Chapter 11 The Great Burial on Qushuiting Street 2

readx;?β€œ I'll try, but I'm just betting and don't get your hopes up. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info child, this knowledge is too deep, no one dares to say that it will be able to do it. Your grandfather is a great hero who has not been included in the annals of history, but unfortunately, people can't be resurrected after death, let alone me, even my master and ancestor don't have the ability to 'change their lives against the sky'. Aunt Guan said with a wry smile.

I don't know what Aunt Guan is going to do, but things have developed to this point that they are no longer under anyone's control.

Aunt Guan sandwiched the sewing needle between the fingers of her right hand, and pressed the five fingers of her left hand on the top of her grandfather's head.

When he was admitted to the hospital, the nurse shaved all his grandfather's hair, and the white stubble that had just grown was less than a centimeter.

"Save him. Tang Wan said, "The big secret is all on him." ”

Aunt Guan shook her head: "I don't have that ability, I'm just a dead horse as a live horse doctor." ”

Suddenly, the right hand of the official lady fell, and three embroidery needles were inserted in a zigzag shape on the top of the grandfather's head, and the one-inch-long needle body was not in the end.

Grandpa trembled and kicked his legs on the hospital bed.

"Finding the 'Divine Water Mirror' can't let the Japanese succeed, and we Shandong people swear to die not to be foreign slaves...... Find it, find it......" Grandpa's voice was intermittent, and it was impossible to tell whether it was grandpa or grandpa who was talking.

Tang Wan leaned over and grabbed his grandfather's hands and shouted, "Don't go, I can help you solve the problem......"

I also knelt forward and grabbed Grandpa's ankles with both hands, trying to calm him down.

Grandpa's ankles were extremely thin, with only skin and bones left. When I used to wash his feet, the biggest feeling was that his feet were cold, and there was hardly a trace of heat. But now, his ankles are hot, and the temperature on his body is at least 60 degrees Celsius. What's even weirder is that I feel like there are more than a dozen forces in his ankles entangled, and it seems that he can tear the skin and explode at any moment.

I pounced on it and crushed my grandfather's calves underneath me.

Grandpa struggled so hard that I pressed him with all my might, almost kicking me out a few times.

"I can't go on any longer, something big will happen!" the official lady shouted.

"Let him tell the whereabouts of the 'Divine Appearance Water Mirror', if he doesn't say it, the clue will be broken...... Say it quickly, tell me where it is, in Jinan or in Japan? In the hands of the Chinese or in the hands of the Japanese? Ask him quickly, ask him quickly-" Tang Wan refused to give up, but the words stopped only here, because Grandpa's body suddenly straightened out, and there was no longer the slightest struggle.

The three of us let go together and took three steps back.

"It's over, it's over, it's over......," Aunt Guan sighed three times, threaded a silk thread into the needle's nose, and slowly pulled out the needle.

Tang Wan was the first to react and ordered in a low voice: "Let's tidy up the ward, and we must not let outsiders find out about the abnormality." ”

She immediately went to the futon and put all the mess back into the cloth bag.

Aunt Guan wanted to say something, but Tang Wan raised her hand to stop her: "Aunt Guan, you go immediately, I will accompany Tianshi to handle all the formalities here." ”

"Okay. Aunt Guan didn't argue, and went out with her head bowed with a cloth bag.

The sun came in through the window** and shone on Grandpa's face. His eyes were closed, his face was pale and calm, and the wrinkles on his forehead were all stretched out, smooth and smooth, like a woodland after rain.

Tang Wan rang the bell, and the nurse came in to clean up the monitoring equipment, and then pushed the stretcher cart in and carried the grandfather up.

The whole time, my body and mind were all stiff, I didn't think about anything, I didn't do anything.

As the nurse moved my grandfather's body, I saw his palm. The Sichuan palm print is gone, and the skin on his palm is all unfolded, and all the lines have been smoothed out.

I seem to think of the night when my eldest brother was killed, the military thorn pierced into the palm of my eldest brother's palm, and the palm print did not disappear, but it was cut off by the waist.

"My relatives are gone, my connection with them has been cut off, and since then, no one in the world's six billion people is related to me. I'm just a person in the summer...... I am the only one left in the Xia family, how can I take revenge? How can I take revenge......" The sky swirled in front of me, and all the scenery was swept into a huge whirlpool, flying around me in place.

I heard Tang Wan calling me, but the voice was like dozens of layers of quilts.

"Grandpa...... Grandpa...... The eldest brother ......, "I felt like I was screaming all the time, but in the end I couldn't even hear my own voice.

"Revenge. Those two words became the vows I remembered before I lost consciousness.

When I woke up, I heard the sound of gurgling water.

It should be the sound of running water under the bridge between the wall, I have listened to it for more than 20 years, and I have long heard it thoroughly, and I can imagine the appearance of the water just by listening to the sound of the water.

As soon as I was excited, I woke up: "I'm in the old house in Zhongyi Hutong, what about my grandfather, and what happened in the hospitalβ€”"

Before I could open my eyes, I sat up with a snort.

"Don't move, watch out for the needle. Tang Wan's voice came to his ears in time.

When I opened my eyes, it was indeed an old mansion, and I was in the bedroom west of the north house, and under my body was the jujube wood bed that I had been accustomed to sleeping in since I was a child.

Tang Wan sat on the edge of the bed and pressed my left hand with her right hand to make sure the infusion needle on the back of my hand would not be thrown out.

