Zhang Feng's family lives on the fifth floor of a small property unit on the outskirts of the city, and from the outside it does not look like a wealthy family.

I entered the door, looked up and down the room in the hallway, and followed Zhang Feng into the living room.

The house feels very damp, with a salty smell in the air, and the occasional wind that makes people shiver.

I frowned slightly and asked Zhang Feng, "Was this house a new house when I bought it?" ”

Zhang Feng nodded and replied, "The house we bought when we got married is a new house. ”

I looked down for a moment and asked, "Did any of our ancestors die in this house?" ”

Zhang Feng replied: "No, my parents have an ancestral house in the countryside, and my grandparents passed away there. ”

I nodded, got up and walked to the balcony, opened the window and looked down, and then turned back and asked, "Is this kind of house privately developed?" ”

Zhang Feng followed me back: "Yes, this kind of house is basically the homestead of nearby villagers, and then developed and built, without a real estate certificate. ”

I closed the window, looked back at the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva enshrined in the living room lattice, and asked, "Is this Guanyin Bodhisattva invited by Onmyoji for you?" ”

Zhang Feng replied: "No, when we were seeing a doctor, we saw someone selling this, and Jin Ling thought it was very beautiful at that time, so she bought it back and offered it." ”

After a pause, he asked, "What are the rules for this?" Did we collide with something? ”

"Where are the rules for offering to the Bodhisattva," I smiled, "I see that the incense in the incense burner is a sign of fresh burning, and it seems that you are quite religious." ”

Zhang Feng let out a sigh of relief and said: "In the past few years, we have basically thought of any method, not to mention worshipping Guanyin Bodhisattva, if I can have a child, I am willing to live ten years less." ”

"Master, you don't know," Jin Ling also got up and whimpered: "There are no children, every time we go back to the countryside, we are blinded." ”

"Anyway, I also graduated from a bachelor's degree, but I was always ridiculed by the illiterate three aunts and six mothers-in-law in the countryside as a chicken that couldn't lay eggs, and I couldn't even raise my head with my parents-in-law."

After a pause, he said: "At the beginning, we were all people who had a career in our own industry, but now for the sake of our children, our careers are gone, we dare not go back to our hometown, and I can't go back to my mother's home, and my own home is about to be made into a wall." ”

Zhang Feng walked over and stroked Jin Ling's back and patted me gently, looking at me expectantly.

I probed in my heart, when will the feudal dross be completely abandoned.

Jin Ling took out a tissue and wiped the corners of her eyes, and when he finished wiping it, I asked, "Do the other residents of this building have children?" ”

"Yes," Zhang Feng replied, "every time we see people shouting to the children in the yard to eat, we are very envious." ”

Hearing this, I stopped talking, took out a talisman and turned it in front of the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and said, "Take me to each room first." ”

Zhang Feng made a gesture of please, and I quickly stood up.

It's an ordinary three-bedroom house, and there's not much furnishings in the house, but it's clean and organized.

There were no problems with the master and second bedrooms, and the room was used as a study and utility room.

In addition to some miscellaneous items in life, there are also baby cots, walkers, and some baby toys.

I pointed to the stroller and asked, "You don't have children, why do you still have this?" ”

Zhang Feng replied: "When I was pregnant, I was about to give birth, so we prepared this, and other walkers and the like were given by friends. Later, the child was gone, and we thought that we would still be able to use it when we had a child, so we kept it like this. ”

"It's all burned," I said, "the child is gone, and this thing is now equivalent to a dead ghost, and with these things here, where would anyone dare to come to your house to be reincarnated." ”

Zhang Feng nodded hurriedly, ready to move the crib out.

I waved my hand and said, "Wait a minute," I turned my head to look at Jin Ling's stomach and asked, "Earlier you said that you felt something pressing down on your stomach at night at night?" ”

"Do you feel like this every day? Or is it intermittent? ”

Jin Ling said: "Every day, like a small cotton bag pressed on the stomach. I don't feel uncomfortable, but I can really feel the pressure. ”

I pondered for a while, then looked at the crib and said, "The Yang Mansion has finished reading, drag these to burn, let's go to see your family's ancestral grave by the way." ”

On the way, I remembered to ask Zhang Feng: "Do you know where the ancestral grave is?" ”

Zhang Feng lost the haze in the house, smiled and said: "For the sake of the child, I almost broke the stones in front of the ancestral grave, how could I not know the place." ”

After that, he asked rhetorically: "Mr. Feng, do you want to go back to my ancestral house to have a look?" I'll give my parents a call. ”

I shook my head: "No, you have already started a new family, as long as your father is alive, nothing happens to the ancestral house will be reflected on you." ”

Under Zhang Feng's guidance, the car arrived around a large area of fields.

There was a dirt road ahead, so we couldn't get in, so we had to walk in.

Zhang Feng pointed to a piece of poplar forest and said, "That piece is the cemetery of the village, and the ancestral grave is there. ”

Through the poplar forest, you can vaguely see a piece of crooked stone monuments.

