Chapter 213: The Shadow of the Old House
Chapter 213: The Shadow of the Old House
Hearing her grandmother say that she had just seen her father, who had passed away for five years, Qin Yan was terrified,
She exclaimed, "Ah Nian, come quickly,"
The strong Zhao Fengnian rushed in from outside: "What's the matter,"
"Quick, turn all the lights on,"
Zhao Fengnian didn't ask anything, and turned on all the lights in the residence, only the ten square meters of the room was brightly lit.
He cautiously asked Qin Yan: "What's wrong?"
"Don't ask," Qin Yan looked at the furnishings in the house without looking back, and there was no trace of anyone coming.
She said to the old man, "Grandma misses her father and dreams,"
"It's not a dream, it's your dad who came back and was standing in front of my bed just now......"
Only then did Qin Yan notice that the neatly folded "top quilt" placed next to the old man's pillow had signs of being turned over.
In the past six months, the old man's physical condition has been getting worse and worse, and the old man has been quietly preparing for his own death.
The old grandmother is a believer in Buddhism, and she used to go to the Zizhu Courtyard under the North Mountain Peak every day to be a volunteer, and this "spinning top" was given to her by the abbot of the Zizhu Courtyard.
The "Gyro Quilt" is dark yellow, with many Buddhist symbols similar to the Gyrotop, it is said that after death, it can reach the Western Heaven Elysium safely, the old man has been putting it on the pillow for emergency use, it was originally packed in a film bag containing a raincoat, and now the button of the bag has been opened, and a small half of the "Gyro Quilt" has fallen outside the bag......
Qin Yan lowered his voice and said to Zhao Fengnian: "There is a thief in the house,"
Zhao Fengnian became nervous: "Where are you, do you want to call the police?"
"Don't call the police,"
"Why,"
"What are you talking about, don't report it, don't report it,"
Zhao Fengnian wanted to say something, but he heard the old man say: "Ah Nian, don't be afraid, Yanmei's father is not the first time to come back, his relatives, there is nothing to be afraid of......"
"It's okay, grandma, I'm not afraid,"
"Hehe, a boy is a boy, your courage is greater than that of Sister Yan, after dawn, accompany Sister Yan to buy some cold medicine, as well as ingots incense candles and paper money, burn to your 'grandfather' who has never met......"
"Grandfather Lao" is also a dialect of green jade, which means "old father-in-law", Ah Nian is already half a "green jade person", and he can understand the words of the old man.
He hurriedly replied, "Grandma, don't worry, I'll go with Qin Yan at dawn,"
"It's still early, you and Sister Yan should go back to sleep first,"
"Grandma, then we'll go out, you can sleep a little longer......"
Qin Yan was afraid that Zhao Fengnian would say something wrong, so he rushed to answer, pulled him, and walked out of the outer room.
The single bed in the outer room turned out to be slept by his younger brother Qin Hu, when the old grandmother turned out to be in good health, Qin Hu rarely came back, the bed has been idle, the old grandmother is not in good health now and comes in handy, Qin Hu sleeps on it alone, but Qin Yan and Zhao Fengnian sleep on it but it seems a little crowded,
This is exactly what Zhao Fengnian wants, so that they can sleep with each other, although they are a little tired after waking up, the two feel more comfortable sleeping than the double bed in the rental room,
Coming out of the inner room, the two continued to hug each other and sleep, Zhao Fengnian felt that Qin Yan in his arms was trembling, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"
"Don't ask, hug me,"
Zhao Fengnian stopped talking and hugged her whole body into his arms,
The house was as silent as a dead man, except for the rough gasps of the two men and the clanging of the electronic clock and the second hand on the wall.
"Are you dumb, why don't you speak," Qin Yan complained,
"Didn't you tell me not to ask,"
"I told you not to ask, but I didn't let you stop talking,"
"Speak, speak,"
"Say whatever you like,"
"Then I said it,"
"Oh, let's talk,,"
Zhao Fengnian thought for a while: "I heard Grandma just say that it seems that this kind of thing has happened more than once......
"I remember this is the fourth time,"
"You really thought it was your father's soul coming back to visit the old man,"
"I really can't see it, you believe this,"
Zhao Fengnian smirked: "Hey, hey, hey,"
"It's so stupid, I don't believe it, I believe in Qin Hu's judgment,"
"What did Qin Hu say?"
"He said that the master came in to find the treasure that his father had hidden in this old house,"
Zhao Fengnian gasped,
"Qin Hu estimates that there are valuable things hidden in this house, and I also believe his statement......"
Zhao Fengnian felt that the views of the sisters and brothers did have some truth,
This building and several nearby buildings are old buildings built in the eighties of the last century, seven-story buildings with cinder bricks and prefabricated block materials, because of the good location, they have long been favored by the developer, and they are ready to transform this place into an "elevator building" complex, many families here have signed contracts with the developer to move out of here, in this building, there are only three families left, the developer privately offered a high price, and the other two families plan to move out next month, leaving only their family, because the old man did not nod his head......
"But what is the value hidden here?"
"Don't ask,"
"Okay, don't ask, don't ask,,"
Zhao Fengnian hugged Qin Yan and closed his eyes, and after a while, he let out a sweet snoring sound,
The next day, Qin Yan told his brother about it,
Qin Hu doesn't believe in ghosts, he only believes that his dead parents hide valuable things in this house, and he hopes that Xiaohong's arrival can not only take care of his grandmother, but also keep the "treasure" of the family, as well as ......
