Chapter 242
I didn’t send the five hundred yuan Xiao Xuan had given me to the Blind Old Man right away.
The main reason was that the urban village was too far away. Even by car, it would take more than an hour.
On top of that, work had been a little busy, and I had a lot of things to take care of, so I planned to wait until I got through the next couple of days before bringing the money to the Blind Old Man. I would also take him some food and drinks while I was at it.
But I truly never expected that life and death could sometimes come so suddenly, catching people completely off guard.
Two days later, when Song Xiaotian, Meng Yifan, and I went to visit the Blind Old Man together, he had already passed away.
He had died at home, lying peacefully on his bed with both hands resting flat over his lower abdomen.
But because the weather was too hot, his body had already begun to smell.
We called the funeral home, handled his final affairs in a simple manner, and placed his ashes in a columbarium. We bought him an urn that was neither especially good nor especially poor.
After taking care of his funeral arrangements, we returned to his home and helped tidy up his belongings.
