Grandma is dying?
Aunt Wang's words made me confused. I didn't react for a moment. Although I had a bad premonition when Zhou Yuxi told me just now, I would never have thought that it would be... This news!
At that moment, I had no choice but to ask as I walked: "Aunt Wang, can you make it clearer? Although my grandma said she is a bit old, she has always been in good health. How could she say no?"
Although my grandma is over 70 years old, she is still in good health. When I was at home last weekend, my grandma even cooked a table full of dishes for me. She didn’t look like she was in her twilight years at all. She didn’t have any illness or disaster, but she suddenly became ill. It’s true. Not possible?
When Aunt Wang heard me ask, she also questioned: "You ask me, I don't know either? You were chatting with us about household matters last night, and it was a good idea to go out to take out the trash this morning, but suddenly knocked on our door at noon. , told me to come back to you, saying that she felt like she was dying, and if she came back late, she wouldn't be able to see her, so I had no choice but to come here to find you."
suddenly? Did grandma already know that she was going to die?
Because my grandma rented a house next to the school to make it easier for me to go to school, it was only about a 10-minute walk away. As we were talking, we arrived at the alley in front of our house.
But when we arrived at the door of the house, Aunt Wang said to me again: "You can go in by yourself. Your grandma said that no neighbors are allowed in except you. When you come back, just go in."
Grandma, what does this mean? Is there something you want to say to me alone? But at this moment I couldn’t care less about guessing. I don’t know what’s going on with grandma right now, so it’s better to go in and see grandma quickly!
After I pushed the door open and went in, I saw my grandma lying on the bed alone, her body unable to move. Seeing her look like this, my nose felt sore and tears flowed down uncontrollably. His chin hit the ground drop by drop.
I didn't believe it at first, but after seeing it, I couldn't help but not believe it, because the grandma at this time was completely different from the one I saw when I came back last week. Her hair was messy, her eyes were sunken, and her face had more wrinkles. A lot, as if she had aged ten years suddenly. How could grandma have become like this in just a few days?
I rushed forward, knelt down in front of grandma, and grabbed grandma's hand. I couldn't stop crying at this time, and my heart was no longer as simple as being uncomfortable.
This is the grandma who raised me since childhood! This is the grandma who is waiting for me to come back and cook for me day and night! This is a grandma who can’t stop laughing just by looking at me! This is the grandma who is looking forward to me marrying her a grandson-in-law and having a grandson! But at this moment, I was lying in bed and couldn't do anything!
"Grandma, I'm back, your grandson Xiaojiu is back!" I held my grandma's hand, my mouth was blocked with tears and runny nose, and I was almost speechless.
Hearing the sound, grandma opened her eyes, took a hard look at me, tried hard to squeeze out a smile on her wrinkled face, and said inarticulately: "It's... Xiaojiu... is back?"
Grandma stretched out a hand to touch my face. At this time, she seemed to have lost sight.
"Yes... Xiaojiu is back. Grandma, why is this happening? Why is it happening all of a sudden?" I asked hurriedly.
Grandma managed to gather some energy, and said with a smile: "That doesn't matter anymore. Everyone has his own destiny. It is destined by God. It is not something that can be forced." After that, grandma added, "Inside the house Is there no one else?"
I still couldn't stop my tears and said, "No more, grandma, it's just the two of us."
Grandma nodded: "Okay, Xiaojiu, grandma's time is running out... So, you must remember what I say now..."
I held my grandma's hand and couldn't bear to think about it. I sobbed: "Grandma, what are you saying, am I listening?"
Immediately, grandma turned her head away. In her deep eyes, it seemed that her thoughts had returned to a very far away place. She then said: "Maybe my time has come to an end, so if I don't tell you some things, then you Maybe you will never know. Grandma doesn’t want you to live in confusion all your life, because you also have the right to choose your own life. I am on my deathbed and have no worries anymore, so I will tell you everything I need to tell you today. you!"
Hearing grandma say this, my expression also changed. Is grandma going to tell me some secrets about me?
