Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and Gu Xiaoqi immediately looked up.
The old man, who was dressed in tatters and exuded a sour smell, frowned when he saw a fair little girl standing in the room, and his old and hoarse voice sounded.
"Ahem... who... are you?" the old man said intermittently, spending a lot of energy in every word he said.
Gu Xiaoqi quickly stepped forward to support the old man and said, "Grandpa Lin, I am Gu Xiaoqi, the little girl you picked up before."
The old man was not as happy as Gu Xiaoqi imagined. He coughed several times in succession, his old face trembled slightly, and he said excitedly: "Why are you back, cough, cough, cough..."
The old man was coughing and out of breath, but he still asked: "They... don't want you anymore?"
Gu Xiaoqi immediately understood the meaning of the old man's words, and she quickly explained: "No, Grandpa Lin, I just came to see you. I am living a good life now."
She quickly helped the old man to the simple wooden bed next to him, then poured a glass of water for the old man, and then said: "Grandpa Lin, you can rest assured."
The old man looked at Gu Xiaoqi's little face with a little baby fat, and then carefully looked at the clothes she was wearing, and he felt obviously relieved.
He coughed and asked, "Then what are you doing back?"
What's there to come back from in this garbage dump...
Gu Xiaoqi said: "Do you know the list of planets announced by Thunder Star for evacuating residents?"
She did not need the old man to give an answer, but squatted in front of the old man and said seriously with a small face: "Our unfinished planet No. 68 is on the list of evacuated planets on Thunder Star, which means that the planet
It’s not safe.”
"Grandpa Lin, I want to send you to another safer planet. Don't worry, I will find someone to take care of you..."
Before Gu Xiaoqi could finish what he said, the old man waved his hands and said in a hoarse voice: "Well, it's good for me to be here...ahem, I won't leave."
As people get older, they miss the past.
If you go to a strange place to wait for the end of your life, it is better to leave leaves and take root in your hometown.
What's more, the people in their garbage area are aliens wherever they go. If they don't feel comfortable, they might as well stay here.
The old man continued: "You should have seen a lot of people when you came back. We... people in the garbage area are most comfortable staying here. Moreover, it is not that easy to leave..."
Gu Xiaoqi wanted to continue to persuade, but the old man said directly: "You, go back quickly, while you can still go back..."
Gu Xiaoqi felt a little guilty in her eyes, and she asked tentatively: "Grandpa Lin, can you contact my father? Or someone related to my father?"
The old man squinted his eyes and looked at Gu Xiaoqi and said, "No, but your father has arranged for someone on the Weiming Star to look at me regularly..."
Gu Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief, but after hearing this, he looked at the old man with fear, and then asked: "How often do I see you?"
The old man looked at Gu Xiaoqi with his turbid eyes, and slapped the table with his thin, black palms, asking: "Ahem, please tell me carefully, what are you..."
Gu Xiaoqi hurriedly gave Grandpa Lin some relief. Guilt and uneasiness flashed through her dark brown eyes. She shouldn't have asked in such a hurry, but instead made Grandpa Lin angry.
Just as she was about to open her mouth to explain, there was a sudden sound of footsteps at the door.
With a click, a boy about six years old suddenly walked in from the door.
