Lin Yiran beat three eggs into the noodles, and when they were cooked, he scooped them all out in a large bowl and sat on the table to eat.

The big frog crawled in, and he picked up a boiled egg and threw it into the frog's mouth.

The big frog was so scalded that it immediately spit out the eggs.

And scolded him: "Wow wow wow!"

Lin Yiran saw that it was burned and smiled: "Did you get burned? Sorry, sorry. I'll let it cool down before giving it to you next time."

The big frog lay on the ground, blew at the egg that fell on the ground, and then rolled the egg into its mouth with its tongue.

After Lin Yiran sat at the table and ate and drank his fill, he habitually put the basin on the table.

As soon as he has eaten, he becomes lazy and doesn't want to do anything.

So I like to put the dishes and other things on the table and wash them later.

But ever since Zhu Yu started helping him wash the dishes, he rarely washed the dishes himself.

After eating, Lin Yiran walked to the mourning hall next door to burn incense. Looking at the altar which had nothing on it except incense sticks and spirit lamps, he thought about it thoughtfully.

Should we also prepare some offerings for our grandparents?

There is nothing here.

He walked out of the mourning hall, stood at the door, looked at Zhu Yu and said, "Zhu Yu, did you forget to prepare some food for grandpa and grandma? Make them two bowls of noodles. Let them have a full meal before sending them away."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yu turned his head and looked at him. After a moment of silence, he remembered that sacrifices seemed to be needed.

He was so busy making coffins and digging graves these past two days that he didn't think about this at all.

I just think burning a few incense sticks will do.

Now hearing Lin Yiran say this, he looked at him in confusion.

"Why are you looking at me? After all, you grew up eating their food. It's not too much to cook two meals for them, right?" Seeing that he was just staring at her without saying anything, Lin Yiran didn't know what he was thinking. He thought that he thought she was meddling in other people's business.

After thinking for a while, he waved his hand and said, "Anyway, I'll just remind you that it's up to you whether you cook it or not."

Zhu Yan put down the shovel in his hand and jumped out of the pit.

Then he went into the kitchen again.

Lin Yiran looked in the direction of the kitchen and sighed, "The memory has been restored, but it seems that the memory is not very good."

But he himself didn't pay attention to this problem.

Soon Zhu Yu lit the fire and cooked two more bowls of noodles, and beat the remaining two eggs into them, giving each bowl one.

Then he carried two bowls of noodles and two pairs of chopsticks to the mourning hall and placed the bowls on the altar.

After putting the bowl away, he put his hands together and bowed to his forehead before standing up.

After they leveled the bottom of the grave that night, they waited for the final day of the wake to end.

The elderly usually keep vigil for three or seven days. Zhu Yan planned to keep vigil for the two elders for three days and then bury them.

At night, Lin Yiran sat by the wall to rest, while Zhu Yu sat beside him and burned paper money to keep vigil.

Lin Yiran looked at him and asked, "You haven't answered my question this morning. How long do you plan to let me follow you? Do you really have to wait until you fully recover your memory?"

When Zhu Yu heard him raise this question again, he didn't want to pay any attention to him.

Seeing that he was avoiding the question again, Lin Yiran had to change the question and asked, "Okay, then I won't ask this. Can I ask something else? Where are you going next? You've been to your grandparents' house, and you're like a ghost who just died and came back to collect memories... Do you want to go to your school next? Elementary school, middle school, high school... They should all be good places to restore your memories."

If I were to say where I spent the longest time since I was a child, besides my home, it would definitely be school.

"By the way, photo albums. I wonder if your grandparents have kept photo albums of your childhood. I think you can recall some memories by looking at the albums." Lin Yiran suddenly thought of this and immediately looked at him and said.

His words attracted Zhu Yu's attention, and Zhu Yu looked at him thoughtfully.

There is nothing here in the old house. If there is a photo album, it must be over there in the building in town.

When going to bed at night, Lin Yiran casually covered himself with the blanket he had used the night before.

The big frog crawled in, lay down beside his belly, and guarded his belly.

Lin Yiran felt a little strange when he saw it lying on his waist, but he didn't say anything and just closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Zhu Yu came in and saw that he had occupied the entire mat under himself, with a toad as big as a washbasin next to him, leaving no room for him.

He was used to it. After glancing at Lin Yiran, he turned around and squatted in front of the coffins of the two elders, guarding the spirit lamp.

One guard is a whole night.

He didn't need to sleep, so after burning incense out of respect, he sat on the doorstep and looked at the dark yard outside.

The familiar yard has now completely changed beyond recognition, with two large pits dug inside.

The day after tomorrow these two big pits will turn into big mounds of earth.

The night wind rustled the leaves, but when the wind stopped, there was silence.

From time to time, the sound of animal footsteps could be heard from a distance.

Zhu Yu sat alone and turned his head to look at the rising green smoke and the faintly swaying candlelight in the spirit lamp.

Then his gaze shifted to Lin Yiran who was lying on the ground next to him.

He felt these days as if he had finally woken up, only to find himself abandoned by the whole world.

I turned into a zombie that everyone was shouting and killing, and everything around me was in ruins and a mess.

Familiar, yet strange and dangerous.

He was panicked and confused.

But after seeing Lin Yiran's familiar face, but he couldn't remember whose it was, he calmed down strangely.

At least, there is someone by my side.

This way he wouldn't be so panicked and scared, and wouldn't be so confused and helpless.

As long as he is by my side, I still have a little courage to face this broken world.
