I refused to leave and looked at the white smoke pouring out from under my mother's coffin. I felt scared and sad.
"Grandpa, can I stay and help?"
The grandfather grabbed a handful of millet from his pocket and sprinkled it on my mother's grave. Without looking back, he said, "You can't help. You don't understand these things. This is a very powerful evil magic formation. From my perspective, Once you pry open your mother’s coffin, it’s already working!”
Grandpa was very anxious. After sprinkling the millet, he took out some blood threads soaked in chicken blood. He looked back and saw that I was still standing there dumbly and didn't move. He immediately got angry and shouted,
"Hurry up, you will only become a burden to me here, obey me, go home and hide, don't go anywhere!"
I could see that the situation was already very critical, otherwise my grandpa would not yell at me so rudely. Although I was still a little reluctant, I could only turn around and run down the mountain, running back home as fast as I could.
The distance between the back mountain and my home is not short. This trip made me out of breath. After finally returning to the village, I turned to look at the back mountain and found that the white fog was getting thicker. The thick fog was like a tidal wave. It was pouring into the village, and soon the village was also swept by this white mist.
There were many villagers in the village. They also discovered the strangeness in the back mountain. They all ran out to see the strange thing and talked about it. They couldn't figure out what the thick fog was about.
I was so frightened that I couldn't care less about the villagers and trotted to the door of my house. I was still worried about my grandfather's safety.
I don’t understand what the evil formation is, nor do I know the consequences of those thick fog covering the village. I only know that my grandpa has been running around to help me. Now I leave him alone in the back mountain. What should I do if something goes wrong? ?
I felt uneasy and wanted to run back to help my grandfather, but I didn’t know anything and didn’t understand anything. What could a 12-year-old child do? I could only stare blankly in the direction of the thick fog rising from the mountains behind me, trembling with helplessness.
Suddenly, there was a banging sound from the woodshed, which startled me. I turned around and saw my grandma sticking half of her head out of the window, looking at me with a livid face.
"Zhou Xuan, you damn kid, why don't you untie me quickly?"
"grandmother……"
I shook my shoulders subconsciously, and just as I was about to run over, I remembered what my grandfather had said.
Grandma was possessed by an evil spirit and her consciousness was not clear at all. She is no longer the grandma she was before. If she were released now, she would probably do something to harm me.
I hesitated and didn't dare to move. Grandma coughed a few times with difficulty and said in a pleading tone,
"Grandma is hungry and wants to eat. Please find something to feed me quickly."
Only then did I remember that since grandma was tied up yesterday, she still hasn’t had a drop of water. She is so old and has been hit by the death of my third uncle. If I don’t care about her, something will definitely happen.
Although I hate what my grandma did to my mother, she is still my grandma after all. I hesitated and ran into the kitchen and brought out the bowl of noodles leftover from yesterday.
"Hurry up, I'm going to starve to death." Grandma put her head on the window sill and urged me to feed her quickly.
She looked very scary, with fierce eyes, like an old wolf that wanted to eat people.
I was so frightened by her appearance that I didn't dare to get close. When I was still hesitating, grandma spoke again, a trace of madness flashed in her cloudy eyes,
"Gee, Zhou Xuan, I know you hated me for treating your mother that way, but you can't blame me. Who called you mother..."
Halfway through her words, grandma suddenly stopped, raised her old face full of evil spirits, licked her lips and said,
"You feed me what I stutter, and I'll tell you a secret."
secret?
I was stunned and looked into my grandma's cloudy eyes. I didn't know whether I should believe her or not, but after thinking about it, I still had the courage to pick up a bunch of noodles with my chopsticks and hand them to grandma's mouth tremblingly.
"Give me something to eat quickly!"
Grandma was like a hungry wolf. She stuck her head out, bit my chopsticks hard, and stuffed all the noodles into her mouth.
She bit hard and left two lines of teeth marks on the bamboo chopsticks. I felt like she was going to eat my hand next. I was so frightened that I retracted my hand and stammered,
"Grandma, what was the secret you just told me?"
"Giggle."
Grandma sucked the noodles into her stomach, still keeping that gloomy smile on her face, and said in a vague tone, "Do you know why your father never likes you?"
My heart skipped a beat, and I did have questions about this.
It stands to reason that I am the only child of Lao Zhou's family, and my family should love me. But as far back as I can remember, my father has never treated me well. He either beat me or scolded me, and he always called me a "bastard".
Grandma was delirious, with wet drool dripping from the corner of her mouth, "Haha, your father went to the hospital for a checkup. He couldn't have children at all. You are not from our old Zhou family at all. Of course he doesn't like you."
What?
My whole body was numb and I jumped upright.
Grandma continued, in fact, my mother was pregnant when she was abducted into the Zhou family. She gave birth eight months after marrying into the Zhou family, and the baby she gave birth to was not the Zhou family's baby.
My father was very angry. He originally planned to dig a hole and bury me, but my grandma stopped me and said that my father could not have children and that the family would have to leave a cub to carry on the family legacy. Only then did I save my life from the hoe. .
They claimed that I was born prematurely, but in fact the whole family knew that I was not of the Zhou family at all.
I was stunned.
So whose child am I?
Grandma urged me to continue feeding her noodles, "Quickly, give me something to eat, and I'll tell you the second secret."
I shivered and picked up a chopstick of noodles and continued to hand them to grandma.
Grandma opened her mouth so eagerly that she wanted to bite off the stick as well. At this time, I could no longer care about my fear and asked quickly, "Grandma, please tell me, what is the second secret?"
"hehe!"
She glanced at me with an evil look, and smacked her dark blue lips a few times, "Do you think your grandpa is a good person?"
I was stunned and didn't understand why grandma asked me this.
Taigong is indeed a good man recognized by villages all over the country, let alone running a school. Just the fact that after my family's accident happened, he went out to work and worked hard for me, which is enough to show that he is a good man.
"Hey, you were deceived. This old man is wilting and bad."
Grandma scoffed and told me word for word the second piece of news that was like a bolt from the blue.
"Your mother was abducted by human traffickers and sold to our old Zhou family. Guess who is the person who sold your mother to me?"
Could it be Taigong!
I felt as if I had been electrocuted. Leng Buding started twitching all over, my brain was buzzing, and even the bowl of noodles fell to the ground.
Grandma got anxious and yelled, "You street boy, the noodles are all stained by you, pick them up quickly, pick them up for me!"
I grimaced and didn't move, my mind went blank due to the huge shock. Before I could recover, a strange meow came from my ears.
Meow~
A harsh and hoarse meow pierced the sky. I shuddered and looked back to the place where the meow came from. The scene that followed made me dumbfounded.
The walls, beams and doors of my house are crawling with wild cats everywhere.
I don’t know where these wild cats came from. They all lay down in my house and stared at me with straight expressions. Their eyes were particularly scary.
