More than ten years later, I went to another province to attend university. I followed my cousin’s instructions and left the village. He asked me to wear the amulet and leave the village, so that the thing would never be found in me again.
I never returned to the village after leaving, and no strange things happened around me.
It was around midnight and I was woken up by my cell phone ringing. It was a call from grandma.
"Grandma?" I answered the phone, and grandma's voice was urgent.
"Aning, you must not come back!"
"Grandma, what happened at home?" I was a little worried.
"Aning, you must never come back!" Grandma said this again. I was about to ask, but the other end hung up the phone.
I had an ominous premonition. Grandma was so weird. Her two sentences before and after were exactly the same tone and intonation, as if they were replayed.
I called back immediately, but at this time a new call came in. After I answered the call, another woman's voice sounded on the other end of the phone.
"Yes, is it Jing Ning?"
This voice is hers!
"I'm your mother. Something happened to your grandma. She, she died yesterday!"
I was stunned for a moment, then yelled.
"You're talking nonsense! I just received a call from my grandma."
I didn't expect that she would viciously curse her own mother.
"Your grandma is really... dead! I won't lie to you about this." My mother's voice also sounded panicked.
I put down the phone and wanted to call my grandma to confirm, but there was no call from my grandma in the received calls column.
No, my grandma clearly called me just now, why didn’t she?
I suddenly realized something, and the hand holding the phone was shaking.
I was anxious in my heart, no matter what happened to my grandma, I had to go back to feel completely at ease.
At dawn, I took the earliest train home. After traveling hundreds of kilometers, I felt like I was returning home.
When I stood at the door of my hometown, I turned around and didn't dare to open the door.
After waiting for a while, I wanted to push the door open with trembling hands. Someone behind me stopped me.
"Are you Sister Aning?" I quickly turned to look at the little boy and nodded.
"Go to the ancestral hall, your grandma is there!"
I ran there non-stop. When I arrived at the ancestral hall, I saw almost the whole village surrounding it. I pushed through the crowd and squeezed in.
He saw a woman kneeling in front of a black coffin, burning paper. Her body was filled with black energy, as if she was entangled in something.
"It's Aning who's back!" A villager with sharp eyes recognized me.
When the woman heard the noise, she immediately turned her head.
It's my mother. She is much older, but my impression of her only remains as she was when she left me behind.
"Aning, Aning, you are really back!" She wiped away the tears on her face and came over to hug me, but I turned away and kept distance from her.
"This child's life is really hard. He was sacrificed to King Jinglong by his biological mother since he was a child." Grandma Zhang next door sighed after seeing me and the people around her.
"I heard that she is a lone star in the sky. Doesn't this kill my grandma who was kind to her? She also killed so many villagers back then." Aunt Li, who has high cheekbones, said.
"Bah, there are so many evil stars who have been deceived by that old liar. So when your man died, was it also you who killed him?"
Aunt Li rolled her eyes at Grandma Zhang unhappily.
I glared at Aunt Zhang, and when she saw the coldness in my eyes, she closed her mouth in embarrassment.
From the moment my mother pushed me down the well, she and I became strangers, and she was no longer my mother. She was stunned there, and I didn't care. I ran over and tried to open the coffin lid with all my strength.
"Aning, no!" My mother came over to stop me, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and I raised my head and glared at her.
"I want to see grandma, I don't believe she's dead!" I shouted to her.
"Aning, you have to be mentally prepared when you open the coffin." My mother put her hand down without any intention of stopping me.
I looked at her and hesitated for a moment, but I decided to see who was lying in the coffin.
When the coffin lid made a low sound, I finally opened the heavy lid. By the light, I looked around.
"Ah!" Even though I was mentally prepared, I was still so frightened that my body went limp. My mother supported me, as if she knew I would be like this.
There was not a single piece of intact flesh on my grandma's face. There were wounds cut by knives, and bones were exposed in some places.
"What exactly is going on?"
I roared and my body was shaking. I couldn't believe that my loving grandmother died so tragically.
Although grandma was not rich, she never disliked me. After rescuing me, he gave me all the delicious food and drinks at home. She would not let me be wronged, and my grandma would give it to me even if other children had it.
I still remember my grandma giving me ice-cold watermelon in the courtyard in the summer and taking me to watch the stars in the sky.
Before I had time to repay my grandmother, she died inexplicably. I was really unfilial!
"When I came to see your grandma, I saw snakes everywhere in the yard. Many neighbors also saw this! When I entered the house, I saw your grandma... gnawing on the flesh on her arm!"
snake!
Reminds me of that scene more than ten years ago.
Could it be that he killed my grandma! Just to force me to come back?
