Chapter Forty-Nine: The Mysterious Visitor at the Funeral

"Grandpa!" I shouted.

There was no response, and the moment there was no response, my heart tugged at me, and this was the result I feared the most.

I rushed to my grandfather's side, picked up his cigarette pouch and pot, and then, shaking with my hands, touched my grandfather's snort, who was already out of breath.

"Dad, have you seen that the bamboo on the east side of the village is blooming!" My father's voice came from outside the courtyard wall, I held my grandfather's copper cigarette pouch and pot in my hand, put my footsteps to the lowest, quickly ran to my house, and hid the cigarette pouch and pot in my innermost box.

When I walked out, my dad happened to be at the gate as well.

Dad was also a little surprised to see me at home, he asked, "Fanwa, at home, your grandfather...... Is he asleep? "Daddy glanced over to my grandfather, but he seemed to see something unusual.

Almost in the next second, my dad rushed to my grandfather's rocking chair and knelt down.

Daddy's hands trembled and tried to touch my grandfather's snort, but he stretched out several times and retracted his hand, and he didn't dare.

Seeing my father's appearance, my eyes were also blurred, in fact, I was still immersed in the dream three days ago. I didn't even realize the fact that my grandfather had died, and now I feel that the grandfather who filled my childhood memories is gone, and the grandfather who likes to prick my forehead with stubble when he comes back from work in the fields and is tired and resting......

All of a sudden, my tears rolled down.

Grandma went to the vegetable garden to pick beans, and when she walked to the door, she was stunned when she saw the situation in the yard. Grandma's basket for beans fell to the ground, and the beans were scattered all over the ground.

She walked towards the courtyard, looked at me and my father kneeling next to my grandfather's body, she glared at us and said, "What are you two kneeling for, wake up Yang Changsheng for me!" ”

Grandma can actually see what's going on, but he doesn't want to believe that the wife who has been with him all his life is gone, the last moment is still there, the next moment is gone, and no one can accept it.

Seeing that my father and I didn't move, my grandmother walked over to my grandfather, reached out and touched my grandfather's snort, and at that moment, the nurse's face instantly became sallow and distorted, and she trembled and almost fell to the ground.

I hurried over to help my grandmother, but she suddenly broke free, and she raised her hand and shaved heavily on her face, and the sound was very loud.

"Grandma, what are you doing?" I asked, grandma had to hit her a second time, I quickly grabbed her hand, she was really herself.

"Fan Wazi, I'm sorry for you, Mingyi, I'm sorry for you, I killed Yang Changsheng, it's all me...... It's all me......" The more my grandmother spoke, the more excited she became, and she pushed me away, even slamming into the wall next to me.

My dad ran over and hugged my grandmother tightly, and she went limp and said, "I'm sorry...... Changsheng, I shouldn't have beaten you...... I shouldn't have cursed you to death! ”

What Grandma said must have been what happened that night, and she must have felt that she had done it to her grandfather and cursed him to death, so she killed her grandfather. But in fact, it's not like this, grandpa's confession three days ago was indeed fulfilled three days later, he left, it wasn't grandma who harmed him, I know this.

I also went over and said to my grandmother, "Grandma, don't blame yourself, it's not you, it's definitely not your fault!" ”

And this sentence made my dad stare at me.

Grandma kept shaking her head, and in the end, she fainted directly.

My dad carried her inside and my mom took care of her.

After coming out of the house, my father looked at me and asked, "Fanwa, do you know something?" ”

I blurted it out almost instantly, but remembering my grandfather's words, I immediately swallowed what I knew back into my stomach.

I shook my head and didn't answer.

The rest is the aftermath of my grandfather, who is now over eighty years old, and in our village, this age is considered a long life. This is a joy and mourning, and the custom is to feast guests and friends, and the whole village will come.

It is strange to say that on this day, almost every bamboo tree in all the bamboo forests in Yangjiazhuang bloomed. In the countryside, the flowering of bamboo is meant to be a disaster, but these bamboos seem to be all seeing off my grandfather.

