Chapter 11 The Millennial Locust Tree
"Grandpa, I'...... Feed? ”
What's going on? He hung up before I finished speaking, what did he know?
The next day, I took a day off with my boss. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 At first, he didn't agree, but in desperation, I still threatened him with some things he had with a female leader, so I was granted a day off.
After driving for more than four hours, I finally arrived at the head of the village. There is an old locust tree at the head of the village, and no one knows how old the old locust tree is. It's just that when I was a child, I heard my grandfather say that this tree existed in the grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's generation.
"Ge'er, are you back?" Aunt Liu, a neighbor, was enjoying the shade under the locust tree and waved when she saw me.
I stopped the car and said hello to her: "Yes, Aunt Liu is here to cool off?"
She got up and walked to the car, took out a paper bag wrapped in toilet paper from her bag and handed it to me: "This is 50 yuan borrowed from your grandfather some time ago, you can help me bring it to him, and I won't go."
"Aunt Liu, no need. It's been a long time since I've seen your Junjun, so I'll bring Junjun something to eat. "I didn't take the money handed over by Aunt Liu, looking at her calloused hands, I felt quite uncomfortable.
Fifty yuan may not be a big deal for us, but fifty yuan is not easy to earn in the countryside.
"No, take it!" Aunt Liu threw the paper bag directly from the car window, turned around and ran in the direction of the old locust tree.
The paper bag accidentally fell under the seat, I bent over and finally took the paper bag out from under the seat, ready to return it to Aunt Liu, but where is Aunt Liu's shadow around?
You can't go that fast, do you? Maybe she was afraid that I would return the money to her, so she deliberately hid.
Never mind! Let's go back first.
I parked the car on the side of the road, and as soon as I walked to the door, I saw my grandfather and father sitting in the yard with heavy faces.
"Grandpa, Dad, I'm back." I walked over and suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere: "What's wrong with you?" Why is this expression? ”
Grandpa glanced at his father, stood up and rubbed his waist. Grandpa is old, his waist is not good, and he is prone to back pain when he sits for a long time.
I walked over and was about to help my grandfather knead it, when he gently pushed me away: "Let's eat first when we come back."
"Oh!" I pouted, their reactions today were so strange. I put my hand in my coat pocket and suddenly touched the paper bag given by Aunt Liu.
I hurriedly handed it to my grandfather: "Grandpa, I just met Aunt Liu at the entrance of the village, and she asked me to give it to you."
"What?" Grandpa's body shook suddenly, and he was visibly surprised to hear my words.
"What's wrong?" I don't know why.
Dad came over and said solemnly, "Your Aunt Liu passed away a week ago."
"But I saw her just now, it's daylight, and it's impossible to see the hell. Well, the money she gave is still here. "I opened the paper bag, and there were a few pieces of change neatly placed inside, each with ten dollars and five cents.
"Ahem......" Grandpa covered his chest and coughed hard, I was just about to walk over, grandpa raised his hand to stop my movements: "Where did you see her?"
"It's under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village." I told my grandfather about it as it was.
"No wonder, no wonder......" Grandpa muttered two sentences: "The locust tree gathers shade, and the locust tree at the entrance of the village is hundreds of thousands of years old, so it is not strange to see her during the day."
My heart trembled suddenly, it was hard to imagine that I had just seen Aunt Liu standing in front of me, but I didn't expect her to be dead......
