Chapter 9 Sticking to the Land
Countless people say that grandpa is a wicked person who should be thundered by the sky, but they only see grandpa having an affair with those orphan girls and widows, and they can't see the gratitude of those orphan widows to grandpa.
Because I talked to the land lord with the smell of gunpowder, the grandfather didn't allow me to talk nonsense anymore, and he raised his face to slap me, so I stopped talking.
The land lord looked up at the hollow copper bell hanging on the door again, laughed again, suddenly put away his smile again, and then twisted his brows and stretched out his finger to point at Wang Duangong, and said in a cold and piercing voice, "With your ability, you can't think of this method, people are humane, ghosts have ghosts, get out of this village, I am not to blame for your past mistakes." ”
From the first time I saw him, he always had a soft smile on his face, so I just talked to him, but this time his face changed suddenly, like a vicious wolf locked on its prey, which scared me and my grandfather immediately, this fear is like being put on the neck by a knife, and it will be cut out of the mouth if you move a little.
Although Wang Duangong couldn't see it, he was also so frightened that his face turned pale, and he nodded tremblingly, "Okay, I know, I know." ”
The land lord snorted coldly and turned to leave.
After leaving, several people in the house did not speak, and it was quiet for a long time, and Wang Duangong got up and said that he wanted to leave, because it was dark outside, and the road was slippery, and the grandfather said that he would send Wang Duangong back when it was dawn.
Wang Duangong also relied on the grandfather, stayed up until dawn before packing up and going out, before leaving, the grandfather stuffed a hundred yuan bill to him, at that time 100 yuan was already a huge amount of money, but Wang Duangong refused, said, "Take people's money to eliminate disasters for others, I have meager skills, I didn't eliminate disasters for you, so naturally I can't get money." ”
But the grandfather insisted on giving it to Wang Duangong, saying that it was a fortunate expense, and he came and went back and forth several times to shirk it, and finally reluctantly accepted the 100 yuan.
When he was about to leave, Wang Duangong turned around and stood facing me and said, "You can also see it, if you offend an ordinary ghost, I can still maneuver around, but you offend the land lord, I can't help it." Sun Qing, you have to remember what I told you at night, if you want to survive, you have to have a good relationship with that Liu Cheng, and he is the only one who can save you. ”
I nodded my grace.
After the grandfather sent Wang Duangong back, it took half a day to go back and forth, and I stayed in the house to take care of my grandfather for half a day, paying attention to the copper bell at the door at any time.
What I don't understand is that grandpa breathes smoothly and has blood on his face, no different from a normal person, but why can't he wake up all the time, I originally wanted to go to the tomb to burn some paper for that Liu Cheng, but I was afraid that I would walk on the front foot, and the land lord would come on the back foot, and when no one fed the grandfather, the land lord would be able to take him away without any scruples.
It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, and before the eldest grandfather came back, the voice of the village came from the door, "Sun Qing, you come out and see who is back." ”
I dared to go out when I heard a familiar voice, and when I went to the door, I saw that many people in the village were standing at the door of my house, and the people in the village were surrounded by a pair of middle-aged men and women, who were carrying big bags, and were looking at me with a smile, and after looking at it for a while, the middle-aged man asked me, "Sun Qing, do you recognize me?" ”
I shook my head, I really didn't remember them.
The villagers laughed and said, "They are your parents." ”
There was such a big mess in the family, my father and mother finally came back, but I really didn't have any impression of them, when I was not sensible, they handed me over to my grandfather, and went out to work by myself, and these years because of the saving of travel expenses, rarely came back, occasionally a few fellow villagers came back, they would ask the villagers to bring some money and bring a letter back, they would mention me in the letter, so my memory of them is only on that letter.
But when I learned that they were my father and mother, I squirmed and pinched for a long time before I shouted, "Dad, mother." ”
At that time, the rural people were short-sighted and thought that people who went out to work were capable people, so many people in the village gathered around my house that afternoon and chatted with my father and mother, during which time I told my father and mother all about the recent situation at home.
When my father and mother heard about the situation in my family, they were helpless and angry, they were helpless because my family was infected with such a trouble, and they were angry that my grandfather did not teach me well, so that I could mix with those orphan girls and widows.
