You have to be careful of your grandpa. ”

These were the last words my father said before leaving.

My father has always been filial, and he is a very filial son, respecting his elders and caring for his juniors.

My father was very fond of me, and the conversation was full of concern and expectation for me, but I didn't understand why my father would suddenly say such a thing.

"Why?" I asked, looking at my father's vanishing back.

The father did not answer, and the rooster crowed at dawn, and he had to leave.

When I woke up, I looked confused, could it be that what my second uncle said to me before made me have some problems in my heart, so I dreamed that my father said to me and told me to be careful of what my grandfather said?

Looking out the window at the sun, I didn't think much about it.

Last night was supposed to be a candle night in the cave room, but I didn't do anything, so I planned to do something when I woke up in the morning, but Xiaobai got up early, and when I woke up, Xiaobai went to help my mother sweep the yard.

Because Ma Daoist came to Zhangjiagou, and he simply lived in the Lishan Old Mother Temple on the South Mountain, so the next day the village chief took people to repair the temple for Ma Daoist, and changed the Lishan Old Mother Temple into a Taoist temple.

Ma Daoist is very unusual in the minds of the villagers of Zhangjiagou, because he was more than 100 years old when he came to the mountain 60 years ago, and after so many years, he is still alive, especially after listening to Xiao Wu and the old bachelor said that Ma Daoist was going to live on Nanshan for a period of time, the villagers have prepared some food and objects to send to the Taoist temple to Ma Daoist.

After I got up, I also made a special trip with Xiaobai to ask Ma Daoist for an early invitation, and then came back Xiaobai to help my mother with housework, and I went to see the fish pond, after all, after marriage, I still have to deal with firewood, rice, oil and salt.

When I passed by my second uncle's house when I got home at noon, I suddenly remembered that my second uncle had told me before that there was a bank card in the shoebox under his bed, so I went into his house and found the bank card.

I rode to the town to check and found out that there were hundreds of thousands of dollars in this bank card!

The second uncle is very timid, before the yellow skin essence possessed Zhang Chunyan and he made peace with him, he once helped her go to the casino to win money, the second uncle didn't dare to win more, only won so many tens of thousands of dollars each time, I think these money must be the money he won a few times.

In the past few months, the second uncle has been hanging in a vegetative state, and the older generation in the mountains has no habit of going to the hospital, so the second uncle has been kept at home, and now the medical technology is developed, I have considered sending the second uncle to the hospital to see if there is a possibility of survival, but I don't have much money in my hand, after all, I am not willing to give up, and now the second uncle's card has more than 100,000 yuan, and he is still awake, so I want to send him to the hospital for a check-up, maybe he can pick up a life.

So I went to my grandfather's old house, when my grandfather was painting a coffin in the yard with red paint, and I asked, "Grandpa, is this the coffin made of our old locust tree?" ”

Grandpa didn't look up, but he responded with a humming sound.

I felt a little strange in my heart, I didn't know who had heard anyone say that the locust tree didn't seem to be able to make a coffin, but I didn't think much about it, so I said: "Grandpa, I have a little spare money in my hand now, and the second uncle has been lying at home for so long, I want to send him to the hospital for a check-up to see if there is any possibility of rescue." ”

Grandpa said: "Your second uncle will be hanging for a breath, he can't move his nest, and he will die when he is sent to the hospital." ”

"But ......"

I hesitated, I wanted to tell my grandfather about the second uncle waking up that day, I don't know if grandpa knows that the second uncle is awake, it's been a few months and the second uncle has never hung the bottle, if you want to maintain your life, you must eat and drink Lazar, grandpa takes care of the second uncle, it's impossible not to know that the second uncle is awake, right?

So, I told my grandfather about the actual situation.

When my grandfather heard my words, his face changed, and he quickly put down his work and walked to the hall to shout the name of the second uncle.

"Twenty percent, two percent, Yang Yang said you are awake, is it true?"

But the second uncle on the bed didn't react at all.

