Chapter 541
“Father’s kindness, wash away my past.”
“I can go to heaven, but no one knows my name.”
“Sometimes I am like stars, sometimes like the moon.”
…the
black screen, the camera shifts, The light gradually warmed up, like candlelight burning in the corner, dim, not feeling cold, but looking lonely.
The sound of footsteps, approaching, the pace is simply, not dragging the mud and water to make a hissing sound, walk to the record player, wind up the record player, pick up the stylus with big hands, gently place it on the rotating stylus, the notes flow along with it, and are closely connected to form an ancient song. Italian folk songs.
The sound of newspapers, the crying of babies, and the roar of women all followed when the songs sounded, as if they were matched with a disturbing tune for this song.
Slowly, the woman’s voice gradually disappeared, and the baby’s crying gradually turned into an adult man’s quarrel. In a short period of time, the source of the sound was lost. In the end, only the old phonograph was left to sing alone.
“Cough cough.” The
newspaper was as fragile as a cracker, and a corner was torn off when he read it lightly. The man coughed and panted. He got up, his slippers rubbed against the floor, and the sound of old footsteps could be heard. In the end, he still left. When he reached the turntable, his wrinkled hands gently lifted the stylus and closed the stylus lever.
Quiet, the newspaper closed, placed on the table, torn apart beside the record player, it was pitch black outside, the candlelight reflecting glass created a mirror, and the Mediterranean hairstyle was full of white hair.
He slowly raised his head, there was no kindness under the layers of wrinkles, but a bad relationship that strangers should not enter.
This is too lonely and depressed and quiet also requires noise to seek inner peace, so he lifted the window frame, the wind danced with the leaves, and the cicadas screamed not far away. This small room seemed to be filled with the holy water of youth. , It’s just that the emptiness can’t be made up, can’t stop the invasion of time, and finally decay.
The candle went out, the room completely lost the light, and the body swayed along with it, and fell to the sound…
……
“Sir, I suggest that you be admitted to the hospital as soon as possible, otherwise it may delay the illness.”
“Will I die?”
“Um… Sir, I can hardly assure you that you will survive.” The
doctor stared at the report, embarrassed. He sank his head for a while, and slowly gave a reply. The old man sat on the opposite side, expressionless, only kneading the cloth bag with his palm, obviously he was not calm inside.
…
“I have some trouble recently and need some money, can you lend me a little.”
“Don’t even think about it. You should pay for the mistakes you made when you were young. I’m very busy at work. Don’t bother me if I’m fine. . ” “
I apologize to you. ” “
before going to my mother’s grave, to apologize to her now, if she said she forgave you, me too. “
body tall man answered impatiently, to the side of the elderly An impossible task. Behind them, young children and dogs are playing on the lawn. The lawn sprinkler squeezes the water out high, dyes it golden in the sun, and brings up a rainbow when it falls on the ground.
“You are doing well now.”
“Since you left home, you have been doing well.”
Not afraid to hurt the old man’s heart, he was blunt and did not shy away from his dislike for the old man and the previous family. At this moment, two People stare at each other, and the taste is complicated and difficult to understand. In the end, this perfect family scene makes the old man retreat and can only step back, slowly walking out of the courtyard, putting on a gentleman’s hat, and turning to leave.
……
“Something to drink.” In an
old-fashioned tavern, the bartender was wiping the glass. The bartender was not surprised when the old man came in. After all, this tavern has no appeal to young people. Most customers except young people who like retro , That is, the elderly who have passed half a hundred years, even half of them.
“I want to find a job.”
He sat down and did not shy away from the bartender. After being surprised, he quickly shook his head and refused.
“We have no shortage of people here, and business is not good.”
“Are you George?”
“Do you know me?”
This old man who seemed to have never met knew his real name that he hadn’t used for many years, which made the bartender instantly alert. Someone called him George this time, it should have been twenty years ago.
“I think you should give me a free glass of wine. I even hugged you when you were young, don’t you remember? I worked under your grandfather and father.”
“What
do you do?” “Do the business your family originally did. . ” “
my family has been to open the pub. ” “
no, you know, you truly do business is …… kill. “
the old man looked around four weeks, after determining no one, started shaking the glass, softly tell the truth, the bartender His hands began to tremble, his eyes fixed on the old man, but when he saw that he didn’t care, he smiled sorrowfully.
“I need a job, a job that kills people.”
…
At this point, the rhythm of the video began to accelerate, various two-line montage editing techniques began to intersect, and the music was also gloomy.
“No one uses cash to settle accounts. They are all settled in BTC.
It is safe and no one can find out.” “This is just a string of codes on the Internet. I only need cash, and he has to pay me a deposit.”
“This string The code is valuable, it’s enough, go to work, and I will do the rest.” In a
dark room, the old man and the bartender were sitting in front of the computer, the screen was glowing blue lightly, seeing the bartender playing with things he couldn’t understand. Stay vigilant at all times.
The picture turned around. In the container truck, the tied passers-by were struggling desperately, but they were still unable to escape with their wings. The old man approached step by step, and his turn raised his axe and hit it down! The screams were stuck in his mouth, only the eyes flashing with tears were constantly begging for mercy.
Piercing blood vessels in his neck, being pushed directly off the rails, dripping with blood and flickering lights, countless exciting and terrifying scenes were cut into one piece.
In the end…
the sound of hiss rubbing the floor appeared, and the old man’s footsteps sounded again in the first room. He turned on the turntable lever, wound up the string, and gently lowered the stylus with his blood-stained palm, and the melodious Italian folk songs sounded again.
“Father is kind, wash away my past.”
“I can go to heaven, but no one knows my name.”
“Sometimes I am like stars, sometimes like the moon.”
“I want to return to your embrace,
I am immersed in the world again.” “Sin and life are my choice.” The
screen gradually lost its color and returned to darkness. For the last second in front of the camera, the line of sight stayed on the old man reflected by the glass, the pair of pitch black Staring straight out of the window with straight eyes, as if… staring at us watching the trailer.
