Chapter 009: Deathbed Words
I slept for a long time and had a long nightmare...
When I woke up again, I found myself in a dark room, with white candles lit on all four walls.
Grandpa, with his eyes closed, sat cross-legged in the center of the room, like an old monk who had settled down.
Overnight, he seemed to have aged more than ten years, his black hair had turned white, and his face was covered with ravine-like wrinkles.
I'm not dead... Grandpa didn't die either...
I pinched myself hard, it wasn't a dream... It's not a dream...
He sat up excitedly, although he was weak and could not exert any strength. But it feels really good to have escaped death.
With a nudge on Grandpa, he slowly opened his eyes... The moment he saw me, I felt his whole body tremble.
"You... You're finally awake... It seems that he has finally escaped this fate. As he spoke, his eyes turned red.
I grabbed my grandfather's hand and asked him why he had aged like this in one night. And what about Jian Ning?
Hearing me mention Jian Ning, Grandpa closed his eyes again, shook his head, and let out a long sigh.
I don't know why, but I thought of her desperate protection from me last night...
Tears poured out uncontrollably, the bespectacled sister... The Jian Ning who called me Xiao Xianggong is gone... The man who desperately tried to save my life... Gone forever.
Grandpa saw me crying so heartbreakingly, and told me that Jian Ning used his yang shou to seal Jian Ning's soul on my right hand before his soul flew away yesterday.
I raised my right hand and noticed that from my wrist to my shoulder, there were dense red tattoos.
Grandpa coughed violently as he spoke, his face turned pale, and he felt that a few words could seriously overdraw his physical strength.
I stepped forward to hold him up, only to find that he had coughed up blood.
I asked him what was wrong with him? He smiled wryly and waved his hand and said it was okay...
"Little cub, take my next word. You have to listen carefully. Grandpa grabbed my hand and said to me with a straight face.
"Little cub, I know you have a lot of questions on your mind. I'm going to tell you everything I know today, but there's a lot of things I still haven't figured out. ”
"Don't you keep asking who your parents are? I told you before that they were all dead... I lied to you. Now, child, I'll tell you about your background. ”
"Twenty years ago, our family had a strange disease. ...。 "Grandpa slowly told me about a past incident more than 20 years ago.
More than 20 years ago, a plague broke out in the village where my grandfather lived. Only Grandpa and his grandson were left dead.
When their grandfather and grandson were dying, a Taoist priest with a child on his back came to the village.
The Taoist priest found his grandfather, and he told him that there was a way to save them. But ask grandpa to promise him one condition.
The condition was that after the Taoist priest cured them, the grandfather's grandson was taken away by him. And the child brought by the Taoist priest should be brought by the grandfather.
People are always trying to survive in a near-death state, and it is better to be alive than to be dead. Grandpa agreed.
After the Taoist priest really cured his grandfather and his grandson, he also taught his grandfather some ghost raising techniques and the art of making marriage cards.
The reason why I taught my grandfather these is because the child he brought has a special personality, and every time the moon is full, this child needs to use the technique of yin and yang to export the yin qi in his body, otherwise the child will be invaded by the yin qi and die...
Because of the concealment, the Taoist priest taught his grandfather to make marriage cards. Put the yin qi in that child's body into the marriage card.
After that, the Taoist priest took away the grandfather's grandson and left the child he brought with him. The Taoist priest promised his grandfather that as long as the child he brought could live to be 20 years old safely, he would let their grandfather and grandson reunite when the time came...
Since then, the grandfather has treated the child as his grandson. The child that the Taoist priest brought was me...
Grandpa took care of me in every way for his grandson. It's really in your hand for fear of falling, and in your mouth for fear of melting.
However, when I was five years old, I still had a strange illness. Grandpa tried his best to save me.
Just when the grandfather was cornered, the Taoist priest appeared again, and this time he brought a little girl with glasses and a big red coffin
The Taoist priest told my grandfather to let the little girl stay with me, and my illness would naturally be cured. When I'm cured. Grandpa had to imprison the little girl in the coffin he brought, and then pass the anger and yin qi of the marriage card into this coffin.
Grandpa didn't know what the purpose of this was? However, the last bloodline of their Feng family was in the hands of the Taoist priest, and he could only do it.
The original 20-year deadline is coming soon. But he never expected that I would move his marriage card, and even let Jian Ning go... Thus this series of things happened.
Grandpa said this, panting, and his breath was gradually weakening.
I choked up and asked him, why did you use Yangshou to save Jian Ning and me.
Grandpa said that a puppy will develop feelings after 20 years. And for so many years, he has been secretly investigating his own biological grandson, and the Taoist priest at the beginning did not treat his grandson badly.
Grandpa also knows where his grandson is, but in order to keep the promise of the two... Grandpa never recognized his grandson.
At this point, Grandpa coughed violently, his body swayed back and forth, and he felt like he was about to faint.
"Grandpa... I know... You take a break first. Don't say so much. I wiped my tears and held him up. Looking at the way he looks, I really don't feel good in my heart.
Grandpa smiled, waved his hand at me and said, "I should have died 20 years ago... I stole these 20 years... What you owe must be repaid... You have to take care of yourself..."
"There's a box under my bed, and I left it for you... Inside there are... There is a letter... Follow the above... Take good care of... Myself... I know all that... I've told you all... The rest is up to you... Check it out... Investigate... Actually."
After Grandpa said this, he closed his eyes. His hand naturally drooped, and he kept the faint smile on his face...
I finally couldn't hold back the turmoil in my heart, hugged his corpse and shouted, "Grandpa..."
At this time, Hou Jie took the black shroud and pushed the door open. It turned out that when he came back last night, his grandfather explained to Hou Jie what happened after his death.
Hou Jie patted me on the back and told me to mourn... I took the shroud from Hou Jie's hand and helped my grandfather change it on...
According to his grandfather's confession, his future affairs are very low-key... Despite this, quite a few people came. These people have all received help from their grandfathers.
The funeral lasted for three days, and I didn't see Old Man Qi coming. Hou Jie told me that the police found his boss's body in Ping'an Village, but they didn't see the body of Old Man Qi.
It's as if he's just evaporated from the world... Grandpa didn't mention to me until he died, who is Gusheng?
After my grandfather's funeral, I went to my grandfather's room. Found the wooden box he was talking about.
In a large wooden box, there was a book, a stack of letters, and some magic weapons.
I slowly picked up the letter, which was apparently written by my grandfather before he died, and he wrote five full pages of it.
After reading this letter carefully, it made me feel even more depressed.
My grandfather told me in the letter that his grandson was at his current address, and asked me to take care of his funeral and go to him. Because, this series of things is not like an accident, but it seems that someone deliberately did it against me.
However, due to time constraints, he was unable to investigate. I immediately thought of the missing Qi Gusheng, Jian Ning had said before that Qi Gusheng wanted to kill me...
The second half of the letter is some of my grandfather's conjectures about my life experience. He said that every year on July 15, he receives an unsigned letter.
There was no content in the letter, just some money. Over the years, there have been 6 or 70,000 yuan one after another, and the grandfather has never touched these money.
In the end, my grandfather said that although he had escaped this time, he felt that it was just the beginning, and asked me to hurry up and meet his grandson...
