I jerked my head up, tears filled up, and I flew over and threw myself into my grandmother's arms.

"Grandma, I miss you so much, are you feeling better? Did anyone make things difficult for you when you went back? ”

Grandma patted me on the back and shook her head: "An old woman, at such an age, no one will make things difficult for me, and my body is almost recovered, didn't Mengmeng come with you?" ”

"Grandma, you just want to be cute, you don't want me to come, do you?" I feigned anger.

Grandma laughed: "You girl! ”

"I'm hungry, go upstairs and eat first, I still have a way to catch up later." Xu Fu walked over and said.

I smiled at Xu Fu: "Uncle Xu, thank you for helping me find my grandmother." ”

Xu Fu smiled awkwardly: "Go upstairs first, let's go upstairs." ”

I'm a little puzzled, Le Dayong was a little strange in the car before, and now Xu Fu's performance is also the same, what's wrong?

I helped my grandmother upstairs, and there were many people in the private room upstairs, dressed in national costumes, sitting at the round table.

I didn't expect such a big battle, I was a little stunned at the time, Xu Fu arranged my grandmother to sit in the right position, pushed me to my grandmother's side, I quickly humbled, after all, I was too young to dare to hold up.

Grandma smiled and said, "If you want to sit, you can sit next to me." ”

As soon as I sat down, a little girl of seven or eight years old on the left asked, "Is this my cousin?" ”

Cousin?

Xu Fu began to introduce: "Yes, this is your cousin, the only granddaughter of your second grandmother." ”

Then Xu Fu looked at me: "Xiaoyou, let me introduce you, this is your eldest aunt, this is your second aunt and your cousin Wu Xinyue, and over there is your little aunt......"

After being introduced one by one, I was a little confused.

After all, I didn't expect to face such a large table of relatives when I came back.

Relatives, in Jiangcheng, I feel sorry for my grandmother, but I didn't expect that in the distant Miaojiang, there are so many close relatives.

But......

Didn't Xu Fu just find my grandmother? How can you know so much about my loved ones?

If I just found it, shouldn't it be my grandmother who opened her mouth now? Why is it Xu Fu introduced?

This posture, as if Xu Fu is a person in this family?

At the end of the introduction, I looked at Xu Fu, and my tone was already a little cold: "So, what should I call you?" ”

Xu Fu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Look, how shrewd this girl is, I really don't know how to answer this question." ”

"What's so difficult about this, there's nothing wrong with calling you Uncle Xu." The second aunt hugged Wu Xinyue and smiled.

Grandma touched my head: "Let's eat first, and when we go back, I'll talk to you in the evening." ”

I don't have a good taste in my heart, I swallowed dates for a meal, the meal was not long, half an hour later, everyone went downstairs, Le Dayong said that he would not follow, and he had to go back to Jiangcheng overnight, Xu Fu asked him to be careful on the road.

The town of Phoenix was just the place where they greeted me, and after that, we sat in an ox cart, a dozen hangings, and walked slowly along the country road.

It was dark all the way, at first the road was still asphalt, and the more you went, the narrower it became, and finally it was just a gravel road, and the road was full of fields on both sides, and at the end of the month, the moon was hanging obliquely.

I leaned on my grandmother and couldn't help asking, "Grandma, what the hell is going on?" Uncle Xu told me before that he was always looking for someone, could that person be you? ”

"Yes, he is looking for me, from the first time you came back to mention this person to me, I knew that sooner or later he would find me, and his friendliness to you was also based on me." Grandma admitted it very simply.

I was surprised and asked, "Grandma, what is your relationship with him?" ”

I have some vague expectations in my heart, indescribable expectations.

"What's the relationship? It's a nephew. Grandma replied.

I was stunned: "Senior nephew? Not a blood relative? ”

"It's not." Grandma laughed, "This matter has to start from the beginning." ”

This story is very long, the ox cart is swaying, and it is also very slow, and the driver who walks in the front shakes the brass bell in his hand from time to time, and the driver at the back responds to the same rhythm of the bell, which is very charming.

Grandma said that Xu Fu was his brother's personal disciple.

I asked, was it your brother who asked him to come to you?

Grandma said yes.

I asked again, what does your brother do? Are you a feng shui master like you?

Grandma looked at the sky in a distracted manner, and her tone was soothing with an inexplicable pride and tenderness: "He, he is a very amazing man, he can do anything, most of my feng shui secret techniques were learned from him, it was a long, long time ago, I was just bought back by the Wu family." ”

"Buy it back? Do you want to be a child bride? "My grandmother never took the initiative to mention her life experience to me, and the word 'buy' made me feel uneasy.

