Doomed Destiny - C53

Slowly, I opened my eyes. He found himself lying on the side of the road. A few dirty dogs were sniffing around me. When I looked again, I was naked. Not far away, he saw a trash pit. Inside, there were a few pieces of clothes that had been discarded by other families. I dismissed the dogs, jumped into the trash, picked up the rags, shook them, and put them on.

His tattered clothes stank, and there were a few holes in them. Of course, the size wasn’t right either. It looked big on me. Better than nothing. After leaving the trash pit, they walked east for a short distance before arriving at the entrance of a village. It also looked familiar. Wasn’t this my grandma’s village?

It was already dawn. The sun was high and bright. Some villagers looked at me with loathing in their eyes and avoided me, as if they were looking at a beggar. The village was huge. I walked two kilometers before I reached the center of the village. Turning right, I turned into the alley of my grandmother’s house.

It was a big alley. Inside was a spirit shed. Logically speaking, the shed should be bustling with noise after the event. But what I saw was a desolate scene. It was as if the white matter was over and only the shed was left. Could it be that I was delayed for an entire night? However, this piece of grass was still lying on the ground. Why didn’t he bring it to the grave to be burned?

I lifted a piece of cloth into the shed and saw a black coffin parked in the center. On the altar was the portrait of my Second Uncle.

In the long and wide alley, there was only a group of sparrows bustling about under the sunlight, but not a single person could be seen. I wondered what was going on, and went on through the shed until I came to the gate of my grandmother’s house.

In this broad daylight, his family had once again gone to waste time. But her front door was closed. So I banged on the door and shouted, “Is there anyone here? “Hurry and open the door for me!”

After a while, the door opened wide and a head popped out to look at me. I know him. He’s my seventeen year old cousin, the one who looks down on me. I asked what was the point of closing the door during the day. Instead, he asked me, What are you doing here!

“Talented, who is it?” My grandmother’s voice came from inside.

“Grandma, it’s my aunt’s pot!” the cousin replied.

“He’s here! Quick, let him in!” His grandma’s voice sounded somewhat anxious.

“Why do you want him to enter our house? If I see him, a hundred of me will be enough! ” Reluctantly, his cousin still guarded the door.

“Talent, what do you know! Quick, let your brother in! If you don’t listen, I’ll prick you with a needle! ” Grandma was angry.

So my cousin opened the door and let me into the yard. He even slanted his eyes at me and said that he was ugly and didn’t know how to dress up properly. This time, he even pretended to be a beggar with a stench.

I stopped and pointed at my own face. “Talent, let’s be honest. Isn’t my face better looking than yours?”

“You can drop it! How can you be as good-looking as me! In terms of body and face, you can’t even compare to me! I’ll kill you in a second! ” The cousin smiled.

Grandma walked over, looking at me, then looking at his cousin, and said: “In terms of face, Shier is still the most beautiful. To be honest, if Shier had a body like yours, he would be a celebrity on TV! ”

His cousin was instantly angered, clenching his fists and glaring at his grandmother, he shouted: “Old woman, are you blind! Words were like farts! The stench was so strong! I don’t like to hear you talk! ”

Grandma was so angry that her frail, stooped body trembled. She pointed at him and said, “Bastard grandson! If you scold me again, I’ll go back to my room and prick you with a needle! ”

The cousin laughed and pointed at her. “You call me a bastard grandson. Then I happen to be your grandson. If I were your grandson, wouldn’t you be the old bastard? ”

Grandma was so angry that she started laughing, saying, “You immoral grandson, why are you blabbering like that? Scram to the side!”

As my cousin came around me, he suddenly kicked me. Caught off guard, I plopped to the ground. He quickly got up from the ground and saw a saber lying on the windowsill. He ran over to grab it and rushed towards his cousin. He brandished the sword and tried to chop him up.

His cousin was so scared that his face changed. He quickly took a few steps back and shouted, “Brother, brother, brother don’t!” Brother, please don’t! I was wrong! ” Grandma at the side tremblingly roared: “Jin Shi, you can’t! This was clearly Cousin Jing! Jin Shi! ”

I stopped waving and pointed my saber at my cousin, warning him, “Boy, don’t be too arrogant. Even if I don’t kill you today. In the future, if you don’t cure your rampant bad habits, there will be a day when someone else will kill you! What the heck is there to be so arrogant about? All day long, you look down on this fellow. What qualifications do you have? Do you think you’re good-looking? This world is so much better looking than you! ”

The cousin smiled bitterly and said, “Brother, I will change! Can’t I change it? Put down your sabre first! ”

I threw the knife and followed my grandmother into the house.

Grandma closed the door and inserted the iron pin. It was all done mysteriously. She sat me down on a stool and moved a stool across from me. He didn’t speak at first, but looked at me shaking his head and sighing. The facial features of his face were all scrunched up together.

