Chapter 14 I Can't Resist

When Gu Mingyuan fell down, I was so frightened that I jumped out of the car. Seeing that Gu Mingyuan fell to the ground, his head was bleeding, his eyes were closed tightly, as if he was not breathing, I screamed in shock, squatted down and wanted to help him up .

Fortunately, the place where Gu Mingyuan fell was not far from our simple house. At that time, a neighbor was off work. When he saw this situation, he immediately told me not to move him, saying that Gu Mingyuan was old, and it would be dangerous to help him up immediately after he fell.

I was at a loss, but I knew that the neighbor worked in the small hospital not far away, and I instinctively felt that what he said should be right.

The neighbor stuffed Gu Mingyuan with a pill first, then opened his eyes and took a few glances.

A neighbor told me that Gu Mingyuan had suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and his symptoms were probably a stroke, so he had to be sent to the hospital immediately.

Of course I nodded.

But the neighbor also said that Gu Mingyuan has no official job and no unit can guarantee him, and he needs to pay a lot of money in advance to go to the hospital for this kind of disease.

I pulled out all the money I had on me, and stretched it out to my neighbors to ask if I had enough.

After I followed Gu Mingyuan for two years, Gu Mingyuan would give me a little pocket money to buy some things I like. I didn't move a penny of that money, and I still have a hundred or so in savings.

That is all my property.

Holding the pile of change I carried with me, I looked at my neighbor, and the hope on my face gradually faded.

The neighbor didn't say a word, but from his expression, I knew that this amount of money might not even be enough to plug my teeth.

I don't know what to do, I put the money into the neighbor's hands, I cried, tears flowed, and said to the neighbor: "Send grandpa to the hospital first, I will find a way for the money, I will definitely get it together Money, as much as you want!"

The neighbor sighed, pushed my hand back and said, "Xiaoqing, don't worry, they are all neighbors in the neighborhood. Let's send him to my place to have a look first. Think about it, does Old Man Gu have any relatives? It's best to Inform his relatives to come."

The neighbor called a few people over, loaded Gu Mingyuan onto the flatbed truck, and pushed him towards the small hospital.

I followed behind.

loved ones...

I don't know if Gu Mingyuan has any relatives. In the past six years, Gu Mingyuan has never mentioned his family, his affairs, or his family, and no one has ever come to him.

Maybe it was due to the bumps of the car, or maybe the medicine given by the neighbor had a little effect. Halfway through the walk, Gu Mingyuan opened his eyes.

His eyes were no longer as clear as before, although they were old, but cloudy with bright red.

He saw me and winked at me.

I hurried to his side, Gu Mingyuan tried his best to gesture to the east with his eyes, and gestured with his lips for a letter.

Then, he passed out again.

I don't know why, but at that moment, I understood what he meant.

A few days ago, when we passed by a vegetable market, we heard someone gossiping inside, and the two of us were mentioned in it.

The broken-mouthed old woman said, "I'm getting old, and Gu Mingyuan doesn't want to send me to school, so I just keep it because I'm afraid I have bad thoughts."

Another person said that the old man Gu himself has unknown background, maybe he is some kind of criminal, who knows what he thinks when he takes a girl in the house?

After going back that day, Gu Mingyuan didn't clean up his treasures as usual, but watched me practice calligraphy. After a long time, he sighed. He took my calligraphy brush and wrote a letter.

I did not see the contents of the letter, but I did see the envelope.

The envelope was written: Received by Principal Sun of Xiangcheng No. [-] Middle School.

Xiangcheng No. [-] Middle School is a well-known key middle school in Xiangcheng. When we go to the second garbage station, we will pass by that middle school.

I didn't think about it when I was young, but in recent months, every time I pass by there, I will take a closer look.

The direction Gu Mingyuan indicated was the direction of No.[-] Middle School.

I sent Gu Mingyuan to the hospital, and with the guarantee of my neighbors, the hospital did not ask me to pay the money, so Gu Mingyuan was admitted to the hospital, and the hospital bed was resettled with an injection.

Then, the neighbor motioned me to go back first.

I didn't understand it at first, but then I realized when I saw the disgusted eyes of the people in the same ward. We just came back from work and haven't taken a shower yet.

The neighbor said that he said he would take good care of Gu Mingyuan, and asked me to go back quickly, and then think about how to find Gu Mingyuan's relatives.

I know what he didn't say later.

Gu Mingyuan has already been hospitalized, but just those few bottles of needles, I heard other doctors tell neighbors, it is already more than 100 yuan, plus the hospitalization fee...

I ran back to our simple house, took a quick shower, and then ran to No. [-] Middle School with the letter.

I don't know who Gu Mingyuan's relatives are, but I know that Gu Mingyuan will never write letters for no reason.

Having been with Gu Mingyuan for six years, I deeply know that this old man will never do anything he is not sure about.

Since he can write letters, either he has something to do with Principal Sun, or there is a deal that allows Principal Sun to allow me to go to school.

I ran to No. [-] Middle School, knelt down, kowtowed and begged the old gatekeeper to take me to Principal Sun.

Principal Sun's face was full of excitement after reading the words on the envelope.

I didn't care about waiting for him to read the contents of the letter. I told him that Gu Mingyuan had a stroke and was hospitalized. It was very dangerous and he asked for money to pay the hospitalization fee.

