Chapter 7 Side Branches and Wells
That summer night, grandpa and grandpa and uncle three people slept in the yard to enjoy the cool, the first half of the night was normal, the second half of the night the uncle got up to go to the toilet and was afraid, had to drag grandpa, the two of them carefully opened the courtyard door and ran out, for fear of waking up grandpa, it is strange to say, even if the ancestral house reduced the area of the house at that time, it would not be possible to find a place to go to the toilet in the yard, but the two still ran out.
Because grandpa has a rule that if you don't go out after noon, you can't go out after midnight, but the two children finally ran out, can they go back so quickly? The silence of the village at night and the occasional chirping of insects from the grass were a great temptation for the two people, who could only stay in the courtyard of their ancestral house every day to learn to draw talismans.
The two of them don't know how long they have been playing, they have run out of the ancestral house quite far away, the uncle is tired of playing, only to remember the matter of going to the toilet, and dragged the grandfather to find a piece of wasteland to solve, the two took the loot, a bunch of bugs, and went back to the ancestral house, the two children did not care, but the next day at dawn, the grandfather got up to boxing and exercise, and found that the seven or eight roosters raised in the yard at that time were all dead, and the chicken feathers were wet and smelly water was still coming out of the mouth, and it was clearly drowned.
Grandpa thought that the drowned second son was homesick, and came home to fight the tooth sacrifice, so he didn't pay attention to it, and then lit a fire to burn the corpses of the roosters and burned some paper money by the way, and finally did not forget to put a charm on the door to remind the ghost of the second grandfather, you have been dead for so many years. Just come back this time, if you come back there won't be so much for you to eat. After doing this, Grandpa Tai lit a fire to cook, and did not ask Uncle and Grandpa. So the two children were secretly happy that the incident of going out to play last night was not discovered.
But since that day, the ancestral house is peaceful, no more living creatures have died, the village behind the ancestral house is not peaceful, just three days of hard work in addition to the big livestock and dogs, chickens, ducks and geese are all dead, the people in the village feel that something is wrong. brought the dead poultry to find the grandfather, and when the grandfather saw it, he felt that it was his second son, who had no prospects. After eating, the family went to eat the village, and the angry grandfather went door to door with a door talisman.
At that time, because my grandfather wanted to draw talismans, I asked my uncle and grandpa to go to the village to deliver talismans, and I didn't have enough to go home to get them. This is repeated in order to exercise the physique and patience of the two children. After all, the ancestral house is still a little far from the village.
But the uncle and the grandfather held the talisman and passed by the place where they caught insects that night and didn't want to go, the two of them threw the talisman on the ground, and they were not hungry at noon, so they caught grasshoppers in the grass to play, and the two forgot the time, and saw that the sky was getting dark, and the two people didn't send out a talisman, so the uncle thought of a way. Hiding all the talismans in the well, the two children dug some soil from around the well and threw it in. Even grandpa himself now thinks that those days were very strange, and he has never listened to the uncle very much, but in those days, it was what the uncle said and what he did that caused a big disaster.
The two thought that this matter had been seamless, even if someone looked for Grandpa, as long as they shirked and said that the talisman was not delivered enough, they could send it the next day.
But the next day, instead of the two families, the whole village came to the door, because all the old people in their family were dead and suffocated!
Everyone has watched the court drama, tie the maid father-in-law who made a mistake to the chair, dip the yellow paper in water and stick it on the face again, no matter how great the ability is, he can only wait for death obediently, those old people died like this, they were suffocated to death by the yellow paper stained with water! No one in the village who does not draw talismans and do not worship is willing to store yellow paper at home, naturally these yellow papers appear particularly strange, and the people in the village immediately carry the corpse to see the grandfather, and the grandfather looked at the cinnabar stains on the yellow paper and asked a few words, and immediately knew that the uncle and grandfather did not send the talisman.
Grandpa first sent people away, tore off the town gate charm on the door, lit three incense sticks, and hung around at the gate, still chanting in his mouth, "There is a debtor who is wronged, who makes a sin, who pays it back"
Grandpa didn't ask the teacher to ask the guilt, but took the incense to hang around at the door, which made the grandfather and the uncle unable to sit still in the house, did they hide at the door to observe what the grandfather was doing, the grandfather wandered around all morning, and he was sprinkling paper and burning things, but he didn't look for the uncle and grandpa, and the grandfather couldn't sit still and took the initiative to confess what they played yesterday and also explained the matter of hiding the yellow paper in the well.
Grandpa lowered his head and pondered for an afternoon that his mouth was karma, but he couldn't think of a way, and only in the evening did he let them go to the village to send talisman paper again, and nothing was posted on the door of the ancestral house, and grandpa also thought it was wrong, grandpa only said that it was a well without a careful description, grandpa thought it was the well in the village to drink water, and felt that the two children had offended the god of wells, and let the two children solve it by themselves, at most they were taught a lesson by the god of wells, and grandpa had already paved the road during the day, thinking that uncle and grandpa would not have an accident, Even if you want to break your head, Grandpa Tai can't imagine that the two children will offend the well that killed the sixth grandfather.
When they went, the two of them also sent the talisman very obediently, and kowtowed to apologize from door to door, and when they came back, the uncle had to go to the well to pee, he thought that the boy's urine could ward off evil spirits, and the well killed people should use the boy's urine to town, and it was because of this move that the two people experienced the adventure that night.
Grandpa didn't stop the uncle, he went home first, but when it came to dinner, the uncle didn't come back, the grandfather and the grandfather just wanted to go out to find, the uncle came back, the action and demeanor were like a different person, and even saw the grandfather, and shouted tears in his eyes, but he just didn't speak, sat down at the dinner table and ate everything, even the coriander that he usually didn't eat was extraordinarily fragrant, and the grandfather thought that the uncle was frightened and went to prepare tools for the uncle's requiem.
During this period, the uncle touched his grandfather's head as if his brother was looking at his younger brother, and the grandfather recalled that the gentle ones were not like the uncle, and finally hugged the grandfather directly into his arms, crying and crying, and suddenly fell to the ground and convulsed after only saying one word, "Don't believe what he says." ”
Grandpa came over with something and saw the uncle lying on the ground, pinched the middle of the person and pinched the uncle back.
Grandpa was still thinking about what he meant by saying that he didn't believe anything, and the uncle who woke up vomited heavily, vomited all the food he had just eaten, and kept spitting acid water, grandpa has never seen this kind of thing, let grandpa see, grandpa?? What I saw by the candlelight was only a black gas covering the uncle's body, and nothing else.
It must be a water product (to be continued......)
