The old man's expression in these photos has changed slightly.

One of them was a happy laugh.

There is another one, the two of them have tears in their eyes, but they habitually barely squeeze out a smile that is more ugly than crying in front of the camera.

Chen Feng put down the photo, and remembered the description of a few lines in the description of the situation.

On September 15, 1998, the Sichuan-Shu Military Region successfully completed the task of flood fighting and rescue...... Company commander Comrade Chen Feng and health officer Comrade Liang Yun encountered a landslide on the way back to their hometowns and unfortunately died.

Since joining the army, the two comrades have ...... He is now posthumously recognized as a martyr and awarded second-class merit......

In 2007, Chen Feng's grandmother Zhou Xianxiu died of illness at the age of 65.

Chen Feng's grandfather Chen Mo is still alive, living alone in Sichuan Shu County, 81 years old this year, his health has not been good in recent years, and he is hospitalized from time to time.

Recalling, Chen Feng's hands shook unconsciously.

He turned his face away and looked to the side.

Lu Wei didn't bother him.

After a long time, Chen Feng put the materials back into the file bag, "Thank you." ”

"No thanks."

"It's a lot of effort to investigate this, right?"

Lu Wei: "Well, it's okay, I don't know the specific details. The suspect has also been caught, do you want to talk to her? ”

Chen Feng thought for a while, "Forget it, it's all over." ”

"I've always been curious, but I actually know about your past. You are obviously not a soldier, but you give me a strong military atmosphere now, and you are not the kind of recruit who has never been on the battlefield. And your temperament is getting stronger and stronger all the time. I thought it might be a delusion, but now I know that it's innate. ”

Chen Feng nodded: "Maybe." My adoptive father is also surnamed Chen, and he named me Chen Feng. My dad's name is also Chen Feng. Possible...... It's really destined in the dark. He didn't finish being a soldier, I'll be a soldier. I'm not going to disgrace him. ”

"Save it, you can't enlist in the army now. If you want to go, others won't agree, so it's better for you to continue writing your songs and doing research. ”

Chen Feng: "I'll talk about it later." ”

Chen Feng remembered that when he went to the future the first two times, Private Chen Feng's hometown was Shuzhou.

At that time, he was still a little puzzled, he was obviously not from Shudi, why he couldn't get along with this place all the time.

Now that he understands, from the very beginning, fate has been hinting at him.

Lu Wei nodded, looked him up and down again, and unconsciously sighed: "It's incredible, your natural temperament is too strong." ”

Chen Feng laughed, "It's not completely natural, you still have to practice, it took me a lot of life to practice." ”

"you! When I haven't seen your file or what? ”

"Really, why don't you believe me when I tell you the truth?"

Lu Wei couldn't cry or laugh, "Say, how many lives?" ”

Chen Feng pretended to think seriously, "There must be hundreds of billions." ”

At this time, Lu Wei's eyes had to be rolled up to the Heavenly Spirit Cover.

There was no way to take him, Lu Wei said helplessly: "Why are you driving again?" ”

Chen Feng: "I ......"

didn't dare to say any more, he began to quickly dig up his head, and at the same time he took out his mobile phone to call Meng Xiaozhou, and asked Meng Xiaozhou to immediately book him a direct flight ticket to Sichuan and Shu.

"I can't eat slowly with you today, I'm sorry, I'll finish eating early and go to Shuzhou to see my grandfather."

Lu Wei: "And then? ”

"Then I will buy a suite over there, and then buy a private jet, and then come to Hanzhou when I have something to do."

Lu Wei was shocked, "hiss......"

"One day is one day, I'm lost, the old man has been sad for twenty-one years, I want to make him happier."

However, everything is Chen Feng's beautiful vision, which cannot be realized after all.

Destiny is never perfect, full of flaws of one kind or another.

When he arrived in Sichuan and Shu County, he went straight to the community where Chen Mo lived to inquire, only to know that Chen Mo had entered the ward of the county hospital this morning.

Chen Feng hurriedly turned the car and went straight to the hospital.

Arriving at the inpatient building, others said that it was on the fifth floor, but the elevator had just gone up to the third floor at this time, Chen Feng turned his head and rushed into the stairs, ignoring the shock, and walked upstairs like lightning.

When he arrived at the door of the ward, he saw that the doctors and nurses were already standing outside.

