Chapter 31: The Beginning of the Journey

On the morning of the second day of Qingsu's departure, Guan Qing's father took her home according to the old lady's wishes, and passed away peacefully soon after, it is said that the last time has been Guan Qing's father and son together, because it is an only son, after the old lady left, Guan Qing's father personally scrubbed her body, changed into filial piety clothes, and then the funeral was low-key and simple, only the closest relatives and friends were notified to attend, and all public reports were refused。

"My dad said that the old lady must want to go quietly, and if he does a big show, the old lady will definitely come and scold him. After the first seven, Guan Qing came to Tianbei groceries, "My dad also asked me to say thank you for him." ”

"Thank me for what?" I was a little confused.

"My dad seems to know about grandma, he said that he didn't believe what grandma said before, it felt like the old lady imagined it herself, but as long as she was happy, my dad didn't care if it was true or not," Guan Qing said, "but on the day grandma died, my dad said that he saw something invisible helping him comb grandma's hair, carefully and gently, and he said that his tears fell at that time, but he didn't expect that the past things that grandma kept telling him were true." During the few days of the vigil, the incense could not be broken according to the rules, but only our family of three, and there were many guests who came to the door, sometimes we would be negligent, but several times when we hurried over, new incense had been renewed. ”

He went anyway. I said, "I can't bear it." ”

"Well, so my dad said thank you for helping grandma fulfill her wish for so many years. ”

"I didn't do anything, they didn't forget each other before they met again. ”

"By the way, Yeke, there's something I think is a little strange. Guan Qing suddenly said, "When I was keeping the spirit, I always felt that I could see a vague little figure in the house, which felt very similar to the monster wearing a turban described by my grandmother, do you say it was an illusion?"

It seems that Qingsu's words are right, Guan Qing really began to see shadows, "It shouldn't be." ”

β€œ...... But how can I see that?"

"Actually, I don't know exactly what happened, but when the Bandana left that day, he said that you might have inherited your grandmother's talent, but it didn't go into details. ”

Guan Qing was silent for a while, "Do you know what that turban villain is called?"

"Sorry, I can't tell you, the name of the yokai is important to them, wait for it to tell you yourself. I said.

"However, I don't know when I'll see it again," he said, a little disappointed.

"Don't worry, we'll see you again. I said.

Guan Qing nodded, "On the fifteenth day of the first month, do you and Tsubaki have time?"

"On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month... It should be okay to talk to the old man, what's wrong?"

"Inviting you to go to the beach for a vacation, my dad said that there are too many people at home these days, let me go out for a few days, I thought it would be better for us to go to the beach together. ”

"Hmm... I'll ask Tsubaki when she gets back. "I was calculating in my heart how much it would cost to go to the beach, and I didn't know if it would be enough.

"Don't worry about money, let's drive there and stay, my family has their own house there, so we don't have to spend any money. Guan Qing immediately understood my thoughts.

"How can you do it, no matter how much your own house is in vain. ”

"That's it, you help me pay for the gas, and don't be polite to me anymore. ”

"But..."I'm still very hesitant, although Guan Qing is my best friend, I can't always eat and drink for nothing.

"Don't do it, that's it, if you really don't want to go, tell me more about the monsters. Guan Qing said.

β€œ......”

"If you don't agree, I'll tell Tsubaki that you don't want to take her. ”

"Don't!"

"That's a yes. ”

β€œ...... All right. ”

When she told Tsubaki, she jumped up happily, "Yes, yes, yes, are you going to the beach? Oh, I haven't been to the beach for a long time! Of course I have time!"

It's been a long time since I've seen Tsubaki so happy, and it's good to go out once in a while, so I sent a message to Guan Qing, "Tsubaki and I can do it." ”

Early in the morning of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Guan Qing drove to Tianbei groceries.

The old man stood in front of the gate, "Hmph, young people nowadays, what are you doing fashionably, and you will travel by car before the New Year is over." ”

"Boss, we'll bring you a special product when we come back!" Guan Qing said with a smile.

"I'm a guy who just came back from Hawaii, and you're bringing me a souvenir? ”

"Boss, then I'll go out with Tsubaki. "I was carrying my suitcase.

The old man pouted, "You can take care of Tsubaki for me, or I will fire you." ”

"Okay, I'll bring you the white cat with a lot of hair. I put my luggage in the trunk, Tsubaki jumped in the back seat, and I sat in the passenger seat, "Then let's go, you can slow down at home, call me if you have something." ”

"Let's go, let's go, I'll be quiet for a few days. "After the old man finished speaking, he left us with a big back.

"Then boss, let's go!" Guan Qing started the car after speaking, and I heard a voice coming from behind the car.

"I'm not your boss!"

It should be because the old lady had just passed away, and Guan Qing rarely spoke along the way.

"Actually, you don't want to come out, do you?" I asked him.

"Well, but what my dad said is right, it's useless for me to be at home, but I have to worry about them, it's better to come out for a walk first, and after sorting out my mood, I can show my best state when I take over the company. ”

β€œ... You're going to take over the company?" shouted my Tsubaki's eyes as they fell out.

"Yes, my dad also took over when he was in his twenties, and I will be the person in charge on the surface in the future, that is, my dad's previous identity, and my dad is the one at the helm behind it, that is, my grandma's original identity. ”

"Guan Qing, I feel more and more that you are an incredible character. "I nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and I was even more impressed by the person in front of me who was my age.

Guan Qing laughed, "How can you say it as if it was some earth-shattering event." Actually, I'm not interested, but I can't escape the family tradition, so just accept it. It takes seven hours to get to the finish line, so if you two get tired, you can sleep. ”

"I'm sorry, I haven't got a driver's license yet, otherwise I can help you. "I feel a little guilty when I think about driving by myself for seven hours.

"It's okay, I can't sleep anyway, but you can go and take the exam when you come back this time, it's still useful." ”

"Well, too. ”

"By the way, do you want to listen to the song, let's find a song to listen to," Guan Qing threw the phone to me, "You ask Tsubaki what you want to hear." ”

"La Vie en Rose?" I asked her, and the white cat nodded. I found the song in the player and pressed play.

"Isn't that a movie?" asked Guan Qing.

"Well, it's a movie, it's a song. I replied.
