The old man paused, and the look on his face was even more lonely.
Lilly looked at the old man's hand, only to see that his fingers were missing a section, and the fingertips were bald.
She still clenched tightly and led the old man away.
The old man let Lilly hold his hand, and when he regained consciousness, he was already sitting on the bench by the Bondee Beach.
"Grandpa, what's the matter?" Lilly asked.
The old man's cloudy eyes were covered with a layer of wet mist, "I can't hold it anymore."
"I miss my wife very much. It's meaningless to live alone every day."
Lilly comforted, "However, if grandma is still here, she definitely doesn't want to see you like this."
The old man sighed sadly, "Yes, but what does it matter, she must have waited too long, I don't want her to wait too long."
Old Mrs. Crawford and old Mr. Crawford sat on the side, while Blake leaned on the fence by the sea, turned his head and looked into the distance, enjoying the sea breeze.
Lilly saw that his eyes no longer had the desire to live, he was really lifeless, with no vitality at all.
She thought for a while and said, "Grandpa, I can help you and let you see grandma."
"However, you have to tell me what my grandma's name is and where she is from..."
The old man glanced at her, suddenly smiled.
"Are you here to listen to the story too?"
Lilly was puzzled, here to listen to the story too?
The old man said to himself, "In the past two years, there have been countless people..."
"However, if you want to hear it, I can also tell you one last time..."
It was the last time, and after this time, there would be no need to say it again.
The old man looked at the sea, and it was like this every time. It was painful to recall his memories every time, but after being asked about it, he could not help but tell about it.
Because he missed her, and it was more painful for him not to let it out.
"Her name is Nancy… Nancy Howard," The old man said quietly, "We are from Shukistan."
"We were very in love when we were young, and we often met to go boating by the lake. She likes the lake very much."
"I promised her before that I would definitely take her to the most beautiful and largest lake to row a boat, play in the water together, and watch the seagulls fly."
"In that year, we got engaged. In another year, when the new house in our hometown is built, we would go back… To live with our parents… To do something in the village."
"For this reason, we all worked hard, saved money, and imagined the life after marriage in the future. Although it was very hard, thinking about it this way gave us hope again."
However, no one expected that a sudden earthquake destroyed the entire city.
"Nancy was buried below..."
He hoped that she never came and left him to just be lonely in this life. He also felt unwilling if she had not been here, and missed the prosperity of this life.
"Afterwards, everyone left, and after the bustle and bustle, it was empty again. This was repeated every day."
He suddenly could not bear such emptiness, so he chose to leave quietly, leaving the place.
When he came to the Bondee Beach, he originally wanted to relax, but he could not bear the longing.
The old man smiled lonely, "I really miss her so much..."
He really thought about it so much that he could not bear it any longer.
He wanted to just jump into the Bondee Sea like this, even if she blamed him after passing, he would be satisfied.
Lilly held the old man's hand tightly, and said softly, "Don't worry, old man, grandma will definitely be waiting for you."
There were always people who were concerned about their living lover after death, unwilling to be reincarnated, and struggling to survive in Fengdu ghost town...
The soul will be thin, and it may have dissipated before it's too late.
However, the old man remembered her, and made many people remember her. For those who remember her, the dead souls will not dissipate in the Ghost Town.
Lilly was about to say that she would take him to see grandma, but at this moment a voice suddenly sounded.
"Ah… It's you! Old man, so you're here!" Anne held her mobile phone and said in surprise, "I didn't expect to see you here, old man, let's go over there and sit down!"
It turned out that Anne was sitting behind the tree, and was looking for a hotel on her mobile phone, when she suddenly heard a very familiar story.
