Chapter 11: The Old Cow
When the monkey returned home, Grandma was still lying on the bed, washing her face with tears, and her cloudy eyes could not see a little anger.
The monkey pulled a mat and placed Grandpa's body properly, especially the broken leg, and carefully spliced it on.
Grandma heard the movement and struggled to get up from the bed: "Monkey, monkey, are you back?"
"Squeak, squeak......" The monkey hurriedly helped.
"Monkey, tell me, what's wrong with the old man?" Grandma grabbed the monkey like a life-saving straw.
"Squeak......" The monkey scratched the hair on his face anxiously, as a monkey, he could not speak in front of humans, he pointed with his fingers, and Grandma was blind and could not see. A fire rose in the monkey's heart, why can't animals speak, why are animals monsters when they speak?
"Monkey, it's okay, there are no outsiders here, you just tell Grandma directly. Grandma sobbed: "Grandma knows, she has known for a long time, you and the old cow in the family can speak." ”
The monkey was stunned for a moment, a little overwhelmed.
Grandma said: "Grandpa and Grandma are old, and they are easy to sleep at night, and sometimes they hear some of you talking to Lao Niu. ”
Grandma chattered intermittently, telling the story of Grandpa's family and Lao Niu.
Grandpa's surname is Cheng, and the Cheng family moves every few decades, and after more than ten generations, they have never taken root in any place. It's not that I don't want to, but I don't dare. Because the Cheng family has a cow, it has been with the Cheng family for more than ten generations, never old or dead, and has lived for five or six hundred years. If someone else knew about it, it would definitely be said to be a youkai. But the Cheng family itself knows that Lao Niu is not a monster at all, but the patron saint of the Cheng family.
Therefore, when Grandpa and Grandma overheard the monkey and the old cow talking, they were already mentally prepared.
"Grandma......"
At this moment, the old cow outside opened the window, and the head of the cow reached into the room.
"You're the sacred cow of the family. Grandma said excitedly.
"What kind of sacred cow? It's just an old cow. Lao Niu laughed at himself: "With the way of Lao Niu, you can only protect a person from disease and not get close to the ghost." The old cow protected Grandpa, but he couldn't take care of you, making you suffer. ”
Grandma has been tormented by illness for many years and is blind, which is a heart disease of Lao Niu.
"Don't talk about this, tell Grandma quickly, what's wrong with the old man?" Grandma's old tears fell again.
Both the monkey and the old cow bowed their heads.
"Speak quickly. Grandma pleaded in despair.
"Grandma, don't be too sad. The monkey helped Grandma to Grandpa's body, and seemed to feel Grandpa's breath, Grandma's body trembled, and in an instant, her body was covered with a layer of death, she squatted down tremblingly, hesitantly reached out, and stroked Grandpa's body.
Cloudy eyes, silent tears, and suddenly laughed stupidly.
The monkey said sadly: "Grandma, I went to the sea with Lao Niu, and although I fished back Grandpa's body, the skin and flesh on Grandpa's body were still eaten by sea fish. ”
The monkey didn't say a word, and he almost lost his life.
"Monkey, it's already a miracle to be able to get it back, what is there to be dissatisfied with. Grandma's face suddenly had a layer of brilliance.
As soon as the monkey play was happy, Grandma's complexion suddenly improved a lot.
Said cautiously: "Grandma, you accompany Grandpa in the end, Lao Niu and I will go to find a place to dig a grave first, so that Grandpa can be buried in the ground." ”
"No, monkey, let's dig again. Grandma grabbed Grandpa's hand: "Dig a bigger one." ”
The monkey didn't think much about it and nodded: "Okay." ”
The old cow moved his head out of the window and shook his head, the monkey didn't know, Grandma was back to the light.
Grandma insisted on carrying Grandpa to the bed, holding Grandpa's hand, and lying down together.
Although he couldn't see it, his eyes kept staring at Grandpa.
I'm afraid that Grandpa will disappear alone again.
On the second day, the monkey boiled the porridge early, brought it to the grandmother's room, and after calling several times and not seeing any movement from the grandmother, he found that the grandmother was no longer breathing and her body was cold.
"Bang Dang"
The monkey froze in place, the bowl shattered, and the porridge was scattered all over the floor.
"At least, Grandma left peacefully, without pain. ”
Outside the house, the voice of the old cow was heard.
"You already knew?" said the monkey.
"A person who is bent on death, Hades can't stop him. "Old Niu said.
"Old man, old man......"
Suddenly there was a call outside, from far and near.
"Old man, go to my house to exorcise evil spirits. Yang fat, panting, burst into the house.
The monkey bared its teeth fiercely at Yang Fatzi, indicating that he was not welcome.
Yang Fatzi subconsciously took a step back, he was tossed by the monkey for a month, and he had some shadows on the monkey in his heart, but when he thought of the things at home, he stepped forward in a daze: "Monkey, I'm not here to make trouble, I'm here to find the old man to help exorcise evil spirits this time." ”
The day before yesterday, when Yang Fatzi was wandering around the village, he rescued an injured and unconscious woman under a hillside. After moving her home, the woman remained unconscious, constantly opening her teeth and dancing her claws, and talking nonsense: "Monsters, ghosts, rat spirits, snake spirits, squirrel spirits, butterfly spirits, ......" Also, her body will glow red for a while, and black light will shine for a while. frightened Yang Fatzi, and pondered in his heart that most of the women had run into evil spirits and encountered unclean things.
So, I wanted to find someone to help exorcise evil spirits.
And there happens to be someone in the village who can help. A few years ago, there was a little girl in the village who had a high fever for no reason, and kept talking nonsense, and in the voice of an old woman who had just died in the village, she scolded her children for how unfilial, and many of the contents of the scolding were unknown to outsiders, and finally confirmed from the mouth of the child that it was all true. The villagers were sure that the little girl was possessed by a demon. The girl kept rolling her eyes, foaming at the mouth, and her body trembled. The villagers were terrified and had nothing to do. In the end, it was Mr. Cheng who came forward and held the little girl in his arms, and the little girl immediately quieted down, and it was fine the next day.
"Ahh
When I saw the grandfather lying on the bed, the flesh and blood were blurred, and the grandmother who had already appeared corpse spots, he suddenly collapsed on the ground and crawled out crying and crying.
ran a long way before he relieved himself and scolded "bad luck" vigorously.
Suddenly, his eyes rolled, and he tiptoed back to the courtyard of Cheng's house. staring at the old cow standing in the yard with bright eyes, he said overjoyed: "The old man and the old woman are dead, and you are now ownerless." Come with me. ”
Yang Fat Man reached out to the morning glory rope, but the old cow suddenly "mooed", squirted out a heavy snort, and put the horns on Yang Fatty's buttocks.
"Oh......" Yang Fat Man screamed heartbreakingly, covered his buttocks, closed his legs, and fled.
