Chapter 8: Death
I bit my lower lip and glared at him fiercely, "You're lame"
"Since I'm not lame, let's hurry up and make dinner, I'm hungry" Yuehao's commanding tone made me very unhappy.
"I want to eat and make it myself" I didn't look away in displeasure, but I saw the gentle smile on Gu Xiaoyu's face.
"Girl, your temper is still so stubborn!"
I looked at him awkwardly, "Brother Xiaoyu, even you laugh at me"
"Ahem, girl, please forgive us for making our own decisions" Suddenly, Gu Xiaoyu's face looked at me sternly, "You can't be angry"
I frowned, "Say it, I'm not angry."
However, without waiting for Gu Xiaoyu to speak, Yue Hao took the lead and said, "You don't have to go to work from tomorrow, to be exact, your boss has been fired."
My head was buzzing, it was my hard-won job, no exclusion, no dislike of an ordinary and comfortable job, at this time he said disdainfully, I looked at him stunned, "What did you say?"
I seemed to feel something strange, Yue Hao glanced at me with a stunned gaze, "I ordered someone to dismiss your job this afternoon."
Suddenly, I excitedly smashed the pillow on my back to him, and yelled, "Yuehao, you are sick!
At this time, Gu Xiaoyu pulled the excited me, "Girl, this matter is decided by me, not President Yue..."
I looked at him in amazement, shook off his hand, and walked away with a choked voice
"Calm down, girl, it's just a job, if you want to go to work, you can find it again when your injury is healed"
Yuehao looked at me with his hands in his pockets, "You can go to work in my company, and your salary will be several times higher than before..."
Facing the two men who interrupted the trajectory of my life in just two days, I looked at Gu Xiaoyu and was disappointed, "Why do you interfere with my work, maybe that's not a problem for you rich people, Brother Xiaoyu, you don't know me at all, and you even want to arrange my life after deciding on me without my own consent, right? This is the game of your wealthy family, sorry, I'm not a puppet."
I don't know why my heart is very uncomfortable at this time, I always feel that the two men in front of me are very unusual, and a small action can affect the trajectory of my life. They don't understand how I've survived all these years, and maybe in their eyes only money can solve a problem.
When I returned to the room again, I collapsed on the bed, stared at the ceiling for a long time, and then sat up again, subconsciously touched the crescent necklace given by my grandmother, glanced at the wooden box again, and then recalled everything in the past two days.
Suddenly, I thought of something, ignoring the pain in my knees, and walked downstairs quickly, "Yuehao sent me to my grandmother's house"
Looking at me who was very anxious, Yuehao and Gu Xiaoyu looked at each other, and then went to the C area together. However, before I arrived at my grandmother's house, I caught up with the rush hour after work, and I looked anxiously left and right, looking at the crowded road conditions, and opened the car door "I walked by myself"
"Girl, are your knees okay?" Gu Xiaoyu, who got out of the car next, looked at me worriedly.
"It's okay"
At this time, I didn't have time to care about the small injury on my knee, and ran all the way with an anxious look of sweat, and half an hour later, I banged on my grandmother's rusty iron door with a panting voice, "Grandma... Open the door..."
However, after not seeing a response for a long time, I became more and more anxious, "Grandma, I'm An Yi, come and open the door!"
"Girl, what's wrong?"
"Let me come" Yue Hao, who followed, looked at the closed iron door with sharp eyes, and suddenly raised his leg and kicked the iron door open "bang"
I rushed in in a panic and looked around for my grandmother's figure, "Grandma..."
When the whole courtyard was searched, I stood in the middle of the courtyard in confusion, scanning the old courtyard in front of me, "Grandma, where are you? I'm Xiaoyi, if you're there, respond to me..."
Gu Xiaoyu walked up to me and patted me on the shoulder, "Girl, what's wrong with you?"
"I don't know, I always feel like something is wrong!" I said in a scared voice with a choked voice.
"Why don't we look closer?"
Yuehao's words fell, and the three of us set off to rummage through the entire courtyard again, but we still couldn't find it, and I muttered blankly, "How is it possible, it must be there, grandma must be there..."
Suddenly, I walked quickly to the basement, and when I entered the basement and saw the inside, I collapsed, and my grandmother sat peacefully on the altar, "Grandma..."
Suddenly, my tears couldn't stop flowing down, my legs were like a thousand pounds, looking at her pale face, motionless meditation posture, I slowly walked towards her, kneeling heavily on the ground, I didn't feel a trace of pain, "How can this be..."
"Wasn't it okay yesterday? I just didn't see you for a day and left, and I haven't seen you for the past two years, aren't you still alive and well?
Tears fell to the ground, kneeling in front of her, I kowtowed or kowtowed, I don't know when the ground was dyed red a small piece, Yuehao and Gu Xiaoyu on the side looked at me who broke my forehead and hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, and I didn't notice a trace of pain at all, and it felt like the sky was falling.
"Girl..."
"People cannot be resurrected after death, and mourning is smooth"
When my mother arrived, I still knelt motionless in front of my grandmother, looking at my mother who was excited and in pain, and before I could get up and stand up, she fainted, "Mom..."
"Auntie!"
When my mother woke up, it was already the next morning, I knelt in front of my grandmother's mourning hall wearing linen and filial piety, looking at the mage who was doing the business, and glancing at the 'ghosts' who kept coming, my pupils suddenly shrank, and instantly turned into fiery red pupils, and my tightly closed and chapped lips said sharply, "Get out"
The 'ghosts' who had wanted to lure away my grandmother's dead soul met my gaze, made sure I could see them, and then ran away in the blink of an eye. I don't understand why it wasn't black and white impermanence that came to seduce my grandmother after her death, but when I knew these reasons, I had become an exorcist, a mage.
My mother, who was kneeling in front of the mourning hall, was filled with grief at this time, staring at the coffin in front of her blankly, and said clearly in her mouth, "Mom, go all the way, I will take care of Xiaoyi, I will do my best to protect her..."
After this service, it was the next morning, and I had not slept for a day and two nights, and I was so kneeling that I couldn't stand up at all.
