Chapter 009: Grandfather and Grandson Talk

"That's good, I thought my grandmother was really "I wanted to say and stopped, and I didn't dare to say the rest of the words." At that time, I didn't have enough skills, otherwise I only needed to use the "Clear Heart and Clear Eyes Mantra" to open the eyes of the sky and take a look. I was afraid that if I said the rest of the words, it would break my grandfather's heart.

My grandfather touched my head and said with a smile: "If your grandmother knew that you had this filial piety, she would be very moved." Grandpa can talk with you around the stove in his lifetime, and he is really content. ”

I am also very content, knowing that the old man in front of me is my grandfather who I once thought about. It's been almost a day since I went back to Xiwang Village, and at the end of this day, I either walked around with Chen Mo and others, or I accompanied my uncle to sort out my grandmother's relics. I have never had such a close and personal conversation with my grandfather.

"Grandpa, don't be too sad. Grandma is a very good person, she will go to heaven at all. "I tried to comfort my grandfather, to comfort an old man who had just lost his wife. I'm not very comforting in the first place, and now I'm just talking about what I say on TV.

Grandpa smiled and said, "Your grandmother is a good person, a great good person." Do you know? If they are placed in other people's homes and enter the girls' houses, their grandchildren generally call them grandmothers. But your grandmother won't let you call her grandma, but grandma. That's why you and I are surnamed Feng, but we call my grandfather and call her grandma. ”

I listened quietly to my grandfather's words, and his words were full of vicissitudes and memories.

Grandpa said again: "Let me tell you, your grandfather and I didn't believe Feng, and my name is not Tianxi." ”

"And what was your name?" I looked at my grandfather with wide eyes and asked suspiciously.

Grandpa smiled and said, "I don't remember what my surname is, I only remember that when I was very young, I was brought back by your great-grandfather." They named me Feng Tianxi. Your father, like me, was brought here by your grandmother. It was the Great Patriotic War between China and Vietnam, and your grandmother brought him back from Guangxi. Name your father Weiguo, Feng Weiguo. ”

My grandfather's deep eyes were full of memories, and at this moment I just had to listen to my grandfather tell me stories, and I didn't need to do anything else.

Grandpa said again: "It's a pity, your mother and your father died too early, and you were too young, otherwise your grandmother wouldn't have put everything on her own." Alas, your grandmother did good deeds all her life, but she was often slandered and criticized. Now, she's gone, and she walks clean. "Cough cough cough" Grandpa's eyes became moist when he said this, and he kept coughing dryly.

I poured my grandfather a glass of boiling water and said, "What the hell does Grandma do?" "I deliberately pretended not to understand, in order to get a little clue from my grandfather's mouth. Chen Lin's words in the afternoon have been haunting my ears, it was my grandfather, Chen Laoqi and a few strong men who carried my grandmother back from Longqugou on a stretcher, he must know something.

Grandpa took a sip of water, looked at me with surprised eyes, and said, "Have you forgotten what your grandmother taught you when you were a child?" Grandpa was talking about the metaphysical feng shui and the spirit runes that my grandmother taught me since I was a child.

In order to get words out of my grandfather's mouth, I still planned to lie to my grandfather once, and I said, "No, I forgot about it a long time ago." Grandpa, you know, I have a bad memory. ”

"I have a bad memory, I have a bad memory for you." Grandpa muttered to himself, "But why do you remember the events of that year so clearly?" His deep eyes were fixed on me, "Do you want to know something?" Or do you want to do something? His words became harsh, as if he were trying a prisoner.

I was too scared by my grandfather to speak.

Grandpa said: "Xiaoyuan, I warn you, don't think nonsense. Nothing happened back then, and your grandmother didn't allow you to think wildly. When your grandmother's funeral is over, you can leave, get out of here, and never come back. "I vaguely remember that it was my grandfather who promised everyone that I would never return to Xiwang Village.

"Why?" I asked my grandfather, "Why don't you want me to come back?" What the hell are you hiding from me? ”

"Don't ask again, I won't tell you if you ask me." Grandpa got up, "It's not too early, hurry up and go back to sleep." Grandpa walked to the kitchen door and turned back again, "I warn you, Xiaoyuan, you are not allowed to do anything." Otherwise, I won't be able to spare you! The villagers of Dongwang Village and Xiwang Village will not spare you either. ”

"Hmm." I answered softly, and my grandfather went out of the kitchen. And I sat motionless in the kitchen. Time passed minute by minute, and it was soon time for me to agree with Chen Mo, Lin Hai, and Chen Lin. Now I can't deliver food, I can't put anesthetics, and I can't open the coffin for an autopsy, what should I do?

Moreover, even if the uncle who was guarding the spirit in the mourning hall fell asleep with anesthetics, his grandfather was an uncertain factor. The chat just now must have made my grandfather alert, and he must not be so easy to bluff through this level.

I fetched two glasses of water in the kitchen, and then walked to the front of the mourning hall of the hall, where my grandfather sat on the left side of the mourning hall and looked at me with a grim face, while my uncle knelt in front of the mourning hall to burn money for my grandmother.

