Chapter 3

I have always been confident in my abundant physical strength. Thanks to my grandma's release of stockings when I was a child, I played happily in the yard, mounds, and ditches every day, running around, eating well and sleeping soundly, and naturally my physical condition improved.

Even so, carrying a backpack and climbing the mountain step by step is also a physical job of panting and sore legs.

Today is the day to bury my grandma. I got up early in the morning to go up the mountain, intending to fulfill my grandma's last wish.

Songlin Mountain is right next to the village. It is not very high, but it also has steep cliffs.

The lush pine and cypress trees and lush leaves block the sky. Looking up, you can only see deep and shallow green overlapping.

It winds up along the mountain road and enters the deep forest. The leaves and grass are creaking. From time to time, you can see the slowly flowing stream flowing from high to low into a crack in a rock, and then flow out from the other side of the stone.

After about two or three hours, I finally climbed to the top of the mountain.

The scenery in front of me suddenly became clear. Between the continuous peaks, there was a misty lake, as blue as transparent crystal, bathed in the golden sunshine.

The view in front of me was almost breathlessly perfect, and I took a few steps towards the edge of the cliff.

There are a few falling trees not far away, which look like they are deliberately placed there, specifically to give people who are going up the mountain a quiet place to look out at the distant mountains and lakes.

I sat down gratefully, with my elbows on my knees and my palms on my chin.

Silence surrounded me like a soft blanket, and I took a deep breath of sweet air, then spit it out again, immersed in a pure tranquility.

That's what I'm back.

Before going up the mountain, I spoke to the area manager on the phone and told him that I had to extend the holiday.

Since I learned that my grandma has passed away, it is not unreasonable that he gave me three days off to deal with the funeral.

But I know that his patience has ended here. If I miss the real estate project that is about to be launched, I will most likely lose the opportunity to become a store manager this time.

But I couldn't put aside everything my grandma left me and turned around and left. Finally, the phone call between the manager and me ended in an unhappy manner.

I would lose this job and for a moment I was very skeptical of my decision.

After working hard for so many years, can you give up so easily?

In fact, I was asking this question along the way.

It is said that when relatives are there, life still has its origin; when relatives go, life has no way to return.

Grandma was like a beacon standing on the tower by the sea, which suddenly went out, and my sailing suddenly lost its direction.

I told myself that it was not too late to go home. My grandma had already gone to the death. I could entrust the village secretary to help with the aftermath. As long as I was given money, some villagers would help, and the effect would not be worse than mine.

Then I will be angry, how could I have such thoughts?

It's sad again, grandma has left and can never come back.

At this moment, the little depression in my heart was like a layer of mist on my head gradually evaporating, and I could imagine it disappearing into the blue sky above my head.

No matter who you are, you will suddenly be enlightened and unobstructed in such a beautiful and peaceful scenery.

Grandma hopes that I will stay in this place, and I can feel that she is by my side and tell me that I belong here.

I drank some water, ate a chocolate bar, and after resting enough, I took out a photo from my pocket, and the photo I took when my grandma went up the mountain to see my grandpa for the last time.

Judging from the photos, my grandfather was buried in a very special place.

I have been with my grandma many times when I was a child. I originally thought that with my memory and this photo, the buried place would be very easy to recognize.

I didn't expect that this place was so special, and it looked like it was in the photos everywhere.

You don't have to look for it anymore, I know where it is!A voice suddenly came from behind.

AhAh!I jumped into the air in fear and turned to find the source of the sound.

I opened my eyes in horror and stared at the man standing in front of me.

He is the biggest man I have ever seen in his life. He is wearing a pair of black short-sleeved and blue canvas pants, which doesn't match very well, but I guess it would be nice to wear it in the right size according to his figure.

This man is too burly and stands in front of me like a mountain.

Not only that, his shoulders were wide and his chest was thick, and the sunlight around him was absorbed on him, making people feel an inexplicable sense of oppression and could not be seen directly.

You don't have to look for it anymore, I know where it is!He repeated it again.

I...I...I...I...I whimper.

you……?He raised his black and thick eyebrows, which matched the thick beard on half of his face.

I... I wanted to speak, but I couldn't find my voice for a moment.

He still looked at me silently.Although it was uncomfortable, I still locked in his eyes.

Ren Sha, I blurted out: My name is Ren Sha!

I know, he tilted his head and continued to look at me.

Deep in the dark eyes, something was flashing.

I noticed that his eyelashes were black and thick, which should not be a bad thing, after all, no bad guy has such beautiful eyes.

So, who are you?

Tiedan, he replied.

I made a slight suffocation and opened my mouth wide and shouted: Are you a tindan?

