"Put it on, I'll go out and wait for you."
She jumped out as lightly as a swallow, and closed the door by the way.Gu Hengsheng pulled the clothes off his face and saw that Linguang's profile seemed a little rosy.
He flipped through the clothes, and saw that there was a pair of boxers with a cartoon tiger head printed on them.
"This guy..." He suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, "Are you still shy..."
Speaking of Linguang, he is not so clingy.
After dressing to keep warm, Gu Hengsheng put on a pair of fleece pants and a blue down jacket.Linguang was already waiting outside, the two went out together, and then walked towards the outside of the community.
Just left for a while, Linguang couldn't help muttering: "The street is so quiet today..."
"Yes." Feeling vaguely familiar with this sentence, Gu Hengsheng didn't think about it, "But having said that, Linguang, when are you going to take the third-tier knight exam?"
"The teacher said that I might be able to take the exam next year, um, the year after next at the latest." Linguang said, "The teacher said that my physical condition has reached the standard, and what I lack now is technical training and the development of Originium skills. "
"I want to take the exam next year, so I have to work harder!"
"Come on." Gu Hengsheng encouraged with a smile. Suddenly, he thought of another thing and asked, "What about the cultural knowledge?"
"I'm satisfied with this." Mentioning this aspect, Linguang raised his chest proudly, "Those books are not for nothing, the teacher is very surprised!"
"Excellent." Gu Hengsheng couldn't help applauding, and admired from the bottom of his heart, "I'm looking forward to the day you get the third-level certificate."
As he said this, several figures suddenly rushed out from the street next to him.
Linguang's expression suddenly changed: "Hang Seng, be careful!"
Gu Hengsheng was caught off guard and was immediately pulled aside by Linguang.He was a little surprised, and asked quickly: "What's wrong? What happened?"
No, I didn't feel the danger. Could it be that the other party is a master?
But if he is really such a master, why does Linguang...
He was a little puzzled, and then he saw that Linguang's eyes were beating all the time.After a while, she seemed to confirm that there was no danger, and she let out a long breath: "I misread it, it's all right."
Gu Hengsheng: "?"
"What happened during this time? Why are you so nervous?" He couldn't help asking, and at the same time, an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
Sure enough, Linguang spoke, and what he said was the news that Gu Hengsheng didn't want to hear the most: "Do you know the Wuzhou League?"
Gu Hengsheng's heart could not help sinking.
Of course he knew, the knight killer... Could it be that the Wuzhou League is here to carry out terrorist actions?
"I've never heard of it." He pretended to be confused, "What's wrong?"
"This is a terrorist organization that hunts and kills knights." Linguang whispered, "Recently they got involved in a big case in Casimir, and a retired fifth-rank knight was killed. It seems that they still have actions to come. The whole city is tense..."
what?
Gu Hengsheng was stunned, and after a while, he couldn't help asking: "How long has it been?"
"It's been a month." Linguang whispered, "The martial law has disappeared, and most of the citizens have relaxed, but I think the more this is the time, the more likely the other party will act."
"Just now I saw a shadow flashing away, I thought it was them..."
As she said that, she lowered her head, as if she was a little embarrassed by her jitteriness.
Gu Hengsheng smiled and patted her head: "It's okay, I won't laugh at you."
Linguang: "..."
For some reason, she always felt that Gu Hengsheng's smile was a little awkward.
"You're obviously laughing at me, but you haven't stopped." She muttered slightly dissatisfied.
Gu Hengsheng: "?"
The two walked and talked, and soon arrived at the Children's Paradise.The little girl had already finished school, and the two of them came a little late, but she was waiting in the guard room, and she didn't cry.
Fortunately, neither Gu Hengsheng nor Linguang looked too mature, otherwise, looking at them from a distance, they would look like a family of three.
Seeing that Gu Hengsheng came back, the little girl also seemed very happy, jumping up and down all the way home.Gu Hengsheng brought her some special products of Longmen. Although they were all cheap snacks and toys, they were enough to make her very happy.
He naturally also prepared a gift for Linguang, a set of new clothes from Longmen.He didn't know that Linguang would become so serious and rigid after half a year, otherwise he would definitely bring her some more interesting clothes to tease her.
In the evening, grandpa came home.Grandpa's gift was some good wine, a specialty from Yan, and vodka from Ursus.Grandfather was not a big drinker, so he only had a few sips of wine in the evening, which made him feel at ease.
The family chatted for a long time, until it was time to go to bed at night, and finally ended the dinner.
"Hang Seng, you don't have to wrong yourself when you get home, just say what you want." Confused, the grandfather instructed again, "But you must pay attention to hygiene..."
"Got it." Gu Hengsheng couldn't laugh or cry as he supported his grandfather.This wine was still strong, at least Gu Hengsheng rarely saw his grandfather commit such a crime.
"By the way." Grandfather suddenly remembered something, and said to Gu Hengsheng, "Hurry up and bring something, and go to your teacher Yi Lian's house to have a look."
"Her mother passed away the day before yesterday."
Chapter 118 Chapter 117
Yi Lian's mother, the old lady whom Gu Hengsheng had saved with the Holy Light, passed away due to illness.
She is old enough, and the experiences of her youth have already given her various hidden diseases, which make it difficult for her to maintain her health in old age and frailty.
In the past year, it was Gu Hengsheng who used the holy light to forcibly keep her alive.He was getting harder and harder, and she was getting weaker and weaker.
Now, her time has finally come.After all, she failed to survive this winter and died suddenly in the hospital.
