Chapter 14: The River God Soldier Arrives
The quilt was red, and blood was everywhere, and Grandma's head and body were separated.
The incision in the neck was neat, as if it had been cut by a guillotine.
I can't accept and I can't believe that the person who was talking to me just now has become like this.
"It's... This... This..."
"Woo, grandma..."
My legs went limp, and I collapsed directly to the ground.
Sun Blind came in from outside, he seemed to have expected this to be the case, and he was not surprised, but said to me very calmly.
"Peace, your grandmother traded her life for your life."
"Huh?" I muttered, not understanding the meaning, "What do you mean?" ”
Sun Blind said: "Do you still remember what your daughter-in-law said when you were in the mass grave, one life for another, that is, to exchange her own life for your life." ”
I tried to remember, and then I vaguely remembered that there was indeed such a thing.
"It's her!"
At the time, I didn't think much about it, only one thought, the murderer was the "ghost" in the mass grave.
What daughter-in-law, what marriage contract, what life-saving grace, at that moment I left it all behind, I didn't care about anything, I just wanted to avenge my grandmother.
No matter what kind of thing she is, she killed her grandmother, and even her head fell off, I must avenge this revenge, and I must dig him out and kill him.
I staggered up from the ground, grabbed the kitchen knife next to me, and stumbled out to get revenge.
"Why are you going?!" Sun Blind grabbed me.
I cried and said, "I'm going to avenge my grandmother by killing that thing in the mass grave." ”
Sun Blind said: "Nonsense! ”
He snatched the kitchen knife from my hand and threw it in a corner.
"Don't you know why your grandmother died? She's for you, she begged someone to save you, and this is the price, is it possible that you think it's so simple to suppress the corpse and save you, so it's no wonder that people, if you kid dare to make a mistake, your grandmother can say, let me beat you with a cane! ”
Where did I listen to these words at the time, my grandmother was all I had, and she died so miserably now, my heart was completely filled with hatred, and I had to take revenge.
"I don't listen! I don't believe it! ”
The blind man shouted at me: "You don't believe it, your father and mother were the same back then!" ”
When he said this, his whole body trembled!
I was shocked in my heart, stunned for a moment, quieted down, looked at Sun Blind and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
"Back then, your father and mother committed a taboo, I believe you have also heard about it, your father died, why did your mother live so long and give birth to you safely, don't you think it's strange?"
looked at Sun Blind in a daze, waiting for him to continue.
Blind Sun paused, breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a quieter voice: "Your father had an accident in the Wenshui River, and the corpse collectors did not find the body, in fact, because he did not die in the Wenshui River, but died at home. At that time, because of saving your mother and saving you in her belly, your grandmother begged the one in the mass grave, and the price was that your father's corpse was divided, and your grandmother lost a finger. ”
I've never heard of such a statement.
Others say that my father and mother ate human flesh and did evil, and my father was accepted by Wenshui River, but now what Sun Blind said is really too different.
"You... How do you know? I asked.
Sun Blind said in a deep voice: "I also accompanied your grandmother back then. ”
"But..."
My mind was in turmoil, and I didn't know what to do.
The affairs of our whole family have something to do with that thing in the mass grave, what is she, the so-called price, is it not her selfishness, not her conspiracy?
"Okay, Ping'an, don't do it, your grandmother won't harm you, it's almost time now, you quickly put on the red makeup you have prepared, hug your grandmother's head, go to the mass grave, and marry your daughter-in-law."
After speaking, he instructed: "Your grandmother asked me to tell you that now that she is gone, your only relative is your daughter-in-law, no matter what, she also recognized you, about the river god's request for military orders, she should help you, you don't have to worry." ”
Sun Blind urged me and helped me change into a red dress.
But at that time, I felt very awkward, and I felt inexplicably that this was against ethics.
Grandma just died, she should wear white and filial piety, how can she wear red? And it's still going to get married, this red and white thing is a big deal, it's too taboo, I'm afraid there will be bad things.
"Ping, don't let your grandma die in vain!"
I nodded, wiped away my tears, and didn't speak, but I had a plan of my own.
When I go to a mass grave, the most important thing is not to marry her, but to ask what happened to my grandmother's death, as well as what happened to my father and mother back then, I must ask her to give me an explanation, otherwise I will dig her out.
There was nothing terrible about the corpse, but a head, a head stained with blood, and it was my grandmother's, I held it in my arms, and my hands trembled all the time, both scared and distressed.
