C21 (1/2)

I happened to see my father when I left the house of the butcher.

He was standing alone in the doorway, as if waiting for me.

I curiously asked, ”What's wrong?”

He looked a little heavy.

It made me suddenly feel as if something bad had happened.

I couldn't help but open my eyes wide and ask again, ”Father, what happened? Tell me, although I can't solve the problem, it would be better to tell you.”

In the face of my words.

Father gave me a gratified smile and patted my head.

Then he sighed and told me to go home with him.

Now that the butcher's house is gone, there's no need for us to stay here.

I immediately left with my father.

On the way back, I asked, ”By the way, last night …”

I said.

Dad already knew what my problem was.

He absentmindedly said, ”I went to the back of the mountain to check on the ancestral tomb …”

As he said those words, his expression became extremely ugly.

That's right, that was the problem.

I was like a policeman who suddenly caught a very favorable clue and immediately asked, ”What happened? The ancestral grave was destroyed by that Great Immortal Li? ” I may be a girl, but I value the ancestral tombs very much. It can be said that this is the foundation of a family. If our ancestral tombs were destroyed, I would fight Grand Immortal Li to the death.

However, at this time, his father shook his head and said, ”Destroy? That's not true, but it's a little strange. When I looked over, I saw black smoke rising from the ancestral tombs. ”

This...

I felt as if I'd been struck by lightning.

I've heard of smoke coming out of ancestral graves, but I've never heard of smoke coming out of them. What does that mean?

”What's going on?” I know nothing about it.

The old man immediately shook his head and sighed, ”I can't say for sure either. It must be because of the fright.”

Terrified... He really didn't know what had happened that could cause the ancestral tombs to emit black smoke.

However, if this black smoke was caused by him, he would naturally be able to see through it with his father's eyesight.

However, if this situation is not man-made but spontaneous, it means that the Old Ancestor seems to be using this very special method to give us a secret signal to tell us something.

It's just that this idea is too unfathomable. Even if I were to tell him, father would not necessarily believe me, not to mention that this is only a guess from me.

”What should we do? As descendants, we cannot just let them do as they wish, right?” I said, a little puzzled.

His father nodded. ”Of course not. I've called you here to buy a black dog and a rooster with seven feathers on its tail.”

This request was somewhat strange.

There are many roosters in our village, but what I've seen are all white fur. I don't know if there will be this kind of black fur in the town.

But since my father said so, there must be a reason for it. I took the money without a second thought, rode my bicycle from home, and headed for town.

Our village is five or six miles away from the town. Although it's not very far, it's very tiring to walk down the mountain road.

However, it was different when I was riding the bicycle because when I was going down, I almost didn't need to put my foot on the pedal as I gently braked and slid down the hill. I wasn't tired at all when I slipped down the mountain road five to six miles away.

However, only after going uphill can there be a downhill. It can be imagined that when I return, it would be disastrous …

About 10 or 20 minutes later, I arrived at the town.

I often come to the bazaar above town.

After all, the village is small and there is no grocery store or place that sells vegetables. If we want to buy vegetables or daily necessities, we need to come to the town.

Logically speaking, this matter of buying vegetables shouldn't be done by a virgin like me. It's just that since my father is usually away and my grandmother is quite old, this job is naturally mine.

See me all the way here.

The owner of the stall I often went to greeted me, ”Little boy, you have not been here for quite some time. What's wrong? Have you lived a rough life?”

It was an older woman, but she always liked me to call her older sister and say that when she was young, she was as pretty as me, but I just couldn't see her because she was too fat and I was growing up, so I didn't want to be as fat as her.

Hearing her joke, I smiled out of courtesy and explained, ”There have been a lot of things going on these past few days, so I couldn't get here.”

The grandma didn't care about that. She greeted him, ”Sure, then what dishes do you want today? This is an apple from the north. Do you want to buy some to eat?”

She knows I like fruit, so she sells it every time I come.

If it was in normal times, I would definitely buy it.
