When I heard the news, I couldn't accept it. Ermao on the other side of the phone had fallen silent, probably giving me time to relax.

"I see..."

sighed, people can't be resurrected after death, and Grandpa Zhou died at the age of eighty-six, which is not considered an untimely death.

"He's an old man enjoying his life, we should be happy for him, Ermao, don't be too sad." I said softly.

Ermao's voice over there paused slightly, and he raised his throat and said, "I understand the reason, but when my grandfather passed away, I was not around as a grandson..."

I understand what he meant, Tuesday Mao seems to be very aggressive, but he is actually a careful and filial person, and I can't say anything about this matter, the top priority is to go back quickly.

"You clean up, I'll pick you up in an hour." Ermao hung up the phone with a snap.

I was going to move my house and buy something for my mom, but now it seems that it is too late.

On Tuesday, Mao was very fast, and it didn't take an hour at all. A Volkswagen was parked in front of the apartment.

"When did you buy a car?" I tapped him on the shoulder.

Mao Gan laughed dryly, his eyes were red and swollen, and he looked like he had cried. It's not easy to do this, first Xia Zigui came out, and now that my loved ones have died, the world is impermanent, I don't know what to say.

If you say too much, you will lose, so I still didn't say anything.

"Recently, there was some money, so I went to pick up the car. I was going to use this car to block my mother's mouth, but it turned out to be this thing. ”

I didn't say it for too long, there was still waiting for us at home, and I didn't bother to call my mother, she probably expected Ermao to tell me something. has a mother with such a big heart, and she is also drunk...

Our small village is called Zhoujiadun, and the surname Zhou is basically in the village, and most of the foreign surnames have moved to the past, such as our family.

Compared with Zaolin Village, Zhoujiadun doesn't know how much better, cement roads, small western-style buildings, and even network cables can be pulled in. This is all due to the increase in grassroots construction in the city in recent years, such as when I was in college, it was still very closed.

"Zigui... She... At last... What happened in the end..."

Ermao still couldn't help but ask, I knew that this kid couldn't hold his breath.

"Went where she needed to go and stayed with the people she liked." I looked out of the car and concocted a perfect ending.

I don't know what happened to Dong Qingzhu, who is a monk, and I don't know if this kind of young master can get used to the poor life in the temple. In the end, I found that I thought too much, isn't this salty and eating radish lightly?

"I see!" On Tuesday, Mao said no more.

I thought about it for a moment, but my clenched fist still loosened, "Ermao, I've become the same person as my grandfather..."

His body paused slightly, and he smiled, "It's good, you kid has a bit of a magic stick, it's appropriate to do this business!" ”

In this situation, I didn't have the leisure to argue with him, "Remember when I told you about my pregnancy?" ”

Tuesday's body moved a little more, "Why are you talking to me about this now?" There's something to say, no matter what, I just listen to it. We're brothers, and I'm useless as a brother, but..."

"Then you might as well drive! High-speed too! I'm afraid something will happen, so I'll go home and sue you, but don't tell my mother yet. I admonished.

"Cheng, don't tell my mother about me."

There was nothing to say all the way, and on Tuesday Mao was also trying to drive the car as fast as possible, he wanted to see his grandfather as soon as possible, and I understood the heart of sending such a ride.

When I got home, it was already eleven o'clock, and there was a big wreath at the entrance of the village.

I didn't rush either, but when I got to his door, he stopped the car and there was a shouting from outside the house.

"Eighth Master Zhou, your eldest grandson is back!"

Immediately, a group of people came, and Ermao was put on a white hat and a white armband, and then he was surrounded by the door.

And I'm going to go home first.

"Mom? Mother? ”

I shouted a few times, it was my grandmother who came out, and the old lady was in good spirits, "Is it enlightened and returned?" Your mother went to Ermao's house to help. Let's show my grandmother if she's lost weight outside. ”

"No! Grandma, didn't grandpa come home? I asked.

"That old man, I don't know where to fool around, it's been a month, and I haven't come back yet!" Grandma said angrily.

I shrunk my neck and didn't dare to ask any more, the old lady was not young, but her combat effectiveness was extremely strong, and my grandfather was often scolded with his ears raised.

"Then I'll go directly to Ermao's side and get some food by the way."

"You have to do the etiquette over there, Zhou Laoba treated you as a grandson before his death, and you also went to do your filial piety." Grandma sighed and returned to the house with her hands behind her back.

