Chapter 14: A Pale Face
Grandpa was reprimanded by grandma, so he naturally didn't dare to say anything, and then, I saw grandma's shadow gradually approaching the window, and she stuck to the window, probably wanting to hear what I had to talk about with Xiaowei.
Whatever we can talk about, we are still children.
"Xiaowei, let's eat, I've been hungry all night!" I say.
Xiaowei nodded slowly.
When I was about to open the door and go out, Xiaowei suddenly jumped out of bed and walked to my side, she grabbed me and whispered: "Brother Fan, Xiaowei doesn't want to go out, there is sun outside, and it hurts to get sunburned." ”
Xiaowei grabbed my hand, I was stunned for a moment at that moment, her little hands were cold, not the normal cold, I could clearly feel the cold air emanating from her hands.
Originally, I thought that it was not Xiaowei at all last night, but now it seems that it should be Xiaowei.
Although she flatly denied it, her every move and the temperature on her hands said it all.
The feeling of her holding my wrist, which I was all too familiar with, the cold touch, how could this be the temperature that a living person should have. I don't know what happened to Xiaowei's body, but it must have something to do with what grandpa said about within the nine zhangs, I must find a chance to ask grandpa to see what will happen when I enter the nine zhangs.
Xiaowei didn't dare to go out, she didn't dare to see the sun, I couldn't force her. It was terrifying, but I knew she wouldn't hurt me, or she wouldn't have had to save me last night.
I helped her bring breakfast to the back room to eat, and when my grandmother asked, I said that Xiaowei didn't want to come out, probably because of Uncle Godan's death, and she still couldn't recover.
Grandma didn't ask much, I went into the house to eat with Xiaowei, she ate very little.
What happened to Xiaowei?
After breakfast, I found an opportunity, and while my grandfather was in the bathroom, I followed him. I asked my grandfather in a low voice: "Grandpa, on the day you cut down the tree, you said that something would happen within nine zhang, so what would happen if you entered within nine zhang?" ”
Grandpa probably didn't expect me to ask this question suddenly, he paused, and then said: "When you enter within nine zhang, you will be smelled by the immortal family on the old locust tree. Therefore, as long as it is within nine zhang, it will be held against the immortal family on the old locust tree, and it will be considered that the person who cut down the tree and injured the immortal family, and the immortal family on the old locust tree will retaliate at that time. ”
"That's the case, grandpa, then why didn't you let me stop Xiaowei at that time?" I was a little excited, if it wasn't for my grandfather stopping me at that time, I pulled Xiaowei early, she might not have become what she is now.
"Fan Wazi, things are not as simple as you think, do you know why grandpa goes out to run errands and takes you with him every time, the purpose is to let you have a long experience, and when grandpa is gone in the future, you can be on your own! At that time, even if you went up to stop it, you would definitely not be able to stop Xiaowei. Some things are like this on the surface, but in fact, the dark tide is surging under the surface, Fanwazi, do you know what grandpa means? Grandpa said, looking at me and touching my head.
Grandpa always spoke with his trademark kind smile on his face.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with that Xiaowei now, she doesn't dare to come out, is she ......" I don't know how to say it, and I didn't hide it from grandpa, because I know that I can't hide anything from grandpa's wise eyes.
Grandpa thought for a while, and he said, "Fanwazi, grandpa is not a fairy, and he doesn't know everything. Actually, grandpa has never seen this kind of situation, and it stands to reason that the revenge of the immortal family on the locust tree must be directly absorbing the essence qi, and this will not be the case. Fanwazi, don't think about it too much, Xiaowei doesn't dare to go out, maybe it's not what you think. ”
I could only nod slightly, thinking about Xiaowei, the more I thought about it, the more worried I became.
Perhaps to comfort me, my grandfather said: "Fanwazi, don't worry, because your grandmother likes Xiaowei so much, grandpa will never ignore her, not to mention, she is the only entrustment of your Uncle Dog before he goes." ”
Grandpa's words, whether it was comfort or something, always made my heart less worried, at least I found a little support, grandpa will at least help Xiaowei.
When Grandpa was about to leave, something he was carrying with him fell to the ground.
It's just that grandpa didn't hear it, and I was about to call him that his things had dropped, but as soon as I saw the things on the ground, I immediately shut up.
The thing on the ground was a small porcelain vase, and the rural courtyard was full of land, and there was no sound when things fell on the ground, and grandpa didn't notice it at all.
This should be the little porcelain vase that was secretly put into the cuff by Grandpa, at least it looks exactly the same.
After my grandfather left, I quietly walked over, looked around, picked up the porcelain vase, and put it in my pocket. When I got the porcelain vase, I was excited in my heart, but I also had an inexplicable fear in my heart.
What's in a porcelain vase?
If, after peeking into the truth, I find that my grandfather is no longer the amiable and kind grandfather I am familiar with, then how should I accept it?
The porcelain vase seeped cold, and the cold air crawled down the porcelain vase to my hands and arms, which made me shiver.
I was even a little scared to open this porcelain vase, it was the kind of fear that came from the heart.
