Chapter 444: No last resort
I showed up at Mrs. Chai's house, which made Mrs. Chai's daughter very excited. Call me as: "Brother Zhao." "It felt like we hadn't seen each other in years. Suddenly met the same relatives.
When I was in Huaicheng, she wasn't so kind to me.
I was a little uncomfortable with this sudden enthusiasm. But after a day at Chai's house, I understood. There aren't many people she can trust, and it's reasonable for her to stay here alone now and treat me as a close confidant.
She stood up and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
I smiled bitterly in my heart: "Your mother is looking for me three times a day, can I not come?" I didn't answer her, but put a solemn look on my face: "What are you?" ”
I pointed to the mourning shed and paper money in the courtyard.
She sighed and said, "The old lady is gone." ”
I thought to myself, "Mrs. Chai is really dead." ”
I was about to comfort her when she looked at the person behind me. Then he hesitated and said, "This one is ......."
I introduced: "This is Mr. Lu, a very capable Taoist priest. ”
She nodded. Mr. Oki barely smiled.
Mr. Lu said to her, "What do you call it?" ”
She hesitated for a moment, and then said, "My surname is Chai, so you can call me Sister Chai." ”
Mr. Lu is probably older than Sister Chai, but his mind is obviously not on this. He just nodded slightly.
Sister Chai pulled us to sit down. Poured us a glass of water.
I said, "The last time I saw Mrs. Chai, her body was still very strong, why did she suddenly do this?" ”
Sister Chai hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I haven't told anyone about this matter. Because even if they say it, others don't believe it. But Brother Zhao, you are different, you are a master of ghost hunting. So it doesn't hurt to listen to it. ”
As soon as I heard this, I knew that Mrs. Chai was afraid that she would die a little strangely, so I nodded and said, "Okay, you say." ”
Sister Chai said: "After finding my father's soul last time, we left Huaicheng and returned here. We're back, but we're always asking for news from you. ”
I was stunned for a moment: "What are you doing to inquire about my news?" Then I understood and said, "Is it for the Chung Yeung Festival?" ”
Sister Chai nodded: "Yes, it's for the Double Ninth Festival." It seems that the Chung Yeung Festival is getting closer and closer. But my mother's body began to collapse rapidly. She has been competitive all her life. Refuse to lose to men in any aspect. But in the past few months, she seems to want to return all the courage, courage, and strength that she had overdrawn in the first half of her life. In those days, she quickly grew old, and became an old lady who needed to go out on crutches. What she has to do every day is to count the calendars and see how long it is until the Chung Yeung Festival. ”
"But the Double Ninth Festival has passed, but you have never come, my mother is uneasy, I don't know if you survived. Still like my dad, he has become a terrible ghost. The people who sent out to inquire about the news all said that you were missing and had not been seen for months. When my mother heard the news, she gradually became disheartened. ”
I was ashamed in my heart, after the Chung Yeung Festival, I forgot all about Mrs. Chai. Leave her waiting.
Sister Chai continued: "Originally, she was thinking about the Double Ninth Festival in her heart. I was worried all day, and when I confirmed the news of your accident and no longer had hope, the whole person was relaxed. ”
She began to use her crutches and talk to people everywhere, like ordinary old ladies. But one day, when she passed by the nunnery, she found the entrance of the nunnery. Two red lanterns were hung. ”
I couldn't help but sit up straight: "That haunted nunnery? Of Kashiwa? ”
Sister Chai nodded and said, "Yes." When my mother saw the nunnery lit up, she knew it had a new owner. Her heart, which was already dead, became alive again. ”
I interjected, "She must have entered the nunnery, right?" ”
Sister Chai said rather melancholy: "Yes, she just entered the nunnery." ”
That night, she carried a lantern and walked out of the house. I don't want her to go, but no one else can decide what the old lady decides. She told me that life and death were uncertain, and no matter what the outcome was, I was not allowed to follow. If she does not return before dawn, she is not allowed to look for her in the nunnery. It's as if there has never been such a person in the world. ”
She took the lantern and left. The lantern flickered and flickered at night, getting farther and farther away from me. Then she turned a corner, and the lantern was gone. My eyes kept following that light. Now that the light is gone, I feel like my mother's life has dissipated. At that time, I always felt in my heart that something was going to happen. ”
Sure enough, by the next morning, she still hadn't returned. The next day I went to the nunnery from afar. I noticed that the red lantern hanging at the door was gone, replaced by a white paper lantern. It's the one my mom brought. I hesitated at the door for a long time, but in the end I didn't get in. Actually, I knew exactly what my mother meant when she left. With such a big family business, one person always needs to guard it, and our family must also leave a little incense. ”
"The next night, I was the only one left in the house. I couldn't sleep at all. So he stood in the courtyard and walked back and forth. I walked like this for a while, and suddenly I heard what seemed to be movement outside. I stopped and listened carefully. It didn't seem like there was anything outside. I knew that I was overthinking and probably hallucinating. However, I couldn't help but open the door to see what was going on. ”
"When I opened the door, I was pleasantly surprised to find that my mother was standing in the doorway, looking straight at me. Needless to say, I was happy in my heart. I hurriedly dragged her and said, Mom, why haven't you come in yet? ”
"My mom dodged for a while and didn't let me hold it. She pointed to the door gods attached to the two doors and said, "I can't get in with them." ”
My mother's words made my heart tug at a beat, but I didn't think much about it at the time, so I hurriedly tore the door god off. My mom just got home. I asked her, "What did you see in the nunnery?" Why didn't you come back all day? ”
"My mother waved her hand and said, don't ask, help me prepare something."
"I felt very strange in my heart, looking at her, not knowing what she was going to do. She asked me for a lot of things, incense and candles, paper money, white cloth, and even a coffin. ”
"At that time, the more I listened, the more wrong it became, and I hurriedly asked, Mom, what do you want these things for?"
At that time, she looked at me with very strange eyes and said, of course it is useful, you go and prepare. When I asked her again, she didn't say anything. "[Wonderful * pen * 閣~] miao pen ge. update fast
"I was very apprehensive in my heart, and I finally bought all the things she wanted. At this time, I found that she was cutting the white cloth, and then sewing it quickly with a thick needle and a large thread. Ten minutes later, she sewed the white cloth into two mourning clothes. ”
Then she looked up, smiled weirdly at me, and said, "Two clothes, one for you and one for me." I am wearing a shroud, and you are wearing a filial piety dress. ”
Sister Chai spoke very carefully, and my scalp tingled when I listened to it. Especially when I talked about the old lady holding the mourning dress in her hand and smiling weirdly, I couldn't help but move the chair back.
Sister Chai sighed, and then said: "At that time, I took off the mourning clothes and asked her what was going on. ”
"But my mom didn't say anything. She snatched her clothes back. Slowly put it on himself and said, I don't have much time. This home will be handed over to you. ”
Then she climbed into the coffin on her own. When she got in, I found that all the things she had ordered me to do all day were for funeral purposes, and there were a lot of all kinds of things. She was lying in the coffin, and seemed to be a little proud and said, I have no last resort in my life, even if I even arrange my own funeral, it is well arranged, girl, do you admire me? ”
"How can I still be in the mood to laugh with her at this time? Just nodded, and tears flowed. ”
