Doomed Destiny - C48
After being silent for a long time, Grandmother Gao Zu, Hu Shizhen, said to me sternly, “Jin Shi, you can fool others, but not me! You’d better not go too far! I don’t mind telling you that it’s not like no one can’t take care of you! ”
I smiled bitterly and said, “Granny GaoZu, I don’t even understand what you’re saying!”
“Humph!” What are you pretending for! “I think the biggest villain in this world is you!”
“Truly unjustly accused! I’ve always been honest and never did anything bad. Only someone else would dare to bully me! ”
Hu Shizhen walked away with her grandfather’s support and her walking stick at the same time. I noticed that her breasts were a lot fuller than they had been when I’d seen her, and they trembled even as she walked carefully. This was absolutely not the image of a person becoming older and older.
I went back to the west room and looked up at the wedding photos on the wall.
Not long later, the white-suited “I” on the wedding photo spoke out, “Jin Shi, you’ve committed another huge crime! “One Zhao Huangchao, over a thousand of them, will be wiped clean by you!”
“I didn’t kill anyone!” I shook my head.
The “I” in the white suit on the wedding photo grinned. There was an indescribable cynicism in the smile.
I said, “The villagers in Zhao Huang Village died last night. I have proof that I was at home last night. My grandfather was a witness. Didn’t he keep an eye on me last night? Keep an eye on me until daybreak! ”
The “I” in the white suit on the wedding photo said, “Don’t argue anymore, you killed him! There was no doubt about that! Others might not know how capable you are, but it can’t be that I don’t know! ”
I bitterly smiled. “Just what ability do I have that I don’t even know!”
“Jin Shi, if there’s nothing else, from now on, don’t look for me to talk!”
“What is it?”
“After all, someone is watching us. I was afraid that he would snitch again! ”
“A snitch to the sky?”
The “I” in the white suit on the wedding photo stopped talking, returned to normal, and stood still.
Grandfather suddenly barged in, an axe in his hand. This gave me a fright. “What are you doing?”
“Jin Shi, I heard you talking! Who are you talking to? ”
I didn’t answer, just looked at him warily.
“Don’t tell me you still have yellow skin at home? Are you enchanted by yellow skin again!?” His grandfather rummaged through the house looking for something as he spoke.
“How can there be so much yellow skin!” Don’t roll around, make a mess of the house! ” I said disapprovingly.
Grandpa refused to listen to me and continued to rummage through.
Grandmother Gao Zu, with a cane, Hu Shizhen slowly walked in. Stand beside me. She slowly raised her head, and the two burn marks on her face were aimed at the wedding photo on the wall. As if she could see.
I couldn’t help but worry.
After a while, Pappy searched everywhere. She said, “Granny Nine, I didn’t find any more weasels!”
“There must be more skin in this house!” I smell it! ” Hu Shizhen said with certainty.
“I’ve searched everywhere I could find this room, but I couldn’t find it!”
“San Geda, go stand on the bed and take a look at the wedding photo hanging on the wall. The yellow cover is hidden behind the wedding photo!”
Hearing Hu Shizhen’s words, I immediately felt more at ease. She didn’t seem to have discovered the secret of the wedding photos.
Grandpa went to bed, looking a little nervous, holding the axe in one hand and slowly lifting the wedding photo with the other. As expected, he saw a hole in the wall. There was a pair of red eyes in the hole. Those eyes made people feel dizzy when they looked at them. With a loud cry, his hands immediately let go of the wedding photo and collapsed onto the bed. He threw away the axe and covered his face with his hands.
The wedding photo returned to its original position, blocking the hole in the wall.
“What is it?” Grandmother Gao Zu asked Hu Shizhen.
“I saw two needles pierce my eyes with those red eyes of his!” Pappy rubbed his eyes.
Hu Shizhen said: “That’s not true, what you saw was an illusion!”
Pappy let go, blinked his eyes a few times, and shook his head again. I thought my eyes were going blind. That’s okay! ”
“Hurry and catch this yellow skin, it’s going to return the favor!”
“Let me take a fire stick and stab it to death! It’s hidden in the hole, and I can’t cut it with an axe! ” With that, he got out of bed and left the west room to find a fire stick in the kitchen.
After a while, Pappy ran in with a red-hot iron stick in his hand. He jumped on the bed, quickly lifted the wedding photo, and stuck the stick into the hole in the wall. The weasel within the cave let out a shrill scream as it struggled. A puff of green smoke came out, emitting the smell of burning flesh.
As the screams faded away, the weasel stopped moving. It’s dead. Pappy pulled the fire stick out of the hole in the wall with the weasel’s body. It turned out that the fire stick had pierced through the weasel’s body.
