Chapter 45: Cool Pass

Su Qingtong obeyed the doctor's instructions, and she was idle at home, but she had to do housework, and she couldn't steal this laziness.

Because she didn't do it, the house really didn't look good, so it was her business to wash clothes and sweep the floor and clean up the house, and later she had to follow Zhou Ruohui to collect firewood.

Occasionally, I will find an excuse to go to City C to see the decoration of a few facades, and by the way, I will hand over the goods to Huang Zhixin.

Life seems to have changed back to the way it was before, but everyone felt something different, that is, Su Xiuqian no longer controlled Su Qingtong's whereabouts as he did before, and to a certain extent, he tried to ease his attitude towards Su Qingtong.

This reminded Su Qingtong of a sentence, Sai Weng lost his horse and knew whether he was blessed, and that escape from death finally brought her a lot of freedom.

In the morning of the beginning of winter, the dead grass on the roadside formed a white ice, which turned into dew when it was basked by the morning sun, and the dew slowly turned into a kind mist.

At this time, the temperature difference between day and night becomes larger.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Su Qingtong had just handed over a batch of goods to Huang Zhixin and went home, and when she saw her younger brother squatting at the gate alone playing with the dirt, she took out a bag of fish skin peanuts for him to eat.

"Where's Grandpa? Where did he go? ”

Su Qingtong asks the most about her grandfather's whereabouts these days, because in the previous life, her grandfather had an accident in the past few days, so every time she went out, she would come back in the afternoon, and her younger brother became a little spy she bribed with snacks.

Su Tianhua was very happy when he had something to eat, picked up a fish skin peanut and stuffed it into his mouth to chew it, and said, "Grandpa helped me buy noodles, and he said that he would make up for my previous birthday noodles." ”

Su Qingtong's heart jumped inexplicably, it seemed that it was today.

She remembered that on the day of her grandfather's accident, she went to buy noodles for her younger brother, because her grandfather was not at home on the day of her brother's birthday, and she blamed herself very much for her grandfather, who loved the only male grandson in the family, so she asked her brother what he wanted to make up for his birthday gift.

If so, the grandfather found a time to buy noodles and came back for his brother to eat.

Grandpa went out that morning and didn't come home until the evening, although the family thought it was weird, and thought that grandpa often ran outside, so they didn't pay attention to it, but they didn't expect such a big accident to happen.

Until the next morning, several students told their father that they saw an old man lying motionless on the side of the road in Qingliangao, looking like Uncle Su.

Dr. Tan from the health center said that his grandfather had a stroke due to high blood pressure, and it turned out that on the way back from buying noodles, his grandfather went to the house of an old lady he liked to sit down, and it is said that he got drunk there, and fell on the way back to Qingliangao, and never got up again, and then suffered from a night of wind and cold, and passed away like this.

Su Qingtong remembered what Sister Wang Yi had said, saying that at dusk on the day when his grandfather fell in Qingliangao, someone saw Wang Jian hurriedly leaving from the place where his grandfather fell with a stick in his hand.

From the meaning of her words, grandpa's death has a great relationship with Wang Jian, and today is the key moment to solve this mystery.

Su Qingtong turned around and went out, and then ran towards his uncle's house.

Wang Biwen was working hard to make red bricks, although the weather was cold, the placket on his body was still soaked with sweat, clinging tightly to the red skin, and the water vapor was rising in the sun.

Seeing Su Qingtong running over from a distance, he scolded angrily: "Why are you running in such a hurry?" If your health is not yet complete, do you still want to go to the hospital once? ”

Su Qingtong hurriedly slowed down and said, "Uncle, I have a very serious matter that I need your help with. ”

Wang Biwen was stunned, he had never seen his niece so anxious, and his expression was quite solemn, as if something big was about to happen.

