Grandpa turned his back to us, and didn't notice that Jiang Li and I had secretly followed him here, and he said to his mother in an eager tone: "Don't go to see Xiao Wazi tonight, that Taoist priest has laid some things around to arrest you." ”

My mother's state was wrong, and after listening to my grandfather's words, she didn't react.

But because she was facing us, she saw us as soon as we arrived, and after Grandpa told her that, she raised her hand and pointed at us.

Grandpa turned his head suddenly, and the moment he saw me and Jiang Li, the whole person seemed to be suddenly deflated, trembling and unable to even stand on his feet.

Seeing that Grandpa had already seen us, Jiang Li and I walked over and approached Grandpa, Grandpa's face was like ashes, his chest was constantly rising and falling, and he looked very nervous.

Without waiting for Grandpa to speak, Jiang Li asked, "Old man, why are you pretending to be unconscious?" ”

When Jiang Li saw his grandfather, he told my father and grandmother that his grandfather was very good, better than others, and I thought Jiang Li was talking nonsense at that time, but now I understand.

Jiang Li could see early in the morning that his grandfather was pretending to be unconscious, but he never pierced it.

Grandpa is a reasonable person, and now that he was caught red-handed by us, he didn't even defend himself, and suddenly knelt down in front of Jiang Li, and the corners of his mouth trembled and said: "I know that I have done something inferior to a beast, I have a baby with my daughter-in-law, but I am buried in yellow mud to the age of my eyebrows, and I see lust and something lighter than anything else, I really have no way to do this kind of thing." ”

Grandpa's words have already shown that the baby was born to him and his mother.

Although I was young at that time, I could understand the seriousness of this matter, and people who thought about revenge in the countryside and a little sensible could know that this was something that God would not tolerate. My grandfather had always been very wise in the village, but he didn't expect to do such a thing.

I looked at my grandfather blankly, and suddenly felt that this old man was not the amiable grandfather I knew, and that he had too many things to hide from us.

Jiang Li asked again: "There must always be a reason for doing things, if you tell me the reason, I can minimize the impact of this matter." ”

Grandpa shook his head and was unwilling: "If this kind of embarrassing thing spreads, my old Chen family's face will be lost, Xiao Wazi is still young, I can't let him be scolded by someone pointing at the backbone, you are his master, you definitely don't want to see Xiao Wazi can't straighten his waist in the future, I beg you, let me take this matter to the ground, don't ask." ”

After Grandpa finished speaking, he kowtowed to Jiang Li. Although this incident of grandpa also had a great impact on Jiang Li, my grandfather's generation was always his elder, and he couldn't bear grandpa's kowtow, so he immediately pulled grandpa up.

As soon as I pulled it up, my mother's mouth squeezed out the word she had told me before: "Run." ”

Jiang Li immediately turned to my mother: "You know what, right?" ”

But my mother didn't answer Jiang Li, turned around and got into the woods next to her, and disappeared after a short time.

After my mother left, my grandfather said: "Master Jiang, I beg you one thing, you take Xiao Wazi to the Taoist temple, don't take Xiao Wazi to stir up this matter again, count me as the last thing I beg you for this old bone, they want to harm my old Chen family, you are still young, maybe even you will have to follow their way." ”

After my grandfather finished saying this, before Jiang Li and I could react, he suddenly rushed forward and slammed into the old locust tree in front of my mother's grave.

Jiang Li immediately ran over, but it was too late, and the grandfather used too much force, even his own skull was cracked, and he died with his eyes staring.

Jiang Li frowned, and immediately took a talisman and stuck it on my grandfather's head.

I stood dumbfounded, tears couldn't stop flowing, no matter what my grandfather did wrong, he was always the old man who loved me, and he died suddenly, and I couldn't bear such a big blow.

Jiang Li glanced at his grandfather a few times, then looked at me again and said: "Your grandfather is determined to die, and he will not let me investigate this matter again, the purpose is to protect you, I respect your grandfather's opinion, but also respect your opinion, if you don't want to know the truth of the matter, you tell me, I won't investigate." ”

I hesitated for a long time, then finally nodded and said I wanted to know.

Jiang Li just said lightly, and then carried his grandfather home.

Dad found that my grandfather was missing at home, and found that Jiang and I were not at home, so he panicked, and immediately found the second grandfather, and came to us with the second grandfather, and finally met us on the edge of the weir pond.

Dad and the second grandfather saw the grandfather with a cracked head on Jiang Li's back, and they lost their voices at that time, and the second grandfather pointed to his grandfather after a while and asked, "What's wrong with my brother?" How so? ”

Jiang Li only said: "Go home and say." ”

There is a custom in the countryside that when the elderly reach the age of 60, they will prepare a coffin shroud for themselves in advance, so as not to die suddenly one day, and it is a trouble not to even have a coffin.

When they got home, they put their grandfather in the coffin, and the second grandfather asked what happened.

