Since the school holiday, Mai Wenxiang and Wu Hou left Hangzhou, and Gu Qinghui took Lao Li's ashes and the last few clothes with Lao Li's ashes and the last few clothes to Beijing about a week after they left, and was ready to send them to Lao Li's daughter in Beijing.

Listening to his mother, the person who wanted to intercept and kill himself on the viaduct that day was Liu Shiwu's person, Gu Qinghui, who was not stupid, thought about it a little, Liu Shiwu was holding a grudge against his son's broken arm and waiting for an opportunity to retaliate, but his revenge made Lao Li sacrifice his life.

Regarding Lao Li, Gu Qinghui never mentioned it now, Lao Li's death was a big blow to him. In the courtyard of a wealthy family, although he has been kidnapped more than once or twice since he was a child, when it comes to the servants around him who sacrificed because of himself, Lao Li is still the first, which is unforgettable for Gu Qinghui.

Gu Qinghui's solo north, Gu Jiajie intended to hone Gu Qinghui's ability, because this child has rarely left himself and Qi Anqiao since he was a child, and his ability to go out independently is not good, taking this opportunity, Gu Jiajie wants to see if Gu Qinghui can go to Beijing safely alone, and then turn back. But Qi Anqiao was not at ease, and after discussing with Gu Jiajie in the end, he decided to let Gu Qinghui's master follow Gu Qinghui in secret to protect him, so this pair of master and apprentice, one in the light and the other in the dark, stepped on the train to Beijing.

The train started in the early morning, and the new driver sent Gu Qinghui to the train station, Gu Qinghui followed the information on the ticket, passed the security checkpoint, found the platform, and when the train came, he followed everyone on the train, Gu Qinghui was groggy all the time, and he couldn't see the expression on his face with his head down.

found his place and sat down quietly, Gu Qinghui always held an army-green canvas bag in his arms, which was printed with Serving the People, and the bag contained several pieces of Lao Li's clothes and a jar of ashes. Adjusting to a comfortable sitting position, he leaned against the window glass, looked at the distant lights outside, and secretly thought to himself.

I don't know how to open my mouth to tell the news that Lao Li has passed away after seeing Lao Li's daughter, Gu Qinghui thought so in his heart, sighed weakly in his mouth, and the bag in his arms became heavier.

The voices on the train were very noisy, Gu Qinghui turned a deaf ear, he withdrew his gaze in the noisy environment, lowered his head and looked at the canvas bag, opened it and stretched out a hand to go in, and then moved his mouth slightly, and said in an inaudible voice, "Lao Li, I'm sorry for you, don't worry, your daughter, the Gu family is willing to raise her for a lifetime." ”

After finishing speaking, Gu Qinghui smiled lightly, stroking the porcelain altar in the bag while laughing, and then touching Lao Li's clothes, touching and touching, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, he lowered his head and looked at the canvas bag, and his hand took out a black and white photo from the clothes of Baonei.

With curiosity, Gu Qinghui brought this photo to his eyes, on which was a young couple, both men and women in Mao suits, sitting on a bench with a white wall in the background. The man's face is very young, about the same age as himself, it is not difficult to tell from the appearance, this is when Lao Li was young, there was a little girl holding two big thick braids sitting on the woman's lap, with big eyes and double eyelids, delicate facial features, and a particularly cute appearance.

Seeing this photo, it is not difficult to guess that this should be a family photo of Lao Li's family of three, but looking at this shabby black and white photo, it is at least an old photo from 20 years ago.

In the past 20 years, the little girl in the photo has lost her parents at this time, her mother and father have left her, especially her father's departure, she still doesn't know, I really don't know how to accept this cruel fact when she learns the news.

Gu Qinghui stretched out a finger and touched the photo, smoothed the wrinkled and yellowed corners, sighed again, put the photo back into the bag, and held it down with his hand.

Then he leaned his head against the window glass again, his eyes looked out of the window again, it was pitch black outside in the night, the train was moving on the track and made a "boom" sound, Gu Qinghui looked at the night in a daze, and slowly fell asleep, sleeping very deeply, the noise of the surrounding passengers did not disturb him at all, but no matter how heavy he slept, he reached into his bag and held the hand of the photo, and he did not move at all.

More than 2,000 miles from Hangzhou to Beijing, the train traveled until dinner the next day, and then slowly stopped at Beijing Station, Gu Qinghui was still asleep, if the attendant hadn't come to call him, it was estimated that he would have continued to sleep.

The sleepy-eyed Gu Qinghui pulled out his hand that was already numb to the point of being unconscious at this time, and the same movement for a long time made him sore, he stretched his waist with great effort, and saw the three words Beijing Station hanging on the aisle outside the window, knowing that this was the destination he had reached, so he moved his hands and feet, covered the canvas bag, stood up and limped off the train.

As soon as he got out of the car, the oncoming cold wind blew on Gu Qinghui's face, he shivered coldly, he was completely sleepy, and it was so cold in the dark.

The weather in Beijing is much colder than in Hangzhou, this kind of cold is not the same as the cold in Hangzhou, Gu Qinghui felt it as soon as he got out of the car, the cold air in Hangzhou was damp, but the oncoming cold here was full of dryness.

Gu Qinghui stood for a while, looked around, determined the direction, followed the passengers who got off the train to the exit of the station, walked out of the train station, came to the taxi pick-up location, casually took a taxi in the capital, said the address given to him by Gu Jiajie, and the driver drove Gu Qinghui into the night of Beijing.

The scenery of Beijing is different from that of Hangzhou, which is full of scenes that are completely different from those in the south, Gu Qinghui sat in the car, looked out the window again, and couldn't help but sigh, "This is Lao Li's hometown." Then he retracted his gaze and looked at the canvas bag, as if he was talking to Lao Li, and whispered, "Lao Li, the fallen leaves return to the roots, you are going home." ”

The driver in front drove the car through a corner, glanced at Gu Qinghui from the rearview mirror, first laughed a few times, and then said to Gu Qinghui in an authentic Beijing accent, "Young man, where did you come from? Look at you like this, the first time you come back to our Beijing City, right?"

Gu Qinghui retracted his thoughts, looked at the driver's master, and replied, "Well, yes, it's the first time I've come." After saying that, he continued to look out the window.

The driver said, "Hey, listen to your accent, Southerner, right?"

Gu Qinghui just moved his gaze out of the window, and had to retract his gaze, looked at the side face of the driver in the front row and laughed dryly, and replied, "Well, southerners, from Hangzhou." ”

"Hangzhou?" the driver shouted, "Hangzhou, that's a good place, how famous the West Lake is, I've lived half my life, and I haven't crossed the Yangtze River, alas! I really want to see it!"

Gu Qinghui smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing to look at." ”

The driver nodded, "Well, you make sense of what you say, after all, it's better to see the scenery than to listen to the scenery, you are tired of seeing your things, and you feel bored, just like our side, the Great Wall or something, we are also tired of seeing it, and we also feel bored, but after you outsiders came, they squeezed their heads and wanted to take a look." ”

Speaking of this, the driver turned his head and glanced at Gu Qinghui, and asked: "Young man, where do you want to go to play recently, I'll leave you a phone, if you go out to play, call me, I'll send you, make sure you don't get stuck in traffic and delay time, and the fare will give you a 20% discount, don't you think?"

Gu Qinghui shook his lips, and said in his heart Why did I say that I was so enthusiastic, it turned out that I came prepared.

"Let's see, I'm going to find someone first. Gu Qinghui leaned back weakly and closed his eyes.
