Chapter 119 Extra Story 1 Grave Sweeping

Tomb-sweeping season is the best time for rape blossoms in Yan Jiu's hometown.

From the train to the bus, from the bus to the minibus, Yan Jiu finally returned to this place where he had been away for four or five years.

Since he left the village, he only came back to visit the tomb a few times during the Ching Ming Festival, and Yan Ling took him with him.No matter how much Yan Jiu misses her grandparents, she can't bear to stay alone on a clear night in this place that left a huge psychological shadow on her when she was a child.

This year he came back alone, even the old people at the entrance of the village were quite surprised.

Carrying heavy luggage, he shyly said hello to the old people who watched him grow up, and then walked to the old house along the dirt road that had not changed for decades.

The thick and old gate was only locked with an ancient long bar lock. Yan Jiu took out a key from the ancient well nearby and opened the lock.

Chen Mu's aura rushed towards his face, time and space seemed to be stagnant in thick dust, Yan Jiu stood at the door and said softly "I'm back", before stepping into this old house full of memories.

There are only some simple furniture left in the uninhabited house, and even the pots and pans have been given to the neighbors, not to mention the hard-to-keep items such as bedding and sheets, so Yan Jiu’s luggage occupies a large part The biggest space is the sleeping bag.After simply cleaning the house, it was already noon.

The sun was shining warmly from outside, and someone’s cat came over, lying on the steps of the door, spreading its limbs to bask in the sun, everything was warm and quiet as if it had returned to the past.

Yan Jiu didn't want to leave in an instant.

Even if there is nothing here, he still wants to stay here for a few nights so that the house will not be so lonely.

When I was about to have lunch, I received a text message from Qiao Yuan: "What are you doing?" In the three simple words, there was some anger revealed for some reason.

Only then did Yan Jiu realize that he had dared to forget to take the initiative to send real-time news, so he didn't dare to delay, and immediately knocked on his mobile phone to reply that he arrived in the village at what time, how much time he spent cleaning the house, and what he planned to do now.

"Our side can finish today, you send me the route, and I will go there tomorrow." Qiao Yuan said again.

Yan Jiu's cheeks felt a little hot.

This year Yan Ling couldn't come back from Africa. After more than a year of training, Yan Jiu finally had the courage to come alone. But when Qiao Yuan knew that he was going back to the village, he asked to see how he grew up. place.

The Qiao family also has the task of sweeping graves during the Qingming Festival. After fighting hard, Qiao Yuan finally won two days of vacation. During these precious two days, he was willing to come to such a remote village to sweep graves. His seriousness made Yan Jiu feel ashamed It's strange that people don't feel shy when they come to propose marriage.

Knowing that Qiao Yuan was going to stay for one night, the house that had already been cleaned turned back to a dirty state in his eyes, Yan Jiu didn't plan to go out to eat anymore, so he ate two biscuits hastily, rolled up his sleeves and went back to the house. Do a cleanup.

After cleaning, it happened to be the time for sweeping the grave in the afternoon, and many people in the village were already walking around with various offerings.The original villagers who moved to other places and their descendants all rushed back at this time, and the village was suddenly much more lively than in the morning. The firecrackers lit by worshiping the ancestors rang out one after another from the nearby hills, and the noise was not like a festival related to death. .

Yan Jiu carried heavy offerings and paper money all the way up the mountain.This mountain is the main burial ground in the village, so there are many people on the mountain today. Yan Jiu didn't feel the eerieness that the cemetery should have at all, so she couldn't help laughing at herself who didn't dare to come alone to visit the grave.

Even though she is a descendant of a celestial master, Grandma Yan Jiu didn't choose any acupuncture points for herself before she was alive. This simple old man only showed the qualities of a celestial master's descendant in matters related to her daughter and grandson. At other times, she is no different from ordinary people .

The place of burial is the seat designated by the important old people in the village, next to the ancestors in the village.Because I haven’t been back for a long time, the grass on the grave has grown half a meter high. Yan Jiuzai carefully pulled out all the weeds, repaired the grave, wiped the tombstone, and put a new photo, and followed my mother’s instructions. The ones arranged the offerings one by one, lit incense, worshiped, and burned paper money.

After finishing this series of tasks, the sun is already fading away.The surrounding villagers have already started to descend the mountain.Someone who recognized Yan Jiu greeted him with a smile before going down the mountain: "Xiao Jiu, you actually finished it all by yourself?"

