Chapter 442 Chapter Twenty-One

Grandpa smiled, patted Li on the shoulder just now, and comforted him: "Don't worry, that's not the footsteps of ghosts, it's people." Finally, grandpa added: "And it's an acquaintance!" Sure enough, after the footsteps moved to the door, a voice rang out: "Ma Yueyun, open the door, I am Mrs. Ma, and my granddaughter is here too." Now, Li just breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest.Grandpa was worried, and couldn't help feeling a little flustered.The reason for this is self-evident, if it is normal, then everything will be fine; but at this time, Mrs. Ma's granddaughter is likely to meet the man in her dream, who knows what will happen?

But grandpa had to open the door. Maybe Mrs. Ma came here after seeing the fire in the window. Grandpa couldn't have lied that he was sleeping and asked them to come back tomorrow.Besides, why did Mrs. Ma and the others come to bother me in the middle of the night?Maybe there is the same reason as Li just now that he had to come.In this way, grandpa can't disappear behind closed doors. While Grandpa was thinking about what to do, Li Gang frowned and asked, "Master Ma, since the people outside are acquaintances, why haven't you opened the door for so long?" Grandpa suddenly woke up and hurriedly got up to open the door.

"Oh, you really haven't slept yet. I saw the red fire light from the window, so I guessed that you haven't slept yet." Mrs. Ma led Yao Xiaojuan into the door while talking. Grandpa took a few steps back to let them into the house, then turned around and locked the door, asking while he was doing it, "Why are you two running to me so late?" Yao Xiaojuan answered first: "An old man passed away in the Fangjiazhuang in front. We are here to see the old man." "Looking old" is a custom in our place.If an old man in a certain village dies, other old people who knew him will take time to visit and sit in the mourning hall before the funeral to express their memory and condolences.Due to the large number of guests during the day, the funeral organizers have no time to receive them, so these old people usually choose to "see the old" after dinner.At the same time, after dinner, the Taoist priests would sing filial songs in the mourning hall, the kind sung by the white-haired woman who was with the crooked Taoist priests.Although this kind of song, in my opinion, does not have the slightest energy to hum, and does not pay too much attention to the rhythm of the music and the cadence of the speech, but some old people like to listen to it and chant along with it.

Some Taoist priests have to sing filial songs all night, but most Taoist priests don't have that kind of energy, and they stop singing at midnight.Maybe Mrs. Ma and the others didn't come out until the Taoist priest finished singing.Maybe they were on their way to a relative's house to stay overnight, and they happened to see that the window of grandpa's house was still lit, so they stopped by to say hello. However, how did they know that the person sitting next to the stove with grandpa was precisely the man who appeared in Yao Xiaojuan's dream!They didn't even know that this man had the same dream as Yao Xiaojuan's!

And the only one who knows the common secret between the two is grandpa!Grandpa was worried that the two of them would recognize each other as soon as they met.What will happen after that, grandpa can't imagine. Maybe it's not just as simple as panic. Before Mrs. Ma entered the back room, she heard someone coughing from the back room.The old lady Ma pointed to the back room and asked her grandpa, "Is there anyone else in the room? Who hasn't gone home to sleep so late? Could it be the old man?" Yao Xiaojuan immediately stretched her neck when she heard what the old lady Ma said. Peeping, as if her eyes could turn to see people in the room.

Grandpa waved his hand and said with a smile, "He didn't come to see the old man. He..." Grandpa waved his hand again, but didn't continue talking. "It's okay, we are not afraid of strangers." Yao Xiaojuan smiled and walked into the back room first.The old lady Ma chuckled and followed behind.In a hurry, Grandpa rushed into the house ahead of Mrs. Ma. When entering the room, Grandpa heard Yao Xiaojuan saying hello to Li Gangang.Yao Xiaojuan took the initiative to say hello: "Hello!" Seeing someone entering the room just now, Li stood up quickly, and politely replied: "Hello, hello." Then he gave up his chair and extended his hand to invite: "You sit here, and I'll fetch the chair again." After that, Li just brought two chairs, placed them gently beside the stove, and called Mrs. Ma to sit down.During this process, he had confronted Yao Xiaojuan more than once, but neither he nor she panicked or screamed as expected.

Maybe it was too dark in the room?Although there are flames, if the faces of the people are reflected in red, does it mean that they can't see each other clearly?Grandpa still doesn't know the difference for the time being, or maybe there will be a difference in appearance between a person's previous life and the next life?For example, Li just now didn't have a red birthmark in her previous life, but she has one in this life.Of course, this can only be said after confirming that their dream is what happened in the previous life.It's too early to say so, right to guess. Grandpa brewed a pot of tea, handed each of them a cup, and then the four of them sat down around the stove.During the chat, Li just kept staring at the flames, even when he was answering, and occasionally took a few sips from the teacup.Yao Xiaojuan, on the other hand, seemed much more generous, speaking loudly and smiling heartily.

The two old men sitting next to the two young men had different expressions.Grandpa paid close attention to the subtle changes in the expressions of Li just now and Yao Xiaojuan, and even when he recalled later, he couldn't remember what topic they talked about that night.The old lady Ma glanced at the two young people with her two eyeballs relaxedly and somewhat joyfully. The four of them chatted for a while, each with their own mentality. Li Gangang finally showed fatigue, and Yao Xiaojuan was also a little tired talking, and kept yawning.Grandpa was woken up by Li just now in his sleep, so naturally he felt a little drowsy.Only Mrs. Ma was different. She seemed like a mouse that came out to steal oil at night. Not only did she not show signs of fatigue, but she became more and more energetic, with a gleam in her eyes.

Grandpa saw Yao Xiaojuan yawning non-stop, so he said to Madam Ma: "I'm afraid the cock crows if we talk for a while, let's break up first, and talk again when we have a chance. Okay?" The old lady Ma seemed a little bit reluctant, but she couldn't sit down anymore, so she nodded and looked at Yao Xiaojuan again.Yao Xiaojuan stood up and stretched her waist by the way. Li also stood up just now, his body swayed and almost fell.Yao Xiaojuan who was next to her hurriedly supported her. Madam Ma happily leaned into her grandfather's ear and whispered: "My Xiaojuan is rarely so enthusiastic about other men."
