Chapter 55
In the previous article, the author has made a specific introduction to the surname Chen, who also had a rich and noble life experience in the eighties and nineties of the twentieth century, that is, in the first few years of the country's reform and opening up. www.biquge.info The author also mentioned in the previous article that at that time, the family with the surname Chen could be listed as a rich family by the people in the village almost at the same time, and there was a family surnamed Zhao in the village, that is, the family that Gui's sister once married.
According to legend, before the Zhao family came to settle in the village, there was once a Yang family who also settled in the village. It is said that there was once a feng shui treasure suitable for them to build a family house in the village, but the Yang family did not find the specific location and direction of the mansion that can make their whole family thrive in the feng shui vein, and later the Zhao family, who was proficient in yin and yang, found that ley line in the same place where CCTV had done the effect, and since then they have lived in the village, but in the early 21st century, they did not know that their entire Zhao family had found several generations in the villageThe original ancestral house has long since disappeared due to the passage of time, and later people can only remember the approximate location of their ancestral home. Later, Wu Yuan's eldest brother Bin heard Xinfa, who had been recognized as the heir of Mr. Daoist's family Qinglun, say that even the charms drawn by Mr. Daoist himself are not always effective. No one knows if the mysterious things of the ancestral vein will also be as full of spiritual power as mentioned in the Xianxia novel, but the spiritual power of those leylines also has a certain timeliness, as long as the purchase of a feng shui treasure land has been completely exhausted, there will no longer be the obvious effect as before, so people who understand the relationship between the leylines must find a new place for the leylines to make the whole family develop forever.
Because it is not the relationship of the family, no one in the later generations knows whether the deceased people in the Zhao family in the village have lived for three or four generations, and later there are only two brothers with the highest seniority, but from the perspective of their relationship with each other, they are no longer brothers, at most they can only be called cousins, and no one knows how many generations have gone through above them, maybe their father was once a brother, Perhaps only in them with their fathers those who love to eat are brothers. He's wife was originally an aunt who came out of their Zhao family, but it seems that the two contemporaries of the two highest Zhao clans who survived later were not direct relatives, but only intergenerational relatives. When the family god of He's family recorded his own surname in the column, it was not just a Wu character, but the second surname of Zhao Wu. Legend has it that he was originally the son-in-law of the Zhao family who recruited him as a guest, and he can never forget the kindness that the Zhao family once had to him, so he is also continuing the mission of smiling Ghana to pass on the ancestry. But it can also be seen from this that the Zhao family, who is He's wife, no longer has a brother, and her rank in the Zhao family is one generation higher than the two brothers in their Zhao family. In the rural world, only families without sons will give their daughters a son-in-law, if there are brothers, they will marry all their daughters, and all the property left by the father in his life can only be left to the sons to share together, and the daughter can only be skilled in the case of no brother in the family to inherit the property left by her parents, and by the way, she must also provide for her parents to die. It can also be seen that only the generations above the father of his wife Zhao are the most likely to have blood brothers, in addition to these three lines are the bloodline of their Zhao family, there is another person, but he has passed away many years ago, he and the two people in the small and highest backup in the village are also family brothers, but the age seems to be more than ten years older than the two of them, but they are not brothers, She didn't know why she had done something to the door, and she remembered that he came to his original family in the village and lived in the township instead. If you follow this age reasoning, it is very likely that the person who has walked out of the village and lived outside for many years is the eldest son and grandson of their entire family, she has been specializing in traditional Chinese medicine all her life, and the level of bathing has reached a very high level, and in the whole county can already be regarded as a grandmaster in Chinese medicine, he runs between the mountains and fields all the year round, according to legend, he has configured the importance has reached the point where he can connect the muscles and bones in a short time, It is far from being comparable to the half-way monk like Hua in the village, and what people have a more profound legend about him is that every time he suddenly encounters a frog or other goods when he is looking for medicinal materials on the mountain road, he is always the most excited thing, she will directly catch the one that she wants, and then put it in the palm of her hand and open her mouth. The frog thought in a panic that it was a cave that could play with flowers, and with a