Chapter 30: Farewell

Life is like a meteor in the sky, and only when it falls can the most gorgeous moments be left.

At that time, I didn't know why the old Shi Tou chose death, he had always been good, there was no sign before he died, and let me and Wolf Qi go to buy him wine, but it was just a blink of an eye, but the old Shi Tou was separated from me Yin and Yang, I held the body of the old Shi Tou and cried for a long time, at this time Wolf Qi had already run down the mountain to inform my grandfather of them.

When my grandfather arrived with someone, he asked people to pull me away first, and then looked at the body of the old man, my grandfather walked over, squatted down and looked at it for a long time, and didn't say a word, only heard my grandfather sighing, pull the body away, this is the only thing my grandfather said that day.

After the body of the old Shi Tou was pulled away, Grandpa asked me and Wolf Qi to go home first, and he took care of these things.

Grandpa was busy for a day, the old Shi Tou did not leave any relics after his death, the mourning hall was also arranged in the Dixian Temple, and no one came to mourn, only me and Wolf Qi and Grandpa The three of us gave the old Shi Tou a vigil, the old Shi Tou did not take a photo before his death, so that there was not even a posthumous photo, there was only one spiritual position on the table, I and the Wolf Qi wore filial piety, the old Shi Tou had no children and no daughters in this life, only me and the Wolf Seven were the two closest people, and the old Shi Tou has always treated me as a grandson, so Grandpa let me and the Wolf Qi wear heavy filial piety, Kneeling on the ground to burn paper for the old Shitou. At this time, my grandfather said to me: "Kid, burn more paper for your Grandpa Shi, your Grandpa Shi was good to you when he was alive."

At night, I asked my grandfather to go inside to rest for a while, I and Wolf Seven were guarding outside, at this time the stars were dotted, I looked at the starry sky, remembered the bits and pieces of getting along with the old Shitou, and the tears flowed down without fighting, and Wolf Seven comforted me on the side. But that kind of sadness lingers, although I have had fights with the old Shi Tou before, but in my heart he has always been my elder, my grandfather, and the old Shi Tou is also good to me, if it wasn't for the old Shi Tou to come forward, I would have been killed by those Huang Xian, but why can't I think about it.

Xiao Xie, do you remember your car in the morning, Wolf Qi said at this time.

I suddenly remembered, the car must have gone up the back mountain in the morning, according to Wolf Qi, the car has been here more than once, and it has been here a few years ago, presumably the death of the old Shi Tou must have something to do with those people, I really hate myself when I think of this, if I had kept an eye on it and followed them up the mountain, maybe there would not have been today's thing, and the old Shi Tou would not have died, blaming himself for being careless, and now the clues are interrupted to find those people It is more difficult than looking for a needle in a haystack.

Wake for the old Shi Tou for three days, this morning is the day of the funeral, the funeral of the old Shi Tou is also very simple, only the three of us, in the body farewell hall, I saw the old Shi Tou again, he walked very peacefully, it looked like he was asleep, how I wanted to pounce and call him up, but this was no longer possible, Wolf Qi pulled me tightly, and the funeral home staff pulled the old Shi Tou's body to the cremation room for cremation.

Now I hold the ashes of the old Shitou, came to the back mountain, grandpa has ordered someone to dig a pit, after burying the ashes of the old Shitou, a monument was erected on it, this monument was set up by me at my expense for the old Shitou, I stood in front of the grave and did not want to leave, looking at the tombstone seemed to see the old Shitou again, after a long time there was a sigh in the woods, alas! I hurried back to look for the voice, perhaps I was hallucinating.

When I got home, my parents and grandmother comforted me and said to me: People can't be resurrected after death, so I want to open a little. I nodded, and then my grandfather walked in from outside and said to me, "Little evil, come here, I have something to tell you."

Grandpa called me to his room and locked the door, let me sit down and then opened his old box, rummaged for a long time and took out a blue cloth bag from it, today grandpa seems also very mysterious, I don't know what he is doing, after a while grandpa came to me with the blue cloth bag and said: Open it and see.

I took the blue cloth bag and opened it layer by layer, only to see a leather drum and a drumstick inside.

Don't cry, child, I'm sure you're curious about why this drum is here with me, I'm telling you now, this drum was left to you by your grandfather Shi, when you were in high school, he once went down the mountain to find me, and said to me: This drum can only be given to you after he dies, I don't know what he means at the time, so I took this drum, alas! I didn't expect it to be today, this is also a relic left to you by your grandfather, you have to treasure it.

I stroked the drum and felt a sense of intimacy, as if I had met an old friend. Grandpa, can you tell me about the old man?

Grandpa also sat down at this time and said to me: I knew you would ask this, but now that your grandfather Shi has gone, this is no longer a secret, okay, I'll tell you, but I'll take you somewhere before telling you. After saying that, my grandfather got up and got dressed and asked me to go out with him, and I put away the drum and followed him out. After following my grandfather out, my grandfather first went to Dong Cripple's house to buy burning paper and wine and then took me to the back mountain, but this time it was not in the direction of the Dixian Temple, but went to another road, and after walking for a long time, my grandfather and I came to a lonely grave, and my grandfather pulled out the grass in front of the grave, and then stood in front of the tomb and watched for a long time, squatting down and lighting the burning paper.

I looked at the tombstone with the tomb of Yuan Shouyi written on it, who is this Yuan Shouyi, surnamed Yuan? Could it be that the great benefactor of my family, old Yuantou! After Grandpa burned the paper, he opened the wine and poured it on the ground for a while before he said: Brother Yuan, now that Brother Shi is also gone, I think you will not be lonely below, and now there is no oath to abide by, I think it is time to tell the juniors that incident After speaking, he looked back at me and said: Little evil, you know who is buried here.

It should be the great benefactor Lao Yuan Tou who has saved my family countless times, this my grandmother often told me when I was a child. So I concluded that this Yuan Shouyi was the old Yuan Tou back then.

Grandpa nodded and said: Yes, it is the old Yuan head, this old Yuan head has grace to my family, if it wasn't for him, how could he have your father, if there was no your father, how could there be you, do you know how this old history died.

How do I know, my grandfather is really, and at this time it still loses my appetite.

After grandpa and I found a clean place to sit down, then grandpa said to me: Let's talk about this old history first, now I still remember, it was a long time ago, when your father was not married, I was still in the village as a secretary, one winter it snowed heavily outside, your grandpa Yuan came to my house with a person, as soon as I entered the door, I was in the yard, after seeing me, your grandpa Yuan knelt down for me at once, and said to me: Brother Bu help.

At that time, I was startled, and I hurriedly helped your grandfather Yuan up and let him into the house.

After entering the house, I saw your Grandpa Yuan's injuries, and knew that something was wrong, so I asked him what happened, and your Grandpa Yuan looked back at the person he brought and said to me: Brother Bu This time, you have to save the lives of our brothers no matter what, as long as you are willing to help us, I Yuan Shouyi will repay your kindness even if I am a cow and a horse, and after saying that, your Grandpa Yuan knelt down for me again.

I helped him up again and said, "Don't worry, I'll help you with everything, but you have to tell me what happened."

At this time, your grandfather Yuan told me what happened.