I felt strange in my heart, so I stepped forward and grabbed the second uncle's hand and said, "Second uncle, I'm Zhang Yang, wake up." ”

After I finished speaking, the second uncle suddenly opened his eyes, he looked at me with a frightened face, and said, "You go!" ”

"What's wrong with you, second uncle?"

"You go!"

The second uncle's expression was a little annoyed, his expression was very painful, and the big tendons on his face and neck were exposed, looking very hysterical.

"You're finally awake, Twenty Percent." Grandpa said with some excitement. "It's me who can't take care of you, I'm incompetent!"

"Grandpa, why don't you send the second uncle to the hospital in the town?" Again, I suggested.

"Okay, then I'll borrow a tricycle, you carry your second uncle to the door, and we'll pull him to the town together." Grandpa said.

After Grandpa finished speaking, he wiped his tears and went out the door, while I helped my second uncle up, put his arms on my shoulders, and lifted him from the bed.

The second uncle was originally thin, but now he looks like an old dragon clock, so thin that he only has skin and bones, and he only weighs dozens of pounds, and I can easily carry him.

The second uncle's mouth was muttering and he didn't know what to say, and it seemed that he was in a very bad mental state, so I carried the second uncle to the gate and waited for my grandfather to borrow the car and come back.

The second uncle's chin was lying on my shoulder, and he whispered: "Yangyang, your shoulder really looks like the eldest brother's." ”

The second uncle said this made my nose sour, when I was young, my father often carried me on his back, sometimes I could fall asleep on his shoulder, the second uncle admired his father very much when he was a child, and his relationship with his grandfather was not good, largely because of his father, after all, my father drowned because he went out fishing with his grandfather at night, and the second uncle never experienced father's love when he was a child, and he had the feelings of an eldest brother like a father to my father.

"Second uncle, you hold on, now that the medical conditions are so good, the doctor will cure you." I said.

"Yesterday, I heard firecrackers and joy, it was very lively, you got married, right?" The second uncle whispered.

"Well, I just got married yesterday, and I was busy all day, don't blame me for forgetting you, second uncle, I'm so busy that I haven't even entered the cave room." I said.

"The second uncle told you that you got the bank card, it is a gift money from the second uncle, you take this money, take your mother, and your daughter-in-law, and leave Zhangjiagou." The second uncle said.

"Second uncle, don't worry, we are a family, don't think about it, in fact, grandpa also loves you very much, I am now a little famous in Zhangjiagou, and our family has also built a big house, when the time comes, I will find you a woman, I really can't find it, buy it and buy one for you to come back." I said.

"The car is here, the second uncle." At this time, my grandfather was pushing a tricycle to the door, and I carried my second uncle on my back to greet him.

"You, be careful of your grandfather......"

The second uncle's head drooped on my shoulder, whispering in my ear, I felt a little wrong with my shoulder, I didn't know what was going on, but the grandfather who was pushing the tricycle suddenly abandoned the car at this time and ran over crying, shouting: "Ercheng, my son!" ”

"What's the matter, second uncle?"

I tilted my head and looked at the second uncle on my shoulder, and found that he was looking at me with confused eyes, and he had a pair of scissors stuck in his neck.

The scissors passed through the large artery clearly visible in the second uncle's neck, and blood ran down his neck and flowed all over my shoulder.

"Second uncle?!"

I put the second uncle down, but the second uncle was already dead, and the grandfather threw himself in front of the second uncle, he hugged the second uncle with trembling hands and cried, and kept calling the second uncle's name in his mouth.

When the villagers heard the movement, they all gathered around, and some of them couldn't help their grandfather's crying and wiped their tears.

"Ercheng really has a problem with his brain, he finally woke up, how did he run to wipe his nephew's neck, didn't that Zhang Yang get married yesterday, and he got angry."

"Alas, Ercheng I grew up watching from a young age, and his father has always been at odds, too stubborn, this yesterday his nephew only got married, the old man was quite happy, now Ercheng has woken up, if he can be cured, he will marry a daughter-in-law in the future, and the old man will complete the task."

"Ercheng's father is also guilty, he watched Dacheng drowned, and now he is watching Ercheng die in front of him, he has been making peace with his neighbors all these years, and he has never quarreled with anyone, he is a good person, how can he do such a thing."

