Chapter 714: Entrustment and Destiny
Li Zhiqian held her uncle's blood-stained hand tightly in her hand and pasted it on her face, hoping to warm her uncle's cold hand, she nodded again and again: "Uncle, I will definitely ...... I sure!"
Uncle Li looked at Qi Dongsi again, as if he had something to say, Qi Dongsi hurriedly said: "Uncle, if you hold on a little longer, I can save you." ”
"I ...... I can't live, I know very well that people like me are destined to end up like this, blind in one eye, in exchange for ten years of my life, it's worth it, hehe, by the way, I don't know what your name is. Perhaps he had anticipated his end and faced his impending death so calmly.
Qi Dongsi hurriedly replied, "My name is Qi Dongsi." ”
"Xiao Qi, don't mind if I call you that. Uncle Li opened his eyes slightly, and he called it so kindly.
Qi Dongsi nodded vigorously: "Yes." ”
"Xiao Qi, I know I'...... I can't do it anymore, the only thing I can't worry about is ...... My niece, I want you to ...... You can promise me one thing. Uncle Li looked at Qi Dongsi expectantly with weak eyes, and he hoped that the young man in front of him would be able to complete his concern.
"What's the matter, you say. ”
"My niece is not very sensible...... I'm so old and unmarried, I ...... I know Xiao Qi, you...... You have a good character and strong ability, and you will definitely be able to protect her, I ...... I hope...... I hope you can marry her, I don't know ......"
When Li Zhiqian heard this, she raised her head to look at her uncle, and then looked at Qi Dongsi's reaction, and she didn't know what to say.
Qi Dongsi didn't expect Uncle Li to entrust this matter, he hesitated, because he had said that he would not marry for life after Cai Xinyu left, and then he was still with Ouyang Lan, but now Ouyang Lan has also left him, although he is still alone, but he has long been downplayed about emotional matters and no longer has extravagant hopes.
He felt that he didn't have this life at all, and he couldn't afford to live up to the hearts of those good girls, and he was also afraid that other girls would suffer the same fate as Cai Xinyu Ouyang Lan when they were with him, so he would never agree, including Ji Linyuan, who had always been in his heart.
"Xiao Qi, can you ...... Can you agree?" Uncle Li's voice pulled Qi Dongsi back from his distant and chaotic thoughts.
"I ...... Uncle, I'm ......" Qi Dongsi lowered his head in embarrassment, glanced at Li Zhiqian, and confided his true thoughts: "She is a good girl, she should have her own choice when it comes to feelings, I can't ...... I can't say yes, but don't worry, I will take care of her like my sister and protect her for the rest of my life!"
Qi Dongsi found a better way to agree to Uncle Li's matter, and after speaking, he looked at Li Zhiqian.
Li Zhiqian looked at her uncle with teary eyes, holding his hand tightly, moving her lips and not speaking.
Uncle Li listened to Qi Dongsi's words, and his already weak eyes darkened again, but he also understood that feelings could not be forced, especially when it came to marriage, two children who had no emotional foundation, and it was unrealistic to suddenly let them get married, although he saw that his niece had a kind of admiration for Qi Dongsi.
But at least Qi Dongsi has agreed to take care of Li Zhiqian, let them cultivate their feelings slowly, as for the future destination, it depends on their own intentions.
Thinking of this, Uncle Li's eyes radiated light again, he stretched out his trembling left hand, pulled Qi Dongsi's hand, and the other right hand took Li Zhiqian's hand, pressed the hands of the two children tightly together, and gradually showed a smile on his face, "Good, good, good ......"
The scene that should have been romantic and warm is indeed so tragic and desolate at this moment, Qi Dongsi and Li Zhiqian looked at Uncle Li like a candle about to go out, they were extremely excited, Li Zhiqian cried into tears, although Qi Dongsi did not cry easily, but there were tears rolling in his eyes.
A cloud floated in the sky again, blocking the already faint sunlight, followed by a gust of cold wind, the sky changed instantly, and the light in Uncle Li's eyes gradually dimmed, until it finally went out, he left, followed this cloud with the hint of fate, came suddenly, and walked quietly.
The wind blew away, the daylight rekindled, everything seemed to be reborn quickly after the end, Qi Dongsi comforted the grief-stricken Li Zhiqian, at this time he understood Li Zhiqian's inner pain very well, because he had experienced this scene more than once, and he knew very well how painful such pain was.
"Let's go, take your uncle home. Qi Dongsi said softly.
Li Zhiqian pursed her lips and tried to control her tears, despite her grief, she still had to face the reality that bringing her uncle home was the only thing she could do for her uncle now.