Wang Biwen first filtered the big things his niece said in his heart, and immediately thought of his wife who was waiting to give birth at a relative's house, thinking that the biggest thing in the two families now is nothing more than this one, so he became nervous first: "Say quickly, what is going on?" ”

Su Qingtong pondered what he wanted to express, and then said: "I had a dream last night, I dreamed that my grandfather fell in Qingliangao when he went to buy noodles, and then lay in the mountains for a night, and died when he was carried home. Just now my brother said that my grandfather went to buy noodles, and the time and things were exactly the same as in my dream, so I have to go to Qingliangao to wait for my grandfather now. Uncle, you will finish work early, and go to my house to sit down after dinner, if I don't come home for dinner, you must remember to find some people to come and look for me. ”

Wang Biwen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was too nervous these days, and as his wife's delivery date was getting closer and closer, his nerves were getting tighter and tighter.

Now that he saw that it was not related to his wife, he muttered in a low voice: "Another dream? Young girl, you have a lot of dreams. ”

Su Qingtong said anxiously: "Uncle, don't worry about my dreams, in short, I'm not joking, you can help me." ”

Wang Biwen was annoyed by her, so he said angrily: "Help, help, I take it to heart, you go to Qingliangao to wait for your grandfather first." ”

Su Qingtong wanted to speak and stopped, for fear that her uncle would deal with her casually, and when the time came, her grandfather would really fall, but no one would be able to carry her to the health center.

Wang Biwen saw that she didn't move, knowing that she was still waiting for his promise, so he helplessly beat the mud in his hand and said, "You go back, I won't do this mud after I finish it, and I will go to your house to sit at the end of the day." ”

Su Qingtong said happily: "I won't go back, I will go directly to Qingliangao to wait for my grandfather, uncle, you remember to come." ”

Wang Biwen said: "You go, go!" ”

Su Qingtong turned around and wanted to leave, who knew that Wang Biwen called her again: "It is desolate over there, you have to pay attention to safety, and your body is not complete, don't be tired, if you feel tired, go to your blind aunt's house to sit, she can't go out, she is at home all day, and she can find her at any time." ””

"Hey! I know. ”

Su Qingtong agreed to go away, and his heart was finally a little calmer, and he was less panicked if he left his hand.

In this life, the eldest uncle seems to have become trusting her, the eldest uncle in the previous life looked down on her, saying that she was not true when she spoke and did things, although she felt wronged, but there were also places where she usually did not do well enough, and she did it again in this life, because she kept the fetus of the eldest aunt, and because of her usual diligence, which improved the uncle's opinion of her, this is the progress of this life.

Su Qingtong walked directly from his uncle's house to Qingliangao, and the crowd along the way was relatively sparse, but fortunately, a few students passed by after school occasionally.

Su Qingtong originally didn't know where her grandfather fell back then, but later went to her sister's house with Wang Yi to play, and Wang Yi's sister mentioned it to her meaningfully: "Do you know that your grandfather had a grudge with Wang Hao's grandfather back then?" Now the place where Wang Hao's family built a new house is the place where your grandfather fell to his death...... ”

Of course, Su Qingtong knew where the Wang family built the house, and it was unspeakably strange at the time, why did the Wang family choose to build a house in the place where his grandfather had an accident? Aren't they afraid?

Wang Yi's sister said: "Wang Hao's father is a very powerful masonry master, and he knows how to do wild things. ”

Wild law is a kind of saying about witchcraft in the local countryside, it is said that people who understand wild methods can harm people invisibly, and some people can catch ghosts and eliminate ghosts, but now there are fewer powerful people, and the people who really understand wild methods only exist in legends.

Su Qingtong vaguely understood at that time, that is, Wang Hao's father deliberately chose to build a house in the place where his grandfather fell to his death, there should be some kind of magic that she didn't understand, could it be that he suppressed his grandfather's soul? It doesn't feel like it.

Su Qingtong didn't want the accident in her previous life to recur, so she kept paying attention to it, if her grandfather died because of a fall, she had nothing to say, if she was really harmed by the Wang family, then she would definitely make the Wang family unhappy.

Today's Qingliang Ao, Wang Yi's sister and Wang Hao's family have not yet built a house here, the whole mountain looks very desolate, the waist-length thatch on the hillside and the thin small trees, giving people a sense of depression, and because of winter, the exhausted thatch rattles in the cold wind, bringing people an indescribable cold atmosphere.

