My name is Erno, and on the day I was born, my grandfather gouged out his eyes.

said that this is the rule, the rule of our industry, we don't see each other from generation to generation.

That night, my backyard was bustling with activity.

There were those who cried, those who laughed, those who sang, those who played songs, and those who wrestled.

Especially in the second half of the night, there are more people who knock on doors and windows.

Grandpa didn't pay any attention to this, and just sat in the outer room and fell asleep while I was in the inner room.

Until the crack in the door floated in like a crying voice, calling my name over and over again.

Grandpa became furious, got up and went to the west wing in the backyard.

When he came out, he had a yellowed ancient painting in his hand, and the lady asked for a child.

"I don't see a safe landing today, Lao Tzu is happy, so I don't want to deal with you."

"But this stinky and shameless person dares to beat my grandson's idea, then don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless."

There was no wind that night, but the painting was fluttering automatically.

It slapped on Grandpa's body and sounded like a slap.

Grandpa was indifferent, and without saying a word, he directly lit a fire.

"Since Lao Tzu can support you, he can fucking kill you."

After saying that, Grandpa turned around and went into the house.

Outside, it suddenly became quiet.

Later, I asked my grandfather who he had killed that night.

Grandpa said: Want to know?

I said, "Yes."

He said, "If you want to know, do what I say, and when you get your eyes out, you will know everything."

Boiling eyes is the doorway that my two families do not pass on.

From the third birthday, you must cover your eyes during the day and cannot see the light, which is called shading.

Dressing, walking, eating, drinking, and Lazar all depend on hearing and hearing.

After sunset, you need to take off the blindfold and look at the sky and the earth by the light of the stars and the moon, which is called seeing yin.

Even if the night is like ink, you should not use candles to make fire, for the purpose of staring at the eyes.

At a young age, I had to suffer blindness, and my parents couldn't accept it, so they often went to my grandfather to plead for mercy.

But every time, he will be scolded fiercely.

The rice bowl handed down by the ancestors must be held by someone.

The son can't count on the grandson, who don't expect the grandson to count on?

You're not interfering to help him, you're hurting him!

There was so much scolding that my parents didn't dare to ask anymore.

For me, I gradually became indifferent to it.

But many nights I could hear my father's sighs and my mother's soft sobs.

At that time, I realized that because of my grandfather's fierceness, they dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

In my heart, it always hurts me......

……

At the beginning, I was not used to it, and I always wanted to play a little clever when my grandfather was not paying attention.

But every time he will be discovered, in addition to severe scolding, most of the time he will be beaten fat.

After a lot of times, I don't dare to cheat anymore.

But I always have a question in my heart, how did I find out that my grandfather's eyes were blind?

It wasn't until my eighth birthday that this question was solved.

After the morning workout as usual, I felt some indescribable changes in my body.

I can't see it, I can't touch it, but it's so clear and real, especially the nose and ears.

I could smell the smell of my grandfather and the smell of churros on his clothes.

I heard his footsteps and his nagging.

"No wonder the fritters Shih Tzu has spring water in his eyes, it turns out that he was fed last night. The treacherous door is open, the peach blossoms are coming from the west, it is the dog's day Li Cripple, yes. “

"Having said that, this grandson's courage is really big enough, the widow of the king in the year of the tiger and wolf dares to touch it, so the hell is not afraid of grinding the iron pestle into a needle?"

At that time, my grandfather was on the street and I was at the end of the street.

I thought it was all an illusion.

Grandpa said that after five years, the foundation was finally laid.

Tomorrow, the tall buildings will begin.

At the end of the boil, I saw the world I had not seen for a long time, and I also saw the comforting and kind smiles of my parents.

I also saw my grandfather's full head of gray hair and scars on his eyes.

That night, Grandpa was very drunk.

The wine went deep, and he took my hand and chanted it over and over again.

"Child, if you endure it again, there are still ten years. When you have a coming-of-age ceremony, your future daughter-in-law will come to your door, and then we will all be free. ”

I don't understand what Grandpa said, but I thought he was talking nonsense after drinking, put him on the bed, and planned to go to the roof to see the moon.

I love the moon, especially the full moon of the white jade plate.

As I walked to the door, I heard my grandfather's whisper.

