Undying Body

Du Shaoyan didn't react, he asked back: "What did you say?"

"I'll tell you to go back to attend the funeral, whether you go back or not is up to you." Du Shaobo finished speaking and prepared to leave.

"What nonsense are you talking about! How could Dad..." Du Shaoyan rushed over and grabbed him by the collar: "How can you make fun of such things!"

Du Shaobo also grabbed his collar, and he yelled at his brother: "Do you think I'm joking?!"

Du Shaoyan looked into his eyes, and he let go of his hand: "I don't believe it..." He turned around in a daze: "Chang Sheng, I don't believe it, he must be lying to me."

Chang Sheng couldn't speak, Du Shaoyan turned to look at his brother again: "Why did you tell me now, bastard!"

"What happened this morning, Dr. Chen said... Dad doesn't want to see anyone." Du Shaobo's voice choked up: "I didn't see Dad for the last time either."

Du Shaoyan's legs were weak, he shook his head in disbelief: "Dad, Dad..."

-

The Du family’s cemetery was purchased very early on. The independent floor was surrounded by marble circles, like a single-family courtyard. Although the Du family was rich, it was not prosperous. The family members stood in a row in front of the tomb. Is the company leaders and business representatives.

Du Shaoyan was wearing a pure black suit, kept his head down, and didn't speak until the funeral was over.

After all the ceremonies were over, the crowd dispersed. Du Shaoyan raised his head and walked towards the health doctor of Du's family.

Doctor Chen seemed to be waiting for him, watching him approach: "What do you want to ask, young master?"

"Why didn't Dad want to see anyone in the end?" Du Shaoyan looked at him: "Why didn't he ask me to see him?"

"Are you asking me this?" Dr. Chen was a little surprised: "I thought you would ask me if you are his son."

"I already knew the answer."

"Are you so confident?"

Du Shaoyan shook his head: "I trust my mother, even if I don't understand why my father said that."

Dr. Chen hesitated for a while, then said: "Mr. Du said that he will tell you after a few years, but I think you should know that the last gift Mr. Du said to give you is self-reliance."

"Dad thinks I'm not self-reliant, so he kicked me out of the house?" Du Shaoyan nodded: "Since Dad told me to tell me after a few years, then wait a few years. Now I just want to know why Dad didn't ask me to see him in the end."

"Mr. Du once told me that he wanted to go alone quietly and didn't want to hear a lot of crying, and the person he really wanted to see should already be waiting for him in another world."

Du Shaoyan nodded silently, and said for a while: "I understand something, goodbye."

"Wait a minute," Dr. Chen called to stop him: "In this world, the person Mr. Du loves the most is you, and he hopes that he will not make a wrong move."

Du Shaoyan didn't look back: "I won't."

Because he is his father's son.

Du Shaoyan walked down to the cemetery, Du Shaobo stood by the car and waited for him: "You come home with me."

"I will go back, but not now." Du Shaoyan walked by his side: "I will go back by myself, not with you."

Du Shaobo looked at his younger brother's back, he sighed long, and Ruan Mingsha poked her head out of the car window: "Don't talk to a bastard about this, Shaobo, let's go home."

Du Shaobo got into the car, and Ruan Mingsha took off the soft hat with the black veil. After removing the cover of the veil, it could be seen that she had become very thin during this period, and her plump face was obviously sunken. Du Shaobo pressed his mother's hand: "Mom, don't be too sad."

"It's much better now," Ruan Mingsha held her son's hand: "I just can't figure out why he won't tell us when he's sick, and won't see us in the end. Anyway, we're married..."

"My brother has been working alone all his life, and he has long been used to being alone," Du Shouxin, who was sitting in the front seat, turned his head: "What I can't figure out is why the will is sealed in another law firm. It's the company's legal adviser, can't he still trust me?"

Du Shaobo gave him a cold look: "Father must have arranged for him, and I don't want outsiders to intervene in family affairs."

Du Shouxin asked sarcastically, "I'm your uncle, so am I considered an outsider?"

