Chapter Six [Dream Trust]
"Crazy zombie!"
This is the first reaction in my mind. I heard that the person who cheated the zombie did not fall into a breath, had a deep obsession, and had an unfulfilled wish. Even if he died, he would have to fulfill his wish, otherwise he would turn into a demon. Could it be that grandpa cheated the zombie?
I stepped back, and there was a solid wall behind me. I tried hard to rub my eyes. The dark shadow was still there. Is this true?
The black shadow seemed a little embarrassed, coughed lightly, said with unwillingness, and a little puzzled:
"Grandpa is afraid?"
I nodded in a bad mood and told the truth:
"Grandpa, you are dead. You told me before your lifetime that even if your relatives die, don't eat anything you want. If you eat it, you will get sick and feel uncomfortable!"
"Naked kid!"
Grandpa scolded me and continued to speak:
"I haven't had much time left. It's not time to recover now. I forced myself back. And those guys are chasing me. I want to tell you, follow that evil son, leave here and don't come back. Also, the ancestral jade pendant must not fall into the hands of others. Even if the evil son wants it, he can't give it to him. Remember?"
The voice was a little hoarse, dull, and a little unwilling to accept it.
"Grandpa, who did you harm you? And where did my father go? The evil son you mentioned is not an uncle, right?"
I looked at the black shadow and whispered. The black shadow seemed to know my fear and did not walk around, but was far away from me.
"It's an enemy. Now that I've told you, you can't take revenge. Instead, you're going to take your life in it. I don't know your father. I will go to him. You must remember what I said, remember!"
After saying that, the black shadow walked over, squatted in front of me, reached out and grabbed my shoulders, and his palms were cold.
"The ancestral jade pendant cannot fall into anyone's hands, you must remember it! You must remember it! If you forget, I will come to you!"
I felt my palm shaking on my shoulder, shaking very hard, and then I felt a slap on my face, hot and hot.
"I remember it, why do you want to hit me?"
Covering my face, the surroundings became very noisy, and the sound of sorrow and music sounded. When I opened my eyes, I found a pair of big hands in front of me, and I got up.
Something seems to be wrong around me. Why am I still in bed?
Zhongli pulled back his palm, shook it, and said coldly:
"Have you had a nightmare?"
I touched my hot cheeks and looked at him furiously. Since I knew I was having a nightmare, would I have to use such intense means to wake me up?
"Well, I dreamed of my grandpa."
I rubbed my face and spoke in a low voice. I really didn't dare to vent my temper for this strange cousin. Even if he slapped me, I just thought that he should just wake me up.
Usually, I will forget it after dreaming, but this dream is like a curse, deeply engraved in my head.
"Have he given you something?"
Zhongli glanced around, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, then turned his head and asked with a calm voice on his cold face.
"I didn't give it to you, he just told me to leave here and follow my uncle and don't take revenge."
I told him the content of the dream because he is one of my few relatives now. Of course, I did not reveal the matter about the ancestral jade pendant. After all, he is the son of his uncle Zhong Shan. Grandpa has warned me that he should not trust anyone easily, even his relatives.
Zhongli looked at me strangely, and suddenly showed a hint of sarcasm and said:
"Even if you don't say that, he will take you away."
I could tell that there was a look of disgust in his eyes, and the atmosphere in the room was a little awkward. No one spoke, but after a while, the knock on the door started.
"Zhong Yuan, I'm in!"
Hei Pang knocked on the door and finally broke in. His huge body sat on the bed, gasping for breath, and said:
"Zhong Yuan, why are you still staying here? You have to have dinner and you have to keep your soul tonight. You have to leave quickly."
My cousin got up and followed us outside. The table had been spread out and the round table was supported by a wooden shelf below. The round table was placed upwards, and then covered with cheap white plastic tablecloth.
My grandfather was very popular during his lifetime, so he was very lively around him, with many familiar people and many unfamiliar people.
