Chapter 7: Grandma's Secret
After walking around the stockade for three days in a row, I finally saw the man.
Behind him dragged the prey that had been beaten back.
Damn, he's still fucking going up to the mountains to hunt!
For the next few days, I stayed at his door every day.
A month later, I figured out the route he took every time he went up and down the mountain.
Grandma seemed to know my thoughts, and often "looked" at me with a strange face.
But she didn't say anything.
A few days later, the man fell off a cliff on his way back from hunting and died instantly.
When the news came back to the village, I was not only nervous, but also very happy.
In the courtyard of his house, I saw his body.
Both legs and ribs were broken in many places, and Bai Sensen's bones pierced through the flesh, looking a little terrible.
The strangest thing was his round eyes and the frightened expression.
It was as if I had seen something incredible.
When I was cremating the body, I cut down the dead tree.
It was raining lightly, but it didn't affect the burning flames in the slightest.
When I went back, I was holding her by my side.
Grandma suddenly sighed and whispered:
"Baby, there are too many injustices in this world, and people can't manage them."
I lowered my head and didn't speak, but quietly pursed my lips.
When I logged in to QQ again, the message of "man and dog" almost made my card freeze.
The content is pretty much the same, it's all begging me to let him go.
I thought this person was sick, so I told it to Grandma as a joke.
Grandma didn't laugh, but looked at me strangely and said:
"Baby, or forget it."
I was stunned and said in surprise:
"Grandma, you know, I didn't do anything!"
Grandma slowly stood up and walked towards the room inside, leaving only half a sentence:
"Then persuade your mother-in-law to ......"
I knew she was referring to Qingxian, but I hadn't seen her since last time.
I hurriedly asked:
"Grandma, you mean Qingxian? Where is she? ”
Grandma didn't speak, leaving me with a back.
Back in my room, I was a little depressed, and the day of goodbye to Qingxian was probably far away.
Maybe after she is reincarnated, I will be able to grow old.
Are we destined to have no fate in this life?
Caressing the string of tears on my neck, my heart was full of sorrow.
I put it in the corner of my eye and let my tears flow down it.
Hopefully she can feel my thoughts.
Qingxian, I'm waiting for you, where are you?
After that day, the QQ called "Man and Dog" did not ring again.
Maybe his affairs have nothing to do with me or Qingxian at all.
Or perhaps, it was Qingxian who felt my heart.
However, I received a message from another "person".
It's still a painting, a man passing by the edge of a cliff, and suddenly that terrifying face appears in front of his eyes.
Protruding eyes, long tongue.
In a panic, his feet slipped and he fell off a cliff.
This time, I didn't feel fear.
It turned out that she had always been able to avenge herself.
Just can't bear it.
Even though the man abused her in every way and eventually killed her with his own hands.
But she still couldn't bear to kill him.
No matter how many grievances there are, no matter how much hatred there is.
Even if she took revenge on his child, she couldn't bear to take his life.
I closed the computer and didn't know what it was like.
I don't know if I blame this woman for not distinguishing between right and wrong, or if she is obsessed with old love.
Maybe at the moment, she still loves him.
Only this time, she could finally keep him around.
When I washed my face the next morning, I found that the wound on my hand, which had been somewhat inflamed, was completely healed.
This time, I didn't make a fuss to ask Grandma, the corners of my mouth rose slightly, and I smiled faintly.
The weather is extremely hot these days, and sleeping at night is simply an ordeal.
That night, I couldn't sleep, so I went out and sat in the courtyard for a while.
Listening to the faint chirping of insects and looking at the bright moonlight, I suddenly remembered that the next day was July 15.
Suddenly, I heard a muffled noise coming from my grandmother's house, and I thought she had accidentally fallen, so I ran over.
Before I could knock on the door, I heard a low voice in the room:
"How many times have you been talking, don't panic, don't panic, hurry up."
I was stunned, it's so late, who will be in Grandma's house?
Listening to her tone, it was not at all like usual, and there was a bit of disgust.
I'm a little confused.
Wasn't Grandma's wife gone decades ago?
Suddenly, I remembered the quilt curtains in her room, and remembered that she was uneasy about the electric light......
The heart was beating violently.
Nervous, scared, but they couldn't beat their curiosity.
I tiptoed to the window and tiptoed through the gap in the window to look in.
As soon as I got up, I saw an old human face.
His eyes were wide open, and his face was covered with green spots the size of fingernails, as if they were moldy.
The most important thing is his open chest!
Yes, it's open, and the knife runs from the throat to the lower abdomen.
The black hole inside was empty.
His hands were grasping both sides at the moment, probably trying to open the knife edge.
I opened my mouth in fright and was about to shout, when a smell of rotting for an unknown amount of time rushed straight into my nostrils, suffocating me alive.
I was afraid I would have fainted before, but now it seems to have improved.
Although my legs were a little weak and my heart beat faster, I was fortunate not to collapse on the ground.
He struggled to move to the door, and before he could knock, the door was opened.
Grandma stood at the door, her face calm.
"Grandma! Hurry up ......"
Grandma interrupted me.
"Come in!"
I reluctantly stepped in and sat down in the doorway.
Grandma glared at me.
"Something that doesn't make a difference! Don't be so curious if you're timid! ”
I scratched my head, a little stumbling.
Grandma sat down across from me and asked me softly:
"Do you know why Grandma took you home as soon as you entered the village?"
I shook my head, indicating I didn't know.
"Alas......"
Grandma let out a long sigh.
"You love to write stories, so listen to Grandma tell you a story......
Ninety years ago, I was seventeen years old......"
I listened quietly to her finish the story.
Ninety years sounds like a long time, but it's not.
At that time, the most mysterious "corpse chaser" in Xiangxi began to spread gradually, which was very mysterious and weird.
That's what Grandma's family does.
In fact, the corpse chasers are not as powerful as the outside world rumores, and not every corpse is a ghost.
They just take advantage of people's fears to create some convenience for the way.
But there are really a small number of corpses that will be transformed under some special circumstances.
For example, being touched by foxes, cats, and children.
When a person dies, the soul does not leave the body immediately.
Generally, the soul will leave within seven days, while the spirit will remain in the body.
It is not until after the seventy-seven forty-nine days that the souls leave in turn.
At this time, there will be basically no change in the corpse.
Once such spirits collide with the corpse during this period, the spirits that remain in it will borrow their aura and dominate the body.
But since the soul is gone, there is almost no intelligence, only instinct.
