after death strike

Although he talked with many people and heard a lot of impressive experiences, Li Zhizhi still failed to get any inspiration from them.After all, applying human experience to cats is tantamount to fantasy.

But his starting point was too fairytale.

After meeting Tian Lizi, Li Zhizhi really wanted her to reunite with the white cat.He also believed that with the character of the little girl, she was not the kind of person who should change her attitude once she found something strange about the cat.But the cat can't speak human language, he has no way of knowing the reason why the cat ran away from home, so he can't "convince" it to go home.

It was definitely a spiritual animal, and Li Zhizhi felt that if he was forced to take it to meet Tian Lizi's family, the cat would definitely sneak away before then.

Judging from his experience today, most homeless people leave home because of their family circumstances.Is it because the cat ran away from home because it realized that it would cost a lot of money to raise itself? ——This is absolutely impossible, no matter how human a cat is, it will never know what money is.

Seeing that his thoughts were getting more and more erratic, Li Zhizhi immediately turned over and got into Awang's arms.Forget it, think about it tomorrow.Today he is exhausted to death.

Just when he was dazed and about to fall asleep, something flashed through his mind suddenly, which made him open his eyes in shock, and couldn't help blurting out:

"Why didn't I think of him!"

"Who?" Ah Wang, who was also about to fall asleep, was woken up by his voice, and then repeated his words in his mind, and the drowsiness was immediately driven away. "Who?" he asked nervously again.My boyfriend is calling someone else in his sleep, what can I do? !

"No, you continue to sleep." Only then did he realize that he was too excited, and Li Zhizhi took the initiative to offer a comforting goodnight kiss, and only then did he lull him to sleep.

As for the person he thought of—naturally, tomorrow was left for him to get close to.

Taking advantage of the last twilight on the horizon, the old man whose figure was outlined by the afterglow walked slowly to the door.Although he is old, his strength is still there, and he can pull out more than half of the iron sliding door with one hand.Just as he joined the other hand and was about to completely close the iron door of the asylum with both hands, a young pale hand pressed horizontally on the iron door, stopping his movement——

The old man raised his head in confusion, and looked along the hand, only a slightly familiar face of a handsome young man.

There was a friendly smile on that face, with an apology for disturbing him, and an unchanging kindness and equality. I have to say that although his appearance and temperament are already very conspicuous, what makes him shine even more is his Attitude towards others.

"Liang...Old Mr. Liang, is it convenient for us to chat?" The young man smiled and offered him an invitation that surprised him but did not displease him.

In three months, Liang Kaiyuan will be 72 years old this year, and this is already the sixth month since he left home.

If you had to ask him how he felt about being away from home for half a year, then Liang Kaiyuan would definitely answer with the three words "no regrets".

"I really, really don't regret it. I even think that this decision is the wisest one I've ever made in my life." Liang Kaiyuan touched the thermos in his hand.Several clear scratches can be seen on the surface of the cup with the naked eye, and the plastic cup lid is old in color—just like its owner, it has been old for a long time and is getting old.

He lived in the shelter, and there was an unused utility room in the yard, which was cleaned up for him to live in temporarily.It was almost evening, and the staff of the shelter had already left work, but the whole yard was not silent, thanks to the occasional animal calls.

The old man and Li Zhizhi were sitting in the yard, with the low plastic stool he took out from the room sitting under their buttocks.The gap between the two is just enough to sit down or lie down a dog.They all faced the cages that housed the stray animals, and occasionally stopped talking to listen attentively to the calls of the animals.

People like Li Zhizhi can at most distinguish between three types of barking: cat barking, dog barking, and other animal barking; but old man Liang is completely different, he can even hear the two whimpers of the same length coming from Issued by two different breeds of dogs.This superb hearing ability can be called a unique skill, which made Li Zhizhi feel admiration and emotion at the same time.

If it is not a person who has been dealing with animals for a long time, he cannot have this unique skill.

This also proved one point from the side: Both those animals and old man Liang have been here for quite a long time.The only difference is that the former is homeless, while the latter left home voluntarily.

When he learned that old man Liang also left home on his own initiative, Li Zhizhi was not as surprised as he was at first.Although not rigorous and authoritative, in his survey, homeless people who voluntarily left home still accounted for almost the majority.

It's just that the reason why old man Liang ran away from home was something Li Zhizhi had never heard of.

"At the end of last year, I suddenly felt unwell." The old man Liang narrated flatly, "At first it was just physical pain, here and there; Old, there are more problems, I didn't care about it at first, I just thought it was an old problem."

