Chapter 68: Ascending the Coffin and Making a Fortune
After taking two steps, I fell headlong on the ground and struggled for a long time to get up. Grandpa is right, drinking is really a mistake, and now I'm so drunk that I can't even walk steadily.
After standing up, the fire inside the coffin was already fierce, making a "thunderclap" sound, and at the same time exuding a fragrance. Smelling the fragrance, my consciousness cleared up.
These people shouldn't be harming grandpa, grandpa is dead, and his old man took the initiative to lie in the coffin. Rao is like this, I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, and I don't want to see the scene in front of me.
Holding on to the wall and walking into the hall, I wanted to pounce on it and see my grandfather one last time. An old man hugged me: "Don't be impulsive, your grandfather was promoted and made a fortune, this is a good thing, don't bother." ”
The old man holding me had a lot of strength, and I couldn't break free. By the way, I know him, and we were sitting at the same table just now.
He was slightly chubby and looked rich, and I remember him talking about how I went to their fields to steal sweet potatoes when I was a kid. I should have an impression of stealing sweet potatoes, but I can't remember the original scene for a while.
"Get promoted and get rich? What do you mean? "I'm puzzled.
The old man smiled and shook his head: "Anyway, it's a good thing, don't rush up." If your tears fall on the coffin, your grandfather will not be promoted. ”
"Xiaofan, you don't understand what is going on here, let's leave quickly." Another old man interjected.
This old man is thin and wears black-framed glasses, he should be Grandpa Wang who helped me catch crickets when I was a child. I took a serious look at him, and the past came to mind.
Suddenly, my heart trembled, cold sweat oozed from my body, and I suddenly woke up most of the wine. I remembered, I remembered.
Grandpa Wang used to be the accountant of the village committee, and he was also one of the few cultural people in the village, so he talked to my grandfather. When I was a child, I did ask Grandpa Wang to help me catch a lot of crickets, but he has been dead for six years!
I also have an impression of the chubby old man, his surname is Cao, and he used to go to the town to sell vegetables. He is a good farmer in our village, and his family has a small savings by buying vegetables.
When I stole his sweet potatoes, I was only five years old, and I followed a few older children in the village to steal sweet potatoes and roast them. As a result, he was caught by Grandpa Cao, who was working in the vegetable field, and was scolded.
At that time, I was the youngest, and I was too timid, and I cried a lot. Grandpa Cao panicked, hurriedly coaxed me again, and then sent me home.
Later, I learned that his old man didn't feel sorry for those sweet potatoes, but he just couldn't get used to seeing us bear children scourge the crops. The other children were used to being scolded for a long time, and they didn't take it seriously at all, so I was scared to cry without any reason.
A few days later, Grandpa Cao went to the town to sell vegetables, and brought me a lollipop, telling me that I wanted to eat sweet potatoes in the future and went directly to his house to ask for them. After I got older, Grandpa Cao didn't make fun of me about it.
Recalling this warm and embarrassing experience, it should have been very comforting. But I can't be happy now, if I'm not mistaken, Grandpa Cao also passed away four years ago, and I went to help when I was buried.
"Grandpa Wang, Grandpa Cao, aren't you ......" I shuddered involuntarily and stammered a little when I spoke.
Grandpa Cao stared at me and smiled: "Finally remembered?" You kid, you don't have a good memory. ”
"It's so normal, now if I go home, my grandchildren won't even recognize it." Grandpa Wang shook his head with a wry smile.
My mind was in a state of confusion now, and I looked at the others, who were basically old people in the village who had passed away. I shook the tip of my tongue secretly, and the pain calmed me down.
Even if it was really the ghosts of those old people in the village who appeared in front of me, there was nothing to be afraid of. These are not outsiders, and I'm also Mr. Yin and Yang, so I can't be scared away, right?
"This ...... Is this a dream or not? I muttered to myself.
Grandpa Cao shook his head: "Alas, you don't understand the things here, so let's leave quickly." ”
"Let's go, let's go!" In an instant, almost everyone turned their heads to stare at me and opened their mouths to persuade me to leave, and the sound was deafening.
Grandpa Cao suddenly let go of me, and I fell to the ground defenselessly. The flames inside the coffin had been extinguished, and green smoke wafted out of the coffin, and the fragrance was overflowing.
"Giggles, get promoted and get rich!" The voice of the ghost boy reappeared.
The half-grown children who were busy with the water mat before were all transformed into ghost children, and I didn't even recognize them. Now they were back to their original form, and they let out eerie laughter.
The ghost boy swarmed around the coffin, stretched out a hand and lifted the coffin easily. With the other hand, he took out the gold ingots from his bosom and threw them out.
"Get promoted and get rich!" The ghost children shouted in unison.
"Get promoted and get rich!" The old people in the village also agreed.
I was stunned, this scene was so solemn and ceremonial. The gold ingots thrown by the ghost boy flew into the hands of the old people who watched as if they had eyes.
Immediately afterward, the old men divided into two columns in an orderly manner to make a way. The ghost boy carried the coffin forward, seemingly slowly, but at an astonishing speed.
In the blink of an eye, the coffin had been carried out of the door of our house. I only realized at this time, got up from the ground in embarrassment, and chased after the coffin.
"Grandpa!" I shouted, I always felt that as soon as Grandpa left like this, the two of us would really say goodbye forever.