kick of his legs, he would be headless and brainless that seemed to be drilling in the mouth of the cave, and at that moment it was completely fooled, waiting for it not to be able to escape from the cave, but waiting for it to throw itself into the bloody mouth, and its head was at that moment by the human mouth that seemed to be semi-sharp and not sharp, saying that the teeth were hungry and there were some sharp teeth of a few front teeth, and the fangs and poke teeth were the same and bit down with a mouthful. The flesh and blood of the frog that turned around was immediately red and white, and it was displayed in the hands of Liang and his brother Qiang, who was already a master of medicine, and many people in the village were saying that despite the frog's small size, she could still be regarded as a great tonic. There are also legends that a strong level of medicine can reach such a height, once he was alone in the mountains to collect medicine, he accidentally didn't know how to break a bone of his own foot, if it was someone else, he would definitely be painful and disappointed and make crying dad and mother, but he didn't, on the one hand, because he was just alone in the mountains when he collected medicine, it is estimated that he also knew that crying dad and shouting for help like ordinary people did not have much effect, Because there was no ordinary person in the mountain who returned to those places, even if he shouted in his throat, no one would be able to hear it, followed by his medical level once again proving his identity as a medical master, he unhurriedly took out some medicinal materials from the pocket he usually carried with him wherever he went, according to his memory, I don't know if it was the medicinal wine he usually concocted or some other liquid medicine, he took out a little casually but in the palm of his hand, Then he applied the medicine directly to his own wound, and then slowly massaged his wound, and after a while, he only heard a "click", and he could feel that the pain of his own wound was slowly subsiding, and the broken bones began to merge at that moment.
Until this person existed in his impression for the first time since Bin could remember, his image in their minds was already that of an old dragon clock. Because every time he came to the house of his two brothers and his aunt in the stockade, he entered the stockade from the north, and his two brothers happened to live not far from the south of the stockade, so every time he came to the stockade, he had to go to any of his two brothers' house for the night, and Wu Yuan and their gate were not far from the way he had to go to his two brothers. The gate also happened to be facing the road, so every time they came to the village, as long as the brothers were playing in the courtyard of their house, they could see at first glance an old man wearing an old clothes, his face had already been covered with age spots and wrinkles, and she always had a black and shiny crutch in her hand, and a snakeskin bag that had already been a little black on her back. As long as the ministry is not familiar with people, their group of children are afraid to get too close to him. In terms of age, he was probably a dozen or twenty years older than the eldest of his two cousins in the stockade, and there was nothing particular about his great talent or wisdom, and on the surface he looked like an ordinary old man. But what people didn't expect was that the story that came out of him would be so moving.
This is also one of the stories that many people in the village are circulating from the superb level of medicine, I don't know when this story has begun to spread in the village, women and children know it, Wu Yuan heard this story from his cousin Cheng Long when he heard it. As the grandson of their fourth aunt's great-grandmother, who has been dead for many years, the dragon still has some of her inheritance, and their fourth aunt's great-grandmother is always full of curiosity about the strange things in this world, especially those things that they can't prove with their own facts, which are more likely to stir up different waves in their eyes or hearts. From their fourth-aunt great-grandmother, who had lived in this world for more than 70 years, they heard many bizarre and strange stories that they had seen or heard in her life.
Later, Bin heard such a story from the mouth of their fourth aunt's great-grandparents. He said that when he was still young, there was a fan mother in the village who didn't know where to come from to the village to confer spirits and dance, Bin had long forgotten what he said, but he always remembered that the fan mother woman who came out of her mouth had a special skill, he was able to put the tip of the red-hot ploughshare at his stomach, and then took a hammer to nail the ploughshare to his body, It wasn't until later that Bin, who had read a lot of books and never believed in any ghosts and gods, couldn't imagine what kind of relationship the red-hot ploughshare had with his belly and the spiritualism or the dancing god, or that the fan mother and your good-looking people proved that he didn't lie to anyone, and anyone who saw the red ploughshare couldn't even nail through his flesh, which is no longer something that ordinary people's bodies can do, and it must be the result of the blessing of gods or ancestors. So the people in the whole village, including Bin's fourth aunt and great-grandmother, also believed it thoroughly, and until her old age, she still unswervingly believed that the lost mother did have the authentic ability to summon spirits and ghosts.
