Could it be that my grandfather met a friend in the field in his early years and became a brother?

However, I have never heard of what grandpa had in the early years outside, at least he never mentioned it, I think he should have been in Yangjiazhuang all along.

However, my father was forced by my grandmother to go out for a period of time in the early years, of course, it was so that my father could bring back a daughter-in-law to inherit the Yang family, and later my father did not disgrace his mission and brought back my mother.

Obviously, my father and this old man did not know each other, and when I first saw such a person come to my grandfather to incense, my father was as surprised as I was.

I also learned from his conversation with my father that this person's name is Wu Hongwen, and those people below call him the ninth master, and I don't know where this title comes from, maybe he is the ninth in his hometown, maybe something else.

During this period, I went to the entrance of the village in the east, mainly to get some cypress branches and bamboo, our custom here, these things are used at the funeral of my grandfather the day after tomorrow.

When I got there, I paid attention to the license plate numbers of those cars, and the ones that started with Lu were not local cars at all. I suddenly thought of a question, Grandpa had just left not long before these people arrived. Not to mention that our family is not familiar with this Wu Jiuye, even if they are familiar, in such a short time, if something happens, he rushed over from Shandong, it is impossible to be so fast.

I made an assumption, unless this Wu Jiuye, like my grandfather, can pinch and calculate, he may have calculated that my grandfather will leave on this day, so he rushed to offer incense on this day.

No matter from any point of view, this Wu Jiuye is definitely not an ordinary person, and it is really impossible to guess what he has to do with my grandfather. Dad once asked once, but Wu Jiuye said, "Alas...... It's all old things, so don't mention it......"

This made people even more suspicious, the old man was obviously avoiding the question, and my father could see the suspicion in his eyes.

In addition, those who usually come to offer incense leave on the same day, but this person has no intention of leaving, so he has no intention of leaving.

Those who come are guests, and if they don't leave, they can't catch up.

Daddy said to the old man, "Let him live in my house." If he is tired from the journey, he can go and rest, and I basically don't have to sleep at night, because he can live in my house because I have to keep a wake for my grandfather.

I didn't expect my dad to make this decision suddenly, and I was taken aback by my dad's words.

Grandpa's cigarette pouch and pot are hidden in my house, and my father also arranged for a stranger to live in my house, and grandpa repeatedly emphasized that it must not be seen by strangers.

Moreover, even if he is not interested in my grandfather's cigarette pouch and pot, but there is a stranger living in my house, and when the time comes, I will have to take the cigarette pouch and pot away unknowingly to fulfill my grandfather's last wish, but it will not be so easy.

But the only guest room in my house is where Miao Xiaoyu lives, and there are no other vacant rooms, so Wu Jiuye seems to see my reluctance, he immediately waved his hand at my father, and said: "Don't be so troublesome, Mingyi, I came here this time to see my brother away, originally this funeral is enough for your family to be busy, don't delay time for me, an old man, I have my own arrangements here!" ”

Daddy looked at me and glared at me.

"Mingyi, don't blame the child, I'm such a bad old man, and it's not suitable to live in the child's house." After Wu Jiuye finished speaking, he glanced at me, showed a mysterious smile, and then went out, he told my father to go out and go around, and said, if my grandfather didn't look at the cemetery, he could help, after all, he is also engaged in this.

Grandpa's grave was chosen by himself before his death, and his father just thanked Wu Jiuye and told him that the grave had been decided.

After he left, my father pulled me into the house and said: "You calf, why did you have such an expression just now, the ninth master of the family is a guest, take 10,000 steps back, he still has people, this person is definitely not simple, offend him, I'm afraid our Yangjiazhuang don't want to live in peace!" ”

"Daddy...... I...... I have a cleanliness fetish and don't like people sleeping in my bed! "I can only say that, grandpa has explained, and you must hold back what you know.

Daddy looked at me incredulously, and then said, "Cleanliness? Don't think that dad is easy to fool, kid, I'm your daddy, do you have anything to hide from daddy? ”

I was taken aback by my father's question, and my eyes unconsciously glanced at the box in the corner of my room on the side. However, it was just a glance, and soon I dodged it.

"Dad, no, I really didn't hide it from you!" All I can say is that I can't think of a better way to explain it.

My dad was still staring at me, and when my grandfather had just died, the words I said to my grandma aroused my dad's suspicions. I guess this time I was targeted by my father.

