The doubt in the old man's eyes quickly faded, and a hint of surprise quickly rose from the bottom of his eyes.
"Xiaoxiao! Why is it you?! Why are you here?!"
The old man wanted to reach out to help Long Xiaoxiao, but found that his hands passed through her body.
"What's going on?"
The old man looked at his hands in surprise. Everything he saw was exactly the same as that of a human. There was no change in the skin color, except that they were a little transparent.
"Transparent! Yes, I'm already dead, why am I here again?"
"That's right, you're already dead. You only appear as a spirit now. You only have three hours left. Once that time is up, you will dissipate again between heaven and earth."
"Who are you? Why are you with Xiaoxiao?" the old man asked puzzledly.
“Grandpa, they are my relatives. It was Uncle Chu who helped you show up.”
The old man immediately bowed to express his gratitude, then smiled and said to Long Xiaoxiao:
"Xiaoxiao, I feel relieved to see that you have a good place to go."
"Grandpa, but Xiaoxiao misses you very much. I really want to see you and live with you."
The old man shook his head upon hearing this, "Xiaoxiao, I'm not your grandfather, and you're not my granddaughter."
Long Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head, "No, you are Xiaoxiao's grandpa, and you will always be Xiaoxiao's dear grandpa!"
The old man sighed helplessly and decided to tell her his life story, "Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry, I don't know anything about your parents."
When the old man had avenged his great hatred, he himself was seriously injured and dying by the enemy. When he passed by this small mortal town, he could no longer hold on and had to settle here.
He had already spent everything he had, not even a single spirit stone left, so he had to go out and beg for a living.
During one of his begging sessions, he was about to end his life.
But I heard a baby crying in a garbage dump.
He didn't want to pay attention to it at the time, but he went back for some unknown reason.
The moment I picked up Long Xiaoxiao, I looked at her big eyes, which were bright without a trace of impurities, blinking.
He felt that they were destined to be together and decided to adopt her immediately.
But he discovered that Long Xiaoxiao had no talent for cultivation and was born useless.
But when he thought of himself, the old man couldn't help but laugh at himself.
"Trash with trash, it's quite fitting."
From then on, he dragged his broken body around the city begging.
Of course, they would also be bullied by other beggars during this period.
But he is a cultivator after all, and even when he is dying, he cannot be bullied by ordinary people.
As time passed, Long Xiaoxiao grew up day by day and gradually looked like a girl, so he deliberately dressed Long Xiaoxiao as a boy.
This would save her a lot of trouble and make her life easier.
And his body also reached its limit.
During that time when Long Xiaoxiao was out, he quietly passed away.
After hearing about her life story, Long Xiaoxiao did not show much emotion.
All she cared about was her grandfather, and only her grandfather.
She can neither hate nor forgive her parents who cruelly abandoned her.
In short, it’s dispensable.
Outside the lonely grave, Chu Chen and the other two had already stepped out of that space.
The limited time was left entirely to the two of them.
"Madam, if they saw this, would they be frightened and run away?"
Leng Qingxue sighed when she heard this: "The ghost in the eyes of others is actually the person they long to see."
Chu Chen looked dazed, "Yes, the things others fear are the things others desire but cannot obtain."
"Husband, how about we..."
Chu Chen shook his head, "I've already asked, and he doesn't want to."
"Unwilling? Why?" Leng Qingxue asked puzzledly.
"His only regret is Long Xiaoxiao. Now that Long Xiaoxiao has found a good home, he has completely let go and is relieved."
Long Xiaoxiao's grandfather has avenged his death, and he no longer has any blood relatives in the world. He has worked hard for revenge all his life.
He felt that it was time for him to take a good rest.
His wife, children and parents are still waiting for him to reunite.
Leng Qingxue worriedly said, "If Xiaoxiao knew, she would be very sad and heartbroken."
Chu Chen fell silent, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Although the old man told him that he would enlighten Long Xiaoxiao on his own, he felt helpless because he had the ability but could not do it.
The time we spend together is always short.
As the old man's soul dissipated again, Long Xiaoxiao did not cry or make a fuss, but just sat in front of the tombstone for a long time.
As the last rays of sunset faded away, Long Xiaoxiao stood up, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and walked towards Chu Chen and the others.
When the beggar saw the three grown men standing in front of the tombstone for a long time, neither bowing nor offering sacrifices, the dissatisfaction in his eyes became even stronger.
"You guys are really something, you're here but you don't kowtow and pay your respects?"
"Just standing here for a while and thinking of calling it a day?"
Chu Chen smiled at the beggar, waved his hand and the three of them disappeared.
The beggar was stunned and rubbed it carefully to confirm.
When I found that there were really no three people there, I immediately understood what was going on.
"I don't know who you are, Senior. I am too blind to recognize you. Please forgive me!"
The beggar knelt on the ground for a long time without receiving any response, so he bravely looked up and found nothing unusual.
The beggar curled his lips helplessly. It was better for him to leave. As long as he was not seeking revenge, it was none of his business.
The beggar reached out to grab the wine gourd, but heard a "bang" sound.
Countless drinks were splashed on his hands and body.
