The night I came back from burning the big paper, I had a nightmare.
I dreamed that my grandma drove a very bright red car and parked it directly in front of the house. After entering the door, she walked directly next to me and looked at me with a bright smile, "Qiaoqiao, Qiaoqiao?"
She laughed so hard that my whole body went crazy. I sat up and looked at her, "Grandma, why are you back?"
She looked at me: "Grandma is short of boys and girls. You alone are enough. Come on, follow grandma..." As she said that, she stretched out her hand to me and said in a very gentle manner, "Follow grandma."
ah."
I was so frightened that I kept leaning back, saying "No, I won't go." I wanted to run, but found that my lower body suddenly couldn't move.
Grandma smiled, her dry lips red, "My good granddaughter, come with Grandma..."
"Jiaolong, Jiaolong?"
I opened my eyes suddenly, still saying "I don't, I don't!"
Grandma looked at me with a worried look on her face, "Are you dreaming?"
As soon as I saw my grandma, I felt relieved instantly. I quickly looked at the door, which was tightly closed, and exhaled a long breath, "Grandma, grandma said she wanted to take me away because she was short of boys and girls."
"This old man is immortal." Grandma wiped the sweat on my head. "It's really like living, what will you do if you die? It's okay, grandma is here, don't be afraid."
Then grandma sat up, opened the drawer on the bedside table and took out a pair of scissors, then took out a red cloth, wrapped it directly, lifted my pillow, then put the wrapped scissors underneath, and looked at me, "It's okay."
Go to sleep, she won’t dare to come again.”
I didn't sleep well that night. Although I didn't dream about grandma later, I slept very lightly. I always felt like someone was calling me, Qiao Qiao, Qiao Qiao...
For two days in a row, I had no energy. During the day, my grandma and dad went out to look at the land. I would just play with the mobile phone Zhuo Jing gave me in the house and play the games on it. At night, I would sleep in a daze. Sometimes I could hear grandma.
The voice said, let me go to her house or something. I could hear this voice even in broad daylight, and it scared me so much.
It wasn't until the third day that grandma said that the place for grandma's burial had been found. During breakfast in the morning, my father looked at grandma and asked, "Mom, what time will the burial be? Do I need to find a few more people?"
Grandma glanced at me and said, "Jiaolong has the final say on what time the burial will be."
Everyone on the table was stunned, and Dad looked even more puzzled. "Is it Qiaoqiao's decision?"
Grandma nodded: "The blackbird cries and the carp climbs the tree before you can be buried."
At this time, I was also stunned and looked at my grandma, "What do you mean the black bird cries and the carp climbs the tree?" How can the bird cry and the fish climb the tree?
Grandma looked at me and said, "You'll know when we get there. Let's eat first."
Dawei on the side suddenly spoke, "I have heard that carps can be seen when they are buried on a tree. It is very auspicious and symbolizes wealth for future generations. But aunt, can you really see such a strange sight? If you can,
It’s not like my life was in vain.”
Grandma opened her mouth and said, "Don't ask too many questions. Just let Jiaolong take a look at it when the time comes." After saying that, she looked at her father and said, "How is your soul?"
"I'm still nursing in the room. I'm too weak, and mom left in a hurry, so I haven't recovered yet." Dad responded, his expression not very good.
Ever since Sister-in-law fainted from crying on the day of grandma's funeral, she has been lying in her room and never went downstairs. Uncle Zhuo didn't come down very much. He was always taking care of her upstairs. He also didn't let Zhuo Jing live downstairs.
.
Grandma asked them to go back early, but the sister-in-law said that they should wait until grandma was buried and burned before going back. She didn't want to go to the hospital if she was not in good health, so she just kept lying in the room.
Because I have been depressed for the past two days and have not left the room. Although Zhuo Jing did not come to see me, the phone was not disconnected. He called me on his mobile phone when he was fine. However, the call made me even more depressed.
