Chapter 3: Purple Pupils
Seeing that the sky was about to completely darken, Grandpa glanced towards a small raised mountain peak in the distance, and there were still a few graves over there that had not been worshipped, about which Grandpa had told me when he was very young.
Because of the topography, those tombs are illuminated by the sun all year round, and if there were ghosts in them, they should have been scattered by the sun, but then again, if the things inside have not been scattered for so long, then there is another explanation:
The things inside are definitely not comparable to ordinary dirty things, and the resentment that even the sun can't dispel is definitely not an ordinary thing.
"Xiaolong, you wait here, if you hear me let you run, you kid will run down the hill for me, don't look back, you know?" When he said this, a resolute look flashed in his grandfather's eyes.
I was about to be frightened, and when I heard my grandfather's words, my heart was stuck in my throat, but I didn't dare to disobey my grandfather's wishes, so I could only nod honestly.
Grandpa took a deep breath, took the backpack, and slowly strode towards the lonely tombs, I noticed that Grandpa's movements this time were much more cautious than before, and his expression was also much more solemn.
I don't know when the grave bags were piled up here, and there are no tombstones at all, so there is no way to know when the people inside died.
Grandpa's eyes swept over the grave bags in turn, hesitated for a moment, and then opened the backpack, touched the incense candles and paper money inside, he did not go to incense a certain grave bag, but put the incense candle paper money in front of those grave bags, and slowly knelt down:
"Disturb all the immortals, the old man deserves death, but the fire burns his eyebrows, and the old man can only spare this old bone, come to beg the immortals, I hope that the immortals will save my poor little grandson for the sake of my Zhang family's worship every year."
As he spoke, Grandpa knocked his head hard a few times towards the grave bags, and his head was bleeding, but Grandpa didn't care, he still kept kowtowing, and muttered in his mouth:
"If the immortals don't care about this, the old man can only kneel and die here."
I don't know if grandpa noticed it, anyway, I glanced at those grave bags, and I was almost scared to pee, and I almost ran away:
The three incense sticks that were burning slowly were like being twisted into a handful of twisted flowers, and the three incense sticks were like three snakes, entwined with each other at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the smoke from the burning was as if they were being led by something, slowly drifting into a tomb.
At this time, whether it was paper money or the three incense sticks, the burning speed was extremely fast, and more than half of it had been burned in a few blinks, until this time, grandpa saw this scene, and immediately showed a touch of ecstasy on his face, and said to me urgently: "Why are you still stunned?" Hurry up and kowtow! ”
I was completely stunned at this time, and walked to the tomb with three trembling steps, and my body went limp, and I knelt down directly.
Grandpa glared at me, hurriedly squeezed out a smile, and said to the tomb: "The doll is too young and ignorant, don't blame the fairy family!" ”
As he spoke, my grandfather held my head down, and there were three bangs at the tomb, which made me dizzy and my head was broken.
Usually I have a headache and brain fever, grandpa is in a hurry, and now my forehead is broken, but grandpa doesn't even look at it, like a steamed lobster, kneeling on the ground and leaning around, muttering some inexplicable words:
The immortal family can rest assured, my old Zhang family must be married to the media, and the eight sedan chairs will invite you back.
In the middle of the middle, my family will come to greet my relatives tomorrow night, and I will not let the fairy family wait for a long time.
After a grunt, my grandfather bowed three more times to the grave bag in front of him, and then grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the col.
I'm a little angry, although I also know that marrying me a ghost daughter-in-law is to save me, but I don't even say hello beforehand, it's uncomfortable for anyone to put this matter on me, besides, I don't know what that ghost bride looks like, and I don't even know what her name is.
I asked my grandfather, what is the name of this female ghost?
Grandpa glared at me and told me angrily, saying that it was not a ghost, it was a fairy family, and the fairy family understood? You can't scream in the future.
After teaching me a lesson, when I didn't speak, my grandfather's anger seemed to be a little less, so he told me that my daughter-in-law's name was Zitong.
I was slightly stunned, and said in my heart that it was really a ghost, is there one surnamed purple in the hundred family names?
Grandpa didn't explain anything to me on this issue, but told me that it was easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, and when I went back, no matter what I heard, no matter who was calling me, I would never turn back and let alone agree.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, and layers of mist drifted out of the mountain stream, completely enveloping the mountains, and making the surrounding atmosphere even more eerie.
After telling me a few words repeatedly, my grandfather lit three sticks of incense and pinched it in his hand, and pulled me to run down the mountain.
Along the way, I always felt as if there were countless looming voices behind me, including my mother, my father, and even Li Quansheng, but the meaning of these voices was nothing more than to make me turn back.
