"Wait, you told me that you were confused, you said she came and went, left and came again......" Fei Fei didn't react at once.

Jiafeng had to pour beans into a bamboo tube and spit it out quickly......

Since Jiafeng entered the county to study, the woman left Jiafeng's father, why did a well-off family become impoverished? In order to provide for the children's education and life, Jiafeng's father went to a place in South China to re-engage in his old business, contracting small projects to start, because he did not go out for a long time, the business was unfamiliar, so he did not eat less, only earned back a little money, except for the children's tuition fees and New Year's expenses, there was little left.

Could it be that the glory of Jiafeng's father has gone away, just like that feeling, swaying between interests and passing away with the wind.

Does Jiafeng's father still have to go out to work?

There is no choice.

Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, it doesn't take so long, a few years have passed, and there have been considerable changes in Jiafeng's family.

There is now this wide courtyard, witnessing the efforts of Jiafeng's father, from the old house, moved into the new house, although it is only a secluded area, but a big room, covers a wide area, the scenery is infinite, out of the gate, at a glance, is facing the archway, but hundreds of meters away.

There is an unhardened road through the village at the door, behind the house and on the left side are sparse pine forests, in front of a piece of soil, on the right is a pond of dozens of acres, the pond is full of people, the scenery is beautiful, quiet and peaceful.

One day, an old man passed by, it was the third master, carrying a pocket, full of energy, he had long since stopped cutting grass and raising fish, and the old thread-bound books were obliquely exposed in the pocket, "Ancient * Books", which jumped into view.

When I was a child, Jiafeng only knew that this kind old man was amiable, and he also took care of himself in the past, so he was a little close, and Jiafeng greeted the old man: "Third master, sit down and ......"

"Xiaofeng, are you in high school? Yes, do you know what the terrain is? ”

I can't imagine that the third master is not an ordinary old man, and he is full of knowledge? Jiafeng hurriedly carried a stool, brought water, and prepared to ask the third master for advice.

The third master is extraordinary: "Acha Fu Village is a feng shui treasure selected by the ancestors, with a tiger standing on the dragon plate, and outstanding people...... At this door of your house, sooner or later there will be nobles! ”

"Third master, thanks to your high opinion, how can there be any talent? In this life, as long as you can find a comfortable job, you can live a good life, and you have never had the luxury of getting rich. Jiafeng looked modest.

The third master sat down, took a sip of water, and said slowly: "Do you remember the time you were humiliated by the fat man in the broken temple? I remember it very well. ”

"Third master, I was still young at that time and I was not sensible, so I made the third master smile." Jiafeng looked ashamed, feeling that the past was really ridiculous.

"No, I found out that you are not a simple child, you are still young, and there are indeed many things that are not clear, and there is a great character in the ruined temple by the river...... Does Wen Cui Gong know? ”

There is nothing I don't know about the ten miles and eight towns in the past, grandpa and dad often chatter, and occasionally use it to educate their children.

According to legend, Wen Cui Gong is a celebrity of the last few generations, extremely smart, once held a great official position, most of the old residence in the village is left by his hands, stretching for several miles, if there are descendants to live, repair, manage, no less than another southern "Qiao family compound".

It's a pity that although the descendants of Wen Cui Gong are famous, they don't have the opportunity to see them.

Old pedant! Jiafeng couldn't help but beg the third master to tell him more and absorb the nutrition of the glorious history of the local area.

The third master said that the third master is also a close relative of Wen Cuigong, the ancestor of the third master and the common ancestor of Wen Cuigong back then was an ordinary tenant who lived by working part-time jobs; After Wen Cuigong made his career, the family became a prominent family in the local area, and his ancestors were also important and respected figures.

By the time of the third master's brother's generation, it has been defeated, only the eldest brother of the third master is okay, with scattered branches and leaves, many people, and several sons born are all farming at home, such as the fierceness and brute strength of the fat uncle, that is, relying on the many brothers in the family.

The tiger father has no dogs, the son of the fat uncle, the piglets are not afraid of the sky and the earth, and they went to the south before graduating from junior high school and created a family business.

What about the third master? There is no child under the knee, the wife has long passed away, Jiafeng has never seen, it seems that the third master is also a hard-working person, I heard the people in the village say, one day the third master lifted a hoe, digging roots under the plane tree near the archway.

Didn't the third master know that there was a god three feet above his head, so he went to touch the sacred tree? With the third master's erudition, is it impossible?

"Third master, I heard that you dug the roots of the sycamore tree, and the roots of the tree are bleeding, is there really such a miraculous thing?" Jiafeng is ready to learn the truth from the third master today, and the people in the village said that a hoe goes down, the roots of the tree are bleeding, the third master's house is on fire, and his wife and children are gone.

The third master looked up to the sky and sighed, and said slowly: "Alas! …… This is fate, fate is not up to others! Don't say it! ”

When it was freezing and his wife was waiting to give birth at home, he was going to pick up some dead branches and leaves around the sacred tree.

Picking up firewood, used to make a fire for cooking, heating, this is a common thing, coincidentally, go back to the stove of the fire burned, it turned out that the wife had a difficult birth, with the passage of time, the saying that has been passed down to this day, it turned out that the third master offended the living beings, and led the sky to descend on the fire, so the third master is still alone.

Since then, the third master has never married, no children and no daughters, but the third master has some culture since he was a child, knows a lot of knowledge, and he is indispensable for weddings and funerals in the countryside, building houses and repairing tombs.

Isn't this commonly known as "Mr. Feng Shui"?

Don't underestimate these masters, they are one of the few rural intellectuals of the older generation, and they are indispensable to the inheritance of certain morals and etiquette, which also improves the life of the third master a lot, everyone has his way of life, and others can't simply comment on it.

"Third master, I understand, you should acquiesce to other people's myths about you, great wisdom!" Jiafeng seems to understand whether he understands or not, thinking that the third master is a professional need, and he remains silent about his experience, even if he is false.

"In the world, there are red and white, and red and white are indisputable." The third master changed the topic and said about the broken temple, "Wen Cuigong's mother gave birth to him in the broken temple back then, and he is not still rich and rich!" ”

According to the description of the third master, because of the poverty of the family, Wen Cuigong was born in the broken temple by his mother, which was not a temple at that time, but a grass shed, similar to Du Fu's thatched cottage, indicating the embarrassment of the family.

Jiafeng's heart palpitated for a while, and the occasional night stay in the broken temple was only regarded as an unintentional move, which was not worth mentioning compared with the life experience of Wen Cui Gong described in the mouth of the third master.

What does this have to do with Jiafeng? Times are different.

Yes, who would have thought what the future would bring? It's just that before the third master left, he looked at the archway in the distance, looked back at the door of Jiafeng's house, shook his head, and said to himself: "Is this too right, I'm afraid it's a crime...... Who lives on the right? Male left, female right, left green dragon, right white tiger...... I'm afraid I'm going to have to toss? ”

Jiafeng didn't understand these profound knowledge, and watched the third master who kept muttering going away.