"Fate, who can blame if your fate is bad."

The villagers were babbling, and I was stunned next to the corpse of my second uncle, holding my breath in my chest and unable to get out, until a long time later, it was surging out with tears.

The second uncle is actually not bad at all, at least in our mountains, he is even a little similar to my character, he never likes to bully people, and everyone he sees is kind, but he later went down the road, stole my family's food to gamble, and quarreled with my mother, so I was kicked out of the house.

The second uncle is a person who has no opinions, he follows the crowd in everything, he doesn't like to bully people, but others will bully him, so he has to learn to mix with others in society, and mix with some indiscriminate people all day long.

I grew up with my second uncle, I know that he is afraid of pain, and even more afraid of death, when he asked me to kill him, I just suspected that he had a brain problem, but I really can't understand that he would end his life in such a tragic way.

What I can't understand even more is that last night my father told me to be careful of my grandfather, and now the last words of my second uncle before his death also made me careful of my grandfather.

But how should I be careful with my grandfather?

My grandfather is so old, although he has practiced martial arts, but now he is old enough to bend over and hunchback, even if he carries an axe in his hand, I can easily pinch him to death, right?

Or did he poison me?

If Grandpa wanted to kill me, he could have done so a long time ago.

He used to teach me martial arts, taught me to swim and climb walls and trees, taught me a lot of survival skills in the wild, and told me a lot of interesting stories about the world, and even took me deep into the mountains and old forests, catching pheasants, hares and wild boars for me to eat. When I was sick, he ran to the mountains in the middle of the night to collect medicine and boil it for me to drink, saying that Western medicine may have side effects on the body, when he urged me to practice martial arts, he often carried a medicine basket to collect medicine and came back to give me a medicinal bath, so that my body was much stronger than my peers, even if I never exercised in school later, when the school held a sports meeting, I could easily get the first place in the long and short run.

When I was a child, I wanted to eat meat, so my grandfather went to fish and catch birds for me to eat, I wanted to eat candy balls, my mother was reluctant to buy them, so he took me to the town to eat enough and then went home.

And now, my dead father told me to watch out for my grandfather.

The second uncle, who has never learned or learned anything, also asked me to be careful of my grandfather.

Let me be careful grandpa can, always tell me to be careful, they can't even say a reason, I'm careful with a hammer?

The second uncle has no children and no daughters under his knees, and his grandfather is a white-haired person who sends a black-haired person, so he was buried on the same day.

But the coffin is only half painted, and it is painted red, and the red paint is used for the happy coffin at the end of life, and the person who died in vain cannot use the red coffin, so I went to the town to order a black coffin to bury the body of the second uncle.

Grandpa was hit hard by the death of his second uncle and fell ill that night.

I wanted to send my grandfather to the hospital, but my grandfather didn't agree and had to be at home, and he said that he would not be able to do it, stay at home for a few days, and let me help paint the coffin in the yard.

The older generation of people have the idea of returning to their roots, so I didn't force my grandfather anymore, and my mother took turns to take care of him, but who knew that my grandfather's illness was getting worse and worse, and there was no sign of improvement.

The villagers said that my grandfather had suffered all his life, and finally he couldn't bear the blow and was going to go back to the West.

I felt sad and thought about staying with my grandfather for the last few days and accompanying him through the last period of his life.

In his life, grandpa has always had a dream of chivalry and righteousness, but he was unlucky and born in the wrong era, which is quite sad to say.

After my mother left that night, my grandfather recalled his life, he grabbed my hand and said that the proudest thing was actually to watch me grow up. People, he talked about the bits and pieces of playing with me when he was a child, until I burst into tears, and said that he was in tears.

Until it was almost dawn, Grandpa suddenly said that he still had a wish to fulfill, but he didn't have the strength to fulfill it now.

I asked my grandfather if he had any other wishes, and I would definitely help him fulfill them.

Grandpa said that he had to end this wish by himself, and that he had a way, but he needed my help.

I asked my grandfather what method.

Grandpa said:

"Swap your body for mine."
