I've been through the first seven countless times.

When I was very young, the first time I was scared was Xu Meijin's grandmother's first seventh, and some people who were unwilling to leave would naturally come back to be scared, and then there was my grandmother's first seven......

But people who are really good to you will not show up in the first seven, such as my grandmother, I sat at the door for a night when she was the first seven, and I didn't see her, some people like to say the word 'death', which is generally said by a woman in a coquettish tone, describing a man's attitude towards something.

But no one wants to see the real 'appearance of death', and I don't think anyone wants to really understand the true meaning of this word. Death is actually ugly, just like I went to the funeral home these days to look at my father in the freezer, the skin collapsed, the face was black, and the mouth was also skimmed down due to the pull of the skin, saying that it was not scary and the same as when I was alive was fake, in fact, people who died also knew what their situation was, so the general relatives left, even if the first seven wanted to go home to see, they would not show up, because they were afraid that their 'death appearance' would scare their families, many people knew that the relatives after the first seven left would return to the door, and how many have seen it with their own eyes?

It can be seen that the vast majority of the deceased will not let their relatives see themselves, one is to see, more concerned, two, that is, people and ghosts have different paths, no one wants to bump into their family because of their appearance, even we sometimes dream of our deceased relatives, and they will also talk twice when they go to the grave, what so-and-so don't scare me in my dreams, I'm timid or something, people won't show up in your dreams again, because I know that you are afraid, they are all relatives, as long as they are gone, It's clear where you stand.

In other words, people know very well that they are ghosts, except for deliberately responding to people, scaring you with the whole thing, the rest are very peaceful, some relatives have left, don't think they don't want you, don't give you dreams or something, in fact, this is what they really do to you, but also afraid of living relatives worrying, yin and yang, they are very clear about the concept of the word "separation".

I don't know if Dad will come back or show up, but it's going to be a night.

Mom wants to see Dad, of course it's not difficult, even my sister-in-law said, I can definitely let Mom see it, because she has also seen it, that is, with the dew I gave her to see his own mother, every July 15, at night, his own mother will float outside the window.

But my sister-in-law said that she couldn't see clearly, that is, she could see the shadow of a human figure, but she couldn't see the facial features or anything clearly, which was normal, because the naked eye was mortal, there was an enchantment between people and ghosts, and my dew was just to open up this enchantment, and that thing was standard for the Onmyoji, and it had to be a little Taoist and understanding to see it if you wanted to, normal people and ordinary people could really see it clearly, it depended on whether the thing was willing or not, he had no opinion, then you can see it as clearly as possible, otherwise there would be no ghost and be scared to death, if he didn't want to, Then I'm just going to give you dew and a magnifying glass, and you're struggling, so you can see a shadow for face, okay, who likes to be seen as a zoo monkey?

In the afternoon, I have been preparing things, a small ladder made of paper, a cigarette pipe, a bowl of water, and some fruit and fish, and put these things directly on the half of the bed where my father slept, and then I began to sprinkle noodles, starting from under the bowl of drinking water on the bed, directly to the door of the house, it was useless to sprinkle outside, the wind blew and dispersed, Angel was afraid, and she hid in the house early in a trembling manner, she wanted her sister-in-law to accompany her, but her sister-in-law naturally disagreed, and even said, "Angel, You should also meet your uncle, your mother did this, you have to talk to your uncle properly. “

Anqi was scared when she heard this, and looked at her sister-in-law and said no: "Auntie, I'm really scared, you can help me ask, my uncle won't really blame my mother, but I don't dare, I'm afraid of ghosts ......"

The sister-in-law was quite angry and scolded her in the house: "What the hell, that's your uncle!" How good your uncle has been to you since you were a child! “

Angel cried again, without her mother's protection, she couldn't lose her temper with anyone, and looked at her sister-in-law with a pitiful look: "Auntie, I beg you, don't force me like this, I'm really scared, I also know that it's my uncle, I can't burn more paper for him, don't let me see my uncle, can't I do it when I have my heart!" ”

Seeing this, the sister-in-law could only do it, and came out of her room angrily and ignored her.

