Inherit the family's old shop

Chapter 36
Grandma can be regarded as an elder in the village, and she has some status. The average young people still listen to a few words. The wife of the Li family went to the house. The old man stayed outside.

I couldn't hear what was said in the room, and the old man was also sullen and didn't say a word. After about half an hour, grandma came out with Li's daughter-in-law and sent Li's daughter-in-law out. Grandma turned her head and looked at me , the look in my eyes, I understood in my heart, it seems that I have something to do.

"Jiu Jin'er, I told the Li family's wife about this matter, and she reluctantly believed it, but to solve this matter, I need your help!"

When grandma said this, I didn't have anything to say, and immediately responded, "Grandma, tell me, what should I do about this!"

Grandma nodded, "This grandson of the Li family must have been taken away by Mrs. Li. Tonight, we have to summon his soul!"

When I heard about Calling Soul, I was stunned for a moment. Looking at my grandma, I felt that she was so unusual for the first time. I have never seen or even heard of this method of Calling Soul for many years.

"Grandma, you still know how to call back souls!" I asked in amazement, and grandma responded, "It's not a rare thing in the village for a child to lose his soul. Older people who are older will understand A little bit, no big deal!"

Grandma said it very casually, I glanced at grandpa, and grandpa nodded at me, from what I heard, this method of summoning souls is like talking about carrots and cabbage, very casual.

I didn't ask any more questions, and grandma started to work. Because of my status as a grandson, I also hurried to Li's house. The Li family's grandson lost his soul, and the Li family's wife and son knew about it. No one else dared to say, I went, that Chen Hanbiao was eating noodles there, there was no one in the village, no matter if they were relatives or those who came to help, they all had something to eat, Chen Hanbiao was a fool, early in the morning Did not leave, just waiting for their breakfast.

Chen Hanbiao beckoned me to go back to eat, and he was holding a big bowl of noodles, eating it with a snort, the sound was like eating pig food, speaking of the people here, I can talk to this Chen Hanbiao, A fool who can say whatever he wants.

While eating in the corner, I muttered and asked, "Brother Biao, have you ever heard of Lost Soul in this village?"

Chen Hanbiao was eating noodles, but he didn't seem to hear the first sentence. I said it again, but he still ignored me. I patted him on the shoulder, and he woke up. Good guy, this guy can eat noodles. I was so engrossed in eating that I was speechless.

I said it again, and Chen Hanbiao was taken aback for a moment, and smiled a little foolishly, "You said you lost your soul, but I've heard of this before, but it's a pity, I just haven't lost it!"

I was dumbfounded by this answer, it's a pity I didn't lose it, and I have nothing to do with Brother Biao.

I ignored his nonsense, and continued to ask, "Then you know. Is there anyone in this village who can summon souls?"

When Chen Hanbiao heard me, he froze there as if thinking about something, and nodded for a while, "Speaking of which, I really know one. The old widow on the west side of our village can order, but it's just a substitute. Doing things, but for the benefit, just like me keeping vigil for others, it can be regarded as a job for a living!"

"Hey, I don't know who she learned it from. She makes more money than me standing guard!" Chen Hanbiao sighed, and continued to snort and eat noodles. Filtered, I can still smile with him when it's okay, but now, I'm annoyed.

Hearing what Chen Hanbiao said, only the old widows in the west of our village know the skill of summoning souls, but from the mouth of the grandma and the old man, it seems that the skills of summoning souls are bought for vegetables, because the words of the old cripple, the subconscious I always feel that my family is not as simple as I saw. Xiao Huadaner also said that there are many capable people in our Chen family, but I don’t know any of them. , The dream of going back to the old house at night disappeared inexplicably, and I felt even more awkward.

It should be a happy thing to say that there is really an expert hiding in this house, but I am just a stubborn person, some things are so vague, I feel awkward, I always want to see Bring out some flowers.

At noon that day, the eldest son of the Li family rushed over. He was dressed in bright clothes, and he entered the door in a suit and leather shoes. At first glance, he and the second son, a country bumpkin, were of two levels. There was a burst of wailing before, and I watched him crying with tears and snot from afar. I always felt that his crying was a bit fake, not as filial as he appeared on the surface.

The people in the village hurriedly pulled him away, and after a while of persuasion, they stopped crying. I didn't have the heart to watch a play here, so I chatted with Chen Hanbiao on the side. After a while, I saw some people and turned towards Li The eldest son of the Li family passed by, and there was a burst of greetings, consolation, and condolences. After a while, a group of people started talking, and later, the eldest son of the Li family was still talking and laughing.

To say that there is no lack of those who kneel and lick their hot faces and cold buttocks, it can be seen that the eldest son of the Li family is doing well outside, and these people are all rushing to the eldest son, but it is the guard before the death. His second son was left there in the cold.

After a while, I heard the sound of a truck from afar, and I could tell that it was my father coming in. Before I left, my father came in in filial piety, and I saw from a long distance, that my father's eyes were red. Yes, I didn't say a word when I entered the door, I walked all the way to the coffin, and the tears fell when I bowed down in front of the coffin.

The old man was crying, talking about Mrs. Li, talking about how she used to be, and saying that he hadn't seen her for the last time. The people on the other side hurried over to help the old man, and I also went to help him. It took me a long time to persuade him. Take daddy away.

Crying and mourning in this village is considered a rule, and it is also the last filial piety that children and grandchildren show their elders. Some people are sincere, and some people are fake. It can't be said, but you have to follow the rules.

When the old man stopped his tears, some people on the side also came over to persuade the old man, and exchanged some pleasantries. Speaking of which, although the old man can only be said to be doing well outside these years, he is considered pretty good in the village , 90s, it is not easy to have a car.

The two sons of the Li family came over and said these things to their father. I was far away and couldn't hear clearly, but I could tell that the eldest son of the Li family spoke calmly. He looked like someone who had seen the world. When he arrived at his own home, he didn't see anyone outside at all. On the contrary, the second son was a little awkward when he spoke, and he just nodded and didn't talk much.

With my dad here, I have a lot less things to do. In the evening, my grandma suddenly came over and told me to go back. I don't say why, and I know that grandma is taking me. Summoner!
My grandma took me home, and the wife of the Li family was waiting at my house, holding the child in her arms, sleeping soundly all the time, looking at the child's rosy face, I really couldn't see anything wrong with him, but Grandma went over and touched the child's little face, but there was something wrong with it.

"Grandma Chen, what are you talking about? What should I do!" The Li family's daughter-in-law burst into tears as soon as she spoke, because the Li family was still having a funeral, and the Li family's daughter-in-law was waiting here , Grandma smiled, "It's okay, don't worry, the child is too young and weak, it's nothing serious!"

But having said that, grandma seemed to be frowning all the time, and while she was packing her things, she asked me, "Jiujiner, do you remember the Manshui Bridge on the west side of the village?"

"Manshui Bridge" When I heard the name, I suddenly had a little impression in my mind. In our village, the bridge on the east side of the village and the bridge on the west side of the village, I had a little impression when I was young. It is said that it is the only access to those villages in the west and up the mountain. This Manshui bridge has been around for a long time. It was built relatively short at that time. When it rains heavily in the rainy season and the water rises, the bridge is basically flooded over. , Later, the name of the Manshui Bridge spread.
