When I was a child, there lived a "weird" grandfather in the old house on the left. Speaking of this neighbor's grandfather, www.biquge.info actually grandma taught me to call him Grandpa Hu, and he looks like he is in the same grade as grandma, maybe older than grandma! At least that's what I think. The people in the village call him Tiger Master, and I heard that he has always been a person. And for some reason, he has never married, and he has the impression that he is a little gloomy and mysterious. No one has ever seen any relatives in his house, there has been any lively noise, some have just come to his door, and some people have asked for him.

That's right, his job is what people call "half immortal", also called Mr. Ask Immortal, he also helps people tell fortunes, but when he is in a good mood, he only reveals two or three sentences to you, and most of the time the sentence that comes out of his mouth is: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed!" "But the people in the village still respect him, why didn't my parents ask him for fortune telling? It was he who refused to help my parents with divination, and persuaded my parents to treat me well, but I still couldn't escape the fate of being abandoned.

The right neighbor lives a mother-in-law with a very strange temper, I call her Granny Miao, I heard that she was married by the Miao people. In that era of war and chaos, she came to settle in a small village with her husband, but her husband's life ended with the end of the war to resist US aggression and aid Korea. She was left alone to live, and she also developed a stinky temper. But she likes children very much, and she doesn't hurt me less.

In my childhood, Grandpa Hu and Granny Miao had a deep influence on me. I always feel that they have endless stories and mysteries. My grandmother was usually very busy, going to the fields to farm, mowing grass and grazing cattle, and often left me at home, and whenever I had time, I would run to see Grandpa Hu, or tease Grandma Miao, and pester them to tell me stories.

It wasn't until I was in elementary school that I ended this kind of lively life, I made a lot of new friends, and I began to get more and more naughty, and my grandmother chased me for several streets with a feather duster in order to take care of me, and where could she run like a rabbit, I turned around and grimaced at her while running. Sometimes when I am tired of running, I go directly to Grandpa Hu's house to eat, or go directly to Granny Miao's house to hide, generally my grandmother does not dare to go to Granny Miao's house, and when I go in, I scold a few words of "stinky girl" and go home, I don't worry about whether I eat or not, because I don't have to worry, grandma knows that I often pester two neighbors to eat.

Sometimes when I open the window at Granny Miao's house and see my grandma sitting in front of the house washing vegetables and cooking, I will keep looking at my grandma stupidly, and then I can't help but run out and pester my grandma again, saying that I will help her do things, but in fact she is mischievous and destructive, which makes my grandma cry and laugh. I was already sensible at that time, I knew that my grandmother loved me, and I also knew that my grandmother was afraid that I would be hypocritical when I beat me.

But every time I went to sleep, my grandmother would watch me fall asleep before I fell asleep, afraid that I would kick the quilt at night, and in the haze I saw my grandmother help me cover the quilt. I also dimly heard the words in my grandmother's mouth, "Xiaoqing! You have to be a good man! This is the sentence that I remember the most, and it is also my grandmother's desire for me!

Speaking of Grandpa Hu, I have the impression that his face is full of wrinkles, not tall, a little hunchbacked, white hair, long and thick eyebrows, a pair of kind eyes deeply sunken, many teeth have fallen out, and his hands and feet are very rough, but he is ingenious, especially using grass to weave different small animals. Among my childhood toys, there were cute bunnies, cunning foxes, simple cattle, and almost enough to start an animal story, but they were all works of art made of grass.

Grandpa Hu's house has always been smoky, there are three rooms in the courtyard, the left room is his bedroom, the middle room is enshrined in many gods, and there is a large Ding furnace in the middle, and the incense burns all year round. The right room is dedicated to a statue of Guanyin, and it is also incense all day long, and the red and big apples are paid all the year round, sometimes I will stare at the big apple and swallow saliva, if it weren't for Grandpa Hu telling me that I can't touch the tribute in the two rooms, I guess I can't help but eat.

As soon as I saw my greedy appearance, Grandpa Hu would take out apples from the rice bowl and let me eat them to satisfy my hunger. Then he sat on a wooden bench with a hookah and asked me to sit next to him and began the mysterious journey of the Arabian Nights for the day.

He often said to me, I am light, easy to see dirty things, so I don't have to be afraid to see it, touch my forehead, boldly say, people are humane, demons have demons, gods have gods, ghosts have ghosts, each has its own scenery, each has its own trade-offs... Let me have good thoughts in my heart and know how to be grateful for the picture. Even if I accidentally meet the other person's eyes, I am told to follow my good thoughts, and I will always turn evil into good fortune. Grandpa Hu said that I have to experience a lot of incredible things in my life, even if I see it, it is fate, and those who are destined are born and destroyed by fate, so that I need to know how to open my mind. I was young at the time, and I didn't know what Grandpa Hu meant, but I just silently remembered everything he said. This is my strength, I can always remember everything my elders say, even if I don't understand it.

Sometimes Grandpa Hu takes his universal bag out, and I will secretly follow him, because children are curious. But every time I was caught, I was told to follow him and not be naughty.

Once, when I was sleeping at home at night, I always woke up in the middle of the night and felt that someone was watching me, and I was too young to know the word fear. So I got up and looked under my feet, and I saw a man dressed in white and a man dressed in black standing with his head blank and staring at me, and I looked at them and winked, but they were still standing there, motionless, and I sat up and greeted them, and they ignored me. Maybe I was a little louder, and my grandmother, who was sleeping next to me, was woken up by me and asked me what was wrong, and she was still talking to herself if she didn't sleep so late. I pointed to the direction of the door and said that there were two people standing there, looking at me, and my grandmother quickly hugged me tightly with one hand, blindfolded me with the other, and let me sleep, and said in a word, children are not sensible, pass by, don't scare children! As a result, I didn't sleep very well that night, and I peeked out the window, only to find a puff of white smoke, and then there was silence outside. Early in the morning, grandma hurriedly ran to tell Grandpa Hu about me, and then Grandpa Hu came to look at me and told my grandma to rest assured, those two are black and white, and they came out to do errands nearby, but they were tired and rested when they passed by! Then I said, then why are the two of them staring at me, Grandpa Hu said with a smile, you don't stare at others, how do you know that people are staring at you! This black and white impermanence is a righteous ghost, Xiaoqing doesn't need to be afraid! After that, he recited a few verses of the scriptures, put a peace buckle on me, and said that I would be safe.
