Chapter 8: More Scary Than Ghosts and Gods
"Eh?" I wondered for a moment, at this time Tiger was still by my side all the time annoying me, asking me what the hell was going on. Why did it look like a gangster movie? Those few people are not carrying guns ah what, by my annoying no way out said: "My grandfather body has a treasure map, was buried together, and now they all want."
"I fuck, that can not give ah, treasure map, you this calf how early not say? There is a treasure map a few brothers and sisters still poor money to spend?" Tiger said.
"They are big gangsters, robbed them and then say, not to mention this matter, I'm annoyed!" I called to the tiger, my old man's these three words do not know for sure is his countermeasure, but what does this three words represent?
To be on the safe side. I went home and saved that picture of my grandpa's back tattoo to a flash drive, deleted the picture from my phone, and hid the flash drive in the crevice of my bed.
On the way back to my grandfather's gravesite, I gave a jolt and smacked my head, and in a split second I realized what my old man's three words meant, "I don't know," which means I don't know anything! When digging up my grandfather's graveyard, the absence of the body in the coffin was exposed, both of them would definitely ask where the body went, I had thought that we would be very passive in such a situation, but I had forgotten that the people present were masters of metaphysics.
"I don't know." Those three words were enough to deal with them.
The fact that a body would disappear on its own might be hard to accept in the eyes of a normal person, but this kind of metaphysical thing should not be strange to them.
–I have to admire my old man to do things really think more than me, the head than I earn fast, this is the nature of the flower breeder in crisis is the most admirable, I rushed to the cemetery no longer speak, the shovel to Zhao Bajie's men stood next to my old man with his toes gently pointing at him, signaling that I already understand what he means, he ignored me. He ignored me and quietly watched as they dug up my grandfather's grave.
The coffin was slowly revealed, Huang Lao just helped my grandfather to find another place, that place is not what feng shui treasure, but according to his meaning at least can guarantee my family's peace and well-being.
After the coffin was lifted up, although already prepared to say, but I still a palm of sweat, no matter how we are just an ordinary peasant family, and now is with Zhao Bajie and the famous Huang old man they fight, can fight over them?
"Can you let me take a look at Gengchen? I haven't seen him for decades, and I don't know what he's become." Old Man Huang continued to act out.
I was ready to refuse, moving the grave and coffin together, why open the coffin? But at this time, Zhao Bajie said, "You and my father have been old friends for many years, this is nothing to be ashamed of, open the coffin!"
I was furious, you Zhao Bajie really think you are my grandfather's own son? Your last name is Zhao, and you haven't seen him for decades, so you really don't think of yourself as an outsider?
But my old man stepped on my foot at this time, signaling me not to act rashly. Huang old man this time rolled up his sleeves, took the shovel and said: "We all know what I do in the early years, this thing I'll do."
I thought to myself, "Aren't you a grave robber who digs up people's ancestral graves? You're a grave robber who digs up people's ancestral tombs, and you're good at opening coffins, so you're worth bragging about? –If I had a good impression of Huang Lao from my grandfather's notes before, now it's just as bad, acting and hypocrisy is my definition of him.
My old man really can endure, even at this time, Huang Lao that impatient look has been close to exposing his purpose, he still stood there motionless without the slightest indication, as if everything is well in hand, I as a junior child and do not know anything, what can I say?
Huang Lao opened the coffin is indeed skilled, a shovel on the pry open my grandfather's coffin, he seems to my grandfather behind the totem is quite fanatical, people in the get their own dream things will always leak out of the expression of fanaticism, Huang Lao originally qi kung fu is good, and acting is also very talented, but at this time his face expression is close to insanity, and even has forgotten his disguise of the identity of the deceased of my grandfather, my grandfather's coffin boards directly pried and fell to the ground, and then couldn't wait to stick his head into the coffin.
But the next moment, his face turned unnatural. –I even couldn't help but laugh out fast, sorry ah old fox, let you down! I was ready for those three words, but the next moment I saw Old Huang bend down and move in the coffin.
What's there to move in an empty coffin?
At this time my old man and Zhao Bajie they also approached the coffin, I was also curious about this old man Huang in the empty coffin in the end to turn what, but when I approached, my eyes almost gave a stare out, followed by bending down and dry-heaving.
In this coffin, it is a highly decomposed body, his body constantly have bugs drilling around, the whole person is highly swollen, the whole body of the meat are black rot, this is the first time I saw such a corpse, only feel a burst of nausea, and that the stench of the corpse only then drifted out, smoked me almost can't open my eyes.
In my vomiting, in addition to the stomach in addition to my heart is also turning over, my grandfather's body has been taken by my old man to the cremation, urns have been buried in a safe place, grandpa's empty casket out of the funeral is also I know, so the inside of this highly decomposed body in the end is who is it?
That Huang Lao is not too disgusting, just at this time also turned over this highly corrupted corpse, at this time has completely exposed his target, he tore open the corpse body's life jacket, but after seeing that same rotten back, the whole person is drained of strength as murmured: "How can this be?"
You fucking ask how could this happen, I still want to ask how could this happen!
"Right, how could this happen? Brother, I've told you that this Old Man Huang is a tall man, right? Now you believe me, don't you? It's only been a few days since our dad's body was buried and it's already rotting like this? This must be the feng shui of the land, it is fortunate that Huang came, or else something may happen, do not you think so? Zhao Bajie said at this time.
