Anthony paid ten times the fee to the boatman, and the boatman was overwhelmed with flattery, and repeatedly said no, but was finally persuaded by Old Mrs. Crawford while being sent away.
The old man was left alone, Lilly shook the jar and said, “Don’t worry, Grandma Nancy is inside, but she can’t come out until we go back.” Because of a sudden accident, everyone returned early.
The owner of the bike rental came again, this time not only took a few empty bikes back, but also took a whole group of people back, and everyone sat behind the truck.
The blue sky was still so blue, but everyone felt a little heavy in their hearts. Looking at the old man wrapped in a blanket after changing his clothes nearby, they didn’t know what to say.
Lilly looked at the receding scenery by the roadside. Her clear and bright eyes were filled with confusion, not sure what was on her mind.
When they arrived at Woollen Wharf, Anthony chartered a boat back to the homestay where they lived. After the old man returned to the room, the boss made him some tea, and the old man saw his lover as he wished.
Nancy cried and blamed, “You stupid old man, what are you doing, really, how much trouble you have caused...” The old man smiled, “I was wrong.” Everyone was speechless.
Old Mr. Crawford shook his head, “Old man, don't think too much! It's not troublesome at all. Our son-in-law is physically fit, but we can’t guarantee that you can be rescued every time. Don’t be stupid again, you know? ” Old Mrs. Crawford pulled him and said in a low voice, “Let's go.” Old Mr. Crawford, “Huh?” He was not finished yet.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, he was forcibly pulled away by old Mr. Crawford.
Seeing this, Melody also took Ivan away.
Josh pulled Hannah away, Josh pulled Zachary away, Anthony pulled Lisa away...
In the end, only Blake, Lilly, Grace, and the ghosts floating around were left in the room.
The harem spirit sighed, “Hey, since ancient times, infatuation has always been hurtful, and obsession has brought many injuries... A piece of infatuation endows dreams, and no one will accompany me in the world of mortals.” The unlucky ghost said, “Yo, so sentimental today?” The weakling spirit, “Be quiet, you guys.” The ghost bride whispered, “However, this kind of feeling is something that | envy.” No matter in ancient times or modern times, it was really hard to find an infatuated person who could last a lifetime.
Lilly sat on the edge of the bed, propped her chin with her small hands, and said hesitantly, “Grandpa, you really don’t need to worry... Your days are numbered.” Nancy was taken aback, and asked, “What do you mean?” Lilly said, “Grandpa's lifespan is coming to an end, and he will pass away at four o'clock in the morning tonight.” “When your life span is not over, even if you commit suicide, you won't be able to die...” She glanced at the passionate spirit on the old man’s head.
From the beginning to the end, this passionate spirit was quiet, Lilly pretended not to see him, and all the ghosts also ignored him tacitly.
When Nancy heard that he was going to die, she could not help feeling sad, and grabbed his hand tightly.
However, the old man felt relieved and said with a hearty smile, “That's great!” He didn’t have to keep her waiting any longer.
If they could reincarnate together, he would cross the bridge with her hand in his hand.
If they could not reincarnate together, he would wait for her.
If the Ruler of Hell said that Nancy could not be reincarnated by committing suicide, then he would stay with her forever in the Ghost Town.
Nancy laughed and cried, and said angrily, “You are... So stupid.” The old man smiled, but his eyes shone, and he seemed to have regained his original toughness in an instant.
The imminent death was the last news for him in these years, he could even sit up on his back, looking forward to and getting ready for his departure.
“I can’t die here...” He babbled, “They are here for business, so dying here won't affect him well, so I'll go out at night...” “I can’t take someone else's car either. Going back to our hometown from here, we will definitely not get there at four in the morning... | can’t die in the car by then and cause trouble for others.” Grace turned her face away unnaturally, Lilly's eyes were warm, and for some reason she wanted to cry.
People were going to die no matter what, the old man knew he was going to die, but what he wanted was not to cause trouble for others...
Lilly blushed and asked, “Grandpa, do you have any family members?” The old man shook his head, “No, I'm the only one in the family. My relatives and friends are also busy, and | don’t have much contact with them. Don’t bother them.” He smiled and said, “It's okay, I'll go directly to the funeral home, | still have a little savings, when the time comes, | will ask the staff to help me send me back to my hometown. I'll just get myself buried.” The old man really did not care.
How many people can know so clearly that they were going to die of old age and arrange for their own funeral? He did not care about the protocol, his only thought was to go with Nancy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBlake stood up and said, “Let me go get ready.” Anthony stood outside the door, seeing Blake coming out, the two whispered a few words.
Later, a few cars came outside the door, and the boss looked blank, “Are you going back now? The children have just arrived!” They only played for a day.
Blake said, “It's okay, anyway, we could always come here whenever we wish to.” The boss said, “Then | will give you a refund for the remaining one day and settle the bill.” Blake waved his hand, ready to coolly say no.
However, Anthony just walked out.
He coughed, “Okay, sorry to trouble you.” Boss, “?” He thought of something and said, “Oh, by the way, please have dinner with us tonight. | bought a lamb and roasted the whole lamb.” “At first, | thought | could not finish eating one of them, so | put the rest of the half in the refrigerator... It just happened that you are here together. The mutton will not taste good if it has been frozen.” Anthony pondered for a moment, then nodded, “Thank you, then you do not need to refund our rooms.” The boss was shocked, “How can that be the case! We all do business according to our duty...” Anthony said, “We will trouble you with the dinner, you may need to worry a lot about feeding the children.” Blake patted the boss on the shoulder, “Don’t think about it too much, there are so many of us, we have to pay for our meals.” The boss could not help it, and finally went to buy a lot of vegetables.
That night.
A bonfire was lit in the yard, and a barbecue grill was set up next to it. The proprietress rolled out two soup pots, one with a spicy base, and the other was radish soup broth for mutton.
Roasted whole lamb was placed on the fire, and the boss skillfully sprinkled cumin, pepper, and chili noodles on it in a professional way.
His two friends nearby also came over. The friend beat the African drum, and the melodious singing was carried away by the warmth of the campfire, and the smell of roasted lamb.
Lilly and the others were playing in the yard, there was a swing, Josh pushed Lilly, and after a while it was Hannah's turn, the yard was full of laughter.
The old man sat on a sofa chair with a blanket on his knees, looking at everything in front of him cheerfully.
Lonely for half his life, he did not expect to feel the happiness of his children and grandchildren before he died. Although these children were not his children, he was really content.