Putting the porcelain vase in my pocket, I hurried out of the toilet, carrying the porcelain vase in my arms, as if carrying a time bomb, and I felt that everyone in the whole family looked at me differently, especially my grandfather.
But my grandfather didn't ask me about it, and maybe he hadn't noticed that the porcelain vase was missing.
I barely slept last night, I was so sleepy during the day, I went to the toilet and went back to the house to sleep, the whole courtyard was very quiet, so quiet in the daytime, it felt weird.
Lying in bed, I felt dizzy and sleepy, and after a while I fell asleep.
I had a strange dream.
I dreamed of a man kneeling beside my bed, covered in white clothes and with his hair disheveled, his head bowed, and I couldn't see the face clearly.
I was startled at first, and I wanted to ask the man, but I couldn't make a sound, and I couldn't move if I wanted to.
That feeling of being out of control is indeed terrifying, plus there is a strange person kneeling next to the bed, who is he? The more I thought about it, the more scared I felt, and I felt goosebumps on my back.
And just then, there was a creaking sound on the man's neck, and he slowly looked up, and I saw a miserable white face.
That's Zhu Heiwa's face, I saw it last night when I summoned the spirit, it's definitely him!
Didn't Grandpa help him return his soul, why did he come here for what?
I saw a strange smile on his pale face, and his mouth was furrowing, as if he was saying something, but I couldn't hear it at all.
It was getting closer and closer to me, closer and closer, and that miserable white face was almost pressed against me, and he kept repeating the same lip sync.
Doodoo ......
A foreign voice finally broke the atmosphere of fear, and I felt that everything became chaotic in front of me, and when it was clear again, there was nothing around me, and the miserable white face just now was gone.
I breathed a long sigh of relief, and then I realized that I was able to move, and I sat up from the bed, and moved the pillow, and I saw the porcelain vase that was placed next to the pillow.
It feels weird in my heart.
While I was thinking about it, there was another beeping sound from the window, and I looked over there and saw a figure outside the window.
When I saw that shadow in broad daylight, I was stunned and broke out in a cold sweat, and I immediately asked, "Who, who's on the other side of the window?" ”
The man knocked on the window again, but did not answer.
I stared at the shadow carefully, and immediately thought of someone, someone I knew well.
After clearing up the tension I had just made, I jumped out of bed and went to open the door. Standing outside the door was my mother, who looked at me and asked me in sign language, "Can you come into my house?"
I nodded, and my mom followed me into the house.
I haven't mentioned it before, my mother is very beautiful, the kind that most rural women don't have, and she is extraordinarily beautiful in her beauty, much like the kind of ladies in ancient times. It's a pity that she's mute and can't speak, and I used to fantasize that my mother might be able to talk.
My family is poor, especially when my father was young, he had no money to marry a daughter-in-law, and my grandmother was in a hurry, so my grandfather gave my father a word: Even if he is blind and lame and dumb, he must bring one back, and the Yang family must not be broken.
Unexpectedly, my dad went out for half a month and really brought back my mother.
When they first returned to the village, everyone thought it was strange, saying that the Yang family was poor, how could they marry such a beautiful girl, more handsome than the girls in the city. Later, when everyone knew that my mother was mute, everyone understood.
Usually my mother is in the house and usually doesn't go out, but today she took the initiative to come to my house, which made me a little surprised.
"Mom, what's the matter?" I asked, she was different from the average mute, who couldn't hear a lot of things, but my mom could hear it.
My mom had a smile on her face, she touched my face, then gestured with her hand and asked me for a pen. At that time, the illiteracy rate of women in our village was more than 90 percent, and my mother was one of the few women in our village who could write.
I knew my mom was going to tell me something, so I immediately found a pen and paper.
She wrote on the paper: I heard movement in your house just now, so come and see, Mom is worried about you, there have been accidents in the village recently, you should be careful!
The first time I saw my mother write such words to me, a very ordinary sentence, I saw a sour nose.
I immediately nodded and said, "Mom, don't worry, I'll take care of myself, Mom, you have to take care of yourself too!" "Sometimes, it's not that parents don't have feelings, it's just that they're not good at expressing themselves.
Mom wrote on the paper again: Mom is in the house every day, what can happen, don't worry.
I nodded, and she glanced at my right, wondering if she had the ceramic vial, which I tucked under my pillow.
My mom walked over to my bedside.
She reached under my pillow, and I tried to stop it but didn't have a chance. But the strange thing was that she didn't take out the porcelain vase, her hand was empty.
I was very nervous, afraid that she would tell my grandfather about the porcelain vase, but my mother showed a very beautiful smile at me, her smile was the most beautiful, and my grandmother said that when I was a child, I didn't cry when I saw my mother laughing.
My mother wrote in the notebook again: Xiaowei is a hard-working child, take care of her!
After that, my mother left, I looked at the time, it was only ten o'clock in the morning, and I was still very sleepy, so I continued to sleep.
This time it's strange, since my mother came, I have slept very soundly, and I didn't see the pale Zhu Heiwa kneeling beside my bed again.
When I woke up, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was still quiet outside, and I wanted to take out the porcelain vase to see, but strangely, I touched something other than the porcelain vase.
