Chapter 5: The Black-Faced Buddha...
I don't know why, but when my mom said she dreamed of my grandma last night, I chuckled inwardly.
At this time, my dad came over, made a look at my mother, asked her not to continue, and then told me that it was okay, my mother was too tired to toss in the past two days, and asked me to wash my face and have breakfast.
My mom burst into tears, and when she heard my dad's words, she didn't know how to annoy her, so she shouted at my dad, "You still don't let me say, do you know how our mom died?" It's good, if you say no, you can't do it, do you believe it? You didn't see it when you went out of the funeral yesterday, and our mother's mouth couldn't be closed. She has been calling our girl in bed for the first two days, and I said that I want her to come back from school to see, you don't believe it. ”
After my mother vented her emotions, she was even more aggrieved, crying and saying to me, "Your grandma is blaming me and blaming me!" ”
My dad's face was a little unpleasant, and he stood in the doorway with his head down and stopped talking.
Looking at my dad's face and what my mom just said, I vaguely felt that they must be hiding something from me.
I tentatively asked my mom what was going on.
At first, my mother was a little hesitant to say whether to say it, but then she sighed and told me everything that had happened in the past two days.
In fact, this matter has to start a few days ago, when my grandmother didn't have anything to do, but she told my mother that night that she was going to go out, according to my mother's description of the situation at that time.
Grandma's face was a little anxious, as if there was something to do, usually grandma was more prestigious at home, and my mother couldn't stop it.
It was already late that day, and my grandmother walked out of the door on crutches and walked in a hurry.
"Your grandmother is stubborn, I waited in the house with your father for the night, and your grandmother came back on crutches in the middle of the night. After coming back, he didn't say a word, so he went into the house to get incense and candles, and incense the black jade Buddha enshrined in the Buddha shrine. ”
"When we saw that your grandmother had returned, we didn't say anything, so we went back to sleep. But I never thought that I would ...... the next morning" Speaking of this, my mother's voice was choked and she couldn't continue.
On both sides of the Buddhist shrine, there is a small red paper figure cut out of red paper, a man and a woman, one left and one right, leaning against the statue of the Buddha shrine, and then there are three green smoke curling incense sticks in front.
The red candles on the alcoves on both sides had burned out, and the candle oil had accumulated over the years, and the wood had been blackened.
I looked sideways, and at this time, the smell of incense paper filled the threshold of the hall, and two candles were lit on the platform of the shrine, and the light of the fire reflected the black Buddha in the shrine a little strangely.
I retracted my gaze and asked my mom in a stumbling voice, "And then grandma won't be able to do it the next day?" ”
My mother's face was a little frightened, and she nodded palely.
I swallowed hard, trying to calm myself down.
According to my mother, my grandmother died very suddenly, and she couldn't get up from bed, and she kept talking about me with her eyes open two days before she left.
I counted the time, and according to my mother, I always felt people staring at me at school nights, and I always had hallucinations, which started before my grandmother died.
And on the day my grandmother died, I had that dream.
I don't know if it's because my grandmother's obsession is too heavy, so I received some omens...
And something even more terrifying happened later, that is, according to our local customs, the coffin should be opened for the future generations before the funeral, in order to see the corpse's clothes buttons, shoes clean and tidy, and go on the road with dignity.
As a result, when the coffin was opened, I almost didn't scare what I saw to death.
Grandma's mouth doesn't know when it opened.