After Qi Dongsi briefly treated Uncle Li's wound to stop the bleeding, he picked up Uncle Li and walked forward slowly, Li Zhiqian had forgotten the pain in her body, and followed Qi Dongsi to take her uncle's body home.
They kept moving eastward, carefully avoiding the dangers along the way, and after some time they climbed down a hill and finally left the range of the Fenghua Horse Field.
They saw a sign on the side of the road that said "Zhongming Road", this place was already five kilometers away from Fenghuadu Racecourse, and they could go home along this road.
Li Zhiqian's hometown is in a rural village in Jiangxia City, but Uncle Li has not been back to his hometown for a long time, he went out early, made his home all over the world, and occasionally went back to his hometown to see his brother and niece.
Li Zhiqian suddenly changed her mind, and she said to Qi Dongsi: "We won't go back to our hometown, let's go to Yunshan." ”
"Yunshan?" Qi Dongsi looked at Li Zhiqian, and didn't understand why he wanted to go to Yunshan, Yunshan is located at the junction of the provincial capital and the river, it is a deserted place, not many people know there, Qi Dongsi also went there unintentionally, the only feature there is that it is cloudy and mist, there is no human destruction, everything is the most real scene of nature.
Li Zhiqian nodded affirmatively: "Well, just go there, do you know where it is?"
"Yes. ”
Li Zhiqian stopped talking, she sat in the back of the car, taking care of her uncle's body, Qi Dongsi started the car, turned around and drove in the direction of Yunshan.
Yunshan is a little far away and a little off, few people go there, there are not many cars along the way, except for a short section of the road, the rest is basically all dirt roads, which is more familiar to Qi Dongsi, he can speed up without any scruples.
Although the road to Yunshan was relatively bumpy, they could lead all the way to the halfway point of Yunshan, so they came to the halfway point of the mountain and parked the car in a slightly flat place.
"Where are we going?" Qi Dongsi asked Li Zhiqian in the back seat after turning off the car.
Li Zhiqian pointed to the distance: "Do you see the pine tree in front of you, go there." ”
Qi Dongsi got out of the car, opened the door of the back seat, carried Uncle Li's body on his back, and walked under the pine tree. Li Zhiqian followed behind her, silent.
There is no way to get to that pine tree, only to step on a road by yourself, Qi Dongsi not only has to open up a road, but also to remove some exposed thorns for Li Zhiqian behind him, a kilometer of road is not easy to walk.
Coming to the pine tree, Qi Dongsi put down Uncle Li's body, and Li Zhiqian said, "Just bury my uncle here." ”
"What, bury it here?" Qi Dongsi was a little surprised, because in this era, burials are rarely seen, and it is a bit hasty to bury Uncle Li under the deserted pine tree in such a low-key manner.
"Yes, my uncle was a family all over the world, he liked to live in nature, he once told me that he wanted to be free after death, I thought he was just joking, I didn't expect ......" Li Zhiqian explained why she decided to bury her uncle here, but as she spoke, she choked up and cried again.
Qi Dongsi finally understood Li Zhiqian's intentions, this place just met Uncle Li's wishes before his death, quiet, free, beautiful, open, is there a more suitable place to go than here?
Qi Dongsi found some wood and sharpened it into a sharp arc blade with the dagger in his hand, using it as a digging tool, Li Zhiqian wanted to help, but was stopped by Qi Dongsi, "You look at your uncle, I can do it alone." ”
Qi Dongsi, who has a lot of survival skills in the wilderness, quickly made his own wooden shovel, found a good location, and began to dig.
Soon a pit was dug, and Qi Dongsi and Li Zhiqian carefully placed Uncle Li's body in the dug pit, and a pile of dirt stood next to it, blocking the sunlight, and the shadow leaned against Uncle Li's face.
Li Zhiqian watched her uncle lying cold and quietly in the pit, but the bits and pieces of the past kept coming to mind, every moment seemed to have never passed, so deep in the memory, and so stinging.
Uncle Li has never married, has no children under his knees, and treats his niece as his own, and loves him in every way, although as he grows up, there are not many opportunities to meet, but he often keeps in touch. Uncle Li travels all over the world, and even his family can't contact him, only Li Zhiqian is alone, he can be contacted at any time, every time Li Zhiqian is born, no matter where he is, he will rush back to celebrate his birthday, so in Li Zhiqian's life, Uncle Li plays the role of the second father.
Thinking that she would never see her uncle again in the future, never receive her uncle's birthday gift again, never have the opportunity to sit down with her uncle to drink tea and chat together, and lost her uncle's protection and care forever, Li Zhiqian blamed herself and regretted it, she felt that if she hadn't sent that distress message, her uncle wouldn't have done this, but it was too late, what was the use of regretting.
