Grandpa forcibly smiled, suddenly stopped coughing, became a little radiant, and said fluently: "Seeing you so strong, grandpa is relieved, Lianfan, in fact, grandpa lied to you at the beginning, Miss Zhao did not die, when she was about to be killed by those female ghosts, I reached an agreement with those female ghosts, and at the cost of my yang longevity, I saved her Yuanshen." ”

"Grandpa, so you want to leave this world now because you saved Zhao Yixian?" I asked sadly.

Grandpa smiled and said: "The doctor does not heal himself, I tell fortunes to read the eight characters, but I don't know what my fate is, I have calculated with your third uncle, in fact, next year, I am also approaching, it has no impact on me, Miss Zhao's love is unique, I can use a year of longevity to save Miss Zhao's Yuanshen, it is already very worthwhile." ”

"Genshin?" I asked, a little confused.

Grandpa nodded and said: "Yes, people die and leave their souls, and demons destroy the original gods, Miss Zhao's original gods are still in the jade ring on your chest at this time, in fact, she has been with you for the past three years, but her original spirit has been poisoned by the evil of those female ghosts, resulting in only parasitic in the jade ring." ”

"Then why did she never speak to me?" I asked, a little confused.

Grandpa shook his head and said: "Although she didn't talk to you, but she saved you once, three years ago you went to dig the grave, that ghost hit the wall, she asked the bamboo and her mother to get it, if you really went to dig the grave at that time, then our grandfather wouldn't live today, she didn't talk to you, one didn't want you to worry, and the other one, probably because she was too weak." ”

I hurriedly pulled out the jade ring from my chest, held it tightly in my hand, and said to the jade ring: "Zhao Yixian, are you really there?" ”

As soon as I finished asking, the originally cold jade emitted a burst of warmth again, really responding to me.

"Grandpa, she's really here." I smiled reluctantly, I was actually quite happy at this time, but I couldn't be happy with my grandfather who was about to leave.

Grandpa smiled, nodded and said, "Although you are only fifteen years old, your mind is already very mature, Miss Zhao is kind to our family, you have to find a way to help her." ”

"Grandpa, what should I do?" I asked.

Grandpa replied, "Go to the city to find your third uncle, he should have a way." ”

"Third uncle? I still have a third uncle? Why haven't I heard you talk about it before? "For as long as I can remember, I don't have parents, no uncles and brothers, my grandfather is my only relative, I have asked these things, but my grandfather said that I was too young, and he would tell me when I was older, and I never asked again.

Grandpa sighed and said: "Your grandmother helped me give birth to three sons, the eldest and the second died unexpectedly at the age of nine, I thought it was an accident, and later I learned that it was my problem, I was a widow, so I divorced your grandmother and drove her away, your grandmother is uneducated, and I don't want your third uncle to drag down your grandmother, so I secretly sent your third uncle to a friend's Taoist temple, your third uncle learned some Xuanmen skills, so he went to the city, he wanted to come back several times, but I scolded him, I was afraid of killing him again." ”

I listened silently and didn't interject, and my grandfather continued: "The most sorry thing for me in this life is your grandma, if you can see her in the future, help me say 'I'm sorry'." ”

I hummed, tears couldn't stop flowing, and I pretended to be really said: "Grandpa, I'm sorry, I was naughty and caused you so much trouble before." ”

Grandpa trembled his hands, lifted it up with difficulty, touched my head and said, "You are already very sensible, I am very pleased, and there is one more thing, it is about your life experience, in fact, you are not my own grandson." ”

"Grandpa, I am your Zhao Xin's grandson, all my life." I said firmly.

Grandpa smiled hard and said: "It's not wrong that you are surnamed Zhao, but you were picked up by me, you were less than half a year old when you picked it up, and there is only one birthday and surname on your body, and the jade ring on your body, I carefully combined our eight characters, knowing that my life is not against you, I dare to adopt you, the jade ring on your body is not simple, as for who your biological parents are, I have been looking for a long time, but there is no result, this matter, maybe you can only rely on your own efforts." ”

"Well, grandpa, I see, you rest for a while, don't talk so much." I choked up while wiping my tears, looking at my grandfather's weak appearance, my heart hurt.

"Hehe, the time has come, Lianfan, remember to take good care of yourself, the things in the drawer are what I left to you, the road ahead is still very long, you have to be strong, keep a good heart, God will take care of you...... You ......"

This was the last thing Grandpa said, and after he finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes, his hands naturally drooped, and he still maintained a faint smile on his face.

"Grandpa......" I finally couldn't bear the great grief, and the tears broke the embankment in the heart-rending cry.

