Chapter Thirty-Nine: Grandpa's New Taboo
My mind went completely blank and I was stupid. Xiaobai scolded and got up from the ground, but I felt cold and lay motionless on the ground.
Thinking back to the scene just now, my heart throbbed. When I grabbed my grandfather's sleeve, his old man had a cold expression and pushed me away.
Grandpa's strength was very strong, and I was defenseless at all, and this fall really made me stupid. I didn't care about the physical pain, but it was really hard for me.
Grandpa must have been angry, when he was a child, he pulled his old man's sleeve and was coquettish, no matter what he was busy with, he would always reach out and touch my head, showing a warm smile.
"I ...... Did I really break my grandfather's heart? I lay on the ground in a daze, muttering to myself.
After I fell, my grandfather didn't look at me more, and walked cleanly to the morgue, his increasingly rickety figure gradually disappearing from my sight.
Xiaobai pulled me, but it made my heart so dead that I didn't want to move at all. Xiaobai couldn't help frowning, and muttered in a low voice: "Fanzi, what are you crazy about?" ”
I smiled bitterly, he didn't understand my mood at all. Since I was a child, I have been dependent on my grandfather, and although I have caused trouble for my grandfather before, I always feel that no matter how I toss, my grandfather will forgive me.
Later, I came to Haicheng to work alone, and I didn't go back to see my grandfather for more than three years. I thought that no matter when I went back, my grandfather would see me again, and he would have a smiling face like before.
In the past few days, I have repeatedly encountered danger, and it was my grandfather who came to my rescue. To be honest, my heart is full of guilt for my grandfather, but at the same time I am also very happy, which shows that my grandfather still cares about me.
No matter what difficulties and dangers I encounter, when I think of my grandfather still standing behind me, I will feel a warmth in my heart, and my grandfather is my well-deserved spiritual support.
I didn't expect to see my grandfather again, and he was so cold to me, almost treating me like a stranger. Did I really break my grandfather's heart? What should I do now?
In this world, I only have one relative, his old man. If grandpa doesn't want me anymore, leaving me alone in this world, Yu Yu is alone, and it is difficult for me to accept it just by thinking about it.
I'm not the kind of person who is hypocritical, and I don't usually have a problem with sentimentality. Xiaobai saw that my reaction was so abnormal, and immediately sensed that something was not right.
He crouched down, sat down next to me, and whispered, "What's going on?" Is it too excited to see the old man for too long? ”
I didn't answer, Xiaobai sighed, and took out a cigarette from his pocket. He took a puff and shoved it into my mouth.
"What the hell is going on with you? It's rare to see you like this, so what can you tell me. Xiaobai asked worriedly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a rapid bell rang from inside the morgue. Grandpa's voice followed, as if chanting an obscure incantation.
"Ahh Tian Xin's screams made me tremble.
Xiaobai's face became unnatural, his face was wrinkled like a bitter melon, and he lamented in a low voice: "Tian Xin is miserable, if he falls into the hands of the old man, can he still be good?" The old man has a good heart, but his hands are too black! Don't pay too much attention to what happened just now, you still don't know what the old man's personality is? ”
The second half of his sentence was obviously used to comfort me, I smiled bitterly, and reached out to remove the cigarette from the corner of my mouth: "In your impression, my grandfather has always been so serious and unkind, right?" ”
I would love to tell Xiaobai that I have the impression that grandpa was kind most of the time, at least to me.
Xiaobai nodded subconsciously, then quickly shook his head and smiled embarrassedly: "It's not so exaggerated, the old man is just serious about his work, although he has suffered a lot, but I know that his old man is also good for me." ”
This sentence Xiaobai said is right, when grandpa laid a talisman on him, he really made him suffer a lot. But the grandfather is also trying to minimize the sequelae, so as not to cause damage to Xiaobai's body.
"You should also know that the old man never let people touch his body. Last time, I accidentally touched the old man's arm, and I was almost kicked by his old man. You were too impulsive just now, you shouldn't have rushed up and grabbed the old man's sleeve. Xiaobai pouted and complained.
I was stunned, not quite understanding what he meant. Was he comforting me and telling me that I shouldn't grab Grandpa's sleeve just because he didn't like people touching him?
That's not right, grandpa has never been used to this before. When I was a child, I spent most of my time in my grandfather's arms, and when I was older, my grandfather would often hold my hand and help people around.
Not only that, even if it is an outsider, grandpa never cares about these. Shaking hands with others and looking at palmistry or something, it often happens, and I haven't seen what grandpa did to anyone.
"I thank you for your comfort, but you don't have to arrange my grandfather like this, he is not so pretentious." I felt a little upset in my heart and couldn't help but roll my eyes.
