5. The farther you go, the better
Life is rare for seventy years, and in these chaotic years, no one knows which one will come first, tomorrow or accidents, so the old people who can live past the age of 60 have prepared their own longevity clothes and longevity materials as early as possible, just in case.
My grandmother originally opened a shroud shop, so it is understandable to prepare shrouds for herself in advance, but the shrouds in the wooden box are green.
Green is a taboo in choosing the color of the shroud, because for ghosts, the green shroud represents an accident.
Only those who die unexpectedly will wear green shrouds, and those who die unexpectedly are not accepted by the underworld and cannot enter reincarnation.
"Grandma, this ......" I looked at her puzzled.
But she interrupted me: "Good boy, help grandma get it first." ”
I bent down, picked up the pure green shroud, and brought it to the bed.
My grandmother reached out and stroked the shroud, but her eyes were fixed on me and said, "I know you have a lot of questions in your heart and want to ask me about them, but now is not the time." ”
"One is that I have a hard time speaking now, and I may not be able to say much; Another point is that today, July 15. ”
July 15, Halloween, the heaviest day of the year, is particularly bad for my grandmother's injury.
"I can wake up for a short time, thanks to you, but it's uncertain whether I can survive today, and even if I can survive, those people won't let me go." Grandma said, "Xiao Jiu, help grandma put on this shroud, you can go, go as far as possible, stay incognito from now on, and never come back." ”
"Grandma, I won't leave you, I want to go together, I want to stay, and I will accompany you to face everything that will happen next." I shook her hand and said firmly.
She shook her head: "In this world, the most terrible thing is not these demons and monsters, the most terrible thing is the hearts of those villains, I have stepped into that whirlpool, it is impossible to get out, and you are different, you can live well." ”
"If you live, your grandmother will be at ease."
As she spoke, she had already begun to put on her shroud, which looked ugly against her sallow face.
I don't want to argue with her, I don't go, and she can't do anything about me.
"Those people, who are they?" I asked as I helped her get dressed.
When my grandmother didn't answer, I speculated, "It's the ones who want to bury us alive, right?" ”
"Xiao Jiu, don't ...... Don't ask, go. "My grandmother suddenly pushed me with all her might, and then spit out a mouthful of black blood, and her body fell on the edge of the bed, and she fell unconscious.
I stood there in a daze for half a minute before I slowly came back to my senses, stepped forward, helped my grandmother wipe the black blood from the corner of her mouth, tidied up her shroud, and let her lie on her side on the bed.
While I don't know why she chose to wear this shroud at such a time, she must have a point.
When everything was done, I sat there, not knowing what to do next.
We fled back overnight and won't be found in a short time, but we can't just hide in this store all the time, because once we get out, our whereabouts will be exposed, and trouble will come to our door when the time comes.
Grandma's current state can no longer withstand any toss, the corpse qi on her body must be removed as soon as possible, and at the same time, I must find a way to let the two of us live in peace as soon as possible.
And all I could think of at the time was the man I met at the mass grave.
Am I really going to go to him?
