"Eighty-eighty to three, blessings are overwhelming. Let alone the eighty-four hurdle, even the ninety-eight hurdle can be overcome!" I said to the old man with a smile.
The old man smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, don't lie to me, an old woman!"
"Don't worry, your appearance shows that you will live a long life and your descendants will be blessed. Enjoy your old age!" I said seriously, got up and prepared to leave.
Jiang Li chased after him, with a worried look on his face, "You...did you see anything?"
"Your grandma has a big problem!" I said solemnly, "I just looked at her face and found that according to common sense, she should be dead long ago!"
"Dead...dead!" Jiang Li screamed in fright.
I quickly covered her mouth and dragged her to the alley next to her, "Keep your voice down, if your grandma finds out, something will happen!"
"Okay... I understand." Jiang Li nodded in a panic, "You... are you telling the truth? Is my grandma really dead?"
According to fortune tellers, the man is already dead, but he is still alive and well in broad daylight. Except that he looks a little too weak on the outside, he is no different from a normal person.
I can't figure out what's going on!
Is it possible that her grandmother came back from the dead? But how is this possible? After death, three souls go to the underworld, or become a lonely soul wandering the world. No matter what, it is impossible to come back from the dead.
I pondered for a few seconds and then said to her, "Don't worry, does your grandma really get up every night?"
"Yes." Jiang Li nodded affirmatively, thought for a moment and then said, "I get up at about 1 o'clock every night to go to the toilet, and it takes half an hour each time. I have never missed a time."
The more I think about it, the more strange it becomes. How can a normal person go to the toilet for half an hour every day?
What's more... this time is too long for an old man who has been sick for a long time!
So...what will she do in these half an hour?
I continued to ask, "So when did your grandma start acting like this? Is there anything else strange about her?"
"This..." Jiang Li looked troubled and thought for a long time before saying, "About three years ago, her body suddenly collapsed three years ago, and it has been like this since then. Normally, it would be nothing too strange. She just likes to go to places where weddings are held to join in the fun, but she never goes to places where weddings are held!"
There is definitely something wrong with this guy! I feel more and more certain.
Older people generally rarely go to uncelebrated places like doing white things. There is a custom that if you participate too much, it will be unlucky for the old people who are at the end of their lifespan. They may even be remembered by their names. There is no way. What a life!
Therefore, most old people like to participate in festive events in order to add some good luck to themselves and pray for a longer life with the Lord of Hell!
Unexpectedly, Jiang Li's grandma would do it the other way around.
Are you not taboo about these things, or is there another reason?
I thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out how to solve it, "How about... I hide in your house tonight and see if your grandma got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet or to do something else?"
Jiang Li thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, I'll take you in then!"
"Okay!" After I agreed, I felt something was wrong and asked casually, "You are so suspicious of your grandma, do you still feel free to let me check her out?"
Jiang Li was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that I would ask her so suddenly, "I...I just wanted to tell grandma's fortune at first, but you said she was very strange. I found that grandma has indeed changed in the past two years." It was a lot, so I just followed it to see what was going on with grandma."
"Well, don't worry, we will find out tonight." I nodded thoughtfully.
Is this Jiang Li really what she said?
I suddenly felt that this thing was a little too smooth, even a little smooth.
I went back to the shop and continued to watch until after dark, and then I came to Jiang Li's house again.
I don't know why, but it was fine when I came here during the day, but at night, I felt like this old house had a gloomy air.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I felt unnatural all over, as if I was being watched.
"Squeak!" Jiang Li carefully opened the door a crack, looked around outside like a thief, and finally took me into the room next to her, "You hide under the bed first, my grandma will go I went out to buy something, I won’t be back until later!”
"Going out to buy something?" I paused and asked curiously, "Why is she going out to buy something so late?"
Jiang Li pointed to a desk in the corner of the room, "Going to buy incense and candles. She has to worship grandpa every night before going to bed."
Looking in the direction of her finger, a black high-top table was placed neatly in the corner of the simple room.
The table was clean and tidy, and it looked like it had been cleaned frequently. There was a black tablet with the words "The memorial tablet of my late husband Jiang Chengshu!" placed on it, and in front of it was a copper-colored incense burner.
It seems very simple, but it seems too simple.
I glanced at the words on the tablet and asked curiously, "Are your parents dead?"
"Wha...what?" Jiang Li's face froze, "What does this mean?"
I pointed to the tablet, "For ordinary people, if a child in the family dies early or there are no children, the tablet will have this word on it. Otherwise, the word 'public taboo' will be added after the name. If your grandfather dies, , if your father is still alive, then this tablet should be 'the tablet of my late husband Jiang Gongba Chengshujun'! That's why I asked you if your parents are still there."
Jiang Li frowned slightly and stared at the memorial tablet, "My father was still alive when my grandfather died, and he is still alive now, but he and my mother are out of town and haven't been back for several years!"
"Hiss...this is strange!" I looked at the tablet with some curiosity.
The carpenter who came to carve a memorial tablet for her grandfather would never make such a stupid mistake. Either her grandma forgot to mention that there were children at home, or... her grandma did this on purpose!
At this moment, there was a sudden "squeak!" door opening sound outside.
Jiang Li looked panicked and quickly pushed me under the bed, "My grandma is back, you go in and hide for a while!"
I didn't hesitate at all and immediately got under the bed. Fortunately, the bed was a wooden bed like before. The four legs were relatively high, just enough to accommodate my body. The sheets hung down, making it difficult to see me from the outside.
"Tap tap tap..." There was a sound of brisk footsteps outside.
Then I saw Jiang Li open the door to the room and said to the person standing outside, "Grandma, you're back!"
Why are the footsteps so fast... I felt a thump in my heart, "No, this person is not her grandma!"