Xiaobai was anxious and shouted: "How dare I arrange the old man? Have you not seen him for so long that you have forgotten what taboos he has? ”
Seeing that I still didn't believe it, Xiaobai explained seriously: "It was too dark at that time, I followed the old man, almost tripped over something, and accidentally grabbed the old man's arm. He kicked me away and told me never to touch his body. ”
Not only that, Xiaobai also told me that when Tian Jianjun met my grandfather for the first time, he originally wanted to shake hands with my grandfather. As a result, grandpa didn't care about Tian Jianjun at all, which made Tian Jianjun embarrassed.
Later, his grandfather also explained to Tian Jianjun, saying that he was unwilling to let anyone touch his body, which was one of his old people's taboos.
"Really?" I asked, frowning.
I can't go wrong with my memory, my grandfather really didn't have this taboo before, at least before I left home and came to Haicheng, he never showed such a side in front of anyone.
"Hey, I'm not full, isn't it interesting to lie to you when I'm idle?" Xiaobai shrugged.
Judging from Xiaobai's various reactions, he really didn't lie to me, I know him too well. When he lies, there will inevitably be some subtle movements, and I can find out.
I wondered in my heart, what happened to my grandfather in the past few years, and why was it so strange and taboo? His old man is so cold to me, is it really just because of this taboo?
Suddenly, Zhang Yang appeared at the door of the hall and shouted: "You two come in, Old Man Chen has something to explain." ”
Zhang Yang's expression looked serious, and before the two of us could respond, he had already turned and walked towards the morgue.
Xiaobai muttered softly: "What are you dragging, this attitude is really bad." ”
I glanced at Xiaobai, but there was no response. Zhang Yang does have the qualifications to drag, his skills are very good, and it is estimated that even Xiaobai is not his opponent.
Of course, I'm referring to the novice under normal circumstances. With the talisman that his grandfather laid on Xiaobai's back, Xiaobai's strength doubled in a short period of time, which would be really brave if he recovered.
After listening to Xiaobai's words just now, my heart was occupied by doubts again. If you think about it, my grandfather seems to have changed a lot compared to before, and I'm not sure what my grandfather's attitude is towards me.
Since grandpa has something to explain, of course I can't waste time thinking about what I don't have, and I can't behave too badly and disappoint grandpa.
What annoyed me was that the Divine Talisman had failed at this point. I didn't want to get up just now, but now I don't have the strength to get up.
I felt like both of my legs were about to break, and every muscle in my body was throbbing. The slightest movement makes me gasp in pain.
Although Xiaobai was overused in the previous battle, he has gradually regained some strength, but he is more energetic than me. In desperation, I could only let Xiaobai help me up and help me to walk towards the morgue.
The lights in the morgue were bright, but they still couldn't hide the gloomy atmosphere. As soon as I entered the morgue, I saw Tian Xin lying on a mobile bed covered in white sheets, covered in blood.
Under her body, it had long been a pool of blood, and the smell of blood was strong and pungent. Seeing this kind of scene, my heart tightened, and I unconsciously worried about Tian Xin's safety.
Tian Jianjun stood by the bed, looking distressed. After looking around, I didn't see my grandfather, and I couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?" Tian Xin is okay? ”
Although Tian Xin's whole person looked like she had been washed in blood, her breath was very stable now, much better than when she was in her residence before.
Tian Jianjun sighed, his voice was a little hoarse: "She's fine, the situation has stabilized." Chen Fan, I'm sorry for this afternoon's incident. ”
I nodded, I guess he and Zhang Yang threw me down in Grandpa's plan, although I still didn't like him in my heart, but I didn't need to delve into him.
"Whoosh!" A burst of wind sounded.
I felt something coming at me, and instinctively tried to dodge, but it was still half a beat slower. An object the size of a quail egg flew into my mouth and went straight down my throat.
"Ahem...... What the hell is this? Xiaobai yelled a little nervously.
It seems that Xiaobai has also been tricked, he is worse than me, and that thing seems to have been swallowed by him. Xiaobai clenched his throat with difficulty, trying to spit out that thing.
What flew into the mouth tasted strange, with a faint earthy smell and a smell of Chinese medicine. I was about to spit it out, only to find that it had melted!
The thing melted in my mouth and went straight down my throat, and my mouth was instantly filled with a strange taste that made me nauseous.
"Vomit ......" I also followed Xiaobai's example, picking my throat, but I didn't spit out anything.
At this moment, my grandfather's figure suddenly appeared in front of me, and said expressionlessly: "That is the elixir to restore strength, which is beneficial and harmless to you." Come on, and you'll have to memorize everything I say next. ”
Grandpa's words should have been said to me, and after he finished speaking, he turned around and left directly. I took a deep breath and suddenly felt a shock to my spirit, and a warm current flowed through my body.
I tried to move, and sure enough, the strength of my whole body recovered at a very fast speed. Seeing that my grandfather was going to go away, I quickly pulled Xiaobai and chased after my grandfather.
After walking about ten meters forward, Grandpa stopped in front of a row of freezers and suddenly opened the freezer.
