You might not believe it, but for as long as I can remember, up until I was seven years old, I've only seen my grandfather.
We lived in a thatched cottage deep in the mountains. He had never taken me out before.
In my memory, every night before I went to bed, Grandpa would give me a bowl of herbal soup. The herbal soup that others drank was bitter and difficult to swallow, but the one I drank was fishy and smelly.
Because of this, I would quarrel with Grandpa every day. You haven't drunk that medicinal soup, so you don't know how bad it tastes. However, every time, he would end it by beating me up in anger and threatening me that if I didn't drink it, I would die suddenly in three days!
In order not to be beaten, I could only obediently drink the medicinal soup.
Grandpa was very strange. Every full moon night, after he fed me the medicinal soup, he would leave me alone and go out alone with a shovel. He also told me to stay in the house obediently and never go out. He also covered the windows tightly to prevent the moonlight from shining on me.
Children are more naughty, and I have been playing alone since I was young, so I don't know fear. On a full moon night before my seventh birthday, after Grandpa fed me medicine and went out, I quietly followed him out of the thatched cottage.
I saw him carrying a shovel on his back as he walked to the barren hill behind the mountain.
At that time, I was ignorant and didn't understand what those low mounds on the barren mountain and the stone tablets on the sides of the mounds were.
I saw Grandpa facing the moonlight, using a shovel to dig up the mound and open the wooden box inside. I didn't know that it was called a coffin!
The moment he opened the coffin, a foul smell assaulted his senses.
I immediately understood that this was the taste of the medicinal soup I drank!
I watched with my own eyes as Grandpa used a shovel to ruthlessly shovel off the rotten flesh from the rotting corpse in the coffin and put it into the pocket he carried with him.
After loading up the rotten meat from the corpses, he looked around and carefully closed the coffin lid to level the mound again. Then, he carried the bag and hurried back.
I was afraid that he would find me, so I quickly ran home and pretended to be asleep.
Fortunately, Grandpa didn't notice anything strange about me when he came back. He carefully placed the rotten meat in his pocket into a jar.
I secretly opened my eyes and saw him find a small paper bag. He poured some medicine into the jar and then covered the jar.
I thought he didn't realize that I was following him, but the next morning, he still beat me up. He cried as he beat me. I asked him why he beat me up, but he didn't say anything.
A few days later, on my birthday, a group of people suddenly came to my house. That was the first time I saw anyone other than my grandfather.
I remember that day, Grandpa cried and handed me over to them. He said to the people who took me away," All our previous efforts have been wasted. I only hope that you can take good care of him in the future and let him live safely!”
More than ten years have passed, but I still don't understand what Grandpa meant by that sentence! And I also lived a normal life!
Although nothing strange happened during my academic career, my childhood experience made me particularly disgusted with places like mausoleums and cemeteries.
Whenever I saw a low mound of dirt, I would feel nauseous. The stench of the medicinal soup would forever be imprinted in my mind! I remember when I was in middle school, the school organized an event to pay respects to the martyrs 'cemetery. In front of my classmates and teachers, I vomited non-stop and was criticized by the entire school. They said that I blasphemed the martyrs and had no consciousness!
When I got to university, I joined the student union. There were more club activities and more friends. Those unbearable memories gradually faded away.
However, the student union organized for us to go camping at a famous tourist spot in the suburbs, which brought back the terrifying memories of my childhood.
This tourist spot was called the Northern Cang Mountains. Its landscape was picturesque and it was a historical holy land. Several ancient battles had taken place here.
The others were in pairs and had a lot of fun. I, who had always lived alone, walked up the mountain road. After a few steps, I came across a mound with a tombstone. Only then did I know that this was the favorite cemetery of the surrounding farmers. First, it was free, and second, it had good feng shui.
A friend who was traveling with him had a sharp tongue. As he walked, he said to scare people,"Let me tell you, my uncle is a farmer from the village at the foot of the mountain. He told me that there's an old man in the village at the foot of the mountain. At night, he comes to the mountains to look for women who have just died.”
The leader of the club, Shen Lang, joked,"Ha, could it be that your uncle is the one who likes this?"”
" Brother Shen, I'm telling you the truth. I'm not trying to scare you."After that incident was blown up, the police station in the town couldn't even catch the old man! That old man even bragged that he practiced the Red Dust Technique and could live to ninety-nine!”
"Come on, if this really happened, who would dare to come here for a vacation? There are coffins everywhere that have been pried open.”Shen Lang rolled his eyes at him and interrupted him.
Listening to their conversation made me very uncomfortable. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have joined in the fun with them.
If Shen Lang had not insisted on introducing a girlfriend to me, I would not have camped with them in such a place.
After walking a few dozen meters, there was another mound by the side of the road.
I accidentally caught a glimpse of an old man standing by the mound, stroking the photo on the tombstone.
It was a young woman in the photo!
Seeing us pass by, the old man suddenly turned his head and looked at me with a strange smile on his wrinkled face.
Thinking back to my past experiences and what my companion had just said, I immediately couldn't take it anymore and started vomiting crazily.
My companions saw that I was suddenly acting strangely and came to help me. Those who were close suggested that we should just return to school.
However, Shen Lang insisted that it would be a pity if they went back since they finally had the time to come here. He said that there would not be any messy things along the way.
In order not to dampen everyone's spirits, I could only endure the discomfort in my body and not think about those disgusting scenes.
After walking through this barren mountain, I arrived at the forest area inside. As expected, the mountains and rivers were beautiful. From time to time, insects and birds chirped. Gradually, my body felt a little better.
Shen Lang led everyone to a flat spot. They set up their tents and laid out blankets. They took out the food and drinks that they brought with them.
They were in pairs, eating, drinking, and having fun, while my stomach was still rumbling, but I couldn't blend in with them.
The old man's strange smile kept echoing in his mind.
The girl that Shen Lang introduced to me ignored me when she saw that I was still in a daze and that I was not feeling well. She started to get into a heated relationship with other people.
Everyone was having fun. When the sky gradually darkened, they all went back to their tents in pairs to have fun.
I was the only one left sitting on the edge of the blanket, looking at the dark surroundings. From time to time, a cold breeze would blow.
A sense of loneliness welled up in his heart. He drank another mouthful of wine and got up to go back to his tent to sleep.
I drank too much wine and my stomach was bloated, so I went to an old tree in the southwest of our camp to relieve myself.
He undid his belt and whistled as he poured water.
As I put it down, I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps behind me. I turned around in shock.
