"Grandma!" Sundial Che sat on the side of his grandmother's bed, and put down the shoulder bag with only a graduation certificate in it: "How do you feel today?" ”

Sundial has always thought that her grandmother is a mixed race, because she has two apple-green eyes, and even when she is old, her eyes are not cloudy and unclear, and they continue to be bright and moving. She exudes a full of dignified etiquette between her speech and demeanor, and she is a very elegant old woman who is also a well-known teacher of beauty and etiquette, and she is also the only relative who single-handedly pulled her up and depended on each other.

Mercury sat down next to Sundial and greeted, "Good afternoon, Grandma Tennoji." ”

Grandma has been hospitalized for 1 week because of her old age and many heart problems, and she only had surgery yesterday.

"Yo, you're here~" Grandma is sitting on the bed, hanging drips in her hands, wearing reading glasses, holding embroidery tools in her hands, and focusing on embroidering words.

There is a mutton fat white jade ring on the right thumb of the grandmother of Tiannoji Temple, the color is white and clear, warm and flawless, and the sundial has never seen her take it down.

"Grandma, have you had lunch?" Sundial asked.

Grandma put down her work and looked at them lovingly, "Good grandson, of course grandma has had lunch...... her eyes moved from Sundial to Mercury: "Little Mercury, you grew up with Sundial, but don't fall in love with my good grandson...... Falling in love with her, it's very hard~ looks quite standard, how can I not bear to understand the mood like a wood. ”

Sundial Che held his forehead and was speechless: "Grandma, what did you say all of a sudden......"

Mercury laughed and said, "Grandma Tennoji, it's too late!" I'll always love Sundial and take care of her! ”

"......" Sundial rolled her eyes, not wanting to be part of the chaos.

At this time, Mercury's phone rang, and he nodded to his grandparents and hurried to answer it. Sundial guessed it was Kane calling.

"Sundial," Grandma looked at her with sparkling eyes, "Grandma has something to explain to you." ”

After speaking, he mysteriously took out a stack of about 3 unknown tickets from the quilt and quickly stuffed them into Sundial Che's hand: "This...... Put it away. Remember, the small temple on Liulin Street ran around three times, two sticks of incense and silently said 'please help me open the door' three times, and inserted the incense under the banyan tree behind the temple...... That way, someone will come and collect a ticket and help you open the door. ”

Sundial said with flat eyes: "...... Grandma, are you watching too much TV again? ”

She held the yellow-colored ticket roll in her hand, which felt like paper but not as thin and brittle as paper.

"And this ......" Grandma took off the ring on her thumb and gently handed it to Sundial, "This... Help me bring it to your grandfather, and he'll know. ”

At this time, Sundial Che's heart was a little cold, and he hurriedly said: "Grandma, if you know where grandpa is, I can take you to him?" ......She wanted to give the ring back to her grandmother, but she folded her hands and shook her head.

"Sundial, listen up." Grandma's voice was loving but serious: "Grandma will die soon, and her life is coming to an end, so there are some things that must be told to you quickly." ”

Grandma gently shook Sundial Che's hand back: "You, since you were a child, you have often dreamed of a big mansion, which is your original home." ”

"What...?" Sundial couldn't understand why she suddenly talked about her dream.

"You don't belong to this plane, you and I are." Grandma said, leaning back a little: "Grandma, I don't know how many years have passed over there." You remember that you were born on the 13th day of the snake month in the year 480 of the Dugu calendar. At the other end of the door, there is a sister who is 2 years older than you...... "Grandma shook her hand and handed the embroidery to Sundial Che's hand: "This is... Her name ......"

"Grandma, are you feeling unwell? I'll call a doctor right away! Sundial stood up to ring the call bell, but was stopped by her grandmother by squeezing her hand hard.

"Sundial, as long as it is life, there is an end, but grandma's time limit comes first. Sundial should remember her grandmother's last words...... There's no time..."Grandma gasped for breath: "Go to the other end of the door, don't mention your surname Tennoji...... Find your sister or grandfather...... You're grown up, it's time to go home. Grandma is reluctant... Let you live here alone...... But if you want to continue living here, that's fine...... In so many planes, there must be a place for you......"

"Grandma......" Sundial stood up and pressed the call bell hard.