Yesterday he called and said he would come downstairs to take me out for a walk. I said I wasn't feeling well and just wanted to lie down on the bed and not move, and then hung up the phone.
Who knew that after a while, he called again and lowered his voice and said, "Black Monkey, I just went downstairs and saw that the door to your grandma's room was open. It seemed like someone was inside."
I was lying on the bed and murmured, "Is Aunt Xinyun cleaning the room in there?"
"Didn't everyone in your family go out with your grandma to look at the land?"
As soon as he finished speaking, I sat up and said, "Don't scare me."
"I didn't scare you. I really saw it. It seemed like someone was sitting on the bed, so I came up directly. How about you go upstairs? Don't stay in that room. Your grandma's room is next door."
My heart was pounding at that time. I didn’t know if Zhuo Jing was really scaring me. Just when I was thinking about opening the door and taking a look at my grandma’s house, I heard someone having sex in my grandma’s house next door.
I slapped the wall. I was so scared that I didn't dare to open the door and rush out. I was afraid that grandma would be waiting for me at the door.
When I sat down on the bed, the sound of banging on the wall stopped. Then I called Zhuo Jing on my cell phone, but couldn't get through. Fortunately, my grandma came back at that time, otherwise I would have easily scared myself to death.
My grandma told me not to scare myself. She also said that even if my grandma was really acting like a monster because of the talisman around my neck, she wouldn't be able to get close to me. Finally, my grandma added, "People, what they fear most is scaring themselves."
I think I was a little scared of myself, but I couldn't overcome this psychological fear, so the only thing I thought about was to go home quickly and leave my father's house. I really didn't want to stay there for a day.
When we went out to get in the car and go to the cemetery, I turned around and saw Zhuo Jing coming out. Aunt Xinyun looked at him and said quickly, "Xiao Jing, where are you going? You're not at home with An Qi."
ah."
Zhuo Jing glanced at me and said to his aunt, "I'm going out to buy something." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Dad shouted from the side, "Xiao Jing, do you need us to send you off?"
Zhuo Jing didn't look back and waved his hand as he walked. I turned around, always feeling that he was a little strange. What should he buy? He had to wait until we were all gone to buy it, but I couldn't ask if my grandma was nearby because she was now
Another thing he said most often was to keep Zhuo Jing and me at a distance, and that An Qi had a problem with me, more or less because of Zhuo Jing.
The car drove directly to the foot of the mountain, and then we walked up, setting off firecrackers all the way. After we arrived, I discovered that the cemetery where my grandma was located was very high, and I could actually overlook the entire county.
At that time, people might not want to go to the cemetery, so grandma's place was very large, and the surrounding cemeteries were all empty. Grandma first asked us to line up in a row, and dad stood in the middle holding the urn.
, then grandma took out three pieces of paper and asked dad to kneel down and light them before putting them into grandma's grave. She also asked dad to say, "Mom, I'll warm you up."
Then, he took out the ingots and placed them around the tomb, and then used coins to make a seven-star shape, saying that the seven stars would lead the way. The descendants were all ready. After everything was done according to grandma's instructions, dad stood still again and looked at grandma: "
Mom, can you put my mother’s ashes in it?”
But grandma looked at me and opened her mouth: "Wait a minute, let Jiaolong take a look."
I was a little confused and didn’t know what to look at. I looked around. There were many trees on the mountain and there were many birds chirping. But what is the cry of black birds? When I raised my face, I saw a few things that looked like crows flying overhead.
After passing by, screaming in her mouth, grandma suddenly responded, "The black bird cries!"
This is the cry of the blackbird. I looked at my grandma with a puzzled face, but I felt a gust of wind blowing over me. My eyes were blurred. When I opened my eyes, I saw a newspaper hung on a tree next to my grandma's grave.
, the key point was that there was actually a picture of a fish on the newspaper. I was shocked and pointed at the tree, "Grandma!!"
Grandma then looked over and said, "The carp is climbing up the tree!!"
"The auspicious time has come for burial!" (To be continued)