"Yes, thanks to Huang Lao, the coffin nail mouth, let's go to the father buried in the place Huang Lao said." My old dad also chimed in.
"Young people, it's really interesting, very interesting, you guys go and bury Morechen well, I still have some things to do today so I'll withdraw first, we'll meet again." Huang Lao arched his hand, the expression on that face was like eating a dead fly, even if I don't know what's going on right now I still feel a burst of euphoria.
"Huang old man, then you walk slowly wind big don't flash waist, anytime you are welcome to come to lock the head of the village as a guest ah!" Zhao Bajie called out behind him with a smile, his words made that Huang Lao's body tremble with anger, and his head didn't even return.
At this time I looked at my old dad's shocked face, he was also nervous to death just now, and then look at Zhao Bajie's face that everything is a good idea, I seem to understand what, if I am not wrong, this is all Zhao Bajie's arrangement.
He knew that there was nothing in the coffin, so he got a corrupt corpse loaded in advance to deal with Huang Lao, and Huang Lao said that this place is not good feng shui, it just so happens that this result is his own gagged himself.
Otherwise he must have also questioned why the corpse would rot so quickly, Zhao Bajie a sentence of Huang Lao divine opportunity to plug him.
Could it be that I misunderstood Master Zhao Bajie just now, and that he was actually the one who secretly helped us?
But right now, I don't dare to trust anyone so easily, the attitude of a person of Huang Lao's status towards the tattoo on Grandpa's back makes me feel that this tattoo that Grandpa never talked about is bound to be very involved, and in front of the interests, who can guarantee that Master Zhao Bajie doesn't have other plans?
"Bury Dad." Zhao Bajie said in a different accent after Huang Lao left.
My old man nodded, a few people carrying the coffin, which is not my grandfather's remains, this is probably everyone knows the matter, the burial site is really Huang Lao pointed out the place, buried, Zhao Bajie kowtowed a few times in front of the grave, did not turn around to my old man said:
Brother, I'll always remember when Dad sent me away you chased me to the village entrance that face, can not forget for the rest of my life.
My dad nodded and didn't say anything, after a while, my dad patted my shoulder and said, "San Liang, call second uncle."
"Second Uncle." I called out.
Master Zhao Baji turned around with tears streaming down his face, but he was still grinning, "Great nephew is good, he's much more handsome than your father."
-In that instant, I felt that from the time Zhao Bajie returned to the village until now, the gap between him and my old man was completely dissolved, my old man is a shy and introverted person, he couldn't call out that younger brother, and let me call out that second uncle, has already told Zhao Bajie that he recognizes him, and in his heart, he's not Zhao Bajie, or that Li Erdan who follows his ass.
In the evening, my mother burned a table of dishes, Zhao Bajie's first dinner at my home, the relationship between these three people is also very cut and dried, but with Zhao Bajie's a cup of wine a sister-in-law even if all unraveled, the lock head of the village villagers look forward to the long-awaited love triangle is finally to let these calves disappointment.
The family only eat, talk about the family did not say anything else, my old man did not ask that the body of the matter is who did, Zhao Bashi also did not say, just my grandmother asked a two eggs ah, you these years alone outside is how to come over?
"It's not easy, eat a hundred rice grew up, and then luck, met a nobleman lifted a hand, originally wanted to come back to pick up Mom and Dad to live in the city, who knows that it caught up with the death of my old man. Mom, from now on I am your own son." Zhao Bajie said.
"Xiu'e, have you looked for her?" My grandmother asked.
Zhao Bajie's face visibly stiffened, and after a while he said, "China is so big, where can I find her?"
"Erdan ah, you have to understand her, your mom was forced, that era pushed her, her own child, can she not be heartbroken? But she can't live with you all by herself!" Grandma said and shed tears again, began to grieve.
"I understand everything." Zhao Bajie said.
"And Erdan, your face?" Grandma asked.
"Mom, there is a surgery outside called cosmetic surgery, son now rich certainly have to want face is not it? So I went to get a facelift, isn't it a lot more handsome? More handsome than my brother?" Zhao Baji said.
"Handsome! Handsome is useless, also do not see you find a daughter-in-law." Grandma scolded.
–This is a harmonious picture, to say the least, I'm quite happy, who does not want to have a lord like the second uncle? This meal is so happy to eat, after eating my father and I went to send Zhao Baji, on the way back my father suddenly asked me: "three two, you feel your second uncle how?"
"It's okay, heavy hearted, his sentence can never forget when you sent him back then touched me to the core, dad, it seems you really misjudged him." I said.
"But have you ever thought that he did it just to move you?" My old man asked.
"Eh?" I was torn in my heart by what my old man said.
"He did it because he knew that your grandfather's body was cremated, and we are the only ones who might have the tattoo, San two, I know it might be a bit extreme for me to think that way, but you can't do harm to others, and you can't prevent others from doing harm." My old dad said.
Hearing my old dad's words and remembering what I experienced today, I suddenly got a bit of a chill down my spine.
The ghosts and monsters in my grandfather's notes were not as frightening as my old dad's words.
What's scarier than ghosts and gods is really the human heart.
