127, Divine Stick (18) (1/2)

The old man was still wiping the corners of the room stiffly. He was a little surprised why his movements were so stiff today, as if he couldn't lift his hands. He was a little suspicious of arthritis, but he didn't feel any pain.

If he keeps wiping like this, how long will he have to wait until he can finish wiping the tables, chairs and benches in the house? Xiliu loves to clean so much that when he is at home, Xiaoxiao still wipes the table with a rag every day.

Thinking about his little granddaughter, the old man became a little happy. Xi Liuneng wanted him to come back to see him, which was something he never dared to dream about. The more he thought about it, the happier he felt, and the stiffness under his hands became a little less tense.

He didn't know why, but his thinking seemed to have slowed down, and now it took him a long time to think about anything.

The old man sighed, he is really old, and he can no longer accept it.

After wiping the table, he slowly supported the table and walked slowly to the big cabinet in the room. He opened the cabinet with his hands covered in bruises, and trembled slightly as he pulled out the bottom item inside. Something wrapped in cloth.

Slowly opening it, there were all kinds of beautiful headbands that little girls would like. The old man touched these cute headbands with care, and a smile appeared on his face.

In previous years, when he went to the market, he always bought Xiliu a headband. He was very poor at that time and didn't have much money to buy good-looking ones. After Xiliu left, he slowly saved some money, and every time he went to the market , even though he knew that his granddaughter was not at home, he couldn't help but buy it and put it in his hand, thinking how happy Xi Liu would be if he saw it.

As he thought about it, he became happy first.

Unexpectedly, these headbands could be handed over to Xi Liu one day. The old man stood in front of the cabinet, holding the piece of cloth, looking at the headbands inside, and a smile slowly appeared on his face covered with dark scars.

This smile is a little stiff, but full of expectations. Over the past few years, sometimes, when the old man lies in bed and cannot sleep, he will regret it when he looks at the paintings drawn by his little granddaughter on the wall.

He regretted sending away his sweet Xiliu. He missed her so much that he couldn't sleep all night long, thinking about whether Xiliu ate well, slept well, and whether the people who adopted her were very kind to her. Okay, did she cry, did she miss her grandpa...

But when I wake up the next day, all these regrets will be hidden.

He told himself again and again that Xiliu was still young, she was smart and well-behaved, and such a good child should not suffer with such a bad old man like him. He couldn't even buy better clothes for this child. It's better to let her enjoy her happiness.

The old man has seen those pampered little girls once or twice, wearing beautiful clothes, beautiful shoes, and wearing various kinds of hairbands on their heads. They are extremely beautiful in the sun.

They don't have to wash clothes, do housework, and don't have to stay in a broken house every day without even being able to watch TV. The old man wants his granddaughter to live such a life, even if he crazily misses this baby he grew up with. The little Xiliu who was brought up also had to endure it.

But now, his Xi Liu came back to see his grandpa.

The old man looked at the headband stupidly and smiled for a long time. He carefully hugged the cloth tightly, stiffened his body, and slowly walked out of the house. He sat on a chair outside. A pair of turbid and white eyes looked at the end of the path full of hope. far away.

Wei Mingyan came to the bamboo forest with someone in his arms.

He put the little girl down and took out a pair of shoes that he had put away before.

This is a pair of small leather shoes, the red color is very eye-catching, and it looks like the style that little girls like.

The handsome Taoist priest threw the shoes to Zhong Hua and said, "Burn them."

The young man quickly took it, started the fire again, and threw the shoes inside. The shoes were made of leather and smelled like burning. He choked and coughed, which made Xi Liu frequently turn around and look at him worriedly.

"You know what to do, right?"

Wei Mingyan ignored the grimacing Zhong Hua, leaned against the bamboo, lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the little girl, "You also learned a lot from Wang Jinchuan's side. Can you lie?"

Xiliu's fair face showed some certainty. She nodded and said in a sweet voice, "Xiliu knows how to lie."

"Good boy."

The Taoist Master leaned over slightly, rang the bell, and watched as the pinch mark on the girl's neck gradually disappeared, and the area became white again, and then he showed a slight smile.

He touched the girl's head and warned in a gentle voice: "Don't cry for a while and let grandpa go in peace, okay?"

As soon as she heard about grandpa, tears began to well up in Xiliu's eyes. She tried her best to hide the tears by blinking her eyes, and whispered in a choked voice, "I won't cry, I want to make grandpa happy."

"good."

Wei Mingyan straightened up and took a look at the little girl's feet. She now had a pair of red leather shoes with two bunny ears made of fake fur, which was playful and cute.

Zhong Hua had trimmed Xi Liu's hair before, but now she was wearing cartoon clothes with Mickey Mouse patterns and red leather shoes. Her hair was neat, her complexion was fair, and her eyes were still moist from the tears she had just shed.

