The Scourge of Witchcraft Chapter 4 Returning Home for the New Year
After lunch, we chatted for a while, and it was close to evening, Huang Yueling got up and patted her buttocks, and said, "Okay, nephew, we should go back!" ”
When Long Quan heard this, he immediately stood up, "Mr. Qiu, Brother He, I have also bothered you for so many days, and I have also seen the sword, I think it is time to leave, Chen Fangyuan, this old boy has no news, I dare not delay any longer." ”
I felt a little guilty that I shouldn't have hidden it from him, but when I think about it, I have to hide it from him, otherwise, I don't know which direction things will go.
"Well, when are you going to leave?" I asked.
"Tomorrow, I'll have to leave early tomorrow morning."
"Where are you going?"
Long Quan shook his head, "I don't know, it's okay to go anywhere." ”
"Hey, okay, contact me often when the time comes, and if you need anything, just ask."
To be honest, I'm a little reluctant to let Long Quan leave, but I also know that this meeting is by no means the last, and Long Quan and I will meet sooner or later.
After coming out of the hotel, Huang Yueling and I walked all the way back to my grandmother's house.
When my grandmother saw me, she first asked me about my body, and after learning that I was in good health, she counted me down again, saying that I shouldn't have decided to drink the medicine and still eat Haisai like this, and said that even if I don't think about myself, I should think about my parents.
Judging from my grandmother's words, she shouldn't have known about my meeting with Chen Fangyuan, so my hanging heart suddenly relaxed.
After settling down, I stayed at my grandmother's house honestly for more than two months, and during these two months, I still practiced with Huang Yueling morning and evening, and I had to learn runes, runes and other knowledge from my grandmother every day.
In fact, after such a long period of contact, my knowledge in this area is no longer comparable to that of the year, for example, after entering the world of the dead at Chen Fangyuan last time, the rune seems to be engraved in my mind, I clearly know which rune should be read, what it means, and what role it plays, but I don't want to tell my grandmother about it, so I had to listen to my grandmother explain these things I originally knew to me again.
But what my grandmother said about corpse chasers was very useful to me, and after all these days of teaching, I have almost digested the entire Chenzhou rune book.
However, my grandmother also said that although I know the function of each rune on the rune book, the combination of these runes has unexpected effects, and she said that she doesn't know much about the method of combining runes, and I need to explore it myself.
I said in my heart that this is not a corpse chaser school, where are so many living corpses for me to grope for?
Anyway, in general, after spending so much time with my grandmother, I finally understand how corpse chasers work!
In addition, the company has also gained something, Qiu Yan said that Xiang Wei has met with Mr. Li a few times, saying that Xiang Wei has a lot of intention to seek cooperation, and if there is no accident, he may sign a contract before the year.
I told Qiu Yan that I would return the company to her after the matter was completed, Qiu Yan pursed her lips and said: "I haven't spent a dime on your company, even if you want to return it to me, your grandmother will not agree, and don't forget, this company still has so many shareholders, they all help for the face of the Jiang family in Dongting Lake, don't let down their kindness!" ”
To be honest, I didn't have any interest in managing a company, and my biggest dream in life was to drop a lot of money and use it to travel the world.
And Qiu Yan is right, this company was established by those people who looked at the face of my grandmother, and it has almost nothing to do with me, not to mention that I don't have any management experience, so I have always thought that this company is not mine.
"Then you will be the CEO and have full authority to manage the company, this can always be done!" When I said this to Qiu Yan, Qiu Yan neither agreed nor objected, and immediately changed the topic elsewhere.
In this way, the time is about to come to the end of the year, my mother made a few calls to ask me when I would go home, I thought to myself that my grandmother's side is her and Huang Yueling, and Qiu Yan's family has also gone back to Singapore, so I want to invite them all back for the New Year.
However, her grandmother said that she and Yue Ling'er were used to the New Year, and she was not willing to spend the night at someone else's house, so she refused, and Qiu Yan also said that she had to go back to Singapore, she said that it was the first New Year after her father's death, and she had to go back to accompany her mother.
I couldn't argue with the reasons of either person, so I went home just over ten days before the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
After coming out for a whole year, the feeling of coming home is very fresh, I now have money and experience, and when I sit in the car and watch the familiar scenes pass by in front of my eyes, I am full of emotion.
My mom always said that I don't want to make trouble outside, she told me to be sensible, in her eyes, I was still the bastard boy who was running around the yard with a broom, and I said in my heart that if I told her everything I had experienced this year, she might be scared to death by me.
When I stood at the door of the familiar house with a big bag and a small bag, I saw my dad rarely show a smile when I came home, "Well, stinky boy, it's dark, and it's thin, how is it?" Is the whipping of society pleasant? ”
I walked into the house with a smile to my dad, and immediately saw my mom running out calling my name, "Oh, Zimu, come home!" Oops, why are you so thin? Is it okay to not eat outside? How's the work? Is it hard? Didn't you make trouble for Qiu Yan, right? By the way, what about Qiu Yan? How far have you two got? Why don't you bring her back for the New Year? ”
Still a familiar voice, or a familiar nag, I shook my head helplessly, and said in my heart that I have grown a lot, but why hasn't my mother changed at all?
