Chapter 1: The Dying
My name is Zheng Fan, and I can see people who are dying.
This thing has been bothering me for a long time, and it almost brought me to a sink.
Our ancestors have been Mr. Yin and Yang for several lifetimes, some are real materials, and some are indiscriminate.
When my father was a child, I caught up with the most difficult years, and my grandfather's Mr. Yin and Yang couldn't continue to be a man.
It is precisely because of this that in my father's generation, the inheritance was broken.
But my grandfather didn't give up, and after my father became a teacher, he shifted his goal to me.
When I was a child, my body was very weak, and I went to the hospital twice in three days.
My parents were busy with work, and my grandfather was with me in the hospital.
From that time on, I was able to see things that were not normal, and I often told my grandfather.
After listening to it, the wrinkled smile on his face is still fresh in my memory.
When I was seven years old, my grandfather made a bold decision to "steal" me from the house.
The reason for this is that I "saw" the death of a person.
That man is our neighbor, and everyone in the village calls him Old Keye.
Lao Ke Ye is a retired Air Force and takes care of my family.
My dad said that when they were young, they didn't have enough to eat, so Lao Ke Ye took them to hunt in the mountains. Even though Lao Ke Ye was over sixty years old at the time, his body was still quite tough.
In the afternoon of the same day, Lao Ke Ye went out to herd cattle and passed by my door, and stopped to talk to my grandfather.
And I ran behind the old Ke Ye to see the old scalper.
What surprised me was that the old scalper had the shadow of me and my grandfather in his eyes, but he couldn't see the old Ke Ye.
As a young child, I quickly put this behind me.
But that night, something happened to Lao Ke.
It is said that while grazing cattle, he fell down a steep slope of several tens of meters.
The whole person fell into a blur of flesh and blood, and when the coffin was loaded, he couldn't even wear a shroud, so he wrapped it in a sheet and put it in.
I remembered what happened in the afternoon, and after telling my grandfather, he didn't say a word, picked me up and ran towards my parents.
"Build, I'll tell you something......"
"No, we have to discuss. "My dad refused very simply, and my mom was there to help.
"Dad, I didn't say you, don't get your old feudal set. ”
"If it weren't for the policy, I'm afraid that my teacher would be withdrawn because of you, Mr. Yin and Yang. ”
"You can't stop bringing a grandchild, don't worry about food and clothing, don't toss when you're older......"
When my dad said a few words, almost everyone in the village felt that he was right.
But grandpa couldn't listen to it at all, he didn't want the ancestral "family business" to be cut off in his hands.
So one day, while my parents were not at home, my grandfather directly "stole" me from home.
In the days that followed, Grandpa and Dad almost turned against each other.
Whenever my dad found me and my grandfather, he always had a way to get me away from my dad silently.
In the first few years, my grandfather would take me home every Chinese New Year.
But then, I went back less and less.
My parents added me another sister, and it took a lot of thought before I gave up the idea of taking me back from my grandfather.
In the days when I followed my grandfather to the north and south, I didn't read less, I learned a lot of things, and I saw a lot of things.
As I grew older, I knew that my grandfather was a person with real skills, and he was by no means a swagger.
Look at the physiognomy and fortune telling, feng shui to find gold, exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts, and draw talismans to exceed...... I didn't see that he wouldn't.
"Zheng Fan, remember, the people you see who are going to die can't be saved, don't waste that thought. "Many times when I "saw" someone dying, but there was nothing I could do, my grandfather would always sigh and say to me.
According to Grandpa, these people have already booked the hour in the book of life and death.
Hades let you die for three watches, and you will definitely not survive for five watches.
So from childhood to adulthood, I always adhered to my grandfather's meaning.
For those who are about to die, except for regret, they will never poke it, let alone take the initiative to help.
The days passed, and my grandfather grew old.
Returning to the roots is the last obsession of their older generation.
When I was nineteen, I returned to my hometown with my elderly grandfather.
My dad looked at my grandfather with white hair, just sighed, took it from my hand and carried him into the house.
On that day, I "saw" my grandfather, who was also a dying man.
In the evening, my grandfather broke up my parents and called me to the bedside.
"Zheng Fan, you should know that I can't survive tonight. I know you've been secretly learning how to deal with it on your own all these years, and I'll tell you one last time. People who are going to die cannot be saved, so don't do it. Superstition is that if you are against Lord Yama, what good will it do?"
After speaking, Grandpa lay on the bed and gasped for air.
I watched my grandfather's lifeless breath getting heavier and heavier, and I couldn't help but want to do it, but my grandfather held my wrist like a plier.
"I've got something for you, go get the rucksack I brought back. ”
I've seen my grandfather use the contents of the canvas bag countless times, and I've been coveting them for many years.
Only this time was the last time I wanted it.
Five Emperor Money, Soul Bell, Soul Ruler, Soul Whip, and Two Halves of the Turtle Shell That Have Been Cracked.
Some of these things have been handed down from the beginning, and some have been purchased later. In the few years I have been with my grandfather, I have seen these things countless times and used them many times myself. It can be said that grandpa was able to make a great name outside, and these things played a vital role.
"Build, come in too. Grandpa coughed for a long time before he shouted tremblingly outside.
My dad came in, tears rolling in his eyes.
"Something, I'll pass it on to Zheng Fan, this time you can't do it. ”
"Finally, the inheritance is not broken in my hands......"
Grandpa left, very peacefully, with a relieved smile on his face.
Although the relationship between Grandpa and Dad was very bad, and he just came home and left, he didn't even wait for his sister to come back from school for a reunion dinner.
But Grandpa's funeral was very beautiful.
Almost every family in ten miles and eight villages came to help, and I was also embarrassed when I saw it.
After inheriting my grandfather's mantle, I set up a shop in the county, specializing in wreath paper business, occasionally helping people to see the grave, if there is a fortune teller, I will not refuse.
The business is making a living, and it has gradually gained some fame.
Of course, I still followed my grandfather's teachings, and saw those who were about to die with their teeth tightly closed, and even avoided them.
It's just that what happened next put me in a complete dilemma.
Even, almost killed me.
Because I "saw" that the next person who was going to die was my sister.
