For several hours, many people came and went in front of Lechuan, but no one stopped to look at the cloth umbrella placed in front of Granny Zhong.
Her voice was hoarse, but the people turned a deaf ear, and one by one they stood on tiptoe and slowly passed by the stall, as if she and her stall did not exist at all.
After a few more hours, Granny Zhong was so sleepy that her eyelids began to fight, she simply shrunk into a ball and raised an umbrella over her head to cover the wind and rain above her head.
From a distance, she looked like a boulder perched next to the Lethe River, and if it weren't for the sound of snoring coming from under the umbrella from time to time, the spirits passing by might have really thought of her as a strangely shaped boulder.
Soon, Granny Zhong fell asleep, the dream was very weird, like a dream and like a memory, examining the memories she had been avoiding all her life, recovering them from the depths of her heart little by little, and placing them in front of her one by one.
A month ago, she was planting in the vegetable garden, it was late at night, the wind was high and the autumn moon was white, and the scenery was very pleasant.
Just as she hit a hard dirt ground with her hoe, she heard several sounds of digging below, and then the earth under the hoe caved in, revealing a long pit inside.
She was about to lean down to check when suddenly, a golden object bounced out of the pit and landed at her feet.
"What is this?"
Granny Zhong picked it up, and she felt her heartbeat skip a few beats, "Gold bars?
” Before the words fell, a shrill voice suddenly came out of the cave, the voice was extremely cold, and the words could not be connected with each other, and the words were broken and intermittent, and when I heard it, I had been in the underground for a long time, and I was not even able to speak.
However, Granny Zhong still understood what it meant, and she said, "Do me a favor, this gold bar is yours." ” "What's the busy?"
Without even thinking about it, these three words blurted out.
The voice below smiled, "Easy, you just need to come down and replace me for a few days, and when I finish the above things, I will replace you." ” Granny Zhong felt a chill behind her, "What are you going to do when you come up?"
” He laughed twice, "Old woman, what are you afraid of, you have done everything I have done, if it weren't for the heavy taste of your land, how would I be attracted here?"
” Granny Zhong saw that the secret she had hidden for decades was exposed, and her face was quite unbearable, "It's not okay for the old woman to do those things, she was poor in those years, and she couldn't even eat meat during the New Year, and I also looked at the baby pitiful."
There was another burst of laughter below, and this laughter clearly said: It's good that everyone knows some things, if I don't demolish you, you won't act with me anymore.
After the laughter, the voice sounded again, "Old woman, then let's talk about it, you come here on time at three o'clock in the afternoon tonight, I will go up, you come down, and in three days, I will come back to replace you." ” The rain fell heavier, smashing on the umbrella surface, and Granny Zhong opened her sleepy eyes and looked at the calm surface of Lechuan, and fell into sleep again.
This time she dreamed of the Wen family's child, who passed by her door that day, and the copper plate in the money bag clanged.
"Wen Xiu, where are you going on this hot day?"
"My mother is sick, I'll go to the city to get some medicine for her."
"It's really a filial piety, come to your mother-in-law's place to drink a bowl of water and then leave, it's still far from Xin'an City, don't your mother's illness is cured, you yourself are sick."
"Mother-in-law, why do you have a strange smell in this water?"
"Wen Xiu, sleep, sleep and everything has passed."
Granny Zhong twisted her body, changed directions, and continued to take a nap.
"Mrs.
Chen, I'll send satin to my daughter early this morning."
"She just got married into someone else's family, and I made her a few good clothes, so that she could please her father-in-law and in-laws."
"This satin is so nice, it's cool and slippery to the touch, as if it's reflective."
"I made a special trip to transport someone from Lin'an, and I walked for half a month on the road."
"You haven't eaten breakfast yet, do you, I just steamed buns here, and I'll get you one to fill your stomach?"
"What's so embarrassing about that?"
Granny Zhong let out a sneer in her dream: Although I didn't dare to wear those satins later, I sold them for a good price in the city, and this Chen family's mother-in-law did not die in vain.
Who else is coming?
By the way, the girl of the Hu family, you said that it was a cold day, what kind of Buddha did you worship when you went up the mountain alone, just worship, but you still have to carry such a valuable jade bracelet, then Hugh will blame the old man for being polite.
And the drunken man, although he lost all his money in the casino, the jade plate on his waist was worth a few dollars.
As for those travelers who fled over, it was even easier to deal with, they were temporarily living here, and no one would remember if they didn't see one or two every day, but the corpses were a little troublesome to dispose of, and the old women and men who dug the pits and dug their hands were about to be broken.
However, the family heirloom treasures they brought with me were not in vain for me to lose a few nails.
Who else?
There are many more, but those memories are very old, and many of them are not clear anymore.
By the way, how did I forget him, after so many years, he will always appear in his dreams from time to time, with a pair of blood-red eyes wide.
Granny Zhong's body trembled, she was startled by herself in her dream, she opened her eyes, and saw a figure standing in front of the stall, the person was wearing an earthy yellow robe, holding an umbrella with one hand, covering her face.
Granny Zhong rubbed her eyes, "Guest officer, but you want to buy an umbrella?"
The old woman's umbrella is exquisite, but it is much better than the one in your hand, you see that it rains here all the year round, take a few more, and you will definitely use it in the future. ” The man didn't say a word, took out a few handfuls of gold bars from his pocket and put them on the ground, picked up a random umbrella and turned away.
Granny Zhong didn't care about the rain, she rushed over and grabbed those gold bars in her hand, and smiled so much that her eyes were sunken into it, "Oh, it's a big deal, I didn't expect that there are such generous people in the underworld, what kind of good luck is this for the old woman." ” Hearing her noise, the person who bought the umbrella stopped, and Granny Zhong thought that he was going to regret it, so she was so frightened that she didn't dare to move, and held the gold bar in her hand tightly, and her nails were all sore from chrome.

But the man stood only for a moment, and then walked forward with his umbrella, and the earthy yellow figure flickered in the slanting wind and drizzle, and soon disappeared.
Granny Zhong got up from the ground, looked at the figure in the distance, she felt in a trance that this person seemed familiar, as if she had made a heavy stroke in her life, she bit her nails, walked a few steps forward, and chased the disappeared back, but at this moment, the gold bar in her hand slipped out of her fingers, crackling and falling all over the ground.
Granny Zhong was startled, and quickly squatted down and put them away one by one.
She laughed: no one is human, as long as there is this gold, nothing else is bullshit.
