Chapter 1 Grandpa dies

Next Chapter

My name is Shen Huai, I am twenty-four years old, and my grades are mediocre and I barely get a bachelor's degree.

After graduating from college, I should be like everyone else, looking for a stable job related to my major, squeezing the bus and drilling the subway every day, taking a pitiful salary, getting married and having children at a certain age, if I am lucky enough to buy a house and pay a down payment at home, the rest of the days are that my wife and I are desperately trying to earn money to pay off the mortgage, and then have a child of our own, watching the child grow up, like this all my life.

But the truth is, as soon as I graduated, something big happened in my family - my grandfather died!

Of course, these are two big things in my life, two things...... Enough to affect the event of my life.

————

Speaking of my grandfather, he is definitely a strange old man who can't be blamed anymore, of course, not only I feel weird, everyone who knows him thinks he's a weird old man.

His favorite thing to do on weekdays is to sit in front of the door with a small pony and talk to himself on the street. Of course, he wasn't talking nonsense to himself, as if he was really talking to someone, and I heard him call out the name of the second grandmother in the village several times into the air.

But you must know that Grandma Wang has been dead for three years!

I don't know why, grandpa's personality is so weird, but his popularity is not good! Not only the people in the village, but also people from several nearby villages, every once in a while, they will send some food snacks to grandpa, as small as a bag of hawthorn and as big as an old cow! For as long as I can remember, all the food in my grandfather's house has not been bought by myself, rice, flour, grain and oil, as long as there is something missing, those people in the village will send it to the door in time!

I also asked my dad about this separately, and my dad told me that my grandfather would meet each other when he was young, and he would see all the nearby villages, and he could see them very accurately! After a long time, everyone gradually developed a sense of respect for my grandfather, thinking that he was a capable person, after all, at that time, the most unoffended thing was the tomb robber and face.

But when my dad said this, I was even more confused! Since grandpa saw the face so accurately, why didn't he suddenly look at it? It seems that for as long as I can remember, I haven't seen my grandfather show people's faces, and even if my father doesn't tell me, I don't know that my grandfather will do this.

When I told my dad about it, he just laughed and shook his head, and then said lightly, "It's not the time for you to know!" ”

Every time I come here, that is, where this topic ends, no matter how much I grind him, he just won't tell me, more than ten years have passed, I have forgotten these things, but with the death of my grandfather, all the memories of my grandfather seem to have become clear.

Grandpa's death made me very uncomfortable, although his personality is strange, but he is very good to me, when I came back from the summer vacation, he was still sitting on the maza and smoking an old cigarette pouch, and told me that he wanted to get into a good university, to be better than others, but not long has passed, the original tough old man said to leave!

When I got home, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening, it was getting dark, and my family was busy building the funeral tent. I glanced over, there were dozens of people working with them, and I also saw Zhang Song and Wang Tan in the crowd.

The two of them grew up together with bare butts, and when I mentioned the naughtiest kids in the village, they definitely couldn't run away from the three of us!

It's just that I was admitted to a key high school in the province after graduating from junior high school, and every day in addition to studying is studying, and gradually the relationship with them faded. But if they can come today, it must mean that half of the people in the village have come to help.

They saw me from afar, and as soon as the hand that set the stool stopped, they ran towards me!

Wang Tan ran the fastest, came up and gave me a bear hug, and then let out a long sigh.

"Brother, mourning!" He patted me on the back, then let go of his hand and stood aside.

"It's okay!" I grinned and said, "People, how can there be immortals?" Sooner or later, you won't have to go through this! ”

Seeing me like this, Wang Tan shook his head and sighed: "You can see quite well, I don't need to say anything to persuade you!" ”

"Get out of the way!" I reached out and punched him in the shoulder, then turned my head to look at Zhang Song: "Songzi, why don't you speak?" ”

Who knew that as soon as he heard me say this, Wang Tan's eyes almost bulged out! He turned around suddenly, and then said tremblingly: "Shen Huai, you...... Don't scare me! ”

"Scaring you?" I was confused and asked, "Why did it scare you?" I haven't spoken yet, have I? ”

"You really don't know?" Wang Tan's eyes rolled, and Wang and I made a move here, "Also, you have already gone back to school when this happened!" ”

As soon as I saw Wang Tan like this, I simply put the suitcase in my hand on the ground and said directly: "What's the matter, tell me quickly!" Come here, don't stand so far! Why haven't you seen me for a few months and still have a relationship with me! As I spoke, I pointed to the side and motioned for Zhang Song to come closer.

The latter smiled shyly, rolled up the corners of his clothes with his hands, and walked to my side with a twist, like a little girl.

"I'll go! Shen Huai, you shouldn't really see Zhang Song, right? The corners of Wang Tan's mouth twitched, and he said, "Zhang Song fell into the river and drowned a few months ago!" ”

"What? Drowned? I was stunned for a moment, and looked back at Zhang Song again, only to find that the originally shy smile on his face instantly became hideous, the originally pale chin was now hanging a little mud, his face and ears were sandwiched with some rotten leaves, and the left eye socket became even more hollow, and the whole person was no longer a trace of life!

My body shook, and a hint of fear gradually rose in my heart. Seeing that I didn't speak, Wang Tan stretched out his hand and shook it in front of my eyes: "Shen Huai, are you okay?" ”

"Nope! Nothing! I pulled his hand away and said, "Wang Tan, tell me when Songzi died...... What is it like? ”

Hearing this, he sighed and said helplessly: "I didn't expect Songzi's death either, do you remember the big pit in the east of the village?" A few days after you left, the two of us went down to the pit to take a bath, and it was okay when I went down the ditch, but when I swam to the middle of the ditch, I didn't know what hooked the pine nuts, and he fluttered for a long time before I found out that he was drowning, and when I wanted to save him, he sank! Speaking of this, he paused, shook his head and said: "It stands to reason that we went to this ditch when we were children, and we have been swimming back and forth for more than ten years, and there have never been any aquatic plants in it!" What's more, with our water nature, it is impossible to be drowned, right?

Alas...... Anyway, the pine nuts were also drowned! When the villagers fished him up, his eyes were knocked off, and his face was full of mud and rotten leaves......"

I subconsciously turned around, but suddenly found Zhang Song standing behind me, and his body trembled violently. Even though there were no eyeballs in those empty sockets, I could still feel the horror in his eyes!

I followed his gaze, and in an instant, it was as if I had been struck by the thunder of the Nine Heavens, and my whole body became stiff......
