The prison temple saw that the young man froze after hearing his words, and then the young man said: "You are talking nonsense... Is grandpa injured, not a single drop of blood... and he is not sick! He is not poisoned either. I will have dinner with him." It's the same thing! If that's the case...how could it be dead?"

"Hey, that's not the problem..." Prison Temple was a little helpless, how old is this person, doesn't he know what death is?It's normal for old people to die, right?

"He obviously fell asleep, how could he be dead?" Tanaka said, he didn't notice that his voice was trembling, but he couldn't convince himself.That's right... those signs... are indeed those of the dead...

"...How old is your grandfather." Prison Temple scratched his hair irritably, he was not very good at dealing with such people.

Tanaka replied numbly: "More than 80..."

"Isn't it normal for an old man of this age to die!" Prison Temple lost his composure, "Enough is enough, you idiot without common sense!"

After finishing speaking, the prison temple turned around and left.Indeed, he had never met such a man!

Tanaka stood there for a long time.

Tanaka was crying.

He felt that he hadn't cried for a long time, because of that Declaration of Independence, he hadn't cried for a long time.As a result, he still cried today. He kept wiping away his tears, but the tears didn't stop at all.He looked at the old man who was close at hand but could no longer move, and buried his head in his knees.

He still remembered the first time he saw the old man there.That time the old man extended a helping hand to him who had a suspicious identity and let him stay overnight. At that time, Abu was just a newborn puppy.

When they met here, he acted as the grandson of the old man who died in an accident.As an adopted child, Tanaka couldn't go to high school like the previous Taro. Although he disobeyed the old man's will, dropped out of school to work, and moved to another place to live, the old man was still very kind to him.

Such an old man passed away.The man said it was a natural death and that he was an idiot with no common sense.

Thinking of this, Tanaka's heart throbbed again.There is one less person in the world who will treat him well.That person is right, he is a fool without common sense... What is he going to do next?

※※※

Tetsuya Kusakabe wakes up at four in the morning and spends a lot of time combing his hair.Just as he was in good spirits and was about to go out, he suddenly heard a knock on the window.Kusakabe turned around, and he suddenly found that there seemed to be something in the window of his room.

Kusakabe swallowed, it was a black mass, it looked like hair...

No, no, Kusakabe shook his head violently.It's early in the morning, how can it be haunted?

So Kusakabe bravely went up and opened the curtain... only to find a black-haired boy standing there in the posture of preparing to knock on the window.

"Who... are you?" Cao Bi twitched the corner of his mouth, a thief?But what are the thieves doing knocking on the window...

"Good morning, Mr. Kusakabe." The boy withdrew his hand that was about to knock on the window. "I'm Tanaka, and I live next door."

Then Cao Bi remembered: "Ah, you are Taro."

"...Please don't call me Taro." Tanaka said with a serious face.

"Cough, I'm sorry...Tanaka." Cao Bi recalled the scene when he saw this boy last time, so he changed his words, "Come to me at this time... What can you do?"

"That's right." Tanaka paused, "Do you know how to dispose of corpses?"

Numerous images flashed through Kusakabe's mind, and he looked at Tanaka with an extremely strange look.Could it be... this seemingly ordinary boy is as trouble-making as the Chairman?He killed someone and came to him to deal with the aftermath or something... But after thinking about it, Tanaka and the chairman are really similar from some perspectives.

"Let me ask, did you do anything?" Cao Bi asked.

"It's nothing...it's just covered with a quilt." The boy said.

"So... where?"

Tanaka pointed to Tanaka's house nearby, Kusakabe became suspicious and had a strange feeling.It won't be what he thinks...

※※※

Tanaka brought Kusakabi into the room, and Kusakabi saw a figure on the quilt. He squatted down and opened a corner of the quilt, and saw the old man Tanaka lying there.The old man's face was very peaceful, without pain or struggle, as calm as if he was asleep.

Cao Bi touched the old man's hand, which had become cold and stiff.

