Chapter 6: Going to the Grave...
Although Mr. Taoist closed it later, the villagers who saw it were very frightened, and they all said that my grandmother must have some unfulfilled wishes, and there was nothing to say.
What happened in the past two days.
In addition, I dreamed of my grandmother yesterday, which made my mother completely broken. My grandmother kept calling me by name when she was sick in bed, she must have something to say to me.
But because I didn't want to delay me in the college entrance examination right away, I didn't plan to tell me at first, so my mother thought that my grandmother was deliberately scaring her and blaming her.
I don't understand what my grandmother did when she went out that day, she called my name before she left, did she really have any last words to say to me?
As soon as I was speaking, I heard someone coming in from outside, it was Aunt Qinghe from the village, and I was a little scared of her since I was a child, because she was half-blind, and the white flowers in her eye sockets were rolling, embedded in her fleshless face.
But now I see that her heart is a little steady, because she will see evil, she called me and said that you are back, second girl!
Erya is my nickname.
When my mother saw that Qinghe Aunt was coming, she quickly lowered her head and wiped her eyes. Qinghe didn't say much to me, and was taken to the head of the bed by my father, and then squatted down.
My mom also came around, and I looked over there, and then I saw that there was something on the ground, two pools of ash.
There are a lot of this kind of plant ash in the countryside, but the grass ash on the ground is uncomfortable, and the rules sprinkled on the ground, if I am not mistaken, are double footprints, and they are the footprints of the kind of old lady who is very old.
I don't know if you have that kind of saying, just three days before the funeral of the deceased, when you sprinkle ashes on the door of your house, there will be footprints.
Aunt Qinghe asked my mother to bring my grandmother's shoes when she was alive, and then asked my mother to compare them, not big or small, as if they were cut out, and the footprints were stepped on by my grandmother's small feet.
If at the beginning it was said that my mother was just having that weird dream that made us feel terrified, now it is almost the case that grandma is back.
She died, but she came back.
Aunt Qinghe heard my father's description, asked my father to bring a piece of fire paper, and then said to me, second girl, don't be afraid, your grandmother, it won't hurt you, you give your grandmother to burn a paper on the grave, and it'll be fine.
When I encounter this kind of thing, it's false to say that I'm not afraid, but just like she said, my old man will definitely not hurt me, I have always been ashamed in my heart, when my grandmother left, I didn't see the old man for the last time.
Aunt Qinghe handed me the fire paper and said, "Second girl, you take the scissors and measure the footprints, cut them out, and cut them down with a knife."
I pressed the fire paper to the footprints, picked it up and cut it, and when it was done, she asked me to bring a dressing mirror and stick the two footprints on the mirror.
She asked me to go to my grandmother's grave alone with a few knives of fire paper holding the mirror with the fire paper, and then explained a few words to me.
I felt a little embarrassed walking on the road with a mirror, for fear that I would meet acquaintances, but fortunately, I didn't meet anyone after going up the mountain.
My grandmother came to us by Hexi, and it stands to reason that she married my grandfather, so she should be considered a member of the old Chen family, but the place where my grandmother was buried after her death was not in the ancestral grave of my Chen family.
Her cemetery is in the mountain nest of Shandau Island, Dabei Mountain, this grave is full of old graves, all of them are the size of earthen houses looking at the mountain, and many of the graves have collapsed in half, and you can see the black coffins inside.
