Chapter 010 Grandma Cuicui's Accident

I looked at Grandma and felt a bit nervous. I didn't dare to say much. I crouched down and started digging. Since there were stones all along the riverbank, as soon as I scraped a few times, some sharp stones instantly cut my finger. My heart tightened at that moment, and then I looked up at Grandma. "My hand is cut." Grandma looked at me without changing her expression. "Keep going!" I could only grit my teeth and continue digging. Just as I dug out a small pit, suddenly a strong wind blew on the riverbank. I immediately felt a chill as if winter had arrived. Grandma stood there without moving. She just looked at me and then threw her shoe into the pit. "Bury it!" The wind on the riverbank grew stronger and stronger. I felt as if I was about to be blown away. I had a feeling of being extremely cold yet with a strange sense of unease. I crouched down and forced myself to cover Fengxia's shoe with some stones. Then, trembling, I grabbed Grandma and stood up. "Grandma! Let's go home quickly. The wind is so strong!!!" But Grandma suddenly squatted down, grabbed my hand, and used my cut finger to draw a crooked shape on the stone above the buried shoe, something that looked like a talisman. I was completely scared out of my wits. On the one hand, I was afraid of being blown away by the wind, and vaguely, I seemed to be able to hear a woman's scream in the wind. On the other hand, I felt that Grandma's hand was a bit heavy. Pressing it on the stone and scratching it roughly made me feel a bit of pain. But before I could open my mouth, Grandma finished drawing the talisman. As soon as she let go of my hand, the wind stopped instantly. I was stunned. I didn't know what was going on for a long time. It felt like a dream. The sky suddenly turned a vivid blue, and there was no wind anymore. I could even hear the cicadas buzzing. This change was too sudden. However, Grandma's body suddenly went limp. She plopped down on the pile of stones next to me. I was shocked and looked at Grandma. "Grandma, what's wrong with you!!!" Grandma's eyes were a bit dull. It took me a long time of shouting before she slowly came to. She directly looked at the stone where she had just drawn with my hand and pointed at it. "What is this?" "This is what you drew with my hand just now." I blurted out directly, thinking that Grandma couldn't have forgotten so quickly. Grandma looked at that stone for a long time before nodding and saying, "It's the will of heaven, the will of heaven." I didn't understand what Grandma meant. Looking at her, I said, "Grandma, what's really going on? You scared me just now." "It wasn't me just now. It was the old immortal in our family." Grandma looked at me and said softly. "It seems that the old immortal in our family thinks it's time for you to get involved in these things." I didn't understand Grandma's words. Looking at her, I said, "Grandma, what do you mean?" Grandma grabbed my hand and stood up. "From now on, when Grandma goes out to deal with these matters, you can come with me. Grandma has to make your courage bigger first and make you stop being afraid of those things. Jiaolong, there are a lot of things that Grandma will tell you slowly later." Later, I learned that Grandma took me to the riverbank to bury the shoe because she actually wanted to trap Fengxia there. But if some child or someone went to play by the river and dug up that shoe, Fengxia would be released. However, when the old immortal possessed Grandma, she used my blood to draw a talisman on the stone above the shoe. That talisman meant that even if one day the shoe was dug out by someone, Fengxia wouldn't be able to come out and cause trouble for people anymore. Grandma said that I was a person with both yin and yang natures, so my blood was also inherently a mixture of yin and yang and had a fierce qi that could dispel evil. I was a bit confused and didn't quite understand. But vaguely in my heart, I knew that my blood was special and could ward off evil. When I was walking back with Grandma, I turned around and took a look. The mountain on the other side of the river was covered with lush greenery. Suddenly, I actually saw a flash of red. Even though it was clearly far away, I could see it clearly. It was that child, and he was waving at me. I quickly turned my face and looked at Grandma. "Grandma! There's a child!!!" Grandma was taken aback for a moment. She looked in the direction I was pointing and then frowned. "Where is there a child? Jiaolong, did you see things wrongly?" I carefully looked at the place where I had just seen the child. Sure enough, there was nothing there. I shook my head, thinking that maybe I really had seen things wrongly.

"Grandma, will you let me go with you every time you go out to deal with those things in the future?" I asked Grandma as we were walking back. Grandma nodded and let out a hum. "Do you want to follow Grandma?" "I do." I really did. Although I was scared, sometimes I was truly curious. Just like what happened by the river just now, there was suddenly a strong wind, but then it was all fine in an instant. It was so amazing. "It's good that you do." Grandma looked at me. "Jiaolong, remember this. No matter what you see in the future, in the end, they won't be able to hurt you. You will be even more powerful than Grandma, and the old immortal in our family will also protect you. Do you understand?" I looked at Grandma and nodded, not fully understanding. I didn't say anything more. To be honest, I didn't want to be scared either. The key thing was that these things didn't appear according to any pattern. They always showed up unexpectedly in some corner. Maybe when you turn your head, there it is with a pale face right in front of you. And then when you blink again, it's gone. Just thinking about it makes my spine tingle. As soon as we reached the door of my house, I saw Cuicui running over in a hurry. Instinctively, I thought that there must be something wrong with Cuicui's child. Otherwise, she wouldn't be in such a rush. "Auntie Ma, Auntie Ma!" Cuicui ran up to Grandma and me and said to Grandma, "Auntie Ma, come with me to my house and take a look quickly." Grandma looked at her. "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the child again? Didn't I say that if the child still cries at night, you can put a pair of scissors under the pillow, and it will be okay?" Cuicui shook her head. "No, my child is fine. It's my mother-in-law. Something has happened to my mother-in-law again!!" "Your mother-in-law?" Grandma was taken aback for a moment and looked at Cuicui. "What's wrong with her?" "She... Oh, Auntie Ma, you'll know if you go and take a look. I don't know how to explain it!" Cuicui looked at Grandma and stamped her foot in a hurry. Grandma nodded, took my hand, and looked at Cuicui. "Let's go!" Cuicui nodded and followed Grandma. Grandma turned to look at her. "Cuicui, tell me first. What exactly is the situation with your mother-in-law? Why can't you explain it clearly?" Cuicui's face was all wrinkled as she looked at Grandma. "It was the day before yesterday. My mother-in-law said she didn't feel well while having dinner at night. I thought she was tired from working in the fields, so I told her to go to bed early. Who would have thought that when she got up yesterday morning, we found that there was a cut on her foot. At that time, the cut wasn't big. My husband and I thought she had hurt herself without realizing it, so we wanted to put some medicine on it for her." "Who would have thought that as soon as we touched her foot, she would cry out in pain and wouldn't let us touch her. So we didn't dare to move her. And today, the wound has spread all the way to her knee. My mother-in-law was in so much pain that she kept yelling at my husband to take a knife and chop off her leg!"
