During this period, so many things have happened that I have overlooked the most important factor, which is the cause of the whole incident.
I remember the night of the incident, a woman came knocking on our door and said she was looking for her child, but my grandfather's behavior suddenly became extremely strange.
First he put on a shroud for me, then he went straight out the door. The next morning, my grandfather had mysteriously passed away.
Now that I suddenly remember, it seems like all of this has something to do with the woman who suddenly appeared that night?
Who was the woman who knocked on the door that night?
I couldn't even think of a woman in the entire village who could match her. Now, Xia Mo suddenly mentioned my mother's grave in the back mountain.
I had an extremely absurd and unbelievable thought in my heart. Could it be that the woman who knocked on the door that night was my mother?
I was startled by my own idea, my mother? How is that possible? My mother has been dead for eighteen years, and I'm afraid there's only a pile of bones left. How is this possible?
Thinking of this, I quickly waved away the thoughts in my mind, and at this moment, Xia Mo's voice suddenly came.
Now, hurry up and tell me the cause and process of these things happening in your family
Upon hearing Xia Mo's voice, my instinctive brow furrowed: "What do you mean? Right now? Don't you want the old corpse craftsman to know? Are you following me because of the old corpse craftsman
I stared at Xia Mo in front of me and immediately asked, I know Xia Mo is very beautiful, but I cannot ignore many things just because she is beautiful.
Regarding my question, Xia Mo suddenly smiled and said, "What? Do you doubt me? If you think I can't believe it, then I can leave now
Xia Mo is a decisive person. After speaking, she stared at me with both eyes. I remained silent, but Xia Mo turned around and walked straight ahead.
Seeing this, I felt anxious and quickly went up to grab Xia Mo.
I didn't mean it that way, you know, things in our family are a bit complicated, "I said, looking at Xia Mo, whose face also became a bit heavy at this moment.
I can tell you that the reason I followed you was indeed because I saw the old corpse craftsman, but it was for you. Although we don't have much friendship, at least you treated me to an ice cream, so I don't want to see you sacrifice your life in vain
As for more, I don't want to say too much. Saying too much is actually a cover up. You'll find out later
After speaking, Xia Mo turned around again, but I knew she wouldn't leave this time.
However, my heart became extremely solemn because of Xia Mo's words. Xia Mo's intention was already very clear, that the old corpse craftsman had a problem.
She wasn't planning to get involved before, but after seeing that the old corpse craftsman had a problem, she didn't want to see me die for nothing, so she followed me.
My heart has become a bit chaotic because of Xia Mo's words. The old corpse craftsman was brought by Mr. Liang, but now Xia Mo is telling me that the old corpse craftsman has a problem?
I am not a fool. For now, I can only listen to Xia Mo's words. Thinking of this, I quickly followed her.
After arriving home, it was almost time for dinner. I told my dad that the old corpse maker wouldn't be coming back for dinner, but he didn't say anything and asked me to go into the kitchen to serve the dishes.
When I got to the kitchen, my dad frowned and asked me, 'What's wrong with Xia Mo?'? I didn't hide anything, I just told my dad truthfully.
My grandmother spoke up on the side, saying that I'm not young anymore and it's time to find a wife. She also wants to hold her great grandson before going to the ground.
Upon hearing this, I was speechless for a moment. Why did the topic change so quickly?
At this moment, I also spoke up directly to tell my dad that I wanted to go and offer incense to my mother later, but as soon as I finished speaking, I noticed that my dad's expression had become incredibly heavy.
Did that girl let you go
I was stunned in my heart. I didn't expect my dad to guess directly, but I saw that his expression was a bit strange, saying that it was indeed Xia Mo who was going.
She asked about my mother, and I told her that she was no longer here. She said she would go and pay her respects.
My dad's furrowed brow didn't spread out. After a moment of contemplation, his deep voice came out: "You can go, remember to come back as soon as the incense is on
I have some doubts in my heart, I don't know why. When I say Xia Mo is going to worship my mother, my father's expression becomes a bit heavy.
Even on the side, Grandma's face turned a bit ugly.
I didn't ask much, I just walked out of the kitchen with the dishes and soon the meal was ready. When we were eating, the old corpse craftsman hadn't come back yet. To be honest, it was a bit embarrassing because they were doing things for us.
We are eating at home now, while the old corpse craftsman is busy outside, but it was his request, and I can't say anything about it.
