Chapter 130: Raising children is more than just preventing old age

The next grave is the grave of Hu Fu's great-grandfather, and this tomb is also the most controversial grave of those Feng Shui masters.

It is a grave built on a flat field, on the edge of a field path, but as the fields have become barren over the years, they are overgrown with weeds.

In modern society, young people go out to work, and no one wants to guard the fields, while the older generation is more likely to take care of their grandchildren at home and have no time to take care of the fields.

Even if it is still growing, it is generally enough to grow vegetables and grain for one's own food, unlike in the past, several acres of land were used to grow food.

At that time, the yield of rice was not high, and in addition, the people had no choice but to plant desperately, but now with the increase in grain production and the improvement of living standards, going to the supermarket to buy a bag of rice is almost enough for a family of three to eat for more than a month, and no one is willing to guard the fields and work hard.

It is said to be a grave, but in fact it is a dirt bag, just a tombstone overgrown with weeds.

This type of grave is actually the most common in the entire South.

"The tombstones of your ancestors are all grassy, and you don't want to clean them up?" Hua Mingming asked with some curiosity when he saw the weeds coming out of the two sides of the tombstones.

"This ...... Mr. Feng Shui said that this grass cannot be pulled out, saying that this is ancestral qi, and pulling out this grass is equivalent to cutting off the ancestral qi, and it can only be cut with a sickle every time he goes to the grave. Hu Erbo replied.

"What kind of ancestral spirit, I'm afraid Mr. Feng Shui didn't talk about biology, these grasses give it enough time to grow, and then they can't break this stone tablet. ”

Although Hua Ming has not read a book, he still understands this truth, and Xiaocao is the most tenacious in vitality, he can survive in the cracks of the stones, and in the end, he can force the cracks in the stones to open.

"After all, this is explained by Mr. Feng Shui, and we cut off the grass every time, and there is no problem with the stele for more than ten years. ”

Hu Fu also explained, Hua Ming pouted, and from beginning to end, Fang Ming just stared at the tomb without saying a word.

Fang Ming didn't speak, and Hu Fu and the others didn't dare to disturb, they just watched quietly from the side, until they saw Fang Ming walking to the back of the grave, frowning and silent.

"Tell me what those feng shui masters said?"

After half a ring, Fang Ming opened his mouth and asked Hu Fu.

Hu Fu recalled for a moment, and then said: "A feng shui master said that my great-grandfather's tomb has good feng shui, and the front of this cemetery is open and flat, and there is a mountain five hundred meters behind, which can be regarded as a backer. ”

However, another feng shui master said that the feng shui of this cemetery is not good, because according to this master, the terrain of this tomb is not flat, the left side is slightly lower and the right side is slightly higher, which does not conform to the rules of tomb burial. ”

Hearing Hu Fu's words, Fang Ming smiled slightly but did not interrupt Hu Fu's words, but motioned for Hu Fu to continue.

In addition, the feng shui master said that although there is a mountain directly behind the tomb, it is too far away, and there is a small stream between the two, which is called a water barrier mountain, which is destined to be difficult. ”

As for the other two feng shui masters, they didn't say anything, they just said that this tomb feng shui was okay. ”

Fang Ming nodded to indicate that he understood, and just when all the Hu family members were looking forward to thinking that he would express their opinions, Fang Ming said to everyone: "Let's go, go to the next grave." ”

The Hu family looked at each other, but after Hu Rong's previous appearance, they didn't dare to question Fang Ming's words, and the next group went to the next grave.

Five graves, Fang Ming finished reading them all in one afternoon, and he didn't make a single comment from beginning to end, except for the first two graves.

"Master Fang, look, which grave of our Hu family has a problem?"

In front of the fifth grave, Hu Fu's great-great-grandfather's grave, Hu Fu finally couldn't help but ask, and in the afternoon, he felt that he had followed Master Fang to see the flowers, and each grave stayed for no more than half an hour.

Fang Ming glanced at Hu Fu and did not answer Hu Fu's question directly, but instead asked, "How many brothers did your father's generation have?"

"Four brothers and three sisters, a total of seven people, as for my grandfather's generation, it is said that there are also five brothers, but in that era, there was a shortage of war, my eldest grandfather and second grandfather went out and never came back, and my grandfather and my fifth grandfather have always stayed in the village. ”

Hu Fu was stunned for a moment, but then looked at Hu Erbo, "Second Uncle, you know the things of your grandfather's generation best, you tell Master Fang about it." ”

Hu Erbo is the oldest surviving elder of the Hu family, and he knows the most about many ancestors of the Hu family.

