Chapter Two The Old Man
After hearing this, Chu Boyang stopped and looked behind him.
Behind him, an old man in white with a strong body and a boyish face stood on the platform and looked at Chu Boyang. When he noticed that Chu Boyang turned back, he gently twisted the beard under his chin with his hand and looked meaningfully.
By Chu Boyang.
It was meaningful, but he also smiled faintly. Chu Boyang saw in his eyes, but he looked completely shabby and smiling. With this look, he couldn't help but give the old man a disdainful look, and then,
Just take steps and move forward.
But this old man seemed to be deliberately going against Chu Boyang. When he saw Chu Boyang turning around, he said again: "Everything in the world has its destiny; there are people who believe it and people who don't believe it."
When Chu Boyang heard this, he had to stop again. At this time, he turned his head back and looked at the old man fiercely, and said: "Old man, please be careful what you say! Now is not the old society. If you don't look at it,
You are old, I will take you to the police station and punish you for promoting feudal superstition!"
After listening to Chu Boyang's words, the old man saw the anger on his face, but still smiled: "Young man, I don't have many days to go. If I go with you today, I can find a place to live and settle down.
"
At this point, he twirled his fingers and spoke again after a moment: "However, you and I are not done yet, and we will see each other again in the future, so I can't go with you this time. But I have a message for you now:
When the moon and mountains change, yin and yang change; when they move north to south, the fortune changes. Remember! Remember!"
After saying this, the old man turned around and left. When he was gone, another sentence came from afar: "Zhang Boyang, during the family sacrifice, don't forget to help me scatter some paper money for your father!"
Chu Boyang was already angry because of the old man's previous words. But now that he heard what the old man said again, he felt like cursing. However, he was not a hot-tempered person after all. When he chased forward
After a few steps, he suddenly remembered that the old man called him "Zhang Boyang". At this time, he couldn't help but think, this old fool couldn't have mistaken him, right?
Thinking of this, Chu Boyang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that since the old man admitted the wrong person, it had nothing to do with him, so why should he be serious? At this moment, his cell phone rang.
Hearing the ringtone of his cell phone, Chu Boyang took out the phone. But at this moment, he suddenly saw that his home phone number was displayed on the screen of the cell phone, and he couldn't help being shocked! In an instant, an ominous premonition came from him.
His heart rose, but even so, he still picked up the phone.
As the call was connected, the voice of Chu Boyang's mother Zhou Rong came over: "Boyang, will you have a rest today?"
"Yes! Mom, what's the matter? Why do you have time to call me today?" Chu Boyang asked on the phone with an anxious mood.
Zhou Rong did not answer Chu Boyang's words immediately. She paused on the phone for a moment, and then said in a trembling voice: "Boyang, if you want to rest, just go home! Your dad is in the hospital. He has surgery today.
Don’t let me tell you…”
Hearing this, Chu Boyang was stunned. He also unknowingly took the phone away from his ear. What Zhou Rong said later was no longer important to him.
.
Because he had clearly remembered the old man just now, he looked in the direction where the old man left, but the old man had disappeared.
After Chu Boyang hung up the phone, he immediately hailed a motorcycle near the station and asked the driver to take him to Qingquan County, the county seat.
In fact, this is one of the reasons why the Han family disagrees with Han Ruoxuan's relationship with Chu Boyang. Because Chu Boyang's family lives in Qingquan County, not in the city; and Chu Boyang's father is just a traditional Chinese medicine doctor with mediocre medical skills.
They were not high-ranking officials, but they felt that being with Han Ruoxuan on Chu Boyang's terms was completely out of reach.
The motorcycle drove Chu Boyang directly to the hospital where Chu's father was staying. When he got off the car, his sister Chu Yueru was already waiting in front of the hospital.
As soon as Chu Yueru saw Chu Boyang, she rushed over. She put the money in her hand into the motorcycle driver's hand and grabbed Chu Boyang: "Brother, let's go! Dad can't survive."
.”
After hearing this, Chu Boyang asked dumbly: "It won't work anymore? Didn't you mean hospitalization for surgery?"
"Yes...it's surgery." Chu Yueru nodded heavily. Before she could speak again, tears were already flowing down her cheeks. When she looked at Chu Boyang's anxious and anxious face
With a surprised expression, he suppressed his words and said, "Brother, our dad has advanced lung cancer. He pulled it out right after he was pulled in. The doctor said there is no need for surgery..."
Hearing this, Chu Boyang suddenly felt dizzy. At this moment, he seemed to see the old man at the station looking at him with a smiley expression. If there was a regret medicine to take, he would definitely take it.
Go back and ask the old man what's going on!
Under the leadership of Chu Yueru, Chu Boyang quickly rushed outside the ward. At this time, his seventh aunt, eighth aunt, and a large group of relatives had gathered outside the ward. When they saw Chu Boyang,
It was inevitable that they would lament and talk again. But Chu Boyang was not in the mood to listen to their words at all now, so he just rushed into the ward.
