Chapter 1306 (1/2)
Carol didn't mean to keep the vault, but after signing the contract with the death knell, things came one after another, and she forgot about the check.
Besides, she decided to go back to the army, and there was no place to spend money. She quickly went back to her room and took out the check and gave it to her mother.
Mary nodded with satisfaction. Having been a earthman for such a long time, she had realized the importance of money here, and her family was really short of money.
After the accident, Joe became a vegetable. He had been taking care of himself in the hospital, but because he couldn't afford the endless nursing expenses, he had to take care of himself at home.
Even so, he also needs to use the ventilator and ECG and other equipment at home, as well as supplies such as diapers, which also need money.
Freddie may winked, motioning that she would follow her upstairs to see what was going on, and that she would give the death knell check herself, on the one hand, to facilitate the transaction, and on the other hand, to track the cashing of the check.
Just didn't expect the death knell backhand gave Carol the check, and Frey's plan fell flat.
But marinated eggs are not disappointed. For him, he found two other superpowers, Carol and mariell, which is the biggest harvest.
He picked up the cup and looked at the orange cat on the tea table quietly. The cat didn't know why he was looking at him all the time, and licked his lips with his little tongue, as if he were very hungry?
The black man's one eye looked at it quietly, and the air became scorching...
the stairs of the house were very narrow and old. Several people walked on it, and it made a tartar creak.
On the wall beside the stairs, there are also some small people or plants with colored strokes. The strokes are very childish. It seems that Carol and his sister drew them when they were children.
Because there are two boys and a girl in the picture, a square body, long limbs, and a ball head, to catch fish or swing, now we can still see those happy memories.
Su Ming takes a look at may, who stealthily follows her behind her. Instead of saying anything, she looks at Carol, who is caught by Mary.
”Did you draw it before?”
Carol blushed a little, and she reached out to cover one of them, but with such childish paintings on both sides of the stairs, she couldn't cover them all.
Her reaction has already explained the problem, and there is no need to open your mouth, so Su Ming asked again:
”you scribbled on the wall, didn't your father blow your hips?”
Her long golden hair shook a few times. Carol recalled as she went upstairs. She shook her head: ”no, he didn't beat us because of this. I sometimes suspect that he likes art, because he often sits on the stairs with a bottle of wine and looks at our paintings in a daze. That's his rare quiet moment.”
Su Ming is amused. Carol's ability to tell jokes is too strong. She calls these indescribable graffiti art?
If this kind of thing appears in the cave, it will be knelt down by the evil cult, OK? People who don't know think the painting is ”anti Trinity”.
But behind these paintings is a sad fact, that is, maybe Carol's father, only when he looked at his children's graffiti, would he wake up from the imagination of the battlefield for a short time?
He should have loved them, and the reason why he kept beating them was not the reason Carol had guessed before.
Su Ming's view is that it was a father trying to drive his children away from the ”battlefield”, even though it was his imaginary battlefield.
Perhaps in his opinion, his three children who have no combat effectiveness appear in the battlefield and do not leave anyway. What can he do as a clumsy soldier? Of course, it's the military way to beat the children away and make them realize that they shouldn't be in the battlefield.
Unfortunately, only in his eyes is the battlefield. It is impossible for young children to leave home, so it becomes a dead circle.
The more he beat the children, the more embarrassing the atmosphere at home will be, which will make him nervous, thus the PTSD will become more serious, and he will be more anxious to drive the children away...
all this finally killed him.
However, the truth of the matter is unknown. The man is dead and his soul may have been recycled. Even if the death knell is no less than Batman's detective, all this can only be reasoning, is one of the greater possibilities.
He didn't say his reasoning, because there was no need, there were no people, and the story didn't matter.
”You have a good relationship with Joe?”
Su Ming digs the subject and tells Carol to keep up and stop blocking the paintings with her back.
After confirming that the death knell didn't laugh at herself, Carol shuffled up and walked carefully up the narrow stairs.
”Yes, because our three brothers and sisters are... Very lonely.”
She looked at Mary beside her. She had intended to say that when she was a child, the three of them seemed to have no parents, but she changed her mouth temporarily.
Carol has just learned about her mother's secret identity and understands her more or less. It is also a way to hide her identity and create an incompetent image at ordinary times. This is the price of pretending to be an ordinary human being.But... Mary's story reminds Carol that she can't stand the secret identity.
All this strengthened her determination not to be masked, and she wanted to be herself.
