Chapter 229: Still Time

On Saturday morning, Lin Yu appeared at the Yangcheng train station, and with him was the man with guilt on his face.

The man told Lin Yu that the old lady did not live in Yangcheng, but in a fourth-tier city more than 500 kilometers away from Yangcheng. The old man hoped that his son would be able to return home soon, so he did not hesitate to tell the kidnappers his home address.

The man said that he had talked to the old man on the phone many times, at first asking her to raise money as soon as possible, but later the two of them talked about some things other than kidnapping, such as when her son was young, and her wife died of illness a few years ago.

The man fully believed that the old man had regarded himself as her son, so he would talk about so many topics that would only be talked about between family members, but the old man's slow behavior made him very annoyed, and it took a whole week just to go to the bank to withdraw cash, and he also called the man many times for help.

If it weren't for the fact that she really had 300,000 on her account, the man wouldn't be willing to take such a big risk and keep talking to the person being defrauded. Eventually, even the man began to wonder if the old man was really worried about his son. Because he couldn't hear the old man's anxious tone on the phone, he would even talk to himself intentionally or unintentionally.

The man thought that the old man might be a little delirious, so he had to scream on the phone again, shouting Mom while telling her to take the money over and redeem herself as soon as possible.

The old man finally appeared, and as agreed on the phone, she did not report the case to the police, but stood at the handover site very punctually. When the man took the bag from the old man's hand, he unexpectedly did not see any hatred in her eyes.

Therefore, the man will feel even more guilty, he feels that before he appears, the old man must have lived in a very pure world. There is no such thing as fraud in her life, and the people around her are kind and friendly, which is why she is so easily fooled by herself, even in the face of kidnappers, she can't hate it.

More than 500 kilometers, it only takes two hours to take the high-speed train, Lin Yu looked at the mountains and fields outside through the car window, and his face was a little stunned. The man stood in the aisle with his hands in his hands, and his presence or absence had no effect on the other passengers, some of the passengers holding instant noodles with their arms directly across his body, and some of the attendants pushing the dining car through the middle of his body.

The man who had just died was not very accustomed to this situation at first, he would dodge awkwardly left and right in the aisle, and finally realized that it made no difference whether he gave way or not, so he showed an awkward smile at the Grim Reaper.

Lin Yu watched the man's every move with cold eyes, he found that there was a discordant contrast between the man's ruffian and his behavior, if he saw such a man with a little fierce appearance in real life, he would not have thought that he would be so busy because he stood in the aisle to make way.

So as the old saying goes, when a person is about to die, is his words also good? Death will inspire the goodness in a person's nature, he hopes that the things he will leave in this world are good, and he hopes to be able to make up for the wrong things he has done in his life?

Lin Yu remembered a very classic martial arts "The Condor Heroes", in which there is a story about Qiu Qianren who wanted to ask for Aunt Ying's forgiveness before he died. When Lin Yu was a child, he still couldn't understand why he didn't care if others forgave him if he was going to die, anyway, he would eventually die.

But after becoming a god of death, Lin Yu has become more and more able to understand such a state of mind, and it is precisely because he is about to die that he will be more obsessed with the mistakes he made. Pleasant things are always forgotten quickly, but the regrets in life will always be engraved in the heart, and this regret will be magnified several times when it is close to death, and there will be so many souls who wander in the world and refuse to leave. They all have things in their hearts that are difficult to let go, which has become their last obsession, just like Qiu Qianren's last breath hung for three days, and only after obtaining Aunt Ying's forgiveness was able to return to heaven.

If a man is still alive now, he may not feel so guilty about the old man, he may choose a remote place to hide, rely on the old man's money to support his wife and children, and never want to get in touch with the old man again for the rest of his life.

But death soon changed the man's temperament, he had no worries about life and entangled debts, and he was soon going to leave the world and go to another world, the guilt in the man's heart was magnified, and he only cared about the wrong thing he had done, so he wanted to see the old man and atone for his sins in front of her.

Two hours later, Lin Yu walked out of the train station with the man, and they took another bus in the square to the county where the old man was.

Fortunately, the man still remembers the address of the old man clearly, and by searching on his phone, he was able to easily find detailed directions.

It's a hilly area, and the bus winds along the road at the foot of the mountain, occasionally passing through a pothole, leaving everyone in the bus swaying along with it.

Surrounded by green trees and green mountains, there are fields full of rape flowers, this is a quiet and beautiful small county town, Lin Yu can't help but think of his hometown, this season, I don't know if the rape fields planted at home have bloomed?

The bus drove for more than an hour before stopping at the bus station in the county seat, Lin Yu took a taxi to the area where the old man lived, which were full of old residential buildings, and the narrow alleys could not let the car pass, so Lin Yu had to get out of the car and look forward while asking for directions.

It can be seen that the houses are very old, most of the facades are mottled and blackened, and some of the residential buildings are even made of wood. There was a babbling stream beside the alley, which was always flowing tirelessly, and occasionally the old people were seen sitting under the eaves of their houses quietly looking ahead, their expressions were calm, and they remained motionless for a long time, and everything seemed to slow down because of this, and time seemed to stop in them.

Lin Yu couldn't remember how many alleys he walked, he felt as if he had strayed into another world, and it seemed as if he would never end up in it. After asking passers-by for the last time, Lin Yu looked up and saw a single-family cottage, where the old lady's home should be.
