The last Onmyoji

Chapter 30 Kneeling

After I finished saying this, Grandpa's arms that were still dancing actually stopped, and then he got up, walking slowly like he did when he came.The walk was very peaceful.

It wasn't until Grandpa walked out of the yard that Second Uncle crawled out from under the bed and asked me, "What do you gain?"

I sat limp on the bed.Said to the second uncle: "Grandpa should know something. I slept too hard a few times ago. In fact, he came back just to tell me a message and run away. He is telling me to run away!"

For some reason, I suddenly thought of the dream I had just now.

Linjiazhuang disaster.Grandpa's warning to me, could it be related to that dream?
"There is a disaster in Linjiazhuang! Everyone is dead!" I said to my second uncle.

The second uncle's face was dark, and he asked me: "What did you see? In the dream just now?"

"People, all of them are dead." At this moment, my heart was blank, and it was all the scenes from the dream just now. All the people in Linjiazhuang were all dead.

The second uncle stood at the head of my bed without saying a word, as if he was thinking about something.

That night, neither of us slept, and I was at a loss. Second uncle, a non-smoker, actually smoked more than half of my pack of cigarettes in front of the window sill.

Before dawn the next day, the door of our house was knocked open.The fat aunt ran to my house and yelled over there.

"Yutang? Yutang? Wake up! Your father has come out again!"

My second uncle and I didn't fall asleep at first, but I was shocked when the fat aunt called out. In my mind, since grandpa has always wanted to convey a message to me, then his goal has been achieved last night. , it stands to reason that the wish has been fulfilled, and you should go to reincarnate with peace of mind.But why was he still seen by the fat aunt after he went out of my room last night.

"Fat aunt? Where did you see my grandpa?" I asked.

"In the ancestral hall, I said Xiaofan, something happened in the ancestral hall. I went to offer incense to my father-in-law in the morning, but the door was blocked, and there was a man in a shroud kneeling outside. I wondered who this was kneeling there in the morning, and when I got closer, I almost jumped out of my heart, it turned out to be your grandfather, Mrs. Lin!" said the fat aunt.

At this time, my father also came out of the room, and my grandma also came out of the room almost at the same time. As soon as she came out, she began to cry, cursing: "You said this dead ghost, why doesn't he stop?"

When our family rushed to the ancestral hall, there was already a circle of people around the ancestral hall. I took a closer look and saw my grandfather. He was still wearing the shroud, and he knelt down at the place blocked by my father and me last night. that door.The crowd was pointing at him, seeing us coming, now everyone is suspicious of the ancestral hall, because the fortune teller Xu Lin came, in fact, it was for my grandpa, and the grandpa who had already stopped now If the trouble continues, there is only one possibility, that is, the ever-burning light goes out.

The villagers didn't go too far and immediately asked us to give an explanation, or they said that we must open the door of the ancestral hall to see the ever-burning lights. On the one hand, this is because my family is absolutely not willing to have such a thing happen to the villagers. Second, even though my grandfather cheated like this over and over again, he never hurt anyone.

Grandpa's body is just kneeling at the entrance of the ancestral hall. This made me feel quite uncomfortable when I saw it. Grandpa must know about the female ghost in the ancestral hall. Is he begging for forgiveness or begging to let me go? I don't know about our family, but I can really feel that there seems to be a disaster in the future of Linjiazhuang.

"Give your grandpa some more paper money, he'll be buried in peace after death, right?" Someone else comforted us.

"Xiaofan, what happened to the ever-burning lamp that the gentleman arranged?"

There is always such a voice in the crowd asking me what.I also know that I can't hide it. The door of the ancestral hall is blocked, which is a helpless act. Grandpa's kneeling at night is undoubtedly a fuse, so that the truth that I want to hide can no longer be concealed.

When we lifted Grandpa up, his body was still in a kneeling posture. The corpse was not decomposed, but it was already stiff and out of shape. We couldn't even make his legs stand upright.

If grandpa keeps such a kneeling posture, not to mention unsightly, the main reason is that it is too difficult to bury him. When grandpa is carried to the cemetery again, if he puts him in the coffin like this, he will not be able to cover the coffin board naturally.

"Second Uncle, is there a way?" I secretly asked him.

He shook his head.With so many people around, he wanted to keep his secret, even if he had a way, he couldn't tell it. In the end, grandpa was buried in a kneeling posture. ——This is the first time I cried except when my grandfather died.

He has no culture, not because my grandma taught him a few words later, he couldn't even write his own name completely, he is an honest man, but he told me before that when he was captured by the Japanese devils, he almost He was tortured to death, and he didn't move.I asked him at the time, why didn't he recruit?
If you recruit, you are not a man.He was smoking a dry cigarette and said to me.

He doesn't have much pride and ambition, and he doesn't understand any major principles. A man, except for his own wife, can die standing up, but not live on his knees. This is the biggest principle of grandpa in his life.

But after standing alive all his life, he actually knelt down and was buried in a prostrating posture. What an insult to a stubborn and honest man?

