In the evening, sitting at the dinner table.
Gu Yuan briefly explained Xiao Pangqiu's situation today.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became heavy.
"So... Little Fatty Ball's situation is already very bad now?" The second uncle was silent for a moment and asked, "Is there nothing we can do?"
Gu Yuan shook his head.
The second uncle sighed and said nothing. Instead, he stood up, sat in front of the balcony, and lit a cigarette.
The second aunt put away the dishes in silence, her eyes a little red.
Suddenly, she turned around, looked at Gu Yuan, and said, "Can you ask Li Siming for his address? When nothing happens, let's go over and see him. Is this the main office?"
Gu Yuan thought for a while and nodded.
The second aunt's request is not excessive, and Li Siming is not the kind of unreasonable person, so there is no reason to refuse such a small thing.
"That's good. Little Fatty likes my braised pork ribs the most. It's not too far anyway. We'll drive there then!" Second Aunt muttered.
"By the way, he still has clothes and toys with us. When he comes back, we will send them all over." Gu Xiaolei said in a low voice.
"Well, go, let's all go!"
At this time, Gu Yuan put down his chopsticks and said the second thing.
"Second uncle and second aunt, I have to leave Star City for a while."
"Huh? Are you leaving again?" The second aunt turned her face and looked at Gu Yuan, a little unhappy, and said, "You have just graduated from the martial arts academy, aren't you going to join the Star Town Demon Division? Where are you going?"
Gu Yuan explained: "Captain Li said he wanted to take me out for some training."
"No, you're not allowed to go!" The second aunt suddenly became excited.
Gu Yuan was a little surprised.
Gu Xiaolei also looked at his mother in surprise.
The second aunt also seemed to realize that her emotions were a little too excited. She stood there at a loss and was a little incoherent.
"That's not what I meant. I just...stayed well in Star City. What kind of experience is it? It's good to just take it with you in Star City. Yes...that's it..."
Gu Yuan stood up, took the dishes from Second Aunt with a smile, went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and said, "Second Aunt, don't worry, there's nothing dangerous, Captain Li is taking care of me."
"It's because of Li Siming that I..."
Gu Yuan knew what the second aunt was worried about.
I heard it from my second uncle before.
The reason why the second uncle and the second aunt have such deep opinions about Li Siming is because it was Li Siming who came to find his parents and left together.
In the end, only Li Siming came back, but his parents did not.
This incident caused great harm to the second uncle and second aunt, but even after so many years, Li Siming couldn't give them an explanation.
Now, Li Siming actually wanted to leave with Gu Yuan, and the second aunt's nerves immediately became tense, worrying that what happened before would happen again.
Even the second uncle looked a little nervous.
He held a cigarette between his fingers, his face was gloomy, he didn't say a word, he just lowered his head and thought.
"Okay, okay, hurry up and get out of the way. You don't need to brush, and it won't be clean." The second aunt squeezed Gu Yuan away, and then stopped talking.
Seeing that there was no room for him in the kitchen, Gu Yuan went to the balcony to drink tea with his second uncle.
"Actually, your second aunt is just worried about you." Second uncle said in a low voice.
"Of course I know."
"Are you going tomorrow?" The second uncle flicked the ashes from his cigarette.
"Well, I'll go tomorrow."
The second uncle sighed.
This was indeed a bit sudden for them.
"Where are you going?"
"This...I don't know either." Gu Yuan's voice became much softer.
Until now, Li Siming had not told Gu Yuan where exactly he was going to take him. He just said that he would go on a tour. However, since it was a tour, it seemed that there was no fixed place in the first place.
"Is it possible that it depends on where you go?" The second uncle said with a dark face, "Then, will we be able to contact you by then?"
"It should be possible, right?" Gu Yuan blinked.
Gu Jianshan glanced at him.
Just from this expression, he knew that even Gu Yuan was not sure whether he would be able to contact him by then.
"Second uncle, don't worry. I'm not a child now, and I'm not going to a dangerous place." Gu Yuan said with a smile, "Besides, I just graduated from the martial arts academy, and Captain Li wants to lead It’s not a bad thing in itself to travel with me to increase your knowledge and improve your strength.”
Listening to what Gu Yuan said was reasonable, Gu Jianshan nodded.
He knew what his nephew said made sense, but he was still worried when he should be.
For him, Gu Yuan's parents are a lesson learned from the past.
Even though the second aunt was unhappy before, when Gu Yuan came out from the shower, the second aunt was already packing her things.
"You have to bring these clothes with you. It looks like winter is about to come. And these shoes, by the way, you also have to bring the sweater..."
The second aunt complained while cleaning up.
"You really can't help your mother. Now that your wings are stiff, you can go here and there. It's not as good as before. In the past, if I said you weren't allowed to go, then you weren't allowed to go. Now, if you really say you're not allowed to go... I'll tell you. I can’t even say it out loud.” The second aunt was talking with tears about to fall down.
Gu Yuan quickly stepped forward and helped fold the clothes.
"If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have gone home today!" The second aunt became more and more angry as she spoke, "It's just a meal, now it's fine, the little fat ball won't come back, and you have to go out."
Gu Yuan almost burst into laughter as he listened.
You can't go home today, these things won't happen, right? The second aunt's thoughts are really a bit...
"Okay, don't hang around here." The second aunt glanced at Gu Yuan and said, "You don't know how long you will be going out this time, why don't you go and tell Xiaoxia?"
Gu Yuan thought about it, and it seemed that it was quite necessary.
So, he took his coat, opened the door, and walked out.
Taking advantage of this moment, the second aunt also hurried to the balcony, snatched the cigarette from the second uncle's hand, and put it out directly.
"Don't think I didn't see it, this is the third one!" the second aunt said with a tigerish face.
The second uncle laughed along with him and said, "Isn't it because I feel depressed when I think that he is going to travel far away?"
"Fart, I think you just want to smoke...forget it, smoke it, smoke it, you are not young anymore anyway, and your children have grown up. When you disappear one day, I will take three more The child remarried." The second aunt said with a sneer.
The second uncle immediately shivered and quickly took out the lighter and slapped it on the coffee table.
"Don't smoke, don't smoke... Let's talk properly. Why do we have to say these hurtful words..." The second uncle said aggrievedly.
The second aunt sighed, took a sip of tea, moistened her throat, and then said: "You are really big-hearted, don't you plan to say anything?"
"There's nothing to say. I think Xiao Yuanzi is right. He is no longer a child. He knows what to do and what not to do. We can't always control him, right?"
"That's Li Siming!" The second aunt complained, "I don't have any objections to him going on a long trip, but as soon as I think about him going with Li Siming, I feel uncomfortable all over!"
Gu Jianshan nodded.
He knew very well and could understand what his wife was worried about.
"Xiao Yuanzi is extraordinary now and will become a member of the Demon Suppression Division. In the future, he will face various problems and dangers in his life." Gu Jianshan said with a smile, "So, for Xiao Yuanzi, , If you want to live well, you must make yourself stronger. Perhaps, this is why Li Siming proposed to take Gu Yuan to experience it."
Originally, the second aunt was not the kind of unreasonable person. After listening to her husband's words for a long time, and every word was reasonable, the resentment in her heart was completely gone.
"Okay, I'll go take a look and bring something to Xiao Yuanzi."
"Well, go ahead."
…
At this moment, Gu Yuan was still standing downstairs in Xiaoxia's unit, hesitating for a long time.
He was thinking about what Xia Youzhi's expression would be if he knew that he was going away again and didn't even know how soon he would be back.
At this moment, footsteps came from behind.
"Xiaoyuanzi? What are you doing here? Why don't you go up?"
