In a small village in Hirayama, a small wooden house was built, and the children of the village knew that there lived a strange old man in the wooden house.

His yellowed white hair was a mess, he always wore a silver magnifying glass around his neck, and he wore a doctor-like white coat all year round, no matter how hot or cold the weather was.

That's why they all called him Old White Man.

The old man Bai was crazy most of the time and didn't recognize people, he just liked to squat in the field with a magnifying glass and play in the mud, or pick wild vegetables, wild vegetables and wild flowers, pick up big stones and smash them to pieces, and then put the rotten leaves and rotten flowers in a glass, pour water, and it will become colorful water.

Pink, yellow, blue, green, blue, it's beautiful.

This move has made many children scramble to follow suit, which can be regarded as a new way to play.

For a small part of the time, the old man was normal, he would teach the children how to make fire with a magnifying glass, and he would also tell them which herbs on the mountain could cure diseases.

But his memory is really not very good, the front foot told the old man Bai that his name was Mingjie, and the back foot he called him Qi Guang.

Everyone doesn't know much about him, but I just heard Aunt Liu at the entrance of the village say that the old man Bai is surnamed Ding, he lost his wife in his early years, has no son and daughter-in-law, and seems to be a white-haired person to a black-haired person, and there is only one granddaughter under his knees.

She is the caretaker hired by her granddaughter for him, gives a lot of money, goes three times a day, prepares breakfast, lunch and dinner, and then cleans the house and washes clothes.

As a result, the villagers had more sympathy for Old Man Bai.

…

Ji An remembered that many years ago, when he first entered the research institute, Ding Yibo's hair was still half black and half white, and he had a pair of gold-rimmed eyes on the bridge of his nose, and his wise eyes could be seen through the lenses.

And now, he is haggard and sloppy, his eyes are cloudy, and he is no longer as clear as he was back then.

"Grandpa." Ding Yicang stepped forward.

But as if he hadn't heard, he pounded the juice of his flowers and plants to himself.

"Grandpa, it's me, Cangcan. I'm back to see you. Ding Yicang continued.

"Rice Basket?" He finally had some reaction, and turned around blankly, with a hint of unhappiness on his face, "Who is Cangzong?" ”

"Cang Cang is your granddaughter. Look at me," she leaned forward, "take a good look, isn't it?" ”

Ding Yibo picked up the magnifying glass hanging around his neck, looked left and right: "I don't know, I don't care who you are!" ”

"Huh!" Ding Yicang wanted to step forward again, but he had already turned his head.

She took a step back in frustration.

After a while, Ding Yibo turned back again, glanced around, looked at several people in the room with an inexplicable expression, and said angrily: "Who are you?" Who let you into the lab?! What about Zhou Qiguang? Call him! ”

Everyone in the group was shocked.

But when his eyes swept over Ji An, there was nothing unusual, as strange as looking at others.

He still had memories of the institute in his head, nothing more than bits and pieces.

"Has he always been like this?" Ji An asked.

"Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad." Ding Yicang replied.

"That is, he has a normal time?" Jiang Zhou grasped the key words.

"Yes, but very little." Ding Yicang replied.

…

There were no hotels or inns in the vicinity of this small mountain village, so they had to find a few families to stay in.

The villagers learned that it was the relatives of the old man Bai and welcomed them very warmly.

Jiang Zhou and Ji An's stay are a kind old couple, as soon as they see Jiang Zhou, they praise her for being handsome, but her body is too thin, so she must make up for it.

"Xiao Jiang, you need to eat more to gain weight, you are like this, how can you raise children? Isn't that malnourished! The old woman's tone was quite serious, which made Jiang Zhou difficult to refute.

"Knowing my mother-in-law, I will supervise her to eat more." Ji An was the first to answer.

"As a husband, you must feel more sorry for your wife. So skinny, I doubt you're abusing her! The old woman's eyes widened as she spoke.

"Nope. How could I abuse her. Ji An hurriedly explained.

The old woman glanced at him, as if in disbelief.

Jiang Zhou looked at Ji An's deflated appearance, and couldn't help but snicker in his heart.

"Okay, okay, what kind of abuse is not abused, you don't understand, the little girls now, they are all thin and beautiful." The old man who was leisurely drinking tea on the side couldn't stand it.

"I don't understand, but you know a lot." The old woman has a feeling of seeing through at a glance.

"It's... Ahem..."The old man who drank the tea seemed to be choked all at once.

"You see, this is called a void of heart." The old woman pointed to the old man and said.

Jiang Zhou and Ji An looked at each other and smiled.

…

At night, Ding Yicang called everyone over, and Ding Yibo curled up on the small bed on the side and fell asleep.