He didn't dare to ask, the content of these people's conversations had already told him the answer.

Doctor: "He wouldn't let me stay with him, saying he wanted to be alone." The elderly really can't do it this time. ”

The nurse rubbed her eyes, "Ugh. ”

Another nurse's eyes were also red, "Actually, last year, I thought that Grandpa Chen was no longer good, but I didn't expect him to survive." ”

"He said he had to wait for his grandson to come back and didn't want to leave."

"It's been twenty-one years, how can I wait."

"People were only three years old when they were lost, so I don't remember."

"I'll be twenty-four years old now, and if I can get it back, I'll be back a long time ago."

"Where do you think Grandpa Chen's grandson is now? I helped him forward it to Moments before, but it didn't work at all. ”

"Who knows. I also earned it, and I went online to help him register. ”

"Ugh."

"Teacher Liu, what did Grandpa Chen just say?"

Doctor: "He said that he was still unwilling, but he also knew that he couldn't help it this time, but he was a little regretful and reluctant." ”

Doctors and nurses have seen a lot of birth, old age, sickness and death, and usually do not have too many psychological fluctuations.

But the story of Old Man Chen Mo is well known in the hospital.

About five or six years ago, the old gentleman, who was deteriorating, became a regular visitor to the hospital.

Many times the doctors thought that he would not survive, and the martyrs' welfare homes and funeral homes were preparing for the aftermath, but he was always miraculously regained his energy and relieved.

He has been able to hold on until now, all in one breath.

He always said that there were not many people in his family, and he had no relatives.

If you leave, the baby will come back in the future, and you won't be able to see anything, how sad will it be?

My old Chen was also an iron man who carried a gun back then, and he was not afraid of the rain of bullets, and I said that if I don't die, I won't die.

Black and white impermanence are afraid of me.

Everyone is also looking forward to this stubborn and stubborn old man's dream coming true.

But after all, time is the most ruthless blunt knife in the world, and no one can beat it.

No matter how strong the old man is holding on year after year, he will step into the ghost gate again and again and break free, there will always be a day when he has to admit defeat.

His hopes of coming true are getting slimmer.

Now he was finally forced to give up.

Chen Feng swallowed his saliva and asked, "Is Chen Mo in it?" How's it going? ”

The doctor looked at him in surprise, "Are you ......?" ”

"I'm his grandson, Chen Feng."

Everyone: "What! ”

Thirty seconds later, Chen Feng appeared in front of the hospital bed.

The old man didn't know that he had come in, and was only lying limply on the half-shaken bed.

On the cabinet next to the hospital bed were apples that had been peeled for an unknown amount of time, and they were already somewhat oxidized and blackened.

There is also a bowl next to it, which is the leftover glutinous rice balls that the old man eats when he gets up in the morning.

This has been his habit for many years, but unfortunately he can't finish it this time.

The old man put his hands on his chest, his fingers interlocked, his head tilted slightly, and his cloudy eyes looked out of the window.

The sun shines just right outside the window, shining on the elm trees.

The breeze blows, and the branches sway slightly.

Compared with twenty years ago, the old man's face at this time has many more furrow-like wrinkles.

His expression was flat, but his teeth were clenched.

He was breathing hard, but his breathing continued to weaken.

The fluorescent beating on the heartbeat monitor next to him was slowing down little by little, but it was getting a little faster as his ribcage lifted up with each hard breath.

The old man, who said that he just wanted to be alone and was ready to face death quietly and calmly, still refused to give up.

Chen Feng slowly leaned over and spoke cautiously and softly, "Grandpa, I'm back." ”

The old man jerked his head away.

He first looked at Chen Feng blankly.

The cloudiness in his gaze quickly dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

An indescribable smile bloomed on his wrinkled, dark face.

He opened his mouth to say something, but there was a ho-ho sound in his mouth, as if there was thick phlegm.

He seemed speechless.

He raised his right hand sharply and stretched it out to Chen Feng's face.

The rough touch fell on Chen Feng's face like a knife, but he didn't dodge it.

Chen Feng had a lot of words in his heart, but he couldn't say it.

"Ho-ho! Ho! Cough! Bah! ”

The old man sat up straight suddenly, then spat to the side, and then he looked back at Chen Feng.

He could finally make a sound in his throat.

