Chapter 363 The Remaining Paintings

The old head, covered with bruises, lay weakly on the hospital bed, with a calmness in his eyes that I couldn't understand.

I opened my mouth, wanting to ask him if he needed to think about it again, but the words felt redundant when I reached my lips, and in the end, nothing came out.

"Boss Li." Gutou's hand was almost out of strength, and the yellow talisman stained red by blood trembled between his fingers.

I looked at him and reached out to take it.

"Thank you." Gutou's hand fell back on the bed, showing a grateful smile and waving to me slightly.

I moved closer to him.

"There is a painting in my medicine cabinet. Take it away. When you go to the grave, be sure to take it with you. If you meet a very dangerous person, give the painting to him."

"Maybe it can save your life."

The voice of the ancient head was as thin as the moan of a mosquito.

My heart skipped a beat.

painting?

Before he had time to think too much, Old Man Liu's voice of refusal came out.

"Old Bones, I don't want your ghost drawing charm."

"I, I don't know a lot of people, I have no future, I can't help my baby, it's better for you to stay with him."

"Old Liu Tou, it's enough for me to survive for a few more decades. It's time to take a break. Please spare me."

The old man turned his head with difficulty and looked at Old Man Liu with a smile.

"When I fled to the village, you were the only one who extended a helping hand to me, a foreigner. Without you, I wouldn't be alive today."

"You, you" Old Man Liu's eyes turned red.

"Boss Li, let's do it. Zining will be back soon." Gutou closed his eyes.

There were hurried footsteps in the corridor outside the ward.

I sighed and put the bloody yellow talisman into Old Man Liu's pocket.

Old man Liu closed his eyes, and two lines of tears slid down his rough face.

"Grandpa Gu, the water is here!"

Bai Zining took the kettle and ran back to the ward.

"What happen to you guys?"

Sensing something was wrong with the atmosphere in the room, and seeing Gu Gu's head closing his eyes, he nervously ran to the bedside.

"Zining, it's okay." Gutou opened his eyes with all his strength and looked at Bai Zining lovingly. His eyes were already cloudy and lifeless.

"Grandpa Gu, let me pour you some water." Bai Zining breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and poured a small glass of water, blowing it carefully to cool it.

Then he held the ancient head and carefully fed the other person to drink water.

The old man only took a sip, with a happy smile on his face.

"well"

His wrinkles relaxed, and even after saying two good words, his head suddenly tilted to one side weakly.

Bai Zining was shocked.

The paper cup fell to the ground, and he was stunned.

The air seemed to freeze, Bai Zining opened his mouth, and it took him a long time to shout hoarsely: "Grandpa Gu"

There was no heartbreaking shouting. Bai Zining was stunned for a long time, his eyes were distracted, as if his soul had left his body.

Dabiao and I just sighed.

When I walked to the window, I wanted to light a cigarette. I took out the cigarette case and suddenly remembered that this was the ward, so I had to put it back.

"baby."

Old man Liu's trembling voice pulled Bai Zining back.

"Master!" Bai Zining looked at Old Man Liu.

"Baby, I'm still here, okay, your grandpa Gu, he wants you to live well." Old man Liu said with red eyes.

Bai Zining closed his eyes.

The thin fists were clenched, and the veins were stretched.

a long time.

He opened his eyes, carefully placed the ancient head's head, touched his eyes, covered him with a quilt, and tucked the corners of the quilt.

The ancient head looked peaceful, as if asleep.

"Master, aren't you leaving?" Bai Zining walked to Old Man Liu's bed and held his hand tightly.

"Don't worry, baby, I won't leave. I still want to see you go to college, find a good job, and marry a good wife."

Old Man Liu's spirits improved a lot and there was light in his eyes.

"Master, I will transfer you to another hospital tomorrow. I'm not discussing this with you, I'm just telling you." Bai Zining said calmly.

"Baby, don't touch the money you paid for school." Old Man Liu said anxiously.

"Master, I am over 18 years old. I am an adult and have the right to make my own decisions." Bai Zining's tone was undeniable, and he had matured a lot overnight.

"No, no! Your grandpa Gu won't agree to it either."

"Master, please stop talking. This matter has been decided. You should lie down and have a good rest." Bai Zining tucked old man Liu into bed.

Old man Liu looked at him blankly.

The ward fell silent.

Although Old Man Liu came back to life, his body was still very weak. After a while, he lost strength and fell asleep again.

"Boss Li, thank you for saving my grandfather."

Outside the ward, Bai Zining solemnly thanked us.

"I didn't help much." I reached out and patted his thin shoulder, "Live a good life, this is what your grandpa Gu wants to see."

"I know." Bai Zining nodded sensibly.

After hesitating for a moment, I said: "If possible, you'd better go to school. Your grandpa will be fine."

"Thank you, I have decided on this matter."

Bai Zining is indeed very stubborn.

"You two have been busy all night. You must be tired. Go to my grandpa Gu's place to rest. As long as I'm here, I'll be fine."

"There's no need to be in such a hurry, we're not tired yet, and we can stay here with you."

"These are all things I should face myself. I can't ask others to help me for the rest of my life." Bai Zining smiled maturely.

"All right."

There was an almost decisive calmness in his eyes. I knew I couldn't persuade him, so I nodded and left the hospital with Dabiao.

"Brother, I always feel that something is wrong with this kid. Is he too calm when encountering such a big thing?"

On the way back to the village, Dabiao said with a frown.

"It's not easy for a child from a poor family to take charge of his family early." I said sincerely.

"To be honest, what we need most is help from others, but he sent us away. Isn't he trying to do something stupid?"

"Probably not, he still has a grandfather to take care of."

"I wish I was overthinking it."

Dabiao shook his head, but my heart became uneasy.

Daling Village.

We went back to the old house and rummaged through the old medicine cabinets.

The medicinal materials are sparse, and they are all common varieties.

Finally, I dug out a painting from the bottom cabinet.

The scroll is not big, about the same size as the door god paintings posted on the door. It is rolled into a long tube and put in a cloth bag.

Very old, with yellowed edges.

When I got this painting, I felt an ominous feeling in my heart.

The scroll opened, and the content inside made my heart beat faster.

how come.

"Brother, found it?"

Da Biao leaned over and looked at the canvas curiously.

"Yeah, I found it." I immediately rolled up the painting, put it back in the bag, and stuffed it into my backpack.

"Is this painting an antique? It's a very valuable one. Otherwise, Gutou wouldn't have given it to you before he died."

Dabiao became even more curious when he saw how nervous I looked.

"It's not a good thing, don't ask too much." I reset the cabinet, walked out of Gutou's house with Dabiao, and closed the door carefully.

"Let's go and wait at Liu's house."
