Since ancient times, heroes have been born in troubled times, and of course, these are not the only ones who have taken advantage of the chaos, but there are also many demons and monsters hiding in the crowd. Some of them show people in human faces, and some of them directly appear in the world in real life, demagogic and disruptive order.

Since I was a child, I have only seen my grandfather, and I don't know anything about my grandmother, and my mother and uncles never mention it, as if there has never been a grandmother. It wasn't until after my grandfather's death that I went home to help with the relocation of the grave, that I learned about my grandmother's story and her short and bizarre ending.

Grandpa and Grandma got married in the fifties of the last century, and had six children, four sons and two daughters.

At that time, the secretary of the rural commune and the captain of the production team were all well-known people in the village, and they were also popular, and they could really do practical things for the village. Grandpa's family is relatively large, to put it bluntly, there are many brothers and sisters, and his influence is naturally high.

In this regard, my grandmother strongly objected, because after becoming the captain of the production team, she could not take care of the family, and the six children in the family usually had to watch alone when they ate and drank. When grandpa leaves, grandma herself is left at home, and she will definitely not be busy, so the two often quarrel.

Noisy and noisy, life still needs to go on, grandma and grandpa are less than thirty at this time, young and healthy, although they have more work, but they can still cope with it. In this way, grandpa has been working outside for longer and longer, and he has taken the lead in doing all the big and small work outside the village, and everything is rushed first, grandma saw that grandpa dragged his tired body home every day, and there was a lot less complaining on his mouth, but his heart was not happy.

There is a common feature in China's rural areas, or the requirement of the ancients for the living environment, that is, there must be one or more rivers around each village, which is the so-called living by the water. Of course, my grandfather's village is no exception, and there is a river directly west of the village, which is said to have been used for flood distribution upstream a long time ago.

Where there is water, there are naturally many plants and animals, and there are patches of forests on both sides of the river, and the natural environment at that time is good, although there are no large animals, but there are still some small animals. In the turbulent era, people died like lights out, and there were not as many living people as there were dead, that is, this sparse yin qi breeds a lot of spirits.

Once, the village received an order to dig a river to expand the original river for flood distribution, which was a major project at that time, and each village had a corresponding section of the river. After taking over the task, my grandfather organized the young and strong laborers in the village to dig the corresponding section of the river, leaving early and returning late every day, and spending less time at home.

In addition to cooking for a family of eight every day, Grandma also has to wash clothes, feed chickens and rabbits, and take care of the two youngest children. The overwork made my grandmother learn to drink to relieve stress, but she didn't drink too much every time, because there were still a few children who needed to be taken care of.

One night, Grandpa came back early, the children at home were very happy, Grandma also made a table of delicious food, everyone was full of wine and food, and the children went to bed satisfied. Grandma and grandpa cleaned up the dinner table, grandma drank a little too much tonight, and couldn't help but complain to grandpa, trying to persuade grandpa to take care of the family more, but if it doesn't work, I won't do this production captain.

These words just stimulated grandpa, he was in the mood at this time, and he couldn't listen to this kind of words, so he retorted a few words to grandma, and the two quarreled again. A few older children lying on the bed also heard clearly, but there was no other way but to continue to sleep silently, and after a period of noise, Grandpa went out alone, leaving only Grandma sobbing quietly in the house.

The next day, Grandpa went out very early, and after Grandma cooked food for the children, she took two pots of boiling water to send to Grandpa, who was digging the river, and drank two sips of wine before leaving. It was originally a very normal thing, and it will become the last turning point in grandma's life.

Grandma set off very early, the sky was still bright, and there was not a single pedestrian on the road. The distance from home to the place where my grandfather dug the river is not close, and it takes more than half an hour to walk, and I have to pass through several forests in the middle. Grandma was still a little depressed in her heart, and after drinking some wine, she felt a little dizzy, but Grandma, who had a good amount of alcohol, didn't care about this reaction at all.

Grandma's feet were very fast, and she was halfway through in a short time, and at this time she happened to be in the depths of the forest, and the big trees and tall grass on both sides of the path were shadowy, as if there were many eyes quietly peeping in them.

As she walked, there were suddenly a few old lady "oops" humming sounds in her ears, and at first grandma thought she had heard it wrong, but she didn't care, and just went her own way. Until the sound became louder and louder, the grandmother, who had repeatedly confirmed that she had heard correctly, stopped and began to follow the sound to find the source.

Soon the grandmother found that the sound came from the ditch on the side of the road, she put her burden on the side of the road, got up and walked to the side of the road to look into the ditch, and saw a little old lady in green clothes and green pants curled up in the ditch. The old lady was like a lying animal, and from time to time her mouth made a humming sound of "oops, oops", and grandma immediately asked out loud when she saw this.

"You're falling, aren't you?"

