"Well, there's no need for us to be so polite, but I still want to talk to you. You're all alone in your hometown, so you have to take special care of your health. My three sisters care about your health very much."
"I know. Don't worry. I know my body. If something really happened to me, I wouldn't force myself to fight it."
Old Wang smiled with relief, then looked towards the desolate courtyard and said, "A-chan, there's something I need to explain to you. Regarding Lin Miaomiao, I, Wang Canglin, did like her, but recently, while practicing in seclusion in my hometown, I realized that I was too stubborn. I gave up my first wife to pursue an impossible person. I was wrong, very wrong. I feel so sorry for my late wife."
As he said this, Lao Wang took a sip of wine.
Lin Can: "It's not too late. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, you have, and so have I."
Lao Wang smiled and said, "It's still the most relaxing to chat with you. Tell me anything. Cheers."
Lin Can: "Drink less."
Lao Wang: "That's 2 taels per person, no more. Oh, by the way, A-chan, next time Xiaoxiao and the others come back, let's take a family photo, okay?"
"good."
Lin Can looked at Lao Wang and found that something was wrong with him today. He was so sentimental and kept talking about reunion and separation.
"By the way, let me show you a photo."
Lao Wang went to the room and took out a photo.
When Lin Can took a look, it was the scene when he first met Lao Wang, when Lao Wang was leading the cow and Lin Can was sitting on the cow.
"Why did you print it out?"
"After changing my phone, I printed out all the meaningful photos. This is great. I have to post it."
Old Wang smeared a few grains of rice on the back of the photo and stuck it on the wall of the living room, together with the photos of Wang Canglin and his daughters.
Lin Can smiled. To be honest, ever since he met the Wang family, whether it was with Old Wang or with his three sisters, Lin Can felt at home.
Lao Wang would send WeChat messages to Lin Can every now and then, telling him that he had picked chicken mushrooms, bamboo shoots, native chickens, etc., and would ask Lin Can to come back and get them.
After lunch.
Lao Wang: "Xiaocan, you take a rest. I'm going to the mountain to burn some paper for my deceased wife."
Lin Can: "Go ahead, I'll wait for you here."
Lin Can took a chair and sat outside in the yard to bask in the sun.
Lao Wang came out with paper money.
"Achan, please sit down first. I'll be back soon and we can play chess."
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."
Old Wang turned around and walked over there with paper money.
Lin Can closed his eyes and enjoyed the warm winter sun.
Lao Wang was walking and then stopped.
"I forgot to take my paper money."
He even forgot that he was holding paper money.
He turned around and went back to the yard to get it again.
"Cang Lin~"
Suddenly, a vague voice seemed to come from my ears.
Wang Canglin was stunned and suddenly turned around to look towards the other side of the mountain road. He seemed to see who was coming to pick him up.
"I failed you."
Lao Wang said this.
Boom!
The whole person fell to the ground.
"Ah!!! Lao Wang, Lao Wang, Xiaocan Lao Wang fell down."
A villager shouted.
Lin Can suddenly opened his eyes, rushed over, and helped Wang Canglin, who had fallen to the ground, up, "Old Wang, Old Wang."
Wang Canglin opened his eyes weakly: "Xiaocan."
"Don't talk for now, I'll take you to the hospital."
Lin Can picked up Wang Canglin and put him in the back seat. He stepped on the accelerator and drove the Cullinan towards the village entrance.
He was fine when he was drinking with Lin Can just now, but now Wang Canglin looks like he is at the end of his rope.
That was just a flash of life!
"Xiaocan, am I going to die?"
"No, I saved your life last time by sending you to the hospital, and I can save your life again this time."
"Thank you, Achan, for letting me live so long."
"Don't say that."
"Achan, I want to see my daughters... Qingya, Wenwan, and Xiaoxiao."
"Okay, okay, I'll call right away."
Lin Can accelerated while calling them in a group call...
Beep beep~
Connected.
"Sister Qingya, Sister Wenwan, Sister Xiaoxiao, Lao Wang misses you..."
The words haven't been finished yet.
"A-chan... take good care of your three sisters..."
In the back row, after Wang Canglin finished his last sentence, his old hand slipped away.
A withered yellow leaf was blown down by the wind and fell to the ground.
In the house, in the living room, the photo of "Lin Can riding a cow and Lao Wang leading the cow" where Mi Li was standing fell down.
The river flows quietly under the flat bridge at the entrance of the village, and Cullinan is parked on the bridge.
"Hey, Cancan, what did you say? You said you missed us and we'll be back to accompany him soon. Hey, Cancan, say something."
After a moment, Lin Can sighed and said, "My three sisters, this time I failed to snatch the Grim Reaper like I did last time. Your father... is gone."
Lin Can ignored the reactions of the three sisters on the other end of the phone.
He got out of the car, opened the back door, took off his coat and put it on Wang Canglin, then carried him on his back and walked towards his home in the direction he had taken Lin Can.
"Rest in peace, Lao Wang!"
