Chapter 446 Extra: Geng Changqing
Geng Changqing had a dream.
In the dream, Xiaomo went to the countryside for half a month and accidentally fell into the water and died.
After receiving the news in the dream, he was heartbroken.
At that time, the Su family was in the most difficult time. In order not to affect De Ge and Qian Ge, he concealed the news of Xiaomo's death, found a place with good scenery in Hongqi Commune, and buried her with great pain.
After the funeral, he fell seriously ill.
After recovering from the illness, he worked harder than before, forgetting to eat and sleep, working day and night, and dared not let himself have a moment of leisure.
Everyone praised him and thought he was a good cadre who worked diligently and served the people wholeheartedly. The higher-ups also commended him as a model. With the help of the old leaders, he was promoted very quickly.
However, only he himself knew that he worked so hard, not only because of his responsibilities, but also because there was a piece missing from his heart.
Every time he thought of it, he felt unbearable pain, and he dared not let himself stop, otherwise the endless longing and regret would devour him.
In the dream, Qiange's matter seemed very difficult. Even though he had been promoted many times and had considerable power in his hands, he and Dege still planned for three years before getting Qiange out of the cowshed. During this period, Dege was almost pulled down.
After Qiange and his friends were rehabilitated and returned to the city, he finally dared to tell them about Xiaomo. Everyone was very sad, and Qiange and his wife could not bear the blow and fell ill directly. Within a few years, they died one after another.
And he, because of so many years of overloaded work, and the painstaking efforts to revenge those who harmed the Su family, and because of Xiaomo's heartbreak, died early before the age of 40...
Geng Changqing suddenly woke up from his dream, holding his aching chest, and for a moment he couldn't tell the difference between dream and reality.
After he was completely awake, Geng Changqing thought about it and found it funny again. Why did he have such a bizarre dream for no reason?
Xiaomo is living well, not only has a successful career, but also has a happy family. The only drawback is that her husband and children are in the army, carrying out the most dangerous missions, and they have to worry about it all the time.
And the Su family is not as weak as in the dream, and now it is showing a trend of regaining the glory of its heyday.
Geng Changqing smiled. Since he woke up, he did not go back to sleep. He went to the study to look at some documents.
As he looked, he couldn't help but think of the dream again.
In the dream, he regretted every day that he did not go to see Xiaomo earlier and take care of everything for her. As a result, she fell into the water and died at a young age because of illness.
What about reality? Does he regret it in reality?
If he had taken care of Xiaomo earlier, Xiaomo would not have fallen into the water due to illness, nor would she have been rescued by Lu Changzheng, and she would not have married Lu Changzheng.
Then, is it possible for him and Xiaomo to be together?
Geng Changqing curled the corners of his mouth and showed a bitter smile.
I'm afraid it's impossible.
When he saw Xiaomo again in Lujia Village, the way the little girl looked at him was no longer the same as before. She should have gotten over her temporary infatuation with him a long time ago, and only had respect and love for him as an elder.
What's more, he was still a coward and didn't dare to face his feelings. Even if the little girl hadn't changed, he was afraid that he wouldn't recognize her.
He was afraid that others would say he was heartless. Uncle Zhongli saved him and raised him as his own son, but he wanted to touch someone else's granddaughter.
He was also afraid that others would say he was unethical. The Su family treated him as a relative, but he actually fell in love with his niece who was so much younger than him.
He was also afraid to face the disappointed and even disgusted eyes of De Ge and Qian Ge. What's more, he was afraid that the girl was only infatuated with him temporarily, and if she left him after she came to her senses, he would not only lose his lover, but also his family.
Therefore, when the girl wanted to make things clear with him with the most sincere enthusiasm, he ran away like a coward.
Everyone said that Geng Changqing was a man of great talent, foresight, and he was a natural leader. But, he was actually just a deserter.
Indeed, he was such a coward, how could he deserve her sincere love.
Fortunately, he ran away, and now they can still live in harmony like family.
In this way, he should uphold the duty of an uncle, stay by her side as a family member, and silently support her when she needs help.
That's good!
Life went on as usual. The dream and deep thoughts of that day seemed like a drop in the ocean. In the torrent of time, they did not stir up any waves.
Geng Changqing had planned to keep his uncle's identity for his whole life, and hide his thoughts firmly, so that no one could find out. However, fate played a joke on him, or gave him a surprising turn.
It happened so suddenly that no one thought that explosives would be placed in such a place in advance. At the moment of danger, Geng Changqing instinctively protected Su Mo and blocked most of the shock waves of the explosion for her.
When the horrible explosion stopped, Geng Changqing felt a sharp pain in his internal organs. Just when he wanted to open his mouth, a liquid full of rusty smell gushed out of his mouth. His intuition told him that his life was slipping away quickly.
At this time, the person he was protecting also climbed up. As soon as she saw him, deep sorrow welled up in her eyes, with disbelief on her face. Her beautiful eyes quickly filled with mist, and tears fell down.
Geng Changqing wanted to raise his hand to wipe her tears, but he could only move a little bit despite his best efforts. He could only speak with difficulty, "Xiao...Mo, it's...it's okay, don't...don't cry."
