The company has taken on a lot of cases for me recently, and I am busy every day, and the family incident has been echoing in my mind, and my state is not as comfortable as before. Actually, it's been more than a month since I last went to my grandfather's house, but I haven't replied to them yet. The most taboo person at work who has no credit, but I seem to have lost my trust in those two old men, and it is impossible to say that I have no guilt in my heart.

Xun An didn't push me, my mother called me once or twice a week, and life was no different from before, except for the painting, which reminded me of the stories that happened between my parents. There is also the picture of my grandparents standing together to see us off, and it tells me that there are two old people who are still waiting to be vindicated for their son, and that person is also my father.

I asked my assistant not to take on new cases for the time being, and I wanted to give myself enough time and space to deal with my own personal affairs. But just as I was fighting the last lawsuit and standing outside the courthouse to take a deep breath and relax, Xun An told me a piece of news.

"Grandma is missing."

The first thing I thought of was to call the police, but I could think of everything I could think of. He told me that the police had opened an investigation, but because there was no surveillance in the mountainous area, they had expanded the area to the entire area, but still did not see my grandmother. Grandpa was very anxious, his worries were not superfluous, and it was a matter of life to be outside for so long in the state of grandma. I asked Xun'an to pick me up at the company.

When I went to my grandfather's house again, the family had completely changed, and my father's calligraphy and paintings were all gone. Grandpa's already unspirited body became even more haggard, and it seemed that it would shatter at the touch of it. I don't know how to comfort people, when my father died, not only did I not comfort everyone, but I was always taken care of by them. So even if I saw that my grandfather was sad, I didn't dare to step forward and say a few words that would make him comfortable, so I just grabbed Xun'an's hand tightly and expressed my confusion.

Xun An stepped forward and said a few words to his grandfather, which worked, and he immediately recovered like a normal person and told us what happened.

"I went to the toilet and disappeared from her. I thought she was just playing nearby, but after searching several times and not finding it, I realized that something was wrong. She has never gone out alone, and she took away her son's calligraphy and paintings this time, so I really can't figure it out...... The neighbors helped me search the whole mountain and didn't find her, so I was anxious, and then immediately borrowed a phone to contact Xun'an. He asked my grandmother how long she had been out, and I said it was almost a day, and he immediately rushed over to accompany me and told me to wait, saying that the police department had ruled that it would take 24 hours for the disappearance to open a case. Isn't this a blind rule? People can walk for a long distance 24 hours a day, but I still listened to Xun'an's words and waited at home, but after waiting for so long, the police still didn't find me...... What should she do if she starves and freezes outside? How can there be so many well-wishers in this world who would help take care of a 'madman', I don't believe it! I don't believe it......"

Grandpa couldn't say a few words and started to get excited again, so I stepped forward and hugged him. People are so vulnerable, I thought when I held him.

I thought of the possibility that my grandmother was looking for her son. Maybe I woke them up, and Grandpa and Xun'an both looked at me at the same time.

Since she is looking for her son, will she go to my house? Thinking of this, we hurriedly got into the car. It's not far from my house, but because there is a river in the middle, you have to make many detours to get to the bridge. I was nervous when I looked at the river, and I always felt that something inside that I couldn't see was staring at us.

I called my mother while I was in the car, and I could tell from the phone that she didn't know anything about it. Just as he was crossing the bridge, Xun An received a call from the police, who said that a female corpse had been found downstream of the river. Xun An braked suddenly, and we were all scared. When Grandpa learned about the call, he fainted.

Grandma still had the calligraphy and paintings in her hands, but most of them had been soaked and rotten, and her body had smoothed out all the wrinkles because she had drunk enough water. I didn't go to the autopsy, but I was guarding my grandfather in the hospital. Xun An was very calm when he narrated to us, not like helplessness after accepting the facts, but other emotional sequelae that I couldn't understand. Later, he told me that if he hadn't suddenly found the old men and announced his father's death to them, maybe my grandmother wouldn't have died so early.

This may be a common disease of people, who think that they have the ability to put people to death, and they are not immune to finding peace.

At the time of the funeral, my mother also came. There were only six people in this farewell ceremony, including the one buried in the ground. Grandpa still insisted on burial, and must be buried in the vegetable garden, he said that he would not live long anyway, this house will no longer be inhabited, he wants to guard this mountain for the rest of his life. People who rely on the mountains should be like this, and regard the mountains as their place of enlightenment and all their destinations.

He didn't want us to come, he said that he had already planned to guard his grandmother alone, but unexpectedly there were so many people who were not adaptable, and they were uncomfortable talking to the dead, and there would always be people who would hear it intentionally or unintentionally. And my mother also brought my eldest brother with me, and this was the first time I saw my father since I knew the truth about his death, and he was still pretending to be crazy and stupid in front of people as before, and I didn't have the heart to expose it in an environment where I shouldn't have any emotions other than sadness. Grandpa, like me, knew that the person in front of him was likely to have a deep hatred for him, but he still pretended not to know anything, even if that person was deliberately causing trouble. The eldest brother was even more presumptuous in the garden than in his own house, and he was like a wild duck who committed a crime against the wind, biting the leaflets that were growing luxuriantly, and scaring the chickens who were already helpless. My mother couldn't stop her, she followed her eldest brother the whole time, and she didn't look like the person in my father's portrait, I was disappointed. The next second I took them back.

On the way back, I asked my mother, "Big brother has never been far away, has he?" ”

The mother was stunned for a moment, "No." ”
