23. Concealment
I asked, "What's the problem?" ”
Blind Tai's serious expression made me a little nervous, and then she asked me, "Do you have any clues about that paper man?" ”
Hearing the blind lady talk about the paper figure, the first thing that came to my mind was my grandfather, without him, it was all because of that dream, I felt that the dream had deeply affected me, and I was a little confused, whether I should believe in reality or believe what I saw in the dream.
I thought so in my heart, but I didn't say it on my lips, I just replied to the blind lady and said, "No clue, have you found anything?" ”
When the blind lady heard my words, her expression became more serious, and she asked me a question, "Whether it is a funeral or any other evil thing that you know, have you ever heard of a black paper man?" ”
I really haven't heard of this either, because the most common ones are white and colored paper figures, and pure black paper figures are really useless, so I also wonder what kind of occasions and situations will be used to tie out paper figures made of black paper. At the same time, I wondered in my heart, the reason why Blind Auntie asked me like this was probably because what had just happened was related to the fragment of the paper figure she brought back, she must have seen something, otherwise she would not have the current reaction, but what else did she see, why didn't she tell us?
I was undecided, but I replied, "I have never attended any funerals, and even so, I have never heard of paper figurines of this color." ”
I actually didn't quite understand why Blind Grandma asked me the latter question, because I hadn't seen it too normal, and then I heard her ask me again: "The question I want to ask you is, you grew up in this family, was that night the first time you saw such a paper figure, and before that, had you seen it anywhere?" ”
Blind Auntie's question made me stunned for a moment, a little panicked, but soon I came back to my senses, shook my head and said: "How can I have such a thing in my house, not to mention a paper figure with a black body before, even an ordinary paper figure I have never seen before." ”
Blind Auntie didn't stop asking questions because she had such an answer, but asked me out loud, "Are you sure?" ”
I took a deep breath and said, "OK." ”
I don't know what she was thinking, and she didn't tell me, but after she came back to her senses, she didn't continue, but told me, "If you think about something, you must remember to tell me." ”
I answered her, and she gave up.
As for the follow-up, I can't do it until my dad goes to buy the coffin, so she and her husband left for the time being, but they were so troubled that my whole family was panicked, especially me, I only felt that mysteries and fears were gushing out like a spring, and even during the day I felt gloomy at home, and I don't know if it was a psychological effect.
There was nothing to do this night, and said that the next day, my dad went to the coffin shop very early, and then I heard my grandma's voice looking for someone, and then I got up to see, and then I learned that my grandma woke up and found that my grandfather was no longer in the room, and I didn't know where to go, it seems, I went out earlier than my dad, but no one in the family noticed, my grandma said that she didn't feel grandpa leave at all, or waited for my dad's sound in the morning to wake her up, and she found that my grandpa was no longer in bed.
Grandpa is not in bad health, at most, his spirit is not very good after that incident, so he doesn't have to worry about what he will meet or lose outside, the only thing that makes people feel abnormal is why he disappeared so early in the morning, and where did the person go?
So after that, we searched all these places where he often went, and found that they were not there, and even the whole village was searched, but we couldn't see his figure, and finally we were in a hurry, and there was really no way, my grandmother suddenly said: "Could he be going to my aunt's house?" ”
Grandma said that the aunt is my grandfather's own sister, the eldest in their generation, among their sisters and brothers, only my grandfather is still alive, and the female is still alive with my aunt, but my aunt and grandmother basically have nothing to do with our family, according to my grandma, she and my grandma also have a deep conflict, so my aunt and grandma have basically not come to this family since my grandpa and grandma passed away, and we juniors have little impression of her, I haven't even seen it.
When my grandmother talked about this stubble, my mother still said with some disbelief: "I haven't been in contact for so many years, I shouldn't go there, right?" ”
Grandma said: "Otherwise, where else can he go, going out so early, without saying a word, it should be related to yesterday's events, and this family knows the most about these things, except for the old man, there is only this aunt." ”
But whether it was or not, grandma finally went to my aunt's house to make a call, but this call was not made by my grandmother, but by my mother, and my grandmother was still very stubborn, after all, she was not on good terms with her aunt and grandmother, and even at this age, she had no intention of easing herself.
My mother called and asked, my grandfather was really at my aunt's house, and my grandfather also answered the phone by himself, and told my mother that he was going to stay at my aunt's house for a few days, so that we didn't have to go to him, and he would come back by himself in a few days.
In the end, the phone hung up, and my grandmother was angry, firstly, because of the old accounts between her and my aunt, and secondly, my grandfather left at such a time, which was completely irresponsible, but I was angry, and I still had to do what I had to do, and I couldn't do it.
It's just that I think it's strange for grandpa to go to my aunt's house at this point in time, but I didn't say anything, after all, these are things that I can't interject, and that's it, I only know that grandma and grandma have a deep contradiction, but what is the reason, even my mother doesn't know, I only know that grandma hates grandma very much, and grandma also hates my grandma, that's all.
Just taking advantage of the grandfather's runaway, I asked my grandma something, in fact, I was more curious about what happened to my grandfather recently, I always felt that grandma was covering up something for him, and that day I didn't hear my grandma say to go to the blind aunt to get the exorcism to grandpa, but then there was no sound, I took advantage of grandma when she was angry to ask deliberately, thinking that she might say something more.
Sure enough, my grandmother said it in one breath, but her first words made my heart feel like a stone pressed on it, because my grandmother said, "Wood, your grandfather, I'm afraid the time is short." ”
Grandma's words were like a bomb, which caught me off guard, and almost petrified me at the time, and I responded to her in disbelief: "Isn't Grandpa quite healthy lately, but his mental head is poor, and that cat ghost is ......"
Grandma said: "I don't know if it's because of this incident, anyway, your grandfather has shown such signs recently, and one night he slept well, suddenly turned over and woke me up, and explained the affairs of my family, I asked him why he suddenly confessed these things in the middle of the night, he said that he was afraid that it would be too late to happen, you say, isn't this what he himself feels?" ”
I was stunned for a while, and I didn't know what to do, and then I asked my grandmother, "Did you tell my parents about this?" ”
Grandma said, "Your grandfather won't let me tell your dad and your mom, so I haven't told them about it, and if you hadn't kept asking about it, I wouldn't have said it." ”
I asked, "Why, why didn't Grandpa let me tell me about my mom and dad?" ”
"I don't know, but I feel like he's scared of something, and I can feel it," Grandma said. ”
I stopped talking, and my grandmother hesitated at this point, and then said to me, "There is one more thing, I will only whisper to you, and you should not tell anyone." ”
I nodded and said, "I promise it's just the two of us." ”