I thought to myself, I don't want to go to school anymore, as long as Gu Mingyuan can be saved, Gu Mingyuan's conditions should allow President Sun to pay for the hospitalization.

Principal Sun was very surprised at the time, and then asked me: "Have you seen Fanhualu?"

Of course I know Fanhualu, it is one of Gu Mingyuan's favorite ancient books, it is a collection of handwritten poems.

I nodded and read one of the lines.

Principal Sun turned around and gave me a wad of money. After asking about the hospital where Gu Mingyuan lived, he asked me to go back first, saying that he would come over tomorrow.

I took the thousand banknotes and ran back to the hospital as fast as I could. I handed the money to the neighbor.

I thought that Gu Mingyuan would be saved.

However, that night, I stood by Gu Mingyuan's hospital bed, and I didn't dare to sleep.

But Gu Mingyuan remained silent. At dawn, when I went to the bathroom, he stopped breathing.

The doctor said that he died of sudden heart failure due to complications caused by a cerebral hemorrhage.

I don't understand the jargon.

All I know is that Gu Mingyuan is dead.

I sat blankly in front of Gu Mingyuan's hospital bed, my mind was blank.

Then, I was awakened by a burst of crying.

Principal Sun brought several people along.

Those middle-aged people started howling when they saw Gu Mingyuan's body.

But their howling was just like my grandma's back then. It sounded heartbroken, but not a single tear came out.

I looked at them, watched them cry, watched them say that they were Gu Mingyuan's son and daughter, and after watching them howl, I told Principal Sun that the ancient book should be regarded as Gu Mingyuan's inheritance and should be inherited by them. Principal Sun can pay for it if he wants it.

Twenty thousand copies.

I was in a groggy state that day.

After Gu Mingyuan's children came, they naturally went to the hospital to go through the formalities, and the neighbors took me back to our simple house.

The neighbor asked me to think about what to do in the future.

I don't know, I don't know what to do in the future, and I don't know how to think about it.

There was no time for me to think about it.

Because, half an hour later, Principal Sun and Gu Mingyuan's children arrived at our simple hut.

They said that Gu Mingyuan and I had no relatives, no reason, and no blood relationship. They said that they were adopted and had not gone through any adoption procedures.

Therefore, everything in that hut belongs to them.

Those books, those ancient books, those postage stamps, those ancient porcelain wine pots that made President Sun marvel after seeing them.

It's all theirs.

They called a car over, carefully loaded those things into the car, and moved them all away.

All that was left was the black teapot that I held tightly in my hand.

That teapot, Gu Mingyuan said, was to commemorate our meeting and to commemorate the good luck I brought him, so he said, it was a souvenir given to me.

I held it tightly and refused to let them take it away.

Gu Mingyuan's son hit me and tried to grab the teapot.

The neighbors couldn't see it anymore. The neighbor from the hospital stepped forward to persuade him, saying that I was still a child. After all, I had lived with Gu Mingyuan for six years, so you should leave me a thought anyway. This is also a friendship. Besides, Those ancient books and stamps are worth money, but this teapot is not worth much. How about, Gu Mingyuan can give this thing to me as a child to play with?

Principal Sun persuaded me softly and asked me to show him the teapot.

I let go.

After taking a closer look, President Sun said with regret that this is indeed a rustic earthenware pot, and the handwork is very rough, and it is worth 30 yuan at most.

At that time, Gu Mingyuan's son had a look of disappointment on his face, but when he saw that there were still a lot of stamps stuffed into the teapot, he cried out again.

Those stamps were when Gu Mingyuan was clearing the stamps on the envelope. I thought they looked pretty, so I asked Gu Mingyuan for them. They were all patterns of flowers and plants, most of which were orchids.

Principal Sun took out the stamps.

Just glanced at it, and said that these stamps are popular stamps, which look beautiful, but because of the large circulation, they are not worth much.

Such a pile of dozens of stamps is not worth as much as the worst stamp album in Gu Mingyuan's meticulous care.

After Principal Sun said this, and a few more neighbors were watching, Gu Mingyuan's son didn't rob him after all.

Ask Principal Sun to return the teapot and the stamps inside to me.

As suddenly as they came, they left like a whirlwind.

However, the simple house was completely empty.

Besides my little bed, me, and the teapot in my hand.

Gu Mingyuan's bed, the dining table, the entire bookshelf, and all the sundries, including the large water tank, were removed.

It was as if Gu Mingyuan had never appeared in this cabin before.

I looked blankly at the empty room, thinking to myself, it turns out that this room is so big, it turns out that it is so cold inside.

I sat there blankly, and then, I heard a neighbor talking outside the door.

Someone told the neighbor of the hospital that he found out that Gu Mingyuan was born in a family and was a famous scholar. In the 50s, he married a proletarian wife with the most popular status in order to protect himself, but he still didn't stop him. , was sent to the cadre school for reform.

This transformation lasted for more than 87 years. In [-], Gu Mingyuan came back, but because he was penniless, old, and sick, his wife and children refused to let him in and drove him out. come out.

Now, I know that Gu Mingyuan picked up a lot of valuable treasures by picking up trash, so...

Ever since Gu Mingyuan died, my eye sockets that had been dry all of a sudden became moist, and tears fell from the corners of my eyes one by one, dripping onto the teapot.

I hugged the teapot tightly in my arms and called out softly, "Grandpa."
