Chapter 8: The Dragon-Shaped Jade Ring
My parents came to the courtyard and stood opposite Chen Jidao.
Chen Jidao took off the leaves that had been blown into his hair by the wind just now, and said to my father in an extremely serious tone: "Go, bring me an axe." ”
My dad answered, he didn't care what Chen Jidao wanted to do with the axe, the current Chen Jidao was in his eyes, that was a fairy figure.
A long time later, my father mentioned this sentence to me during a drink: I will never forget that day for the rest of my life, Master Chen is really like a fairy......
My parents are not educated, they can't find any adjectives, but in this day, my parents' psychological endurance has been completely honed by my master, and it is already very strong.
Or rather, they're no longer surprised......
"Brother Chen, are you going to use an axe to cut down ghosts?"
My dad came out with an axe from the corner of the yard.
People in the village go up to the mountains every day to chop wood, and it's not surprising that they have axes at home.
Chen Jidao glanced at my father, then took the axe and said in my dialect: "Foolish head, ghosts are disembodied things, can they be cut with an axe?" ”
"Hey, hey!" My dad wasn't annoyed, he touched his head, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Then do you want an axe?" (What does it mean)"
"Chop down trees."
Chen Jidao scraped the blade of the axe with his fingers, looking quite sharp, and then turned to face the locust tree. Without saying anything, his hand was raised, his legs and waist were forced, and the axe slashed towards the locust tree.
It is impossible to break the trunk of a tree that can only be formed by two adults holding each other together with a small axe for chopping wood. And Chen Jidao's purpose is not really to cut down this tree.
Chen Jidao split a few times in a row, and easily split the trunk out of a hole the size of his head.
My parents came up and looked, good fellow, it turns out that half of the trunk of this tree is empty, no wonder this tree always looks half-dead!
"Gui Fang, in the dream you have been having, is there someone in front of you who got into this locust tree?" Chen Jidao gave the axe to my father, and then said to my mother.
My mother frowned, recalled for a while, and said, "The first dream is a kind of (this kind of meaning), but the second dream and the third dream are drilling into my stomach. ”
My mom remembers only the dream, but also the pain of burrowing her stomach. The body couldn't stop trembling, and as if he was talking, his stomach really seemed to have something in it, and there was a faint pain.
And while my mother was talking, Chen Jidao put a hand into the hole and groped for something.
After a while, I took something out of the hole, wiped it on his torn and dirty vest, and brought it to my parents.
"That's it!"
My dad took the thing in Chen Jidao's hand, this is a piece of jade!
Chen Jidao pointed to the jade in my father's hand and said, "Gui Fang, your dream came from this. The first dream is that it tells you that there is something in the locust tree. The second dream and the third dream ......"
Chen Jidao pondered for a while, as if he was talking to his parents, and as if he was talking to himself: "I'm afraid that this thing was born in a hurry, and the aura it exudes attracts ghosts...... It doesn't matter, I'll drive it away later! ”
Chen Jidao continued: "The dream you have and the matter of Old Man Zheng's family are two different things. Now take it out and you won't have this dream anymore. ”
After hearing this, my mother hurriedly took the jade from my father's hand, carefully held it in her hand, and looked at it carefully.
It is still too general to describe it as jade, but in fact it is a dragon-shaped jade ring.
The whole body of the jade ring is clear dark green, the style is simple, the curly dragon shape, the dragon opens its mouth and shows its teeth, the back is decorated with ridges, and the dragon body is decorated with the cloud and thunder pattern.
My parents don't know about antiques, cultural relics and the like, but they know jade, and when they see this dragon-shaped jade ring, their first impression is that it is very old.
"Brother Chen, why is there this thing in my tree? You just said that I dreamed because of it? My mother asked after returning the dragon-shaped jade ring to Chen Jidao.
Chen Jidao didn't answer, he just took the dragon-shaped jade ring, looked at it, his eyes gradually deepened, as if he was recalling something.
It wasn't until my mother shouted "Brother Chen" a few times that Chen Jidao came back to his senses and said: "You don't have to know the origin of this thing, all I can say is that this dragon-shaped jade ring is your son's!" As for why it can make you dream, think of it as your son urging you to give birth soon. ”
This is very mysterious, a piece of Yuhuan that has been in his own tree for many years is actually his newborn son? Not only was my dad confused, but even my mom, who was so active, didn't understand what he meant.
But after this short period of contact, my parents knew the way Chen Jidao spoke, so they could only look at each other and smile bitterly, and did not ask any questions.
On the other hand, Chen Jidao fell silent after saying this, and kept looking at the dragon-shaped jade ring in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking......
Seeing Chen Jidao like this, my parents didn't bother. The two turned around and walked to the kitchen, ready for dinner, leaving Chen Jidao alone in the courtyard in a daze with the dragon-shaped jade ring......
That night, when my parents brought the dishes to the table one by one, they called Chen Jidao from the courtyard.
"What's this?!"
"What's this?!"
After coming in, Chen Jidao took chopsticks in each plate, flipped it left and poked it right.
Finally, he put down his chopsticks, didn't say a word, lifted his feet and walked out. My dad hurriedly stopped him and asked, "Brother Chen, where are you going to cut this black one?" (Meaning of where are you going)"
Chen Jidao turned around and yelled at my father, "That's it? The meat is not much bigger than the boogers! Just that old hen, so old that I can't even bite it! Where to? I'm going to eat in town! ”
Yes, my family is poor, and the dishes my parents usually eat are vegetarian dishes, which is great to cut into dices of meat, or because my father does hard work, so he uses it to replenish his strength.
In such an environment, my parents are reluctant to waste the old hen used to stew soup at noon, and eat it at night when it is hot.
My dad thought that Brother Chen would come to eat and make a rich one today, so the meat in each dish was cut bigger than usual, and he also took out the wine.
You know, that wine is still the wine that my parents used when they got married and held a banquet in the village, and my father himself was reluctant to drink it on weekdays.
Today is a rare "luxury" in my family.
But at this point, Chen Jidao was also very dissatisfied and clamored to go to the town.
On this big night, there was no electricity in the village at that time, how could my parents let him go?
So my dad finally pressed Chen Jidao to the dining table, turned around and walked to the kitchen, gritted his teeth, cut the rest of the meat, and made a bowl of braised pork and brought it up.
Why did my parents suddenly be so good to Chen Jidao?
That's because my parents know that Chen Jidao is a really capable person, and he is not a "god stick" he behaves.
Take the incident in the yard in the afternoon, can the "god stick" know that there is something in the tree in his yard? Can the "Divine Stick" have that kind of immortal aura?
My parents have never seen the world, but that doesn't stop them from being smart, they can think of it.
As soon as the braised pork was served on the table, my dad poured a glass of wine for Chen Jidao, poured a glass himself, and then said: "Brother Chen, there are still some meat tickets at home, and I will go to the countryside tomorrow to change them. ”
While my dad was talking, Chen Jidao put the meat in his mouth as soon as he grabbed the chopsticks.
Such a big piece of meat, it's still fresh out of the pot, and he's not too hot!
Chen Jidao's mouth was stuffed with hot meat, and he couldn't speak, so he raised his wine glass and touched it with my dad after waving his hand again and again, and sucked it into his mouth with a "snort" sound, and swallowed it with the meat.
At this time, my mother came out of the house with an empty bowl, and my mother went to feed me "nutrition".
My mother said, "Brother Chen, we haven't named a child yet." Lao Zhang and I don't have much culture, do you name your child? ”
"It's good to wake up early." Chen Jidao said without raising his head.
"Zhang Zhengyi!"
