Chapter 09: Grandma dies suddenly
Before rushing through the door, I was still wondering why the village chief was yelling.
But when I rushed through the door and looked, I felt a buzz in my head, like it had exploded.
At the entrance of the hall, my grandmother was lying on the ground, motionless.
Seeing that I was coming, the village chief hurriedly explained before coming in, and grandma was like this.
When I came back to my senses, I hurriedly rushed to my grandmother's side, pushed my grandmother's body, and found that her body was already hard, and it was black when I buzzed in front of my eyes.
When I woke up, I was lying on my grandmother's bed, and it was very noisy outside.
The police were already investigating the scene, and there were a lot of people who had been awakened outside the old house, and when they saw me coming out, their faces changed, some were scared, and some were full of pity like the village chief who looked at me before.
I subconsciously touched my face, and then I remembered that I didn't cover the birthmark on my face with gauze because I was the only one in the village head.
My mother sat slumped aside and saw that I was awake, and hugged me tightly and cried.
After that, a policeman looked at me, and I told me what had happened before I entered the door, and when I asked what was going on, the policeman said that he had died of a heart attack.
Hearing this, I shook my head and said that it was impossible, and I didn't believe that this could be the reason.
In my consciousness, my grandmother has always been in good health, just like she gave me the courage before, and she can still jump around on the magic circle, how can she suddenly get sick. Just like Mrs. Wang, the investigation results also said that she was sick, but the truth was not.
No matter how I explained, the police didn't believe me, and when they left, the villagers came up to comfort my mother and me, while the village chief called out to a few people to temporarily build a mourning hall in the hall.
Looking at my grandmother's body lying on the wooden board, I still couldn't accept for a moment that she had just left, and she didn't even have time to say a word to us before leaving.
At this time, the people in the village didn't know where they had already known about the corpse of Mrs. Wang, and came up to ask me if I was scared to death by Jiang Yan, and said that my grandmother might be the same as Mrs. Wang, and she was also killed by Jiang Yan, after all, she did it to Jiang Yan again, and now that Jiang Yan is back, it is obvious that she wants to continue to retaliate.
Thinking that my grandmother might have been killed by Jiang Yan, I was so angry in my heart, I couldn't wait to find Jiang Yan and her immediately.
After sitting in the hall until the next morning, the village chief came to me and asked me if I would be able to do my grandmother's skills and find someone from other villages to preside over the burial.
For a long time, the dead people in the village were presided over by grandma, but I didn't expect it to be her turn this time. After I shook my head, the village chief said that he knew a high-ranking person, and he could ask him to help deal with the burial matters, and by the way, he also asked him to deal with the affairs of the princess.
This is the only way to do now, and after the village chief left, I walked into my grandmother's hall.
There are three rooms in the old house, one grandmother rests on weekdays, one puts some incense and candles and sundries, and the other room is the reading hall, where grandma helps people watch their lives and ask God and so on.
In the reading hall, I often came when I was a child, and then I basically didn't come to the town to study, the light was very dim, I walked in small steps, thinking if my grandmother really died of illness, or did Jiang Yan intervene?
Seeing that the futon on the ground was a little messy, I bent down to clean it up, and I knew that as soon as I took a futon away, a piece of paper appeared underneath, and there were many words on it.
I took a closer look and found that the beginning was my nickname Meridian, so I hurriedly took it outside to see.
Looking at the content of the letter, I immediately felt that this matter was related to Jiang Yan, and my grandmother obviously knew that she was going to die, and explained in the letter how I should deal with her burial.
Grandma confessed that she didn't need to be buried in the soil after she died, and carried the white coffin that she bought back to me to put it in the old house, and then put the soul lamp in front of the coffin, and took out the black lamp oil under the altar in the reading hall.
At the same time, grandma seemed to know who the village chief was going to invite, so I asked me to wait for the village chief to invite that person, and then say a word to him, and he would deal with the matter of Mrs. Wang and Jiang Yan.
After reading the letter, I was a little confused, and after reading it several times, I still didn't find anything before I found my mother, who was busy with her work, and after reading the letter, she said, "Just do what your grandmother said." ”
Letters, I feel indescribably strange, but I can't say what's weird.
