At that moment, I saw Daddy's movements freeze there, and then his face changed.

I glanced over to my father, and I realized that it was my grandfather who reached out and stumbled over my father. Dad looked at my grandfather, his face turned pale, and he asked tentatively, "Dad, is that you?" ”

But where there was a response, I looked around, and there was nothing unusual in the entire mourning hall except for the swaying lantern and my grandfather's outstretched hand.

At this time, my father slowly bypassed my grandfather's outstretched hand and slowly walked towards the ever-bright lantern. But after only a few steps out, I saw my grandfather sit up suddenly.

I was completely shocked at this moment, and the sleepiness just now disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Dad, grandpa, he ......" I didn't dare to continue.

Daddy motioned for me not to move, and then he continued to prepare to protect the lantern. There is a saying in our world that during the wake of the deceased, an everlasting lamp is lit on the offering table above the head of the deceased's body. The everlasting light is to keep on, and if it goes out, it means that something is going to happen, so Dad is so desperate to protect it.

Daddy walked over and opened his palms to cover the flames of the lantern.

The flickering flames gradually stabilized, and the body that Grandpa had folded just now actually lay down with a thud.

Seeing this, my father slowly released the lantern, and the flame stabilized.

What happened just now made a layer of cold sweat on my back, what is the situation with grandpa, is it to cheat the corpse? There are many such sayings in rural areas, if the time of death is not right, it may be a fraudulent corpse, if the person who dies is more unjust, it is most likely to cheat the corpse, because of the heavy grievance, and there is another kind of unfulfilled wishes, there will also be this situation.

At Grandpa's age, he was already dying, and he also explained in his dream three days ago that everything was a number of days. Grandpa definitely won't have any resentment, could it be that he has something unfulfilled?

At this moment, there seemed to be movement outside the gate, and my father and I looked at each other, indicating that he also heard the voice, which seemed to be someone's footsteps. At night in the countryside, it was very quiet, and my father and I really heard this kind of movement.

Daddy made a silent gesture at me, and he whispered, "Fanwa, you're watching your grandfather here, I'll go out and have a look!" ”

I nodded, and Daddy tiptoed outside.

The door of my house is open, this is the rule in the countryside, the vigil is three days, and the door must not be closed at night.

Daddy walked to the gate, looked outside for a while, and came back as if he hadn't noticed anything.

After that, my grandfather didn't move, and my father and I didn't feel sleepy, and we stayed up until dawn.

It was the first night, and by the next night, almost at that time, Grandpa sat up again. And this time, he rolled the whites of his eyes, and his throat gurgled and sounded creepy.

Again, as last night, the lights were swaying and the flames were almost extinguished.

Yesterday, Dad rushed over to protect the Everlasting Lamp, and Grandpa didn't move, but tonight when Dad went to protect the Everlasting Lantern again, the flame on the wick shrank instantly, and it was almost extinguished directly.

If the lantern is extinguished, grandpa may really cheat the corpse, which he told me when grandpa was alive before. I listened to the story at the time, but I didn't expect this to happen when my grandfather died.

"Dad, don't try to touch that lantern!" I tried to say, I don't know if it works.

Daddy hesitated for a moment, let go of his hands, the flame on the wick had indeed grown, but it was still staggering, and it might be extinguished at any moment.

It's not a way to keep going on like this, and my dad doesn't know much about this, so he was a little helpless for a while.

Grandpa was still sitting there, with that creaking figure in his throat all the time, and the wind was constantly winding around, if it weren't for the terrible things that my father and I had experienced ten years ago, I guess we would have been scared away.

At this moment, Grandpa suddenly raised his right hand, he stretched out an index finger, and the sound in his throat became louder and more urgent.

To be honest, even though this is my grandfather, I was still so scared that I couldn't move my legs. My father's face was not good-looking, he said: "Fanwa, you and your grandfather, can you see what this one means?" ”

What do you mean, I don't think I've ever seen my grandfather do this, so I just shook my head.

