While waiting for the car, Li Ke sent a message to Du Li, telling her that he had something to do and had left early. She could go and inspect the house and warehouse in advance, and she could keep the deposit she received.

After thinking for a moment, she also sent farewell text messages to several other business owners she had good relationships with, wishing them prosperous business and hoping to have the opportunity to cooperate with them again in the future.

Li Ke flagged down a bus on the road and got on. For these kinds of buses that pick up passengers along the way, all he had to do was pay the fare and get a anonymous ticket.

Li Ke put her old phone into her personal space and stopped contacting anyone. No one could contact Chu Ming, who had appeared before, anymore.

After sitting on the bus for nearly two days, Li Ke returned to the place where she grew up in the evening. She changed back into her original appearance and found a hotel to stay in.

After settling into her room and checking it over, Li Ke took out her phone and was bombarded with missed messages from Chen Zhizhi, Li Zhenzhen, Chen Jiaojiao, Zhang Tao, and Aunt Mei.

No one sent messages, it was all phone calls. The most frequent calls came from Chen Jiaojiao and Zhang Tao. Li Ke glanced at them casually and then switched to another page.

She found a local girl online who did part-time work and asked her to visit her ancestors' graves, ensuring that no festival was missed, and to take short videos as proof each time she visited the graves.

Flowers, incense, candles, paper money, and paper ingots can all be reimbursed. Each errand will cost 300 yuan. After the two agreed on this, they arranged to visit the grave together the next day.

The next day, Li Ke got up very early, had breakfast outside, and then went to the incense shop to buy offerings. She bought a lot of old and new items, which she couldn't carry all at once. Since it was inconvenient to take a taxi, Li Ke had no choice but to ask the incense shop owner to give her a ride, and she paid extra for the fare.

On the way, they picked up a part-time girl holding flowers, got into the car together, and drove to the suburbs, all the way to the countryside.

Li Ke's grandparents, her maternal grandparents, are all buried in their old home in the countryside, which is actually quite close to the city.

When they reached the roadside, Li Ke asked the car to stop and wait for them, as it wasn't easy to get a taxi in this area.

The part-time girl looked troubled when she saw that the location wasn't a cemetery.

"What's wrong? Just say it," Li Ke noticed the change in her expression and asked directly.

The girl glanced at Li Ke's indifferent expression, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "This place is a bit remote, and it's not convenient to get here by public transport. The bus doesn't stop here, so it's not easy to get here."

Li Ke: "You don't want to do it anymore?"

The girl quickly said no, then said apologetically, "Could you add a little more money? Would three hundred and fifty be okay?"

Li Ke readily agreed, and the girl's expression immediately relaxed. Seeing that Li Ke didn't want to talk, she quietly followed him forward.

Including the thirteen years of her previous life, Li Ke has not returned for about seventeen years. In her previous life, she only had time to hurriedly pay respects to the two elders when she was in vocational college and had some relative freedom.

Li Zhenzhen disliked Li Ke mentioning people and things from the past, including her parents. At that time, Li Ke was very careful and naturally wouldn't upset Li Zhenzhen.

There used to be seven or eight graves in this area, all of which were old graves of the Li family. When she was a child, her grandfather would bring her uncle and her to visit the graves. Now, a few new graves have been added. After carefully examining them, Li Ke finally confirmed the location of her grandparents.

After her uncle passed away, no one came to pay their respects. The grave had been neglected for a long time, and weeds had grown on it. Li Ke put down her things, took out a sickle from her bag, and began to clear the weeds.

She hadn't expected this, but luckily there was space, so taking out a sickle wasn't a big deal.

After cleaning up, Li Ke arranged the offerings and flowers, and began burning the paper money and gifts he had bought for his grandparents. He bowed several times and silently reminded his grandparents to accept the money and gifts.

Then I took some paper money to the graves of my ancestors and offered it to each one, following the example my grandfather used to make, and bowed to them all.

"From now on, just do as I say. You don't need to do any worship; just send over the things that need to be sent. Please try to buy good quality items, and I will reimburse you for everything," Li Ke said to the girl who was walking with her to identify the graves.

The girl agreed, and Li Ke stood silently in front of the grave for a while. After this visit, Li Ke probably wouldn't come back again. She had no attachment to this place, or rather, there was no place in this world that she would want to stay.

Moreover, nobody knows what this place will look like in two years.

Li Ke felt that God giving her a second chance at life was a bit of a joke. After all, she had no lingering attachments when she died. Life in the apocalypse was too bitter, and the end was a kind of relief.