Zhang Feng led the way, walked a short dirt road, then turned the ridge, passed through the poplar forest, and arrived at the cemetery.

The cemetery in the countryside is not as clean and tidy as the cemetery in the city.

Some tombs are simply built with a turn, some have a better home environment, buy the kind of pavilions and pavilions that are poured in place, and some are simply a mound of earth, and there is not even a monument.

And most of the monuments are a huge stone, inserted in the ground in front of the tomb, and after a long time, because of the movement of the earth, it has become crooked like a sick person crooked in front of the tomb.

The rocks are surrounded by dry weeds, which adds to the gloom in the early winter.

I took a look at the content on the stele at random, and it was basically the tomb of the old man Zhang and the old man.

It appears that this village, like most rural villages in the south, lives in groups with surnames.

Zhang Feng took me to a brick grave, pointed to the tombstone and said, "Mr. Feng, this is my grandfather's tomb." Earlier, my grandfather's grave was not even known to my father. ”

I nodded, looked at the tombstone, and like the others, it was also a little crooked, and said, "Why don't you hold the tombstone crooked like this?" ”

Zhang Feng smiled bitterly and said: "This cemetery is changed from the fields in the village, our land is all sandy, the crops are good, and the tombstone can't stand steadily,"

He waved his hand casually and said, "Look, which tablet here is not crooked?" In the first two years, I helped it, but then I saw that it was crooked again, so I simply stopped helping. ”

I pushed the tombstone twice and said, "If someone else's family is fine, you don't have to help, but if your family has something, you have to straighten the tombstone." ”

"It doesn't have to be related to the tombstone, but it also requires peace of mind. If the gate of your ancestral house is crooked like this, you can live there. ”

Zhang Feng nodded hurriedly and said, "Help immediately, help immediately." ”

I walked behind the tombstone and looked at the tombstone, the tiles were neatly covered, and the cement on all sides was also very good.

I reached out and shook it a few times, but it didn't move.

Looking around the tomb, although there are some weeds, it does not hinder the view of the tomb.

I walked behind the tomb and looked at the sun, comparing the direction of the whole tomb, and there was no problem.

I walked to the tombstone again, looked at the two graves on the left and right of Zhang Feng's ancestral grave, and asked, "Whose grave is this?" ”

Zhang Feng returned: "It's my grandfather's brother." ”

I asked, "Do all their descendants have children?" ”

"Both, both." Zhang Feng replied.

I stopped asking questions and walked along the ancestral grave, observing the entire cemetery.

When passing by a few small mounds, Jin Ling stretched out her hand and pointed to one of the mounds and said, "This is the tomb of my first child." ”

I stopped and looked back at her finger to see a few dead grasses growing on the mound.

After a few years of wind and rain, the mound was just a small bag of dirt that had been puffed up.

Surrounded by several larger mounds, I wouldn't have noticed it was a separate grave had she not pointed it out.

Zhang Feng pointed to the small earthen bag and said: "When he was taken out of the hospital, he was already dead, but he became a human, and he was not cremated after the hospital handed it over to me. ”

I asked a little more: "Why don't you bury him next to your grandfather, it's convenient to burn incense or something, this day will be long, and you won't be able to recognize it when the mound is flat." ”

When Jin Ling heard me say this, she burst into tears.

Zhang Feng looked at me with wide eyes and said, "According to local customs, children who have no adult are not eligible to be buried in the ancestral grave, and there is no incense. ”

He pointed to the surrounding mounds and said, "These are basically children who died young, and at that time, the Onmyoji was invited to demarcate this piece of land for burial. ”

"Are the other two children buried in this patch as well?" I asked Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng pointed to the two mounds behind him and said, "That's those two." ”

I sighed, "It's really hard for you, all three children." ”

Jin Ling looked at me expectantly and said, "So I implore the master to exert his divine power and help us." ”

I said lightly: "I can't delay it." ”

After looking at the cemetery, my conclusion is quite normal.

It seems that the problem is somewhere else, so I have to go back first and then discuss it.

Back in the neighborhood, I looked around the whole building below and didn't find any problems.

I looked around the house a few more times, and finally decided to stay here for the night to see if I could find anything.

As night fell, the lights of thousands of homes were lit up.

Sometimes I think that this house is very beautiful when it is brightly lit, but this bright light may be the tormented hearts of many people.

Zhang Feng and his wife went to bed early, and I laid the floor in the living room according to the usual practice.

It is difficult for people to stay focused for a long time at night, and when they are dazed, they feel like there are wheels rolling on the floor.

After a while, I heard the sound of small metal pieces crashing, which was very noisy.

I opened my eyes, and the sound stopped instantly.

After getting used to the darkness, I tiptoed to find a place to make a sound.

After looking into the hall, I gently pushed open the door to the master bedroom.

The master bedroom was darker than the hall, and I could vaguely see two people sleeping on the bed, and nothing else.

I gently closed the door and turned to the other two rooms to check.

I'm sure there's a sound in the room, and it's ringing in my ears, and it looks like there's still something in the room.
