Even I can think of things how grandpa can't think of it, just because too many people are present he can't say it clearly, and he doesn't want to blame grandpa too much, so he beckoned the villagers to take down the coffin, the villagers just took a step forward, grandpa picked up the pole that carried the coffin next to him, and held it in his hand like a dog about to bite people, and said viciously, "Which dog dares to touch the coffin, Lao Tzu knocks him to death with a stick!" ”

Grandpa has been stubborn for so many years, and everyone in the village understands his temperament, and no one can stop him from doing what he wants to do. In the eyes of the people in the village, grandpa is a complete Diao people, people are afraid of the wicked, don't look at them scolding the sky and thunder all day long, but in the bottom of their hearts they are still afraid of grandpa, grandpa really dares to hit them with a stick, they are not willing to get involved in Chen Yingying's affairs, and they are not willing to go against my grandfather, Diao Min, grandpa such a threat just gave them the stairs, and immediately said to grandpa, "Have you seen it, it's not that we don't want to take care of it, but we can't manage it at all, this is your brother himself wants to create evil, I advise you to leave it alone, lest it affect yourself when you get it. ”

The villagers left the tomb by the way, and when they were all gone, the grandfather asked the grandfather, "Do you have any trouble?" If you have one, just tell me, and I'll help you figure it out. ”

Grandpa threw away the pole in his hand and sat on the ground, then took out his cigarette gun and smoked it, glanced at me intentionally or unintentionally, and then said to grandpa, "It's going to rain and my mother is going to get married, and it's useless to tell you." ”

Grandpa really wanted to help, but grandpa's indifferent attitude instantly angered him, and he shook his head and left.

After the eldest grandfather left, the grandfather asked the women who helped him carry the coffin to take a basket of paper money out, and asked me to help burn it for Chen Yingying, and by the way, burn some for the other dead people in the tomb, so that they could take care of Chen Yingying, a newcomer.

Grandpa stayed up for two nights in a row, and was too tired to open his eyes, so he handed me the paper money and went home, and I and the orphan women then burned the paper money to every mound in the grave field, and I did not return home until it was almost noon.

I wanted to tell my grandfather about the dead man going up the tree, but when I got home, my grandfather was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, so I didn't disturb him. And because I had stayed up all night, the child was already drowsy, so I ran to my house and climbed into bed and fell asleep.

During the confusion, I heard the sound of Suo Suo in the house, thinking that my grandfather woke up and didn't care, so I turned over and continued to sleep, and when I woke up, I opened my eyes and glanced out the window, only to realize that it was already dark.

At that time, the family used an old-fashioned light bulb, the switch of the bulb was tied to the head of the bed by a hemp rope, and if the light was turned on, just pull the hemp rope at the head of the bed.

At first, I thought that my grandfather was lying next to me, so I followed this hand and touched the face of the person lying next to me, and only touched it twice, so frightened that my heart was cold, and I shouted, "Grandpa, there are ghosts!" ”

Not long after, my grandfather came into my room with a flashlight, and shone the light of the flashlight on the bed, and after seeing the person lying on the bed, he immediately shot the light of the flashlight directly into my eyes, and I didn't even see who was lying next to me under the strong light.

Grandpa then walked over and pulled me up behind me, and when I looked at the bed again, I was so frightened that I immediately lost my voice.

It was no one else lying on the bed, it was the dead Chen Yingying, a person who was already lying in the coffin was lying next to me at this time, thinking of the sound of Xi Xisuo in a daze, she was afraid that she was the one who climbed into my bed at that time, and she didn't know how long she had been lying with me.

"Don't be afraid." Grandpa comforted me first, and then said to Chen Yingying on the bed, "Chen family girl, Sun Qing is not to blame for your death, whether he should say that sentence or not, it is your life, for the sake of me taking care of you for so many years, don't come to toss Sun Qing." ”

After Grandpa said this, Chen Yingying's body suddenly twisted, sat up stiffly, and then got out of bed and walked towards the door.

