"Dad" Wang Xi stretched out his hand to stop the man and asked, "What happened?" ”

The man stopped, glanced at us, and finally stopped his gaze on Wang Xi, his face was happy, and then he sank again, and said, "Your grandmother is gone." ”

"Isn't Grandma lying in bed all the time? Why is it gone? Wang Xi asked urgently.

The man slowly opened his mouth and said, "I don't know, yesterday when I saw your grandmother's reaction, we turned out all her shrouds and pants, and stayed with her old man's bedside, waiting for the end, where do you know, I just went to the toilet, your mother went to someone else's house to borrow a dustpan, just seven or eight minutes, your grandma disappeared." ”

After speaking, the man didn't speak again, and ran towards the village in a hurry, shouting as he ran, "My old mother is gone, everyone come out and help find it." ”

As soon as he said this, more than 20 people ran out of the village, and followed the man to look for someone. Seeing this, I secretly praised in my heart, this village is so united, much more united than our village over there.

When Wang Xi saw that his father was looking for someone, he was not interested, so he led us in, asked Wang Chuyao to pour us three cups of sugar and boiled water, and prepared to find someone.

I grabbed him and asked, "Is your grandmother terminally ill and lying in bed all the time?" ”

He paused for a moment, nodded, and said: "Three years ago, grandma had chilblains on her buttocks, and I don't know what happened, the chilblains spread to the thighs, making grandma's feet lose the ability to walk, and grandma has been in bed for the past three years. ”

"If my legs and feet are inconvenient, how can I get out of bed and walk? It can't be a fall under the bed, right? Guo Fatzi took a sip of sugar boiling water.

I glared at him and said angrily, "If you fall under the bed, you can't see it." ”

As he spoke, he was about to ask Wang Xi some more questions, but he seemed to be very worried about his grandmother, said sorry to me, and ran towards the door, leaving me, Guo Fatzi, Stammer, and Wang Chuyao in the room.

After Wang Xi left, it was a little embarrassing for us to stay in the room with a girl.

So, I asked Wang Chuyao, "Where does your grandmother usually sleep, can you take us to see it?" ”

She nodded shyly, did not speak, led us to another room, this room is not very big, about a dozen squares, the light in the room is a little dim, the furnishings are very simple, two wooden beds, one is placed at the door, one is placed in the innermost, an old-fashioned red wardrobe, the wooden bed at the door of the bed at the head of the bed is placed a small table of eight immortals, the height of the bed is the same, and a set of shrouds and shoes are placed on it.

Because the light in the room was too dim and I couldn't see clearly, I asked Wang Chuyao to turn on the lights in the room, raised her eyes and looked in the room, and frowned.

The bed at the door, there was a faint smell of rancidity, the bed was stacked with a dark blue quilt cover, and a hole the size of two fists was ground out on it, which should have been grinded out by the old man's parents in bed for many years, and the rancid smell came from that position.

I put on a calm face and asked, "The old man's ass is rotten like this, didn't you take her to see it?" ”

Wang Chuyao seemed to think of something, sobbed in a low voice, and said: "I have seen it, three years ago, my parents prepared money to build a red brick house, and after my grandmother fell ill, my parents used the money to build a house on my grandmother, and ran to many hospitals, but I couldn't cure it, and then I ran out of money, so I took my grandmother back, and when I had money, I took my grandmother to see a doctor, but it was never cured, and the doctor said that my grandmother's chilblains were very strange, like a stubborn disease, which could not be cured, but could only be recuperated." In the past three years, in order to take care of grandma, my parents moved the bed to my grandmother's room, and my parents took my parents to the toilet when she shit and peed, and I don't know what happened, my grandmother's body is smelly, and her ass is rotten. ”

Hearing her say this, I couldn't help but glance at her a few more times, there is a custom over there that the guests of the hall should see the mother first, the mother is filial and obedient to the woman's way, and the daughter must be a good daughter-in-law; If you marry a husband, you have to look at three piles, and the pig fat dog is strong and bare. These three are all together, which means that the man has surplus grain at home, can fatten pigs and dogs, and the ground is clean and the ground is clean, that is, the man loves to be clean.

A filial person like Wang Chuyao's mother can be said to be rare in the place, there must be a mother and a daughter, presumably this Wang Chuyao is also a filial person, for filial people, I will always have a little affection for them inexplicably.

That Wang Chuyao seemed to notice my gaze, buried her head very low, and said, "Can you see anything?" ”

I paused for a moment, came back to my senses, waved away the thought in my head, and said, "According to the current situation, your grandmother obviously can't get out of bed, but now she has disappeared inexplicably, and there is only one possibility, she knows that she is going to die, and she will collect the footprints."

She raised her head, glanced at me suspiciously, and asked, "What are footprints?" ”

I bent down and glanced at the bottom of the bed, the shoes were gone, my guess should be correct, so I said to her: "Collecting footprints is our saying, a person before dying, the body will be recovered for a short time, let the old man do something unfinished, it is said that it is the wish of the old man, let it die smoothly, your grandmother has been lying in bed for three years, presumably she must have wanted to go out for a walk in her heart, so she will leave, it is estimated that after a while, she will go home." ”

Before Wang Chuyao could speak, Guo Fatzi first raised a question, and he said: "Brother Jiu, this is not right, I remember that you said before that you would return to the light, how is it a bit similar to this footprint." ”

I glanced at him, and Guo Fatzi's words were not unreasonable, so I explained to him, saying: "Returning to the light is a natural phenomenon, which has to be explained in the hospital, and this footprint, whether it is medicine or metaphysics, is inexplicable." Legend has it that collecting footprints is the reward of the deceased to the deceased, and this reward comes from the descendants of the deceased, as long as the filial piety of the descendants impresses the king of Hades, the deceased will get the opportunity to collect the footprints, so that he will be nostalgic for the place of his life again, seemingly casually walking, in fact, let the deceased avoid the reincarnation of the underworld, in this way, the deceased will not be rich or expensive in the next life, this kind of thing will only appear in the family of filial piety. ”

As soon as I finished speaking, I stammered and said urgently: "Brother Jiu, I am very filial to my parents, if my parents die one day, will they be rich or expensive in their next life?" ”

I nodded and said: "As the old saying goes, filial piety comes first, this 'filial piety' overshadows anything, many so-called good people in today's society do good deeds, no matter how much he pays, it is better to be filial to his parents, a person is filial, the whole family is filial, the whole family is filial, the world is filial, the world is filial, **** rich and strong." To be a man should be filial piety, which is beneficial to others and oneself. As long as your filial piety can impress the king of Hades, this footprint will naturally appear. ”
