14. Is there a problem in the back mountain?
With so many things going on during this time, I actually overlooked the most important factor, which was the cause of the whole thing.
I remember the night of the accident, a woman knocked on our door, and she said she was looking for her baby, and my grandfather's behavior suddenly became extremely weird.
First dressed me in a shroud, and then went straight out, and the next morning, my grandfather had passed away mysteriously.
Now that I suddenly think about it, it all seems to be inseparable from the woman who suddenly appeared that night?
Who was the woman knocking on the door that night?
I thought about it, I couldn't think of that woman in the whole village could be right, and now, Xia Mo suddenly mentioned my mother's grave in the back mountain.
I had an extremely ridiculous and unbelievable thought in my heart, could the woman who knocked on the door that night be my mother?
I myself was taken aback by this idea, my mother? How can it be? My mother has been dead for eighteen years, and I'm afraid there are only a pile of bones left. How is this possible?
Thinking of this, I hurriedly waved the thoughts in my mind quickly, and at this time, Xia Mo's voice suddenly came.
"Now, you should quickly tell me the cause and process of what happened to your family."
Hearing Xia Mo's voice, I instinctively frowned: "What do you mean?" Now? You don't want the old corpse maker to know? You're coming with me because of the old corpse maker, right? ”
I stared at Xia Mo in front of me, and immediately asked out loud, I know that Xia Mo is very beautiful, but I can't ignore a lot of things just because she is beautiful.
For my question, Xia Mo suddenly smiled: "What? Do you doubt me? If you think I can't believe it, then I can leave now. ”
Xia Mo is a decisive person, after finishing speaking, his eyes stared at me, I was silent, Xia Mo turned around directly and walked forward.
Seeing this, I was anxious, and hurriedly went up and grabbed Xia Mo.
"That's not what I meant, you know, things are a little complicated in our family." After speaking, I looked at Xia Mo, and Xia Mo's face became a little heavy at this time.
"I can tell you that the reason why I came with you is indeed because I saw the old corpse maker, but it is for you, although we don't have any friendship, but you invited me to eat an ice cream, so I don't want to see you die in vain."
"As for more, I don't want to say too much, it's just a cover-up, and you'll know later."
After finishing speaking, Xia Mo also turned around again, but I knew that she would not leave this time.
However, in my heart, because of Xia Mo's words, it became extremely solemn, Xia Mo's meaning was already obvious, the old corpse craftsman had a problem.
She wasn't going to mix it before, and after seeing that the old corpse master had a problem, she didn't want to watch me die in vain, so she followed me.
My heart has become a little messy because of Xia Mo's words, the old corpse maker was found by Mr. Liang, but now Xia Mo tells me that the old corpse maker has a problem?
I'm not a fool, Xia Mo's words, for the time being, I can only listen to them, thinking of this, I hurriedly followed Xia Mo.
When I got home, it was time for dinner, and I told my dad that the old corpse wouldn't come back for dinner, but my dad didn't say anything, and asked me to go into the kitchen to serve the food.
When I got to the kitchen, my dad frowned and asked me, what's going on with Xia Mo? I didn't hide it, I just told my dad the truth.
My grandmother spoke up on the side, saying that I am not too young, it is time to find a daughter-in-law, and she still wants to hold her great-grandson before going to the ground.
I was speechless for a while, why did the topic change so quickly?
At this time, I also told my dad directly, saying that I wanted to go to incense with my mother for a while, but as soon as I finished speaking, I found that my dad's expression became extremely heavy.
"The girl told you to go?"
I was stunned, I didn't expect my dad to guess it directly, but I saw that my dad's expression was a little strange, saying that it was indeed Xia Mo who was going.
She asked about my mother, and I told her that my mother was gone, and she said to go and worship.
My dad's frowning brows did not stretch, and after a moment of silence, my dad's deep voice came out: "You can go, you must remember, come back quickly after the incense." ”
I had some doubts in my heart, I don't know why, saying that Xia Mo was going to worship my mother, my father's expression would become a little heavy.
Even on the side, Grandma's face became a little ugly.
I didn't ask much, I walked out of the kitchen with the dishes, and after a while, the meal started, and when I was eating, the old corpse maker hadn't come back yet, to be honest, this was a little embarrassing, after all, people were doing things for us.
Now we are eating at home, but the old corpse maker is busy outside, but he asked for it, and I can't say anything.
After eating, I went to the hall to get the incense candle paper money, and took Xia Mo towards the back mountain, along the way, I saw Xia Mo's eyes constantly looking around, and I didn't know what she was looking at.
