Chapter 14: The Night Watch
"When we got home, we had dinner and were ready to go to bed, but in the middle of the night we suddenly heard some sounds, and we got up, and finally my father, not knowing what he saw, stuffed me with a piece of talisman paper, and told me to hide in the cupboard, and I was not allowed to go out no matter what happened, and then I saw what I just said in the cupboard."
As he spoke, Min Min took out a crumpled piece of talisman paper from his arms.
I picked it up and found that it was a peace charm, and then I remembered.
Shortly before my grandfather was taken away, the third uncle asked my grandfather to help me ask for a peace charm, if I guessed correctly, it should be this one.
At this point, all my questions have been answered, and at the same time, I am relieved.
Although the third uncle had an accident, he is now more sure that there is no problem with my arrangement, as long as everyone strictly follows my question, there should be no accident.
As for the third uncle, I can only solve the black cat and help him take revenge.
"Minmin, I know everything, don't worry, I will definitely take revenge on the third uncle."
The mention of revenge Min Min was even more agitated, and even grabbed my hand.
"Jiujiao, I'll leave the matter of revenge to you, I will definitely find a way to repay you in the future."
Minmin's words rang in my ears, but I didn't feel much of it.
Because at this moment, all my attention is on the little hands that are clutching me.
I have to say that I have grown so big, except for my mother and grandmother, it is the first time that a woman has grabbed me like this.
And it was a little girl of my age, and the feeling was really different from when my mother and grandmother grabbed me.
I was stunned for a while, but I only reacted after being reminded by the village chief.
"Don't worry, I will take care of it, I will accompany you to keep a wake tonight, as long as it is buried successfully tonight and tomorrow, the third uncle will not have any more problems, and then I will concentrate on dealing with the black cat and avenge the third uncle."
Min Min looked at me with gratitude in her eyes, and I looked at her deep eyes, and I wanted to fall again.
In the end, he could only get up a moment before the fall and call the village chief to explain to everyone.
When the village chief and I told everyone what Minmin told us, everyone was full of regret.
"It's really pitiful for the third child, that woman doesn't want him anymore, he still cares, and this time he sent his life in."
Listening to everyone's sighs, I have a little feeling in my heart, but now is not the time to talk about this.
"Uncles and uncles, the matter of the third uncle is irreparable, but because of this, everyone can also trust my previous arrangement, so until the matter is resolved, everyone can continue to abide by my arrangement, so as not to have any more problems."
After all, this time I have full evidence that my arrangement is okay, and everyone's attitude towards me has naturally improved a lot.
At the suggestion of the village chief, I asked the villagers to prepare black dog blood, cinnabar, etc., and remixed some cinnabar black dog blood, so that everyone could go back and sprinkle it, which can be regarded as adding a safety bolt to everyone's hearts.
Because I want to stay at the third uncle's house at night, I am going to send my grandmother home, and I will help my grandmother arrange it first.
But my grandmother said that Minmin was pitiful, and I could only compromise when I stayed with Minmin at night.
But in this case, I still went home first and sprinkled the cinnabar black dog blood again at home, and only after I got it done, did I go back to the third uncle's house.
After sprinkling the black dog's blood outside the third uncle's house, it was almost time.
The village chief also led the eight immortals over.
"Minmin is left in the third family, and a few of us will come tonight to help keep the spirit and accompany the third child."
I nodded, although I had already pressed the coffin with the Zhenshan stone, no one could say whether there would be any emergencies.
Someone here can help no matter what's going on, and it's easier to deal with.
Then I made sure that everyone had arranged their homes, so I closed the door and beckoned everyone to come in and sit down.
In the evening, Grandma and Min Min cooked a meal, and the village chief found a few bottles of wine from home and drank them with the Eight Immortals.
Grandma, Min Min and I don't drink, and the three of us are full, so we get off the table.
Grandma accompanied Min Min to keep a vigil in front of the coffin, and I came to the courtyard.
It stands to reason that it's night, and the black cat is definitely going to move, so I'm going out to find the whereabouts of the black cat now.
However, the situation on the third uncle's side may change at any time, and I don't dare to walk away at all.
In the distance, the village was so silent, I could only pray in my heart that tonight would be safe.
After staying in the courtyard for a while, I went back to the house, the village chief Baxian was still drinking, and I came to my grandmother's side to listen to my grandmother and Min Min chatting.
"Minmin, why did your mother send you back all of a sudden? Is she still picking you up? ”
Originally, Minmin had cried enough that day, her eyes were red, and the tears that had just stopped when she heard her grandmother's question leaked down again.
"After my mother sent me back this time, she was going to the city and let me live with my father in the future, who would have thought that this kind of thing would happen to me as soon as I came!"
Grandma has always been kind-hearted, and when she heard Minmin say this, she thought of a poor child, and her mother didn't want it, and her father was gone, and she cried too.
Originally, I still listened to their chatter with gossip in my heart, but I didn't think that the two of them would cry when they came up, which made me unbearable.
Hurriedly ran to get the paper and began to comfort the two.
The two cried for a while, and grandma suddenly stopped crying and said to Minmin: "Good boy, don't be sad, you will follow grandma after that, treat me as your own grandmother, and grandma will raise you."
I was suddenly stunned when I heard my grandmother say this, but I don't think it's strange to think that grandma is kind-hearted and makes this kind of decision.
And Min Min threw herself directly into her grandmother's arms after hearing it.
"Grandma, Min Min will definitely treat you as my own grandmother in the future, and I will definitely honor you well."
Seeing the two of them so affectionate, my eyes were a little moist.
I was about to say a few words, but a squeaky sound interrupted my thoughts.
The sound of squeaking Gege kept coming, and more and more, reaching everyone's ears, and even the village chief and the eight immortals instantly quieted down.
We looked at each other, and they quickly got up and walked behind me.
Grandma and Minmin stood up in panic, but their eyes did not take their eyes off where the sound came from.
For a while, more than a dozen pairs of eyes stared at the coffin in unison, and the constant squeaking sound from under the coffin was like a talisman.
"Boss of the Guan family!"
The village chief whispered my name in my ear, and I waved my hand to prevent him from continuing.
But as soon as the village chief's voice showed it, the Zhenshan stone on the coffin fell to the ground at once.