It was only after the conversation that the old man seemed dull, but he was not.Completely different from his clumsiness when he was reprimanded by the staff, he spoke in an orderly manner, and he did not have the slightest bluntness when talking to the old man.Under his calm tone and gaze, the simple sentences seemed to be inclusive of many things at a deeper level.

This is a gift given to him by time, and it is also the calmness that Li Zhizhi cannot have at this time, no matter how smart and talented he is.

"What happened afterwards?" Old man Liang raised his head slightly and looked towards an unknown place in the sky, as if he was flipping through his memory. "Afterwards, he often had a fever. Intermittently, once every two or three days, the most serious one The fever went away in the morning, and it started again at night."

Li Zhizhi listened to his narration silently.In his opinion as a "professional", people of Liang's age have weakened immunity, and their functions have begun to decline slowly in all aspects. They have started to have repeated fevers and body pains, and there are eighty to nine out of ten cases of cancer. serious illness.

Sure enough, Old Man Liang's next words confirmed his conjecture.

"It was so serious that my son took me to a big hospital in the city. He said that it was very difficult to get a number. I had never had a few major checkups in my life, so he took me there," Old man Liang couldn't help shaking his head when he mentioned this, "What a waste of money! If I knew I couldn't be cured, I would definitely not let him spend this money for nothing."

Old man Liang is most proud of his son, who can break out of the village and work in the county town, which is enough for him to boast for a long time.His wife passed away more than ten years ago, and his only son was married and living in the county. He originally wanted to take him to live with him, but he refused.Unaccustomed to life in the city, and unable to let go of the land at home, old man Liang has been living alone.If his son hadn't found out that he was seriously ill when he came back to visit, with his habitual frugality, he might have persisted until the end.

"I saw it for two days and spent a lot of money, but in the end the doctor just prescribed me medicine and came back. I asked him what the disease was, and he said there was no major problem; I asked my son, and he told me the same." Old man Liang smiled, and he didn't know who he was pitying in his cloudy eyes, "I'm his father! Can I not see that he is lying?"

"When he came back from the hospital, he refused to let me go home and live at home. He insisted on letting me stay. But he, his wife, and my grandson all have their own lives. I have one and a half feet in the coffin. Man, can you have the nerve to live here?" Old man Liang shook his head, "Later, I took advantage of the couple going out to work and my grandson going to school, so I secretly took a look at his hidden medical records."

Although he had already guessed it, Li Zhizhi still felt that he couldn't bear to listen to it anymore—rarely, he recalled a person who was very important to him.

"Although I only graduated from elementary school, my wife also died of this disease——Can I not recognize the word 'cancer'?" Old man Liang laughed, his old face was full of childlike joy and excitement. proud.

Patients with terminal cancer like old man Liang are generally not admitted to the hospital. They usually tell their family members about their condition and ask them to take the patient home.One is that the spread of cancer cells has been unable to recover, and the other is that since the time left is running out, instead of letting patients continue the useless treatment with fear, it is better to let them go through the last days with peace of mind accompanied by their families.

"I also knew that I was running out of time, so I gave up the idea of ​​going home. It is also a good thing to spend more time with my grandson."

It can be seen that old man Liang did not give up on himself because of his terminal illness, nor did he use wandering as a way of self-exile like some people Li Zhizhi met.He is so open-minded that he is almost optimistic, and life and death can no longer restrain him.

But why did he choose to leave home and wander around like this?

As if seeing the doubts in Li Zhizhi's heart, old man Liang sighed, but he didn't put away his smile—his smile was gratified and thoughtful, "My son is as stubborn as me. I lived in his house for two weeks. One night when I got up at night, I heard him and his wife arguing. I wondered, they have a very good relationship, and his wife is also very gentle, so why would they quarrel? I only found out after listening secretly, that silly boy actually wanted to sell the house and take me to the imperial capital for medical treatment."

His ending became trembling.

"Stupid boy, what a silly boy. I'm old and hopeless. But he still has a family to support, and a wife and child to rely on him. He saved up and bought the house himself, and he and I Not paying a penny—how can you sell it as soon as you say it?"

As if he couldn't hold back the emotions he had accumulated all of a sudden, old man Liang couldn't help but raised his hand and covered his eyes.The trembling palms were bulging with blue veins, full of traces of being polished by the years.

"How can... sell it as soon as you say it?" He muttered to himself and repeated it.

The author has something to say: Li Zhizhi: I heard that the author has been very busy recently, and he has been frantically updating. What do you think of Mr. Wang?

Ah Wang: If Zhizhi wants to eat dog meat——