There are even more ghost stories that circulate that they don't know which elder of Mr. Taoist's family once had the ability to do this: once he was busy outside alone because of something, but by the time he was done with everything, it was already dark, and he had to walk alone on the darker night road. His two sons, too, out of kindness, saw that his father had not yet come home after dark, so they made an appointment to go together, and the two of their fathers took them home. Halfway there, they met their father, who was walking in the dark. It was at this time that his two sons suddenly became ill-intentioned towards their father and wanted to play a prank on their father. So the two brothers slowly approached their father in the form of a legendary ghost in the night road, trying to scare their father. The father of the brothers, who was about to make a joke about the legendary ghosts, was soon discovered by his father, who was already on high alert as he walked on the night road. But the gentleman did not look back, but continued to walk in the direction he had gone home as if nothing had happened. When he found that the two destroyers had slowly approached him, he unconsciously picked two thatches on the side of the road, and then made a look of the cold weather when the wind blew, and his two hands seemed to pull his clothes at the same time, and then said that it was environmentally friendly on his chest. In fact, when he did these two movements in a row, he was already in front of his chest, holding the thatch with his hands together and tying a knot, silently chanting words in his mouth, and then clasped his hands around his chest and waited for the two ghosts to slowly approach behind him. Just when his two sons were getting closer and closer to their father, and could give their father a big startle, I saw that their father's two hands around his chest suddenly changed, and he tied several knots in a row with his hands as if he was doing it normally, just as they were happily getting closer and closer to their father, only to see that their father had something in his hand at some point as if he had directly cut it off with his hand, and then the two brothers only felt their necks tight, Instantly unconscious. It was not until he came home alone, and his two sons were at home, that he asked his wife where their two sons were, and his wife said that she had seen him so late and did not come home, and their two sons made an appointment to pick up their father, and she in turn asked her husband if he had met their two sons on the way. After hearing his wife's description, the Taoist priest felt that things were sleepless, and hurriedly ran to the place where he had been orphaned and two night ghosts, only to see that his two sons had already been in different places, and had already been dead for a long time. But in the eyes of the group of old people who were the great-grandparents of Bin's fourth aunt and great-grandfather, they had to admire the unfathomable profundity of the old Taoist priest in arrival, and it was precisely because of this that it unconsciously led to the good stories that were passed on from mouth to mouth in their mouths, and the more suspenseful things were, the more profound the impression they could leave in their inner world. Until Wu Yuan's aunt and mother, that is, the second daughter of the Xu family's daughter, Wangzhen Wuzijian, didn't know where she learned the spell of looking at eggs, and then opened an altar at home, worshiped the Bodhisattva, and began to send a steady stream of eggs to those who took eggs on their bodies and rolled on the dirty clothes that their family members had worn a few times, and then put them directly into the big iron pot to cook, and then peeled off the eggs layer by layer through her hands. Turning aside the different lines from the inside to the top over and over again to guess the past and future of the people who have been rolled eggs, those things have happened, or those things will happen, or those things will happen, or they will be met by those doormen who are destined for the situation, their fourth aunt and great-grandparents, and even a group of women in the village, including their mother Xiu, are the first batch of fortune tellers, their fourth aunts, great-grandmothers, and their mother Xiu are the first batch, almost all of them in their own family have passed an egg, and then take it to Wangzhen to see, He also saw from the eggs that Cheng Long, one of the grandchildren of their fourth aunt's great-grandmother, had suffered a total of four disasters in his life before that. Confucius heard that there had been some disasters in him, and at first he was still curious about