Chapter 4: Going Home
readx; "Shanshan? Shanshan! ”
Grandma Lin trembled and walked towards the person at the door, tears moistening her eyes. www.biquge.info Lin Shan hurriedly ran over to hug her, and she found that she was a head shorter than she had in her impression - five years, she had grown up, and she was getting older and older.
"Why didn't you say you were coming sooner...... There's still some food, I'll go get you two dishes! Grandma Lin said.
Lin Shan didn't say anything to stop it, first, she knew that she couldn't stop it, and second, she really missed her grandmother's craftsmanship. After eating, the grandfather and grandson sat in the courtyard, and Lin Shan suddenly felt that this scene was so similar to the dream in the morning. Grandma Lin looked at her and asked with pity, "Why did you come back suddenly?" Is there something wrong? ”
Lin Shan smiled: "No! ”
"You! You are the baby I raised, and no one understands your temperament better than grandma! Growing up, I don't like to dig out my heart with my grandmother! Grandma Lin wanted to touch her head, but found that she had grown taller and couldn't reach it, so she patted her face and asked, "Are you wronged?" Grandma has your back! ”
"I'm not wronged! I just miss you! I dreamed that you missed me too, and I came back! Lin Shan said.
Grandma Lin smiled with satisfaction: "It's a coincidence! I really dreamed of you! God knows that I miss my granddaughter, and I arranged it for me! ”
The next morning, Grandma Lin took Lin Shan to visit relatives' houses. Walking on a country road, the air smells earthy, and it is better to be clean. There are fewer vegetable fields in this area than in memory, and they are replaced by small "houses", and there are no copper bells under the eaves of each family - Lin Shan vaguely remembers that when she was young, one of the three families had a copper bell. Most of them are old and have been hanging for years. For the sake of the departed relatives, even after three years, they are reluctant to take off their ......
"Yo, isn't that Shanshan! I haven't seen each other in years! A plump aunt greeted her.
Lin Shan looked at the aunt's face, and shouted a little unconfidently: "Aunt Xiuqin!" ”
"Remember me!" Aunt Xiuqin stepped forward and pulled Lin Shan to the house, greeted Grandma Lin and said, "Aunt Lin, you will have dinner at my house at noon today!" ”
Lin Shan entered the house and saw a girl of her age nursing her child, this person was Aunt Xiuqin's daughter Yanzi. When they were young, they used to play together. Since Lin Shan went to the city, the two have lost contact, and even if she comes back occasionally, it is rare to get together. Now that they meet again, the other party is already the mother of a one-year-old child, which makes Lin Shan a little surprised, this can be regarded as the difference between a baby in the city and a baby in the countryside!
"It's a big change here!" Lin Shan said with emotion.
Yanzi smiled, with a hint of bitterness: "I really envy you!" ”
"Envy me? What do I have to envy? I envy you, having such a cute baby! Lin Shan said.
"I remember when we said we wanted to be city people together, but you went! As for me, I got married not long after I went to the city to work, and now I can only go home to take care of my children. There was helplessness in Yanzi's tone, which is the bitterness that only people who have experienced "life" understand.
Lin Shan didn't remember that she had such thoughts, and she didn't know how to comfort Yanzi, so she had to reach out and touch the little doll's face.
"I remember when you were a kid, you used to talk to yourself!" Swallow said again.
Lin Shan couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, she didn't remember that she had such a habit, and asked rhetorically, "Me?" Talk to oneself? ”
"Not really!" Yanzi deliberately lowered her voice and said, "At that time, my mother told me not to play with you all the time!" ”
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart! In the evening, Lin Shan sat in the yard, eating the dried sweet potatoes brought by her grandmother, and suddenly asked: "Grandma, did I often talk to myself when I was a child?" ”
Grandma Lin's expression froze: "Why did you suddenly remember to ask this?" ”
"Listen to the swallows in the afternoon, just ask!" Lin Shan said, hearing a bell. Xia Jing handed the copper bell back to her, and at this moment in the backpack in the house, she got up suddenly, only to see a white shadow fluttering, like the wind.
The old man of the Wu family in the west of the village is old, and a few days ago, he didn't wake up and passed away. On the night of the "first seven" soul, Wu Laoji hung up on his wife Cuirong and returned home in a trance. However, people and ghosts have different paths, and he wants to dream of a word, but because the yang energy of the living person is too heavy, he can't enter the body. He thought that this matter was hopeless, and wandered around the village in frustration, and when he passed by the courtyard of the Lin family, he felt that there was something different in it - when he passed by other houses, if there were people inside, he would be uncomfortable as soon as he approached, but when he arrived here, he was a little like a fish in water, and he floated in!
Grandma Lin felt a gust of cold wind blowing in, and when she saw her granddaughter suddenly stand up, she asked in surprise, "What's wrong?" ”
Before Lin Shan could respond, the old man noticed Grandma Lin, he looked at her, then looked at Lin Shan, and asked in a dry voice, "You, you are the granddaughter of Sister Ping?" ”
The "Ping girl" in his mouth refers to Grandma Lin, Lin Shan felt that the other party had no malicious intent, and nodded subconsciously. A hint of hesitation appeared on the old man's face: "I ...... I didn't scare you, did I? Lin Shan shook her head again.
"What's wrong?" Grandma Lin was a little uneasy when she saw Lin Shan nodding and shaking her head for a while.
Lin Shan looked at her, hesitated for a while before asking, "Grandma, have you been ...... lately?" Is there an old man who has passed away in the village? ”
Grandma Lin's face changed suddenly: "You kid, what's wrong today?" Why is this being asked? ”
The old man was silent at the moment, he seemed a little annoyed, and he was trying to remember something. Lin Shan glanced at him, sat down and held her grandmother's hands, and said in a deep voice: "Grandma, I said something, don't worry!" ”
Grandma Lin had long noticed that Lin Shan must have happened when she came back this time, and she looked at her with a serious expression: "Child, just tell grandma if you have anything!" ”
Lin Shan looked at her grandmother's wrinkled face, and was a little hesitant: "Grandma, when I was a child, didn't I ...... Is it something that you can see that others can't? ”
Grandma Lin was suddenly startled, and said sharply: "Who, who told you?" ”
"No one told me, I just ......" Before Lin Shan finished speaking, the old man suddenly shouted: "I remember!" He walked towards Lin Shan, brought a gust of wind, and said eagerly: "Child, you have to do me a favor!" ”
Grandma Lin glanced into the courtyard with extreme sensitivity, she fixed her eyes on her granddaughter, and asked worriedly, "Shanshan, are you ...... Isn't it ......"
In the face of grandma's desire to speak, Lin Shan tried her best to show a relaxed appearance, and comforted: "Grandma, don't worry, I have the ability to protect myself now!" ”
"What do you mean by this?" Grandma Lin stood up and looked at her in shock, and suddenly she realized if there was something 'unclean' in the yard, and swept around: "...... Is there a 'person' in this courtyard? ”
