v2 Chapter 373： I'm going to die, Matthew

Wendy's mother was awakened by the knock, and she saw Wendy standing in front of her window holding the key.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

However, she couldn't care about educating her daughter at the moment. When she heard the knock on the door downstairs, she immediately got dressed and rushed down to open the door. She actually saw the dream outside the door. Figure.

Twenty-one days have passed since Matthew's disappearance, and some bad thoughts have inevitably occurred in her heart. Now when she sees her husband returning in peace, tears flow from her eyes instantly.

She flew into Matthew's arms.

But then a voice sounded from her ear.

"Will you introduce us, Matthew."

Wendy's mother looked up and saw an old man with a humpback and three burly men standing behind Matthew. If the bar owner was here, he would probably recognize that one of them had given him wine yesterday afternoon. Coachman.

The old man took off the hat above his head and saluted her, "Don't worry, Madam, we are all Matthew's friends."

Wendy's mother looked at her husband.

The latter nodded, "Jane, this is Cook, Cook, this is Jane, my wife."

Jane was relieved, and stretched out her hand with a smile. "Forgive me for being a bit nervous during this time. Cook hasn't been home for a long time. Wendy followed a Oriental man who didn't know where it came from. Then, There was a message outside saying that a band of robbers were planning to come to the town to plunder, etc ... I remember that the chiefs of the gangs also called Cook. "

"There are always many coincidences in this world, ma'am." The old man kissed the back of her hand, "I hope I didn't disturb you, seeing you is like seeing my daughter, you are all so kind and pure It's a pity she doesn't have your blessing. "

"You are too polite, why do you say that?"

"Oh, something happened to her, terrible things, but it's all gone, it's not a good idea." The old man said to the three behind him, "You stay here."

The three nodded.

Then the humpbacked man and Matthew walked into the room together. He saw Wendy walking down the stairs and laughed, "Look at this lovely little girl, she is your daughter. Matthew mentioned to me Many times, you're called Wendy, right? "The old man said as he touched his pocket, and finally took out a gold bar from the inside." I'm sorry I was in a hurry on the road. I didn't have time to buy candy, so Use this thing instead. "

"What a pity, this gift is too expensive." Jane shied away quickly.

"It's nothing, just a little care of me. Good people like you deserve such a gift, just treat it as a gift of fate."

When Wendy took the gold bar from the humpbacked man, Matthew said, "Jane, get something to eat, neither Cook nor I have dinner."

"Okay, I remember baking cookies in the morning."

"Very well, make two more cups of tea," Matthew said, looking at Wendy again. "You go too, help your mother."

Wendy glanced at his father, looked at Cook a little suspiciously, and finally followed his mother.

When the two of them left, the old man humpbacked, "The child's eyes are quite like yours. When I first saw you, you were the same, with a little stubbornness in your vigilance ..."

"Don't go around Cook, aren't we saying that we're just going to inquire about the truth in the town, why did you come to my house?" Matthew interrupted him directly.

"Oh, you don't need to worry about me to inquire about the real things. Morris had already inquired about the things that should be inquired yesterday." The old man humpbacked, "I asked him to inquire at that time."

"What exactly do you want?"

"Nothing, just a little curious about your life over the years."

Cook tilted his feet to the table in front of him. "I have always regarded you as my son, and I want to know how you are doing after we are separated."

"You can ask me directly." Matthew said, sullen.

"Yeah, but by contrast I like to see it with my own eyes." The old man humpback smiled, "I'm sorry to interrupt your life, really, I hope we can come a little bit, start with daily greetings, I Tell you what I have done over the years, tell me how your days are ... "

"I don't need to tell me. I know what you've done over the years. There's never been less news about you in the newspaper."

"Well ... have to admit it, I'm really welcomed by those reporters, as long as I'm still there they will never be unemployed." The old humpback shrugged.

"Those things you did are not funny, you and your men poured out to burn and plunder, no matter the rich or the poor, the elderly or the children, you will not let go, you set fire to the church, the slaughter is still rampant Baby ... "Matthew coldly ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Fear is a power, you must learn and get used to using him. I am a robber and not a priest. Do I have to do good deeds and listen to the sufferings of everyone? "

The old man with a humpback paused, "Hell, I thought you would become more mature in the years after going through that, but in the end you are no different from the past. Well, that ’s the end of the gossip. It's better to get on the topic. I know you've heard a lot of news about me in these years, but the next thing I want to tell you is that those news reports do not have. No, it should be said that even Cook's gang has a lot do not know."

"Do you have anything else to do?"

"It has nothing to do with that," the old humpback looked into Matthew's eyes. "I'm going to die, Matthew."

"After you have done so many bad things, do you think you will get any good end?"

"No, that's not what it meant." Cook waved his hand. "I said I was dying referring to my physical condition. There wasn't much time left for me. I can feel it. This is when I come back to you The real reason. "

Matthew heard his words silent, "How do you know you're dying?"

"This is my body. Of course I know when that day will come." The old man humpbacked. "I have seen the face of the **** of death. He has blue eyes, just like Mary. I am not afraid of death, but I do have a few things to do before I die, the most important of which is to help Cook find a new owner. "

"You want me to take over from Cook and become the next you?"

"Why not, believe me, you will like this feeling of freedom. You are just trapped by trivial matters and false happiness. Tonight I came to your house to loosen you. Yes, unlock your tragic cycle, my child. "