However, my dad just stared at it for a while, and someone called me dad outside, probably someone came, and I also kowtowed with me, all from the village to offer incense.

The whole day was busy and there were too many people.

In the afternoon, Zhu Danian came over, he took me and my father aside, and said in a low voice: "Wu Jiuye has been walking around the village with those few people, and they have been wandering around for a day. ”

"He said he was going to show my dad the grave." Daddy's face changed slightly, and he looked back at me.

I didn't know what it meant, but I always felt that the atmosphere was very awkward, so I said, "Yes, look at the cemetery, look at feng shui, just like my grandfather, just wander around!" ”

Zhu Danian touched the back of his head and said, "yes, I see that he is still holding a small compass, and he is still hiding it?" ”

These words made my father's expression change again, and he said, "Danian, are you sure you read it right? ”

"Absolutely, Uncle Changsheng used that thing before, how could I not recognize it." Zhu Danian is very sure.

Dad and Zhu Danian said some other things, Zhu Danian left, Dad told Zhu Danian to let him stare at Wu Jiuye's people, maybe their purpose of coming to Yangjiazhuang was not so simple.

Zhu Danian naturally listened to my father, he personally experienced the wind and rain ten years ago, and he knew best the weight of what my father explained.

In the evening, Wu Jiuye estimated that he had walked around our village and went to my house.

I happened to be outside at the time, and I met him, and he greeted me.

I responded politely, I saw that his shoes were stained with a lot of mud, and I guess the place I went to was really bad, I didn't expect him to come over to give incense to my grandfather, but there was this kind of Yaxing.

"Xiaofan, nothing special has happened in your village recently?" Wu Jiuye walked towards me and asked in a low voice.

To be honest, I didn't expect him to ask this question, I was stunned for a moment, of course I couldn't tell him what I knew, so I said: "It's nothing special, it's just that this morning, the bamboo in the village has bloomed!" ”

Wu Jiuye has been wandering around our village for a day, and he won't know this. He wasn't surprised when I replied, he knew this, but he didn't go any further.

He just nodded, glanced into my yard, and asked another question.

"That girl is your girlfriend?"

No need to ask, he must be referring to Miao Xiaoyu, I immediately said: "No, she is a teacher who came to our village to teach, and she has only been here for a few days." ”

Wu Jiuye still nodded, he stared at Miao Xiaoyu for a while, he patted me on the shoulder and said, "Xiaofan, this woman is not simple, you take it easy!" ”

I'm confused by what he said, it's not simple, let me take it easy, what do you mean?

He saw that I didn't understand or explain, smiled, and walked away.

In the evening, I heard Zhu Danian say that Wu Jiuye and those people had tents and had already settled in the wheat field. I didn't expect them to be really well prepared, even with tents, what are they going to do?

We don't have any relatives in my family, and the villagers come to help, and Shangxiang will not spend the night at my house. After night, the house is very deserted.

In the mourning hall was the body of my grandfather, and I was sitting next to it.

I didn't feel scared, I just felt uncomfortable in my heart, I was very disappointed to see my grandfather like this, I was joking with my grandfather yesterday, and I sprayed with him, he just lay down today and didn't move.

After Miao Xiaoyu was done, she rested first, and I watched the light in her room from afar. I've been wondering, what was Grandpa watching that night?

Wu Jiuye also said, this woman is not simple, what does he mean?

Coupled with the similarity between Miao Xiaoyu and Lin Xiaowei, is it a coincidence, I can't convince myself more and more.

In the second half of the night, I started to feel sleepy, and I couldn't even open my eyes.

My grandmother has become very weak because of my grandfather's affairs, and my mother has been taking care of her. There was only me and my father left in the mourning hall, and my father probably saw that I was sleepy and said: "Fanwa, you don't have to stay all night, just come and go, you go to sleep first!" ”

I sighed and didn't answer, I was actually quite sleepy, but I wasn't in the mood to sleep.

At this time, the ever-bright lamp in front of the grandfather's spiritual bed suddenly flickered, and suddenly, I felt that the surroundings suddenly became colder, and my father was immediately alert.

Immediately afterwards, I heard a snort, and I don't know where a gust of wind almost blew out the ever-bright lamp, and my father hurriedly reached out to protect it, but he was stumbled by something.
