The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 575 Long-winded
"I asked the master to calculate it, and the feng shui here is very good." The uncle lit up a cigarette and took a puff in an old-fashioned way. His body was a little fatter and his hairline was slightly higher. After working hard these days, he was obviously older. .

"After the first seven days, I will ask people to come over and add cement, put up the monument with the inscriptions on it, and plant two cypress trees."

"In the future, I will come over to visit their graves during every new year and festival. If you two have time, please come back to see them more often."

"Uncle, thank you very much these days." Gao Yang said, "I really don't know what I would do without you."

"Don't talk about two families in one family. This is my job." The uncle sighed: "Yangyang, Xinxin, originally I wanted to ask you to come back and live with me, but your parents, at the beginning, I moved to the city so that you could go to a good school."

Gao Yang nodded: "We can take care of ourselves, uncle, don't worry."

The uncle patted Gao Yang and said, "Yangyang, you will be the backbone of your family from now on. You must take good care of Xinxin. If you really have any difficulties, don't worry about it. Call the uncle at any time. Do you understand?"

"it is good."

The uncle glanced at Gao Yang and Gao Xinxin: "The mourning hall is about to be demolished, and the funeral team still needs to settle the final payment. I'll go back to deal with it first. Don't stay too long, you two. In the afternoon, we will count the favor money and expenses together."

"it is good."

The uncle left, but Gao Yang and Gao Xinxin were still kneeling.

The brother and sister just stared at the grave piled with fresh soil, stunned.

Mom and Dad are dead, everything is so unreal, it doesn't even feel like a nightmare, more like a ridiculous joke.

I don't know how long it took before Gao Xinxin said quietly: "Brother, tell me, if we die too, can the family be reunited?"

Gao Yang was taken aback.

"Gao Xinxin!" Gao Yang pointed to the grave in front of him: "You say this in front of your parents, do you want them to die in peace!"

Gao Xinxin's eyes turned red immediately, and her voice trembled: "But, but I really feel uncomfortable..."

Gao Yang's voice became softer: "Xinxin, you must be well, do you hear me?"

"Brother, you too, I only have you." Gao Xinxin cried again.

"Well, we all have to live well. As long as we still remember our parents, grandma and grandpa, they have not really left."

"Ah."

Gao Yang gently held Gao Xinxin in his arms, preventing her from seeing his face.

Disarm [mental arms].

Gao Yang closed his eyes and clenched his fists.

Gao Xinxin, actually I’ve thought about it all.

But I don’t want you to think that way. You have to be strong, go through it, be happy, and absolutely, absolutely cannot bow to fate.

……

The two siblings knelt at their parents' graves for a long time, then kowtowed in front of their grandmother and grandfather's graves before going down the mountain.

After lunch, Gao Yang and his uncle settled the follow-up matters, and then returned to the city with Gao Xinxin.

At 03:30 in the afternoon, Gao Yang sent Gao Xinxin back to school.

Gao Xinxin was listless and wanted to take a few more days off, but Gao Yang refused.

Gao Yang knew very well that Gao Xinxin must not be allowed to stay at home alone with her thoughts at this time. She must be given something to do in order to get over the pain as soon as possible.

On an autumn afternoon, the two of them were sitting on the back seat of the bus, wandering and stopping along the way.

Gao Yang thought about it for a long time and finally said, "Xinxin, why don't you switch to a boarding house?"

Gao Xinxin is a day student. She goes home to sleep at night and goes to school early in the morning for self-study. It is actually quite a rush, but it is always good for her parents to be at home at that time.

Now, his parents are gone and the house is empty and cold. Gao Xinxin goes back alone every day and sees things hurt. Gao Yang is not at ease at all.

Gao Yang originally thought that Gao Xinxin would not agree, but his sister agreed easily: "Okay."

It seems that Gao Xinxin doesn't want to face that family alone.

……

As Gao Xinxin's guardian, Gao Yang had a long talk with the head teacher. The head teacher expressed sadness and regret about Gao Yang's parents and agreed to let Gao Xinxin transfer to a boarding school midway.

Gao Yang paid the relevant fees, received some daily necessities, and sent Gao Xinxin to the dormitory.

Walking downstairs, Gao Xinxin took the sheet from Gao Yang's hand and said, "Brother, please go back. I'm fine."

