"Do you know Academician Gu?"

Lian Ge took out his mobile phone, held it, turned his eyes to look at the man, and said in a calm tone,

"Academician Gu ......"

The man was a little puzzled at first, turned his head, looked at Lian Ge, repeated the sentence, and then seemed to react again,

“...... You mean Academician Gu, that Academician Gu of Concord?"

Looking at the mobile phone that Lian Ge was holding, he vaguely guessed, the man became a little excited, looked at Lian Ge a little nervously, and asked out loud.

Lian Ge looked at the man and nodded,

"I'm his student, I'll give you a call, you can contact him at your time. Let's just say that I gave you the phone, and my name is Lian Ge. ”

With a calm tone, Lian Ge pressed the phone, opened the address book, and found Gu Hanguo's phone,

“...... Thank you, thank you......"

It's like grabbing a life-saving straw, the man didn't doubt it, while grateful, talking over and over again, his hand trembled slightly, and he was a little flustered and touched his mobile phone in his pocket,

The phone fell to the ground, and the man hurriedly picked it up again,

“...... Please read the number......"

The man bent down, holding his phone, a little nervous, and spoke again.

......

“...... Thank you, thank you for ......"

gave Gu Hanguo's phone to the man, and Lian Ge put away the phone.

The man bent down and said gratefully to Lian Ge over and over again,

“...... Mr. Lian, after going down the mountain for a while, don't leave yet, I'll invite you to dinner. ”

"You don't need to eat. Take your daughter back to the hospital. ”

Lian Ge looked at the little girl who was still squatting in front of the tombstone, talking to her mother, shook her head slightly, turned her gaze, and then looked at the distance below the mountain,

“...... That...... Mr. Lian, this is my phone number, when you come to us again, you must call me, I thank you very much. ”

Turning around, the man looked at his daughter, nodded, and then stretched out his hand, took out a business card from his pocket, and handed it to Lian Ge with both hands.

Glancing at the man, he reached out and took the business card and put it in his pocket, Lian Ge nodded and didn't say anything more.

......

“...... Say goodbye to this brother and say thank you, brother......"

“...... Goodbye brother, thank you brother. ”

Looking at the little girl waving at him again, and the grateful man,

Smiling slightly at the little girl, Lian Ge turned around and walked down the mountain.

Behind her, the little girl and her father drifted apart, and the voices of the little girl and her father faded away.

“...... Tongtong will have surgery in two days...... The doctor said that the success rate of her surgery was not high...... Fortunately, fortunately, Tong Tong came out today and met a nobleman...... Academician Gu operated on Tongtong, Tongtong must be fine, he must be fine......"

“...... I know you're going to bless Kirito...... After Tongtong's surgery, I'll bring her over to see you......"

“...... Dad, what did you tell Mom?"

“...... It's a secret for mom and dad ......"

“...... Oh...... Daddy, are you crying? ”

“...... No, Daddy is just happy......"

Listening to the words behind him, as the breeze faded away, Lian Ge walked along the road down the mountain towards the foot of the mountain.

......

Walking down the foot of the mountain, Lian Ge moved his steps, sweeping through the streets, shops, and pedestrians all the way.

Watch, listen, walk.

Along the way, looking at all kinds of pedestrians, happy or sad, sad or happy, listening to the mixed voices,

Lian Ge walked into the city again.

Before walking through the square, Lian Ge stopped, and randomly found a wooden bench by the square and sat down.

Looking at the bustling pedestrians walking through the square, listening to the words of the passing pedestrians and some vendors,

From morning, to noon, from noon to afternoon,

Lian Ge watched and listened,

The little mouse on his shoulder also lay down, quiet, looking at Lian Ge from time to time, and from time to time looking at the snacks on the stall not far away, but he never made a sound.

On the square, the number of pedestrians passing by has gradually decreased to increasing, and from gradually more to decreasing.

The sun in the sky overhead, rising from the rising sun, turned into the setting sun and slanted towards the west.

“...... Young man, I see you've been here for so long, what are you looking at? ”

The sunset elongated the shadow of the pedestrians in the square, and the square gradually became more and more, an old man with a broom, carrying a dustpan, and cleaning a few fallen leaves in front of his stall happened to pass by Lian Ge, looked at the direction Lian Ge was looking, looked at Lian Ge again, and asked out loud,

Hearing this, Lian Ge turned his gaze, looked at the bustling pedestrians in the square again, and smiled slightly,

"Look at this world. ”

After saying that, Lian Ge felt the mana in his body, sat for a day, and realized that his mana had improved a lot.

"The world, ......"

The old man straightened his hip up, looked into the distance with a somewhat cloudy gaze, muttered, and his eyes fell into a trance,

Turning around, the old man carried a broom, pinched a basket, and walked further.

The smile on Lian Ge's face gradually faded again, turned his gaze, and then looked at the bustling pedestrians on the square,

......

“...... Buzz, buzz, buzz......"

At this moment, the mobile phone in Lian Ge's pocket rang again,

Touching out the mobile phone and looking at the caller ID, Lian Ge smiled slightly and connected the video call,

“...... Lian Ge, I was ordered by your master to ask if you had eaten on time. ”

On the other end of the video call, in the living room,

Gu Xiaoying, Gu Hanguo, and Gu Mu are all there,

Gu Hanguo sat next to him, making a cup of tea on the table, helping to fold the dishes,

Gu's mother was untying the plastic bag on the table, and took some vegetables out of the bag.

Gu Xiaoying held the mobile phone, looked at the other end of the phone, and said loudly,

“...... What nonsense. ”

Gu's mother took out the cabbage in the bag, put it in a basket, turned her head, and said to Gu Xiaoying angrily,

Turning his head again, he looked at the video phone,

“...... Xiaoge, are you still outside, it's almost evening over there, have you found a place to stay tonight?"

Looking at the busy Gu Xiaoying family on the other end of the video call, Lian Ge smiled slightly,

"Just go and find a random hotel to stay in for a while. ”

On the other end of the video call, Gu's mother nodded, smiled again, and said loudly,

“...... Xiaoge, it's Laba Festival today. At this time, the family is preparing to sit for some Laba rice, why don't you find a shop for a while, eat some Laba rice, and celebrate the festival. ”

It's Laba......

Hearing the sound, Lian Ge turned his gaze, and then looked at the bustling pedestrians on the square,

"Got it, Master. ”

Lian Ge turned his gaze back and answered.

“...... Lian Ge, you seem to be in a bit of a low mood. ”

On the other end of the phone, Gu Xiaoying looked at Lian Ge and said loudly.

“...... Xiaoge, has something happened to you?"

Gu Hanguo, who was folding vegetables next to him, looked at the end of the video phone and asked,

"It's something that happens. ”

Lian Ge looked at the other end of the video call and nodded slightly,

"Before, on the bus, I met a little girl......"

The words sounded, and Lian Ge briefly recounted the little girl's affairs.

......

“...... I studied medicine for half my life and spent half my life in the hospital...... I have seen a lot of birth, old age, sickness and death in the hospital, and I have encountered children...... It's still extremely uncomfortable. ”

On the other end of the video call, after listening, Gu Xiaoying's family was silent for a while, Gu Hanguo raised his head, shook his head, and said out loud,

"Can you still contact that father and daughter again, I'll go over and see. ”

"I gave him your phone number, teacher. ”

Hearing this, Lian Ge smiled slightly and said out loud,

"Then when they call, I'll come and have a look. ”

Gu Hanguo nodded, answered, and didn't say anything more.