Grandma's face turned pale, she held Sundial's hand tighter, and gasped: "If you see your grandfather......... Tell him ......" Grandma held back her last breath: "In the next life... Again when... Couple ......"

After speaking, grandma held Sundial Che's hand and suddenly lost her strength.

"Grandma!" Sundial Che's shouting made Mercury outside the door immediately hang up the phone and rush in, Sundial Che held Grandma's hand tightly, leaned against his face, looked at Grandma's forever closed eyes, her heart felt slightly tightened, other than that, there was no sadness, no tears: "Grandma......"

For the first time, Sundial felt like a monster, she knew she couldn't be sad, she couldn't feel nothing, her chest was so swollen that she couldn't breathe, but she couldn't feel any emotion.

The doctor reminded me that considering the grandmother's advanced age of 77, heart surgery is very risky, but the grandmother, who is always facing the challenges brought by life, insists on surgery. Although she knew that her grandmother would leave her sooner or later, it was still too sudden for Sundial Che.

Seeing this, Mercury was surprised, but he could only hug his eyes and look at his grandmother's sundial.

In his hand, he holds a ticket scroll and a handkerchief embroidered with the five characters "Tennoji Fengche".

The apartment where I had been living with my grandmother was now much empty. Sundial Che sat alone on the edge of the bed in his grandmother's room, imprinting every object and decoration in his mind, and his ears kept echoing her grandmother's words before leaving.

'You don't belong in this world, you and I are. ’

'You also have a sister who is two years older than you......

Sundial lowered his head and sighed, burying his face in his hands: "Grandma, how do you want me to believe these ......"

It's been 3 weeks since my grandmother's funeral, and several large companies have called to notify them of interviews, and several small and medium-sized companies that are not bad have notified them of their admissions. This is not far from what Sundial originally envisioned, but after the loss of his grandmother, the news that should have made the soul a little excited, now it can't provoke a heavy sense of misanthropy.

Sundial knew that she should move forward, knew that there was still life to live, and knew that there were more unknowns waiting for her to explore, but at the age of 38, she ushered in an incomparably strong tide of stranding.

Sundial looked out the window in a daze for a while, then finally got up and grabbed the car keys and went out without looking back.

The small temple on Liulin Street is a country road, and there are no people and cars passing by here except for farmers.

The small temple is made of cement mixed with red clay in a square shape, like a child's dollhouse, which is dedicated to the land lord. There is a small incense burner in front of the statue, a handful of incense sticks are hung on the side of the cement wall, which is convenient for passers-by to burn incense and worship, and there is a big banyan tree surrounded by 4 people behind the small temple, and the intertwined roots and thick branches indicate that it has existed here for a considerable time.

When Sundial Che reacted, she was already standing in front of the small temple, staring at the land princess, and she sighed loudly: "Fuck, I still came......"

"Finding My Sister'......"

Grandma's earnest voice kept appearing in her head, although what grandma asked for was ridiculous, but she couldn't turn a deaf ear and didn't take action, and she always had a pimple in her heart.

I'm here now, just to fulfill my grandmother's last words, and let my grandmother wish.

Family.

She had no idea that the term could cause a violent ripple in her heart.

"What grandma confessed before she died, just do it."

According to her grandmother's instructions, she lit two sticks of incense and ran around the small temple 3 times, because the temple was very small, she almost circled in place.

"Please open the door for me, please open the door for me, please open the door for me......" Sundial closed his eyes, looked at shame as nothing, and finished the shut.

Finally, the incense sticks are taken to the back of the small temple and inserted into the wet soil under the banyan tree, and Sundial Che clasps his hands together, closes his eyes, and waits quietly for the door to be opened.

10 seconds......

30 seconds......

1 minute ......

The quiet country road, the continuous drizzle continued to fall, the sunset had clocked out of work, and the sky was darker in an instant, but ...... Nothing happened, except for the enthusiastic farmer Abel, who rang her bell and greeted her on his bicycle, and the cool evening breeze that mocked her ignorance and ruffled her long black hair, which naturally poured down, and ran away.

Sundial couldn't help but laugh at his actions: "Stupid...... It's a waste that I'm still a scientist, and I actually believe in this ......" She recklessly pulled her long hair back, clasped her hands on her chest and said, "Okay, grandma, I'll do it, there's really nothing." ”
