Chapter 31: Grandma
What this man said may sound like gibberish to others, but Li Yang and I, who know the inside story, are extremely shocked. We took out the money and stuffed it into the man. Life is vast, the years are vicissitudes, this can be regarded as a kind of fate.
Now it seems that there is indeed a reincarnation in the world. This person, it is good to be in awe when you live, if you are cold and do everything, the way of heaven is impermanent, and there may be some retribution.
Li Yang spoke in place and said to the man: "Big brother, don't blame yourself too much, even if you demolished the temple in your previous life, it was forced by the great era." There is no justice in the world, and God does not care about your selfishness. ”
There was light in the man's eyes, and he said thank you.
We went out of Liu Yan's house, and Vice President Li asked us how we felt. Li Yang said: "I have a point in my heart, so I still look at the homes of other villagers for the sake of prudence. ”
The village is not big, there are more than 100 households, and we walked for a day, which was a hasty home visit. Li Yang held a small book in his hand and memorized it as he went, which contained symbols that only he could understand.
My legs and feet were sore, and I asked him if he had found them.
Li Yang looked at the notebook: "There are four children who are suspected, let's come one by one, starting with Liu Yan's house." He said to Kevin, "Can you do it to get a tattoo on a baby?" ”
It's the first time Kevin has communicated with us, it's about work, and this person is still very dedicated, and said seriously: "It's a little difficult, I've never done it." There are two main points to pay attention to in baby tattooing, one is to disinfect and the other is to ensure that the child cannot move in the process of tattooing. Especially the second point, the baby's skin is delicate, and the needle will not be painful, and if the body moves, there will be no tattoos. ”
Li Yang said: "What if you take sleeping pills? ”
I coughed, "Don't come nonsense. Feeding a baby sleeping pills is unconscionable. ”
Li Yang sighed: "I just said it in passing, no matter how much I can't do that kind of thing." Just tattoo it like this, he can't do anything if he wants to move, and he does his best to obey the destiny of heaven. ”
It seems that Li Yang is really planning to attack Liu Yan's younger brother.
But what puzzles me the most is Wang Xue's attitude from beginning to end.
Vice President Li handled things properly, and those who shouldn't know the Tao would never ask nonsense. Qin Dan came with us, and he naturally didn't ask the reason for it. Kevin and Lao Cao are not concerned about themselves, they can do whatever they want, and they don't want to ask if they are superfluous. The most abnormal thing is Wang Xue, she is not curious when she sees us acting like this, she always looks thoughtful, does she know something?
Get a night's rest and get moving. Our first stop was Liu Yan's house. Teacher Yin Weiguo still wants to accompany us, let us persuade him. What needs to be done below will not see the light of day, and the people in the village must not be mixed too much.
Vice President Li and the driver Lao Cao didn't go, they didn't want Wang Xue to go, but this girl had to follow.
When we came to Liu Yan's house, Liu Yan was very happy to see us, and asked us to pour water into the house. Li Yang cleared his throat: "Yanzi, don't be busy." We are here today for a big event, have you seen this sister? He pointed at Qin Dan with his hand: "This sister is a doctor from a big city, she is very powerful, let her treat your brother today." ”
Liu Yan went over and grabbed Qin Dan's hand and looked at her with wide eyes: "Sister, can you cure my brother's illness?" ”
Qin Dan glanced at Li Yang and blamed him for talking nonsense. She stubbornly said, "Sister, let's see." ”
Liu Yan took the baby in her arms for a while, and then reluctantly handed it to Qin Dan. Qin Dan picked up the child and asked, "Is there a quieter place at home?" ”
Liu Yan led us to the broken firewood room at the back, and Li Yang said to her: "Yanzi, wait here, my sister will treat your brother." ”
He whispered to Wang Xue: "Xiao Wang, you are watching her here, don't let her make trouble." ”
Wang Xue was very reluctant, but still nodded.
Liu Yan was quite nervous when she saw us holding the child into the firewood room, and her little eyes blinked: "Sister, my brother will be fine." ”
Wang Xue hugged her and kept comforting her softly. Liu Yan's mood quickly calmed down.
The firewood room was dirty and small, full of broken wood and stones. It's very dark, there is no light at all, it's overcast and cold. Kevin asked Qin Dan and Li Yang to shine a flashlight, and he chewed gum and unwrapped the swaddling clothes. Li Yang asked softly: "Do you know what the pattern is and where it is?" “
Kevin nodded, touched the child's arm and said, "Butterfly tattoo, left arm." ”
The baby fiddled like this, but there was no crying reaction, and the dark eyes looked at us.
