Chapter 45: Grandma's Persuasion
I hurried home and went straight into my room.
Grandma must have seen me in a hurry, so she knocked on the door and asked me what was going on.
I was so busy looking through my grandfather's notes that I didn't bother to explain in detail, so I simply said a word and ignored it.
I quickly read my grandfather's notes, and one thing that my grandfather had experienced flashed quickly in my mind.
Finally when I saw something about it, I slowed myself down.
Everything in Grandpa's handbook is very detailed, and the same is true of the one in front of me.
And it also mentions the situation that the incense is not lit when the burial is done.
I read it carefully, and when I saw Grandpa's conclusion at the end, I was stunned.
I checked my grandfather's notes again and again to make sure I was not mistaken.
However, after confirming it, I felt a conspiracy that shrouded me.
Then I hurriedly put down my notes and ran out.
After going out, I came all the way to the back mountain, in front of Yingzi's grave.
The incense that had not been lit before was still in front of the grave, and I picked it up and tried to light it.
But as before, the fire only flickered for a moment, and then went out.
I gasped and pulled the compass from my arms.
Because this is a grave circle, there are naturally countless dirty things, so the pointer on the compass immediately moved.
Because there is dirt in almost every direction, the hands tremble and spin in circles.
However, just as the pointer was about to turn to the front, that is, when it was about to point to Yingzi's grave, it turned in a different direction.
But no matter which direction he turned, when he was about to point to Yingzi's grave, he immediately changed direction.
Seeing this scene, my heart was even colder.
I just found some information from my grandfather's notes, but according to my grandfather's notes, this is definitely not a good thing.
Grandpa also encountered a similar situation once, but that time almost killed grandpa.
Or maybe it's because of this, Grandpa just brushed it off, so I couldn't be sure what was going on.
But since the things that can put grandpa in trouble, it will never be easy.
I don't know how I got down the mountain, but by the time I came back to it, I was already in front of Huzi's house.
Huzi saw me in the yard and hurriedly stopped me.
"Jiujiao, what's wrong with you, look at you absent-minded?"
Huzi looked at me with a puzzled face, but I couldn't explain it to him, so I could only shake my head.
Seeing that I shook his head, Huzi did not continue to ask, but began to ask Yingzi's question.
"Jiujiao, what's going on with Yingzi? Is it because there is something that has not been done well, Yingzi is unhappy? ”
I shook my head, "Brother Huzi, don't worry, Sister-in-law Yingzi has completely let go, as for why this situation happened, it may be due to other reasons, but it shouldn't be a big deal, you don't have to worry." ”
Although I have already judged Yingzi's situation, I don't dare to tell Huzi now.
One is that I don't want it to be what I think, and now there is no definite evidence to prove it, so I don't want to admit it.
The second is because if I tell Huzi, I'm afraid he won't be able to accept it, and it will be bad if there is any chaos when he is excited, after all, he is now old and young, and he can't live without him at home.
Listening to my words, the expression on Huzi's face obviously eased a lot, but immediately there was a new problem.
"Jiujiao, even if it's not a big deal, but she doesn't accept incense, is it possible that she will be like this every year and festival in the future? What if she has no money down there and is bullied? ”
"Brother Huzi, you can help your sister-in-law set up a spiritual seat at home, and then you can put incense in front of the spiritual seat."
Although Huzi's previous actions were really annoying, it can be seen that he really cares about Yingzi now.
It's a pity that no matter how much he cares, Yingzi can't feel it, and Yingzi won't go to the underworld to report at all.
And in the face of such a him, I chose a white lie, hoping to give him some relief.
Huzi didn't doubt my words in the slightest, took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms and stuffed it into my hand.
"Jiujiao, I have been flustered before, and I have lost a lot of courtesy, and I will make up for you with my brother another day!"
For those who eat the bowl of rice carrying the coffin, the number of rituals is indispensable, but because sometimes the situation is special, some rituals can be ignored.
And Yingzi died unjustly, and gave birth after death, her situation is already very special, and some etiquette doesn't need to be cared about.
Otherwise, I would have reminded Huzi before.
"Brother Huzi, you are serious, you will take good care of Nianying in the future, if there is anything, I can help you, you can speak directly."
I haven't forgotten that Yingzi's sister-in-law asked me to help take care of Nianying, and I have promised her, so I naturally have to take on this responsibility.
Secondly, in fact, I also feel a little guilty in my heart, I always feel that Yingzi's affairs have developed to this point, and there is a lot of responsibility on me.
So I have to help take care of Nianying, which can be regarded as atonement.
After a few more conversations, I went home.
Calling me back, my grandmother hurriedly called me to my room and asked me what had happened.
Although there are some things I can't tell Huzi, it doesn't mean I can't tell grandma.
This matter is a bit too complicated for me to digest, and secondly, my grandfather's description in the diary is not very detailed, and I hope to get some other clues from my grandmother.
Sure enough, my conjecture was not wrong, and my grandmother also had a certain understanding of this matter. So after I told Yingzi's situation, Grandma's face was a little ugly.
"Jiujiao, if you can, you still don't want to get involved in this matter anymore, our Guan family is left with you now, you can't have anything."
"Grandma, how could I not be involved, after all, when I took over the matter of Yingzi's sister-in-law, it had already been shown that I was implicated in this matter, and it was so easy to pick it up."
Hearing me say this, my grandmother let out a long sigh and looked at me with heartache in her eyes.
"Jiujiao, this is really too dangerous, if it wasn't for your grandfather who escaped by luck, you might not have had a grandfather a long time ago."
Grandma's words hit me hard, and I became more and more aware of the dangerous situation I was in now.
But I have no way back, I can only go ahead.
