Chapter 3 Stele (Three)

Even as early spring approaches, there is no sign of the sun.

I followed my grandfather to go up the mountain and felt even more terrifying.

When I arrived at the back, I helped my grandfather walk slowly, and the black cloth bag was hung on my shoulders.

This mountain is not far from my grandfather's house, but I have never heard of anyone saying that you can go up the mountain from here.

The winding path is overgrown with weeds, as if it has entered a secret forest.

Not long after walking forward, I arrived at a flat ground where a thatched hut stood and several sparse tombs.

There was a big pit behind one of the tombstones, which was covered with a red cloth, and there was a stone pressing on it.

On the ground next to it, there is an empty monument in the shape of a tombstone.

"Engrave your name." Grandpa said, pointing to the empty monument.

"It's that simple?"

"I'll talk about it when you finish carving."

After saying that, my grandfather turned around and went into the thatched hut to rest.

I looked around and saw that there was no one around, so quiet that I had to follow what my grandfather said.

After putting the cloth bag on the ground, I went up to see the empty monument. It can be seen that the empty monument was not located here before, and there were obvious drag marks next to it.

Has my second cousin also been here to carve a monument? Why didn’t it succeed?

I stopped thinking about those things, took out the tool for engraving the stele from the cloth bag, and just fixed the empty stele in my hand, a gust of wind suddenly blew.

I shivered and turned around, my mind was blank, and I was left with this thing in my hand, and the engraving monument.

I have never learned how to use the tool for carving the stele, but my hands seemed to have my own consciousness. I skillfully picked up the hammer and chisel, and began to carve my name on the blank stele bit by bit.

The crisp sound of the hammer hit echoed. After the last stroke was carved, the tombstone in front of me looked like a door, slowly cracking from the middle. Countless hands stretched out from the door to pull me, with wrinkled hands,

Bloody hands, delicate and slender hands

"Star!" Grandpa's voice exploded in his ears.

When the wind blew, I came back to my senses and happened to see the red cloth pressed by the stone beside me blown up. The one engraved on it was exactly my grandfather's name!

It seemed as if everything just now was my hallucination.

Behind him, my grandfather sighed softly, "Come here after the carving."

I put down the tools in my hand and stood up tremblingly.

Grandpa led me to a tombstone named Yousheng, "Kneel down and kowtow three times, and you will be my successor from now on."

After kowtowing three times, I still asked my questions. I didn't believe that the door that appeared on the tombstone just now was my hallucination.

It turns out that we engraved stelemen not only carving the tombstone, but a Yin Gate connecting Yin and Yang, which directly leads to the Hall of Yama.

But my grandfather has carved it for many years and has never happened what I saw just now. After speculating, I think I might be talented?

"We must first carve a tombstone for ourselves in this job." Grandpa erected my tombstone next to his tombstone, then took out a piece of red cloth from the thatched hut, covered it with the same cover, and then searched it on the ground.

A stone was pressed down. "You will live here for the next three days and dig your own pit. I will ask your mother to deliver the food to you on time."

"?" I looked confused and just watched my grandfather slowly moving away.

The sky slowly became darker, and I couldn't help but almost swear when I entered the thatched hut.

As soon as you enter the door, you will find a set of wooden seats, next to them is a stove cut from stone.

There is a door on both sides of the left and right, but the wooden door on the right is locked, and there is only a stone-cut kang in the room on the left, and there is actually a wet quilt on the kang.

If I don't burn the kang, I will be frozen to death if I can't survive tonight.

Just as I was igniting the fire, I heard my mother calling me outside.

"mom!"

She put on the flashlight and took nothing for me. She came up and pulled me back, "Go! Come home with me."

I was pulled and followed my mother with a darkened face.

"I said at that time that I wouldn't let you try. What does their family matter have to do with you? If you ask you to inherit your grandfather's skills, do you still want to study?"

I felt very kind to listen to my mother's nagging, but she pulled me around and turned around, but she still returned to the thatched hut.

"What's going on! It's not haunted!"

Her flashlight swept across the tombs, and took my hand and began to sweat slightly. As soon as the wind blew, the red cloth covering the cemetery and the outer court was blown up. My mother swept the flashlight and called out.

, left me and ran away.

"Mom!" I called out twice but didn't respond, so I had to run down the mountain, but I went back to the thatched hut by myself.

After a long struggle, I burned the kang. There was no electricity in the house, only an old kerosene lamp.

"Xingxing! It's time to eat!"

Listen to the sound, this time it's my dad.

"Dad, why are you here? Where are my mom? Are you back?"

My dad not only brought me food, but also brought me a dry quilt.

"I'm back, what did you tell her? Why did you get sick when you go back? I kept saying there are ghosts and ghosts, and I'm still saying you're dead? I almost gave her a big mouth, so how can I curse you to death

, Or is it your real mother?"

"You have also seen so many graves outside, maybe they didn't see clearly because they were dark, so they were scared." I don't know how much my father knew about the carving of the monument, so I could only cover up the past lightly.

You can't say that my grandfather asked me to carve a grave for myself.

"So did your grandfather? Why did you, a girl, live in the mountains? When I came to deliver the meal, I also reminded me to go down the mountain early, Xingxing, why don't you go back with your father?"

"It's okay, Dad, my grandfather said, this is the rule, why don't you leave your phone for me, and I'll call you right away if there is anything." Actually, I don't know why I'm so brave, alone

Dare to live in this thatched hut.

In the end, my dad went down the mountain, leaving me alone.

I looked at it at nine o'clock. I just lie down and go to bed. The sound of the door opening came from the door.

Who is this? It's like a market trip, making me feel a little impatient.

I don’t know what happened. After carving my own monument, I felt very tired and always wanted to have a good sleep.

I got up from the bed impatiently, and as soon as I walked to the door, I took a look at the other person.

This is a strange man who looks to be in his twenties.

I swear I've never seen such a handsome person less real than a male star on TV, "Who are you?"

"I'm Yousheng."
