Chapter 639: Saving the Living and Relieving the Dead
He turned his head and looked over. Lu Yuanqiu immediately shouted, "Look ahead, look at the road!"
Bai Qingxia glanced at Lu Yuanqiu silently, wondering why Lu Yuanqiu's voice suddenly became louder.
Zheng Yifeng looked straight ahead again, but his peripheral vision through his sunglasses was glancing around.
Damn it, you want to test me again... Lu Yuanqiu muttered in his heart.
"What else can I do? Just accept my fate," Lu Yuanqiu responded.
After his rebirth, he imagined countless times how he should live his life, but he never thought about what he should do if he only had two months left.
He thought that he would definitely have a grand wedding with Bai Qingxia in the remaining two months.
But in some movies and TV dramas, this idea is very selfish. What they often do is leave the person they love before they die, so that the person they love can forget themselves and have a new life after they die.
Lu Yuanqiu has always scoffed at this choice, because this choice is not suitable for everyone. According to Lu Yuanqiu's understanding of Bai Qingxia, such a stubborn girl will not be able to get out of this relationship unscathed no matter what. Lu Yuanqiu feels that even if he uses all his efforts to cut off this relationship, it will lead to worse results.
He even felt that he would eventually forget Bai Qingxia, but Bai Qingxia would not be able to forget him.
This is not narcissism.
Her world is small.
Just like her QQ contact list, she will not add an extra person, nor will she easily delete a person. The person with the "special care" label will always be placed at the top of her heart.
Pulling this person out would be like cutting off a piece of bloody flesh from her heart with one's own hands. The only result would be that the heart would stop beating.
Zheng Yifeng: "Where's Bai Qingxia? Why isn't she talking?"
Bai Qingxia huddled her small body in the corner and turned her head to look over. In fact, the cab could only accommodate two people, but Lu Yuanqiu insisted on dragging her over.
"I have no idea."
Bai Qingxia's answer was very soft and simple, just these four words.
Neither Lu Yuanqiu nor Zheng Yifeng were surprised by Bai Qingxia's answer. That's right, at this time Bai Qingxia would only answer "I don't know".
"How did you do on the test?"
Zheng Yifeng changed the topic again. He was usually taciturn, but today he was the one who took the initiative to bring up the topic. He probably saw that everyone was in a heavy mood on this trip, and he was the most rational person in the car.
Lu Yuanqiu nodded: "It's OK, I think it's all passed."
Bai Qingxia pursed her lips and showed a faint smile. Under her supervision, Lu Yuanqiu had no choice but to pass.
Before he knew it, the first semester of his sophomore year was almost over. The difficulty of the exams in each semester was indeed increasing in a step-by-step manner. Lu Yuanqiu had already noticed this when he was reviewing, and he didn't know how many semesters he could last.
But there was one thing he didn't know.
In fact, the Lu family elders had already tacitly paved the way for him. Being a branch manager was only the first step in his training; his ultimate task was to take over the entire Lu Group.
What degree or no degree? With the changes that have taken place in Lu Yuanqiu so far, the two certificates have long ceased to play a decisive role. Lu Yuanqiu has long been qualified by his elders.
The elders just gave him a goal to become better.
Even Lu Yuanqiu had gradually forgotten how rebellious he was in his previous life, but the elders of the Lu family knew clearly, so they all saw the changes in Lu Yuanqiu today.
Zheng Yifeng: "Are you really going to Xiangcheng?"
Lu Yuanqiu: "Just go. It doesn't matter if you come back empty-handed. The scenery along the way is what matters."
The bone marrow matching volunteer was in Xiangcheng. Coincidentally, the Taoist priest was from Xiangcheng, so Liu Wangchun took charge and directly decided that the destination of this trip would be Xiangcheng.
Although the hospital is still working hard, they all know that the person cannot be found anymore. They don't even know how many times the volunteer from 15 years ago has changed his phone number. It is also unknown whether the person has any disease now or whether his condition is suitable for transplantation.
The uncle only has more than a month left.
According to the doctor, it might be less than a month.
In the carriage, the uncle was sitting in a wheelchair and the Taoist priest was sitting next to him, and they were looking at the scenery outside the window together.
Liu Wangchun: "Want to listen to music?"
"OK."
Liu Wangchun turned on the car stereo, and suddenly a loud tenor voice rang out:
"My old father~My dearest one~"
Liu Wangchun's eyes widened, and she immediately changed the song in disgust. She looked at the uncle and the Taoist priest who were looking at her, and explained awkwardly: "Haha, it must have been my dad who played it before. He loves to indulge himself the most..."
The Taoist priest and the uncle nodded blankly.
The music that played after the song change was "Blue and White Porcelain" by Zhou Chuanxiong, and Liu Wangchun started moving his head to the rhythm of the music.
The uncle sitting by the window and the Taoist priest also started chatting.
"Little Lamb, why do you like Taoist priests?"
The Taoist priest smiled and said, "Actually, I have asked my father this question, but what I asked was, why did he become a Taoist priest?"
Uncle: "Ah, keep talking..."
The Taoist priest looked across and found that the uncle was bleeding from the nose again. He turned around to look for paper. Seeing this, Liu Wangchun immediately handed him a pack of paper.
The uncle smiled innocently and wiped it embarrassedly. Liu Wangchun lay beside him considerately, rolled the paper into two balls and stuffed them into the uncle's nose.
"Thank you, Xiaochun."
Liu Wangchun did not respond and sat back in a depressed mood. She had never thought that the first long journey of this RV would be given such great significance.
The Taoist priest exhaled and smiled, "My father said that a Taoist priest is like a ferryman. He uses the profound principles as a boat and compassion as an oar. His mission is to build a spiritual bridge across yin and yang for the living and the dead."
Liu Wangchun: "I don't understand. What exactly do Taoist priests do?"
Xu Siyang explained: "In short, we need to help the living and liberate the dead."
The uncle suddenly became silent. He suddenly didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
He was a dying man anyway.
The uncle looked up and said, "That sounds very admirable. So this is the profession you have respected since childhood, little sheep."
Xu Siyang laughed at himself and said, "I am useless. I can't help the living or the dead."
He then took out his backpack and took out the yellow Taoist robe from it. Liu Wangchun smelled a strong smell of cigarettes, and there were holes on the robe caused by cigarette ashes.
The Taoist priest stroked his robe and said, "I plan to burn this robe when I get to Xiangcheng. I will stop being a fake Taoist priest and become what my father wants me to be, just like you said."
The uncle smiled.
At this moment, Lu Yuanqiu suddenly walked out of the cab with a cell phone in his hand. Looking at the look on his face, the three people in the car knew that it was probably another bad news.
The uncle said, "Xiao Qiu, tell me, there is nothing I cannot accept."
Lu Yuanqiu paused and said, "The good news is that the volunteer in Xiangcheng has been found. The bad news is that he died two years ago."
The uncle nodded calmly.
The Taoist priest and Liu Wangchun were both silent.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew in from the window on the national highway, blowing the yellow Taoist robe to the ground. Xu Siyang bent down to pick it up, but he paused and turned back to ask, "He died two years ago? Do you know his name?"
Lu Yuanqiu: "Xu Qiancheng."
Xu Siyang opened his eyes slightly and stood up quickly: "Did he die of lung cancer?"
"It seems so..." Lu Yuanqiu gradually put down the phone in his hand.