"Let's go back!" It was Grandpa's voice, and it sounded like it was coming from the air.
I shook my head stubbornly, and suddenly a big hand behind me pressed my shoulder: "Go back!" ”
It was dark in front of my eyes, and I fell again. But I always felt like I didn't faint, but it was like someone was blocking my eyes and preventing me from seeing everything clearly.
Dark, icy ...... I lay on the ground, shivering. I felt imprisoned in my body, unconscious, and unable to open my eyes.
"Fanzi, how are you? What the hell is going on! "In a trance, someone shook my shoulder.
The voice was so familiar that I subconsciously wanted to open my mouth to speak, but my lips were numb and it was difficult to open my mouth, let alone make a sound.
"Fanzi, don't scare me! I'll give you warmth, you shouldn't be able to freeze to death on this kind of day. "The man hugged me, and the warmth of his body made me feel alive.
It took me a while before I finally came to my senses, but I still felt cold. Slowly opening my eyes, Da Meng's haggard and vicissitudes of life appeared in front of my eyes.
"Fanzi, are you awake?" Da Meng's voice was full of joy.
I looked around blankly, the sky was already bright, and the sun was shining on me, warm. Da Meng hugged me and smiled happily.
"No matter how uncomfortable you feel, you can't joke with your life. How much did you drink last night? I almost got drunk to death, if it's winter, you'll freeze to death! Da Meng suddenly asked with a straight face.
In his words, I sensed a lot of concern. Da Meng didn't know what happened last night, and thought I was too sad, so I drank too much.
When Da Meng arrived, I was lying on the ground cold, and I exuded a strong smell of alcohol, so it was no wonder that he thought so.
I sat up, had a splitting headache, and rubbed my temples to feel better. Whether or not what happened before was a dream or not, I can't be sure.
"That's right, Xiaobai and Zhang Yang!" I suddenly remembered these two guys.
My grandfather almost turned into an evil corpse last night, and both of them were knocked unconscious when my grandfather lost consciousness. Da Meng pouted: "The two of them are fine, lying over there." ”
The place where Xiaobai and Zhang Yang were lying was only one or two meters away from me. But they were in much better condition than I was, at least they were warm, not as cold as I was.
I breathed a sigh of relief knowing that they weren't in any danger. I asked Da Meng to try to wake the two guys up first, and sat down on the ground by himself, brushing up what had happened last night.
The Black Cat and the Venerable Civet have been eliminated, and our personal safety should not be threatened for the time being. Grandpa is gone, and he was picked up by the group of ghost boys.
I don't know very well whether the old people in the village are talking about "getting promoted to an official position and getting rich" or "getting rich by being promoted to a coffin". But I could feel that it should be a good thing for my grandfather.
Without the threat of black cats, we don't have to worry anymore. After my grandfather left, I didn't have to worry about it anymore. Now I only need to bury my grandfather in the ancestral grave of the Chen family in Shanghe Village, which should not be too difficult.
Thinking of this, I stood up and walked towards the crystal coffin in the center of the hall. When I walked to the coffin, I was stunned, and there was a small jar with a simple style inside the coffin.
Grandpa's body was gone, leaving only a jar. As far as I can remember, I should have seen this jar, but I can't remember where I saw it.
Picked up the jar and pressed a note underneath: "Buried in the ancestral grave of the Chen family!" ”
This is Grandpa's handwriting, and as expected, the jar contains Grandpa's ashes. No wonder my grandfather told me to bury his old man's ashes in the ancestral grave of the Chen family. What the old branch secretary told me was also ashes, not corpses.
I saw the scene of my grandfather being cremated, maybe it was real, not a dream. Grandpa probably knew that there would be such a show, so he arranged everything.
"Fanzi, are you alright? How did things work out last night? Xiaobai woke up, rushed to my side very nervously, and looked me up and down.
I shook my head: "It's okay, it's all over." ”
Zhang Yang moved his muscles and bones: "Hey, it hurts!" Chen Fan, is the urn in your hand? What happened? ”
Zhang Yang's judgment is very accurate, and what I am holding in my hand is indeed my grandfather's urn. But last night's incident, grandpa has orders, can't tell others.
Especially the things related to those ghost children, it is best to rot in the stomach. I hesitated for a moment and casually explained that it was enough for them to know that the danger was over.
After waking up, Zhang Yang hurried back to Seaside City. I promised to invite him to a big meal, but last night a few of us just made do with some instant noodles to cushion our stomachs, and we couldn't help it.
"It's okay, there's still a chance. There's still something to attend to on the beachfront, so I can't stay and help. I'll go back first, and you guys stay safe. Zhang Yang smiled heartily and handed me a few hundred yuan before leaving.
I didn't refuse, accepting the money is equivalent to having a favor, and Zhang Yang is very righteous and worthy of contact.
After Zhang Yang drove away, I took out the note given to me by the old branch secretary, and Xiaobai also used his mobile phone to find a map and study the address of Shanghe Village.
As soon as the map opened, Xiaobai's mobile phone rang, and it was a flamboyant call.
Xiaobai casually clicked the answer button, and Zhang Yang's hurried voice came out of the mobile phone: "Xiaobai, Chen Fan, you help pay attention, Tian Xin is missing!" ”
