Chapter 1173 A bold guess

"The old man has been searching the sea for the tortoise he saw for a week."

"Nothing gained."

"Of course, everyone expected this result, no one was surprised."

"Some people couldn't stand it and tried to persuade the old man, but he ended up scolding them."

"That they just wanted him dead."

"Since the old man has said so much, no one said anything more."

"Anyway, if we still can't find the divine turtle, I will give up on my own without anyone's persuasion."

"But, obviously-"

Zhang Bo shrugged, "The old man has great patience."

"Or rather, he placed all his hopes on the Divine Turtle."

"Everyone is watching to see when the old man will face reality."

"You should have rested more since you are not in good health, but the old man has been leaving early and coming back late all the time in order to find the divine turtle."

Speaking of the tortoise, Zhang Bo bared his teeth and said, "Everyone thinks the old man is asking for trouble."

"You don't have much life left, yet you're still struggling like this."

"Isn't it too much that the old man wants to keep living?"

Zhao Luzheng sighed, "So I'm holding on to an illusory dream."

"They say it's illusory, but why are you spending so much effort chasing it? Isn't that a waste of effort?"

Zhuge Yun shook his head. "It would be better to spend more time with my family."

"Although he won't be able to see the birth of the child, accompanying his pregnant wife before the birth of the child is also a form of companionship for the child."

"In the future, the child's mother can tell the child what his father said to him when he was still in his mother's belly and how he was looking forward to his birth."

"It can also give the child some impression and memory of his father."

"Yes."

Zhang Bo nodded in agreement. "My uncle also said that there are only a few days left to live, and you are still doing something unnecessary."

"Such a waste of precious time."

"When the old man really reaches his last moment, I wonder if he will regret not spending more time with his pregnant wife and talking more with the baby in her belly? Or will he be unwilling to give up the fact that he never found the divine turtle?"

……

“There’s nothing wrong with wanting to live.”

Xiao Xiao touched the little white fox's head.

Everyone is afraid of death.

If possible, who doesn't want to live forever?

To live is the most instinctive desire of all living things.

……

"That's right."

Zhang Bo understood, "It's just that the old man said at the beginning that he wanted to continue living for the sake of his unborn child, but later, the old man devoted all his heart and soul to finding the sacred turtle."

"He almost ignored his pregnant wife."

"It's still his wife who found a full-time caregiver to take care of him."

"The old man's wife is very supportive of what he does."

"The old man was very touched."

"...I don't know if his wife is really so considerate to the old man, or-"

Zhang Bo curled his lips and said, "I don't care about the old man at all."

"But the old man's actions did make his wife a little disappointed, right?"

"I wonder what his wife thinks when she looks at the empty house every day?"

……

"Maybe he's happy?"

Zhuge Yun stretched out his legs and said jokingly.

"They look like each other, but they are not."

Xiao Xiao thought of a very suitable idiom.

Zhang Bo smiled bitterly, "Very likely."

"I originally thought that the woman approached the old man with ill intentions and married him just for money."

"Now it seems that the old man doesn't have much affection for this young wife, right?"

"Each of them has their own plans, but they are pretty much the same."

"So, I guess-"

Zhang Bo looked at Zhuge Yun, "You said that the old man knew from the beginning that the woman didn't like him, maybe that was right." "We all thought that the old man was blinded by the woman's sweet words."

"Actually, he just wanted to find someone to accompany him, and the woman happened to appear at that time, right?"

……

The classroom fell into silence for a moment.

"Okay, that's it."

Zhang Bo restrained his complicated expression, grinned, and said with some emotion, "If it were an ordinary person, there wouldn't be so much attention."

"However, the old man won the first prize in the lottery and married a wife who was more than 30 years younger than him. But two years later, he was diagnosed with an incurable disease. Such twists and turns are indeed quite amazing."

Zhang Bo pushed his chair away and said, "Let's go. The cafeteria should be pretty empty now, right?"

Everyone stood up one after another.

"Hey, wait."

Zhuge Yun clenched his hands on the back of the chair, "I suddenly have a bold guess."

"A bold guess?"

Zhang Bo's mouth twitched.

"Second brother, what's your guess?"

Zhao Luzheng looked back.

Xiao Xiao leaned back slightly on the table, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"You said-"

Zhuge Yun's glasses flashed white. "Old man... could it be that you really saw the divine turtle?"

"Did you really see the turtle?"

Zhao Luzheng subconsciously repeated Zhuge Yun's words.

"Correct."

Zhuge Yun nodded, his expression becoming more excited, "That divine turtle... could it be a monster?"

“That’s why it looks so strange.”

"So no one else saw it, only the old man saw it once by chance."

……

"You really think of monsters in everything."

Zhang Bo sighed.

Ever since this kid found out that monsters really exist in the world, he likes to think that monsters are to blame whenever he encounters something strange.

But, a monster?

……

"Third brother, what do you think?"

Zhuge Yun looked at Xiao Xiao with earnest eyes.

Xiao Xiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and shook his head under Zhuge Yun's increasingly bright eyes, "I don't know."

Seeing Zhuge Yun's disappointed look, he couldn't help but laugh. "I don't have clairvoyance or super hearing. From such a distance, how can I know if the tortoise the old man mentioned is a monster?"

"You're making it difficult for me."

"Yes."

Zhao Luzheng echoed, "Second brother, how would Third Brother know when you asked him so suddenly?"

"Second brother-"

"Stop, I know, I was wrong."

Zhuge Yun interrupted Zhang Bo, his mouth twitching, "I just asked casually."

"What if the third brother knows?"

"Isn't this just in case something unexpected happens?"

"But seriously, Third Brother, this is possible, right?"

"Maybe I guessed it right, right?"

Zhuge Yun soon became excited again.

"What are you excited about?"

Zhang Bo was puzzled, "Even if it's true, you can't see it."

Zhuge Yun: ...

"Boss, I find you are really bad at chatting."

He gritted his teeth. He had really forgotten this just now. As a result, his beautiful dream had just begun when it was ruthlessly shattered. "Do you have to pour a basin of cold water on me at this time?"