"It's a pity that widow Wang, what a watery cabbage, why did you let the pig of Li Cripple arch."

"If I knew this was the case, I should have started in the first place......"

As a last resort, I had no choice but to stay in the house.

It's not that I'm afraid that my grandfather will suffer from a drinking accident, but I'm mainly worried that he will go to buy fritters in the middle of the night.

……

The next day, before my grandfather had woken up, he drove my parents to the provincial capital.

Say that the house is ready, and while you are young, you will go and have a few more cubs.

If you don't see this child, you will follow me in the future.

When I die, let him return to you to fulfill his filial piety.

My parents were reluctant, but they didn't dare to disobey my grandfather, and they told me a thousand words and said goodbye in tears.

A few days later, I received a photo from them, living in a high-rise building, eating delicacies from the mountains and seas.

Laughing ...... It is as bright as a summer flower.

At the end, he said to me, "No, listen to grandpa, don't worry about us." For the sake of your future, it is nothing for us to suffer a little. ”

I felt aggrieved, so I took the photo and asked my grandfather.

They taste delicacies and endure hardships, so what are we doing when we eat chaff?

Am I their son, are you their father?

After listening to this, Grandpa blew his beard and glared again.

Say: Little bunny, you know a fart.

Then, dragged me to the backyard.

"Little Wang Ba Lamb, I can't let you be idle. In the future, you will live here, when you will see the objects in the West Wing, and when will you come out again. On that day, Lao Tzu personally cooked and gave you a whole banquet on land, sea and air, ensuring that it was better than what your parents ate in the provincial capital. ”

After speaking, the grandfather closed the courtyard door and put on the copper lock again.

In my memory, whether it is the backyard or the west wing, it is a forbidden place that cannot be set foot in.

In the past, every time I approached, I would be reprimanded by my grandfather.

So I didn't get too nervous or scared, I just wanted to find out.

In particular, the things in the west wing room made me curious to the extreme.

Strange and treacherous.

There are copper coins, locks of hair, rag dolls, and red wedding dresses.

There are necklaces, fresh human bones, embroidered shoes, and tattooed animal skins.

There are so many categories that there are so many of them.

The only thing in common is that they are all embossed with carved patterns of square mahogany.

After reading everything, I felt bored, and my previous excitement was replaced by helplessness.

It was only after that freshness that I realized that I had been grounded again.

As a last resort, I can only do what my grandfather said, in order to get out of here as soon as possible.

During the day, I would intently examine each object.

Look at the pattern, look at the color, look at the gap, look at the year, and also look at the annotated origin and story.

While refining your eyes, you also have to learn all kinds of ancestral techniques and formulas.

At night, I lay in bed, listening to strange movements in the room and smelling different smells in the room.

Grandpa said, this is called listening to the sound and distinguishing the position, smelling the breath and knowing the root.

From trembling to calm, it took me half a month to fully adapt.

Since then, every day before the meal, my grandfather will ask a few questions to let me know what to answer.

Up to the stars, the sun and the moon, down to the mountains, seas, mountains and streams.

Far from the pre-Qin period, as far as the country.

All-encompassing, all-encompassing.

The answer is correct, there is meat in the bowl, and the answer is wrong, there is no oil in the dish.

More than nine years have passed in a flash.

Just like now, as soon as I had put the things in the West Wing in order, I saw my grandfather come in with two more meals.

"The old rule, one bowl has meat, the other bowl has no oil, and you can eat according to your ability."

"Grandpa, I want to change my taste today."

More than 3,000 days and nights passed, and the copper lock was already rusty.

It can't lock me up!

Grandpa's ears moved, and his voice trembled a little.

"No, you, what do you want to eat today?"

"Running on the ground, swimming in the water, and flying in the sky, and you have to cook it yourself."

Grandpa was silent for a long time, put down the meal and patted me on the shoulder, with relief and excitement on his face.

"Wait, I'll get it."

Grandpa walked out of the backyard, and I picked up the food on the ground and put it on the doorstep of the west wing.

Looking at the dark door for a while, he left with a smile.

When I locked the door, I glanced towards the doorway and saw that the two meals were gone.

On the ground, there are clear and messy handprints.

Through the frosted glass of the west wing, you can still see the ...... A few blurry faces!