When I went to the new house to carry the white coffin, I took the lead in pushing it open to see the stand-in inside, and as before, the stand-in was still cracked into several petals. This situation made me know that I still haven't been able to get it back.
I can't care so much about what happened.
After putting the grandmother in the white coffin, the mother informed the villagers who had come to pay their respects. Because of some unspeakable reasons, our family does not hold a funeral for my grandmother for the time being.
It is very uncommon in rural areas to not hold a funeral when people die. However, due to the identity of the grandmother, the people in the village thought that most of them had some taboos, so they didn't say much.
In the evening, the village chief came back with the invited master, a mustachioed old man who had just reached my shoulder, looking like he was drunk and hadn't woken up yet, pretending to be half-dead, surnamed Xu, I subconsciously gave him a name: Xu Buhuo.
Entering the house, there was obviously incense next to it, but Xu Buhuo was useless, he took out three black incense sticks from the cloth bag around his waist, did not light them, and bowed three times in all directions, and inserted them in front of the coffin.
The black incense, worshiped and not lit, the first time I saw it, I couldn't figure out why Xu Buhuo did this, so I whispered to him if he knew his grandmother.
Xu Buhuo didn't answer my question, but stared at me and said, "Your grandmother is very good to you." ”
I don't know why Xu Buhuo said this, because my grandmother has always been very good to me, but his words and eyes feel like there are words in my words, but I don't really understand them.
"Eighteen turns and nine turns, don't die halfway."
I don't know what I mean, but as soon as I finished speaking, the corners of Xu Buhuo's mouth trembled obviously, and he turned his head to look at the white coffin, and muttered something in a low voice.
I wanted to ask what "eighteen bends and nine turns, don't die halfway" meant, but I couldn't help but say it.
When Xu Buhuo came back from his daze, I found that his whole person suddenly seemed to wake up from sleep, and he was in a lot of energy, and told me in a serious tone that he would not be able to live in the next seven days, and he needed three big cocks and a big black dog here.
The rooster and the black dog came to him, and Xu Buhuo asked the village chief to kill and take blood.
The blood of the rooster and the blood of the black dog were mixed together, Xu Busheng went to the Nian Hall and took out the incense ash and fell into the blood, and then asked me to take him to the graveyard in the back mountain, and grabbed a handful of dirt on each grave.
Doing this, I couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Xu, what's the use of engaging in these things?" ”
Xu Buhuo sighed and asked me, "Didn't your grandmother teach you this?" ”
Seeing me shake his head, he smiled and said, "You'll know when the time comes, now remind you, it's best to be mentally prepared, the next seven nights will not be very peaceful." ”
It's okay if he doesn't say it, but when he says this, I can't help but be nervous.
On the way back, I asked about Mrs. Wang, who didn't know where to go, Xu Buhuo said that she didn't care, and she came out in the evening. Seeing that he didn't take Mrs. Wang in his heart at all, the tension in my heart couldn't help but relax, thinking that he could clean up Mrs. Wang.
Returning to the old mansion with the grave soil, Xu Buhuo poured the grave soil into the mixed blood and began to stir, making the mixture very viscous and turning into blood sludge, and then he touched the blood mud on the ground around the coffin.
After arranging, it was obviously a magic circle.
Then, Xu Buhuo took the firewood knife and went out, I was about to follow, he suddenly turned his head and looked at me coldly and said, "You have lost three spirits, it is better to have a good rest, you can't sleep at night." ”
Lost three spirits?
Hearing Xu Buhuo's words, I was stunned in place, my whole body was cold, I didn't expect to lose another soul at all, and I couldn't figure out when the third spirit was lost.
I only lost two souls before, but now I have lost another one.
I thought again, is Jiang Yan really as I thought, ready to seduce me one day?
Grandma was here before, and I didn't panic yet.
Now, looking at the coffin next to me, I couldn't help but shudder all over.
I really want to find Jiang Yan and ask her why she is doing this to me?
Waiting, forever fearful.
Faced with this situation, I prefer to come faster.
