Chapter 20: 'People'
"Huh?"
I retracted my hand in a daze, and listened to the eldest grandmother continue in a flat voice, "Look carefully, these are the dirty things in everyone's mouths......"
"They...... Both? ”
"Hmm."
The big nodded, I didn't ask more, standing on this familiar but unfamiliar street, looking blankly at the 'person' who passed by me.
It's strange, at that moment, I wasn't afraid, the sky was not dark, the mist was layered, I couldn't see their faces too clearly, but they were very recognizable, some were brightly colored, some were fashionable, some were old, and some were down-and-out......
There were all different ways of walking, some laughing past me, some carrying baskets, some riding in horse-drawn carriages, and some driving cars!
Lively ~
The small street is obviously very narrow, and you can't see the street at a glance, and you can't see the end at a glance, and when you look up, they seem to come from the white fog and walk into the white fog again.
There are a lot of 'people', but they don't collide with each other, let alone me, and they do their own things and take care of each other.
I really became a spectator, I could see clearly, but I couldn't see clearly......
The voice of the grandmother above her head was a little embarrassed, "Look, do you have everything?" ”
"Grandma, they also have to live down there?"
"Of course."
The eldest grandmother exhaled, "Qingming, even if it's the day they catch up with the big gathering." ”
I swallowed my saliva and lowered my eyes, and there was a ragged man on the ground crawling past my feet, and when I looked closely, his trouser legs were empty!
I wanted to hide, but the big signaled to me not to, "Jingwei, you remember, how people go, what it looks like below, under normal circumstances, they are not scary, what you see above is the terrifying side they deliberately took out, some are for self-protection, and some are to attract the attention of the living and achieve a certain purpose......"
The eldest grandmother said, watching the crawling side gradually move away from my legs, "The person you saw was a beggar when he was alive, he was hit by a car and died, and no one gave money and clothes, so it was also miserable down there......"
My throat was tight, I turned my head, and saw an old lady holding a cow, the cow was golden and yellow, and the whole body was covered with bright golden paper, cut, very fake!
The old lady wore a dark blue blouse and cloak to lead it, and her feet fluttered, and when she dangled next to me, she turned her face, and her eyes were gray and abrupt, and there were no black eyes!
"Oops!"
I was scared, how can I see this so clearly!
What about fog!
Let's have a thin horse!
"Old Mrs. Li, you scared my granddaughter."
The eldest grandmother calmly said to her, "You're not on it, I'm coming down." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the old lady and the cow were both normal in an instant, and her whole person became very kind, just like an old man with a cow in the field.
At this glance, I still know her, Li Fang in the back street, she has a very serious eye disease, she is blind in the later stage of cataracts, and she doesn't go out when she is alive.
left the year before last, and the big milk was given to Zhang Luo in the future.
"Oops, it scared me."
Mrs. Li nodded and touched her chest with her hand, "Sister, you know, I can't stand being scared." ”
“……”
My cheeks twitched, I didn't say anything, who was going to be scared?!
While talking, Mrs. Li still looked at me and smiled, "Little Jingwei, I haven't seen you for a long time, big girl, you've become beautiful." ”
“……”
I still didn't squeeze out a word, my neck stiffened, and I looked at Mrs. Li's smile like a flower...... Let's not see each other, you can go all the way.
"Okay, it's not a person, don't be polite, you should go back!"
The big grandmother waved her hand, and Mrs. Li nodded and led the cow away, and when she was about to walk into the fog, she turned around, still smiling, far away, her mouth only moved twice, and the voice came very clearly-
"Sister, thank you for my business, this cow is very good, it didn't make me suffer, by the way, you help me and my son to say, don't set off firecrackers when you go to see me during the New Year, that thing is so loud that it makes my ears hurt......"
"Well, I made a note of it!"
The big milk nodded, and Mrs. Li led the cow and disappeared immediately.
I looked at it with my mouth half open, and remembered that Li Fang said that she and her family went to the grave with her family during the Chinese New Year, and every time a firecracker went off a few times, the fire would be extinguished and the twist would be broken.
Her dad thought it was the firecrackers that were damp, and co-authored, but her grandmother didn't want to listen to it!
"Jingwei, don't be afraid, you know people, so you will see us."
Big comforted me in a low voice, "You see she was protecting herself just now, and she didn't want to bump into people, so she scared you." ”
I nodded and looked around, the surroundings were still lively, people came and went, "Milk, how long are they going to stay down there?" ”
"There is yang longevity when you live, and there is yin longevity when you leave."
The big milk opened her mouth lightly, "There is a big limit of three years, and it will not be on the top after three years...... The purpose of taking you to see it today is to let you know that all living beings, dirty things are far more than what you see, and the dirty things that grind people are a collection of sorrow, sadness, pain, suffering, disaster, resentment, infatuation, hatred, illness, misery, and calamity......
But the dead are big, and it is not easy for people to leave, and there is a long way to go alone, and we are gentlemen, that is, to distinguish between good and evil, and balance yin and yang......"
I listened quietly, even if it was noisy in my ears, the words of the big milk still really cut into my ears, "Jingwei, Yang is not easy to do, anyone who has a wisdom root will be cultivated by the introductory master early, especially the four spirits, and will be carefully cultivated since childhood, listen more and watch more, grow up, naturally will not be afraid, highly talented, and even have their own eyes Yin and Yang, blood can control evil, can leave the Qiankun, but you are not in good health when you are young, I have always avoided letting you come into contact with these, until you pass the double eight tribulation, this is the only way to let you get started." ”
"......"
I raised my eyes to look at the big, "Didn't the old fairy still say that it was early, I couldn't survive eight whips." ”
"The whip is drawn early, the old fairy means, is to wait for your real determination to drink the eight whips in one go, and save you from the second stubble."
The eldest grandmother sighed lowly, "But if I don't smoke, how can you know the severity, if you don't smoke, how do you touch yin and yang, your life is here, it's really a contradiction." ”
I didn't have a word, I finally understood the purpose of the whip of big, and she knew very well that I couldn't stand it, so she pulled it down, just to let me know how difficult it is to be a gentleman.
Don't break, don't stand.
"Okay, I've seen it, let's go back."
The big milk took me around, I turned my head, looking at the street in the fog, there was really no sense of fear in my heart, there was no wind and no waves, this person and this scene, imitating the smoke and waves, like a thick and colorful oil painting.
…… Like a dream, like a dream, the waning moon is heavy and the flowers are heavy.