I answered the call and rushed to Ermao's house, and when I looked at the wreath outside the house, it was not a taste.

"Be enlightened! Did you go back with Ermao? "It was Ermao's father who spoke, squatting on the steps and looking at me.

"Uncle Zhou, where is Ermao?"

"Crying inside! This kid..."The third uncle turned his head and looked, "You persuade him, let him cry less, don't cry badly." ”

When I walked in and saw the old man on the bamboo bed, I couldn't stop crying. On the first day I came back, I talked to my mother and stayed with Ermao for a day.

"Baba, there's something wrong with that corpse."

I was drowsy and woke up in an instant, "Something? What's the problem? ”

"It's not clear." Kirin muttered, "The situation is a bit special, maybe I'm wrong." ”

Since Qilin mentioned such a sentence, it must be targeted. From that day on, I kept an eye on it, and it wasn't until I stopped for two days that nothing happened, and my tense nerves relaxed a little.

Outside, there was a quarrel because of Grandpa Zhou's burial, Ermao's father said that he would be put into the coffin, but Ermao's uncle said that he would be cremated.

"The old man of the Song family said that my father must be put in the coffin and buried in the cave he ordered, otherwise something will happen to our family." Ermao's father said loudly.

"What age do you still believe in this?"

Ermao's uncle is more than five years younger than his father, I call him Uncle Tuesday, I heard that he is an intellectual, working hard in Xiangjiang, I heard that my old man drove the crane to the west, and rushed back overnight.

"Who of us doesn't believe in Old Man Song? Are you responsible for the accident? When in doubt, throw it out. Uncle Zhou shouted, not giving an inch.

Uncle Tuesday can't help it, it's not good to keep holding on to this matter, otherwise it may delay the burial of the old man. Now on a hot day, the Zhou family is only going to be mortuary for three days, and it will be buried tomorrow.

"Did the old man of the Song family say it? That's something to listen to. "The Taoist priest who presided over the funeral.

This piece of land has always been done by my grandfather, and others also like to invite my grandfather, but now that he is not there, the Zhou family can only invite Taoist Wu from the next village, and he is also one of the only two Taoist priests in Shili Eight Villages.

Speaking of limelight, naturally there is no comparison with my grandfather, about fifty years old, he does things decently, has a small reputation, and is also a reliable person, especially my grandfather has not taken on much work in recent years, I am not surprised that the Zhou family invited him to come.

"You mean the land at the end of the village?" It was the chief of our village who spoke.

"That's it." Uncle Zhou nodded, "Is there any problem?" I remember that my family bought the land very early. ”

"That land may not work, the county has set a target, and a power tower should be built nearby. I'm about to tell you about it! ”

Uncle Zhou is in trouble now, this matter can not be muddy, not to mention whether it can be hidden, if the tower is built, it is unlucky, and it is impossible for people to plan for a small tomb.

On Tuesday, Mao poked me with his elbow, but I really didn't understand anything about it, so I just kept my mouth shut.

"Otherwise, Master Wu will find another piece of land and let my father settle in the soil as soon as possible."

This is no way, and Uncle Tuesday doesn't care about cremation and burial, and in the end this matter is finalized.

"Enlightened, do you think this can be done? Why do I always have a bad premonition? Ermao glanced at the bamboo bed. His grandfather's face was covered with a book, and only his withered hands were exposed.

"I'm not good at this, I'm not a half-ass, that Wu Taoist is better than me, if only my grandfather was here."

This is equivalent to not saying it, he doesn't like to use mobile phones, and there is no news when he goes out, so my grandmother is so angry every time.

"Don't think so much, the burial can't be delayed." That's all I can say.

On the day of the burial, it was very lively, in the village, the old man who died called it a happy funeral, and the whole village had to set off firecrackers, and on Tuesday Mao held the portrait of his grandfather to the head, and I was in the funeral procession.

Until the end, nothing went wrong with the whole thing, maybe I was too careful. I sent Grandpa Zhou up the mountain, and I didn't rush to ask about that after I got home.

On the contrary, my grandmother was muttering, with a little worry, "That old thing has always calculated the time very accurately, why didn't he come back after Zhou Laoba passed away?" Nothing should happen! ”

"What can happen to my dad, why don't you just go back to the mountains this time?" My mom replied.

"Mom, what the hell did Grandpa do? The cemetery that my grandfather chose for the Zhou family is said to have been expropriated and replaced. I said casually.

