In this way, grandma was buried.
From her tragic death to her burial, it only took one day.
In one day, a large living person was gone.
The layer of gloom and sadness that enveloped the home was so overwhelming that people couldn't breathe.
I thought, what would happen if the second uncle and aunts really opened the coffin and saw the tragic death of grandma?
But they don't dare, they are afraid of grandpa.
I'm afraid too, but I'm even more afraid of that drum, because of which everything started, and that beautiful woman.
But for such an ominous thing, my grandfather enshrined it in the incense hall. Every day, my grandfather would cut my right middle finger with a knife and drip my blood on the drum.
It hurts, but I dare not resist.
But nothing happened in my family after that. My uncles and aunts were still very worried about grandma's death, but it gradually faded away as time went by.
It's just me. Every time I think of the scene of my grandma's tragic death, I tremble all over, so that my personality has become a little withdrawn since then.
But do you think that's the end of it? No, this is just the beginning.
Time flies, twelve years passed in the blink of an eye. At the age of eighteen, I was admitted to university. I was the first college student in our village.
Everyone was beaming with joy and sent me out of the village with gongs and drums beating. Only my grandfather looked terribly serious. He took a puff of dry cigarette and said to himself: "Twelve years have come and my grandson still has to die."
Life in college was not easy because I had nightmares every day about the beautiful woman who gave me the tambourine.
Her eyebrows were curved with willow leaves, her eyes were like autumn water, and she smiled at me charmingly.
"Little brother, you are so good. My sister gives you something. If you take it home, you will be the soul-killer from now on."
She handed me the drum, and I waved my hands in fear.
"No, I don't want it."
The woman suddenly looked ferocious and grabbed my neck.
"You have to ask for it even if you don't want it, otherwise I will make your whole family suffer a terrible death."
I wake up in a cold sweat every time.
This kind of torment lasted until the first semester of freshman year, and finally, what was supposed to come came.
That day I suddenly received a call from my mother. She said in an urgent tone: "Buy a ticket for the nearest bus and go home quickly. Your grandpa wants to see you."
My heart skipped a beat, could it be that grandpa was going to die too? Is he going to see me for the last time?
I hurried home, but unexpectedly, the scene where my grandfather was dying did not appear.
On the contrary, my grandfather was wearing a bright red shirt and was sitting in the yard waiting for me happily. My parents were also there, but they lowered their heads and looked depressed, which was in sharp contrast to my grandfather's joy.
This scene is a bit weird.
"Grandpa, what are you..."
Grandpa held my hand and said, "I called you back because I want to do a big thing for you."
"What's the big deal?"
"Your lifelong event."
"Grandpa wants to marry you a wife."
I was confused.
"Marry... marry a wife? No, Grandpa, I'm still in school, what kind of wife should I marry?" The two-year-old monk was confused.
"My life is almost gone, so why go to school? Only by marrying a wife can I save my life," said the grandfather.
I was even more confused and turned to look at my parents. Their faces were bitter and their heads were lowered.
Suddenly, there was a burst of giggles at the door, and a fat woman ran in crazily.
"Hey hey hey, get a wife, get a wife... Xiao Cui is going to get a wife."
I recognized at a glance that this woman was the fool Cui Gu in our village. She was not only stupid but also ugly. Her clothes were dirty and she was drooling.
When I was a child, I threw stones at her and played tricks on her with my friends.
Why did she come to my house?
I frowned slightly. This fool smelled bad. He hadn't taken a shower for who knows how long?
Unexpectedly, the next second, Cuigu suddenly rushed towards me and hugged me.
"Hey, get a wife, get a wife."
I smelled a pungent odor and pushed her to the ground with my backhand.
"Get away from me, you idiot."
But my grandfather scolded me: "Tianqi, don't be rude. From now on, you must be nicer to Cui Gu, and your husband and wife must love each other."
After hearing this, I felt like I was struck by lightning.
"Grandpa, you, what did you say?"
Grandpa walked over and helped Cui Gu up.
"Cuigu, does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt, hehe, hehe, get a wife..."
Grandpa said: "It's not that you want to get a wife, but that you want to marry someone. Will you marry my Tianqi?"
"I do, hehe, I do..."
Cui Gu smiled like a flower and opened her arms towards me.
"Little hubby, hey, give me a hug, give me a hug..."
My head was buzzing, like someone had slapped me in the face.
"Grandpa, you..."
Grandpa said sternly: "The daughter-in-law Grandpa wants to marry you is Cuigu."
I almost fell over. Damn it, my grandfather suddenly wanted to marry me a wife, and she was married to a fool.
"Grandpa, stop joking with me."
"Seriously, when did grandpa make a joke to you?"
"The day after tomorrow, I will hold a wedding for you and Cuigu."
After speaking, Grandpa turned around and went into the house, leaving me stunned.
