The five hundred yuan that Xiao Xuan gave me, I didn't send it to the blind old man for the time being.

The main thing is to go to that urban village, which is too far away and has to drive for more than an hour.

In addition, I am a little busy at work and have a lot of things to deal with, so I plan to finish these two days and send it to the blind old man, and by the way, I will send him some food and drink.

But I really didn't expect that life and death sometimes come so suddenly that people are caught off guard.

Two days later, when I went with Song Xiaotian and Meng Yifan to visit the blind old man, he had already passed away.

He died at home, lying peacefully on the bed with his hands flat on his lower abdomen.

But because the temperature was so high, his body was already stinking.

We called the funeral home, dealt with his funeral briefly, enshrined his ashes in the columbarium, and bought him an urn that was neither good nor bad.

After taking care of his funeral, we went back to his house to clean up for him.

We found a suicide note at the bedside.

The suicide note is not much, but it shocks us.

It turned out that when the blind old man was celebrating the New Year this year, that is, the night he met Mouse and Xiao Xuan, he didn't actually go to pick up garbage, he was going to throw himself into the river.

We look back at the life of the blind old man, and perhaps two-thirds of his life was a tragedy, and the first third was actually a person with a bright future.

At that time, the college students had a high gold content, and they were the only college students in the village, and they went to a good university.

The old man's life was supposed to have a bright future, but it was ruined by a fire, and the person who destroyed him was his father.

Since then, he actually has no desire to live, it is his mother who has always encouraged him, his mother wants him to live, and he has survived strongly in order not to make his mother sad.

In his life, he did not marry a wife or have children, so he depended on his mother, and since his mother's death, he may have been accustomed to such a life.

But after all, man is a social animal, and the old man's face is ruined and his appearance is terrifying, so that no one wants to be friends with him, and even the neighbors avoid him.

Add to that the fact that he is blind and unable to see, so his life is boring, to put it cruelly, his life is even meaningless.

After his mother's death, every day he lived, he faced disgust, loneliness, indifference, and even inner torment.

On the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve this year, when the family was reunited, this kind of torment was too much for him to bear, so he chose to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river, preparing to end his life.

Unexpectedly, on the way to commit suicide, he met Mouse and Xiao Xuan.

It was such a coincidence that he saved Xiao Xuan and took in the two brothers, and these two brothers prevented him from committing suicide.

Three unfortunate people, fate is linked together, this may be the luck in misfortune, maybe God also knows that he is too unfair, so that the three unfortunate people feel the warmth again.

But good luck is always short-lived, and the mouse was unfortunately killed by Wang Guofu.

Xiao Xuan also went to the welfare home.

The old man went back to his old life, if he had never seen the sun, he might have been able to endure the darkness, but he had seen the sun, and he could not bear the darkness at all, and when the sun faded, the darkness in his heart had broken him.

When we saw the suicide note, we thought that the old man had committed suicide, but strangely, we found no signs of poisoning on his body, no external injuries, and no autopsy, so we didn't know how he died.

Later, I asked the seventh master, and the seventh master said that the old man's original lifespan was on the day of his death.

He didn't arrive that day, so when he went to commit suicide, he met the mouse and Xiao Xuan, and the fate didn't let him die.

And the death of the mouse, coupled with Xiao Xuan's departure, crushed the old man's will, he had no will to live at all, and on the day when his life was over, he naturally died, that is, he died at the end of his life.

But whether it is the number of lives that affects the old man's will to die, or the old man's will to die that affects the number of lives, the seventh master can't explain it.

Just like some old people, before they pass away, they can clearly know when they will die, so they will explain the aftermath in advance.

There are some things that can't be explained, even the Seventh Master can't explain clearly.

In short, the old man passed away.

In the suicide note, he left my mobile phone number, probably hoping that after his body decomposed, someone would call me and ask me to help him collect it.

In his suicide note, he apologized to us and said that he had caused us trouble.

He left 20,000 yuan in the drawer, which was all his savings, he asked us to take 5,000, after all, it troubled us, and the remaining 15,000, he asked us to transfer it to Xiao Xuan, and he also told us that his death could be hidden from Xiao Xuan for as long as he could, and not to tell Xiao Xuan now.

We took the 20,000 yuan, plus the 500 that Xiao Xuan gave me, and I stored it on a separate card.

We can't touch all the money, we have to give it all to Xiao Xuan, but Xiao Xuan is still a child, he doesn't have his own bank card, I plan to wait until he is twelve or thirteen years old, and then give him this card.

As for the old man's death, he naturally can't be told now.

He had just left the old man and gone to a strange environment, and it was too cruel for him to tell him about the old man's death now.

This incident caused a great shock to my heart.

In the past, I always saw the words human suffering, but now I see the real human suffering.

In fact, in that urban village, human suffering can be seen everywhere, including the child who showed us the way, the homeless people who robbed Xiaoxuan's things, and even the homeless man who was drowned in the river by a mouse.

Everyone seems to be a part of the suffering of the world.

The night I took care of the old man's funeral, I had a dream.

In my dream, I saw the young man who told fortunes again.

I don't know who he is, or why he keeps appearing in my dreams.

But this time, he turned around and made eye contact with me.

I stared at the face in amazement, and went through all the people I had met, still unable to remember where I had seen the young man.

Looking at his dress, he is very plain, but also very outdated, and he doesn't seem to be from our time.

I wondered why he kept appearing in my dreams, and I wondered if he was somewhere wronged and came to me to do something.

After a long hesitation, I asked for his identity.

He looked at me and smiled slightly: "My surname is Tang, and my name is Tang Chai." ”

Tang Chai......

Such a familiar name.

I was shocked, and suddenly remembered that the author of the Six Lines of Mysteries had mentioned the name of his mentor in the book, and his name was Tang Chai!

So this young man is...... The founder of the six mysteries!

My grandfather!