"Stop talking, I'm tired and don't want to hear this." Ruan Mingsha leaned on the car seat: "Let me be quiet."

Du Shaobo rested his mother's head on his shoulder: "Mom, you can sleep for a while, I will call you when you get home."

The black Bentley drove out of the cemetery and passed by Du Shaoyan who was walking alone. The boy stopped slightly. It was his father's car.

Then he continued to walk forward, even if there was no car to pick him up, there was still someone waiting for him in front.

The pines and cypresses outside the cemetery were verdant, Chang Sheng stood outside the garden, greeted him as soon as he came out: "Are you all right?"

Du Shaoyan shook his head: "Go home."

Chang Sheng was very worried about him: "Tell me if you are sad..."

"Sad..." Du Shaoyan suddenly sighed: "Is it useful to be sad? Will Dad come back to life?"

It was a bit difficult for Chang Sheng to understand his thoughts, or perhaps Du Shaoyan was actually exactly the same as Mr. Du in his bones, so calm and cold.

Du Shaoyan continued: "I still have a lot of things to do, I don't want to disappoint my father's hope."

He continued to walk forward, and Chang Sheng carefully followed him: "Young master, don't worry about everything, although I don't know much, but I am willing to help you share, you look like this, I, I... ..."

"I'm normal, and I feel that there is a force supporting me now." Du Shaoyan turned his head to look at Chang Sheng: "You are right."

Chang Sheng didn't understand: "What?"

"You were right when you said before that Dad wanted to protect me." Du Shaoyan stopped: "I used to think you were comforting me, but now I know that Dad is protecting me. He has cancer and he is dying. He told the doctors not to say it, he was afraid that I would worry about being alone and do irrational things, I understand now.”

Chang Sheng looked at him: "Sir, is it because you have cancer?"

"After he passed away and left the hospital, the doctor told us that it was my father who forbade them to say that he was my father. I should feel his concern for me more than anyone else, but I didn't understand at the time. He deliberately said that I was not him. My son, he just wanted me to leave home, I think my father knew that woman wanted to harm me, and he forcibly forced me to leave home to keep me safe," Du Shaoyan said in a low voice: "Although I don't understand why he Indulging that woman, but I believe he must have a reason, just like I didn't understand why he said those words before, one day I will understand."

Chang Sheng stretched out his hand to hold Du Shaoyan's hand: "Sir, more than anyone else, I hope the young master is safe and healthy."

"I just went to my father's personal doctor, and he told me that the last gift my father gave me was to be self-reliant. I understand a little bit. I used to be self-willed at home before. My father must think that I am too immature and useless. He wants me to go outside. Go to the world, I shouldn't resent him..."

Chang Sheng could understand his feelings, and he felt a heavy heartache.

The love of parents is the same in every age.

On that night more than 600 years ago, he was surrounded by people. They said he was a monster and an ominous person and wanted him to die.

His mother was very old at that time, she was very thin and small, with snow-white hair, she desperately stood in front of those people, using her frail body as a mother to protect him, she yelled desperately: "Don't hurt him ! He's not! He's not!"

The crowd rushed over, and her other sons came to pull her, but she refused to leave. The woman who had been submissive all her life desperately protected her son, her voice seemed to be torn apart: "He is my son, he is not a monster, he I was born, he is not a monster..."

No one listened to her explanation, their torches approached, he grabbed his mother's hand, trying to push her back to the safe side, he accepted his fate, even if he was burned to death by his own clan, he could not implicate his mother.

The woman grabbed his hand hard, her old face was full of tears, she cried and said: "It's not your fault, it's not your fault, you go, you have to live well..."

His mother's tears burned his heart like fire, and at that moment he no longer accepted his fate, he wanted to live.

He fled, another kind of running away from home, wandering for a hundred years.

-

They took the bus home, the sky was getting cloudy, and it was slowly raining.

There were few people on the bus, and the raindrops hit the glass and receded, and the traces that slid over were like tears. Du Shaoyan was sitting in the last row of the bus. He leaned on the glass and looked out the window. On his face, he seemed to be crying.

