Rebirth after the apocalypse: I create a new world with space!

the other side.

Seeing that the other party was finally willing to accept his points card, Uncle Ya felt relieved.

He smiled contentedly and gestured to Li Luo:

"Thank you, little kid. I will remember your kindness forever!"

Then, as if he remembered something, Uncle Ya gestured again:

"Baby, what's your name?"

Seeing Uncle Ya asking this, Li Luo immediately fell into memories.

She remembered that when she first met Uncle Ya, they didn't know any sign language, and they both communicated by writing.

Later, Li Luo spent more time with Uncle Ya and learned some simple sign language.

She also wanted Uncle Ya to teach her how to express her name in sign language.

It’s a pity that there is no sign language to express the two words "Li Luo".

But even so, Uncle Ya found a sign language gesture to call Li Luo.

At that time, Li Luo thought that this sign language might be a homophone of her name.

She also asked Uncle Ya if it was true, but Uncle Ya just smiled and shook his head without giving her an accurate answer.

Until Uncle Ya died of illness, she never learned from him whether the sign language was related to her name.

Later, Li Luo met a deaf-mute girl in a shelter.

Because the little girl was also deaf-mute, Li Luo felt a sense of familiarity with her, so he chatted with her for a while longer.

When the little girl asked her what her name was, she told the girl the sign language that the mute uncle had used to call her.

It was also at that time that Li Luo found out.

It turns out that sign language means "granddaughter".

Uncle Ya has always treated her as his granddaughter.

.........

Yes, isn’t it just treating her as a granddaughter?

Although Uncle Ya had helped so many people, before he died, he left all his belongings to Li Luo alone.

There are nearly a hundred crystal cores alone.

As a deaf-mute old man, he must have spent so much effort to earn so many crystal cores.

If we use those crystal cores to exchange for medicine, it will be enough for Uncle Ya to eat for at least another half a year.

But Uncle Ya was reluctant to use it.

He knew his illness was incurable.

He felt that he had lived long enough.

While I can still work, I just want to earn more crystal cores for Li Luo.

He didn't want to become a burden and a drag on the young people after he lost his ability to work.

.........

Thinking of this, Li Luo's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

She felt so sorry for Uncle Ya.

She should pay more attention to the search for Uncle Ya.

If she hadn't happened to meet Uncle Ya today and saved him...

She didn't dare to think about what would happen to Uncle Ya.

How should he, a deaf-mute old man, who has no one to rely on in this shelter, cope with the situation?

Li Luo fell into deep self-blame.

.........

"Little kid? What's wrong with you?" Uncle Ya patted the dazed Li Luo and gestured with sign language.

Li Luo was brought back to his senses by the light pat on his shoulder.

She quickly shook off her chaotic thoughts and replied using sign language:

"I'm fine, old man."

Then she gestured again:

"You can call me..."

Li Luo made the sign language for "granddaughter".

Seeing this, Uncle Ya stood there in a daze.

He was at a loss.

Seeing Uncle Ya's stunned expression, Li Luo felt a little embarrassed.

I seemed to be too enthusiastic and scared the old man...

In order to break the deadlock, Li Luo took out a pen and paper from the space and wrote on it:

[Old uncle, my name is Li Luo, but I don’t know how to express these two words in sign language, so I asked you to call me your granddaughter. It’s okay if you don’t want to, you can call me anything.]

After reading the words on the paper, Uncle Ya was no longer in a daze.

He gestured to Li Luo with an expectant and nervous look:

"Baby, are you willing to let me call you granddaughter?"

"Of course, I do!" Li Luo nodded and gestured vigorously.

After getting Li Luo's confirmation, the softest part of Ya Bo's heart was touched.

.........

Uncle Ya’s real name is He Qingguo.

He once had a happy family.

But since the car accident more than ten years ago that caused the death of all his family members, He Qingguo became a lonely man.

He thought about committing suicide to end it all.

But he was too ashamed to see his deceased family members.

He believed that he was responsible for the car accident.

If he hadn't gone to the social event that day and had gone to pick up his wife and children in person, nothing would have happened to them.

Just like that, He Qingguo gave up everything he could give up and decided to live alone until the end of his life as a way of punishing himself.

From another perspective, his behavior of doing good deeds and helping others is also a way of atonement.

.........

In fact, He Qingguo's life is really miserable.

He was not born deaf and dumb.

The reason why he is deaf and dumb is that he was deliberately retaliated by the criminal gang after he saved a child who was almost abducted by human traffickers.

When the family of the child he rescued found out, they did not express any reaction and were instead eager to distance themselves from him.

He Qingguo did not complain about this.

He felt that these were all punishments from God.

Even all the misfortunes, big and small, that happened to him later were attributed by him to punishment from God.

At this point, He Qingguo became a mute.

He has helped many people with things big and small.

I have also been helped by many people.

But no one has ever really wanted to have anything to do with a lonely old man like him.

Even though he saved the other person's life, the other person only expressed his gratitude in a distant manner.

But today, he met someone who was willing to let him call her "granddaughter".

Maybe this name is nothing special in other people's minds, it's just a name.

But in He Qingguo's heart, this is the redemption he has always wanted.

He has suffered a lot these years.

Just like duckweed in the water.

He has no roots, no one to rely on, and no one to rely on him.

This feeling of loneliness tormented him all the time.

Deep down, he had always longed for the emotion that he had been missing for more than ten years.

Originally, He Qingguo thought he would go through the last stage of his life alone.

He accepted his fate and did it voluntarily.

But at this moment, someone suddenly extended a hand of salvation to him.

This feeling is like a person who has been drowning for many years grabbing a life-saving straw.

He Qingguo was very conflicted. He felt that he should follow his original decision and live out his life alone.

But he instinctively wanted to grab this life-saving straw.

During the struggle, He Qingguo was ultimately unable to suppress his instincts and walked towards the light of salvation.

"Okay! Granddaughter!" He Qingguo's eyes were red, and he gestured to Li Luo tremblingly, "From now on, you are my granddaughter!"

"Okay, Grandpa!" Li Luo also gestured with red eyes.

After calming down his excitement, He Qingguo took the paper and pen from Li Luo and wrote three words on it:

【He Qingguo】

“That’s my grandfather’s name.”
