Chapter 3 Upper Body
I have never understood why my grandfather gave my daughter-in-law such a big gift after reading her eight characters, and whenever I asked my grandfather this question, he told me that he would tell me when he grew up.
Since then, every fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, my grandfather has lit incense and wax under the tablet of An Rushuang, and the incense has been continuous all day long, and there is no mistake.
And after I had this daughter-in-law, I never encountered anything strange again, I went to school and went out to play as normal as everyone else, and the long worm spirit seemed to disappear......
But the daughter-in-law, who had made a deep impression on me in my childhood, and which I was extremely curious about and admired, never appeared again.
It's just that whenever the night is quiet, I always feel that someone is by my side all the time, it should be her, and it can only be her.
My daughter-in-law: An Rushuang.
So I was more careful with the piece of jade pendant that my grandfather gave me, because I knew that she was inside.
When I grew up, although An Rushuang never appeared again, I felt that she was always by my side, such as when I was a child, I met wild dogs in the field, and when they saw me, they ran away with their tails between their legs.
Another example is when I was fighting with someone at school, and I fell into the sewer while fighting each other......
As long as the person who fights with me is unlucky, either he falls on the ground and loses his teeth, or his legs hurt and his stomach hurts, and because of this, I have become a man of the year in our school, and no one dares to mess with me.
But I also have a problem.,That is, in the dead of night.,As long as I want to open the Sakura Country movie to watch.,The computer will crash inexplicably......
I thought that although there would be some episodes in my life, I would also spend my life like others, going to school, taking exams, graduating, working, and living in peace.
Until, when I was eighteen years old, I saw a ghost for the third time in my life, and along with this ghost, I also saw my female ghost daughter-in-law who I hadn't seen for nine years......
At that time, I was a sophomore in college, had just finished the exam, and it was the summer vacation, so I first went to the city to visit my parents, and then I took a car with Cheng Lei from a village to go back to my grandparents' house in the countryside.
Cheng Lei is my classmate, a tall and tall person, since elementary school, we have been classmates, until the current sophomore, so the relationship is very deep.
Getting off the long-distance bus, Cheng Lei and I sat on a donkey cart that happened to return to the village, and it was my grandfather from the village who drove the car, I don't know his name, I only know that Cheng Lei and I have to call him uncle.
He was very kind and warm-hearted, and when he saw me and Cheng Lei from afar, he beckoned us to get in the car.
Although the road is not too far, it is also comfortable to take such a ride.
"The exam is a pain to breathe, it lives in all corners of my body, it hurts to occupy a seat early, it hurts to not occupy a seat, and it hurts even to sleep; The exam is a pain to breathe, it flows back and forth in the blood, it hurts to sleep in class, it hurts to hate not to work hard, and it hurts the most if you can't copy if you want to......"
Cheng Lei, who was sitting with me on the donkey cart, sang loudly while looking at the blue sky and white clouds.
"I said Leizi, don't howl in your voice, save the wolf some money!" I really can't stand the wolf-like roar of the thunder, just like the waves on the shore, wave after wave, which is impossible to guard.
"Third brother, this is why you don't know how to appreciate art, it's not me who blows it, this song comes out of my mouth, it's much better than the original song." Lei Zi looked at me and said with a smug expression.
Hearing Lei Zi's words, I couldn't help but hit him and said:
"Hurry up and pull it down, you're not blowing yet? If Jingru hears your words, it is estimated that it will make you angry and have a heart attack! ”
Lei Zi smiled and asked me:
"Third brother, how much did you copy in this exam?"
"I didn't copy it, but I handed in a blank paper." I said it truthfully.
As soon as Lei Zi heard what I said, he immediately became excited, looked at me with a gloating expression and said:
"Third brother, this time it's your turn to be at the bottom, I also took the time to copy a little, but I forgot to write my name and student number, that's fine, anyway, the rest of the one will be mine."
"It's definitely okay, I saw that you didn't write your name, and I was worried that you would be scolded by the teacher, so I wrote your name on my white scroll, a piece of kindness, Leizi, don't thank my brother, I never ask for anything in return." I patted Reiko on the shoulder and said with a smile.