Could it be that my grandmother was sold to my grandfather by human traffickers back then, and escaped from death after she became pregnant?

Grandma's answer was far more tortuous and unexpected than I imagined, and she asked me: "Peng Peng, do you know the self-combing girl?" ”

"I saw a report on TV about the last self-combing girl, they are the woman who voluntarily combed her hair and chose not to marry for life, I remember the recent report I saw about the self-combing girl, which is a self-combing woman who has served in a family without regrets for decades, and finally the family supports her for the rest of her life, which is very touching." I replied from memory.

Grandma smiled bitterly: "The last self-combing girl, Huaxia is so big, who can know which corner the last one is in and is panting, at least, the team of self-combing girls, and my old bones are not dead." ”

"Grandma, are you a self-combing girl?" I couldn't believe it.

Grandma smiled: "Maybe I don't count either." ”

"I was born in the middle of Halloween, I was born to be judged to be too hard, abandoned by my parents in a small ravine, it was the self-combing girl who passed by at that time to save me, brought me home, but she was old, worked hard for five or six years, and her body bones could not stand it, so she wanted to find a place for me to live before she died, but no one was willing to adopt me, people of that era, too poor, but also spared their lives, everyone was afraid of being killed by me, in desperation, she combed my black hair, and told everyone that I inherited her mantle, became an out-and-out self-combing girl, and it didn't take long for someone to come to the door and ask her if she wanted to buy me a threshold, no money, and would treat me well for the rest of my life. ”

"What is the threshold for buying?" I don't understand, but I feel sorry for my grandmother.

My grandmother told me: "Self-combing women are not allowed to get married, this marriage, but they can't marry a living man, but they can buy a threshold, marry a man who is dead, or is about to die."

Since the comb girl never married, to the old, not even the person to collect the corpse, no one is afraid of no one to collect the corpse after death, so when he was young, he desperately saved money, met the right person who passed away, donated money to his house, to be his surviving person, only to ask his family to be on his deathbed, can give himself a funeral, and the dead ghost buried in the ancestral grave, it can be regarded as giving himself a proper name, and I, as the surviving brother and brother, did not donate a son, when I entered their house, I was only six years old, I was very ignorant of all this. ”

"Senior brother's younger brother? Shouldn't you call you Senior Brother? "Why is this relationship so confusing.

Grandma smiled again: "Yes, at the beginning I called him the eldest brother, he was the most talented seedling in the clan, just born by the great wizard in the clan, accepted as a disciple, I was six years old when he was ten years old, he will come back to share with me what he learns, we copy the runes together, learn to arrange the array together, arrange the birth eight characters together, my entire childhood and adolescence, are spent with him, later, the great wizard also accepted me as a disciple, we have an extra layer of brother and sister relationship, day by day, can't help it, But his and I identities are awkward, and we are not destined to be together.

Later, the great wizard suddenly died, and the clan was in chaos for a while, and everyone wanted to replace him, and on that cusp, I found out that I was pregnant, and if this relationship between us was pierced, I would be immersed in the pig cage, and he couldn't be the great wizard in the clan, so I didn't tell anyone, and secretly left the clan, from the south all the way to the north, and there was only one thought at that time, I had to hide, hide in a place where no one in the clan could find me, in order to keep his reputation, his status, our children. ”

When Grandma recalled this paragraph, her emotions didn't fluctuate much, but I understood that she used to be a disciple of the great wizard in their clan, and she was a self-combing girl, and if she suddenly fled, there must be many people who would target her!

And nine times out of ten of these people will want to arrest her and end her sins for various public and private reasons.

How hard my grandmother hid back then, and under what circumstances did she give birth to my father, Liu Jinhua described to me the hardships of my grandmother before, and she kept her mouth shut all her life, how much suffering she suffered.

My father is her lifeline, when he had an accident, how did my grandmother survive, and what kind of mood raised me?

I reached out and hugged my grandmother tightly, and my nose was sour: "Grandma, you've always been homesick, haven't you?" ”

"Homesick? Actually, I didn't think so, I just wanted to come back and see his life, and he was happy in the second half of his life without my participation. Grandma said calmly.

"The house is full of children and grandchildren, and he is happier than you."

Look at the ox carts in front of me, the eldest aunt, the second aunt, the little aunt, and more than a dozen children of Wu Xinyue's generation, my grandfather, my own grandfather, has not been idle in this life.

