Chapter 3: You're Dead
A pair of upside-down triangular eyes, drooping eyelids, a face full of wrinkles, black lips, and hands hidden under a wide robe made of hundred cloths.
When I was a child, I was even scared to cry by the appearance of the horse goddess.
"Granny Ma."
"Boy, polite."
Granny Ma nodded slightly, her deep gaze circled around me, and her face changed suddenly.
"He's already coming for you? How did he find you? No, no, no...... It shouldn't be......"
Ma Shenpo shook her head again and again, took a few steps back, her eyes full of disbelief.
The little uncle hurriedly asked, "Sister Ma, what did you say?!" ”
Ma Shenpo turned a deaf ear, walked a few steps quickly to me, and grabbed the placket of my chest!
"Su Jing ......"
My uncle's eyes when he looked at me also changed, and he was full of strange colors.
"Your chest ......"
I looked down, only to see a paw print the size of a dark blue bottle cap on my chest at some point!
It's like a cat or something like that!
I couldn't help but think of the beast-faced old man I dreamed of last night.
Ma Shenma's eyes were firmly fixed on me, "Su family boy, did you touch something last night?" ”
"How do you know?!" I blurted out a recount of what happened last night.
Ma Shenpo's sleeve robe moved slightly, and a hand like dead wood stretched out from it and quickly calculated, and in the next second, two lines of blood and tears suddenly pumped out of her eyes.
I was taken aback and hurriedly called her, but I saw that Ma Shenpo wiped her face indifferently and knelt down with a 'poof'!
My uncle and I looked at her in amazement, and it took three times for Ma Shenpo to get up from the ground and say in a deep voice: "It's over, Su Jing, it's dead." ”
The little uncle looked up at Mrs. Ma deeply, and there was a cry in his voice, "Sister Ma, the Su family in East China only has such a bloodline as Su Jing!" You can spare my grandson's life, and I will definitely do anything for you in the future. ”
"What can you do?"
Ma Shenpo looked at the little uncle and shook her head, her eyes looked behind me, and the direction where my grandmother put the coffin.
"The old sister said that she was going to be buried in a coffin?"
My uncle and I nodded busily.
Who knew that Ma Shenpo shook her head with disapproval on her face, "Buried in a coffin, head down and feet up, the deceased will not be able to live without turning a blind eye!" The old sister could actually come up with such a trick......"
What's the trick?
This is what my grandma requested?
I looked at Ma Shenpo suspiciously, she didn't explain too much, just said that grandma offended a powerful big man when she was alive, although grandma is also quite a means, but as she gets older, she can't withstand birth, old age, sickness and death, and that big man just picked such a time to do it.
However, he didn't arrive himself, but found some people who had an enmity with his grandmother before his life to come over and release a cold arrow when he caught the opportunity.
Although grandma has been on guard all these years, she is still old after all, and she folded in the middle of the year.
"The dignified East China Su family finally fell into this situation......
I never knew that my god-like grandmother had such a story, I always thought that he was just an ordinary old woman, at most some country tricks that no one else wouldn't.
I asked Mrs. Ma what kind of work my grandmother took before the Midyear Festival.
"It's all fate......" Ma Shenpo waved her hand again and again, diverting the topic, "Su Xiong, Su Jing, although the old sister is dead, I am afraid that the big man will not be satisfied, you must let your Su family pay for your life!" Next, your Su family will definitely be found all the time. ”
"Why did he ......" I want to ask Ma Shenpo to understand clearly, all this has happened beyond my understanding over the years!
"Sister Ma, just say it directly, how can you save my eldest grandson's life?" My uncle dragged me, and then looked at her eagerly.
Ma Shenpo pursed her dark green lips, thought for a long time, and said, "There is no way, it's not completely impossible. ”
My little uncle's eyes lit up.
"However, whether you can carry it or not depends on Su Jing's own creation!"
Ma Shenpo asked me to go to the old hunter in the village to borrow a blood-soaked hunting knife, saying that such a hunting knife is murderous and can suppress the demon, and then go to pick up a bucket of black dog blood and deal with him when the demon finds him.
But I had to deal with it myself, because no one knew when the old fairy who killed my grandmother would come.
The little uncle said that since this is the case, let me go back to the city, this mountain is high and the road is far away, and the old fairy will not chase him to the city to kill people, right?
"Being targeted by the old immortal, do you think you can still run away?"
When he said this, my uncle and I were discouraged.
"It's not just that I don't want to help your family's affairs, but people with skills in these ten miles and eight villages won't make a move, if it weren't for the kindness of my old sister before her death......"
Ma Shenma's words didn't continue, but I understood.
The method has been handed over to me, but whether I can save my life or not is up to me.
After saying this, Mrs. Ma explained that we should be buried in the coffin according to what grandma said, but there is one point, we must be buried before the end of tonight.
My uncle and I thanked Mother Ma and were about to send her out, but she waved her hand and stopped us all within the threshold.
"That's it, the old body is gone."
At this time, Ma Shenpo's voice seemed to have suddenly changed into a person, and the sharp and somewhat harsh voice made my heart cold.
Later, I learned that it was not Ma Shenpo who was talking to us that day, but the immortal family on her body.
Seeing the Ma Shenpo leave, the little uncle and I discussed the matter of grandma's burial, and invited the villagers from last night to come back, and when it was dark, the coffin was re-covered, and the group set off towards the back mountain.
Cremation is popular in the city, but our remote mountain village does not even have a crematorium, and the old people in the village still insist on burial, after all, people are buried in the earth after death.
This time the burial was unexpectedly smooth, there were no stumbling blocks along the way, and I was a little relieved in my heart, but the burial method of this coffin made the villagers frown.
But they were more or less aware of what I had happened last night, and they didn't say anything more.
When I think of that thing that I don't know where, my heart can't help but tug again.
What happened between grandma and that big man, Ma Shenpo didn't say anything, but I had a stomach full of questions.
What kind of powerful big man did grandma get revenge on? What kind of hatred and what kind of grudge, why do you want to peel the skin? And what kind of yin work did she receive during the Midyear Festival?
It all haunts me.
I wanted to ask my uncle, but I couldn't pry anything out of his mouth.
"Su Jing, I'll go out at night."
