Chapter 11: Marrying a Daughter-in-law
I told my grandmother what had happened in the past few days, and although my grandmother was angry with my grandfather, she had always felt sorry for me, so I put aside my resentment towards my grandfather for the time being.
Grandma then spoke, "Speaking of which, the girl's family is arrogant, and the last time I fought with Lao Tzu, I threatened to kill our family, and my temper is big, and I also checked the situation of their family below, and these little ghosts below shook their heads and refused to reveal half a point, I think the background of their family is not so simple." ”
Grandpa frowned and asked, "Didn't you run an errand down there, and you still can't speak?" ”
Grandma was also full of grievances, and when she saw my grandfather's face, she lost her temper inexplicably, and stretched out her fingers to scold my grandfather's head, "You are immortal!" Useless dog stuff! What the hell is it up there, it's like this! If Chen Tian has three longs and two shorts, I will fight hard with you! ”
"Yes, yes, what you said is right, wife, it's all my fault." Every time grandpa encounters this situation, he confesses and asks grandma to scold enough, and grandpa says that grandma's scolding will stop when she is tired.
Grandma scolded for a long time before stopping, sighed helplessly and said, "That family is definitely not from my side, those little ghosts don't say a word, they must be people from above." ”
I listened in a fog, but grandpa seemed to understand grandma's meaning, and quickly nodded and said, "I know, I'll deal with it and give you an explanation as soon as possible." ”
Grandma looked at grandpa angrily, reached out and grabbed grandpa's ear and shouted, "If you don't deal with it well, I'll pull you down to accompany me!" ”
"If you want it, if you want it, you can say whatever you want." Grandpa responded with a cowardly look on his face.
In the morning, my grandfather and I woke up one after another, and my grandfather's vomiting did not stop, because I had experienced, I quickly went to get the face wash for my grandfather.
After the grandfather cleaned up the vomit on his body, he quickly changed into clean clothes.
I asked curiously, "Grandpa, what is grandma doing down there?" ”
Grandpa smiled, "The old woman was a fierce woman when she was alive, and it's the same down there, people are afraid of evil ghosts, ghosts are afraid of wicked people, ghosts are people before death, your grandmother can bluff those little ghosts, Yin Si let her be the ghost king in this area, and manage more than a dozen little ghosts nearby, so when the girl's father and mother are looking for trouble with you, they first think of asking your grandmother to help." ”
I was quite surprised, I used to think that people die like lights out, and if they are gone, they are gone, but I didn't think that there would be a hole in the sky after death.
My grandfather told me that people have three souls and seven spirits, the soul returns to the sky, the form returns to the earth, and the soul does not disperse into ghosts.
However, my grandfather thought that these were a bit esoteric to me, so he didn't explain them to me, and I wanted to know more about them later.
I saw that my grandfather had changed his clothes and hurried his clothes, I also wanted to change, I went to the wardrobe to look for clothes, and just took out my shirt, grandpa yelled at me, "Which one allows you to change your clothes!" ”
I was stunned, looked down at the robe on my body, it was outrageously long, and it was inconvenient to walk, the villain wore the clothes of adults, and it was not comfortable to play anywhere, so I couldn't help but say, "Grandpa, this dress is uncomfortable to wear." ”
"You have to wear it if you are uncomfortable, you have to take off the robe and return it, you have to rely on the robe to see the city god now, if you don't want to live, you can take it off!" Grandpa frowned and glared, and when grandpa saw that I was nervous, he deliberately said to me, "If you want to take it off, take it off quickly!" ”。
When my grandfather talked about his life, he thought that Chenghuang really wanted to settle accounts with me, so I was naturally scared, and asked my grandfather, "Chenghuang is really coming to me?" ”
"Nonsense, that land lord is respected by the law, and he doesn't know how to change it, he will definitely report it to the City God Temple, and he will definitely come to arrest you for questioning in the next few days." Grandpa said.
I was afraid of death, and tears flowed out very uncontrollably.
Grandpa said coldly, "Crying a hammer, crying like a girl, and still want to please a wife?" Which one wants you! ”
I didn't think this was comforting at the time, but I felt that my grandfather was unreliable and his life was dying, and my grandfather still wanted to make fun of me by pleasing his daughter-in-law.
When I thought of this, I was even more sad and began to cry.