what disasters would happen to him. Originally, they were reaching out to the whole family, and the profound influence of the grandmother who was still alive at that time in their family, after a long time of hearing and seeing, almost everyone in their entire family still really believed that this was something that few people had ever seen in the world. When Long Ting Wangzhen said that he had four large and small disasters on his body, and then he began to seriously and thoroughly think about what disasters he had on his body with this question, and after thinking about it so hard for a long time, he really made up some catastrophic things that had happened to him, which happened to be almost the same as the phenomenon that Wangzhen saw from the muddy eggs on the dragon's body, that is, from the front, it just supplemented the bad side of her eyes on the eggs. Later, she calculated that Wu Yuan's eldest brother Bin and third brother Xian had almost all their lives guarded by their uncle, who guarded them tightly, like an old hen protecting her chicks. In fact, those things were originally facts, almost all of his brothers and sisters-in-law studied in college, and they all protected him like his parents at home, and when his political life was rising step by step, they all made their most human side, and they definitely no longer dragged their feet in anything, but tried their best to meet the needs of his work, and never gave him any handle to be controlled by others in his political career. And these are the facts that are placed in front of all the discerning people who know what happened to their family's past. It's just that Wangzhen at that time showed all this to others under the guise of looking at eggs and measuring people's fortunes, and suddenly all the people who were doing it felt curious and mysterious.
At the beginning, Bin's fourth aunt and great-grandfather mother was also one of the victims, but as time went by, she also discovered that Wangzhen's way of measuring people's lives also had its untrustworthy side, the reason was that she had dealt with a lot of things in this area all her life, and when she compared Wangzhen with those magical people he had seen, she still found a lot of loopholes from it, and those loopholes also caused her suspicion of Wangzhen at the time. And just after Wu Yuan's fourth aunt and great-grandmother looked at it for more than ten years, Wangzhen also suddenly died in her own home, and that day it happened to be Bin who came home from the outside, and once the Jiang family in the good village was setting up a banquet to celebrate the birth of his second child with the people in the village, just when Bin rushed to the Jiang family, their second cousin Wangzhen also happened to go over to celebrate together, a week later, Bin heard their uncle Qiang say that Wangzhen had died suddenly, and according to his speculation, Wangzhen's sudden death was probably about the second day after the Jiang family feasted guests. No one knows what reason she died suddenly, he didn't notify any relatives and friends after he died, even the body was dragged to the state city to be cremated, and even his own son didn't strengthen his last side. Up to that time, her mother was in her eighties, but she was still alive and healthy in this world, and if it weren't for the fact that this was the case, no one would have believed that he would suddenly die so silently. Her mother, Mei, had been going to give her flowers some time before he was temporary, and Wangzhen was still giving her things to her mother and not wanting them, and he wouldn't hang on himself if he gave him money, until that time his two youngest siblings had already tried the approval after the age of forty and had been buried by his mother's side, and he only knew how to eat his mother's and use his mother's when he didn't go to work all day, and she had already looked down on his two younger brothers and sisters, and after that he never gave her mother a penny.
Wangzhen's mother, Mei, probably also heard about the fact that the land in the village had been expropriated by the government, and she suddenly came to the village to grasp the relationship as the only daughter of pragmatism, and even opened the village to die of the land that belonged to him, but the village has formed such a rule for many years, the daughter who marries out cannot come to her mother's house to share any family property and land, unless there is no son, and if there is a son, the daughter cannot be the first heir. He went to the point where no one was willing to pay attention to her when he asked for land, and then he returned to the county without any words to be made, these are all digressions.