When I arrived at my mother's grave, I saw Xia Mo squatting in place, motionless, I pulled Xia Mo and asked her what was wrong?
At this time, Xia Mo looked at me with a solemn face and asked me if I was sure that my mother died of dystocia?
I was stunned again by Xia Mo's question, and asked her what she meant by this? My father, my grandmother and my grandfather all said this about my mother's death in childbirth.
Could it be that they will lie to me? At this time, Xia Mo shook his head, then looked at me and said, "Have you ever thought of a possibility?" ”
I looked at Xia Mo's heavy face, and my heart became a little solemn, and I asked her what could it be?
Xia Mo pondered for a moment, and then said directly to me: "On the night of the accident, it was your mother who knocked on the door. ”
Although I had been prepared for a long time, Xia Mo's words were still like a heavy hammer, directly hitting my heart, making it a little difficult for me to breathe.
My chest continued to rise and fall, but there was an indescribable shock in my heart, if my guess before was just my own guess, but now Xia Mo's guess actually coincided with mine.
I didn't know what to say, and Xia Mo hurriedly told me not to get excited, this is just a guess, you have to take your time in specific things, for example, the most important thing now is to find out how my mother died?
This is very important, and then Xia Mo was born directly and told me that my mother's grave is a little strange, and she can't see through it, this piece of land can't be buried at all on the surface.
Even if it is an average level of Mr. Yin and Yang, he should not bury people in this place, so she is very puzzled.
After finishing speaking, Xia Mo had already taken the incense candle in my hand and said that he would incense my mother first.
By the time I reacted, Xia Mo had already begun to light the candle, and at this time, Xia Mo glanced at the small grave bag beside him and asked me whose grave this is?
I said that it was an unknown lonely tomb, but every time I came to offer incense to my mother, I would pay homage by the way, Xia Mo nodded and didn't ask more.
After worshipping my mother, we put a stick of incense on the small grave next to us, and then Xia Mo walked around my mother's grave for a while, and finally, Xia Mo shook her head helplessly, and whispered to herself, saying that she still didn't see anything.
We had to go back, and on the way, I still couldn't hold back, and asked Xia Mo: "Did you find something, that's why you came to my mother's grave?" ”
After asking, I looked at Xia Mo and saw Xia Mo's brows frowning slightly, I originally felt that Xia Mo should not tell me, but I didn't expect Xia Mo to speak directly.
"Yes, in fact, as soon as I arrived, I found that the aura behind your house was a little weird, but I can't say the specifics, I thought I could see something after I went, but I overestimated myself."
After finishing speaking, Xia Mo fell silent and stopped talking, and when we got home, we found that the old corpse master had not come back yet.
When I got home, I kept thinking about what Xia Mo told me, how did my mother die? Did my dad lie to me?
But I felt that it was a bit inappropriate to ask so suddenly, so I was going to think about it a little more before asking.
After waiting for more than an hour, it was a little dark, and I saw a figure appear outside our courtyard, it was the old corpse craftsman.
My dad and I hurriedly greeted him and asked how the old corpse was.
The old corpse craftsman nodded and said loudly, "I found it, but I still have to go and see if it is." ”
When we heard this, we were suddenly happy in our hearts, and then my father asked the old corpse master to eat first, and he was busy all afternoon, and he didn't eat anything. The old corpse maker nodded, probably really hungry.
My grandmother hurriedly went into the kitchen to heat the dishes, and when the old corpse maker finished eating, my father was going to let the old corpse master take a rest, but he stood up directly and said that without further ado, let me take him to the mountain behind our house quickly.
Hearing this, my father's bodies and I froze in place, and there was silence for a moment, and then my father asked the old corpse craftsman out loud: "Mr. Corpse, what do you mean, the piece of land you are looking for is the mountain behind our house?" ”
The old corpse craftsman nodded directly and asked if there was anything wrong with my dad? My dad froze in place, speechless for a long time.
"You can't bury it in the back mountain!"
At this time, my grandmother, who had never spoken, spoke out abruptly.
The old corpse craftsman's brow furrowed, and he glanced at my grandmother, then at my father, and suddenly the room fell silent.
After a while, my dad sighed and said, "I'll take you there." ”
Looking at my father's heavy expression, I instinctively felt that something was wrong, and then, I thought of my mother's grave in the back mountain.
Is all this really inseparable from my mother?
Otherwise, when the old corpse maker said that the place he was looking for was in the back mountain, how could my father show such a look?
Is this a coincidence? Or is there something else? What do grandma's words mean?
