After the ceremony, he wiped the tears from his face with his right hand and turned away reluctantly.
With the passing of several old men, Xu Jianguo also felt the same loneliness as in his previous life. Fortunately, compared with his previous life, he still had Wen Sitian and the children by his side.
It is said that time is the best medicine, but I don’t know how long it will take for Xu Jianguo to heal the sadness in his heart.
…
In 2015, Xu Jianguo, who was already 70 years old, officially resigned from his post after declining the retention of the Central Government and the National University of Defense Technology, and truly lived a retirement life surrounded by his children and grandchildren.
After several years of construction, Wangyou Island is now completely different from what it used to be.
Independent courtyards built according to the terrain appeared on the island, and each courtyard was connected by a bluestone road.
The island is fully equipped with water and electricity. In addition to springs for drinking water, Xu Jianguo also specially installed three large-scale seawater desalination plants.
As for electricity, in addition to traditional photovoltaic power generation on the island, Xu Jianguo also spent a large amount of gold to exchange a set of ocean energy power generation system with a super high conversion ratio through the system mall.
Xu Jianguo arranged a total of twelve batteries, each with a peak storage capacity of 5,000 kWh. Even if the whole family came to the island and all power generation equipment was shut down, it would be enough for half a month.
In order to ensure that his peaceful life would not be disturbed by outsiders, Xu Jianguo also specially dispatched a space satellite to hide the location of the island. Unless someone went there in person by boat, no one could find the location of the island through the satellite.
In 2019, Xiaohei and Erhei, two old friends who had accompanied Xu Jianguo's family for more than half a century, passed away one after another. If calculated in terms of human age, they are definitely living fossils in the cat and dog world.
The night before the two black guys left, Xu Jianguo, who had prepared a rich dinner for them, suddenly couldn't find them.
Originally, it was thought that Xiaohei and Erhei had gone out to play, but Xu Jianguo felt something was wrong, so he and Wen Sitian ran out of the yard in the dark and began to search on the island.
Finally, the couple found the two black dogs under a big rock on the north side of the island. When they found them, Xiaohei was lying on the ground, and Erhei was lying on its head as usual. The cat and the dog looked down at the courtyard where Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian lived from afar.
Seeing this scene, Wen Sitian rushed to the two black guys and burst into tears.
Xu Jianguo, who was standing by, was also very sad when he saw the white hair and beard around their mouths. He walked over, squatted down, and gently stroked their heads several times.
Xiao Hei and Er Hei also cooperated by whimpering a few times, as if they were saying their final goodbyes to their master.
The couple sat with Xiaohei and Erhei under the big rock for a long time, until their breathing began to become a little rapid, and then they each carried one back to the yard.
At one o'clock in the morning, Xiaohei and Erhei were lying face to face on a soft mat. Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian were beside them, and from time to time they reached out to stroke their fur, which was no longer shiny.
Before Xiao Hei stopped breathing, he tried to stand up again. Xu Jianguo, with red eyes, rubbed his big head and said with a sob, "Old buddy, don't walk too fast. Wait for us over there!"
He used his innate skill of speaking animal language, so Xiao Hei could naturally understand him. After whimpering, he stuck out his tongue to lick Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian's hands, and then lay back down.
After a period of rapid breathing, Xiao Hei and Er Hei's breathing rate began to become longer and longer, and finally they slowly closed their eyes and slowly stopped breathing.
Wen Sitian had already cried all her tears at this time. She looked at Xiaohei and Erhei who had already left, and just kept stroking their bodies which were gradually losing temperature, without saying a word for a long time.
Xu Jianguo helped Wen Sitian sit on the sofa, then took out the black walnut box that had been prepared in advance, covered the box with a thick and soft blanket, then took Xiaohei and Erhei in, and placed many of their favorite toys and snacks next to them.
After closing the lid of the box, Xu Jianguo went straight to the yard. With a thought, a pit about two meters deep appeared in the corner of the yard. Then he went back to the house, took out the big wooden box, put it in the pit, and then buried them with Wen Sitian.
At this point, a cypress tree appeared in the southeast corner of the courtyard where Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian lived on Wangyou Island, and in front of the cypress tree stood a stone tablet with the words "Tomb of the Beloved Pets Xiaohei and Erhei" written on it.
The children in the family who had grown up with Xiaohei and Erhei couldn't help but burst into tears after learning about this incident.
The one who cried the most was Funniu. You should know that she has been in contact with Xiaohei and Erhei for the longest time and has the deepest feelings for them. It is not an exaggeration to say that Funiu grew up under the care of Xiaohei.
On the same day after learning that Xiaohei and Erhei had left, the girl was brought to the island by Du Yu. She wanted to see their graves in person.
With Xu Jianguo's official retirement, he and Wen Sitian gradually faded out of the sight of their acquaintances in Jingzhou, and only occasionally returned to their house in the Jingzhou Security Bureau compound to stay for a few days.
As for Xu Jianguo's bodyguard Zhao Changshan and communicator Liu Yang, Xu Jianguo also paved the way for their future before he left.
