Chapter 699: Worship less gods and Buddhas, and worship more ancestors
In fact, from the time the family came in with the child, Fang Ming's attention fell on the child, but after hearing Fang Ming's words, the young woman did not hold the child to Fang Ming, but looked at him suspiciously.
"Xiaoxue, who is this?"
The old man didn't know Fang Ming, and what he was looking for was Master Gao Yuanzhou, for more than half a year, everyone in the village knew that Master Gao was a feng shui master, and when someone in the village was old or built a new house, they would ask Master Gao to help select the site and pick the day, which was considered the feng shui master in the village.
Gao Yuanzhou does have some real talents, picking some auspicious days for the villagers, and the most basic skills such as site selection are still there, so he is very respected by the older generation in the village.
After all, in the eyes of the older generation, Mr. Feng Shui is a master with real skills, who doesn't have a happy event, not to mention that these old people are old, and they don't have a few years to live, respect Master Gao, and let Master Gao choose a good cemetery for them to bury when the time comes.
"Grandpa Zhang, this is my brother's friend, it's Brother Fang Ming. Qin Xue replied on the side.
"Uncle Zhang, just show him your grandson, he is very capable. Li Ke on the side also followed the persuasion, just now he had seen Fang Ming's ability, even the Gu worms on Master Gao's body were expelled by others, and that skill must be above Master Gao.
Hearing Qin Xue and Li Ke's words, Uncle Zhang said to his daughter-in-law: "Xiaomei, give the child to this little brother to hug." ”
Although the young woman was a little reluctant, she finally complied, handed the child to Fang Ming, and at the same time told her in her mouth: "Congcong's body is still very brittle, you be careful, don't touch your head." ”
Fang Ming smiled, he knew what this eldest sister was worried about, men, they were all hairy, especially young men like him who were not married yet, and there were a few people who had experience in holding children.
However, what is strange is that the child who was still constantly moving and crying from time to time in his mother's arms, when he was held in Fang Ming's hand, was quiet and motionless, and stopped crying, those little black eyes stared at Fang Ming's face, grinning and smiling.
"This ...... The baby actually smiled. ”
Uncle Zhang's family showed an incredible look, the child is crying every day these days, except for when he sleeps, he will be quiet, and he can't be quiet at all at other times, and he hasn't had a smile on his face, he went to the clinic and even went to the hospital to see a doctor, but he couldn't see anything wrong.
"Have you shouted to the child?"
Fang Ming glanced at the child a few times, and then looked at Uncle Zhang and the others, and Uncle Zhang nodded hurriedly when he heard Fang Ming's words, and said: "Well, Congcong has been crying non-stop, I suspect that he may have lost his soul, so he called the child's soul." ”
Shouting souls, this place in the countryside is not such a mysterious thing, this is handed down by the ancestors for thousands of years, as long as it is an elderly person in Jiangcheng County.
In the past, urban and rural construction was not as developed as it is now, and there were not so many roads and high-rise buildings, mountains and forests, and field roads were the main tone, and sometimes after the children went out to play, they came back and looked dull, and even had a high fever, which is the reason why the soul is lost.
At this time, the elderly in the family will hold the lid of the pot in their hands, and then hold a kitchen knife, put the lid on the child's head, and then take the kitchen knife and knock it on the pot board three times, shouting "The soul returns".
There are ways to shout souls in various places, and there are even eggs to shout souls, if the soul comes back, the eggs will be erected automatically, of course, there are also brooms or clothes before the child's death, in short, they are all different paths to the same end.
Uncle Zhang saw his grandson crying non-stop, so he also used this method, and the reason why he used the pot lid and kitchen knife was to ask for the protection of the god of the stove, in traditional Chinese culture, among all the gods, only the god of the stove has always remained in the world, and it is naturally the most effective.
"Actually, your grandson didn't lose his soul. Fang Ming smiled and explained: "The child who lost his soul does not cry or make trouble, and acts like dementia, but this child cries and cries non-stop, this is not a lost soul but is entangled by something." ”
"Got tangled in something?"
Uncle Zhang's face showed a look of fear, and Li Ke and the others were sluggish for a second or two, and after a second or two, they also reacted, what did some of the things in Fang Ming's words refer to?
"You're the mother of the child, right?"
Fang Ming didn't continue the topic, but asked the young woman who was the child's mother.
"My name is Samui. ”
"Sister Su, you're not from this village, are you. ”
"Well, I'm from the town next door, and I married into the village this year. ”
"There's no wedding yet. ”
"Not yet, but we plan to hold it again next year. ”
Fang Ming asked, and Su Mei replied, but when she didn't have a wedding, she still looked at her husband on the side, with a look of resentment in her eyes, which girl didn't want to hold a wedding, and it wasn't her husband who wanted to drag it.