Jiang Li dealt with the second grandfather and called my father and grandmother into the side house.

Dad's eyes were red and swollen, and he wanted to cry, but he didn't dare to cry.

As for grandma, she couldn't suppress her emotions at all, and asked Jiang Li while crying: "What the hell is going on, why did you sleep for a few hours, and it became like this." ”

Jiang Li told his father and grandmother the truth.

said that grandpa had been pretending to be unconscious before, and that baby was also born to grandpa and my mother, and after grandpa and my mother were found at night, they crashed to death on the old locust tree.

After listening to Jiang Li's words, grandma and father were dumbfounded on the spot.

One is his wife, the other is his own woman, they heard their own knots, and their father's fists were blue, and he turned around and walked out the door: "I'll go and chop up that evil seed." ”

Jiang Li grabbed my father: "All the sins you have created will be borne by Chen Xiao, have you seen Chen Xiao's belly?" Investigate the cause and effect, it is because you are too righteous and angry, you should now find a way to explain the death of Chen Xiao and his grandfather, if this matter spreads, your Chen family will really not tolerate it. ”

Only then did Dad and Grandma realize what the most important thing was right now.

The two of them wiped their tears and discussed with Jiang Li for a while before going out, the second grandfather had been waiting at the door, he knew that there were some words he couldn't listen to, and when Jiang Li went out, he took the initiative to say: "I'll go back first to prepare the incense, candles, paper and money to sit at night, and when you are ready, put the three-eyed cannon to inform the villagers." ”

The three-eyed cannon is an object here, which divides an iron gun into three petals, fills it with gunpowder and lights the lead, which can make three cannon sounds, and once the three-eyed cannon sounds, the people in the nearby villages can judge who is dead according to the direction of the cannon sound.

The second grandfather left my house, Jiang Li asked me to kneel in front of my grandfather's coffin, they helped my grandfather change his shroud, wash his body, and then close the coffin lid halfway, and wait for the village to see grandpa for the last time tomorrow, and then the coffin can be closed.

But before the three-eyed cannon was fired the next morning, people from the village rushed to my house one after another.

As more and more people grew, they began to point to their grandfather's coffin and discussed, and someone pulled Jiang away and asked: "I heard that the old man of the Chen family his daughter-in-law, and that doll was born to the old man of the Chen family and his daughter-in-law, is that the case?" ”

Jiang Li immediately asked, "Who told you?" ”

The villagers said, "I listened to them. ”

Jiang Li's expression began to change, and he was originally going to hide this matter, but he didn't expect that it had only been a night, and they already knew about it.

We originally thought that the second grandfather said it, but later asked the second grandfather, and the second grandfather said that he began to prepare incense and candles when he went back, and he didn't say hello to the people in the village.

No matter how you say it, now, our Chen family has completely become the laughing stock of the village.

My father-in-law got a daughter-in-law and gave birth to a baby with my daughter-in-law, which is rare to see in a hundred years!

This funeral has become the most painful ceremony, there is no memory and sorrow that should be there, they are all discussing my grandfather and my mother.

My grandmother cried and fainted several times during this period, and my father kept hiding in a side house and did not dare to come out, he did not dare to face my grandfather, nor did he dare to face these villagers.

Therefore, Jiang Li was helping to handle the whole funeral, and he told me that someone was secretly playing tricks on this matter, otherwise others would not have known the news so quickly.

At night, the villagers played cards and chatted outside the mourning hall, and by the way, they all said that the dead might come back at night, and they were afraid of offending my dead grandfather, so they didn't talk nonsense until the night, and talked about other things.

Jiang Li and I sat next to the coffin, and when I saw my grandmother crying, I also cried, Jiang Li touched my head and said, "You are a man, now you are the pillar of your family, you can't cry, no matter how troublesome it is in front, you have to straighten your waist, you can't solve it, and Master." ”

I sighed and looked at Jiang Li with teary eyes, he was the best person for me except for my family.

As time went on, the people who were guarding the spirits outside left one by one and went back to sleep, and before two o'clock in the morning, there were not many people left in the mourning hall.

However, at this time, an uninvited guest came to the mourning hall.

Wearing a big red robe, the mother staggered into the hall, walked to the front of her grandfather's coffin, took out a stick of incense, lit it, and inserted it in the incense altar.

The people who remained here were stunned, and when my grandmother saw my mother, she immediately went crazy: "Crazy lady of dog days, if you dare to come back, I will hack you to death." ”

After finishing speaking, he ran into the house and took out a kitchen knife, about to cut my mother, but was stopped by Jiang Li.

My mother turned around and went straight into the house, held the baby, sat on the bed and fed the baby.

Jiang Li also entered the house after stopping his grandmother, stood at the door and said to my mother: "Your body has heavy yin energy, this child himself has yin energy, if you feed him again, the only remaining yang energy in his body will be dispelled." ”