My God!

How did Tiedan look like this? I don’t remember when I saw him last time, but he must be dull and uncharacteristic, otherwise I wouldn’t have been so surprised.

He looked at me again with his head tilted, and I felt like a bug was being pinned, and worse, my head was spinning.

My dear grandma left me a yard of 200 square meters. She looks forward to me sharing it with this man?

I know where your grandfather was buried. Following the flowing water, he walked around the stone slope to the west, and then walked another three or four hundred meters away.Tiedan resisted the shovel and shovel in her hand and signaled me to follow him.

How did you know?I caught up with him and asked.

I helped Grandma San shovel the place and buried Ren Sanye.

Oh, no wonder.Thank you!Most of the villagers in Xun Village have surnamed Ren or Huang. In retrospect, each family has been related to their relatives.

Grandpa ranks the third in his generation, and the juniors call Grandpa Ren San, Grandma San.

Tiedan really knew where it was, and I stopped after following him for a while.When I took the photos to compare, I said happily: Wow, you found it!

I removed my backpack and pulled out a small tree hole excavator from it.

Before I went up the mountain, I was able to find it online for a while. It was impossible to drive an excavator to go up such a high mountain, so I could only use it manually.

I have to learn how to dig the soil and dig the pit before I can bury my grandmother's ashes.

After searching, I found that it was much simpler than I thought.

Buy a tree hole excavator, which is easy to operate and cheap, and can be easily done in less than 100 yuan.

I first took out a household electric drill that looked like a gun, which was responsible for digging the soil, and I had made sure that I had sufficient electricity before going up the mountain.

Then connect a drill bit with a circular saw blade to the stainless steel iron rod, which is responsible for opening the hole.

Watch the video to explain that this spiral-shaped drill bit can be continuously dug into the depths, and the soil will be brought out of the pit by rotating power.

The step of shoveling soil is eliminated, saving time and effort.

According to the advertisement, I should be able to finish it in less than ten minutes.

After assembly, I picked up the electric drill and the engine made a huge roar.

When the drill bit is vertically aimed at the land, the soil loosens, like boiling bubbles rolling and surging, and a round soil pit will take shape without a minute.

When I was secretly happy, the sound of the drilling piece suddenly became sharp, as if I had encountered a very hard thing.

Before I could lift it up, the sharp and harsh noise turned into a snap sound again.

I quickly turned off the switch and picked it up and saw that the round serrated blade had been knocked off half of it. Not only was the corner of the stone exposed at the bottom of the pit, but there were also some huge old tree roots.

You may be good at planting saplings, flowers, plants, or burying wooden stakes. There are forests everywhere in Pine Forest Mountain, and the roots of the bowl-like tree are mixed. If you dig a little deeper, it will not be possible for a drilling piece to do.Tiedan suddenly spoke.

I originally thought that Tiedan left by myself after leading me, but I didn't expect Tiedan didn't leave and observed the whole process.

I asked in frustration: Why didn’t you say it earlier?

He didn't say anything anymore, picked up the shovel and walked towards me.The posture was a bit scary, and I couldn't help but retreat to the side.Tiedan looked carefully at the pit I dug again, then waved the shovel to clean the soil in the pit.

No matter how dull I was, I could see that Tiedan was planning to help me bury my grandma's ashes.

The villagers said Tiedan was a monster, and people were afraid of him and felt that he was full of danger.

But no one dares to say this in front of him. If you annoy such a big guy, you will definitely suffer a loss when you fight.

This was the first time I met Tiedan face to face after I returned to Xuncun.

I was not worried about safety, although this man could fly into the air and fall down hard.

However, what my grandma hates most in her life is violence. Staying away from such people is my motto of growing up.

Now, dividing the yard together for him to live in shows that grandma trusts him, and I trust grandma, so I also trust Tiedan.

The sun has risen, and the mountains are still very cool, but you can still feel the temperature rise several degrees.

I fixed the strands of hair on my ponytail back to my head, watching him dig out the soil in the pit one by one.

This disturbing big man was doing the work in front of him seriously, with the soil, tree roots, and stones, as if he had life. It was a pleasure to be obedient under his operation.

It was obvious that Tiedan didn't happen to appear here, but kept following me, intending to bury grandma with me.

I was puzzled and even got angry. My grandmother had been taking care of Tiedan when she was alive, and she mentioned him specifically when she made her will, but he had never shown up.

On the day of the funeral, he didn't even come to burn incense and toast a glass of wine.

Now it seems that he is not as cold and ruthless as I think.

