C314 The Obstinacy of the Old
He first took out his ID card to get his ticket, but just as he was about to check his ticket, his clothes were pulled.
When he turned around, he saw that there was an additional sixty old man with gray hair standing in front of him.
The old man was dressed plainly. He wore a military uniform from the seventies and eighties that had been washed a little whiter than usual. He wore an old military cap on his head. He also looked a little old, but the red stars on his hat were shining brightly.
The old man carried a somewhat simple backpack behind him. It was bulging with quite a few things. His right hand was holding a square box wrapped in red cloth, which appeared to be extremely careful.
His left hand held his ID card as he looked at Ning Lo with a slightly reserved expression.
"Uncle, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Comrade, I saw you pick up the ticket just now. It's my first time on the plane, so I don't know how to pick up the ticket. Can you help me with that?"
"Sure, no problem."
Ning Lo nodded and took the ID card from the other party. Then, he walked to the computer on the side to help the old man take his ticket.
When he returned, he saw that the old man's name was extremely domineering.
Jiaguo's opinion.
"Uncle, this is your ID card and your plane ticket. Please keep it well. "Oh right, uncle, your name is truly domineering. You're much stronger than the young ones now."
Ning Lo complimented.
"No matter how domineering my name is, I'm still a terrible old man. I've let little comrade down."
The old man smiled embarrassedly as he received the identity card and plane ticket.
Perhaps it was due to the heavy luggage he was carrying, but the old man's forehead was already covered in sweat.
"How about this, old uncle. I see that you're on the same plane as me. If you trust me, I'll help you carry some luggage. How about we go together?"
With that, Ning Lo went to help the old man carry the red cloth wrapped square box.
Ning Lo was surprised when the latter suddenly pulled back his arm.
"Little comrade, you cannot touch this! "Thank you for your kind intentions, but these things are not to be touched by anyone other than me."
When the old man spoke, his expression was solemn and filled with a sense of decisiveness.
"Ah, alright then. Do you want me to entrust your luggage to you? If so, how about I take you there?"
Seeing that the old man refused, Ning Lo didn't say anything, so he asked again with a smile.
"These things cannot be consigned, they can only be carried, little comrade, thank you. I can handle it myself. "
"Goodbye."
Waving at Ning Lo, the old man switched the box in his right hand to his left. Then he slightly bent his body and walked towards the ticket check.
Seeing this, Ning Lo shook his head with a bitter smile. He was afraid that his good intentions were misunderstood by someone else.
Without thinking too much into it, Ning Lo quickly walked towards the ticket gate.
When he walked over, he just happened to pat the back of the old man, Hong Jiaguo.
It was the peak of the security check, and there was a long line of people lining up for security check. The old man walked in after ten minutes or so, and it was finally his turn.
The security officer motioned for him to put down the luggage on his hands and back, but he refused.
"You can't put these down. I have to hold it with my own hands. I can guarantee that there won't be any harm in it."
The old man shook his head stubbornly and said to the security officer.
"Sorry, sir, security check is a routine task, no one can be an exception, this is not a question of whether the things you brought are dangerous or not, please cooperate with the check, otherwise you will not be able to check in, please forgive me."
The security officer's expression changed slightly, but he still explained politely.
"But once you pass the security check, the items will land on the ground. These items cannot land on the ground."
The old man continued stubbornly.
"Old man, what is so expensive? Can't you land on the ground? Don't tell me you're carrying an immortal on your back? What happens if you can't descend to the mortal realm?"
Seeing the old man arguing with the security inspector, the other people on the side of the ticket checking passage started to mock him.
"It just can't land! No matter what you say, I won't agree to land. "
The old man seemed to be somewhat angry. His face was flushed, and his voice also became much louder.
"Old man, let me repeat again, passing security is the duty of every citizen. If you really don't want to pass security, please leave. We still have people below to pass security. If you continue to disrupt the normal airport order, I'll call the airport security. "
the security guard warned.
Right now, the flow of people was already at its peak. Even with several security checkpoints at the same time, there was still quite a bit of pressure, and with the old man delaying them, a long queue formed at the back.
"Who is this person?" You don't even know how to put your luggage after a security check? Have you ever been on a plane? "
"That's right. He's already so old, yet he's still wearing a military uniform despite looking so old. Truly an embarrassment."
"Seriously, he really has no morals. Everyone is waiting for him."
"Hey, you old fogey, if you don't check, then let's go …"
Around them, the impatient passengers who were waiting began to clamor.
"This comrade, it's not that I want to make things difficult for you, nor is it that I want to cause trouble for everyone. It's just that these things really can't land on the ground. "I beg of you, can you let me handle this gate?"
At this moment, the old man already had a bit of a pleading look in his eyes.
He had lived for so long, but he had never been stared at by so many pairs of eyes.
He listened to the conversations around him.
His forehead was beaded with sweat.
"I'm sorry, rules are rules. You can't change them."
The security officer shook his head. There was no room for manoeuvre.
At the same time, he picked up the phone beside him and dialed a number.
Ning Lo heard it clearly from two meters behind. The security guards had called them over.
"Uncle, everyone has to go through a security check on a plane. Don't you want to go through a security check on your luggage?"
Behind him, Ning Lo stepped forward to help the old man carry the luggage on his back and then asked.
When his hand touched the backpack on the old man's back, his expression suddenly changed.
The others' bags were soft, but the old man's luggage was exceptionally hard. Moreover, it was square, just like the old man's.
"Little comrade, it's not that I'm just a security guard, but I really can't leave …"
The old man wanted to say something but hesitated. He wanted to say something, but it was difficult to say.
"Why can't I land? Are your luggage so expensive? Oh, others can fall, can't you? I think you're just messing around. "
"That's right. You're already so old, and yet you're still doing such a disgraceful thing. Aren't you afraid of losing face for your own children?"
"Some people are simply shameless …"
The surrounding discussions started again.
"Uncle, there's no need to put the luggage on the ground after the security check. Look, there's a security check machine up ahead. As long as you put the luggage in and out from the other end, it would still be on the table and wouldn't land."
Ning Lo pointed at the security monitor and explained.
"But I can see that those people's luggage didn't even mention the security guards on the ground. If my luggage was also left on the ground, I wouldn't be able to redeem myself even if I were to die."
The old man spoke with a sorrowful expression.
"Then I'll have that security young man not put it on the ground, is that okay?"
"Then... "Alright then, if you really can persuade me, I agree to the security check."
The old man nodded, no longer stubborn.
Seeing the old man agree, the previously ashen-faced security officer's expression eased a bit.
However, his attitude was not as good as before. He pointed at the scanner.
"Put the things on top of it, then take off your jacket, walk over with your ticket ID and stand on top."
"Sigh, alright!"
The old man agreed, then carefully placed the square box in his hand onto the security monitor.
At this moment, the red cloth that was originally wrapped around him slowly fell down. Through a corner, Ning Lo could clearly see what was inside.
The old man was clearly holding a bone ash urns in his hands. On the front of the urns was a black-and-white photo of the owner of the urns, who was wearing an old-fashioned military uniform and had a bright smile on his face.
While he was watching, the old man removed the luggage from his back and carefully put it on again. He then moved the luggage back into position so that they could pass the security check.
And from the shape of the luggage, Ning Lo determined that the old man's back also had two bone ash urns stacked on top of each other.
