Four sisters from the sky

Chapter 518
Chen Kai didn't seem to understand what the old man meant.

Seeing the confusion in Chen Kai's eyes, the old man suddenly grabbed his hand.

"Are you going to go back on your word? You once promised me..."

Chen Kai was startled, and only then did he react, and hastily held the old man's hand tightly.

"Don't worry, what I said will definitely count. I'm not the kind of person who breaks promises."

The old man nodded in satisfaction.

"I hope you will remember what you said. If you break your promise, I will never feel at ease under Jiuquan. Even if I become a ghost, I will come to settle accounts with you."

Chen Kai nodded vigorously with tears in his eyes.

"Don't worry, old man, I will take good care of Zique."

Only then did the old man feel relieved, and slowly closed his eyes.

Qiao Zique had already been mentally prepared, but when this moment happened, she still felt a little unacceptable, so she cried loudly on the old man.

"Grandpa...you can't leave me alone in this world...what should I do if you leave me alone?"

Chen Kai was also a little sad. During these days, the old man took good care of him and entrusted his most beloved granddaughter to him. What kind of trust is this?
Thinking of this, Chen Kai couldn't help but burst into tears.

Qiao Zique was still wailing bitterly, but Chen Kai had no intention of stopping him, because Chen Kai knew that Qiao Zique had to cry at this time, otherwise the pain of bereavement would be suppressed in his heart, and he would be at risk of depression. lead to very serious consequences.

After crying for more than half an hour, Qiao Zique finally gradually stopped crying.

Chen Kai let out a long sigh: "Let's let the old man die in peace."

Qiao Zique nodded silently.

"When my grandfather was alive, he told me countless times that if he died one day, he would be buried in the back of the house. I also like this quiet place. I always thought that day would never come back. , so I never cared about it, now..."

Chen Kai suddenly thought, the old man had already thought of this day, so would he have made some preparations for his funeral?

However, during the few days that Chen Kai lived here, he had never seen the coffin. Chen Kai was a little puzzled and couldn't help asking.

"Did the old man prepare a coffin for himself when he was alive?"

Qiao Zique shook his head lightly.

"According to our customs, some old people will prepare a coffin for themselves early on. I once asked my grandfather if I had any. My grandfather said that ashes return to ashes, dust returns to dust, and death is death."

Chen Kai nodded silently, knowing that the old man wanted to cremate him, it would be much easier, because there are many trees on this mountain, as long as the trees are piled up, as long as there are enough trees, they will be burned cleanly.

"Then you wait for me here for a while, I'll go find some firewood, let's take care of the old man's funeral."

Qiao Zique nodded again: "You can handle these things as you see fit. I remember my grandfather prepared a shroud, but there was no way to put it on."

Chen Kai nodded again: "I can handle these things, but after a person dies, his body will become stiff and he can't wear any clothes at that time, so I'd better prepare firewood later. Let's change clothes for the old man."

In addition to changing clothes and bathing the deceased, of course Chen Kai took care of all this alone. Qiao Zique just lit a fire after preparing the firewood, and finally cleaned up the ashes. Although there was no coffin at home, but But prepared an urn.

When everything was packed, the two of them sat face to face and neither spoke.

Qiao Zique originally lived in the bamboo house to accompany his grandfather. Now that the old man has gone, it is meaningless to stay here by himself. It is even more sad to be touched by the scene.

"Are you hungry?"

After an unknown amount of time, Qiao Zique finally spoke.

Chen Kai didn't eat all day and was busy all day. Normally, he should be hungry long ago, but because of his heavy heart, he didn't have much appetite.

"I don't want to eat. Tell me about your future plans. You are a girl. Living on the mountain may cause a lot of inconvenience."

Qiao Zique wiped away her tears: "I've already made up my mind. I'll pack up my things tomorrow and go back to the school's teachers' dormitory."

Chen Kai had expected this result, but he was still a little worried. When he was here, he was not afraid of anyone coming to make trouble, but if he left, those gangsters would know that Qiao Zique lived in the school. Yes, it will be easier to find her in the future.

So he looked at Qiao Zique with some worry.

Qiao Zique seemed to have read his mind, and suddenly changed the subject.

"I know you have something urgent to go back. I can take care of myself by myself. You should go back quickly."

Chen Kai was a little surprised, but also moved in his heart. There are very few girls like Qiao Zique who are so understanding, gentle and kind. They are completely different from the sisters of the Qin family. The sisters of the Qin family are good material for doing business. Only Qin Ying was more or less similar to Qiao Zi.

But after all, she is a lady of every family, and she still has the indescribable feeling of a young lady in her bones. Qiao Zique is relatively simple and much easier to get along with.

"I appreciate that you are worried about my affairs, but I am more worried about yourself. If I leave, there will be no one in the school who can protect you. What should you do if you encounter any danger?"

Chen Kai sighed softly, and continued slowly.

"I know you're not afraid, but it's not the same as whether you're afraid or not. Those people have already haunted you. If you know I'm gone, I'm afraid you won't have any scruples. I think about what happened that day now. I'm a little scared, if it wasn't because I was worried about you, because I was in a hurry to find the school, I'm afraid the consequences would be unimaginable."

Qiao Zique forced a smile: "I am very touched that you care about me so much, but you still have to deal with your affairs. You have been absent-minded these days and have to call every day. I can see it all, and I can't stop you from doing your thing because of the danger that may happen, it will make neither of us happy."

As she said that, the tears could not be stopped and flowed down again. I don't know if it was because I thought of the old man, or because I was a little reluctant to part with the upcoming parting.

Chen Kai looked at her with some distress.

"Don't cry, I will be more sad if you do this."

Qiao Zique wiped away her tears and forced a smile.

"I am no longer the old Wuxia Ameng. I have learned Wing Chun from you these few days, and the moves you taught me seem to have a meaning. They are similar to women's self-defense techniques. The moves are all about attacking the vital points. Yes, I have practiced very hard myself, I believe that ordinary gangsters will probably not come to trouble me again."

She suddenly went on to say: "What's more, your warning last time must have made them shudder. They know that you are not easy to mess with, so when they come to me again, I'm afraid they have to weigh their own strength, unless they eat it. Bear heart leopard courage, do not want to live."

Chen Kai nodded silently, thinking that Qiao Zique had really studied very hard these days. According to her current skill, if two or three people want to entangle, it may be impossible.

Thinking of this, Chen Kai was slightly relieved, and sighed softly.

"It's getting late now, let's go to bed early."

Qiao Zique nodded silently: "Go back to your room and sleep. Today is really thanks to you. If it wasn't for your help, I really wouldn't be able to do this. I'll sit here for a while and wait until I'm sleepy." go back."

Chen Kai understood Qiao Zique's current mood, so he didn't force it, but nodded silently.

"Then don't stay up too late."

Qiao Zique didn't speak, but just stared at the door stupidly.

Chen Kai sighed again, knowing that nothing he could do to comfort Qiao Zique, so he went back to his room silently.

As soon as he lay down, he heard another burst of suppressed sobbing from outside the house.

After hearing this, Chen Kai felt a little sad in his heart, and lay down on the bed silently swearing.

"Don't worry, old man, I have taken care of the family affairs, and I will definitely arrange for Qiao Zique."
