Chapter 406 Lu Mingdong's Side Story 7
Lu Yuanqing refused to believe it the whole way.
However, a number of villagers had already tacitly arrived at Gu Baoxia's door, and they offered to help whenever they saw what needed to be done.
That's always been the case in the village.
For weddings, you need to go door-to-door to invite people; for funerals, you don't need to invite them—everyone will come to help on their own initiative.
Because they were worried about rain in the next few days, the rain shelters were already set up in front of their houses.
Lu Yuanqing was preoccupied with Gu Baoxia and couldn't care less about anything else.
As soon as I entered, I was startled by Wu Cisheng's full head of white hair.
"you……"
Lu Yuanqing was extremely shocked.
Wu Cisheng was much younger than him and Gu Baoxia, about seven or eight years younger.
Moreover, he is an open-minded person. Even when he was sent to the countryside as an educated youth and later learned that the families of people in the city were suffering, he calmly accepted the facts, no matter how difficult the situation was.
During the last video call with Gu Baoxia, Lu Yuanqing saw Wu Cisheng appear on the screen, smiling gently. However, he was somewhat unwilling to look through the lens and try to find a single white hair in Wu Cisheng's hair.
When Gu Baoxia learned of his little scheme, she chuckled and reached out to flip through Wu Cisheng's hair, revealing one or two strands of gray hair hidden inside.
Wu Cisheng completely let Gu Baoxia do as she pleased, and let Lu Yuanqing on the other end of the video call urging him to flip through the pages again, saying there must be more white ones.
But now Wu Cisheng's head is completely white.
Lu Yuanqing's words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say them no matter what. His eyes were full of tears, but he forced them open to prevent them from falling.
When Wu Cisheng saw him return, a glimmer of light returned to his dull eyes. "Brother Lu, she's waiting for you!"
Wu Cisheng seemed unable to perceive much of the emotions around him, and pulled Lu Yuanqing into the room.
He kept repeating, "She's waiting for you!"
We entered the bedroom.
When Lu Yuanqing saw Gu Baoxia lying on the bed, she looked completely different from when she was standing. It was the same person.
Lu Yuanqing's tears finally fell.
There was another person in the bedroom wearing a white coat, but Lu Yuanqing's eyes were only on Gu Baoxia, who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed.
She still had many tubes inserted into her body.
Lu Yuanqing staggered to the bedside and softly called out, "Gu Baoxia, I'm back."
Wu Cisheng walked up to the doctor in the white coat and said something.
The doctor in the white coat had a look of profound sorrow at the sight of death. After listening to Wu Cisheng's words, he took out a syringe from the box.
They inserted the tube into Gu Baoxia's arm.
"He should have woken up in three minutes, but he just woke up..."
The unspoken words of the doctor in the white coat were something everyone in the room, except for the unconscious person lying there, could understand.
"Thank you!" Wu Cisheng said calmly.
The man in the white coat sighed almost imperceptibly, then turned and left the room.
Three minutes is a short time, but as Lu Yuanqing sat on the edge of the bed and stared at the person on the bed, those three minutes felt incredibly long. No matter how long he waited, Gu Baoxia would not open her eyes, smile at him, or speak to him.
"Huh!!"
The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop when a sudden sound startled Lu Yuanqing from his reverie.
"Lu, Yuan, Qing!"
Gu Baoxia opened her eyes with difficulty and finally saw the person she had been waiting for.
Wu Cisheng took one last deep look at her, then turned and left, leaving the two of them alone.
He wanted to memorize people deeply.
But when Gu Baoxia was rescued last night, she had already said her final goodbye to him.
For the rest of the time, she endured the hardship and waited for Lu Yuanqing.
Wu Cisheng didn't know why Gu Baoxia insisted on waiting for Lu Yuanqing. Perhaps it was related to her going to the Lu family cemetery, or perhaps it was related to her falling into a coma there.
But all of this has little to do with him anymore.
He appears kind and gentle, but only he knows how cold-hearted he truly is.
There are very few people he truly cares about.
Gu Baoxia is the most important one.
Now that he's leaving him, there's nothing left in this world for him to care about.
Lu Yuanqing knew that Wu Cisheng had gone out.
But he couldn't care less about that now; his mind was completely focused on Gu Baoxia, who was speaking intermittently.
Lu Yuanqing really wanted to interrupt her and stop her from going through all that trouble.