Sun Blind said to me: "Ping'an, I can only pave the way for you in this matter, I can't go, you be careful all the way, remember, don't offend her, don't let your grandmother die in vain." ”
I nodded and didn't speak.
In this way, I left the house dressed in red, holding my bloody head in my hands, crying in grief.
When I came out of my house, I had just walked a distance of more than ten meters, and I suddenly heard the screams of a blind man from behind, as if I was frightened by something.
I have experienced a lot of things, I don't dare to be careless, Sun is blind in my house, nothing can happen.
"Blind Sun, what's wrong?" I quickly turned back.
As soon as he arrived at the gate, a figure suddenly ran out of the house.
When I saw who it was, I immediately got goosebumps, and the whole person was stupid, and my head was blank, and my grandmother's head almost came out of my hand.
"... ..."
It was none other than my grandmother.
Grandma without a head.
A headless person, the wound of the severed head is still bleeding faintly, obviously he is already dead, and he is still running like a normal person, this kind of scene can really scare people to death.
And "grandma" also struck a strange pose.
She raised her hands in the air, holding an object, which was a turtle shell, that is, the river god's military order.
He paused in front of me for a moment, as if to make it clear that the river god had asked for an order, and then quickly bypassed me and ran away from home.
When it ran away, I came back to my senses, glanced in the direction of running, and went back to look at Sun Blind first.
Sun Blind fell in the courtyard, his body convulsed, as if something had happened.
"Sun is blind." I went over and helped him up, "Are you alright, that's... What's going on with my grandma? ”
Half-squinting and looking confused, he reached out and pointed in the direction of the gate, saying, "Don't... Don't let her out, something will happen like that..."
Speaking of which, grandma running out like this can scare people to death.
I didn't care about crying, let alone getting married, so I quickly helped my blind grandson to find a place to sit down, and then chased out, trying to chase my grandmother's body back.
Of course, I was also scared in my heart, but after all, it was my grandmother, and I always believed that no matter what, she would not hurt me.
Grandma's body was bloody, and there were blood stains everywhere she ran, and although I couldn't see where it was going, I followed the blood trails.
chased all the way, and unconsciously came to the Wenshui River.
Not in the direction of the Wenshui River Bridge, but in another direction.
In the end, the bloodstains disappeared by the river, as if I had entered the river, but in the middle of the night, I didn't know much about the river, so I didn't dare to go into the water to find it.
I searched the river for a while, but found no trace, and thought about going back first.
Turning to leave, there was a chill under his feet.
It's water.
My shoes are soaked.
Looking down, I was on the shore just now, but I saw myself standing in the water.
I was startled and subconsciously ran ahead, wanting to go ashore.
But after running two steps, I found that it was still water, and there was no shore in front of me, only endless water.
Looking back, it's still water, not shore.
Looking around, there was water all around, and I was in the middle of the river now, and the water was getting deeper and deeper under my feet, and it began to rise, from my feet to my ankles.
Suddenly, a dark figure appeared in front of me, a headless figure.
"Grandma!"
It still maintained the same way it was just now, holding the river god in both hands to ask for military orders.
I don't know where another tune came from.
"The river god points the troops, points to the fifth watch, the fifth watch rooster crows, and my soldiers arrive."
This is my mother's voice, but I can't see where she is.
In the darkness, I was alone in the water, with nowhere to run, and who was still rising rapidly, and would soon be able to drown me. In front of me, my grandmother was holding my "life-urging talisman", and I was still listening to the "life-urging song" sung by my mother.
I panicked at the time, and thought of what Mr. Liu said, the river god ordered soldiers on the fifth watch, and I must have died on the fifth watch, and this river god is the king of Hades.
Overwhelmed, he began to shout for help, calling for help while running.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
As I cried for help, the sound of water waves sounded around me, completely overpowering my voice.
After that, I started to run towards a place, but no matter how I ran, I couldn't see the shore, I could only be in the water.
I was so frightened that I ran to my headless grandmother and shouted at her, "Grandma, you love me the most, don't kill me!" ”
snatched the turtle shell that grandma was holding in her hand and threw it out, not wanting to see this bad thing again.
Suddenly, where the turtle shell fell, a huge column of water emerged and rushed straight up, almost seven or eight meters high, making a "gurgling" sound.
Mixed with the sound of water, a sound came from under the water.
"The soldier arrives, and he dies!"
The surface of the water began to change, forming a huge swirl, and between the rotations, something popped up.
I was so shocked that I exclaimed, "River God?!" ”
