"Mom, grandpa Xiu Cai is here, I'm going to help him!"
I turned my head and looked at my fourth uncle and grandma and said, I don't understand why she suddenly didn't let me go over to help the scholar. It is clear that my fourth uncle and grandma also respect the scholar very much.
Following my voice, the people who were chatting and waiting for a table suddenly became quiet, and turned to look at me with frightened and fearful eyes as I suddenly jumped off the stool.
"You're dazzled. Come back and don't run around." The fourth uncle and grandma frowned, and her face didn't look good.
My fourth uncle and grandma love me very much and rarely treat me like this.
I feel a little aggrieved.
"I'm not dazzled! That's obviously——"
I held my neck and yelled loudly, turned around and pointed at Grandpa Xiucai, but I was stunned on the spot.
There was no one outside the yard.
I rubbed my eyes and looked over again, but there was still nothing there.
"Mom, I really saw Grandpa Xiucai, he was there just now." I pursed my lips and looked back at my fourth uncle and grandma, "I really didn't say panic."
"Isn't this child really seeing something?"
Someone began to discuss in a low voice, "Yesterday when I was washing clothes by the river, I heard Yan'er saying that her father was dying and that she called Qiangzi and the others to come back."
"Didn't you tell me earlier that this girl was unlucky? She was born with bad luck, so she might not be able to see anything."
"uh-huh!"
The fourth uncle and grandma coughed, and the aunts who were talking in low voices curled their lips and kept silent, and moved their chairs to the side, further away from the fourth uncle and grandma.
"Nanny, come here!" The fourth uncle's grandma's face was a little gloomy, and she stretched out her hand towards me.
I slowly walked back to my fourth uncle and grandma. Just as I was about to open my mouth, my fourth uncle and grandma took my hand and asked: "Nanny, have you forgotten what grandma told you?"
What words?
I was a little confused, so I looked back outside the hospital and saw Grandpa Xiucai.
My nose suddenly felt a little sore, and I remembered that my fourth uncle and grandma told me that if I see someone who no one else has seen, I shouldn't tell others casually.
Because what I saw was not a human being.
"Milk, me"
I looked at my fourth uncle and grandma pleadingly, hoping she would tell me that Grandpa Xiucai was fine.
My fourth uncle and grandma shook their heads gently, held my hand tightly, sighed, and said no more.
"Nai, I want to go home. We don't want to eat anymore. How about we go home?"
"this"
The fourth uncle and grandma looked back at the people around her with some embarrassment. Those people quickly lowered their heads and pretended not to hear, and no one tried to persuade us to stay.
"Okay, let's go home!" My fourth uncle and grandma nodded and led me to stand up.
As soon as I got out of the hospital, I threw away my fourth uncle's and grandma's hands and ran wildly towards the scholar's grandfather's house. I wanted to see him.
I felt very sad, so I ran while crying. I fell a few times on the way, but I didn’t feel any pain, so I got up and continued running.
"Ling'er, you kid, why are you so disgraced? Are you fighting with someone? I'll scold you again later."
I rushed into the courtyard gate of the scholar's grandfather's house. His daughter-in-law Yan'er was hanging clothes by the wall. She shook the wet clothes from her hands, put them on the bamboo pole, looked back at me and asked.
"I didn't fight, Aunt Yan'er, where is Grandpa Xiucai?" I asked with a tearful voice.
"Your father is lying on the kang. He just took a few mouthfuls of noodle soup, so he probably hasn't fallen asleep yet."
"I'm going to see Grandpa Xiucai." As soon as I heard what Aunt Yan'er said, I rushed into the house in a hurry.
"You kid, run slower, don't fall!"
Aunt Yan'er shouted behind me.
He rushed into the back room in one breath and saw a man lying motionless on the bed, wearing black clothes and a pair of shoes.
I just felt that my mind suddenly went blank. I don't know why, but I suddenly stood there and didn't dare to move, staring at the person on the kang.
"Ahem, cough, is that girl Ling'er?"
A familiar voice rang in my ears, with a slight cough and an old and deep voice.