At this moment, Liu Yan's cry suddenly came from outside the door, and Li Yang whispered to me: "You go out to see, let's come here." ”
When I got out of the firewood room, I saw Liu Yan struggling desperately in Wang Xue's arms, her little face was red from crying, and her big eyes showed a look of extreme horror. I walked over and asked what was wrong.
Wang Xue looked helpless, and said that this girl didn't know what's wrong, and she suddenly looked at me like a ghost.
I hugged Liu Yan and asked, "Child, what's wrong with you?" ”
Liu Yan hugged me tightly, pointed at Wang Xue and said, "This sister is not a good person. ”
Wang Xue's expression changed at that moment, her eyes were cold, and her whole person seemed to be wearing a mask. This expression was fleeting, she frowned, and asked angrily, "Why am I not a good person anymore?" ”
Liu Yan cried "woo": "I, I saw you in my dreams." You are so fierce, beat me and scolded me, and scalded me with red iron, and hung me on the beam of the house and beat me, woo. ”
I said, "How gentle my sister is, how can she be such a person?" Dreams are all fake, swallow don't cry. ”
Wang Xue's originally angry expression suddenly became sunny, and she said to Liu Yan with a grin: "Yanzi, my sister likes to play with you the most." ”
At this time, suddenly there was a scream from the firewood room. The voice was very sharp, it sounded like Qin Dan's, and my scalp exploded.
Liu Yan's eyes widened and struggled in my arms: "Brother, brother, brother......"
I was anxious, so I stuffed Liu Yan into Wang Xue's arms, turned around and entered the firewood room.
In the black firewood room, Qin Dan's flashlight was lit, and the black shadows in the room were shaking, which was extremely gloomy. Kevin was holding a tattoo gun and sat on the ground with a horrified expression on his face. Li Yang held the child and squatted on the ground with his back. Qin Dan stood beside him, holding a flashlight and shining it down. Judging from the backs of the two people, they were all trembling there. Li Yang "poofed", his legs were weak, and he actually knelt on the ground.
The atmosphere in the room is extremely solemn and mysterious, what is wrong?
I walked over step by step, came behind Li Yang, and looked down. This look scared me all over my body.
The baby changed.
He was originally white and chubby, and although his eyes were glazed, he still looked quite cute. And now this baby has turned into an old man in the shape of a withered artemisia. The flashlight was falling on his face, and he saw overlapping wrinkles, and the whole face was shaped like a walnut, completely wrinkled. In particular, those eyes, cloudy and sticky, completely devoid of brilliance, looked like they were fake. The most terrifying thing is that his eyes are completely like an old man, although his eyeballs are gray and distracted, they are full of vicissitudes.
The tattoo on the arm has just been tattooed, and I can't tell what it is. The tattooed area is red and swollen, which is very conspicuous on the baby's snow-white skin.
Kevin scrambled to stuff the tattoo tools into his toolbox and stumbled, "I'll go back first." ”
Qin Dan sighed lightly: "I've never seen this kind of situation. When I started getting tattoos just now, the child suddenly grew old, and I saw that he suddenly changed from a baby to a drooping old man. ”
I patted Li Yang: "Things are in trouble, think about how to deal with the aftermath." ”
Li Yang didn't move for a long time, looking straight at the baby in his hand. After a long time, he raised his head, and his eyes were full of tears.
"What's wrong with you?" I was taken aback: "Don't worry, this matter will be handled by Vice President Li, and she can handle it." ”
Li Yang shook his head, looked at the baby and said, "You don't understand. He, he's my grandmother. ”
Damn, he really doesn't talk to death.
I looked at the baby and was a little creepy: "This is grandma, Qi Yan?" ”
Li Yang stood up with the baby in his arms and said to me: "Grandma raised me since I was a child, and we have a special relationship. As soon as I saw his old state just now, I knew that this is grandma, I recognize that look! ”
I swallowed: "You mean, grandma was reincarnated as this baby?" ”
Li Yang nodded.
It dawned on me that if that was the case, something could be explained. Why did this baby suddenly become stupid, it was not encephalitis, but that night, our corpse invited the soul and took the soul of my grandmother out of the reincarnated baby.
