I, with a long knife in my hand, can only do one move

Page 483

As soon as the words fell, a figure sprang out from the end of the corner of the intersection, and ran over vigorously, at an astonishingly fast speed.

Seeing someone coming, Cheng Rang twitched his lips.

But no matter how many times he looks at it, he can't imagine that this guy is a 15-year-old ordinary high school student....

"How can there be a high school student who returns home from school at a speed that can break the Olympic sprint record every day?"

But the knotweed guy still doesn't consciously say that he is just an ordinary person, and this alone is quite appreciated by Cheng Rang.

Good boy, I have a bit of the demeanor of your elder brother and me back then.

"Yo, a few seconds late today." Cheng Rang raised his hand to greet the running Polygonum cuspidatum.

"Because I competed with the consultant teacher of the track and field club, I was delayed for a while, no big problem!"

"Consultant of the track and field club...competing sports?"

"Ah."

Cheng Rang showed a clear smile and said, "You won't break the world record again, right?"

"Hey~ It seems to be..."

"Your answer is really subtle."

Afterwards, Cheng Rang and Polygonum cuspidatum went to the flower shop together. After coming out of the flower shop, standing in front of the railing railing, Cheng Rang stared at the bouquet of white flowers in the arms of Polygonum cuspidatum, and suddenly said: "I said that Polygonum cuspidatum... have you touched it recently? What's unclean?"

"Unclean, what do you mean?"

To outsiders, the knotweed stick was not much different from the past, but in Cheng Rang's perception, there was a strong curse aura lingering all over his body.

"No...it's nothing." Cheng Rang narrowed his eyes, "It's still early before I go to work, so I'll go visit the old man with you today, don't you mind?"

"Ah, yes, I'm fine."

Accompanied by the ticking sound of the warning lights, the railway railing blocking the intersection was slowly raised.

"Your flowers are not for the nurse, are they?"

"Oh, did you see it?"

Chapter 8 Parting

Shanze Hospital, Ward 301, Polygonum cuspidatum Saito.

"I told you not to come, and don't keep buying flowers."

A hale and hearty gray-haired old man was leaning on the hospital bed, and the young man beside him was unpacking the bouquet layer by layer.

"Isn't it the same as usual... By the way, the flowers are not for you, but for the nurse."

"Then there are more idiots!"

Knotabagi Yourhito's tone was a little helpless, and he was more or less used to his grandfather's temper.

"What's wrong with your club, go to the club."

"It's really long-winded, it's over at five o'clock~ If I don't have time, I won't come to see you."

The conversation between the grandfather and grandson who seemed to dislike each other could make people feel a warm atmosphere. Cheng Rang, who was leaning against the door of the ward, also somewhat learned about his current situation from Youren.

Now the only relative around him is this grandfather who is lying on the hospital bed. Regarding the situation of his parents, Hu Zhang doesn't mention anything.

How happy it is to be able to miss you and talk about your loved ones for a moment, but it's a pity that Cheng Rang hasn't experienced this feeling for a long, long time.

The feeling of being cared for by elders, even if you feel long-winded and bored...they are also the last wall between you and death.

Once this wall falls down, anyone who can see the existence at the end of the road of life at a glance, everyone will feel confused and panic at that time...

Grandpa Hu Zhang inserted his arm, closed his eyes and said, "Okay, then just listen to me, an idler."

"I'm not interested..."

"Okay, listen up, I have one last thing to tell you. About your parents—"

"It's all - said -, I'm not interested."

Knotweed picked up the empty vase by the windowsill and walked to the sink by the ward.

The door of the ward was open, and the young man could see Cheng Rang leaning against the wall and smiling at him with a sideways glance.

Cheng Rang thought his smile was very [kind] at this moment, but Hu Zhang felt his back go numb.

What... that smile is kind of disgusting!

He immediately chose not to pay attention to the guy standing at the door, while cleaning the knotweed amidst the sound of water flow.

Vase, while continuing: "Please, old man, please stop acting cool before you die?"

"Men should die handsomely, do you understand, stinky grandson!"

"Don't lose your temper..."

Hearing Cheng Rang's snickering at the door, Hu Zhang sighed, his tone slowed down, and brought the filled vase to the window sill.

"It's fine as usual."

The old man stared at the back of the boy in front of the windowsill for a long time, snorted coldly, and turned his back to face him.

The setting sun outside the window coated the clouds and sky above the horizon with an intoxicating golden layer, but it was obviously a beautiful scene, but it made the boy unable to feel the heat from the summer of June.

