The door made a groan~groan-like 'what~how' squeezing sound, and through the crack in the open door, the pale hands and head poked out. Shocked, Zhong Kui suddenly woke up from a nightmare. He cried "grandpa" while kicking off the futon and rolling over and getting up, never daring to sleep again.
Grandpa's bed was so small that Zhong Kui could only curl up and sleep all night, and he was afraid that he would kick his grandfather if he was not careful. Grandpa is a lot old, but he can't stand his toss.
Zhong Kui sat up, wiped a handful of sticky saliva from the corner of his mouth, and glanced at his grandfather, who was still sleeping deeply. When I stretched my elbow, I felt a lot of pain. His eyes fell on the door, and he suddenly remembered the nightmare just now, which seemed to be caused by the fact that he was sleeping in the wrong position, and his body was curled and his hands rested on his chest. will have nightmares, this kind of sleep is still what his father once told him.
At this moment, Zhong Kui saw the scene he didn't want to see. His two mysterious friends suddenly entered through the door, and the cold air on their faces became one. Just like a shadow, quietly appeared in front of him.
"You guys?" Zhong Kui exited and felt the hot air coming out of his mouth, like a clump of mist. I couldn't help but tighten my body and pulled the futon to cover my body. He knew that every time these two friends who couldn't speak appeared, the atmosphere of the space was unusually cold. I know that it will be nothing good as soon as the two of them appear, who are the two of them from?
The two shadows that came in the door, like skateboards, slid silently past Zhong Kui's side and went straight to his grandfather's side.
Looking at this extremely strange scene, "Grandpa, you can't take him away. Zhong Kui exclaimed.
But Zhong Kui's words were very little, and they couldn't stop the two friends from calling on his grandfather's soul at all.
Zhong Kui can be said to be the first time in history that he has seen a person who can be divided into two forms, the body of his grandfather, and the 'person' who suddenly supports another form, 'just this 'person' who is supported, 'the body is completely transparent, as light as an ethereal mist.
Zhong Kui was stunned, stared at his grandfather's shadow in shock, and followed behind the two silent friends. When he climbed to the end of his grandfather's bed to look, he found that his grandfather's body was cold, his eyes were closed, and there was a shallow smile left at the corner of his mouth.
The old man was depressed all his life, and finally told the story in his heart. He's happy! But he didn't know that Zhong Kui, who was struggling, had bigger things waiting for him to face.
Zhong Kui bought the cannon from the consignment store and did not dare to light it. Seeing his grandfather's neighbor passing by with a hoe, he couldn't say anything, and he stepped forward to pounce on the behavior of the Yan family last time when he came to visit his father, and he couldn't afford to kneel.
Kowtowing is the most respectful etiquette for people, and when the man saw Zhong Kui kneeling for himself, he knew that something must have happened, so he asked when he put down the hoe.
"Grandpa~Woo~Grandpa~ He's gone." Zhong Kui burst into tears and whimpered. Still maintaining a posture of kneeling on the ground, he said to the man.
"Ah~this~ when is it?" The man was afraid, afraid that he would unknowingly touch his head and hit the dead man and just leave.
"I don't know, but it's cold when I touch him."
"That's good." As the man spoke, he took out a match in his pocket, and lit the cannon with a bang. There was a deafening crackling sound, and as scraps of paper flew up a puff of blue smoke drifted in front of the old caveman's door, to inform all the people in the village, that he was gone.
After the artillery fire, enthusiastic neighbors in the neighborhood came to help. There were a few mothers-in-law and aunts standing at the door, watching the movement, and if the main family was conditional, they were willing to help. If the main family is a dime a dime and can't even afford a coffin, then I'm sorry and have to leave. A few long-tongued women were idle, and they were chatting crookedly.
"Tsk! This old man is dead, and he has worked hard all his life, pitiful. ”
"That's it, last night there was an old eagle calling in the mountain behind our house, and I told the head at that time that something was going to happen when the old eagle called, and it really was."
"Who is this kid?"
"Phew, you don't even know if this is in vain. I'll tell you......" One woman leaned her mouth close to the other woman's ear, glanced at Zhong Kui with a thief's eyebrow, and whispered like that.
Zhong Kui ignored these talkative women, what he thought in his heart was; Grandpa is gone, and Dad should be busy again. I have to hurry up and call my father, what should I do with my grandfather's funeral? There is still money in the family, and that money is used by my father to buy piglets.
Zhong Kui trotted all the way to the house, and to his strange surprise, when he ran far from the door of the house, he saw that the door was open. His heart rejoiced; Daddy at home? But then I thought about it, since my father was at home, why didn't I come to see my grandfather?
The sound of the cannon should have come here, Zhong Kui wondered and sped up his pace when he thought about it alone, and shouted as he ran: "Dad~ Dad." ”
Zhong Kui shouted countless times, and the door was open, but he didn't see his father.
"Dad~" Zhong Kui was unwilling, walked into the house, finished the three broken houses, and didn't see his father. But I saw that the beds, futons, bedding and pillows at home were all very messy, as if someone was looking for something to turn over.
Because of something on his mind, Zhong Kui didn't pay attention to these unusual scenes, but because he didn't find his father, he faintly felt that something was wrong.
There are not many slopes in Zhong Kui's house, and there are only three or two areas. He didn't find it at home, so he hurried up the slope. In addition to the crops that fluctuated with the wind, there were some grasses growing up on the slopes, and there was no father. "Dad~ Where are you?" Without seeing his father, an indescribable sense of foreboding suddenly flooded into his mind.
Grandpa is still waiting, can't rub around here like this. Zhong Kui thought that on weekdays, his father loved to stuff money into his pillow. I ran home with a cigarette and shook out all the bamao tidbits in the big and small pillows, and there was no money, not a dime.
Zhong Kui was completely confused by what was happening in front of him, what about money? Could it be that Daddy took it? Or did he use the money to buy piglets? If so, then there is nothing, and Dad will come back sooner or later.
But why did my father take the money and turn the house around like a house? Zhong Kui glanced at the room in confusion. In the end, I had to choose to go to my grandfather's house to have a look.
In Grandpa's house, except for two or three kind-hearted men, the rest of the mothers-in-law and aunts who chewed their tongues had long since dispersed.
When the three men saw Zhong Kui running back alone, they hurriedly asked why his father didn't come.
When Zhong Kui told them about the search for his father, they shook their heads speechlessly, and finally decided to wrap him in the mat that the old man slept on, and put him in the only house. Wait for the cave cutter in the neighboring village to do a good deed for the old man.
Looking at the body of my grandfather wrapped in a broken mat, my heart was as uncomfortable as broken. A man who has beheaded the dead all his life has been wrapped in a broken mat after his death.
Fortunately, the cave cutter in the neighboring village was a good friend to Grandpa Zhong Kui before his death, and after a while, he rushed to hear the news, and without saying a word, he quickly took out a pen and paper to record the height and fat of the old man. Then take out the compass and gossip copper coins to position, and when dusk comes, grandpa is buried.
