"Your grandpa is seriously ill and I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for a few days."

This is the first sentence my mother called me.

My mind suddenly roared, and my whole body fell into a brief blank space.

"How are you doing there now? Do you have time to come back?"

The mother continued.

"I have!"

I came to my senses and nodded quickly. My mind kept replaying the scene when my grandfather took me to buy snacks and played a water gun battle with me when I was a child.

"Hey, come back soon if you have time, your grandfather... Forget it, do you have money? I know you have just graduated and it's hard to find a job. You haven't called home during this period. Your grandfather's illness is busy at home, and you forgot to ask you."

Mother cares.

"Mom, I have money. I have found a job. Don't worry, I will ask for leave from the company immediately and go back now."

My nose felt a little sore, so I tried to control my tone and said calmly.

"It's good to come back. Tell your company's leaders. If it really doesn't work, you might as well come back. Why do you have to stay there? It's not that there is no job at home. Even if you can't find it, our family can still support you..."

"Yeah, I know mom, don't worry, your son is promising."

My mother's doting tone made me almost unable to help crying.

He barely controlled his emotions, and then hung up the phone after saying a few words to his mother.

I am usually taciturn and follow my father's genes. After I come out to study, I rarely call home, and I ask for money every time I speak.

No greetings, no holiday greetings.

I don’t know if it’s a common problem for my generation, but in my heart, my family always retains a hint of softness.

If you don’t contact, it doesn’t mean that the relationship is bad, it just doesn’t know how to communicate.

I never took this kind of thing to heart, and my parents never asked me to contact me too much. Over time, I got used to it and thought there was nothing wrong with this.

But today, I suddenly realized that I was wrong, and it was a big mistake.

It is precisely because I don’t contact me that I have no idea about my grandfather’s physical condition. I suddenly received a call, but because I was critically ill.

I was extremely regretful and slapped myself in the mouth.

Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, the annual Zhongyuan Festival, which is also the day when the store opens its doors to welcome ghosts.

But I couldn't care about these things anymore, so I took out the phone book and called Qi Tianchuan.

"What's up?"

The phone was quickly connected and Qi Tianchuan's calm voice came out.

"My grandfather is critically ill. I have to go home quickly and ask you for leave. You will..."

"Okay, you don't have to worry about tomorrow's affairs. I'll take time to come back and go home quickly. Don't waste time. Well, wait..." Before I finished speaking, Qi Tianchuan agreed happily. After pausing for a moment, he continued, "Don't you have a driver's license, how about driving skills?"

"When I was in my hometown, I often drove my dad's broken noodles to the city to buy things. Why do you ask me about this?"

I vaguely guessed what Qi Tianchuan meant.

Sure enough, he then heard him say, "That's it, then I'm relieved. You go to the back of the store, there is a garage there. The key is in the third drawer in the lower right corner. Drive back. Now there is no train to your hometown at this time. Go back early, don't delay it."

"Thanks."

Thousands of words finally formed these two simple words, but at this moment I was very serious.

"Okay, you guys are so kind to me, you guys are so kind. Isn't it time to call me a bastard?" Qi Tianchuan chuckled and said, "Be careful on the way back. There is also a bank card with the key. You bring it with you. I used your name and your salary card. I didn't tell you earlier. I happened to take it with you this time. I saved one million in it. First calculate your commission this month. Your password is your ID card on your birthday. When you go home, don't worry about your parents, think how miserable you are doing outside."

After he finished speaking, Qi Tianchuan hung up the phone without waiting for me to speak.

I was moved. Although this guy usually looks careless, he is always clean and neat when doing things, without any delay.

When I opened the drawer, a Mercedes-Benz key was particularly conspicuous, with a garage roller shutter remote control switch and a bank card.

I put my bank card in my pocket, then picked up the keys and came to the back of the room.

Press the switch and wait until the roller shutter door slowly rises, a brand new black off-road vehicle gradually comes into view.

I didn't know much about the car. At that time, I could only tell that the car was a Mercedes-Benz brand, with a jeep shape, and I didn't know the specific price. I only knew it wouldn't be too cheap.

It's funny, I drive a lot of them, but this kind of luxury car is rare. At that time, I studied the use of automatic transmission for a while. After all, this model is different from Qi Tianchuan's Hummer H2, and the gear lever is also different.

Fortunately, I have some driving experience. After studying for a while, I drove away successfully and rushed to my hometown without stopping.

It was around 8 o'clock at night when I left. I took a few thousand yuan at the Atm machine to refuel and pay the toll. Then I rushed to the road overnight. When I returned to my hometown, it was already past seven o'clock the next morning.