After eating, I went to the hall to get incense, candles, paper money, and walked towards the back mountain with Xia Mo. Along the way, I saw Xia Mo's eyes constantly looking around, and I didn't know what she was looking at.
When I arrived at my mother's grave, I saw Xia Mo squatting in place, motionless. I pulled on Xia Mo and asked her what was wrong?
At this moment, Xia Mo looked at me with a serious expression and asked me if I was sure my mother died in childbirth?
I was once again stunned by Xia Mo's question and asked her what she meant by it? My mother passed away during childbirth, and that's what my father, grandmother, and grandfather all said.
Can they still deceive me? At this moment, Xia Mo shook her head and then looked at me, saying, "Have you ever thought of a possibility
I looked at Xia Mo's heavy face and my heart became a bit solemn, asking her what's possible?
After a moment of contemplation, Xia Mo spoke directly to me and said, "On the night of the incident, it was your mother who knocked on the door
Although I was already prepared, Xia Mo's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting my heart directly, making it difficult for me to breathe.
My chest kept heaving, but my heart was filled with indescribable shock. If my previous guess was just my own, now Xia Mo's guess coincides with mine.
I don't know what to say, but Xia Mo quickly spoke up and told me not to get excited. This is just a guess, and the specific things need to be taken slowly. For example, the most important thing now is to figure out how my mother died?
This is very important. Later, Xia Mo was born and told me that there was something suspicious about my mother's grave, and it was difficult for her to see through. On the surface, this piece of land seemed impossible to bury people.
Even a mediocre Yin Yang gentleman would not bury a person in this place, so she was very puzzled.
After speaking, Xia Mo took the candle from my hand and said to first offer incense to my mother.
When I realized it, Xia Mo had already started lighting candles. At this moment, Xia Mo glanced at the small grave bag beside her and asked me whose grave it was?
I said it's an unknown lonely tomb, but every time I come to offer incense to my mother, I will also pay my respects. Xia Mo nodded and didn't ask much.
After worshiping my mother, we placed a stick of incense on the nearby small grave. Then Xia Mo wandered around my mother's grave for a while. Finally, Xia Mo shook her head helplessly and whispered to herself, saying that she still hadn't seen anything.
We had no choice but to return. On the way, I couldn't resist and asked Xia Mo, "Did you find something that's why you came to pay respects to my mother's grave
After asking, I looked at Xia Mo and saw that her eyebrows were slightly furrowed. I thought Xia Mo wouldn't tell me, but I didn't expect her to speak up directly.
Not bad, actually as soon as I arrived, I noticed that the aura behind your house was a bit strange, but I couldn't say specifically. I thought I could see something after going there, but I overestimated myself
After speaking, Xia Mo fell silent and stopped talking. When we got home, we found that the old corpse craftsman had not returned yet.
When I got home, I kept thinking about what Xia Mo told me, how did my mother die? Did my dad and his team deceive me?
But I also feel that it's not appropriate to ask so suddenly, so I'm planning to think it over before asking again.
After waiting for more than an hour, the sky was getting dark, and I just saw a figure outside our yard, an old corpse craftsman.
My dad and I quickly greeted him and asked how the old corpse craftsman was doing?
The old corpse craftsman nodded and said, "I found it, but I still need to go and see for myself
Upon hearing this, we were suddenly delighted, and then my father asked the old corpse craftsman to eat first. He had been busy all afternoon, but he hadn't eaten anything. The old corpse craftsman nodded, probably really hungry.
My grandmother quickly went into the kitchen to heat up the dishes. When the old corpse craftsman finished eating, my father was planning to let him rest, but he stood up and said it was not too late. He asked me to take him to the back mountain of our house quickly.
Upon hearing this, both my father and I froze in place and fell silent for a moment. My father then spoke up and asked the old corpse craftsman, "Mr. Corpse, do you mean the piece of land you found is on the back mountain of our house
The old corpse craftsman nodded directly and asked my dad if there was anything wrong? My dad was stunned and couldn't speak for a long time.
The back mountain cannot be buried
At this moment, my grandmother, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke out loud.
The old corpse craftsman furrowed his brow, glanced at his grandmother, and then at my father, causing a moment of silence in the room.
After a while, my dad sighed and said, "I'll take you there
Looking at my father's heavy expression, I instinctively felt a hint of unease, and then I thought of my mother's grave on the back mountain.
Is all of this really related to my mother?
Otherwise, how could my dad show such an expression when the old corpse maker said he was looking for a place in the back mountain?
Is this just a coincidence? Or is there another reason? What does grandma mean?
