While waiting in the corridor, the teacher of the Youth Palace called Wu Dao:

"Wu Yisheng's father, who picked up the child today, it's already out of school, and no one comes. I called Wu Yisheng's mother, and her phone was turned off. ”

Wu Dao suddenly understood at this time that Shi Qingqing should have been in a car accident on the way to pick up Wu Yisheng, and he said to the teacher of the Youth Palace:

"Yisheng's mother was in a car accident and is now being rescued at the People's Hospital. You tell him to take a taxi to the hospital. ”

"That's it, I'm off work too, let's drive Wu Yisheng over, so it's more reassuring."

"Thank you."

Ten minutes later, the operation was over, and the doctor pushed Shi Qingqing out, but he was already dead.

Wu Dao's tears flowed. He sat on a chair in the corridor and made a phone call and told Shi Qingqing's parents the news of Shi Qingqing's death in a car accident. At this time, Wu Yisheng came to the hospital and saw Shi Qingqing for the last time. Wu Dao hugged the painful Wu Yisheng in his arms, and his tears couldn't stop flowing.

The next day, the traffic police informed Wu Dao of the results of the investigation of the car accident: Shi Qingqing collided with the opposite vehicle while driving, the other party was drunk driving, and was fully responsible, and the driver who caused the accident had died on the spot.

The traffic police also told Wu Dao that he could sue and let the family of the driver who caused the accident compensate, but his family conditions were not good, the driver was 28 years old, the child was just two years old, and his wife had no job.

Wu Dao decided to drop the prosecution because a car accident had already killed two people, and he didn't want to drive the innocent woman and child to a dead end.

Shi Qingqing's sudden death caught Shi Qingqing's parents, Wu Dao, and Wu Yisheng off guard.

Shi Qingqing's parents sent the white-haired man to the black-haired man, heartbroken, Shi's mother almost had a nervous breakdown, and soon became ill.

Wu Dao was also very worried and regretful. Regarding Shi Qingqing's death, although the traffic police said that the car accident was the full responsibility of the other party, Wu Dao still felt that he had an unshirkable responsibility, if he did not file for divorce, Shi Qingqing would not be stimulated, and he might be able to react more quickly when driving, so as to avoid the car accident, at least to avoid death.

Shi Qingqing is gone, but the Shi Dao education she is in charge of is still there. Summer vacation is the busiest time for the training business, Wu Dao was originally very disgusted with these things, and now that everything has fallen on his head, he feels even more overwhelmed, so he transferred the tutoring school at a low price.

In order to comfort Shi Qingqing's parents, after selling the tutoring school, Wu Dao took Wu Yisheng to Shi's house and gave them all the money Shi Qingqing had earned from running the tutoring school over the years and the money from the transfer of the tutoring school, so that they could enjoy their old age in peace.

That's a lot of money, and for Shi Qingqing's parents, it's a huge amount of money. When handing over the money to Shi Qingqing's parents, Wu Dao also promised that although Shi Qingqing was gone, he would treat them as parents in the future and would often take Wu Yisheng to visit them. Shi Qingqing's parents were very moved and cried again.

Although Shi Qingqing's parents need to be cared for, they are only in their fifties after all, and their health has always been good, and after a period of sadness, they have returned to their normal lives.

What worries Wu Dao the most is Wu Yisheng, after Shi Qingqing's death, Wu Yisheng is silent every day and rarely speaks, and the happy boy before is gone, as if he is suffering from depression.

Wu Dao canceled the tutoring classes that Shi Qingqing had reported to Wu Yisheng before, accompanied him at home every day, and often took him outside for a walk, but his mental state was still very poor.

Wu Dao understood that going on like this day by day would be very bad for both their father and son. Seeing that more than ten days have passed, the time has reached the beginning of August, and there are only more than 20 days left before the start of school, he needs to find a way to let Wu Yisheng rediscover the joy of life before the school starts, and only when his spirit gets better, can he cheer up as soon as possible.

Wu Dao thought about it and felt that traveling might be a feasible way. Where are you going? He decided to ask Wu Yisheng's opinion. One day at lunch, Wu Dao said to Wu Yisheng:

"Yisheng, there is still a period of time before the start of school, do you want to go to other places to see and relax?"

Wu Yisheng's eyes seemed to have some light, he looked at Wu Dao and said:

"Where?"

"We can go to Zhejiang and Hunan to see the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, Chengdu and Chongqing to see the scenery of the southwest, we can also go to the northeast to see Changbai Mountain, and go to the northwest to see the grassland, desert and snow-capped mountains.

Now is the time of the hot weather, the south is more muggy than we are, it is better to go to the northeast and northwest, if you want to go to the south, you can also go. Of course, we can also go to the beach for a few days, which is also cooler. It's up to you where you want to go. ”

"I've been to the beach several times, but I won't go. Let's go to the northwest to see the grasslands, deserts and snow-capped mountains. I want to ride a horse on the steppe. ”

"Okay, then we'll go to the northwest. There you can ride not only horses, but also camels. ”

"I haven't been on a plane before, I want to fly there."

