Chapter Twenty-Four: The Dead Man Asks for Directions
When I opened my eyes, I found myself lying on the bed at home, with a person I could no longer recognize, my grandfather. When I saw my grandfather, I was really going to cry. There were too many emotions in my heart at one moment, and there were too many doubts I wanted to ask my grandfather.
I just wanted to speak, but I felt weak. I opened my mouth to call Grandpa, but it was as if I had exhausted all my strength.
Grandpa said to me, "Don't talk yet, Grandpa knows that you have a lot of things to ask me, and after tonight, maybe you will know them all." ”
I looked out the window and it was already dark.
I asked my grandfather how long I had been unconscious, and he said, "It's been two days." ”
There seemed to be a ticking sound outside, and I asked my grandfather, "Is it raining?"
My grandfather didn't deny it, and I then asked him, "Has the Yellow River risen?" ”
Grandpa nodded.
But no, the second thing hasn't happened yet, why did the third thing happen in advance, and my pale face suddenly became more difficult to see. Grandpa asked me to drink more water and said, "Don't think about it too much, everything that happens has a certain reason." ”
I asked my grandfather weakly, "Grandpa, who is the enemy of our Zhang family?" ”
The second grandfather and uncle died one after another, and the grandfather himself was almost killed before, and now it's my turn......
Thinking about it makes people feel creepy, grandpa sighed, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, I could see that grandpa had a hard time and just wanted to speak. But at this time, a voice came from the door and said: "Zhang Yan has grown up, when are you going to hide it from him?" ”
Yuan Zhen walked in from the outside, and his loose clothes made Yuan Zhen look like a free and easy person. Yuan Zhen put his hair around his neck, and the whole person looked neat and neat.
When Grandpa saw Yuan Zhen coming, he got up and saluted Yuan Zhen.
Yuan Zhen waved his hand so that grandpa was not polite. Only then did the grandfather straighten his waist and say, "These days, I am grateful to my predecessors for taking care of my grandson." ”
Yuan Zhen said: "What are you doing with these kind words, Zhang Yan is now my apprentice, the inheritor of my lineage." You know, time is running out now, so don't talk nonsense, I have a few questions for you, and you answer them truthfully. ”
Grandpa hummed, just glancing at me.
Yuan Zhen said helplessly: "What else to avoid, he is about to be killed, there are some things you should know." ”
When Grandpa was told by Yuan Zhen, he seemed to think a lot, so he said to Yuan Zhen: "Please say, I will answer truthfully." ”
Yuan Zhen hummed and said, "Have you found the black bracelet?" ”
Grandpa shook his head and said, "There is no trace." ”
Yuan Zhen asked again: "Was that woman really buried alive by you at the beginning?" ”
Grandpa was silent for a while, and said yes.
The atmosphere became a little weird inexplicably, and Grandpa and Yuan Zhen looked at each other. Grandpa continued: "I can't help it, if I don't bury that woman, Xiaoyan can't survive at all, and that blessing can only be given to one person." ”
Yuan Zhen continued: "I also guessed that this was the case, but the woman's son was not simple, and he wanted to take away Zhang Yan's share of the blessing before. ”
As he spoke, Yuan Zhen's eyes fell on me, and his eyes became a little more complicated.
I listened to the two of them talking, and I listened in a fog.
Grandpa said: "I buried that woman in Turtle Ridge for 20 years, and the location of the burial was also the right place to occupy the right time, place and people, and the place where the prime minister returned from the East China Sea back then, at least there was a blessing, and she should have gotten it, but she still refused to let go of our old Zhang family." ”
Yuan Zhen smiled, you want to value peace, but others make a living by killing, I remember when I first met her, she was still a six or seven-year-old yellow-haired girl.
When Grandpa heard this, he was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "The seniors really have a good memory, I think when I met the seniors, I was only ten years old." ”
Lying on the bed, I listened to the conversation between the two, I was stunned, now I look at Yuan Zhen's appearance, but he is much younger than my grandfather, my grandfather actually saw him when he was ten years old, how old is Yuan Zhen?
Yuan Zhen said lightly, don't mention the past, let's talk about the current things first: "Did you find any traces of that woman waking up later?" ”
"There was no movement for the first 10 years, and the traces have become more and more evident in the last 10 years as her children continue to grow up. Haven't the seniors noticed it lately? ”
Yuan Zhen shook his head and said, "I already knew that when I went to the end, I was told to be merciful when the time came." ”
I became more and more confused when I listened, and I couldn't help but interject and ask, "Master, grandpa, who is the woman you are talking about?" ”
Grandpa told me not to interject.
Yuan Zhen said to me: "She is the eldest daughter of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, but she was later expelled from the Dragon Palace because of her mistakes, but over the years, she has changed her mistakes without knowing her mistakes. ”
I have seen the river god before, and I will hear the master talk about the daughter of the dragon king, and my heart is filled with huge waves, because our enemy is actually the dragon girl.
I looked at Yuan Zhen in surprise, and Yuan Zhen said, if you are robbed of that blessing by her tonight, you are not far from death.
Grandpa suddenly asked me, Xiaoyan, what about the girl?
