The file was created fifty years ago, and the brown paper bag has turned yellow.
This is the stowaway file that got Xie An into big trouble, and no one knows why Xie An kept it secret.
Although he was puzzled, he was not Xie An, so he naturally didn't know what he was thinking.
Lu Xu didn't waste time speculating, but directly opened the file bag to check the information inside.
Because Xie An's attitude was too secretive, almost everyone thought he was resisting. The Southwest reported it as a major case, and the investigation team also believed it would be a major case. But it was not until Lu Xu opened the file that he discovered that it contained an ordinary customer profile -
"Lu Xingliang, male, from Dongcheng, 1945-1970..."
From the data, Lu Xingliang's life was as ordinary as that of thousands of people at that time, but shorter than their lives.
Lu Xingliang was born in the city, educated well, and was eventually assigned to a township primary school as a teacher. At the age of 24, he married his childhood sweetheart, which was no different from other people's lives.
If there had not been that accident, Lu Xingliang would probably have continued to teach in that primary school, and if he was lucky, he would have been transferred back to the city to reunite with his wife in a few years. When he was older, he would retire and live with his wife, and his life would have passed like this.
However, the accident happened in an instant.
On February 28, 1970, it was cold and snowy.
Several students of Lu Xingliang habitually crossed the ice to go home. Unexpectedly, the temperature warmed up that day, and the ice cracked just as they walked to the middle.
First, one child fell in, and the other two subconsciously tried to hold him, but the crack widened and they fell in as well.
The other children did not dare to step forward, and cried for help. Lu Xingliang, who was originally preparing to go back to the city to visit his relatives, happened to pass by and jumped in without thinking.
When the villagers behind heard the noise and came over, Lu Xingliang first lifted up the three children. When the villagers reached out to pull him up, he had no strength left...
Xie An, who was still in the internship period of the Grim Reaper, accepted the order. If he was sent on his way according to the procedure, there would be no more things to come.
In the file bag, there was not only Lu Xingliang's file but also a letter. Xie An wrote "From Brother Xu" on it with a pen.
"Brother Xu, if you see this letter, it means that I am already under investigation. Fifty years ago, I just became the Grim Reaper. I originally wanted to work hard to achieve good results, but I didn't expect that I would be soft-hearted..."
When Xie An came to the scene of the accident according to the instructions, a group of villagers were kneeling in front of Lu Xingliang's body and crying.
The person in question stood aside and looked blankly, obviously unable to accept the fact that he was dead.
"Lü Xingliang, male, from Dongcheng, died of drowning at the age of 25..." Xie An announced Lü Xingliang's death and woke him up from his unconscious state.
Lü Xingliang looked at the crying villagers and students, and glanced at his own body with a complicated expression.
Before that, he was carrying things to go home to visit his wife who was due to give birth. Who could have thought that in the blink of an eye, the two of them would be separated forever.
The new clothes he bought for his wife and the small items he clumsily prepared for the children were all piled next to his body, making his short life even more miserable.
It is a pity for such a person to die, but life is life.
Xie An sighed in his heart, and then said to Lu Xingliang: "After the information is confirmed, please sign here so that I can send you off."
Lu Xingliang, who had not spoken, shook his head and asked Xie An: "Lord Death? I have a request..."
Lu Xingliang originally wanted to go back to take care of his wife and children, but he saved someone else's child but failed to see his own child.
He begged Xie An desperately, thinking about going back to see his wife and the child he had not seen yet.
Xie An softened his heart for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.
Upon learning that Lu Xingliang had passed away unexpectedly, his wife Guo Yingyuan found it difficult to accept this fact, and excessive grief led to premature birth.
Even in the 21st century, giving birth to a child is a life-or-death struggle, not to mention the medical conditions fifty years ago.
Lu Xingliang's wife had a difficult delivery. After finally giving birth to the baby, she looked like she was dying.
"Yuanyuan, don't sleep. Open your eyes and look at the baby quickly..." Lu Xingliang was so anxious that he stayed by his wife's side and tried to awaken her will.
Xie An stayed by her side and waited with Lu Xingliang for two days. During this time, he was also busy running other orders.
After waiting for Guo Yingyuan to wake up, they found another problem. Because the delivery time was too long, the fetus was deprived of oxygen, and the vitality of the small body was very fragile.
Lu Xingliang made a request to Xie An again. He knelt directly in front of Xie An and asked him to give him some time: "Yuanyuan has a hard time alone. I just want to accompany her. Please..."
If it weren't for saving other people's children, Lu Xingliang would not have been unable to hold his own child.
The three of them should have lived happily together, but now they are separated forever.
