The person's expression was anxious and his movements were flustered. The moment he opened his mouth, he immediately said that something had happened to his grandfather. How could I not be anxious?

"It's at the county hospital. When we came, we called an ambulance. It should be on the way to the county hospital."

When I heard this, I became even more anxious. Why did I have to use an ambulance? For a moment, I was so anxious that I jumped up and down. I pulled this person to get him to bring me there quickly.

I followed him onto a three-wheeled motorcycle, and under the continuous deafening noise of the motor, we rushed towards the county. However, halfway through the journey, the person received a call, and his face immediately changed, causing the three-wheeled motorcycle to change its direction. Then, with a dejected look, he said: "Ma Que, someone from the county hospital came."

"What do you mean?" My heart thumped, but I still had the illusion, so I confirmed it again.

"Ma Que, I'm sorry." He did not say anymore as he lowered his head.

I understood what he meant by 'I'm sorry'. My nose immediately turned sour, and tears started streaming down my face. My mind was muddled, and from time to time, the image of my grandfather blowing his beard and glaring eyes appeared on my mind. He is the only family in this world.

In that instant, I felt the sky go dark and the earth turn dark. I felt that I was the only person left in this world, alone, helpless, lost, and filled with countless emotions intertwined in my heart, staring blankly at the retreating image. I really hoped that time would reverse until my grandfather was still alive, then I would definitely not let him go out no matter what.

"What happened to grandpa?" my hoarse voice asked.

"The Master Ma finished his business, and just as he stepped out of the door, he was hit by a car whose brakes failed. When we catch up, he'll … He couldn't continue anymore. The man's voice was very low and hoarse. He added, "My mother died in a car accident!"

"Did you catch the driver?"

"Yes, but …"

"But what?" I didn't wait for him to finish and interrupted him. The moment I heard the words' car accident ', my eyebrows jumped and my heart became extremely angry. I wanted to give him a good beating for the hit-and-run driver and make him pay for it to my grandpa.

"However, the car with the malfunctioning brakes eventually crashed into a wall, and the driver... "It's also gone."

"F * ck!"

I cursed bitterly. This result made me feel elated but at the same time, helpless. I felt powerless and pressured to the extreme.

The road that wasn't too far away made me feel like I was separated for a lifetime, and after finally arriving there, I could see from afar that it was filled with people, and they seemed to be pointing at me. I squeezed into the crowd under their lead, and what entered my eyes was a large pool of blood.

"Grandpa!" I couldn't stop myself from shouting and running towards my grandfather, who was lying on the ground with a skinny body and a bloodied body.

However, at this time, Grandpa neither blew his beard nor glared at him. He didn't reply to them softly, but just laid there motionlessly on the dusty ground.

My eyes gradually became blurry, and in the entire world, only the scene of my grandfather's tragic death remained. I gently tidied up his clothes that had been rolled up by the wheel, and quietly knelt at the side, then suddenly raised my head and roared. Looking at those people who had different expressions on their faces and were pointing their fingers at my grandfather, I was exceptionally furious.

Thus, I shouted, "What are you all looking at? Scram!"

"Comrade, I'm from the county funeral parlor. Do you want to invite your grandfather's body directly to the funeral parlor or to go home? After all, it's not good to leave it here like this." A driver walked over and whispered to me.

I came back to my senses, nodded, and said in a low voice, "I want to bring my grandfather home!"

"Alright, then please step aside." He gently helped me to move to the side, and I followed his order woodenly. I felt like I had lost all my thoughts as I watched the few of them wrap my grandfather in a piece of plastic cloth and put him into the ice coffin.

The hearse soon arrived at my house. The door was wide open, and before I could get out of the car, I saw that the front of the house was surrounded by people. Under the arrangements of the funeral home staff, my grandfather's body was parked in the middle of the hall.

"Ma Que, you must grieve for me." The Uncle Chen next door walked over and comforted me in a low voice. He had a good relationship with my grandfather, since my grandfather liked to visit him when he was still alive.

I weakly nodded my head. How could I mourn this?

"Oh, right. Your grandfather left this for you." Uncle Chen took out an envelope and passed it to me.

I immediately recovered my wits and asked him, "When did my grandfather give it to you?"

"This morning", Uncle Chen did not say much, he only sighed lightly, and said: "Make a good coffin for this old man!"

I held the envelope in a daze. For a moment, I was in a daze. I was at home when my grandfather left this morning. Why did he leave such a letter for me?

However, now is not the time to think about this. After the Uncle Chen mentioned me, I remembered that the earth burial is still popular here. Coffins are the most important thing after people leave.

Thinking about this, I immediately asked Uncle Liu to help me contact him. Moreover, because I don't understand these things, I hoped that he would be able to help me.

Uncle Liu lightly nodded, then said: "Alright, consider it as me giving my last bit of heart to the old man."

Very quickly, under Uncle Liu's instructions, a coffin was brought in, and then the coffin was used to clean Grandfather's body and change his clothes.

Originally, logically speaking, these matters should've been given money, but these people all said that the lordmaster had taken good care of them when they were alive and hadn't accepted any money. They'd even offered to stay and help.

Looking at these warm-hearted people, I was very touched. I also knew that now was not the time to be sad, sending my grandfather away was the most important moment.

Thus, under the guidance of a knowledgeable person, I set up a mourning hall for my grandfather and invited some Taoists and so on.

After a while of busying myself, I felt that my entire body was empty. Only then did I remember the letter that grandfather had left for me. Thus, I took some time to open it and read it.

However, I only saw a few lines of tears can no longer hold back, rustling down, shocked and sad.

The letter from my grandfather to me was only a few sentences, but it made my heart feel as if it had been stabbed by a knife.

"Missing son, after parting today, the two of us shall be separated by life and death, and we shall never meet again." From today onwards, you will be by yourself, which is also the matter that Grandpa is most reluctant to part with. But you must remember, the clan of Ma will not let you die, I hope that you will remember this, and that you will not forget about our bet. "

In addition, Grandfather repeatedly told me to take care of myself. He also told me that it was a pity that I couldn't see Wife Sun. Before I finished reading the letter, tears had already soaked the letter and my eyes had already become completely blurry.

However, what puzzled me the most was that my grandfather had repeatedly emphasized in his letter that his funeral had to be taken from Jane, and he would be buried at home!

I was greatly surprised. How did my grandfather's letter know that something would happen to me today?

I didn't know what to do, so I called Uncle Chen over. I asked him what to do, but after the latter heard this, he let out a long sigh and said, "The dead are the biggest, let's do as the elders say!"

I gritted my teeth and nodded. Under Zhang Luo from Uncle Chen, I buried Grandfather and my parents together, and after that, I returned home, the entire mourning hall was already empty. I sat in the front hall powerlessly, looking around at the familiar surroundings, hoping Grandfather would come out and scold me!

I sat there as if I had lost my soul. From dusk to night, from dark to late at night, I waited for the person who could never come back.

Uncle Chen walked over at an unknown time, sighed, and patted my shoulder. After comforting me with good words, I slowly got up, closed the door in a daze, and walked back to my grandfather's room.

However, the moment he entered his grandfather's room, he was immediately shocked. The anger in his chest could no longer be suppressed, and his eyes instantly turned red.

His grandfather's room was in a mess. His clothes and blankets were thrown to the floor and his grandfather's most precious wooden chest was opened wide. The wolf hair, copper bowl, and other items had all disappeared without a trace.

I almost felt like killing someone.

On the day of his grandfather's death, there was actually a thief at home, and he even made his grandfather's room look like this?
