The Zhang family's house had been maintained for many years, so Zhang Shouyi went directly into the Zhang family's house.
Ten people remained here, including two doctors.
Zhang Shouyi found it strange that he felt much more relaxed after arriving here.
He laughed and sat up on his own, and the doctors immediately rushed over.
"It's okay, I feel much better, don't worry."
He took out a letter and handed it to the squad leader. "Just leave one guard and one doctor to go in. The rest of you go back. This is a letter for Liu Jingze. Take it back and give it to him."
"lead?"
Zhang Shouyi raised an eyebrow. "What? You think my word doesn't count?"
"Yes, we'll leave now."
Zhang Shouyi sat in his wheelchair and watched the plane leave before he smiled.
I don't want to have to face so many people at the last moment.
Shi Tou helped Liu Maocai over.
"Old village chief, we meet again."
"Comrade, what brings you here again?"
"Hehe, I don't have many days left. I'll wait here."
“You said last time that you didn’t have much time left, but fifteen years have passed, haven’t you? You should stay in the village for a few days, and then leave as soon as you’re better.”
"Hehe, village chief, it seems you won't be able to get what you want this time."
“Stone, go home and fetch some grain.”
Zhang Shouyi stayed, much to the doctor's surprise. He thought yesterday's illness was just a temporary resurgence, but the leader was actually in much better spirits and could now get up and walk around on his own.
A week later, Zhang Shouyi was able to climb halfway up the mountain.
The guards followed behind him carrying the paper money for burning. Taking care of this kind of leader is the most troublesome; he won't let you help him and insists on walking on his own.
Finally, we arrived at the location where we witnessed the event, and only then did my heart finally settle down.
Zhang Shouyi took the bag. "You stay away. It's a 500-meter distance."
"Yes, sir."
Zhang Shouyi carried the paper bag to the Zhang family grave.
He couldn't hold on any longer. He sat in front of the grave, poured out all the paper money, took out a match, and lit it.
He added the sheets of paper to the fire one by one. "I'm coming to keep you three company too."
We'll be neighbors soon. I wonder how you're doing living here?
Haha, will you marry me in your next life? I haven't even had a woman in this life. You won't lose out by marrying me.
Although I am older than you, I don't know if I will still be older than you in the next life.
But I think I'll be good to you? Heh, all that's just empty talk. Who knows if there'll be a next life.
Zhang Shouyi laughed after he finished speaking. How incredibly boring! Sitting here chatting with someone who'd been dead for years? How lonely must he be?
After all the paper money had burned, he stood up and waved to the guards in the distance.
"lead."
"Come here, let me tell you, my grave is just ten meters away from here. You can bring people up tomorrow to prepare. I don't want any decorations, just cremate me directly, then put me in a coffin and bury me directly. No need for a tombstone, I don't need one."
"Sir, I dare not do that."
"Hehe, it's okay, I'll leave a letter, but you must promise me that you will seriously carry out what I say."
"yes."
"Alright, let's go back." Zhang Shouyi didn't want to make things difficult for the children. After walking for a while, he suddenly looked back.
Then he smiled, shook his head, and left.
When he got home, he was exhausted and knew he couldn't go on.
"Bring me paper and pen."
The two remained silent and quickly prepared a table, paper, and pen so that he could sit on the kang (a heated brick bed) and write.
Zhang Shouyi wrote a letter to Liu Jingze, instructing him not to hold any funeral rites for his descendants and to cremate him directly.
After finishing writing, he handed it to the guard and then lay down.
The doctor was startled and quickly went over to take the patient's pulse. He then gave the guard a signal, and the two quietly tidied up the table and left.
"Call the boss right now! Quick, tell him to come over immediately. We can't make it through tonight."
The guards took off running. After receiving the call, Liu Jingze immediately took the funeral clothes prepared for Zhang Shouyi and flew back.
But he ultimately didn't make it to see Zhang Shouyi one last time.
After the guard finished making the call, the two quietly entered the house. The doctor was startled and rushed over to check his pulse and then felt the artery under his neck. "He's dead."
Both of them turned pale with fright. Before they left, the leader had instructed them to notify him in advance. They never expected him to leave so quickly and peacefully.
Neither of them knew what to do. They just sat there waiting for the leader to arrive.
Looking at himself lying upright, and then at the two terrified people, Zhang Shouyi found it quite amusing. He realized that people really do have souls after they die.
He wanted to go out, but when he got to the door, he couldn't get out. Something was blocking his way.
Well, my only unfulfilled wish was to find my father's remains, but that doesn't matter anymore. Maybe I can even find my father's soul.
He stood there watching, utterly bored. Suddenly, he felt someone spying on him; it turned out to be a little girl.
"Is this Zhang Hongmei?" He waved to her.
The little girl hesitated for a moment, but still came over. She saw that it was this person who had brought her back.
"You've been here all along?"
"Um."
"Then you should know that you will marry me in your next life."
"I don't want to, you're so scary."
"If I bury you, will you not believe the Buddha's words?" In fact, Zhang Shouyi had no such intention; he was just bored and wanted to tease her.
"Then I won't marry you. I want to stay with my parents. I'll find a way to repay your kindness."
"So how do you plan to pay me back? I'm just missing a wife."
"How about I find you a wife?"
"But I just like looking like you."
"Then I'll give my body to her. Anyway, I will never be with you. I want my parents."
"But I don't believe you."
"Then I swear, I will definitely give you a wife, and I will also give you my body."
As soon as she finished speaking, a clap of thunder sounded outside. The little girl seemed to know something, and she smiled and waved to Zhang Shouyi. He didn't hear what she was saying at all, and he just saw the little girl's figure slowly disappear.
Zhang Shouyi grinned; it turned out that the soul really could disappear.
He didn't take the girl's words to heart at all. He just found it funny, wondering if he would disappear like that too.
Now that there's no one to chat with, I can only sit there bored and stare blankly.
This means that she can only be buried after Liu Jingze returns.
Upon seeing Liu Jingze enter, Zhang Shouyi smiled, finally able to rest in peace.