But grandpa has become like this, no matter how big they have grievances, they have to hold it in their stomachs, when they go to see grandpa, they see that grandpa doesn't want to live and die like a dead man and his face is full of distress, dad sighed helplessly and said, "Our mother was angry with you back then, you don't know how to converge, and now you have finally suffered retribution, now it's time to rein." ”
Complaining and complaining, Dad immediately asked the village people to help call the barefoot doctor to help Grandpa see a doctor, the villagers said that they had asked Duan Gong to see it, but Dad and Mother had gained knowledge outside, they didn't believe Duan Gong's set, saying that it was pretending to be a ghost.
In the evening, the barefoot doctor was invited, and the grandfather who went to see off Wang Duangong also returned.
My father and my grandfather have a bad relationship, but the relationship with my grandfather is very good, when we meet, I ask how they are doing outside, and they ask how their body is, and during this time, the barefoot doctor also gave my grandfather a doctor, got up and took out a lot of bottles and cans from the medicine box he carried, poured out some of them and handed them to my father, and explained to my father and mother, "These medicines can only refresh the mind, and I can't be sure if I can wake up." I'm afraid it's soul loss, and if it's soul loss, I have to ask Duan Gong to see it. ”
The last thing my father and mother didn't believe was Duan Gong, and respectfully sent the barefoot doctor away, and the grandfather pulled my father and mother aside and said about the copper bell at the door.
Unexpectedly, when my father heard this, he immediately said, "Uncle, you used to teach sages and sages, why do you still believe in these, only those who have ghosts in their hearts will believe in ghosts, this world is full of people, where are there ghosts." ”
Dad said that he was going to take down the copper bell at the door, and the grandfather stopped it one after another, but when grandma was angry with grandpa, dad always had a grudge against grandpa, plus dad had gained knowledge outside, and said that he didn't believe that there were ghosts in this world.
Before my father and mother came back, my grandfather was in charge of this matter, but my father and mother came back, and my grandfather couldn't be the master anymore, and he couldn't stop his grandfather, so he could only shake his head and leave my house.
However, the people in the village stayed at my house until almost midnight before leaving, and after they all left, I sat opposite my father and mother, and I didn't see them for a long time, and I didn't have any special feelings for them, and I didn't know what to say for a while.
My father and mother didn't know what to say to me, but simply asked a few words about what they had done all these years, and after I told him about my grandfather taking me to the orphan widow's house, my father and mother were even more angry, and immediately said that even if my grandfather woke up, I didn't want my grandfather to take me in the future, and if I continued like this, I would be ruined in my grandfather's hands sooner or later.
Before he could complain, the grandfather on the bed suddenly turned his head to look at his father and mother, and said, "You rabbit cub, you finally know that you are back!" ”
Daddy hurriedly got up and went over to look at grandpa, but grandpa only said such a sentence, and closed his eyes again, and let his father and mother shout without responding, as if he was asleep, but grandpa spoke, although there was only one sentence, this is also a good situation, dad did not let go of this opportunity to change my concept, and taught me to say, "See, don't follow the old people in the village to believe those demons and monsters, if you are sick, you still have to see a doctor, will the guild treat the disease?" ”
To this, I replied lightly, "There are really ghosts, I've seen them." ”
My father and mother had no choice but to say that they would slowly educate me and teach me to be positive, and then they took me to the hall and took out a few new clothes from the bag they were carrying, and asked me to try them, which they bought for me before leaving.
There is a shortage of materials in the countryside, a piece of clothing can be worn for as long as possible, it is sewn when it is broken, and it is thrown away when it cannot be worn.
There were three sets in total, and when I tried the second set of clothes, the land lord in the shroud appeared at the door again, first looked up at the door, then looked at us, and said with a smile, "Why is the guy on the door gone?" ”
I was immediately stunned, my father and mother only thought it was a passerby, and when I saw him wearing a shroud, I thought he was a madman, and my father waved his hand, "Hurry up, bad luck." ”
The land lord was stunned.
I hurriedly tugged my father and said softly, "He is the lord of the land." ”
The land lord listened to my words and nodded, "Yes, I am the local land, and you are Sun Qing's father?" It's just right that you're back, and I don't have to worry about Sun Wenjing dying and no one will take care of this child. As he spoke, he was about to step over the threshold to enter.
But Dad picked up the flat pole next to him, slammed it at him, and scolded, "Pretend to be a ghost, if you are the lord of the land, Lao Tzu is the lord of Hades." ”
With a snap, the knot hit him firmly, causing him to take two steps off his feet.
I was stunned, and my father was also stunned, because my father had dented his body this time, and the worldview of my father and mother, who didn't believe in ghosts and gods, was completely subverted.
