Chapter 20: There is a problem
If Grandpa hadn't left at that time and stayed there with confidence, things would have been fine.
It was because my grandfather pulled me away that everyone in the village thought that my grandfather was a thief, and the misunderstanding between my grandfather and the old blind man was very deep, so everyone suspected that it was my grandfather who killed the old blind man.
People in the village have always been unevidence-based, and they will stubbornly think that this is what a thing is.
Grandpa was speechless and didn't want to pay attention to it, but I could see that grandpa seemed to deliberately don't want to have contact with the Taoist priest, although I don't know the reason, but I also recently discovered that grandpa is becoming more and more mysterious, and many things are not clear to me.
When he got home, his grandfather kept silent, just took out a cigarette pouch from the house, added it to the cigarette stick, and then sat on a bench at the door and smoked.
Grandpa will be like this as long as he has something on his mind, and I have followed him since I was a child, so I naturally know that grandpa must be wrong.
I stood next to me and couldn't stand it, so I simply went to find a small bench and moved it next to my grandfather, I asked my grandfather curiously, "Grandpa, why don't you explain?" ”
Grandpa puffed out the smoke and said meaningfully, "People prefer to believe what they want to see than the truth." ”
I was stunned, grandpa means that the people in the village hope that the old blind man was killed? I didn't understand, and I asked, "Grandpa, how did the old blind man die?" ”
Although the old blind man and my grandfather do not agree, but it is not a deep hatred, the old blind man's family used to be very good to me, the blind woman often takes me to herd cattle, after all, it is a familiar person, watching the old blind man go, my heart is really not a taste.
Human death is greater than the sky, even if the life is not good, everyone is dead, what can not be put down.
Grandpa then told me, "There is indeed a problem with the death of the donkey ball, do you remember when we went, the old blind man was hanged on the beam of the house, and there was a stool under his feet?" ”
I shook my head, "Nothing." ”
Grandpa said, "Since there is no thing, how did he get up?" If someone harms him, he will struggle before he dies, but the blind man is very quiet, without any injuries on his body, and there is no struggle on his face, don't you say strange? ”
This really stunned me when I asked, it was indeed very strange, if there was nothing to step on, the old blind man would not be able to reach it.
"Is there something wrong with that Taoist priest?" I continued to ask Grandpa.
Grandpa shook his head, "The Taoist priest and the blind man's family went to the Taoist temple together, it's even more impossible." It's just that the old blind man must have known that something was going to happen to him, so he entrusted the Taoist priest to take his family to avoid it, otherwise in the situation of the old blind man, he would not be able to ask them to go to the Taoist temple. ”
The old blind man knew that he was going to die, but it was not suicide, that is, someone else was harming him, so I asked my grandfather, "Who is harming the old blind man?" ”
Grandpa sighed, "Living people will definitely not be able to do this thing, most of the people who can have this ability are people in the underworld, the old blind man has not finished his life, this thing is obviously unreasonable, even if you want to detain ghosts in the underworld, the time has come, and most of the rules are broken for other reasons." You don't care about this matter, I'm afraid it's not that simple! ”
Grandpa didn't want to say more, and I didn't want to ask too much, but I always felt that my grandfather had something to hide from me and didn't want me to know.
My grandfather and I sat in the doorway all the time, and he smoked and I read for a while.
It didn't take long for the Taoist priest brought by the blind man to come directly to the door, and when he saw that my grandfather and I were at the door, he saluted politely, looked at his grandfather in a calm tone and asked, "Old man, I know everything about the matter between you and the old blind man, I heard that you beat him with a stick before, can you let me see it?" ”
Grandpa ignored him and continued to smoke.
Seeing that my grandfather was not good at talking, the Taoist priest looked at me with a smile and asked, "Little friend, what's your name?" ”
I secretly glanced at my grandfather, and when I saw that my grandfather didn't react, I opened my mouth and told the Taoist priest, "My name is Chen Tian, what about you?" ”
The Taoist priest smiled slightly, "My name is Zhang Hao, and I am a Taoist priest in the Taoist temple near the entrance of your village." ”
I think this Taoist priest is about thirty years old, and he speaks completely different from the people in the village, and his calm heart makes people feel very comfortable, and he also makes people feel kind between his eyebrows and eyes, and he doesn't feel like a bad person.