“What’s wrong, Grandma?” I couldn’t help but ask.

“Didn’t your Second Uncle die!”

“Yeah, what’s wrong?”

“He’s alive again!”

“Alive? You saw it? ”

“That night, I was asleep in my bed,” said my grandmother. Feeling a hand on my face, I opened my eyes and saw a guy with a big round black head. Startled, I sat up in bed. Under the moonlight, it turned out to be a man wearing a jar on his head. I asked who. He said you’d take the jar off my head and look at it yourself.

Seeing him stretch out his neck towards me, I reached out my hands to grab the jar and pulled it out from his head. Because I didn’t turn on the light and only used the moonlight, my eyes were not too good. But upon thinking about it, I thought your Second Uncle was already dead, and thought it couldn’t possibly be him. Maybe your Eldest Uncle is just trying to scare me, because your Eldest Uncle looks a little similar to your Second Uncle.

So I got out of bed and turned on the light. With the light shining down on him, I could see his face. God! He is your Second Uncle! ” At this point, “Pa!” His grandma slapped her thigh, her eyes wide and excited.

I saw that their legs were as thin as sticks, they were at least a handful of years old, and their bones were about as bad as usual, so I hurriedly advised, “Grandmother, don’t get too excited yet. Why are you slapping your legs so hard? What do you want to do with your legs?”

Grandma continued, “I thought I was seeing things for a while, or maybe I was suffering from hysteria. “He rubbed his eyes and slapped his head twice.” He raised his hand and pointed at his head, “My head was swollen from the two slaps, but it still hurts! But from what I see, that person is your Second Uncle! At that time, I was so scared that I almost died, so I shouted loudly for someone to come!

“No one came even after shouting for half a day. And the man just looked at me and laughed and didn’t talk to me. I asked him who the hell you were. He said, Mom, can’t you see. The moment I heard him call me mother, I was 100% sure that he was your Second Uncle. It scared me to the point of peeing my pants, and it scared me to the point of peeing my pants.

I say, Er Xiao, Ye’er did not mistreat you when you were still alive. I was obviously biased towards you two, causing your brother and your sister-in-law to constantly criticize me, quarreling with me for so many times, I have never changed. If there’s anything good left for you to do, I will leave it all to you. Since you’re dead, let’s not talk about losing a backer. But don’t scare me like this again! Let me show you what I can do!

That person said, ‘Mother, I have died unjustly. I died without knowing why!’

I say, Er Xiao, what do you want?

That person said, Mother, go and call Jin Shi over. Then, you can use this jar to cover his head and I will die in peace.

I looked at the jar that I threw on the bed. I couldn’t figure it out, so I asked Jin Shi what was the use of wearing a jar over his head.

That person said, Mother, don’t ask so much, I won’t harm Jin Shi anyway. That child Jin Shi has a bitter life, I want to change his fate.

I thought it was even rarer, saying that wearing a jar on my head can change my fate, why don’t you let me try covering my head first!

The man just smiled again and opened the door and went out without another word.

I carried the jar on the bed and looked at it. It was very heavy, and it was completely empty. It looked no different from the jar we usually use to pickle vegetables. I wanted to try it on myself, but then I thought, what if this dead man brought me something that I can’t turn around in? “So, I didn’t dare to wear it, so I put it on the table, climbed onto the bed, and went to sleep!”

At this point, Grandma paused, picked up the teacup from the table, looked at it, and put it back on the table. She looked at me with a worried face and sighed. I got up, found the thermos, poured water into my glass, and said I wasn’t thirsty. Grandma raised her water glass and blew on it. After taking two sips, she continued, “The next morning, I went to the shed and told everyone present what happened to me last night.

Everyone was shocked. He quickly surrounded the coffin to inspect it. At that time, the coffin had not been nailed to the ground. Only the lid had been placed on it. Everyone lifted the lid of the coffin and saw that your Second Uncle’s body was still lying there. There was also the yellow paper covering the corpse’s face. The torn sorghum stalks had been stuck in place.

The person just said, how does this corpse look like it has been moved? Old granny, are you having nightmares or playing around?

There were also some who said that the Old Granny really did not want Er Xiao to die.

I said I was all right, there was nothing wrong with me, I really didn’t lie to you.

And ask about the few people who were guarding your Second Uncle at night. They said they sat up all night playing poker. Just stay close to the coffin. If anything happens inside, how can you not know, not to mention the body inside that opened the heavy lid of the coffin and came out. Everything was fine, nothing strange had happened.

I see no one believes me. In a hurry, he returned home with the jar. That the jar was evidence. The others all laughed and said that I was becoming more and more adept at tormenting others. A fool said, “Auntie, then let me change my mind and wear this crock of yours. Let’s see if I can get a wife next year.” and snatched the jar from my hands and covered his head! “
