As soon as I heard this, my face turned pale on the spot!
If four people died in the village last night, it doesn't take much to think about it. It must be Li Quande and Li Baoguo.
So did they die after burying me alive, or did they die before burying me alive?
In fact, I have the answer in my heart. Thinking about the weird looks of the few of them at that time, it is very problematic. Besides, who in the right mind would put a living person into a coffin and bury it?
Thinking of this, my scalp felt numb.
What on earth is going on? What on earth did my grandfather do?
When I got home, I found that there were white lanterns hanging on the door of our house, which was obviously a funeral ceremony.
Who can die in our family at this time? I can guess without even thinking, it must be my grandfather.
Sure enough, as soon as I entered the main room, I saw my grandfather's body placed on the straw mat nearby.
In fact, this is not sudden for me, but I can't understand why I was obviously put into a coffin and buried alive, but in the end it was my grandfather who died? Is it just because I survived? Or is it that only one of us can live?
Of course I have no way of knowing the answer, because my grandfather will never be able to answer my question!
There were always people coming in and out of the house, and I didn't know what to do for a while. In fact, I couldn't help with this kind of thing.
So I simply went back to my house and shut out all these trivial matters of life.
In the afternoon, the carpenter who made the coffin arrived, and the sound of "ding, bang, bang, bang" in the yard continued into the evening.
It was almost dinner time when my father opened my door and walked in with a tired look on his face.
"are you OK?"
When my father faced me, he seemed a little guilty.
"Yeah, not bad."
I didn't know what to say, so I could only nod.
My father sighed, then looked out the door, and said with some seriousness: "Your grandfather is really difficult to understand sometimes, but he is my father after all. He is dead now anyway, let's forget about the past. , don’t bear any grudge against him for this matter.”
I nodded and said nothing because I really didn’t know what to say. After all, there were some things that only my grandfather and I knew.
I heard from my father that my grandfather passed away this morning. Before he died, he told my father where to bury me, but he also said that if I died, just bury me directly in that hole.
It seems that my grandfather is not sure whether I will survive, just like nineteen years ago!
In the final analysis, I am too tough on life. I went to hell twice, but I still survived in the end.
I lit a cigarette and smoked silently, not shying away from my father. Everyone smoked anyway, so there was nothing to shy away from.
"A man comes to you and says that he made a marriage arrangement with your grandfather before and booked it for you."
My father raised his hand as he spoke. I felt that his expression at that time was even more confused than mine!
It took me almost a few seconds to react.
Have you arranged a marriage for me? Why did my grandfather never say that? And even my father didn’t know.
This gave me a very strange feeling, as if my entire life had been arranged by my grandfather. Even though he had passed away, this arrangement still followed me, making me unable to escape.
This is tantamount to arousing my rebellious psychology, giving me a strong impulse to resist, including this marriage.
"What age are we in, and there is still such a thing as an engagement?"
I frowned a lot, mainly because I felt unhappy.
"Why don't you go and have a look first? Your mother is quite fond of that girl. She is very good-looking."
My father said with some embarrassment.
A few black lines suddenly appeared on my forehead. What does it mean to be good-looking? Am I such a superficial person?
And it has nothing to do with me that my mother likes her very much? As long as she looks at a girl about my age, she will basically like her, because she is afraid that I will not be able to find a wife in this life and I will be a bachelor.
In fact, this is understandable. After all, what happened to Li Xiaohua caused quite a stir in the village, so that most people avoided me, let alone marry their own girl to me!
"Fine!"
I sighed and took it as a relief to my mother, just take a look!
I followed my father to the west wing. As soon as I entered the room, I saw a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old sitting on the edge of the kang. She was wearing a red gown and a gray pleated skirt. Her legs were slender and straight. Two ponytails were tied up, and a pair of white sneakers were dangling outside the edge of the kang.
The first impression of this girl is that she is very smart, with exquisite facial features, charming little mouth, fair and translucent skin, and you can even see the veins under her skin. That kind of temperament and appearance definitely don't look like a rural girl.
Since it was my grandfather who arranged this marriage, it would not be good if I refused. After all, the old man has passed away, and it would be a bit unfilial for me to go against his last wish.
Then just agree to it reluctantly!
"Dad, what's her name?"
I quickly asked my father in a low voice.
"This girl's name is Chen Ling, she is the daughter of the Chen family in Wolong Ridge."
My father whispered back. "How about you go up and say hello?"
"forget it!"
I quickly turned around and ran away. It was enough to just take a look. It would be too embarrassing to go up and say hello!
"Didn't you like it?"
My father quickly chased me out and asked me.
"Uh...no."
"Did you fancy it?"
"..."
I was speechless for a moment. How should I answer this? As a father, can you please stop asking such private questions?
"Are you Eleven?"
Suddenly a middle-aged man walked over from the side.
This man was about forty years old, had short hair, and was wearing a black windbreaker, giving him a very capable look.
"This is Chen Ling's father, Mr. Chen Yunqi, please call me Uncle Chen."
My father quickly introduced it from the side.
"Hello, Uncle Chen."
I suddenly became cautious, feeling like a son-in-law meeting his father-in-law.
Chen Yunqi smiled, then touched my head and said, "The young man looks quite capable, how about it? Can you still like my daughter?"
"Uh... sure, sure."
I quickly smiled awkwardly.
I can't be thin-skinned at this time, otherwise if someone thinks that I don't like her and takes the girl away, then I will have no choice but to cry!
"That's good."
Chen Yunqi nodded, then glanced at my father and said, "In-laws, I'll have a chat with Eleven."
"Okay, you can chat whatever you want."
My father quickly went back to the house!
Chen Yunqi and I walked all the way outside the gate, then he lit a cigarette, looked at me and said, "I won't talk in circles with you. Our Chen family is also a Feng Shui family. Our ancestors inherited it from the Feng Shui master Chen Gongxian, and it has been passed down from generation to generation." , in my father's generation, the family is at its peak, the population is prosperous, and it is one of the largest families in Wolong Ridge. It is only because our Chen family owed your grandfather a favor eighteen years ago that we have this family. Marriage."
Chen Yunqi spread his hands as he spoke, "Now that I have brought you here, I have fulfilled my promise. I will tell you the truth!"
As soon as I heard this, I suddenly felt something was wrong. Why did it feel like I was so high up? Or do you mean that you have no regard for ordinary people like us and are just going through the motions?
Chen Yunqi suddenly pointed to his head and said, "This girl Ling'er has some problems here, but she can take care of herself."
"..."
