Chapter 8 Old Cow and Young Grass
Then, the yin wind washes the face.
I thought he would bump into me, but I didn't expect that I only felt a cold and bone-chilling wind rushing towards me, and my whole body shivered, and I didn't feel cold sweat on my back. When he turned back, he had reached the door of his grandfather's house.
I knew that if I let this man into my grandfather's house, he would not survive nine times out of ten. I tried to stop him, but my voice was choked in my throat and I couldn't get it out.
"Lin Tianjian's soul is small, the yang pass is misty, this road is over, the yin road is long, don't go at this time, let alone when to ......"
The merchant's voice was faint, as if it had come from the depths of the earth, and the scalp was numb and the head was dizzy, and he was a little unsteady on his feet.
He didn't move, and the door of my grandfather's house creaked open, and the room was pitch black, and I don't know what happened to my grandfather at this time.
However, after the merchant stood at the door and shouted a few times, there was no movement in the house.
Grandpa didn't come out.
He seemed to be a little puzzled, and then snorted coldly, and said: "In the middle of the sun, why be nostalgic, the king of Hades let you die in the third watch, I see who dares to keep you until the fifth watch!" ”
After saying that, he walked towards my grandfather's house, and he didn't even know where to pull out a black iron chain hook from his hand. I've heard my grandfather say before that ghosts hook souls, black iron chains hook through collarbones, and no matter how great the human soul is, it can't resist.
I didn't know whether it was true or false before, but when I saw this situation now, I realized that what my grandfather said was not a nonsense to amuse children, what he said was all true.
Seeing that my grandfather was about to be taken away, I was so anxious.
However, I couldn't move at the moment.
Just when I was in despair, I heard a loud bang in the room, as if something had fallen to the ground. With a crisp sound, the merchant looked down and said to himself: "It's interesting, I can't imagine such a dirty thing, there are Taoist priests who intervene to help the abuse, it's really bold!" ”
I thought that the merchant would continue to arrest my grandfather, but unexpectedly, his steps stopped and hesitated.
Then, he gritted his teeth and withdrew from the house.
Glancing at me, the corners of his mouth tore a weird smile, and said, "Young man, since there is no water in your house today, I won't bother, I'll go to another house to see if I can get water to drink!" ”
With that, he turned around and left.
When he went outside and took up the pick, he turned around and said: "Young man, don't think that I will be afraid of you if I get a lightning strike wood from the door, I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out today, it is not appropriate to make a move, it is your grandfather's luck, I will come again another day!" The reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, limited to twenty-nine, your grandfather did something he shouldn't have done, and no one could protect him from carrying twenty-nine! ”
After saying that, he picked the pick and left.
The burden was heavy on his shoulders, but there was not the slightest sound of footsteps under his feet.
When I couldn't see the figure of the merchant, the whole person could move, and my legs were a little weak. I gasped for breath and hurried over to bolt the door tightly, and at the same time, I also saw that two pools of dirty blood had leaked from the place where the merchant had placed the pick.
It's certainly not a good thing in his pick.
After fastening the door, I immediately went to my grandfather's house, who was still unconscious, and did not seem to have changed, so I picked up the ring ruler and put it on his bedside table.
I was thinking, why did the merchant suddenly give up arresting my grandfather when he saw this ring ruler?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard someone shouting outside.
I immediately became vigilant.
"Yiwa, open the door!"
This is the sound of cow rhubarb.
After closing the door of my grandfather's house, I walked lightly to the gate, and looked out through the crack in the door, it was indeed Niu Rhubarb, carrying his medicine box.
"Yiwa, hurry up, open the door, I have something important. Did you hear the sound of rattles in the village just now, did the merchant come to your house? ”
Niu Rhubarb is here to tell me about this, I think he is definitely not fake, and I have no master now, I don't know who to talk to except Niu Rhubarb about this.
The opener Niu Rhubarb asked me, did the merchant come?
When I said come, Niu Rhubarb was so frightened that his face changed color, and he said, "Is he really here?" Gone to the ball! How is your grandfather now? ”
While going to the house, I told Niu Da Rhubarb about what had just happened, and said that the merchant saw the ring ruler and suddenly left again. I also asked Niu Rhubarb, who is the merchant, Niu Rhubarb sighed for a while, and said: "I don't know who the merchant is, I asked your grandfather, and he said that it seems to be below!" ”
"Down? Hades? I asked.
"I don't know, I don't understand this." Niu Dahuang paused, went to the house to see my grandfather's situation, and his face became very solemn. He said that the effect of his black pill was getting less and less effective for my grandfather, and my grandfather had already appeared corpse spots on his body, and the situation could be described as extremely serious. Moreover, if the merchant comes once and doesn't succeed, he will definitely come a second time, and the Taoist priest's things can stop the merchant once, but he definitely can't stop the second time.
I asked why, Niu Rhubarb said that it was the rule of the Daomen, and he couldn't say for sure.
After saying that, the rhubarb suddenly fell silent again, he filled a bag of cigarettes and smoked deeply. While pumping, he sighed, as if something was difficult to decide.
"Grandpa Niu, what's wrong?" I asked.
"Yiwa, seriously, do you want your grandfather to come back to life?" Niu Rhubarb took a deep puff, knocked the cigarette ash on the ground again, and asked me with a very solemn expression.
This is just nonsense, I didn't even think about it, and just said: "Of course, you have a way, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”
Niu Rhubarb sighed again, and was not ready to explain.
