Poyang Battlefield Chapter 7 Behind the Trivia
After listening to my grandmother's words, I suddenly understood a truth, ghosts, if they really exist, then they and us living people should be in two different worlds, even if the space is the same, they should be in different dimensions.
I'm thinking, if ghosts really exist, then they definitely won't act with someone's will, they have their own ideas, they have their "rules", just now my grandmother said the words "wall" and "rules", that is, ghosts can't come to the living world casually, and those ghosts who break through many obstacles and come to the living world can't just scare the living, or what life wishes are.
Before that, almost all of my impressions of ghosts came from the TV set, those zombies, female ghosts with hair, and evil ghosts with teeth and claws, etc., almost everyone's concept of ghosts.
But is that really the case?
Although I was still a little incompetent about the concept of "ghost", I was deeply impressed by my grandmother's words, and looking at my grandmother's face full of furrows and stories, I realized that my grandmother's experience may be much more than what she told me.
"Aunt Zu, then you mean that Qiu Yan's illness is incurable?"
"Hmph, it's not so much a disease as a curse, what disease have you ever seen that will be passed down from generation to generation, and it will be passed on for hundreds of years?" Grandma replied coldly.
I glanced at Qiu Yan and said, "Oh, yes, Qiu Yan also said that the curse was coming at the beginning, so we went to find a tiger bone spearhead that can drive away evil spirits!" β
"Yes, our ancestors once met an old man in Xiangxi, and the old man said that our illness was under the spell of Chiyou." Qiu Yan added.
I saw that my grandmother's face changed significantly when she heard the word "Chiyou", but this change was only fleeting.
"Chiyou? That's the ancestor of our Tujia family, your family's tomb robbery was invaded by evil energy, what does it have to do with Chiyou? β
As soon as my grandmother heard Qiu Yan speak, her anger rose up, I knew that continuing to keep Qiu Yan here would only embarrass her, and Qiu Yan's face was not very good, if it weren't for me, maybe she would have exploded earlier.
Fortunately, Qiu Yan's mobile phone rang at this time, she ran out to answer the phone, and ran back to tell me that there was something wrong with the company and she had to go back.
I guessed that this was Qiu Yan's excuse, she didn't want to stay here anymore, so I borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, nodded and asked her to go back.
Qiu Yan said goodbye to her grandmother, but her grandmother didn't pay much attention, I said to send Qiu Yan, and my grandmother nodded and agreed.
"Qiu Yan, I'm sorry, I didn't expect my grandmother to be so weird." On the way to find the car, I saw Qiu Yan sullen, so I apologized.
"It's okay, my grandmother is right, our family is cursed for robbing tombs, and we brought it on ourselves."
"Don't say that, it's your ancestor who robbed the tomb, and it has nothing to do with you, don't worry, my grandmother is my grandmother, I am me, I will definitely accompany you to continue to look for it!"
"I know, thank you, you go back, don't be too late, grandma should be angry again."
"Hey, no matter her, I'll get you in the car!"
At my insistent request, I sent Qiu Yan to the car, and before leaving, I made an agreement with Qiu Yan that we would find out the news separately and notify each other as soon as there was a clue.
Qiu Yan never responded, and I knew that it was my grandmother's words that affected her.
"Qiu Yan, if you have to say it, I will let you go, and say, you will notify me as soon as you have a clue!" I grabbed Qiu Yan's steering wheel and said.
After a stalemate for a while, Qiu Yan finally showed a smile: "Okay! I'll let you know as soon as I find a clue, okay? β
Seeing Qiu Yan's smiling face, I was relieved, and then let Qiu Yan leave.
After Qiu Yan left, I was thinking about how to go back to persuade my grandmother, and when I looked back, Huang Yueling ran back with two large wooden barrels, judging from her panting appearance, the two wooden barrels should still be full.
"I said Yue Ling'er, what are you running around with two large buckets of water!" When Huang Yueling came to me, I couldn't help but quip.
"I've said it several times, why can't you remember, you have to call me aunt!" Huang Yueling glanced at me and continued to walk back in a huff.
"Remember this time! Yue Ling'er, you haven't answered me yet, why are you carrying two buckets of water? β
"Practice!"
"Practice? What kind of exercises are you practicing? β
"Practicing is practice, grandma said, I don't have much strength in my arms, so I have to practice."
"Is it what my grandmother said?"
"Yes!"
I said in my heart that if you can practice with two buckets of water like this, it will be too simple!
But before I could rest assured, Huang Yueling's next sentence startled me: "I've been practicing for more than ten years!" β
I widened my eyes and asked, "More than ten years?" Didn't you start mentioning such a big poke at what age you were old? β
"You stupid, can I lift it at such a young age? Of course, when you are small, you carry a small bucket, and then increase it little by little! β
Huang Yueling said it easily, but it's not easy to think about, more than ten years of practice is like a day, ordinary people really can't do it, and I still want to learn from my grandmother for a month, and then I will take the results with Qiu Yan to break into the world, if it takes more than ten years, then I can't wait.
It didn't take long for the two of us to walk to the door of my grandmother's house, and at this time there was a sound of stir-frying in the house, and Huang Yueling carried two buckets and said "grandma" and went in.