For the man who is rumored to be a god who can already be called always the strength of the Zhao family, he will carry his medicine collection belongings to his two bear family heads for a day or two every once in a while, and sometimes go to the head of the family for a few days, and he has also helped He's youngest daughter paint her furniture with paint when she got married. It was only at that time that people discovered that the man who was thought to be a billionaire was also a versatile person, who not only had an amazing talent in traditional Chinese medicine, but also did carpentry work like Hua, and could also raise yin and yang, find dragons and points for others, and watch the house. But the old age life is not satisfactory, he is not only alone in his later years, but also blind in one eye, every time the Ming of the Chen family sees him and looks away from his own business to settle down for others when he always secretly scolds in Austria: "No wonder his eyes will be blind, it turns out that this is how to look at the house for others, believe it or not, the socks do not forget to be blind." Later, Qiang took an apprentice for himself in the village, and the apprentice he accepted was also the kind that was not usually pinched by people, and he would only steal and play tricks in front of others, and when he saw the advantages of killing pigs, he quickly dressed himself up as a pig killer, and later he saw that others were going to the county all day long by this Beidou every day to go around the county and make a lot of money every day, so he was also run into the county all day by Beidou, But such a person is born dry and thin, and the whole body remembers to hold the bones, and has no power to restrain the chicken, and is afraid of the heavy when he is at home, and takes a bath when he is working outside, and soon others can see that he is stealing and playing tricks, and after working with him once, the person will never cooperate with him again, and he cannot do heavier work alone. Soon, everyone else got their own satisfactory remuneration for those gravity work, but he didn't earn anything, until he saw in the county town that those important people could make a lot of money every day by setting up a medicine stall in the county, so he was moved by this. The man soon found Qiang, a miraculous medicine master who was rumored to be a god, and gave him both chicken and meat, and took him to his home to perform a ritual of apprenticeship. Qiang saw that his apprentice was so sincere when he was there, and his heart was also greatly bone, and he told his apprentice about the medical knowledge he had accumulated over the years, and it was not two years before his apprentice really looked for some Chinese medicine under his guidance and set up a stall in the county, but he was actually a halfway monk, and others would not easily believe that he could see people before he was really tempered. After all, no matter how people's lives are, it is impossible to bear them, and to anyone who they don't understand what they are referring to, that will definitely make them lose more than they gain. In this way, the apprentice's dream of making money failed again, but when he knew something about his apprentice, he also benefited his apprentice Jue a lot, so he put it in his own home and enshrined it. His apprentice's father has long since passed away, but his mother is still alive in this world, and at this time there are rumors of ups and downs outside, and it is very funny that he is hanging out with his apprentice's mother all day long, which really forced him to desperation, he returned to his hometown alone in a fit of anger, and it didn't take long to hear that he had passed away. And his apprentice also mistook his wishful thinking here, just after he passed away, Tu's medicine that was only a discipline and halfway was interrupted, and few people bought a copy of the Chinese medicine stall he guessed on the street from beginning to end, and finally forced him to completely end up in the county town to set up a stall to sell medicine in such an ideal business that could prompt him to make a lot of money, and soon after he also completely earned the medicine stall, and returned to his county town to walk the streets and alleys. In the life of a temporary worker, the reason is that that kind of work does not require any technical skills and does not require any professional level, as long as you can have the strength to do it, much better after-sales income is more, good money is less income, but sometimes a few days have not been a suit can be done, and even survival is a problem when you have not done it.
This world is always like this, everyone must have their own real pay when they need to have real gains, and those who have gains will also need to pay a price that is stronger than others. Those who have already acquired real talents have already paid a more difficult price than others, and the bees have picked a hundred flowers to make honey, so that they can taste the sweetness of the time. There are many people who only see the superficial scenery of others when they get it, and how can they know that they have already paid a more painful price in private than anyone else. How many people can understand that the painful price of those who have been in the past can not be a short period of pain of one day or two, some people can get their own far-sighted achievements in fact in his lifetime has already paid a heavy price, people's real talent and real learning is not indiscriminate, people who can have higher achievements must have experienced the process of great tribulation. Who would have thought that Qiang had experienced many years of tempering on his medical path, and that apprentice of his was not only only a halfway monk, but also had no medical skills left over for more than two years from beginning to end. Before he could do so, he began to follow his master's example and went to the county town to set up a herb stall. From beginning to end, no one believed that he would know any medical skills, this is obviously a lie under the nose of a clear-eyed person, who would be so naïve to wait for you to take it to him to joke. His life lies in his master, so the same path you have walked has basically not undergone any trials that can be seen, and he has never been able to get a good case through his own fingers. Some things are not something that anyone can play, even if the person who can play also needs to pay the cost and price after he has played, and the average person cannot afford to play on the basis of any material conditions.
