Chapter Ninety-Five: Dying
Old man Xu's house.
Following the villagers, Lian Ge quietly stepped into the living room of Old Man Xu's house.
In the living room, there were already many people gathered at the moment, but no one spoke, keeping it unusually quiet.
The crowd sat on the sofas on either side or paced around the living room, occasionally looking to the bedroom next to the living room.
After glancing at the living room, Lian Ge continued to quietly step into the bedroom, and behind him, the official officials of the prefecture naturally followed.
Then, the picture in the bedroom is clearly presented in front of you.
Old Man Xu, who was still in spirit before, had regained his weakness, leaning on the pillow, half-lying on the bed, and weakly holding his eyelids.
"Old man, Xiaocheng and Xiaomei of the old grandson family came to see you. ”
The people from the village who had just come stood beside Old Man Xu's bed, and they had been taking care of the old man's care, and said in the old man's ear.
Hearing the sound, Old Man Xu's cloudy eyes moved, and he nodded towards the person next to the bed.
"Is it Xiaocheng...... How's your dad doing?"
"It's good, it's all good. ”
"Some time ago, I heard that you were arguing with your father......" Old Man Xu leaned on the pillow, reluctantly turned his head, and said a little weakly,
"If it's not a matter of principle, let your dad do more, your dad is not young anymore, and it will not be easy for him in this life...... Of course, if he has any feudal thoughts, then I support you, just say that I said it. ”
"I see, old man, I know......"
"That's good, that's good...... Xiaomei, you're about to graduate this year...... cough cough ......" Old Man Xu turned his head again and looked at the other person,
"That's right, old man, you have a good memory. ”
“...... Xiaomei, you have a high degree of education, you know a lot, and you are also a young man, I hope that you can give more advice to the village in the future...... It is not okay for the village to be like this all the time, the society is changing, and the village is ...... The village has to change with ......," Old Man Xu said with difficulty.
"Yes, old man, I will. ”
"That's good...... Okay, I'm tired and want to rest, so let's get out. Old Man Xu became weaker and weaker, and every time he spoke, it seemed like he needed to use all his strength.
"That'...... We'll come in and see you later, old man. ”
"Good, good ......"
......
When the villagers left the bedroom, it was quiet again.
Lian Ge, who had been standing on the side and watching quietly, stepped forward and walked to the side of Old Man Xu's bed.
Although under the influence of the spell, Old Man Xu subconsciously ignored the existence of Lian Ge, but when Lian Ge stood in front of him at this moment, blocking his sight, he still noticed Lian Ge,
At the same time, he also vaguely saw a digital ghost in a black suit behind Lian Ge,
And beside him, the caretaker who has been taking care of him is still unaware.
Glancing at Old Man Xu, Lian Ge didn't say anything, turned sideways, and motioned to the person in charge of the Nandu region of the immigration department of the prefecture behind him to communicate with Old Man Xu.
"Sir, you have less than half an hour to go, if you have anything to explain, hurry up and explain. The person in charge of the Nandu region instantly understood, stepped forward and said to Old Man Xu.
Hearing this, Old Man Xu reacted, and then turned his cloudy gaze to look at the caretaker next to him.
The caretaker who had been paying attention to the old man noticed the change and came to the front of the old man Xu.
"Old man, what do you want to say?" Putting his ear to Old Man Xu's mouth, the caretaker asked again,
"Help me put ...... Xiao Chen, old ......"
"Old man, you want me to call the village chief and them in, right?" the caretaker quickly asked,
"Right...... Fast. The old man nodded reluctantly and with difficulty, and said with difficulty.
"Okay, I'll call ...... right away"
After receiving an affirmative answer, the caretaker quickly rushed out of the bedroom and into the living room.
On the side, Lian Ge glanced at the caretaker who went to the living room to call someone, nodded at Old Man Xu again, and then took a few steps back and retreated to the side of the bedroom.
Soon, the caretaker who went to call for someone returned to the bedroom with a few people.
One of the middle-aged men crouched down by the head of the bed, and the others also walked to the bedside.
"Old man, do you have anything you want to tell me?" asked the middle-aged man, squatting beside the bed.
"Xiao Chen, less than ......" Old Man Xu looked at the few people in front of him, panting, and said laboriously, and at the same time stretched out his trembling hand towards several people,
"Eh, old man, I'm here, we're all here," the rest of the middle-aged people also squatted down, held the old man's hand, and hurriedly responded,
"I'm running out of time......"
"Old man, don't say that, don't say that......" The middle-aged man squatting by the head of the bed had his eyes a little red instantly.
Hearing this, Old Man Xu shook his head with difficulty, and then continued:
"There are some things that I still can't worry about...... I want to tell you about ......."
"Say, old man, let's all listen. Holding Old Man Xu's hand, one of the middle-aged middle-aged people nodded in response.
“...... Unity, you... And the village, it must be united. Old Man Xu rolled his cloudy eyes, looked at the few people squatting beside the bed, and used all his strength to clench the palm of his successor.
"We know, old man, that we must be united. ”
"And ......" Old Man Xu turned his head, looked at the roof above his head and continued to say laboriously,
"It's not okay for the village to be like this now, and just pointing to a road to eat is going to be a problem...... We need to find a new way...... If you think of a way, you must find a way to ......"
Old Man Xu struggled and said word by word,
"We know, we know, old man, you rest and talk, rest and then continue. Several people's eyes became redder, and they held Old Man Xu's hand tightly, and replied with grief.
"It's too late...... No time. ”
Old Man Xu shook his head, then looked at his successor,
"My life is at the end of my life, and next, the village ...... I'll leave it to you......"
As he spoke, Old Man Xu's voice became weaker and weaker, and the hand holding his successor gradually lost his last strength.
"Old man, old man, ......"
Immediately after, a cry of grief rang out in the bedroom.
Everyone in the living room heard the sound and instantly rushed into the bedroom.
For a while, the cries of sorrow and cries mingled and clamoured in the bedroom.
......
At the edge of the bedroom, Lian Ge glanced at the growing number of people in the room, and turned his gaze to Old Man Xu on the bed.
At this moment, the spell on Old Man Xu's body has lost its effect, and the soul that was forcibly imprisoned in his body is gradually leaving his body.
After a very short period of time,
Beside the body that was gradually losing its temperature, Old Man Xu's soul got up again.
Perhaps because of his great yin virtue and great merit, after the old man Xu died, his soul did not enter the period of chaos.
He stood on the edge of the bed, looked at his body, and then at the people in the bedroom who were crying bitterly, sighed slightly, and turned around and walked towards Lian Ge.
"Honest ......"
Hearing this, Lian Ge nodded, but did not respond, and turned around and walked towards the outside of the bedroom.
Seeing this, Old Man Xu immediately followed up with understanding.
......
After a while, outside the door of Old Man Xu's house.
Lian Ge paused again, turned around, and looked at Old Man Xu and several prefectural government officials who were following behind him,
"Old Mr. Xu, aren't you going to take another look?" Lian Ge glanced at the brightly lit Old Man Xu's house, turned his head to look at Old Man Xu and said.
"No," Old Man Xu glanced at Lian Ge's line of sight, shook his head, and withdrew his gaze, "What should be explained has already been explained, and the future depends on them." ”
Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at Old Man Xu and nodded.