Less than an hour after my grandfather left, my voice was hoarse, and those superficial strengths disappeared in an instant.

Grandpa Hu walked in with a shroud, he looked at the body of his grandfather on the bed, sighed deeply, wiped his moist eyes with his sleeve, and said, "Lianfan, I'll take care of Brother Zhao's funeral." ”

I looked at Grandpa Hu, his eyes were red, and he asked, "Grandpa Hu, what's the matter with the snake scales on my grandfather's hands and feet?" ”

Grandpa Hu sighed and said: "Those female ghosts want your grandfather's longevity, and they don't want to leave the crime of murder, so they use Miss Zhao's snake qi to control your grandfather's death, creating the illusion that your grandfather was killed by Miss Zhao, in fact, you know in your heart that this matter has nothing to do with Miss Zhao, right?" ”

"yes, I know." I nodded silently, took the shroud from Grandpa Hu's hand, and helped Grandpa change it on.

……

Grandpa's funeral was very grand, and it was also buried on the grave mountain, and the funeral lasted for three days, and many people came from ten miles and eight towns, these people had been helped by grandpa before, and none of them forgot their roots.

On the fifth day of grandpa's departure, I only slept for a few hours in the past five days, and finally couldn't bear to fall asleep the night before, with Zhao Yixian in her dream, she seemed to know something, so she was comforting me, but her appearance was very vague, and I couldn't see it clearly.

After waking up, I gradually accepted this reality, I have been living in my grandfather's bedroom for the past few days, the drawer that my grandfather said, I have not opened it, today, I know that I should go, grandpa is gone, this old man who raised me has always been regarded as my only relative, grandpa is right, there is still a long way to go, and in the jade ring on my chest, there is also my wife Zhao Yixian, no matter what, I have to save her.

Because, I only have her now.

I opened that drawer.

There were only three things in the drawer, a letter, a stack of money, and a very old photograph.

The photo is very blurry, you can't see what it is, you can't even see whether it's a person or a landscape, but it's been molded and won't become more blurry.

I slowly picked up the envelope and carefully opened it, the letter was very long, written by my grandfather in pen and handwriting, and it was three pages long.

After reading the letter carefully, I sighed deeply, grandpa first told me the address of my third uncle, and then wrote some speculation about my life experience, grandpa said that every year he would receive money from a stranger, the money was placed at the door, he suspected that the person who gave the money was my biological parents, but he couldn't find them, the money in the drawer, there were more than 50,000 yuan, these more than 50,000 yuan were given by the stranger, grandpa kept it, even on the day of the ghost show, he would rather go out to borrow money than use the money.

I folded the envelope and put it away, I didn't have any feelings for my biological parents, and I didn't even blame them if they left me and never showed up again. If it is really as my grandfather said, I still send money here every year, but I refuse to recognize each other, which makes me completely miss them in my heart, how many days and nights when I was a child to watch other people's parents secretly cry, now I am used to it, as if they never existed.

I cleaned up my things a little, and then cleaned the house, all the doors and windows were closed, I dragged a small box and left the house, I didn't take my grandfather's tablet with me, I didn't have time to worship, and I was taken to the house by Grandpa Hu to make offerings.

In ancient times, when my parents died, I needed to keep filial piety for three years, and I also wanted to keep filial piety for my grandfather for three years, but this is not what my grandfather wanted to see, and I was anxious to save Zhao Yixian, so I could only pray in my heart every day that my grandfather could go all the way and ascend to bliss as soon as possible.

The third uncle lives in the city, far away from home, I took the bus for most of the day, when I came to the bus station it was already dark, I was not familiar with the city, and I didn't know how to take the car, and because I still had some money, so I was ready to take a taxi to the place where the third uncle was.

"Where are you going, young man?" The driver asked very attentively.

I said directly: "Master, I'm going to No. 44 Qianhun Road, do you know it's far from here?" ”

"No. 44 Qianhun Road?? Young man, what are you doing there at night? The driver asked in surprise, his expression even a little frightened.

Looking at the driver's expression, I asked with some confusion, "Master, is there any problem there?" ”

The driver sighed and said: "Young man, you don't know, Qianhun Road is also called Qianhun Road, it used to be just an independent town, during the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese devils killed thousands of people, all buried there, and then the whole town was abandoned, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the government rebuilt once, and dozens of families moved in, but that place is very evil, and the people who live there have basically become neurotics, and then the houses on the whole road have been abandoned, and no one lives there, There's no one in sight there, let alone at night, so get out of the car, boy, I won't do this kind of hurtful thing. ”
