Chapter 255: Three Fires

The two grandfathers, both of whom are flesh and blood, don't look like people in the slightest, and don't show any signs of shady things, just the one outside wearing longevity shoes and the walking dead, while the one at home looks much more normal.

After sitting for a while, my body trembling with panic finally stabilized a little, and my buzzing head finally regained some of its ability to function.

I never thought that one day I would encounter such a strange thing, a "grandfather" appeared at Pan Changhong's house like a walking corpse in the middle of the night, and asked me to send him back, but when he arrived at the door, he asked me to come back first.

When I got home, another "grandfather" came out of the room, saying that he was a little restless and couldn't sleep, and asked me to talk to him.

Fortunately, the patience of this "grandfather" at home seems to be much better than that outside, I went back to the room after I agreed, and did not come to urge me again, so that I got a little time to calm my mind, otherwise I am afraid that I would have been unable to hold back just now.

Obviously, one of the two grandfathers must be fake, but which one is fake?

The little yellow dog "Huanhuan" happily circled and chased after his tail at his feet, raised his head from time to time, and glanced at me slowly, obviously not realizing that there was a huge crisis lurking in the house, and did not find the slightest abnormality. In my parents' bedroom across the living room, there was no movement, as if my mother was asleep and didn't hear me come home.

"What the hell is going on...... This is a sign that the old wizard's warning is beginning to be fulfilled, that man is about to come out of the shadows and has begun to move on me? "Touching the little yellow dog's head to signal it to calm down, my mind was running.

I thought that this person who made the old wizard extremely jealous and even scared would be very difficult to deal with, but I didn't expect it to be such a difficult opponent, and as soon as I made a move, I was stunned, and the preparations made in the past few days seemed to have lost their effect and were completely useless.

Wearing shou shoes, his body is stiff and cold like ice, without the slightest breath of a living person......

Five minutes later, I opened the door lightly, glanced at my grandfather's door, which still had light coming out of the cracks, and gently touched the outside, trying not to make any noise as much as possible.

Fortunately, the little yellow dog is small, but it is quite spiritual, and the whole process is just squatting in the room, curiously watching me open the door like a thief, and closing the door little by little, obediently without making any sound.

Before I go into Grandpa's room, I have to make sure that the walking dead Grandpa is still there.

By now, I don't know what my own mentality is, it seems that I hope that the "grandfather" outside is no longer there, and it is just an illusion to follow him all the way home, but on the other hand, it seems that I hope that he is still here.

With conflicted and complicated feelings, I felt out of the living room lightly, and when I was about to go downstairs, I suddenly thought of the words of the "grandfather" outside and asked me to come back first, so I turned around and looked out along the window of the stairwell.

However, just this glance, I saw that my scalp was numb, and I felt that my heart was about to jump out.

Really...... Really back!

I saw a dark figure, standing on the concrete floor outside the gate, not for me to go back first, the "grandfather" who came back by himself later, who else could it be?

And at the moment when I looked out through the window glass, the "grandfather" outside the door, as if sensing something, raised his head mechanically, and glanced at my position, the two eyes were lifeless, not the slightest bit of life, like two black holes.

I didn't have the courage to look at him again, like a thief being discovered, I hurriedly retreated into the living room with curtains covering the glass, my heart beating violently, and I didn't dare to come out.

Sure enough, it's back......

What now?

My heart began to beat violently, and a wave of great fear that had never been felt before began to rush towards me from all directions, like mountains, as if to squeeze me into powder.

One at home, one outside the door, now I don't dare to go out and look downstairs again, the curtains covering the windows, at this time are like an indestructible copper wall, and like a life-saving straw, providing me with a sense of security.

"Niannian, what's wrong with you? What to do here? Just when the vest was dripping with cold sweat and I didn't know what to do for a while, my grandfather's words full of concern sounded behind me without warning.

The voice was soft and kind, but to my ears it was like a terrible spell from hell, and it made me shudder!

I turned my head in horror, and saw that the "grandfather" at home had already left the bedroom at some point, walked past the coffee table, and came behind me, and the light coming from the room behind the door was also very dazzling.