In the past, in our village, my grandfather could play the role of an old Chinese medicine doctor, a half-immortal god or something, but now that he is gone, he has an accident, and I really can't find a person who understands this kind of thing.

Dad pulled me to kneel down directly, kowtowed, and said, "Dad, what do you mean by this?" ”

But where can grandpa speak, he has been making that gesture all the time, and that gurgling sound is still coming out of his throat.

It's not a way to go on like this, my father said to me: "Fanwa, there is no other way now, call that Wu Jiuye!" ”

"What, call him over?" I didn't expect Daddy to say this.

"That's right, since he and your grandfather are old friends, he also said that he will look at the cemetery, and he should know some yin and yang things, go and call him to see if he has a way!" Daddy said that he was still guarding the lantern, but my grandfather still kept his gesture stiff and still made that sound in his throat.

However, this Wu Jiuye's identity is unknown, and I am indeed a little worried about calling him, but I really can't think of any other way.

I nodded and ran in the direction of the threshing field.

Before I got to the threshing floor, I saw a figure in front of me, he had an electric light in his hand, and he walked slowly and hurriedly, walking towards me, and I shouted, "Who?" ”

He was stunned for a moment and responded: "It's me, you're Xiaofan, right?" ”

As soon as I heard that voice, I recognized it, it was Wu Jiuye, he trotted over and said, "Are you coming to me?" ”

"How do you know?" I was very surprised, in the night, I felt that this Wu Jiuye's face was a little terrible, I don't know if it was a psychological effect.

"During the day, I heard from the people in the village, saying that your grandfather got up last night, that's it, I'm not at ease, I'm about to go over and take a look!" Wu Jiuye explained.

I think it's a little strange, my father and I have never told anyone about this, how could this Wu Jiuye know from the mouths of the villagers that my grandfather had a corpse?

I remembered that after my grandfather's body was raised last night, we heard the footsteps outside the door, and I almost knew, could it be that someone was hiding outside at that time, so when I saw my grandfather's body, the news spread?

However, I didn't see anyone talking about it during the day today!

"Xiaofan, I see that you are in such a hurry, is your grandfather ...... again" He didn't continue.

As if all this was expected by Wu Jiuye, I nodded, and then said, "Ninth Grandpa, you are right, I came here to find you to have a look!" ”

Wu Jiuye showed a surprised expression on his face, and he asked, "Doesn't your father know this?" ”

I shook my head, and I didn't explain too much, grandpa still stretched out a "one" waiting there, and my dad was carrying it there alone, and the time was very short!

Wu Jiuye followed me all the way to my house.

You can see in the courtyard that my grandfather is still in that state, and as soon as he entered the door, Wu Jiuye said to my father: "Mingyi, you don't have to protect the ever-bright lamp, the lamp won't go out!" ”

Dad hesitated, as if he wanted to ask but didn't speak, he let go of the lantern.

The lantern is still crooked, but it is indeed not extinguished, and each time the flame of the lantern is on the verge of being extinguished, and then the flame becomes larger and brighter again.

Wu Jiuye took a small paper bag from his pocket, pinched some beige powder, and threw it in the oil of the ever-bright lamp, and soon, the ever-bright lamp stabilized.

This Wu Jiuye does have some means.

He walked around my grandfather's spiritual bed, and then, thinking carefully, my father asked, "Ninth Master, will my father have any unfulfilled wishes?" ”

Wu Jiuye sighed and said: "This is absolutely impossible, my brother's soul has long been gone, this is the body, there is no soul, if he has any last wishes, he will give you a dream, it will not be like this." My brother's body is showing signs of this, maybe something is rushing to the air......"

His voice stopped abruptly when he said this, and he seemed to suddenly think of something, staring at my grandfather's finger, and then looking up, he suddenly said, "There's something on the beam!" ”
