Chapter 40: An Indelible Wound

Liu Tianming, the captain Liu who directly transferred five million to buy his thousand-year-old ginseng strain at Professor Zhong's house.

Chen Gong just wanted to see his grandfather as soon as possible at this time, and he was in no mood to pay attention to other people at all, but Liu Tianming walked straight over.

"Chen Gong, come here, I'm afraid your grandfather is dying. Liu Tianming's face was a little anxious, and after seeing Chen Gong, he couldn't say anything, and pulled him away.

Chen Gong had too many questions in his heart, but when he heard Liu Tianming's words, he didn't care about anything, he followed Liu Tianming directly and rushed to the ward where his grandfather was.

Chen Zhongwen is really sick, it can be said that he has reached the stage of dying, on the way Liu Tianming has already told Chen Gong about Chen Zhongwen's situation, there are no other diseases, but people are old, to the point of running out of oil and lamps.

When the old man saw Chen Gong come in, his faint old eyes suddenly lit up, and his wrinkled face bloomed with a kind smile.

Chen Gong held back his tears desperately, stepped forward and held his grandfather's shriveled and cold hand tightly.

"Who is she?"

When Chen Zhongwen saw Xu Xinjie and Chen Gong coming in together, he stared at Xu Xinjie with his eyes and asked with difficulty.

At this time, the younger sisters Chen Juan and Wang Jiahui, who were guarding her grandfather's side, also saw Xu Xinjie and secretly marveled at Xu Xinjie's temperament and outstanding appearance.

Xu Xinjie didn't have any intention of disliking the old man, after she heard Chen Gong talk about Chen Zhongwen, she felt that the old man was very great and could cultivate two excellent grandchildren, so seeing Chen Gong holding the old man's hand tightly, his expression was so painful, she couldn't help but walk to the old man's bed and shouted: "Grandpa!"

"Grandpa, her name is Xu Xinjie, she is a doctoral student, and she is also my girlfriend. Chen Gong said in his grandfather's ear.

Grandpa smiled again, very happy, he looked at Chen Gong, then at Xu Xinjie, and then his eyes stayed on Wu Juan and Wang Jiahui for a moment, and two tears actually shed in his faint old eyes, which fell silently on the white bed pillow.

Grandpa struggled to raise his hand, as if to grasp something.

"Grandpa, what do you want, I'll get it for you!" Xu Xinjie hurriedly said.

The old man shook his head slightly, grabbed Xu Xinjie's hand, and then put her hand together with Chen Gong's hand.

Xu Xinjie put her hand in a boy's hand for the first time, she trembled in her heart and wanted to withdraw it, but when she saw the old man's appearance, she finally held back.

"Grandpa, look, my brother's girlfriend is so beautiful. Chen Juan on the side held back her tears and said to her grandfather, her eyes were red, and she had obviously cried many times.

Grandpa laughed again, and said with some slurred words: "Okay, okay, you have to live a good life in the future." ”

"Hmm!" Chen Gong nodded, then turned his head to Xu Xinjie and his sister and the others, "You guys go out first, I want to stay alone with grandpa for a while." ”

Touching his grandfather's hand, Chen Gong already felt that thick dead air, and he had to find a way immediately, otherwise his grandfather would really have to leave.

Although it was a little strange for Chen Gong's request, looking at Chen Gong's insistent gaze, Xu Xinjie and the others still withdrew from the ward.

Grandpa's body is not because of illness, but because of the exhaustion of life, Chen Gong knows that even if he uses spiritual power to treat his grandfather's body, it will not have any effect, cultivators are also people, not immortals, spiritual power can treat a person's illness, but it cannot change a person's fate.

Now the only hope is the big tonic pill in his hand, this is the only medicine that Chen Gong can take out now, all the supplies of the cultivator can be divided into four levels of law, treasure, spirit, and immortal twelve grades, the big tonic pill is a law-level low-grade medicine, which can replenish people's vitality and even extend a certain lifespan.

Chen Gong took out the medicine bottle of the big tonic pill and poured one out of it, and suddenly, the ward, which was originally full of the strange smell of disinfectant water and medicine mixed together, was immediately filled with a medicinal fragrance.

Chen Gong was overjoyed when he saw this, and prepared the big tonic pill in Ma *'s hand to feed it into his grandfather's mouth.

"Xiao Gong, where did you get this elixir?" Grabbing Chen Gong's hand, Grandpa didn't mean to swallow it, but asked Chen Gong a little excitedly.

Chen Gong knew that his grandfather was now in the stage of returning to the light, and if he didn't feed the big tonic pill again, he was afraid that the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Grandpa, let's eat first. Chen Gong brought the Great Tonic Pill to his grandfather's mouth, but the old man suddenly shook his head with a wry smile.

This made Chen Gong stunned, and then the old man said something that shocked Chen Gong: "This is a great tonic pill, but it greatly replenishes vitality and even prolongs life, but it is useless to grandpa, because grandpa once ate one." ”

"What?!" Chen Gong always thought that his grandfather was an ordinary and ordinary old man, but he didn't want him to know about the Great Tonic Pill and even eat one.

