66: Grandma returns
From discovering the way to enter the dark room in the book, to meeting my grandmother in the dark room, and finding out that my grandmother is not dead, I am extremely excited and excited.
Ten oil lamps around the coffin were lit, and I thought that my grandmother would wake up when the oil lamps went out, and I was always looking forward to it.
Now, the oil lamp has been extinguished as desired, but the grandmother in the coffin seems to decay in an instant, becoming a skeleton.
If there was nothing in the coffin, I would still have hope that my grandmother would have woken up and left. But now, the bones in the coffin give me no hope.
I knew that the skeleton in the coffin was the grandmother I had seen earlier.
Because the skeleton was still wearing the clothes that Grandma had worn before, and there was no trace of outsiders around, it was certain that Grandma had indeed become like this.
Could it be that Uncle Qin found out about his grandmother and secretly made his grandmother like this?
Worry and fear, I panicked.
"It must be an illusion."
I didn't believe that my grandmother was gone like this, so I rushed out of the dark room like crazy, and then ran to the new house to find Xu Buhuo.
"What's wrong?" Xu Buhuo stared at me.
"Something happened to the old house, grandma she ......" I don't know how to continue, my heart is uncomfortable.
Hearing that something happened to my grandmother, Xu Bu walked outside, I hurriedly followed, and met two villagers who could not leave the village on the way, and they greeted Xu Buhuo when they saw him, wondering why they couldn't leave the village.
At this time, Xu Buhuo was not in the mood to deal with the villagers, so he threw down a sentence and entered the old house without knowing, and the villagers looked at me, but I didn't care about them, so I went into the courtyard and closed the door.
"How do you get in?"
Xu Buhuo stood at the entrance of the dark room and asked me, aware of the existence of a dark room, but he didn't know how to enter.
I immediately recited the steps, Xu Buhuo walked out a few steps and disappeared, and I hurriedly followed.
Next to the coffin, Xu Buhuo looked at the grandmother who had turned into a skeleton in the coffin, silent, from his face, I knew that I didn't see the illusion, and the coffin was indeed a skeleton now.
After being silent for a while, Xu Buhuo asked: "What happened before, what is the situation, you can talk about it well, don't leak it." ”
Thinking back for a moment, I started to tell from the steps I found in the book, Xu Buhuo listened quietly, and after he finished speaking, he fell silent again.
I didn't speak all the time, which made me very anxious, and I couldn't help but ask: "Old man, how can my grandmother be like this?" Shouldn't she be awake? Could it be that the old thing has done it? ”
"That's your grandma's arrangement."
Xu Buhuo didn't know what he found, so he explained to me: "Go home and get a hoe, call the three of them, hurry to your grandmother's grave in the back mountain, be quick." ”
Take a hoe and go to the grave, obviously to open the coffin.
On the way, I thought about Xu Buhuo's words: This is my grandmother's arrangement? I think again, is the grandmother in the dark room a trick?
In fact, there is no such thing as the two grandmothers I guessed before, her secret method is arranged here, but the real person wakes up in the coffin?
Hope grows, I rushed home, shouted to the three of them, grabbed the tools and rushed to the back hill in one go.
Xu Buhuo was already digging the soil by hand, and when he saw me arriving, he took the tools and planed hard.
Even though my throat was sore and my whole body was weak because I was running up the hill, I still gritted my teeth to help plan.
The soil was cut open, and Xu Buhuo pried the lid of the coffin open.
Inside the coffin, grandma was lying quietly.
Seeing this, I was nervous and apprehensive, and looked at Xu Buhuo to probe my grandmother's snort.
"Your grandmother isn't dead?" Cao Guangshan wiped the sweat on his forehead and asked me.
He was present on the night of grandma's death, and personally heard the forensic doctor conclude that grandma died of illness, and now we are in such a hurry to open the coffin, Xu Buhuo also probed grandma's snort, and the behavior seemed strange to him.
"Possibly."
I nodded apprehensively, I wasn't sure if my previous guess was correct before I got the exact result, but from Xu Buhuo's reaction, I felt that the facts and guesses were inseparable.
At this time, Xu Buhuo looked at me, and from his relaxed face and eyes, my heart was apprehensive. I know that grandma is really not dead.
"Go get some firewood, the more the better, and the dead grass." Xu Buhuo suddenly commanded.
We didn't know exactly what we were going to do to get firewood, but we hurriedly dispersed and picked up the dry firewood and other things that could be lit.
The firewood was not all piled together, but was placed by Xu Buhuo with his grandmother's grave as the center, mixed with dead grass in the middle, roughly forming a magic circle.
Then, the dead grass mixed in between the firewood is set on fire.
The people in the village who leave from the entrance of the village will appear in the back mountain, and on the way down the mountain, they will see us busy in the cemetery, and they will come up curiously. The village party secretary was among them, and when they met, they asked me why they couldn't get out of the village.
"I'm not a god, I know everything."
The village party secretary, who was about to continue to speak, was choked by my impatient answer, and his face was not very good, I was not in the mood to talk to him, so I came to Xu Buhuo's side and asked why this was the case.
"There's a little problem with your grandma's setup, and I'm working to revive her."