Yan Jiu smiled shyly and continued to toast to grandma.

"You've grown up!" The man's exclamation made his movements pause.

Yes, he has grown up and is already 22.Yan Jiu squatted in front of the tombstone in a daze.He cried farewell to this place ten years ago, and almost never dared to go up the mountain alone in ten years.In his eyes, everything related to death is hideous and terrifying.

Until I met Qiao Yuan.

Yan Jiu touched grandma's tombstone and whispered: "Grandma, my favorite person will come to see you tomorrow. It's a boy..."

He wondered if Grandma could really hear it.Even with his yin and yang eyes, he could no longer see their souls.Maybe they have been reincarnated long ago, and now they are the children of other people; they are still waiting for reincarnation in the ghost town, and they passed by themselves last time.

No matter what state he was in, Yan Jiu knew that his grave-sweeping behavior was just to commemorate these two old people, and all his confessions were actually for himself.

For a person who can enter the underworld, the significance of sweeping the grave is nothing more than to prove that the deceased once existed in this world.

After he finished all the worship work, he found that he was the only one left on the mountain.

It is still very cold at night in spring, especially on the mountain. When the mountain wind blows and the sun sets, the coldness and gloom belonging to the cemetery are rendered more obvious by the quiet graves.

...have to go.The hamster shook its fur, picked up the bamboo basket containing the unfinished offerings, and hurried down the mountain.

There are dense bamboo forests and big trees on the way down the mountain. Yan Jiu was running and jumping as he was about to rush home, when a sudden rustling sound behind him made him stop stiffly, and subconsciously turned around.

Nothing at all.

Hey, hey, nothing is scary.

Yan Jiu didn't dare to look at it any more, and ran away at high speed with the bamboo basket in hand.

However, rustling sounded again, and Yan Jiu felt that the sound was getting closer and closer, recalling the incident when someone encountered a mandrill on the mountain when she was a child, and the mother mandrill she had personally experienced, Yan Jiu's steps Become as fast as the devil.

But how did he expect that in the jungle, there is another creature with top running speed.

When he heard "Zhizhi" screaming, his hand hurt, and the bamboo basket in his hand was taken away!

"What..." He looked back in surprise at the black figure that had swept away his bamboo basket. In the shadow of the dark bushes, he finally saw a...

monkey? !

"Squeak!" Seven or eight monkeys yelled at him, as if they were warning this stupid human being.

...The monkeys now have become so arrogant!

Yan Jiu is angry. He is afraid of ghosts, but he is not afraid of monkeys, is he?The angry boy chased after the monkey who had snatched away his own bamboo basket. Since the monkey was holding a bamboo basket bigger than his body, Yan Jiu was about to catch up with him within two strokes.

As soon as he was about to touch the monkey's hair, Yan Jiu screamed a few times, and Yan Jiu felt his head being hugged by the monkey!

"...Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." The reason for the screams was that other monkeys hugged their limbs and fell to the ground.

If it weren't for the thick fallen leaves cushioning the ground, the fall would have been disfigured.

The boy on the street felt the monkeys stepping on his body and cheering away. After a long time, he recovered from the pain. When he got up, there was no sign of the monkeys in front of him?

When he returned to the village in disgrace, the adults looked at him and laughed and said, "Have you met a monkey?"

"You know?" He was stunned.

"In the past few years, the mountain has been taken over by monkeys, and even the people who grow fruit trees dare not go up. If the firecrackers hadn't been set off in the morning today, it would be difficult to go up the mountain to worship the ancestors." The adults chattered about the mountain. All kinds of troubles caused by monkeys, but the country has paid special attention to the protection of wild animals in recent years, and monkeys will not go down the mountain to cause trouble except to run wild on the mountain, so everyone didn't bother to drive the monkeys away.

Yan Jiu touched his nose, thinking that he was not the first person to suffer from the monkey, and finally he was not too ashamed.

After eating at the neighbor's house at night, Yan Jiu sat quietly on the threshold of the old house, watching the sky full of stars that can only be seen in the countryside.

With such a beautiful day and beautiful scenery, he can obviously play the role of a quiet and handsome man.

If it wasn't for the uninvited guest in front of him appearing in front of him with the ugliest appearance.

"I wipe it ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah..." The hamster who was so startled fell on his back and almost hit his head.

"Long time no see." This man with his feet off the ground, wet all over, and his eyes turned white, appeared in front of him with the most primitive appearance of a water ghost, and said with a pale and bloodless grin.