Tiedan is indeed different from other people in the village. After only a few minutes of getting along, I have seen that Tiedan is not good at talking, is not good at communicating, and does not like noisy places. Maybe he also knows that he is not popular, so he just does things alone.

My attention was attracted by his forearms, and my strong muscles were covered with black hair on the veins that were like steel wire.

He threw the dirt out of the pit time and time again, his biceps, which were almost as thick as my calf, gathered together as he moved, rolling and stretching.

I have never seen a person like him in my life, exuding pure power all over my body, and my masculinity has reached a whole new level.

If Tiedan is so lonely and lonely as the villagers say, does it mean that no one has touched the muscles of this body, and no one has seen the guy hidden in his pants?

Before I could suppress it, the moans accumulated in my chest slid out of my throat.

I quickly lowered my head awkwardly, bent down quickly to pick up the backpack at my feet, and took out a bottle of water from it.

Tiedan also stopped what she was doing and looked at me.

I don’t know if Tiedan heard it, and even if he heard it, he didn’t say anything.

Before I could hand him the water bottle, he changed another pickaxe and smashed it into the pit.

Tiedan was very miserable when she was a child. Her father had a bad temper and always fed her with her mother and son.

Tiedan always tried his best to protect his mother, but she still couldn't stop the tragedy from happening.

Mom lost her life, Tiedan killed his father in anger.

Grandma always said that Tiedan's father deserves it, and that old man was a cruel bastard. Someone should have slapped the man before his son took action.

Grandma was full of sympathy for Tiedan and often took him in to eat and spend the night at home.

Later, Tiedan was released from the tutoring office and took him back to live with him.

However, the villagers have always been wary of him. No matter how fast the society develops or how much the villagers' living standards have improved, the countryside is the countryside, closed and conservative.

Anyone who is different from them will scare them.

They don’t like Tiedan being speechless, and they don’t like Tiedan being alone.

I guess the dark past and rumors surrounding Tiedan are really scary, and his size and strength are intimidating. Although someone will look at him for a few more out of curiosity, he still keeps a distance and will not expect to get close to him.

What are Tiedan doing when she is not busy with farm work in the fields?

Of course, I know what he is doing now. He is digging soil for a woman who has no common sense in land to bury her dear grandma, but what about other times?

Tiedan is a mystery. I have never seen him in the past few days since my grandmother passed away and moved back to the village.

I know he lives on the other side of the yard, but there aren't many opportunities to approach him, nor do I know more about him.

Although Tiedan looks at me from time to time now and her eyes are warm, she also clearly exudes a 'please don't get close' breath, which can be felt by fifty meters away.

Sasha?

I blinked in surprise, the low voice sounded cautious and tough, which made my heart beat faster, and my skin was filled with goose bumps, like a gust of cold wind blew across my body.

I had a smile on my face, forcing my eyes to stay above his shoulders.

Oh, Tiedan, do you want to take a break?I asked politely.

It's already deep enough, Master Ren San is right next to him, they are all fine, do you think it's okay?Tiedan lowered her chin, and her hair became darker with sweat, and she fell forward on her forehead.

I narrowed my eyes to face the sunshine, and a few steps closer, the tomb pit was flat and upright, and Tiedan knew what he was doing.I said gratefully: Thank you very much, drink some water!

I'm a little nervous.

Damn it, no wonder Tiedan is not popular. This man is too cold and seems to be telling you silently that he doesn't care whether you believe all the stories about him, let alone your opinion.

I have no way to judge whether it is true or not, and I also doubt whether this is a habit he has developed for many years to protect himself.

But his eyes were really uncomfortable.

I'll take a step back, OK, I'll listen to you, you're more experienced than me.

I carefully took out the wooden box from my backpack. When I held it in my arms, my emotions began to blend into the heavy environment. At this moment, I was a little humorous and sad.

Grandma was quite fat before she died, but she was in good health and walked very fast.

When I was a child, I always had to hold her hand to keep up.

Later, I grew older, and I still didn't get used to my grandma's walking speed. I pulled her arm more than once and asked her to walk slowly.

Every time my grandma is very happy, I also find that this can bring her a sense of satisfaction, so easy.

Now, I feel like I'm still doing something similar with my urn.

I moved forward slowly step by step, but I still felt that I was walking too fast.

This is the last time I told my grandma to slow down and then slow down!

Grandma hopes to be buried here, but I am so reluctant to leave it.

Tiedan waited for me silently until I came to the front, then raised her hand to take the box, carefully placed it at the bottom of the pit, and then wrapped it firmly with thick linoleum layer by layer.

He supported the wall of the pit with his arms and jumped out of the pit with two or three tilts.