There is no injection rod in front of the bed, and the liquid bottle is placed in a net basket that hangs from the head of the mosquito net. It's true that this is my home, but without my grandfather, all that's left of this home is a dark shell.

"Tianshi, the funeral is underway, the outside spirit shed has been erected, as long as you are mentally recovered, you can go to the outside spirit shed. The neighbors are very helpful, and everything is ready for money and goods, so you don't have to worry about anything. Tang Wanyan introduced the situation concisely and concisely, and made everything I wanted to know clear.

I raised my right hand and slapped it twice on my forehead.

His head was swollen like a ripe watermelon, and his hand hit his forehead, and he made an echo of "tom".

"Are you okay?" Tang Wan's hand was pressed against my forehead, sending a hint of coolness.

"Thank you. Those are the only two words I have to say.

"Don't thank me, when you can get out of bed, thank you neighbors, they are all good people. Tang Wan responded, "Now, lying down for infusion is the best reward for everyone." ”

As she spoke, she reached behind me and helped me lie down slowly.

Of course, the old neighbors of Zhongyi Hutong and Qushuiting Street are good people, and the good water and soil on this side raise the only remaining loyal and benevolent group in old Jinan. Compared with them, inside and outside the four cities, the old rules, old traditions, and old habits of old Jinan have been completely impacted by foreign cultures, migrant worker groups, and investment groups, and finally disappeared.

Jinan is a good place, when the capital frenzy swept the world, and mankind pursued only fame and fortune, I am afraid that no place in China can become a paradise of peach blossoms that have survived.

The sound of the water is still ringing, and the sound of flowing water, which used to be noisy or softly singing, now brings me only a bottomless sorrow. The old mansion is not big, but if I am alone, it will definitely be empty. My heart was hollowed out, and I was left with the shell of my body, shriveled and shriveled, and no longer alive.

"Sleep, sleep a little longer, and you'll be fine. Tang Wan whispered in my ear.

I went through a long period of half-sleeping, waking up and dreaming, and waking up in dreams. Every minute, the words "Divine Water Mirror" would automatically jump out, like four sharp needles, repeatedly pricking my body, making me feel uneasy.

"Find the 'Divine Water Mirror'β€”" Grandpa called.

"Divine Water Mirror-" Grandpa called.

"Hand over the 'Divine Water Mirror'β€”" The mysterious enemy from somewhere was also calling.

The gentleman is not guilty, but he is guilty. The tragic death of the eldest brother is precisely because of it, and the focus of everyone's pursuit is also it. So, as soon as I get closer to it, the closer I get to finding the real culprit, right?

"I want revenge, I want revenge for my big brother!" I told myself repeatedly.

When I was semi-conscious, I felt Tang Wan holding my hand all the time. From time to time, she also probed my forehead, and then sighed softly, like the magnolia tree in Xi'an Road falling flowers floating on the water of Liu's Spring.

"What does she want, why is she so good to me, is it also for the 'Divine Water Mirror'?" I asked myself in my dream.

The philosopher said that there is no love without a reason in the world, and there is no hate without a reason.

With Tang Wan's appearance and occupation, it is impossible to fall in love with me at first sight, unless-

The rules of old Jinan, the old man in the family died, he needed to stay in the house for three days, and he could not get up at noon on the third day, first go to the funeral home to refine, and then rush to the cemetery with the urn to bury, and then there will be three days to the grave, five seven to the grave, and one hundred days to the grave.

That's the full set of rules, and I've had a lot of neighbors pass away over the years, and I'm already familiar with everything when I go to help. Now, I just ask my grandfather to be buried safely, to put a complete end to his life, and not to be disturbed in any way.

At dusk on the second day of the funeral, I was finally fully awake and able to kneel in the funeral tent.

On my side is a big "Dian" character, and on the left and right of that word, a white paper flower hangs diagonally, diagonally on the black and white photo of my grandfather. In the two-foot-tall ebony picture frame, Grandpa stared at the empty mourning shed with a smile and a serene expression and wise eyes.

There was a sound of clattering footsteps from far and near, and the white linen curtain on the right side of the mourning shed was lifted, revealing the pale and thin face of the official aunt.

I was just about to get up, but Aunt Guan had already waved her hand to stop: "Sit down, I know that you are not well yet." ”

She dragged a small maza and sat down next to me.

"Just now I saw Dr. Tang leave at the mouth of the alley, and when no one from the family came at this time, we said a few words against people. Aunt Guan said.

I nodded, waiting for her to speak.

She fumbled in her pockets, took out a stainless steel dry tobacco case, skillfully pinched the yellow tobacco into the cigarette paper, and pinched two rolls in three to make a horn cigarette roll.

"In our line of work, a lot of things are very delicate, and you can't tell anyone what you see or hear. In the past, when people from the older generation asked us to come to work, they all obeyed the arrangement, never asked questions, and did not investigate the reason. The work is done, what should be sent, what should be invited, what should be broken, when it is over, it will be over, as soon as the wind blows, people will disperse, and when they wake up the next day, no one will mention it again. Many examples of stories in this line should not appear in the street chatter, because they are all secret privacy. Think about it, in this old street, alley, old alley, and old house, who doesn't have a family fairy or family god? Wantonly commenting on other people's family affairs is a big taboo......" Aunt Guan lit a cigarette and said a beginning while smoking.
