Throughout the night, the village fell into a state of sorrow.

The sadness of the death of a loved one, the sentimentality of suspicion of someone you trust.

When it was dark, Shi Huaiyu's father came back from the grandfather's house.

Everyone else slept, but Shi Huaiyu didn't sleep, he tossed and turned, and he couldn't sleep.

It was only when his father knocked on his door that Shi Huaiyu suddenly woke up from his troubles, and hurriedly got out of bed and opened the door for his father.

My father was cold, he didn't rest all night, and the fatigue of the day made a man in his forties and fifties look unkempt and haggard.

My father was in poor health, and in the past two days, I was worried about my sister Shi Huilan's condition, and Shi Huaiyu found that his father was indeed much older.

The father did not sit down, but stood in front of Shi Huaiyu, carefully handed a small bag in his hand to Shi Huaiyu, and said in a muffled voice: "I heard that when your grandfather was leaving, he called your name, and then asked someone to take this thing from the beam of the house and give it to you." ”

Shi Huaiyu took it, and felt that this oil paper was wrapped in layers, and there was not much in it.

Shi Huaiyu stood in front of his father, looked at his father calmly, and asked puzzledly, "What is this?" ”

Shi Huaiyu's father shook his head and said in a wooden voice: "I don't know." Cub, are you going back today? When you go back, kowtow to your grandfather, he likes you since he was a child, and he can't forget you when he leaves. ”

Shi Huaiyu's father said very sadly, and Shi Huaiyu nodded heavily.

Shi Huaiyu really needs to hurry back to Luochuan City today, her sister Shi Huilan has been undergoing chemotherapy for four days, and in these four days, what is her physical condition, Shi Huaiyu can't rest assured.

Besides, this trip back is mainly to find a blood type that can be matched for my sister Shi Huilan, and now, almost all of her close relatives have taken blood, and these blood needs to be tested immediately, and it can't be kept in the freezer of the commissary for a long time.

Shi Huaiyu said to his father: "Dad, I'll go and kowtow to my grandfather, and then, go back early in the morning, my sister needs me now." ”

Shi Huaiyu's father hummed, then turned around and left lonely, and did not forget to gently close the door for Shi Huaiyu when he left.

The father's back was slumped, and when he looked from behind, his father's figure looked old.

Shi Huaiyu's heart was desolate.

Shi Huaiyu opened the small bag in his hand and found that it was a yellowed sheepskin, and many strange lines were drawn on this sheepskin, which were messy and felt disorganized.

Shi Huaiyu didn't study these things now, so he took a picture with his mobile phone, and after that, he still folded the small bag and stuffed it into a utility cabinet under the kang.

After that, after getting dressed, I walked out of the house, and saw my father waiting for me in the yard, and my mother also got up, she stood next to her father and looked at Shi Huaiyu.

Shi Huaiyu hurriedly washed his face with cold water, cut his hair, and turned around to see that the lights in Zhuo Yaxuan and Bai Ruoqiu's room were not lit yet, and there was no movement, so he walked up to his father and mother, and whispered: "I'll go and kowtow to the grandfather and come back." ”

The father and mother nodded heavily, and didn't say anything, but the look in their eyes was very gratifying, and they were glad that their children could have this filial piety, which was enough for them to walk with their heads raised in the village.

Shi Huaiyu walked all the way towards the grandfather's house, and when he went out, he also took a handful of incense from the house, as well as some yellow paper and paper money that his mother had already prepared.

At this time, there were already people on the streets of the village, some of them went to the ground, and some of them also went to worship the master.

Shi Huaiyu walked with them.

When I arrived at the grandfather's house, several of the grandfather's children, as well as many grandchildren, had already set up a spiritual shed, and overnight, the longevity materials were ready.

Among them, the housekeeper in charge of the wedding and funeral affairs in a village said to everyone who came to worship the grandfather, don't cry after entering the funeral shed, the grandfather is a happy funeral.

For this small mountain village, it is not a bad thing for the grandfather to be able to die at the age of ninety, and he did not suffer any sins before he died.

