Chapter 8 Steelmaking

Before I could figure out what was going on, I saw Li Yang take a few steps backwards and sit on the ground, the lotus lantern also overturned, and the flame was suddenly extinguished. I went over and pulled him up, Li Yang's face turned pale, and he stumbled and said, "Cabinet ...... There are people in the cabinet. ”

When he said this, I was also a little scared, and carefully held the lamp to shine, and there was indeed a person in the dark cabinet. I didn't dare to look closely, so I shook it, and the person was supposed to be a woman, sitting cross-legged in the cupboard, wearing a dark red and a little blackened cardigan. This dress really looks like a shroud, such a gloomy environment, and suddenly there is such a person, everyone has to be furious.

Why do you say that the person inside should be a woman, and when she looked at it, she had long black and dense hair, like a black waterfall. Scattered down, the facial features are invisible, and the whole face is covered by thick black hair.

I shuddered and closed the cabinet door and motioned for Li Yang to go out together.

Li Yang picked up the lotus lantern, pulled the wick with his hand, and used the flame of the lantern to catch fire and let it rekindle. I was a little impatient: "What are you doing with it, let's get out of the house and have a lamp that is enough." ”

"You know what?" He crooked his eyes at me: "Stand by me!" I'd like to see who's in the closet. ”

Holy shit, this pervert is here again. Li Yang loves to take chestnuts from the fire, the more dangerous and weird it is, the more interested he is in exploring. I pulled him: "Li Yang, Brother Li, let's go quickly, the hospital is in a hurry." ”

Li Yang said: "Just take a look." We can only come to this place once, and we will never have a chance again. I don't want to have any regrets. Do you know what I think of it? ”

"For what?"

Li Yang said: "I suddenly had a very familiar feeling, the people in this cabinet seem to have seen it before. ”

"You can pull it down." I said, "Where have you seen it?" She's your mother-in-law, huh? ”

"Lao Liu, let's laugh and laugh, but others are attacking."

"Okay, okay, hurry up and see." I'm impatient.

Li Yang was mentally prepared this time, carefully opened the cabinet door, and held the lamp to shine inside. I stood next to the cabinet and couldn't see the situation inside, but I saw that Li Yang's expression was very mysterious and obscene, and I couldn't describe it, I was both scared and excited, as if I had discovered something. He slowly approached the cabinet and actually put his hand inside, not knowing what he was doing.

I couldn't hold back my curiosity and went around to see. This look is really stupid, Li Yang actually used his hand to ruffle the hair of the person inside. I secretly gave a thumbs up and obeyed, this is Li Yang, others dare not do it, and others dare not do it.

The clump of hair gradually lifted up, and the people inside revealed the true face of Lushan.

Sure enough, it was a woman, she looked very old, her face was wrinkled, she looked like a walnut, and she looked like she was in her seventies. The old woman's complexion was like gold paper, her eyes were tightly closed, and she was lifeless, without the breath of a living person. At first glance, it is a mummy, and it is definitely not a living person.

"Who is this?" I asked softly.

Li Yang let go of his hand, and his black hair once again covered the woman's face. He took a breath of cold air: "Could it be the female master's mother?" This is where her mother practiced. ”

My throat fluttered: "But her mother has been dead for more than ten years, why is her body not rotten?" And it's still hidden in a cupboard? Holy shit, it's hiding a corpse, it's a felony. ”

Li Yang suddenly turned his head to look at me, his face looked a little terrifying in the faint firelight, and he said, "Old Liu, what do you think I remembered when I saw this corpse?" ”

"What?"

He said, "Do you remember that we saw many corpses in the apse of the Yin and Yang Temple of the building, all of them with the same faces, including the little boy. ”

I nodded, my heart beating wildly: "At that time, Master Xie said that these are people who have failed to cultivate immortals, leaving behind a golden body that has failed to metamorphose. ”

Li Yang gently closed the cabinet door: "Let's go out, the matter here will be investigated slowly in the future, and my grandmother's problem will be solved first." ”

The two of us walked out, and I asked, "Li Yang, does your grandma know any spells?" ”

Li Yang shook his head: "I've never heard of it." My grandmother married late, she was almost thirty years old when she married my grandfather, and she was definitely an older leftover girl at that time. When she was in her twenties, no one knew about it, and she never mentioned it. Maybe my grandfather knows what he said, but we juniors don't know very well. ”

I said, "You really keep the golden rice bowl and ask for food everywhere, the story of grandma is enough for you to write, and you still say that you have no material all day long." ”

"My grandmother is a very strong person, and she has a lot of ideas. If she wasn't going to say it, she wouldn't be able to pry her mouth open. All the major decisions made by their family over the years have been made by grandma, and grandpa is a puppet. ”

As we spoke, we saw the light in the doorway and finally came out of the house. The sun outside was so bright that I couldn't open my eyes, I looked at the blue sky and white clouds, and looked back at the dark room, it was really like a world away.

Yang Shanshan said happily: "Brother Liu, Brother Li, you have come out." Did you get everything? ”

We both nodded.

The female master asked, "You two didn't touch anything else, did you?" ”

Li Yang smiled: "I didn't touch it, I was scared to death, who would dare to touch it." He quickly diverted the conversation: "Auntie, my grandmother is lying in the hospital now, why don't you go back with us to have a look?" ”

The female master shook her head: "I won't go, my duty is to save things for the old man, and now I take the things back and the task is completed." Birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature, don't be too sad. ”

We didn't dare to ask about the vision in the house, so we said goodbye to her and hurried back in the car.

