Chapter 215: Why Isn't the One Who Died (2/4)
Maybe others don't understand Qin Zhiyuan and think that Qin Zhiyuan is a down-and-out old man, but Lao Zhuo understands and won't think so.
Qin Zhiyuan was much older than him, and he was Lao Zhuo's captain at the beginning. It's just that after coming back, Qin Zhiyuan gave up a bright career and chose to take on the families who died in the battle.
That's why there was that orphanage.
If Qin Zhiyuan could have told him at the beginning, the orphanage would not have been demolished.
It's just because of Qin Zhiyuan's temperament......
"Alas!" Zhuo Lao sighed and said: "Forget it, don't talk about it, it's all over, and we'll talk about it later!"
Qin Zhiyuan nodded, but his expression was not relaxed.
……
At noon, the sky began to rain lightly.
Although it was raining, the number of people who came did not decrease.
The burial at four o'clock in the afternoon was also scheduled as usual.
Yang Chen changed into the black suit that Ye Xin had prepared for him, and stood under the black umbrella that Zhang Shaoting was wearing, his face was heavy.
A few young men came up and prepared to carry the coffin.
Yang Chen thought for a while, walked over, and said to one of the thin boys: "You get up, I'll carry it!"
The boy looked at the injuries on Yang Chen's two arms, and wondered: "This ......"
They have seen and contacted people who want to carry the coffin of their loved ones before, but the person in front of them has injuries to both arms, how to carry it?
When Wei Xueqing saw this scene, she was also very moved in her heart, and came up and said, "Yang Chen, come back!"
Yang Chen shook his head slightly.
"Yang Chen, you really don't need this. Wei Xueqing shook her head and said, "My dad knows about him in the Heavenly Spirit." ”
Yang Chen still shook his head and said to Zhang Shaoting: "Help me lift it up and put it on my shoulder!"
"Brother Chen, this ......" Zhang Shaoting hesitated for a while, after all, Yang Chen was injured.
Yang Chen frowned and said, "My shoulder is fine, lift it up for me!"
"Hurry up!" Yang Chen scolded.
Zhang Shaoting was startled and hurried to carry the coffin.
Wei Xueqing wanted to go up to stop it, but was stopped by Ye Xin.
Ye Xin looked at Yang Chen deeply and said, "Don't worry, he is measured, this is his intention, don't stop him." ”
"But his wounds. Wei Xueqing's face was full of worry.
Ye Xin said softly: "As long as his shoulder is not injured, he can bear it." ”
Wei Xueqing was still a little worried.
But after seeing that the coffin was placed on Yang Chen's shoulder, and Yang Chen was still standing steadily, Wei Xueqing was a little relieved.
The coffin was raised, and Yang Chen took the lead and walked out.
The mourning hall is still some distance from the cemetery, and it takes about 20 minutes to walk.
Yang Chen refused the umbrella that Zhang Shaoting stretched out, and did not let him help him protect himself from the rain.
Originally, it was just a dripping drizzle, but now it is getting heavier and heavier.
When he walked to the grave, Yang Chen was already soaked, and the rain was running down his cheeks and falling from his chin.
Yang Chen was in a heavy mood.
The rain at this moment made Yang Chen feel Wei Qingzhong's mood.
He looked up at the sky, and the rain that kept dripping made it difficult for Yang Chen to open his eyes.
"Uncle Zhong!" Yang Chen said in a low voice: "Don't worry, although I am no longer her bodyguard, I am her friend and will continue to take care of her." ”
This is Yang Chen's promise to Wei Qingzhong.
The coffin was slowly buried, and the rain suddenly poured down.
This dry summer was suddenly brought a chill by this rain.
"Dad!" Wei Xueqing was touched by the heavy rain, perhaps because she saw that the soil had been buried in the coffin, and cried uncontrollably, "Dad, don't leave me, Dad! Why did you leave like this? What do you want me to do alone, Dad!"
Everyone was silent, only Wei Xueqing cried heartbreakingly.
If it weren't for Ye Xin pulling her, Wei Xueqing would probably have jumped into the grave.
The grave pit was filled with earth, raising a mound.
Several people bulldozed the mound of dirt, put stone slabs, and officially ended.
Everyone else had already left, but Wei Xueqing stood still in place.
Yang Chen stood with her and let everyone else go.
After a long time, Wei Xueqing said quietly: "Yang Chen, do you know? I would rather not meet you at this moment." ”
Yang Chen was stunned for a moment, and looked sideways at Wei Xueqing's pale little face.
"If I hadn't seen you, I don't think I would have been kidnapped, my father wouldn't have died, and Qian Hai wouldn't have betrayed me...... You say, is it all because of you?" said Wei Xueqing, with blank eyes.
Yang Chen was silent for a while.
He knew that Wei Xueqing's state was not right at the moment.
"Or, my dad shouldn't have sent me to the United States, so that I wouldn't be ignorant of the situation in China...... I won't ...... I don't know my dad well since I was a child! I finally understand my dad now, I know his suffering, his difficulties, but he just left!
Wei Xueqing couldn't control it anymore, and threw herself into Yang Chen's arms and cried bitterly.
Yang Chen took a deep breath and patted Wei Xueqing gently to show comfort.
"Why didn't I die! Why wasn't I! I was so unfilial, I was so ignorant, why didn't I die and let my father live! Yang Chen, why do you say this!" Wei Xueqing cried.
Yang Chen just stood like this, letting Wei Xueqing lean on, not moving at all, not saying anything.
He felt that the water on his body kept dripping, and he couldn't tell whether it was Wei Xueqing's tears or rain.
After a long time, Wei Xueqing stopped crying.
Yang Chen looked down at her and asked, "Are you okay with crying?"
Wei Xueqing was stunned for a moment, but still nodded slightly.
She knew that Yang Chen was not a person who would comfort people, although the words were not good, at least the heart was good.
Seeing Wei Xueqing nodding, Yang Chen said, "I can especially understand how you feel now. ”
Wei Xueqing raised her head and looked at Yang Chen, thinking in her heart: Is Yang Chen trying to comfort her?
Yang Chen looked at the cemetery in the distance and said slowly: "I was thinking about a question like you: why didn't I die!"
Wei Xueqing was stunned, could it be that Yang Chen also had such an experience.
"Do you remember the last time I took you to worship? Yang Chen said.
Wei Xueqing nodded, she remembered it very clearly, and she could even see the shaking of the maple leaves that day.
Yang Chen said: "That person is my instructor, and he died for me to block bullets." ”
"What?" Wei Xueqing exclaimed, looking at Yang Chen in disbelief.
"Because of a bad decision. A smile hung on the corner of Yang Chen's mouth, more self-deprecating, and he said slowly: "The instructor told me that I am his best soldier and the worst soldier, because I attach too much importance to feelings...... Too emotional...... It's always going to die too soon. During the battle, a comrade was shot, and I rushed to save him in desperation, but at that moment I was exposed to the enemy's sight. At that moment, all the team members were shooting frantically for me, covering me. But it also disrupted our plans, and while I was saving someone, my instructor blocked a shot for me and saved me. ”
Wei Xueqing finally understood why Yang Chen said that he could understand her.
It turns out that he still has such an experience!
