Qiu Shi was breaking the corn on the slope, but the little sparrows dancing in the sky mischievously pooped on the back of her hand. Before she could wash up, her brother An An ran out of the backyard and shouted at her,""Min, hurry up and go back to see if Grandpa is dead…"
Hearing this news, a cold and numb feeling spread from Qiu Shi's face to her entire body. She scrambled back home. His grandfather fell to the cold ground. Qiu Shi reached out to grab him, but he did not react. Her heart was instantly tortured by fear, worry, fear, heartache, and all kinds of despair."Grandpa…you can't abandon me!!!!”
The old man's body was slowly turning cold, but his biological son allowed Qiu Shi, who wasn't his biological granddaughter, to cry at the side without any expression.
Qiu Shi had no choice but to drag her father into her grandfather's bedroom. He touched the artery on his father's neck and said to Qiu Shi,""He's already dead. Why are you still shouting? Hurry up and report the funeral. Inform all the relatives.”
"G-grandpa-grandpa-is-dead?”The girl suddenly felt as if a bolt from the blue had struck her head. She could not believe that what she had just heard was true. She opened the door and saw Qiu Shi walking on the road in a daze. Every step was very strenuous. The grandfather who loved her the most in this world, he didn't even say a word to her, just like that, he died…
That's right! No matter how much he cried and shouted, his kind grandfather had long stopped breathing and had no pulse. In the entire family, who else could go to report the funeral except Qiu Shi?……(Mourning: After a relative dies, firecrackers should be set off to inform the neighbors. When you go to the home of a relative of the same clan, you should first kneel three times before entering the door. Then, you should explain who has passed away in the family and inform the clansmen to see them for the last time.）
At that moment, no one cared about Qiu Shi's grief. She walked barefoot to her aunt's house, which was more than thirty miles away. Then, he ran to his aunt's house and many relatives 'houses.
The Zhang family's ancestral home in Baisha Town was Grandma's maiden home.
Qiu Shi entered and knelt on the ground.
She said to her grandaunt,"My grandfather passed away. He--didn't say a word--died…" Qiu Shi fell to the ground and muttered.
After a while, when she woke up, she saw that the whole family was panicking."Child, are you alright? Everyone will take this step when they are old. Don't be too sad!!!”Even though their relatives were very sad, they were deeply shocked when they saw Qiu Shi's expression.
Qiu Shi didn't say anything and left the Zhang Clan. She continued to run and kowtow along the way. Her feet were swollen and shiny, and she could no longer stand steadily on her knees, but she refused to take a break. Because Grandpa doted on her so much and did everything for her. She knew that her grandfather's death was all because of her.
That night, all the relatives came to attend the funeral. Qiu Shi ran for the whole day and only returned home in the middle of the night. She did not even have a sip of water.
She quietly knelt in front of her grandfather's coffin, wearing a white coarse cloth on her head and a mourning dress on her body…
A few years ago, she had sent her grandmother away in the same way. A few days ago, Silver had been killed by her father. Today, her grandfather, who had doted on her the most, had also died.
In her memories, her grandfather had been neglected by her two aunts ever since he fell ill. She didn't ask him to help look after the vegetable garden, nor did she send him rice and food. She didn't even bother to come back to her mother's house.
Although her father had been taken away by the police, he hadn't hit her much when he came back. However, she was mean to her grandfather. She remembered that it was because of her that her grandfather fell ill. It was not easy for him to get better, but because she dodged that person's flying hoe, her grandfather suffered such a heavy blow, and it was out of control.
Even though her grandfather was seriously ill, Xiang did not allow Qiu Shi to bring food to her grandfather, even though the old man called out,"" I'm hungry, I'm so hungry-"
However, that person had always treated it as a fly's chirping. Did he curse her out of frustration?
She recalled how she had secretly sent her grandfather corn cakes when her father was not at home. Although it was cold, her grandfather still ate them in big mouthfuls. She also filled a bottle of well water for her grandfather before school.
Now, the bottle of water, which had only been drunk a little, was quietly placed behind the curtain at Grandpa's bedside.
She remembered how kind her grandfather's smile was. That old man had protected her like a mountain. No matter how far away, terrifying, or dangerous the situation was, he would always appear suddenly to protect her and give her warmth.
But now, Grandpa was gone, and so was Silver.
He didn't even say goodbye to her and left just like that.
"Minmin, I have a few cents on me. I'll buy you some snacks!”
"Minmin, your father is going to hit you. Hurry up and put on some thick clothes.”
"Minmin is so smart! You scored another 100 points. Grandpa will buy you delicious food!”
" Min Min, help grandpa roll the tobacco leaves."
" Minmin, come and help grandpa massage his back. I'm choking-"
"Min Min-"
"Min Min-"
Her grandfather would never say these words to her again. She knew it, but her grandfather's voice still rang in her ears, over and over again.
In the past, his grandfather would always say,"Minmin, I'm going to XXXXX. I'll be back by XXXX. Be good!" When your dad wants to beat you, wear more clothes on your body."Then, he took his favorite pipe and disappeared.
Qiu Shi's tears flowed as she looked at her grandfather who was lying quietly in the coffin. Grandpa, it would be great if you were the same as before. In that case, at least not long later, I would definitely see Grandpa's smile again.
However, it was different this time. Qiu Shi stared blankly at her grandfather's old pipe. It was the thing he cherished the most. This time, Grandpa did not even take his most important pipe with him. He did not tell her when he would be back.
Qiu Shi knelt in front of her grandfather's coffin and stared at the body that would never move again without saying a word. Her expression made the surrounding relatives and friends feel heartbroken!
That's right. Such a tragic thing happened again and again. How could she not deeply experience the so-called destructive blow?
God didn't seem to know how sad one person's departure was for another person.
But the most important thing was that she had lost Silver's company, her grandfather's warmth, and the only smile that could comfort her. How could she continue walking down that dark path alone?
