The tomb ghost looked up at the sky with some confusion.
The sky is bright.
Today is a rare good weather.
It was still raining heavily in the evening.
It is now a sunny and clear day.
There were noises coming from everywhere on the mountain, making the always quiet mountain forest very lively.
But......
The grave ghost lowered his head and looked at the path leading to the cemetery.
Not the slightest sound of footsteps was heard.
The air around it was so quiet that it was almost silent.
...
strangeness.
The tomb ghost tilted his head.
Why haven't you come yet?
The girl and her family...
In previous years, it came when the sky was still dark.
The sky is already so bright now.
Why haven't you come yet?
...
The tomb ghost floated into the air.
There are already humans who have arrived early and are heading down the mountain after sweeping the tomb.
It looked past these humans and towards the foot of the mountain.
There is no familiar figure.
There is no familiar car either.
The green flames on the head of the tomb ghost sway slightly in the wind.
The color is a bit dark.
...
Time passes minute by minute.
The rarely bustling mountain gradually returned to its usual quiet state.
The last human being left.
The figure of the tomb ghost is shrouded in the beautiful sunset, making it difficult to distinguish the expression on its face at this time.
The motionless tomb ghost blends into the sky behind him, like a still picture.
After a while, the dark figure started to move.
It turned back to the cemetery.
It did not sit on the tombstone, but floated in front of it.
Looking at the woman in the photo on the tombstone, it was full of doubts.
Now, isn't it today?
She will come tomorrow, right?
The woman in the photo has a gentle smile and looks at it with gentle eyebrows.
No, just look ahead, right?
The grave ghost shook his head.
How could it be like that girl, talking to itself in front of the photo?
...
The tomb ghost spun several times in the air.
Unknowingly, I sat on the tombstone for a whole day and felt that my bones were stiff.
Stretch your arms and roll your neck.
The Tomb Ghost suddenly felt refreshed.
However, when it sees the girl tomorrow, it will not smile at her.
The tomb ghost was still a little angry.
It hates waiting the most.
But the girl made it wait so many times.
snort.
next time......
The tomb ghost was stunned.
It seems that it also made the girl wait once.
That time, after hearing the girl’s calls, he felt uncomfortable and refused to go out.
It wasn't until he heard the sound of the girl's tears falling on the ground that the girl discovered its existence because of the panic.
Finally, it gave in.
So to say, cry or something... is really cunning.
...
cry......
The grave ghost reached out and touched the corners of his eyes.
Can it cry too?
It won't cry.
But, it doesn't know, can tears flow from its eyes?
It suddenly became curious.
The grave ghost frowned.
A funny expression.
Inexplicably scary...and funny.
The bulging eyes look even bigger.
......no.
The grave ghost's expression suddenly relaxed.
It bared its teeth.
Can't cry.
The tomb ghost blinked.
There was no feeling of tears at all.
By the way...what would it feel like to cry?
Ask the girl tomorrow.
I have seen her cry several times.
Not only girls, humans cry all the time too.
Especially humans in front of tombstones.
Is it because... the tomb ghost looked at the woman in the photo on the tombstone... is it because the person in the photo is no longer there?
If we are gone, there will be no way to meet...
Something doesn't seem right...there are pictures...
But there was no way to get a response.
It sees a lot of humans talking to the people in the tombstone photos.
There are old people, middle-aged people, and children.
There are women and there are men.
It even saw a group of humans coming with a dog.
The dog has been accompanying the old man in the photo.
When the elderly and children are not around.
Finally, when the old man collapsed at home, the dog ran out of the yard and called the neighbors.
Dogs react quickly.
Although the old man finally left.
But it was not like a person lying on the cold ground and then being found lifeless.
Instead, he passed away on a hospital bed, surrounded by his children.
...
I've seen that dog once.
When I visited the grave again, the only ones who came were those humans.
Then, it learned from the mouths of those humans why the dogs did not come.
The dog is dead.
Just the day after returning from that grave-sweeping trip.
It was found dead in the old man's bedroom.
Quiet and peaceful.
...
Dogs, like old people, have reached the age when it’s almost time to leave.
...
At that time, a child cried very sadly.
The old man passed away, and she originally wanted to take the dog home and raise it.
As a result, she was still immersed in the joy of her parents' agreement the night before, but the next day, the dog's death was like a big bucket of cold water poured on her head.
She was stunned.
Then, burst into tears.
Even after a year, when she came to the old man's tombstone again and mentioned this matter again, the girl still couldn't help crying.
She obviously made an agreement with the dog.
The dog will live in her home from now on.
She will take good care of the dogs very seriously.
The dog stuck out his tongue and licked her face.
She thought this meant the dog agreed.
The dog is also happy to come to her house, isn't it?
Why......
...
Her parents told her that the dog went with her grandfather.
The dog hates grandpa.
However, she also couldn’t let go of the dog...
She cried until she was out of breath.
Mom hugged her.
The gentle pats on her back slowly made her feel less uncomfortable.
She looked at her grandfather's photo on the tombstone and said with a sweet voice, but with a serious look on her face, "Grandpa, you have to be good."
"Dogs should be well too."
"Grandpa needs to take good care of the dog."
"Dogs should also take good care of grandpa."
...
The next day, before the sky was white, the tomb ghost was already sitting on the tombstone.
It looks up.
Today...it doesn't seem to be a nice sunny day.
I wonder if it will rain?
If it rains... will the girl still come?
Even if it rained before, she would still come.
But after a day of waiting yesterday, it suddenly wasn't so sure.
...
"Wow~"
The rain was pouring down.
The raindrops hit the ground, hit the tombstones, and splashed water vapor everywhere.
A hazy mist spread.
...
The grave ghost held up a big leaf and hid under the large tree with crisscrossing branches.
It can see faint figures in the distance.
There are many fewer people visiting the tomb today than yesterday.
And because of the heavy rain, many people walked down the mountain in a hurry.
...
"Huhu~"
The wind howled.
The umbrellas in human hands are blowing loudly.
There are also people who are not paying attention for a moment and let the umbrella be blown away by the wind.
The exposed face was immediately covered with water drops.
A look of panic and embarrassment on his face.
...
It is difficult to walk on mountain roads when it rains.
Full of mud.
Tomb ghosts can hear the dissatisfied complaints from the human mouths.
It raised its eyes and looked high into the sky.
The sky was dark, dark clouds were gathering, and it was raining heavily.