Shi Huaiyu nodded, walked to the spirit shed, and bowed to the master nine times according to the rules of some stewards, and after that, put on incense and burned paper.

Shi Huaiyu knelt and looked at the grandfather who had not yet been buried, and felt that the grandfather did leave with a smile when he left, so he couldn't help but sigh, the grandfather has experienced the old society, lived in the new society, in his life, he has encountered many things, and he has seen many people, in this village, it is almost a living dictionary, what kind of person, what kind of thing, he almost knows it.

Shi Huaiyu should know by now that the grandfather has always loved himself, he must know his life experience, and he must have seen the Taoist priest wandering in this area.

Shi Huaiyu's father said that when a Taoist priest traveled to this village, he entrusted Shi Huaiyu in infancy to the Shi family, and asked the Shi family to name the child with the surname of the Shi family.

For the Shi family, who was worried about giving birth to a daughter, and the frail and sickly mother did not dare to give birth again, this was no less than a great good thing.

So, the Shi family accepted Shi Huaiyu, and regarded it as their own and took great care of Shi Huaiyu.

The old people in the village should know about this matter, but they think that since Shi Huaiyu has taken the surname of the Shi family, then he is a member of the Shi family, and the so-called fact that he brought it does not matter.

This is the simple emotion, everything is not tied by blood relationship, but the emotion is the standard for doing things.

Shi Huaiyu looked at the grandfather for a while, and then the steward asked Shi Huaiyu to hurry up, saying that a younger generation like Shi Huaiyu could come to bid farewell to the grandfather, and the grandfather should be happy.

Shi Huaiyu stood up, glanced at the body of the master, and explained to everyone around him that he needed to rush to Luochuan City as soon as possible to take care of his sister Shi Huilan, and when the funeral came, he could no longer kowtow to the master.

Everyone also understood, so they urged Shi Huaiyu to go back and pack up quickly.

Shi Huaiyu walked out of the grandfather's house, and saw that it was still very early, so he felt that when he was leaving, it was necessary to go to the fish pond to take a look again, no matter what the fish pond had become now, or if there were any more surprising things in the fish pond, he had to take another look, so that he felt at ease.

So, Shi Huaiyu walked towards the fish pond.

Walking to the edge of the fish pond, Shi Huaiyu saw from a distance that Zhuo Yaxuan also happened to walk to the edge of the fish pond, and stood in front of the stone slab where he often sits.

Shi Huaiyu immediately stepped forward, frowned slightly, and asked quietly, "You came alone?" ”

Zhuo Yaxuan jumped on the stone slab at this time, glanced around, and asked rhetorically: "Yes, Sister Bai hasn't slept all night, and now I just fell asleep, I just came out, do you think someone will come here with me?" ”

Zhuo Yaxuan didn't ask Shi Huaiyu why he came here at this time, as if Shi Huaiyu should come here at this time, in her expectation.

"No, that's not what I meant, I mean, how did you get here?" Shi Huaiyu was surprised why Zhuo Yaxuan had been wandering around the fish pond.

Zhuo Yaxuan smiled, looked at the white sky in the distance with a smile, and said, "This is your fish pond, can't I come?" Look at your relaxed eyes, did you not sleep well like Sister Bai last night? ”

Shi Huaiyu nodded, and the moment he nodded, his chest was touched, and he couldn't help frowning in pain.

Seeing this, Zhuo Yaxuan asked, "Were you seriously injured yesterday?" ”

Before Shi Huaiyu could answer, Zhuo Yaxuan stood on the stone slab and condescendingly reached out to grab Shi Huaiyu's pulse.

This is Zhuo Yaxuan's habit.

Shi Huaiyu didn't dodge either, and let Zhuo Yaxuan catch his pulse safely.

However, at this moment, Shi Huaiyu suddenly felt that the pain in his chest that had accumulated for nearly half a month was gradually disappearing, as if a flood had been opened up a gap, and it was quickly flowing in all directions.

Shi Huaiyu's heart was shocked: What's going on?