"Okay, let's fly. I'm booking my ticket online right now, and we'll pack up our things this afternoon and leave early tomorrow morning. ”

Throughout the afternoon, although Wu Yisheng's spirit was not very good, he was obviously more vigorous. He packed everything he was going to bring with him in his suitcase.

Wu Yisheng was going to the northwest, and Wu Dao was very happy, because what he wanted to go to the most was there. It has been a full twenty years since the last time I went to Pearl Lake, and Wu Dao really wants to go back there to have a look. Remembering that it was very cold on the mountain, Wu Dao told Wu Yisheng to bring thick clothes.

In the evening, Wu Yisheng's words became a little more. During the meal, he asked Wu Dao:

"Dad, what's it like to fly, isn't it fun?"

"It's not fun to fly at all, you can't move around, you can't open the windows, and you can feel bad when you take off and land. However, when the plane flies above the clouds, it does feel like the clouds are flying through the fog, and the feeling of overlooking the ground from the sky is also amazing. Wu Dao said.

"I want to fly right now. Is there anything to do in the Northwest? ”

"There are a lot of boundless deserts, vast grasslands, towering snow-capped mountains, and clear lakes."

"Is there a lot of good food?"

"Of course, there are a lot of cantaloupe, grapes, watermelon, lamb skewers, roasted whole lamb, etc., which can make you eat enough."

"I wish I could get there soon."

"We'll leave early tomorrow morning."

After eating, Wu Dao found out the photos he took in the northwest and showed them to Wu Yisheng. Wu Yisheng saw these photos when he was still in kindergarten, and then he often turned them out to see, he used to look at these photos as a game, and then he forgot about it, but this time he looked at it very seriously.

Wu Dao told Wu Yisheng about the origin of each photo, and Wu Yisheng was even more full of yearning for going to the northwest.

When looking at the photo, Wu Dao remembered He Hua, and he and He Hua had not been in contact for more than ten years. When you go to the northwest, do you want to go to see He Hua, or do you want to tell He Hua that you want to go to the northwest?

Wu Dao thought about it for a long time, and finally decided not to tell He Hua about his trip to the northwest, he didn't want to disturb He Hua's life, not to mention that he hadn't seen him for more than twenty years, He Hua might not be able to remember a person named Wu Dao.

Early the next morning, Wu Dao took Wu Yisheng to Jeju by high-speed train, and then took a taxi to the airport.

As soon as he entered the airport, Wu Yisheng was very curious about the things around him, looking here and there for a while, and constantly asking Wu Dao all kinds of questions. Wu Dao felt very relieved, and it was a very correct decision for him to take Wu Yisheng on a plane trip.

After printing out the tickets, Wu Dao and Wu Yisheng lined up to go through the security check and then boarded the plane. When Wu Dao booked the ticket, he chose a window seat for Wu Yisheng. After sitting in the seat, Wu Yisheng was even more excited, looking forward to the plane taking off earlier, and he said to Wu Dao:

"Dad, I want to go to the sky and see the clouds."

The plane started, taxied for a long distance, and finally left the ground. During the ascent, although Wu Yisheng also felt overweight, he still looked at the world outside the window with anticipation. When the plane reached above the clouds, Wu Yisheng said to Wu Dao:

"Dad, I remember when I was a kid you told me that when a person dies, he comes to heaven. Is my mother in the sky now, living on these white clouds? I wanted to fly, not just because I hadn't flown before, but also because I wanted to come to see my mom in the sky. ”

Wu Dao hugged Wu Yisheng and said:

"That's right. Your mother is a good person, she must be in heaven. When you miss her, we'll fly to the sky to see her. ”

Wu Yisheng looked outside the plane and stopped talking.

After the plane arrives at the airport in the northwest. Wu Dao took Wu Yisheng to take a taxi to the city, where he tasted a variety of delicacies. After that, they stayed in a hotel and waited for the next day to continue their trip.

Nothing happened overnight.

The next morning, Wu Dao and Wu Yisheng woke up at the usual time of getting up, because there was a time difference of more than two hours between Northwest and Fangzhou, and it was actually less than five o'clock in local time.

But it was already dawn at that time, and Wu Dao and Wu Yisheng both got up. The two of them washed up, watched TV for a while, and then went to the hotel restaurant for breakfast.

After breakfast, Wu Dao and Wu Yisheng packed their luggage, took a taxi to the bus station, and took the earliest bus to Pearl Lake. On this route, the car travels for about six hours.

The driver ordered a boxed lunch at a service center restaurant halfway through the highway, and when he passed there at noon, the restaurant staff delivered the boxed lunch to the car, and Wu Dao and Wu Yisheng each ate a box, and they were almost full.

At half past two in the afternoon Beijing time, the car passed by Pearl Lake, and Wu Dao and Wu Yisheng got off from the lake. As soon as he got out of the car, Wu Yisheng said to Wu Dao:

"Dad, this is where you took the picture, right?"

"That's right, the lake in the photo at home is here, the snow-capped mountains, grasslands, waterfalls, and yurts are all here." Wu Dao said.

"It's such a nice place, the sky is so blue, the lake is so clear, the air is so fresh, you can't see a little haze at all."

"It's a great place indeed. Let's go up there and find a yurt to live in, and then we'll come out to play. ”

"Okay."