I hadn't seen my parents for nearly a year, and when I heard their voices, I wanted to look back completely subconsciously.
Before I could turn my head, my grandfather squeezed my hand violently, pinching me in pain, "Bastard, don't look back if you don't want to die!" ”
I shuddered, finally came to my senses, nodded quickly, and continued to follow my grandfather.
By the time my grandfather and I ran down the mountain panting, the young adults of the whole village, under the leadership of Uncle Li, had already been waiting at the head of the village with a flashlight and more than a dozen big wolf dogs.
My grandfather and I hurriedly ran over, and before we could catch our breath, the more than a dozen big wolf dogs barked at my and my grandfather's backs, and their teeth came out, which frightened me so much that I quickly moved two steps back.
At this time, Uncle Li led a wolf dog to greet him, and asked Grandpa straight to the point, is things going well?
Grandpa is old, and his body is a little unbearable for such a wild run, and he slowed down for a while before he spoke: "It's done, it's ......."
Uncle Li was a little confused, and leaned into his grandfather's ear and whispered, "Zhang Lao, when did you talk like an old lady?" What's it? ”
"I just feel like my granddaughter-in-law isn't an ordinary ghost......"
"Not your average ghost? What do you mean? The muscles on Uncle Li's face couldn't help but tremble, but seeing that the people around him were all around, Uncle Li rolled his eyes, and did not continue to speak, but directly asked people to take me home.
This day is definitely the most frightening day in my life, when I got home, I didn't even eat, I lay on the bed and fell asleep, when I woke up, I found that the yard was full of paper cows and paper horses, of course, the most eye-catching of them was a big red sedan chair tied with paper.
I have forgotten how I survived the day, but I remember that at 11 o'clock in the evening, my yard was already crowded with people, of course, there was not a single woman, all of them were strong men, this is these men in addition to wearing bright red clothes, each of them also had a chicken feather stuck in their heads, I don't know why.
Later, my grandfather told me that this kind of dress of these people is called "Shengyang" in our place, because I was born with a weak character, and it will inevitably attract countless lonely souls and wild ghosts when I greet relatives, so I found so many young adults, plus the chicken feathers of the rooster to improve my yang energy, otherwise, it is very likely that my daughter-in-law did not marry, and my life was sent on the way to receive my relatives.
Although there are still 2 hours before 1 o'clock in the morning, Grandpa and Uncle Li are worried about what will happen on the road, and after weighing the pros and cons, they still plan to let us leave early.
After dressing up, I looked at myself in my glasses and almost cried: I was dressed in a red robe, wearing a scholar's hat, wearing a big red flower tied with paper on my chest, my face was deliberately painted snow-white, and my cheeks were made into a monkey butt by Uncle Li.
The two strong men couldn't help but say that they lifted me to a special paper horse, and at this time, my grandfather also came over and told me with a serious expression that I must not dismount until I saw my daughter-in-law.
Syllable!
Bang bang bang!
Everything was ready, and just as everyone picked up the gong and was about to leave, the door of my house was like being hit in half by a car, and it shook violently, and then it was slammed with great force, and the dust on the gate fell.
At the same time, a pungent smell of rotting flesh wafted in through the crack in the door, and many people vomited it on the spot when they smelled it, and many people seemed to think of something, and the timid ones even sat on the ground.
"It can't help it after all!" Grandpa frowned and looked at the gate not far away, and muttered in a low voice.
"It's all his grandmother's fart!" Seeing this, Uncle Li scolded loudly, ran backwards to a large bamboo fence prepared in advance, and kicked a few feet towards the bamboo.
Giggles!
Suddenly, more than a dozen big roosters prepared in advance in the bamboo fence were frightened and immediately crowed.
On the other side, Grandpa commanded the other big men to beat gongs and drums, shouting while fighting, and five men took turns spitting in the direction of the gate.
The effect was naturally immediate, the knock on the door was gone, the cold feeling was gone, and the smell of rotten meat dissipated instantly.
After waiting for a while, Uncle Li swallowed his saliva, walked over boldly, and slammed the door open, and it was already empty outside.
Uncle Li breathed a long sigh of relief, looked back at his grandfather, and asked faintly, "So many people are almost uncontrollable, it seems that this thing is very fierce, Zhang Lao, can your granddaughter-in-law succeed?" ”
I thought that grandpa would have to worry about this, but I didn't think that grandpa laughed out loud, "Why doesn't this thing come early or late, but when we have the most people?" To put it bluntly, I still don't want my granddaughter-in-law to enter the door, so it seems that it is obviously afraid of my granddaughter-in-law. ”
As he spoke, Grandpa waved his hand and shouted excitedly, "Old and young masters, work hard, let's welcome our relatives!" ”