I think Angel's reaction is very normal, don't look at how reasonable she is in the face of me, but she knows very well in her heart that this matter was done by her mother, so she is also afraid that my father will really be angry and let her be implicated or something.

At less than ten o'clock in the evening, I got everything ready, and the rest was to wait, I hung a string of wind chimes at the door of the house, in fact, it is taboo to hang this, because the wind chimes ring at night, it is the effect of summoning ghosts, but tonight my house is indeed going to invite ghosts into the door.

Several of us wiped the dew, Mom, I, my sister-in-law, even my uncle wiped it, I knew that I could definitely see it, one is to deal with these all the year round, and the other is that it is very sensitive, it is not a problem to see, sitting on the sofa, listening to the wind chimes being blown by the wind in the crack of the door that is not closed, my mother was a little startled at first, and kept looking at me and asking: "Qiaoqiao, is your dad back?" ”

Glancing at the time on the clock, I shook my head: "It's still early, I'll be back soon......"

I haven't had much rest these days, my eyelids are a little heavy after sitting for a while, and the TV is turned on, my sister-in-law and my uncle are a little nervous, and my mother is also a little nervous, but there is a hint of anticipation in this tension, the room is very quiet, and you can even hear the sound of each other's breathing, and you can hear the sound of the pendulum in the wall clock swaying from side to side......

I couldn't let myself fall asleep in such a daze, so I took out my phone and got up directly, and my mother looked at me reflexively: "Jojo! Where are you going. ”

"I'll call my grandfather and ask him how he's doing."

Only then did my mother exhale: "Go, come back quickly...... I'm afraid, I'm afraid that when your dad comes back, we don't know he's gone. ”

"No, sister-in-law, I'll definitely see it."

Mom still felt unreliable, and shook her head: "I know your eldest brother, I told him that I hate and fear these things the most, we used to talk nonsense, whoever leaves first, will not appear to scare the other party, I am afraid that he will remember these and not come out......"

I didn't say much, people are like this sometimes, watching other people's families die and always feel that they will be very scared when they encounter this kind of thing in the future, and they don't want to see it, but real relatives, in fact, you are not afraid, and even want to see it, this is a very contradictory and complicated feeling.

Holding the mobile phone and walking directly to an empty room, I pressed Cheng Bai Ze's number and put it to my ear, and said directly after connecting: "Grandpa is asleep, it's okay today, and I'm still waiting for the test results." ”

I sighed, didn't turn on the light, closed the door and sat directly on the edge of the bed: "Thank you." ”

Cheng Baize flew back after the three-day funeral, but he didn't come to my house, but went directly to the hospital, where Wen Xiaoni and Zong Bao, who came to help, took turns to take care of my grandfather, because grandpa needed to shoot a film or something, and no one around him couldn't do it, and I couldn't open it, so to speak, Cheng Baize's arrival indirectly helped me a lot.

"What's polite, I think grandpa's leg is a little heavy this time, I'll see the results, if not, I'll take him to the city, don't you know a doctor of orthopedic surgery, let him take a look."

I responded: "Well, Han Zheng, it's okay to find Han Zheng, he is the attending doctor of the bone." ”

"Don't worry about grandpa's side first, I'm here, it's good that you've been busy with family affairs recently, that, is Zhuo Jing still with you......"

"No, I asked him to go back, and his family has been calling him to ......"

I think a big reason why Cheng Baize didn't come to the door is that Zhuo Jing is here, and when the two of them meet, it's hard to say that they can't say anything wrong, so I think Cheng Baize can go directly to the hospital, and it is also very thoughtful.

"Cheng Baize, that, when my family is done, I will definitely treat you to a good meal."