After Chu Boyang saw Zhou Rong, the first thing he said was to ask anxiously: "Mom! What's wrong with my dad?"
After listening to Chu Boyang's words, Zhou Rong just repeated Chu Yueru's words. As for the other words, she had nothing to say. In her opinion, Chu's father got sick very quickly, and there was no preparation beforehand.
After Chu Boyang listened to Zhou Rong's words, he sat helplessly beside Chu's father. He looked at his father on the hospital bed with a sad face. Although Chu's father was not a capable man, the relationship between him and Chu Boyang
However, his feelings are very good, and Chu Boyang's character is also inherited from him. They both have the same indifference to fame and fortune, and the same need to live in peace with the world.
Under the influence of the anesthetic, Chu's father did not wake up. At this moment, he lay there quietly and fell asleep.
Chu Boyang looked at Chu's father's pale face and couldn't help sobbing for a while while sitting there. When he calmed down a little, he thought of Han Ruoxuan in his heart.
Chu Boyang immediately called Han Ruoxuan. He knew that he would not be able to return to town within a short time during this trip home, so he needed to let Han Ruoxuan know his whereabouts to prevent her from being anxious and sad. However, Han Ruoxuan's phone call
The call was not connected as expected, but the sound of the other party's phone being turned off was heard.
Hearing the voice on the phone, Chu Boyang took a breath. He considered himself not a superstitious person, but now he began to believe the old man's words. Now, the old man's words kept spinning in his ears.
, it’s like beating a small drum in your heart that won’t stop.
At ten minutes past midnight, Chu Boyang woke up from his nap. He hung up the phone to Han Ruoxuan first. When the message "The user you dialed has turned off" still came from the phone, he even thought of calling Han Ruoxuan's home.
.However, as soon as he called up the phone number, he saw a low battery warning prompt, and then the phone automatically shut down.
Helpless, Chu Boyang sighed. Now, what he wanted to do most was to write down Han Ruoxuan's home phone number with a little memory. But when he raised his head, he saw that Chu's father on the hospital bed had opened his eyes.
He opened his eyes and looked at his face quietly.
"Dad! You...are you awake?" At this time, Chu Boyang was no longer in the mood to call Han Ruoxuan, and immediately focused all his attention on Chu's father.
"Boyang, don't shout!" Father Chu said while looking at Zhou Rong and Chu Yueru who were sleeping on the other side of the hospital bed. He sighed slowly, then turned to Chu Boyang and said,
"Am I the one who got you into trouble? Your girlfriend stopped answering your calls?"
"No! It's nothing!" Chu Boyang couldn't help but feel sad when he heard Chu's father say this. However, he still tried his best to hold back his tears and said: "Dad, her phone is just out of battery. I'm a little bit
I just miss her."
"Hello... that's good." Chu's father took a breath as he said it. After a moment of pause, he tried his best to smile and said to Chu Boyang: "Boyang, you are the hope and hope of our Chu family.
Proud. You have to learn from... from you..."
Although Chu's father didn't find the right words, Chu Boyang knew that Chu's father wanted to talk about Han Ruoxuan's father, Han Tiantao. He found such a treasure as Han Ruoxuan, so he would not fail to tell his family.
At this time, Chu Boyang couldn't help but nodded. Although he didn't want to participate in the battles in the officialdom and just wanted to live an ordinary life, he couldn't let the old man leave with regrets, so he still agreed to Chu's father's words.
Seeing Chu Boyang nod, Chu's father showed a somewhat relieved expression on his face. After a while, he whispered again: "Boyang, dad is incompetent, don't blame me! Cough, cough...
·In the secret room of the study, there are two volumes of manuscripts passed down by our ancestors. They may be of some use to you in the future. After I leave, you should take them and study them carefully!"
After hearing Chu's father's words, Chu Boyang still nodded solemnly. He knew more or less about the Chu family's family history. When he was young, he heard his grandfather say that he helped people look after him when he was young.
The story of Feng Shui, when he grows a little older, he will see Father Chu hiding in the study in his spare time, studying two yellowed scrolls furtively.
However, he had not read the contents of those two scrolls before. Regarding them, Chu's father had always kept secret about them. Especially after he was admitted to the civil service, Chu's father did not mention the two scrolls.
Seeing Chu Boyang nod, Chu's father seemed relieved. Then, he sighed softly and said: "Boyang, your character is similar to mine, and you are both a person who has nothing to do with the world. You
And remember, don’t show those two volumes of letters in front of others. Although this is not the past, you... you are a public servant and you must avoid suspicion..."
When Chu Boyang heard this, he saw Chu's father stretching out his hand. After saying this with great difficulty, he immediately reached out and took his hand.
At this time, Chu's father took a few breaths, then opened his mouth as hard as he could and said to Chu Boyang: "One more thing! Our surname is not Chu, but Zhang..."