“…… I'm fighting with you! ”
The best consolation in the world is not to tell the other person, "You will definitely do well in the future!" Instead, he said with a bitter face, "Cry wool, you see, my grades are worse than yours."
Or, write someone else's name on the white scroll in your hand......
Along the way, Lei Zi and I talked and laughed, and followed the donkey cart back to the village together.
After getting off the car, I agreed with Lei Zi to go back tomorrow to catch fish in the river in front of the village, this rural area is not better than the city, there is no entertainment place, catching fish and digging bird eggs has become my and Lei Zi's entertainment from childhood to adulthood.
When I got home, my grandmother, who was feeding the chickens, saw me and happily welcomed me into the house, and before I could sit on the bench, my grandfather called me up and asked me to incense my female ghost daughter-in-law first.
"Chen Yi, next time I come back, the first thing I will do is to put incense on your daughter-in-law, who saved the lives of our grandfather at the beginning, we can't forget our roots." Grandpa looked at me and said earnestly.
"Got it, grandpa, I'll remember it later." I nodded and said, and then gave my daughter-in-law three sticks of incense in a proper manner.
Seeing this, Grandpa smiled slightly, and hurriedly turned back to Grandma on the side and said:
"You old woman, why don't you have any eyesight? Our eldest grandson finally came back for a trip, why don't you do something good?! ”
The dinner was extraordinarily rich, with chicken, fish, vegetables and, of course, my favorite pickles and Yangtze cakes.
Just as I was about to sit down to eat, there was a rush of footsteps from outside the yard, and the dog in the yard did not bark, it should be an acquaintance.
In our country, there is no habit of knocking on the door in the countryside, and the villagers go directly to the house.
"Is Uncle Chen at home?" A woman's voice came in from the courtyard, and I could hear a hint of panic in her tone.
When my grandfather heard this, he got up from the dinner table, opened the door and went out.
After the man walked into the house, I looked up and saw that it was the daughter-in-law of Carpenter Liu from the village.
As soon as Carpenter Liu's daughter-in-law entered the house, she took my grandfather's arm and said:
"Uncle Chen, something happened to the one in my family, you have to save him!" I was so anxious that my face turned red, and I almost shed tears.
"What's wrong with Carpenter Liu? Don't worry, speak slowly. "My grandfather saw the appearance of Cheng Carpenter's daughter-in-law and hurriedly persuaded him.
"I ...... The one in my house has been ghosted! ...... "Carpenter Liu's daughter-in-law looked at my grandfather and said this sentence that made my whole family dumbfounded.
From the tone of Carpenter Liu's daughter-in-law's voice, it can be heard that this is definitely not a joke!
"What do you say?" Grandpa asked, a little surprised.
"The one in my family who let the ghost go up, Uncle Chen, go and take a look, if you go late, he won't be able to live!" The carpenter's daughter-in-law looked at my grandfather and said, her tone filled with anxiety, helplessness, and fear.
The reason why she came to my grandfather was because my grandfather was a well-known fortune teller in this area, and any family in ten miles and eight towns gave birth to a child, and he would bring it to my grandfather to tell his fortune and give him a nickname by the way.
Grandpa never wanted money, just two eggs, and it didn't work if he didn't give it.
So this Liu carpenter met the "ghost upper body", and the first thing her daughter-in-law thought of was me, a grandfather who could tell fortunes.
This "ghost upper body" is also known as bumper in rural areas, that is, it refers to a relatively weak person who suddenly speaks in the voice of a deceased relative or friend, and can also tell many secrets that others do not know.
There are also people who are bumped into and possessed by other bumpers, and this kind of bumper is attached to the locals in a different place, and anyone who encounters the owner of the bumper will be tortured by it.
After listening to Carpenter Liu's daughter-in-law's words, Grandpa did not hesitate, took out a rucksack from the back room, put it on his back and prepared to go out with Carpenter Cheng's daughter-in-law.
Seeing this, I hurriedly stood up and called my grandfather:
"Grandpa, I'm going too." It's the first time I've heard of this ghost, and my curiosity drives me to see what this person looks like after being ghosted.
