Inherit the family's old shop

Chapter 61

When I looked at the old man, his eyes seemed to have changed a bit, and the old man muttered, "The sound of the whip. The sound of the whip"

The old man muttered twice, but he didn't spit out the words after all, I was very anxious when I heard them, "Grandpa, couldn't it be you, then who typed it, you"

The old man shook his head, "It's a strange thing to say, and I can't handle it. Let's go to the mulberry forest to search for it tomorrow morning. Then, let's talk about what it is!"

I looked at the old man's eyes, and there was clearly something wrong in that look, but the old man didn't say anything, and I knew I couldn't ask anything. According to the old man, the sound of the whip was definitely not from the old man. , even the old man is afraid of the whipper. Thinking of this, I feel inexplicably nervous. Could it be that the whipper has something to do with the little Huadan and his wife in the old house? attempt?
At this time, the old man waved his hand at me, "Jiu Jin'er, go back to sleep first, squint your eyes for a while before dawn, what should you do when the sun comes out!"

"Wait a minute. When did your mouth heal, Grandpa?" I suddenly remembered this and hurriedly asked.

The old man raised his head, "What's the matter with the mouth, the little boy of the Wang family can't even stop a mouse, he can still fix me, let me tell you, it's not them I'm guarding against, it's me Beware of you kid, why are there so many in my stomach, I don’t pretend to be stupid, you kid still follow around every day behind your ass!"

"Hey, don't talk about it, I'll squint for a while, I'm old, I can't make it through the night!"

I watched the old man move his body and lay down on the kang. His face showed no worry or worry at all. I wanted to say a few more words, but I saw the old man lay down. After a while, I actually started snoring, and I felt helpless, so I covered the old man with a quilt, and then I went back to my room.

As soon as he entered the door, Chen Hanbiao was wearing the cotton shoes his grandma gave him, and when he saw me coming in, he showed off to me, "Jiujiner, look, these are shoes from grandma, hehe, they are much warmer than my previous ones! "

I smiled and perfunctorily went to find my grandma, but this idiot didn’t agree, he held me with one hand and insisted on asking me to talk about the shoes, this idiot is like a child now, making me dizzy All big.

But in terms of size, if he were an elephant, I would be nothing more than a little chick at best. If he stopped me with both hands and didn't say one, two, three, four, five, I wouldn't even think about leaving, so I had to be patient and follow him. He babbled a few words, like praising a child, praising him, and then let me go.

At this time, grandma was lying in the back room, as if she had fallen asleep in a daze. I watched grandma fall asleep, but I didn't feel embarrassed to say anything. I hugged a quilt and covered my body with the quilt, but the quilt was just close to my body. , Grandma woke up with a start.

Grandma looked at me for a while, "Jiujiner, what's up, your grandpa told you already!"

When grandma asked, I was stunned for a moment, and nodded my head, "I said it, I said everything that should be said, and I didn't say a word that shouldn't be said. Grandma listened silently." After a while, he nodded, "Hey, your grandfather didn't say it was for your own good. There are many things that even your father doesn't know. I don't want to drag you young people down with some things about the older generation. , Jiujiner, if your grandpa doesn't say anything, don't ask any more questions. Also, it's over after this matter is over, and don't keep thinking about these miscellaneous things in the future! "

Grandma comforted me again, my dear grandpa and grandma, I knew they would not harm me, but I couldn't help being curious, so I asked grandma again, "Grandma, I think it's not just grandpa who knows something. , I'm afraid even you know a little bit!"

Grandma laughed when she heard that, "I don't know anything, it's just some old rules. With your grandpa showing you the way, it will work naturally!"

I understand what grandma said. It turns out that all these things are the way that grandpa pointed out. The geomantic omen of the big bluestone, the craftsmanship of summoning souls, and the small coffin should all be given by the old man. To point it out, to put it bluntly, grandma has both hands from beginning to end, and grandpa can do whatever she asks.

"However, thinking of this, I have a little more doubt in my heart. The little red coffin is very similar to the craftsmanship of the old cripple. Could it be that the old man has something to do with the old cripple?" But thinking about it, I Knowing that I can't ask anything now, let's not talk about anything else. I know what the old man means very clearly. He doesn't want to reveal anything about the old Chen family.

Grandma hurriedly got up, "Jiujiner, it's almost dawn, you should go to bed too, I've been busy all night, so hurry up and rest, there will be things tomorrow morning!"

