Lin Atai suppressed a laugh, finding it quite amusing to see her friend get the short end of the stick.
“Nonsense, I have good karma, how could I be so unlucky…” Wang Atai himself was not sure either.
Her eyelids twitched as she thought of the foreigners she had met at the port.
Lin Ziyan shrugged. "See? You're not sure either."
Wang Atai, "..."
Her silence was deafening, as if she were silently refuting someone, her eyes narrowing.
After a moment, Lin Atai broke the silence, "Have you decided whether you'll kick with your left leg or your right leg after you die?"
Wang Atai waved his hand, "It doesn't matter anymore, it's going to kick anyway, I guess it'll be like my leg suddenly lifting up in the middle of the night."
Lin Atai laughed out loud, and finally burst into laughter.
Lin Ziyan had never seen her grandmother laugh so heartily before, and suddenly felt a little nervous.
Wang Atai was still thinking about reincarnation and had no time to pay attention to her.
After Lin Atai stopped laughing, she finally understood what she had been thinking.
"No, Lin girl, if I were to die in these next few years, I'd have to be born in China. You almost got me stuck on this nonsense." Wang Atai slapped his thigh hard.
"Hey, why did you slap my thigh?" Lin Atai glared at her.
Lin Ziyan pursed her lips, trying hard to suppress her laughter.
Next, the two grandmothers started arguing, and she listened, resting her chin on her hand.
They're almost two hundred years old combined, how come they act like children?
Wang Atai's mouth, just as Atai said, is like a razor's edge, every word hitting the nail on the head.
"Tell me, I was supposed to die after you, but because of this, I have to die sooner."
"It seems my foresight in joining the tour group in advance was quite good. I'll leave you a note along the way after I've scouted the route, so you won't be running around like a headless fly," Wang Atai muttered, as if it were an ordinary matter.
The older people get, the more afraid they are of death; it's a deep-seated fear of the unknown.
But coming from Wang Atai, it sounded like she was talking about going on a trip, just in a different way to travel to another place.
Lin Atai said, "Isn't this giving you a chance to show your talent? Otherwise, I'm afraid your talent will be wasted."
Wang Atai twitched his mouth and said, "No, you don't need to prove my talent with your life."
"Without desires, one is not disturbed by them."
"In my opinion, you should leave the matter of the Wei family ancestral hall alone. They have their own destiny, and these are all the results of their choices."
"If they had restrained Wei Er's family earlier, such a disaster would not have happened."
Lin Ziyan was shocked. She knew about this too?
The villagers only knew that Grandma went to perform a ritual, but few people knew the specifics of what she did.
The village also kept the news under wraps, mainly because they couldn't bear the shame.
Lin Atai, "You make it sound so easy, but can you actually do it?"
They know that there is a huge gap between saying and doing.
Wang Atai curled her lip, "Then why are you meddling in the other children's affairs? Let those who should leave go, what are you reluctant to let go of?"
"Your little granddaughter won't be seriously injured even without your help, why did you have to shield her with your own body?"
Lin Ziyan thought to herself, "Just as I thought, there's a reason why Grandma has aged so much all of a sudden."
Lin Atai sighed, "I can't protect them for many more years."
"Didn't you say you were going to cut ties with me? How come you've come here on wheels?"
Wang Atai glared at her but didn't say anything.
Both of them were at an age where every meeting was one less opportunity to see each other, and she was too lazy to bring up these old stories with her old friend.
She came whenever she wanted, so what?
If she wasn't given food, she would sit on the floor of the ward and eat dried sweet potatoes, which would last her for a day or two.
Grandma Lin got out of bed, patted her striped hospital gown, and frowned.
"Go back to the village, go back to the village. Lying down for another day is a waste of time."
Wang Atai raised an eyebrow and looked at Lin Ziyan, "Lin girl, is food provided?"
"Guan, shall we go to a hotel for a fancy meal?"
Grandma Wang waved her hand, "Just a bowl of noodles will do. Why bother with a big meal? You don't want to have to spend the whole night squatting in the toilet when you get home."
Lin Ziyan's lips twitched slightly. Seeing that the smile in her grandmother's eyes had deepened, she sighed inwardly.
Ah Tai's old friend was indeed special; just like her, her appetite was extremely low.
When the ward door opened again,
Lin Atai had changed back into her own clothes and stood with Wang Atai, trying to straighten her back as much as possible.
Lin Ziyan glanced at them silently. "Even in old age, they're still stubborn?"
Lu Yun Shen looked at her questioningly, as if to ask what this meant? Discharge from the hospital?
"Yun Shen, let's go eat a bowl of noodles at the hospital entrance, and then go home." After saying that, Lin Atai and Wang Atai walked towards the stairwell.
The people outside the door exchanged glances, their eyes filled with disbelief.
The chubby girl followed, carrying a cloth bag…
When Lu Yunshen checked out of the hotel suite and sat in the car, the two grandmothers in the back seat were arguing with each other.
Lin Ziyan sat in the passenger seat, glanced back, and raised an eyebrow.
She felt that her grandmother seemed to have had a change of heart and had become much more cheerful.
Grandma Lan sat with them and got quite animated as they chatted.
"You don't know, the old man next door to me lay in the ancestral hall for half a month, but he didn't die. He could only waddle home. When he got to his doorstep, the veins on his forehead were bulging. He was obviously furious. I was sitting at my doorstep laughing so hard my stomach hurt." Wang Atai said gossipingly, in a mysterious tone.
Lin Atai chimed in, "Why didn't you let me go see? Who doesn't like watching a show?"
Grandma Lan joined in, asking, "When does your group organize activities?"
Lu Yunshen, "..."
Lin Ziyan, "..."
Wang Atai continued telling the story, "He stayed at home for two days, and was eventually carried to the ancestral hall by his grandson in a rattan chair. As soon as he entered, he kicked his right foot and was gone."
Grandma Lin grabbed a handful of melon seeds and listened with great interest.
Grandma Lan also started eating sunflower seeds.
Grandma Wang then told several more stories, including one about someone who said one day that they had a tough life, only to be carried to the ancestral hall the next day.
Some people sigh all day long, wishing they could die soon, but they wait for several years and still haven't died.
Some people made repeated trips to the ancestral hall, but in the end, they didn't even pass away, and were instead blamed by their grandchildren.
"..."
Lin Ziyan and Lu Yunshen listened to all the gossip along the way, and they felt that the world was truly full of wonders.
Wang Atai concluded by saying, "If the King of Hell wants you to leave at midnight, who dares to keep you until dawn?"
"In the end, it's all about fate, and there's no need to worry about it all the time."
Lin Atai glanced at her, his pupils dilating slightly.
"It's been a whole day; this is the key point Wang Pozi wanted to make."
Lin Ziyan could also hear it, and a warm current seemed to flow through her heart.
Grandma Lan, "Do you still tell fortunes?"
Wang Atai nodded, leaned back in his chair, and smiled meaningfully.
The person in front of me seemed to be surrounded by a golden glow; such good fortune is not something everyone possesses.
Grandma Lin closed her eyes to rest and didn't continue chatting with them.
"You don't need to have your fate told. You've already been protected from disasters, so there's nothing to worry about." Wang Atai glanced at Lu Yunshen in the driver's seat, her eyes flashing.
The malevolent energy was very strong and was getting stronger.
The next disaster will probably be even worse...
