Chapter 0426: The Old Lady's Last Moments
The limit of 100 days is getting closer and closer, and there is no trace of the mysterious person, but the Deng family has always been covered by dense fog, and the unprecedented crisis of extermination is pressing on them like an unattainable mountain.

The more depressed the atmosphere became, Mrs. Deng stood at the door of her courtyard every day and looked at the depressed people, and regretted her stubbornness at the beginning.
"Old man, why can you bear to leave your wife and son alone in the world to support you, you are such a ruthless person in the world. You've been gone for a hundred years, but you're comfortable, lying quietly down below to enjoy the happiness, I can't hold it anymore, my wife! ā
For several nights, Mrs. Deng was washing her face with tears, she muttered to her husband about her suffering, and also poured out her love, and even broke the hesitation in her heart and told her husband about it.
Mrs. Deng was already dead, and for Mrs. Deng, the old lady seemed to be still alive, standing not far away and watching her. Talk to him, and he'll be able to hear you.
"That's it, life can't get together, so why bother to ask for the same cave after death? Because of my obsession with my wife, the future of the children and grandchildren of the Deng family will be ruined, and it will be done, and I will not have the face to see you when I go underground. When you were born, your wife waited for you for decades, and what is it to continue to wait after you die? ā
Mrs. Deng couldn't bear it anymore, she couldn't afford the depressed faces of the people she saw every day, and she couldn't afford the infamy for thousands of years.
"Go and call the heads of Tianming and the various houses in the clan, the old body has something to say to them."
Mrs. Deng seemed to have aged dozens of years overnight, and her already silver hair became grayer and grayer, like the first snow covering the earth in early winter, not thick enough, mixed with the color of the earth, bleak and lifeless.
Since the appearance of the mysterious man, all the business of the Deng clan has almost come to a standstill, and all the clansmen within the five suits are on standby in the Deng family compound to fight the impending crisis together.
On the matter of whether to sacrifice Mrs. Deng's body, although the Deng family had different opinions, after Mrs. Deng showed a clear attitude, whether they refused or agreed, they swallowed their opinions back into their stomachs.
Unite!
This has always been the only way for the Deng family to pass on their family, and it is also the winning method that has supported them to pass on their family as ordinary people for thousands of years.
There are only ten days from the limit of 100 days, and Mrs. Deng summoned all the leaders at this juncture, since there was something important to order, no one dared to perfunctory, and in less than 20 minutes, nearly 100 people in charge within five suits all gathered in Mrs. Deng's single courtyard.
Different from the family meeting in Pingsuri, the atmosphere of today's independent courtyard is still solemn, and the limit of 100 days is on everyone's heart, and everyone knows that this is very likely to be the last family meeting of the Deng family.
Nearly 100 people sat around the single courtyard, but no one whispered, only the sound of the plane tree rustling in the wind, and occasionally one or two yellowed plane leaves falling to the ground, and no one looked sideways, either hanging their heads, or raising their eyes, staring at Mrs. Deng's voice burningly.
Mrs. Deng walked out of the main wing room with the support of the servant, stood on the high steps and slowly swept the hundred and ten directors around, before squeezing out a difficult smile.
"All here?"
In the past, the head of the team at the bottom rarely had to echo twice, and those with out-of-character personalities would even say hello to the old lady and say two jokes to make the old lady happy.
No one made a sound today, and everyone looked at Mrs. Deng's increasingly old face, but they felt sad and sad.
The Deng family has been passed down for thousands of years, and after all, it will not be able to do it for thousands of generations, and this is the end.
"Alas!"
The heaviness of the crowd made Mrs. Deng sigh with a sigh, and she refused the seat that the servant had brought her, and then removed the hand that the servant wanted to hold her, and stood there stubbornly with a cane, trembling, as if she might fall down at any moment. But that thin body released an incomparably resolute momentum, infecting everyone.
"The old man is old, and in a few days, it's time to reunite with the old man. The old man married into the Deng family at the age of eighteen, and took charge of the Deng family at the age of twenty-two, and after more than 60 years, he did not disgrace the family. It's come to an end, and it's stubborn like this, but now that I think about it, this is practicing the family! ā
Mrs. Deng's heavy words moved all the clansmen, and everyone's minds involuntarily appeared the bits and pieces that the old lady had paid for the family, and many people shed tears.
A few old people who were the same age as Mrs. Deng wiped their tears, secretly gave Deng Tianming a look, and motioned him to comfort the old lady on behalf of everyone.
"Mother, you ......"
Deng Tianming's words had just begun, and Mrs. Deng waved her hand decisively and said, "Listen to the old man." "The majesty that has never been there, the person in charge of the Deng family who used to be in charge of the Deng family is back again, Deng Tianming involuntarily swallowed back the words that came to his throat.
