"Jiaolong, why are you back?"

I was standing at the door. Grandma looked at me with the sacrificed thing on her face in surprise and walked quickly to me, "Didn't you tell me to stay with your sister-in-law in the hospital for a few more days?"

"My sister-in-law is anxious and said she wants to come back to see grandma off." I replied, looking at grandma hugging her arms. "Mama, I saw the black and white photo of grandma and felt chill all over."

Grandma frowned and took my hand, "Walk with me, you are your granddaughter, you have to wear mourning."

On the way back to the house, many relatives looked at me, and they said to each other, "This is Cuifang's granddaughter."

"Yes, it's the first time I've seen you in years."

"Didn't you say you won't live long if you are sick? How solid is this?"

I didn't recognize them, so I felt uncomfortable talking behind the scenes, so I had to follow my grandma to speed up and quickly enter our house. After entering the house, my grandma made a white cloth look like a vest for me to wear. I looked at the clothes that were not strong and frowned, "Grandma, I don't want to wear this."

"It's okay if you don't wear it." Grandma said, as if she was worried. She took a bag she brought, took out a piece of triangular red talisman paper from it and put it on my neck, and then tucked it into her clothes. "Don't let others see it."

I nodded, "What are you doing with this?"

Grandma looked at me, "Your grandma is leaving urgently, I'm afraid she will not give up. You are in the house when the funeral is held later. I'll tell you to go out and you're out. Don't look at your eyes randomly."

I said 'um', looked at my grandma and then opened the door and called my dad's name.

Dad responded and walked over, "Mom, the soul and the others are back. Did Qiao Qiao take the portrait at the funeral in the afternoon? She is the eldest granddaughter."

"The portrait is not something that my granddaughter can hold." Grandma said directly, looking at dad, "You can take the portrait, except when you burn big paper at night, don't let her go during the funeral."

"It's not good not to go. Didn't you say that you have to give away all your children and grandchildren?" Dad looked at grandma in confusion.

Grandma looked at me and then looked at dad, "You don't know that Jiaolong's body is different from others. It's not good for your mother to give it to him. Just give it to him when burning big paper. I'll say more, don't talk about it again when your elder sister is talking about it."

Dad nodded, "If it's not good to my mother, then I don't think my elder sister can say anything. Mom, after the ashes are sent to the crematorium, you will bring them back directly."

Grandma said, "I have to bring it back today, wrap it in red cloth, wait until I find a good place, it is auspicious to be buried. Don't you want to find a good place? Then you can't hurry. Okay, go and do your work to celebrate the sacrifice first."

"Oh, okay." Dad responded, raised his foot and left. Grandma then glanced at me. "Jiaolong, Grandma is busy in the morning and doesn't care about you. Don't go to your grandma's side by yourself, do you know?"

I nodded, "Yes." As I said, grandma hurriedly walked out.

The funeral in the city is not very similar to ours. When I was in the village, my grandma presided over it, so I know the general process. During the funeral, I just carried the coffin into the dug cemetery and buried it, and then burned large paper at the intersection at night and sent it away completely.

Burning large paper means burning some paper people, paper horses, paper houses, paper cars, paper money, etc., so that the people who leave have money to spend below. Some people use it, men burn horses, women who leave, and women burn cows, saying that women often waste water because they have to have their menstrual period and their bodies are not clean. When they reach below, there is a level that allows women to drink all the water they waste in their lives, so they have to send a cow to help women drink water. This will not be a pain.

There were many people in the yard that day. I listened to my grandma's words and didn't make do with it. From a distance, I saw the little sister-in-law kneeling in front of the desk and crying in the dark. Uncle Zhuo came to support her, but she didn't get up. It seemed that she wanted Uncle Zhuo to ignore her. Then Uncle Zhuo left helplessly. Then, the little sister-in-law kept kneeling there and crying.

Because the portrait made me numb all over my body, I always felt something was wrong with that, so I took a few more glances. As a result, when the little sister in the heart knelt down and kowtowed, I saw a hand vaguely on her head. I was startled and rubbed my eyes constantly. If I wanted to take a closer look, the hand disappeared.

I was a little furious and hurried to find Zhuo Jing. I could see clearly with him. Zhuo Jing was staying in his room, and he was reading a book. When I saw me pulling the door open, I was stunned, "Black Monkey, you won't knock on the door."

"You come out with me." I pointed outside. "I didn't see clearly."

He shook his head, "I am not suitable for showing more often in this occasion, there are shadows."

"No, I won't be scared to you. There are people outside, what are you afraid of? Just be by my side and accompany me." I was a little anxious, wanting to know what was going on with the hand I saw.

He looked at me and instead held the corner of his mouth, "You are afraid, you want me to accompany you."

"No, I didn't see clearly something, I don't know if I've read it wrong!" I said again.

He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, shook his head, and looked at me mysteriously: "You must not read it wrong. If you see something, it's... ghost, if you are afraid, go find your grandma."

I was angry, "My grandma is busy, I just asked you to accompany me to take a look, let's not go!" After that, I turned around and left. Who is it, I don't want you to have any major issues.

"Forget it, I'll accompany you. If I'm sick, you'll be responsible." He said behind me, putting the book aside, and then walked out with me.

But when I got out, my sister-in-law had already stood up. She followed my sister-in-law Xinyun and the two of them were wiping tears beside the spirit shed. I looked carefully at the portrait on the desk, but I didn't find any hand. When I looked at my sister-in-law, I didn't think there was anything wrong. Is it really wrong that I saw it wrong?

Zhuo Jing touched me next to me, "Oh, black monkey, look at the portrait blinking."

I looked over and felt nothing but the feeling of the sting. I shook my head and said, "I didn't see it, you saw it."

He also shook his head and said, "I didn't see it."

"I didn't see what you said." I was speechless and looked at him. "Don't be afraid of being there. What's the blink of an image? Even if your eyes really move, it's just dazzling. Go back."

"I didn't see your grandma blinking just now, but when a relative in my house left in a car accident when I was a child, I saw the portrait blinking on the day of the funeral."

He followed me and said lightly, "I thought I had read it wrong at the time. As a result, I could have been sick for more than a month, and it was still the deceased Feng Shui master who had already taken good care of it. Do you know what he said?"

"What did you say."

"He said that when a person is in funeral, especially those who are reluctant to die, they will be unwilling to accept it. Therefore, they want to take one away, hook your soul away, and go to the underworld to accompany them." He said deliberately in a very low tone, listening to me, all over.

I glared at him, "You scared me?!"

He spread his hands, "Do you believe it or not? I almost got hooked away anyway. Warn you to stay away, your grandma will not be hooked away by you then." (To be continued)
