Chapter 3: Ghosts

When I woke up from the car again, I had already passed Chongqing, entered the Dazhou range, and I could reach Chengdu in a few hours.

My grandfather's death, and the fact that he was hiding it from me, made me feel very sad. Although I grew up and spent less and less time with my grandfather, in the time of my childhood, when there was nothing taboo, my grandfather was like a patron saint who did not smile.

Now, hearing the news of his death makes me feel as unreal as a dream, and I even think that the third grandfather is joking with me. In the car, I also confirmed to my parents that my grandfather had indeed passed away.

After five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun is about to set, the light is still sufficient, after the long-distance bus arrived in Chengdu, I transferred back to my hometown again, looked at the river under the bridge, and kept ringing in my mind the appearance of my grandfather when he was alive.

When I arrived at the door of my hometown, the white seal for the funeral had been removed, and the front of the door was even more desolate and dilapidated than last year. With a bang, I pushed open the wooden door of the courtyard dam and slowly walked in, the hall was open, and there was a posthumous image hanging on the wall in the middle, and an iron pot was placed under the root of the wall, which was full of paper ashes, and more than ten pillars of burned incense wax were inserted in the honeycomb coal.

The mourning hall has not been removed, but it looks extremely simple.

The third grandfather looked at me with a bang, his eyes were red and swollen, and he handed over a stack of paper money and three sticks of incense without saying a word, "The mourning hall has not been withdrawn, just waiting for you to come back." ”

I took the incense candle paper money, knelt down on the futon, slowly lit the incense candle and plugged it in, and threw the paper money into the iron pot to burn it, watching the bright flame ignite, I was angry and sad in my heart, suppressed the anger, and said in a deep voice: "What about my parents? ”

"They're busy, they're done and they're leaving." The third grandfather is much younger than the grandfather, only a little in his early sixties, and his body is not like an old man. He took a stack of paper money and burned it with me, "Brother worked so hard to support this family, and finally raised his son and married a daughter-in-law, what was the result?" It's still like this. ”

As he spoke, his eyes flowed with tears.

"How did my grandfather die?" I closed my eyes and threw all the paper money in my hand, what virtue do my parents have, and how can I, as a son, not know?

But what can I do? Do you beat them or scold them?

The third grandfather wiped his tears, "Brother, I haven't eaten or drunk for a few days, it's like falling asleep, and I can still hear 'um' when I talk to him, I made a meal and called him that night, who knows that I will never wake up." ”

Fortunately, it should be regarded as the end of my life, I can only comfort myself in my heart like this, at least there is no scene that I am afraid of appearing.

After burning the paper, I kowtowed three times respectfully, ready to get up and ask the third grandfather to take me to the grave to have a look. At this time, the sound of a car suddenly sounded outside the door, and the sound of braking was very loud and urgent, and the third grandfather hurriedly ran over to open the door, muttering, "Most likely the second brother is back, most likely the second brother is back!" ”

One of the few people who got out of the car was indeed the second grandfather, and the three brothers all looked very similar, especially the second grandfather and grandfather were the most similar, but the second grandfather had a big back and white hair, and a pinch of gray beard on his chin, much like the villain in the movie.

Among the three brothers, it is estimated that the second grandfather is the most imposing one.

The second grandfather crossed the third grandfather expressionlessly, patted his shoulder without a trace and walked to the front of the hall, he looked at me and did not speak, picked up the paper money and incense candles on the ground, and suddenly knelt down.

The corners of his eyes moistened, and a tear rolled down.

After a long time, the last piece of paper money burned out.

"Where's Big Brother's stuff?" Burning paper money, he kept his eyes on his grandfather's portrait.

The third grandfather was a little confused, and subconsciously asked, "What is it?" My brother didn't seem to have anything left, so he left without even saying a word. ”

"The third child!" His gaze shifted to the third grandfather, "The black wooden box of the eldest brother, you should know what he contains, give it to me for safekeeping, it is safer than putting it on you." ”

Originally, I was on fire in my heart, but when I heard the conversation between the two, I was even more annoyed, and blurted out directly: "Second grandfather, you came to think about his things just after my grandfather died?" How can a man do that? ”

"How?"

The second grandfather patted the paper ash on his pants, stood up and walked towards his grandfather's room, and said as he walked: "What are you involved in as a junior?" ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand and asked a few people who came with him to go in and search, and it didn't take two efforts to find a black wooden box from a dark compartment under the bed and put it on the table, his hands trembled obviously, and his eyes flashed with an inexplicable look.

"Let go of my grandpa's stuff!" I wanted to rush over, but I was stopped by the two of them, so I had to roar at him: "I finally understand, you come back once a year, and the things you send are getting more and more valuable every time, in fact, you are actually thinking about grandpa's things, right?" No wonder Grandpa throws those things out like garbage every time you leave. ”

The second grandfather glanced at me and scolded directly: "Understand the hammer!" Get out of the way. ”

After speaking, he asked people to smash the lock open, and couldn't wait to open the box, I looked up, it was empty, and I couldn't help sneering in my heart, it seems that grandpa still had the foresight to know that things can't be hidden here, so he hid it.

Well? At this time, I noticed that there seemed to be a black thing at the bottom of the box, which could not be what the second grandfather was looking for. Soon the second grandfather also noticed that there was still something inside, so he reached for it.

Suddenly, he heard his 'ah' cry, his hand retracted as if it had been electrocuted, and he looked at the thing with fear. I struggled with the restraints of the two and rushed to the front, only to see a pair of pitch-black scissors, that is, scissors, quietly placed in the box.

The workmanship is very rough, not like it is made with modern technology, and I have not heard of any manufacturer whose scissors are pure black.

I wanted to reach out and grab that thing, but suddenly the third grandfather grabbed my wrist, shook his head and said, "No, that thing is not a good thing!" It's best not to touch! ”

At this time, the second grandfather asked, but he was still a little afraid when he looked at the scissors in his eyes: "This scissors were left by the eldest brother?" I don't remember him having this thing! ”

The third grandfather looked at the scissors, and finally looked at me, and said with deep eyes: "Baby, this thing almost killed you when you were a child, it is a ghost thing, and mortals can't touch it." ”

I was a little anxious, "What the hell is going on?" Why do I get more confused the more I listen to you! ”

The second grandfather slowly closed Kuroki Kuroko, stared at the hall tightly and said, "A terrible thing happened on the night you were born in 87. ”

PS: The second more is delivered.
