Chapter 2 Getting into trouble(1/2)
I think what happened last night was a bit weird.
I didn't want my wife to be too depressed, so I forced a smile and comforted her: "Hehe, maybe the business in the store has been very popular recently. I've been too tired from work and I'm not having enough rest. Oh, Xiaoxiao, don't worry, I'll just take a break. Xiaoxiao, you didn't have a rest last night, you got up so early in the morning to make breakfast for me. Thank you so hard. You can rest at home today. Don't be too tired. Oh, Xiaoxiao, look at me, I'm just chatting with you. I'm almost late to work. I won't tell you anymore, I'll leave first."
Xiaoxiao was still a little worried and reminded: "Be careful on the road. Don't sleepwalking in broad daylight. It's quite scary!"
"Well, okay, I understand. It's okay, just take a break."
I went out with a complicated expression.
I lit a flower, suppressing my shock.
Walking on the road, I repeat the last night's events in my mind over and over again.
Is it me sleepwalking or Xiaoxiao?
It was clearly me chasing Xiaoxiao, but why did I suddenly become me alone in the video?
So strange.
This is unscientific.
I thought about it over and over again, but I couldn't get any reason.
I soon arrived at the paper-making shop.
Grandpa has already started working in the store.
Speaking of my grandfather, he looks sloppy, but he does know a lot. He is proficient in the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, Feng Shui, Yin and Yang, Astronomy and Geography.
This old man likes to tell me ghost stories and scare me on weekdays. You know, the most taboo thing in our business is that thing.
Although it is superstitious, it is not credible.
But sometimes, many things are very evil, such as what happened last night.
When my grandfather saw me coming in, he urged: "Xiao Tang, have the paper people tied up yesterday? Today the owner is coming to pick it up."
I nodded: "It's all done."
While sorting out the little paper man, he talked with his grandfather about what happened last night.
Simply say it.
After hearing this, my grandfather touched his false beard, which looked hypocritical. Sometimes he looked up at the stars, as if he was recalling the ups and downs of life, sometimes he shook his head and sighed, as if an inflatable doll was leaking. That way, I felt the urge to beat him up.
Grandpa walked back and forth three times, thought for a while, frowned slightly, and said, "No, it's unreasonable, this is unscientific, Xiao Tang, are You �
"Grandpa, I don't like to listen to this. Although I look bad, I haven't grown bad yet. Let's talk about flat breasts. When did I do bad things? Do you still know what kind of person I am?" Although I am not noble, I am not shameless. I am honest and honest, three good men.
Grandpa said firmly: "No, something must have happened. You are thinking about it carefully."
I have never done bad things. After all, we are role models for men, idols of women, representatives of cities, and image of the country. It is impossible to do bad things.
If you want to say something wrong, you suddenly remembered what happened to the paper-cut guy yesterday.
At that time, I cut a lot of small paper people, looking at those small paper people with noses and eyes, but I always feel that they lack charm.
After a closer look, it turned out that there were no pupils in the eyes.
Anyway, they were burned to death, so I didn't care, so I took a pen to draw the eyes on it.
As he said that, he showed the little paper man with eyes drawn to his grandfather.
Seeing this, grandpa's blood pressure suddenly soared, and he rushed to 180 seconds. He was furious and said furiously: "Damn it, who told you to draw your eyes?"
Suddenly, the little paper man in my hand fell to the ground.
Grandpa loves me the most.
When I was studying paperwork, I don’t know how many mistakes I made. My grandfather never yelled at me. Even if I told my grandmother about hiding his private money, he had never gotten angry. But this time, he got angry because of this little thing.
Suddenly, I was frightened.
It seems that things are serious.
I hurriedly explained: "Grandpa, I...I just think that the little paper man has no eyes, so I..."
Grandpa wanted to slap me from three-dimensional to flat surfaces, and then from flat to three-dimensional measurements. He said angrily: "Good? How beautiful do you want it to be? Do you know that you have caused a big disaster? Paper horses stand on their feet and don't raise their manes, paper people don't draw their eyes, and when they draw their eyes, paper people will have aura and will provoke unclean things."
What? What's the thing?
Can paper people attract ghosts?
I have never heard from my grandfather.
I just think that it was burned to death anyway, and it was the same whether it was drawn or not. I didn't expect that things were so serious.
Grandpa said, I made a big taboo.
I was stunned.
I was thinking, wasn’t it just a drawing of an eye? As for what I said is so mysterious?
Grandpa's face was so angry that he was ashen, his face turned pale, and he was extremely difficult to see. He said angrily: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and take the paper man to burn it for me."