I didn't dare to put any more anesthetics in the water, so I had to hand it to my uncle with a glass of water and say, "Uncle, let's drink saliva." ”

Uncle took the water with relief and said with a smile, "Thank you." With that, he drank the water from the cup.

I handed another glass of water to my grandfather, who took it and said quietly, "I drank this glass of water, and you don't dare to play any tricks." Grandpa drank the water and handed me the empty cup.

He said, "The water has also been delivered, you can go back to your room and rest." Just keep your uncle here. ”

"Hmm." I put the empty cups back in the kitchen, then tiptoed the kitchen door shut, and instead of going back to sleep, I went outside.

I know that it is impossible to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy now, there is no time to administer anesthetics, and I have to stop Chen Mo, Lin Hai and Chen Lin.

When I was a little farther away, I dialed Chen Mo's phone. Chen Mo was obviously very excited, and as soon as the phone was connected, he asked me if I had succeeded. I denied Chen Mo's words. I really didn't have a chance to do it, things have changed. It seems that the plan that was carefully conceived in the afternoon has come to naught.

Chen Mo, Lin Hai and Chen Lin on the other end of the phone were all very depressed, I comforted them a few words, signaled them not to come, and hung up the phone. Then quietly the cat returned home and prepared to go into the room to rest.

As soon as I got home, I felt something was wrong. The surroundings were surprisingly quiet, except for the spiritual lights outside the mourning hall, there was no light at all.

At this point, the hall should have to turn on the lights, uncle, he is so economical, can't even give up the electricity bill of these two yuan?

I slowly walked to the front of the mourning hall, wanting to see what was going on. But what happened next blew my mind! There was no one in the hall, and the uncle who was supposed to be guarding in front of the mourning hall was gone, leaving only the futon where the uncle was kneeling. It was as if my uncle and grandfather had suddenly disappeared from the world.

"Uncle, grandfather." I whispered to my uncle and grandfather, but no one answered.

"What's going on?" I muttered, shouldn't my uncle be tired and secretly go back to his room to sleep? After all, staying up late and kneeling to keep watch is really not something ordinary people can bear.

However, on second thought, my opportunity came. I can just take advantage of the current lack of people's plans to go to my grandmother's coffin and see if my grandmother's neck really has a long opening as Chen Mo and Lin Hai said. I can also tell if this is man-made or ghost-made.

I looked around and saw that there really wasn't anyone left. I crept up to my grandmother's coffin and didn't come closer. Originally, according to the custom of Xiwang Village, after the old man passed away, his descendants could see his remains by his coffin and see him for the last time.

But since I came back, my uncle only allowed me to look at my grandmother's portrait, and I was not allowed to approach the coffin half a step, I didn't care at first, but now I think about it, I'm afraid it's really as Chen Mo and Lin Hai said, my grandmother's death is really strange. I took a deep breath and walked over to my grandmother's coffin, tears streaming down my eyes as soon as I got close to them.

I couldn't help but feel nervous again, my heart was beating wildly, and my legs felt like they had no strength at all. The candle flame on the table was blown by the wind and swayed with the wind, and the room suddenly became bright and dark, and my shadow, the shadow of the coffin, and the shadow of something I don't know slanted across the wall, stretching and stretching, like a ghost.

I looked inside the coffin with wide eyes, and I couldn't help but exclaim that there was nothing in the coffin! There was nothing in the huge coffin. I couldn't believe what was in front of me, I saw that my grandmother was dead, but why wasn't she lying in the coffin, and where did her body go?

"What's going on?" I muttered, trying to figure it out. But at this time, suddenly the candle flame went out, and the room fell into darkness. I couldn't help but feel a pang in my heart. I reacted quickly and pulled the lighter out of my trouser pocket, but I couldn't touch it in a panic, when suddenly something slammed into me, and I hit the mahogany coffin with a bang.

"Who?" I exclaimed, looked up suddenly, and in the darkness, I saw a dark figure leap out from behind me, and when I landed, I hurried out. By the light of the moon, I saw him quickly climb the wall and disappear into the night.

I was so frightened that I stood still, not daring to move.

"Why is the light off?" Faintly, I heard my uncle's voice. I quickly took advantage of the darkness and quietly left the mourning hall.

"Is there a cat?" My uncle had already noticed that the coffin had been moved, and then I heard him straighten the coffin, light the spiritual lamp, kneel in front of my grandmother's mourning hall, and cry, "Mother, my son is not filial, and it will not be clean for you to leave." Son, I'm sorry for you."

I made sure my uncle hadn't noticed anything, so I went back to my room.

Lying on the bed, I thought that the coffin in the mourning hall turned out to be an empty coffin, who was the black shadow that had disappeared just now? I could clearly feel the breath of the black shadow breathing, and the black shadow was a human being, not a ghost!

But who is the Dark Shadow? Who would be as interested in this as they are?
