Father Liu came to the half-immortal Liu Wenxi's house early in the morning and wanted him to calculate a hexagram to set the day when Liu Renzhang got married.

"Wenxi, are you at home?" After knocking on the door for a long time, there was no movement in the yard, and the door was not locked, Father Liu muttered in his heart, where did Wenxi's family go this early in the morning? He pushed the door open and walked straight inside.

Liu Wenxi is blind, married a daughter-in-law Han Qiuju is also blind, the daughter is called Liu Daai, and the son is called Liu Xiaozhang, and neither of the children went to school.

Daddy Liu entered the hall and found that the pots and pans were cleanly washed, the bedding on the kang was neatly folded, and the inside and outside were neatly and orderly.

"Hey, is Wenxi back?" Hearing someone shouting, Father Liu walked from the hall to the courtyard, only to see Liu Wenting standing on the edge of the courtyard wall, this courtyard wall is an earthen wall made of yellow mud, very low, and most of Liu Wenting's body is exposed on the courtyard wall.

"Brother De, it's you, I thought Wenxi was back."

"Wenxi's family is out?"

"That's the case, Brother De, Daqian Tianwen is happy to take his wife and children to his father-in-law's house."

"This is not a year, what are you going to do?"

"Wen Xizhang's family is doing a happy event, his brother-in-law Han Chunzhu is married, just such a brother-in-law can not care, I have been going for two whole days, before leaving, I said that I would come back today, I am thinking about going to Liuhe Beach after breakfast, maybe I can pick them up."

"Wen Ting, this is a good idea, you hurry up and eat, after eating, let's go to Liuhe Beach together to pick up, it's freezing this day, it's too inconvenient for Wen Xi's family to travel."

After Daddy Liu finished speaking, he walked into the hall again, thinking that it was such a cold day, burn firewood for the stove, and the children would be warmer when they came back, so he scooped a few scoops of water from the water tank and added them to the pot, and pulled the bellows to light the fire.

Liu Wenxi is three years younger than Daddy Liu, he is a good friend who has played since he was a child, Liu Wenxi was born blind, Daddy Liu took special care of him, when he was young, because Liu Wenxi was bullied, he fought with others, after Liu Wenxi's parents died one after another, Liu Wenxi was almost thirty years old or a single, his father Liu Mingzu held Daddy Liu's hand tightly before he died, his eyes were wide open, and his mouth was open without taking his last breath, Daddy Liu understood that the old man could not rest assured that Liu Wenxi, he leaned over and said solemnly in Liu Mingzu's ear, " Uncle Mingzu, you can go with confidence! I am the patriarch of the Liu clan and the eldest brother of Wenxi, I will take care of him for you, help him marry a wife and have children, and give your old Liu family a successor! Liu Mingzu closed his eyes at this time, and two large tears flowed out of his eye sockets.

Later, Daddy Liu paid to lead the villagers to tear down the thatched house of Liu Wenxi's house and rebuild it, and with a new house, he began to marry Zhang Luo to his daughter-in-law, someone introduced Liu Wenxi to Han Qiuju in Madian Village, Hexi, Qiu Ju was also blind since childhood, her father Han Wenbai was particularly fond of her, when she was a teenager, she was sent to a gentleman who taught Braille in Huang County to learn Braille. Until Daddy Liu came to the door to protect Liu Wenxi's media, Han Wenbai agreed, he understood Daddy Liu's personality, with him to protect the media, Liu Wenxi's character and ability are not bad, Wenxi and Qiu Ju were able to tie the knot, after the two got married, although the life was not rich, but they respected each other, willing to eat, Qiu Ju also taught Wenxi Braille, Wenxi liked divination since he was a child, Qiu Ju asked someone to buy a braille version of "Zhou Yi" for him to study, Wenxi soon became proficient in arithmetic such as batch eight characters, six lines, touching bones, etc., and ten calculations are nine accurate, Gradually, he became famous, and became a well-known 'Liu Banxian', who did red and white affairs, children were lost, the elderly were sick, etc., all looked for him to count a hexagram, and even those dignitaries in the county often sent people to take Liu Wenxi to the house to ask about things.

The water in the pot was boiling, and Daddy Liu found a warm pot to fill it with boiling water, and did not forget to lay out the bedding on the kang and put it on the kang.

"Wow, it's so much warmer in the house." With the sound of talking, Liu Wenting walked in.

"Brother De, you are really good to Wen Xi, much better than my cousin."

"Wen Ting, I only come over occasionally to help, you are the great benefactor of the Wen Xi family, thanks to you all these years, you have not been less worried and hard working inside and out, let's go, let's go to Liuhe Beach now, Wen Xi They should have rushed home after breakfast."