"Bang!"

The porcelain bowl in my grandmother's hand fell to the ground, and apparently my grandmother didn't know about it. At that time, several elderly people were crying there, and my mother was afraid that my grandmother would hurt her body by crying, so she pulled my grandmother back.

"Zhou Laoba's grave has changed?"

I nodded woodenly, "It's changed, and then it was Daoist Wu from the next village who found the land." ”

"Daoist Wu is also a bit of a Taoist, I hope I am too careful." Grandma muttered and looked out of the house.

My mom looked at me without saying a word, and then went into the house, not saying anything about it. I could tell she didn't want to ask about it.

"Kirin, my grandfather must know something, so he made preparations, but what's the problem?"

"Baba, rest assured!"

Early in the morning, before dawn, my mother slammed the door of my room. I'm in a groove, and I can't sleep peacefully when I go home? Didn't they all call at eight o'clock before? It's just before six o'clock!

"Mom..."

"Enlightened, something happened to Ermao's family." My mother said urgently, "You hurry up and go to his house to have a look, Zhou Baye just sent it, and it's not easy for us women to come to the door." ”

"What the hell is going on?" I was amazed, I was really afraid of something. I'm almost Conan, and something will happen wherever I go.

My mother's voice suddenly lowered, "I heard that Zhou Baye is back..."

I didn't care about packing up, so I ran to Ermao's house in slippers. What about this Nima teasing me? Grandpa Zhou was buried with my own eyes, and he was nailed with eight town coffin nails. Tell me about it? My first thought was unbelief, and my second thought was bad.

When I got there, his house was already full of people, all chattering that the village was busy with farming, and it was necessary to do things early.

When I got inside, my eyes almost didn't pop out!

There is a person falling on the door beam of Ermao's house, his feet are hanging in the air, who is it not Grandpa Zhou? You can see that his face is blue and white, and corpse spots are beginning to grow on his bare skin, but his expression is extraordinarily peaceful, even if he hangs on it, his mouth does not open.

The people of Ermao's family and his uncle's family all knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously, and Ermao's father kept reading it in his mouth, wanting to ask Grandpa Zhou if he had any unfulfilled wishes.

"Which one is the eighth master making trouble this week! His two sons are filial! The daughter-in-law is also sensible, she eats a lot and wears a lot, why is he coming back to toss and toss? ”

"Isn't it? O iniquity! Even if you die, you won't be able to live in peace. ”

"Let's let, let's let! Daoist Wu is here, let Jean! There was a commotion outside, and the crowd immediately got out of the way.

Uncle Zhou hurriedly got up, "Daochang Wu, Daochang Wu, what's the situation here, my dad... My dad he..."

When Daoist Wu saw the hanging corpse, his face was also extremely ugly, and he was even a little shocked, "Who found this corpse?" ”

"I, I was about to get up and pee, but when I saw a shadow at the door, I just... I just came out and took a look..."Tuesday Mao answered, this kid was not lightly scared.

"I'll just talk about cremation, you still haven't listened, now something has happened!" Tuesday's uncle's mouth trembled, and everyone in the Zhou family was speechless.

"Cremation, cremation is not allowed! It's good that there was no cremation, otherwise something would have happened! Daoist Wu jumped to his feet and said, "It's the first time I've seen your father's situation, but there must be resentment, if you are cremated, your family will never have peace." ”

Uncle Tuesday was speechless for a moment, originally he could still use some feudal superstition to say things, but his father hung the door beam, this matter is so tight, what scientific explanation can be used?

"Also, there's an extra pair of shoes on the floor."

Ermao's voice fell, I looked on the ground, there was really a pair of shoes, or a pair of black shou shoes, neatly placed under the corpse, just now I only paid attention to the corpse, I didn't see it.

When I looked up again, I found that Grandpa Zhou still had a pair of shoes on his feet, which were a pair of exquisite blue-black cloth shoes, embroidered with two mandarin ducks playing in the water.

Mainly, when he was buried, the pair on the ground was worn on Grandpa Zhou's feet and entered the coffin with him! This mandarin duck cloth shoe... What the heck...

"I know, I know these shoes." Uncle Zhou suddenly exclaimed, "My father's most precious pair of shoes is often taken out, but he never wears them." But... Didn't these shoes burn with those relics? ”

Hearing this, the faces of Ermao's family turned white...