Grandpa looked at me with disdain on his face, and muttered, "Do you want to marry that girl?" ”
I quickly wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes and blinked at my grandfather, my face full of confusion.
Grandpa changed his face again, and laughed, "You just said you want to?" ”
"Yes!" I said it without even turning my head.
Grandpa nodded with satisfaction, "Then this can be done, if you marry that girl, her father and mother will be your mother-in-law and father-in-law, if you are killed, their daughter will be a widow, but our family will not lose, and we will pick up a daughter-in-law for nothing." ”
I was stunned, grandpa's expression was definitely not joking with me, he was serious.
After saying that, the grandfather went out, and when he came back in the evening, he was full of joy and took the contents of the box and made a spirit banner with his own hands, which was written on other people's birthdays, and the grandfather took the letterhead and wrote down a piece of paper.
Then the grandfather found a real silk ruler, gold and silver treasures, a piece of paper-paste leather, cotton, clips, and a single garment, two pairs of brocade boxes, and jewelry such as earrings, bracelets, rings, and hairpins.
I asked Grandpa what it was for, and he just laughed and didn't say anything.
I was vaguely worried, I don't know if grandpa is reliable in this matter.
Until midnight, my grandfather took me to the graveyard of the village next to us, carrying two boxes of things.
In the middle of the night, I followed my grandfather closely, holding a flashlight in front of me, not daring to look around.
In the past, I heard from the people in the village that the tomb land in the village next to us used to be a mass grave, and many people died of famine in those years, and everyone was buried there.
Old people often say that the dead here are heavy on the dead, and the yin qi is heavy, and there will be accidents.
Before I reached the tomb, I heard the sound of rustling behind me, a bit like the wind blowing on the leaves.
I was about to turn around when my grandfather suddenly stopped me, "Look ahead, walk well." ”
"Grandpa, there's a voice in the back." I whispered to my grandfather.
Grandpa didn't care at all, and said to me very calmly, "I know, you just have to go." ”
I sighed, didn't dare to ask more, and continued to follow my grandfather for a hundred meters.
But the voice behind me was getting louder and louder, and there were heavy objects on me, although I couldn't see anything, but I guessed in my heart that I was being targeted by dirty things, and when I was so scared that the urine was about to flow out, my grandfather suddenly said to me, "Did you memorize the book you asked you to memorize last time?" ”
I was stunned, "There are too many, I can't remember, I only remember one." ”
"Which one?" Grandpa asked.
"Golden Light Spell." I replied.
Grandpa smiled, "Back out." ”
"Heaven and Earth Xuanzong, Wan Qi Root. Extensive cultivation of ten thousand calamities, prove my supernatural powers. Inside and outside the Three Realms, only the Tao is the only one. The wisdom of the hole is thorough, and the five are soaring. The golden light appeared quickly, covering the real person, the light of the sky, the light of the earth...... "On the way to my back, I heard a sound of scattering before I finished reciting.
Grandpa also interrupted me suddenly, "Okay, don't carry it." ”
I was curious, so I asked my grandfather what was going on.
Grandpa laughed wildly twice, looked at me very proudly and said, "They are all lonely ghosts, they can only bluff people, but they are very timid, thinking that you are a practitioner and were scared away!" ”
Yes?
I was shocked, "Grandpa, it turns out that this thing is useless, it can only scare them?" ”
Grandpa reached out and knocked on my head hard, "Stupid donkey eggs, if you carry it well, it is real kung fu, you can carry it on your back, it's okay to deceive the little devils, but when you meet some big guys, your life is hard to protect!" After saying this, Grandpa saw that I was still in a state of confusion, and continued to laugh, "Did they hurt you?" ”
I shook my head, "No. ”
Grandpa continued, "That's not it, it's justified in the world, and if you're afraid of them, it doesn't mean you have to hurt them." ”
I nodded with a sigh of relief, as if I understood my grandfather's intentions.
Before I knew it, I arrived at the tomb, and I held a flashlight in front of me, and there were rows of wooden monuments, large and small, of different lengths.
Grandpa looked at it, then reached out and dragged me towards the grave on the other side.
The wooden tablet in front of the grave is engraved, "Zhangjia at the entrance of the village." ”
Grandpa pointed to the grave, "This is it, Chen Tian will take the handle, let's burn things to their house." ”