This is a nameless mountain, I don't know when it started, the mouth of the mountain gorge is called Qingliangao, so this piece is called Qingliangao, the mountain is not high, the north and south are longitudinal, there are many people living on the east side of the mountain, the west side of the ridge mouth is barren again, there are usually cattle people who collect firewood and villagers who plant sweet potatoes walk around here, but there are not many pedestrians.

Grandpa Su Qingtong fell twenty meters west of the ridge, obviously it was not too remote place, and no one had notified the Su family to pick it up, and it was not until the next morning that a few students who went to school told their father that the matter was really unacceptable.

Su Qingtong stood on the col at the moment, looked at the withering under the sunset, exhaled softly, and then calmed down and waited for his grandfather to pass by.

The sun slowly fell towards the mountain beams in front of it, and the chill of early winter began to hit unscrupulously.

Su Qingtong couldn't help but shudder.

Just when she was waiting impatiently, suddenly, she heard a rustling sound, which was the sound of touching the withered miscanthus grass, and Su Qingtong followed the voice.

Grandpa's tall figure was turning crookedly from the mountain road to the north, and he drank a lot of wine at a glance.

Su Qingtong showed a hint of a smile and was about to call out to his grandfather, when suddenly, his grandfather rushed forward.

Su Qingtong looked at the boy who appeared behind her grandfather in horror, it was Wang Jian, who had fought with her last year, and he was about to smash the back of his grandfather's head again with a wooden stick in his hand.

Su Qingtong immediately knew the cause of his grandfather's death in his previous life, and it was really Wang Jian's victim, as the so-called no wind and no waves, there are always some shadows in the rumors, but the poor descendants of them don't know anything.

At this moment, Su Qingtong looked at the stick that was about to hit her grandfather in fear, she suddenly regretted, why didn't she take a few steps forward and wait for her grandfather, why did she stand at the highest point of the mountain col?

Now it's too late to save her, she was so anxious that she forgot to scream, and only ran towards her grandfather with an impulse, she wanted to push her grandfather away before Wang Jian's wooden stick hit her, although she knew that the distance was too far, but she still did it.

As if it was a blessing to her soul, she only felt that her eyes teleported to her grandfather's side in a flash, and she didn't even have time to react better, so she dragged her grandfather directly into the space.

Su Qingtong looked at his grandfather who fainted in the space because of the sudden change in space, fortunately, the stick did not hit his grandfather's head, otherwise he would not have survived, no wonder the person who changed his grandfather's longevity clothes in his previous life said that his grandfather had a scar on his head, and it turned out that the scar came from this way.

Grandpa has been unable to speak since he was brought back, and the truth of this matter has been covered up.

A wave of resentment welled up in Su Qingtong's heart, and he wanted to kill Wang Jian to relieve the hatred in his heart.

At this time, Wang Jian was stupid and looked at the empty mountains in a daze.

At this time, a mountain wind blew in the silent and desolate twilight, Wang Jian couldn't help but shiver all over his body, opened his feet and rushed towards the way home.

Wang Jian sat beside his parents in a daze, the more he thought about it, the more scared he became, his father Wang Dazhi finally discovered his son's abnormality, and couldn't help but ask him: "Wang Jian, what's wrong with you today?" ”

Wang Jian peeked outside the gate with palpitations, and then asked his father in a low voice: "Dad, do you think there are really ghosts in this world?" ”

Wang Dazhi was stunned, this is all about ghosts, it seems that the matter is not small, so he hurriedly sat up straight and asked: "What happened, you tell me in detail, you can't hide it from me." ”

Wang Jian secretly glanced at his busy mother next to him, and then at his younger brothers who were lying on the table doing their homework, and then recalled with palpitations: "When I was herding cattle, I saw the old man of the Su family walking crookedly on the mountain road next to our house, as if he had drunk a lot of wine, so I secretly followed him, and waited until there was no one to pick up a stick on the side of the road and hit him, who knew that the old guy was in good health, and he didn't knock him down at once, I was about to hit the second time, who knows, The wild bastard girl of the Su family didn't know where to come out, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them disappeared at the same time, Dad, do you think this thing is strange? ”