In the car, Yang Shanshan asked us what we all saw in the house. I was just about to say that Li Yang grabbed the conversation and reprimanded her, saying that there are some things that children should not inquire about. Yang Shanshan was so angry that she was about to cry, she was scolded for no reason, ignored us, and lay down behind her to sleep angrily.

Li Yang whispered: "This girl is the same as her mother, she is a loudspeaker, and she doesn't have a door on her mouth." I always felt that there was a lot of weirdness in that temple, and it was better not to talk about it before we figured it out. ”

When I arrived at the hospital, it was already afternoon. We hurried into the ward, it was lively, the seven aunts and eight aunts of Li Yang's grandmother's family were almost gathered, only a few representatives were left in the ward, and the others were almost full in the corridor.

The old lady had woken up, the bed was shaken, she was half-lying and half-sitting, drinking canned peaches, and she looked good. Last night, the eldest sister of the nurse had already rested, and she was replaced by a male nurse, in his forties, wearing glasses, looking very kind, and was busy with everything.

When I saw the old lady like this, I knew that the road was not good, and it was probably a return to the light.

We went into the ward, and Li Yang showed the old lady what he had taken. The old lady put down the bowl and said tremblingly, "Boss, help me put my shoes on." ”

A balding middle-aged man replied angrily: "Okay." ”

It seems that he is Li Yang's uncle.

The uncle took the red embroidered shoes and put one on one of the old lady's feet, not to mention that they fit quite well. After putting it on, the people in the ward looked at each other one by one, and no one spoke. The scene is really infiltrating, an old lady who is about to die, wearing bright red embroidered shoes on her feet, how uncomfortable it is.

The old lady said, "Little, you put the talisman on the lintel." ”

The brother-in-law took the talisman, walked to the door of the ward, and stubbornly pasted the talisman on the lintel. He walked back and asked, "Okay, Mom?" ”

The old lady struggled to lift up, and the eldest brother of the nurse hurriedly supported her. The old lady shook her face and saw me.

My heart sinks, is there anything else about me here? The old lady said weakly, "Xiaoxiao, you pick up my pillow." ”

My brother-in-law patted me on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead." ”

I walked over and picked up the pillow, and the old lady said, "You walk in the house with the pillow, shoot as you go, and I'll teach you a few more words: don't go into the soul, go back to the city in black and white." ”

I'm really tired of it. But the whole ward looked at me, and Li Yang said, "Lao Liu, let's fix it, my family can't treat you badly." ”

I took a pillow and patted as I walked around the ward, shouting, "Don't go in, go back to the city in black and white...... The soul is not entered, and the black and white return to the city......"

Someone in the corridor was curious, and when I came in, I was so ashamed that my face was hot.

I finally walked around and stuffed the pillow to the old lady. The old lady said: "These few nights, all the men in the family have to keep vigil for me, and no one is missing!" ”

Li Yang's uncles all smiled bitterly, this old lady thief can toss, when is it a head.

Aunt Li Yang was straightforward, opened her mouth and said, "Mom, what if that monk dies?" ”

The uncle pulled her next to him, frowned, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about." He turned to a low voice: "Mom is leaving, just fulfill her last wish." Don't be so impatient. ”

The old lady smiled: "No, this person can't die." At noon, I dreamed of him, and he said he would come to me. Sixty years ago, the monk said that I was born with a different eye, and that I could see things that others could not see. When your father was gone, I dreamed of him. I went to bed at noon that day, and when I returned to the courtyard of my hometown in my dream, your father stood next to the old well and told me that he was leaving, and that he would have to go for a long time. I asked him when he would be back. He said he was afraid he would never come back this time. I said you old thing, be a hands-off shopkeeper, and just leave. The old and young in the family, how will I live in the future as a woman's family. He said that he couldn't live with me, and he would pay it back in the next life, and said that the most worrying thing was the old girl......"

Speaking of this, the little aunt's eyes were red and she grabbed her mother's hand.

The old lady looked at the ceiling and said to herself: "Your father said that the old girl has the most eyes, and she must live peacefully in the future, otherwise it will be easy to attract right and wrong." I said you old thing, how can you talk like life and death, it's cold outside, let's go. Your father didn't say anything, climbed up to the edge of the well, looked at me at the back, and jumped into the well with a 'poof'. ”

"Ah~~" Although the old man has been dead for so many years, when he heard this, everyone still shouted out in unison.

The old lady sighed: "In the evening, I was about to cook, and the neighbor's second aunt ran over and said, Xiaoyan, let me tell you the news, you must hold on...... Your old man, he had a car accident at noon and left~~~"

This old story makes people's hearts sour, although I am not their family, but I am also infected by emotions, and it is not very comfortable.

The old lady looked at everyone, patted the edge of the bed and said, "What are you crying about, it's normal to be born, old, sick and die." It's a human being who has such a day. I just can't let it go, or I'll die a long time ago. ”

The atmosphere was a little depressing, Li Yang leaned over and said, "Grandma, why are you waiting for that monk, what is he doing?" ”

The old lady said: "Sixty years ago, I was twenty years old, I remember that year, steelmaking, red star, to catch up with the United States." In the commune, blast furnaces were erected, steel was smelted, and all the pots and pots at home were donated. Burning the stove requires fire-resistant large green bricks, which are not easy to deal with. The leaders of our commune said that if the old houses are demolished, they are all green bricks. There is an ancient temple on the mountainside near the commune, and I heard the old man say that the temple was built in the Tang Dynasty or the Song Dynasty, and it has been long enough. As soon as the commune held a meeting, it was done, and the temple was demolished to build a furnace. Then the young men and big girls of our commune went up the mountain to demolish the temple with shovels and shovels. ”