"That...... That's not thinking that after the new house is built, then you can move in and then have a make-up wedding. Su Mei's husband explained on the side.
In the countryside, it is not an isolated phenomenon for girls to get pregnant before marriage, and there are many who have not held weddings, one is because many men and women are working outside to know each other, and this man and woman are out to do firewood, and they can't help but get pregnant, and when they return to their hometown for the New Year, their stomachs are five or six months old.
What can I do at this time can only get a marriage certificate first, and then think about getting married, and even some have not reached the legal age of marriage at all, and they can't even get a marriage certificate.
Fang Ming didn't continue this topic, this is a family matter, and continued at the moment: "So Senior Sister Su, you feel a little ashamed, although you have given birth to a child, you rarely step out of the house, and you haven't even gone to worship at the Land Temple, right." ”
"What, haven't you ever gone to the Land Temple to worship? Didn't I confess? Congcong is going to worship the Lord of the Land on the 100th day?"
Uncle Zhang heard Fang Ming's words, and then saw the expressions of his son and daughter-in-law, he was directly anxious, his grandson couldn't rush back because he was working on the construction site outside on the 100th day, but he still specially called to tell his son.
Children have to go to the land temple to worship for 100 days, this is their custom here, not only the land temple, but also to get some dishes at home to worship the ancestors, but also to cut off the children's nails and mix them in mung beans and put them in the pot to fry, and then invite some relatives to come to the house to eat beans and drink tea.
"Didn't the kids make a lot of noise that day, so we didn't get it, but in the end the fried beans were fried. Su Mei's husband was a little embarrassed to argue.
"You bastard, you dare to quibble, I'm going to beat you to death. ”
Uncle Zhang couldn't help it, and was about to beat his son, but was stopped by Li Ke.
"Uncle Zhang, don't get excited, Maozi didn't mean it, isn't it a child's trouble, my sister-in-law can't take the child alone, and Maozi should accompany her. ”
In Li Ke's heart, he didn't look at how many of these customs were, what age is this, how can there be so much exquisiteness.
"There are some customs, the existence of which is the best proof of this. ”
Fang Ming sighed lightly, and after seeing everyone's eyes looking at him, he explained: "Cutting off the child's nails and putting them in the beans to fry is just a meaning, I hope that the child can be quiet in the future, but worshipping the land lord and worshipping the ancestors is not just a custom. ”
"Now many years ago, people scoffed at some customs, and always felt that the older generation was superstitious......" When Fang Ming said this, Su Mei and her husband were both red, obviously Fang Ming said it.
"Take worshiping the ancestors as an example, this is not only out of respect for the family and bloodline, but more importantly, to tell the ancestors, there is one more person in the descendants, pray for the blessing of the ancestors, as for going to the land temple to worship, that is to tell the local land lord, there is one more person in a certain family in the place, let the land lord inform the Sifang mountain god, and the child will be compiled into the household, bless the child's safety. ”
"These are not just a custom, the land lord is to protect the people, if you don't tell the land lord, how will the land lord know that your family has an extra child?"
"Finally, there is another point, the child still has to walk around the door more, especially in the countryside, every household has the ancestors incense, take the child to walk around in other people's homes, the ancestors of the family see it, they know that this is the child of the same village, there will be no thoughts. ”
"There are many old people in the village, and there may be an old man who will leave after a while, so that these old people will know the existence of children, and when the old people are old and their souls wander around the village, they will be able to know the children and will not bully them. ”
Fang Ming's words made everyone present stunned, because they didn't expect that there would be such a set of statements, according to this statement, wouldn't it mean that their village was full of ghosts?
"Don't think I'm alarmist, in addition to ghosts, there are some mountain and wild spirits, generally speaking, mountain and wild spirits will not take the initiative to harm people, after all, there is a land lord to sit in charge, but you don't even worship the land lord, why should people protect you? ”
"There is time to go to Taoist temples and temples to worship Buddha and pray to God, it is better to worship the ancestors and the land lord, worship the Buddha and worship the god so much, people don't look down on your little incense, but the land lord is different, the land lord relies on the incense of these people in your local area. ”
Speaking of some of the current situation in various places, Fang Ming is also a little helpless, many places put the local land temple not to worship, and do not hesitate to drive dozens of miles or even farther away to worship the temple and Taoist temple during the New Year's Festival, and send a large ticket of incense money, it is better to pay for the repair of the ancestral hall and the land temple at this time.
This is the same as those authors, those big authors, if you vote for him to reward points, people will take a look, and it is very likely that they will not even see it, but you give small authors, such as Jiudeng and so on, vote for a reward subscription, and Jiudeng will also bow and shout to you: Lao Tie 666 is fine.
