Capítulo 1638: Chapter 1617: No Words of Thanks
In another room, feeling that Morgan couldn’t hear, Bob imdiately exclaid impatiently, “Buddy, how did you do it? I an, how did you pull out that gun like magic?”
Gao Yang smiled and said, “Well, it’s a long story.”
Bob said excitedly, “It certainly wasn’t easy, right?”
Gao Yang sighed, shrugged, and said, “All I can say is the process was very convoluted and complex. As for how difficult it was, you know, finding this thing was the hardest part. Actually retrieving it wasn’t especially difficult.”
Bob nodded repeatedly, like a chicken pecking at grains, and said loudly, “That’s right, I know, I know. In my impression, my father attended any gun show just for the sake of that gun. Searching for that gun was the main activity I rember with my father. I always thought the responsibility for finding this gun would ultimately fall on , and I really believed it couldn’t be found.”
After speaking, Bob patted Gao Yang on the shoulder and said solemnly, “You have no idea the price my father paid to find it. Everyone has their obsessions in life, and without a doubt, that gun was my father’s obsession.”
Gao Yang said with a smile, “I’m glad I could find that gun for him, but now I’m really starting to worry about his heart.”
Bob waved his hand and said loudly, “His heart’s fine; he’s just too excited, you know. When are you leaving this ti after returning? If you have ti, we should hang out for a few days. By the way, why is it just you? Where are the others?”
Gao Yang sighed, gave a bitter smile, and said, “The others couldn’t make it because they’re injured.”
Bob asked curiously, “Injured? How many were injured? Did you have a big mission? How did so many get injured?”
Gao Yang gave a bitter smile and said, “Don’t ask, and definitely don’t ntion it to anyone else. It’s very important.”
Bob gave a wry smile and said loudly, “Looks like you’ve gotten into trouble again. Alright, I get it. I won’t say anything. So, how’s Eileen?”
Gao Yang shrugged and said, “Injured. I thought she would be the first person you’d ask about.”
Bob pouted, shook his head, and said with a pained expression, “Forget it, I’ve given up on her. Whenever I think of Eileen, my left cheek still twinges in pain. Having a girlfriend who can punch hard isn’t a good thing for , and besides, I can’t handle her.”
Just then, Morgan appeared silently in the doorway, holding the gun Gao Yang had just given him.
Morgan looked calm, lacking the excitent of achieving a dream. He stood in the doorway and said to Gao Yang, “Gao, co with for a mont. Bob, you too, co with .”
Gao Yang walked over without a word, and Bob stood up, smiled, and said, “Dad, where are we going?”
Morgan gestured with his hand and said quietly, “Everyone, sorry for the inconvenience. Please wait here; we’ll be back soon.”
Bob drove while Gao Yang and Morgan sat in the car. After the three of them got in the car, Bob asked in a low voice, “Where are we going?”
“The cetery.”
Bob nodded, said no more, and after that Morgan sat in the car holding the gun tightly, with no intention of speaking.
Without disturbing Morgan, Gao Yang remained silent the entire way until the car stopped at a beautiful and tranquil cetery.
After parking the car, with the gun in his hand, Morgan said to Gao Yang, “Follow .”
The cetery had no walls and wasn’t very large. Morgan walked into a hidden path in the woods, his pace quickening until he finally stopped in front of several adjacent graves.
Stopping his steps, Morgan turned around and said to one of the graves beside him, “This is my mother’s grave, and this is my father’s grave.”
After saying this, Morgan turned around, raised the gun, and with a voice filled with sobs, said loudly, “Mom, your gun has been found. Dad, I’ve fulfilled your wish, Mom’s gun has been found. Did you see that?”
Gao Yang and Bob remained silent, and after comforting his deceased parents, Morgan suddenly crouched down, holding the gun, and began to cry loudly.
Morgan wasn’t as calm as he seed.
“Sixty years, Dad, it’s been sixty years since you vowed to find this gun. Now it’s finally found, finally found. Mother, do you see? Your fondest childhood mory has now been found, found!”
Morgan cried loudly, Gao Yang quietly backed away a few steps, while Bob stepped forward, trying to pull the kneeling Morgan up, but ultimately didn’t move. This was a mont to release decades of pent-up knots and regrets spanning two generations. If Morgan wanted to cry, let him cry.
After crying and mumbling for a long ti, Morgan stood up, smiled through tears, and said, “Father, Mother, I want to tell you, this gun is in great condition, it’s well-preserved. I brought bullets. I’m going to fire two shots for you to hear.”
Morgan pulled two bullets out of his pocket, slowly loaded them into the chamber, raised the gun skyward, and said loudly, “Mom, listen, to the sound you knew and have longed for.”
With that, Morgan fired a shot, very smoothly, very loudly. Morgan said joyfully, “The action is great, very smooth, this gun is in perfect condition. Mom, I’ll use it to hunt, just as you wished.”
Morgan fired another shot, and the loud gunfire echoed in the cetery woods.
Firing a gun in a cetery can’t possibly be appropriate, but this was Morgan’s family cetery, and moreover, it was to use the gunfire to comfort his parents. In this context, it was naturally not a problem.
After firing two shots, Morgan smiled very happily. He turned and waved to Gao Yang, saying, “Co here, co here.”
Gao Yang walked over, and Morgan put an arm around Gao Yang’s shoulder, faced the cetery, and said loudly, “This is Gao Yang, my friend. He’s the one who helped find this gun. I tried very hard for a long ti, but could never get results, and this guy, he’s just always lucky. I really didn’t expect him to bring the gun back to us. Mom, Dad, look at him, it’s him. I beca a collector because of my search for this gun, and this guy, he always brings unexpected collectible items. Haha, Dad, look at the cabinet of collectibles you left, you’d be surprised because now it has so items you would’ve never imagined, truly good items.”
After speaking with a smile, Morgan turned and firmly patted Gao Yang’s shoulder.
Morgan just patted Gao Yang’s shoulder, then smiled gratefully at him but didn’t say thank you.
Not saying thank you was important, really important. (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to visit Qidian (qidian) and vote for recomndation tickets, monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian to read.)
