Yellow River Tricks

Chapter 6: Grandpa's last words

Views:

Qin Que looked at me and asked, "Zhang Sheng, are you not your grandfather's grandson?"

After hearing it, I was stunned for a few seconds.

Because of this incident, when I was a child, my grandfather joked with me, saying that I was taken down by a coffin in the Yellow River.

At this time, I was a little surprised when I heard Qin Que asked me this way. I started to tell Qin Que the story my grandfather told me when he was a child, and added a sentence, saying that grandpa must be joking.

Qin Que hummed faintly, with a meaningful smile on his face.

Then I started to walk towards the house with me, I also wanted to ask Qin Que, why not go to Huang Duangong first.

Qin Que said to me, "Zhang Sheng, don't you want to see your grandfather for the last time?"

After hearing these words, my heart sank immediately, and I quickly asked Qin Que, "Master, what do you mean by this?"

Qin Que didn't tell me clearly, saying that he would know when I got home.

I was anxious, so I ran home, but as soon as I was halfway there, I ran into Erhu. Erhu was also out of breath. After seeing me, I said, "Zhang Sheng, hurry up." Go back, something happened to your grandpa."

Qin Que was really right. I asked Erhu, what happened to my grandfather

Erhu replied to me: "What else could be? When I was collecting the corpse, I fell into the water, and then choked in with a mouthful of water, but didn't spit it out."

I thought to myself how could it be possible. Grandpa has been fishing for corpses by the Yellow River for so many years.

But when I got home, I saw my grandpa lying wet and wearing it, and his face was pale. I was stupid at the time. I almost hesitated for a few seconds before my emotions collapsed. I stepped forward and called to my grandpa, but no matter what No matter how I yelled, my grandfather didn't move.

And touching my grandpa's body may have been dead for several hours.

The corpse was stiff and cold, and Erhu quickly persuaded me: "Zhang Sheng, don't cry, hurry up and take care of your grandfather's funeral."

Erhu took a drum and ran out and started beating. Our village has such a rule that if someone in someone's family has passed away, he must use such a drum to notify the rest of the village.

Soon there were many people in my yard, and everyone was talking quietly.

I heard someone say whether it was the 14 coffins dug out that killed Zhang Yitian.

"Yes, maybe there is something unclean in the coffin."

Because the fourteen coffins are still on my homestead at this time, the place where my grandfather is lying now is a utility room.

"Wait later, the contents of the coffin won't run out, harm the rest of the village."

With these few words, everyone suddenly became a little panicked. In the end, Erhu said: "Don't talk nonsense, Uncle Zhang, it is clearly an accident when you were fishing for a corpse, and it has nothing to do with the coffin. "

The words of Erhu promptly calmed everyone's mind.

At this time, my master Qin Que also walked in. After seeing Qin Que, I immediately asked, "Master, how did my grandfather die?"

I really don't believe that if my grandpa is so watery, he will be drowned.

Qin Que calmed my emotions first, and then said, "Your grandfather's palace is dark and sunken. There is such a catastrophe in his fate. This is his fate, so, Zhang Sheng, you don't have to be sad."

Hearing Qin Que's words like this, I became a little excited and said, "Master, did you know that my grandfather was going to have an accident? Why didn't you tell me?"

Qin Que was not affected by my emotions, and then said, "Zhang Sheng, is it useful even if I tell you? Even if your grandfather is not drowned today, there will be other accidents."

Qin Que's words suddenly made me feel like a frustrated ball, and I didn't know what to say for a while.

There is a saying that Hades makes you die for the third watch, and you will never survive the fifth watch.

Qin Que patted me on the shoulder and said, "Zhang Sheng, let your grandfather prepare for the funeral as soon as possible."

To be honest, I grew up with my grandfather, so I have a deep affection for him. At this time, my grandfather left, and I seemed to be desperate. My grandfather didn't ask a wife for a lifetime, so he brought me up.

So my grandfather's death hit me a lot. But now I have no other way, I can only accept it.

I adjusted my emotions, and then confided my grandfather.

Erhu went to help me set up a mourning hall.

And I began to pack up my grandfather's belongings. After the old man in the village died, he had to let his offspring bathe him and then put on a new suit, which meant that he would go on the road cleanly.

When I was helping my grandfather change clothes, I took out a piece of paper from my grandfather’s pocket. The paper was soaked with water. I opened the paper, and the writing on it was soaked in water. , But fortunately, it does not affect reading.

I looked at the above content, and soon I was stunned.

It says, Zhang Sheng, if I have an accident, don't worry about the funeral. It's best to be buried at 12 o'clock in the evening. Do not erect a monument for burial. You must listen to Grandpa about this matter. The final signature is Zhang Yitian.

Looking at the content on the note, I couldn't believe it. Did Grandpa predict that he was going to die

Suddenly, I felt my head buzzing. I held the piece of paper and quickly ran to look for Erhu.

I told Erhu about the matter, and Erhu also looked dazed. But he said to me: "Your grandfather must do this for a reason. Let's listen to your grandfather."

I thought about it for a while and felt that I respected my grandpa's decision.

I also asked my master Qin Que, Qin Que didn't say anything, let me figure it out.

Because it was too late tonight, it was not until the next night that I did what my grandfather said.

When it was twelve o'clock in the evening, the corpse scavengers and I put my grandfather's coffin in it. I don't know how uncomfortable it would be.

After the grandfather was buried, it was already a little too much. Erhu and the others went back to rest.

But I didn't leave at Grandpa's grave. I was talking to Grandpa and burning paper money. I said, "Grandpa, if you have any needs below, please give me a dream." Grandpa left too suddenly, leaving me completely unprepared.

Just as I was kneeling and talking, my master's voice suddenly sounded behind me.

At this time, there are no people around here, just me and the master. In fact, I still feel that my grandfather's death is not easy, and there must be a problem.

I asked Qin Que, "Master, was my grandfather killed by someone?"

Qin Que shook his head, neither saying yes nor saying no, and then changed the subject and said, "Zhang Sheng, didn't you say you are going to see Huang Duangong? We can pass now."
