To be honest, if it weren't for something special, Chen Zhi would never talk to such an old lady.
This old lady looked even scarier than the great witch Ni Ya. All the wrinkles on her body were pinched together, like the folds of a bun.
However, the most important thing is not that she is old, but that her outfit is too scary. I don’t know if it is the preference of people from the Western Regions. The old lady is wearing a thick, oil-stained skirt and robe, and the oil spots on the robe are all visible.
It's two centimeters high.
She has white hair. Even though she is older, her hair is still thick. It is covered with braids. The braids are stuffed with various flowers and plants, as well as all kinds of indiscernible decorations. They are colorful.
Like a dancing master
Everything else is fine. As for the flowers and plants in the braid, I don’t know when they were put there. The hair is covered with fleas and maggots. It looks like it has never been washed in this life.
You can smell a rotten smell from a distance, which makes you almost nauseous.
"Grandma!",
Xiaomi was very happy when he saw his great-grandmother. He walked over and gave the old lady a big hug.
As expected, the old lady had obvious Alzheimer's disease and had very severe cataracts.
With her hands trembling and her eyes blurry, she carefully identified her great-grandson. It took her a long time to recognize him, and he called him "baby" and "child" for a long time.
Chen Zhi and the others also followed over, greeted politely, and gave the gifts they carried to the old lady. The old lady seemed not to understand etiquette. When she saw the pastry Chen Zhi was holding, she reached out to grab it, but Xiaomi stopped her and stopped her.
.
Xiaomi said loudly to the old lady,
"Grandma, these bosses are my friends and university scholars. We are here specially for you this time.
Come on, let’s go into the house, they have something to ask for your help with!”
After Xiaomi finished speaking, he waved to the back and let Chen Zhi and Pang Wei's people in.
Ghost Sword did not go in with them, but stood at the door of the compound, always paying attention to what was going on outside.
Along the way, Pang Wei's mouth was extremely sweet. He spoke with a grandma on the left and an old lady on the right. He hoped to flatter him more and get a lot of things done later.
However, the old lady didn't understand these words at all and just stared at the pastries in their hands in trance.
Finally I entered the house, passed through several houses, and finally entered the house where the old lady lived.
I don't know if this is the habit of the Sogdians. In the innermost room, there is a Kang mat covered with carpets. It is pitch black inside and smells of all kinds of strange incense.
There were several cotton mats in the middle of the kang mat. The cotton mats had not been washed for who knows how many lifetimes, and the oil-stained hemp flower gave off an unpleasant smell.
When the old lady saw it, she greedily climbed up as if she had seen the best place, lay down on the cotton mat, and gasped.
Only then did Chen Zhi see that the old lady probably stayed in the house all day long. Zhou Wei smelled of feces and urine, and the mat was full of food residue.
After entering the house, Xiaomi handed over the fruit he brought.
The old lady seemed to like sweets, so she immediately stuffed a lot of fruit into her mouth and ate it. The residue was scattered everywhere, and the surrounding area was in a mess. She looked very embarrassed...
"Why……",
Xiaomi sighed helplessly, her voice a little sad,
"Grandma is too old. She doesn't remember things anymore. She is usually confused. After all, she is already 107 years old!"
"Is this how long you live?",
Chen Zhi responded politely, took a look at the old lady, and realized that the old lady's bones were basically curled up, and her body was full of signs of aging, but her joints were still flexible.
It seems that this old lady is in very good health. Although she has Alzheimer's disease, she should be fine if she lives for a few more years.
In the following time, Chen Zhi did not rush to ask questions, but casually said some polite words.
It turns out that according to the seniority of the Han people, this old lady is Xiaomi’s wife and grandma, that is, Grandpa Xiaomi’s grandma.
The state has policies for ethnic minorities and has relaxed the marriage system. Most of them are accustomed to early marriage and early childbearing.
Thinking back to his great-grandmother's generation, there were many girls who gave birth to children at the age of fourteen or fifteen, became mothers-in-law at twenty-seven or eighty-years-old, and there were many who became grandmothers in their early forties.
But the identity of his wife and great-grandmother is indeed unique. I heard that she was very important in the local area when she was young. Every year when there was a famine, she would ask him to come out and do some magic to relieve the disaster. She was a bit like a local wizard.
But what it is, Xiaomi can’t tell. After all, it’s been too long...
Although this old lady is over a hundred years old, her health is surprisingly good. It is said that she also did some good deeds when she was young, so she has the blessing of living together for several generations.
Now only his grandson and grandson are left in the family. For convenience, Xiaomi keeps calling her "Grandma!"
Xiaomi said that when it comes to the meanings of those ancient Sogdian languages, in fact, his deceased father and grandfather did not understand them very well. The only one who really understands them is his great-grandmother.
Sogdian can only be learned at home and cannot be spoken outside.
It is said that Xiaomi’s father and grandfather were taught by grandma herself.
After everyone chatted for a while, Chen Zhi excused himself that he was hungry and asked Xiaomi to prepare some home-cooked meals. He also said that if there were grapes and fruits in the local area, he would bring some for them to try.
The two of them are here to chat with Grandma. As for the text, look at Grandma's state, as many as they can remember~~
There was nothing worrying about an old lady being left here. Xiaomi didn't think too much, agreed and got up and went out.
Afterwards, only three people, Chen Zhi, Fat Wei and Grandma Tai, were left in the room.
This old lady already had cataracts and suffered from Alzheimer's disease. She didn't even notice her great-grandson leaving. She ignored the two strangers and just stuffed fruit into her mouth desperately. Her hands and face were all greasy.
.
After Chen Zhi watched Xiaomi walk away, he quickly stood up and walked over, put his hand on the old lady's eyelids, turned them up and looked into her eyes~~
Then Chen Zhi turned around and whispered to Fat Wei:
"Her cataracts are very serious, and her vision must be blurry. The dementia in her brain is not a thing of a year or two!"
I will use a spell later to remove the cataracts from his eyes, and then make her regain consciousness in a short time!
However, this spell has a certain stimulating effect and will cause slight twitching when the power is transferred.
If the old lady goes into shock, you must give her artificial respiration immediately, otherwise it will be dangerous and troublesome..."