Xi Liu smiled at the handsome Taoist Priest. It was sweet, as if he had lived in a sweet jar since he was a child and was pampered and raised.

Zhong Hua came over. She stepped forward, took his hand, raised her little face, and said with a smile, "Brother, let's go find grandpa."

"He must have missed me."

"Okay, brother will take you to find grandpa." The young man's eyes were a little red, but he still managed to squeeze out a smile, holding the hand of the little sister he had grown up with, and slowly walked in the opposite direction.

Someone saw him on the road and said hello, "Huahua is back? He's a big leader now and has a lot of potential!"

Zhong Hua smiled and answered a few words, then said goodbye and continued to move forward.

The two villagers carrying hoes on their backs were a little confused when they saw him walking away while holding something in his hands.

Isn't that nothing?

The old man was waiting at the door of his home when he suddenly saw two people walking on the path. He quickly stood up with a stiff body and looked forward to them.

"grandfather!!"

The little girl's crisp voice sounded, and then a small figure rushed over quickly. The old man was thinking a little slowly now, and before he could react, a little girl squeezed into his arms.

The little girl hugged him and kept acting coquettishly, which made his heart soften and his eyes were full of joy.

"Grandpa, grandpa, I miss you so much. I always miss you so much..."

The old man patted his granddaughter on the back with trembling hands, and opened his mouth to speak, but it was a little slurred because of his stiff tongue, "Grandpa also... misses Xi Liu..."

He didn't realize there was anything wrong with him, but Xi Liu and Zhong Hua found out and pretended they didn't know.

Zhong Hua closed his eyes, hiding the sorrow in his eyes, and walked over with a smile, "Grandpa Gen, I met Xi Liu on the road and brought her back. Look, I didn't even buy any food."

"It's okay...it's okay..." The old man waved his hands, his face full of pure joy. After a pause, he looked hesitantly at the trail behind the two of them, "Who...sent Xiliu back? "

Zhong Hua was startled. Before he could think of an answer, the little girl acting coquettishly in the old man's arms spoke first, "It's my parents. They went to the county to do business first. They happened to meet my brother, so I asked him to take me." Brought it."

The old man nodded and asked, "Xiliu, are your parents treating you well?"

"Okay, mom and dad said they really like Xiliu. They bought me a lot of food, things to play, and new clothes. Grandpa, do you think my shoes look good?"

As if to show off, the little girl stretched out her feet to show the old man the red shoes she was wearing. The old man's vision was actually a little blurry, but looking at the red color, he still smiled and nodded happily.

"Good-looking, good-looking, we Xiliu will look good in anything she wears."

His brain was half frozen, and he didn't even realize why the granddaughter in front of him was still the same height as when he left a few years ago. He just happily held her hand and asked.

"Xiliu, did your parents send you to school?"

"Now that I'm here, all the kids in school like me. They say I'm good-looking and like to play with me. The teacher also likes me the most. Every time I eat, he gives me chicken drumsticks..."

The little girl's childish voice was crisp and full of happiness, "I have made a lot of friends and have a lot of picture books. Grandpa, let me tell you, my parents take me to the amusement park every week. We play Many, many more…”

"Isn't Xiliukai happy?"

"Of course I'm happy. Grandpa, my parents are so kind to me. When I first arrived I couldn't sleep, so they came to sleep with me. They never let me go out alone at night. They always stayed with me. Talk to me and watch TV. Grandpa, do you think the Mickey Mouse on me looks good?"

The old man smiled cheerfully, "It looks good, it looks so good..."

He touched the hair of his granddaughter in front of him and asked, "Didn't your parents buy a hairband for her?"

Xi Liu paused and said with a smile, "I bought it, but I forgot to wear it. The one I'm wearing now is the one you bought for me before, grandpa, and I can't bear to throw it away."

The smile on the old man's bruised face had not changed since his granddaughter came back. He carefully and stiffly took out the piece of cloth from his pocket, carefully opened it, and exposed the various beautiful hairbands inside.

"Look, grandpa bought this for you. I don't know if you like it or not. There is Mickey Mouse in it. Grandpa remembers that we Xiliu likes Mickey Mouse the most..."

He stretched out his hand to take out the Mickey Mouse headband alone, but when his hand fell on it, there was a fog in front of him, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

Xi Liu looked at the eyes of the old man in front of him that had started to turn white, and blinked quickly to hide the tears. He picked up Teacher Mi's headband and put it on his head.

She asked, "Grandpa, do I look good?"

The old man slowly raised his head, his eyes already filled with white blinds, they were the eyes of a dead person.

He couldn't see it anymore, but he still slowly and stiffly smiled, "It looks good. When grandpa bought it, he thought it would look good with Xi Liu."

