Chapter 4: The Living (1)

Wanderer? Isn't that the name on the tombstone where my grandfather told me to kowtow?

My hands trembled, and the oil in the kerosene lamp was tumbling to escape from the lamp, and I stood there at a loss.

He looked me up and down and sat down at the table, "Sit." ”

I placed the kerosene lamp on the table, and I poked my head out to see if there was a shadow behind him.

The childish gesture provoked him to chuckle, "Don't be afraid. ”

Don't be afraid? How can this keep me from being afraid? Although his face added a lot of points to my heart, wearing an off-white robe, there was a clean piece behind me, which made me tremble and tremble.

"Did you see that?"

"What?" It's a question that confuses me.

"The door."

As soon as the words came out, I didn't tremble, "That door is really leading to the Hades Palace?" ”

"That's right, there are many names, but there are not many people who can really see it with the naked eye, maybe it has something to do with your gender, the craft we passed down, I didn't expect it to reach the hands of your little girl."

After saying this, he stood up and startled me.

He went straight to the locked doorway, took out the lock, opened the door, went in the dark, and then took a pen and a book, walked out, and handed it to me.

"Since you can see the door, then you can use these two things later."

It seems that he is the real owner of this thatched house.

"The Encyclopedia of Engraved Monuments? What is this pen for? ”

"Good question." He praised and continued to explain to me, "Although you have carved the stele, you have not completed the last thing, that is, the writing, what should be given to you has been given to you, you can study it yourself, the time is not early, I am also leaving, take care, there will be a period later." ”

Before I could recover my senses, You Sheng went out and melted into the night.

The flashlight was moved from the "Encyclopedia of Engraved Monuments" to the door, and it was pitch black, and it was terrible to watch.

I hurriedly stepped forward and closed the door.

The next day, I was woken up by my father's knock on the door.

Seeing that I was safe and sound, my father was also relieved.

"What's going on? Why haven't you woken up until now? It's a shame that your mother didn't sleep all night. ”

"I read a book last night." I rubbed my eyes, picked up the food my dad had brought me, and pointed to the table, only to find that the book was missing!

"What book? Are you dreaming? Yes, I've been learning all my dreams. ”

"No, what about the books here?" Putting down the bowl, I found the kang in the room from under the table, and I didn't even let go of the corner, and I didn't see the shadow of a page of "The Complete Book of Engraved Monuments".

Only the brush that the wanderer gave me was still hanging on the wall, reminding me that last night was not my imagination.

"The Encyclopedia of Engraved Monuments" was also recorded in my mind word for word.

"Hurry up and eat, what are you looking for? You've been digging through the bigger places. ”

I finished my meal without a sound, picked up the hoe by the door and began to dig a hole for myself, to be precise, a grave for myself.

This is my final resting place, and I need to dig it up a little bit.

"Girl, I didn't say it, I've never seen you so obedient, what do you think, tell your father?"

My dad stood and watched me dig a hole and accosted me.

Also, since I was a child, I couldn't sit still like a monkey, and occasionally I was well-behaved and had a good impression in front of my relatives, and I didn't even wash my own socks at home, but this time I was able to stay in this broken grass house for one night.

"What's the matter, if I don't come, I will watch my second aunt look for death and life at home every day, and watch my second aunt eat in prison? And then wait for the second cousin to come to my house and sneer? Make the house lively and make people watch jokes? "Swinging the hammer, I'm tired and out of breath," my cousin is also right, I study, what can I read in vocational high school? After learning my grandfather's craft, I will make a lot of money in the future, and when I make a lot of money, I will take you and my mother to the big city to enjoy happiness! ”

"Yo! It's still blessed, when I leave in the morning, your mother can make trouble at home. ”

"What's the fuss? It's a foregone conclusion, and it's useless to make trouble. I muttered, symbolically digging two more times, and putting the hoe back, "Go!" Go home and see my mom. ”

"Okay, I've long been worried that you're alone on this mountain."

followed my father down the mountain, returned home, and was blocked by the second aunt at the door, "Xingxing, what's wrong?" How did you get back? Is there something missing in the mountains? What are you missing, tell your father, and the second aunt will send it up. ”

"It's okay, it's not lacking, I'm just back."

The second aunt obviously didn't know that I would go down the mountain, so she stayed here to block my father from asking me about the news on the mountain?

"Huh? Just back? Didn't your grandfather say he would stay for three days? Hearing my words, the second aunt immediately shouted.

It just so happened that everyone had lunch, and the second aunt shouted like this, and when I went to the hall, I saw a family sitting neatly, as if they were waiting for me.

"Stars, what's going on? You came down before you arrived in these three days? ”

Sure enough, my grandfather asked.

"I said you dead girl! I said don't go, don't go, it's okay to come back. "My mom is the happiest.

"I haven't arrived in the past three days, so don't you have to go up the mountain again?" The second aunt followed me and muttered quietly.

It's a whisper, and anyone can hear it.

"What? Back up the hill? Second sister, why don't you go to the mountains to have a look? Is the land inhabited? A whole grave! My mother rushed at me again, "If you don't come back now, I'll have to go up the mountain and pull you back after dinner!" ”

"That's it! What a noise! Ahem......."

"Dad, are you alright?" The second aunt hurriedly stepped forward and patted her grandfather on the back.

"I said Chen Xing, do you regret it! It's not that we don't understand if a person is scared in the mountains. "Second cousin, no, Liu Shuang began to pretend to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

"Who says I regret it?" I sat down on the table, digging the pit just now was too hard, and the bowl of rice on the mountain was not hungry, "Don't I have to go down the mountain when I learn the craft?" ”

"What? Ahem, you, have you learned? Grandpa stood up in surprise.

Everyone else was silent, silent.

"Learned? Just one night, you liar! Yan Shuang stood there and questioned me, "It's not like I haven't been before, that hammer is so heavy, it's hard to pick up, you tell me, how did you learn?" I'm afraid I don't just carve it twice and think I can do it! ”

"Is the hammer heavy?" I looked at my grandfather, "Grandpa, didn't you tell them when you came back?" ”

"Nope." Grandpa shook his head, "I'm going to wait for you to come back from the mountain in three days." ”

"That's fine." Nodding, I stood up, "Since you didn't say it, I'll say it in person, inheritance, I, Chen Xing, accepted it, and inherited it from the sixth generation of the inscription person, and inherited it from Yousheng." ”