I responded with a dazed head, and grandma got up and went out while talking. Chen Hanbiao was also called into the room. They had been busy all night, and it was time to take a good rest.

I had something on my mind, and I wasn't sleepy at all, but when I lay down on the kang, I fell asleep unknowingly. I usually don't dream at home, but I just fell asleep and felt like I was in a dream. I dreamed of the old house, dreamed of the little Huadaner and the little ghost baby, and the old cripple who gnawed on the cornbread. For some reason, I also dreamed of a person, the one who brought me the train. The ticket person, it seems to be the scene of delivering train tickets in the dream again, she said a word, lowered her head and walked forward, the voice is familiar to me, I have to catch up with her to see who it is , but just when I was about to catch up with him from exhaustion, I was so dizzy that I woke up.

When I woke up, I realized that this was a dream. The characters I dreamed of in this dream can still be clearly remembered, but I know that this is not like the dream of entering an old house, because there is no sense of reality that is almost real , I always feel like I am going through the motions.

When I woke up, it was already broad daylight, and Chen Hanbiao was still soundly asleep. Through the window, I could already see the curling smoke coming from outside, and grandma was already making breakfast.

I woke up Chen Hanbiao, and when I went out, I saw grandma cooking. I hurried over to help, and asked, "Is grandpa awake?"

"Oh, your grandpa, he went out early in the morning!"

"What... went out!" I was startled by this sentence, and I hurriedly asked, "Grandma, did Grandpa say where you went, and why did you go out!"

Grandma waved her hand, "It's not that you don't know your grandpa's temper, who did he tell you when he went out, Jiujiner, don't worry, let's find someone to go to the mulberry forest to find your bracelet after dinner, Leave your grandpa alone!"

Just as I was about to speak, a voice suddenly came from outside the kitchen, "There is no need to go, I have been to that forest, and the nine-pound jade bracelet is not there!"

I poked my head and saw that my grandfather was standing at the door of the kitchen. The hair on his forehead was still damp. There was indeed something wrong with his old face. The old man looked at me and suddenly said, "This matter It's getting a little lively!"

When the old man said these words, I could see that there was a shadow on his face, but he also had a smile that was not a smile. This expression was much more complicated than when he met those young men last night. Looking at the old man The complexion on my face, my heart was also picked up a bit, it seems that this matter is not that simple anymore.

The old man raised his foot and entered the house, and I went in right after him, as usual, the old man lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, his eyes seemed to be reminiscing about something, I was stunned for a long time. He dared to interrupt the old man's train of thought, and the old man's expression changed only after he finished smoking a piece of dry tobacco.

"Grandpa, tell me, who took that bracelet!" I asked tentatively.

The old man sighed for a long time, and didn't answer my question directly. He seemed to be talking to himself, "Hmph, praying mantis catching cicadas, and squirrels are behind. Hey, I can't imagine that the muddy water here is worse than I thought. Go deep!"

"Grandpa, tell me, what's going on!" I was listening anxiously, the old man said such an inexplicable sentence, and then the old man looked at me, "Jiujiner, tell me about the sound of the whip!" , Did the three whips sound louder and louder from the first to the last? It sounds extremely fast, and the interval between the three sounds is extremely short!"

I was taken aback when I heard it, and when I think back to the beginning, it was really the case. I haven't said anything yet. The old man probably saw my wink. He suddenly narrowed his eyes when he looked at the old man, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "Mangshan hits the ghost whip, no The old things that were born have also begun to open the mountain pass!"

"Mangshan hit the ghost whip!" I was stunned for a moment, and heard such a new word again, but I have no interest in this kind of ghost whip, what I am anxious about is what is the intention of taking my jade bracelet.

"Grandpa... who the hell is this Mangshan Ghost Whip? He took my jade bracelet. Could it be that he has some intentions!"

The old man shook his head, "Hmph, who are they? A group of lunatics. This seems to be good or evil. After all, I dare not say what it is. It’s not a good thing either.”

"I'm nesting in this ravine. It stands to reason that those guys from Mangshan shouldn't be able to get here. Hey, they are all bastards from those aristocratic families. I don't know if I was followed by others, and I don't know this. Next time, those lunatics in Mangshan will make some fun again!"

The old man seemed to be talking to himself, with the corner of his mouth curled up and a squinting smile, and he glanced at me after he finished speaking, "Jiu Jin'er, don't worry, this man has saved you twice, logically speaking If he wants to touch your bracelet, it's just a matter of doing it, don't think too much, this person is actually here to meet me, an old bastard!"
