Sky-mending Immortal Companions

"Yi, why did the sky change?"

"It was fine just now .."

It was noon at the end of summer and the sun was hanging high in the sky. There was no sign of rain. Suddenly, heavy clouds appeared in the sky and covered the scorching sun.

This strange weather phenomenon rarely occurred, only once in the past year.

The sun was high in the sky and the villagers were hiding at home, not daring to go out.

Some people were taking a nap, the weather was too hot, and some people were unable to sleep. They held onto things that they could fan, constantly moving about.

It was suddenly dark outside, and those who could not sleep were surprised.

The sky darkened as signs of rain began to arrive. Some of the villagers walked out of the houses, looked around, and then hid back in the houses. Some of the villagers didn't want to come out at all.

The change in the weather outside the house did not affect Tian Ci and the old woman. In the eyes of the grandfather and granddaughter duo, only they did not pay any attention to the changes in the weather outside.

"Child, didn't you ask us before why you didn't have a name? There was a reason for that, so Grandmother will tell you today!"

Everyone else had their own name, so why didn't he have it? Heaven's Gift had indeed asked his grandparents before.

At the time, my grandparents just smiled and didn't say much.

Now that it was time for her grandson to know the truth, the old woman decided not to hide it anymore.

"Grandma, is it because I'm not your biological grandson?"

Knowing that she had a different background, even if her grandmother told her, she would still be able to guess why her grandparents didn't give her a name.

"Mmm, our family's bestowal is really smart. That's indeed the reason."

"Three years ago, your grandfather decided not to give you a name, and already wanted you to recognize your ancestors."

Was it really that important to have a family name?

He was born but did not raise him. He was raised without him, and in the heart of Providence, ever since the day he approved of his grandparents, he had decided to follow his grandfather's surname.

"Grandma, I'm your grandson. Of course I'm using your surnames!"

His son died too early, and he didn't leave his family with a bloodline. How could the old woman not want to follow her husband's name?

There had been more than one time when she had wanted to give her husband's surname and leave a trail of incense for her family. Unfortunately, her husband had always refused her, so she hadn't done that.

"Child, perhaps your parents have already given you a name. Regardless of whether you have a name or not, in your grandfather and I, you are our grandson and will never change."

"Grandmother!"

He was just an abandoned child, yet he was able to obtain the full love of his grandparents. To have such a good grandparent, he felt that he was the happiest person in the world.

"Your grandfather was right. In our later years, we were already very satisfied to have you to accompany us. We can no longer have any hopes, nor can we take away everything that belongs to you, including the name that should have belonged to you."

Everything that was bestowed by the heavens?

Other than some golden threads, there was nothing else that proved his identity when he was discarded.

Last name?

No one knew who he was.

Was the surname really that important?

At the moment, nothing mattered more to him than his grandparents.

"Grandmother, you and grandpa are my everything!"

"Hehe, my son, after hearing your words, your grandfather and I have no regrets!"

His only son had died. This was the greatest regret of Tian Ci's grandparents. If they didn't have a few more children, then they would have no children to inherit their family's legacy.

Although Heaven's Gift wasn't his own biological grandson, they had always raised it as their biological grandson.

Even if her grandson didn't have the same surname as her husband, the old woman wouldn't have any regrets.

"Child, if your family comes to find you after I leave, then you will leave with them!"

"If your parents didn't come looking for you, then go looking for them when you grow up!"

The two old men knew that they would not live for long, that they would not be able to see Heaven's Gift grow up and marry and have children. They were also worried that after they left, Heaven's Gift would once again become an orphan.

"When your grandfather was still alive, he had always asked the village chief to inquire about your parents."

"It's a pity that there has been no news about it. If it wasn't for your grandfather and I having trouble moving about, we would have definitely gone to look for it ourselves!"

"Finding your family, this is what your grandfather and I wish for!"

His grandparents had raised him, taught him how to read, taught him how to be a good person, and even asked for news about his parents. Their kindness was not enough to describe their love for him.

Grandparents do not forget to consider their own death, the gift did not dare to disappoint their hearts.

"Grandma, I will!"

The two old men didn't hide how much money there was in the family. After all, the money was originally the grandson's, and they were only taking care of it for the time being.

Now that his wife had left and he was about to leave, it was about time for him to account for the family's wealth.

"Also, Child bestowment, the family's money, you know where to put it."

"Your grandfather and I split the money into two. One was used to raise you into an adult, and all these years, we spent a bit of it while the other was used to give you a wife."

"Sigh!" Unfortunately, your grandfather and I can't see you getting married! "

"After I leave, you should remember to keep the money properly. Don't spend it carelessly, okay?"

For three years, all the money except for three meals a day had been spent on grandchildren, and the two old men had distributed the money fairly among themselves, never spending a single cent.

"Grandmother, grandson will remember this!"

Yesterday, when the sun was high in the sky and the sky was suddenly covered by dark clouds, the villagers thought that there would be a storm coming. However, after a while, the dark clouds dissipated and the sun still blazed.

