After getting off the plane, An Zixian and Mo Jingting hurried back to the shop on Shili Street in Haizhou.

When they arrived on the second floor of the shop, the master and apprentice were secretly glad that they could see the old man for the last time.

Aunt Wang had been waiting for a long time, and when she saw the two of them, she led the master and apprentice into the room as soon as she saw them. At this time, the old man who was lying on the bed and dying had been muttering, and neither of the master and apprentice could understand him. An Zixian wanted to exchange, but was stopped by Aunt Wang, saying that the old man's breath was maintained by perseverance, and if he suddenly called, he was afraid that he would be deflated.

The old man's mind seemed to begin to flash all the pictures in his life that touched him deeply, and in the vague whispering, the deep-set eyes began to flow out of tears, until they soaked the pillow and the corner of the clothes and the bed, the old man suddenly returned to the light and shouted loudly "Pick up the beads", the whispering gradually went out, and the deep-set eyes finally swallowed the last breath and passed away with a bitter face.

At the moment of passing, Aunt Wang began to slowly tidy up the old man's appearance, looking extraordinarily calm. And An Zixian and Mo Jingting's hearts chuckled, it turned out that birth, old age, sickness and death were so sad, just now they were still muttering and panting in front of them, but this moment is gone forever, they can no longer hear any pleasant sounds in this world, and they can no longer see any warm things in this world, just like a broken string, the gorgeous movement has ended.

An Zixian suddenly woke up when he saw the brain machine next to the bed, and hurried over to find out if he could leave some memories when the old man was still dead, so that when Li Wenji came back in the future, he would explain to him. But Aunt Wang gently refused, she said that the old man didn't like this, that day just got back the brain machine, also tried it for him, the first time he saw the picture, he cried bitterly and signaled himself to take it off, the old man thought that his unbearable life was not worth leaving any memories and thoughts, only in the underground can continue to repent in order to let the soul of him get comfort.

An Zixian seemed to understand what Aunt Wang meant, and said, "Aunt Wang, I'll go and call the funeral home and arrange a good place for the old man to ......."

"No need," Aunt Wang stopped An Zixian, "It's all arranged, the old man has a last wish before his death, hoping to scatter the ashes on the back mountain of the Stone Buddha Temple against the Buddha after his death, just leave a wordless stone tablet, he wants to continue to look up to the Buddha and continue to repent piously in hell......" After speaking, Aunt Wang's calm face began to be unable to hide the pain, and she couldn't help but hide her face and cry.

"Aunt Wang......" Mo Jingting wanted to speak and stopped.

"Out of the way... Out of the way! Aunt Wang struggled to phrase it.

After packing up the old man's belongings, half an hour later, the funeral home's car took away the old man for cremation.

.....

Following the old man's last wish, under the leadership of Aunt Wang, the three of them took the old man's ashes and the wordless stele to the hill behind the Stone Buddha Temple. After scattering the ashes and erecting the stone monument, the three of them were silent for another three minutes.

"Aunt Wang, don't be too sad," Mo Jingting approached Aunt Wang and held her hand, "People will eventually grow old, birth, old age, sickness and death are the normal state of life, so those who are alive must live well." ”

"It's okay....... Aunt Wang, I just feel that his life has been too bumpy, and I can't help but feel a little distressed," Aunt Wang looked at Mo Jingting and patted her hand, "You have a heart, thank you." ”

"Aunt Wang, you're too polite." Mo Jingting snuggled up to Aunt Wang's shoulder when she heard the word thank you.

At this time, An Zixian heard the word bumpy and thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "Aunt Wang, whose name is the 'picking up beads' that the old man shouted before he was leaving?" ”

Aunt Wang was silent for a moment when she heard this, and said, "Come with me." ”

After going down the mountain, An Zixian and Mo Jingting followed Aunt Wang through the ancient town, and finally entered the Shifo Temple.

Entering the temple, Aunt Wang led the master and apprentice around the Daxiong Hall to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall at the back, and finally stopped in front of a black stone statue on the side.

"This Buddha statue was carved by the old man with a meteorite," Aunt Wang pointed to the Buddha statue and said, "There is also this confession, which was written down by the old man when he worshiped the Buddha during his lifetime, and he will ......burn it according to his last wish," he said, and went up to the confession and handed it to an old monk in the temple to deal with.