Along the way, Daddy Liu and Liu Wenting chatted about family life in a shallow sentence, Liu Wenting sincerely admired Daddy Liu, he said Brother De, how many good deeds did Wenxi did in his previous life, and he was fortunate to get to know you in this life, if there was no you, how could he have a good life today, you are a great nobleman of Wenxi. Of course, you take good care of the families in trouble in the village, such as Liu Laocai, speaking of Liu Wenhua, Liu Wenting first looked around, and after confirming that no one was eavesdropping, he lowered his voice and continued, many villagers, especially our Liu clan relatives, know that Brother Wenhua is a good person, but everyone dare not communicate with him, let alone help, Wen Xi and I both know that Brother De You have been secretly helping Brother Wenhua, don't talk far, let's just say last month, the county working group came to the village to squat, and the people in the working group all live in the Liu family compound, But I don't know the relationship between you and Liu Wenhua, they are bent on following Liu Kuizhang's instructions, ruthlessly rectifying Liu Wenhua, letting Liu Wenhua sweep the streets and dig out the dung pit every day, and what is even more out of line is to let Liu Wenhua wear a white hat to parade around the streets, for this reason you quarreled with Shao Zhengping, the leader of the working group, what you said was heard, reasonable, powerful, of course, the etiquette was not well controlled, you kicked Shao Zhengping in public, and in the end, the working group did not stay in Shuangliu Village for two days, and ran back to the county seat in disgrace, why? After Shao Zhengping was kicked out of the Liu family's compound by you, he thought that there would be a lot of people who patted him on the back, and he would rush to invite them home, but what happened? They eat behind closed doors everywhere, including Zhang Lu, his grandson Zhang Shibao is a big celebrity in front of Liu Kuizhang, Zhang Lu doesn't know how important it is to win over the working group to his grandson? But Zhang Lu insisted on releasing cruel words, saying that the village chief did not welcome the Zhang family and the Zhang family would never take them in, through this incident, the villagers all gave you a thumbs up, and praised the old man Zhang Lu, the people of Shuangliu Village know that as long as you are there, the sky of our Shuangliu Village will not fall, and you are the Dinghai God Needle of our Shuangliu Village......

Daddy Liu listened absentmindedly, and did not speak, all the people surnamed Liu in Shuangliu Village were originally of the same root and origin, the genealogy of the ancestral hall in the village clearly wrote the branches from generation to generation, he was the patriarch for many years, and naturally responded to all calls, the surname Wang and Zhang in the village are all outsiders, and the population is also very small, in Jiaodong, villages with such a strong clan consciousness like Shuangliu Village should be said to be rare, and it can also be said to be unique, Liang Qichao fled to Tianjin first after the failure of the Wuxu Reform, Later, he came from Tianjin to live in seclusion in the Liujia compound for a period of time, during which he wrote a miscellaneous poem "Go to the Country", "the road ahead of Pengshan is 10,000 heavy, turn around and ignore my east ......" also inscribed the archway at the entrance of the village, he left the Liujia compound and went to Qingdao, from Qingdao to Japan for refuge, Liang Qichao left the Liujia compound when he sighed to his disciple Liu Yanzu, "The hundred-year-old willow of Shuangliu Village, sheltering the descendants of the Liu family with deep roots and lush leaves, long-lasting prosperity, the Liujia compound is in the same vein, and the fortitude and compassion do not lose the ancient style, In the north, especially in Jiaodong, which is impregnated with Shanghai-style culture, it is rare to have such an ancient village. ”

Daddy Liu was thinking about his thoughts while walking, and he didn't pay attention to Liu Wenting, Liu Wenting saw Daddy Liu's listless appearance, and he lost the interest in talking, he then remembered that Daddy Liu hated the person who chewed the root of his tongue behind his back the most, he regretted his recklessness just now, in order to break the embarrassment, he pretended to be relaxed and asked Daddy Liu, "Brother De, can Wenxi, a half-immortal, count our brothers to pick up his family?" ”

Father Liu laughed when he heard this, although he didn't speak, this laughed, and Liu Wenting's worry and embarrassment just now were all gone.

"Help, help!" Suddenly there was a woman's screaming cry for help in the direction of Liuhetan, and the child's crying was faintly heard, Daddy Liu and Liu Wenting shouted at the same time that it was not good, and ran towards Liuhetan, as soon as Daddy Liu came out of the woods across the river beach and saw Qiu Ju kneeling on the ice from a distance, and there were two panicked children, Daddy Liu walked like a fly, ran to the river in the blink of an eye, and shouted loudly, "Brother and sister, don't be afraid, don't move when you lie in place, great love, you take Xiaozhang to the shore first, I will jump into the river to save your father." ”

Da Ai saw Daddy Liu like seeing a savior, crying and saying, "Uncle, my father has fallen into the ice cave for a while, you have to save him!" ”

Daddy Liu didn't speak again, he was eager to save people, and he jumped into the ice cave without taking off his cotton clothes, Liu Wenxi floated under the ice, and was so frozen that he was unconscious, at this time Liu Wenting also rushed over, he asked Daai to lead Qiu Ju to the shore, and knelt on the edge of the hole, Daddy Liu lifted Liu Wenxi to the ice with both hands, Liu Wenting took Liu Wenxi with both hands, and then reached out to pull Daddy Liu, "Wenting, if you pull me like this, not only can't you save me, but even you will fall, I can go ashore by myself, you carry Wenxi to the shore first." Liu Wenting had no choice but to hold Wen Xi ashore, Daddy Liu pressed the edge of the hole with both hands, the ice collapsed a large piece, and the person also fell, Daddy Liu was burly, plus the cotton clothes and pants were all water, and it was a lot heavier, the ice could not support his weight at all, Liu Wenting was so anxious on the shore that tears flowed out, Qiu Ju continued to shout for help, while letting Da Ai run back to the village to call people, Daddy Liu saw that this was not working, so he changed his strategy, he took off his cotton pants and jacket in the water, and hit the ice with his fists, the hole became bigger and bigger, I swam more than ten meters to the shore like this, and when I reached the shallow water, I was able to land my feet, and I pressed my elbows on the ice, and my feet rushed out of the water.
