Chapter 181 Gong Zhixian passed away
~
There was a lot of laughter at the dinner table. Lu Yan and Qin Zongwu seemed to have forgotten their personal feelings and started chatting and laughing with the old leaders.
Ruan Zhao was staring at this scene in a daze when Gong Zhixian suddenly pointed at him. "Hey, Xiao Ruan, the song you sang in the art troupe last time was really nice. It was different from the songs I've heard before."
Today is Chinese New Year, shouldn't you sing another song for us?"
When the others heard this, they all looked at Ruan Zhao.
Zheng Huichun followed up and said, "Yes, you are our only female comrade today, so the singing task is given to you."
Qin Ze and Qin Mu followed suit and applauded when they heard it.
Qin Mu: "Mom, we want to hear you sing too."
Qin Ze: "Mom, today is New Year's Day, please sing a song."
Ruan Zhao came back to his senses and saw everyone looking at him expectantly, so he didn't spoil the fun. "Okay, but there are no instruments here, so I can only sing a cappella."
Lu Weimin immediately said, "Just sing a cappella."
Ruan Zhao thought for a moment, then cleared his throat and sang a song as a wish.
Her voice was clear and pleasant, and carried with it the unique aura of a woman who was no less than a man, and everyone was mesmerized by her voice.
Ruan Zhao did not sing the song too sadly. Instead, he sang the song with great vigor, which made people's blood boil and they could not help but think of the scenes in the song.
Especially when she sang "The mountains and rivers are safe, the fireworks are ordinary, I will see the world you have not seen, and write poems you have not written", the three old leaders couldn't help feeling sad and relieved, as if they saw their descendants inheriting their beliefs and moving towards the prosperous China in the future, generation after generation.
After the song was finished, the three old men were so immersed in it that it took them a while to come back to their senses.
~
Lu Yan stared at Ruan Zhao from the side, feeling mixed emotions.
He thought that since she could sing such a song, she shouldn't be the kind of woman who is not loyal in love.
But why...
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, the three old leaders were a little drunk.
Qin Zongwu and Lu Yan sent the three of them back to the room to rest. After Lu Yan came out of the room, he ran into Ruan Zhao who came to deliver honey water.
The two looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Ruan Zhao didn't say anything until he heard Zheng Huichun crying out in pain in the house. Instead, he walked straight past Lu Yan and into the house.
~
After settling the elderly people, Lu Yan left.
Qin Ze and Qin Mu pulled Ruan Zhao to ask her to send them off. Ruan Zhao already knew that they had ulterior motives, but she did not refuse.
Today is Chinese New Year, and she doesn't want to disappoint the children.
After sending the children off, Ruan Zhao and Qin Zongwu walked quietly on their way back.
The two of them remained silent all the way until they reached Ruan Zhao's dormitory door. Qin Zongwu then suddenly spoke. "I'm leaving tomorrow."
Ruan Zhao paused and turned to look at him in confusion.
Qin Zongwu seemed to be explaining some family matters to her. "My superiors have sent me on a mission. I think I'll be gone for a long time this time."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and handed a key to Ruan Zhao. "This is the key to your home. If it's inconvenient for you to run back and forth, you can go back and live there."
Ruan Zhao was stunned when he realized that the mission Qin Zongwu was talking about might be the important mission written in the book.
Could it be that because of my appearance, all this happened earlier?
Although the book does not specify the time, judging from the development of the story, it should not be that time yet.
Ruan Zhao was silent for a moment, then realized what was happening and raised his hand to take the key. "I understand."
If it really is that important mission, Qin Zongwu will probably not be able to come back for a long time.
Fortunately, Lu Yan was not taken away, which changed the plot.
Qin Zongwu stared at Ruan Zhao with some reluctance in his eyes. It seemed that he had a lot more to say to her, but his throat moved again and again and in the end he didn't say anything.
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Ruan Zhao didn't know what to say to him. In the end, he didn't know whether it was out of sincerity or courtesy, but he blurted out, "Be careful."