When the little old lady heard someone speak, her ears moved, and she turned her head to look at her grandmother, her eyes first swept around, and then she said in a hoarse voice.

"Hey, I wanted to go to the field in the morning, but when I passed by, I accidentally fell, come and help me, young man."

Grandma was a warm-hearted person, and she didn't hesitate when she heard this, so she walked into the ditch in three steps and two steps, and came to the little old lady's side. But when she came closer, the grandmother began to mumble in her heart, because she saw that the little old lady was faceless, not like a person from the village, and that the little old lady looked a little strange, a bit like a rhubarb mouse.

"Elderly, where did you fall? Can you still walk? ”

Although Grandma had doubts in her heart, she was still concerned about the physical condition of the little old lady, and the little old lady saw that the person had come closer, her eyes rolled, and then she said.

"I guess my foot is broken, I can't walk, you see if you can send me home, I will be grateful when I go back."

Grandma saw that the little old lady was indeed seriously injured, so she didn't ask any more, so she opened her mouth and said.

"This is a trivial matter, they are all neighbors in the township, I will carry you on your back."

After that, grandma squatted down with her back, and the little old lady did not hesitate, she said thank you in her mouth, and got up with her hands on the ground and turned over to grandma's back, and her movements were not like an injured old man at all.

Grandma, who was carrying the little old lady on her back, set foot on the way to send her home according to the instructions of the person on her back, and walked like this for ten minutes, and grandma did not see a house in front of her. She became more and more uneasy in her heart, the little old lady on her back had not squeaked for a long time, and only the weight of her body still indicated that she was still carrying someone on her back at this time.

"How far is this to your house? I've got to get some water. ”

Grandma stopped and asked again, and after waiting for a while, she felt the little old lady on her back put her face to her ear, first blew softly, and then a very hoarse and unpleasant voice came.

"Young man, don't worry, it's here, don't believe it, look up!"

Grandma's brain seemed to be suddenly shocked, and she felt that her eyes were black, and then when she opened her eyes again, a large mansion appeared in front of her, with a high door and thick walls and a pair of stone lions at the door, all indicating the master's status and power. Grandma was stunned for a while, and froze in place, when the voice of the little old lady came to her ears again.

"Let's go, we're here."

These words seemed to have a magical force, so that grandma walked towards the house uncontrollably, she walked towards the door of the house step by step, and the door slowly opened on both sides, but there was no one to see. Grandma, who was slowly walking towards the door, didn't notice at this time that the little old lady on her back had jumped off her back at some point, stood in place, showed a weird smile, and quietly looked at Grandma who was walking towards the mansion step by step.

The first to find that grandma was missing was my mother, and when she saw that grandma had not returned home when she sent water, she looked for it along the road, and on the road she saw the water that grandma carried when she went out in the morning. My mother was still young at the time, but the anxiety still made her panic, and she quickly ran to the place where her grandfather was working and told her about her disappearance.

Hearing that grandma was missing, grandpa hurriedly put down the work in his hand and led people to search along the road, until he found it at night, and found grandma in a forest five kilometers away. When I found it, my grandmother's mind was already a little unclear, and she was still talking nonsense, and her grandfather didn't respond to how she called her, so she had no choice but to take it home first.

After returning home, my grandmother suddenly woke up again, and then told my family what happened to her, and just when everyone thought it was okay, my grandmother began to be confused again. Seeing this, grandpa hurriedly took grandma to the doctor, but when he arrived at the hospital, there was no effective treatment, so grandpa brought grandma back again.

Grandma fell ill, the people around said that it was crazy, grandpa took grandma to see a lot of doctors and did not get better, plus grandma herself said when she was sober, over time, the people in the village said that Huang Laoxian was possessed, and he had to ask a master to cure him.

More than a month has passed, grandma has less and less time to be sober, and it is a coincidence that this day there happened to be an old Chinese medicine doctor in the village, who said that he was an old Chinese medicine doctor, which was more like a magic stick, and it was said that this person also knew how to exorcise evil spirits and drive away ghosts. Grandpa seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and hurriedly took grandma to the old Chinese medicine doctor to see, the old Chinese medicine doctor only glanced at it and said that there was a way to save it, and took medicine for grandpa, and explained that it would be fine in half a month.

After returning home, grandpa was very happy, and this emotion seemed to drive grandma, she seemed to be a little sober, and looked at grandpa who was boiling medicine with a smile. When the medicine was boiled, Grandpa served a bowl to Grandma sitting in the courtyard, and Grandma drank the medicine in the bowl while chattering about the unfinished work.

Before the medicine was finished, grandpa suddenly noticed that something was wrong, grandma buried her head in the bowl for a long time and did not move, grandpa hurriedly stepped forward to check carefully, only to find that grandma was no longer breathing.

Grandma left so hastily, ending her short life, and when Grandpa went to find the old Chinese medicine doctor again, he couldn't find anyone, as if he had never appeared.
