Chapter 27: Thirty Degrees (4)

Lieber's home consisted of a low-slung bungalow.

A mourning hall was simply arranged.

A smiling black-and-white portrait of Lieber hangs above the mourning hall.

There are very few people.

Gu Yuan looked at Li Bo's portrait in a daze, and his heart was full of panic.

Sun Tao, Yang Fatzi and Wang Yunjiao stood silently beside Gu Yuan.

The mourning hall was set up by the teacher of No. 2 Middle School for Li Bo.

The teacher of the second middle school babbled a lot to Gu Yuan and Sun Tao.

Gu Yuan found that he had never really understood this old man, this old man who used to talk to him very well.

Lieber's wife died decades ago.

Lieber had a son.

I was sent to the army a long time ago.

After leaving the army, Lieber's son chose a job as a firefighter.

A local mega fire.

When Lieber's son entered the fire to save people, he finally died honorably.

Since then, Li Bo has become a lonely old man.

The state wants to subsidize Li Bo.

Lieber refused.

He said at the time: "I can't ask for this money, my son is sacrificing for the country, he is sacrificing for the people, I take this money and it will be tasteless, and I don't need to use it alone." ”

A lot of the time.

This old man also has a paranoid side.

Many of Lieber's relatives have cut ties with him, who would have a relationship with a lonely old man who has no money?

A lonely old man.

An old man who asks for a clear conscience.

Back then, as long as Gu Yuan was free, Li Bo would tell him a lot of strange stories.

Every time Gu Yuan came, Li Bo would laugh and scold, and he was in a very happy mood.

In other words.

In Li Bo's eyes, Gu Yuan, who has always been willing to listen to his stories, didn't he give him a spiritual sustenance?

Three years of junior high school together.

In Li Bo's heart, Gu Yuan is like his grandson.

Gu Yuan quietly stared at Li Bo's black and white portrait.

His gaze met that of the portrait, and the smile on the portrait seemed to appear for him.

I remembered a lot of bits and pieces of getting along with Lieber.

Life is sometimes so fragile!

Come on!

People go!

There is nothing anyone can do to change this law of nature.

Sadness stained Gu Yuan's eyes, his lips were a little pale, and his body was stiff.

If only the money could be exchanged for Lieber's life.

Gu Yuan is willing to use all his current assets to bring Li Bo back to life.

It's a pity that money really isn't everything.

At least not to bring a person back from the dead.

Leaning against the wall weakly, Gu Yuan felt that he was very incompetent, he was like this in the face of Lin Weizhong back then, and now he is also the same in the face of Li Bo's death, he can't do anything, he really can't do anything!

Sun Tao, Yang Fatzi and Wang Yunjiao didn't have much contact with Li Bo, and they couldn't understand Gu Yuan's sadness and helplessness at this moment.

They have nothing but ordinary sadness.

But they can see Gu Yuan's powerlessness, Gu Yuan's helplessness, and Gu Yuan's endless sadness.

Words to the lips.

They don't know how to comfort them.

Gu Yuan, who had been silent for a long time, changed his voice a little: "I want to stay here tonight to accompany Li Bo, since graduating from junior high school, I don't have many days to accompany him, and I want to accompany him well on this last journey." ”

Rites of passage.

Everybody has to go through it.

You will always see the elders around you slowly aging and dying.

What a cruel thing this is.

But no one can change it.

Even if you are worth hundreds of billions, even if you have supreme power, you can't change this qiē.

Yang Fatzi said: "Sun Tao, Wang Yunjiao, you two go back first!" I'm here tonight with Brother Yuan. ”

Sun Tao and Wang Yunjiao were silent for a second.

Sun Tao said, "I'll stay tonight too." ”

Wang Yunjiao also said: "You all stay, how can I go first?" ”

Gu Yuan didn't force them to leave, if they wanted to stay, they would stay! This is the last journey to see off Lieber, and the more people there are, maybe he will be less lonely.

A teacher in the second middle school gave Gu Yuan a rusty iron box: "This was found when sorting out Li Bo's relics, which contained a letter written by Li Bo to you, it seems that you have an important position in Li Bo's heart." ”

Gu Yuan's arm stiffly took over the rusty iron box.

It took a lot of effort to open the box.

It was piled up with scraps of paper, hundreds of them.

On these pieces of paper was an envelope.

On the envelope were written the three scribbled words "To Gu Yuan".

Open the envelope.

The letter inside was pulled out, and it was filled with dense small print.

"Little rabbit cub, old man, I know that I don't have long to live, when you read this letter, I may have been drinking with Lord Hades, if I can drink with Lord Hades, I am also a fairy, right?"

"So, if your kid comes to see me off for the last time, then you give me more smiles, old man, I'm not dead, but I'm going to another world to live."

"After reading what I'm going to say, don't laugh at me."

"Still, I guess you're going to laugh at me."

"Gu Yuan, thank you for your company in those years, I don't like storytelling, I just want someone to accompany me."

"Thank you boy for being willing to listen to my stories, and then I gradually became fond of storytelling, and I liked telling you stories."

"After your kid graduated from junior high school, the old man and I were so idle, I collected a lot of strange stories, all of which you haven't heard, and I'm going to find time to tell you a good time, but unfortunately I haven't had such an opportunity."

"Gu Yuan, you are an excellent child, so good that you can cover up the light of the rest."

"In the three years of junior high school, I have been silently cheering for your kid, whether others believe it or not, anyway, old man, I believe you can soar."

"Over the years, you have come to No. 2 Middle School less and less, there is always a solution to anything, don't always be bored by yourself."

"Old man, I can't help you much, I'll have a good chat with Lord Yama, if anyone dares to stop you, I'll let Lord Yama drag him to the ground to accompany us."

"Xiaoyuan, you kid give me a good life, old man, my cow has been blown out for you, in front of those teachers in the second middle school, I have always affirmed that you are not a thing in the pool, you don't want the old man and me to really become bragging."

……

One word.

Read on slowly, word by word.

Gu Yuan didn't laugh at Li Bo, he really couldn't laugh.

But his eyes were red.

This moment.

There was no coldness on his face.

Inside a rusty tin box.

Hundreds of pieces of paper.

Each piece of paper records a strange story.

There are many stories.

But the storyteller is gone.

Gone forever.

It went so suddenly.

Walked in such a hurry.
