Chapter 6: The Dead Grandfather (1)
I don't have a very good impression of my grandfather, I think he seems to be a more serious person. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoBut I heard grandma say that although your grandpa looks unsmiling on the surface, he loves you no less than grandma. I heard that on the day I was born, my grandfather waited anxiously at home, and it was not until he saw my grandmother carry me back that he saw my grandfather smile.
Every expression of my grandfather is such a distant and vague memory for me.
When I hear this, I get a little discouraged.
I'm angry at why I feel so far away from my grandfather's figure.
After dinner, I sat in front of the window, looking at the twinkling stars in the sky, thinking that my grandfather should be a kind and kind person!
According to my grandmother, my grandfather left when I was about three years old. One day, my grandfather found that his urine was bleeding and went to a big hospital for treatment. It was a trivial matter, and I could have been discharged from the hospital the next day. How do you know that there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, the king of Hades wants you to die in the third watch, who dares to keep you until the fifth watch. The new nurse took the wrong needle and water, and after the injection and medicine, my grandmother went out to buy breakfast for my grandfather, and my grandfather suddenly passed away. One minute he was talking to his grandmother, and the next minute he was left with a cold corpse. Grandma was also very sad and excited at that time, and made a big fuss in the hospital to ask for an explanation. Later, the hospital fired the nurse and compensated for the loss, and the matter was over.
Grandma said that in her era, how could ordinary people fight with officials! The official word was double, and the nurse's relatives were officials, and this matter was suppressed at once.
And grandpa is dead, grandma has to prepare for grandpa's death, no matter how sad and sad she is, she can't change what has happened. And at that time, I was still young, and I was stored in Grandpa Hu's house, and my grandmother couldn't leave for a long time, so I returned to the small village with my grandfather's body.
Next, Grandpa went into the coffin, and those things were handled with the help of Grandpa Hu and Granny Miao.
Life in the countryside has always been a habit of going to bed early. I'm certainly no exception. After dinner, I pestered my grandmother to tell a story, and fell asleep while listening......
That night, I was sleeping, and I was in a daze, and in my dream I heard someone calling my name, a voice that I was not familiar with. It felt far away, but the words were clear, and it seemed to be enchanted and followed the direction of the sound.
"Xiaoqing, come here! Come here! I'm your grandfather! Come here!" Following the source of the voice, I dreamed of my unmasked grandfather. Grandpa came back and said he was going to take me away, he took out a lot of delicious food, I haven't seen it, the flowers are very beautiful, large and small shapes, people are immediately intoxicated when they see it, and people are confused. My grandfather's face was blurry, and although I tried to see his face clearly, I couldn't see it clearly, as if there was a faint layer of smoke covering my eyes.
Feeling that my grandfather was smiling, he took my hand and suddenly went to the old tree in front of the courtyard gate. The old tree in the dream felt very different, towering into the sky, lush and green, with green grass under the tree, and many mushrooms in various shapes, some bent over, some lowered their heads, some straightened up, and some only stuck out their heads. Looking up at the sky, the white clouds were wriggling, and the white clouds all turned into animals of different shapes. A cloud of white clouds floated at my feet and turned into a large number of colorful candies, and I couldn't leave this picture.
Grandpa held a handful of candy in his hand, and said to me with a smile, you eat, and when you finish eating, you will go with grandpa, there are still many interesting things over there, and there are many delicious things. Xiaoqing, you must like it.
I really wanted to stretch out my hand, but I missed my grandmother, so I asked my grandfather, can I take my grandmother with me? I was afraid that my grandmother would not find me, and if my grandmother didn't leave, then I wouldn't go, I wanted to be with my grandmother.
Suddenly, Grandpa disappeared, and the foreground gradually blurred, and he looked up to look ahead, but the scene in front of him was all hazy, and he couldn't see anything really, as if he was covered with a layer of tissue paper.
"I'm so lonely down there!" The cold voice suddenly sounded in my ears, and the amiable grandfather just now suddenly disappeared in an instant, and the thick black mist exuded a cold dead air.
The style of painting suddenly changed, and I suddenly found myself standing on a very high cliff, looking down in horror at the cliff at my feet, as steep as an axe and a knife. There was endless darkness under his feet, so dark and silent that it was creepy. Suddenly, the mountains shook, and in the midst of shaking, I felt that I could fall into the dark valley at any moment, and I would be crushed!
Suddenly there was a person in front of me, desperately pulling my arm, that person had a lot of strength, I couldn't pull him, I was frightened, helpless, and timid, so I cried, crying and shaking.
Just when I was about to cry helplessly and was about to be dragged into the darkness, a pavilion suddenly appeared next to me. The dull vermilion, the light gray of the decadent Tang Dynasty, and the lacquer oil on the wooden pillars have been corroded by antiquity, but there is a kind of vicissitudes of beauty. I didn't have time to think about it so much, I reached out and hugged one of the pillars of the pavilion, and suddenly a golden light flashed, and I screamed in surprise, and woke up from my dream.
Grandma was woken up by my big movements, pushed me, touched my forehead again, found me sweaty, asked me if I had a nightmare, I cried, grandma hugged me at once, and gently patted me on the back with her left hand.
When I turned on the light, my grandmother helped me get a clean dress, took off my clothes and looked at it, and was stunned for a moment, there were many bruises and purples on my arms, and marks of different sizes. Grandma probably knew what was going on at this time, so she hurriedly helped me get dressed and went straight to Grandpa Hu's house in the middle of the night.
Grandma banged Grandpa Hu's courtyard door and shouted, "Master Tiger, Master Tiger, don't sleep, get up and see if Xiaoqing has hit something dirty?"
Grandpa Hu also turned on the light to open the door quickly, lifted my clothes, saw the bruise mark on his arm, pondered, and asked, "Xiaoqing, tell Grandpa Hu, what did you dream?" I looked at the scars on my arms, I was a little frightened, and my tears couldn't stop staying, "Grandpa said to take me away, there are a lot of delicious and fun things over there, I think grandma refused to go, and someone desperately pulled my arm to pull me down." ā
"This old fellow, is he old and confused? Usually every New Year's festival does not burn things for him, ingots, paper money, which is not the granddaughter to help fold, this old fool!" grandma said to herself, I looked at grandma, and then looked at Grandpa Hu, suddenly a little scared, cold sweat broke out on my back, I felt that grandpa was in this room, and grabbed grandma's hand suddenly.