The little girl couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes anymore. She pursed her lips to suppress her crying and got into her grandfather's arms.

Her voice was sweet and full of coquettishness, "Why do you think grandpa always says he looks good when I ask him anything? You must be coaxing me!"

"No, no, Xi Liu is really good-looking. Grandpa won't lie to you."

The old man smiled, but his head felt heavy.

He whispered, "Xiliu, grandpa is a little sleepy. Can I go and lie down for a while?"

"I'm supporting Grandpa."

"Xiliu has grown up and is so sensible. Xiliu, grandpa wants to hear you talk about your parents..."

"Well...my father is very tall and strong and can protect us. He has bright eyes and always calls me a good daughter. My mother is very good-looking and is very kind to me..."

Wei Mingyan leaned on crutches and watched the old man and the young child go in. He opened his long legs and walked in too.

"Xiliu, grandpa, grandpa goes to bed first, you go outside to eat sweets, ah..."

The old man on the bed heard the noise, and reluctantly let go of his granddaughter's hand, letting her leave first.

The handsome Taoist priest watched the little girl go out, sat by the bed and said, "Xi Liu is gone, do you have anything to tell me?"

"I, I remember..." The old man lying on the bed smiled bitterly and said in a hoarse voice, "I was carrying firewood and rolled down the cliff. It was so high that I couldn't survive..."

"You asked me at that time, what was under the cliff..."

"There was really a stream under there, many beautiful stones, and birds fell on me, chirping..."

Wei Mingyan leaned on a cane, stroking the wood in his palm, and said softly, "You remembered your granddaughter who you haven't seen since you sent her away. You want to see her, so you climbed up again."

"Yes, yes..."

The old man smiled bitterly and said, "I'm worried, worried about my Xi Liu, she is so young and so well-behaved, I'm worried if I don't take a look at her..."

"Master..." His body had begun to stiffen, and he couldn't move except his mouth. He could only lie stiffly on the bed, looking at the ceiling with completely white eyes in confusion.

"Can you... help me calculate for the last time, calculate how Xiliu will live in the future, whether she will be happy or not..."

He couldn't see, so he naturally didn't know that Wei Mingyan took out the tortoise shell and threw it on the bed, but didn't go to see the result.

The handsome Taoist priest said lightly with a magnetic and pleasant voice, "She has a safe and smooth life, her parents love her, her husband is caring, her children and grandchildren are filial..."

The old man on the bed smiled, "Okay, okay..."

Wei Mingyan sat by the bed, watching a soul come out, without obsession, and went to reincarnation at ease.

"Grandpa!!!"

The little girl who had been forbearing finally couldn't help crying.

She stumbled to her knees by the bed, holding the old man's hand, crying with tears all over her face.

"Cry, cry once, then go find your body and bury it with him."

A hand gently touched her head, the little girl sobbed, and looked at the handsome Taoist priest in front of her with red and swollen eyes, "Where will grandpa go? Will he be like uncle?"

Wei Mingyan looked at the old man who died with a smile on his face on the bed, and said in a light voice:

"Heaven."

The author has something to say: The first ten little angels will send red envelopes, muah, 10,000 get it every day!

Introduction:

Wei Mingyan is a charlatan.

Of course, only he thinks so.

Similar to the combination of various short stories in the quick wear, the main focus is family, friendship, love, teacher-student, master-pet, all kinds of love, warm bedtime stories, come to one?

*【No CP, no CP, no CP, important things are said three times! 】

About Mingyan's setting: In fact, Mingyan's character was set up from the beginning. He is a national teacher who should be annihilated for going against the will of heaven. He caught a system to do tasks while sleeping. After completing the tasks, that is, the main text is finished, he will wake up in the modern society and continue to be free and easy. The vacation world is his original character. Originally, I wanted to put some extra stories after Mingyan woke up after the main text was finished, but the more I wrote this story, the more I liked it. In addition, the little angels strongly requested it, so I finally decided to write it independently.

About the time to start writing: It should take a long time to start writing. There is also a book "Redemption [Quick Wear]" waiting in line in front. In addition, writing independently is different from the quick wear world, because it involves many supernatural aspects, and there are a lot of information to check, as well as various allusions and a mature world view. It is not like quick wear, what the author says is what it is. I should study all kinds of knowledge and have a good foundation and world view before writing. After all, I really like this story and want to write it seriously. If you don't mind, please keep it first. Love you!

About the title of the book which is exactly the same as Small World: I really can't think of a name, so I'll use "Shen Gun" first, and if I come up with a better one, I'll change it [covering my face]

About the cover: Finally, I really want to praise the cover of "Shen Gun", which I made myself using the Jinjiang cover making system, hehehehe