Today's weather was almost the same as yesterday's. It was yet another unbearably hot day.

In the afternoon, the scorching sun was still like fire when it suddenly appeared again.

The sky was suddenly covered in dark clouds, and the blazing sun was covered by dark clouds. Thunder rumbled, lightning snakes soared into the clouds, and heavy rain anticipated by the villagers was not about to fall.

"What the hell is going on with this damn weather?"

"It can't be like yesterday, right?"

The weather was hot. No one dared to go out to work. Some people slept, while others worried.

The sudden sound of thunder woke up the sleeping villagers.

When those who were sleeping woke up, those who were not, stood up and left the room. They raised their heads to look at the sky and were very curious.

"That's not right, something happened to your Feng family!"

"Quick, everyone come with me to his house!"

Yesterday, the sky suddenly changed. Everyone thought that it was a natural phenomenon, but today, it was even better than yesterday.

The sky was overcast with dark clouds, strong gales, and torrential rain. Other than the previous year, which he had seen once, such a strange weather had never happened before.

Some people say that the heavens only thunder does not rain, it must be the gods punish those who are extremely vicious, or those who do not filial piety.

If something like this were to happen elsewhere, the village chief would probably think so too.

However, there was only one thing that happened in their village.

Child bestowal. Needless to say, it was definitely a gift from the heavens. It was smart, kind, and helpful. It was something that the villagers liked, and they liked to call it child bestowing.

No matter if what the Village Head said was true, all the villagers would follow him to the Heavenly Jewel Master's house.

In the afternoon, Grandmother did not sleep, so Tian Ci had to stay by her grandmother's bed and ask around, waiting to serve her.

The old man was most afraid of loneliness. He always accompanied his grandmother and told her stories.

As they chatted, the old woman stared at her grandson, as if she wanted to remember him forever. Suddenly, a white figure appeared behind her grandson and stared at her ..

"Zhi'er, is your grandpa here to pick me up?"

How could it be possible for her grandfather to come?

"Grandmother .."

He was old, his eyes were weak, and his vision was blurry. He could not see clearly.

As for whether there were people there or not, it was still clear that there were. There were clearly no people, but they could see that it was not an old feeling of dizziness, but an illusion.

An illusion?

The old woman didn't believe that it was an illusion and believed even more that her husband had come.

"You're here. Are you bringing me away?"

Hearing his grandmother's words, Zhang Tie felt a chill run down his spine. He followed her gaze and turned around, only to find that there was nothing behind him.

"Grandma, don't scare me!"

He used to hear stories about ghosts and gods from his aunts and uncles, and Heaven's Gift was scared, even if it was his own grandfather.

That fear was not fear for his grandfather, but fear for the ghosts and gods.

At the same time, hearing his grandmother's words, he was even more afraid that his grandmother would leave him.

"Zhi'er, your grandpa is here. I'm leaving now. I can finally reunite with your grandpa!"

A year ago, when my grandfather died, my grandmother wanted to go with him.

At that time, he was only two years old, and living alone was difficult. For him, his grandmother's time had not come, so she stayed with him for an additional year.

Now that he was able to take care of himself and his grandmother's time was up, he should not be so selfish. He should fulfill his grandmother's wish and not wish for her to stay.

However, his grandmother really did leave, he grabbed her skinny hand, still unwilling to part with it.

"Wuuu .."

"Grandma, don't go. I beg you, don't leave me .."

He looked at his grandson pleading with him. Initially, he wanted to console him, but to his surprise, he found it difficult to breathe. He was about to lose the strength to even speak.

"I, I'm leaving, I'm leaving. You must, must, must, live, live, good, take good care of yourself, remember, remember, I, I, yesterday, yesterday, give, give, say, say .."

The old woman could only say one last sentence as she struggled with all her might.

Before she died, she secretly rejoiced that she had passed her last words to her grandson one day in advance.

With that last sentence, she closed her mouth and stopped breathing. Her eyes lost their luster, and her wrinkled face lost its color.

If one looked carefully at his grandmother, he would find that the smile on her face was still frozen.

That smile was the joy of being reunited with her husband. That smile was the smile of having a son, not having any regrets. That smile was her love for her grandson. That smile was her blessing for her grandson.

Her time was up, and she was powerless to reverse the situation. No matter how much Heaven's blessing begged, the old woman still left.

Grandmother left peacefully, God's blessing lay on her body, crying like a mess.

"My son, what happened?"

Thunder continued to clap in the sky, dark clouds covered the sky, lightning struck the ground, and a terrifying scene like this occurred. The gate of Tian Ci's house was closed, and one could still hear the faint sound of crying coming from inside.

Worried that something might happen to Tian Ci and the old woman, the Village Head broke into the house with the villagers.

"Milk, Grandma, let's go .."

Hearing the noise coming from outside the house, Tian Ci turned around just in time to see the village chief's uncle bringing his uncle and aunt into the house. They were crying as they told the news of their grandmother's death.

The old woman lying on the bed had no color on her face. Her eyes and mouth were closed.