An Zixian wanted to stop to see if the old man still had unfinished matters to deal with, but he didn't move when he thought about his body, and he just wanted to have more respect for the deceased old man.

"Aunt Wang, does this have anything to do with that 'picking up beads'?" Mo Jingting couldn't help but ask.

An Zixian also cast an expectant gaze at the same time.

Aunt Wang said: "Zhuzhu is the daughter of the old man, and it is the child born to him and his first love. ”

An Zixian and Mo Jingting's eyes widened at the same time, and after looking at each other, they looked at Aunt Wang at the same time.

Aunt Wang continued: "The old man failed his first love, although he was ashamed, but he finally failed to regret it, which led to the development of the father-daughter relationship to an irrelievable point. ”

Looking at the misty eyes of the master and apprentice, Aunt Wang paused, and said, "Actually...... Li Wenji came back before he disappeared, and he chatted with the old man in the temple for a long, long time......"

"What!" An Zixian and Mo Jingting said strangely at the same time.

Aunt Wang smiled slightly, led the two to the outside of the Buddhist hall, and after sitting down in front of the cushion, she told the master and apprentice about the matter.

......

Here's the thing, from the short night between Li Wenji and Bai Rong Zai Liupo Village, to the six days of lost dependence in the forest, and then to the final Bai Rong sacrificing his life to save each other, this back and forth, life and death together, Li Wenji and Bai Rong are deeply in love with each other.

When she woke up from the hospital, Li Wenji was fine, but Bai Rong had affected her central nervous system due to excessive consumption and many complications such as hypoglycemia. At present, there is no cure in medicine, and all that can be done is to be accompanied by family and lovers, waiting for a miracle to happen.

At that time, Li Wenji, who heard the news, immediately cried like a second fool, his distorted face was like his heart being cut by a knife, and he also knew that Bai Rong had brought it back with all his last strength. Because he remembered the feeling when he was unconscious, in a trance, he felt that he was in a jolt all the time, and it seemed that there was water flowing down his back, and the sound of rapid breathing, almost desperate cries. At that time, he felt the warmth and opened his eyes desperately, only to see that the sky was gray, and it was raining heavily, and Bai Rong was running in the rain with her. He also tried to shout out to stop Bai Rong, but as soon as the words came out, they were like a moaning fly, which had already been drowned by the majestic rain, making this trace of lucidity fall to the ground and faint into a chaotic dream.

Thinking of these, and then thinking of some sweet bits and pieces of the two, Li Wenji cried sadly, and even his brain was messed up now, and pictures gushed out, the more he recalled, the more painful it was, until the memory paralyzed him, and the silent crying accompanied by tears of regret was like a tribute to those floating pasts, in the turbulent vastness, those feelings and things were blown away on the day they met.

Li Wenji felt very uncomfortable and kept blaming himself. The six days of lost thought seemed like a century had passed, and Bai Rong's appearance gradually became clear in his mind, and finally her shadow was everywhere. In this short memory, a beautiful picture scroll has been precipitated, which is Li Wenji's best yearning, and he secretly swore in his heart that he would take good care of this picture scroll and never give up it in this life.

Just as he was about to decide to stay with Bai Rong in the hospital bed for the rest of his life, Li Wenji saw a business card, which was sent to him by a person named Yi Ke when he was in the hotel restaurant on the mountain in Liupo Village, and he still remembered that there was a lady at that time, who was very cold, and it looked like she was sending an advertisement to promote it, but the words that the woman said were engraved in Li Wenji's mind for a long time, "If you have any mental problems, you can find us!" ”。 Li Wenji kept repeating this sentence, as if he saw hope, and immediately hurriedly dialed the phone number on his business card.

The other end of the phone claimed to be Leng Yueyun's manager, and told Li Wenji that Bai Rong's illness could be treated, but conditions were needed.

Condition 1: Enter their project research team, because he Li Wenji is an expert in the Institute of Biology.

Condition 2: After entering the research group, you will be isolated from the world and will never be able to come out without permission.

Li Wenji was overjoyed, because of the conflict with the old man, so he made a decision almost instantly. He chose to agree, thinking that he would never have to see the old man again.

However, hatred is hate, Li Wenji still has the last trace of warmth for the old man, he wants to go back to Haizhou for the last time to say goodbye to the old man, and then disappear with Bai Rong and never come back.