Zhang Hao saw that his grandfather always ignored it, his face was obviously embarrassed and he said, "The old blind man is half an apprentice of mine, he came to me a few years ago to learn some skills, I have a fate with him, this time things are strange, I think you must have seen it, why did the old blind man die, I think you should know in your heart that this matter has nothing to do with you." ”
When I heard this, I was angry, so I picked up the stone on the ground and threw it at the Taoist priest, "My grandfather didn't hurt anyone, get out of the way!" ”
Zhang Hao was stunned, obviously shocked by my actions, but he didn't blame me, but said calmly, "The secrets hidden in your village will always come out, no matter who you are, but to wear the Tianxian Cave clothes for Chen Tian is to harm him, ordinary people wearing the robes of the Heavenly Master will inevitably suffer retribution, I don't know where you stole this robe, but I advise you to do it yourself." ”
The man in the field said the same thing last time, and now this Taoist priest also says that robes will harm me.
Could it be that Grandpa really wants to hurt me?
But I think it's impossible, if it really hurts me, I don't have to wait for this time, when the soul envoy takes me away, grandpa can ignore it.
There must be a misunderstanding in this.
The Taoist priest said that he wanted to help deal with the blind man's funeral, so he didn't say much to us, but just told my grandfather not to do anything.
I felt strange in my heart, why did this Zhang Hao think that it had something to do with my grandfather.
After this incident, Grandpa didn't say anything, and when it was time for dinner, Grandpa just made a meal for me to eat, and he said that he wanted to go out to eliminate food, so he went out.
I saw that it was dark anyway, so I went to light an incense stick for Zhang Yao to eat.
Sure enough, Zhang Yao smelled the fragrance and appeared directly in front of me, sitting beside me extremely well-behaved.
I ate in a big gulp, and Zhang Yao smelled the fragrance very happily.
After a while, Zhang Yao suddenly spoke, "I heard everything today, your grandfather is very strange." ”
I was stunned, even Zhang Yao said so, I was really a little puzzled, grandpa's behavior was really strange, I looked at Zhang Yao curiously, "But my grandpa won't harm me." ”
Zhang Yao frowned and hesitated for a while before saying, "You couldn't understand me before, but why did you suddenly understand?" People have words, ghosts have ghosts, ghosts are people who become natural to understand people's words, but people can't understand ghosts, unless you are also a ghost, you can understand. ”
Zhang Yao's words frightened me, how did I become a ghost, I am alive and well, I was so frightened that I quickly put down the bowl and asked extremely scared, "But I'm not dead, I'm still alive!" ”
Zhang Yao shook her head and didn't agree with my words, "Who said that you can't live if you're dead, you see I'm not alive too?" The last time your grandfather tricked me into entering your house, did he hold a spirit flag in his hand with the eight characters of birth written on it? ”
I was stunned, thought about it carefully, and nodded again and asked Zhang Yao what was wrong.
Zhang Yao blushed and said, "That's your birthday, if you don't die, why do you write your birthday on the spirit flag?" The spirit flag is a flag used to attract ghosts, and you can understand what I say, do you say you are a ghost? ”
This really confuses me, am I alive or dead?
But I'm not dead!
I still shook my head and denied Zhang Yao's idea, "No, I'm not dead." ”
Zhang Yao was very patient, knowing that I didn't believe it and continued to say to me, "Taoism has a saying of substitution, this is what I saw in my grandfather's book, the old blind man died strangely, your grandfather behaved strangely, and besides, your grandfather must know the method of substitution, could it be that your grandfather killed the old blind man and replaced the blind man's life for you?" You see that the Taoist priest just now saw that something was wrong with your grandfather, and now your grandfather has run out again, maybe he is going to set up a formation! ”
"Really? Don't scare me! "I never believed my grandfather would do such a thing.
Zhang Yao thought for a while, "Otherwise, if we go out and have a look, the formation will also use dead people to try to do it, if your grandfather goes to the old blind man, it will definitely be true." ”
