Looking at the bare trees around me and the thick yellow leaves on the ground, I sighed and said, "The most annoying season is coming soon!" ”

Because my grandfather was very old, after the age of thirteen, after the snow fell every winter, the snow in the huge yard was my winter life, and I don't know why, the snow was still very heavy in the past few years.

Just when I was depressed, my grandfather came up behind me, looked at the crossing not far away, and said to himself, "It should be coming soon!" ”

As soon as I heard the old man's words, I was stunned and asked a little puzzled, "Grandpa, what's coming soon?" ”

When my grandfather heard my question, he smiled and said mysteriously, "Last night I dreamed that an injured sparrow flew into our house at noon, so I am sure someone will arrive today!" ”

I scoffed at my grandfather's words, dreaming was such a thing, and he was so sure of it. But seeing his grandfather's constant looking, he didn't bother him, and swept the fallen leaves at the door by himself.

Just as I was halfway sweeping the leaves at the door, a black Xiali suddenly appeared in my eyes, turning towards the intersection of my house.

Looking at Xia Li who was approaching, I looked at my smiling grandfather with a look of surprise and asked, "Grandpa, should you have known that someone was coming?" That's why I just said that! ”

When my grandfather heard this, he shook his head, looked into my eyes and said word by word: "Gao Tian, this is nothing, you will have such a skill like me in the future, now let us two see what kind of bird is coming!" ”

However, just as my grandfather said this, Xia Li stopped not far after entering the crossing, and as soon as the car stopped, a man wearing a windbreaker, a hat and a mask walked out of the car, walking towards the people around him.

Seeing this scene, I laughed and jokingly asked my grandfather: "Grandpa, it seems that your dream is not good, people are not here to find you!" ”

When my grandfather heard my words, I clearly saw a hint of embarrassment flashing across his face, but he said to himself like he was nothing, "Impossible, it should be at this time!" Could it be that something went wrong? ”

I ignored my grandfather, who was talking to myself, and swept up the few dead leaves in front of me again.

But before I could sweep the dead leaves a few times with the bamboo, the man who had just entered my neighborhood walked out quickly, hurriedly got into the car and drove in the direction where I was.

Since my house was in the middle of the road, I saw the car driving downwards and couldn't help but look around.

The car that I thought was going to pass by me, but when it passed by, it stopped. As soon as the man from before was firmly in the car, he hurriedly stepped out of the car.

"Little brother, may I ask if this is Gao Xiufeng's family?" The man asked me in a hoarse voice.

After hearing the man's words, my heart suddenly shook, and I secretly said in my heart: "Could it be that this man is the person my grandfather is waiting for?" ”

My grandfather had already entered the courtyard, but when he heard the man's words, he came out again. At the same time, he looked at the tightly wrapped body of the person who came, and said loudly: "I am Gao Xiufeng, what are you looking for me?" ”

After hearing my grandfather's words, the man's eyes showed joy, and he said with some excitement: "You are Uncle Gao, I am a friend of Brother Hao!" As he spoke, the man stretched out his right hand, which was wearing leather gloves.

My grandfather just glanced at the man's right hand, didn't shake his hand, and asked nonchalantly, "What did he ask you to come to me for!" ”

Gao Hao is my father, and my grandfather has always been at odds with him.

The man smiled embarrassedly, withdrew his right hand, and said in an unnatural voice: "Uncle Gao, I had a strange disease last year, and I didn't look good at many doctors, but after Brother Hao saw it, he said that your old man can be cured, so let me come to you!" ”

"That's why you're wrapped so tightly?" My grandfather asked aloud when he saw that not a single piece of skin was showing on the man's body.

When the man heard my grandfather's words, he nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle Gao, I have been wearing this way since I got this disease, I'm really embarrassed!" ”

"Take off your clothes, and I'll see what kind of disease you have!"

Hearing my grandfather's words, I saw a hesitation in the man's eyes, but he slowly took off his clothes.

When I saw the man undressing, I came to my grandfather's side curiously, wanting to see what kind of strange disease would make the man wear so tightly.

After listening to my grandfather's words, the man had to take off the mask on his face, although his eyes were full of reluctance.

"Gross!"

The moment the man took off his mask, my stomach squirmed violently, and I immediately retched.

And when my grandfather saw the man take off his mask, he pulled me down and shouted at the man in a cold voice: "Boy, what have you done to lack morality, and such vicious corpse worms will be born on your body!" ”

I saw that at the moment when the man took off the mask, on his face full of holes, there were constantly flesh worms of bright red and bloody size like leeches crawling in and out, and there were several insects the size of little fingers, after falling to the ground, quickly crawling back to the man's body along the man's feet.

The man glanced at the corpse worm crawling towards his body, and then raised his head, as if he had been accustomed to it. I don't care at all.

After listening to my grandfather's questioning, the man smiled slightly with that almost disfigured face, and said with some joy: "Uncle Gao, it's great that you really know the worms growing on my body, as long as you can cure my strange disease!" You can ask for as much as you want! ”

"Let me ask you, where did you get the corpse worms on your body, don't talk nonsense?" After listening to the man's words, Grandpa's face turned cold and asked in a cold voice.

"You just treat me, why do you ask so much!"

After listening to my grandfather's almost questioning words, the man said with some displeasure on his face.

Grandpa glanced at the man's face full of corpses, sighed, turned to me and said, "Enter the house!" Lock! ”

Without grandpa saying it, I turned around and walked towards the yard, for fear that it would be too late, and the worms on the man's body would run to me.

And when I entered the courtyard, my grandfather followed him back into the courtyard and locked the gate.

"I said old man, you can make a price, you don't have to do this in front of me, uncle, I have money!" When the man saw my grandfather lock the door, he said disdainfully with a look of sarcasm in his eyes.

After my grandfather locked the door, he didn't even look at the man, turned around and walked into the house, and when his old man walked more than ten steps, he said leisurely: "Boy, old man, I am not short of money, and even if you have money, you may not be able to cure this disease, so you should save some money to go home and buy a good coffin!" When the words fell, my grandfather didn't speak, and walked towards the house.

The man looked at my grandfather walking towards the house without looking back, his eyes suddenly panicked, and he said in a pleading voice: "Uncle Gao, as long as you can cure my illness, I can promise you any conditions!" ”

Before the man finished speaking, my grandfather had already entered the house, and as soon as he entered the door, he hurriedly said to me: "Gao Tian, quickly take a dustpan and pluck some small ashes in the pot table, and raise it around the yard!" ”

"Grandpa, why is there a corpse worm on that man?" The thought of the bugs on the man's face made me feel an itch in my throat, and a feeling of wanting to vomit reappeared.

Hearing my question, my grandfather looked out of the kitchen window with a calm face, and said with some contempt: "This kid must have made a fortune from the dead, otherwise he would not have given birth to this corpse worm that only the unjustly killed person will appear on his body!" ”

I nodded as if I didn't understand, picked up the dustpan in the corner, pulled the little ash out of the pot, and asked, "Grandpa, why do you want to raise the little ash around our yard!" ”

"Don't look down on this little gray, although it is inconspicuous, it can prevent corpse insects from entering our yard." Saying this, Grandpa paused for a moment, and said to me again with a solemn face: "By the way, Gao Tian, when you are raising small ashes, don't get close to that man, be careful not to let the corpse worms crawl on you!" ”

"Knowing grandpa, I'll definitely pay attention!" With that, I walked out with a dustpan full of ash.
