Chapter 0007 was terrifying

Feeling my own heartbeat, I struggled to suppress my fear and managed to hold on to the wall to steady myself, but then I was hit on the back of my head and fell directly from the wall

I plopped down on the ground, ready to curse, when I saw my grandfather holding a tobacco pipe, looking at me with a playful expression

It is peculiar that the Liu Laoye I saw is not merely a matter of death; his demise is somewhat strange.

I was sitting in the car lost in thought, almost missing my stop; if it weren't for Da Xiong sitting next to me pulling me back, I wouldn't have even realized it.

Daxiong pulled my clothes hard from behind and said: "Hey, did Liu Laoye really die?"

If a mere class monitor possesses such great abilities, how much more so does my grandfather, that kind of cunning person

Daxiong's voice has changed a bit: "That would be even worse. Just think about it, in life, I couldn't even have a bowl of tofu pudding, and after I die, I would still be thinking about it. Wouldn't that mean I would really come to find you?"

I glared: "What are you trying to deceive me for? Have you forgotten about the time we got lost? If it weren't for my grandfather, you wouldn't have made it back."

Alright, I will stay at your house tonight

Moreover, didn't he mention some sort of ghost doctor and - illustrations - books? My grandfather can treat even ghosts; what kind of filthy things could possibly surpass my grandfather's abilities

It seems that Liu Laoye indeed died of fright just after returning home with the tofu pudding he had bought

In fact, in any place, especially in rural areas, it is not unusual for someone to die, particularly for an elderly person like Old Liu, who is of such advanced age; it is quite normal for something unfortunate to happen to them.

Before I could run away, my grandfather bent down to look into my eyes. Staring into his cloudy old eyes, I found myself unable to seize this opportunity to escape

What? Old Liu has died? How come I didn't know?

Indeed, this face undoubtedly reflects the terror of having witnessed something horrifying that led to death

I caught a whiff of that pungent smell of urine and pinched my nose, saying: "You coward, why did you wet yourself"

Ouning, come here and sit here

"Oh my!" Nobita shouted loudly, trembling all over. I couldn't help but frown and asked, "What happened?"

The key question is, it is indeed early in the morning, what exactly did Liu Laoye see? What could possibly scare someone to death in broad daylight?

Now that I think about it, how could there possibly be no bloodstains, even if it were brain matter

I looked at Nobita's damp pants and thought to myself, even if Liu Laoye were to search, he should first look for my grandfather; how could you even be in line for this!

At this very moment, I am quite worried. It would be one thing if Liu Laoye were to suffer a heart attack and die upon returning home, but it would be troublesome if he were truly scared to death by some filthy thing. When I left, I did see Grandpa enter their courtyard.

Nobita pulled me out of the car while asking, "Hey, we have arrived, what's wrong with you? Your face is so pale."

Upon hearing what I said, Nobita's emotions finally calmed down a bit, and he asked suspiciously, "Really?"

I immediately swallowed back the crude words that had just surged to the tip of my tongue, patted my backside, stood up, and my gaze wandered around, wanting to escape

However, thinking of my grandfather's impressive demeanor last night, I immediately pushed this worry to the back of my mind

Finally, I managed to squeeze onto the minibus before driving. Just as I was about to board, I glanced at the entrance of Liu Laoye's house and noticed that Grandpa was just pushing the door to go inside

I hope nothing has happened to my grandfather

I hurriedly squeezed in and sat down next to him, and then I fell into deep thought

I saw my grandfather raise his eyebrows sharply, and then he scolded, "You little brat, the bus has arrived, why aren't you hurrying to school?"

Thud

Daxiong nodded and said: "Indeed, this morning when I just got up, I saw Liu Laoye buying tofu pudding in my family's shop, and I was the one who gave him the change!"

Liu Quan has a heart condition. According to grandfather's words, this is hereditary, so it is very likely that Liu Laoye also has similar ailments. It would not be unusual for him to be scared to death by some astonishing event.

Although Nobita was not clear about the details of the matter at that time, he kept pestering me with questions every day. I had no choice but to embellish the story and recount the events of that night to him, which left him startled and wide-eyed.

I stammered in response: "Liu, Liu Laoye has died."

Nobita timidly said, "Have I encountered a ghost? I did accept money from the deceased; Old Liu won't take me away, will he?"

I saw him lying on his back in the yard, his mouth wide open, his eyes bulging like light bulbs, and the expression of horror on his face still lingers in my mind. That vivid feeling makes me unable to help but recall it even while sitting in the car

To put it in a phrase often seen in television dramas, it is akin to being scared to death

It must undoubtedly be the tofu pudding purchased at Nobita's house

I carefully recalled the scene of Liu Laoye lying in the courtyard; indeed, there was a pool of white substance beside his left hand, spreading everywhere. I was startled at the time and thought it was brain matter

Upon hearing my words, Daxiong immediately urinated

I hesitated for a moment and quietly said to him: "Old Liu from the village has passed away"

He did not ask me why I did not go to school and instead climbed over someone else's wall, but rather packed his pipe and leisurely asked, "What did you see?"

I was momentarily speechless and pulled him back, saying: "Stop overthinking; when Liu Laoye went to your house to buy tofu pudding, he was still alive!"

Upon hearing Nobita's words, I felt overwhelmed and comforted him by saying, "It's alright, when Liu Laoye passed away, he didn't get to enjoy the tofu pudding from your family, all that tofu pudding was spilled.

I nodded: "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes this morning"

I can tell that this kid is truly scared, so I can only pat his back and reassure him, "It's okay, you can come sleep at my house tonight, my grandfather will catch the ghosts"

To be honest, since that time, this kid has been even nicer to me, regardless of whether he is worried or not, he sticks with me every day and looks for ways to hang out with me

My grandfather is indeed a government official. Although I do not know the rank of this official, I understand that those in power are quite formidable. Take our class monitor, for instance; when it comes to collecting assignments, he carries himself with great arrogance. Anyone who dares to submit their work late will surely be summoned by the teacher for a reprimand.

I turned my head and saw that a minibus was indeed parked at the village entrance. I hurriedly dashed over, running and shouting: "Wait for me, wait for me"

Daxiong immediately cried out: "This is more troublesome. My grandmother said that before a person dies, they will want to eat whatever they desire, and after they die, they will still crave that taste. What if Liu Laoye comes to find me to buy tofu pudding again at night?"

I walked towards the classroom with a somewhat unsteady gait, my mind filled with these thoughts

As soon as I got into the car, I saw Daxiong waving at me

Upon hearing these words, I immediately felt a chill run down my spine and grabbed Daxiong by the collar, asking, "Are you sure?"

What?" Nobita suddenly jumped up, looked around and said, "Don't talk nonsense, this morning, Grandpa Liu came to my house to buy tofu pudding!"

Nobita's mother sells tofu pudding in the village, and the villagers all enjoy buying a bowl in the morning