Qin Zongwu's eyes froze for a moment, then, like ice and snow in early spring, they gradually melted into a smile. "Okay."
After saying that, Ruan Zhao turned and went into the dormitory.
Qin Zongwu stood there and watched for a long time before turning around and leaving.
~
The next morning, Ruan Zhao got up early and went to the family compound, and Qin Zongwu had indeed left.
According to Qin Ze and Qin Mu, he should have left that night.
Thinking that Qin Zongwu would be gone for a long time this time, Ruan Zhao went straight to her old bedroom. She wanted to clean up so that she wouldn't have to run back and forth at night.
As soon as I came in, the bedroom was still the same. Except for a large bookcase on the wall near the window and a new desk, nothing else had changed.
Ruan Zhao looked around, put all of Qin Zongwu's things into the cabinet, took out new bedding and spread it out, then went to the hospital.
~
Without the presence of Qin Zongwu and Lu Yan, Ruan Zhao had lived a very peaceful life these past few days.
It was not until three days later that Gong Zhixian passed away.
That night, Gong Zhixian, Lu Weimin and Zheng Huichun finished their last game of chess, went back to sleep and never woke up again.
After Ruan Zhao sensed it, he rushed over immediately.
Looking at Gong Zhixian's soul that had already left, Ruan Zhao's expression was neither sad nor happy. "Mr. Gong, are you leaving?"
Gong Zhixian looked at Ruan Zhao and smiled easily, "Yes, I am already very satisfied to be able to live these few more days.
Xiao Ruan, thank you. If you hadn't allowed me to persevere until now, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to see my old comrades.
After I leave, please keep an eye on those two old guys for me. After all, they are old, and I am afraid they can’t handle it all at once.”
Ruan Zhao nodded after hearing this and said, "Okay, I promise you."
After he finished speaking, Gong Zhixian took one last look at the world, and then stepped into the ghost gate that appeared in front of him without any regrets.
~
Because of Gong Zhixian's identity, many people came to his funeral.
Thinking of the relationship between Qin Zongwu and Gong Zhixian, Ruan Zhao brought Qin Ze and Qin Mu over as well, and asked them to send the spirit to Gong Zhixian on behalf of Qin Zongwu.
Led by Lu Yan and Lu Weimin, everyone stood in front of the tombstone and bowed deeply to the photo of Gong Zhixian on it.
At this point, the old leader's life ended.
His descendants all silently swore in front of his grave that they would inherit the same faith as him and continue the path he had not completed.
~
Gong Zhixian's illness had been recurring, and everyone had been mentally prepared, so they didn't grieve for too long.
Only Lu Weimin, due to his old age, suddenly became depressed and fell ill after the funeral.
Ruan Zhao went to see him specially and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that he was fine.
In the following days, Ruan Zhao officially started his work in the Secret Service.
The spiritual energy in this world is thin, and it is very difficult to find some masters of mysticism who have already achieved some skills.
Therefore, Ruan Zhao decided to treat Qin Ze as his successor and began to train him strictly.
Qin Ze is gifted and has a special physique, so he is born to be in this line of work.
He had already learned the cultivation method that Ruan Zhao taught him. If the spiritual energy in this world was not so scarce, Qin Ze would definitely have made more progress than he has now.
After testing Qin Ze, Ruan Zhao began to teach Qin Ze how to draw talismans.
In addition to testing the spiritual power of the mystic, drawing talismans also tests a person's concentration.
During the New Year holidays, Ruan Zhao asked Qin Ze to draw a talisman every day.
At first, Qin Ze thought it was just a talisman and it must be very simple. But when he actually started to draw it, he found that it was really difficult.
For two consecutive days, not only did he fail to draw a single talisman, he was also so tired that he fell asleep on the table several times.
Ruan Zhao didn't rush him. After all, he was still young and needed to hone his skills slowly.
After teaching him the method, Ruan Zhao ignored him.
She is very busy now. In addition to going to work in the hospital, she also has to teach Qin Ze how to draw talismans. In her spare time, she also has to visit Lu Weimin.