——Everyone felt bad about this incident, especially since I didn't hide the fact that the ever-burning light was off from everyone. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that my grandpa's kneeling was not for himself, which made the Seventh Grandpa who came later The old man shouted in tears: "Youngest, you are much stronger than the third."

At this time, I can't even remember how many times my grandfather was buried. This time, I was really sad and felt worthless for my grandfather. When my grandfather's grave was filled up again, my father, who had been silent all this time, resisted. Cement came over and covered the entire tomb.

"Dad, you don't have to worry about something if something happens. Those who are alive will find a solution." Father choked up after finishing all this.

After all the work was done, the villagers scattered around, and no one said that my family had to give some nonsense, because Lin Erdan was possessed by the third grandfather, not my own grandfather.

It turns out that things are getting weirder.

At this time, Mr. Yin Yang is the only one who can give people the strongest sense of security, not even the police.

But Xu Lin, whom Lin Sanshui invited, hasn't come back yet.

Lin Erdan only has one week.The second uncle still didn't make any movement, even I became worried, joined the second uncle and finally chose not to make a move, what if the second uncle died?
It's also fortunate that our village is relatively poor. If there were so many incidents in a rich place, someone would have moved away long ago.But even so, some of the villagers moved away the next day. If they didn't move, they would at least go to their relatives' homes to take refuge.Last time it was Lin Erdan, who will be next time, who knows?

The next day, instead of Xu Lin, I waited for Wu Miaoke and Lin Xiaoyao, who were discharged from the hospital.

The wife of the village chief was discharged from the hospital, and Wu Miaoke was usually very popular, so as soon as he came back, the villagers all went to visit. My father also prepared a basket of eggs for me, and asked me: "Your Uncle Sanshui is busy Yes, go and see, it's a courtesy."

When I took the basket of eggs, I saw the black line on my father's forehead, which became more and more serious.

"Dad, go to the hospital for an examination. Why do I feel that your forehead is so dark?" I was actually very disturbed. I was afraid that it was the sequelae that fell after the ancestral hall that night, and there was a sentence often seen in novels. Words—I see that your seal is black, and there will definitely be a catastrophe in the near future.

So no matter what the reason is, I feel that my father should go and see it.

"I didn't die that night, what else can I do? Don't talk about it, go and see your Aunt Miao Ke, by the way, it's okay to take the little demon to buy two clothes." Father said.

At this time, he also acquiesced in Lin Xiaoyao, and the development of the matter was exactly as his father expected at the beginning. At the beginning, he said that my grandfather's affairs should not be made public, for fear of affecting my marriage. I didn't take it seriously, but so After a long time, no one really told me about matchmaking, so I had to convince my father's judgment. Now, except for Lin Xiaoyao, few people would dare to cheat me with my grandfather.

This fucking is fate?
In the end I went anyway, and now I find that my father didn't think about everything, a person who has lived for decades has his background and knowledge, just like he is suspicious of his second uncle in his heart now, but he I won't say it like I'm still acting very calm on the surface, I will deliberately alienate Lin Xiaoyao and Wu Miaoke's mother and daughter, it will only make him see that it is strange.

Of course, the most important thing is, I'm afraid Wu Miao can't let go of it. Once a person dies once, what can she not let go of someone who is not afraid of death?Take the foot she stretched towards me in the hospital as an example, a normal Wu Miao would definitely not be able to do such a thing, and she once told me that if I refused, she would go find someone else. ——she could do such a thing.

Even if they are neighbors, even if Lin Sanshui is the village head, if Wu Miaoke really lets go and ignores it, there is no doubt how many people will go there. In this village, more than half of the men will have feelings for Wu Miaoke. Thoughts, she was an attractive woman after all.

I don't want to get too close to this mother and daughter, I have my concerns, but I'm afraid that my intentional alienation will make Wu Miaoke think too much, so I find someone else.When I think about other men lying on her snow-white body with long hair, I feel very distressed, and I also hate my mentality very much.

Promise her, get her, this is not in line with the education I have received, the etiquette and shame I have insisted on for more than [-] years, and I will even feel sorry for Lin Sanshui who has always been good to me and Lin Xiaoyao who has a deep love for me.But in my subconscious mind, I wanted to possess her selfishly, and I didn't want her to have anything to do with any man.

I carried the basket of eggs, which is the most common gift among villagers in this village. When I arrived at Lin Sanshui’s house, Wu Miaoke’s health was already fine. In the end, Xiao Yao was thrown by the side of the road, but she still ran over to pick me up and said, "Brother Xiao Fan, you are so polite, take it back."

"Put it here, my dad asked me to bring it here." I said.

I have to say that women are animals that are good at disguising. Wu Miaoke hasn't even looked at me since I entered the yard.Just as I was feeling uncomfortable, Lin Xiaoyao stepped on my foot, leaned over to my ear and said, "Can you stop being unable to move your eyes away from my mother once you arrive at my house?!"