Ten people had to sit next to each table. In addition to me, my cousin and black fat, there were also several neighbors on this table. The sound of firecrackers outside the mourning shed was shocking. However, the people who were playing the sorrows had stopped at this time, and they also started to eat. There was only noise around and the dishes were soon started.
"Zhong Yuan, this is your cousin, young man, he is so young and handsome. By the way, what does the family do? Your father Zhong Shan is ambitious and has made a lot of money in the city."
Aunt Li grinned with yellow teeth and looked at her cousin with a smile. Her cousin looked at Aunt Zhang coldly without saying anything.
"Aunt Li, my cousin is back home for the first time. I'm not used to it, so don't mind."
Through just a few short contacts, I knew my cousin’s cold personality, but others didn’t know that Aunt Li was a big mouth in the village and might be gossiping behind her back again.
Although I am not in the mood to eat now, after seeing the dishes, I still ate a few bowls of rice, because I feel that this dish is comparable to the Chinese New Year. My uncle is really not ruthless at all when he spends money to do this. My cousin just ate a little vegetables casually and sat next to him.
"Zhongli, why don't you eat more? It's not to your appetite? By the way, today you have to accompany Xiaoyuan to keep a little full, and Xiaoyuan is the same."
My uncle walked behind us, reached out to put his hand on our shoulders, and spoke very tiredly.
"snort!"
Zhongli snorted coldly with his nose, reached out to open his uncle's arm, and looked at his father in disgust. But what surprised me was that his uncle was not angry. He just smiled awkwardly when he saw me staring at him, and said:
"Your cousin is this kind of personality. Don't deal with outsiders. Don't take it to heart. We have to stay here for a few more days, so I'll ask you to take care of it."
After the uncle said that, he left.
Outsider? Are you a real father or an outsider...
Wake Night.
At around 11 o'clock tonight, the villagers almost went to bed. In fact, people in the countryside usually went to bed very early and usually went to the room at around 7 o'clock in the evening. Especially in this cold winter, they slept earlier, but they were just holding funerals here, so they persisted until after 11 o'clock.
Mr. Man is old and can't stand it, so after seeing off the guests, he goes back to Huai Village. His uncle seems to be going to the town to do something and will not come back tonight.
I stayed alone in the mourning hall. The wind was cold outside the house, but the gate of the mourning hall was not closed because there was a tradition here that the deceased had to go home and could not close the door.
At eleven o'clock, I was left with me. Didn't I say I asked my cousin Zhongli to accompany me? Why didn't I have a shadow until now?
In addition to watching the sleeping lamp at the top of the coffin, you also have to be responsible for incense candles. The sandalwood and fire candles on the altar cannot be extinguished, and occasionally you have to burn some money.
The coffin was one left and one right, extremely dark, and there were several sturdy wooden benches placed under the coffin, which were placed on it.
Originally, there was only one coffin, and the other one was borrowed from me, Mr. Man, because it was too late to make the coffin at this time.
Before leaving, my uncle brought me a basin of charcoal fire. After all, the weather is already very cold now, especially in the middle of the night, when I walked outside, the cold wind was coming up, making my face hurt.
I sat next to the coffin next to my grandfather, and I couldn't bear it until now. Are they really dead? The red embroidered shoes in front of my mother's coffin were particularly conspicuous and deeply hurt my heart. Didn't she say that she still had to take care of her grandchildren? Didn't she watch me marry a wife? Why did she leave?
I haven't bought a house in a big city yet and haven't taken you to enjoy your happiness yet. How could you die?
At this moment, I recalled the past of my mother and grandfather before my death. An uncontrollable feeling of grief and anger arose in my heart. No one knew this feeling, and my heart seemed to be blocked by something. My eyes were hot and my nose was sour. Once I lost it, I would never come back. It was impossible for my mother and grandfather to return to me again.
I can no longer enjoy the love they gave me. Even my mother made a meal for me to eat. This small wish could not be realized. I covered my face and buried my head between my knees. I wet my pants with tears. But I dared not cry loudly, for fear of waking them in the sleeping state. But the more people fear, the more they follow you. This sentence is not false at all.
