Chapter 34: Spoken Language
Zhang Yao was already taller than me, and it was almost torture for me to carry her.
At that moment, I really regretted that I was a little baby, and if I had grown taller, I wouldn't have felt so hard.
Girls grow faster than boys, not to mention that I'm only eight years old.
The three of us walked back, and along the way, I almost dragged half of Zhang Yao's body to the ground, and then my grandfather couldn't stand it anymore, and looked back at me and counted down, "Stinky boy, according to your method, when your daughter-in-law's body returns to our house, your feet will be worn out, how can you borrow the corpse to revive the soul?" ”
I was holding back my emotions at the time, and I became more and more resistant, and then I couldn't help muttering, "Grandpa, why don't you carry it, I can't carry it in the first place, and she is much taller than me!" ”
Grandpa smiled and said, "Lao Tzu is old, she can't carry people, she is your daughter-in-law, you must be carrying it!" ”
I know that grandpa did it on purpose, where he couldn't carry it, such a heavy coffin lid, he lifted it with one hand, Zhang Yao's body was not worth mentioning at all, it was clear that grandpa just didn't want to carry it, and deliberately asked me to carry it.
Seeing that I was not happy, Grandpa spoke again, "Your brain was kicked by a donkey!" You don't know, men and women don't kiss, she is my granddaughter-in-law, Lao Tzu should keep his distance, so as not to be scolded by your grandmother poking her backbone! ”
I just reacted, and after a long time, my grandfather made me tired and tired because I was afraid that my grandmother would be jealous.
But when grandpa said this, I can understand grandpa's approach, because when grandma was alive, if a woman came to the door to ask for help, grandpa would look at grandma's face and act, as long as it was not a life-saving thing, grandpa would not touch it, for fear that grandma would be angry.
There was a woman in the village who didn't go home for a long time because her man went to the town to buy things, and the woman had nowhere to go, so she happened to see my grandfather and wanted to ask my grandfather to let her into the house to rest.
As a result, the grandfather was afraid that his grandmother would be jealous, so he went back to the house and brought two small benches and put them on the village field, one stool for the woman to sit and rest, and the other stool with a bowl of water, so that she could sit there and drink water and rest.
At that time, many people in the village accused my grandfather of being unreasonable and let people sit alone outside, saying that my grandfather did not understand human feelings and did not pay attention to etiquette.
But grandpa said that grandma is not in the house, and women can't be allowed to enter, otherwise grandma will be angry, this is a matter of principle, and it is better to let others be wronged and let themselves be infamous than let grandma feel the slightest sadness.
Finally we got back to the house, and my grandfather quickly found a wooden plank to put in the backyard, because the back door of my house was an open space, and next to it was my grandmother's grave, and no one could see it here.
Grandpa thinks that it is most appropriate to leave Zhang Yao's body here so that no one will see it.
Zhang Yao's body rested on the wooden plank, motionless, but it looked as if it was asleep, not like a dead person at all.
Grandpa looked at the corpse and pondered for a long time, then turned back to Zhang Yao and said, "Daughter-in-law, do you know how to cook?" ”
Zhang Yao was stunned and nodded blankly, "A little." ”
Grandpa smiled all over his face, "Your man and I are very hungry and have no strength to cook, you can help us cook some food, your man is growing his body, you can do more." ”
Zhang Yao nodded, and walked in the direction of the stove room extremely well-behaved.
Grandpa and I have lived together for a long time, and I can guess why.
He did this intention, obviously to support Zhang Yao, and he had a separate word to say to me.
Grandpa looked at Zhang Yao and made sure that she had entered the stove room, then he looked back and said seriously, "The matter of this little girl is a bit strange, if it weren't for someone doing it, this corpse would not have been preserved so well." There must be something strange behind this girl, her father asked our family to borrow the corpse to return the soul, I'm afraid it's a trap. ”
I thought about it for a long time, Zhang Yao can borrow the corpse to return the soul, what trap can he have?
"Grandpa, I don't understand, is it something bad?" I'm confused.
Grandpa said to me secretively at this time, "No matter what kind of trap, it won't hurt you kid anyway." ”
I looked at the expression on my grandfather's face, a little treacherous, and very curious, "What good?" ”
At this time, Grandpa turned his face again, and said extremely seriously, "Children's families, don't ask too much, you will know the reason when you grow up." ”
People are curious, and the more they don't say it, the more curious they become.