Then, he said, "Okay, then you can go to Dongwa Village now!" ”
Dongwa Village is the neighboring village of our Laojieling Village, which is in the east, close to the mouth of Laojiezigou, about seven or eight miles away from us. The lame horse, who died mysteriously a few days ago, lives in Dongwa Village. I really can't figure out what Niu Rhubarb means by suddenly letting me go to Dongwa Village.
I looked at Niu Da Huang blankly and asked, "What are you doing in Dongwa Village now?" ”
"Find your grandma!"
Niu Da Huang's words shocked me so much that my jaw almost fell to the ground. Everyone knows that my grandfather is an old fairy, with five disadvantages and three shortcomings, and he has committed only one shortage, and he is single, how can I still have a grandmother?
Seeing that I didn't speak, Niu Rhubarb took another puff of cigarette pouch and said, "What's the matter, don't you believe you still have a grandmother?" Your grandfather was very handsome when he was young, and in the troupe back then, he was a white-faced boy who picked up the beams, and he liked his yellow flower girl, and the entrance of the village was lined up to the end of the village, and each one was more handsome than the other! ”
It's not that I don't believe it, but it's too much of a surprise, and my grandfather never mentioned it to me.
Later, Niu Dahuang told me that my grandmother's name was Wang Qinghua, and the people in Dongwa Village called her Wang Shenpo. I have heard of the old fairy Ma Cripple in Dongwa Village, and naturally I have also heard of this Wang Shenwei. In a hurry to save my grandfather, I didn't care about thinking so much, so I rushed there overnight.
Of course, the rhubarb at home helped me watch my grandfather.
There are seven or eight miles to Dawa Village, I rode a bicycle, and it didn't take long to find Wang Shenpo's house. It's a long way from our village, so I haven't been here before.
Under the big willow tree, the blue brick is a quaint tiled house.
The high gatehouse, shrouded in the night, can be vaguely seen, the glazed tiles on the door are inlaid with three words "Wang's Zhai", there are traces of vicissitudes.
This building, the ancient style is very strong, it should be an ancient house for some years, I never thought that there is such a place in Dawa Village, but it is also a little surprising.
I went over and knocked on the door, and for a moment someone inside asked, "Who?" ”
"I ...... It's from Laojieling Village, I'm looking for Wang Shenpo, there's something urgent! ”
I replied, and then the mahogany door creaked open.
A middle-aged woman dressed in blue and white embroidery stood in the doorway and glanced at me. The street lights are dim, and I can't see her face clearly, but I can feel that she has a very special ancient temperament.
"Excuse me, auntie, I have something urgent and want to ask Mrs. Wang for help!" I spoke directly, really worried about my grandfather's situation. Only the dead will have corpse spots on their bodies, and I don't know if my grandfather can still be saved.
"Please in the house!"
I let out a sigh and followed her into the house.
She made me tea, and by the light, I looked at her and felt that she was in her forties, but I was not sure. Goddess Wang is my grandmother, she lives in the house of Goddess Wang, is it my aunt?
Of course, I didn't dare to call her rashly, grandpa's matter was urgent, so I said: "I'm really embarrassed, can you help me invite the princess, I'm looking for her, there is really something important, I can't wait!" ”
The woman stopped what she was doing, looked at me, and said, "No need to ask, I just, if you have anything to say, you can help, I won't shirk!" ”
Her words made me a little stunned, this blue and white embroidered cheongsam woman with excellent temperament, but she looked like she was about forty-five years old, and she turned out to be the goddess Wang? In my impression, shouldn't the goddesses all be the kind of sloppy old women? Also, Niu Da Huang said that Mrs. Wang is my grandmother, and my grandmother is so young?
Grandpa, it was an old cow eating tender grass?
Seeing that I didn't speak, Mrs. Wang put the teacup in front of me and said, "Why, don't you believe I can help you?" ”
"Believe, I believe!" Now I have no one to look for except to believe her, so I told the ins and outs of the matter to Mrs. Wang.
However, who knew that as soon as she heard that it was Lin Tianjian's matter, as soon as the teacup was closed, she pushed me out of the door. In desperation, I called out to her: "Grandma! ”
Of course, this is also what Niu Da Huang taught me, he said, if the Wang Shenpo does not agree, let me call her grandma, anyway, she is my grandmother, there is nothing wrong. As long as I shout, this goddess Wang will definitely help when she sees her eldest grandson. However, the result was not at all what Niu Rhubarb said, and I shouted out.
The door opened, but a teacup flew out of it.
The tea is not hot, but it is very strong, steady and ruthless.
I didn't have time to dodge, my face was swollen and smashed, and it hurt hotly.
"Lin Tianjian's life and death, what does it have to do with the old lady! If you shout nonsense again, beware of the old lady cutting out your tongue! "This is completely similar to what I saw just now, an ancient woman wearing a blue and white embroidered cheongsam.
Immediately after that, there was the sound of the door bolting from the inside, and I really wanted to cry without tears. I can feel the deep resentment of Mrs. Wang, and I don't know what my grandfather did to be sorry for her back then, so that she can have such a big resentment?
According to this situation, it is enough for Mrs. Wang to strangle my grandfather with her own hands, and it is completely impossible to ask Mrs. Wang to help save my grandfather!
I finally understood why my grandmother didn't tell me about the rhubarb at the beginning.
This trip, I'm afraid it will be in vain.
After waiting for a while, I didn't see Mrs. Wang change her mind, thinking that it was completely out of play, so I died and returned the same way. However, as soon as he took a few steps, there was an inexplicable fog under the crooked-necked old willow tree in front of him.
