Chapter 5: The Hanging Soul
At this time, my mother suddenly realized something, and hurriedly ran to the coffin and looked inside.
Just by glancing, my mother's face immediately turned pale, and as soon as she rolled her eyes, she fainted directly to the ground.
Fortunately, my uncle was quick to hold my mother and pinched my mother, so my mother finally came to her senses.
As soon as my mother recovered, she immediately hugged me and cried: "Which god is the one who wants to harm my family Xiaofan, this is a man who bullied our orphans and widows, and he has lost his conscience, you ...... You're an animal......"
My uncle also saw the situation in the coffin, and his face was also pale, and he swallowed several mouthfuls of spit, and finally settled down.
"Fifth Master...... This ......" the uncle looked at the fifth master with a distressed gaze.
The fifth master sighed helplessly: "This is your family's family matter, and I can't take care of it." ”
The fifth master looked at the villagers again: "Folks, everyone is messy enough, let's not make trouble for others, let's go home, don't stay here to eat." ”
With that, the fifth master took the lead and left.
The villagers also avoided me as if they were plague gods, bypassing me from afar, and went home as if they were fleeing.
The relatives and friends who gave my grandfather's funeral simply comforted the family a few words, and they all left in a hurry.
Even the two concubines took the children home.
After they went out, I heard them say to their cousins and cousins not to play with me in the future.
Now it's my mother, my uncle, and me left.
I always felt like everybody knew what was going on, but I was kept in the dark.
Although I don't know the specifics, I can guess from their reactions: the contents of the coffin must have something to do with me. And I'm just a sweep now, and whoever comes close to me will be unlucky.
I'm more curious about what's in the coffin.
So I stood up and prepared to take a look.
But my mother grabbed my hand: "Xiaofan, don't go to see it...... Woo, mom is just your son, you must not have an accident......"
My uncle came up to comfort my mother and said, "Sister, don't cry yet, cover the coffin first." Don't worry, your second brother and I will definitely protect Xiaofan. ”
My mom wiped away her tears and pulled me out of the mourning hall, knowing she was afraid I would see the contents of the coffin.
After that, my uncle, my uncle, and my mother re-closed the lid of the coffin, covered it with a black veil, and pressed it with a stone.
After cleaning up, my mother wiped away her tears and said, "Big brother and second brother, you come to the house, I know who did it." ”
With that, my mother took me into the hall, followed by my uncle and second uncle.
My mother said: "I think it must have been Xiao Fan's grandmother who did it, and she wanted to kill Xiao Fan." ”
When the eldest and second uncles heard this, they immediately became anxious and wanted to reprimand my mother.
After all, I am my grandmother's grandson, and I know that my grandmother used to love me the most, and everyone thought it was nonsense to say that my grandmother wanted to kill me.
My mother hurriedly explained: "Big brother and second brother, don't worry, listen to me explain slowly." ”
My mother told my two uncles about my grandmother's strange behavior in the past two days.
Including my grandmother, who has always scared me with a dead mouse in the past few days, and even cursed me to death yesterday, and even replaced the photo of the mourning hall with my photo.
After hearing this, the uncle immediately patted his head in annoyance: "I think our mother is a little strange in the past two days, and I saw her stealing raw rice alone the night before yesterday, and laughing while eating." ”
The second uncle was frightened, and hurriedly said: "In that case, it's really our mother who stole my father's body, and then took Xiaofan's ......."
My mother hurriedly coughed and stopped my second uncle.
The second uncle glanced at me with a taboo look, and swallowed the rest of the words back.
My mother said: "No matter what, I must find my father's body, and I must not let Xiaofan have an accident......"
From their conversations, I seem to understand something.
The body of the grandfather in the coffin was missing, and they thought that the grandmother had stolen it.
Grandma also put in some things about "me", in order to kill me and leave Grandpa behind.
Listening to them, it seems that if I find my grandfather's body, I will be saved.
So what's in the coffin now, and why are all the people who see it so scared?
Then I remembered the words of the little girl in the white dress, who said that she saw me lying in the coffin......
In the coffin, is it really me?
So what kind of thing am I now?
The uncle said, "Okay, let's go find our mother first." My mother has been missing all morning, and even if she didn't do it, I don't think it has anything to do with her. ”
The second uncle also said angrily: "Hey, our mother is really confused. Dad just left, why do you have to hurt Xiaofan and forcibly leave your dad behind. ”
The three of them discussed, looked for each other in the village, and then prepared to go out.
But before they could go out, a familiar figure appeared at the door.
It was the grandmother who had been missing all morning.
I noticed that my grandmother looked tired and yawned, but she was not limping when she walked.
When my mother saw my grandmother, she was angry and excited.
But in the end, she still suppressed the anger in her heart, walked up and knelt down for her grandmother with a bang, and begged bitterly.