Qin Hu's mind came to the idea that Xiao Hong lifted the hem of the white long-sleeved shirt with a round collar to wipe the tears on his face, inadvertently revealing a flat and white belly and a half-cut black corset......
He licked his dry lips,
The day after Xiaohong came to the Qin family, two incredible things happened to the Qin family,
In the evening, Xiaohong and Qin Hu were preparing dinner, and the old grandmother suddenly felt very sleepy, and said, "I'll go to bed and lie down for a while, and dinner will be for you,"
Qin Hu wants to go to the market to "chop the roast goose" and come back to catch Xiaohong,
Xiaohong helped the old grandmother into the back room to lie down, and returned to the kitchen to cook, she suddenly remembered that Uncle Huang, the chef of the "Delicious Restaurant" in Tiger Wolf Town, said that he was very sleepy at dinner that year, and he went back to the room to lie down and never woke up.
She hurriedly returned to the room, saw that the old man had sat up, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her lie down, but the old man fell crooked into her arms, she leaned over to the old man's chest and listened, there was no heartbeat, and she was so frightened that she suddenly cried out......
She wanted to call the "white car (ambulance)", but her mobile phone was snatched away by the "horse-faced" Brother De that day, and there was no money to buy a new one, and the old man's home had neither a landline nor a mobile phone, in a hurry, she opened the door, picked up the old man, and ran downstairs, crying while running: "Come on, people, help,,"
The owner of the shop downstairs rushed over when he heard the sound, and the old grandmother exhaled a long breath in Xiaoying's arms,
The doctor explained that the old man's cardiac arrest was very short, and when Xiaohong ran down the stairs with her in her arms, it was equivalent to "pacing" the old man, which was not uncommon.
The Qin family sisters and brothers thanked Xiaohong for saving their grandmother's life,
Zhao Fengnian said that Xiaohong was not only able to come back to life, but was able to pick up an old man who was more than ten pounds heavier than himself and ran down from the third floor, creating two "miracles......
On the day the old grandmother was discharged from the hospital, Qin Hu formally asked Zhao Fengnian: "The old grandmother has been in the hospital for more than ten days to go home to recuperate, and she needs someone to take care of her, Xiaohong can cook, and she knows how to serve people, how about leaving her to take care of the old grandmother?"
The second half of his words was said to Ah Nian,
Although he knew that it was useless to talk to this "prospective brother-in-law" about such a thing, he still hoped to get his support first.
Sure enough, Ah Nian said, "I agree that it's useless, I want to ask your sister,"
"Sister, I'm responsible for asking, but you also have a statement,"
"I don't have an opinion, Xiaohong, would you like to?"
Xiaohong looked at Ah Nian, looked at Qin Hu, and replied, "Well,"
Ah Nian asked, "What does 'um' mean, do you agree or disagree,"
Qin Hu replied impatiently for Xiaohong: "Oh, I just agree, Xiaohong, do you say yes?"
"Hmm,"
Ah Nian said, "I don't know if the old grandmother is willing,"
Qin Hu replied, "The old grandmother is desperate,"
Ah Nian was silent, he knew that the old grandmother loved her male grandson very much, and there was almost nothing he disagreed with what he was going to do, what he didn't worry about was Qin Hu's diligence towards Xiaohong,
Although Ah Nian and Qin Yan have not yet registered their marriage, they have already bought a three-bedroom second-hand house in an alley near the old house to live together, there are many mice in the old house, and they have a big yellow cat.
A week ago, they were going to join a "seven-day tour of Suzhou and Hangzhou" to travel, and asked Xiaohong to come over every night to feed the cats.
The alley where Qin Yan's second-hand house is located is very deserted, and when Xiaohong sees it, she remembers the terrifying scene that happened on Bagua Street, but fortunately, Qin Hu is by her side.
After eating the "Winter Solstice Meal", Xiaohong cleaned up and went over to feed the cat,
Qin Hu stood up, but he couldn't take a step away from his feet, and his body shook a little.
"You're not going," Xiaohong hurriedly went over and hugged him,
He calmed down, saw that the lamp on the wall was no longer shaking, shook off her hand and said, "It's all right, let's go,"
"Hey,"
Xiaohong knew that he was worried that she would meet the "third brother of Tiger Wolf Town", and he always had to accompany her to rest assured.
She cast a grateful glance at him,
Qin Hu avoided her gaze and said expressionlessly, "Let's go,"
The two of them came out of their grandmother's house together, turned a corner, came to the noisy main road of the city, walked along the bus line, walked into an alley behind the bus station, and came to a seven-story building without an elevator.
Qin Yan's house is on the fourth floor, open the door, turn on the light, the cat tethered to the kitchen has long smelled the fishy smell, "Meow," called,
Xiaohong changed her slippers and walked to the kitchen, talking to the kitten as she walked.
"Cat, you're hungry, look what good food I've brought you,"
She poured out the leftover food that the kitten had eaten yesterday, washed the plate, poured the head and tail of the fish she had brought into the plate, and added soot to the kitten's "potty" to cover the cat feces on it......
The kitten squatted in front of the plate and tasted the fresh fish,
She waved her hand to the kitten: "Kitten, you eat slowly, don't let the fish bones get stuck in your throat, bye-bye, we will see you again tomorrow,"
Seeing Xiaohong coming out of the kitchen, Qin Hu, who was leaning on the sofa and watching TV, said, "Don't sit down and watch TV,"
"Let's go back and see again, there is only the old grandmother at home, I can't let go of my heart......"
"Sit down, I have a gift for you,"
Xiaohong had to sit down next to him,
