MYSTERY OF THE NIGHT STREET

Kindness

After leaving Grandpa Mutto's house and arriving at the shady tree in front of the village, all the mothers had dispersed and all the way looked lonely without anyone.

 

It was as if the entire village had vanished.

 It was just that, in the old house beside the village gate, there was a little boy peeking and looking at me from the window curiously, as if looking at a strange thing that he had never seen.

I smiled and he was shocked and hid.

Is this really scary to me?.

Arriving home, Mom and Dad were no more, they were already taking care of my Master's funeral preparations.

As Grandpa Mutto said, I must put these shoes on by pointing the tip of these shoes towards the bed.

But I suddenly felt nervous and hesitant.

Even though what Grandpa Mutto said made sense, but I felt that something was not right.

"Ryeong"?

With Henry's voice calling me, I was shocked and immediately put the shoes in front of the bed with the tip of the shoe fixed facing the bed.

Herny pu walked in "What are you doing"?

I immediately used my body to cover the shoes so they wouldn't be seen.

Seeing me limp and pale in face, Henry asked anxiously "You're okay right"?

I shook my head again.

Somehow, I was so scared that Henry saw those shoes, as if something scary was about to happen.

Henry did not pay much attention to what I was doing, he instead said happily "Ryung, Angel is home."

Angel is the daughter of my Master and she is studying in the Big City.

She is the Flower of our village, she is 2 years older than me, her looks are beautiful, her body is beautiful, really makes all men tempted.

If I manage to marry Angel, then I will be very happy.

But I know this is too much, the beautiful peacock that has flown to the big city should not return to live with the poor men in the village.

But something made me very surprised.

Although I had never been to the big cities far from where I lived and transportation was very difficult, had to take the train and sit for hours and hours and had to take a minibus.

If everything goes well, it will take a long time to arrive.

But why did you just get the news this morning that your father is dead, why did Angel arrive this afternoon?.

My teacher's house was in grief, many people were pacing back and forth, in the middle of the crowd was a quarrel, it was Angel's voice, and at that time he was fighting with my parents.

From far away I ran over and said, "What's wrong"?

That's Angel's real.

He has gone home !

As the quarrel grew, he pointed at me and said, "Your name comes, say, what are you, why was my father all this time okay and why must there be a calamity after accepting you as his disciple."

I was spontaneously dumbfounded without words.

Grandfather Mutto once said, All this is because I have been luring the female ghost and my Master was involved, in other words, my Master did indeed die from my actions.

Uncle Sun was there, he was the most domineering person in this village, seeing this situation immediately said "Angel, you calm down first, your father died purely from a traffic accident, you know, you know, not because of Ryung."

Angel's pretty face turned red "I know, I know, it was her who made my father go bad."

My mom started to panic " Hey young man, don't slander anyone recklessly, you said Ryung who has harmed your father, do you have any proof? don't accuse me without your evidence!.

Angel said "There is..., of course there is "But he was suddenly nervous and could not continue his words, with a red face "What matters is my father died because of Him !!!.

Uncle Sun said "Come in, don't make a fuss here."

My mother panicked easily, hearing Angel incessantly accuse me, her emotions overflowed "My son, come with Mom home", Mom pulled my hand and told me to go home.

Uncle Sun called "Ryung's mother."

My mother stopped her legs too.

My mother was a gentle person, hearing what Uncle Sun said, her emotions began to fade.

Angel looked at us with an unpleasant expression to look at immediately turned around and re-entered the house.

Angel is the most mature daughter, she can accept things quickly, even though her father's death puts enormous pressure on her, but she can't possibly continue to blame me.

After being persuaded by some villagers and their families, my mother just let me into Master's funeral home.

They've been looking for special people to arrange all the funeral preparations, I don't have to do anything.

I saw a blind Grandpa sitting and folding a man out of paper.

The man who folds the men from this paper always uses death to make money for a bite of rice.

And such people have harmony in the family, most of them have no children, and the students they seek are also street children who often roam.

Most of them have limitations.

For example, this Blind Grandpa.

The first time I saw it, I felt like this folded up scarecrow was so simple and arbitrary, it didn't even look like it had any expression, but when I saw it again, it slowly felt scary, it felt scary, I dare not see him again.

I panicked and quickly turned around.

As I was about to leave the Blind Grandfather said "It's been working for so long, is there anything to eat?"

In accordance with the rules and traditions, in addition to breakfast, noon and evening, it is necessary to add food once again in the afternoon, and now it is getting dark, does the family of grief escape it?.

I said, "Wait a minute, Cake, I'll get you some food."

The grandfather ruled "It should be two bowls, 1 large bowl and 1 small bowl."

My master's family invited the cook from our village, while he was preparing dinner, I asked, have the people who helped here not had lunch yet?.

The cook said "It's over."

I also said that Grandfather ordered food that was one big magkok, the other a small bowl.

The cook nodded, he took food and gave me two bowls, one containing rice and the other containing sticky rice, both of which were raw.

I looked at him in shock "What is this, everything is still raw?"

The cook asked me to deliver it immediately.

I thought to myself, is this what that person meant? Without thinking for a long time, I immediately raised the bowl.

The Blind Grandfather said nothing, he took a bowl from me and placed it in front of the paper, then took some sticks of incense from the table and lifted it above the place where he stuck incense.

The movements of the blind grandfather looked extremely fast, completely unlike a blind man.

After the incense was successfully burned, he divided the incense into three sticks each, then stuck it into a bowl containing rice and sticky rice, until it looked very neat.

I've seen one like this.

Usually placed in the corner of the room that is not easily visible to people, always visible on the first day and taken people on the second day.

It's just I don't know what the purpose is.

After doing all this, he returned to his seat and continued working.

I was just about to turn around, the Blind Grandfather asked "Mister have you not married yet?"

I also replied "Not Cake"

The Blind Grandfather said, "It's worth it."

The Blind Grandfather could not see me, if he could see then he would know that I was a young boy who was only 19 years old, then he would definitely not ask like that, he would definitely not ask, but I thought of the incident two days ago, it seems like the words of this Blind Grandfather wanted to show you something.

I asked, "What's the right thing?"

The Blind Grandfather did not answer my question, instead asking "Does this family believe in the name of kindness?"

I nodded "Correct."

The Blind Grandfather said" Then multiply kindness."

Ask me for more kindness? What does that mean, my life won't be long?.