Tiedan still didn't say anything, stepped aside and gave me time to say goodbye to grandma.

After I picked up a handful of soil and sowed it down, he followed me to use a shovel to fill the soil back little by little, and the ground soon became flat.

Tiedan also restored the originally damaged flowers and plants and covered them with no difference from the surroundings when looking from a distance.

I took out the incense burner, lit three incense sticks and inserted them in, and knelt down where I wanted to spend a while with my grandma.

Unexpectedly, Tiedan followed me and lighted incense and bowed to her.

We didn't stand up until the incense burned out.

While Tiedan was packing up her tools, I cleared my throat and said politely: Tiedan, thank you for helping me fulfill my grandma's last wish today.Without you, I really don't know how embarrassed it would be.It takes up so long and so much effort, how much money should I give you?

Tiedan's eyes flashed slightly, and the skin at the corners of her eyes wrinkled.

It wasn't because of a smile, no, I've never seen him smiling. He looked very nervous, his chin covered with a nape was tightly stretched, and his Adam's apple slid up and down in front of his thick neck.

Soon, his expression calmed down and turned into an indifferent look without emotion.

I lowered my eyes and noticed that Tiedan's powerful fist clenched and loosened on both sides of his body.

I understood that the idea of ​​paying him made him feel uncomfortable. I felt a little guilty. Although I didn't say it out, I knew that Tiedan really hoped to help grandma do something.

I must have not made a good impression on him, and even though he would look at me with a fiery eye, he never showed any signs of wanting more.

I guess he has had enough in his life, and he is stared at everywhere like a monster, whispering, guessing, and judging behind him.

Uh, it's getting late... I stumbled and took a step back, as if I had two left feet.

Tiedan pointed to the broken pit digging artifact and said: It's quite heavy, I'll help you get it!

I didn't refuse. It's easy to go up the mountain and it's hard to go down the mountain. I still have this common sense. It's much easier to go on lightweight than to carry a heavy load.

I thank him again and invited him to have dinner at home in the evening.

This is the most rare and ordinary thing, but Tiedan just carried all the tools and turned around and walked back.

He walked very fast and disappeared in a short while.

I watched the road under my feet move forward step by step. Somehow, I could feel Tiedan's strong gaze following me.

Naturally, a thought popped up in my mind. Is it possible?

Judging from the current situation, Tiedan is more like a child adopted by grandma, just like she adopted me back then.

In other words, Tiedan is my brother in a sense, not a spoil.

The so-called spoils are the kind of rewards that solve physiological needs.

In addition, what I need now is a long-term and stable relationship. I am in my thirties. At this age, I go to bed with a man for the sake of getting married and having children.

God, what kind of child will a man like Tiedan give birth to?

My thoughts moved, maybe... living in my yard could affect him... I took a breath and was frightened by my bold thoughts.

Am I really thinking about using my landlord to get this man to have sex with me?

What's wrong with me? I've fallen into this evil!

My brain cannot function properly because I just lost my grandma and my mind is in a mess.

Interestingly, the chaotic brain can do other things.

For example, when taking a shower after going home, pay special attention to body hair.

This is not an easy task in the bathroom. I had to lift one foot to the shower wall and stomp it firmly, and then press my butt on the washbasin to shave it carefully and cleanly.

The flexibility involved is surprising, not to mention the determination reflected.

Why?

Because I want to!I am an independent modern woman who can have sex with any healthy and single man if I want without the slightest guilt.

I put on a pair of clean sweatpants and a soft shirt and started to get busy in the kitchen.

All of this could be a waste of time, and I don't even know if Tiedan will come.

I carefully recalled the situation on the mountain and was very sure that Tiedan did not give me a positive answer, but he did not say he could not say anything.

I was thinking while cooking, but I didn't expect to look up and see Tiedan coming from a distance through the window.

Instead of knocking at the door, he stood outside the window, waiting for me to find him.

It was the time, I smiled and waved to him and let him enter the house.

Tiedan is very reserved, I have to say something to make him relax.

Tiedan, grandma often mentions you to me and says you have helped her a lot.Now that grandma is gone, I will probably rely on you.Don't worry, grandma has told me that it will be fine for how long you want to live here, and I won't drive you away.

The table was too small and our knees touched together as Tiedan sat opposite me.

I didn't move away, nor did he.

Tiedan lifted a chopstick of food to her mouth, chewed, swallowed, and licked her mouth, and the Adam's apple slid up and down, and our eyes met.

I watched his lips separate, and if it weren't for those beards, his lips would be clearer.

Oh my god, when did I be so open?

Being single for too long?

Or have you stayed in the office for too long?

It's so shameless!
