“The Guardian of Gray Agate”
Lin Xiaoman first saw the gray agate in her grandmother’s old wooden box.
It was a rainy afternoon. She sorted out her grandmother’s belongings and her fingers touched a faded red silk bag. After opening it, a gray agate the size of a pigeon egg rolled into her palm – it was not gorgeous, but it seemed to be wrapped in a layer of mist, with a few silver-white lines faintly visible, like flowing moonlight.
“This is the ‘heart-guarding stone’.” Her mother stood at the door and whispered, “My grandmother got it from an old jade craftsman when she was young. It is said that it can suppress evil and protect the owner.”
Xiaoman didn’t believe it. She just felt that the stone was warm and simple, so she put it on her neck casually.
But that night, she had a strange dream. In the dream, she stood in front of an abandoned old house, and the gray agate was slightly hot on her chest. A voice whispered in her ear: “Don’t go in…”
When she woke up, there was lightning and thunder outside the window. She touched the agate and it was a little hot.
The next day, the company chose a homestay converted from a century-old house in the suburbs for team building. As soon as Xiaoman stepped into the yard, she felt a sharp pain in her chest – the gray agate seemed to be warning her.
At night, colleagues were excited to play supernatural games, but Xiaoman was inexplicably flustered. She returned to her room alone and found that the patterns of the agate glowed in the dark. Suddenly, footsteps came from the corridor and stopped in front of her door…
The moment the door handle turned, the gray agate suddenly became hot, and a scream came from outside the door. Xiaoman rushed out, only to see the tour guide sitting on the ground with a pale face: “Just now, there was an old lady in gray clothes… staring at me…”
Xiaoman looked down and found that the patterns of the agate formed a vague human face – very much like her grandmother when she was young.
After returning to the city, she went to find the descendants of the old jade craftsman. The other party looked at it for a long time and said slowly: “Gray agate is also called ‘soul-guarding stone’. Some things will follow their owners for a lifetime…”
Xiaoman stroked the stone and finally understood – grandma never left.
