Chapter 2: The Funeral of All Souls

After that, my grandfather closed his eyes and pinched the mantra in his hand to tell me a fortune.

My grandfather's fortune calculation is basically a few seconds, and it will not take more than a minute at most.

But my grandfather counted me, but it took a full ten minutes.

Grandpa's face became paler and paler, and his father stood aside anxiously.

Finally, my grandfather suddenly opened his eyes and looked at me in the room in shock.

Then he wrinkled his eyebrows and said to my father, "Remember, there are three things you need to do next. ”

"Father, say that the son must be remembered."

My father knew that at this time, my grandfather might be on his deathbed to confess, and our family was involved in divination, and my grandfather could guess even if it was just a look.

Grandpa nodded when he heard this and said, "One of them is that my grandson must have a catastrophe when he is seven years old, and once this catastrophe passes, he will be safe before he is eighteen years old." ”

"Second, I'll give you a contact information later, you remember this person's contact information, and you will send my grandson over when he is robbed. After your grandchildren are gone, you have to pour three glasses of wine and kowtow three times a day to the big locust tree. ”

"Third, my grandson is not allowed to start a hexagram until he is eighteen years old, because once he does, something will happen. When the age comes, no matter who counts the first hexagram, they are not allowed to receive anything. ”

My father quickly agreed, and then my grandfather gave him three books to give to me later.

My father's eyes were red, and his throat choked up; "Father, you ......"

"Me? Hehe, old man, it's time to rest, what will happen to our Chang family in the future, it depends on my grandson Remember, this child is smart and clever, and he must be dedicated to teaching, and don't let him go down the wrong path. As for how far he can go, it depends on his creation. ”

After speaking, my grandfather shook his head and returned to the room, and my father sat on his knees in a decadent manner, his face full of tears.

But my father also knows that the great changes in the family now are what our Chang family deserves.

The next day, my father found that my grandfather was deaf, and although he could speak, he could not hear anything.

In my grandfather's words, it was cause and effect, and my grandfather begged heaven for me, so I had to pay the price.

The father hugged his grandfather's leg and cried, saying that it was all his fault, and that if he hadn't wanted a child, his grandfather wouldn't have become like this.

Since then, our family has become much quieter, and we hardly interact with outsiders, and even if someone comes to tell fortunes, my father will only shirk my grandfather's fortune sealing.

People who come must be happy to come and leave disappointed, but my grandfather's reputation is outside, and no one dares to snoop on it.

I grew up like this, from babbling to staggering, my grandfather was with me.

Everyone in my family is happy, because I am the only son of the Chang family, and I am the hope of the Chang family.

Until I was six years old, an accident happened and my grandfather died.

Grandpa was very peaceful when he left, with two letters by his side, one of which was for me.

When my grandfather left, the house was full of people, and I only knew from that moment that my grandfather was so powerful and knew so many rich people.

Up to the officials and nobles, down to the small people, the day my grandfather left, the whole village was fenced off.

They persuaded me to mourn Father's Day, and said that I would definitely be better than my grandfather in the future, I didn't understand what they were talking about at the time, but I didn't understand until I grew up, maybe that was the legacy of my grandfather.

I didn't understand what they were doing, except that everyone was wearing dark clothes with a white cloth on their sleeve.

The house and outside are all decorated with white cloth, and wreaths and flower baskets are placed all over the village.

My grandfather's mourning hall was placed in the courtyard, and I made a shed and put my grandfather's coffin inside.

If a person dies, he should be kept in his home for three days, and during these three days, he should be left for posterity to remember and accept the deceased away.

It wasn't until the evening of the third day that I walked to my grandfather's coffin while no one was looking at me.

I touched my grandfather's coffin and was not a little scared, but I was curious why my grandfather was lying in it and not coming out.

I called my grandfather to get up and play with me, and my mother cried and hugged me when she saw it, saying that my grandfather was sleeping and told me not to disturb.

I'm the child of a director, and I grew up with my grandfather, and since my grandfather is sleeping, I can't disturb him.

My father and mother and I knelt in front of the coffin, and my father threw some paper money into the brazier from time to time.

I walked over and threw the paper money inside, and my father looked at me with relief and said that my grandfather didn't hurt me in vain.

But just as it was close to twelve o'clock, a large number of figures suddenly poured in from outside my house, and the guests retreated to the side in a panic.

I was picked up by my mother and stood in the distance, and I saw with my own eyes a whole bunch of snakes, weasels, and even bigger wild things in front of our house.

At the same time, all the dogs in the village barked, and they howled as if they were doing some ritual.

The guests were confused and frightened by this, and one of the fat men opened his mouth tremblingly; "This ...... What's going on? How do I feel that these animals are seeing off the old man? ”

It's okay not to say this, but other people have also reacted.

"yes, I think so too, did you see those weasels? They actually prostrate on the ground, as if kneeling to worship the old man's coffin. ”

"This ...... Oh my God, it's incredible, and I wouldn't have believed it had happened if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. ”

"Look, what they're doing!"

An exclamation of surprise caused everyone around to look over.

I saw that those animals seemed to have discussed it, and they didn't look at any of us, but walked directly to Grandpa's mourning hall and knelt down directly.

It was literally kneeling on the ground, and the hind legs of the animals were like humans, and they knelt on the ground, and even kowtowed three times.

They came and went as fast as they could, and it didn't take long for all the animals to disappear as if they had never been there.

My father sighed and said; "This is a funeral for all souls, proving that your grandfather was a great good man when he was alive, and the hearts of animals are the most pure, so they rushed to the funeral after knowing that your grandfather was gone."

My father touched my head, as if watching me remember something.

I was young at the time, and I didn't know what was going on, except that my grandfather seemed to be leaving.

At this time, a good-looking middle-aged man walked up to my father; "Mr. Chang, the old man's time has come, are we leaving?"

Hearing this, my father nodded and thanked him; "Thank you brothers for sending my father up the mountain, he worked hard all the way."

The man nodded, and then greeted, and several men like him walked out.