Grandma sighed laboriously, and then said: "Actually, we are not ordinary people...!"
"We have lived in the Maoshan area for generations. In order to distinguish them, the world calls us... Maoshan Taoist priests, or Mr. Yin and Yang! From generation to generation, we have passed down Feng Shui and Kanyu, fortune-telling, subduing demons and other magic techniques. In the end, we have succeeded. But the world can only see the beautiful side of us in front of outsiders, but they don’t know the pain behind us!”
Maoshan Taoist? A brand-new term suddenly struck my heart. Shouldn't this be something that only exists in legends or movies? And the grandma who has been raising me up is actually a Taoist priest from Maoshan? I just thought grandma was weird before, but I wasn’t big enough to think about it in this way!
But this would not allow me to think about it too much. Grandma’s words did not stop.
"Not to mention the hardships we endured while learning art. The five disadvantages and three shortcomings alone are unbearable. As the saying goes, there must be losses when you gain. If you gain, you may lose it, because we peek into the laws of heaven and earth and reveal Heavenly secrets sometimes run through the realms of yin and yang, and most of the time they will change some things, and the changed parts will be borne by the people who changed them, so they will appear in the form of five disadvantages and three deficiencies. Five disadvantages and three deficiencies account for one. Whether it's a life-threatening situation, whether it's a widower, a widower, a disabled person, or money, life and power, it's all unbearable for ordinary people."
"Xiaojiu, you grew up in the Maoshan Sect before you were 8 years old. But later when our family suffered a disaster, your grandfather asked me to take you out. When you came out, your grandfather didn't want you to have to bear the burden of being a Taoist priest. I just wanted to be an ordinary person, so I used a secret method to seal your memory, and asked me not to tell you about living in Maoshan."
"And your grandfather and I have exactly the same idea. I want you to choose your own path, but I don't want to go against your grandfather's wishes. Therefore, I only dare to tell you these words when I am dying. And you also have the right to choose your own life, and I think even your grandfather and I have no right to interfere."
Speaking of this, grandma suddenly coughed violently. It seemed that she had been holding on for too long and she couldn't hold it anymore. I didn't dare to interrupt grandma, so I could only listen silently. , Rong Hou was thinking.
"Grandma still has a lot to tell you, but I'm afraid it won't work anymore. I feel like... I can't hold it anymore!"
Grandma's voice suddenly changed. I quickly subconsciously held Grandma's hand tightly, but she was still talking.
"After grandma left, everything she left behind was placed in a place only the two of us know..."
"Xiaojiu... I think grandma can only accompany you until this point... Not being able to watch you get married and have children... is grandma's biggest regret... the future journey depends on you... go on your own, your health Growing up... is the biggest wish of my grandparents... You don’t need to be too sad, I went to find your grandpa... It is also my... blessing... to be reunited with your grandpa in the end...!"
Just when grandma said the last word, my hand holding grandma suddenly became cold, and my eyes slowly closed. Although I didn't want to accept it, I also understood that grandma had completely left me...
The overwhelming sadness surged into my heart in an instant. My grandma, my only relative since I was a child and my favorite in the world, completely left me at this moment!
"Ah..." The sound of grief, mixed with tears, rushed out in an instant. My mind is blank now. Apart from crying, I don't want to think about anything, and I don't want to do anything...
Because, from now on, I am the only one left in my world. This feeling is incomprehensible!
However, just when I was experiencing pain and suffering and couldn't extricate myself, I suddenly heard heavy banging on the door that was locked when I came back!
what's the situation?
Who could be knocking on the door at this time? For a moment, I tried my best to put away my sad emotions, and stood up with great effort. I didn't feel anything when I was kneeling for a long time, but when I stood up, I found that my legs had been numb for a long time.
However, just when I stood up, the door was kicked open with a loud bang, and then a group of people wearing masks and hats rushed in, and the leader was... The man who argued with my grandma in my house that day!
Although he had never shown his face, I recognized him at a glance, and I was sure because the look he looked at me was unmistakable, it was still full of chills!