My heart seemed to suddenly feel empty, and at this moment, Grandpa's gentle voice came from behind.

"Yuren..."

The boy didn't speak, but looked at the figure with his back on the bed.

"You are very powerful. If you want to save others, it is enough to do what you can. If you can save people, try to save them...It doesn't matter if you are confused, and don't mind if you don't get thanks."

Grandpa didn't give Youren a chance to interrupt, as if he wanted to tell him everything, he kept talking on his own.

"In short, you have to work hard to save more people..."

"You're going to die surrounded by people."

Knotweed slowly opened his eyes wide.

Grandpa let out a faint sigh from his mouth, which seemed to be mixed with all kinds of helplessness and regret, and pulled the quilt up.

"Don't be like me..."

The chirping of insects outside the window and the crowing of crows fell silent instantly, and there was no sound outside the ward.

It was so quiet that Polygonum cuspidatum could only hear its own heartbeat and breathing.

"......"

".....grandfather?"

The figure lying on the bed did not answer, as if sleeping peacefully.

The quietness made the boy feel panicked for a moment.

"grandfather....."

The uneasiness in Hu Zhang's heart became clearer, he slowly came to the side of the hospital bed, wanting to touch the shriveled body with his hands.

It's still warm.

It's still warm!

Like a boulder falling from his heart, the legs of Polygonum cuspidatum, which could easily break through the world record of human sprinting, felt weak, and he sat on the side of the bed all at once, making a creaking sound.

"Grandpa went to bed so early today...Really, he is so tired that he still has to educate me, hurry up...sleep..."

Violent sourness surged into Polygonum cuspidatum's nasal cavity and eye sockets, making him feel like a stick in his throat, and he lost his voice instantly.

He is very clear.

Although Grandpa's body is still warm, he can no longer feel breathing and heartbeat.

what is that?

What happened to grandpa?

According to the knowledge in the textbook.....

And common sense understanding of the situation.

A powerful hand suddenly fell from his shoulder, and the knotweed suddenly looked back, it was Cheng Rang.

Hu Zhang rubbed his eyes vigorously, and said, "Grandpa is asleep, be careful not to wake him up."

"Tiger stick."

".......what the hell?"

click-

Cheng Rang took off the pager on the bedside and handed it to the boy.

"Call the nurse."

"Cheng, didn't you say you could settle anything for me?! It's dinner time now, please help me wake up grandpa - he went to bed too early!"

Cheng Rang's eyes were calm, and his sleeve was being tightly held by the knotweed stick. He was holding it so tightly that he even felt unable to break free.

With a soft sigh in his heart, he remembered that no matter how good the boy in front of him was, he was only a 15-year-old kid with power far beyond ordinary people.

In the past 15 years, I have lived a normal, ordinary and warm life of ordinary people.

Even when the last relative around him left, there were only a few words left for him.

You will die surrounded by people.

At that moment, standing at the end of the life path of a young man named Knotabagi Yuhito, the wall that separated death had already passed away like drifting dust.

"Knotweed, knotweed..."

Cheng Rang wanted to pull the boy's hand away from him, but failed.

"Youren!"

His whole body trembled slightly, and he looked up at Cheng Rang's pitch-black eyes in front of him.

Like a black hole, it seems to be able to suck in one's own consciousness.

"The fate is over. This is the result of natural selection. Your grandfather passed away without any pain...Call the doctor."

"Didn't you say you could settle anything for me?" The boy's trembling voice was heart-wrenching, and only he knew how much confusion and helplessness was mixed in it.

"Yuhito...this is not an [event] nor a [cause]....it is a [result]."

"The lifespan of human beings is limited, so you must live as wonderfully as possible in this limited life. Your grandfather's regrets must be fulfilled by you."

"Only heroes die surrounded by people, and there is only one kind of heroism in the world, and that is knowing the truth of life and still loving it..."

Drip ring ring ring——

The phone rang, it was the nurse from Ward 301.

At the busy nurse's desk, a nurse hastily put down the case file in her hand and walked over, picking up the receiver.

"Come

What's wrong? "

There was no answer from the other side of the phone, so the nurse quickly confirmed.

"Hello, Mr. Knotweed!?"

"Are you here?!"

"......"

To accept the rightful death of others.

The young man standing in the ward with a microphone in his hand had tears in his eyes and sucked his nose hard.

The burning cloud-like setting sun outside the window finally dissipated its last afterglow, and slowly fell below the dark horizon.
