Chapter 8: The Dying

At first, no one believed what a mad widow said, but in the spring of the following year, there were two old people in the village who felt an itch in the middle of the night in the middle of the night, who opened their eyes in a daze, and found that the old lady was holding her grandson and standing in front of the kang and laughing at them, and it didn't take long for the two old men to really die, it is said that they both opened their mouths wide when they died, and their mouths were full of moss.

"The frightened villagers hurriedly called the police, and the police came to search, and sure enough, the body of Cheng Lao Wu and his daughter was found in the grove outside the village, and this girl was Cheng Jiaojiao, who you saw later at school and often took her home.

"But the police did not recover the bodies of Cheng Laowu, his wife and his son in the well, and no one knows where they went..."

Hearing this, my mother was worried, and she was afraid that Cheng Jiaojiao would become a ghost and harm me, so she hurriedly asked Grandpa Zhang if there was any way to get Cheng Jiaojiao out of there.

Grandpa Zhang listened, but shook his head at her with a smile: "Why let that little girl leave, she didn't do anything wrong, and she didn't hurt anyone." Alas, what a poor girl. This child was too obsessed with his life, so he repeated the process of going to and from school every day. ”

I also agree with Grandpa Zhang's words, nodding his head constantly, Grandpa Zhang seems to feel my recognition of his point of view, and said to me with relief: "Child, you still have a long way to go, remember, you must maintain a good heart, no matter what you will become in the future, don't take the initiative to hurt others, especially those who are weaker than you, people are actually born equal, no one is worse than whom, you know?" ”

Actually, I didn't understand what I heard at the time, but I still nodded seriously, strange to say, since that day, I haven't seen the process Jiaojiao, in fact, I still want to see her, I want to talk to her well, I want to take her back to her house every afternoon after school, I don't want her to go so hard...

It's just that there was something we didn't know at that time, it turned out that this Mawang Village was the "Xinjietun" in the Republic of China...

Cheng Jiaojiao's matter has come to an end for the time being, and I repeated the process of going to and from school as usual, although it was a little boring, but it was also very fulfilling.

Time does not stop because of the loss of anyone, and so does life.

In the autumn of 2002, I was in the third grade, my father said that he was in a hurry to go back to Zhucheng, originally planned to wait for the winter vacation during the Chinese New Year this year, let my mother lead me back to Zhucheng to see my grandfather, but it was just late autumn, a call from Zhucheng completely disrupted our plans, my father said on the other end of the phone that grandpa was very sick, let us both go back quickly.

When I heard the news, I didn't want to believe it, I was talking to my grandfather on the phone a few days ago, how could it be like this all of a sudden?

In fact, grandpa has been very sick for a long time, and my father rushed back this time to accompany my grandfather for treatment, but this time God did not favor him, perhaps, his limit is really coming, and grandpa also feels that he is dying, so he has to see me, so my mother went to school and asked me for a long vacation.

Then the two of us hurriedly set out on the journey home.

In fact, I really don't remember this paragraph, maybe it's too sad, the memory seems to be faulty here, I only remember returning to Zhucheng, after entering the house, I saw my father who drank too much in the outhouse, grandma hiding secretly wiping her tears, and grandpa, I can't even sit up.

Grandpa heard my voice, raised his hand and patted the edge of the kang with all his strength, hoping that I would go in.

When I stepped forward, my grandfather grabbed my hand with his trembling hand with great difficulty, his throat kept shaking, he tried for a long time, but he couldn't speak, and finally he seemed to give up, and smiled at me helplessly, although grandpa was smiling at me, but the beads of sweat on his forehead told me that at this moment, he was in pain, and it took five minutes before he finally squeezed out a sentence from his mouth with difficulty: "Hehe, are you back?" ”

I wanted to cry at the time, but I kept holding back, I couldn't let my grandfather see me sad, or he would be more at ease with me, thinking of this, I nodded, and replied to my grandfather: "I'm back, grandpa, you must get better quickly, I'm still waiting for you to take me out to play!" ”

Grandpa couldn't help but sigh after listening to my words, I think he probably knew that he was dying, so he sighed.

I lived in Zhucheng for less than a month, one night, I had a very strange dream, in the dream I was playing alone in the sand, a carriage sound came through, I turned my head and saw that it was my grandfather driving a small carriage, calling me not far away, I saw him want him to run over, but I always couldn't catch up with him, he beckoned to me not far away, smiled at me, I was in a hurry, shouted twice, "Grandpa." ”

Then I woke up ...

All this, it seems that the next afternoon suddenly changed for the better, grandpa was able to speak, and he actually sat up from the kang by himself!

The first thing my grandfather said was, "Little crane," and my father hurriedly brought me to see him, and my grandfather was very happy to see me, and took me in his arms, and told my grandmother that he was hungry, and my grandmother listened and went to prepare a meal for him.

I thought that grandpa was fine, and willfully wanted grandpa to take me out to play, but my mother grabbed me, she shook her head at me, signaling me not to do that, I turned my head to look at my father, he was secretly shedding tears.

Standing outside the house, the two uncles were also silent, after a few hours, all the relatives and friends came, crowded the room, grandpa called the second and third uncles together, what the four of them were talking about in the house I don't know, but I saw from the window that my dad knelt down for grandpa, and the second and third uncles also cried, as if to comfort grandpa, but grandpa shook his head with a smile, patted the third uncle's shoulder, and pulled the hands of their three brothers together.

Later, I heard my dad say that it was my grandfather who knew that he was about to die, so he told my dad in a serious tone: "Child, don't drift outside, the fallen leaves always have to return to the roots, so come back!" Take good care of Xiaohe and his mother, don't let them be wronged.! ”

After telling my father, my grandfather told the second uncle and the third uncle again, asking them to be filial to their grandmother, let the father and the second uncle worry more, and solve the marriage of the third uncle.

After explaining everything, grandpa's life is about to come to an end...

Perhaps, what he cares about the most is me after all.

Grandpa smiled kindly at me through the window, and he raised his hand to the window, as if he was going to touch my face through the window.

When grandpa held me in his arms for the last time, he finally cried when he was smiling, and said to me in a choked voice: "Hehe, grandpa can't accompany you anymore, you have to be well-behaved, listen to your parents, if your dad beats you in the future, you will run, grandpa can no longer protect you." You will always be my good grandson. ”

As soon as I heard my grandfather say this, I couldn't control my emotions anymore, I cried at the time, and after that, my grandfather's tone became more and more urgent, and it didn't take long for me to be completely speechless, but he still hugged me tightly, more and more tightly, until Dad they came up to pull us away, and all the relatives and friends outside came in, I was pulled out by an adult, and I couldn't squeeze in if I wanted to, and after about half an hour, there was a sudden cry in the house, I know, the grandfather who loved me the most left like this, and never came back...
