Lu Xingliang looked at Lu Xu and asked him carefully about Xie An's current situation.
Lu Xu did not answer immediately, but asked in an ambiguous way: "Are you concerned about Xie An?"
Lu Xingliang nodded eagerly: "Yes, Lord Xie An is my benefactor, and I naturally hope that he is well. Are you here now because he encountered something?"
He spoke carefully, secretly praying that Xie An would be safe.
However, things did not go as he wished. Lu Xu gave him an answer that completely frightened him: "Xie An's shielding of you has been discovered, and he has now been detained by the investigation team for investigation."
"Is it a big problem? Will it have a big impact on him?"
This question made Lu Xu want to laugh, and he even laughed: "Of course, shielding the dead is a serious violation of the work regulations of the God of Death. Once the charge is proven, Xie An can't even be the God of Death."
"Huh?" Lu Xingliang's pupils were dilated, as if he had never expected that the matter would be so serious. He muttered to himself, "How could this happen? Fifty years have passed, and nothing should have happened..."
After coming to his senses, he looked at Lu Xu again and said in an anxious tone: "This matter was caused by me, and has nothing to do with Lord Xie An..."
Lu Xu did not make a statement to the reporter, He just raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, this is a mistake that should not have happened. Xie An did something wrong, so I came to help him correct it."
Correct?
Lu Xingliang was a little surprised, but still nodded in agreement with Lu Xu's words, "Your Excellency is right, wrong things must of course be corrected."
"OK. Lu Xingliang, male, from Dongcheng, died of drowning in 1970..."
Lu Xingliang had heard these words once, and his already pale face became even more pale. He couldn't help but ask Lu Xu hurriedly, "Sir, what are you doing?"
"Send you on your way." Lu Xu was brief and to the point, and did not intend to explain too much.
"Going on the road?" Lu Xingliang immediately shook his head, turned his head to look at his wife on the bed, and couldn't help begging, "Lord Lu Xu, my wife doesn't have much time left, please forgive me for a while, and I will accompany my wife on the road. You can punish me in any way you want in the underworld, even if it means sending me to the eighteenth level of hell..."
Lu Xu raised his eyebrows unconsciously, and looked at Lu Xingliang who had lost his smile: "You should have left fifty years ago. This is not a vegetable market. There is no room for you to bargain." Seeing
Lu Xu's face change in an instant, Lu Xingliang immediately shook his head, panicking: "No, no, no, Lord Lu Xu, I really don't mean to bargain. It's just that I have held on for fifty years, and we will see each other in a few days. If I leave now, I really won't be willing..."
"Sorry, these have nothing to do with me." Lu Xu didn't care what he said, but just handed the information registration form to him, "Confirm the information, and sign if there is no problem."
"No, I really can't." Lu Xingliang shook his head desperately, panicking, "I know you can turn a blind eye if you want. Lord Xie An helped me..."
"Yes, he softened his heart, so he is locked up for investigation now." Lu Xu smiled, just stared into Lu Xingliang's eyes, "So you really don't understand or don't want to understand, because your request has implicated Xie An in the investigation. And in the beginning, this request was not in compliance with the regulations. What makes you think you can negotiate conditions with me?"
"But but..." Lu Xingliang was choked by what Lu Xu said, and didn't know what to say for a while. After thinking for a long time, he said, "But I got into trouble because I was trying to save someone. If it wasn't for saving those three children, Yuanyuan and I would have lived a happy life. Our children would have grown up safely and healthily, and Yuanyuan wouldn't have had such a hard life. If I hadn't saved those three children..."
Lu Xingliang didn't know what his mentality was now.
Fifty years is too long, so long that people can't help but recall their past lives over and over again.
Sometimes Lu Xingliang couldn't help asking himself, if time goes back to fifty years ago, would he make different choices?
"If, if, if only this or that..." Lu Xu couldn't help but smile and shake his head while speaking, and then continued, "Assumptions are the most meaningless things. Things that have happened cannot be changed, just like your final result is death. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. This is your merit, but it is not a shield for you to act recklessly."
Lu Xu didn't want to ask Lu Xingliang about any hypothetical propositions. In his opinion, there is only one established fact -
Lu Xingliang is dead, and he should go where he should go after he dies.
If everyone is like him, wouldn't the world be a mess?
Lu Xu is not Xie An, and he won't consider other factors. He can say so much because of Xie An's face. After a moment, he asked Lu Xingliang to sign the information, and then sent him to the place he changed to.
He manually added and updated Lu Xingliang's information on the Death Home APP. Just as he was about to leave, he received a new order reminder -
[You have a new customer who is about to ascend to heaven. Please choose whether to accept the order...]
Guo Yingyuan's name was clearly written on the new order. Lu Xu paused for a moment and then chose the order acceptance mode.
The person was lying next to him. In the blink of an eye, Guo Yingyuan's soul had already sat up from the bed.
From the time Lu Xingliang left to her death, it was only two or three minutes.
"Guo Yingyuan, female, from Dongcheng..."
Lu Xu confirmed the customer information according to the procedure. Guo Yingyuan first looked at her somewhat transparent palm, then turned her head to look at the body lying on the hospital bed, was silent for a moment, and then said with a sense of relief: "I am dead..."
After saying this, she looked up at Lu Xu and took a deep breath: "If I go down now, will I meet him?"
"Huh?"
Lu Xu did not expect her to ask this, and was stunned for a moment.
