Luo Wanqing, who was outside the house, obviously expected something, and did not go far, but sat quietly at the entrance, unable to stop crying in her eyes.

After a long time, Li Yan withdrew from the house.

Luo Wanqing wiped away her tears and looked at Li Yan, "Brother, how is my grandfather?"

Li Yan smiled, sat down, touched Luo Wanqing's head, and said against his will: "It's okay, let your grandfather rest first." ”

"Brother, you don't have to lie to me, I can guess grandpa's situation, and it must not be optimistic. Luo Wanqing lowered her head and said, but she didn't know what she was thinking.

Li Yan also stopped talking and looked up at the sky, there was not a single white cloud in the sky, gray, dull and sentimental.

When he was in the house, Luo Tingshun knew that his time was short, so he entrusted Luo Wanqing to Li Yan, although Li Yan wanted to refuse, but he couldn't find a reason to refuse.

In the face of an elder whose time was short, Li Yan knew that if he didn't agree, the old man's heart would be so lost and sad.

This is the old man's last wish, and it is also the last thing that can be done to find a reliable support for his granddaughter, Li Yan can't refuse, and he can't refuse.

After a long time, Li Yan said, "Wanqing, do you want to go in to see your grandfather and accompany your grandfather?"

Li Yan knew that Luo Wanqing was a smart girl, and she knew it all in her heart.

I don't know what to say, birth, old age, sickness and death are commonplace, but for Luo Wanqing, her grandfather is the only relative she can rely on, once her relatives are gone, Luo Wanqing will become a lonely person.

Luo Wanqing nodded, gently pushed open the door, and entered her grandfather's room.

Although Luo Tingshun was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, his hearing was unusually clear, and he could hear that it was his granddaughter who entered the house, and he suddenly opened his eyes.

"Girl, what are you doing?"

Luo Wanqing sat on the edge of her grandfather's bed and grabbed the old man's hand, "Grandpa, I just want to accompany you here, and I won't go anywhere." ”

Luo Tingshun looked at her granddaughter dotingly, "Silly girl, you have grown up, why are you still crying?"

"Grandpa can see that Li Yan is a very good child, if grandpa is not there in the future, there is Li Yan who can take care of you, and grandpa will be relieved. Luo Tingshun continued, his words were very slow and seemed a little difficult.

"Grandpa, you will definitely be fine, Wanqing will not go anywhere, just stay here with grandpa. Luo Wanqing's tears couldn't stop flowing, and she couldn't control the discomfort in her heart at all.

"Silly girl, don't cry," Luo Tingshun looked at his granddaughter with some distress, "People always have to die, grandpa is just at the age when he should go to the underworld to report, don't cry anymore, don't let grandpa go unsteadily." ”

Luo Tingshun knew that his granddaughter had endured too much suffering that should not be her age, as her grandfather, she was very incompetent, and for so many years, except for taking her to hide in Tibet, she had not had a good life.

"After Grandpa leaves, you can find a random place to bury Grandpa's ashes. In this life, Luo Tingshun has no face to let himself return to his roots, so he wants to let Luo Wanqing deal with his aftermath casually.

"Grandpa, why?" Luo Wanqing asked puzzled.

Luo Tingshun smiled bitterly: "In this life, grandpa has ruined his family for his own selfishness, how can he still have the face to bury his hometown, grandpa is not a faceless person." ”

Luo Tingshun's words sounded a little miserable, isn't this the final salvation of the dying man?

People live for a lifetime, plants and trees for an autumn, whether it is short or helpless, some things, after all, cannot be escaped, what should be faced, what should be repaid, what should be brushed away, and nothing can escape.

Not for cause and effect, not for fate, everything is a life that cannot be escaped.

"Girl, remember, don't think about avenging your grandfather, it's not worth it, don't give your life in vain, it's not necessary, what grandpa hopes most is that you can live a peaceful and happy life. ”

"Girl, did you hear clearly?" Luo Wanqing nodded vigorously on the side, tears like pearls falling on the futon, and a large piece of wetness.

"Absolutely don't think about avenging grandpa! Absolutely not!" Luo Tingshun seemed to shout this sentence in his last voice, his arm drooped, and he was directly silent.

"Grandpa, grandpa, grandpa!!" A hoarse voice shouted out from Luo Wanqing's mouth.

Li Yan pushed open the door and rushed in directly, only to see Luo Wanqing pounce on Luo Tingshun's body, crying hoarsely and heartbreaking!

Li Yan probed Luo Tingshun's pulse, which had stopped beating, and couldn't help sighing, tears wet his eyes.

Although he has only known Old Man Luo for half a year, he is comparable to an old friend for decades, Li Yan recalled the pleasure of drinking and chatting with the old man, and his heart became more and more panicked.

Two days ago, I was able to talk to the old man, but now my soul has returned to the netherworld, which is really a creation and trickery!

"Wanqing, your grandfather is gone. Li Yan said softly without sadness.

"No, Grandpa didn't go, he just fell asleep. Luo Wanqing cried stubbornly, "Grandpa loves me so much, why are you willing to leave me alone!"

Li Yan bent down and comforted softly: "Wanqing, grandpa doesn't want to see you in such pain now, no matter what, grandpa wants his granddaughter to be a strong girl." ”

"But I want my grandfather!" Luo Wanqing lay on Luo Tingshun's gradually cold body, crying loudly, unwilling to get up.

Li Yan knows how painful it is to lose a loved one, not to mention that his grandfather is Luo Wanqing's only relative in the world.

Li Yan silently accompanied Luo Wanqing's side, quietly waiting for Luo Wanqing to recover from her sadness.

I don't know how long it has been, and it has already darkened.

Luo Wanqing slowly turned around and looked at Li Yan with teary eyes, "Brother, what should I do in the future?" ”

Li Yan hugged Luo Wanqing into his arms distressedly, "Don't worry, there is a brother here." ”

"But what about grandpa's hatred?" Luo Wanqing suddenly hated, hating herself for being just a girl, except for crying, there was nothing else!

Li Yan looked coldly at the window lattice in front of him, thought of the old man he had seen before, and said slowly: "Don't worry, this revenge, no matter where we go to the ends of the earth, we will definitely take revenge." ”

-------

It took three days, and after the two of them simply dealt with Luo Tingshun's funeral, they locked this small courtyard, and Luo Wanqing held her grandfather's ashes and followed behind Li Yan.

"Brother, are you sure you want to send your grandfather's ashes back to your hometown?" Although Luo Wanqing's face was still full of sadness, her eyes were a little firmer.

Li Yan nodded and said: "No matter what, the soul returning to the homeland is the greatest expectation in the hearts of everyone who travels far away, not to mention, grandpa has been floating for half a lifetime since he left Syracuse, and he can't let his soul become a lonely ghost in a foreign land." ”

"Let's go, it's not too early. Luo Wanqing nodded.

The two took one last look at the courtyard behind them, and then simply turned around and left.

Without a car, it was really inconvenient to travel, so Li Yan went directly to the second-hand market and spent more than 10,000 yuan to buy an ordinary second-hand car, carrying Luo Wanqing, and galloping all the way to the north.
