Chapter 5 The Picture Scroll of the Lonely Tomb (Chapter 1)
Since having had that full meal, the family has been moving down peacefully. At least, the daughter-in-law was filial. The grandmother, who had a lot of children, had nothing to say, just said that the work in the family was just for our old woman to do. The daughter-in-law is a face-saving person, and the one who handles big and small things outside is handed over to her. The daughter-in-law also accepted it happily. In this way, the family had a rare gentle atmosphere for several days.
But when my daughter-in-law came back again, she brought back a painting inexplicably. The family thought about it. The walls of the house were so cold that there was no decoration in the room. The thing slightly related to the ink was the painting that my daughter-in-law had just taken back. When her grandmother was excited, she hung it on the most conspicuous back wall of the main hall. She could see the painting as soon as she entered the door, but after hanging it, the old man felt a little strange.
The painting is not a kind of landscape, water, clouds, nor is it a general style of calligraphy, but it is a very strange painting. The old man looked at it for a while and the painting is the mountain in front of the house. The lonely tomb at the foot of the mountain was also painted inside. The old man looked at it and found that it was just a mountain and a lonely tomb, which was so strange!
But the daughter-in-law said that it was just a painting. Besides, the person who painted had no great knowledge. It would be great to draw this. Just look at it. In this way, the old man didn't care about anything, just hang it. However, the old man always thought that drawing an old lonely grave in a painting is not a good sign. Imagine that there is an old lonely grave in the painting hanging in the middle hall of the back wall. Although the old man didn't know anything about ghosts, it was not auspicious.
It’s no big deal to have a daughter-in-law who decides it’s no big deal, so the old man naturally doesn’t even dare to say anything. If he gets angry, he will smash the house to you and then smash it to pieces. The old man silently continues to do farm work and clean up the vegetable field in front, so the family is safe for the time being.
But the next day, the old man did not go to the fields to work early in the morning, but kept looking at the painting in the middle hall. When his daughter-in-law got up, the old man asked cautiously: "Duozima, why did I find something wrong with this painting? I always feel that there is something missing, please take a look."
Unexpectedly, the mother with many children didn't look at it, and then left a sentence and immediately said home: "What's the matter? I'm just a broken painting? I'm going out to work hard!"
At this time, the only thing that could know grandma's worries was Duozi. Seeing that grandma was depressed all day long, Duozi asked, "Grandma, what's wrong with you?"
The old man smiled bitterly, shook his head repeatedly and said, "It's nothing, maybe he's tired for many days and his eyes are blurred."
Dako no longer asked anything, the matter passed by silently.
Early on the morning of the third day, the old man was standing in front of the painting again, and was very close to the painting. She kept looking at it, and looked at it over and over again, until Duozi's mother got up. The old man asked in surprise: "Dozi, this painting is really a bit wrong with our painting. Look at the lonely grave in the painting. The soil on the grave is obviously much less than the previous two days. This..."
Duozi's mother glanced at it and said casually: "It's not like that, it's okay for you to see your eyes, I'm going out to work hard."
"Go..." The old man slowly sat on the wooden bench, said with a dull look on his face, and stared at the painting again, until Duozi shook the old man's arm hard before pulling the old man back to reality.
Of course, the old man said less during this day, and his spirits were not as good as before. It seemed that no matter whether she was at home or in the field, she would look at the door of the house from time to time. Duozi knew that grandma was looking at the painting, the strange painting.
Early in the morning of the fourth day, the old man slapped his daughter-in-law's door in a hurry and shouted repeatedly: "Duozima, come out and take a look!"
After Duozi's mother was still lazy to get up, the old man was already waiting in the main hall anxiously, and hurriedly pointed to the painting in the middle hall and said, "Look, the grave inside... the soil on it is half less, and there is still half left in this grave!"
The daughter-in-law also looked carefully and immediately scolded: "You are dizzy! Why are there half left? That painting is still the same, and that lonely grave is not the lonely grave. You think too much, I'll go out to work hard."
After a hurry, the daughter-in-law turned her head and left, leaving only the old man staring at the painting blankly, refusing to eat, and rarely going out to clean up the vegetable fields. Duozi saw it and wanted to go forward and pull off the painting, but grandma stopped her. Grandma pointed outside quietly, meaning that no matter what was used at home, she would ask her, and this "she" was naturally Duozi's mother.
Duozi said that he was not afraid of his mother, but was afraid that his mother would cause trouble for his grandmother, so he followed his grandmother in everything. At this point, the painting was not taken down. Duozi said that he also felt that the grave on the painting was much smaller, and it seemed that the soil on it was loosening day by day.
It was soon the fifth day. Early in the morning, Duozi's grandmother sat in the main hall and sobbed softly. When Duozi saw the painting, she was shocked. The grave on the painting was missing!
The disappearance of the grave does not mean anything, but a black coffin under the grave is exposed. Although only a black coffin corner is exposed, this also makes the old and the young frightened.
After the daughter-in-law got up, she scolded the elderly and the young without saying anything. The old man felt uncomfortable, and Duozi also had something to hide. The two went out to clean up the vegetable fields, and Duozi's mother also went out. The atmosphere at home gradually became extremely serious, making Duozi feel a cold air. He thought his mother became terrible, which was the kind of terrible that she couldn't say. In the past, she used to scold loudly or smash things to vent her anger. But this time, she was obviously very cold to her grandmother, but she acted like she was fine, which made Duozi a little afraid of seeing her mother...
On the sixth day, Duozi was woken up by a scream from his grandmother in the main room. When he got up, he saw that his grandmother was already unconscious in the main room. Duozi looked at the painting quickly. Strangely, the painting actually looked like when his mother just took it back. It was still a tall mountain. At the foot of the mountain was an old lonely grave, which was just sitting there, but... But why was grandma so scared to death?
It was not until my mother left the words "Immortal" and then walked out of the house that many children tried their best to wake up grandma. The first thing grandma did to open her eyes slightly was to look at the painting!
