Chapter 259 Suspended death, for the paper figurine
Inside the wooden box is a thick stack of red leather notebooks and some lists.
Su Keke was a little confused when she saw the words "real estate certificate" on the red book.
"Master has accumulated a lot of savings over the years by telling fortunes and catching ghosts. Unfortunately, Master is poor and does not have this blessing, so Master spent all the money on buying a house. Here are the property certificates for twenty houses.
There are three sets in the Imperial City, and the rest are in various places across the country. Except for the newly purchased set in the Imperial City, the others were bought in the early years. They are all in the best locations, closest to the cave center.
Now, all these houses have been transferred to your name. When you get tired of staying in the imperial capital, you can change places. Master used to be poor and when he was running around, he slept in the open and in beggars' nests. Master doesn't want you to be like this."
"Master..." Su Keke pushed the things aside and cried bitterly, "I don't want it, I don't want it, I just want Master!"
"Keke, be obedient. Master will leave sooner or later, now is just a step early."
Su Keke stepped forward, lay down in front of him and cried loudly and asked: "Master, tell me, did I hurt you? I want to avenge Master!"
"Are you as powerful as your master? They can even scheme against your master. What can you do if you find out? You can only die."
Su Keke sniffed and said, "Tell me, I'll take a small notebook and write it down first. When I learn what I can do, I'll go find them for revenge. I promise Master, I won't be impulsive."
Old Man Su shook his head: "When it's your turn to know, you will naturally know."
Su Keke opened his mouth and wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by the old man. He said: "Keke, my master was afraid that you would kill me before, so you were not allowed to call me grandpa, but now my master is leaving soon, so you can
Call me grandpa, master wants to hear it."
When Su Keke heard this, he knelt down on the ground without hesitation and kowtowed three times to him, "Grandpa!"
"Okay, good boy, grandpa has not loved you in vain all these years."
Old man Su said with a satisfied expression: "Listen to me, the things in grandpa's box will be left to you. After I leave, you don't have to find any feng shui treasure land for me, just bury me on Peach Blossom Mountain. I'll be buried there for two days."
It has been dug secretly, right under the peach tree that you planted when you were a child. There is no need to put the body in the coffin. You can just put me in it and fill it with soil. I have also prepared the tombstone in advance."
Su Keke looked at him with a pair of red and swollen eyes, "When did you prepare it? You already knew that you were in trouble, but you didn't tell me?"
"Master was afraid that you would be sad if you found out, so that's why he didn't tell you."
"But Master, I am even more sad now."
"Keke, in Master's heart, you have always been a strong child. You must take good care of yourself in the future. Remember what Master just said. I am a little breathless now. Please quickly repeat what Master just told you.
"
Su Keke was sobbing and couldn't hold back her tears. "Master said that faces cannot be trusted. Except for those who are destined to get married, the Jun family, Aunt Mo and Uncle Zhuang, no one else can be trusted easily..."
Old Man Su nodded while listening, "Yes, that's right, but you missed one point. We are not stupid, we are very smart. We are the smartest children Master has ever seen. But you are not very experienced in the world and can easily be plotted. Master
After you leave, you can go find your Aunt Mo, I will rest assured that she will take care of you."
Old man Su seemed to feel something was wrong when he said this, and immediately shook his head, "Forget it, it's better not to look for her. It's rare for your Aunt Mo to live a peaceful life, so it's better not to bother her. You go find her."
"Master, I don't want to find anyone, I just want to protect Master."
"My child, if you say such things again, you just want Master to die in peace."
"I didn't." Su Keke broke down and cried, "I just want to spend more time with Master!"
"You have been with Master for a long enough time. The remaining time is your own. I thought about it and you should find your destined marriage. He is precious and has the ability to protect you."
Su Keke bit her lips tightly and held back a sentence for a long time: "Master, I can take care of myself."
"Oh, forget it, you can make up your own mind when you grow up. When I go, you can bury Master on Peach Blossom Mountain. Don't make too big a fuss. You know Master will live in poverty in his life.
Don’t use anything well, just keep everything simple.”
The old man patted her hand and said, "Keke, take good care of yourself and study hard..." xdw8
As he spoke, Old Man Su's voice became smaller and softer, his head tilted slightly, his hand holding Su Keke suddenly loosened, and he breathed his last, never opening his eyes again.
"Master! Master!"
Su Keke hugged his body and cried bitterly. She cried until her throat became hoarse and her eyes almost went blind, but she still refused to let go of him.
She has no relatives, but her master adopted her and not only raised her, but also taught her her skills. The master is the person closest to her.
But now, the master is gone, and she is really only... alone.
Su Keke sat blankly in front of her master's body for two hours and cried bitterly for two hours before she finally accepted the fact that her master had left her.
She found the peach tree she had planted. As expected, the master had dug a hole under the tree. Next to it was a simple tombstone made of wood, which read: Tomb of Su Yueshan. Even the person who erected the monument did not write it.
The master was thoughtful and had the shovel ready and placed it with the tombstone.
These days, she has been busy learning what her master taught her. Little did she know that her master had already arranged everything without her knowing it.
Su Keke gently put Old Man Su's body into the pit. He did not use the shovel to fill the pit with soil. Instead, he used his own hands to scatter handfuls of soil into the pit until the loess submerged his facial features.
She could no longer see that face, disgusting, scolding, loving...a face full of wrinkles but extremely cute.
After finishing everything, she knelt down in front of the tomb. When the moon was above the middle, her legs were numb, and she couldn't see the words on the tombstone clearly, she got up and staggered away.
Darkness enveloped everything, and the grave stood alone in the night wind.
I don’t know how long it took, but the new soil that had just been filled suddenly began to stir, and the movement became louder and louder.
Suddenly, a hand covered in soil stretched out from the soil and reached out hard.
At the end, the grave mounds piled up not long ago suddenly fell apart, and a living person crawled out of the grave.
The old man Su, who was covered in dirt, beat his chest and complained: "Smelly girl, if you don't leave, the old man will be suffocated to death even if he is not dead."
Old Man Su took a few deep breaths and took out a small paper figure from his pocket. On the back of the paper figure was written his own birth date and a drop of his blood.
The little paper figurine was set on fire, and Old Man Su buried the burning ashes in the soil, and then re-stacked the damaged grave, trying to restore it to its original state.
The paper man was buried here. In this way, he would not be afraid of anyone checking his fate.
Su Yueshan stood on the mountain, looking at the distant north, with a trace of hatred in his eyes.
How could he deceive those people if he didn't fake his death once? From now on, he could rest assured to do what he wanted to do. He couldn't avenge the Ji family on his own, but at least he had to help Coco get back what originally belonged to her.
