Chapter 23: Pattern Rings
Chapter 23: Pattern Rings
"Su Su ......" Grandpa changed his look of being moved again and looked at me.
I waved my hand: "Don't you say yes, okay, I'm too lazy to ask, I'll leave tomorrow, go on a trip, you can make money in the store, and when I reach the age of thirty-five, I'll lie directly in the coffin, you bury me, just do it." β
"What nonsense?" As soon as my grandfather heard this, he immediately straightened his face and looked at me sternly.
"Nonsense? Am I talking nonsense? Grandpa Su, you know it yourself, I can only live to thirty-five at most, even if you want to break the curse, it will be while I am alive, right? Otherwise, it will be in vain, and there is no one in our vein. I glared at him, a tear in my eye.
"Su Su ......" Grandpa looked at me seriously: "I know you are bitter in your heart, I am trying to ......"
"Grandpa!" I let out a loud shout.
He looked at me with distress in his eyes, and I finally couldn't help but step forward, leaning my head on his chest and wrapping my arms around his waist tightly.
His big hand patted me gently on the back, and I didn't need him to speak, just listening to the sound of his beating heart in his chest calmed my very irritable mood a lot.
I shouted in my voice, "Grandpa......"
"I'm sorry, it's grandpa who is not good...... I've been looking for it for so long, but I can't gather all the things I need to break the spell...... It's useless," Grandpa touched my head, his voice choked.
"Don't say that...... You did your best......" I shook my head in his arms, but I still caught the loophole in his words.
After dinner, grandpa wanted to go upstairs to rest, I made a look at the dots, she nodded clearly, hung a sign at the door that was not open today, and floated back to the room, I held a bottle of red wine in my hand, two glasses, slowly shook to the door of grandpa's room, kicked the door with my foot, and then leaned against the door and waited for the old man to finish cleaning up the things to hide, and then open the door.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw that I understood, and unnaturally touched the hair mixed with a few gray hairs.
"Two drinks?" I raised an eyebrow at him.
"Uh...... Cough...... If you drink it before going to bed...... "He squeaked and blocked the door, and didn't mean to let me in."
"Will sleep better." The corners of my mouth were raised, and I stretched my head in front of him: "Grandpa, your complexion is very good, and if you drink some red wine, it will be even more moving." β
"Ahem...... No big or small, how can you talk to grandpa? "Grandpa's face was red when I said it, and his expression was even more unnatural.
I shrugged my shoulders indifferently, knowing that he was tempted now, and for me and grandpa, drinking was the best way for me to get together.
Without giving him a chance to refuse, I went into the room, sat down on his large, fluffy couch, poured two glasses of wine, picked up one of them, and raised it to my grandfather, who was still standing in the doorway.
He sighed, closed the door and walked back, sat down next to me, and took the cup: "Susu, why are you so stubborn, there are some things that you can leave alone." β
"I really don't want to care...... It would be nice if I didn't have to worry about anything......" I sighed, shaking my glass lightly as I watched the dark red liquid melt in the glass, and my mood was much lower.
"You can do it, leave it to me, I'll just come." Grandpa frowned.
"If you're still in your fifties, I'll give it to you, but you don't think so?" I tilted my head and looked at him with a smile, but my eyes were full of sadness.
"Alas...... I miss my generation, before the age of forty, has been working hard to support the family's business, finally have your father, I thought, a qiΔ will get better, I lived a good time for more than 20 years, until you were born, I didn't know, a qiΔ has just begun, I spent almost twenty-five years, looking for a way to break the curse, but until today, but still nothing, grandpa is a failure, and it has affected you......" grandpa said, shaking his head, I saw tears, Thrown from his face.
I frowned, reached out and grabbed his hand: "Grandpa, I didn't blame you, it's not that you have burdened me, it is that I have been burdening you." β
"It's not...... It's grandpa's incompetence......" Grandpa shook his head, poured down the glass of red wine in his hand, and then began to cough incessantly.
I wanted to pat him on the back, but he blocked him and looked at me apologetically: "Girl, I'm sorry ......"
I smiled sadly: "If you want to say Toti, it should be me, not you, the curse of the Su family has been a thousand years, and the genealogy also said that every only daughter will kill her parents after she is born, isn't it?" Mom and Dad let me die, it's okay, and you, otherwise, how should I live? β
"Susu ......" Grandpa looked at me sadly.
"So...... I am the nemesis of the Su family, the responsibility is also mine, not you, this curse can be broken, just break it, no, don't force it. After I said this, I breathed a sigh of relief, I felt a lot easier, it turned out that I didn't want to find any way to break the curse, this matter has plagued the Su family for thousands of years, if in my generation, the Su family is really broken, then, this matter will be over.
Grandpa shook his head and looked at me firmly: "Don't think about it, no, I must break it and let you live well." β
I stretched out my arms and leaned on the back of the sofa behind me, my head tilted back, looking at the ceiling and sighing, but my heart was full of mixed feelings.
Suddenly, my neck was cold, and I immediately looked up to see my grandfather standing in front of me, holding the ring around my neck.
"Where did it come from?" Grandpa stared at me sternly.
"Someone else gave it."
"Who gave it?"
"Statement."
"Where did he come from?"
"Picked up in the Soul Gathering Array."
"......" Grandpa silently let go of his hand, sat back on the sofa, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it in a big gulp.
I looked straight and pouted, I really wanted to remind him that this was wine, not cold and white.
After a long while, Grandpa spoke again: "What else is left?" β
"Who are you referring to? In the Soul Gathering Array, or a statement? "I looked at him, it's not normal, grandpa's condition is not normal now.
"Statement." Grandpa looked up at me.
I haven't seen this look for a long time, usually in the case of extremely strict zhΓ²ng, he will appear this kind of look, with strict sΓΉ in the scrutiny, with a warning in the deep heart, my heart is also pinched, I can only nod obediently: "There is a picture." β
"Give it to me." Grandpa nodded.
I immediately got up and ran back to my room, took out the picture that I had left for the statement, and showed it to my grandfather.
He looked at the picture for a while, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and my heart became tighter and tighter.
"Take it down." Grandpa pointed to my neck.
I immediately took the ring and handed it to him.
He took the object to the desk, mixed it with cinnabar, and smeared it on the ring thickly and delicately, then took out a clean piece of paper and carefully rubbed it on it.
I looked at the pattern he rubbed down, and my eyes couldn't help but narrow, it was not the same as what the statement gave? Could it be that there is a problem with the rubbing technique?
After the grandfather rubbed the ring, he picked up a piece of rune paper, dotted it with cinnabar, drew a seal on the rune paper, burned it, threw it in a clay pot, and then threw the ring into it.
Seeing that he had done this, I pointed to the clay pot: "Put it in?" β
"Well, let's put it in first, and I'll give it to you tomorrow." Grandpa didn't look up, his eyes kept on the rubbed paper.
"What's up there?" I asked him, pointing to the paper.
"The spell for the resurrection, and the eight characters of his birth." Grandpa glanced up at me.
"It's not the same as this one." I pointed to the one left behind by the statement.
"It's different, his one should be the whole picture on the stone plate in the soul gathering array, and this one is on the ring, of course it's different." Grandpa reached for a towel on the table, wiped his hands, and walked to the sofa.
I looked at the two pieces of paper, and before I could understand it, my neck was pulled, and I asked my grandfather all the way back to the sofa, and when I sat down, I raised my eyebrows and asked him: "Is there a problem with the eight characters of the birthday?" β
