I was woken up early in the morning and I was still on fire. When the little girl said this, my heart trembled slightly.
"Your grandma, when did you leave?"
I touched the little girl's hair and said softly.
In fact, when I heard her say that grandma was dead, I didn’t know why, but the long-standing memories that had been hidden deep in my heart came to my mind uncontrollably.
Death, this word, is always on my lips lately, but I never take it seriously.
During these days with Uncle Ma, I was used to seeing life and death.
No matter men, women, old or young, beautiful or ugly, good or evil, they all face death.
Some people say that life is like a book, you turn it page by page every day, and sooner or later you have to turn to the last page.
But some people's books are very thick, and some people's books are very thin.
I have never met my grandma. I heard that she fell ill and died when my dad was six years old.
When I was seven years old, my grandma passed away.
When I was eleven years old, my grandfather passed away.
When I was twelve years old, my grandfather passed away.
When I was fourteen, my parents left.
The only aunt who is the best to me has begun to count down her life.
I don’t know why God was so cruel to me. I was already numb now, but when the little girl said her grandma was dead, a tear hanging from the corner of her eye still instantly penetrated my defense.
"My grandma left last month. My neighbor's grandma Zhao said she climbed the chimney. Dad said she went to find grandpa. Mom said grandma turned into a star. But I know that she is actually dead. She When she was alive, she told me that she would go there in the future, and it would be another world. You can only go there after you die, but you can never come back."
The little girl said timidly, I smiled softly and said to her: "Who brought you here? How do you know? I can see if your grandma is living well there?"
The little girl hugged the doll tightly and hesitated before saying, "It's Sister Wenwen. She didn't let me say it."
I was stunned for a moment, then raised my head, and saw Zhang Wenwen standing at the corner, looking at me helplessly.
"Originally, my mother could do it, but my mother didn't agree and said that children should not know this. There was no other way, so I brought her here for you."
I was a little helpless and said to her: "So just hide it and let her tell me. Are you afraid that I will scold you?"
Zhang Wenwen stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you'll scold me for doing such things with children, but she really misses her grandma. She often dreams about her, and she has pestered me and asked me several times. I am also honest. no way."
I asked: "Then how did you do it, bring this little girl here so early in the morning, and don't her parents care?"
Zhang Wenwen said: "Her parents go out to the morning market every day and don't come back until after ten in the morning. Her grandmother used to take her. Today I have a day off, so I said I would take care of her for them all morning."
So that was it. I nodded and called them into the house. However, Uncle Ma was still awake at this time, so I didn’t call him.
Xiaoling sat on the chair, looked at me eagerly, and asked: "Brother, when can you go and see grandma for me?"
I scratched my head and said with a wry smile: "This matter is not that simple, Wenwen, you have seen Guoyin. I don't have that ability now. I have to ask Ma Hu for help."
Zhang Wenwen said: "That won't work for sure. We only have two or three hours, so I have to send her back quickly. Otherwise, if her parents find out, they will definitely be angry and won't agree to do this."
Of course she would not agree. If this were my daughter, I would scold Zhang Wenwen first for bringing such a young child to do dirty things. Isn’t this nonsense?
Besides, we only have two or three hours, and it's not night now. Even if we go to Hu Ma, it's useless, and it's too late.
I guess Mother Hu would scold me.
So I could only refuse this thing and tell them no, I can't do it, it's too difficult.
Xiaoling started crying as soon as she heard it, her tears seemed to be broken, and she talked to me a lot.
She told me that her parents were busy with business and making money every day. They got up at three or four in the morning to fry fried dough sticks for the morning market. After closing the stall, they had to go out to clean the hoods and do various odd jobs, so they couldn't take care of her at all.
She was raised by her grandma, and she sleeps with her every night. But now that her grandma is gone, she feels lonely every day.
Her mother told her that her grandma had become a star, so she lay on the window sill every night, looking at the stars in the sky and thinking about her grandma...
The more she talked, the sadder she became. In the end, it made me very sad, and Zhang Wenwen also cried.
At this time, Uncle Ma walked out of the back room wearing slippers and yawning.
"Who is this, crying so early in the morning, and not letting anyone sleep?"
After walking in, he saw that it was a little girl. Uncle Ma was also stunned. He looked at Zhang Wenwen, then at me, and touched the back of his head in disbelief.
"You two...shouldn't, the child is so old?"
Zhang Wenwen's face turned red, and I quickly smoothed things over: "Uncle Ma, what nonsense are you talking about? We have only known each other for more than a year... No, there is nothing wrong with us at all. Are you sleepwalking?!"
Uncle Ma slapped his forehead and said with a smile: "Why are you ashamed? This matter is nothing. Uncle Ma and I also experienced it when I was young. If I had kept that child at that time, I would have grandchildren now."
I couldn't help but be stunned: "Uncle Ma, didn't you go to Longhu Mountain when you were young?"
"Ah, yes, that's right. If what happened hadn't happened, would I have been able to go to Longhu Mountain? The girl's parents said they wanted to kill me. I hid for more than two years. I went to Longhu Mountain because I really didn't have any recruits. Mountain."
Uncle Ma looked unconcerned. It was also the first time I heard him talk about this matter, and I couldn't tell. This old guy is quite romantic!
"Don't say this in front of children, it's inappropriate for children."
Uncle Ma waved his hand with a kind smile on his face and said to Xiaoling: "I heard it just now. Your grandma is dead. You want to ask us for help to see if she is doing well in the underworld, right? ? But this is a bit difficult, your grandma has turned into a ghost, and ordinary people can’t see her."
Zhang Wenwen and I looked at each other and thought to ourselves, you are the one who is not suitable for children, okay?
If you talk to a six or seven-year-old child about the underworld and ghosts, isn't this going to scare the child? !
Xiaoling was not afraid, she raised her head stubbornly and said, "I don't care, I just miss my grandma. Sister Wenwen said you can see that adults can't lie to children!"
Uncle Ma said: "I can't watch it anyway. It's too troublesome. I have to set up an altar to invite gods and so on... Xiaofan, you might as well ask your old fairy to go down and see what she's doing."
"Me? I can't do it either. You have to go through the underworld according to normal procedures. Besides, you can't just go to a place like the underworld. Even my old immortal can't just..."
When I said this, suddenly an idea flashed in my mind.
It's true that you can't just do it casually. If the relationship isn't strong, it's all in vain.
However, I now have five guardian gods. Didn’t they say yesterday that if anything happens, just say hello? !
