I grew up with my grandfather.

Grandpa is a professional corpse digger, the news says that corpse diggers often "ask for a price for corpses", it is absolutely impossible to say that there is none, but my grandfather has never done this, grandpa is a well-known good man by the Yellow River, the asking price has always been fair, and when he encounters family difficulties, he still does not take anything.

People in the same village said that the grandfather was stupid, and the corpse was originally begging for food from the mouth of the "river god".

In fact, I don't agree with my grandfather's approach, people in the same village all rely on picking up corpses to make a fortune, building buildings, buying houses in the city, and getting rich in life. Sometimes our grandfather is so depressed that he eats chaff vegetables, and he doesn't want other people's money.

So everyone in the village scolded Grandpa for being an old fool and I was a little fool.

On this day, my grandfather was wearing a tattered cotton jacket and a pipe in his mouth, and his expression was different and a little absent-minded. I asked my grandfather if there was anything going on.

Grandpa snapped his mouth, glared at me, and said, "You know what, I have something to do at night, and you can make your own food at home." ”

After grandpa finished speaking, he walked out with a step, until it was dark, the weather turned cold, and it rained not long after, grandpa had not come back, and I made my own food. Halfway through eating, there was a knock on the door outside, and I thought it was my grandfather coming back, so I ran to open the door.

When the door opened, it was a girl, dressed in a black dress, her hair and feet were wet, but only this one was very shiny in the light.

The girl's face was very ruddy, but her lips looked dark blue, and the key was that she was barefoot.

I was stunned for a few seconds, and then quickly stepped forward to welcome the woman in.

I asked her if there was anything wrong? Ordinary people come to us for nothing but to collect corpses. I saw that this girl was embarrassed like this, and I guessed in my heart that something had happened by the Yellow River.

She looked up at me, and said in a cold voice, "Is Zhang Guode here?" ”

Zhang Guode is my grandfather's name, I heard her call her grandfather's name, I knew that she might have heard her grandfather's name, after all, the old fool's nickname is not called in vain, and it is estimated that he is a master who has no money.

"Miss, my grandfather will be absent at this time, you can tell me if you have something."

The corners of her mouth curled up and said, "A few days ago, when I was playing by the Yellow River, I dropped something and was picked up by your grandfather, so I came over today to get it." ”

I was stunned for a few seconds, and I didn't hear my grandfather mention it to me, so I asked her what it was.

She gestured to the room and said it was the one. I turned my head to look and saw a black bracelet hanging on the wall, which was also the first time I had seen it, so I didn't think much about it, I took it and gave it to the girl, she got the bracelet, turned around and left without saying anything.

I watched her back in fascination.

But I didn't think about it deeply, I finished my meal, took a bath, and went to sleep.

Until the next night, Grandpa still didn't come back.

I asked people in the same village, and they all said that they didn't know where my grandfather had gone? I can't help but become a little worried, although grandpa is an old man, but he is also afraid of capsizing in the gutter, not to mention, it rained so heavily last night, grandpa should not go to the Yellow River, can't come back.

I also wanted to be more anxious, so I quickly told the second grandfather about the matter, and after the second grandfather heard it, he scolded me, I was raised by a son of a bitch, why didn't I say it earlier.

I said that it is useless to talk about this now, it is important to find someone. It was dark, we took a flashlight, looked for the traces of our grandfather by the Yellow River, and after looking for half an hour, we suddenly saw a bamboo raft floating out of the middle of the Yellow River.

I saw my grandfather lying on the bamboo raft, his face was sallow, his eyebrows were black, and the second grandfather reached out and touched it under his grandfather's nose, and immediately stumbled backwards in fright. When I saw that the second grandfather reacted like this, my heart sank, couldn't it be that my grandfather died.

I wanted to step forward, but the second grandfather suddenly stopped me and said, "Don't come here, I'll carry your grandfather back first." ”

When I got home, I tested my grandfather's breathing, and. Grandpa has done so many good things in his life, how can a good person not be rewarded.

But seeing grandpa like this, the situation is very bad, I asked the second grandpa, what's wrong with grandpa?

