Early the next morning, I was woken up by the rapid ringing of the phone.

No one should call me at this point, I looked at the time, it's only five o'clock, Gu Man's side, I'll pick her up at seven o'clock, huh... How is it an unfamiliar number, or from the field.

I rolled over in some confusion and looked at the number, which was still ringing.

It stands to reason that when the call comes, it's over, and I'm stunned.

But this time, I don't know why, I hesitated for a long time.

It's like hell on the other end of the phone.

I suddenly had a bad thought in my heart, and I didn't know how to describe it, so I felt that something big was going to happen today.

Perhaps instinctively, I pulled the caller ID box down, and the call was connected.

"Zhang Yao, come to the old mansion and see off your grandfather."

When I heard this, I felt like my whole brain was exploding.

"What?"

"I'll just wait for you for two hours, and if you don't show up after two hours, I'll take him into the funeral home and be cremated."

"Hey, what did you just say? You wait......"

Before I could finish my sentence, the phone on the other side hung up.

Leave me alone in a daze, what's the situation? Grandpa, dead?

My first reaction was impossible, this is a scam call, right? When I went to see my grandfather yesterday, wasn't he okay? How can you ...... today?

But this person seems to know his grandfather very well, and he likes to call it the old mansion of the villa.

I began to panic in my heart, and coupled with the bad premonition before, I felt that something really seemed to be wrong with my grandfather.

So I hurriedly called his landline, fortunately, it didn't take long for it to get through, I was relieved, it seems that it should be a scam just now, or it was a mistake.

However, before the thought lasted a minute, my daydream shattered.

The voice of the man on the other end of the phone came from the phone.

"Don't you believe it? Now you have 1 hour and 55 minutes left. ”

After saying that, he hung up the phone again, this time I was completely panicked, grandpa's good body is very tough, how can it be at this time......

I didn't dare to continue to think about it, so I quickly washed my face, and after sobering up for a while, I went downstairs and drove in the direction of the old house.

I didn't even know how I got here, I was a little distracted while driving, and I had no idea what was going on, so much so that I almost hit someone at an intersection.

After avoiding a car accident, I felt a lot more energetic, but I still couldn't believe the message on the phone.

Impossible, impossible, impossible......

My mind repeated it again and again, whether it was useful or not.

Thirty minutes later, the car came to a steady stop in front of the old house, which had taken at least forty or fifty minutes to drive from the rental house, and I had just been speeding all the way over.

The old house is no different from when I left yesterday, except that there was a car parked at the door with a foreign license plate.

The gate of the courtyard was open, and I hurried inside, and then into the side house.

It was his grandfather's bedroom, and he was lying peacefully on the bed, and at the head of the bed stood a silver-haired man like him.

I frantically threw myself on the side of the bed and grabbed my grandfather's hand, but his wrist was already cold.

"Walking in my sleep, very peaceful."

The man standing behind me suddenly said at this time: "I still need you to sign the consent form for cremation, hurry up and complete the formalities, I still have to leave here." ”

I slowly stood up and stared at the man in front of me who was about the same age as my grandfather, to be exact, he was already a little old man, but he was quite temperamental, in a suit and leather shoes, like a successful person.

Who is this person? Why is it here in the old house? And why did you call me?

"You haven't made it clear to me, why did Grandpa die? Did you kill him? You're a murderer, I'm going to arrest you. ”

I admit that I was a little emotional at the time, although my relationship with my grandfather was a little estranged because of the estrangement between my parents, but anyway, he was also my grandfather, and my only closest relative in this world, and when he left, I couldn't be unfazed.

Especially when I came to see him yesterday afternoon, he talked and laughed with me in a dignified manner, and also told me about the sacrificial spirit bloodline and ghost talismans, I thought that there would be a chance to listen to him slowly in the future, but in today's opinion, this is no longer possible.

The silver-haired old man didn't look at me at all, and said calmly.

"Lao Zhang is gone, are you like this with no owner? If you want to arrest me, what proof do you have that I killed your grandfather? ”

When he said this, he glanced at the bed out of the corner of his eye and saw his grandfather lying peacefully on the bed.

After a heavy sigh, he said: "I received a call from your grandfather last night, he said that he was running out of time, he couldn't spend any time, and hoped that I could take care of you after he died, and by the time I drove over, he was already ......"

