Chapter 368: Going to the Grave
The middle-aged man was a little stunned when he heard Xiao Yu call himself Uncle Li, and thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't come up with a reason, after all, Xiao Yu was too young when he left, and he was not from his own family, and it was normal to not remember more than ten years later.
"Little master, who are you—" The man asked in confusion.
"Uncle Li, I'm Xiao Yu."
"Xiao Yu?" When the man heard this name, his eyebrows furrowed, and after looking Xiao Yu up and down for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up and said, "You are the grandson of the old fairy, are you Xiao Yu?" ”
Seeing that the other party remembered himself, Xiao Yu also said happily, "To Uncle Li, it's me."
"Oops... I haven't seen you for more than ten years, you've grown so tall, handsome guy, haha" The man took two steps forward, pulled Xiao Yu and continued, "Go, go to the room and say, a few masters, please come inside."
"Alas, the kid who ate sugar gourds back then is taller than me now, I'm really old."
Uncle Li seemed to be in disbelief, and after entering, he looked Xiao Yu up and down for a while, and then beckoned his daughter-in-law to make tea.
"Uncle Li is not bad, when I left, you were still single, I didn't expect that now you have two children, and the house has been built, so happy" Xiao Yu looked at a family photo on the wall and smiled.
"Hehe, you kid, you're getting poorer! By the way, stay and eat, I'll kill a big rooster in the afternoon, and the chicken head will be eaten for you, the more you eat, the smarter you get."
"Then I'm welcome, I haven't eaten at Uncle Li's place for more than ten years, and I want to eat back today."
"Good...".
Uncle Li said happily, then looked at Lao Bai and Shi Dao and said, "Two masters, are you taboo?" ”
"Wine and meat through the intestines, just whatever" Lao Bai said politely, as for Shi Daochang, he didn't have any taboos, so the dinner in the evening was settled.
"Uncle Li, why did you repair the house here, I remember that your house is not at the end of the village?" Xiao Yu held the water cup and asked with a smile.
Xiao Yu remembered that when he left, the house was not handed over to anyone, could it be that the village chief decided to sell the house to Uncle Li?
Hearing Xiao Yu ask, the middle-aged man immediately said embarrassedly, "Hey, after you left, this place was empty, you know, they are all earthen houses, no one lives in them, and they will collapse in two years!" In addition, this is the head of the village, so I went to the village chief and changed this place."
"Although it's your house, I can't find any of you, so it's ......."
Seeing the embarrassment on the other party's face, Xiao Yubai waved his hand and said, "Uncle Li, it's okay, it's a good thing that you can repair the house here, at least I still have a place to eat when I come back, if you don't repair it, it is estimated that it will become a garbage heap now."
Although Xiao Yu has memories of this, he doesn't want to build a house here, and there is no need for that! And after the Maoshan Mountain Gate was opened, he had to move his grandfather's bones to Maoshan Mountain, which was just a little more thought for himself.
Seeing that Xiao Yu didn't pursue it, the man immediately said with great joy, "Cheng, you drink tea first, I'll go buy something and come back, let's have a drink in the evening!" By the way, did you come back to the grave? ”
Xiao Yu came back once in the past ten years, no matter who would have thought of it, he must have come back to the grave, after all, the cemetery of the old fairy is behind the village, and the old and young know that now that the grandson is back, what else can he do except go to the grave?
Xiao Yu nodded noncommittally and said, "Well, come back and have a look."
Of course Xiao Yu couldn't say anything about the evil ghost, after the incident happened back then, there was a panic in the whole village, for fear that the evil ghost would come back to retaliate, but in the end it didn't! But since that incident, the people in the village have been more taboo about this thing, for fear of attracting bad things.
"Cheng, then I'll buy some incense and candles together, and after eating, I'll go with you to have a look."
The man confessed, then picked up a coat and walked out, but not long after he left, the former village chief actually came here, and after seeing Xiao Yu, there was a burst of cold and warmth, which made Xiao Yu very moved.
"If the old fairy sees you, he will be very happy" The village chief is now half a hundred, and he handled Xiao Yu's grandfather's funeral back then, so Xiao Yu is very grateful to this person.
After a while, many people in the village knew that the grandson of the old fairy had returned, especially some old people, who came to see what the little baby had grown up to look like.
And Xiao Yu looked at so many villagers, and he was also very excited, so he immediately greeted everyone, and after more than an hour, everyone retreated, and Xiao Yu returned to the room again to prepare for dinner.
It was getting dark, and after eating, Xiao Yu and a few people carried a little incense and candles and walked towards the mountains behind the village, but Xiao Yu's mood at this time was very heavy, this was the first time he came here to visit the grave after he left for twelve years, so the mood was inevitably sad.
It's just that to Xiao Yu's surprise, the area around his grandfather's graveyard is very clean, and there are no imaginary weeds to regenerate, and on the edge of the cemetery, there are still some pines and cypresses, which should not have been planted for a few years, so it doesn't look big.
At night, a lonely grave, like a left-behind old man, lies there lonely, guarding this piece of heaven and earth.
"Old friend... I've come to see you, and your grandson, you old guy has been gone for more than ten years, and I don't know if you're doing well down there, if you lack anything, give me a dream, and I'll prepare some for you."
Standing on the edge of the cemetery, Shi Dao Chang said a few words as if he was emotional, and then he squatted down and began to light incense and candles.
"Grandpa...".
Looking at the cemetery, Xiao Yu shouted softly, this title is so familiar, but it is so unfamiliar.
"Grandpa... I've come to see you... Grandpa".
As the two words of grandpa blurted out, thousands of thoughts turned into rolling tears, making Xiao Yu's eyes turn red instantly, and his voice whimpered.
"Grandpa... I... I've come to see you... Grandpa".
Xiao Yu knelt on the ground and kept repeating the same sentence, twelve years of separation, although yin and yang are separated, but that scene of the past was yesterday, on the way to do things, on the way to see feng shui, and in the dilapidated mud house.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry, I'm useless, I haven't avenged you yet, I ......."
"I'll avenge you, I'll get you back, grandpa, you must wait for me...".
In the cold wind, where Xiao Yu knelt, as if telling a story, telling the story of these years! Although he is a Taoist, knows the cycle of life and death, and knows that his fate is determined by heaven, he also knows that it was the person in the lonely grave in front of him who gave him a childhood that was different from others.
Behind Xiao Yu, Lao Bai and Yu Shiqing also knelt there, because Xiao Yu's grandfather was from Maoshan Mountain, and Lao Bai, as a disciple of Maoshan who was about to get started, knelt down to worship the patriarch, which was justified! And Yu Shiqing is a junior, and it is reasonable to bow down to the elders.
"Hey, okay kid, it's enough for your grandfather to know your heart, get up."
Shi Daochang waited beside him for a while, pulled Xiao Yu up, and then continued, "Don't worry, your grandfather is a capable person, although he was careless ......... compared with others back then."
When the old Taoist said this, his voice suddenly stopped, and then his voice changed, "Let's go, it's over, go back first, kill the evil ghost first."
"Grandpa Shi, what did you say was careless?" Xiao Yu suddenly turned around and asked.
