C19 (1/2)

In that instant, my jaw dropped in shock.

That's right.

Daoist Priest Li was completely right.

Regarding the matter of his second uncle's death, it had only happened in the past few days, and his grandmother hadn't informed his father about this matter at all.

Thus, it seemed that his father's return was rather strange.

Did he just happen to come back?

But how could there be so many coincidences in this world?

And, thinking about it, I thought back to the time when he had come back.

It was as if he hadn't said anything when he returned, hadn't asked anything. He had obviously known beforehand about his second uncle's death.

After analyzing it this way, I feel that the words of Great Immortal Li in front of me seem to make more sense.

”I believe you are not a fool. You should know better than I do what is going on here. Your grandmother did not inform your father to come back, but he did. Is the problem not worth investigating?” Great Immortal Li immediately said.

I nodded.

The more he thought about it, the more convinced he became that what Immortal Li said was correct.

But how could I trust him, an outsider, not my father?

Then, with the last of my strength, I said, ”How do you know that my grandmother didn't inform my father?”

Great Immortal Li didn't seem to care about this. ”In the entire village, even the wealthiest village chief doesn't have a phone. How did your father know?”

At the same time.

It also occurred to me that my father worked hundreds of kilometers away.

It was indeed very difficult for him to know about Second Uncle's death.

If it happened to be a return, it was impossible.

So, with his sudden return, coupled with his return, he could tell from his nonchalant attitude that there was something wrong with his father at that time.

Thinking of this, I started to panic even more.

At this time.

Seeing that I had basically believed his words,

Great Immortal Li continued, ”You might not believe me, but I'm an outsider after all. If that's the case, you can ask your grandmother and see what she says. If you guys solve your family's problems, then I'm an outsider, so it won't be convenient to say anything more.”

At this moment, my head is in a daze.

When he returned, it was already past six.

By this time, Grandma had already gotten up.

She was cleaning the yard when I got back.

I took the tools and began to scan them.

Grandma supported her sore waist and asked me, puzzled, ”Little boy, did you just come back?”

I started.

It was only then that I remembered. Grandma probably thought that I had just returned from my trip with Father yesterday.

I hastily replied, ”No, I returned not long after I left last night. I just woke up early and went out for a walk.”

Hearing this, Grandma gave an 'oh' before her eyes filled with worry, ”You haven't had a good rest these past few days. At noon, you should go back to sleep. If you continue like this, you won't be able to do anything.”

I nodded to show I knew.

After cleaning up, I helped Grandma cook again.

It wasn't until seven o'clock, when the meal was ready, that Dad came back.

The two of us sat at the dining table. I was getting bored from waiting, so I asked my grandmother, ”Grandmother, I have a question for you.”

Seeing that I looked like I wanted to say something, but I hesitated.

Grandma patted my head and said smilingly, ”If there's a problem, you can ask. If Grandma knows, she'll definitely tell the little guy.”

I thought for a moment and said, ”Did you tell Father about the news of Second Uncle's death?”

When I asked this question, I was still a little hesitant.

After all, Grandmother's in trouble and I don't want her to get involved in this.

But now this question, only Grandma can answer me.

When I asked.

Grandma said in confusion, ”No, I didn't tell your father. What's wrong? ”Why did you suddenly think of asking me this?”

”You didn't call Dad?” I asked doubtfully.

Grandma immediately said innocently, ”No, what's the matter, little boy? Don't scare Grandma, I really didn't call your father.”

This was strange.

”But, you didn't notify father and you didn't call him. How did he know about Second Uncle's death?” I asked in surprise.

For a moment, Grandma was also shocked speechless.

Seeing how her eyes were filled with panic, I knew that at this rate, she wouldn't be able to take it anymore.

It was as if I suddenly remembered something as I consoled her, ”Oh, that's right. Perhaps it's the village chief. The village chief told him. Alright, grandmother, there's nothing else. Don't think too much about it. Let's eat.”

Hearing my words, Grandma's expression eased up, and seeing her expression, I felt a lot more relieved.

After my grandma and I had dinner.
