C2 (2/2)
In the afternoon, the scorching sun was still like fire when it suddenly appeared again.
The sky was suddenly covered in dark clouds, and the blazing sun was covered by dark clouds. Thunder rumbled, lightning snakes soared into the clouds, and heavy rain anticipated by the villagers was not about to fall.
”What the hell is going on with this damn weather?”
”It can't be like yesterday, right?”
The weather was hot. No one dared to go out to work. Some people slept, while others worried.
The sudden sound of thunder woke up the sleeping villagers.
When those who were sleeping woke up, those who were not, stood up and left the room. They raised their heads to look at the sky and were very curious.
”That's not right, something happened to your Feng family!”
”Quick, everyone come with me to his house!”
Yesterday, the sky suddenly changed. Everyone thought that it was a natural phenomenon, but today, it was even better than yesterday.
The sky was overcast with dark clouds, strong gales, and torrential rain. Other than the previous year, which he had seen once, such a strange weather had never happened before.
Some people say that the heavens only thunder does not rain, it must be the gods punish those who are extremely vicious, or those who do not filial piety.
If something like this were to happen elsewhere, the village chief would probably think so too.
However, there was only one thing that happened in their village.
Child bestowal. Needless to say, it was definitely a gift from the heavens. It was smart, kind, and helpful. It was something that the villagers liked, and they liked to call it child bestowing.
No matter if what the Village Head said was true, all the villagers would follow him to the Heavenly Jewel Master's house.
In the afternoon, Grandmother did not sleep, so Tian Ci had to stay by her grandmother's bed and ask around, waiting to serve her.
The old man was most afraid of loneliness. He always accompanied his grandmother and told her stories.
As they chatted, the old woman stared at her grandson, as if she wanted to remember him forever. Suddenly, a white figure appeared behind her grandson and stared at her …
”Zhi'er, is your grandpa here to pick me up?”
How could it be possible for her grandfather to come?
”Grandmother …”
He was old, his eyes were weak, and his vision was blurry. He could not see clearly.
As for whether there were people there or not, it was still clear that there were. There were clearly no people, but they could see that it was not an old feeling of dizziness, but an illusion.
An illusion?
The old woman didn't believe that it was an illusion and believed even more that her husband had come.
”You're here. Are you bringing me away?”
Hearing his grandmother's words, Zhang Tie felt a chill run down his spine. He followed her gaze and turned around, only to find that there was nothing behind him.
”Grandma, don't scare me!”
He used to hear stories about ghosts and gods from his aunts and uncles, and Heaven's Gift was scared, even if it was his own grandfather.
That fear was not fear for his grandfather, but fear for the ghosts and gods.
At the same time, hearing his grandmother's words, he was even more afraid that his grandmother would leave him.
”Zhi'er, your grandpa is here. I'm leaving now. I can finally reunite with your grandpa!”
A year ago, when my grandfather died, my grandmother wanted to go with him.
At that time, he was only two years old, and living alone was difficult. For him, his grandmother's time had not come, so she stayed with him for an additional year.
Now that he was able to take care of himself and his grandmother's time was up, he should not be so selfish. He should fulfill his grandmother's wish and not wish for her to stay.
However, his grandmother really did leave, he grabbed her skinny hand, still unwilling to part with it.
”Wuuu …”
”Grandma, don't go. I beg you, don't leave me …”
He looked at his grandson pleading with him. Initially, he wanted to console him, but to his surprise, he found it difficult to breathe. He was about to lose the strength to even speak.
”I, I'm leaving, I'm leaving. You must, must, must, live, live, good, take good care of yourself, remember, remember, I, I, yesterday, yesterday, give, give, say, say …”
The old woman could only say one last sentence as she struggled with all her might.
Before she died, she secretly rejoiced that she had passed her last words to her grandson one day in advance.
With that last sentence, she closed her mouth and stopped breathing. Her eyes lost their luster, and her wrinkled face lost its color.
If one looked carefully at his grandmother, he would find that the smile on her face was still frozen.
That smile was the joy of being reunited with her husband. That smile was the smile of having a son, not having any regrets. That smile was her love for her grandson. That smile was her blessing for her grandson.
Her time was up, and she was powerless to reverse the situation. No matter how much Heaven's blessing begged, the old woman still left.
Grandmother left peacefully, God's blessing lay on her body, crying like a mess.
”My son, what happened?”
Thunder continued to clap in the sky, dark clouds covered the sky, lightning struck the ground, and a terrifying scene like this occurred. The gate of Tian Ci's house was closed, and one could still hear the faint sound of crying coming from inside.
Worried that something might happen to Tian Ci and the old woman, the Village Head broke into the house with the villagers.
”Milk, Grandma, let's go …”
Hearing the noise coming from outside the house, Tian Ci turned around just in time to see the village chief's uncle bringing his uncle and aunt into the house. They were crying as they told the news of their grandmother's death.
The old woman lying on the bed had no color on her face. Her eyes and mouth were closed.