"I beg you..."
Xie An felt sorry for Lu Xingliang, and since he was still an intern and had not experienced much, he softened his heart in the end...
"I just felt that it was not easy for their family, so I agreed to let Lu Xingliang stay in the world to accompany his wife. As for the file, I kept it and did not report it, thinking that I would send it over when his time came and then bear the consequences..."
Fifty years passed in a flash, and the day they agreed to was about to arrive. Who could have thought that something went wrong at this juncture.
"Brother Xu, I agreed to his request after all. I don't want to just watch him go to the illegal immigrant management area. If possible, I would like to trouble you to send him off for me and hand in this file. As for all the consequences, I will bear them myself..."
Lu Xu sorted out the ins and outs of the matter and was not surprised at all.
Xie An is a good person in every way, but it is easy to be soft-hearted because he is too good. Not long after he came to the East, Lu Xu had been consciously or unconsciously pointing him out, not wanting him to make any mistakes because of personal feelings.
During the time he worked in the East, Xie An performed really well, and Lu Xu once thought that he was worrying too much.
Unexpectedly, he made mistakes during the internship and continued to this day.
Xie An should have realized the consequences of this incident, but he still chose to do it, which means he was ready to bear all the consequences.
At this point, it is meaningless to evaluate Xie An's choice. The most urgent task is to get rid of this illegal stayer first.
Lu Xingliang...
Lu Xu took a look at the name, then opened the Death Home App and searched for his wife's information.
All living people are their reserve customers, and their information is naturally registered.
Everyone's physical condition, including medical records, is stored in the database to ensure the work progress of the Death Gods.
Lu Xu found Guo Yingyuan's file and discovered that she is now hospitalized in the People's Hospital. She is
over 70 years old and has worked hard for half her life. Now she has not much time left in the hospital.
Lu Xu put away the information and disappeared, and appeared in the geriatric department of the People's Hospital a moment later.
Although it is called the geriatric department, many elderly people come here just for treatment.
Guo Yingyuan has been a teacher for decades. After retirement, her health deteriorated. She has no children around her, so she can only live in the geriatric department.
In the fifty years since Lu Xingliang passed away, Guo Yingyuan has never thought about remarrying. The two children have suffered some damage to their intelligence due to lack of oxygen, and their bodies are also a little weak. Guo Yingyuan raised them with great difficulty, and no one knows how much hardship she suffered in the process. But the child did not live past the age of fifteen. Guo Yingyuan did not know how hard it was to lose her father at an early age and her son in middle age.
Lu Xu calmly read the files, entered the ward and went straight to the geriatric department.
The department is quiet at night, but there are ghosts. But as soon as Lu Xu entered the hospital, everyone heard the noise and fled in all directions like wild animals. There was no trace of the ghost he was looking for.
However, Lu Xu was not in a hurry, but walked slowly towards the ward where Guo Yingyuan was.
The corridor lights flickered, as if hinting at some kind of danger.
After arriving at the door of 703, Lu Xu finally stopped and looked inside through the glass.
The light in the ward was dim and quiet. Only the middle bed of the three beds was occupied. I guess that was Guo Yingyuan.
She is already 73 years old this year, with wrinkles all over her face, and the marks written on her face were all traces of being destroyed by time.
At first glance, the room was empty, and it didn't look like there was anyone else in it. Lu Xu was also anxious to leave, so he just pushed the door open and walked in, slowly approaching Guo Yingyuan step by step.
"Wait!"
Seeing that Lu Xu was about to reach Guo Yingyuan's bedside, a dark shadow suddenly stood up from the ground and suddenly blocked the way.
As early as when Lu Xu entered the room, he had already noticed the overlapping shadows on the ground. He stayed by his wife's bed from beginning to end, even though he was shaking like a sieve when he felt Lu Xu's aura, but he didn't move a step.
"Lu Xingliang." Lu Xu was not surprised at all and called his name directly.
"Lord Lu Xu, it's me." After staying in the world for fifty years, Lu Xingliang naturally knew Lu Xu, "My wife's time should not have come yet."
Lu Xu nodded: "I came here to find you."
"Sure enough."
In fact, he had already seen Lu Xu who came to collect heads yesterday. I always thought he would find me, but I didn't expect that day to come so soon.
I haven't seen Xie An for a while recently, and Lu Xingliang has a bad feeling. Xie An used to be in charge of the hospital, but suddenly Lu Xu came over. I'm afraid that something has really happened to Xie An.
Lu Xingliang hesitated again and again, but couldn't help asking Lu Xu: "Lord Lu Xu, is Lord Xie An okay?"
