's a ghost here, I quit.

Yi Zhonghai almost died of fright.

With a thud, he knelt before the woman.

Fang Fang, you can't just abandon me.

The woman said fearfully.

Then I can't do anything either, there's a ghost.

I still want to live.

Yi Zhonghai quickly promised safety.

Fang Fang, after I'm gone, all my belongings and money will go to you.

You can't leave.

Without you, I can't go on.

The woman flusteredly dodged Yi Zhonghai.

Uncle, I won't leave; I'd rather die too. There's a ghost, please let me go.

Let's pretend today never happened, as long as you let me go.

Yi Zhonghai became extremely anxious.

No, you can't go.

Fang Fang, look, the ghost hasn't harmed us, has it?

Maybe it's because I don't have much time left, and an old friend is coming for me.

If you leave, where will you get such high wages?

If you leave, how will others see you, abandoning an old man?

Then how will you find a job?

Try again? Nothing has happened for so long; they're my old buddies, they wouldn't harm me.

If anything happens, I'll definitely stand in front of you.

I'll also give you my property.

Fang Fang, with such high wages, if you leave, how will you explain it to your man?

What will he think?

Why quit a good job?

Has something happened?

Fang Fang, you don't want your man to suspect something, do you?

Fang Fang, under Yi Zhonghai's repeated persuasion, also began to hesitate.

Yi Zhonghai saw her hesitation and shoved more money into her hand.

It felt heavy.

Probably over ten thousand.

The woman gripped her hand.

As if she had made up her mind, she spoke tremblingly.

Uncle, then you must first leave me your will.

Yi Zhonghai hesitated a moment, then nodded in agreement.

The two quickly drew up the will, then signed and sealed it.

Fang Fang suppressed her joy and put the will away.

Uncle, I'm also doing this for a guarantee.

"You don't blame me, do you?"

Yi Zhonghai shook his head.

"No, no, I don't have many days left either; I just want to spend a few peaceful days."

"You've suffered injustice; it's yours to bear."

The woman then stopped crying and smiled.

"Uncle, I will definitely take good care of you."

That night, the two of them, without a word, slipped into the blanket.

But they didn't do anything.

They waited until midnight, when the wind died down and the waters grew calm.

After a few more days, still nothing happened.

Gradually, the two of them became restless.

Between a man and a woman, once that layer of window paper is broken, everything becomes a matter of course.

Yi Zhonghai was unable to cope, and Fang Fang still bought him the Free and Easy Wanderer Pill.

They revelled night after night, living in a drunken dream.

In the meantime, several more incidents occurred.

But they caused no harm.

Their hearts grew bolder and bolder.

Yi Zhonghai grew increasingly thin and listless.

His whole person began to feel dizzy and foggy.

That day, Fang Fang flung herself onto Yi Zhonghai, weeping bitterly.

"Uncle, waa waa, my son got into a car accident; what should I do?"

Yi Zhonghai rallied and said, heartbroken.

"Hurry up and get treatment; why are you crying?"

The woman burst into tears.

"Treating the illness costs twenty thousand; where would I get that?"

Yi Zhonghai asked doubtfully.

"I gave you over ten thousand already, and your salary these past few months isn't small either."

The woman looked aggrieved.

"For the child's marriage, I bought a motorcycle, and elsewhere I gave the bride's family the betrothal gifts."

"This time my son had an accident; I'm afraid this marriage will be called off, and the betrothal gifts will have been wasted."

"Why is my life so bitter?"

"The child has just been raised, hasn't enjoyed a day of blessing, and then the person is gone."

It's unclear whether she was crying for herself or her son.

Can Yi Zhonghai not care?

The woman has taken him to heart; regardless, what will others think?

He said, trembling.

"Come on, take me to the bank; I'll withdraw money for you."

The woman instantly changed to an expression of grateful tears.

"Thank you, thank you, uncle; your great kindness and virtue, I will surely keep in my heart."

"I will repay you by toiling like an ox or horse."

Afterwards she again spoke softly.

"Uncle, tonight watch my performance."

Yi Zhonghai shuddered, almost sitting down on his buttocks.

His legs went weak.

"Hehe, Fang Fang, you're really good………"

This matter soon passed.

After a while.

The woman began to whimper again.

"Fang Fang, what's wrong?"

Waa waa waa……………

"Uncle, why is my life so bitter? My husband fell from the scaffolding at the construction site."

"How can I go on living………"

Yi Zhonghai thought in his heart.

Let him die.

But he couldn't say that out loud.

"Is he okay?"

"He's still unconscious in the hospital."

"Uncle, the medical costs are over thirty thousand; can you lend me some money?"

"I can't just stand by and watch him die."

"After all, he's the father of my child, and he hasn't wronged me; rather, I've wronged him."

"If I don't save him, am I still a person?"

Yi Zhonghai listened, trembling and swaying, and took out the card again.

"Come on, I'll go get money for you; I can't let you be in trouble."

"Time flies……"

That day, Fang Fang took leave and went home.

When she left, she also told Yi Xiaoxiao to come and look after things.

Yi Xiaoxiao said she would go tomorrow.

The woman left that same day.

Yi Zhonghai also didn't take it seriously.

Ghostly matters haven't happened in a long time.

He, dazed all day, had forgotten this matter.

All the way until midnight.

Bright moonlight shone on the ground; a layer of white snow on the ground reflected the moonlight.

Making the night shine brightly.

The old house, under the pressure of the accumulated snow, would occasionally make creaking sounds.

Just then, a strange sound came again.

"Yi Zhonghai, you wolf-hearted dog-lunged thing, beast, why aren't you dead yet? I, He Daqing, have come to take you."

"Hahaha, Yi Zhonghai, come with me, come on……"

The drowsy Yi Zhonghai felt a chill come over him.

Afterward, it grew colder and colder, coupled with the strange sound.

He woke up.

"Yi Zhonghai……"
