Chapter 8: Extreme Yin
Grandpa's words made me ponder, besides, how can I meet so many people who have died in one place all the time, which means that I have to leave here and go to the big city to live alone.
In this way, not only did I leave my grandfather's umbrella, but maybe I would encounter Uncle Ye's resentment in the future, can I really solve it alone at that time?
But after thinking about it, I decided to give it a try.
In the face of my answer, Grandpa behaved calmly, he said, "A person can't be confined to one place forever, you should also go to the outside world to see when you grow up, listen to the boy." ”
"If you want to get rid of the murderous life, the premise is that you must let yourself fall into the quagmire, which means that you will be entangled by the underworld all the time, whether you live or die depends on your own creation, if you want to cross a hundred unjust souls faster, there is only one place."
"Where?"
"The Land of the Extreme Yin."
I thought I had misheard, and hurriedly asked what the land of extreme yin meant, and my mind unconsciously felt like a mass grave in the mountains.
"What, scared?"
It turns out that Grandpa's agitation method does work, but I still don't understand what he means, after all, the place I imagined was full of dead people, and I was accompanied by darkness all year round, so what was the point of letting me go here?
Grandpa seemed to see something from my expression, and said angrily, "Who told you to go to the graveyard, you kid is stupid, only the Extreme Yin Land can suppress it before you completely get rid of the murderous life, and only more Yin Qi can ensure that you will not bring evil luck to others, understand?" ”
Only then did I understand what my grandfather meant, and he continued, "If you decide to go, I have a place, which is at No. 444 Donghu Road, Jingyang City. ”
Grandpa handed me a string of Buddhist beads with tiny Sanskrit engraved on them, and I took them and asked, "What is this?" It's pretty to look at. ”
"Don't mention the past, anyway, he will know who you are when he sees the Buddha beads."
I was about to ask where No. 444 was, but my grandfather interrupted me directly, "By the way, there is another thing, about the child named He Chenyang." ”
Grandpa said while rolling tobacco leaves, "I've seen it, this kid is born with reflexes, you try to contact as little as possible, his facial features are upright, but the roots of the mountain collapsed, although the family is rich, but unfortunately there is a catastrophe in life, it won't be long before he encounters an incident, if it is serious, it may cost his life or even the family is ruined, and then you have to help him." ”
Hearing that I had to help He Chenyang survive the catastrophe, I was suddenly reluctant in my heart.
"Why, grandpa, let me help him with his virtue? Just kidding. ”
I thought that my grandfather would be angry, but I didn't expect him to answer only one sentence, and the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
Thinking about it all day, except for He Chenyang's matter, I still decided to go to the place my grandfather said, anyway, he wouldn't harm me.
The morning three days later, it was also the day I left this small village, including He Chenyang's goods, I originally planned to go with Uncle Ye, but I thought that they would have to sacrifice the grave in the future.
There is a custom after the death of our locals, that is, to light an ever-bright lamp by the grave, and ensure that it cannot be extinguished during the period, so this requires Uncle Ye to go to the grave to check at all times.
After the lantern was extinguished, he found a place to burn the clothes that Uncle Ye wore before his death to ensure that he would not be frozen underneath.
Before leaving, Uncle Ye took Ye Jingshu to see me off.
Grandpa told me to pay attention to safety outside, and when I had time to call home, I could see tears glistening in his eyes, but I couldn't express it.
"The road in the future is up to you, remember to call me when you get to the place, this home will always be waiting for you to come back, go and don't waste time."
After Grandpa finished speaking, he turned around, I knew that he was wiping his tears, and his heart was very uncomfortable, and he also told him to take care of his body.
"It's not that you can't go, what time is it, it's like parting with life and death, how many adults are still so homesick, can you have a little interest." He Chenyang urged loudly.
"If you're in a hurry, you'll leave, and I'll tear your mouth if you force a sentence of believe it or not!"
I've been unhappy with this product for a long time, especially when he's looking for me every day, if someone wasn't there, I would really slap him.
After an hour's drive, Jingyang City has finally arrived.
As soon as he got out of the car, He Chenyang left me alone and left, anyway, it was none of my business where he went, although everything in front of me was very unfamiliar, but fortunately, I had independent experience and would not starve to death on the street.
According to the address given by my grandfather, I stopped a taxi, and the driver's eldest brother saw that there was a business, and immediately asked me where I was going.
"No. 444 Donghu Road, big brother, do you know this place?"
The driver's eldest brother smiled stiffly, and suddenly became very nervous, "You, why are you going here if you have nothing to do?" Don't go home? ”
I didn't know how to answer his question, so I said in a daze, that it was my house.
The eldest brother was so frightened that he hurriedly said, "Brother, don't make such a joke with me, it's good that it's daylight, if it's a big night, who would dare to pull you." ”
I became more and more puzzled, thinking to myself, isn't it just an address, why is it still talking about day and night?
In the end, the driver's eldest brother still took my order, and he glanced back at me from time to time along the way, as if he was on guard against something.
After a long time, the car finally stopped slowly, I opened my eyes in a daze, and as soon as I got out of the car after paying, the driver's brother performed a catapult start for me, as if I had seen a ghost.
"Is it necessary for me to run so fast?"
Occasionally, a few scum trucks passed by on the deserted street, and what was incomprehensible was that their speed increased significantly as they passed me, as if they were moving away from something.
That's when I found myself standing in front of a factory, and there was a man sitting in the security booth, looking at me with strange eyes.
With full doubts, I walked to the window of the security booth and asked, "Big brother ask for directions, is this No. 444 East Lake?" How is it a factory? ”
"What factory, this is the Xijiang Crematorium, what are you doing?"
Rumble!
I felt like my head had been struck by lightning, and I was frozen in place, "Fire, crematorium?" You're not kidding, aren't you? ”
"The community is a fart, but it's also, this is a community for the dead to live, see for yourself......"
The security guard pointed to the gate and turned his head to see that this was indeed No. 444, and the place where my grandfather asked me to come was here!
The complicated feelings are difficult to express, I never expected that the 444th mentioned by my grandfather would actually be a crematorium.
I always thought it should be some kind of community, after all, a few days ago my grandfather asked me to bring a string of Buddhist beads to the deceased, how can he say that he can't live in this kind of place, could it be that he is referring to the deceased deceased?