"Mom, I know you are reluctant to give up your father, but you can't harm Xiaofan, come and keep your father. ”
"Please, hand over Daddy's body. Daddy is gone, let him rest in peace. ”
"Xiao Fan is my lifeline, if he wants to have three long and two short, I won't be able to live. ”
"If you are reluctant to give up your father, it is okay to exchange my life for my father's life, please, please, hand over my father. "My mother's crying voice was hoarse, and I felt distressed when I saw it.
And grandma was stunned, with an inexplicable face.
"Chuniel, what are you talking about? What is your father's corpse, what is harming Xiaofan? Isn't your father lying in a coffin? ”
At this time, the eldest uncle and the second uncle also came up and accused grandma: "Mom, don't pretend, we all know about you." ”
"You stole Dad's body, and then took Xiaofan's ...... Ahem, don't you just want to hang your soul, you want to exchange Xiaofan's life for your father's life. ”
Hearing what the eldest uncle and second uncle said, grandma's face turned angry with pig liver.
She raised her hand and was about to slap her uncle, but he dodged it.
Grandma scolded: "You white-eyed wolves, do you suspect that I have hanged your father's soul? Get out of here, your father will go to bed at the end of his life and go below to enjoy the blessings, why should I force him to stay?"
"Xiaofan is my own grandson, I am such a grandson, how can I be willing to harm Xiaofan?"
"I ...... I've really raised you for nothing, and none of them are a thing. ”
Grandma was out of breath, and she squatted on the ground and shed tears.
The eldest uncle and the second uncle were scolded by their grandmother and confused, looking at each other and hesitating.
The uncle said, "Could it be...... Did we really misunderstand Mom?"
The second uncle couldn't pay attention: "It should be ...... Yes, I'll just say, my mother hurts Xiaofan so much on weekdays, how can she hurt her...... And Mom's grievances don't look like she's pretending. ”
Even I began to wonder if we really misunderstood Grandma.
Grandma's aggrieved appearance really doesn't look like pretending.
The uncle asked, "Mom, you really didn't do that thing about hanging souls?"
Grandma was even more angry, pointing at her uncle's nose and scolding: "You turtle grandson, you ...... If you say I did it, I'm ...... I will deny you as a son. ”
Uncle was extremely embarrassed.
However, my mother firmly believed that my grandmother did it, and kept begging my grandmother.
Grandma is going crazy and wants to beat my mother.
The uncle hurriedly persuaded: "Eldest sister, don't cry yet, maybe there is a misunderstanding here." ”
My mother was already crying breathlessly: "Mom, you said that you didn't do it, so why did you curse Xiao Fan to die yesterday? Also, what do you mean by changing the photo of the mourning hall to Xiao Fan......'s? Don't you want Xiao Fan to die?"
Grandma kicked my mother angrily: "Dead girl, I really raised you for nothing, when did I curse Xiaofan? When did I change his photo...... Wait, you said to change the photo of the mourning hall to Xiao Fan's?"
My mom nodded.
Grandma suddenly thought of something, and wailed: "Old man, you...... You die and you don't live in peace, you ...... You are doing evil. ”
Grandma's howl shook my mother and quieted down.
The uncle hurriedly asked, "Mom, what the hell is going on with my father?"
Grandma said: "Yesterday...... Yesterday I dreamed of your father. I saw that your father put Xiaofan's photo on the mourning hall, so I asked him what he was doing, and he said that Xiaofan was dead, and he wanted to give Xiaofan a funeral...... I scolded that old thing half to death!"
"Chun Nier, do you really see that I put Xiaofan's photo?"
My mom nodded repeatedly.
Grandma cried even louder: "That old thing must have rushed at my body...... He's the one who controlled me from doing this. ”
My mother, uncle, and uncle were all terrified, and their bodies trembled.
Grandpa has really become a ghost, so he stays in this house!
And he also rushed at his grandmother's body!
I suddenly remembered that my grandfather had problems with his legs and feet before his death, and he walked with a limp.
From the moment grandma became weird, she also limped when she walked.
I can now basically be sure that all the things that my grandma did that were not good for me were done by my grandfather, not her intention.
"So, the matter of hanging souls was also done by my father?" After a long time, the uncle finally calmed down.
Grandma said, "It must have been that old bastard who rushed at me and controlled me to do it...... Hey, I ...... If I saw that old turtle grandson, I would have to kill him. ”
"Do you remember where you hid your body?" my mother asked quickly.
Grandma shook her head: "I don't remember, I don't remember at all...... Wait, someone might know. ”
"Who is it?" my mom asked hurriedly.
Grandma said, "A little girl wearing a pleated skirt and a ponytail, that little girl should be from the city." ”
I was stunned for a moment.
Isn't the little girl my grandmother talking about the same little girl who asked me to find a cat today?
I knew that little girl must not be easy!