I watched with trepidation, Chen Yingying walked out stiffly in a black shroud, and my grandfather took me all the way to follow until Chen Yingying disappeared into the night, and then my grandfather hurriedly took me back to the house, closing the doors and windows.

Before I could get out of my fear, my grandfather poured me a bowl of wine, stripped me clean, and wiped my whole body with the wine, and then I gradually eased up, and watched my grandfather sob.

Grandpa said, "Next time you doze off, close the door and she won't be able to get in." ”

When I was a child, I was simple-minded, thinking that only husband and wife can lie together between men and women, and Chen Yingying and I are lying together, then we are husband and wife.

I told my grandfather about Chen Yingying's pants chasing me at night, and the things that the man said about the dead going up the tree, the living marrying the corpse, and the old dog asking for directions.

After hearing this, my grandfather didn't say a word, sat on the chair, filled a bag of cigarettes, lit it and smoked it, and after smoking for a long time, my grandfather turned his head and asked me, "Do you know what is the solitary yin and the solitary yang is not long?" ”

I shook my head, "I don't know. ”

Grandpa sighed, didn't continue, and was silent for a while, and then Grandpa asked again, "Then do you like that girl from the Chen family?" ”

I was still young, and I didn't know what to like or dislike. But among those orphan widows, I like to stay with Chen Yingying the most, because she is very gentle, always soft-spoken, and cares about me and my grandfather, no matter who is sick or me, she will come to see us as soon as possible, and from time to time she will bring me and my grandfather newly knitted clothes or shoes.

Grandpa also joked in front of Chen Yingying and me that if I could have married Chen Yingying a few years earlier, of course I would have said yes at that time, but Chen Yingying was so ashamed that her face was flushed.

I thought about my grandfather's question for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Yes." "When I say liking, I only like to get along with her as a person.

Grandpa fell silent again with a cigarette in his mouth, and this time he sat for nearly half an hour before he put the flashlight next to me and said, "You go to your grandfather's house to help me borrow something, you will stay at your grandfather's house tonight, and when dawn you let your grandfather bring that thing to me." ”

When my grandfather told me about this, I wondered that the most important thing in the countryside is wood, and there is still a lot of firewood in front of my house, so I don't understand what it means for grandpa to borrow wood.

But I didn't ask much, except for what he wanted to tell me, he wouldn't tell me what he didn't want to say, even if he was worn out.

At that time, I estimated that maybe my grandfather was worried that Chen Yingying would come to me, so he asked me to go to my grandfather's house to avoid it, and I just didn't dare to stay in the house, so I ran to my grandfather's house with a flashlight.

When I went, my grandfather was already asleep, and when I knocked on the door, he asked me what I was doing so late, and I said, "Grandpa asked me to come to you to borrow your 'wood', saying that I borrowed it for you to give it to him at dawn." ”

Grandpa's face changed when he heard the word wood, but he still nodded and said yes, let me into the house. That night I slept next to my grandfather, and I choked on the smell of smoke on his body all night.

Tianliang was still woken up by the sound of the grandfather's house, and when he went out to look, he saw that the grandfather was beckoning a few villagers to carry his unpainted coffin and go out.

After the elderly in rural areas reach the age of 60, they must prepare coffins in advance, so as not to die suddenly and have no coffins available. Other old people in the village have prepared coffins, but my grandfather has not prepared, and some people have persuaded my grandfather, who always said that he should not care about the affairs of the Ming Dynasty today, and the coffin will be prepared when he dies.

The coffin symbolizes death, and I have an inexplicable fear of the coffin, so I looked at it from a distance and asked my grandfather, "Grandpa, what are you carrying the coffin for?" ”

The eldest grandfather said with a heavy face, "The wood that your grandfather wants to borrow is the coffin, I'm afraid that your grandfather has already lost his breath at this time, and he doesn't want you to watch him lose his breath, so he will break you apart, and he will be by your side, you have to go and collect his body." ”
