Grandpa Li Jiujin is a very mysterious person, I don't know why he called this name, I don't know what he does, I only know that he often runs around to do funerals for people, and will send a sum of money to the family every month, so far I have only seen him twice, once when my grandfather died, my grandfather came back to preside over the funeral, and once I was admitted to the university to invite guests to dinner, grandpa came back from outside, and brought back two bottles of Kweichow Moutai, and it was also that time that he gave me a jade pendant for me to wear on my body, Then he took out a package and gave it to his father and left.

Later, less than a month after the start of my freshman year, my father suddenly called me and said that there was an urgent matter for me to go home, so I took three days off and hurried back. When I got home, I realized that my grandfather had passed away, and the family had already arranged the funeral so that my grandfather could be buried early.

When my father saw me coming back, he pulled me aside and said: Your grandfather's coffin can't be lifted, and more than a dozen strong men in the village can't lift it.

I didn't say a word and came into my room with a filial piety dress, saying that the filial piety clothes were actually two pieces of white cloth, one of which had a ball-sized opening in the middle, which should be draped on the body to expose the head, and the other one was a little smaller, and it seemed to be wrapped around the waist, and it took a long time to put this filial piety dress on.

I opened the door to the mourning hall and saw that my parents, mother, and many relatives were already waiting there, and there were more than a dozen strong men next to me, all of whom knew the villagers in the village, all of them holding guys in their hands, and they should be the ones carrying the coffin.

I walked up to my dad and asked, "What do I do now?" Dad pointed to a futon under the coffin in the middle of the mourning hall and said, "Kowtow to your grandfather three times, you have to kowtow sincerely, and then put on three sticks of incense after kowtowing." ”

I didn't think much about it, so I turned around and walked to the coffin and knelt down, and as soon as I knelt down, there was a very small gust of wind, which would not be strange if I had put it in normal times, but today I felt a cold swish behind me.

I twisted my body, took a deep breath, then closed my eyes and kowtowed to my grandfather three times. Then he got up and took three sticks of incense and lit them on the candle next to him, bowed respectfully to the tablet, and finally inserted the incense into the incense burner. After doing this, I also retreated to my parents' side, and then the dozen or so strong men took ropes and tied the coffin.

Everything was ready, only to see Liu Laohan in the village holding a big rooster to the coffin and bolting the rooster to the coffin.

Liu Laohan is a well-known funeral gentleman here and the fee is relatively cheap, so I asked him to preside over the funeral.

I saw Liu Laohan circling around the coffin, and he was still reading something in his mouth, and then he came to the door of the mourning hall, lit three pieces of yellow paper, threw them out from the door, and said loudly: Wear the rope and lift the coffin.

The strong men were already ready to go, and when they heard the command, they quickly put on the wooden sticks, and the eight people were evenly divided on the shoulders on both sides of the coffin. I heard Liu Laohan shouting: "Get up!" Eight people worked together, and then the coffin was gradually lifted. Seeing the successful coffin, Dad's nervous expression relaxed a lot. We followed the coffin caravan out of the door and headed for the cemetery......

After the funeral, I had dinner at home, and it wasn't until 11 o'clock in the evening that the villagers who helped left. I felt a little tired, so I put three sticks of incense on my grandfather and prepared to go to the room to rest. Not long after entering the room, Dad opened the door and came in.

When I saw him come in, I got up from the bed, and my father sat next to me, gave me a small burden, and then said: "This is what your grandfather told you to give, you have to take a good look at it, if you are really not interested, it will be fine, and this bank card is your grandfather's savings, I will help you keep it, and I will give it to you when you can use it in the future." I nodded and asked, "What does Grandpa do, why doesn't he come home all the time?" ”

Hearing this, Dad took out a box of ten-yuan cloud cigarettes from his pocket and took out two and handed one to me, I took the cigarette and lit it myself, he also lit it himself and took a puff and said: "Your grandfather is a warlock who often deals with some unclean things, since you were born, he moved out in order not to let the bad luck on your body affect your growth." Actually, I am not his own son, he picked me up by the garbage dump in the county town forty years ago, I was about to freeze to death, and it was he who sent me to a nearby clinic to treat me in time to survive. ”

Speaking of this, the corners of my father's eyes jumped, and my eyes gradually moistened, I know that my grandfather's death made my father sad, my father has not given my grandfather filial piety all these years, he feels that he owes my grandfather, and I don't feel anything, when I was young, my parents pulled me up, and my heart will not be sad when my grandfather dies, but it is always my grandfather, and I will not be happy no matter how I say it

Dad took a puff of cigarette and slowly exhaled it, then wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and continued: "Your grandfather likes to drink tea, and I always made tea for him when I was a child. When I was 14 years old, he told me that he was not my real father, and over the years he had visited many places and even the police station several times, and finally found my family, and he asked me if I wanted to meet my real father or return to them.

After listening to this, I didn't speak but shook my head blindly, and when he saw that I didn't want to, he said, "Then stay, tomorrow I will take you to get your household registration, and you will be my child from now on." "Actually, it doesn't matter if I'm his biological or not, I only care that he's my father, the closest person in the world besides you and your mother. In the future, you must remember to come back every year on the Qingming Festival to sweep your grandfather's tomb and offer incense. ”

I nodded to indicate that I understood, and my father looked at me meaningfully and stood up and walked out, and closed the door by the way, probably feeling uncomfortable and went back to my room to rest.

I looked at the burden on the bed and had mixed feelings, a warlock from my grandfather, but what did a warlock do, and what was the unclean thing in my father's mouth. After thinking about it for a long time, I simply gave up, so I slowly opened the baggage, and there were a few books in it that seemed to be a little old, and I picked up one of them and looked at it. It is said that the book is actually a brown paper notebook, and the brown and yellow paper is full of a sense of age.

I picked up the book and turned the first page, on which were three words written with a brush - Heavenly Master Record. In the lower right corner, there is a inscription: written by Li Jiujin. I think this should be written by my grandfather before his death and I didn't think much about it and continued to turn backwards.,The content behind is something I've never heard of.,What yin and yang thunder.、Ghost killing spells and other messy things.,I looked at it and felt that grandpa's imagination was really strong.,So I put down this book and flipped through the remaining books.,It's similar to the previous one.,Some write about catching ghosts and demons.、Fighting corpses.,Some write about flowers and plants.、Cure diseases and save people.,And some write about Qimen Dunjia.、Looking for dragons.。 The writing is more vivid than the other, and the other is more incredible, in short, it is like putting all the ingredients you can think of into the same cauldron to cook, which can only be described as colorful and dazzling.

Later, I looked at the time, and it was already early in the morning, so I turned off the lights and went to bed. The next two days were spent at home, and there was no work in the field during this time, so I spent the whole day reading those books in my room to pass the time.

On the morning of the third day, I packed up my things and said goodbye to my parents, and hurried to the station, took a 19-person rural passenger car, and went to the county town to catch the train......