I don’t know if it’s because of my practice, but I drove eleven hours in a row, but I didn’t feel overworked.

Because my hometown is not far from the county town, a cement road was built early, but after entering the village, it was still ordinary mud and uneven.

Relying on Mercedes-Benz's off-road ability, I drove the car directly to the door and parked it beside the road.

Most of the houses in my hometown are built by residents themselves. The courtyard is large and the relatives are very close. In addition, the rural people get up early, and the family is already full of people at this time. All the relatives have arrived. Once I enter the house, I will be all over.

"Oh, Xiao Fei is back."

"Xiao Fei, come here quickly, fortunately you came back in time."

...

When relatives saw me, they greeted me.

I am also a celebrity in half of the village. After all, I was admitted to university, which is a promising thing for the countryside, so my relatives at home are very polite to me, so there is no so-called conflict between relatives.

"Second aunt, uncle, aunt..."

I greeted each other and walked slowly towards the inner room.

"Here I'm back."

In the inner room, my father was sitting next to the edge of the kang with a frown. After seeing me, he just nodded his head slightly and said nothing.

The mother sighed quietly, without saying much.

"Dad, Xiao Fei is back to see you."

The father spoke softly and said to his grandfather who was lying on the kang.

At this time, my grandfather was lying quietly, changing into old clothes, looking peaceful, and occasionally snoring, as if he was sleeping soundly.

I stepped forward and held his thin palm, and shouted, "Grandpa, I'm Xiaofei, I'm back, look at me."

Not received a response for a long time.

My nose couldn't help but feel a little sore. At this time, my grandmother slowly walked in with a crutch, "Xiao Fei is back. Your grandfather's consciousness is no longer clear. The doctor said that he had a cerebral hemorrhage, and it was only a matter of this time."

"Mom, why are you here again? Didn't you say you won't enter this room?"

The father complained, looking obviously worried.

"You kid, my old man is gone, so I can't take a look again. Oh, okay, I know you are worried, don't worry, at my age, there is anything else I can't see. I've figured it out long ago, just pretend I'm here to see my eldest grandson, can't it be okay?"

Grandma said stubbornly.

I stood up quickly and stepped forward to support her.

"Grandma, I'm sorry, I'm late."

I said with some shame.

"Good grandson, what are you saying? Haven't you rushed back?"

Grandma rubbed my head gently.

I wanted to say something else, but my grandfather's breathing suddenly became rapid.

The whole family looked nervous in an instant and looked at grandpa.

"dad?"

My father called out several times.

But my grandfather's condition obviously did not change much, and his breathing became faster and faster. Gradually, he could feel that he could exhale more and intake less.

Grandma finally couldn't help but feel sad, "Old man, don't worry, everyone in her family is here, Xiao Fei is back to see you, you can feel at ease."

As grandma finished speaking, grandpa took a quick breath, as if he heard grandma talking, his bloated chest slowly sank, and finally exhaled his last breath and became completely quiet.

"dad--"

In a blink of an eye, a strong aura of sadness filled the entire room and everyone burst into tears.

Grandma fell to her side, while other relatives fell to her knees and cried bitterly.

I could no longer control myself, tears passed through my face, and I wanted to step forward and hold my grandfather's hand again, but at this moment, a faint black smoke floated up and floated above my grandfather's body, and finally slowly changed into my grandfather's appearance.

"Is this... grandpa's soul? Grandpa has turned into a ghost?"

I felt a little moved and looked at me in surprise.

At this time, Grandpa's ghost looked complicated. He looked down at his body, as if he had already understood. Then he turned to look at everyone, his lips moved, and in the end he said nothing.

It is really hard for me to describe my mood at that time. My dear grandfather passed away and was full of sadness, but at this moment I saw the ghost of his old man. If it weren't for too many relatives present, I would probably have been unable to help but come forward to say hello.

A ray of light shone in through the window, and grandpa's soul shook, as if it was very painful.

I was shocked and remembered that the soul body could not shine on the sun, especially the new soul, which could not withstand the corrosion of the yang energy. If it was illuminated for a long time, it would probably be destroyed.

There was no need to care about it at the moment and hurriedly shouted, "Grandpa, hurry up and find a place where the sun cannot be shined."

Grandpa was shocked and looked at me in surprise. Then he realized that his soul suddenly floated to the side and hid in the shadows.

I quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but then I felt that the atmosphere in the room was not right, and then I remembered the current situation.

All the relatives forgot to cry and stared at me with strange eyes, making me feel scared.

"Okay, now I'm having a big time, how can I explain?"
