C2 (2/2)
Since someone came, I got Old Yellow to quickly ask everyone if Aunt Hong ever said anything to them. Take things into consideration, so that Red Auntie can go on the road.
One of the kids said that when Auntie Hong saw that his school bag looked good last week, she asked him where he bought it, and also wanted to buy one for Huang Yuan.
When Aunt Hong was delirious, she sometimes thought that Huang Yuan was still a child.
This is a point, I sent a relative to buy a children's school bag.
At around 10 AM, no one came to burn paper at Old Yellow's house anymore. I didn't sleep all night, so I went back to sleep. As soon as it was dark, Old Yellow sent someone to my house to call me.
When we got to Old Yellow's house, Old Yellow said worriedly, ”What if Auntie Hong still refuses to close her eyes when she sees Huang Yuan?” If you don't close your eyes, don't bury your words. Just pour some kerosene and burn them.
I almost couldn't resist punching Lao Huang, saying loudly that Hong Aunt refused to close her eyes just because she refused to go on the road. Forcefully forcing her to travel was useless. If he burned her, her vengeful spirit would continue to haunt Old Yellow.
Old Yellow's tears flowed down as it listened. What if Aunt Hong hated him and kept hitting him before, then she wanted him to die with her so he closed his eyes?
It turned out that he had been thinking about this for a whole day.
I wanted to frighten Lao Huang, so I said if that was the case, I wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
At around 9 PM, Huang Yuan came back. He was quite big and seemed to be two or three years older than me.
I lifted the cloth from Auntie Hong's face, allowing her to look at Huang Yuan, but she still didn't close her eyes.
The moment Huang Yuan saw Aunt Hong, his eyes turned red. Shrinking his nose, he called for his mother, saying that he was sorry. It was not because he didn't like her that he didn't come back, but because he couldn't bear to see Aunt Hong being bullied by the weasel. He was very sad that Auntie Hong died. He felt that he was unfilial and had no face to come back and see her for the last time, so he had to find an excuse in the beginning to not be able to come back.
It seems that this Huang Yuan has a good conscience, let me be a little gratified for Aunt Hong.
But now that Huang Yuan was back and Aunt Hong had seen him for the last time, why didn't she close her eyes?
Old Yellow anxiously asked me, what should I do?
I had no choice but to walk to Hong Aunt's side and say to her, ”Aunt Hong, in this life, there will be a marriage between a husband and wife, and a mother. ”If you refuse to go on the road, then you won't be good to Huang Yuan either. You're delaying him from working so you want him to have some potential, don't you?”
After saying this, Hong Aunt's eyes were still staring straight ahead.
I had Huang Yuan kowtow a few more times to Hong Aunt, but she still refused to close her eyes.
Was the body stiff? I touched her eyelids and closed them, but when I took them away her eyes opened again.
I thought maybe I really couldn't close it, so I said to Lao Huang, ”Let's see if we can lift the coffin.” The three of us lifted a corner at the same time, but the coffin did not move at all, as if it were nailed to the ground.
I told Old Yellow that there was nothing I could do now. I wanted to go home and ask my grandpa so that he and his son could try accompanying Hong Aunt for the night.
Since I had Huang Yuan to keep me company, Old Yellow also told me to go back, but kept my phone number, telling me to call if anything happened and not to turn off my phone.
After I returned home, I told Grandpa about the situation. I said that I couldn't drag it out like this, and would there be any way to force Hong Aunt to go on the road?
Grandfather said that there is a way, but Auntie Hong's life is miserable, you can't even suffer like that after death, let me ask again, Auntie Hong must still have something on her mind. We are spirit givers on the road, the key is a ”send” word, if forced to come, it is on the road, there is no point in losing their original intention.
I lay in bed thinking, gradually a terrible thought rose up in my mind, Red won't close her eyes, is it because she didn't slip into the water by her own feet, but was pushed down?