Geng Changqing knew that he was not going to survive. The shackles in his heart were removed, and the repressed emotions surged. For the first time, he stared at the person in front of him so greedily.
As if noticing his different gaze, the little girl cried even harder.
Geng Changqing was anxious and wanted to comfort her, but the liquid in his mouth surged even more violently, and he seemed to be unable to see the little girl clearly.
"Don't talk, you'll be fine, hold on."
The little girl cried and approached him, her hands seemed to be on his body, and he felt that the severe pain in his body seemed to be less painful in an instant. However, warm liquid dripped from his face from time to time. He didn't know if it was her tears, but unfortunately his eyes were red and black and he couldn't see clearly.
"Xiaomo, if...if...I...hadn't left...it would have been better." Geng Changqing used all his strength to reveal his regret for the first time.
The little girl didn't reply, but her tears seemed to fall even more violently.
"Don't...don't cry, I'm...sorry, it's...I'm...unworthy."
It seemed that he had waited for a long time, and when he was completely in darkness, he heard the little girl's soft answer.
She said, "Uncle Geng, I am not her. Your little girl has never let you go."
Never let you go? That
's great!
But it's not good!
He has never expressed the same love in front of the little girl. How sad his little girl must be for so many years...
It's a pity... He doesn't have time anymore...
*****
Geng Changqing woke up in the hospital, but this hospital looked a little strange and old, but the equipment seemed very advanced, a bit like the hibernation chamber in foreign science fiction movies.
Geng Changqing just sat up and saw several people coming in from the door. When they saw him get up, they cried and laughed at him, and shouted, "Captain, you finally woke up, scared us to death."
Geng Changqing was a little confused and wanted to say something. He just raised his hand but suddenly found that this hand was not his. It looked younger than his hand, with more distinct joints, and looked stronger and more powerful.
Geng Changqing concealed his shock, and after sending those people away with a few words, he quickly found a place with a mirror and looked at himself.
Although the person in the mirror was 70% similar to him when he was young, it was definitely not him. Moreover, the environment here was full of weirdness.
Although it is said that a man should not talk about strange things, as a person who grew up under the red flag, he should not believe in these things. However, he seemed to have really encountered some supernatural events.
After all, Geng Changqing had been in the officialdom for so many years, and his shrewdness was naturally extraordinary. In just a few days, he had figured out the situation.
He seemed to have come to a time and space that was somewhat different from the one he was in, and it was many years later that he possessed the body of a young man named Geng Qing.
It seems that a virus broke out here, and many people turned into monsters called "zombies" that eat people. Some of the surviving humans have superpowers called "superpowers".
The Geng Qing he possessed has gold superpowers, and seems to be quite powerful. He is the captain of a superpower team.
The reason why this Geng Qing was injured was that he saved a person when he was supporting the base next door that was about to be destroyed. According to his teammates, he was only left with one breath when he rescued the person.
The healing superpower in the team treated him for several days, and then sent him to the base's treatment cabin to lie for a week before he woke up.
After finding out the situation, he wanted to see the person he rescued. He intuitively felt that the person should be the key.
Then she was told by her teammates that the person had not woken up yet. But they didn't know the person, so it was impossible for them to take out her crystal core and let her lie in the treatment cabin. They only let the healing psychic give her simple treatment and then threw her into the ordinary ward of the hospital.
Geng Changqing went to the ward under the guidance of his teammates, and was really shocked when he saw the person.
The person actually looked 80% similar to Xiaomo, but he looked much thinner than Xiaomo, and his face was a little dark yellow, not as fair as Xiaomo.
Geng Changqing brought her back to the team and asked the healing psychic in the team to treat her. He vaguely felt that she seemed to have the answer he wanted.
Geng Changqing stayed with her for a few days, and finally waited for her to wake up one evening.
After the man opened his eyes, he looked around in confusion. When he saw Geng Changqing, he was stunned for a moment, then sat up, pouted his lips, turned his head to the side, and asked, "Why are you here?"
Geng Changqing was stunned, and then he was overwhelmed with unbelievable ecstasy, and asked nervously, "Xiao Mo?"
The man turned his head and glared at him. The arrogant look was exactly the same as he remembered.
Geng Changqing instantly understood what Su Mo meant by "I am not her" before she lost consciousness.
It turned out that the Su Mo in that place was not this Su Mo. The Su Mo in that place had changed her heart, and the Su Mo in this place was his little girl, his Xiao Mo.
It turned out that his little girl really never let him go.
Geng Changqing was really grateful to Shang Cang for allowing him to be here and reunited with his little girl again.
This time, he would definitely not be a deserter again. He would hold his little girl in his arms, love her and protect her until his life dies and his consciousness is gone.
Su Mo looked at Geng Changqing's expression that seemed to be happy, sad, and relieved, and was a little puzzled, "Why are you acting so weird? What are you wearing? Is it the work clothes here?"
"Where is this place? It looks very high-end. Where are you taking me?"
Listening to the familiar Wu Nong soft words and looking at the little girl's trusting look, Geng Changqing chuckled, walked over and took Su Mo into his arms.
"Xiaomo, don't be afraid, I will explain it to you bit by bit. I will never leave again, I will always be with you."
Even if this is the end of the world where people eat each other, with you, it is my everlasting paradise!
