Unexpectedly, in the dead of night, they discovered that someone had come up the mountain.
What are you doing up the mountain so late at night?
Could he be a thief?
Grandpa Wang immediately became alert, worried that something might have happened to his family and fellow villagers down the mountain.
However, he quickly put his worries aside.
He discovered that the person who came up the mountain was not a stranger, but his grand-nephew, Wang Lin.
Wang Lin is his younger brother's grandson, a few years younger than his grandson Wang Jiaoyang, and is in his early twenties this year.
Even though he was in his twenties, he was still a child in Old Master Wang's eyes, not to mention that he had actually held him when he was a child.
Old Master Wang's younger brother's family wasn't as well-off as his own, but they were still his own brother, so after Old Master Wang's business took off, he also helped support his brother's family.
As for the younger brother's descendants, namely his son and grandson, they also lacked talent in business.
However, because of the family ties, although they weren't exactly wealthy, they were certainly better off than most.
In Mr. Wang's memory, after graduating from university, his grand-nephew Wang Lin did not go out to find a job on his own. Instead, his family found him a leisurely job in the city. Why would he come up the mountain late at night?
Although puzzled, Mr. Wang was not initially wary because the person was his relative.
He only realized something was wrong when he saw Wang Lin heading straight for his grave.
He was just Wang Lin's distant grandfather. If Wang Lin went up the mountain late at night to visit a grave, he should have gone to visit his own grandfather's grave. Why would he come to his own grave?
With these questions in mind, Old Master Wang began to carefully observe Wang Lin's every move, wanting to know what he was up to.
This observation turned out to be quite something, so infuriating that he almost came back to life on the spot.
Wang Lin was carrying a large bag. He walked straight to the end of the grave and took out a set of tools from the bag.
Finally, they picked up the tools and began digging his grave.
Seeing this, what else could Grandpa Wang not understand?
Wang Lin is digging his own grave!
But he believed that he had treated these younger generations and his brother's family well during his lifetime, so how could Wang Lin harbor resentment towards him to the point of digging up his grave?
At that moment, Old Master Wang was filled with anger, confusion, and sadness.
Wang Lin was clearly well-prepared, and the tools he brought up the mountain were quite professional. It didn't take him long to dig a hole in the grave, then pry open the coffin and take out the ashes.
Finally, he stuffed his ashes into his bag and hurriedly ran away, without even filling in his grave.
Old Master Wang couldn't understand why Wang Lin would do this.
Regardless of Wang Lin's reasons for stealing his ashes, the fact that he did such a thing caused Old Master Wang great distress.
This was completely beyond his previous understanding. He had never had a similar experience in all his years of life, so he really didn't know how to solve it for a while.
Does it appear in the dreams of my son and grandson?
But how could he tell them?
And after telling them, knowing the temperaments of his son and grandson, they would definitely dig three feet into the ground to find out the truth and find the person who stole his ashes.
That will definitely affect the relationship between their two families, and they may even become enemies and never speak to each other again.
This is a scene that Old Master Wang does not want to see.
Although what Wang Lin did was indeed excessive, he was still his junior and relative, and he was so young. Perhaps he had some unspeakable difficulties and hadn't quite come to terms with things, which is why he acted so irrationally.
He wanted to give him another chance.
So after considering all this, Grandpa Wang did not choose to appear in his son's and grandson's dreams to tell them that his ashes had been stolen.
He plans to think it over again to see if there is a better way that can both maintain harmony between the two families and allow his ashes to be retrieved.
Just as he was frantically trying to find a solution, hope suddenly appeared on the evening of the second day.
Because he discovered that Dog Batian was passing by his grave!
In fact, under normal circumstances, Old Master Wang would not dare to get close to Gou Batian at all.
This dog is different from ordinary dogs; it possesses a spiritual aura that naturally restrains and oppresses ghosts like him.
It's obvious at a glance that this isn't an ordinary dog, but a mythical beast!
However, at the time he wasn't sure how powerful Gou Batian was, whether he could understand human speech, or whether he could help him find the ashes and bring them back.
But under those circumstances, Gou Batian was absolutely the only person he could communicate with and contact, and who might be able to help him find his ashes.
So Old Master Wang mustered up his courage and appeared, calling out to Gou Batian.
Actually, he was a little scared when he called for Gou Batian.
His main concern was that if Gou Batian couldn't control his instincts, he might eat him.
Fortunately, Dog Batian was a kind spirit beast. Not only did it not attack him, it also listened attentively to his request.
Finally, it even nodded at him in a very human-like way and barked twice, as if to indicate that there was no problem.
Dog Batian's feedback immediately relieved Grandpa Wang and gave him more confidence that his ashes could be found.
Because Dog Batian not only has strength, but also extraordinary intelligence, as long as it is willing to help, it will definitely be able to successfully find its ashes.
After agreeing to help Old Master Wang retrieve his ashes, Gou Batian began to crawl into the hole behind his grave.
Although Grandpa Wang didn't know what it was trying to do, he firmly believed that Gou Batian must have his reasons for doing this.
Just as he was nervously waiting for Gou Batian's next move, his grandson Wang Jiaoyang came up the mountain.
Then came the scene where Wang Jiaoyang witnessed Gou Batian "digging up his grave" and, by a twist of fate, pinned the blame for the disappearance of his ashes on Gou Batian...
After Grandpa Wang finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask Wang Jiaoyang a question.
“When I asked you to do something before, eight out of ten times you would say you couldn’t hear me. How come you heard me last night when the dog barked a few times?”
The key issue is that the mountain is so far from home.
Could it be that he was faking his deafness all along?
Seeing his grandfather's suspicious look, Wang Jiaoyang coughed lightly, decisively activated his "selective deafness" skill, and turned to look angrily at Wang Lin.
"Wang Lin! My grandfather has already told the truth, are you still trying to deny it!"
"You are a heartless wretch! My grandfather treated you quite well before, didn't he? Instead of thinking about repaying him, you actually stole his ashes. You dare to do such a disrespectful thing, Wang Lin! Are you even human?!"
Not to mention Wang Jiaoyang, even the others felt a surge of anger upon hearing this.
"I knew it! It's not a holiday these days, so why did he suddenly go back to his hometown? Turns out he was going to do something so immoral!"
"And another thing, he was the one who barked the loudest this morning, constantly saying that the dog was the one who did it!"
Shifting the blame to a dog, that's really clever!
People began to criticize Wang Lin, and some even immediately took out their phones to contact Wang Lin's parents.
Now, even if Wang Lin had a thousand mouths, he couldn't explain himself.
Finally, under Wang Jiaoyang's persistent questioning, he tearfully confessed his purpose in stealing Old Master Wang's ashes.