However, Gu Baoxia insisted that she tell Lu Yuanqing everything she had seen.
Although she is a member of the Gu family.
But she no longer considers herself a member of the Gu family.
In her heart, Lu Yuanqing was her family, her brother.
She couldn't let him remain unaware of the deeply buried truth for the rest of his life.
"Revenge...revenge!" Gu Baoxia said weakly but firmly, enunciating each word clearly.
Lu Yuanqing just stared at her blankly, his throat sore and painful. He opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
Suddenly, a thousand thoughts raced through his mind, and abruptly, he pulled out a small bottle.
Lu Yuanqing didn't know if feeding Gu Baoxia now would still be effective, but he stubbornly didn't want Gu Baoxia to die like this.
With trembling hands, he poured out the only pill from the white jade bottle.
Lu Yuanqing prepared to feed it to Gu Baoxia without hesitation.
But Gu Baoxia stared wide-eyed at Lu Yuanqing's face, muttering intermittently, "Revenge...Revenge!!"
She could no longer perceive anything; she stubbornly wanted Lu Yuanqing's answer.
Lu Yuanqing's throat was sore that he could only nod hastily.
He nodded as he fed the pill to Gu Baoxia.
He wanted to feed her.
But when I put my hand to his mouth, I couldn't feel any breath.
Lu Yuanqing was startled and looked at Gu Baoxia.
Gu Baoxia's tightly closed lips curled up slightly.
Lu Yuanqing remained motionless, as if trying to feed her the pill, and stood there stunned for a while.
When Wu Cisheng came in again and saw the situation inside, tears welled up in his eyes.
Then he turned and left.
Less than a minute later, firecrackers went off.
Lu Yuanqing came to his senses.
He numbly put the pill back into the small jade bottle, and only when a drop of rain dripped from his hand did Lu Yuanqing realize that he was already in tears.
Gu Baoxia has passed away.
Lu Yuanqing had no idea how he got through those days.
I felt completely disoriented.
The dead should be respected, and they should be laid to rest in peace.
Gu Baoxia is forever buried underground.
The matter is over.
Lu Yuanqing called Lu Mingdong over.
"Third Uncle, don't be sad. Take care of yourself and don't worry us." After returning to the village, Lu Mingdong's panic intensified.
The closer it got to Lu Yuanqing's birthday, the more panicked he became.
Lu Yuanqing wearily raised his hand to indicate that he was alright.
"I called you here to tell you something. You must do it."
"Okay, I will definitely do it!" Lu Mingdong agreed without asking any questions.
His words are always reliable.
"Your father could have avoided dying back then."
"What?" Lu Mingdong was somewhat dazed.
He hadn't heard anything about his parents in a long time.
Lu Yuanqing said, "About half a month ago, Gu Hewang and Fang Qingqing went back to Shihua Village. At that time, your Aunt Baoxia went back to the Gu family and overheard the two arguing, revealing the truth about your father's death."
"Back then, on the battlefield, your father was injured while saving Gu Yingqing. But he wasn't dead yet. It was Gu Yingqing who was jealous of your father. He ran away and didn't care about the person who saved his life, which led to your father's death."
“Before your Aunt Baoxia died, she kept talking to me about ‘revenge.’ I didn’t nod, and she didn’t breathe her last.”
"Xiao Dong, your third uncle really wants to avenge your father himself, but I don't think I have the ability anymore. You must avenge your father, do you hear me!"
Lu Mingdong: "I will definitely get justice for my father, Uncle. Don't worry."
Despite the overwhelming amount of information, Lu Mingdong quickly grasped the whole picture.
Upon learning the truth about his father's death, Lu Mingdong was consumed by rage.
During the time his third uncle was away, the person Lu Mingdong missed the most was Lu Yuanjun.
A father's image in his child's heart is the greatest.
Moreover, Lu Yuanjun was a hero in the first place.
When he was so hungry he couldn't stand it, he would miss Lu Yuanjun terribly.
He thought that if his father were still alive, he wouldn't be in such a terrible situation.
Lu Mingdong can no longer remember the discomfort of hunger when he was a child, but he can still remember his father clearly.
Now that he knows how unjustly Lu Yuanjun died, his anger and hatred are even greater.
Gu Yingqing is still alive and well, living a life of respect and admiration.
What gives him the right?!