Gao Yang nodded: "If you need anything, call me anytime."

"Okay." "Tell me in advance that you're on vacation and I'll pick you up."

"it is good."

"It's getting colder. Wear more clothes."

"know."

"The food in the cafeteria is definitely not as good as at home, but you can't be picky about food. It's a time when you're growing tall. I'll send you some food later."

"Will not."

"There will inevitably be friction when getting along with roommates. Don't cause trouble, and don't be afraid of getting into trouble. If anyone wants to bully you, tell me..."

"Brother." Gao Xinxin interrupted Gao Yang, "You are so long-winded."

Gao Yang was stunned. When did he become so verbose?

He cheered up, smiled, and patted his sister on the shoulder, "Okay, come on up."

"Yeah." Gao Xinxin nodded and went upstairs carrying his things.

……

Gao Yang left No.[-] Middle School and returned home.

The days in late autumn are not long, and it is already evening after five o'clock.

Opening the door, the living room was empty. The curtains were not opened, blocking the setting sun from the window, but the red light was still shining through, and the entire living room was dyed with a faint orange outline.

Gao Yang changed his shoes and walked into the entrance hall.

There were still unfinished steamed buns and half a cup of soy milk on the table. The steamed buns were sour and the soy milk was almost solidified.

Gao Yang could imagine that on the night of the 11th, his parents knew that he would never return, so they prepared breakfast for Gao Xinxin in the kitchen in advance.

Gao Xinxin got up early in the morning on the 12th, hurriedly went to the kitchen to take out the hot breakfast, took a few bites and went out.

She didn't even think that her parents were gone.

She probably thought that her mother went to the market to buy groceries and her father was still lying in bed in the room. She must have opened the door very lightly when she went out, so as not to disturb her father.

Gao Yang didn't think about it anymore. Overthinking was a bad habit of his and he must change it in the future.

He looked at his parents' bedroom door, struggled for a minute, and finally pushed it open.

An old-fashioned double bed with two bedside tables. On the bedside table on the left is a small mirror, some bottles of skin care products, a few rubber bands, and a pink and white Moon Rabbit doll, which is Gao Xinxin's The doll I caught once was given to my mother.

On the bedside table on the right are several financial magazines and books on success, a multi-function flashlight, a thermos cup, and a famous watch that has been used for many years. It was bought by my father for business purposes.

On the wall between the beds is an old-fashioned love wall lamp, with parents' "wedding photos" hanging on it.

My father wore a shiny slicked back hair and a blue casual suit with broad shoulders. My mother wore a white headband, curly hair, a light-colored floral shirt and a long yellow skirt. These were all young and fashionable clothes at the time.

The two of them stood in the studio of the photo studio, with a famous landscape behind them. Their smiles were a little reserved, but their eyes shone with joy.

On the left wall is a red oak standing cabinet, and a clothes rack in the corner. On it hangs my mother's hat and coat, as well as her recently received birthday gift, a wool scarf.

Bits and pieces of memories instantly flooded into Gao Yang's head, once again breaking through his defensive barriers.

Gao Yang activated [Spiritual Arms], walked quickly to the window, opened the curtains, and pushed open the window. The bloody sunset instantly filled everything in the room - his mother loved to bask in the sun before she was alive, and she also liked to open the windows to let the air circulate. .

Gao Yang left the room and closed the door.

He was a little top-heavy, and then he remembered that he hadn't eaten anything all day.He walked into the kitchen and opened the freezer. There were eggs, milk, some seasonal vegetables and various sauces inside.

Gao Yang took out eggs, chives and some cabbage and cooked himself a bowl of noodles.

After cooking the noodles, Gao Yang took out a glass bottle of mustard and took a spoonful. Then he sat back at the dining table and took two big bites.

But the noodles were in my mouth, and after chewing them for a long time, I just couldn't swallow them.

The materials are the same, the method is the same, and the seasonings are the same, but why, the taste is just different.

There was a "buzz" sound, and a familiar voice sounded in my ears.

——"Well, it's so delicious! All the delicacies from mountains and seas, golden syrup and jade wine are not as good as the bowl of noodles my wife ordered!"

——"Eat your face, no one will think you are dumb if you don't speak."

Gao Yang raised his head suddenly. There was nothing around the dining table except his long and narrow shadow cast on the wall.
