While I waited, I remembered again what my grandfather had told me about raising hungry ghosts. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

If Grandpa had been around at this time, I would have asked a little more carefully. But my grandfather never used his cell phone or phone, and now his hearing has deteriorated so much that even if I call my uncle and ask him to pick it up, I have to shout loudly to make him barely hear. I can't sit here and shout out those things about hungry ghosts, people passing by will think I'm crazy.

In addition, grandpa's memory is not very good now. I remember a lot of things he told me before, and when I bring them up now, he often asks, "Really?" Did I say that? ”

I nodded to confirm that he had indeed said that.

But he smiled, shook his head and said, "Why am I not impressed? ”

Every time this happens, I feel sad and don't ask anymore.

He waved his hand and said without hesitation: "Hey, people forget a lot when they get old." ”

Therefore, I try to minimize the previous things in front of him now.

With the mindset of giving it a try, I decided to give my mom a call first. Mom remembers a lot of things my grandfather said, and sometimes she knows a lot better than I do, because she had heard similar things more or less when she was younger. Even if she hadn't heard of it, the place where she lived before she was married was Thrush Village, and she was much more familiar with things there than I was. There are some things that Grandpa might know even if she doesn't say it.

With that in mind, I took out my phone and dialed my mother's number.

After the phone was connected, I asked, "Mom, let me ask you something." Grandpa told me about someone raising hungry ghosts, do you remember? ”

I was ready for my mother to say that she didn't know or to ask why she would say such a thing, but my mother said without hesitation, "I know." That person is still our relative. ”

"Or a relative?" I was surprised.

"yes. It's not very close, though. It is said that six generations ago, we shared a hall. Mom said.

"One hall" means that six generations ago were one family. In the past, there were many people and few houses, and when brothers became families, they could only divide the house into one bedroom, and several brothers shared a hall. Even when I was younger, this was very common. The names of various places in our hometown also come from this, such as in the big house, in the side room, and in the back room, and now there are dozens of families living in them, in fact, they are all bred by several brothers of the ancestors. The eldest lives in the big house, the second lives in the side room, and the eldest lives in the back room.

I thought that the person who raised hungry ghosts that my grandfather said was from somewhere else, but I didn't expect it to be from my grandfather's village.

"If she's still alive, you should call her Gannai." Mom said again.

"Why?"

"Your grandfather asked me to worship her godmother, do you think you should be called Gan Nai."

"When did she die? Why did she raise hungry ghosts? I asked.

"She died early, and I was only a teenager at the time. As for her raising hungry ghosts, everyone in the village knew that she thought her daughter was starving to death, so she went to the barren mountains and mountains to feed the hungry ghosts. ”

"Think? So her daughter didn't starve to death? ”

The mother paused and said, "This is a long story, she gave birth to a child before she got married." At that time, her family was ashamed, so they gave the newborn girl to traffickers. In order to cut off her thoughts of looking for her daughter, she said that she would be left to fend for herself in the mountain col. Originally, no one could bear to kill someone, so let her starve to death. ”
