Chapter 6: The Seventh Day of Death
Grandma watched it for a long time before she wiped the sweat from her forehead in a trance, and muttered incoherently: "How can this be? How so? Am I really dazzled? ”
Duozi immediately asked anxiously, "Grandma, what's wrong with you?" What do you see? Nothing has changed in this painting, huh? ”
Grandma turned her head to look at Duozi, and said in a trembling voice: "Duozi, grandma's good grandson...... Grandma's days are numbered, grandma...... There's nothing to worry about, since your grandfather left, he has already taken me away, and the only thing I'm worried about is you...... Woo~~~ You are the only seedling in our family, if I can't bear to leave, leaving you alone, and guarding such a living god mother all day long, how should I explain to your grandfather...... Woo woo woo ~ ~~ "
Duozi slowly wiped the tears on her grandmother's face with her little hands, and choked up and comforted: "Grandma, don't cry, you won't die, Duozi won't let you die......"
Grandma turned her head to look at the painting again, then sighed deeply, and said, "Human life is decided by heaven, you should let you go, you can't escape, don't let you go...... It's to let you suffer in this world, one day you've had enough of sin, and you can leave coolly, Duozi, grandma just can't let you go...... Woo woo woo ~ ~~ "
"Grandma! Woo woo woo ~ ~~ "
Speaking of this, Tako suddenly choked and screamed at the well, and then lay on the edge of the well and cried bitterly......
I immediately asked, "Tako, what did your grandmother see on the sixth day?" Why did she pass out? ”
Duozi raised his head with tears and said with a slight choked voice: "I don't know, grandma doesn't want to say anything in her heart, she just said that she has never done anything bad in her life, let alone asked someone to do something, and when she was old, in order not to let me starve to death, I begged my mother once, woo~~~"
Looking at Duozi who couldn't stop crying, I couldn't bear to come forward to disturb, mentioning the only grandmother in the world who loved him, he was sad as he should, I wiped off the moisture in my eyes, reached out and gently patted Duozi's little shoulder, this weak little boy still has a manly heart of benevolence and filial piety, admirable!
After Tako's mood calmed down a bit, I then asked, "Then on the sixth day, did your grandmother die?" ”
Tako hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, although I don't know what grandma saw on that day, I know that she didn't die on the sixth day, but ......"
Speaking of the time of the death of Grandma Duozi, I have to listen to Duozi later, on the sixth day and all day, Grandma didn't say a word, and she didn't eat a bite of food, Duozi is a big ghost, he really wants to know what's strange about that painting, so he desperately suppresses his drowsiness, and wants to get up before dawn to see what new tricks will appear in that painting, sure enough!
On the seventh day, before dawn, Duozi rubbed his painful sleepy eyes, but there was no sleep for a while this night, for fear of missing the time, but when Duozi got up quietly, he found that his grandmother's bed was empty, and his grandmother had gotten up early!
Tako immediately thought of the painting in the hall, so he crept to the door, and then opened the door little by little, and through the crack in the door, Tako was shocked to see that her grandmother was slumping to the ground, and the painting, that painting......
The lonely grave on the painting has actually become a coffin, a large coffin with black paint!
Moreover, the mouth of the coffin was open, Tako trembled all over, he felt that his heart was about to jump to his throat, he wanted to rush out of the door, he wanted to see how his grandmother was doing, but he was afraid, really afraid......
Grandma still had an oil lamp lying to the ground at her hand, and the wick was burning at an angle, and the withered yellow and faint light shone on the terrible picture of the painting, a skeleton, standing by the well at the edge of the vegetable field, with its head still slightly hooked, as if looking at the well, right? Tako couldn't see it, he knew one thing, he saw a skeleton outside the coffin, ready to jump into the well-
Duozi remembered screaming in horror before he fell unconscious, but he couldn't remember whether he called him or not, but he just knew that when he woke up, he was already lying on the bed, and his grandmother was not in the room, he hurriedly got out of bed, opened the door and prepared to find his grandmother, as soon as he opened the door, a strong smoky smell suddenly came to his nose!
The mother was actually burning something, and the many sons stepped forward to see that it was nothing else, it was this picture scroll that tortured the grandmother to death, but why did the mother suddenly burn it again? Could it be that her conscience has found out? Wrong! What about grandma? Where did Grandma go?
Suddenly looking up and seeing many sons, the mother's face turned cold, and she scolded coldly: "What are you doing so early?!" If you can't sleep, go to the farm! ”
When Tako heard her mother say this, tears fell unconsciously, and she glared at her mother angrily, and Tako slammed the door and ran out.
"Grandma? Grandmother! Grandmother?! ……”
Duozi in the front yard and backyard, looking all over, did not see the figure of grandma, because the sky is not yet bright, so the line of sight is restricted, and can not see far, hazy, Duozi heard a trace of weak sobbing from a distance, he fixed his eyes, the edge of the gray vegetable field, by the well, but there is not a figure sitting there, Duozi's voice is slightly choked: "Grandma ......"
"Plop!"
Just as Tako was about to rush to the well, he saw that the figure had been thrown into the well, and Tako lost control of his emotions for a while, and almost ran to the well with all his strength, shouting loudly at the well: "Grandma! Grandmother! Grandma ......"
Until Tako shouted hoarsely, until ...... Until there was a burst of dog barking from Shangshanpo Village, close to a noisy sound, this is undoubtedly the cry of Tako alarmed the people of the neighboring villages, and they are rushing to this side at this moment.
And at this moment, Duozi only felt a heavy shoulder, one big hand pressed his shoulder, and the other big hand covered his mouth, picked it up, and quickly rushed to the door, it was his mother! The moment Duozi stopped, he hurriedly looked back, wasn't it his mother who brought him back, Duozi looked at his mother in a daze, his eyes and heart were full of doubts, horror, and even disgust!
He really wondered why he was why, why did his grandmother die, why did he hang any picture scrolls at home for no reason, why did he do all this?!
When the villagers arrived, the mother of many sons immediately cried and shouted: "Mother-in-law, where did you go in the middle of the night~~~Woo~~ Are you dead or alive and say a word, woo woo~~~"