"When people die, the lights go out, and the old body stubbornly hides a corpse, which is the confusion of the old body. These days, I've been reminiscing about the old man, and the old man has asked himself countless times, what would happen to the old man if he knew I was doing this? Will he be happy, or will he scold the old body? ā
Mrs. Deng sighed inexplicably, "He will definitely scold the old man." In order to give the family a good future, the old man buried his life in the middle. In the end, he became neither human nor ghost, but when he came to the end, he tried his best to sober himself up for a while, and he still explained the family affairs. ā
"He is not a man who lives for himself."
The look in Mrs. Deng's eyes was very complicated, with nostalgia, love, resentment, and a little pain.
"The old man married him, and it didn't take a few days to live in peace. Thinking about it now, wasn't it because he had this energy in the first place that the old man married into the Deng family without hesitation? So no matter what, the old body can't complain. The path you choose, even if you are choking back tears, you have to finish it. ā
"That old thing is not a person who lives for himself, and the old man loves and respects him, so he can't discredit the discipline he has adhered to all his life. When a person dies, where he is buried and who he is buried with, it is not so important. As long as you close your eyes and think to each other in your heart, you will not forget each other if you sleep underground. The farther the road is, the farther it is, and look for each other. ā
Mrs. Deng smiled sadly, her wrinkled face was completely relaxed, although she was old, she exuded incomparable beauty, just like the most colorful flower in the garden in spring.
"The old body can't bury the fate of the entire family for his own obsession. Don't fight, don't rob, take his body away, you just need to remember his goodness, remember his dedication to the family, the old body and him, and you will be at ease! ā
As soon as this sentence came out, the hundred and ten people in charge of the courtyard only felt a roar in their minds, and the old lady chattered for a long time, expressing her feelings for a long time, everyone had already guessed that the old lady might make a major decision, but no one thought that the old lady would actually let go at this time and wanted to hand over the body of Mrs. Deng.
Most of the people did not react at the first time, the old lady resolutely refused the mysterious man's request at the beginning, and the whole family was preparing for the impending extermination crisis. Seeing that the last moment was coming, the old lady suddenly figured it out.
This...... The family's preparation for several months before and after was in vain?
The directors of the blockbuster were in tears, and they couldn't tell why they were crying, like joy, but like sadness, it was extremely complicated.
"Tianming, come here." Mrs. Deng beckoned Deng Tianming to her side.
"Mother, my son is wrong!" Deng Tianming was also choked up at this time, and the old lady's words deeply touched his heart.
"Stinky boy, I'm softening at this time. Your insistence is for the sake of the family, what's wrong? The wrong thing is for the mother, and the mother shouldn't be difficult for you. Mrs. Deng was a head shorter than Deng Tianming, but at this time, she reached out tremblingly and wanted to touch the top of Deng Tianming's head.
Deng Tianming hurriedly bent down.
Mrs. Deng touched the top of her son's head and muttered, "I'm sorry for you, child." ā
"Mother, I'm not bitter!" Deng Tianming choked even more, "It's all son's, it's not it, let the old lady worry about you." ā
"Okay, don't worry about who's right and who's wrong." Mrs. Deng said solemnly: "Listen, if the mysterious person reappears, no one needs to stop him, and directly tell him the whereabouts of the body." The body was in the morgue of the Xishan Provincial Research Institute, and the key was in the mouth of the Buddha statue at the head of the old body's bed. Don't forget. ā
Deng Tianming suddenly had a bad premonition, how could the old lady seem to be confessing her last words?
"Mother, what are you doing here?"
"What can you do?" Mrs. Deng pretended to be angry and reprimanded, "Although the body is handed over, the disaster of the family can be avoided. But the matter over there has to be supervised, the woman is too hard to be in charge, don't put the burden on her shoulders. You, hurry up and marry again, and have a son while you're young. ā
It's more like a last word!
Deng Tianming's ominous premonition was even stronger!
"You are all the pillars of my Deng family, and the thousand-year-old foundation of the Deng family has to rely on you to support it together. Forgive the old body for being confused, the old body is grateful! ā
Mrs. Deng suddenly shouted a word loudly to everyone, and then bowed down with her cane and made a big salute to everyone.
This frightened everyone enough, they didn't dare to bear the old lady's salute, and moved away violently, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
As if she hadn't seen everyone's apprehension, Mrs. Deng kept bowing and didn't move for dozens of seconds.
Eventually, someone noticed something was wrong, and the noise gradually calmed down.
Deng Tianming trembled and stretched out his hand under the old lady's nose to probe, and could no longer hold back the sadness in his heart, and shouted "Mother" to the sky, and then the whole person collapsed on the ground and cried.