The purpose of Qiang's apprentice was originally to see such a business opportunity that he could make a lot of money by learning Chinese medicine well, so he began to opportunistically approach medicine, but then it was because of him that his master was completely angry. Just after his master had passed away, he also went to the streets of the county town alone to set up a medicine stall for a few weeks, but from beginning to end he almost didn't get anything, just when he was now in his own labor force but did not have the slightest gain, at that time for him every day of living expenses would be a huge expense for him, soon he no longer wanted to surrender to life, and began to do other things professionally, since then the medical experience accumulated in a lifetime of strengthening has also been lost. Since he passed away, it is impossible for him to continue to move around in his two cousins and his aunt's house, and soon few people will remember that there was such a person, and as for his medical skills, he has already been completely raised, and those who once had a deep memory of her person have also slowly passed away one by one, and his life has completely disappeared in the village since then.
In fact, these are not surprising things, the author mentioned in the previous article that his Zhao family was also one of the richest families in the village in that era, not only because of the medical skills of the eldest brother in their family who had been married. To be honest, although the sophistication of his medical skills was also a part that people in those days could not ignore, but his life was only to see those stalls he usually set up on the streets, and when people came to see the doctor, they gave people to live to feed themselves, and his apprentices saw that he made a lot of money by setting up a stall on the street, which was just an illusion on the outside, in fact, he did not make a few dollars from beginning to end. Even if he earns some money, at most it will be his usual living expenses after that, in fact, if you talk about the relatively rich and noble people in that era, her ten-year income may not be worth his oldest brother Liang in the village. This Liang is also the brother-in-law I didn't mention in the previous article, and the younger generation of the Xu family in the village like to call him "Aunt Daddy", and the people of the younger two generations have to call him "Aunt Uncle". And within their Zhao family, the younger generation of people also want to call him "big daddy", the younger two generations want to call him "big grandfather", and the Chen family brother Long Hefu wants to call him "big grandfather" himself.
In that era, Liang was also one of the only two people in the village who had a job, and the other was a cousin of the same generation in the big village, but the work unit of the department was in the neighboring county, and it was not close to the village, and the choice was not far, but his age seemed to be more than ten years old and twenty years older than Liang, and when Liang was working hard in his own work, he had already retired and started to support the elderly at home. But these two people are one of the achievers of the Han cultural level in the village in that era, this is the two of them together as the pioneers of the cultural people in the village, with the two of them with a high level of education in the front to the village in the village, including the secretary of Tang Wei under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the Wu family's rich and middle people paved some of the way to their academic careers, and then the young talents led by Fu Hexiong embarked on a study journey with their academic careers as the furnace. For this person, it is also a person we will introduce in more detail later, those are later words, so stay tuned.
As for Liang, he was the only cement factory worker in the county that could be called a state-owned enterprise in his time. On the one hand, he is also the only one in their Zhao family who inherited their family's ancestral business, and it used to be Mr. Gong's family craftsmanship and tradition, I don't know why, Liang has preferred to have his grandfather since he was a child, and even when he recited it for the dead people who have worn it for many generations, he doesn't know whether it originated from Buddhism or Taoism. Therefore, later Liang was also the only one in their family who changed the scriptures in the family, and then he also became one of the few cultural people in the village and even in the surrounding dozens of miles. Among the later people, few people can know whether the reason why Liang was able to embark on a job position in the cement factory, the only state-owned enterprise owned in the county in that era, where he could get retirement funds, was related to the fact that he had been studying the Taoist scriptures left by their Zhao family's ancestors since he was a child, and as time went by, he knew more and more words. Anyway, just when the backing man always remembered, he had already begun to have a stable job in the only state-owned cement factory in the county, with a fixed salary every month, and then the people in the village who were enviable from beginning to end with public wages to eat.