At this last moment, the old man's mind was unusually clear, with relief in his eyes, he touched Chen Gong's head, and said softly: "Grandpa is not a great person, the old immortal who gave that piece of cold ice jade pendant to grandpa made me eat a big tonic pill, so all these years, grandpa has not been sick." I didn't expect that my family's Xiaogong also had such a treasure, and my grandfather was very happy and could go with confidence. ”

Feeling that the last trace of his grandfather's vitality was also fading rapidly, Chen Gong fed the big tonic pill in his hand into his grandfather's mouth regardless of it, the big tonic pill melted in his mouth, and the medicinal power quickly spread to the old man's whole body, but under Chen Gong's spiritual sense, the powerful medicinal power could not stimulate the slightest vitality.

Chen Gong knew that he really had no power to return to heaven, and his grandfather was really leaving.

After Xu Xinjie and Chen Juan re-entered the ward, seeing that their two relatives had a good home, the grandfather slowly closed his eyes, left, and left this world with a smile.

Chen Gong felt as if the sky had collapsed, and the most important thing in his life had suddenly shattered. Chen Juan's uncontrollable cry and Xu Xinjie's low sobs sounded in his ears, but Chen Gong just held his grandfather's cold hand tightly and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Xu Xinjie went back to Rongcheng the next day, and the scientific research still needed to be taken care of, while Chen Gong was taking care of his grandfather's funeral in Zizhou.

In fact, Chen Gong, who was immersed in grief, didn't have the heart to take care of those at all, and all of this was basically done with the assistance of Liu Tianming and Wang Jiahui.

Ten days later, all the things were dealt with, even the house in his hometown was completely handed over to Shi Wangcai to deal with, Chen Juan followed Chen Gong to live in Rongcheng in the future, and in the last year of high school study, Chen Gong planned to find a suitable school for Chen Juan in Rongcheng.

Chen Gong, who had calmed down a little from the grief of losing his grandfather, remembered Liu Tianming who should not have appeared here.

"Captain Liu, although I don't know what you do, I still thank you for all this you have done for my grandfather. Chen Gong said sincerely.

Before his grandfather died, he was admitted to the best ward of Zizhou First Hospital, and there was a special medical team in the hospital to treat him, all of which was absolutely impossible for ordinary people to enjoy, and most of it was done by this mysterious Captain Liu.

"You're welcome, Chen Gong. Actually, I was very interested in you as a person, so I did some research, and it was completely accidental that I met your grandfather who was seriously ill. Liu Tianming was very straightforward.

"Why, is it because of that thousand-year-old ginseng?" Chen Gong's heart jumped, he didn't like to be targeted by people with official *.

Liu Tianming smiled, took out his mobile phone, clicked on a video file, and handed it to Chen Gong.

It was a video of a man smashing a sports car with his bare hands, and when the broadcast ended, the video was frozen on a close-up of the man's face.

Sure enough, impulsiveness comes at a price, although Chen Gong was mentally prepared for his last move at the intersection, he didn't expect to be approached so soon.

"What, Captain Liu plans to arrest me, or let me do research?" Chen Gong did not deny in vain, there were several cameras at the intersection at that time, and there was absolutely no situation of finding the wrong person.

"You're an anomaly, it's not unusual, and I'm not interested in getting you to do research, because so am I. Liu Tianming said lightly.

Seeing Chen Gong's somewhat surprised and shocked expression, Liu Tianming did not continue on this issue, but said: "It's not suitable for you to continue to talk to me about this issue now, and when you recover, I'll talk to you about it specifically." ”

Ten days later, Chen Gong took Chen Juan back to Rongcheng, he was going to find a good high school for Chen Juan in Rongcheng, it was summer vacation, and there was still time.

The housing in Woniu Villa has not yet been vacated, and nothing has been prepared, so Chen Gong can only let Chen Juan go to be with Hu Ningning.

When sending Chen Juan to Shangdu Garden, Hu Jianguo was not at home, and for Chen Gong's own sister, Hu Ningning showed unusual enthusiasm, and the two girls who were not much different in age quickly became acquainted.

Chen Gong settled Chen Juan and returned to school. On the surface, he had returned to normal, but there was still a heavy grief in his eyes.

Xu Xinjie has been helping Chen Gong to replace the plant culture liquid during this time, and she has always been worried that Chen Gong will not be able to hold on, from Chen Gong's mouth, she knows how deep the relationship between her grandfather and grandson is.

It's just that when she was worried about Chen Gong, Xu Xinjie never thought about how abnormal it was for her to worry about a person like this, and she was a man who hadn't known her for too long.

Seeing Chen Gong come back, Xu Xinjie felt that the stone in her heart fell, and took the initiative to step forward to say hello: "You're back!"

"Hmm. Chen Gong nodded, smiled a little reluctantly, and said, "It's been really hard for you this time." ”

"It's nothing, I should do more, after all, I am the main person in charge of the project. Xu Xinjie said.

Chen Gong no longer answered, just silently doing his own thing, but sometimes when he was free, he would be stunned for a while.

Xu Xinjie sighed secretly, knowing that Chen Gong had not recovered from the grief of his grandfather's death.

In fact, Chen Gong shouldn't have been so sad, but he really has too many regrets, he worked hard to bring up himself and his sister, and his grandfather, who is in his seventies, has not had a good life. In order to let his grandfather enjoy his old age in peace, Chen Gong even prepared a mansion at the foot of Woniu Mountain, and it was less than a week before he moved in, but his grandfather left, leaving Chen Gong with a permanent regret.

This regret brought Chen Gong a deep self-blame, blaming himself for not cultivating enough to take out a better pill, if there was a pill above the pill of Bao Dan or even the elixir, Grandpa might be able to live a few more years.
