Chapter 5: The Picture of the Lonely Grave
Since eating that full meal, the family can be regarded as a harmonious and harmonious down, the daughter-in-law is so filial, and the grandmother who has many children has nothing to say, so she said that the work in the fields at home is contracted to our wife to do, the daughter-in-law is a face-saving person, and the daughter-in-law has handed over the big and small things to the daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law also readily accepts it, so that the family has a rare mild atmosphere for a few days.
But the daughter-in-law came back again and brought back a painting inexplicably, the family thought about it, the four walls of the house were bitterly cold, there was not even a decorative decoration in the house, and the things that were slightly stained with ink were the paintings that the daughter-in-law had just brought back.
What is painted on this painting is not what kind of landscape color clouds, nor is it a calligraphy of Zhihengyan, but it is a very strange painting, the old man looked at it for a while, in this painting, this painting is not the mountain in front of the house, and the lonely tomb under the mountain is also painted in it, the old man looked at it, just such a mountain and a lonely tomb, so strange!
But the daughter-in-law said, it's just a painting, and the person who paints doesn't have any college questions, it's very good to be able to draw this, so it's going to take a look, so, the old man doesn't care about anything, hang it, but the old man always thinks that painting an old lonely grave in a painting is not a good sign, just imagine how there is an old lonely grave in the painting hanging in the back wall of the middle hall, although the old man doesn't know what ghosts and gods, but the designation is not very auspicious.
There is a daughter-in-law who thinks that it is not a big deal, and the old man naturally doesn't even dare to say anything, in case he provokes his daughter-in-law, it is not worth smashing the house to you again, the old man silently continues to do farm work, clean up the vegetable field in front of him, and the family is safe for the time being.
But the next day, the old man did not go down to work in the field early in the morning, but kept looking at the painting on the middle hall, and when the daughter-in-law got up, the old man asked cautiously: "Duozi Niang, how did I find out that this painting is wrong, I always feel that something is missing, you can take a look." ”
Who knew that the mother of many sons didn't look at it, and then left a sentence and immediately went to the door: "What's there, isn't it just a broken painting, I'm busy going out!" ”
And at this time, the only one who can know grandma's heart is Duozi, who saw that grandma was depressed all day long, so he asked: "Grandma, what's wrong with you?" ”
The old man smiled bitterly, shook his head again and again, and said, "It's nothing, it may be that I am tired for many days, and my eyes are spent." ”
Duozi didn't ask anything anymore, and the matter passed silently.
Early in the morning of the third day, the old man stayed in front of the painting again, and was very close to the painting, she kept looking, looking back and forth, until the mother of many children got up, and the old man asked in surprise: "Duozi Niang, this painting of our family is really a little wrong, you look at the lonely grave in the painting, the soil on the grave is obviously much less than the previous two days, this ......"
Duoziniang immediately glanced at it, and casually threw down a sentence: "It's not like that, it's okay for you to see the flowers, I'll go out and get busy." ”
"Go ahead......" The old man sat down on the wooden bench slowly, and said with a sluggish expression, and then stared at the painting again until Tako shook the old man's arm vigorously, and then pulled the old man back to reality.
Of course, at the end of this day, the old man talked less, and his spirit was not as good as before, it seemed that whether she was at home or in the field, her eyes would glance at the door of the house from time to time, and Tako knew that her grandmother was looking at that painting, that strange painting.
In the early morning of the fourth day, the old man banged on his daughter-in-law's door and shouted again and again: "Duozi Niang, come out and have a look!" ”
After Duoziniang was still lazy and got up, the old man was already anxiously waiting in the hall, and hurriedly pointed to the painting on the middle hall and said, "Look at the grave in there...... Half of the soil on it is missing, this grave, this grave is still half left! ”
The daughter-in-law also looked at it carefully, and immediately scolded angrily: "You are dizzy with old eyes! What's half left? That painting is obviously still the same, that lonely grave is not that lonely grave, you think too much, I went out to get busy. ”
After hurriedly speaking, the daughter-in-law turned her head and left, leaving only the old man staring at the painting blankly, refusing to eat, and rarely going out to clean up the vegetable field.
Tako said that he was not afraid of his mother, but he was afraid of his mother's trouble with his grandmother, so he obeyed his grandmother for everything, and so far, the painting was not taken down, and Tako said that he also felt that the tomb above the painting was much smaller, and it seemed that the soil on it was loosening and decreasing day by day.
Soon on the fifth day, early in the morning, Tako's grandmother sat in the hall and sobbed softly, and when Tako looked at the painting, she was immediately shocked that the grave on the painting was gone!
The fact that the grave is missing does not mean anything, but a pitch-black coffin under the grave is exposed, although only a black coffin corner is exposed, but this also makes the old and the young frightened.
After the daughter-in-law got up, she reprimanded the old and the young without saying anything, the old man was not a taste in his heart, and the many sons also hid something in their hearts, the two went out to clean up the vegetable fields, and the mother of many children also went out, the atmosphere at home gradually became very solemn, so that many children felt a cold breath, he thought that his mother had become terrible, it was the kind of terrible that could not be said, she used to scold out loudly or throw things to vent her anger, and this time, she was obviously very cold to her grandmother, But he acted like he was fine, which made Tako a little afraid to see his mother......
On the sixth day, Tako was awakened by a scream from his grandmother in the hall, and when he got up, he saw that his grandmother was already unconscious in the hall, and Tako looked at the painting urgently, and the strange thing was that the painting was actually the same as when his mother had just brought it back, it was still a tall mountain, and at the foot of the mountain was an old lonely tomb, just sitting, but ...... But why was Grandma stunned?
It wasn't until her mother left behind the phrase "old and immortal" and then strode out of the house that Tako tried her best to wake up her grandmother, and the first thing she did when she opened her eyes slightly was to hurriedly look at the painting!
