Chapter 23 Name Correction
"My father is a doctor, my mother is a teacher. Our family is ordinary and middle-class. We have always lived in Shengdu for a long time." After the opening ceremony, on the way to dinner together, Shi Liang talked about why he came here.
Bai Qi originally wanted to go back to the dormitory first, but Zhou Wangjing remembered that the 20 St. Gallen that had not been used up last time rushed into her card, so he pulled her together.
"Maybe because of my parents' professional relationship, the atmosphere in my family has always been silent and high pressure. In order to allocate more in this pyramid-structured society, they asked my sister and I to study hard. Although I know it's all for my own good... but this cannot change the fact that my relationship with my parents is not so friendly."
"One day, an old man suddenly came outside our door. Later I realized that this was my grandfather... I never knew that I had a grandfather before that." Shi Liang seemed to be thinking about the scene a long time ago. "I opened the door at that time, and I will never forget that scene. The old man over 50 years old was wearing a thick isolation suit and had obvious blood on his body, but most of them were washed by him. I couldn't even see his face, but I could feel his obvious hesitation. In the end, he squatted down and hugged me, and then started crying."
"I didn't understand why at the time, but I realized later that he was happy. That day, his only wish was to come to see me and meet me, my only grandson."
"Is he a foundation warrior?" Zhou Wangjing asked immediately. There are only a few professions that need to wear isolation suits these days.
"Well, yes, he is a C-level member of the foundation. Although he is not the kind of foundation warrior with special abilities, he said that he was also a commendation member of the foundation when he was young. Because of his professional relationship, he spent very little time with his father and his relationship was not good." Shi Liang said softly: "According to my father's words, he would rather his grandfather never come back in the end, because his profession will only cause trouble for their stable life."
"It's too much." Zhou Wangjing was incredible when he heard this.
"I was also very angry at that time. The more my parents opposed it, the more I wanted to be with my grandfather. Later, I realized that my rebellion at that time might be the most correct decision I have made in my life." Shi Liang said: "He told me many stories. When he was working in the foundation, he saw those terrifying events, especially the terrifying old man who could shuttle through the walls and appear in dark and humid environments. I still remember hearing this story at that time, I was so scared that I didn't dare to go to the bathroom."
"I had an idea at that time. I was afraid that it would be like this when I heard this. Grandpa experienced it personally... How powerful should he be? And what kind of courage did other foundation warriors who had really encountered monsters do this job?" Shi Liang mentioned it now with a little pride: "Really, Grandpa at that time was the most powerful hero in my heart."
Zhou Wangjing couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
He was sincerely happy.
He has always believed that in this world, besides him, there are others who really respect the job of the Foundation.
It's great that such a person is by his side now.
And what happened next made Zhou Wangjing stunned.
"But one day later, my grandfather was taken away by the Military Review Office."
"Why."
"Because he is actually a deserter. In an accident where the shelter was invalid, he left all his comrades who had been killed by strangers and fled alone." Shi Liang said with a sigh: "You may be hard to imagine my mood at that moment, angry, disappointed, and sad to cry. The old man over 50 years old was sent to the escort car. There were family members who were victims of the shelter. They threw eggs at him and cans, calling him a coward, and questioned why he did not die in the site where the shelter was invalid. My grandfather bowed his head and apologized to them one by one, and my parents were the same."
"What's the bullshit? Why blame him? I've said it. He ran away after his comrades were killed. He must have judged that even if he stayed, he could not change what he would run away." Zhou Wangjing said angrily. "If you want to blame, you should blame the weirdness that hurts people, right?"
One thing he has always been unable to understand is what the failure of shelter involves the foundation soldiers.
Who is not their flesh? Haven't they tried their best? Why do they blame this kind of thing that is even more terrifying and impermanent than natural disasters?
"Because sadness always requires a vent." Bai Qi, who was standing beside him, suddenly interrupted: "People will not blame the things they cannot see or touch. They will only pour sadness into the point where they are at hand."
After Bai Qi said this, he looked at Zhou Wangjing seriously.
"Awang, if you are not prepared for this kind of mentality, I really want to advise you to consider participating in the foundation again."
After hearing this, Zhou Wangjing turned his head aside angrily and looked at Shi Liang again.
"Shi Liang, what about you, are you still blaming him?"
"Blame? I won't come here because of him." Shi Liang sighed and said, "I still remember the last look he looked at me, with a quiet smile. At that moment, I remembered the first time I met him. How much happiness was there in his eyes when he first met, and when he parted, there was so much relief and satisfaction in his eyes... So, all the loss, all the anger and disappointment disappeared."
"At that moment, I understood why he ran away." Shi Liang said: "He just wanted to see me and see me as my grandson. He didn't want to die, and he didn't know what I looked like."
"After that, he never appeared again. At first, I wanted to join the foundation, but I just wanted to find him. If I became my grandfather's colleague, it would not be difficult to find him." Shi Liang said.
Zhou Wangjing pursed his lips, not knowing whether there was a saying that should be said.
"Shi Liang, except for civilian researchers, the retirement age of the foundation's front-line personnel is 57 years old." In the end, Zhou Wangjing said this.
When he met his grandfather, he was in elementary school. At that time, his grandfather was already in his fifties, so he should have retired long ago.
If he really doesn't know, as a friend, he should remind him of this matter even more.
"Well, I know. Later, after I learned about this, I couldn't help crying." Shi Liang said: "But even if I can't find him, even if... he may no longer be in the world, I will join the foundation."
