Already far away from the villages and towns and entering the surrounding mountains and forests, I was already out of breath from exhaustion. The red-faced legs were trembling, which added to the weight of Grandpa's master on his back.

It’s no wonder that if someone is asked to carry the weight of an adult on his back, running almost all night, climbing high and risking his life into the mountains and forests, how many people will be able to speak out calmly and without shame?

Fortunately, I have been under his meticulous teachings since I was a child, and I have a quick mind and a strong body. Otherwise, I would have fallen down from exhaustion long ago.

Master Grandpa has passed away. He died just the day before yesterday. He was still chatting and laughing in front of me and it seemed that he died without any illness.

At that time, the two of us were still chatting in the house after dinner. Strangely enough, Master Grandpa seemed to be much more awake and shrewd than usual that night. He always said some obscure words, and then said he was tired and wanted to go back to the house to rest.

Unexpectedly, that night turned out to be a farewell without any warning. When the call came in the early morning of the next day, Master Grandpa's body was already stiff and cold, and his breath was gone.

In addition to being amazed, he also said that"people are already at a high level, and the sun will rise soon."

Also, he is already eighty years old, and he usually does not suffer from any hidden diseases and pains. He can be regarded as a crane wandering around after spending his old age.

As early as a few days ago, he, who was still in good health, personally led me to the deep mountains and old forests for the last time. He also brought hoes and shovels with him, and he blatantly interacted with the patrolling and forestry personnel along the way, avoiding the inevitable. After chatting and registering, we entered the forest talking and laughing as usual.

The village we live in is at the foot of the mountain behind us. On weekdays, many villagers go into the mountain to dig holes and plant plants. This is an understandable act and will naturally not cause gossip among the rangers who know each other..

However, this time we went into the mountain to find a cemetery. According to my grandfather, it was for us to use after we ascend to heaven in a few days. We also had to remember that we must not be cremated.

Will he"find the dragon's cave"? When did I actually have such ability and I didn’t even know it? Isn't that just rhetoric? While I laughed secretly in my heart, I was too lazy to speak to him.

We walked almost straight and deep, and finally found what he called the ideal tomb in a remote place in the deep mountains and dense forests where no human beings had ever visited. Then he asked me to dig a hole and work without explanation.

Since all countries now have a cremation system, the previous burial system is no longer allowed, so our move can only be carried out blatantly and secretly in broad daylight.

In order to find this remote and deep place, we spent a whole day going back and forth, and it was already midnight when we came back.

And now I had to carry my grandfather on my back and sneak around the possible inspection routes of the rangers late at night the next day. Naturally, it took a lot of effort before I entered the mountain forest exhausted both physically and mentally.

According to Grandpa’s master’s will, as long as he is buried in his cemetery and everyone he meets again says it’s a distant relative, then everything will be fine. But, the way forward is up to me to walk on my own.

Thinking about it, it is inevitable that sadness will arise in my heart. In addition to bursts of sadness, my heart is also mixed with some sadness.

Master Grandpa and I are not locals. We just heard Master Grandpa say that when he was still young, he traveled around with him and then settled here.

I don’t know how Grandpa got the residence in the village from the original villagers. My own life experience is also a mystery, and he has not told me in detail so far.

In just a few words, I only knew that I was an orphan and lived with my grandfather and master, that's all.

Sigh...it doesn't seem to be the case. In my already vague memory, it seems that there are still a few uncles who have only met each other a few times, who had been intimate with me when I was a toddler and young child.

However, that was a very distant thing, and I doubted whether the memory was real like a mirage.

I remember asking my grandfather before, but he just smiled and was noncommittal.

But Master Grandpa is really very good to me, he is as loving as a grandfather and as strict as a master, so I call him Master Grandpa with love and hate.

The mountains and forests behind the village are naturally high mountains and dense forests, stretching as far as the eye can see. And once you enter the mountains and dense forests, it means climbing up and taking risks.

To be honest, if I were allowed to go into the dense mountains and forests so late at night for no reason, I would not go there even if I were killed.

Not to mention Lin Shimi's loneliness, what if demons, monsters or ghosts appear out of thin air? Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps all over my body.

Regarding this matter, I once talked to my grandfather and master before he was alive. I remember that he just smiled at that time, uh no, he should have laughed and cursed:"You brat, you are so cowardly, what will you do in the future?"……"

However, after that day, he solemnly handed me a golden talisman, saying that it was a vital amulet that could protect against evil spirits and should be kept carefully and properly without any carelessness.

The handwriting on the talisman was so illegible that I couldn't recognize it at all. I don't know if it was passed down by someone from the previous generation or if it was made by my grandfather's master.

But he still followed his instructions and made a small cotton brocade bag. While he looked at each other closely, he wrapped the talismans airtightly with a small piece of plastic wrap before carefully stuffing them into the brocade bag. , and was wrapped with a red thread and hung on the chest.

The village is being renovated and demolished, and all private houses are included in it, which belongs to the whole village relocation.

The old and dilapidated house that my grandpa and my master lived in has also limited its final time. It is just a few days before the third batch of relocations. And according to what my grandpa and his master said, almost all the people in the village he wants to move have moved. , he passed away peacefully.

Thinking about it at this time, I wonder if Master Grandpa had foresight or just the right time. Although I know that he has some abilities, it is difficult to say.

Just now, I had to take a detour to avoid someone who might be able to gain insight into the situation. I was already quite exhausted both physically and mentally.

But it was much better now. Although the road up the mountain was quite steep, it was better than the bumpy ride just now, and since it was late at night, there should be no more people in the forest at this time.

On the mountain road under the clear moonlight, the figure I projected on it can still be clearly seen. However, because he was carrying one person on his back, the figure on the mountain path looked a bit fat.

There is wind in the mountains and forests tonight, and it is quite strong, which naturally causes the wind and grass on the mountain forest roads to flutter, the shadows of trees to dance, and the chirping of insects and birds in late summer and early autumn, adding a lot of eerie and eerie feeling to the quiet mountains and forests.
