Halfway through the conversation, I was about to ask, but my grandmother stopped drinking.

"Okay, it's not early, don't talk nonsense first, let's go."

Sun Blind nodded and didn't say anything more, and his feet sped up.

I followed them closely and arrived at the mass grave full of doubts.

The silence of the mass grave was terrible, there was no movement at all, and I couldn't feel the wind, but it made me feel cold, and I felt inexplicably uneasy, and I always felt that something was staring at me.

Fortunately, the moonlight illuminates and you can see the road on the ground clearly, so that you can't tell the direction.

Finally, we stopped in front of a dead tree in the depths of a mass grave.

"Grandma..."

Before I could say anything, my grandmother glared back at me, meaning to tell me to shut up.

Immediately, she took out a knife from her bosom, and without saying a word, wiped it vigorously on her hand.

The knife fell to the ground with a piece of flesh.

"What are you doing?!"

I rushed up and looked at the bloody hand, my whole heart clenched, and tears fell instantly.

Grandma squeezed out a smile at me and said, "Ping'an, remember what I said to you before I came, don't care what I do, you go to the back first, obedient." ”

Blind Sun also helped to hold me.

At this time, my grandmother said softly: "When I left that year, I once said, how to walk and how to come back, I gave you that finger, and now I cut the wound, which can be regarded as an apology to you for the previous faux pas." ”

Finger?

Grandma's severed finger?

It is rumored in the village that my mother bit off my grandmother's finger, but now it seems that this is probably not the case.

"My grandson has suffered again now, a sacrificial corpse has been fished out of the Wenshui River, and two innocent people have died because of this, I don't want him to be a water ghost, I can only come here to beg you."

Grandma said several words, but there was no response, and she didn't know who she was talking to.

"Peace, put the skeleton down." Grandma looked back at me.

I didn't ask too much, and walked over and placed the skull at my grandmother's feet.

Grandma put her bleeding hand on it, let the blood fall on the skull, and said: "My wife is one, and she doesn't have a few days to live, if you want to die, take me, and please save my grandson, after all, we are also fate." ”

Suddenly, there was a gust of wind in the calm mass grave, and a sound was heard in the wind.

"I want to save your grandson, I can only marry him, in this way, he may die faster, even if he can survive his fate, there will be a lot of trouble in the future, and he may not be able to be an ordinary person at all."

I looked around, looking for the source of the sound, but found nothing.

When grandma heard the response, she was pleasantly surprised: "I know, I know what you said." No matter what, peace follows you, I rest assured! ”

The voice reappeared.

"I still have two conditions, if you agree, I will also agree to your matter."

"You say."

"First, it's still the old rule, one life for another; Second, although I protect your grandson, I can only deter the sacrificial corpse, and you must deal with the sacrificial corpse in the way I say. ”

Grandma didn't think about it, and responded directly: "Okay, I agreed!" ”

"Then it will be done."

The fluttering sound died down, and the wind in the mass grave stopped.

Sun Blind looked at his grandmother and said in a deep voice: "Old woman, I hope your decision today is right." ”

Grandma ignored him and pulled me over, "Peace, quick, kneel down and kowtow, thank you for saving you." ”

She herself knelt on the ground and kowtowed in thanks.

I didn't know what was going on, so I was knocked down three times.

Immediately, the blind man said to me again, "Peace, put the red hijab on your hand on the ground." ”

"Uh-huh."

Strange things happen.

I put the red hijab on the ground, and there was no wind around me, and the hijab flew backwards on its own.

It's like I'm afraid of something.

When I saw that it was about to fly away, I grabbed it, but as long as I let go, it still flew up.

"Blind Sun, I'll work for you next." Grandma stood up on crutches.

The blind man didn't speak, only nodded, and took out a brush from his arms, the pen was messy, and the root of the pen was not straight, as if he had found materials to tie it.

He grinned at me, as if smiling, and sighed, "It's a pity for this good thing." ”

His hand did not stop, his big hand pressed the red hijab, and the other hand grabbed the brush, and violently inserted the red hijab into the ground.

This time, the red hijab stopped flying and returned to normal.

I was curious and asked, "What is this?" ”

"You'll find out another day, I shouldn't tell you about this thing." Sun Blind replied.