I thought that with Huang Yueling here, the next atmosphere should be eased a little, so I followed into the kitchen.
How do you know that as soon as I entered, my grandmother instructed me with an iron face: "Zimu, you are not allowed to bring outsiders in the future, even if you have to bring them over, you must ask me in advance, understand?" β
Huang Yueling stood aside and smiled smugly at me, although I couldn't understand it, but because this was my eldest elder, and this was her home, I had to nod and agree.
"Okay, Yue Ling'er, help me cook, Zimu, you continue to chop wood!"
In this way, I held back my stomach for words, but in the end I didn't say it.
After this conversation between Qiu Yan and my grandmother, I had a sense of intimacy with my grandmother before I suddenly lost most of it, in my grandmother's story, she is a beautiful and smart, and very good at running a family, she said that she and Jiang Lieyang together won a lot of hearts by helping people and enduring hardships, but I didn't see these at all this morning, this morning's grandmother, more like a vulgar person who has no sympathy and does not know how to be polite.
Coupled with what Huang Yueling said just now, I had the idea of retreating, thinking that after living here for a few days and fulfilling my love, I would just find an excuse to leave.
A month later, however, I realized that I had been naΓ―ve.
In this month, I got up at 6 o'clock every morning, and then carried two buckets of water with Huang Yueling to "practice", and then I chopped wood for cooking, and after breakfast, I accompanied my grandmother to fish, and in the evening, my grandmother explained to me the knowledge of Chinese medicine acupuncture and corpse expulsion.
Also in this month, Huang Yueling and I received all kinds of people, these people came to visit my grandmother, and it can be seen that these people's respect for my grandmother is from the heart, and it seems that as long as my grandmother gives an order, these people will shed blood for my grandmother.
For the rest of the month, Huang Yueling and I went to several orphanages and shelters in the neighborhood almost every day to give gifts and money to the children.
Anyway, in this month, my grandmother gave me the feeling that Li Yili felt in her story, and slowly, my lost intimacy returned.
However, behind these trifles, I have also observed some other situations.
The first situation is that my grandmother hardly eats, whether it is her own cooking or supplements sent by others, she almost never eats, and it is only when the three of us are sitting at the dinner table and chatting that I see her picking two grains of rice into her mouth from time to time.
In this regard, Huang Yueling's explanation is that her grandmother has her own way of health preservation, and she eats a little herb she prepares every night, so she doesn't eat much during the day.
I did see that every night before going to bed, Huang Yueling would boil some Chinese medicine on the stove and send it to my grandmother's room.
Although Huang Yueling can explain it before and after, but this situation is too unusual, as we all know, people must consume a certain amount of carbohydrates, proteins and fats every day in order to support a person's activities all day long, which is not a sentence that grandparents can deny when they are old.
In addition, my grandmother intentionally or unintentionally let me get together with Huang Yueling every day, although they didn't show it, I always felt that my grandmother asked me to "practice" this time, and let me get along with Huang Yueling is the main thing.
Huang Yueling is still very beautiful, in terms of appearance alone, she is on par with Qiu Yan, and she has a sense of liveliness that Qiu Yan does not have, and it is not a pleasure to joke with her every day.
But I never had that feeling for her, I thought to myself that it was a waste of my grandmother's good intentions, Huang Yueling and I can become brother and sister at most, forget it when we are lovers!
In this way, I stayed at my grandmother's house for a few more days, and although I had food and drink every day, there was no progress on the matter between me and Qiu Yan: I couldn't get more information from my grandmother, and Qiu Yan never called.
That night, I was bored, so I called Qiu Yan.
On the phone, Qiu Yan was still as depressed as ever, and I didn't know how to persuade her, so I said that I might as well go to Poyang Lake to have a look, maybe I could find something.
When Qiu Yan heard this, she asked, "Can your grandmother let you go?" β
As soon as Qiu Yan said this, I knew that she couldn't be idle.
"You don't care about this, pack up first, get ready, and then wait for my call!" I said.
After hanging up the phone, I went back to the house and told my grandmother about my decision, and after listening to it, my grandmother didn't say anything for a long time, and finally she said: "Since you are ready, then your grandmother will not stop you, but you have to promise me one thing!" β
"Grandma, you say."
"Bring Yue Ling'er with you!"
After hearing this, not only me, but Huang Yueling was also stunned.
"Grandma, what am I going to do, besides, I'm not by your side, who will take care of you?"
"I've lived so old, it's okay to take care of myself, I'm just worried about Zimu, he's not as good as you, and I don't know how powerful things are, you're by his side, you can help, I'm so relieved."
In fact, I can also see it these days, my grandmother intends to match me and Huang Yueling, but Huang Yueling was stunned and didn't know at all, this time my grandmother must have meant this again, and Huang Yueling still didn't see it.
"Grandma, this~~ Don't use it, my skills are still passable, and Yue Ling'er is right, you need someone to take care of you!"
Who knew that when my grandmother heard this, she slammed the table: "What's wrong?" Doesn't it work for me to talk? I said go and go, don't fight! β