Cheng Baize smiled helplessly on the other end of the phone: "Okay, how many meals do you owe me, don't I just happen to be fine, besides, I told you a long time ago, I treat my grandfather as my own grandfather, and I should take care of my grandfather, don't think about it here, I'll see what the results of the examination are, if you need to go to the city for treatment, then go to the Han Zheng you know, like this first." ”

"Hmm."

"Ma Jiaolong?"

"Huh?"

"Have you ever thought that Zhuo Jing would go to your house to help you, and you would invite him to dinner?"

"I ......"

He smiled again on the phone: "No, you are a person who is really out of sight sometimes, how long have we known each other, don't say anything like this in the future." ”

I tugged at the corners of my mouth, and although I was depressed, my tone was as relaxed as possible: "Then I saved it, didn't I?" ”

"Yes, I saved." He said, clearing his throat: "Do you blame me for not saying it thoroughly?" ”

"No blame, really."

"I'm for your good, if this kind of life is hard to continue, the Onmyoji will lose his life, but if there is any other way, I don't want you to face it...... Moreover, even if I helped borrow the lifespan, your father's life, which can't be brought up, is ugly to say, I don't want you to be implicated with your father, it is better to go like this, this is the best result for you. ”

"yes, I understand."

Cheng Baize has always been a very caring friend standing behind me, who would really want to watch their friend's father have an accident?

"I'm actually going down, and I know it, so I won't blame you, and there's no reason to blame you, you are still taking care of my grandfather, I thank you too late."

"Okay, okay, as soon as I speak, it's sensational again, I know what you're going to say with my eyes closed, Cheng Baize, you are my relative or something, I'm going to have a pregnancy reaction if I hear too much, grandpa called me here, let's not talk about it yet, let's go to the first seven today, accompany your mother well."

"Yes, I see."

Hanging up the phone, my mouth full of thanks was held in my stomach, I wanted to say a lot, but I couldn't say it, in Cheng Baize's words, he really heard enough after talking too much, and my gratitude to Cheng Baize has always been indescribable.

'When, when, when,......'

The clock outside the door began to tell the time on the hour, and I immediately got up, and my hand was about to cover the handle, but suddenly I felt cold, and my whole body was so cold that I heard the sound of 'ticking' and 'ticking' water droplets falling to the ground behind me—

"Jojo ......"

The joints of my neck were extremely stiff, and Mu Mu turned his head around, and the black figure of the human figure standing beside the bed behind me made my whole body tremble: "Dad......"

It's dark in the room, but because I've adapted to the darkness, I can clearly see this figure who is darker than the night in the room, he is standing next to the bed, his body should be facing me, I can't see his face clearly, his facial features, I can only see a general outline of him, it's cold, like the cold of opening the freezer door to myself, I even have a feeling that my dad came out of the freezer directly and stood opposite me.

'Tick' 'Tick'......

The sound of water droplets continued, and I looked at the ground where the black shadow was, and I could faintly see the spread of the splash, no, it wasn't a splash, it should be blood—

"Jojo, take care of your mom, dad is leaving......"

I shook my head and looked at the dark shadow, "Dad, you let Mom see you, she misses you." ”

The black shadow slowly moved like a corner, and his voice was low and cold: "I'm afraid of scaring her...... Jojo, Daddy is cold, it's cold, it's cold, don't let Daddy stay there, it's dark there, you can't see anything......"

As he spoke, the black shadow slowly hid in the corner of the wall and disappeared......

"Dad!!" I ran over and touched the cold wall with my hand: "Dad! Mom still wants to ask you! Father!! ”

"There's a ghost!!"

Suddenly there was a screaming sound outside the door, I immediately opened the door, and watched Angel running down the stairs with a roll, and fell down directly because she didn't step in the last few sections, and she didn't care about the pain, and almost ran to the sister-in-law sitting on the sofa: "Auntie! Auntie, my uncle is back! He's back!! “
