Chapter 11 Knocking at the Door in the Middle of the Night
Grandma hurriedly picked up a handkerchief and wiped the soup stains on the corner of my mouth, and comforted me softly, saying that I would get used to it while drinking.
That's right, I'm going to drink this stuff every day in the future, and it's hard not to be numb.
I spent the whole day in bed, watching TV, taking naps, and so quietly that I was safe for two days in the evening.
But on the third day, after I ate the longevity noodles that my grandmother made for me in the morning, I began to feel uneasy.
All I thought about was the monk who said that he wanted to be married to me, and the more I thought about it, the colder my body became, and I couldn't help but pull the quilt and shrink into a ball in fear.
My grandmother, who usually brings me dinner at five o'clock, knocked on my door at seven o'clock tonight, and her face was unusually ugly.
After giving me soup and watching me finish my meal, I picked up the dishes and chopsticks and prepared to leave, but before leaving, he told me very seriously not to answer whoever called me by name tonight.
And don't open the door if you hear a knock, she'll be in the backyard tonight.
"Hmm." I looked at my grandmother, I don't know why I have no bottom in my heart, I always feel as if something bad is about to happen.
"Don't worry, with grandma here, it'll be fine." Grandma said but couldn't help coughing.
I hurriedly stretched out my hand and gently patted my grandmother's back to smooth my grandmother, but my grandmother waved her hand again and again: "It's not early, you can sleep well tonight, get up tomorrow morning, and everything will pass." ”
"Grandma, you'll be fine." I looked at my grandmother and was very worried.
"Silly boy, how can grandma have anything to do, but grandma must do what you tell you, otherwise, grandma's efforts these days will be in vain." Grandma reminded again solemnly.
"Hmm." I nodded solemnly.
Grandma pretended to be relaxed and said to me: "Little rhino, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and grandma will accompany you to buy new clothes tomorrow morning." ”
"yes, okay." I nodded excitedly, and my fear subsided.
In the heart of the little girl, it is nothing more than eating, dressing and playing, and at that time, I didn't know that my grandmother was using her life to make a last fight for me.
Grandma came out of the room and smiled at me before closing the door: "Go to bed early, and everything will be over when you wake up." ”
"Got it." I smiled at my grandmother, then pulled up the quilt and lay down.
It's just that the moment my grandmother closed the door, I seemed to see tears flashing in the corners of my grandmother's eyes, although it was only for a moment, my heart was clenched.
With the sound of the door closing, the room fell into a deathly silence.
"Huhuhu." The cold wind was blowing outside the window, and now it was winter, and there was a thin layer of frost on the glass windows, and I felt sorry for my grandmother to stay in the backyard.
I wanted to send a cotton coat to my grandmother, but after thinking about it carefully, my grandmother specially instructed me not to go out of this room, so I could only put down the sweater again and returned to the bed.
Originally, it was easy to fall asleep in such a cold weather and hide in the warm quilt, but this night somehow, tossing and turning just couldn't sleep.
As long as I closed my eyes, I could faintly see the back of a man, and I was so frightened that I opened my eyes again.
In this way, after tossing and turning for a while, it was already more than ten o'clock in the middle of the night.
In just over an hour, my birthday will pass, does that mean that I am safe, and the monk will have no way to be husband and wife with me?
Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly, the door made a "creak, creak" sound.
This sound is clearly the sound that someone is twisting the doorknob.
My heart trembled, and I quickly shrank my face into the quilt, not daring to squeak, and I was very frightened in my heart, not knowing if the wooden door could block the monk.
"Bang bang bang, bang bang bang."
The creaking stopped abruptly, but was replaced by a sharp knock on the door.
The people outside the door knocked on the door and shouted loudly: "Little rhino, it's grandpa, open the door quickly." ”
"Grandpa?" I muttered, poked my head out of the bed, pursed my lips, and wanted to respond, but immediately remembered what my grandmother said.
"Little rhino, little rhino, open the door for grandpa, grandpa is sleepy" Grandpa's voice outside the door became a little anxious.
I listened to the anxious turnaround in the room, if I didn't open the door for my grandfather, maybe I would clean up tomorrow, but if I opened the door, would the ghost monk find me immediately?
"Little rhino, grandpa is really sleepy, otherwise you let grandpa in first, and open the door quickly." His tone was gentle.
Such a tone made it really difficult for me to refuse, so I bit my lip and tiptoed to the door.
But just as I put my hand on the doorknob, I felt that something was wrong.
Grandpa's temper is so hot, if he knows that I deliberately didn't open the door for him in the room, it must be angry, scolding must be indispensable, how can it be so gentle?