"Grandpa, why can you only grow up, can't you do it now?" I kept asking.
Grandpa's eyes stared at my crotch at this time, and the corners of his mouth were raised with a slight hint of ridicule, "Lack of stamina, lack of heat, and still have to develop, now it will definitely not work." ”
I really didn't understand my grandfather's words, "So when am I going to do it?" ”
Grandpa's eyes were meaningful, and he said with a smile, "When you urinate more than three feet one day, it is farther than Lao Tzu's pee, and it is not a bad thing." ”
I was ashamed at this time, my grandfather was laughing at me, and nodded in embarrassment.
After speaking, Grandpa looked at Zhang Yao's corpse a few times, frowned, and remained silent.
Grandpa took me back to the house and sat at the table waiting to eat.
Zhang Yao will cook porridge and back pot meat on the leftovers of the house, and my grandfather and I have a lot of fun, after all, since my grandmother left, I taught my grandfather how to cook, but my grandfather cooked clear soup with little water, for me, there was no taste at all, and the reason why my grandfather ate less was because he couldn't eat what he made.
But my little daughter-in-law's cooking skills are very good, my grandfather only eats half a bowl of rice on weekdays, and today he surprisingly added three bowls of rice, and he ate cleanly.
Zhang Yao lay weakly beside us, looking at us extremely uncomfortably, as if she was seriously ill.
Grandpa came back to his senses and looked at me, "Stinky boy, go and light some incense and candles for her, your little daughter-in-law's soul is almost unbearable." ”
I didn't understand what was going on at the time, so I quickly lit the incense candle and brought it to Zhang Yao's side, and Zhang Yao smelled the incense candle before he eased up a little.
Grandpa said, "I almost forgot, your little daughter-in-law is a dead person after all, suitable for staying in a place with heavy yin, there is too much yang energy in the stove room to cook and cook, yin and yang are mutually restrictive, ghosts are yin, and if you don't pay attention, it is really possible for the soul to fly away, only after she borrows the corpse to return to the soul and then consider the matter of making a fire to cook." ”
However, Zhang Yao's appearance still didn't look very good, and my grandfather asked me to take off the jade pendant and wear it directly on her.
"Isn't this jade pendant for her?" I asked curiously.
Grandpa said in a calm tone, "People raise jade for three years, and jade raises people for a lifetime." Jade in addition to heat, moisten the heart and lungs, nourish hair, nourish the five organs, requiem, soothe the blood, clear ears and eyes, your little daughter-in-law now needs the most is requiem, this jade trace elements help, before your grandmother left the bracelet has not been worn by a living person for a long time, naturally lost the original effect of jade, but if it is a light jade, it becomes a magic weapon, not only to ward off evil spirits, but also to destroy ghosts. ”
Jade can raise people and ghosts, so my grandfather asked me to give the jade pendant to Zhang Yao to wear, which is also right.
Grandpa saw that Zhang Yao was not very good, so he asked her to go to my house to rest first.
My grandfather and I were sitting outside with a small bench, and my grandfather and I were talking about reviving Zhang Yao's soul, when a figure suddenly walked in front of us.
My grandfather and I came back to our senses at the same time and looked at each other, this person is the land master we have dealt with before surnamed Zhang, why is he here?
I suddenly found out that Zhang Hao, Zhang Yao, and the land lord surnamed Zhang are all the same surname, and it seems that our family can't get along with the surname Zhang.
He stepped forward and came to me and my grandfather, he looked at my grandfather, suddenly made a salute, and said in a calm tone, "Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable." ”
I was stunned for a moment, not understanding what it meant, "What is this talking about?" ”
Grandpa smiled happily, and replied to the land lord with reason, "Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable." ”
"Grandpa, what are you talking about? Is this a code? "I can't understand their behavior at all.
Grandpa frowned, looked at me helplessly and said, "Stinky boy, you really don't want to understand anything!" You can understand the way the Daomen colleagues greet each other, which means that it is a verbal phrase like "Ouch I fuck" anyway. ”
I was stunned, ouch, fuck me? Is it the explanation of the Blessed Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable? Grandpa, is this serious?