Grandma sighed: "I can't come back, after all, I still have to stand in the Wu family under the name of the second grandmother, and his descendants can treat me with courtesy, which is already rare, I don't ask for too much, and I don't know what he left me, it's just Pengpeng, grandma is old, there are too few and too few people who can help you, I have to do something for you in the years that last." ”

"Grandma, I don't want you to do anything for me, you don't grieve yourself, let's not go back with the Wu family, let's go back to Jiangcheng, Jiangcheng is our home." I began to reject the Wu family, and in my opinion, these half-way relatives would not really accept me at all.

Grandma tugged my hand and patted the back of my hand to tell me not to get excited: "Peng Peng, if you weren't with the fox fairy, I wouldn't have brought you back, but since you have embarked on this road, it is only a matter of time before you come into contact with the Wu family. ”

"By the way, grandma, Xu Fu's status in the Wu family is very high, right?"

"He is your grandfather's most proud protégé, and in the entire clan, his status is also very high, if he hadn't found me, I wouldn't have made up my mind to come back, Peng Peng, as long as he treats you well, you can stand in the Wu family, understand?" Grandma looked at me solemnly.

I was still not very happy in my heart: "Grandma, why do you have to let me go back to the Wu family?" I have Hu Qichen, and I don't think there's anything to be afraid of. ”

"Silly boy, it's good that the fox fairy can protect you for the rest of your life, but do you really want him to protect you for the rest of your life?" Grandma asked me.

I shook my head, yes, Hu Qichen can protect me, but many times, in order to protect me, he will be incapable of separating himself and suffering from the enemy, many times I will think, if I am a little stronger, a little stronger, Hu Qichen may live a much easier life.

"Grandma, is the Wu family really powerful?" I'm starting to shake a little.

Grandma nodded: "The Wu family is very big, there are many side branches, involving various fields, witchcraft, Gu magic, yin and yang arts, the foundation of hundreds of years is there, hidden in Miao Jiang, has never been invaded, such a family, do you say it is powerful?" ”

"So powerful, where is my foothold?" Almost all of the people who came to greet me today were female dependents, not to mention the little brother-in-law, even the eldest uncle and the second uncle, who must also cover the sky with one hand in the clan, which onion am I?

Grandma smiled: "This is afraid? ”

"It's not that I'm afraid, I just know it, and I don't think there's any need to be boring." I shrugged and sighed, "I don't want to be embarrassed." ”

"You can't say that, so what do you think of their attitude towards you during the banquet just now?" Grandma asked.

"It's passionate, but how long can that enthusiasm last? Zuo is just for the sake of you and Uncle Xu's face. "I don't think I'm really that likable.

Grandma touched my head: "Why is my Peng Peng so unconfident?" Yes, they are indeed looking for my face, but it is not that my face is really so big, but because your grandfather made a will before his death, dividing half of the family property to the second room, and indicating that if I am not found in my life, this family property will be donated, so they are looking for me vigorously, which is why after I came back, I acquiesced to Xu Fu to contact you. ”

"Are you afraid they'll do it to me?" I don't know how much half of the Wu family's property is, but no matter how much, for the Wu family itself, it is all involved in the whole body, grandma found it back, they stabilized grandma, and after a hundred years of her, it is easy to get this family property, but with me it is different, grandma will definitely leave the family property to me, what if I die unexpectedly outside?

The Wu family's hundreds of years of accumulated property fell into the hands of a foreign goods, no one could swallow this breath, how many pairs of eyes stared at me.

Grandma had to bring me back, recognize my ancestors, officially take over half of the family property, and put me on the bright side, and they will be more or less restrained.

My masked grandfather is really ruthless, grandma belongs to the second room on the surface, and is the surviving person of his dead ghost brother, but in essence, it is his white moonlight, he left half of the family property to grandma with a wave of his hand, and his later wife gave birth to three children, and now these three rooms divide the other half of the family property equally, and anyone will be jealous of this piece of fat in grandma's hand.

It is also thanks to having three rooms, three rooms and three legs, each of which is divided into one side, but it is beneficial to me, they fight and fight, who wins first, will become the target of the siege of the other two rooms, so no one dares to strike first.

Grandma's intention to ask me to come back was to win over forces while no one had the courage to attack me.

"Figured it out?" Grandma asked me suddenly.

