Chapter 42: Grandma Hu
"Xiao Xia, why are you crying? Couldn't you be scared? ”
An An laughed at me as she took out a tissue from her bag to wipe my tears.
I wiped away my tears, shook my head, looked at the Ghost King Temple in the distance, and only felt that I should know that place.
"Why don't we go and see?"
"I don't." An An shook his head and said, "I've heard the legends there since I was a child, how dare I go in?" ”
"But I'd like to see it."
"Don't." An An was afraid that I would really go, so she took my hand and pulled it to the side, "I'll take you to other places and go." ”
I couldn't resist her, so I left the Ghost King Temple.
We wandered around the town for a long time, and when we got back to our home, we saw my grandmother coming out of it.
"Grandma, where are you going?"
Grandma said, "My godmother's daughter, suddenly went, I have to go and see." Now that you're back, let's go together! ”
Grandma was not in good health when she was a child, and the fortune teller said that she wanted to find a godmother, so she found the Hu family in the town.
However, Grandma Hu's life was not good, her son and daughter-in-law died, leaving only two unfilial grandsons.
When we got there, there were many people from the huge Hu family, but only one of the two grandsons came, known as Hu Sange.
"Grandma An, you are here, go this way."
The one who came out to greet him was an old man in his fifties and sixties, and everyone called him Village Chief Liang.
Because this town was a village at the earliest, the Liang family was the hereditary village chief and also contributed a lot to this town.
Although there is no longer the title of village chief, everyone still likes to call the village chief affectionately.
"Village Chief Liang, why did my sister Hu go like this?"
Village Chief Liang said, "Hu San said that when Grandma Hu went into the mountains to collect medicine, she encountered wild beasts. ”
"I said it, don't go into the mountains at such an age, she doesn't listen, the mountains haven't been peaceful recently, hey, my sister Hu!"
Grandma walked inside while she was sad, and the neighbors were helping to decorate the mourning hall.
Grandma Hu's body was placed in her room, and she could not be buried because there was no painted skin.
Hu Sange knelt on the side, I looked at the pale man who had been trembling, and suddenly remembered that I saw him last night when I was lying on the window watching the night view.
At that time, he was arguing about something on the road with a man who looked about the same as him, and then the man left.
I helped Grandma An to the room, and Grandma Hu's body was placed on Hu's bed, and the left half of Grandma Hu's face was scratched, the wound was very deep, and the flesh and blood were turned over, which was quite terrible.
When Grandma An saw it, she cried.
"My Sister Hu, why did you leave like this, but leave me alone, what should I do?"
Grandma cried very sadly, and An An and I comforted her for a long time before she took Village Chief Liang's hand and asked.
"Village Chief, can you find a leather painter? Sister Hu loved beauty the most in her life, and after her death, she will not rest in peace, you must find the best leather painter, any price, I have covered it. ”
The village chief said with some embarrassment, "It's not that I didn't look for it, it's that the family went out on a trip, and it will take more than ten days to come back, and I also went to ask about the village next door, and if I come over, it will take three days at the latest, it's too late!" ”
"What then? Can't let my sister go out of the funeral like this? I won't say yes. ”
Grandma's sudden stubbornness made An An look at me and said.
"Grandma, why don't you let Xiao Xia help Grandma Hu paint the skin! Her master is Li Banblind. ”
As soon as the three words Li Banblind came out, not only grandma, but even Village Chief Liang was shocked, and looked at me in unison, obviously, they had all heard of this name.
I'm a little baffled, is Li Banblind's reputation so big?