He sighed and didn't say anything. just stared at the grandfather with a distracted gaze, and then the second grandfather persuaded the onlookers to go back.

The house became quiet for a while, the second grandfather looked solemn, he looked at me, the second grandfather is the village chief, and he still has some status in the village. He quickly moved his gaze to the bed and said, "Brother, I have always advised you, when you are old, don't do this business of collecting corpses, you always don't listen, now retribution is coming." ”

I said to the second grandfather: "Second grandfather, it's useless to say this now, the key is to find a way to save grandpa." ”

The second grandfather coughed and said, "Xiaoyan, there is no one else here, I will tell you, your grandfather may have offended the river god and is now being asked for his life." I'm afraid I won't survive. ”

That is, after the second grandfather finished speaking, my sleeve was suddenly pulled down, I turned my head to look, and found that my grandfather's eyes were open, and I was surprised and happy. Hurriedly asked Grandpa what was wrong?

But the second grandfather asked my grandfather anxiously: "Brother, did you encounter anything unclean by the river?" If you can still talk, tell me now. ”

But Grandpa opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

"Brother."

"Grandpa......"

Looking at grandpa's appearance, it was really distressing, and after a while, grandpa shouted a sentence: "Xiaoyan, find that woman and get the black bracelet back." ”

Then my eyes closed, my body straightened, and I stopped moving, and I tried it with my hand, and I couldn't breathe. The second grandfather also hurriedly tried it, paused for a few seconds, and then said, "Xiaoyan, your grandfather should be dead." ”

I said how is it possible, grandpa is not dead, he still spoke just now, and he was talking about women...... Woman, I muttered, and suddenly, I thought of the girl who came to me two nights ago, could it be that grandpa's death had anything to do with that woman? And the bracelet, isn't that bracelet the woman's?

The second grandfather sighed and said, don't talk about anything else, Xiaoyan, your grandfather has already left, let's change into a shroud for him first.

After the death of the old man in the countryside, it is generally the son or grandson of the old man who changes into a shroud for the old man, and the grandfather of the shroud has long been ready, I don't know if he himself expected that there would be such a day.

I looked out and wanted to go to the woman, but that was not realistic. Grandpa is gone, so I have to endure the doubts in my heart for the time being.

First, I helped my grandfather wipe his body, and when I was wearing a shroud, I suddenly felt that my grandfather's chest seemed to be still beating. I was blindfolded for a few seconds, knowing that when people die, their breathing stops and their heartbeats stop. So after a person dies, how can there still be a heartbeat, isn't grandpa dead?

I hurriedly ran to call the second grandfather, who was running for his grandfather to prepare for the funeral.

When I told him what had happened, he ran over, and when he touched it, his face changed and he looked incredulous. He muttered, "Are you really not dead?" ”

I said to the second grandfather, hurry up and find a way to save grandpa.

The second grandfather was silent for a while, and said, "I'm afraid this matter can't be solved by the doctor, so I have to find Duangong." ”

It was almost twelve o'clock, and I went to Duan Gong with my second grandfather, who was about sixty years old and blind in one eye. He came to Grandpa's bedside, and I begged him to save him.

He said to do his best, and after watching it for a while, his face changed, and he said, "This is a little ghost who hooked your grandfather's soul and prevented the soul from going on his body." ”

When I heard Duangong say this, my heart was a little more stable, grandpa was still alive.

The second grandfather asked, "Is there still salvation?" ”

"There is salvation, there is salvation, but there is some trouble. The little ghost hooks the soul, I'm afraid that I want to borrow the corpse to return the soul! Duan Gong groaned and said.

"Li Duangong, even if the baby and I beg you, we must save his grandfather. Although he has done a lot of foolish things, he has never done anything bad. "I also followed the second grandfather to ask for Duangong.

Duan Gong waved his hand and said to do his best, Duan Gong then asked us where Grandpa's body was found, and we told the truth. Duan Gong said that during the day, the soul does not dare to come out, so wait for the evening, go to the river to help your grandfather call the soul back.

In the evening, we came to the Yellow River.
