Chapter 437

The old Master pauses and then nods: "I will leave it to you two."

When people get old, they are always nagging, and the old Master cannot avoid this custom.

Gu Chen and Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli often just listen quietly.

【Xingqiu】: It seems the old Master really doesn't have much time left. (Sigh)

【Xiangling】: I remember... it seems that Hu Tao presided over her first funeral at thirteen, it seems it was the old Master!

【Nilou】: So the first funeral presided over by Miss Hu Tao... was her grandfather's funeral?! (Paimon? Shocked)

【Hu Tao】: That's right!

【Collei】: Ah, it's really hard to imagine what kind of mood that is... If it were me... ah, just thinking about it is super uncomfortable!!

【Tighnari】: Miss Hu Tao is not an ordinary person; having been taught the philosophy of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor since childhood, she should be able to walk out of it.

【Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli】: Let's watch slowly.

The old Master does not show signs that his time is running out on weekdays.

But all this is still noticed by little Hu Tao.

The smart and clever little Hu Tao does not directly ask her grandfather, but instead asks the two guest consultants.

"Big Guest Consultant, Second Guest Consultant, is Grandpa's body not very good?" Little Hu Tao asks.

Gu Chen and Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli look at each other.

After pondering for a moment, Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli nods: "Yes."

Little Hu Tao, who had guessed it long ago, is not surprised by this, just asks: "Can it be cured?"

"Age has reached." Gu Chen shakes his head.

Little Hu Tao is silent for a while before leaving in a low mood.

After Gu Chen and Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli watch her leave, they both sigh.

Starting from this day.

Little Hu Tao sticks to the old Master, staying with him whether he goes out or stays at home.

The old Master notices something but doesn't say anything, just happily enjoys the last time of his life with his granddaughter.

Gu Chen thinks about it and says: "We should still tell Ah Xiu about this, otherwise if that day comes suddenly, I'm afraid..."

Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli thinks about it and feels it's the same, saying: "We should prepare mentally early."

Ah Xiu is not too surprised after knowing about this.

Not to mention anything else, just by calculating the old Master's age, she already knew there would be such a day, but she didn't expect it to come so quickly.

In the blink of an eye, two months pass.

The old Master suddenly falls ill.

"Although I knew there would be such a day... I didn't expect to fall ill suddenly." The old Master laughs and teases himself.

After Gu Chen checks, he says helplessly: "The body is gradually weakening, this is from blowing too much cold wind."

According to the old Master's age, even some illnesses that are painless for young people are a difficult hurdle for him.

Ah Xiu and little Hu Tao accompany him, very worried.

"You go out first, I will talk to the old Master." Gu Chen waves his hand.

The old Master doesn't know what Gu Chen wants to say, but still lets Ah Xiu and little Hu Tao leave.

After the two go out, Gu Chen advises: "Master, there is not much time left; if you fall ill and cannot get up, this last time will all be spent on this sickbed... I know you are unwilling to prolong life, but don't you want your last time to be more decent, to see old friends, and have a proper farewell~?"

The old Master is moved upon hearing this, and finally says: "Then I will trouble you."

Gu Chen takes action immediately, and a gentle force surges into the old Master's body.

It is as if a crumbling house suddenly received powerful support.

The old Master's complexion becomes rosy again.

He immediately rolls off the bed and jumps around, saying: "Hey, it works really well!"

Seeing the old Master like this, Gu Chen laughs dumbly and then says: "About a month left, it won't exceed a month and a half."

The old Master's smile gradually subsides, and he says seriously: "The old man will cherish this period of time."

"Mm."

Gu Chen nods slightly.

The two walk out together.

Ah Xiu and little Hu Tao are amazed to see this.

But the worry in their hearts still hasn't dissipated.

"Little Tao, go, go out and play with Grandpa." The old Master smiles.

"Coming!"

Little Hu Tao nods.

One old and one young go out, and Ah Xiu asks with a worried look: "Mr. Gu Chen, Dad, he..."

"About a month, let the Master leave decently." Gu Chen says softly.

Ah Xiu is silent for a while and nods: "I understand."

Ah Xiu is very sad, but thinking that this is the old Master's last time, she puts away her emotions.

The old Master takes little Hu Tao to visit friends everywhere.

He even generously states that his time is running out.

"Old Uncle Hu, don't make this joke!" Master Mao's expression is solemn.

"Why would the old man make this joke, I'll have to invite you to take charge of the cooking then." The old Master smiles.

Master Mao sighs and says: "Okay, I will go then."

A month's time is very ample for the old Master.

For little Hu Tao and Ah Xiu, this month is very warm and very sad.

Knowing that the old Master is leaving, but not being able to show a sad expression.

The old Master actually knows it in his heart.

On this day.

The old Master says earnestly: "Little Tao, Grandpa's funeral will be handed over to you."

Little Hu Tao nods gloomily.

"This way the old man can leave with peace of mind." The old Master laughs and says: "Go, let's go drink tea with the two guest consultants!"

The old Master drinks tea with Gu Chen and Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli, and cannot help but talk about the past.

Time passes gradually.

Dusk, the time when day and night intersect.

The old Master looks at the setting sun like blood on the horizon, as if he feels his own twilight.

He is not sad, just says: "When people get old, they have to sleep early."

Gu Chen and Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli look at him more, both silent.

Little Hu Tao realizes something, opens her mouth, but still doesn't say it.

The old Master returns to the room with his hands behind his back.

Gu Chen and Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli sit in the courtyard without leaving, just waiting quietly.

The next day, early morning.

"The Master has left." Gu Chen says.

Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli looks at the tea water that has long since cooled on the table and says: "The Master's life can be considered complete."

The news of the old Master's passing spreads quickly.

Ah Xiu, who had been mentally prepared, although very sad, did not suddenly cry and collapse.

She knows that if she also collapses, little Hu Tao will have no relatives.

Little Hu Tao, who experienced life and death for the first time, wails loudly.

The girl who was doted on by her grandfather since childhood has no grandfather from today on.

According to the old Master's will, the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor held a high-standard funeral for this 75th Master, with little Hu Tao in charge of the whole process.

Little Hu Tao, only thirteen years old, handled all the affairs alone, but was able to do everything meticulously, making the funeral directors satisfied.

Gu Chen and Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli saw this, their worries dissipated, and their hearts were somewhat gratified.

The old Master was highly respected in this area.
