A Hundred-Year Agreement Between You and Me
"Grandma."
Qiu Lin called out softly towards the yard several times, but there was no response.
Qiu Lin panicked immediately, worried that something might happen to her great-grandmother. "Miss Fu, my great-grandmother..."
"Why are you panicking? Your grandmother didn't hurt any of you, so she won't hurt anyone else either."
Qiu Lin's great-grandmother would never hurt anyone, so Qiu Lin doesn't need to panic.
"I, I was anxious for a moment."
Qiu Lin was worried that if his great-grandmother went out and hurt someone, Fu Qingsu would beat her to death.
Fu Qing walked around the yard and finally sat down on the stone bench in the pavilion. "Old man, everyone who comes is a guest. It is not the right way to treat guests if you don't come out to welcome them from afar."
Qiu Lin and Meng Junjie looked around the yard, looking for their great-grandmother.
"When guests come to my house, of course I have to prepare tea and snacks to entertain them."
The curtain hanging in the kitchen was lifted, and the person who came out was Qiu Lin's great-grandmother. She was holding a plate in both hands, on which were placed tea and cakes.
The grandmother's steps were noticeably stiff. Qiu Lin's eyes reddened as he strode briskly to her side, forcing a smile. "Grandma, I'll take care of this."
He snatched the plate from the grandmother's hand and brought it to the stone table in the pavilion.
Seeing the snow-white cloud cake in the plate, which was Qiu Lin’s favorite, his grandmother was still thinking about his favorite food at this time.
Qiu Lin's tears fell like big beads on the stone table.
Seeing Qiu Lin crying, Fu Qingsu spoke to the grandmother who had just sat down, "You grandson, you may be a little stupid, but you are a very filial child."
The great-grandmother likes to hear people praise her grandchildren, "Don't look at Qiu Lin as naughty, Qiu Lin is a very good child."
When talking about Qiu Lin, the great-grandmother became more and more excited. No one interrupted her, but listened quietly. The more Qiu Lin listened, the harder he cried. Meng Junjie handed him a tissue and asked him to wipe the tears from his face.
"Oh! I can't stop talking once I start." Great-grandmother has a bad habit. Once she talks about her grandchildren, she likes to talk nonstop.
Fu Qingsu took a sip of tea and didn't mind at all, "All old people are like this."
Fu Qingsu paused and continued speaking.
"Old lady, you are already dead. This world does not belong to you. You should not stay in this world."
People who have died should not continue to stay in this world. This place does not belong to them. They should go to the underworld.
"Miss Fu, are you a Taoist priest? Are you here to capture me?" Grandma said calmly, her eyes falling on Fu Qingsu.
"Neither, but it won't be good for anyone if you continue to stay in the human world."
Fu Qingsu is not a heavenly master, nor is he here to capture the old lady. He just wants to resolve her obsession and let her return to the underworld.
"Miss Fu, it's not that I don't want to go to the underworld. I want to wait for my lover. If I leave, my lover won't be able to find me when he comes back."
It’s not that the old lady doesn’t want to leave, but that she wants to wait for someone.
So the old lady refused to leave here, and even after her death her soul refused to leave her body.
She has to wait for her lover to come back. If she leaves, what will her lover do when he comes back and can't find her? So she can't leave.
You can’t go to the underworld yet.
"Grandma, he died a long time ago. Why did you keep waiting for him?"
Qiu Lin didn't understand why he was waiting for someone who had already died.
"Then I'll wait for Dingxun too. Dingxun said he would come to pick me up and walk across the Naihe Bridge together."
"He has always been a man of his word. Since he promised me, I believe he will come back."
Even if he went to the underworld, he had to wait until Lu Dingxun took him there and walked across the Naihe Bridge together.
She believed that Lu Dingxun would keep his promise and come to pick her up.
"Grandma, why are you being so mean? Lu Dingxun's last letter to you was asking you to get married, have children, and live a peaceful life. He didn't ask you to wait for him."
The last letter Lu Dingxun sent to the old lady was to ask his great-grandmother to get married and have children instead of living a lonely life.
"Ding Xun sacrificed himself for the country. In order to prevent me from being alone and helpless, he chose to write a last letter to persuade me to forget him, live a good life, choose a good person, and live a happy life."
"But A-Lin, I can't do it. I can't do it."
The old lady knew what Lu Dingxun meant, but she couldn't do it.
She could not forget that Lu Dingxun married another person and had children.
"You've spent your whole life waiting for someone who's long since died. Now that you're dead, why can't you let go?"
For Lu Dingxun, the old lady, a twenty-year-old girl, spent her whole life waiting for a man who died early to come and pick her up.
Even after death, she still stubbornly waited for him.
Thinking of what he had seen and heard during this period, Fu Qingsu couldn't help but sigh, "You waited for him in the human world, have you ever thought that Lu Dingxun has already been reincarnated?"
She just waited foolishly, waiting during her lifetime and waiting after her death. Maybe Lu Dingxun had already been reincarnated.
I had forgotten her long ago.
"No, before Ding Xun went to battle, he and I agreed that no matter who died first, we would walk across the Naihe Bridge together. I haven't seen Ding Xun yet, so I must wait for him."
Whatever they agree on, both he and she will do.