I don't know what this silver-haired old man has to do with Grandpa, but if what he says is true, then Grandpa's summoning him after feeling that his time is running out, and even entrusting me to him, is enough to prove that this silver-haired old man is much more than it seems.

"Lao Zhang asked me to take care of you, but I don't think you need it, and your foundation is too poor, it's like losing the face of the sacrificial spirit bloodline."

"You... Do you know the bloodline of the Sacrifice Spirit? ”

However, he was not ready to cooperate with me at all, but after looking at me with disdain, he said: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, tell Lao Zhang goodbye, I have contacted the funeral home, and they will come immediately." ”

"Nope."

I then reacted and quickly said no.

I couldn't have had my grandfather taken to cremation until things were figured out, and even now I wasn't ready to accept the fact that my grandfather had died.

I don't understand, I really don't understand, how could such a change happen 24 hours after I left this house?

Grandpa knows that his time is numbered? No, no, no, it's impossible, his body has always been very tough, how can he say no, he can't do it, I don't believe this.

But after I examined my grandfather's body, I found that there was no trace of his murder, and I couldn't determine whether he committed suicide until I examined it, just like the old man said, grandpa walked away in his sleep, very peaceful.

When I couldn't do anything, the silver-haired old man came up again.

But this time, he put his hand on my shoulder and said, "Your grandfather is also a human being, and he can't avoid going through this experience. ”

It didn't take long for the funeral home to come, and after confirming that Grandpa was indeed brain dead, he pulled Grandpa into the car.

I've never been to the funeral home, so when the staff asked me to sign, I was stunned for a long time.

I don't have any relatives in our house, so I don't know who to notify, and my parents are long gone, and my grandfather must have known, but he only told me some fur yesterday.

I wonder if I'll never be able to touch the truth again in my life.

I vaguely remember that my grandfather said that after he died, let me just find a cemetery and bury their ashes, because he didn't want to return to his roots, so he didn't want to go back to the countryside.

It stands to reason that grandpa should have some nostalgia at this age, but he didn't, he said that he had lived in the countryside all his life and didn't want to die there when he was old.

I informed Gu Man, it stands to reason that it has nothing to do with her, but I just want to tell her, or simply, I think she can accompany me now.

All this is like a dream, it has only been more than ten hours, but it seems to have changed.

first almost died in the basement, and then learned about his sacrificial spirit bloodline, and then Mo Xiaoyun was arrested, Lao Ding was a little wrong, and finally grandpa was also ......

What exactly have I experienced in less than a day?

When Gu Man heard me say this on the phone, he was still a little stunned.

"What do you say? Say it again, Zhang Yao, today is not April Fool's Day, if you don't want to pick me up, I'll call ...... myself."

"My grandfather is gone, can you come and accompany me?"

This is probably the most sensual thing I can say, I didn't expect to be so fragile and need someone to accompany me.

"How... How could it be ......"

She still didn't believe it, but then said, "You send me a location, and I'll go over right away." ”

Then I heard her getting dressed.

I hung up her phone and sent her the location on WeChat.

To be honest, I didn't plan to inform anyone, my grandfather had no relatives and no reason other than me before his death, and there was nothing to notify, and our Zhang family was not a big family.

But when it comes to the deceased, I would like to inform the ancient chief, this is one of the only people I know who has dealings with my grandfather, and some other people will come to visit my grandfather's house every year, but they are all previous customers, and every time I visit, I just hope that my grandfather will give them another hexagram.

As for Lao Ding's side, he has a lot of respect for his grandfather, but his performance yesterday made me want to stay away from him, and I always feel that Lao Ding is also polluted by the atmosphere in this system.

Gu Man estimated that she came as fast as she could, but when she arrived, she saw that I was the only one in the hall, and she was a little stunned.

"Didn't you notify the others?"

I shook my head.

"Then what's going on, why did it suddenly ......"

Yes, all of a sudden, I don't know how to answer this question, I wish the silver-haired old man would give me some advice, but he disappeared after coming to the funeral home with me.

Alarm? Did it work? I myself am, I didn't find any clues, and my grandfather's face was very peaceful, as if he had a sweet dream, and then in a dream......

Gu Man didn't speak again, she sat next to me, and after a second, came up and hugged me.
