Roaming in the dark

Chapter 403
"This summer vacation, my wife and daughter went to Auckland, New Zealand. Gu Cheng died on Waiheke Island in Auckland. They are going to Waiheke Island to see what Gu Cheng wrote in the book "Yinger". Where he raised his chickens."

As Mr. Sun spoke, he tilted his head slightly, as if he was looking at the depths of the night sky, or somewhere in the distance.

"Waiheke Island is in the northeast of Auckland. It is not far from Auckland. It is only a dozen kilometers away. When the weather is clear, Waiheke Island can be seen from Auckland. From Auckland to Waiheke Island, there is a ferry, and it takes more than half an hour. .

"I don't know why, my wife and daughter didn't take a ferry across the sea like everyone else, but rented a small boat, maybe because they thought they were going to see Gucheng, and they didn't want to go to the market with those noisy tourists Let's just pass by and think of it as a very private operation, I don't know, it should be.

"Actually, the walruses in that area are very good, and there is no hurricane or anything, but by accident, the boat they were in capsized, and my wife and daughter drowned..."

"Ah!" Sheng Chuncheng couldn't help crying out.

"Even the police and the locals find it unbelievable that such a thing happened. I don't know why. I think it may be God's will. Look, I sent them out for their safety. They embarked on a road of no return, and our family of three separated like this.

"You said, could this be a punishment for me? People are doing it, and the sky is watching. Come, but to them, what's wrong with them? I did everything, and I arranged it, come to me."

As Mr. Sun said, tears rolled down from his eyes. He was crying silently, which moved Sheng Chuncheng's face.

Sheng Chuncheng had never seen his daughter before, so he didn't know what she looked like. Guo Shuang's figure appeared in his mind, and he thought that his daughter should look very similar to Guo Shuang. These water-like girls eventually turned into The foam, disappeared in the water, never to be seen again.

Sheng Chuncheng seems to understand now why Mr. Sun sits by the water every day and keeps looking at the water.Why did he ask: "Is all the water in the world together in the end?"

Sheng Chuncheng still remembered the rare brisk voice he made when he told him the answer. He must have thought that the water here was finally together with the water that hugged his wife and daughter.

"This news was told to me by my friend. When my wife and daughter went out, all the emergency calls left there were my friends in Australia, and I couldn't keep me. The friend received a call from the local police. , I didn’t dare to tell me, but flew to Auckland immediately, saw the remains of my wife and daughter, and told me after confirming.

"When I received this news, I was speaking on a conference call of our system's national branch presidents. A friend sent me a WeChat message saying that he was in Oakland. If it is convenient for me, I will call back immediately.

"As soon as I saw this WeChat, my heart skipped a beat. I felt that something had happened. It was unusual for my friend to rush to Auckland from Australia. In addition, it was only ten o'clock in the morning, and New Zealand was four hours earlier than us. The local time It was only six in the morning.

"At that time, I didn't care about anything else. I handed over the meeting to my deputy. I walked out of the meeting room and called my friend in the corridor. My friend told me the bad news. I couldn't believe it. My friend and I I turned on the video and I saw my wife and daughter lying on the bed in the mortuary, and I was slumped in the hallway."

Mr. Sun was silent up to this point. Sheng Chuncheng looked at him and felt sad. He thought of the scene when he was at school and received a call from Chunni.He also didn't believe it, even though Chunni was crying on the phone, he still didn't believe it, his brain was buzzing, his whole body was numb, and he couldn't feel grief.

He felt that he was floating all the way from school to home, and there was always a voice telling him, impossible, impossible, Chuni was lying to him, she just wanted to deceive him to go home.

It wasn't until he arrived at the hospital in Qiandao Lake, in the simple mortuary of the hospital, that he saw his father lying on the concrete table embedded with white tiles, and then he woke up. Immediately afterwards, grief overwhelmed him.

"Other people saw me sitting on the ground and hurried over to ask me what's wrong. I told them that it's okay, it's not a big deal. Maybe it's because I didn't eat breakfast, I was hypoglycemic, and I was dizzy." Mr. Sun said, "They will send me to the hospital. Hospital, I said no, I'll go to the office to eat something and rest for a while.

"They helped me to the office. The secretary brought me bread and milk. I told him that I would lie down on the sofa for a while and don't come in to disturb me. He said yes. After he left, I got up and left. I went to the bathroom, closed the door, and started crying.

"For a person like me, all the itineraries need to be reported in advance. When you go to the local area, you have to contact the embassy. In that case, the country will know about my wife and daughter immediately, and I will hide it from the organization. The fact that I sent my daughter away secretly. Therefore, I didn’t even dare to go to take care of their funerals in the past, and my friend helped me take care of them.

"I was on the Internet and attended the farewell ceremony of my wife and daughter. They also stayed in Australia forever. I dare not bring their ashes back. You say, what kind of husband, what kind of father am I? Human Cowardice is far more powerful than people imagine. Before that, I always thought that I was a very courageous and daring person, but I was not.

"From the time they left until now, for more than five months, I have dreamed of them every night. I woke up laughing or crying. Whether I woke up laughing or crying, I got up, washed my face, went downstairs, went up After getting in the car, the driver took me to work, and every day, I was still the same as before, as if nothing had happened, but I knew that I was already a hollow person, empty day after day.”

Mr. Sun looked at Sheng Chuncheng and asked, "Xiao Sheng, do you know why I came here?"

Sheng Chuncheng shook his head.

"I have to make a decision," Mr. Sun said.

"What decision?" Sheng Chuncheng asked.

"I can't bear to end it all, really." Mr. Sun said, "Everyone is going to work on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and the Commission for Discipline Inspection is also going to work. I thought about going to them and honestly explaining my own affairs, but It's hard to decide."

"Why?" Sheng Chuncheng asked.

"In that case, too many people will be involved, and many of them are my friends and old leaders whom I have been very grateful to. Behind each of them is a family. You may not be able to imagine, if I If you do this, how many people will be unlucky, and how many families will be ruined, that's why I can't make up my mind."

Mr. Sun sighed and said:
"I know, Yu Gong, I should go to the Commission for Discipline Inspection, but Yu Yu, I really can't make up my mind. This is not a moral issue, nor a matter of principle, but a relationship issue. I can't just let myself feel at ease. So many families have been ruined, and although you can say that they are to blame for what they did, I just feel that I can't do it.

"Tell me, Xiao Sheng, am I hypocritical or hateful?"

Sheng Chuncheng shook his head, he felt that what Mr. Sun said was right, people are complicated, not black and white.Logically, or if Mr. Sun wasn't sitting so close to me, I should hate this corrupt official very much.If it was on the Internet, he would criticize such a population, and even leave a message, and he should be pulled out and shot.

But when they were face to face and he listened to him telling all this, Sheng Chuncheng felt that he didn't hate him at all, and even sympathized with him.Although he knew that he should hate him, just like he couldn't make up his mind, he couldn't hate him anyway.
