The girl still didn't believe it, looked at Gu Qinghui with a suspicious face, paused for a long time, and asked, "How do you prove that you are my father's friend?"

Gu Qinghui lowered his head and thought about it, as if he didn't have any objects or secrets that could prove that he and Lao Li were acquaintances, it was inevitably difficult to do it at the moment, raised his head and looked at the girl who was still unaware, and said with a painful face, "I didn't lie to you, but I don't know how to prove it, but you should know what your dad is doing in Hangzhou, my surname is Gu, do you know this?"

The girl shouted uncertainly, "Gu Qinghui?"

Gu Qinghui's eyes moved slightly, and he nodded in response, "That's right, it's me, how do you know?"

The girl naturally opened a door, got out of the way, looked left and right at the street outside, and then looked at Gu Qinghui and said, "I heard my dad talk about it on the phone before, he said that his boss's surname is Gu, and he is about the same age as me, and he is a handsome guy. ”

"Come in quickly, what are you doing in a daze, those bastards will definitely come later. Seeing that Gu Qinghui hadn't been able to comprehend, the girl who motioned for Gu Qinghui to come in urged and said, "Hurry up, don't ink, if you have something to say." ”

Gu Qinghui licked his lips, glanced down at the canvas bag, put his palm on the porcelain altar, and said in a low voice of pain, "Lao Li, go home." Then she raised her head and walked into the courtyard with a solemn face, and then the girl immediately closed the door, and took a very thick stick from it and put it against the door.

After the girl did all this, she turned around and patted the dust on her hands, walked towards Gu Qinghui, and asked casually, "Why did you come by yourself? What about my father? It's almost the New Year, and you haven't come back?"

Gu Qinghui shook his head woodenly, turned around to look at the girl, held up the canvas bag with both hands, and slowly raised it in front of him.

The girl hesitated, "What are you for? What is this?"

"A few of your dad's clothes, and a jar of ashes. Gu Qinghui said expressionlessly, but his heart was already numb, he thought about how to say these words, as if no matter how long he had been brewing, it would be difficult to speak, and even said that it would take a long time to prepare for the girl in front of him, but when it was time to say it, he didn't expect that he would speak so smoothly and fluently.

During the period after Lao Li's death, Gu Qinghui has been living with self-blame and guilt, on the one hand, Lao Li's death has caused a lot of pressure on himself, and on the other hand, because of the girl in front of him, Gu Qinghui doesn't know how this girl will react after learning that her father died.

The girl looked at Gu Qinghui's eyes, her pupils shrank in the night, and she asked in a low voice, "You just said, ashes?"

Gu Qinghui looked at the girl in front of him, a few tears calmly drew out of his eyes, and he nodded lightly in the faint light of the night.

The girl gasped and her shoulders trembled, "He's dead?"

Gu Qinghui said in a trembling voice, "I'm sorry...."

The sudden blow deeply hurt this tenacious girl, I saw that she couldn't control her body, took two steps back, sat on the ground with her buttocks, opened her big eyes full of tears, looked at Gu Qinghui and roared: "I don't believe it, you lie!"

Gu Qinghui knelt on the ground, took the ash altar out of the bag, and put it on the flat ground between the two, and then kowtowed heavily from the ash altar to the girl not far behind the ash altar, and said: "Lao Li sacrificed himself in order to save me, my Gu family is sorry for Lao Li, and even more sorry for his daughter, my dad said, if I can, I hope I can take you to Hangzhou, he will find you the best school, the best environment, and give you the best future." ”

The girl sitting on the ground couldn't cry, shook her head and said, "I don't believe it, I don't believe it, you must lie to me, my dad knows martial arts, he won't die!"

Looking at the girl in front of him, Gu Qinghui had never felt so powerless, he really wanted to say that he was lying to her, but even if he concealed it, what was the use, this pain would only become more and more painful as he concealed it for a long time.

Gu Qinghui was silent for a long time, listening to the girl's crying, and finally affirmed again, "It's all true." ”

The girl yelled, crawled on the ground to the edge of the urn, held the altar in her arms, and cried hysterically, the voice was harsh and thrilling.

Gu Qinghui didn't know how to comfort her at this time, maybe not bothering, it was the best comfort, he was afraid that the girl would be impulsive and do something unexpected, so he kept silently staying by the crying girl's side, Lao Li was no longer there, if Lao Li's only daughter also had an accident, Gu Qinghui would not be happy in his life.

In the dark night of Beijing, in the remote residential area, in this courtyard that covers a good area, a man and a woman spent the first half of the night in the cold winter.

In the second half of the night, Lao Li's daughter had stopped crying, but she was still sobbing in a low voice regularly, and the tears on Gu Qinghui's face had dried up, and even a thin layer of ice was frozen on her face because of the cold weather.

There was a noise outside the gate, and the sound was footsteps, and there were more than one or two people, and occasionally there was the sound of someone talking, and the sound was not deliberately suppressed. The time to practice martial arts with the master is still too short, and the internal force and true qi have not yet taken shape, but fortunately, the facial features have been significantly improved, and the ear power has improved a lot compared to before, so the content of the conversations of those people outside was also heard by Gu Qinghui through the door.

Outside there was a flattering voice talking,

"Brother, the door has been closed here, that girl is smart, thinking that if the door is closed, others will think that she is not at home, how can this trick deceive me, these days I have been watching day and night, and found that this girl does not show up during the day, and at night, she will come out, it is estimated that there is nothing to eat at home, and she does not dare to come out during the day, so she can only come out at night to forage for food..."

Then the voices of several people echoed, most of them were some, "I don't know the height of the sky." "Something I don't know. "Don't even give money, this kid is really stupid. "Wait.

Another voice with a little majesty sounded, it should be the "brother" in the mouth of the person who spoke just now. ”

This man said, "I heard that the owner of this courtyard is not in Beijing now, and this one child may not be able to be the master at home." ”

The flattering voice sounded again, "What's the point that can't be the master, the contract is signed in black and white, press the handprint, and then take the money to change places to live? By the way, brother, there was a cry in this courtyard just now, and the crying is called a sad one, I guess, it is the girl who cried." ”

"Oh, why are you crying?"

"I don't know, it's terrible to hear, maybe it's a dead father. ”

Several people burst out laughing, amused by the joke.
