Chapter 7: Apologies (3)

The old man looked like he was fine, but in fact, anyone with a discerning eye could see that his body was no longer good.

Compared with four years ago, he has lost a lot of weight, his energetic appearance is no longer there, and his voice has become more and more hoarse. Sure enough, after four years, it has developed into lung cancer.

The old man was very happy to see his arrival, but unfortunately his physical condition did not allow him to move around too much, so he could only sit on the chair and said in a hoarse voice: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I have become such a big young man, how is your grandfather now?" Born in a family of traditional Chinese medicine, I won't be like an old man like me, who can't take care of his body and bones. ”

It seems that Steward Chen didn't dare to tell the old man the news, Lin Kongqing smiled bitterly: "If a person wants to leave, no matter how high his medical skills are, he will not be able to return to the sky, but it will only drag on for a few more months." ”

"People are gone. Alas, too, they are all in their eighties, and they are not very strong, and they may leave one day. It's the same with me, an old man, who is so sick that he may not be able to breathe one day and leave. The old man laughed twice and coughed violently.

Lin Kongqing is not a person who is good at comforting others, not to mention the old man's physical condition, it is indeed impossible to be worse, if he wants to pretend to deceive people, even if he doesn't know medical skills, he can't do it.

As for Zhao Yongjie, he pretended not to hear, it was the first time he went to this kind of place, and he himself was not good at words, so there was no other way than silence.

But the old man himself spoke again: "But just like me, I deserve it, that year your grandfather gave me a pulse, and said that I can't do it, I just didn't listen, I just felt that I still had so many years to live, and now it's too late to regret it." Fortunately, I am such a person, and God has let me live for eighty-three, enough, enough. ”

Still no one spoke, and the old man could only shake his head helplessly: "Lao Chen, go, help me take out that thing, let Mr. Lin take a good look." It's a family heirloom in someone's house, and it should be worth some money. ”

"By the way, the old man ordered Longjing this time, I don't know if that old friend has something?" Lin Kongqing asked.

The old man coughed twice and didn't speak for a long time.

Steward Chen went to get something, and in this huge room, only the old man, Lin Kongqing and Zhao Yongjie were left.

Zhao Yongjie can be regarded as a person who is good at observing words and feelings, and as soon as this cough sounded, he immediately spoke: "Excuse me, where is the bathroom?" ”

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly: "For guests, just go out and turn left." ”

"Thank you." Zhao Yongjie nodded and walked towards the door.

The old man turned around and smiled: "Yes, Buqing's staff seems to be very good, although I am old, but I still have this vision, this one is from the army." ”

Lin Kongqing nodded and said, "It happened to be Buqing who arrived in the year when the second grandfather died." ”

"Young people, those who are full of vigor are good. In our time, we were all buried by the war, and we couldn't remember what we did unconsciously, and we didn't remember what stupid things we did back then. ”

Lin Kongqing listened quietly, and could already guess that this commission had something to do with the story that the old man was going to tell next.

"Back then, I was only a teenager, a hairy child, and I didn't understand anything. My family didn't have much money for me to study, so I followed a group of children to fool around, stealing chickens and dogs, and doing everything. ”

"At that time, although everyone didn't know a few big words, they had an iron relationship. Although it's just a gangster on the street, they also grew up together, and they always steal someone's food together, or climb over the wall to see which lady is beautiful, and that's really a friend who doesn't talk about anything. ”

"Among our gang, there is a little kid who is different, their family used to be a big family, and then they didn't know how they were in trouble, so they mixed with us."

"He only has one sister, and he is a beauty. It's a pity that in that kind of difficult era, there was a teenage brother, and there was no other family, so he was bullied by others. ”

"Once everyone stole wine, they were all drunk, and they saw in a daze that someone was bullying his sister, and I was cheap, knowing that it was the fault of that hooligan ruffian, so I had to say that your sister would simply marry someone else."

Lin Kongqing suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Although the old man was drunk back then, there are some words, let alone say it, and he shouldn't even have this kind of thought, isn't this a clear expression of looking down on other people's sisters.

The old man smiled bitterly: "I said it, I also felt that it was wrong, but I was tough at that time, and I didn't want to apologize immediately." By the time his sister was crying but still came to pull the fight, I had already been beaten by that kid and couldn't find the north. As soon as my temper came up, I scolded the two of them, and after that, I never saw them again. ”

"At that time, it was very difficult to find someone, not to mention that there was a conflict, so I pretended not to care about it. As a result, this apology has not been spoken, and then the war started, and everyone went their separate ways, and after a long time, even that incident was forgotten. ”

"Old man, I'm going to die, think about the ones at home, aren't you sure that when I die, I will start robbing the family property, just take advantage of the fact that my mind is still clear, hurry up and order what is valuable in the family, and after I die, let them turn the family upside down." Later, he turned out a jade unicorn in his house. ”

"He used to show us that it was his family's heirloom and that it could not be sold, even if he starved to death. But his house is dilapidated, and he is afraid that if he is not careful, he will be taken away by a beggar, and my family can still live, so he hides it in my house for safekeeping. Later, he fled all the way, but he didn't fall off this circle. ”

Lin Kongqing said, "Does the old man want me to find him, or his family?" ”

The old man laughed rarely: "If you are just looking for someone, how can you be used, I smashed this money, where can I not find it, but it is much faster than your Buqing, after all, it was more than sixty years ago." On my side, I have found his family, and he is still in this world, this time I brought you here, I just want you, secretly return the jade unicorn to him, and then say for me, I'm sorry, old man, I don't have that time, I don't have that body, and I don't have that face, so I went in person. ”