I subconsciously shrunk my neck, like a prey exposed to the muzzle of a hunter, and subconsciously wanted to protect myself.

"What's wrong with you, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that my face was completely wrong, "Grandpa" asked with concern.

"No, it's good, I just feel a little cold." Strongheart calmed my mind, I quickly shook my head and said, thought about it, and asked cautiously: "Grandpa, grandpa...... When did you open the door and come out? ”

"I just heard that you seem to be coming out of the door, what's wrong?" Scratching his head a little dazedly, this "grandfather" said puzzledly.

I hurriedly said "oh", although I didn't say anything, but my heart was already suspicious.

Since that illness, my grandfather has not only become confused from time to time, but his vision and hearing have inevitably been affected slightly, and it stands to reason that even if he is waiting for me, he should not have such good hearing.

You know, from the time I came home to the present, my mother, who has always been easy to wake up when she sleeps, has not been woken up by me......

"What the hell is going on with you doll? In a panic, I asked you if you didn't say it, was it windy and frozen on the way back? It looks like it's going to snow for the next two days, and it hasn't snowed this year, so it's time to go. Zhenghu was hesitant, and the "grandfather" at home spoke with a concerned face again, and the usual look of confusion on his face also dissipated a lot because of my wrongness.

As he spoke, he walked over to me, and when I came back to my senses a little and subconsciously tried to dodge, a rough and warm broad palm had already pressed against my head.

"It's a little cold, it should be cold, but I don't have a fever, it's not a big problem, do you want to drink some ginger boiled water? In the evening, your mother cooks it, it's on the stove, and grandpa goes to get it for you. ”

Listening to the kind words and feeling the warmth from the palm of this calloused hand, my tense muscles suddenly gradually relaxed, and the vigilance of this "grandfather" began to decline, no longer resisting, and letting this palm convey warmth to me.

"Look at you, it's really cold, if you don't get it right, you're really going to catch a cold and fever, wait for grandpa to bring you some ginger boiling water." Seeing that my expression was a little dazed, probably frozen and confused, grandpa didn't say anything more, withdrew his hand and patted me on the top of the head twice with a kind face, and then went downstairs to get ginger boiling water.

Seeing that he was about to walk out of the door of the living room, I woke up suddenly, and hurriedly grabbed him and said: "Don't go grandpa, I'm fine, just sleep at most, if you want to drink, I'll get it myself, you have bad legs, don't run upstairs and downstairs." ”

Now there is a "grandfather" outside the gate, and I am afraid that he has even entered the yard, in case this grandfather goes down to see it, and the two grandfathers meet together, I really don't know what will happen.

Until the problem is resolved, I don't dare to let this happen.

"Really?" Grandpa turned around and asked, and as he spoke, he raised his warm hand and touched my head to test the temperature.

"No, if you want to drink, I'll just get it myself, how can I ask grandpa to help me get it." When he took his hand away, I said with a smile.

"Okay, don't do it, then go to bed quickly." Seeing that I finally smiled, my grandfather stopped insisting.

"Well, grandpa, go to sleep first, it's so cold, don't get up for too long, I'll change my shoes and wash my feet."

When my grandfather returned to the bedroom, I went into my room and started to change my slippers.

By now, the situation has become clearer, and I think I have a preliminary answer in my heart as to which grandfather is real.

I didn't try to see if the "grandpa" outside the door downstairs had already entered the yard, but when I went out of the living room and passed by the stairwell, when the vest was itching uncomfortably, I forcibly held back and didn't look out the window.

At this point, I can only hope that my dad will delay a little longer at Pan Changhong's house and not come back until the matter is resolved.

I went to the bathroom at the corner of the stairwell, washed my feet with hot water, washed my face, and let the hot heat stimulate my brain to be a little more awake, and after returning to the room for two minutes, I turned off the light and pushed open the door of my grandfather's bedroom.

Grandpa was really still waiting for me, leaning on the head of the bed, holding reading glasses, holding this "Zizhi Tongjian" to read.

When he saw me come in, Grandpa put down the heavy book, took off his reading glasses, sat up straight, and patted the empty space next to him.

