Hidden Assassin: Rain in the Qingming Festival Author: The Skeleton of Nature Roll


"It rains during the Qingming Festival, and the pedestrians on the road want to die..." Lang Lang reads, the girl stands up the textbook to block her face, and lay on the table lazily looking at the gray sky outside the window. Tomorrow will be Qingming. Although it is a pleasure not to go to school during the vacation, I still have to go to the grandpa’s tomb. I can’t go outing with Xiaohua and the others in the same class, which is inevitably disappointing. Speaking of the grandfather, the girl had no impression at all, as if her grandpa was gone when her mother was still very young. When it comes to feelings, there is no more. In the girl's heart, there is even a bit of hatred for the grandpa. If it were not for the irresponsible person, the grandma would not have been so hard.

   "Boom", a flying chalk head interrupted the girl's thoughts. Looking up at the old maiden with glasses on the podium, the face was more gloomy than the sky outside the window. The girl quickly picked up the textbook and read aloud, "I ask the restaurant. Where is there, the shepherd boy refers to Xinghua Village"...

   When I went home from school and sat down at the dining table, the girl was still embarrassed to think of the thrills of the afternoon class.

  "Why? Taotao is on my mind?" Grandma asked with a smile.

  Of course, the girl wouldn’t bring up the embarrassment in class in front of her grandma, and she hurriedly switched the subject, "Haha, it’s okay, haha, yes, grandma, mom’s nickname is Taotao, right?"

   "Well, yes... Tomorrow will be clear again." Grandma said lightly, and fell silent...

  As if knowing that she had said something wrong, the girl quickly smirked, holding up her job to cover her face, and secretly glanced at her grandma's face.

   Grandma is getting older, her hair is very white, but there are not many wrinkles on her face. You can vaguely see her beauty back then. In recent years, grandma’s legs and feet are inconvenient, and it is only the girl Taotao and her mother that sweeping the graves of the grandma. Recalling the ordinary face on the tombstone photo of the foreign cemetery that had to fall into the crowd and could no longer be found, I felt that my grandmother really didn't match him, and it smelled like a princess and a gray guy.

   Grandma is always strong in front of others. Every time I mentioned Grandpa, I just smiled faintly and didn't say anything. But Taotao knew that grandma would often sit on the rocking chair on the balcony for a long time in the dead of night.

  Taotao thought of this, grandma seemed to have also noticed the awkward silence, and couldn’t help laughing, "The fish is very fresh today, Taotao, you eat more!"……

   Get up in the morning, and the sky is as gloomy as yesterday, as if it is pressing on people's hearts. The girl yawned and walked out of the room. She found that her grandmother had been sitting on the rocking chair on the balcony sometime, but she had fallen asleep, sleeping very deep. She quietly added a blanket to her grandma, looking at the smile on her mouth while she was asleep. The girl suddenly felt a strange feeling. Could it be that grandma has always felt happiness?

   When I went out with my mother, it was already raining lightly outside. It rains a lot during the Qingming Festival, it seems like Grandpa is not that annoying...
