Chapter 5: No Turning Back
Feeling the cold temperature of this hand, I felt like I was electrocuted. I took a deep breath and my face turned pale.
I stood there for a while, not daring to move. I even wondered in my heart if my grandfather had come back to life again?
I took a deep breath and almost couldn't hold it anymore. My calves started to tremble.
I said, "Grandpa, I didn't do well in some areas before, but please be gracious and let me go this time."
When I said this, my voice was trembling.
I originally thought that the hand would move further, but I just felt that the hand reached my back and basically stopped moving.
Time passed by second by second. I stood there with my body straight. I found that nothing unexpected had happened. Suddenly, I began to feel curious.
I always feel like something is wrong, but I dare not move.
The stalemate lasted for about five minutes. I saw that the hand didn't move, and I thought to myself that I must have accidentally put my grandfather's hand on my neck while I was walking.
Thinking of this, my extremely nervous heart relaxed a little.
I really just scared myself.
Although my mood has calmed down a bit now, that nervous feeling still hasn't subsided.
I continued walking forward. This place was still quite far from the cemetery of our village. Although it was not difficult to carry my grandfather on my back, I felt nervous. Moreover, at this time, the further I walked, the fewer people and houses there were on the road.
There was no one along the way, and as I walked forward, my heart was beating rapidly.
I felt like my heart was going to jump out at any moment. The more scared I was, the more I wanted to resolve my grandfather's issue as soon as possible, so I quickened my pace and walked towards the grave.
And as I walked, I kept saying, "Grandpa, you really can't blame your grandson for this."
"No matter what, I am your grandson. No matter what happened, you won't take my life."
I kept muttering along the way, not daring to stop or look back.
The reason I say this is to give myself some courage.
After walking about two or three kilometers , my pace gradually slowed down, and walking began to become a bit strenuous. After walking for about ten minutes, I saw the village’s cemetery just ahead.
But at this moment, I suddenly felt footsteps behind me, as if someone was following me.
The mood that had been somewhat relaxed became tense again.
I was nervous and scared, and wanted to look back several times, but I held back. The grave mountain was right in front of me, and I absolutely could not look back. If I looked back, all my preparations would be wasted.
I held my breath, but the footsteps behind me seemed to be getting faster and faster, as if someone was chasing me.
This feeling is really unbearable, and I always feel like someone is going to attack me from behind.
Besides, in such a ghost place, what kind of living person would come here?
Even if someone comes here, they must be a very brave person.
I took a deep breath and yelled, "Who is following me? I'm telling you, I'm carrying a dead body on my back. I'm also a butcher and I've killed countless pigs in my life. Don't try to play tricks on me. If you provoke me, I'll kill you."
I took a deep breath and spoke very seriously.
As I was talking, I didn't forget to quicken my pace. After all, I was still a little unconfident inside.
What makes me curious is that after I finished speaking, the footsteps behind me disappeared. It seems that what I said just now did have some effect.
I couldn't help but feel a little happy inside, thinking about this matter in my mind, and finally it was resolved.
So I walked forward again. The moonlight made the road seem a little eerie.
My whole body was covered with beads of cold sweat, and I was still a little nervous.
But I didn't dare to stop and kept walking forward. At this time, a cold wind blew and I immediately felt a cool feeling.
I had only been walking for a short while when the sound of footsteps following me came again, and I almost couldn't help but turn back.
I thought to myself this was really weird, someone was following me in the middle of the night, it was simply weird.
But now that I have reached this point, I can’t turn back.
The last moment, the last moment.
I keep reminding myself in my heart.
He even threatened: "If you dare to follow me again, I will turn around and kill you."
"I'm going to turn back, I'm going to turn back..."
My voice was so loud that it echoed in the space.
But the footsteps behind him did not disappear this time. He knew that threatening him alone would not work this time.
So I didn't delay at all and ran forward. I held my breath and ran as hard as I could without any hesitation.
I ran for about five minutes before I slowed down and the footsteps behind me disappeared again.
But I had already reached the grave hill and started to climb up, and at that time there was another thought in my mind: I had already reached the top, so there shouldn't be any accidents.
I found the place where my grandfather was buried. I saw the pit and the open coffin, and the string in my heart was taut and never let go.
But as long as I put my grandfather's body down, everything will be over.
Everything should be over at this time.
I placed my grandfather's body in the coffin, and then laboriously closed the coffin lid by myself.
My clothes were soaked with cold sweat. After I finished all this, I knelt in front of my grandfather's grave and said, "Grandpa, I can only take you so far. Please go on your way with peace of mind."
I began to kowtow again, and gusts of cold wind blew from the top of the mountain.
I couldn't help but shiver, but at this moment, someone suddenly patted my shoulder. My body shuddered and I subconsciously looked back, but saw that there was nothing behind me.
After I turned around, I quickly realized that this was an inappropriate thing to do, so I turned around again.
I was breathing heavily and was extremely scared.
But when I saw that there was nothing behind me, my heart settled down again, and I thought I was just scaring myself.
I took a deep breath. Since I had reburied my grandfather, I didn't care about anything else. After resting for a while, I started to fill the grave with soil. Only after filling the soil did I feel completely relieved.
I stood up and prepared to leave, and before leaving, I kowtowed to my grandfather's tombstone again.
After kowtow, I ran home like crazy and my uncle and the others were waiting for me.
But as soon as I stood still, Duan Gong's expression changed drastically when he looked at me!
