The 117th day of being eavesdropped

The boat ticket was scheduled for 3pm.

Gu Jinshui took a taxi here. He had asked someone to send the large electrical appliances to Chuanshan first. He was carrying a few gifts and a briefcase.

The boat had not been released yet. The crew on the passenger boat were cleaning and preparing various foods.

The dock was crowded with people.

Gu Jinshui was in a state of anxiety and looked at his watch from time to time.

He was looking forward to getting on the boat as soon as possible, but he was also a little worried about what might happen on the boat. He

finally waited until almost 3pm.

The horn of the ship above sounded, and the ship gradually approached the shore, and the deck was lowered.

The passengers on the dock walked towards the deck one after another.

People in suits, kimonos, whites, yellows, rich and poor, all crowded the entrance to the ship.

Gu Jinshui was standing in the front of the line. He had seen the crew checking tickets, but there was a shouting sound behind him.

"Gu Jinshui!" Someone called his name, and the voice was unfamiliar.

Gu Jinshui looked back, but his brows couldn't help but wrinkle. The people who came were none other than Dong Riwu and a few Japanese.

Dong Riwu and his group came aggressively, with angry faces.

The crew saw this and couldn't help but be alert. He asked something in Japanese.

Dong Riwu responded to the crew with a few impolite words and pulled Gu Jinshui aside.

"What do you want to do?!" Gu Jinshui shook off Dong Riwu's hand, his face full of displeasure.

Dong Riwu looked at his companion next to him, and his companion immediately said: "Gu Jinshui, you don't have to pretend, did Mr. Yamamoto give you something?!"

Gu Jinshui's heart skipped a beat.

He looked at Dong Riwu, clenched his fists, and from the corner of his eyes he clearly saw the ticket inspector looking at them with suspicion.

If Dong Riwu and the others made a big fuss, Mr. Yamamoto's business might be ruined.

"I don't know what you are talking about. I am Chinese. Even if Yamamoto wants to give me something, I won't take it!"

Gu Jinshui showed a disdainful expression.

After his companion translated it, Dong Ri Wu didn't believe it at all. He pointed at the bag in Gu Jinshui's hand with a red face and thick neck. His companion said: "We don't believe you. You Chinese are all poor, but we heard that you bought a lot of electrical appliances recently. If it weren't for Mr. Yamamoto giving you money, how could you afford it!"

Damn it!

Gu Jinshui never dreamed that this group of Japanese suspected him for this reason!

Just because of the few home appliances he used to set off smoke bombs, they suspected that they were soft-hearted and took Yamamoto's money.

"Dong Ri-san, Gu Jinshui."

Just when Gu Jinshui was anxious and his palms were sweating, someone suddenly called Gu Jinshui and Dong Ri Wu.

They both turned around at the same time, only to see Sun Zhiping pushing Professor Yamamoto who was sitting in a wheelchair towards them.

Everyone was stunned.

Dong Riwu's face showed a look of astonishment.

He walked up to him, pointed at Sun Zhiping, and seemed to be asking Yamamoto something. Yamamoto seemed to be in particularly good spirits today. Although his face was still pale without any blood color, his eyes were bright and lively. If you only look at the gleam in his eyes, no one would have thought that this was an old man who was about to die.

Sun Zhiping interrupted Dong Riwu's words, proudly raised his chin, "Dong Riwu, you don't have to yell at the teacher. The teacher has agreed to accept me as an apprentice, and everything in the future will be inherited by me."

Dong Riwu's companion quickly translated.

Dong Riwu was like a tiger whose tail was stepped on. His face flushed red, and he clenched his fists. He even swung a fist and hit Sun Zhiping in the face.

Sun Zhiping was in high spirits and felt that he was at the peak of his life. How could he tolerate such an injustice? He immediately started fighting with Dong Riwu.

Needless to say, Dong Riwu's companions went up to help without saying a word.

The people around screamed and dodged.

The women pulled the men and pointed at the group of people fighting on the ground, muttering.

Gu Jinshui saw that no one was taking care of Yamamoto, so he hurried forward and pulled out Professor Yamamoto's wheelchair, "Why are you here?"

"I, I heard that Dong Riwu came to trouble you, and Sun Zhiping happened to come to the hospital to see me, so I came here by the way. I didn't expect to come at the right time."

Professor Yamamoto showed a kind smile at the corner of his lips.

He grabbed Gu Jinshui's hand that was holding the wheelchair, and there were age spots on the back of his wrinkled hand, "Don't worry about me, hurry up and get on the boat."

"I," Gu Jinshui wanted to say something, but seeing the old man's firm eyes, the words on his lips could not be said, so he had to say: "Then take care of yourself."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Yamamoto said in a low voice, with a smile on his face: "Look, I'm in such good spirits now."

Gu Jinshui's lips trembled, not knowing what to say.

He grabbed the strap of his briefcase, nodded solemnly to Yamamoto, and then walked towards the passenger ship, turning his head every step.

The crew member was busy watching the fight at the dock below, and ignored him when checking tickets. Gu Jinshui quickly went up to the deck.

A whistle was beeping from the dock.

