Chapter 16 Sympathy or Calculation
I silently walked back into the room, closed the door, and slowly squatted down with my back against the door.

If I was purely sad for Gu Mingyuan yesterday, then now, I finally understand Gu Mingyuan's last look.

There was deep worry in those red and cloudy eyes.

Gu Mingyuan was worried, he just left me just like that...

But no matter how reluctant, no matter how worried.

Gu Mingyuan is dead.

And I can't make Gu Mingyuan feel at ease, and I still have to worry about me in that underworld.

half a month...

I have not come to a dead end, I still have half a month.

The flatbed truck was lost at the garbage station, and I guess it can't be found.

Even if I get it back, I won't be able to search through the waste by myself.

I have to find another job.

Now I am no longer the little girl who first came to Xiangcheng and knew nothing. Although I have never been to school, Gu Mingyuan has taught me far more knowledge than school can learn. Moreover, my current body shape, if I say I am 16 years old, others should believe it too.

I could just go find another job.

"Bang bang!" There was a knock on the door.

I rubbed my face, stood up and opened the door.

It was the neighbor who mentioned me in the morning, I always called him Uncle Luo.

"Have you been bullied?" Uncle Luo asked, looking at me and then at the empty door.

I said softly, "I lost my car. I'll find something else to do."

Uncle Luo sighed, handed me two photos, and said, "This, old man Gu asked me to take a photo for you a while ago, he said, it's a birthday present for you, here you are, keep it well, don't Forget about him."

I took the photo and just glanced at it, and my eyes turned red.

The photo was taken on a day in early autumn. Gu Mingyuan asked me to put on new clothes and took me and Uncle Luo to climb Yuelu Mountain. In Yuelu Academy, Uncle Luo took the photo for us.

One is a photo of the two of us together, and the other is a photo of him alone.

He stood in front of the main hall of Yuelu Academy. Although his clothes were simple and outdated, his posture with his head raised and his face slightly smiling showed a sense of calmness and ease.

"You keep this, it's just a thought." Uncle Luo sighed and said, "Xiaoqing, if you want to find a job, you can go to Yuanjialing to look for it. try to find."

I nodded and said thank you softly.

I understand what Uncle Luo means.

This area is going to be demolished soon, so not only this simple house, but people like Uncle Luo who are renting must also find another place. It is impossible for them to help me more.

Moreover, with the development of the city, this area has been in a lot of chaos this year. As soon as Gu Mingyuan's incident happened, someone came to dig the house, and when the neighbors next to him moved out, those people didn't know what they would do. What's up.

Go to the other side of the city, to a place where I don't know that Gu Mingyuan and I have such a relationship.

is the best for me.

"Hey, you're still a child at your age." Uncle Luo sighed again, took out ten yuan from his pocket and gave it to me, and said, "Take it, you've called me uncle for two years, and uncle can't bear it." , can't help you any more."

I wanted to shirk it and say that I still have some money, but thinking about the future, I still took the money and said in a low voice: "Forget it, I borrowed it from uncle, and I will definitely pay it back in the future."

I know that this statement has no credibility at all, not to mention my age, but even after we parted here, I don’t know if we will meet again in the future.

However, I say this sincerely, no matter what happens in the future, I will always remember it.

Uncle Luo smiled, looked into the room from the top of my head, and said, "Well, it looks like, hey, everyone around here knows about the teapot you kept. Anything in Gu Mingyuan's hands is worth tens of thousands, and your teapot is probably not missing."

I was surprised and said, "Tens of thousands? Didn't Principal Sun say that it's worthless?"

Principal Sun was an expert at first glance, and he didn't seem to be lying for me at the time.

With the attitude that he even said that the water tank was valuable at that time, it is impossible to let go of anything he thinks is valuable.

Uncle Luo sighed softly, and patted me on the shoulder: "Xiaoqing, you are still young, remember from now on, people's hearts are the most unpredictable, and rumors are the most unpredictable. We all know that if the teapot is valuable, Then the Gu family will definitely not let it go, but if the words pass through the mouths of several people, you don't know what it will be like."

Uncle Luo paused for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "I just heard this morning that old man Gu's son said that he left Gu Mingyuan's most valuable thing in your hands."

I was startled, a layer of sweat broke out on my forehead, and said anxiously: "He, why did he say that, he even took that tank away!"

It was impossible for him to know that Gu Mingyuan had left manuscripts, and, with their eyes only seeing money, it was impossible for him to know the preciousness of Gu Mingyuan's manuscripts.

"You, you are still a child." Uncle Luo sighed again, scratched his head and said, "Hey, let me explain to you, everyone in our area knows that you were adopted by Gu Mingyuan, it was Gu Mingyuan Bringing up with one hand, regardless of whether you are related by blood or not, this kind of friendship is not wiped out with a word from their Gu family. Moreover, when picking up those things, you two went together. Even if you don't talk about friendship, you just According to the harvest, it cannot be said that those things belong to Gu Mingyuan, but not yours. So, a few of us neighbors wanted to seek justice for you. I went to consult a lawyer yesterday. After the Gu family found out, Just let it out, and immediately found a better lawyer... Hey, this rumor spreads faster than the truth, even if we can explain it for you, it can't stop some people from thinking about it."

I stared at him blankly, then bowed deeply to him: "Thank you!"

"Hey, don't be like this, we didn't help you, and I didn't want to deal with you." Uncle Luo said with a little apology on his face: "The lawyer on the other side is too good. , I communicated with them with a servant, and later my friend said that even if I gave him a [-]% advantage, he would not be able to fight this lawsuit."

[-]% benefit...

At that time, I didn't know the meaning behind what Uncle Luo casually revealed.

At that time, my heart was full of gratitude to Uncle Luo.

However, gratitude is all gratitude, I still keep in mind Gu Mingyuan's teaching, don't say anything that shouldn't be said.

That night, I packed the quilt and my own clothes into a big bag. In the silence of the night, I secretly went out with the bag on my back. After digging out the bag in the wild, I went out The other side of the field is gone.

I didn't go to Yuanjialing with him at noon the next day as I told Uncle Luo. Instead, I took advantage of the dead of night and walked up the trail alone, and then turned into the other side of the city from there.

It was only a few years later that I realized how wise my idea was at that time.
