Chapter 6: The Seventh Day of Dying (Chapter 2)
Grandma looked at it for a long time before wiping the sweat on her forehead in a daze, and murmured incoherently: "How could this happen? Why is this happening? Am I really dazzled?"
Tako immediately asked anxiously: "Grandma, what's wrong with you? What did you see? There has been no change in this painting?"
Grandma turned her head and looked at Duozi, and said tremblingly: "Duozi, Grandma's good grandson... Grandma is afraid there will be no more days in the future, Grandma... There is nothing to worry about. Since your grandfather left, she has taken me away. The only thing I worry about is you... Wuwu~~~ You are the only seed of our family. If I have the heart to leave, I will leave you alone and stay with such a living mother all day long. How should I explain to your grandfather... Wuwuwu~~~"
Duozi slowly wiped the tears on grandma's face with her little hands, and comforted her with sobs: "Grandma, don't cry, you won't die, Duozi won't let you die..."
Grandma turned her head and looked at the painting again, then sighed deeply, and said, "Human life is controlled by heaven. You should let you go. You can't escape. If you don't let you go... It's just that you will suffer in this world. If you have suffered enough of it, you can leave in a cool way. Many children, Grandma just can't let you go... Wuwuwu~~~"
"Grandma! Woo woo woo woo woo~~~"
Speaking of this, Tako suddenly choked and screamed at the water well, and then lay on the edge of the well and cried bitterly...
I immediately asked, "Duozi, what did your grandma see in Article 6? Why did she faint?"
Duozi held back her tears and raised her head, saying with a choking feeling: "I don't know. Grandma doesn't want to say anything in her heart. She just said that she has never done anything wrong in her life, and she has never asked anyone to do anything. When she is old, she begged my mother once to prevent me from starving to death, wuwu~~~"
Looking at Duozi who couldn't stop crying, I couldn't bear to come forward to disturb him. When I mentioned the only grandma in the world who loved him, he should be sad. I wiped the moisture in my eyes and reached out to pat Duozi's little shoulder. This weak young man actually had the kindness and filial heart of a man, which is respectable and admirable!
After Duozi's mood eased a little, I continued to ask, "Then on this sixth day, did your grandma die?"
Tako hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, although I don't know what grandma saw on that day, I know that she did not die in Article 6, but..."
Speaking of the time when Grandma Duozi died, I have to listen to Grandma Duozi's words. On the sixth day, Grandma never said a word and didn't eat a bite. Duozi was a little bite. He wanted to know what strange things were in that painting, so he tried his best to suppress his sleepiness. He wanted to get up before dawn to see what new tricks would appear in the painting. Sure enough!
On the seventh day, Duozi rubbed his painful sleepy eyes. He slept for a while, for fear of missing time. But when Duozi got up quietly, he found that grandma's bed was empty and grandma had already gotten up early!
Tako immediately thought of the painting in the main hall, so he tiptoed to the door, then opened the door bit by bit, and through the crack of the door, Tako was shocked to see that his grandmother was lying on the ground, and that painting, that painting...
The lonely tomb on the painting turned into a coffin, a large black lacquered coffin!
Moreover, the mouth of the coffin was open, and Duozi was shaking all over. He felt his heart almost jumping into his throat. He wanted to snatch the door and see how his grandmother was doing, but he was afraid, really...
Grandma also had an oil lamp tilted to the ground, and the wick was burning inclined, with yellow and faint light shining, illuminating the terrifying scroll of the painting. A skeleton stood beside the well at the edge of the vegetable field, with her head slightly hooked, as if she was looking at the well, right? Dazi couldn't understand, he knew something, he saw a skeleton outside the coffin and was about to jump into the well--
Tako was stunned and remembered that he screamed in horror before he was unconscious, but he couldn't remember whether he called it or not. He just knew that when he woke up, he was already lying on the bed, and grandma was not in the room either. He hurriedly got out of bed, opened the door and prepared to look for grandma. As soon as he opened the door, a strong smoky smell suddenly came to his nose!
My mother was actually burning things. When Duozi stepped forward, she saw that it was nothing else. It was this picture that tortured grandma to death. But why did her mother suddenly burn it again? Did she find her conscience? No! Where is grandma? Where has grandma gone?
He suddenly looked up and saw the long son. His mother's face turned cold and scolded coldly: "What are you doing when you get up so early?! Since you can't sleep, go do farm work!"
When Duozi heard his mother say this, tears fell down without realizing it. He glared at his mother angrily, Duozi slammed the door and ran out-
"Grandma?Grandma!Grandma?!..."
Tako searched all over the front and back yards, but they didn't see grandma. Since it was not dawn, his vision was restricted and he couldn't see far. In the hazy, Tako heard a hint of weak sob coming from the distance. He looked closely and saw that there was no figure sitting there on the edge of the gray vegetable field and by the well. Tako's voice was slightly choked: "Grandma..."
"thump!"
Just as Tako was about to arrive at the well, the figure had already been thrown into the well. Tako was emotionally lost control for a moment, and almost ran to the well with all his strength, shouting loudly at the well: "Grandma! Grandma! Grandma..."
Until Duozi shouted loudly, until... until there were waves of dog barking from Shangshanpo Village, and noisy sounds came close to him. This was undoubtedly Duozi's crying alarmed the people from neighboring villages and was rushing here at this moment.
At this moment, Duozi felt that his shoulder was heavy, one big hand pressed his shoulder, and the other big hand covered his mouth, picked it up, and quickly rushed to the door of the house. It was his mother! The moment Duozi stopped, he hurriedly looked back. Wasn't it his mother who brought him back? Duozi looked at his mother in a daze, his eyes and heart were full of doubts, horror, and even disgust!
He wondered why, why grandma died, why did he hang a picture at home for no reason, why all this is?!
When the villagers arrived, the mother of many children immediately cried and shouted: "Mother-in-law, where have you been in the middle of the night?~~Woooo~~ You say something if you die or live, wuwu~~~"
