I trembled and opened the red cloth bag. Inside was a small dark black stone, like the small and medium-sized stones that can be picked up casually by the river. It had no regular shape, and even its surface was rough, as if it were covered with water.
Covered with a layer of dust.
The only special thing is that there is a small hole on the top of the stone. You can tell at a glance that the hole is not man-made but natural. If it weren't for that hole, I would have thought that the small stone was made by my uncle and grandma from the river.
Picked up.
However, others were born with a jade in their mouth, but I followed Dong Shi's example and was born with a stone in my mouth, and it was still an ugly black stone.
No wonder my mother doesn't like to see me.
"Mom, my birthday is only one year away. You will be fine. I want you to put it on me personally. If you leave early, I won't want this broken stone!"
I threw the stone aside angrily.
"Oh, silly boy, this thing can protect you, but you can't throw it away! And this is not a stone, this is black jade. It needs to be nourished by your spiritual roots. When you become enlightened, the jade will be nourished."
My fourth uncle and grandma hurriedly picked up the piece of black jade, wiped it carefully and stuffed it back into the red brocade bag, then stuffed it into my hand again.
"Milk, I won't throw it away, so you also promise me that nothing will happen to you, okay? You promise me!"
Looking at the cautious look of my fourth uncle and grandma, I just felt that my nose became more and more sore, and tears rolled down in large pieces.
"I promise you, I promise you, you have an exam soon, study hard!" My fourth uncle and grandma put me in her arms and stroked my hair.
After that day, I ran home as soon as school was over and stared at my fourth uncle and grandma. Her condition was obviously much better, and she no longer coughed violently at night.
I worked harder to review and sprint, hoping to repay my fourth uncle and grandma with the best results.
The results of the high school entrance examination were finally released, and I was admitted to the County No. 1 Middle School with excellent results. My fourth uncle and grandma were in good spirits that day. She cooked several of my favorite dishes in the simple kitchen in the corridor. She would proudly say to everyone she met: "Our family
Nannan is a material for studying and will go to university in the future!"
When I went to bed at night, she kept telling me stories, stories about my childhood, stories about my grandpa Xiucai, and stories about how she followed my fourth uncle's grandfather to slay demons when she was young.
Finally, I felt like my eyelids were stuck with glue and could not open. I vaguely heard my fourth uncle and grandma say: "Nanny, grandma is gone, you have to study hard, and you have to remember, ten
You must wear that piece of black jade on your eighth birthday. I hope you can go to college and suffer less. But no matter whether you take the path of a psychic or not, don't show it to anyone if you are under twenty years old.
matter."
"Nai, you promised to put the black jade on me yourself, but you can't leave now!"
My fourth uncle's grandma's words scared me so much that I sat up from the bed and held her hand without letting go.
"Silly boy, I have been asking for more for many days. I also want to spend more time with you, but there are rules in this matter." The fourth uncle's grandma said with a smile.
"From the day I became Yang Cha, I can no longer look after others. That year, I broke the rules by looking after Mr. Lin's family. The people below just dismissed me from my post and did not investigate the matter. They also asked me to
I have made a lot of money over the past few years by spending so many extra days with you."
I suddenly found that her face looked surprisingly good, even better than before we arrived in the county.
"Mom, then don't make trouble for me now. I'm going to find a summer job during the summer vacation. I can still get a scholarship in high school. We are both rich, so I can let you stay with me for a few more years." I pulled.
Said holding her hand.
"No matter where the milk is, it will always be with you. My child, you must remember that no matter what happens, don't get into trouble. You must learn to let go. Do you understand?"
I was about to nod when I suddenly noticed that my fourth uncle and grandma were wearing the wrong clothes.
She usually wears a gray floral gown, but today she was wearing black clothes. I rubbed my eyes and looked carefully, and I saw that what she was wearing was the five-collar and three-waisted clothes worn by the dead.
I was shocked, pulled her clothes and said, "Nai, why are you wearing this?"
"It's cold down there. I put it on earlier so that I can look decent down there. Girl, you can't cry. If you cry later, your tears will stain your clothes and make you feel cold."
"Nai, don't leave. Take off these clothes. You promised me. You can't keep your word. You promised me."
I was so anxious that I burst into tears and desperately tore at the clothes of my fourth uncle and grandma.
"Dong dong, dong dong dong" came a rapid knock on the door. I was a little dazed for a moment, sobbed and opened my eyes, only to realize that I was dreaming.
I quickly jumped out of bed and opened the door. My dad stood at the door, stretched his neck, looked inside, and asked: "Ling'er, where is your milk?"
"My breast? My breast is still asleep!"
My dad nodded and shouted into the room: "Fourth aunt? Fourth aunt?"
There was no movement in the room, and I suddenly felt a little panicked. Thinking of the dream, I turned around and ran to the back room.
My dad was faster than me and walked in front of me in a few steps and entered the back room.
"Fourth aunt——"
As soon as I walked to the door of the back room, my dad let out a wail. I looked straight at the place where my fourth uncle and grandma were sleeping, and I saw her lying there straight with her eyes closed. She was wearing the same clothes as in my dream.
Black shroud.
I just felt a "boom" in my brain, as if something was broken.
The world seemed to suddenly become a silent movie, everything became so unreal and unreal.
I seemed to see my father leaning over my fourth uncle and grandma, rubbing his eyes and opening his mouth to cry, and rushed forward to pull him away.
I heard a dry voice yelling roughly: "Don't shed your tears on my breasts, she will be cold if you go in!"
Many people came into the house quickly, including my mother, Zong Bao, and many neighbors in the building.
I didn't cry, I just stayed straight beside my fourth uncle and grandma, not letting anyone shed tears on her.
Zong Bao seemed to keep pulling me, his lips kept moving. Later, my father came over to pull me, but I didn’t move and didn’t let anyone touch my fourth uncle and grandma.
In the end, many people I didn't know came and they wanted to carry my fourth uncle and grandma away, but I refused and even started fighting with them.
In our countryside, when a person dies, he or she must be buried in a coffin. If I don't see Shou Fang, I won't allow anyone to touch her.
Several more women in white coats came into the room. They held my hand and kept talking to me. Finally, they inserted a needle into my arm. Slowly, my eyelids felt heavy. Finally,
, everything went dark, and I didn’t know anything anymore. This chapter has been completed!