"Everyone, what I'm going to say next is not to clear my grandfather's name, it's just that he is not as unconscionable as you think."

"My grandmother, shortly after my father was born, died of an incurable disease. Later, the disease was passed on to my father. My father's condition was much better than my grandmother's, so my grandfather went bankrupt to treat my father's illness, and he was determined to develop a medicine to cure the disease and save people. But at that time, he was just a poor professor, who couldn't come up with any money, and he had to think about forming a research team. ”

Later, that year, he opened a research institute as he wished, and found a group of high-achieving students to work with him on the project.

"Ten years ago, my dad was critically ill and needed a lot of money to stay alive, I don't know how my grandfather raised the money, always, dad got through that difficult time. Although in the end, he died, and my mother followed, leaving me and my grandfather to depend on each other. ”

"He didn't tell anyone about any of these things, and I witnessed the whole process with my own eyes. Grandpa he ...... He was guilty, but he didn't mean to kill others. ”

"I think he needs the life-saving money so much, and he needs the institute too much."

Ding Yicang's words, they have already understood.

Ding Yibo's obsession with the incurable disease of his wife and son prompted him to make a heinous mistake.

When IND appeared, it happened to be when Ding Yibo's son was critically ill and urgently needed money, and it was obvious that the research and development of IND gave him a large sum of money to save his son.

At the time of the East Window incident, it was when his son and daughter-in-law both died.

The explosion was not caused by Ding Yibo, because he remembered that Ji An said that Zhou Qiguang and others had tried their best to dissuade Ding Yibo at that time, but he was unwilling, because he wanted to develop the drug too much, and with such an idea, he would never blow up the research institute that he had worked so hard to build.

Then the death of eleven people, hallucinogens, should not be from Ding Yibo's hand.

He is the culprit, but not the murderer.

It was his obsession that indirectly led to their death.

Ji An turned his head to look at Ding Yibo, the person he used to respect the most.

The once high-spirited professor is now just a demented old man lying in bed and going crazy.

The world is impermanent, and God is too cruel to them.

……

Jiang Zhou called Ding Yicang out alone, and they moved two small stools to blow the cold wind.

"Will you forgive Grandpa?" Ding Yicang asked.

"After all, I'm not the one directly involved, so if I don't forgive, it's useless for me to say it." Jiang Zhou's voice was very cold and hard.

Ding Yicang lowered his head.

"Moreover, if you really want me to express my opinion, I am on Ji An's side, and I will definitely not forgive him."

"But grandpa, he also has a hard time." Ding Yicang said.

"Yes. Everyone has a last resort, but why should he let others suffer the retribution for his suffering? Jiang Zhou retorted, "There are eleven fresh lives." Their souls are still hovering on the top of Yi Mountain, with nowhere to live. ”

"I'm sorry," Ding Yicang wiped his nose, "I was too selfish to say just now. ”

"He is your relative, and it is normal for you to have irrational opinions about him." Jiang Zhou said.

"Yes, grandma is sick, and dad is also sick, when is it the end?" Ding Yican's voice was almost inaudible.

When is it a head?

Jiang Zhou frowned, she didn't miss a word of Ding Yicang's words, because she had already had some suspicions when she was narrating before.

Obviously, the disease is quite hereditary.

So the grandmother passed it on to the dad, and the dad will probably pass it on to the daughter......

At that time, Zhou Qiguang and the others tried their best to dissuade Ding Yibo from stopping research, but he was unwilling, and he still insisted on carrying it out...

Is it because I learned that my baby's granddaughter also inherited the disease?

"Yican, this disease, are you also ......" Jiang Zhou asked the suspicion in his heart.

Ding Yicang was silent for a long time, she raised her head and looked at the scattered stars in the sky: "Jiang Zhou, promise me one thing." ”

She turned her head: "I'm sicker than my grandmother and dad, and I don't have much time left." After that, I'm going to Shanghai, and I know you've sent Zava to Shanghai to get him a heart transplant, and God doesn't have much time left for him. ”

"So, please ask the doctor to donate my heart to Zava."

"He's so young, so kind and lovely, and there are so many beautiful things waiting for him in the world, he shouldn't die pitifully like this."

"A ......" Jiang Zhou's throat was like a thorn, and the pain made it difficult for her to speak.

"Also," she smiled, "please don't tell Zhou Yingguang about this." ”

She took out the small blue velvet box from her pocket: "This necklace, please give it to him when I die." ”

That gemstone necklace was the one they had seen at the Xiyi Inn before.

"If he asks me one day, he'll say I'm going to travel the world... No," she denied herself, a look of sorrow flashing in her eyes, "he probably won't ask me again." ”

…

At this time, the people hiding behind the door had already burst into tears.
