Knocked to the election boss today

Chapter 171 With my sister here, don't be afraid (3)

The night is cool and the wind is blowing.

There were hurried footsteps in the corridor.

The rhythm of "da da" is like a hammer on the heart, bringing out a sense of heaviness.

Qiao Yuan and Third Sister raised their heads almost at the same time, and the thin figure of the woman came hurriedly.

"Sister." Qiao Yuan stood up, as if he had found a backbone, and staggered over.

"Sister, Grandma Chang is gone." His eyes were red and his voice was choked up.

There is a saying that a man does not flick his tears lightly, but he has not reached the point of sadness.

Qiao Luo glanced at him lightly, raised his hand and touched his head, "I know, wait for me here."

The cold voice softened a bit, gradually calming Qiao Yuan's emotions.

He raised his hand to wipe away his tears, nodding his head heavily.

The third sister helped to open the door and looked at Qiao Luo worriedly, "Grandma Chang is inside."

Qiao Luo stepped forward and walked in with a calm expression.

In the empty ward, there was only one bed.

A large piece of white cloth, dazzlingly white.

Qiao Luo faltered, and curled up his hands hanging by his sides slightly.

After a while, she stepped forward again.

When she reached the hospital bed, she stopped and stretched out her hand to pull away a corner of the white cloth.

The old man's serene face came into her sight, his closed eyes, and his pale lips hit Qiao Luo's heart one after another.

She clenched the white cloth tightly, the corners of her eyes were red, and she couldn't move any further.

"Grandma Chang." She called softly in a hoarse voice.

This time, I can't wait for the kindly smiling face of the old man in the past.

Only the cold air responded to her.

Qiao Luo put down the white cloth and stretched out his hand towards Granny Chang's face, the coldness seemed to spread from his fingertips to the bottom of his heart.

She pulled her lips and forced a faint smile, "Grandma Chang, why did you fall asleep here, shall I take you back?"

After the words fell, a suffocating silence struck.

Qiao Luo leaned over and lay on Granny Chang's body.

She held Grandma Chang's hand, her shoulders trembling slightly.

At the door, Third Sister couldn't bear to look back, and turned to look out the window.

Tonight is bound to be a sleepless night.

After she calmed down, she suddenly remembered something, and turned to look at Qiao Yuan, "Qiao Yuan, why did Xiyun Pavilion suddenly catch fire?"

Granny Chang is not a careless person, there must be something tricky about it.

"I don't know, I was woken up by a puff of smoke when I was half asleep." Qiao Yuan said in a daze.

"Then I went to look for her in Granny Chang's room, and she fell to the ground. Later, I carried Granny Chang downstairs on my back, but I couldn't find the key to the glass door of the shop."

The third sister grasped the point of his words, and frowned, "You said you can't find the key in the store?"

Qiao Yuan nodded, "The key is usually placed on the counter. I locked the door last night. I remember it very clearly. The key was placed on the counter."

Hearing this, the third sister felt that something was wrong, "Is there something cooking in the kitchen? Did you forget to turn off the fire?"

"Impossible. Granny Chang will check the kitchen every day when she goes to her room to rest, and we went to rest very early, so there is no need to cook supper." Qiao Yuan said firmly.

The West Cloud Pavilion was on fire, but the key disappeared, which was too much of a coincidence.

The third sister furrowed her brows, and calmly stroked her train of thought.

At this time, Qiao Luo came out from inside.

Her expression was calm, her eyes were calm, and she couldn't figure out her emotions at all.

"Sister." Qiao Yuan shouted hoarsely.

Qiao Luo nodded, "Let's go."

Qiao Yuan looked into the ward, feeling very reluctant, "But Granny Chang..."

"I'll take care of the affairs of Grandma Chang, let's go back first," Qiao Luo said.

Some things had to be dealt with now, she couldn't let Granny Chang lose her life indiscriminately.

Meeting her quiet eyes, Qiao Yuan nodded slightly.

The third sister glanced at Qiao Luo, knowing that she must have heard the conversation between her and Qiao Yuan.

She said softly, "Where are you going, I'll take you off, so don't drive."

Qiao Luo said nothing, just nodded.

The group of three left and left the hospital, and the third sister was in charge of driving.

Sitting in the car, Qiao Luo took out his mobile phone, quickly edited a message with his fingertips and sent it out.

"Sister, Granny Chang..." Qiao Yuan looked at her, hesitating to speak.

Knowing what he wanted to say, Qiao Luo put away the phone and said in a low voice, "We will send Granny Chang's ashes back to her hometown tomorrow and bury her with her husband."

Granny Chang always said that people should return to their roots, so she thought she would agree with her approach.

Qiao Yuan nodded, his nose couldn't help panting.

He turned his head and looked out the window, holding back his tears.

Granny Chang, I won't stay in bed anymore, can you come back?

Xiyun Pavilion was burned down, so naturally they couldn't go back, but fortunately, Qiao Luo bought an apartment not long ago.

I thought it would be convenient for Qiao Yuan to live in college in the future, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now.

When we arrived at the apartment, it was already past two o'clock in the middle of the night.

Qiao Yuan was in a mess, and Qiao Luo asked him to wash up first.

The third sister handed her a bottle of mineral water, and said in a warm voice, "Qiao Luo, it's not easy to catch fire in Xiyun Pavilion. Have you thought of who did it?"

Qiao Luo reached out to take it, unscrewed the cap, and took a few gulps with his head raised.

The cold water slid down the throat, relieving the dryness.

She shook her head lightly, looked up at the third sister, "do me a favor."

The third sister nodded, "Speak."

There is no need to say much about the friendship between them.

"Help me adjust the monitoring around Xiyun Pavilion, especially around the floor-to-ceiling windows and rear windows."

Qiao Yuan couldn't find the key. It is impossible for the key to disappear, it can only mean that it was taken away by someone.

However, the door of Xiyun Pavilion is closed, and there is no other way to enter Xiyun Pavilion except climbing through the window.

The third sister said, "I'll do it now."

If someone deliberately planned this matter, then we can't wait to adjust the monitoring. It would be bad if someone destroys the monitoring in advance.

Qiao Luo hummed, and the third sister turned and left.

The door closed, and Qiao Luo got up and walked to the window.

She opened the curtains and looked up at the dark night sky.

It's foggy, with no end in sight.

"Drink some ginger tea to drive away the cold."

"The weather is cold, so we need to wear more clothes."

"The pair of mandarin ducks are embroidered for you."

Granny Chang's voice was vaguely still in my ears, and Qiao Luo looked at the thick ink-like sky, with a hint of loneliness and grief in his eyes.

At this time, a phone call came in.

Qiao Luo took out his mobile phone and swiped to answer it.

"Everything will be taken care of for you, do you need to prepare the air ticket for you?" A woman's voice rang on the phone.

Qiao Luo hummed, "The first flight."

"Understood." The person on the other end of the phone paused, and his voice lowered a little, "Sorry, just tell me if you need help."

Qiao Luo hummed, "Thanks."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Yuan just came out after washing up.

His face was washed clean, and his eyes were red from crying. He probably cried again in the bathroom just now.

He walked up to Qiao Luo barefoot, "Sister, are you okay?"

Jolo shook his head.

"Sister, there are only two of us left." Qiao Yuan lowered his head and said in a muffled voice.

Qiao Luo looked at him sideways, and said in a warm voice, "Are you afraid?"

Qiao Yuan shook his head without hesitation, "Your sister is here, don't be afraid."

In this life, he will follow his sister wherever she is.
