Chapter 3 Lighting the Three Pillars of Incense

After all this time, I still couldn't get used to the smell in the air, and I couldn't help but gause, and my clothes were already soaked in the rain from the inside out.

The dark room, every step I take, I feel like a thousand gold. I pulled out my phone in my pocket and walked down the hall, trying to find the switch for the light.

It looked like I had kicked something, and I quickly took a picture of my phone at my feet.

Although the light was a little dim, I was still shocked to break out in a cold sweat on my back, Grandpa Zhang's body was covered with a white cloth and did not move, so I, who just kicked, could it be Grandpa Zhang's head?

My heart raced, I tried to compose myself, bypassed the corpse, and continued to search for the switch.

For a moment, I just felt that the world was spinning, the phone was thrown out by me, and I was in pain, I wiped my forehead with my hand, it was a little sticky, and I was flustered and touched the phone around, what is this?

"Ahh

One center of gravity was unstable, and the whole person fell out, and I didn't care about the mud in my mouth, and ran wildly in the direction of the gate.

Pulling the door hard, in response to my heavy iron chain sound, hitting the big iron door again and again, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't open the door. I looked back at the room, and the darkness was like a whirlpool, as if it was about to suck me in.

I didn't dare to look any further, and glanced around, there was almost no shelter from the rain in the whole yard, and the wind-blown barn door, "crunch, crunch", the sound went straight to people's hearts.

I didn't care so much, I ran desperately towards the kennel, I tried to hold my legs, I couldn't help but tremble, and I curled up in the kennel like this, only here was the safest, I only hoped that the terrible night would end soon.

Now only the kennel can shelter me from the wind and rain, so that it will not make people cold to the bone.

I spent the night trembling until I heard the sound of chains banging on the door, and I quickly crawled out of the kennel. I saw the village chief and a few villagers walking in lazily, he was holding a thick iron chain in his hand, I instantly understood the reason why I couldn't get out yesterday, was this afraid that I would go to them?

I'm really afraid of some bad luck from me!

I clenched my fists and held back the anger in my heart, "Uncle Wang, what are you doing here?" "My eyes fell on the chains.

"I'm not afraid of someone breaking into here, but I'm locked up for safety. Yesterday your aunt asked me to call you, and I thought you wouldn't come, so I didn't come back. Did you sleep well yesterday? The village chief's face was full of smiles, and his face was shiny, and he looked at him with the urge to beat him.

Anyway, it is simply an insult to compete with such a person, and burying Grandpa Zhang is a big deal, "Sleep well, hurry up and let Grandpa Zhang be buried in peace!" ”

I turned around and walked in front, and as soon as I entered the door, I was a little panicked, and I couldn't help but shiver.

Stepping back and stepping on the village chief's feet, he held me, and then, bending down to pick up my phone, handed it to me. Without saying anything, he walked towards Grandpa Zhang's corpse.

Yesterday I didn't look carefully at this room, today I looked carefully, before I ate with Grandpa Zhang's table, it became an incense case, there was an extra tripod on the table, and there were three pillars of incense inserted in the tripod, the kind that was very thick, the incense was just a little black, as if it was not lit.

There was a small bowl in each corner of the table, and the small bowl contained a red, blackened liquid, which I guess was the blood of the little black.

The village chief asked the villagers behind him to take out white cloths and wrap Grandpa Zhang's body again.

Then he overturned the entire table: "Xiao Ye, let's deal with Lao Zhangtou's body, you clean up his house!" By the way, someone will come to pick up that black dog in the future, just put it there, and you don't have to worry about it. ”

After the village chief finished speaking, he clapped his hands, looked at the debris on the ground, nodded at me, and went out with the villagers carrying Grandpa Zhang's body.

Xiao Hei's shriveled corpse was like a dried corpse that had been sucked dry by a vampire, but the four bowls of blood at the foot of the table just now couldn't make Xiao Hei become in such a shriveled state, I shook my head fiercely, not wanting to find anything more. I found a cotton sheet and covered the little black.

I walked to the room where I stayed on my first day, took out clean clothes, hurriedly changed into dirty clothes, and after changing, stuffed them into my backpack.

I picked up the tripod that had been knocked over by the village chief, and there were many strange symbols on it, all stained with blood.

I lifted the table by mistake, placed the ding on it properly, took a match, and lit the half-folded incense, maybe this is what Grandpa Zhang wants!

After an afternoon of cleaning, the smell in the house faded a lot, and the incense on the table had long since burned out.

It occurred to me that the red parcel on my grandfather's grave had been a list of jokes, and that perhaps I should go and get it back.

I looked around, the day was not as frightening as the night, I took my luggage, and went to look for the letter first, and in a moment someone would come and take Hei away, and I closed the door softly, and it was unlocked.

This time I went up the mountain without too much pretension, and directly followed my grandmother's way, and soon walked to my grandfather's grave.

I picked up the worn-out utensils on the grave and looked carefully, the symbols on the utensils were very similar to the symbols on Grandpa Zhang's tripod.

The only difference is that the words on this utensil are hot-stamped, while the symbol of Grandpa Zhang is painted. There could be no such coincidence, is there really a connection between this? There are too many doubts, and no one will answer them.

"Buzz, buzz" There was a tremble, I took out my phone and saw that it was my sister calling.

"Why don't you stay in the capital and go back to your hometown? I asked several people to find out that the call has been going on for two days, and you are only answering it now. Before I could speak, I complained on the phone.

"During the Qingming Festival holiday, I came to see my grandfather for the last time, and I won't have a chance to come back from work in the future." I craned my neck and looked down the mountain, a bright red hung halfway up the mountain, I couldn't suppress the ecstasy in my heart, glad it was still here.

"Brother, did you listen to me talk to you? Hey, Ghost Ye? My mind was drawn back to the roar, and I could imagine her hands on her waist.

"I don't have a good signal here, so I won't tell you." I want to end this conversation quickly so that I can get the letter in my hands.

"You, what's going on?" I was about to hang up when my hand froze in the air. I was silent for a long time, but I decided to tell my sister.

"Grandpa Zhang, who loves you the most, left yesterday. Moreover, his death was quite bizarre. I hesitated to continue.

"Brother, don't go anywhere, just wait for me in the village, I've already gotten off the train, and I'll take the bus over tomorrow morning." Her words didn't sound like a joke at all.

She spoke so calmly, as if she had known everything that was going on here.

I suddenly felt that my only living relative, Jing had become so strange.