Several Chinese pointed at the Japanese police rushing over with batons and said, "Look how fast the police are coming. If this were our country, the police wouldn't even come if someone was beaten to death."

"Who says not? This time I've broadened my horizons in Japan. The Japanese are so civilized and developed. If I had no choice, I really wouldn't want to go back to China."

Gu Jinshui leaned on the railing, looking at Professor Yamamoto, who was smiling and looking at him with satisfaction in his wheelchair on the shore. His chest felt like it was about to explode, with a mixture of bitterness, emotion, and shock.

Wuwuwu—

the ship was about to start, and the people on the shore who were seeing it off waved their arms. The crowd gradually dispersed, and the small wheelchair became smaller and smaller.

Gu Jinshui looked down at the water. In the cabin close to the bottom of the sea, there were already several decades of life for a sincere old man.

The ship arrived in Beijing two nights later.

When Gu Jinshui got off the ship, the crew came to find him. This time it was a Chinese. He said, "Mr. Gu, we have delivered your goods to the dock warehouse. Here is the pick-up list. Please sign it."

"Jinshui, Jinshui..."

He Chunlian and the others came to pick up Gu Jinshui. When they saw Gu Jinshui here, they squeezed through the crowd.

Gu Jinshui looked at the list and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the ten boxes before signing. He took the list and his family had already come.

"Mom, daughter-in-law."

Seeing his family after a month, Gu Jinshui felt as if he was in another world.

He Chunlian pinched his shoulder, "Oh, you've lost weight. Didn't you eat well in Japan? I see that you don't seem to be in a good mood."

Gu Jinshui thought of the old man who watched him leave at the dock. The sour feeling in his heart surged up again. He forced a smile and said, "Of course the food is not good. How can the food cooked by Japanese be delicious? Mom, I miss our fried noodles!"

"I knew you would want to eat this when you come back. I've prepared it at home. As soon as we go back, Mom will prepare it for you."

He Chunlian said with a smile, and helped Gu Jinshui take a few bags.

Liang Ying looked around and asked, "Where are the other gifts? Why are there only these bags?"

Gu Jinshui said, "There are too many things. I put them in the warehouse. We'll ask someone to pick them up later. I bought a lot of electrical appliances for the family..."

He concealed his thoughts as if nothing had happened.

After returning home, Gu Jinshui ate some fried noodles with soybean paste before calling Professor Bai to let him know that he was back.

Professor Bai was very happy, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. By the way, you didn't know yet, did you?"

"What's the matter?" Gu Jinshui had a vague foreboding in his heart.

Professor Bai sighed and said, "Professor Yamamoto passed away two nights ago. It's so pitiful. I didn't expect that the disease would really go away so quickly."

The cup in Gu Jinshui's hand fell to the ground with a snap.

He Chunlian and Liang Ying came out after hearing the noise, but saw Gu Jinshui's eyes were filled with tears, and he raised his hand to wipe his tears.

He Chunlian and Liang Ying were both startled and looked at each other.

He Chunlian wiped her hand on the apron around her waist, her lips moved, and she didn't know what to say.

"What's that noise over there?" Professor Bai was startled.

Gu Jinshui raised his hand and wiped his tears, "It's nothing, I accidentally knocked over the cup. This, this news is too sudden. He's gone now, what should we do with his funeral?"

"Speaking of this, there's one more thing."

Professor Bai didn't think much about it, and said with an annoyed tone: "Sun Zhiping is so spineless that he actually worshipped Mr. Yamamoto as his teacher. He probably thought that Mr. Yamamoto had no children, and his status was equivalent to half a son, so he wanted to stay in Japan to inherit his property. But he didn't expect that Mr. Yamamoto had already donated the rest of his property, including the house, to an orphanage. Sun Zhiping wanted to make trouble after knowing this. Mr. Yamamoto's housekeeper directly called the embassy, ​​and the embassy called us. We are really embarrassed by him this time."

Orphanage?

Gu Jinshui didn't know why, but he felt that it made sense.

The old man probably had thought so a long time ago.

"If the estate is donated, how will Mr. Yamamoto handle his funeral?"

Gu Jinshui asked with concern.

Professor Bai was surprised and said, "Little Gu, why do you care so much about this?"

Gu Jinshui thought about it and decided not to tell Professor Bai. After all, Professor Bai's character was trustworthy, and Professor Yamamoto had passed away. Even if he told this, it would not affect him.

Gu Jinshui told Professor Bai about the conversation he had with Professor Yamamoto in the ward that day.

Professor Bai was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.

He sat up straight and stood in awe, "This, Professor Yamamoto is so righteous, no wonder, no wonder..."

He said no wonder several times in a row, obviously he felt surprised but also reasonable. From Yamamoto's attitude towards them, it can be seen that this person has a good heart, but his previous actions made people confused.

Now, after Gu Jinshui's explanation, everything makes sense.

Professor Bai sighed and said, "Now I suddenly understand why Professor Yamamoto let people bury his body at sea. Maybe he wanted to follow this ocean current to see China. Gu Jinshui, if you need any help with this matter, don't hesitate, I will help you to the end. We can't let the old gentleman down."
