C106 (2/2)

Hearing this, I was even more furious. I haven't even seen her before, what kind of feelings can I possibly have? How could he not close his eyes!

Also, I know that the old man from Old Bull Village that my mother spoke of died of a serious illness a few years ago. I have always resented this old man.

Because this old man is always muttering to himself, he is a dishonest old man that is famous in the surrounding villages. One can imagine the character of a person who has a bad reputation in several villages, but his relationship with my grandfather and father is not bad …

I know he has a granddaughter, but I've only heard the family mention it. I've never seen the old man, let alone his granddaughter.

As for my grandfather, he passed away a long time ago.

The two old men from back then are already dead. Why should we, the younger generation, abide by their agreement?

Right now, at the crucial moment of my life, I should be honest and go to school instead of going back and suffering.

Seeing my resolute attitude, the mother on the other end of the phone started crying:

”This girl died because of you. No matter what, you have to come back and see.”

You don't know this girl, but this girl is very fond of you.

If you don't come back, won't you be too heartless?

I was only five years old when my grandfather was in trouble, so I don't have much of an impression of him.

My father had always been busy with matters of the village. My mother was a rural woman, yet she wanted me to go to university. I understood how difficult these years had been.

So the last thing I want to see is my mother crying... At that time, my determined heart immediately softened. It would have been great if I could go back and take a look … Just treat it as looking at your mother …

Furthermore … What does it mean to die because of me?

I thought it was weird, I couldn't explain it over the phone, and I wanted to go home and find out what was going on.

Another point revealed from his mother's words, that the girl's family sent the half-dead girl to my house. If I don't come back, they won't leave!

That's why I heard the sobs on the phone.

Being single for almost twenty years, suddenly having a wife, and also saying that she was deeply in love with me, logically speaking, I should be happy.

Unfortunately, this feeling of being arranged by someone, and how this girl appeared in my world, made me unable to be happy.

I took the bus straight home. At that time, the road was very remote, much more remote than it is now. The mountain road was rugged, and it would take me four hours to get there even by car.

He got out of the car and ran home. My house was at the entrance to the village.

At this moment, there were flowers and things laid out at the entrance of my house. At the entrance of my house, there were two brightly colored paper men.

It was already 7 in the afternoon and the sky had long since darkened. Although it was summer, the time was not hot and emitted waves of chilliness.

I frowned at the two paper men on my doorstep.

Based on what my mother said on the phone, this girl shouldn't be dead yet. What is the purpose of this family? Why did they put all these wreaths in front of my house?

I opened the door and went in. In my memory, my home had never been so lively before.

There were a lot of people waiting outside. Some were sobbing, some were looking around.

His mother seemed to be trying to comfort everyone by saying something in the crowd.

Seeing me come back, my mother rushed forward and grabbed me.

”You're finally back!” Why are you so slow! ”

As I said that, I pulled me into the house. The courtyard was bustling with noise and excitement, but there wasn't a single person in the house. Even my mother walked out hastily after sending me into the house.

Everyone's eyes were focused on me, but no one took a step forward.

I took a deep breath. The people in the courtyard were from our village, as well as some unfamiliar faces. They were probably the girl's relatives.

What did that mean? Why didn't these people come in?

Maybe it was because there was no one in the house, but it gave me a cold feeling. It was clearly a familiar home, but it gave me a strange feeling.