Guo Yingyuan smiled and asked again: "If you go down now, will you meet me, Lu Xingliang?"
"It depends on your own wishes." Lu Xu said as he suddenly figured out something and couldn't help asking her: "So, you knew he was there?"
Guo Yingyuan nodded and sighed, as if thinking about the past. After a long time, she said: "It's useless to know. He can't do anything."
According to Guo Yingyuan, she almost stepped into the gates of hell when she had a difficult delivery. When she came out, she saw Lu Xingliang kneeling with Xie An.
Not long after the two got married, Lu Xingliang had an accident and the child was born prematurely and needed someone to take care of him. These dark moments fell on Guo Yingyuan like a huge rock, and she couldn't breathe for the rest of her life.
Having a child hurt her masculinity. Guo Yingyuan could feel Lu Xingliang's presence many times, but so what.
She had to do her own work and take care of her child.
When Lu Xingliang died, she was less than 25 years old, and many people wanted to introduce her to a spouse.
Guo Yingyuan was not without hesitation, because who doesn't want to have someone who understands their feelings?
But every time at this moment, she could clearly feel the magnetic field fluctuations around her. She also wondered if this feeling was an illusion, but she had no way to prove anything.
She didn't want Lu Xingliang to see her find someone else, so she thought about gritting her teeth and holding on.
She held on for fifty years.
"I'm really tired, very tired..." Guo Yingyuan lowered her eyes and whispered, not knowing whether she was talking to Lu Xu or to herself.
Fifty years is really too long. Even if there was love, it will become dull over time, not to mention two people who have long been separated forever.
After experiencing the baptism of life's hardships, all feelings and longings have been worn away. Guo Yingyuan can't even remember what Lu Xingliang looks like, she just feels depressed.
Although she regrets it, she has never blamed Lu Xingliang for saving people.
If he died, Guo Yingyuan would miss him and look forward to seeing him again in the future. But he has always been there, and can't help herself. No one can understand her sadness and grievances, not even Lu Xingliang's soul can change anything.
"Don't you want to see him?" Seeing that Guo Yingyuan was daydreaming, Lu Xu couldn't help but speak up to call her attention back.
"Yeah." Guo Yingyuan lowered her eyes and glanced at herself with wrinkles on her face. She couldn't imagine what it would be like for her to be with the 25-year-old Lu Xingliang.
He died at the age of 25, and time will always stay at the age of 25.
But Guo Yingyuan is not like that.
Her girlhood was worn out by suffering, and her mentality is different every year.
This life is already like this, if there is a next life, she just hopes to live a more relaxed life.
Lu Xu did not ask her why, but said to her in accordance with the principle of respecting the wishes of the customer: "If you don't want to see it, I will arrange for you to move to another district. As long as the conditions permit, we will try our best to meet the customer's requirements and improve your death happiness index."
Death happiness index?
This term makes Guo Yingyuan feel unfamiliar, but inexplicably reasonable.
She has tried to live her whole life, and for her, death is indeed a happy thing.
Before leaving, Guo Yingyuan couldn't help but ask Lu Xu: "Lord Lu Xu, my son..."
After all, it was her own flesh and blood that she had carried for ten months, so Guo Yingyuan was naturally worried about him.
Lu Xu understood and said to her generously: "He has started a new life, with a sharp mind and a healthy body."
"That's good, that's good..." Guo Yingyuan's eyes turned red when she heard that. As long as the child was fine, everything would be worth it.
Lu Xu sent Guo Yingyuan away, and then clicked to submit the information.
Originally, he came to take away the stranded people, but he didn't expect there would be a buy one get one free deal.
Just thinking about it, the minister called: "Little Lu, is this the one that Xie An has been sheltering for fifty years?"
"Yes. "
Although the minister has always believed in Xie An, he did not expect that he would make such a decision.
"The investigation team has already started to move forward, and if nothing unexpected happens, the punishment for Xie An will be announced soon. There will be a discussion meeting at the relevant time tomorrow, so remember to come then."
"Well, I will definitely be there. "Lu Xu nodded, and then left the ward.
Early the next morning, Lu Xu got up and prepared for today's recording with others.
The singing and songwriting group has different focuses from the dance group and the vocal group, and the recording methods are also different.
For example, the vocal group is given several performance songs to choose from by the program team, and the trainees need to pass some physical competitions to grab the priority selection right.
"I heard that the selection right of the vocal group is determined by the swimming relay race. Oh, I also want to have a chance to show off my body next to Manman." Xu Lele began to mutter as soon as she entered the classroom. It was a pity that she couldn't show off her body in front of the goddess.
Others couldn't help but be surprised: "Swimming relay? But what about those who can't swim? "
Xu Lele smiled brightly: "It's a 1.5 meter high pool. If you can't swim, you can choose to swim. Anyway, you can just get there in the end!"
As they were talking, the instructor of the singing and songwriting group came to the classroom and announced today's program recording.
Lu Xu saw Ji Xiunian and Gu Wen'an coming in, but didn't see Tao Yingbo. He couldn't help but glance at Ji Xiunian with a questioning look.
Ji Xiunian thought Tao Yingbo was here, but he didn't expect that there was no trace of him inside.
Seeing the questioning in Lu Xu's eyes, Ji Xiunian gave him the same blank look, meaning that he didn't know where Tao Yingbo was.
The two looked at each other, and almost at the same time had a guess in their minds -
could it be that he went to find Qu Dehui?
