Grandpa Hu also loves me very much, and he often says that he is destined to be lonely for the rest of his life. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info has no wife and no children, this is his life. But he treated me as if I was his own daughter, and I don't know how many good things were put in my stomach. Outsiders don't know and think I'm his daughter. I also learned a lot of interesting stories from his experience.

It seems that every time I see Grandpa Hu, those gentle eyes always shine with kindness. Most of the time he sat in a rocking chair, staring blankly at the sky, seemingly mired in endless contemplative memories. What flows in the ravine is the long river of years, the afterglow of the sunset on the yellowed skin, how many glorious years he has witnessed, how many years like water......

When I heard the sound of pushing the door, I just got up slightly to take a look, and said hello if I knew him, showing a hint of a smile......

In my memory, Grandpa Hu is a very mysterious person, and his apprentice Bai Xuanzhi may have his master and his apprentice! The two of them have been seeing the beginning and not seeing the end most of the time, especially his apprentice, who is even better than the blue, and the sense of mystery is better than that of Grandpa Hu. Of course, that's all for later. I only met his apprentice when I was ten years old, and I didn't even know that Grandpa Hu had an apprentice before that.

My relationship with Grandpa Hu is very deep, at least during the time when my grandmother was not at home, I stayed at his house and was taken care of by him. When I was a child, most of the time, he had to take me with me no matter what he did, put me on the back of the cow when he looked at the cow, put me on the ridge when he was harvesting, and simply helped me get a place to shade the sun, and was reluctant to expose me to the sun.

Every time he pushed the door in, he saw me with the warm smile in his memory, holding a small string of tobacco in his hand, and his hand kept shaking, the hookah was his lifeblood, no matter when, I saw him holding the hookah.

At that time, it was a luxury to be able to eat candy, and most of the time Grandpa Hu didn't know where to get some candy and quietly put it in my pocket, for fear that my grandmother would see it and confiscate it. In fact, my grandmother also knew, and she also turned a blind eye, not wanting to expose this secret that belonged to me and Grandpa Hu.

Once I asked him where he was from, and he didn't speak, just stared straight ahead. In fact, in his heart, he also misses his family! Until now, I don't know where he is. After a long time, he said that he was already from this place, and he had already grown from the same roots as this small village, and he was inseparable.

He has a story about how many old people in his hometown will use the method of "standing chopsticks" to "ask ghosts". What is a standing chopstick? It means that a child or a family member is sick and has a fever for no reason, can't fall asleep or has pain all over his body, and going to the hospital will not help. The old man used the method of "asking the ghost" to determine that he was hit by the ghost, so he burned paper and sent the ghost away, and the person would naturally get better. In some places, one chopstick is erected, and in some places there are three chopsticks, in short, it is a singular number.

It's unbelievable, but it's a common thing in his hometown. He had a classmate named Xiaodi, who was about ten years old at the time, and was very naughty and liked to run to the creek to play in the water or swim, as long as the family couldn't watch it, he would run to the creek or go to the barren orchard behind the village to catch crickets. Once Xiao Di came back from swimming in the creek, and suddenly fainted on the ground when he returned to the door, and then his family was like boiled ants, and he was very anxious. The news spread, and everyone hurried to his house, some to see the excitement, and some to help. His family immediately went to invite Long Po, and when Long Po came, she touched Xiao Di's hand and pinched his ears, saying that the child was "bumpering". "Standing chopsticks" and ask what's going on!

This standing chopsticks is to use a bowl for ordinary eating, fill a bowl of water, take a bamboo chopstick, and put it on the bottom of the bowl. When you erect it, you have to say in your mouth: "The child is not sensible, did he collide with you?"

If you do hit a ghost, when you throw your hand back, the chopsticks will be able to stand in the water on their own.

The first time it stands, it means that there is a ghost following, and Long Po stands up again to ask what kind of ghost she collided with, usually according to the patient's symptoms. Xiao Di's whole body was cold, and his whole body was cold, so Long Po asked if he was drowned, and the chopsticks were still standing upright. In this way, it can be determined that the ghosts are haunted and come to beg for food and clothing. The third time to stand chopsticks, is to promise to send money, food and clothing, send the ghost away, Long Po also said a lot of good things, and then took the water bowl to the door, called Xiao Di's family, burned incense, candles, paper money, and kept burning, probably after burning a big bag, the chopsticks fell down, Long Po poured the remaining water far away, and turned around, splashed from the shoulder to the back, and kept looking in one direction, without the slightest intention of looking back. This process of sending ghosts can't be sloppy at all, and the last step can't be looked back, otherwise the ghost will think that you are reluctant to let him go, and he will pester you for a while.

Long Po took a kitchen knife, waved it a few times in front of Xiao Di, and then read some scriptures, and Xiao Di's pale face gradually became a little bloody. Then the unthinkable happened, Xiaodi snorted twice, woke up slowly, and after waking up, he had been crying vigorously in his mother's arms, and said vigorously that a child dragged him away, and said that he had no clothes to wear, and asked him to help find a dress. Later, Long Po said to Xiaodi's mother, Xu You burned paper money and clothes for the little ghost just now, so the little ghost was satisfied, so he naturally let Xiao Di go, and now it's okay, in the future, don't go to the creek to play alone, it's easy to touch dirty things.

Later, there were really a lot of children swimming and playing next to the stream, and it is estimated that after the news of this happened, the parents in the village were worried and controlled their children to prevent them from running around and playing.

Grandpa Hu finished speaking, then looked at me, and said earnestly: "Xiaoqing, you are young, weak and weak, and it is easiest to attract some ghosts and monsters, so don't go to the creek to play in the future, if Xiaoqing really wants to play with water, Grandpa Hu has a big bucket here, you take it home, Grandpa Hu will help you fill it with water, you can play as long as you want." "Later, I really took the big bucket home, and put it in front of my grandmother's house, Grandpa Hu really helped me carry water, filled the bucket with water, and I was really happy to soak in the water for a long time, until I soaked too much water and peeled off the skin before I dared to play so crazy. At that time, there was no running water in the village, and if you used water, you had to go to the well at the entrance of the village to fetch water, but fortunately it was not very far from my grandmother's house, only three or four hundred meters away.
