Chapter 3 The Dead Sister Li
A few days later, one evening, a child about the same size as me suddenly came to me.
"Fool, Mrs. Li's daughter has passed away, and there is a lack of grave guards there, do you want to go and see it?" A kid my age shouted at me.
After I heard this, it was like a thunderbolt hitting me in the sky, and I never thought that my sister, who was so good to me on weekdays, would suddenly pass away.
"What's wrong? Fool, don't you usually be happy, why don't you look very happy? The child looked at me and asked.
"I didn't ...... It's okay. After saying that, I turned around and ran in the direction of Mrs. Li's house.
As I ran towards Li's house, I remembered that night a few months ago.
Just a few months ago, this sister was forcibly married to a butcher in the county town by Mrs. Li, although I don't understand the love and love of adults, but I can see that the big sister is very reluctant.
"Little fool, my sister has come to see you."
"Hehe, my sister is here." I smiled and looked at my sister and said.
"I brought you a big chicken leg, hurry up and eat it." My sister casually put a small lunch box next to me.
I hurriedly opened the lunch box, and then I saw the chicken thighs in the lunch box, and then I took out the chicken thighs, put them to my mouth and nibbled on them.
While gnawing on the chicken legs, I overheard a faint sobbing sound, and when I looked up, I saw that my sister was actually crying.
"Sister, why are you crying?" I asked curiously, because in my memory, my sister seemed to be smiling, and I had never seen her look like this.
"My sister may not be able to come to see you in the future, you have to take good care of yourself in the future, and don't let others bully you anymore." As she spoke, my sister gently stroked the back of my head.
"Why, sister?" I asked as I jerked to my feet.
"Adult things, you still don't understand, sometimes, I really envy you, I really want to live carefree like you, but some things ...... Forget it, let's not talk about it, you can eat quickly. My sister wiped away her tears and stopped talking.
I wanted to ask more, but when I saw my sister's appearance, I didn't have a good time opening my mouth to ask.
The next day, I learned the news of my sister's marriage, then I understood why my sister cried yesterday, when I was hot-headed, I rushed into Mrs. Li's house, I shouted at those people, don't let my sister get married, I said that my sister didn't want to at all, and finally I was beaten out by Mrs. Li's family with a wooden stick, if it wasn't for my sister to stop me, it is estimated that I would have been beaten violently.
In the end, I had to leave, and then I realized how small my power was, but what could I do about it, and I was just an orphan.
Thinking like this, I have come to the door of Mrs. Li's house.
Mrs. Li stood at the door and looked at me, and asked coldly, "Alas? Fool, why are you here? ”
"Mrs. Li, I heard that Sister Li has passed away, and I want to help guard the grave." I looked at Mrs. Li and said.
Mrs. Li said coldly: "No need, we have already found a good person, you can go back." ”
"Master Li, just let me go, usually Sister Li is the best to me, I want to send her at the end, I don't want anything, I just ask you to let me go to guard the grave." As I spoke, my eyes turned red, and my legs knelt down unconsciously.
Mrs. Li looked at my appearance and hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly opened his mouth and said: "Okay, then you go, I'll just push that person away, the location is in the back mountain, you will know when you go." ”
After saying that, Mrs. Li came into the house and brought me some food and a lot of paper money, I took the things and turned around and walked towards the back mountain.
When I arrived, it was completely dark, and the round moon hung high in the night sky, and there were many stars twinkling in the night sky, which looked so beautiful and beautiful, but at this time, I was not in the mood to see this.
I walked slowly to a new grave, I looked around left and right, I thought this should be my sister's grave, and I slowly knelt down in front of my sister's grave.
"Sister, the fool has come to see you." I said as I lit the paper money.
The paper money was lit, the fire also illuminated the surrounding environment, and my tears flowed down at this time.
I cried at my sister's grave for a long, long time, until suddenly there was a sound of footsteps behind me, and I stopped crying.
I turned my head sharply, and saw a crooked figure walking in my direction.
"What...... Who? I asked in a trembling voice.
But I didn't see the person talking, still walking towards me crookedly, I quickly picked up a stone from the ground, and then looked nervously at the figure.
The figure was getting closer and closer to me, and at last I was completely exposed to the light of the burning paper money, only to see a scruffy Taoist priest dressed in patches appear in front of me, his cheeks were full of stubble, and on his back he carried two long swords, one golden and the other red, the red one looked as if it were wooden.
"You...... What are you doing? I grabbed a stone and asked as I stepped back and looked at the sloppy Taoist priest.
The sloppy priest didn't answer me directly, but walked straight to my side, then looked me up and down, and finally his brow began to wrinkle slightly.
"Stinky boy, your kid's life is so bad, I didn't expect to be able to live until now, and it can be regarded as a blessing that your kid cultivated in his last life." The sloppy Taoist priest looked at me and said with a mouth that smelled of wine.
"What...... What do you want to do? I looked at the sloppy Taoist priest and asked again.
"Boy, I advise you to get out of here early, there are snake spirits here, a child like you is not enough for it to stuff his teeth, listen to my persuasion, you should leave here quickly." The sloppy Taoist priest looked at me and said.
"No...... No way, you must be fooling me, you walk away for me. I raised the stone in my hand and shouted.
"Alas, don't listen to me, you ask for more blessings." After speaking, the sloppy Taoist priest turned around and walked in the direction he came.
Looking at the sloppy Taoist priest's disappearing back, I threw the stone to the side.
Then he continued to kneel in front of his sister's grave and burned paper money, and he also looked in the direction where the sloppy Taoist priest disappeared from time to time, for fear that the sloppy Taoist priest would come back again.
However, my worries were obviously unfounded, and the Taoist priest did not return again.
When all the paper money was burned, I lay down on one side of the grave.