Could it be that the person outside the door is not grandpa.
Thinking of this, I hurriedly took a few steps back, and after the "person" outside the door knocked on the door for more than ten minutes in a row, I saw that no one answered, and finally left in a huff.
I let out a long breath and sat down on the bed, wondering if it was a safe pass.
"Knock knock, knock knock."
As a result, I didn't have time to breathe before I heard the sound of knocking and knocking.
Now it was not the door that was knocking, but the glass window, and I was stiff and staring at the solid glass window that had already been sealed by my grandmother with rune paper.
"Little rhino, it's grandma."
Suddenly, my grandmother's voice came from outside the glass window, and my tense nerves immediately relaxed.
I guess it's really fine, so my grandmother came to tell me.
"Little rhino, help grandma open the window." Grandma opened her mouth and said.
I looked out the window at the faint figure of a human figure, and then I got up from the bed and gestured, feeling a little strange.
Grandma is a little hunchbacked, so when she stands about the same size as me, according to the height of the window in our house, her head should be just in the middle of the window, but the face outside is obviously above the window, and the other party is obviously still hunched.
This means that the person on the outside is very tall, so it can't be my grandmother.
After such a careful analysis, my hanging hand quickly retracted.
I remembered what my grandmother said in my head, and I didn't say anything no matter what.
"Little rhino, grandma is injured, come and help grandma." The people outside the window must be very clear about the relationship between me and my grandmother, and they deliberately used my grandmother to deceive me.
It was I who pulled the quilt directly, hid in the quilt, closed my eyes and slept, this is also to prevent myself from being moved by the "people" outside.
All night, it was grandma, grandpa's, and finally even Heiwa and Heiwa's mother came, in short, I think the other party was imitating the people who came to my house during this time.
It was to lure me out, and I, remembering my grandmother's words, felt very tormented at first, but finally fell asleep unconsciously.
When I opened my eyes again, the harsh sunlight was already shining on my face, and I immediately lifted the quilt, got off the bed excitedly, and then couldn't wait to open the door.
The aisle outside the door is gloomy and compassionate.
"Grandma, grandma." I yelled twice, very happy, thinking that not only was I fine, but my grandmother also promised me to take me to buy new clothes for the New Year.
But I shouted several times in a row and didn't hear my grandmother's response, so I wondered if my grandmother would fall asleep in my room, but when I opened my door, I saw that it was a mess, and there was a pool of red blood on the ground.
"Grandma, grandma, where are you?" Seeing the blood stains on the ground, I realized the seriousness of the problem, and hurriedly ran to the backyard where my grandmother said she was going to set up an altar last night.
As soon as I crossed the threshold of the backyard, I saw my grandmother fall to the ground, and the altar set up next to it was actually split in half from the middle.
I hurriedly squatted down to help my grandmother up, but as soon as I touched my grandmother's hand, I couldn't help but shiver, because my grandmother's hand was cold and terrible, and it seemed to be stiff, and there was blood on the corner of her mouth.
"Grandma, grandma, wake up, don't scare me." I shook my grandmother vigorously, but she couldn't answer me anymore.
Because, grandma has passed away!
It was already noon when my grandfather came back from outside, and I went to the village doctor to show my grandmother, and the village doctor said that judging from her stiffness, she had been dead for at least five hours.
I cried heartbreakingly, thinking that it must be the ghost monk who killed my grandmother, so I rummaged through the cabinets and found the Buddha beads, but I didn't know where my grandmother hid the Buddha beads, I searched every corner of the room and didn't find the Buddha beads.
Grandpa was specially branched out by grandma last night, grandma asked Uncle Tiezhu of the Heiwa family to invite grandpa to drink, she knows grandpa's preferences very well, as long as there is good wine, then grandpa will naturally go out without hesitation.
Moreover, Uncle Tie Zhu's alcohol consumption is very good, and it is easy to put Grandpa down.
"Oh, this dead old woman, she just didn't listen to me, she was punished! No wonder she held my hand last night and said that she wouldn't let me marry again, it turned out that she knew that she would be punished, what a sin! Grandpa shouted.
It's just that, looking at his grandmother's body, he didn't shed a few tears, and the shout undoubtedly said how miserable his life was.
When he was young, he was harmed by his grandmother, and he had a good future, but he was ruined by his grandmother's feudal superstition, and he didn't have a son, and his life was ruined by his grandmother.
"Grandma is not doing evil, grandma is helping me." I choked up and wiped my tears, and I felt extremely angry at my grandfather's accusations against my grandmother.
Grandpa pushed me hard: "You are a loser, you know a ball, go and call your parents, let them come back to deal with the loss." ”