"Come on, it's hot under the covers."

I shook my head with a soft smile and said, "Grandpa, why don't you go to sleep first, I still have some things to deal with." ”

"It's the middle of the night, what else can I do now? It's cold outside, even if you have something, can't you do it tomorrow? Grandpa scratched his head and asked puzzled.

I said, it's not too important, it's just outside, and it won't go far.

"Since it doesn't matter, let's do it tomorrow, it's getting late, it's windy outside, and you're cold again, just listen to grandpa, and talk about everything tomorrow." As if afraid that I would not agree, my grandfather lifted the quilt and got out of bed, pulled his shoes and walked over to me, and sat down on the edge of the bed by my shoulder.

After thinking about it for a while, I stopped insisting and sat down honestly.

As I was talking, my grandfather gently pressed the top of my head a few times with his rough and warm hand, and then touched my head again.

"Huh? How did you start to get a little hot? After trying it a few times, Grandpa frowned and said.

It's good to have a grandfather, although he is already a little confused, but the instinct to care about the junior is still there, feeling the warmth from the palm, I smiled lightly and said: "It's okay grandpa, I washed my face with hot water just now, so the temperature is a little high, and there is no fever." ”

"Oh~ That's it, then since it's okay, let's go to bed quickly." As he spoke, Grandpa gently patted me on the left shoulder twice, signaling me to stop sitting and take off my clothes and go to bed.

When I took off my down jacket and helped me take it and put it aside, my grandfather's hand fell on my right shoulder.

"Grandpa, don't you ask, do I have something to deal with suddenly?" I raised my left hand and scratched my itchy right shoulder, just enough to keep his hand out of my shoulder, and laughed.

In the soft light, grandpa's expression seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then hung my down jacket on the hanger, and said: "Grandpa is old, and his brain often doesn't make decisions, even if he asks you to tell grandpa, grandpa doesn't have the ability to help you, and if you don't get it right, it will cause you trouble, so grandpa has already figured it out, if you don't say it in the future, grandpa won't ask." ”

"Okay...... "Seeing that grandpa didn't want to ask more, I won't say more."

After he helped me hang up my clothes, climbed into the bed and lay down under the quilt, and gave me most of the space, he asked with a smile: "Grandpa, you said something to us when I was a child, and I still remember it very clearly, do you know which sentence it was?" ”

Grandpa was stunned, and then sighed: "Grandpa is old, where do you remember so much, what are the words?" ”

I looked at him and smiled, and said, "That was one time, when the eldest sister came back from visiting the door at night, and after encountering unclean things, grandpa, you called us all together and said, you told us: There are three fires on the human body, one on the head and two on the shoulder, and the one on the head is called the divine fire, which means the protection of the gods, and the two on the shoulder illuminate the whole body, so that the evil demons dare not infringe." The better the body, the more vigorous the fire, the more afraid the demons will not be close, on the contrary, if the body is not good, the three fires will be empty, and people are easy to see unclean things, and the more empty the fire, the easier it is to be violated by the demons. ”

After a pause, I said, "In addition, grandpa, you also told us that because people need to rely on these three fires to ward off evil spirits, it is best for our children not to wear hats when they go out at night, because they will suppress the divine fire above their heads, and when they hear any movement behind them, or if someone is calling themselves, don't turn their heads violently, because this will cause the three fires to become darker, and if you encounter something unclean, you will be blown out by the unclean thing, if you feel scared, scratch your head a few times, which will make the fire of the god fire on your head bigger." ”

Grandpa was slightly stunned, and after thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "It's true, the three fires are very important to people, you don't even remember grandpa." ”

"Grandpa, you tell us not to turn around casually at night and not to wear hats, but compared to these, there is a more important place for us to remember." I smiled slightly, and my nerves began to tighten.

"Where?" Grandpa scratched his head and asked.

I replied earnestly: "Grandpa, you told us: the three fires are the root of man's exorcism of evil things, so we must always remember that no one can touch the top of our head and shoulder at the same time, because if we meet a bad person, the bad person will take the opportunity to extinguish our three fires." ”