But actually no, his face was always clean.

Sitting beside him, Chang Sheng thought of a lot of comforting words, but felt that he couldn't really comfort him, so he just held his hand.

Du Shaoyan held his hand instead.

When the car arrived at a station, several people got off, and the car was even more empty.

"I used to hate him and thought he was sorry for my mother," Du Shaoyan said softly, "I was still young when my mother was sick, and I can't remember what happened at that time. After she passed away, my father took away all the things related to my mother at home. Go on, don't allow others to mention it, I think he is too ruthless, I hated him from then on, and he married that woman not long after, I was only eight years old at the time, I took advantage of them not paying attention when the wedding banquet started. He was very angry when he broke the cup they were drinking, and asked someone to drag me down. I hated him so much at that time, I wished he was dead..." He sighed: "It turned out that he is really dead now, buried in the Next to my mother's tombstone, I suddenly felt that he loved my mother very much."

Chang Sheng looked at his indifferent profile, and when he said these words, he still had a calm expression, as if it had nothing to do with him.

"I used to be young, and I couldn't figure it out. I thought that if I didn't mention it, I didn't have it in my heart." Du Shaoyan slowly turned his head: "Father was alone in the end. Doctor Chen said that the person he wanted to see was waiting for him in another world. I believe Yes, he only loves his mother. I remember it. Before my mother passed away, my father was not that old. He was always in good health. When his mother passed away, his hair turned gray, and he seemed to have aged ten years overnight. I saw my father in those years Everyone said that he was old, if he didn't love someone very much, how could he turn gray, how could he be old, why would he never mention it, how could he... love me so much."

Chang Sheng looked at his dark pupils, and he felt the sadness in them. He mustered up his courage and said, "Sir and Madam, I hope the young master can be happy, don't be so sad."

"Dad loves me very much. He is gone. Mom loves me too. She is gone. I will go back to see my grandma this time. Grandma is very old. She is so old that she can only see things clearly during the day. She will be there one day." I won’t be here, and then I’ll be alone,” Du Shaoyan repeated, “Alone.”

"I will be with you." Chang Sheng said suddenly, "I will not leave you alone."

The car was driving very slowly, the rain was pattering on the car windows, and the moisture in the air penetrated into the bottom of my heart, making people slightly chilly.

Instead, Du Shaoyan smiled faintly: "Can you accompany me now, can you accompany me for the rest of your life? You are so much older than me, and you will always go before me."

The bus stopped again, and two more people got out of the bus, and they were the only passengers left in the compartment.

Du Shaoyan went on to say: "Look at this car, some people sat together at the beginning, then gradually some people arrived at the stop, got off the car and left, and finally there were fewer and fewer people, and the fate between people is like this, just like this. It's only for a short while."

Chang Sheng held his hand tightly. He has always been bad at words, and he didn't know how to cheer him up. His appearance made him very sad, so sad that he couldn't say anything.

"Chang Sheng, I think you are very pitiful. You said that your family members are gone. Do you also lose relatives, parents, wives, and children again and again?" Du Shaoyan looked at him: "You are really pitiful."

"Yes, so I know how you feel," Chang Sheng finally said, "I'll be with the young master for the rest of my life, I can."

"Fool, life is long, who knows what will happen in the future." Du Shaoyan smiled, and also clenched Chang Sheng's hand.

The car drove staggeringly, and the sound of rain outside the window never stopped.

Chang Sheng clearly understands the meaning of his promise, he is not impulsive, nor is he talking nonsense, as long as he says he will do it.

He said that he wanted to accompany him for the rest of his life, not for Du Shaoyan's life, but for Chang Sheng's life.

His life is not as long as 60 years, 80 years, or even 100 years. He has a long and endless years waiting for him. Forever, it is so far away, he will live, live forever, he will live forever. I will accompany this boy until he becomes an adult, until he is old, until he dies, until he becomes a white tombstone, he will accompany him.

In the barren years after he lost himself, he was willing to guard a monument and keep it alone.

This promise will never be broken.
