After dealing with the master's funeral, all the things in the family were handed over to the senior brother. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 In accordance with Master's last wishes, I took his handwritten letter and set out to Beijing to find Professor Qin Zhengguo, an old friend of Master, and started my study journey.

The dawn of the morning had already shone through the train window, and I opened my hazy eyes, and the sound of the train was still in my ears. My hands and feet were a little numb from the same posture that had not changed all night, and glancing at the sleeping old man across from me, I got up from my seat and stretched. The carriage is very quiet, most of them are still asleep, and some people are fighting up and down with their eyelids, and they want to sleep but dare not close their eyes to sleep, probably some people who don't sleep at night to watch their luggage!

There was a slight snoring behind him, but soon the snoring was interrupted, and then a tired voice came: "Oops...... It's time to get up! It's my turn to sleep! ”

"What time is it? I only slept at 2 o'clock yesterday, let me sleep a little longer! ”

"Didn't you say that you would change shifts at dawn! Why don't you talk a lot? ”

"......" replied with a moment of silence.

I chuckled, sat back down, and pulled out a slightly wrinkled photo from my pocket that Master had taken when Master took me to West Lake a few years ago. At that time, the master was still a white-haired old man with a red face and good health, and I took his arm and left a good memory of this moment by the beautiful white causeway, but now I am the only one who can still miss this memory. Looking at Master's smiling face in the photo, my eyes began to turn red slowly, and my throat was a little uncomfortable. I gently put away the photo, clasped my legs in my hands, rested my head on my arms and looked out the window, hoping that this scenery that passed away like the wind would take away the thoughts in my heart.

The train had crossed the Yangtze River to the northern region, and everything seemed to be completely different from its previous environment.

I have lived in Jiangnan since I was a child and have never been to the north. The mountains and rivers of the south of the Yangtze River have been deeply reflected in my heart, and suddenly I saw the endless land in the north, which made my heart inexplicably a little excited. Without the barrier of the mountains, everything in front of me became cheerful, including my mood. Patches of wheat fields, but surrounded by tall shelterbelts. I had only heard that the wind and sand here were more serious, but I didn't expect that there would be shelterbelts around the wheat fields to prevent the wind and sand, and I didn't know if I could adapt to the climate here.

I plugged in my headphones and let my thoughts drift away with the scenery outside the window, hoping to go back to the warm days when I was a child, those days with Master.

The train still runs on the vast plains, like a lonely traveler, carrying all kinds of dreams and hopes, even if it occasionally encounters other trains in the opposite direction, it only whizzes by, never stops.

Near noon, I got off the train at Beijing Station. Without making too many stops, I bought a bottle of water from a nearby store, and directly stopped a taxi and went straight to Professor Qin Zhengguo's house according to the address given by Master.

Taxis make their way through high-rise buildings because of the traffic lights. I wasn't in a hurry, I looked at the environment in Beijing and thought about what I would say when I saw Professor Qin later. Although I am not afraid of life, I have been with Master all these years, I have never gone to school, and I have relatively few people in contact, so it can be said that my world is the remote mountain village with Master, Senior Brother and hundreds of villagers, so my communication skills are not very good.

My brother was also worried about this problem before, and originally thought that he would accompany me to Beijing, but he thought that the people in this village still needed his help to see a doctor, so he didn't come with him. So before I left, I repeatedly told me to take care of myself, not to carry anything by myself, and to learn to seek help from others. I smiled and nodded to him, but I didn't know how to ask others for help, which might not be very realistic, but I also knew that all this was the work of my arrogant pride.

Almost an hour later, the taxi stopped at the entrance of an old courtyard house. I looked at the house in front of me through the window and paid to get out of the car.

I turned my head to look around, took out a note with the address written on it, reconfirmed the address, and then pulled my suitcase up the steps to knock on the door. When I went up the stairs with my suitcase, I noticed that the door was not closed, but a small crack had been left, as if the owner of the house knew that a guest was coming.

Without much thought, I pushed the door open and entered the courtyard. It's just that when I first entered the door, there was no courtyard in front of me, but a wall with a courtyard wall. I guess it's for wind! I thought about going around the wall and going in.

"Is anyone there?" I stood in the middle of the yard with my suitcase and shouted to the other side.

"Who is it?" An old lady who was in good spirits opened the curtain in front of the door and walked out, her steps were quite steady.

Seeing such an old man, I didn't dare to slack off, so I let go of the suitcase in my hand and stepped forward to ask, "Hello, grandma!" Is this Professor Qin Zhengguo's house? ”

"Yes! You're looking for Lao Qin! He's in the house! Come on, come on, go in and sit. The old lady smiled and pulled me into the house, and shouted into the house: "Old Qin! A student is looking for you! ”

When I heard this, I didn't know how to react, thinking that I had already entered the house.

An old man with gray hair was sitting on the sofa watching TV, and when he saw me enter, he looked at me with a thoughtful look, and then said, "Did your teacher ask you to come to me, an old man?" Whose student are you? I don't think I've seen you before! ”

I hurriedly explained, "Professor Qin, you misunderstood, I'm not a student, I ......" As I spoke, I took out Master's handwritten letter from my backpack and handed it to him.

"This is my master's handwritten letter, let me give it to you, you can take a look first!"

Professor Qin took the letter from my hand suspiciously, and when he saw the words on the envelope, he seemed to understand something, looked at me meaningfully, and then reached out and took the reading glasses on the side, opened the letter and looked at it.

I stood a little uneasy, not knowing what Master had written on the letter. Before he died, he didn't explain much, but just asked me to come to Beijing to study and experience, find my own goals, and do what I wanted to do and should do.

The old lady on the side saw that I was a little uneasy, so she came over and pulled me to sit on the sofa next to me, and said with a smile: "Sit down for a while!" It's tiring to stand, so don't be so restrained! ”

I nodded with some restraint, and then my eyes were fixed on my shoes, not knowing what to say.

Seeing me nodding, the old lady walked out with a smile, and soon walked in with some fruit: "On this hot day, come, eat some fruit to quench your thirst!" ”

As she spoke, she had already put down the fruit plate and sat down beside me, and then took a piece of watermelon and stuffed it into my hand: "It's best to eat watermelon in summer!" You're welcome! It's been a long time since a young person has come to our family, just the two of us, it's strangely deserted! I, O young man, am glad to see you, and I will come and sit here often. ”

I smiled politely at her, and then looked at the watermelon in my hand with a little embarrassment. This old lady is too enthusiastic! I've always had a cold temperament, and I can't stand this kind of enthusiasm and don't know what to do.

Just when I didn't know how to solve this embarrassment, Professor Qin's words rescued me from this dilemma: "You just smile? ”

"Huh? Well! "I couldn't react, I didn't expect this serious-looking old man to call me by my nickname as soon as we met, and it sounded so kind!

"Eh......" Professor Qin sighed, continued to look at me and said, "I didn't expect you to grow so big, I remember that I was only two years old when I saw you that time, and you were only so tall!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gestured in front of him, which was about the height of a two-year-old child.

I put the watermelon in my hand on the table and asked suspiciously, "Do you know me?" ”

"Yes! But I've only seen you once. You were very young then, so you don't remember me! Time flies! You're so old! Professor Qin said with some emotion.

"Oh!" I answered, and began to look at the sad-looking old man in front of me.

The years had left indelible marks on his face and hair, but his mental state was excellent, and he was full of glory, especially his bright eyes, in which they were no worse than those of any young man. Judging from his body and complexion, his body bones are also very good, and there should be no problem in living to Master's age without accidents. It's just that compared to the look on his face when he came in before, the previous seriousness has turned into the current sadness.