Grandma bowed deeply to the front again, did not say anything more, and then beckoned us to leave.

I had just walked a few steps when I heard the same voice again.

"You can go to the town to find a drunkard surnamed Qi, he knows the way to suppress the corpse, just tell him the truth, and he will naturally help you."

"Seven days later, let Chen... Peace and bring things and come here to bow to me. ”

Grandma quietly heard about it, and after another thanks, she left.

Out of the mass grave, I glanced back to make sure nothing was following, and then asked what was going on tonight.

Sun Blind rarely didn't frolic, and reprimanded me: "You know how to ask, and you don't care about your grandmother, she still has blood on her hands?" ”

"I'm fine."

Grandma took out a cloth towel and wrapped it around her hand.

A piece of flesh was cut off her hand, and the blood that had been left for so long, plus that she was old, was obviously a little unable to support it.

I walked with Sun Blind with her.

This time, I didn't need to ask, while walking, my grandmother told me: "Ping'an, just now in that place, there is a special person, she has a relationship with our family, and I will go tonight to tell her to be your daughter-in-law." ”

Person?

Still buried?

Can it be a living person?

This one sacrifice corpse hasn't been figured out yet, and another one?

I stopped and shouted angrily, "How old am I, you can find me a daughter-in-law." In addition, you are my own grandmother, even if you find me a daughter-in-law, you should find a normal one. Buried? Another dead man, right? ”

"Peace."

Grandma frowned.

"The one I found for you is indeed not a normal person, but she is definitely not an evil thing like a corpse, can grandma still harm you?"

I still wanted to get angry, but seeing my grandmother's weak appearance, I couldn't bear to say anything.

"But... Can... Do you know what she is? ”

"I don't know what she is, but I'm sure she can protect you." ”

At this time, Sun Blind interjected next to him and asked, "Actually, I'm also curious, why do you have to do this, and you can think of other ways." ”

Grandma shook her head, as if she was free in her heart, but she didn't explain it.

When we got home, the corpse at the door was still the same as when we left, and there was no change.

Sun Blind kicked with his foot, and said in a strange way: "It's a pity that such a good girl, how did she become a sacrificial corpse?" ”

"It's all fate, who wants to?"

Grandma sighed, and thanked Sun Blind again: "I let you lose a good thing today, even if it is an old wife, I owe you, my family has nothing of value to pay you back, and you don't have any relatives, just wait for you to be a hundred years later, let Ping An give you filial piety." ”

Sun Blind shook his head and smiled: "I don't need it, the people of your Chen family give me Dai Xiao, it's really a joke." Although that thing is precious, it is enough to be worthy of the favor of the year, and we will not owe each other this time. ”

He also didn't give his grandmother a chance to speak again.

"Okay, you go back and rest, as for the drunkard surnamed Qi in the town she said, I'll go and inquire tomorrow, and I'll come back and tell you if I have news."

With that, turn around and leave.

When the blind son left, I helped my grandmother into the house and bandaged her wounds with medicine.

"Grandma, I haven't heard you say it before, Sun Blind still owes our family a favor."

Grandma said: "Hehe, his life is not good, he lost his relatives in the early years, and he suffered again, he jumped into the river without thinking about it, and it was your grandfather who saved him." ”

"It's strange to say, after he was rescued by your grandfather, he was inexplicably blind within a few days, and he began to become a god."

It turned out that it involved grandpa, no wonder I hadn't heard grandma mention it.

"What's that pen? It looks like a baby. I asked again.

"That's a real baby, a pen made of the heart of a hundred-year-old locust tree and a wolf with spirituality, and only with this kind of pen that can communicate yin and yang, can you write the marriage ceremony of the two of you."

I didn't quite understand the value, but I nodded my head and said I knew.

Immediately, he took the opportunity to ask: "Grandma, there are no outsiders now, and I am not a child anymore, can you tell me why I have to go to the mass grave to find my daughter-in-law?" ”

Grandma sighed twice and was silent for a long time before she spoke up to me.

"The daughter-in-law I found for you is not from the mass grave, she also came out of the river, and her ability is still very big, I have seen it with my own eyes, our Wenshui River can't fit her..."
