"First meeting, please take care of me."

Bowing down and bowing to Dengshi, Wushi raised her hand out of habit to cover the birthmark on her face, but she was always a little embarrassed and awkward in her heart.

He hasn't been with anyone for a long time, so he really doesn't know how to distinguish between others' kindness and malice, but the system's reminder is close at hand, he hesitated for a long time, he still asked in a deep voice,

"Excuse me, what is your relationship with your mother..."

"I am her creditor, Wu Zi, she owed me a large amount of wine money until she died! She drank so much expensive wine from me! How dare she never pay me a penny, and pay me a penny. What did you say that you want to mortgage your 16-year-old son to me...huh...really..."

Dengshi's mother-in-law opened her mouth and began to criticize Wu Se's mother's behavior before she was alive. In Wu Se's ears, it was extremely harsh, and she wanted to jump up and kill this noisy and annoying old woman immediately.

No matter how humble and poor his mother is, she doesn't want others to accuse her...Damn it...

Colorless clenched his fists fiercely, lowered his head to cover all expressions on his face.

Anger...or Compromise?

Ever since he came back, he has lost some memory of the past, sometimes he can't even remember his mother's face, let alone her resting place...

Besides, the tasks assigned by the system must have its own arrangements... If I resist any more willfully... I will only miss another opportunity...

he can't wait...

Thinking of this, Wu Se couldn't help biting his lips, and after a long while, he said with some difficulty,

"I'm very sorry...Because I have been living alone, I carelessly forgot the important day of worshiping my mother. I am very grateful for your reminder...If it is convenient...Can you take me there? I really haven't seen you for a long time I passed my mother... please..."

His thin body, thin and trembling voice, the tense and reserved attitude of the black-haired boy, and his vaguely hostile eyes looked like an unruly wolf cub, which was inexplicably heart-wrenching.

"you……"

Granny Dengshi unconsciously stopped the movement of puffing out the smoke with her hands. Originally, she wanted to open her mouth to say something, but now she was completely speechless by Wu Se's words.

……

[Drip——Congratulations to Sao Nian for completing the task of "Say hello to elders when you meet them" and earning the title "Shouli Sao Nian". The current titles are "Love Sao Nian" and "Shou Li Sao Nian". 】

[Drip——Congratulations to Sao Nian for gaining the favorability of her mother-in-law, the head of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kabukicho +1000, and becoming the "109th candidate heir of the inn Teradaya"]

"He's an interesting kid... He's not at all the same as Wu Zi, that crazy woman..."

Looking sideways at Wu Se, Grandma Dengshi's mouth painted with bright lip gloss still couldn't help muttering a few words

If I remember correctly, the child in front of me is only fifteen or sixteen years old, but in terms of mind, she is more remarkable than many adults she has seen in Kabukicho for so many years.

Although his eyes flashed with the same stubborn pride as his mother's, they looked unexpectedly pleasing to the eye at the moment.

Recalling his miserable dancer mother, his gaze involuntarily fell on the abrupt birthmark on the colorless and fair complexion. Dengshi sighed, put the pipe into the cuff of the kimono as if giving up, and gently pulled the colored hand, opened the mouth and said,

"Tsk, what a troublesome brat...I'm going to pay homage to my dead husband first, so you can come with me..."

**

Granny Dengshi led Wu Se all the way to the public cemetery where everyone in the town was buried.

The cemetery is very quiet, with only a few sporadic people worshiping their ancestors in high places.

Wu Se seldom followed Granny Dengshi obediently and walked forward, her cold hands were wrapped in the warm and rough palm of the old man, and she was unexpectedly relieved.

"Do you remember where Wuzi's grave is?"

Granny Dengshi said as she stopped in front of a tombstone, she sent her colorless hands away and laid out the offerings in the basket one by one in front of the tomb.

"Can not remember……"

Seeing Granny Dengshi put a plate of white steamed buns on the stone seat in front of the tombstone, she shook her head with a stern face, and replied in a low voice.

"Tsk... idiot."

Grandma Dengshi frowned impatiently, ordered Wu Se to take out the incense candles from the basket, and ordered in a rough voice,

"First put some incense on my dead husband, he will bless you to live a better life in this world... When I finish it, I will take you to find Wuzi's tombstone... Tsk tsk, how could Wuzi's son So stupid..."

"Why should I offer incense to him... I don't know him... Besides, you just give steamed buns to your deceased husband?"

After being scolded several times for being an idiot one after another, he was colorless and a little unhappy. He grimaced sullenly. He glanced at the shabby sacrifices that Dengshi had brought out, and asked with disdain.

Although this old woman named Dengshi didn't seem to have any malicious intentions, just her venomous tongue made him unbearable.

If it was before... I would have killed her long ago...

Wu Se thought this coldly in his heart, and clenched his fingers unconsciously.

On the other side, Grandma Dengshi set out several plates of steamed buns, she didn't care about the colorless and impolite words, she just smiled, looked at the yellowed photo on the tombstone, and said with emotion,

"Ah, he is just a dead ghost who selfishly ran to another world. Do you want me to offer you big fish and meat? Delicious and precious food is reserved for those who live and work hard in this world. Giving him steamed buns is already What a great gift...Little ghost... Never underestimate the power of food, mother-in-law, I once caught the last man with the soul of a warrior in this world with a steamed bun..."

She babbled on and on, although Granny Dengshi still had that mocking and disgusting expression on her face, she also scolded the deceased husband very badly in her words...

But from Wu Se's point of view, she always felt that this old woman... Maybe she really missed her husband who passed away early.

"Hey...Actually, you must miss him very much..."

Wu Se subconsciously blurted out, and then he watched Granny Dengshi's back froze, and after a while, Granny Dengshi's rough voice accompanied by a weak cry came out.

……

"Stupid boy...he is what I care about most in this world...how can I miss him?"

"In this world...the most unbearable pain...but parting from life and death..."

……

[——The fourth rule of the good year, never watch others shed tears——]

【——Hurry up and pass the handkerchief to comfort me, what a showy year~ There will be a generous reward for completing the task (^U^)ノ~YO】

The system next to his ear issued a series of metallic notification sounds, and Wu Se stared blankly at the weeping mother-in-law Deng Shi, and an unspeakable sadness welled up in his heart involuntarily.

Death and parting...are always sad things...

Thinking like this, the colorless palm involuntarily touched Deng Shi's trembling shoulder.He felt his consciousness slowly gather into a ball of warm light, and then floated into Granny Dengshi's body.

There, he saw Granny Dengshi meet her lover when she was a teenager, saw her stay with her husband when she was young, saw her forced to be separated by war and her beloved in middle age, and saw her old age. Sometimes unaccompanied alone...

In the bloody dusk, the blood-stained old woman held on to the samurai sword and her husband's corpse, weeping and whining...

On a stormy night, an old woman who worships her husband meets a white-haired warrior who steals steamed buns from her husband's grave...

In the quiet and comfortable afternoon, the old woman who was alone recalled the scene when she met her lover for the first time when she was a teenager...

In those distant and vague memories, there is even a shadow of his mother...

His mother smiled recklessly, was beautiful, and was much healthier than the decayed and sickly look in his memory...

Loved ones leave one by one...

Everything you care about is gone one step earlier...

Colorless felt that his vision was slightly blurred by tears, and when he woke up from the long memory, he heard the system's metal reminder sound coming from his ears.

[Drip——Congratulations to Sao Nian for comprehending the "Profound Meaning of Compassion", devouring skill proficiency +3000, and the value of good and evil is currently 5~]