Grandpa is very famous in our village, and he has saved too many people, so almost everyone comes to kowtow. There are even some from neighboring villages, most of whom have asked their grandfathers to do things before.

There are so many people talking about my grandfather's death.

They were talking, saying that my grandfather's body was very strong, and I saw my grandfather greeting the villagers a few days ago.

Some people said that what Grandpa did would be punished by God, so he was taken away.

Among them, those village women who like to gossip all day long, some even said that Miao Xiaoyu came to our village and lived directly in Yang Fan's house, she had only been here for a few days, and Yang Fan's grandfather was gone, I am afraid that Mr. Miao is not a fuel-efficient lamp, maybe Yang Fan's grandfather was exhausted by the little girl.

Miao Xiaoyu was next to her, she was also busy back and forth at her grandfather's funeral, and when she heard this, her face was not good-looking, so I said to her: "Xiaoyu, don't care, they like to guess blindly when they have nothing to do all day long!" ”

Miao Xiaoyu nodded and whispered, "It's okay!" ”

The few women behind saw that Miao Xiaoyu had gone to my side, and said again: "Woe to the old one, no, go to the small one again, this Yang family will let this little girl squeeze it dry sooner or later." Fortunately, I didn't let her live in our house, or I wouldn't have to suck that little girl! "Wang Gen who spoke, she broke her mouth in Yangjiazhuang.

"Yes, that's right, you said that Grandpa Yang Fan is a tough old man......" The other woman said halfway through when her voice suddenly stopped.

When Daddy walked past them, he took a basin of water in his hand and sprinkled them all over them, one by one like chickens in soup.

At Grandpa's funeral, their women didn't dare to make a mistake, so they could only admit that they were unlucky, and I knew that Daddy did it on purpose.

At about ten o'clock in the morning of the same day, Zhu Danian suddenly rushed into the courtyard.

He said that there were many black cars at the entrance of the village, and more than a dozen people were rushing towards this side, fearing that they would come to make trouble. Zhu Danian brought a few strong laborers and was already standing at the door waiting, and my father also put down his work and went to the door.

I suddenly remembered what my grandfather had said a few days ago at night.

Grandpa said that some strangers would come to his funeral, and I thought it was people from other villages, but now it seems that it is not, and grandpa should be referring to these people.

Daddy called out to me and told me to pass.

At the funeral here, there were mourners who came to offer incense, and they all wanted to kowtow, and I went to kowtow to those people. Whether it is a disturbance or not, this etiquette cannot be changed, this is the rule of the hometown.

These men, the first one, had gray hair and looked about the same age as my grandfather. He should be the eldest of these people, unlike what he had guessed before, this very stylish old man is very polite. He saw that my father and I were kneeling down and kowtowing, and hurriedly helped us both up.

Then, he asked, "Is the mourning hall inside?" ”

Daddy nodded, he nodded, and then, my dad took him in, and the men in black behind him were ordered by him to stand outside the courtyard and not let them in.

After the old man went in, he put on a stick of incense, looked at the portrait of my grandfather, and for a moment tears began to seep out of his eyes.

"Brother, why do you say that you will leave without explaining to your brother?" His voice was even a little choked, and he even called my grandfather "brother".

I glanced at my dad and asked, who is that man?

Daddy was naturally able to understand what I meant, but his response was only to shake his head, and it seemed that Daddy didn't know where the old man came from.

It's strange, I've never heard that my grandfather had such a younger brother.

The villagers are all talking about it, thinking that my grandfather has such a younger brother, he really has face, and there are several cars, which is really powerful, and they are all very envious.

It's just that I think this thing is weird, grandpa said at the time that there will be some strangers coming, if he is really my grandpa's younger brother, why didn't grandpa say it?

What's more, this person doesn't look like my grandfather at all, what is he coming from?