"Speaking of my father's generation, there were five brothers at the time, my father was the fourth, and the days of war and chaos in that era were not easy, so the eldest uncle and the second uncle went out to wander when they were teenagers, but they never came back, as for my third uncle who contracted smallpox when he was a child and did not live past the age of two and left, so my father and fifth uncle were left in the village. ”

"Actually, our Hu family is not a local, but fled here from other places, my grandfather fled here when he was a deserter, and then lived here for a long time. ”

"At that time, almost all the places were clan forces, so my grandfather lived a very poor life without relatives after settling here, but fortunately, he married my grandmother later, and my grandmother's family was also a big family in the local area, so I had a backer. ”

From Hu Erbo's intermittent description, Fang Ming probably knew the experience of the Hu family's ancestors.

In order to escape the war, the ancestors of the Hu family came here, and then married a local girl to settle down here, but unfortunately, with the continuation of the war, the life of the descendants of the Hu family is not easy, the eldest and the second are gone, the third is sick and died, and the fourth and fifth are left.

The fourth, that is, Hu Fu's grandfather, is an honest people, but the fifth is different, at that time, because the family was poor, so the fifth child was a Taoist priest at that time to learn art, after all, the master will give a bite to eat.

At that time, the Taoist priest was still very popular, and the Taoist priest would be invited to the red and white celebrations, so the life of the fifth child was much better than that of the fourth.

But the strange thing is that the fifth child never married a wife in his life, and this was the case until he died.

Hearing this, a glint flashed in Fang Ming's eyes, and he began to have a little bit of thought in his heart, but he still needed more corroboration.

"If I'm not mistaken, your grandfather's grave was buried by your fifth uncle?" Fang Ming looked at Hu Erbo and said.

"The back is, but the front is not. Hu Erbo shook his head, "I heard my father say that my grandfather's grave was moved by my fifth uncle later, because my fifth uncle knows this business, so my father didn't stop it." ”

"Quite an interesting person. ”

Fang Ming whispered, then looked at the Hu family, "Let's go, take me to meet this strange person of your Hu family." ”

The Hu family was already accustomed to Fang Ming's behavior of playing cards out of common sense, and the group set off again, but Hua Mingming, who had been following, couldn't stand it anymore.

Just walking in these fields in the afternoon, a boy like him stood sour.

"That Fang Ming, or I won't go, I'll wait for you in that hotel. Hua Ming said to Qin Yu.

"No, I can't. ”

Fang Ming directly refused, "It may be useful to get your place in a while." ”

"It's really fake, I don't know how to read feng shui. ”

Hua Ming looked at Fang Ming with a slight suspicion, but Fang Ming patted him on the shoulder, "It's absolutely true, and your role will be very important, without you, this thing can't be done." ”

"If that's the case, then I can stay with you and continue to take a look. ”

Hearing that his role was so great, Hua Mingming's face showed a smug look and he didn't mention the matter of leaving, and the group immediately headed for another place.

Unlike the place where the ancestors of the Hu family were buried, the fifth grandfather of Hu Fu was buried in a wooded mountain forest, and the road was very difficult to walk.

"There used to be a mountain road here, and there were fields on the mountain more than ten years ago, but over the years, with the barrenness of the fields, there have been fewer people from this mountain forest, and now the state does not allow trees to be cut down indiscriminately, and gradually this road is gone. ”

The grass was overgrown, Hua Ming stepped on the accumulated leaves and looked at the cobwebs wrapped around the trees, his face showed a look of fear, where did he walk around in the mountains and forests as a city person, thinking of those poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, his scalp was a little numb.

"I said Lao Hu, it's been almost an hour since I walked, why haven't I arrived yet. ”

In the end, Hua Ming quit, and the Hu family led him almost to walk two mountains, although the mountain is not high, only a hundred meters high, but it can't stand the lush forest, and it is almost the first road chopped out with wood.

Hu Fu's expression was also a little embarrassed, he had never been here at all, since he opened a store in the magic capital, his hometown came back every year for the holidays, and most of the incense was on the graves of his grandfather and father, as for the fifth grandfather, the last time he came was more than ten years ago, when his father was still alive.

"You can't be wrong, I remember it was in this direction, and I haven't been here for more than ten years, but the direction is not wrong. ”

Hearing Fifth Uncle Hu's words, Fang Ming sighed slightly, this is one of the reasons why rural people have the phenomenon of preference for sons, the same two brothers, one grave has descendants to worship every year to clean up the weeds, and the other is buried in the mountains and forests and no one cares.

Raising children is not only to prevent old age, but sometimes it is also to hope that someone can put a stick of incense on the grave after death.
