Chapter 36: Grandma Wen's Abnormalities
Facing the sudden cry of the old man, Lao Zhou and I were at a loss. After all, an old man in his twilight suddenly cried in front of others. No matter what the reason was, it always touched the weakest nerve of people and made people feel sympathy. What can we do with sympathy?
After all, Lao Zhou and I are big men, so naturally we don’t know what to say next, and we can only be at a loss when we do something.
Originally, I sensed some yin energy that could not be traced back in the room. I had not carefully distinguished what this yin energy belonged to. When the old lady cried, all my thoughts were interrupted.
Lao Zhou is a softer guy in his heart. He acted more obviously than me. His eyes suddenly turned red. He couldn't say anything except saying to the old lady: "Stop crying, stop crying."
Fortunately, the middle-aged woman followed her into the house and watched the old lady crying. The two of us were unable to speak for a while, but she interrupted in the middle: "Grandma Wen, Zhao Ying is gone. Everyone knows that you are sad. But the school leader is here. How can you cry and let others talk? It is not easy for others to come so far away, at least let others drink a few sips of water?"
While talking, the middle-aged woman stood up, twisted a handkerchief, handed it to Grandma Wen, and barely found two pretty clean bowls, and poured a glass of water for Lao Zhou and me.
During this process, Grandma Wen finally stopped crying and Lao Zhou reacted quickly. He had already taken out the 1,500 yuan from my hand and stuffed it into the old man's hand, saying, "Grandma Wen, this is the school's intention, you just take it."
Grandma Wen looked at me in a touch, but was embarrassed to take the money.
Originally, in this kind of scene, I was the one who couldn't tell anything, but at this moment, I suddenly couldn't help but speak and said, "Yes, Grandma Wen, just take the money. I heard my aunt talk about the situation in your family. You must hide the money. If you are hungry and thirsty, ask the aunt next door to buy you some food and drinks. Don't treat yourself badly, don't find it for your family."
"That's right, Grandma Wen, this young man is right. They can't find out about this money. They either use it to play cards or waste it." The aunt also said with help. At this time, the eyes of Lao Zhou and I were a little more friendly, obviously she was sure that we were not bad people.
After all, this family is already a rare poor person in this era, so there is nothing to be forgotten by the thief who comes to the door and gives a sum of money. What other purpose can it have?
Perhaps, because of the touch, Grandma Wen started to cry again. She suddenly grabbed my hand and used a strength that was obviously not the old man should have to put the money back into my hand. She had not spoken much. She suddenly looked at me and Lao Zhou and said, "Two comrades, I can see that you are good people and you are good people. I don't want money. I'm so old, money is useless. Live one day is just one day. It's just that we Zhao Ying died. If you want to help her get justice, she will die an unjust."
"Oh, Grandma Wen Zhao Ying is sick, why do you say such things when you meet people again? Stop saying it, keep the money in your pocket." Obviously, this is not the first time the middle-aged woman next to her has heard of such things, so she quickly persuaded the old man.
This attitude is natural. Not only did Zhao Ying's illness agree with her neighbors, but even her death report was clearly written. I am not very clear about what kind of disease it was. However, Lao Zhou said that this disease is dangerous and there are too many cases where the cause of the disease cannot be fully identified before the patient's death. It can only be proved that it was not poisoning or human harm, and generally it will not be investigated too deeply.
In short, the death report said it was about heart disease, and such sudden deaths are generally attributed to the heart.
Of course, this is my judgment, and there is no authoritative medical personnel to support me. In my eyes, Lao Zhou is definitely not an authoritative medical personnel. I always feel that this old man knows something, and the attitude of a middle-aged woman was naturally ignored by me.
Just as I was thinking about how to continue this and how I spoke, a child came out of the next room and shouted: "Mom, dad, when will you come back to make dinner?"
Yes, it is almost time to cook dinner, except for Zhao Ying's house, no one came back, and the sound of pots and pans came from the rest of the house, and the smell of food came from the middle-aged woman who was urging her, smiled awkwardly, and could only explain to the three of us apologetically, and went home in a hurry.
