Chapter 6: Grandpa's Revised Story (1)

The time is close to night, the light is getting darker and darker, the old bamboo forest sounded a few birds fluttering their wings, occasionally a few crows in the forest Karma ~ Karma ~ calling, with the night, the forest began to cool down, the back began to chill.

The third grandfather looked at me strangely, didn't make a sound, just walked to the front and asked me to go back, walked for a while, and saw that I was still staying in place, so I couldn't help but say, "Don't stay here at night, go back with me first." ”

"It's okay to go back, you have to tell me the truth!" The third grandfather sighed inexplicably, nodded, moved his head slowly, and walked out.

I hesitated for a moment and looked at the exposed coffin, and said, "What about my grandfather's grave?" You can't just leave it there! ”

The third grandfather didn't look back, but said, "Don't worry, I'll come back tomorrow, even if there is gold here at night, the nearby thieves don't have the courage to come in." ”

As soon as he said that, I had no choice but to do that. But out of the old bamboo forest, I still can't help but look back, the inside is getting darker and darker, and a layer of bamboo leaves on the ground begins to rise a layer of mist, which looks more eerie and mysterious from the outside, yes! If a person walks here, as long as he is not blind, he will never dare to enter it.

When I returned to the old house, I made a phone call to my parents, saying that I had been here tonight and would come back tomorrow.

Scare me, after hanging up the phone, look towards the third grandfather's room, the lighting is a little dim, and sometimes the voices of the characters on the TV are heard, and the furniture in it is all products that are derailed from the times, as soon as you step in, it is like returning to the turbulent era-like sense of sight, the dim light casts the shadow of the third grandfather on the tattered wall, dragging it for a long time, like a monster with a very long waist sticking to the wall with teeth and claws.

It turns out that the stove at home is dilapidated and can't be used to cook, so I have to cook a little in the room, after all, people are old, and there is no one else at home.

I felt a little emotion in front of the shabby and low dining table, holding the dishes and chopsticks, but I didn't know how to eat.

"What do you think, don't think about it! What do you want when everyone is gone? The third grandfather took a slow sip of wine and motioned for me to have a drink too.

I shook my head, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and asked, "What you said to the second grandfather just now is actually false." ”

"What is fake and true, people are gone!" The third grandfather didn't look at me, drinking wine and eating white water radish, looking very comfortable.

I took off the string of black beads the size of a glass ball around my neck and put it on the table, "How do you explain this?" I've looked for a lot of jade jewelry shops in the city, and none of them can tell what kind of material it's made of. And what did my grandfather say, and what happened to the yin qi? Third grandfather, you must know a lot, right? ”

"Ouch, put it on, put it on!" The third grandfather hurriedly put down the cup, picked up the beads and put them around my neck, "If they can see what flowers come from, then it's called hell, even your second grandfather may not know this kind of thing." ”

My suspicions became heavier and heavier, and I asked reluctantly, "What the hell is this?" ”

The third grandfather looked at me for a long time before he slowly spoke: "I don't know what to say, your grandfather told me, it's better not to let you know." ”

"Is it related to the incident in Shaanxi twenty years ago?" I asked.

The third grandfather picked at the table, looked up at the beads around my neck and said, "The story your grandfather told you back then is actually true, but the revised story, don't you want to know what the string of nine pairs of beads around your neck is?" ”

He drank the rest of the wine in his cup in one gulp, took a deep breath and said, "Don't be afraid! ”

"You mean! I've seen all the ghosts, and what could be more terrible than that! I stood up anxiously, "Besides, ghosts aren't necessarily that scary. ”

"Huh! Well, ghosts are not scary! That's for another reason. The third grandfather asked me to sit down, staring at me with an inexplicable look in his eyes and saying, "Those nine pairs of beads are actually the eyeballs of the shadow corpse." ”

Shadow corpses? My hand shook, the string of beads in my hand fell to the ground, and my body involuntarily leaned back.

This result is a bit unacceptable to me, what the hell is going on? Why is the bead that my grandfather gave me such a dirty thing, grandpa can't have the intention of disgusting me, or want to hurt me.

Thinking about this, I feel a little calmer.

The old man's thin hand picked up the beads and threw them in front of me, and his eyes glared fiercely: "I don't know how to cherish it, your grandfather went to Shaanxi to dig other people's graves because he wanted to raise these nine pairs of eyeballs for you. ”

Grandpa made it specifically for me? But why do you want to use such a terrible thing to make a string of beads for me to wear, at this moment I am not only a little sad in my heart, but also panicked, and I vaguely feel that there must be other hidden secrets in this.

The third grandfather poured the wine again and asked me to quickly put the beads on.

Then, he spoke: "I still have to start from the night you were born, you have been weak and sickly, and often the whole person will be cold for a while, hot fever for a while, so that the whole family is heartbroken, and then your grandfather suddenly came to me one day, saying that you may only live to be twenty years old, but he has found a way to keep you safe, but someone must help him." I naturally know what he said, our Li family is your only seedling, and I agreed without thinking so much about it at that time.

It seems that your grandfather knew the location in advance, and we squatted in the mountain for more than ten days, and the things he was looking for were the places where people were buried in nearby villages, not at all the hillsides that your grandfather told in his story, the old woods and the like, in fact, it was a cemetery facing southwest. In order to hide people's eyes, we learned from your second grandfather who dug a thief hole and opened the coffin directly from the ground to take the corpse.

Your grandfather said that he was infected by yin qi, but in fact, he was scratched by a frightened shadow corpse at that time, although he pulled out the corpse poison, but he was also infected with corpse qi, and his body not only deteriorated, but also often accompanied by a foul smell, which is one of the reasons why your parents wanted to move away. ”

I looked at the black eyeballs hanging around my neck, and I couldn't help but shudder in my heart, and asked, "Why don't you use other methods, you have to use this?" ”

"How do I know!" The third grandfather took a sip of wine and replied: "Your grandfather didn't tell me everything, anyway, he said at the time that other methods were useless, so I could only use this, it seems that it was because of your body, grandpa and I don't know very well, but you said that you have seen ghosts, I believe it, you didn't open your yin eyes, maybe it was also because of the incident of receiving the yin woman." ”

Speaking of which, the third grandfather also seemed to be a little tired, but he was still chewing on the leaves.

So I asked one last question.

"How did that village disappear?"

The third grandfather's chewing mouth stopped, and he trembled unconsciously, as if he had fallen into the original memory, and muttered, "You really want to know?" ”

I nodded.