"Grandpa Xiucai, you don't want to die, Ling'er doesn't want you to die!"
Grandpa Xiu Cai's voice made me suddenly feel extremely wronged. I rushed to the kang, looked at Grandpa Xiu Cai's gloomy face and cried loudly.
"Silly boy, how can anyone be immortal? Ahem, ahem, grandpa has reached his end of life and wants to go down there to enjoy his blessings!"
Grandpa Xiucai raised his hand with difficulty to wipe away the tears on my face.
"I heard from your grandma that you have gone to school. When you become literate, you can read storybooks by yourself. You should study hard. Ahem, cough cough. If you are successful in the future, you will be able to be filial to your grandma."
"I don't want to read storybooks by myself, and I don't want Grandpa Xiu Cai to die. When I grow up, I want to be filial to my grandma, and I also want to be filial to Grandpa Xiu Cai."
I was crying like crazy, and I felt that the facial features of Grandpa Xiu Cai in front of me were getting blurry and blurred.
I was extremely scared.
"Girl Ling'er, Grandpa Xiucai has a box here. See if you can open it. Your grandma's skills will definitely be passed on to you in the future. Ahem, cough. When you grow up, you will understand the inside.
It will be something even more powerful than your breasts, Mr. Big."
As he spoke, Grandpa Xiucai excitedly took out a dark red wooden box from under the pillow, which was carved with complicated totems. There was a huge circle in the middle of the lid, which looked like two tadpoles, one black and one white. There was one in the middle of each tadpole's big head.
The small round eyes were like the eyes of tadpoles. When I suddenly looked at them, the two tadpoles seemed to be swimming faintly.
Much later, I learned that the circle formed by the two tadpoles is called Bagua.
"so beautiful!"
I glanced at Grandpa Xiucai, stopped crying, and reached out to touch the box.
"Try to see if you can open it. If you can, this box is yours."
Grandpa Xiucai had a smile in his eyes.
There was a golden dragon-shaped buckle on the box. I touched the buckle. I don’t know why, but suddenly I felt a strong sense of familiarity in my heart. I flicked the two dragon corners with my fingers, and the lid of the box clicked.
"There was a soft sound and it opened.
There are four books stacked in a small box. They are old and yellowed, and the black words on the covers are blurred.
I feel a little disappointed.
"Oh, brother Xiucai, I can't help it. How can you give this to my daughter?"
My fourth uncle and grandma caught up to me at some point. Seeing this, I hurried over and looked excited.
"Why can't I do it? Ahem, I have a destiny with this child. She looks just like my own granddaughter. Even Daqiang and my grandson can't open it. I also want to let Ling'er girl try it. It's God's will!"
When Grandpa Xiucai said this, he coughed violently. His fourth uncle and grandma stepped forward and patted his back gently to calm his breathing.
"Now that my day has come, I have a successor. It's a pity that I don't have time to teach her personally. But this girl is born with this material, and she can understand it on her own."
"But I always think that I'd better let her not go into this business in the future. This child can make her suffer as little as possible since she was a child."
The fourth uncle and grandma said hesitantly.
I couldn't understand what they were saying. Grandpa Xiu Cai's words about "the day has come" seemed to stimulate me again. I pushed the box aside, held his hand and cried desperately.
"It's a bit hard, but it's hard to go against destiny. Ahem, now that she's down, she can't escape what she has to do."
"This is the truth, but after all, I, alas, let's wait until the time comes!"
The fourth uncle and grandma sighed heavily, looked at me and said: "Nanny, hurry up and kowtow to your scholar grandpa!"
I looked at my fourth uncle and grandma and said with sobs, "If I kowtow to Grandpa Xiu Cai, will Grandpa Xiu Cai not die?"
"You silly boy, Grandpa Xiucai left you such a valuable thing and waited for you. You are not allowed to kowtow to him?"
"If I don't kowtow, I won't kowtow to Grandpa Xiu Cai!"
I suddenly became stubborn. I kowtow to the dead, but Grandpa Xiu Cai is not dead. What if I kowtow and Grandpa Xiu Cai dies? This chapter has been completed!