His voice was like a bell, and his laughter was like an epiphany.

"Hah! Hahaha! You're back! ”

"Well, I'm back."

The old man stared at him with wide eyes, "You didn't lie to me, they didn't find someone to impersonate you, you and your father look like they were printed in the same mold." ”

The old man said as he scraped Chen Feng's face with his hand.

"What's your name now?"

"Chen Feng."

"Still surnamed Chen?"

"Hmm."

"Hahaha!"

The old man laughed wildly, the smile on his face getting brighter and brighter, but two unstoppable tears suddenly welled up in his eyes.

He hurriedly raised his left hand again and rubbed his eyes desperately, "No, this is blocking my eyes, I can't see you clearly, I have to take a look." ”

Chen Feng sat down next to him, "It's okay, I'm very rich now, I can cure it, grandpa, you get better sooner, and I'll let you see enough." ”

The old man shook his head again, "No, that's enough." I understand my own business, if I don't leave, Lord Yama will have to pick and choose. It's okay, I've got enough for my life anyway. ”

Chen Feng didn't answer.

The old man asked again, "Are you married?" Do you have a baby? ”

"Not yet."

"Is there a target?"

"Yes."

"Then you'll have to work harder!"

"Uh-huh."

The old man gradually became more excited, and then said loudly: "Hey, why am I asking this, anyway, you are back, and I can have an explanation with the Chen family and your parents after I go down." ”

Chen Feng wanted to say that you haven't reached the time to go down yet, but it makes no sense to say such things at this time.

The old man touched his face again, "Doll, thank you for your hard work." Suffered a lot, right? ”

Chen Feng: "It's still ...... OK. ”

"It's grandpa who is sorry for you, you shouldn't have given you to the turtle grandson, otherwise you wouldn't have gotten lost."

"It's fine. I'm not coming back. ”

Old man: "Well, it's not too late to come back, just right." ”

After saying this, the old man suddenly lay down softly, and even the hand that was scraping Chen Feng's face could not hang down.

Chen Feng bit his lip tightly and squeezed his hand.

He said slowly and weakly, but he was still teaching people, "What are you crying about!" Manly man, blood without tears! Director Lin said that birth, old age, sickness and death are the law, and no one can escape it. I'm not afraid of death, I'm just afraid that death will be meaningless. You see I'm not laughing a lot right now? ”

"But you cry first."

"I'm dying, what's wrong with crying? You're different, you're still a long life. ”

"Hmm."

Old man: "Chen Feng." ”

"Yes."

"Actually, I shouldn't have lectured you as soon as we met. But when you were a child, I didn't have time to teach you the principles of being a human being, and I lost it first. I'm afraid it won't be too late if I don't talk about it. ”

Chen Feng: "Grandpa, you say, I'll listen." ”

"Remember, don't let down the people who are good to you, and behave according to your conscience. Don't hate your own life, some things are predestined. Look at me, I've been waiting for you for twenty years, and I'm completely satisfied in these few minutes. ”

"Hmm."

"Your father is a well-known man, and your mother is also a well-known female man. They did what they had to do. Don't blame the two of them for not taking care of you growing up. ”

"Not to blame."

"You are also a well-known man now. My old Chen family only produces iron men. I can see that you have something in your heart, something big, but you can hold on. No matter what happens to you in the future, think about my words. ”

The old man raised his hand again and hung it around Chen Feng's neck, "I'm leaving." ”

Chen Feng couldn't answer.

"But you don't have to be sad, I don't regret it at all. That's all I have to say to you in my life. Everything else is, and it doesn't matter if you don't hear it. ”

Chen Feng: "Hmm. ”

Old man: "I'm gone." ”

Hands drooping.

The heartbeat monitor rang for a long time, which was extremely harsh.

Chen Feng sat on the chair for a long, long time.

Grandpa was exactly as beautiful as he could have imagined.

But the time spent together is too short and too short.

It was so short that he didn't even react, and he had already lost this happiness.

For a moment, he wanted to rush out and ask the thief why.

What exactly did you do wrong and you should be punished in this way.

But he reacted violently, in fact, there is no God in the world.

If he had to say yes, it would be himself.

He thought of the old man's incredible heroism and chic.

I don't know if the old man pretended to be afraid of being sad, or if he was really born so hard.