I told my grandfather the truth. Grandpa didn't say anything after hearing this. Yuan Zhen suddenly said: "By the way, I will be a matchmaker and marry that girl to your grandson as a daughter-in-law, do you have no opinion?" ”
After hearing this, Grandpa was stunned for a few seconds, and then asked in surprise, "Is this okay?" ”
Yuan Zhen said: "What can't be. ”
When Grandpa heard this, he suddenly laughed and said, "I can't ask for it, I can't ask for it." As the grandfather spoke, he suddenly knelt down in front of Yuan Zhen and said, "Senior, I thank you on behalf of our ancestors of the Zhang family, and thank you for doing this marriage for my grandson." ”
Grandpa, this is really excited. Yuan Zhen hurriedly asked his grandfather to get up. If I hadn't been sick, my grandfather would have dragged me out of bed.
At this moment, a whining sound came again, and Yuan Zhen looked out and said, "It's already at the limit." ”
Grandpa sighed and said, yes! It's reached its limit, and the souls of the dead who are bound to the old locust tree may come out tonight. Yuan Zhen's eyes suddenly fell on me, and asked me: "Now that the old snake is entangled in the corpse, the Yellow River is rising, and the other thing, you haven't told me yet, has it happened?" ”
The other thing is that the dead ask for directions. I shook my head, indicating I didn't know.
Grandpa didn't understand what we were saying, so I explained. Grandpa asked Yuan Zhen directly if he knew him? Yuan Zhen shook his head and said, I don't know, I'm afraid he is an unborn person.
With a "clang", the door was blown shut by a gust of wind. The ugly voice also sounded in the courtyard, and the grandfather got up and said, "So soon, I can't help but send a crow to report the funeral." Grandpa walked outside and said, "Senior, I'll go for a while." ”
Yuan Zhen bowed slightly, indicating that it was good.
I quickly asked my grandfather, "Where are you going?" ”
Grandpa said, "Everything is up to your master, I'll go back as soon as I go." ”
But looking at my grandfather's expression, a bad premonition welled up in my heart, and I said to my grandfather, "You can take me with you." ”
Grandpa's face changed and became serious: "There's no time to talk nonsense." ”
The crows on the door were getting louder and louder, and grandpa went out in the rain, and I wanted to get off the bed, but I was held down by Yuan Zhen. Yuan Zhen said, "Wait, we'll stay in the past." ”
I asked Yuan Zhen, "When will you wait?" ”
Yuan Zhen said that when the woman came out, time passed by the second, but I became more and more nervous, I asked Yuan Zhen and said, my grandfather will be fine, right? Yuan Zhen said, life and death are fate, don't think about it. The crow that stopped at the door made a few more ugly calls.
Yuan Zhen said a word, noisy, waved his hand, and the crow fell to the ground silently.
The rain outside seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, Yuan Zhen made himself a cup of tea, tasted tea and watched the rain. From time to time, there is thunder and lightning.
I got dressed and tried to sit up.
But at this moment, suddenly there was a knock on the door, I turned my eyes to the door, and when I saw the person, I was stunned! Isn't this the second grandfather? For a moment, my heart was very tight, I got off the bed, Yuan Zhen grabbed me, and told me not to move.
Yuan Zhen looked at the second grandfather at the door and didn't say anything.
The second grandfather was standing in the heavy rain at this time, and was drenched in the rain and turned into a soup chicken, his face pale. He raised his hand and knocked several times in a row, and I called out to the second grandfather.
I thought that the second grandfather would not react, but he looked up at me with a blank gaze, and then asked me slowly, "May I ask where my soul has gone?" ”
When I heard this, I was completely stupid, and the dead man's asking for directions was fulfilled, and all three things were fulfilled.
My heart was beating faster, and a cold sweat broke out on my hands. Looking at the appearance of the second grandfather, a layer of goosebumps appeared all over my body, and I glanced at Yuan Zhen. Yuan Zhen nodded at me. I remember Yuan Zhen said to me and let me answer truthfully.
I held my breath, took a long breath, and said, "Second grandfather, your soul was brought to the underworld by the ghosts of the underworld. ”
After my words fell, the second grandfather let out a wooden sound, and then fell at the door of the house with a bang.
I want to go out and get the second grandfather in, after all, it is raining so hard, and I can't bear to see the second grandfather's body washed away. As soon as I left, Yuan Zhen said to me that it was time for us to go. Yuan Zhen didn't care about me after speaking, and pulled me to walk outside.
Walking all the way, I saw flocks of crows flying around, and the omen was very ominous.
Not long after we walked out, the rain stopped at once, and then I saw countless black shadows coming towards us from the old locust tree, and I knew it was a spirit.
And they are also carrying a red sedan chair, and the picture is a little weird.
Yuan Zhen said lightly: "She is here." ”
"Is the Dragon Lady here?"
Yuan Zhen hummed. I became a little nervous all of a sudden, seeing the sedan chair getting closer and closer, suddenly a nice female voice came, she said leisurely: "Uncle Yuan, I didn't expect that I haven't seen you for so many years, you are still as rich as jade, and your demeanor is still the same." ”
Yuan Zhen also laughed, it's rare for you to praise me once.
Listening to their conversation, my heart couldn't help but sink, my master is the uncle of the dragon girl? So what is their relationship.
Yuan Zhen seemed to guess what I was thinking, so he said to me, "Zhang Yan, haven't you always wanted to know what my identity is?" Then I'll tell you now. ”