If there is a way, I waited quietly, and more and more people in the village appeared around, and they were upset with their chatter, and I said unceremoniously: "Let's all go back, there's nothing to see." ”
My words were like farting, and no one in the village took them seriously.
It seemed that seeing that I was deflated, Xu Buhuo walked up to the gathered villagers with a gloomy face and said, "Let's all go down the mountain, there's nothing to see here." ”
The village party secretary took the lead and said: "Mr. Xu, I know that you are a capable person, and you also know what happened in the village, we want to leave the village for a while, why did we walk out of the village and come back from behind?" ”
The rest of the village also helped, and I heard several people say that the village was not arranged for anything, so it was inseparable.
"I know a little bit about that." Xu Buhuo's voice raised, and then said: "After my investigation during this period of time, it has been determined that the previous accidents in the village were all related to Uncle Qin in your village, he secretly used evil magic to kill people, and those who died were killed by him, and now these things are also secretly arranged by him, and I am still investigating what to do." ”
At the mention of Uncle Qin, the crowd suddenly exploded, and they all said that Uncle Qin was not dead, how could he still do these things.
"He faked his death, and the stumps he found before were all cut off from others, and there is a secret passage under the bed in his house, and there is the remaining body of that person in it, you can go and see it." I'll be there to help.
The village party secretary obviously wanted to say something, but he turned around and went down the mountain after moving his mouth, and the panicked villagers were cursing Uncle Qin, which made me feel very comfortable when I heard it.
I can't fight him in terms of means, but I can make the people in the village hate him, although this move has a bit of a villain flavor, but I don't feel ashamed.
When the villagers were almost gone, they shouted at me to the grave and told me to get some blood out.
The wound on my middle finger had just formed a scar, and I gritted my teeth to tear the scar open, and blood was pouring out.
Xu Bu used my blood to write a mantra on the yellow paper, lit the yellow talisman and threw it into the coffin, walking around the tomb, and constantly drinking low.
"Huhuhu......"
The firewood that was not burning very vigorously around him suddenly burned violently as Xu Buhuo cast the spell, as if it was blown by a blower.
I was standing by the grave, and it stands to reason that the wood was burning so brightly all around me that I should feel the heat. In fact, on the contrary, I didn't feel the heat, I only felt the cold, and the cold seemed to come from my grandmother.
The biting coldness made me shrink into a ball, and when Xu Buhuo stopped, my hands and feet were already stiff.
The firewood burned clean, the cold subsided, and I got up and moved my hands and feet.
"Ahem......"
The grandmother lying in the coffin suddenly coughed lightly, and this sound was like an invisible hand pinching my heart tightly, and my whole body quickly warmed up because of the excitement.
In anticipation, Grandma slowly opened her eyes and sat up.
She looked at me at first glance with a gentle look in her eyes.
Subconsciously, I gave myself a slap in the face.
Even though I knew that the illusion brought by the Soul Eater Golem was not like a dream, and the pain would wake up, I did it subconsciously.
With Xu Buhuo's support, my grandmother crawled out of the coffin, and I stepped forward to hold her hand, my eyes moist.
Grandma's hands are not very hot, but I know that this is real grandma, grandma is awake.
"Meridian, how old are you still crying, go, go home first."
On the way home, I guess it was the happiest moment since I passed away.
When I arrived in the village, the villagers saw my grandmother and ran away screaming.
When I entered the house, my mother looked up and saw that my grandmother was visibly startled, but she quickly came back to her senses and, like me, burst into tears of joy.
The faces of the three fat men were full of doubts, although they knew that metaphysics was very mysterious and there were many things that were difficult to explain, but seeing the dead grandmother wake up with their own eyes, they still couldn't understand it for a while.
After drinking water and eating, after resting for a while, my grandmother's mental condition improved a lot, she pulled me to my side and held my hand, and said dotingly: "Ziwu, this time has made you suffer, I hope you don't blame grandma." ”
Grandma woke up, I naturally didn't care about anything, I held back the tears that wanted to burst out of my eyes, and mentioned that Uncle Qin had got the bronze key and had already started to sacrifice.
I don't know why, when I saw my grandmother wake up, even though Uncle Qin had already started to do it, I didn't have the slightest worry in my heart.
"Don't worry, I'm expecting it."
Grandma's answer immediately reassured me, and seeing that she didn't want to tell the specific plan, I didn't ask much.
While chatting, there was a sudden commotion outside the door, and the village party secretary led many people from the village in.
When they saw their grandmother, everyone's faces changed.
Everyone came, just to ask for an explanation, grandma stepped forward and said: "I faked my death before, the purpose is to expose the surname Qin, and the layout around the village is also controlled by him in secret, if you all believe me, then go home, what to do, don't want to go out of the village, remember, don't rush out of the village, especially after dark." ”
Grandma's prestige in the hearts of the people in the village over the years is much stronger than Xu Buhuo, and no one in the village said a word and left silently.
When the villagers were finished, the grandmother turned around and suddenly sighed weakly.
"Eldest sister, what's wrong?" Xu Buhuo asked.
"I hope they can be obedient and don't leave the village, after dark, whoever leaves the village will die."
