Chapter 23 The Death of Smith
Mother Ott and Firth flew side by side in the sky, hurrying towards the Ott Orphanage.
"What's your name, kid?" The Mother of Otter asked suddenly.
Firth had been worried about Smith's condition, a little absent-minded, and was stunned for a moment before replying, "My name is Firth." ”
"Firth? What a nice name! Was it your father's name for you? The Mother of Ultra smiled and looked at Firth, her hands straight ahead.
"I'm ......," Furston paused, poked in the sore spot of his heart by the Mother of Ultra, and his heart became even heavier, and he said in a deep voice, "I haven't seen my father. ”
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked that." Looking at the heavy expression on Firth's face, the mother of Otter also saw that the child in front of her was an orphan.
For an orphan, the most feared thing is loneliness, when the person closest to him, the most concerned, and the most loving to him leaves this world, leaving himself alone in this world, what is the meaning of life?
After a moment of silence, Firth asked with some hesitation, "Mother of Otter, ...... you You're going to be able to heal Grandpa Smith's injury, right? ”
Faced with such a question, Ott's mother didn't know how to answer, and she didn't know if she could save the old man in Firth's mouth, but she knew that this old man was important to the child in front of her.
In the course of her mother's medical career, the most serious injury she had ever treated was her own son, Taylor.
At that time, in order to protect humanity on Earth, Taylor was stabbed in the body by the giant beak of the ferocious volcanic monster bird Barton, and was killed by the poisonous venom secreted from two poison sacs in Barton's cheeks.
But not all injuries can be healed, and when the injured person reaches a certain age, the probability that she can heal his injuries will also drop a lot, after all, no matter how good the medical skills are, people will eventually die, and Ultraman is no exception.
"Firth, the grandfather Smith you are talking about, should be someone who is very important to you, right?" The Mother of Ott did not answer Firth's question directly, so she changed the subject.
"He's my only relative in this world, and I can't let anything happen to him." Firth said with a heavy heart, and turned to look at the Mother of Ultra expectantly, "Please be sure to revive him!" Please! ”
"I'll do my best." The Mother of Ultra nodded affirmatively.
After about thirty minutes of flying, Firth and the Mother of Ott finally arrived at the Ott Orphanage.
"Please come with me." Landing on the ground, Firth led the Mother of Ultra into the Ultra Orphanage and to Smith's bedside.
"Grandpa Smith, I've brought the Mother of Ultra back, you'll be fine!" As soon as he entered Smith's bedroom door, Firth shouted.
"Grandpa Smith!" Firth suddenly panicked and walked to the head of the bed and shouted to Smith, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, apparently fainting again after Firth left.
"Firth, I'll take a look." The Mother of Ultra stepped forward, stretched out her left arm, bent her elbow at forty-five degrees, and touched her right palm to her left arm to draw energy, quickly reaching for Smith's timer, and continuously transmitting energy from her palm into Smith's timer.
Firth frowned and looked nervously at the Mother of Ott.
After about three minutes of transmission, the Mother of Ultra stopped the energy delivery.
"Mother Ott, how's Grandpa Smith?" Firth asked eagerly.
The Mother of Ultra shook her head helplessly, and said heavily: "I'm sorry, I've done my best, he only has the last three minutes left." ”
"You're a liar! Grandpa Smith, how could he ......? You promised me that I would save him, but you must have not done your best, I beg you, can you save him again? I beg you. Hearing this, Firth shouted frantically, tears welling up in his eyes, revealing an unacceptably painful expression.
"Firth ......" Smith's dying voice sounded, Firth looked at the bedside, Smith's eyes glowed faintly, flickering and flashing, like two broken light bulbs, the timer on his chest also flashed red, and the rapid alarm sounded as if to warn that life was about to end.
"Grandpa Smith, I don't want you to leave me!" Firth sat on the edge of the bed, his head in Smith's arms, crying.
"Good boy, what are you crying about, grandpa... It's just going to another world. Smith said hoarsely, coughing violently a few times, and his voice became even weaker, "Grandpa...... Grandpa has something to say to you before he leaves. ”
Firth raised his head, his face already soaked with tears, and sobbed, "Grandpa Smith, you...... You say. ”
Smith stretched out his trembling palm, spread out his clenched palm, and placed a crystal clear red stone on it, with a big "1" carved on the stone, and said weakly: "This is ...... It was the stone I held in your hand when I brought you back, and I will hand it over now...... I'll give it to you, and it will bring you ...... To bring good luck, you must ...... Take good care of it. ”
"I remember, I will definitely ...... Take good care of it. Firth took the red stone, sobbed and nodded.
"One more thing, Firth, I'm sorry! I...... I lied to you, I don't know your Father at all...... Who is the father, you are what I picked up from a wilderness, right...... Sorry! Smith gasped and said hoarsely.
"No, Grandpa Smith, you don't have to say I'm sorry if...... If it weren't for you, I'd have died in the wilderness, Grandpa Smith, don't leave me! If you're gone, I'm nothing in this world...... Loved ones are gone. ”
"Silly...... Child, grandpa will watch all the time in heaven...... Looking at yours, you must ...... To live strongly, as long as you are ...... If you live, grandpa will be very happy, can you agree...... Me? Good ...... Stay alive. ”
"Hmm!" Firth nodded, sobbing silently.
"Grandpa still has ...... One last request. Smith continued to gasp.
"You say." Firth sobbed.
"You have to ...... Join the Cosmic Guard and become a ...... for cosmic peace and justice Overmatch! ”
"I ...... I don't want to be a strong person, I just want you to live! Firth pursed his lips and cried out sadly.
"No, you have to ...... Join the Cosmic Guard, or Grandpa I'll ...... Belch! Smith let out a scream of pain with some excitement.
"Grandpa Smith!" Firth cried, "I promise you! ”
"It's good so that grandpa can ...... Rest in peace! Smith looked serenely at the heavens, as if he saw a heavenly glow of golden light, and he smiled one last of his reassuring smiles.
"Goodbye, Firth!"
Smith's eyes stopped flickering like a light bulb that had been cut off, the ringing in his chest stopped, and his trembling hands pressed silently on Firth's arm, and at this moment, the whole world was still.
