Chapter 2 Return to the village to mourn
More than ten years later, I went to university in another province, and I left the village according to my cousin's words, and he told me to wear an amulet and leave the village, and that thing would never find me again.
I never went back to the village, and no strange things happened around me.
It was midnight when I was woken up by the ringing of my phone. It was a call from my grandmother.
"Grandma?" I connected my phone, and my grandmother's voice was very urgent.
"A-Ning, don't come back!"
"Grandma, what's going on at home?" I'm a little worried.
"A-Ning, don't come back!" Grandma said this again, and I was about to ask, but the other end hung up.
I had a bad feeling that my grandmother was so weird, and her words before and after were exactly the same tone, the same tone, as if they were being replayed.
I immediately dialed back, but a new call came in, and when I answered, another woman's voice rang on the other end of the line.
"Yes, is it Jing Ning?"
This voice is her!
"I'm your mother, your grandmother had an accident, she, she died yesterday!"
I was stunned for a moment, then yelled.
"You talk nonsense! I just got a call from my grandmother. ”
I didn't expect her to curse her own mother viciously.
"Your grandmother is really...... He's dead! I'm not going to lie to you about this. There was a kind of panic in my mother's voice.
I put down the phone and wanted to call my grandmother to confirm, but there was no call from my grandmother in the column where the call had been answered.
No, my grandmother called me just now, how could I not?
We suddenly realized something, and the hands holding the phone were shaking.
My heart went up and down, no matter what happened to my grandmother, I had to go back to be completely at ease.
As soon as dawn came, I took the first train home. The journey of hundreds of kilometers makes me feel like an arrow.
When I stood in front of my hometown, I turned around a thousand times, but I didn't dare to push the door open.
It took me a long time before I tried to push the door open with a trembling hand, when someone stopped me behind me.
"Are you Sister Aning?" I quickly turned to look at the little boy and nodded.
"Go to the ancestral hall, your grandmother is there!"
I ran towards it without stopping, and when I came to the ancestral hall, I saw almost the whole village gathered there. I squeezed through the crowd and squeezed in.
I saw a woman kneeling in front of a black lacquered coffin, burning paper. Her body was covered with black air, as if she was entangled in something.
"It's Aning back!" Some villagers recognized me with sharp eyes.
The woman heard the movement and immediately turned her head.
It's my mom, she's a lot older, but my impression of her is only the way she looked when she left me behind.
"A-Ning, A-Ning, you're really back!" She wiped the tears from her face and tried to hug me, but I turned away and stayed away from her.
"This child's life is really bitter, he was sacrificed to the King of Jinglong by his biological mother since he was a child." After Grandma Zhang next door saw me, she sighed with the people around her.
"I heard that she is a lone star, doesn't this also kill her grandmother who is good to her? So many villagers were killed back then. Aunt Li, who has high cheekbones, said.
"Bah, so many solitary stars, all listen to the old liar. Then your man died, and you also killed him? ”
Aunt Li glanced at Grandma Zhang unhappily.
I glared at Aunt Zhang, who saw the coldness in my eyes and shut her mouth in disdain.
From the moment my mom pushed me down the well, she and I became strangers, and she wasn't my mom anymore. She was stunned, I didn't care, I ran straight over, and tried to open the coffin lid with all my strength.
"Aning, don't!" My mom came to stop me, and with a hint of panic in her eyes, I raised my head and glared at her.
"I want to see my grandmother, I don't believe she's dead!" I yelled at her.
"A-Ning, when you open the coffin, you have to be mentally prepared." My mother's hand was down, and it didn't mean to stop me.
I looked at her, hesitated for a moment, but I decided to see who was lying in the coffin.
When the coffin lid made a low sound, the heavy lid was finally opened by me. By the light, I looked in.
"Ahh Rao was mentally prepared, but I was still scared and weak, and my mother held me, and she seemed to know that I would do this.
There was not a single piece of flesh on my grandmother's face, it was all wounds cut by a knife, and in some places there were bare bones.
"What the hell is going on?"
I roared, my body trembling, I couldn't believe that my loving grandmother had died so tragically.
Although my grandmother was not rich, she never disliked me. After rescuing me, give me all the good food and drink at home. She didn't let me be wronged, and if other children had, my grandmother would give it to me.
I still remember my grandmother giving me cold watermelons in the courtyard in the summer and showing me the stars in the sky.
I haven't had time to repay my grandmother, and my grandmother died so inexplicably, I'm really unfilial!
"When I came to see your grandmother, I saw snakes everywhere in the yard, and many of my neighbors saw it! When I came into the house, I saw your grandmother there, ...... Nibble on the meat on your arm! ”
Snake!
It reminds me of that scene more than a decade ago.
Did he kill my grandmother? Just to force me back?
