Chapter 5: Joy and Sorrow
The old lady said to me with a serious face: "Old woman, please save Weiwei, and even if I beg you, don't break her body." ”
I was stunned, save Xiaowei? Break her body?
Isn't Xiaowei already dead, I can't do these two things at all.
However, the old lady did not explain it to me in detail, and after saying this, she limped out of the house while I was stunned.
When I came back to my senses and chased out to ask for an explanation, the old lady's shadow was gone.
I was amazed, how could an old man with inconvenient legs and feet walk so fast?
But I quickly understood that Xiaowei's grandmother was definitely not an ordinary person, or she acted unpredictably.
Then I thought that my grandfather's purpose for asking me to come was to prevent Xiaowei's grandmother from opening the red coffin, and now that everyone is gone, there is no need for me to continue to stay here.
Immediately, I went home, ready to tell my grandfather about it quickly, and ask him who Xiaowei's grandmother was.
However, when I got home, I found that what my grandfather had done was even stranger, and I was even more confused.
As soon as I got home, I saw that the walls of my house were covered with the words "Daxi" cut out of red paper, and red cloth was hung everywhere, just like a new house for marriage.
Grandpa was still busy at this time, and he cut out a lot of gold ingots, jewelry, and a bunch of other things out of yellow paper, which were burned to the dead at a glance.
I hurriedly asked my grandfather what he was doing, why did he decorate the house like this?
Grandpa raised his head, his brows tightened, and asked me why I came back so soon.
I immediately told me about the situation I encountered at Xiaowei's house, and my grandfather's face sank, and he said, "Since this is the case, then you can leave it alone, go and prepare, and you have to do business tonight." ”
I was stunned and asked my grandfather what to do?
Grandpa spit out three words with a serious face: "Do a happy funeral." ”
Joy and mourning?
I don't know why, what the joy and mourning are.
Grandpa casually threw a cut gold ingot into the basin on the side and explained: "Happy events and funerals are done together." ”
I don't understand, ask, for whom?
A look of helplessness appeared in Grandpa's eyes, and he said slowly: "Do a happy event for you, and a funeral for that Jiang Xiaowei." ”
What the?
I opened my mouth wide, these two things are inexplicable, what do I have to do happy things, with whom? The key is that it makes no sense to hold a funeral for Xiaowei.
Seeing that I was puzzled, my grandfather explained: "If you want to save your kid's life, you have to hurry up and do the happy event, I ordered you a baby kiss when I was a child, it's time for you to get married." ”
Doll pro? I don't know about this, and I've never heard my grandfather mention it.
Grandpa said that I was not sensible at that time, but he and the old man of the woman's family ordered it together, and as he spoke, grandpa took out a yellowed handkerchief from his arms and handed it to me.
I took it and looked at it, and found that it was a marriage book, and in addition to my name, there was also a strange woman's name on it: Ji Meimei.
I was suddenly unhappy, what age is this, and there is an arranged marriage, not to mention that what I have always liked in my heart is Xiaowei, and now Xiaowei's bones are not cold, so let me marry another woman, which makes me unacceptable.
So I refused immediately, and straightened my neck and said to my grandfather, I won't marry this kiss.
Grandpa unexpectedly did not scold me, but persuaded me with kind words: "Xiao Jiu, I know, you like that Wei girl, but she is not only dead, but also turned into a zombie, maybe she will harm you, as long as you become a relative, she will not come to you." ”
I said reluctantly: "Xiaowei's grandmother has said that she hasn't become a zombie at all, and I don't know what Ji Meimei is or what kind of relatives she becomes." ”
The name Ji Meimei is very unfamiliar, it shouldn't be someone from our area, take a step back, who knows what that Ji Meimei looks like, in case it's a big fat girl with a pockmarked face, then it won't be disgusting to me.
Grandpa immediately straightened his face when he heard my words, "Can you believe the old woman's words!" I don't know what she thinks? ”
I retorted: "Everyone has left the village, so don't talk behind your back, grandpa." ”
Grandpa snorted coldly, "Do you think that stinky old woman is really gone?" ”
I asked, where could she hide if she wasn't gone?
Grandpa said with a gloomy face, "I don't know where she is hiding, but if you don't get married tonight, something big will happen in the village." ”
When he said this, Grandpa looked a little nervous, as if something big was about to happen.
Having said that, the old lady's behavior is really strange, don't forget about it, she doesn't care about her granddaughter's future.
But I still don't want to agree to grandpa, marry that Ji Meimei, no matter what, I have to wait for Xiaowei's future affairs to be finished.
Grandpa was angry, blowing his beard and glaring and saying, I can't help this matter, I have to do it.
I was worried that my grandfather's body was bad, so I compromised: "Then let me see that Ji Meimei first, I have to see the real person." ”
Grandpa was stunned for a moment, poked my head and said, "I know that you little king and eight lambs like to grow beautiful girls, but you can't see Ji Meimei." ”
Well, I'll admit it, I'm a bit of a look-averse control, and when I heard my grandfather say that I can't see Ji Meimei, I'm even more suspicious of being an ugly monster.
