Cloud found the Crawford family's ancestral home according to the address.
This feeling was very strange. He missed his home in the human world, but he also had a home in the underworld...
The ancestral home of the Crawford family.
An old man was sitting on the sofa bored, watching "TV".
The underworld government was no good. It was already a high-tech world at the top, but the underworld was still running on slow networks.
Oh no, not even the slow network was connected.
"So why did they send a TV for me?" The old man muttered, "The screen still sucks after they send it here."
The old man took out his mobile phone again, "Why did they send me this iFone? It can't be used, maybe they should send me an Endroid... Perhaps the Endroid could open up connectivity in the underworld."
Useless things.
The old man threw his cell phone aside out of boredom and walked to the garden to take a look.
"The night flowers are blooming well."
The old man hummed a song again, grabbed a stool and sat next to the flower.
"I have a rest today. I can accompany you," The old man took the scissors and chatted with the flowers while giving them a trim, "I have saved so much virtue, it should be enough. Alas, the main reason is that I am bored every day without working."
"I used to work nine to five when I was alive, but now I am still working nine to five in the underworld... These bastards have such a long life, why don't any of them come down and take over from me..."
"Forget it… Just live longer. After all, it's boring to guard the ancestral home after coming down, don't you think? It's better for them to live longer."
The old man was chattering, with a faint smile on his face.
He was thinking about them again, especially his great-great-granddaughter? Granddaughter? Lilly… That little girl.
She would always chat with him when he went back in early autumn. The few little kids from the Crawford family in this generation were also pretty good, right? Josh? He remembered this name, as well as Hannah, Drake, and Zachary. These little guys were pretty good too.
Other children could not sit still, but they liked to chat with him.
"I wonder how Lilly is doing. This little King of Hell is not easy."
"The New Year should be over. A few days ago, they had a feast during the New Year with fishes from the Snow Mountain and... and whatnot, free-range chicken..."
"The early autumn will be in a few months."
The old man's eyes lit up when he thought of this, and he began to have new expectations.
In a few months, it would be early autumn, and after another month or two it would be October 31st...
Just like this, he looked forward to it day by day and counted his days...
Cloud stood outside the courtyard gate and listened to his ancestor talking to himself for a long time without saying a word.
It turned out that the loneliness they were talking about was this, the state of being alone for a long time.
He was looking forward to having a few people to keep him company, but he was also afraid that his descendants would not have a good life in the world, so what were they going to do here?
