Chapter 2 Strangeness
"It's like- something." The phone was always ringing, Bai Luoling's head hurt when she heard it, and she frowned: "Grandma, take advantage of this time to quickly change to a landline, you can't hear a phone call clearly." I'll be back soon, waiting for me. ”
She turned around and went to the parking lot to drive her own white Beetle out - the price of a city is high, and it stands to reason that a little Yu Ji can't afford this car, but this little Yu Ji has a good family background and a solid foundation, and after graduating from Bai Luoling University, she immediately sent a car for her to travel, and she has used this car for four years.
Bang, Bai Luoling drove into a simple parking garage and got out of the car by himself, grandma's house is still some distance from here, but the road is too narrow, even the tricycle is a little dangerous to pass, let alone a car.
"Grandma! Ah! Why don't you move to the city? She entered the door and complained again, only to see a slender old man looking at her with a smile on his face—the old man's eyes were all cloudy, and only half of his eyes were exposed, and he didn't know if he could see it or not. It's good for me to live here, I can do whatever I can, and I don't have to pay attention to anything, it's too troublesome in the city. The old man laughed, and his whole face twitched.
"Hmph, I'm afraid it's some shady deed." A woman with a good figure and a more dignified temperament came out of the room, and snorted coldly when she heard this, obviously with exquisite makeup, but said mean things.
"Mom!" Bai Luoling's voice was elongated, with some begging in it, everything in their family is good, but the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not good, her mother is obviously a high school Chinese teacher, a reader, usually gentle to both students and parents, but only when facing her grandmother, she has been picking the most ugly words, bitter and mean.
"Ling'er, let's eat first." As before, every time the white wife is scolded, but every time it is the white wife who plays a round.
I don't know what I remembered, Bai Luoling's mother suddenly fell silent, and glanced at the old woman Bai: "I won't eat it, you can eat, I'll go see Bai Feng." Bai Luoling sighed, how could she forget the most important thing! She's going to see her dad when she comes back.
She and her mother gently pushed the door, only to see an unconscious middle-aged man lying on the bed. "Didn't you say Dad was better?" Bai Luoling asked with a frown.
"It's a little better, but I've been getting more and more thirsty lately, and I don't know what's going on!" Wang Shu's eyes gradually turned red, and Bai Luoling's heart felt like a pinprick, and she didn't feel comfortable at all. Although they were not rich and wealthy before, there was a smooth sailing, her mother often donated money to do obligations, and her father was a lawyer and never did anything unreasonable.
But probably, except for her grandmother.
Her grandmother was a well-known feng shui master when she was young, but her father believed in science and excelled in learning. Later, when my grandmother got older, she washed her hands and became a spiritual woman, and by the way, she told fortunes for others.
But according to her, all she did was to benefit others, and she never harmed anyone. Bai Luoling has always believed unconditionally, but her mother does not believe it.
A year ago, Bai Feng suddenly had a hard sore on his calf, at first they didn't care too much, thinking it was an ordinary eczema scab, but as time went on, the scab gradually got bigger, and then it was rotten meat, and I don't know why, Bai Feng couldn't even stand up, and his temper gradually grew.
Once, his legs could barely walk, Wang Shu wanted to bring the food to the room to eat, but he knocked over all the plates at once: "Do you look down on me?" Am I putting you in a shame? I can go! If you don't like me, we can get a divorce!! "Her father is a gentle man, and it is taboo for lawyers to be angry, so her father usually does not show mountains or water, calm and generous, and when he was sick, he was comforting his mother, but that day, his face became hideous.
Thinking back, Bai Luoling felt a little scared that her father had become so scary. Why is this happening all of a sudden?
"Ling'er!" The old woman's voice couldn't be heard clearly outside the wooden door, "Ling'er." Bai Luoling was stunned for a moment, and agreed, her mother snorted beside her, although she personally didn't like her mother-in-law, but she never stopped her daughter from getting close to her grandmother, and she never said why in front of her daughter.
"Ling'er." Grandma was sitting on the upper seat of the hall, the faint yellow light from the roof reflected on her old face, she seemed to be unable to control her expression, the fat on her face sometimes twitched and twitched, Bai Luoling had never observed grandma like this, and she had a cold feeling for no reason. She shook her head without leaving a trace, trying to dissipate the thoughts in her head.
Bai Luoling suddenly remembered that when she was a child, her grandmother's eyes were still very bright, her eyes were very bright, and Bai Luoling's eyes were too, just like when the white old woman was young, as if they were full of starlight. Every Friday night after school, Bai Luoling's happiest thing is to be sent to his grandmother's house by his father.
Although the mother was not very happy, she never stopped. Grandma usually worked two days a day, but every Friday night, she put down all her business and stayed with her all weekends. Others dislike grandma's yard yin, obviously a feng shui master lives in the worst feng shui place, but she doesn't think that the place where grandma is is warm is very warm.
Bai Luoling's thoughts were pulled back by the sound of the wooden bench scraping on the ground. I saw that the white old woman kept staring at her—she said she was staring, but her whole eyes were buried under the shadows, and her whole face was facing her motionlessly, as if she was looking at a prey. "Ling'er, come here." She had already stood up, slowly moved to the door of the room, and beckoned to her.
She had lived for twenty-seven years, and for the first time felt that her grandmother's door was a little unfamiliar.
The old woman opened the closet, and the smell of old mothballs came to her face, and she saw a large vermilion wooden box quietly staying in it, and she took a key from the drawer—she was a little trembling, and slowly opened the lock. Amazingly, when the wooden box was opened, it was not mothballs, but a fresh fragrance. The white old woman dug down and took out a piece of jade.
"What is this?" Bai Luoling exclaimed. The color of that piece of jade is so natural and comfortable that people will not suspect that it is a fake on the market.
"This is what your grandfather left me." She spoke softly, with a hint of tenderness in her voice. "Now I'll give it to you."
Bai Luoling suppressed the uneasiness and curiosity in her heart, and could only smile sweetly: "Thank you, grandma!" For the old man's kindness, Bai Luoling never pretended to be polite or refused, seeing her so simply, the old woman's face showed joy again.