But grandpa saw through my thoughts at a glance, and said angrily: "Don't worry, I saw Ji Meimei when she was three years old, she was as cute as a doll, and definitely not worse than Jiang Xiaowei." ”
I almost squirted, I saw it once when I was three years old?
It is said that the eighteen changes of women's colleges, there are those who grow open, and there are naturally those who are disabled, and the appearance of children can be counted.
I was speechless by my grandfather's words, but I thought that the road in our village was impassable, and I couldn't get out, so naturally I couldn't get in, so why did Ji Meimei do a happy event for me?
Grandpa waved his hand and said, "I didn't say that people could come, and today is a happy event, just a ceremony." ”
As he spoke, Grandpa took out another set of red bridal clothes, which were embroidered with the words Ji Meimei, and then told me that when I visited the church, I would worship with this dress.
I suddenly grew my mouth, the dare bride will not appear at my wedding, I want to marry a set of clothes?
I quickly told my grandfather that this was too ridiculous.
Grandpa shook his head and said, this is also a helpless thing, Ji Meimei is there now, he doesn't know, let's do the ceremony first, and then I will leave the village and go to find her.
I was completely speechless, there are people who do such things, but grandpa said that only if I become a parent, Xiaowei will not come to me in the future, and this is the only way.
My heart tightened, and my heart said that no matter whether Xiaowei became a ghost or a zombie, it was quite scary, even if I liked him before, the premise must be a living person, after all, whether it is a ghost or a zombie, it will only harm people.
Thinking of this, I couldn't disobey my grandfather anymore, so I could only agree to my grandfather's ridiculous arrangement.
At the same time, my grandfather told me that the funeral I mentioned earlier was for Xiaowei.
I was puzzled and asked my grandfather, why did we hold a funeral for her because we are not related to Xiaowei's family?
Grandpa shook his head and said helplessly: "That dead old woman doesn't care about her granddaughter, we can only do it, otherwise, Xiaowei, who has become a zombie, will keep harming people, and while she is still shallow, she has to solve it quickly." ”
I asked my grandfather suspiciously, can a funeral be solved? It seems to be very simple.
Grandpa listened to my question, and was silent for a moment before replying: "Not necessarily, but doing funerals is the only thing that can be done at the moment, and you have to try anyway." ”
Well, I can see that Grandpa is not sure, but as he said, he has to try.
However, whether it is a funeral or a happy event, the links are quite complicated, and my absurd happy event can be simplified, so what about the funeral?
For example, whether it is cremation or burial, selection of cemetery, burial and so on, who will do it, only rely on me and grandpa, and we can't do it at all.
The point is that grandpa said earlier that both things must be done today.
Grandpa said, let me do my own happy event at home, go directly into the cave room after worshipping the church, I don't have to worry about the funeral, he will call the people in the village to help, and must use cremation, together with the coffin, to burn Xiaowei together.
I can't cry or laugh, okay, in this way, I just go to the church with a piece of clothing, and I have to go into the cave room with my clothes, this kind of thing spreads, and others can't laugh at me.
But I had no choice but to do what my grandfather said.
As soon as he said it, my grandfather took out a wooden sign from the house, carved the three characters Ji Meimei on it, and then pressed it on the clothes, and told me to wait for it to get dark, and then quickly worship the church and enter the cave room, and then left the house and went to call the villagers.
But grandpa finally told me that tonight, no matter what movement I heard outside, I couldn't go out, otherwise it would break the ceremony of happy events, and he wouldn't go home tonight, and he would take someone to keep Xiaowei's spirit for a night.
Maybe the people in the village were afraid of zombies and obeyed his grandfather's words, so he quickly called a group of people to cry all the way to Xiaowei's house.
I noticed that Wang Yong and the three gangsters were actually the leaders, and the three of them cried the most, as if they were begging Xiaowei's forgiveness.
I have a feeling that I can't speak, and at the same time I understand Grandpa's intentions, does he want to use this way to resolve Xiaowei's resentment?
However, will this really resolve Xiaowei's resentment?
I didn't know the answer, and I thought to myself, when this matter is done, I still can't spare Wang Yong and the three of them, and I resolutely can't let Xiaowei die in vain.
Soon, it was dark, and I did as my grandfather had instructed, lit a red candle in the house, put the bridal dress in front of me, and pressed a wooden plaque with Ji Mimei's name engraved on it.
After that, after I had symbolically bowed to heaven and earth, I went back to my room with my clothes and wooden plaques and put them on my bed.
Immediately afterwards, I also lay down on the bed, and after covering the quilt, I pricked up my ears and listened to the movement outside.
Outside the room, a group of people seemed to carry the red coffin out, and walked in the direction of the back of the village, crying and shouting, and after a long time, I saw a fiery red light from the window behind the village.
Obviously, Grandpa had already led someone to burn the coffin.
I sighed and said to myself, Xiaowei, you can go with peace of mind, don't become a zombie and harm people, I will avenge you for your revenge.
With that, I rolled over and prepared to sleep with my head covered.
As a result, this turned over and suddenly touched a soft body.
By the moonlight through the window, I also saw a pale face, smiling at me under the covers......
