37, the first night (II)
When grandma said this, she suddenly changed her tone and said: "Don't get involved in this matter, this is my grievance with her, and it is impossible to reconcile until death." ”
I was amazed at my grandmother's attitude, grandma and my aunt are sisters, although they have been sent out since childhood, but after all, they are a unified bloodline, if it is not a trivial matter, it will never be like this. When I thought of this, I suddenly thought of my third sister who was sent out because of me, I don't know if she survived, if she didn't survive, then wouldn't I have been born with a debt of life?
Grandma said this, in the time when grandma told these things, I have calmed down, I have sorted out what happened before fainting, at this time I still care about grandpa's corpse, grandma told me that I don't have to worry, they have put grandpa's body in the coffin, the coffin is placed in the living room of the north wing, grandma said that it is not an exaggeration to put it in the north wing, after all, it is the main hall of the former ancestor, my grandpa lived there, and it is justified.
When I heard my grandmother say this, I only had two points in my heart, the first was that the coffin was not lifted down from the upper floor, and it was my grandmother who told me to wait until tomorrow to move, why was it just that I fainted for such a while, not only the coffin had been lifted down and placed, but even my grandfather's body was also put in the coffin; The second is, why was my grandfather's body in a coffin after I fainted, what happened in such a hurry, according to custom, this night must be in the main hall for the mortuary overnight, but why is it so hurried in the middle of the night?
I think grandma must have something to hide from me, and these reasons are all after I fainted.
I suddenly remembered that when the mouse ran into the room, I heard the sound of the crockpot breaking, and I saw that my grandmother looked different, so I didn't continue to ask my grandfather about the corpse, but said to them: "The mouse ran into my room before I fainted, and it seems that the jar brought back from Huaxiu's coffin was broken." ”
Grandma they listened, then looked into the room, I entered the room has long disappeared the trace of the mouse, I don't know where it ran away, as for the ground, is the crockpot fragments, it has indeed been broken, but it is very strange that there is no trace of water flowing out of the ground, I remember that the crockpot is full of water, but why is the crockpot broken now, but the water is gone?
Then I heard my grandmother say, "You have been in good health for the past few days, and you must have unknowingly only sucked the water in this crockpot, otherwise with your life, how could you have lasted so long." ”
Grandma's words didn't come up with her own, but what Blind Grandma told Grandma, so that's why I put the crockpot in my room in the first place, I realized that they didn't tell me the truth from the beginning, just drinking water from the well can't solve the problem, the key is still on Huaxiu, even if she is dead, I am still sucking her only remaining life.
I looked at the debris all over the ground for a while, and I didn't know what to do, and then my dad said coldly: "Why do I think that this rat came to the house tonight not because of my father's corpse, but because of the wood, do you feel like that?" ”
My mom and grandmother looked at my dad, and my dad continued: "You think, that day I saw this mouse in the wood in the well, it was when Hua Xiu's body began to weaken after he died, and after seeing the mouse, he suddenly fainted, and today it is the same situation, the water in the crockpot dries up, it appears, and the wood's body starts to be bad again, which is too coincidental." ”
If my dad said that, it seems to be true, so if my dad's statement is correct, does it mean that I really won't be able to survive adulthood?
My grandmother and my mother didn't speak, they didn't know what to say, and it was not good to say anything at this time, so my grandmother said to me, "You clean up these pieces and put them up, and you have to ask the blind aunt if you can throw them away." ”
Then my grandmother asked me if I still think there is anything wrong, although my heart is also a little bit up and down by my father, but for now it is good, and I dare not say that the reason why I fainted was because of the repeated fright, I was scared by the rat once, I was scared by the grandfather who suddenly got up the corpse once, and I was scared by my dad's weird appearance once, but now I feel that the whole family is weird, as if they are deliberately hiding something from me, I dare not say anything.
After that, I went to the main hall of the north wing, only to see the coffin with vermilion paint parked inside, and I didn't know how my grandmother got the coffin down, I didn't dare to ask, I only dared to sneak a look at them, I asked, "Is the coffin nailed?" ”
My dad said, "I haven't nailed it yet, and I won't nail it until the day of the funeral." ”
I didn't say anything, I asked, "Won't it be strange to move here from the living room of the main house when the relatives of the family come tomorrow and ask what they are going to say?" ”
Grandma said: "You don't have to worry about this, in fact, the coffin was originally scheduled to be parked here, and the relatives of Ming'er's family don't need to say anything." ”
Grandma sent me away in a few words, many things are actually tacit to me and her, I don't ask questions, she has answers and doesn't say, but I don't know why my dad and my mom also helped her hide from me, what happened during the time I fainted, and I think I only fainted for a few minutes, what can they do in such a short time, or do I feel like I'm feeling wrong, in fact, I've fainted for a long time?
This is the second time I feel the fear of this home, the first time is when I wake up at the bottom of the well and realize that no one notices that I am still in the well, but this time it is different, last time they were completely kept in the dark, this time it was intentional, when I thought of this, I suddenly had a very crazy idea, if the last time I was trapped at the bottom of the well, in fact, everyone knew that I did not come up and fainted at the bottom of the well, but no one said anything, and there was no exactly the same me at home, In order to convince me that I was not trapped in the well, they made up a scenario in which "I" crawled out of the well and lived with them for a day......
I didn't dare to think about it anymore, and I shook my head and threw all these thoughts out, I only felt that it was too dirty to guess my family themselves so viciously, so I scolded myself in my heart and stopped all thoughts.
After that, my dad said that it would be okay for him to guard it, let me go to sleep for a while, after all, the matter of my life is also a sword hanging in their hearts, if my grandfather is only gone at home, and I have an accident because of this, let the white-haired person send the black-haired person, how should this be good. My dad said it was very serious, and it tasted a little sad, so I didn't disobey them anymore, and my grandmother said that she would let me sleep in the next room, which was also a disguised wake-up for my grandfather, and she and my mother went to the living room of the main room to watch and see what to do, and Ming'er didn't have to be in a hurry.
Although I was a little afraid of this, but I reluctantly agreed, and then I fell asleep in a daze, but as soon as I fell asleep, I had the dream of the paper man and grandfather, and it was exactly the same as when I turned around, my grandfather became the black paper man, and then I was scared to wake up, and even after waking up, the fear did not dissipate, as if the paper man was at the head of the bed just now.
I calmed down and sat up from my bed, for it must not have been long since I had fallen asleep, for it was still midnight, and it was a little bright because the lights were on in all parts of the house, but the silence of midnight could be felt.
I slept for a while and felt better, and I didn't dare to continue sleeping, so I came out to the main hall outside, but after I came out, I saw that there was no one in the main hall, although the lights were on, but my dad didn't know where to go.
I looked outside the house, although the lights outside the house were on, but there was no one, I looked in the direction of the hall, and I didn't hear my mother and grandmother's movements, I was a little puzzled, I wanted to go out to see, but in the end I didn't go out, but looked back at the coffin behind me, and a bold thought came to mind.