When Pappy put the wedding photo back in place, I saw that there were two small holes in the wedding photo, and the two little red buttons on the bride’s dress were gone. It turned out that before the weasel was killed, it had hidden behind the wedding dress and looked at me through two small holes.
“There are two ways to confuse people,” said Grandma Gao Zu, Hu Shizhen. One was a special medicine that she had obtained from god knows where. The smell of the fart that she had released after eating it had the effects of numbing and disturbing the nerves in one’s brain. The other is through its eyes and the person’s eyes, causing hallucinations and mental derangement. Especially the red-eyed weasel, his charm is the strongest. ”
After pausing for a moment, Hu Shizhen turned her face towards me, and said: “Especially lonely people like you, because of the emptiness in your mind, and the thirst for communication, you are the easiest to fall for the enticing spell of the weasel!”
I didn’t say anything. My heart was filled with a myriad of emotions.
Grandfather revealed a look of worry. “Ninth Grandma, I killed Yellow Great Immortal. Will there be misfortune in the future? ”
Hu Shizhen scolded: “With me here, what are you afraid of!”
“Hehe, with your words, I am relieved!” Pappy rubbed his hands together and laughed.
“Profound grandson! Under the coaxing of the red-eyed weasel, did you see you come down from the wedding photo and say a lot of amazing things to you? ” Hu Shizhen said with a little complacency on her face.
“Yes sir!” I bowed my head, frustrated.
They had thought that some miracle would happen, but it turned out to be just a weasel playing tricks on them! At the same time, I have to admire Hu Shizhen’s power. When people stared at the item that couldn’t be found, she, a blind person, raised her finger and pointed to it. It was undeniable from this point that her nose was extremely sensitive.
“Profound grandson! Go to your father’s grave when you have time! Burn some paper money and incense for him, that’s what you should do! ” Before leaving, Hu Shizhen said those words to me, and then, with grandfather’s support, he left.
I stayed in the west room and looked up at the wedding photos on the wall. For a long time. When the sky turned dark. I never touched the wedding photo in my white suit. My heart was filled with disappointment and emptiness. At the end of the day, I’d rather be bewitched by Yellowhide so that at least one of them could talk to me.
A person’s loneliness, a person’s loneliness. It made me lose interest in life. Unwilling to give face to reality, he would rather indulge in the illusion. Like a drug addict.
Will anyone pity me? There seems to be no one but myself.
Would the heavens pity me? I don’t think so.
My world is filled with loneliness and emptiness.
Was there any use in crying?
Slowly, in the thick darkness, I raised my hand and wiped the tears from my face.
At night, my stomach was sick with hunger. I went to the fields to break some corn cobs and then put them in the pot to boil. The corn was old and hard to gnaw on. But it can eat. I gnawed off some of the spikes and drank a bowl of water. His stomach was full.
There was nothing to do at home. I can’t sleep. I found some of the gold foil that had been left at home and piled up a pile of ingots. He brought another handful of incense and a candle. He carried another shovel to the ancestral grave. To my dead father.
After passing through several hundred meters of the corn jungle, I came to the ancestral grave. He found his father’s grave and dug a shallow hole in front of it. He stuck the candle inside, then poured out the paper ingot and lit it with fire. Under the flickering light of the flames, I kowtowed three times to the grave and sat on the ground, crying.
I cried harder and harder when I thought of the unhappiness of life.
After crying, I blew my nose. He stood up from the ground. Ready to go. But then he realized it was a new grave. The earth was still soft on the grave. It’s easy to get out of the hole when it rains. Didn’t it rain heavily last time? So I thought I’d find a hole for the grave and fill it up with a shovel.
Then I carried the shovel to the grave and went around to the back. I found the first hole. “It has a diameter of fifty to sixty centimeters, which is sufficient for a person to enter or leave.” It can’t be that we met a tomb robber, right? ” I pressed the lighter down and reached into the big hole.
The hole was quite deep, and standing by the grave, he couldn’t reach the bottom with his lighter. So I got down on my hands and knees and started crawling in with the lighter. Unknowingly, I crawled into the grave. And the coffin. There was also a large hole in the coffin. I slapped my leg in anger and cursed, “Crap, the tomb robber has come to visit!”
After a moment’s hesitation, I crawled forward and stuck my head into the coffin through the hole. It was empty, and my father’s body was nowhere to be seen.
“It can’t be that the grave robber stole my father’s corpse and sold it to a dead single daughter, making the marriage a match one with Yin, right?!” While I was lost in my thoughts, a loud shout suddenly came from outside, “Who is it?!”