Actually, she is there, and I am not easy to talk to. After she left, Lao Zhou and I looked at each other. I stuffed the old man back the money in my hand, then put it firmly back into the old man's hand, and then said to the old man: "Grandma Wen, you should take the money first, no matter what, if you think Zhao Ying was wronged, you can slowly tell us what's going on? If there is really any injustice, we can see if we can help?"
Facing our attitude, Grandma Wu was confused. Although she was old, I found that she was not confused. She looked at us in disbelief and asked: "What did I say? Can you all believe it?"
At this time, Lao Zhou and I naturally could not easily expose our purpose. Lao Zhou quickly continued: "Zhao Ying is a very outstanding classmate. She suddenly passed away. We were sad and naturally confused. Grandma Wen, what is the need for you, an old man, to lie?"
Old Zhou was indeed very good at speaking. He avoided the important and blamed the old man for not lying and did not continue the old man's words, so that the old man would not be scruples and would not say anything.
I have to say that Lao Zhou's words eased the old man's heart. After receiving such encouragement, the old man made up his mind to say: "Our family Yingying was definitely not dying of illness, it must be something that harmed her! What I saw was something that harmed her."
"What?" I didn't expect that I could get such an answer from an old man. I couldn't control my emotions for a while, so I couldn't help but ask.
"Don't you believe me?" The old man's expression instantly returned to a sad and helpless look.
Lao Zhou immediately said: "It's not that I don't believe the old man." When he said this, Lao Zhou glanced at me. Our tacit understanding made me know what he would say next. I nodded slightly. After Lao Zhou understood, he continued: "Even if people in the world don't believe that something is harming Zhao Ying, he definitely believed it."
"Why? Why did he believe it? For this reason, I begged Yingying's parents to find the Taoist priest, but the Taoist priest said that I was entangled by Yingying's soul and sang and made a fuss at home, so that's fine. Could it be that he is also a Taoist priest?" Obviously, once he really got affirmation, it was this Grandma Wen who didn't believe it.
After knowing that she had such an experience, I felt relieved. After all, there is indeed this phenomenon in this society. By relying on this to deceive people, many old ladies are deceived and will naturally be more alert.
Faced with these things, I naturally didn't have to speak. Lao Zhou said: "He is also a Taoist priest, but he doesn't rely on this to live, but his family has ancestral skills. He understands these things, but some family reasons will not easily take action. Grandma Wen, you see that this has happened, we won't say that we can solve this problem, but what if it can?"
Lao Zhou's words were basically invincible, and he even dispelled Grandma Wen's doubts in just a few words. She thought that it was the same. Anyway, she had heard of it for so many people, and everyone's attitude was considered to be "superstitious" by her, and it didn't matter to say more to us. So she wiped away her tears, stabilized her emotions a little, and began to tell us about this.
"I said that Zhao Ying was harmed by someone because I am an old man and I slept lightly. I don't know why over the years, but I can see those things gradually. Do you know what it is? The year before, Lao Qian died in the alley next door, didn't I go to the mourning hall? Lao Qian and I have known each other for decades, and I thought about my old friend, guarding the night and sending him a little more, but I was in poor health. I fell asleep in a daze at night. I roared like awake but not awake, and I saw Lao Qian standing alone on the coffin." After Grandma Wen said this, she looked at us with some vigilance and hope.
That way, it seems like we are afraid that we will not believe this.
Lao Zhou did not respond and gave Grandma Wen an encouraging look to signal her to continue saying that if he had changed the past, even if he had this attitude, he would definitely be to perfunctory and comfort the old man, but for him who had just met a group of people last night, this attitude was very natural.
But I was not that simple. I seemed to have caught something. It is said that the old man's yang fire is lower. By chance, I just said that it is very possible to see the 'friends over there' in a very special situation.
But Grandma Wen's tone seemed to be, can she see it often? What does this mean? Does this have anything to do with Zhao Ying's death?
