Although I couldn't contain my excitement, I didn't rush to meet them, but went back to the counter as soon as possible, so as not to be too abrupt and cause them discomfort.

When I entered the counter and stood on the bench with my head out of the counter, they had already arrived at the shelf where the shrouds were placed and started to pick out the shrouds.

Middle-aged men and women first choose a shroud for their children together, and then the husband chooses a shroud for his wife.

The family of three had their backs to me and I couldn't see their expressions.

Finally, when the wife was also choosing a shroud for her husband, the wife sobbed.

My husband then patted his wife on the shoulder and glanced at me.

That glance was full of resentment.

I:?

My husband glanced at me and immediately turned his head away, picked up the child, and hugged his wife tightly into his arms.

The wife cried loudly, and the child cried until his liver and intestines were broken.

After a long time, the wife and children gradually stopped crying, the husband let go of his wife, and the wife continued to choose a shroud for her husband.

So far, the outside of the store has been quiet and there is no unnecessary movement.

It seems that no movement inside the store has been transmitted outside the store.

After the wife finally chose a shroud for her husband, a family of three floated to the counter with red eyes and three sets of shrouds.

I withdrew my attention just in time for them to turn around, and lowered my eyes to straighten the price list on the counter.

As my wife put the money and the shroud on the counter, I silently took the shroud and put it into the brazier and lit it with a match.

While the shroud burned, I continued to pay silent attention to the flames.

The resentful gaze of my husband and the undisguised sadness of the family of three have made me dare not even glance at them more, let alone talk easily.

I don't know how to do ghosts, and I don't have to be an opponent of a family of three just by invoking anger, and if I take one more look or accosting them and annoy them, I may lose my life.

When I am alone, my life is greater than the sky.

What's more, now I am no longer alone, I have a grandfather to wait, and I must be more cautious to take care of my life.

In this way, I can only wait until the next time I have a chance to see each other again, and then try to ask the family of three for useful information.

During the burning of the shroud, the family of three was also extremely silent.

After the shroud burned out, the family of three was still hanging in front of the counter and did not leave for a long time.

In the silence, I finally couldn't help but raise my eyes to look at them again.

The family of three has changed their clothes and changed their appearance.

Although they had been pale before, they had intact bodies without external injuries.

When they changed their appearances, they all had mutilated bodies.

The husband's face was covered in blood, his right eye was pierced with narrow glass, there were several long flesh wounds on his face, and his chest was completely pierced by a steel pipe.

His wife's face and body were almost flat if they had been squeezed suddenly, and black blood was spilling from her eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

The child holds his head in front of his chest and has a flat incision in the neck.

The family of three stared at me together, and they all hated to tear me apart on the spot.

Where did they hate me from?

I glanced at them before they could stagger their gaze, and the family of three had already shot at themselves in unison, and their souls were scattered in front of me at the same time.

What's the situation?

I was stunned for a moment, and goodbye tofu chrysanthemum floated through the door panel and into the store.

Tofu Ju's eyes were full of grief and indignation, and when he entered the store, he stared at me and scattered on his own, without giving me any chance to react.

I:......

At this point, all the four ghost customers I met when I first opened for business have arrived, and all of them have disappeared in front of me.

At this point, the people I am familiar with or unfamiliar with after I came to the villages and towns, even the ghosts who have only one side of the relationship, have lost their lives and lost their ghost lives.

Who forced the four ghost guests?

The four ghost customers are scattered in front of me, and it is very likely that the black hand that forced the four ghost customers is the one who imprisoned me back in the store.

So, what is its purpose?

Is it to empty all traces I left in the village and town before the killing?

Or is it to cut off my last possible way to get useful information?

I stood at the counter until it was dark.

When I put out the kerosene lamp, I noticed that the money on the counter had somehow been turned into money.

Unsurprised, I pulled out the drawer and prepared to throw the coins into the drawer, only to find that the wide drawer was almost filled.

I stuffed the coin in my hand into the drawer and went to open the door when I heard the sound of reading next door.

The sound of reading makes my heart move slightly.

If I could read and write, I would be able to read my grandfather's booklets.

So I walked out of the store and went to the next door, which was also open, and it was the girl who gave me the sugar gourd yesterday who was reading.

Her hair was uncombed and her eyes were sleepy, and an old man with white hair was sweeping the store.

The store displays daily necessities.

When I saw the girl, I turned around and left.

After all the previous experiences, I am used to the coldness of others to me, except for my grandfather, who is not satisfied with the enthusiasm and kindness shown to me by others.

Just like when I asked my girl to go away yesterday, in addition to my low mood at the time, the main reason was that I didn't know how to accept it.

The original family has created a people-pleasing personality, but I don't want to please anyone anymore, and I'm used to being cold to others.

"Sister?" the girl saw me with sharp eyes, and her eyes were stunned and full of surprise.

The white-haired old man then paid attention to me, smiling and beckoning me to come in and sit down.

I was embarrassed to enter the store under the enthusiasm of the female baby to explain the intention, and the old man praised me for being able to support the store alone at a young age, telling me that he was the father of the female baby, and the female baby's reading and literacy were taught by him.

As long as it's not a fair, I can come to the store at any time to learn to read and write with him for free, and he teaches one and two.

"Thank you. "With the old man's promise, I am ready to leave again.

But the girl held my hand tightly and didn't let go, insisting that I stay in the store to eat together.

The old man smiled and asked me to stay, telling me that his surname was Qing, and the girl's name was Qingdai.

Qingdai was his old daughter, and his wife died in childbirth.

Qingdai has no brothers and sisters, so he loves to cling to children of the same age, especially his sister, everywhere he goes.

If I don't have something urgent, I might as well stay, so as not to let Qingdai, who is spoiled by him, be depressed because of my insistence on leaving.

I was forced to choose to stay in Qingbo's enthusiastic retention and Qingdai's eager gaze, and Qingdai was very happy.

Qingdai's excited appearance made me a little trance.

If my grandfather was still with me, I would probably be like her.

coincided with the memorization, and after breakfast, I began to learn to read and write with Qingbo.

The first three words I learned were Gu Thrush, which was the name my grandfather gave me.

I carefully wrote the word Gu one stroke at a time, and tears rolled in my heart.

What is grandpa's name Gu?

Do I still have a chance to know his full name?