"Grandpa... When did you leave?" Cao Bi asked softly. After all, Old Man Tanaka has been neighbors with their family for more than 20 years, and he has known this Old Man Yuan almost since he was born. 15 years, still have some feelings.

"Last night..." Tanaka's answer was very concise.

Discovered last night?Cao Bi turned to look at Tanaka, and looked at his face carefully, only to find that his complexion was not very good, although it was not obvious on his round face, but his eyes were swollen, presumably from crying.

"Don't be too sad. Grandpa is over 80 years old. Has he passed away? There are no regrets." Cao Bi comforted.

"En." The boy replied vaguely, his eyes fixed elsewhere.

Cao Bi couldn't bear to disturb him, it seemed that he couldn't handle the funeral of the old man Tanaka by himself.Old man Tanaka doesn't have any descendants, so let him do a favor as a neighbor.So Cao Bi got up and decided to ask for a day off today. Anyway, the chairman is still living in the hospital recently, so it doesn't get in the way.He did a good job with it today.

After he asked for leave, he called the funeral home and returned to the living room. He saw Tanaka sitting on the terrace with the old man's puppy in his arms, staring at the yard in a daze.

"Tanaka." Cao Bi called him, "I'll help you next, and you will follow me to the crematorium... By the way, I remember you have a part-time job, right? Have you asked for leave?"

It took a while for Tanaka to say "ah", he put down the dog, stood up and said, "Not yet."

"Then hurry up, the person who collects the corpse will come soon."

After Tanaka called the boss of Bamboo Sushi Yamamoto to ask for leave, the two had a simple breakfast, and Tanaka fed the dog something.Tanaka hugged the dog and asked Cao Bi: "Can I take Abu with me later?"

"Uh, do you bring a dog?" Cao Bi frowned in disapproval, "That's not good, I don't know if the funeral home can bring pets..."

"Can't you?" Tanaka lowered his head, "Because, apart from my grandfather, Abu is my only family member."

Cao Bi recalled the rumors he had heard before. The boy's parents died in a traffic accident, and later the old man Tanaka adopted him. This was two years ago.

But in the following time, Tanaka became alone, right?

"Tanaka... how old are you?"

"It says 16 years old on the certificate." Tanaka replied without raising his head, "If you want to talk about the guardian, there is no need."

"yes."

The two just chatted one after another, and the funeral home's car arrived after a while.Tanaka took the money, and he stroked the dog's head: "I'm leaving, Abu, you have to take good care of the house."

The dog barked happily, stood at the door wagging its tail and watched the master leave.I don't know if he knew that one of his masters left and would never come back.

※※※

Old Man Tanaka's funeral did not have too many cumbersome details, and there were only two people standing next to him.One is his adopted son and the other is his neighbor.The old man Tanaka was placed in a paper coffin, and Tanaka and Kusakabe each held a white chrysanthemum.Kusakabe presented the flowers first, and then it was Tanaka's turn. He imitated Kusakabe and put the flowers in the coffin.He stared blankly at the old man's face, then his eyes turned red, and tears began to fall.

"Hey..." Cao Bi looked at Tanaka and cried, not knowing what to say.

Tanaka quickly wiped away the falling tears, blinked, and followed the staff into another place.Kusakabe observed it specially, and Tanaka did not cry during this period.

But when the staff asked them to see the deceased for the last time, Tanaka looked at the old man's face and began to cry again.The body was sent to the incinerator, and Kusakabe patted Tanaka, who was sobbing, and handed him a tissue.

After the two took the ashes, Tanaka finally stopped crying.But when they arrived at the ancestral grave of the Tanaka family, they buried the ashes.When Kusakabe started talking about old man Tanaka, Tanaka started crying again.

"I'm sorry... as long as I think of Grandpa, I will..." Tanaka choked up, wiping his eyes with his sleeve, as if he was enduring something.Kusakabe watched from the side, and felt that Tanaka was a little unbelievable, but what exactly was it...he really couldn't tell, it was just a little uncoordinated.