In the early morning of the next day, when Gu Hengsheng came to Yi Lian's house, as soon as he opened the door, he felt a strong and sorrowful atmosphere.
Elaine looked much more haggard than ever, and her face, which had always been radiant, now looked dull and distressing.
At least Gu Hengsheng felt his heart twitch.
After opening the door, neither of them spoke.The air was eerily silent. After not seeing each other for a long time, Gu Hengsheng even felt a little strangeness between the two of them, not as close as they used to be.
It was at this moment that Gu Hengsheng suddenly realized that he and Yi Lian seemed a little too close in the past.
After all, he dared to ask her to help him do things like reselling stocks. This is something that can only be done with great trust.
"Teacher." Finally, Gu Hengsheng spoke first, "Please forgive me."
All he can say is that he is not very good at comforting people, and he doesn't know what to say to comfort the other party in this situation—after the other party has suffered the pain of losing his mother.
That's all he could say.
Elaine nodded slightly, with indelible sadness in her eyes.She stretched out her hand slightly, stroked Gu Hengsheng's hair, and said softly: "It's a pity, you're not around..."
"I'm sorry." Gu Hengsheng lowered his head and said, "If I hadn't gone to Longmen..."
"No, you don't need to be sorry."
Yi Lian suddenly stretched out her hand and hugged Gu Hengsheng's head in her arms.Gu Hengsheng subconsciously wanted to dodge, but then he forcibly suppressed the urge and let her hold him in his arms.
"It's not your fault, kid, it's really not your fault. On the contrary, I should thank you, I really should thank you. If it weren't for you, she wouldn't be able to walk through her old age without pain like she is now ..."
She was very excited and somewhat incoherent.Gu Hengsheng did not speak, and let her hold him, tears pattering down his back.
Pauline came out of the room, watching the scene with a complicated expression.She heard what her mother said just now, and also knew the real situation of her grandmother at that time.
If it wasn't for Gu Hengsheng, her grandmother would have died long ago.Her mother cared for Gu Hengsheng for this reason, but she always held hostility towards him...
She lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Gu Hengsheng's eyes.
It took a long time before Elaine finally calmed down from her excitement.She let go of Gu Hengsheng, looked at him with love and satisfaction, and said: "I heard from Pauline that you studied hard there, and you were No. 1 in every subject. Come to think of it, even if your mother is in heaven , It will also be very gratifying to hear that you have such achievements."
Gu Hengsheng lowered his head and said modestly: "It just happens to be lucky."
Gu Hengsheng helped Yi Lian into the room, and closed the door behind him.Pauline came, took her mother, and helped her back to her room.She signaled Gu Hengsheng to sit down on the sofa with her eyes, Gu Hengsheng did not refuse, he realized that Pauline should have something to say to him.
A minute later, Pauline came out again.She walked quickly to Gu Hengsheng's side, and after deliberating for a moment, she said, "I want you to come to grandma's funeral."
Gu Hengsheng was slightly surprised, but he did not refuse: "Yes."
Now it was Pauline's turn to be surprised: "You don't object?"
"Why should I object?" Gu Hengsheng smiled. "Your grandma is a respectable old man. She also helped our family a lot back then. I should come here."
"What's more, I can go to Longmen this time, thanks to your mother's help."
This can't be said to be a lie, after all, Gu Hengsheng went from house to house to see a doctor for the rich and powerful, and it was through the relationship of Yi Lian's mother.It's not a lie to pinch your nose and say such a sentence.
As for Elaine, it was true.
"That's good." Pauline breathed a sigh of relief, and then sat down next to him.Gu Hengsheng felt that she had something to say, but as expected, after a while, she whispered, "I'm sorry about what happened before."
"I shouldn't have targeted you like that."
Gu Hengsheng was slightly surprised, then smiled: "I don't mind."
The funeral of Elaine's mother was held as scheduled. According to her wish during her lifetime, Elaine hired seven strong black horses to carry her coffin all the way to the cemetery, playing suona and dancing.Herros has not issued a policy on funeral control, but there is a local legend in Casimir that people who are buried in the ground will become Originium after death-because of the public's general aversion to ore disease patients, this is unacceptable to anyone Vicious curse.
Therefore, the final result was nothing more than cremating her body, putting part of it in an urn, and then putting it in a coffin, completing the entire ritual process.
Gu Hengsheng followed the whole process, not because of the old lady, but because of Elaine's face.The old lady didn't have such a big face. Although he saved her back then, in all fairness, he didn't like her.
It was a kind of instinctive disgust. The experience of more than 20 years in two lives told him that this old lady was not someone worth getting close to.
Finally, the whole funeral was over.Order gradually returned to daily life, and Herros City is about to usher in its own New Year festival.
Celebrating the new year, even in the world of Terra, is a grand event in every country.It may have different specific dates, different folk names, and different celebration methods, but in the final analysis, it is a grand event that will be held when winter is coming to an end and spring is coming, in order to welcome the assembly of the recovery of all things.
This is also a rigid need in spiritual life after the people of all countries have experienced the test of the severe winter, and it is the inevitable result of social development to a certain level.Even though the technology is advanced now, mobile cities are running across the land, and most people no longer suffer from hunger and cold because of a certain year's harvest, but this festival is still preserved, giving the people a chance to revel.
However, this year's Elaine's family seems to have nothing to do with "carnival" at all.After all, the old man in the family had just passed away. Neither Elaine nor Pauline was in the mood to celebrate this year, and buying new year's goods was a hasty process, and they didn't even visit relatives and friends specifically...
In this cold year, Gu Hengsheng seemed to be the only visitor.
