"Auntie," I shouted to her before I reached her door.
The old aunt seemed to be suddenly woken up from her sleep. She felt uneasy for a moment, then squinted her eyes and looked towards me.
I came with the light behind me, so her eyes basically couldn't open.
After a while, the old aunt seemed to recognize me, and then said: "It turns out to be Cang'er, please sit in the room."
As the old lady said this, she stood up and was about to move into the house.
At this moment, I happened to walk in front of her. I stretched out my hand and held her wrist, and then said: "Don't bother me, old aunt, I just went to the vegetable market and brought some food for you."
Just some fruit."
I said, and gently placed the film bag containing the fruit in my hand on the threshold of the old aunt's house.
"How did this happen, Cang'er, you can take it home and eat it yourself." The old aunt's hands full of grooves were about to pick up the fruit bag.
"Old aunt, just accept it. I feel embarrassed for pushing it back and forth like this."
As I said that, I looked into the yard, then stepped one foot into the slightly high stone threshold, picked up a low bamboo stool, and then put my foot back.
"Old aunt, please chat with me for a while, otherwise I will be too bored." I placed the low bamboo stool next to her bamboo and rattan stool with a backrest, and then sat down directly.
"You kid, you are almost thirty years old, and you have always been so glib. Are you still worried that there is no one to talk to you?" the old aunt said, suddenly looking a little sad: "That girl is really nice.
, if your grandma were here, she would be so happy to see you bringing such a beautiful girl home."
"Old aunt, do you know why my grandma died?" I squatted next to the old aunt, held her hand and said.
"I don't know the specifics, but the day before your grandma passed away, I took a pot of cooked beans to your yard. I originally wanted to give your grandma a taste, but I didn't expect to hear your grandparents arguing.
." The old aunt stared at the three slightly stilted steps under the eaves and said in a trance.
"My grandparents had a dispute. What did they have a dispute over?" I shook the old aunt's hand to bring her back to her senses, and then asked.
"I don't know the specifics, but from what they said, it seems to be related to the golden silkworm." The old aunt said.
"Golden silkworm? Are they quarreling because of the golden silkworm?" The old aunt's words surprised me a little.
Is there anything special about the golden silkworm that grandma gave me? Otherwise, grandpa probably wouldn't be so excited when he saw grandma giving me the golden silkworm.
"Cang'er, you may not know that although your grandma also raises voodoos, she has helped many people with the voodoos she raised. In the past, the conditions in the village were poor and there was a lack of medical treatment. Whenever a villager got sick,
, it was your grandma who used her golden silkworm to save people," the old aunt seemed to be trapped in a distant memory.
"I'm not very sure about this, because every time grandma uses voodoo, she is very secretive. She seems to be very taboo about her own voodoo skills," I said.
"She is such an open-minded person, why would she feel ashamed because she knows voodoo? The reason why she hides it every time she uses voodoo is because of your grandfather." The old aunt said, staring at the original
His gaze shifted from the steps and fell on my face.
"My grandpa?" I repeated, "What happened to my grandpa?"
"Your grandfather has always been against her using voodoo," the old aunt said.
"I know this, because grandpa thinks these are feudal superstitious activities and cannot be trusted." I said.
"No," the old aunt turned her hands over and held my palm: "The reason why your grandpa objects to your grandma using golden silkworms is because every time your grandma uses voodoo to save people, her body will suffer backlash. Your grandpa
I feel sorry for your grandma, so I have always been strongly opposed to her using witchcraft."
It turns out that this is what happened.
If this is the case, in the cave of Shentang Bay, the golden silkworm spun out all its golden threads and died in order to deal with the iron-worm people.
Is it because of this that grandma died suddenly?
That's why when grandma handed me the golden silkworm, grandpa's reaction was so intense.
It turns out that grandma died because of me.
"But, your grandma is such a good person, how could she not save people even when she was about to die? So later on, she secretly saved people without telling your grandpa."
The old aunt was still talking, but I couldn't listen anymore. My whole mind was filled with scenes of golden silkworms spinning silk.
"Later, our life improved and the hospital was built at the entrance of the village. Your grandma listened to your grandpa and stopped using the golden silkworms."
…
"I just don't know why the two of them suddenly quarreled over the golden silkworm that day."
"Your grandpa was very excited, but as soon as they saw me coming in, they suddenly became silent in unison, and I wisely withdrew."
"Cang'er, I think Danyin's sudden death must be related to Jincan. Such a good person, how unkind is God."
The old aunt is wiping tears.
I stood up silently and originally wanted to walk home, but I wasn't paying attention, my feet slipped, and I actually fell down the steps under the eaves.
The three steps were originally not too high, but as soon as I rolled down, I felt pain everywhere in my body.
It was as if there was a stream of blood flowing under the skin, trying hard to break out.
Why is the sun so dazzling at ten o'clock in the morning?
I looked up at the sky and felt very dizzy.
"Cang'er, how are you?"
The old aunt also stumbled down and tried to help me up.
However, my whole body was soft, and the cement-paved floor was full of potholes, one big and one small.
I got up by myself, but before I could take two steps, I fell to the ground again.
There was a lot of golden light flashing in front of my eyes. I felt so dizzy and dizzy that I couldn't open my eyes at all.
Just like that, I lost consciousness.
The moment before I lost consciousness, I seemed to hear the old aunt shouting "Girl, girl."
Probably Xiangyu is here.
…
When I woke up, I was already in my bed.
Surrounding the bed are Xiangyu, Chen Mo and Zhou Lan.
Zhou Lan and the others are here.
I sat up immediately, but my head was still very dizzy, so I almost fell down again at the same time I sat up.
"Zhou Cang, you woke up. You scared me to death. When the old aunt came to call for help, she said that you were dying. My legs immediately went weak." Xiang Yu sat on the edge of my bed and babbled.
Talking.
"Xiao Cang, how are you?" Seeing that I woke up, Zhou Lan took a few steps forward and asked me.
"Brother," I called Zhou Lan, and then I felt a stiffness in my throat, and suddenly I couldn't say anything.
"Take good care of yourself first. Don't worry. Grandpa and parents are not at home, so I will take care of you." Zhou Lan looked at me and said lightly.
At this moment, I seemed to feel the meaning of my relatives.
My words were even more choked in my chest, but tears fell down unsatisfactorily.
"Xiang Yu, let's go cook. Just let Zhou Lan take care of Zhou Cang here." Chen Mo suddenly said to Xiang Yu.
Xiangyu immediately realized Chen Mo's intention, so he stood up from the edge of the bed and said, "Then let's go out first and call you when we can eat later."
Chen Mo took Xiang Yu and left my room. When he walked out of the room, he gently closed the door.
"Brother," seeing them all leaving, the emotions I had been holding back finally collapsed, "I was the one who killed grandma, I was the one who killed her."
"Cang'er, from the moment I saw Jincan, I knew that grandma couldn't be saved." Zhou Lan sat on the edge of my bed and said calmly.