I nodded: "I understand, I'll go back with you." ”

"Pengpeng, you don't understand." Grandma said solemnly, "I want you to go back, not to run for the family property, money is something outside the body, how much you earn is to live this life, I want you to come back, I want you to learn to spend money, spend money to win over everything you think you want, consolidate your position, you have to be strong enough, in order to really live in peace." ”

I didn't answer my grandmother's words, she was right, she did all this, she was planning for me, but what she didn't know was that I didn't want all this.

Grandma just felt that she was too old to be with me for a few years, and wanted to pave a broad road for me in the rest of her years, but she didn't understand my heart.

My heart has already been completely handed over to Hu Qichen, and as soon as a week later, I will hand over my body to Hu Qichen to help him cultivate his true body, even if it can be delayed for a while, I think it must be before the Chinese New Year, so I may not even have the opportunity to send my grandmother to the end.

In such a short period of time, it is enough for me to be able to accompany my grandmother, and I will do whatever she wants me to do, as long as she is happy!

……

After the car went down from a section of dirt road, there was a barren grass slope in front, under the hazy moonlight, it looked a little crazy, a layer of white fog in front, in the white fog, there was a tablet faintly, I couldn't see the words on the tablet.

I was just about to ask my grandmother what was going on, when I heard a shout from above: "All followed, enter the village immediately." ”

Immediately, the ox cart at the front stepped across the monument boundary and disappeared into the white mist.

I was so shocked that my ox cart slowly followed, and through the white fog, the lights were bright in front of me, and in the distance I saw a large round house.

This kind of round house, also known as the walled house, I have seen it on TV before, is built with clay embryo mixed with glutinous rice, it is particularly strong, only the wall can be seen from the outside, the opening is inside, all the people of a clan live together, the family is very large, all are close relatives, collateral blood relatives and other neighbors can only be built along the walled house, looking up to the people.

At this time, there were many people guarding the front of the house, and when the ox cart slowly stopped, a middle-aged man quickly walked over, crossed the ox cart in front of him, and walked directly towards us.

"Erniang, it's been a bumpy road, it's hard for you." He stretched out his hand to help his grandmother get out of the ox cart, and I jumped down with it, my feet were a little numb, and I almost didn't stop, he turned to laugh and said, "I guess this is my eldest niece, she looks really good." ”

Grandma smiled: "Peng Peng, call me uncle." ”

"Hello uncle." It turns out that this is the current head of the Wu family's long house, and I can't help but think, if my father is still alive, he is the eldest son of Gen Zheng Miaohong, right?

The eldest uncle nodded: "It's not early, I heard that Peng Peng was just injured in Jiangcheng, and it is really embarrassing for you to let you sit in the ox cart for so long, but our family has always had such rules, and I hope you can understand." ”

"My injuries are no longer serious, uncle, please rest assured." I replied.

"That's good, let's all go in, the hot water is ready, let's wash and rest first, tomorrow I will let someone take you around the clan and let you adapt to life here as soon as possible." The eldest uncle confessed.

Of course, I had no objection, I originally wanted to sleep with my grandmother, but my uncle cleaned up a room next to my grandmother and gave it to me.

As soon as I opened the door, it was full of pink, which was completely the configuration of the princess room, if I was a few years younger, I might like it, but now I actually prefer the European minimalist style, and they still treat me as a child.

The room is located in the middle of the second floor, I washed out, I was indeed very tired, went to my grandmother's room to say goodnight, wanted to sleep with grandma, but grandma asked me to go back to my room, saying that I have to adapt to the role played in this family as soon as possible, can not do as I want.

I had to go back to my room, but I couldn't sleep under the covers, there were so many things that I needed to digest along the way, and my head hurt.

It was already past eleven o'clock when I went to bed, and I took out my mobile phone and wanted to call Hu Qichen, but looking at the time, it was estimated that he had rested, so I thought about calling again tomorrow morning.

After midnight, I felt a little sleepy in a daze, as if I was asleep, I felt as if someone was walking back and forth in the room.

I thought I was dreaming, and I rolled over, and the movement disappeared, but I came to my senses, and leaned sideways into the bed without making a sound, and after a while, the footsteps sounded again, very soft, very soft, like the sound of feathers brushing the ground, but I did hear it.

The back of my spine was cold for a while, and at the end, I turned over again, my face was facing outward, my eyes were half-squinted, and the footsteps disappeared for a while, and when I heard again, I squinted my eyes and looked in the direction from which the sound came, but I saw nothing.

I quietly raised my hand, opened my eyes, and looked over there again, and saw a faint figure, déjà vu.
