Uncle Ren smoked two cigarettes in a row, and when he was too addicted to smoking, he opened the conversation. The house was bought five months ago by his son, who divorced a few years ago and whose daughter lives with him. Last summer, Mr. Ren traveled to Guilin and met a woman who got married in the fall, the tall and thin lady I saw just now. This Mrs. Ren used to teach in Guilin, but I didn't understand what the specific class was, but I only heard that it was a spiritual class in India. After moving to a new house in Shijiazhuang, there are seven rooms and three bathrooms on two floors, and Mrs. Ren asked for a private fitness room for her, usually no one can enter casually, always close the door, and only go at night. said that it was fitness, once the uncle went to the toilet in the middle of the night, and saw that the door of the fitness room was half-covered, and the dim light was shining from inside, as if his daughter-in-law had gone to the bathroom. Uncle Ren looked inside, and found that there were a lot of candles lit inside, and there was a huge Buddha statue, I couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman, sitting cross-legged, holding his knees with his hands, his hair was very long, and there seemed to be a small Buddha sitting on the top of his head. There is a half-circle of candles on the ground in front of this Buddha statue, and the light of the fire is dancing back and forth, which looks quite scary.

Uncle Ren was a little scared, but curious and heavy, so he peeked in through the crack in the door to see what else was strange. There were mountains of books, at least hundreds, a TV on the floor, a DVD player on top, and a floor mat. When Uncle Ren was looking at it, he seemed to feel that there was something behind him, but when he looked back, it was his daughter-in-law, and she didn't know when she was already standing behind her, with an expressionless face. Uncle Ren was so frightened that he woke up, and asked angrily why you didn't make a sound, which is rude.

The daughter-in-law was even more angry than Uncle Ren, and said Didn't she already tell you that this is my private fitness room, and you can't enter without permission, Uncle Ren said that I just stood at the door and looked, and I didn't enter at all. His daughter-in-law no longer paid attention to him, and locked the door when he entered the house, and since then, Uncle Ren has avoided walking by this room, for fear of being suspicious. Not only that, but Uncle Ren's daughter-in-law's usual speech and behavior are not very normal, she doesn't use chopsticks when eating, she grabs everything with her hands, never drinks soup, and she doesn't eat any meat when she is thin into a bamboo pole. That's not all, his daughter-in-law forbids her family to eat beef, and everything related to cattle is not allowed, and cowhide products cannot be used, such as leather jackets, belts, leather shoes, leather bags, and beef jerky and beef powder are not allowed.

The most annoying thing is that Uncle Ren's daughter-in-law went to the farmers' market in the early winter of last year to order a calf that had not yet grown up, and hired someone to slaughter it on the street, which frightened the passers-by. "It costs more than 3,000 yuan to buy that calf, and you don't eat meat, don't you think it's bad money?" Uncle Ren said angrily.

Ma Zhuang asked: "I didn't understand, your daughter-in-law doesn't let others eat beef and use cowhides, but isn't it a contradiction that she slaughters cattle on the street? What kind of teaching does she believe?" Uncle Ren shook his head and said that he didn't know, and he didn't dare to ask. Sometimes when I ask my son, his son neither knows nor cares.

"For the sake of family harmony, if you don't eat beef, you won't eat it, and you can't eat mutton, pork, chicken, and fish!" I said.

Uncle Ren was even more angry, and he couldn't say it, Ma Zhuang was very strange: "What, your daughter-in-law is too ruthless, she is a vegetarian herself, you have to follow her?" Uncle Ren said that his daughter-in-law doesn't care about eating other meat, it is his wife who is in charge, and his wife believes in a "blessing to religion" a few years ago, which seems to be a mixed religion of Buddhism and Taoism, and does not kill or eat meat. Every day at home, I play a recording to listen to Buddhist scriptures, and I have to recite the Buddha in the morning and evening, before eating, and when I sleep. Sometimes when I go to the church gatherings in the county seat, I bring back a lot of things, such as blessings such as water and peace charms to ward off evil spirits, and I have to let my family drink them, and they are pasted on every door. The daughter-in-law and granddaughter resolutely refused to drink, and Aunt Ren was very unhappy.

When Uncle Ren was talking, I sent a text message to Kaohsiung to ask, what religion in Southeast Asia is dedicated to the Buddha on the top of the head, and you can't eat beef, but you still have to kill cows to worship God. It didn't take long for Kaohsiung's reply to be as simple as ever: "Hinduism." I hurriedly opened the browser program on my phone and typed the word "Hindu" into the input box. This Nokia N73 mobile phone is a Symbian system, which is completely incomparable with the current Android and Apple, and can also access the Internet, but the network speed is slower, and the interface is also very simple, which can only display basic text and pictures.

The search results came out, I looked at the text content, only to know that this Hinduism originated in India (nonsense), and Buddhism also originated in India is very different, in short, it is messy, and there are contradictions between multiple doctrines, the biggest feature is that it is forbidden to kill cattle and eat beef, and many places strictly prohibit eating cattle and killing cows, otherwise you will go to prison. But when sacrificing to the goddess, a large number of cattle and other domestic animals, such as sheep, are killed, at least hundreds of thousands of heads each time, and the scene is called a bloody one.

I showed these search results to Uncle Ren, and he said that he had also inquired about others before, and he didn't know if his daughter-in-law believed in this teaching. Ma Zhuang smiled and said: "Hinduism plus Buddhism and Taoism, Uncle Ren, your house is really lively." ”

Uncle Ren said: "This is not counted, the key is that the two of them don't like each other, you say that I believe in the wrong religion, I say that you believe in the wrong religion, and fight every day." I was upset, so I asked my son to find a way to solve it, he said that these two people are stubborn, no one can give in, so he went to Thailand, said that he invited an ancient god of Southeast Asia to come back and offer, not only to attract wealth, but also to ward off evil spirits and keep peace, so that the family is more harmonious. ”

When it comes to the gods of Thailand and Southeast Asia, I immediately came to the spirit and asked what kind of god Uncle Ren is. Uncle Ren said that his son didn't let him see it, he was brought back in a small wooden box, locked in the study, usually he was busy with business, rarely came back, and he didn't know whether the god was male or female, black or white.

"Does it work?" I asked. Uncle Ren smiled bitterly and said that it worked, but it could still make trouble to this point? Since his son came back from getting that Thai god statue, when he went to bed at night, either Aunt Ren said that he dreamed of hell, or his daughter-in-law said that the true god was angry with her, and they blamed the other party for believing in the god that there was a problem, and the two quarreled even more.

I asked Uncle Ren if he had also had this kind of dream, and his expression was a little scared: "Not only did I dream of it, but I also saw it!" Ma Zhuang hurriedly asked what he saw, was it a god, and Uncle Ren recalled that he had dreamed of a person with horns on his head sitting on the ground for several days in a row, so that he could sincerely worship, otherwise he would be unlucky. Then one night when I got up to go to the bathroom, I saw someone standing motionless in the dark living room. At first, he thought it was his daughter-in-law, but he didn't care. After going to the toilet, the person who came back was still there, and when he returned to the bedroom, he found that the bed was empty, and his wife was not there before. But the strange thing is that although there are two bathrooms downstairs, the master bedroom of the son and daughter-in-law has a separate one, and the bathroom has just been there, and there is no one, who is in the living room?