I'll go, what's wrong with the old man today? I was scolded by my grandmother, dumped by my dance partner, or encountered something unpleasant? I scolded me in a sarcastic manner.
Alas, who said he was my grandfather? We dare not refute it.
I had to honestly use the lighter, light a candle, and then start burning the little paper man.
Grandpa then kindly touched my head, returned to peace, and explained patiently: "Xiao Tang, do our business, some taboos should be paid attention to. It's not grandpa to scare you. This is not superstition. Some things, once you make mistakes, you will regret it. Remember, don't walk at night on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, don't go up the mountain at night, when walking on Qingming Festival, someone shouts you don't agree easily, and you must not stop when you meet a woman in red in the middle of the night when driving. This is a big taboo. Also, especially when you walk at night, remember not to call the other person's name casually. If you are heard by those ghosts, you will be pestered."
You are so bad, you are so bad that you know how to scare me.
Do you think I was scared?
Don’t you know? As long as you are brave, a female ghost will take maternity leave. As long as you are brave, you will take maternity leave twice.
But the next second, I suddenly widened my eyes.
The paper man that had just been lit was extinguished strangely when it was halfway through burning.
Even the candle was extinguished.
I couldn't help but shout, "Grandpa, no, the candle is out."
This strange scene instantly made me shudder and my spine became cold.
There was no wind in the house, so how could the candle suddenly go out?
Seeing this, my grandfather's face changed and his face turned pale in an instant.
He sighed and said, "Oh, it's a blessing, it's not a disaster, it's a disaster, Xiao Tang, you don't need to do the work in the store, hurry up and go home, remember, put three white steamed buns on the worship platform in the living room, put a piece of pork in the middle, and light a white candle on both sides. Remember, it's a white candle, not a red candle, don't make a mistake. Then, remember it for me, the candle cannot be put out all night, can you hear it clearly??!"
Grandpa's face was serious and his expression was solemn. Whenever grandpa's expression was like this, something would definitely happen.
I was a little anxious and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Grandpa, what happened?"
Grandpa looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "People lit candles and ghosts blew the lights. Since the candle has been extinguished, it means that the thing has entangled you. Tonight, come here on time, let's go to the back mountain."
For a moment, I became a little scared, and it seemed that things were very serious.
But, in the middle of the night, I went to the deep mountains and forests?
Are you mistaken? How scary is this? Besides, my grandfather just told me that he should not go up the mountain in the middle of the night, and there are many taboos. As soon as he finished speaking, we are going to go up the mountain?
Besides, the back mountain is the cemetery of our Banwan Village.
I went to the cemetery in the middle of the night, and I was picking up cigarette butts on the street - looking for smoke.
I feel that grandpa is not going to commit suicide for a day, so he will feel uncomfortable all over, right?
I couldn't help but feel a little scared and said stammeringly: "Grandpa...Grandpa...What are we going to the back mountain in the middle of the night?"
To be honest, I refused in my heart. Even if I don’t believe there are ghosts in the world, it is still difficult to accept psychologically.
Grandpa's thick eyebrows were all frowned into a horoscope, and the wrinkles on his forehead had several layers. He said with a serious look: "Don't ask too much. If you want to survive, do what I said! Remember, come to me tomorrow at twelve o'clock, don't be early or late, have you heard it clearly?"
Looking at my grandfather's serious appearance, my little heart was so excited that I was about to jump out.
I thought to myself, you old man is very bad. You know something but don’t tell me. Isn’t this obviously torture?
Looking at my grandfather’s solemn expression, I realized that this time, I was really in trouble.
However, by the way, the old man is not simple, he also has two tricks. He knows astronomy and geography, the five elements and eight trigrams, yin and yang and feng shui, and he knows a little about everything. I think as long as he takes action himself, this is not a problem.
I didn't ask too much, and quickly nodded and said, "Okay."
After saying that, my grandfather took the half-burned little paper man, and he was lost in his mind, muttering in his mouth, not knowing what he was muttering.
After such a fuss, I was not in the mood to go to work.
I went home early and started preparing.
When the sun set, I followed my grandfather's instructions and placed three steamed buns and a piece of pork on the offering platform, and lit two white candles on both sides of the table.
I bowed respectfully and went back to the house to sleep.
I personally think that the old man is too mysterious. Isn’t it just that the villain stitched a single eye? As for?
At night, I woke up from my sleep again.
Sweat all over, sat up, looking at the empty bed, I thought she was going to the bathroom, so I called out twice: "Wife, wife..."
To be continued...