Even if it takes her a lifetime, even if it eventually disappears, the old lady will have no regrets.
"You two shouldn't have fallen in love. He's ruined your life. Lu Dingxun is a bastard."
He clearly knew that it was the Air Force and that he was very likely to be killed in action, but he still fell in love with his great-grandmother, which caused her all her life suffering and even made her restless after her death.
"Why do you scold my grandfather?"
A girl suddenly rushed out and pushed Qiu Lin hard. Qiu Lin had no time to do anything and fell heavily to the ground.
"oops!"
Qiu Lin fell heavily to the ground.
"Qiu Lin, are you okay?" Meng Junjie quickly squatted down to check on Qiu Lin's condition.
The girl glared at Qiu Lin fiercely, completely unaware of the look in Fu Qingsu's eyes when he saw her.
Isn’t this girl the girl in the flower shop that day?
At that time, Fu Qingsu smelled the scent of the living dead from the girl. So that's why she knew Qiu Lin's great-grandmother. No wonder she had the scent on her.
"Lu Xinran, you are crazy."
Qiu Lin was already being pushed around for no reason, and since Lu Xinran was Lu Dingxun's relative, he became even angrier.
"Who told you to scold my grandfather?"
Her great-grandfather died for his country, and he is not someone a bastard like Qiu Lin can scold.
"What's wrong with me scolding him? Your great-grandfather ruined my great-grandmother's life."
Lu Xinran was stunned. "I'm telling you, if I hear you scold my grandfather again, I won't forgive you."
Lu Dingxun is actually the uncle of Lu Xinran’s grandfather, just like great-grandmother is the aunt of Qiu Lin’s grandfather.
"Okay, stop arguing. I'm tired of arguing as soon as we meet!"
Qiu Lin and Lu Xinran quarreled every time they met, which gave grandma a headache every time.
"Your name is Lu Xinran." Fu Qingsu's words caused Lu Xinran to look at Fu Qingsu with curiosity.
"I'm Lu Xinran, you know me."
Lu Xinran had no impression of Fu Qingsu in her memory.
"I don't know him."
Fu Qingsu naturally didn't know Lu Xinran.
But Fu Qingsu's next words made Lu Xinran wary of Fu Qingsu, "The old lady must have died a long time ago. You know the old lady died a long time ago."
It seems that Lu Xinran should have known that the old lady had been dead for a long time.
"What? Why didn't Lu Xinran notify us?" Qiu Lin was shocked.
Lu Xinran might have felt guilty at first, but Qiu Lin kept provoking her, which made her irritable and she lost her temper.
"Why should I tell you?"
"I won't tell you." Lu Xinran deliberately angered Qiu Lin.
Great-grandmother smiled, as she was used to them quarreling as soon as they met.
"Stop making noise, or I'll throw you out."
Fu Qingsu got a headache from the noise.
Qiu Lin immediately didn't dare to speak, for fear of making Fu Qingsu angry. Lu Xinran didn't continue to quarrel with Qiu Lin, and kept thinking in her heart that Qiu Lin was afraid of the woman in front of him.
"Old lady, Qiu Lin asked me to help you go to the underworld and wait for reincarnation."
Fu Qingsu told the old lady what Qiu Lin had asked him to do.
Grandma's expression was as if she had known everything for a long time. "I knew. As soon as you entered the yard, I knew you were here to see me."
From the moment Fu Qingsu stepped into the yard, grandma already knew that Fu Qingsu came for her.
"Old lady, you have an obsession that prevents you from entering the underworld. After a certain period of time, it will naturally disappear. Do you understand?"
"I know, but I have to wait for Dingxun to come back." Grandma knew, but she had to wait for Lu Dingxun.
"Grandma."
Qiu Lin was so anxious that he was jumping up and down. Why did his grandmother insist on waiting when she knew everything?
"You are lying. You want to trick grandma into leaving." Lu Xinran glared at Fu Qingsu angrily.
"Xinran, you can't be rude to Miss Fu."
Grandma didn't allow Lu Xinran to be rude to Fu Qingsu.
"Grandma, I'm doing this to prevent you from being deceived by her."
The woman with the surname Fu is a liar, and Lu Xinran doesn't want her grandmother to be cheated.
Lu Xinran grabbed her grandmother's hand and said, "Grandma, it doesn't matter if you never return to the underworld."
Fu Qingsu just chuckled when he heard this. "The old lady has an ice bead on her body that can keep her body from decaying. The person who gave you the ice bead didn't tell you that there is a time when the soul will dissipate."
Fu Qingsu had long known that there were ice beads on her great-grandmother's body.
Ice beads, if their name is true, are as cold as ice and bitingly cold.
If a living person holds it, it's no different from holding an ice cube.
Ice beads have always been used on the dead to keep the body from decaying.
"How do you know about ice beads?"
Why did Fu Qingsu know about Bingzhu? She didn’t say anything.
"What don't I know?" Fu Qingsu asked with a smile.
Lu Xinran opened her mouth, but was speechless for a moment.
Then she thought of what Fu Qing said about lying to her.
"She wouldn't lie to me."
Lu Xinran murmured softly, but Fu Qingsu heard it clearly.
"She did lie to you."
That ghost deceived Lu Xinran.