When Tanaka calmed down again, he could carefully read the words on the tombstone.

"Grandpa's wife and son... are also buried here?" Tanaka asked softly.

"Yes, the old man comes to visit the grave every year." Cao Bi replied.

After Kusakabe tidied up his things, he wiped off his sweat, looked up at Tanaka who was still staring at the tombstone in a daze, and finally couldn't help but say, "Tanaka, it's almost time for us to go back."

Tanaka responded vaguely, and said again: "Hey, Mr. Cao Bi... Will I be buried here after I die? I..."

"No, that... I think it's okay." Cao Bi said, although Tanaka and the old man are not related by blood, they are just adopted children, but he still has this right.

"Is that so... If only it was true." It would be great if he could really be buried here like this when he died.Tanaka smiled, a little miserable.He thought of himself... Then such an idea cannot be realized, and such a wish is just a wish.He... After all, he is not the child adopted by his grandfather, he is not the real Taro Tanaka.

※※※

It was late when the two returned to Bingsheng, Cao Bi sent Tanaka to the door of his house.Tanaka's mental state was very bad, and there was a faint shadow under his eyes.

"Have a good rest. You can ask me for help if you need anything. This is my mobile phone number." Cao Bi handed Tanaka a small note, "Inheritance issues... now this house is yours, you'd better live in it." Here, it’s not good if the house is empty all the time. Anyway, you are working in Bingsheng, so why go to live in Heiyao Town... Also, do you know where the grandpa’s bank|bank|card is, and the password is also there. Know?"

Tanaka nodded blankly, looked at the note in his hand, and said, "I always feel that Mr. Caobi...you are always taking care of me."

"Where is that..." Cao Bi said quickly, and he bid farewell to Tanaka and walked to his home.When Cao Bi thought about it, he always felt something was wrong, how could he have been taking care of Tanaka all the time!They are clearly meeting for the second time today, okay?

Cao Bi turned his head, and the boy's figure had already disappeared in the entrance.Had he been confused with someone else?But forget it... Cao Bi shook his head and went home by himself.

※※※

As soon as Cao Bi left, the dog Abu came up to meet him, wagging his tail beside the field.

Tanaka knelt down and stroked Abu: "Excuse me... Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat right now."

There were still some leftover meals in the refrigerator. Tanaka heated them up and mixed them together in the dog dish. He sat on the edge of the corridor and watched the dogs eat.

The dog ate the little food on the plate and clicked his mouth.

"Come here, Abu." Tanaka called softly.

The dog obediently ran to Tanaka and wagged its tail. Tanaka grabbed its body, picked it up with a little force, and then put it on his lap.

"Do you still remember, I hugged you like this when you were a child." Tanaka murmured, "At that time you were only so young...was it more than a year ago? No, it wasn't you..."

Tanaka said, his originally gentle face sank: "That's not you..."

The dog was motionless in Tanaka's arms, looking at the boy with dark eyes, wondering if it could understand what Tanaka said, and stretched out its wet tongue to lick the boy's palm.

Tanaka caressed the dog's head: "It's great that you're still alive...I...only you..."

"Hey, Abu. Let me ask you, are you willing to guard this house, or follow me?"

The dog rubbed against Tanaka, and rolled over in his arms, exposing its belly.

"Hehe, in this case, I will take it as if you are willing to follow me." Tanaka chuckled, "In two days... no, tomorrow I will take you to Hei Yao, which is my home..."

Tanaka returned to the living room and put Abu aside: "Sleep, stay with me today."

The dog understood what he meant, and lay down beside the bed, closing his eyes.

It was late at night, and the city had fallen into silence, with only faint lights on the road.The young man looked at the quiet street through the window, and he slowly closed his eyes.

The author has something to say: This chapter exposes important news, have you seen it?That's right, Tanaka is a time traveler!

But he came here from another parallel world of his tutor... so he will know some people and know some future...