After resting at home for two days, my mother began to take me around to relatives, and in her opinion, no matter what I was doing outside, it would be good to be able to go home with a large bag of gifts for the New Year.
Of course, we also went to my grandmother's house, and my grandmother still prepared juice and all kinds of meat for me as always, in addition to myself, my grandmother asked the most about my grandmother, she said that after she married into the Huang family, she had never seen my grandmother, but from time to time I heard it in my grandfather's mouth.
And my grandfather is still the same, most of the time confused, and the few times when he is sober is almost a flash, I say in my heart that if my grandfather is sober, I have a lot to say to him, I think in my heart when I tell my grandfather about my experience when my proud look and grandfather's face of envy.
After a few days, my mother's novelty passed, and I finally got my own time, and during this time, what I wanted to see most was my master, Lao Lintou, and Da Li.
I asked my dad to ask, and he said that after I left, the ranger recruited a new one, and the newly recruited ranger happened to be on rotation these days, that is, there were only old forest heads and big Li on the mountain.
I told my dad that I wanted to go up the mountain to see them, and my dad looked at me with relief, patted me on the shoulder and said, "Yes, the stinky boy has grown up, you should go and see them, by the way, I still have a bottle of good wine there, bring it to your master." ”
I nodded, went back to the house to clean up, and then set off with the gifts I bought for Lao Lin Tou and Da Li.
Now is the time when the heavy snow closes the mountain, every year at this time, Lin Feng Farm is shrouded in a thick layer of snow, in fact, Lin Feng Farm at this time is the most beautiful, but because of the heavy snow to close the mountain, those tourists who want to see the beautiful scenery can not come up.
In the past, if you want to go to the lookout, you have to drive a car with a chain on it, but today I want to walk up, I want to go up from Dong'ergou, I want to see the big bluestone, and I want to see the stone monument next to the big bluestone.
Snow, perhaps the most hypocritical of things, seems to make the whole world white and immaculate under its cover, but when the snow fades, the ugly, filthy things are revealed.
I stood on the road and looked up along the cave ditch, feeling so strange, because the temperature is low in winter, the mist that has been shrouded in the ditch all year round has disappeared, replaced by a white picture like a fairyland, looking at this landscape painting-like picture, I can't imagine that so many things have happened here.
I stood on the road and watched for a while, then walked towards the mountain.
When I walked to the big bluestone, I knelt down, and then lit three sticks of incense in front of the stone tablet, no matter what the past of the person buried under this is, he is my ancestor, and it is he who opened a new chapter in my life.
After worshipping Da Qingshi, I bowed three times to the snow-covered grave on the other side, he was a murderer, but after he died, his debt was paid off.
Finally, I climbed from Dong'ergou to the Hongqiwan Reservoir, and now, more than 10 centimeters of ice has formed on the water surface of the reservoir, and I can walk directly from the water without detouring.
As I was about to reach the other side, I saw several holes in the ice, and there were cigarette butts scattered next to them.
Needless to say, this must be Da Li's masterpiece, he said when I was on duty with him before, he said that when winter comes, he will take me to the reservoir ice fishing, he said that the fish at this time are the cleanest, and they can even eat alive directly.
I looked at the ice cave and smiled, then continued walking.
Once ashore, there was a flat land, and this was where Qiu Yan and I first met, and if I hadn't found the fire that day, maybe I would have missed Qiu Yan, maybe I would have missed all that I had experienced.
That's what happened, as if everything happened by chance, but then you feel like it's all predestined, as if we really have an omnipotent Creator in our heads, and everything we go through is arranged by Him.
I walked on the familiar path, watching the lookout approach little by little, I couldn't hide my excitement, I thought to myself that when I left, Da Li also wiped his tears, and now how excited he should be to meet him again, and the old Lin Tou, it is estimated that he will pretend to count me down first, and then force Da Li to take out all the mountain goods he hid.
Sure enough, when I knocked on the wooden door, Da Li saw that I was stunned for a while, and then he carried me into the house with a bear hug, and the old man looked at me with a dry tobacco pouch and smiled at me and played with him for a while, and then ordered us to stop.
Da Li and I excitedly shared everything we had experienced during the year, Lao Lin Tou sat aside and listened silently, and the most exciting news Da Li said was that his family told him a partner, and he would get married after the New Year, and he asked me to stay and eat no matter what.
I didn't dare to tell all my experiences, because there were many things that Da Li didn't know, and he couldn't understand them, so I planned to wait for Da Li to fall asleep at night and then talk to Lao Lintou.
And when I talked about my grandmother, Lao Lin Tou suddenly asked in surprise, "What did you say?" She's alive? ”
I was shocked, if it weren't for this meeting in the provincial capital, my family would have almost forgotten about this distant relative, but listening to the meaning of Lao Lintou, he seemed to know my grandmother!
