We sat in the living room of Lao Liu's house and waited for a while, until the sound of a gong sounded in the village, followed by the village chief's thick accent: "Hey, hey, hey, pay attention to the work of the Jinshi team, Mr. Shen went to the big hospital to see a doctor today, but he said that he would continue to work in the afternoon, and he would also take full credit for half a day." The workmanship relays it to each other. ”

I looked at the clock on the wall, 12:45 at noon, usually at 1 o'clock, I guess at this time they should go back to the dormitory to get the guy to set off, so they also went out of Lao Liu's house, and Lao Liu's son went to the construction site first.

Lao Liu walked really fast, he had already arrived at the place first, he pointed out to me, and at the same time told me some feng shui knowledge, as well as the direction of anger, I heard a little foggy.

Not long after we arrived, a "mighty army" of nearly 20 people also came this way, and Lao Liu saw them coming, pointed to a bend in the stream, and said, "In my opinion, let's block it there, and the effect will be achieved." ”

"Blocking this water doesn't affect the village, right?" I don't farm, but I know how important water is to agriculture.

Lao Liu smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, this stream is said to be a stream, but in fact, it is more like a stinky water ditch, the water does not flow much, and it will be gone a section downstream, and the village does not use this water, but you picked such a place well." ”

When I heard him say that, I was relieved. beckoning everyone to come this way. Anyone who has filled in the ditch knows that the reason why we have to use a cart to pour the soil is because it is much better to fall down a pile of soil than to go down with a shovel, because the soil will not be scattered in the water, and it can be blocked at once.

I beckoned their brothers and sisters to come over, told them about what we were going to do, and then went to dig with the migrant workers.

As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers, and it is not bad at all, and four carts go back and forth twice, and it will be done in no time. Some villagers asked us why we did this, and I said that Mr. Shen wanted to open a few more squares south of the stream to make a dirt road to facilitate the movement of people and cars. It's not a good thing to lie to people, but I know it's also a way to worry less about them.

After finishing the matter, Lao Liu said to me: "This should be fine, let's go back first, you come to my house in the evening, let's go to the town together, and Mr. Shen will probably wake up by then." ”

I nodded, and I took a few migrant workers back to work in Fangli. A girl saw us coming back and asked why it was so fast, didn't she go to try to dig it? I just say the same thing, I built a bridge today to lay the foundation for the future.

It's better not to let the girls know about this kind of thing for the time being, it's all small if you have a sense of fear, if you scare a few girls who are very timid and don't even dare to dig the grave to work, it's also a sin, and then Mr. Shen will find me to blame me, and I'll be finished.

When I returned in the evening, the officials were gone. After dinner, I went back to the dormitory and told everyone about it, and then went to Lao Liu's house. Lao Liu said that Mr. Shen didn't have to lie down anymore, so he let his son drive the carriage and take the two of us to the town.

Ma Daoist led us into the room, the shadows and needles on the wall were gone, and Mr. Shen also looked at the ceiling with his eyes open, I breathed a long sigh of relief and thanked Ma Daoren.

Ma Daoren said: "Little brother don't have to be polite, thank you teacher has already said a lot." ”

I turned my head to look at Mr. Shen, who also looked at me and smiled at me, with a little helplessness in his eyes.

Ma Daoren continued: "He is no longer in serious trouble, the feng shui has been broken by you, and that thing will naturally not become a climate, and it will not be long before it will completely dissipate itself." Mr. Shen's current situation is like having a very high fever, he just drank some gruel, and he is still very weak, you can let him rest here tonight, and tomorrow I will take him to the big medical hall to prescribe some antipyretic medicine to eat, and he will not be well in two days. ”

I still thanked Ma Daoren repeatedly, and he just smiled and waved his hand. I saw that Mr. Shen was fine, so I took a car with Lao Liu to his son's house to live.

Although Lao Liu's son is not a rich man, he has a good life, and the decoration of the home makes me, a person who has been away from the city for a long time, feel a sense of cordiality. That night, I really slept soundly.

The next morning, Lao Liu invited me to the steamed bun shop on the street for breakfast, and brought two to Mr. Shen, who said that his senior brother Ma Daoren's house only had rice and porridge, and at most some vegetables, and Mr. Shen needed to eat meat buns to make up for it. The town was not very big, and we arrived in a donkey cart for a while. When I entered the house, I saw that Mr. Shen had already gone to the ground, and was sitting on the edge of the table drinking porridge with Ma Daoren.

Lao Liu smiled and said to me, "Look at what I said, Mr. Shen doesn't have any meat to eat here." Saying that, he handed the two buns to Teacher Shen, and Ma Daoren still drank his porridge when he heard it, and only smiled.

Mr. Shen took the steamed buns, thanked him, soaked the buns in the porridge, and then ate them all one bite at a time, we sat next to him and watched him eat, he didn't look like a patient, just like a normal man who had been hungry for two days.

After Mr. Shen finished eating, he wiped his mouth with his hands, and when he saw that we were still looking at him, he stood up and jumped twice, and said to us, "Don't look at it, it's nothing to look at, it's all right." ”

Ma Daoren said: "Teacher Shen is quite healthy, and there is no major problem in recovering overnight, and now it seems that he doesn't even need to take antipyretics." ”

At this moment, Lao Liu's son suddenly came to look for us, saying that someone from the village had just come to look for him, and the official had gone to the station to find Mr. Shen again.

I think so, I didn't see anyone yesterday, I guess I didn't find anyone when I went to the big medical center, and I didn't even have a medical record when I saw it, would I think that Mr. Shen was a fugitive?

I told Mr. Shen about the ruffian and these things after that, and Mr. Shen said that after thinking about it, he said to Lao Liu's son, "Thank you for your help." Then he said to me: "We will go back immediately and bring the official and the village chief and Li Changyang to the yamen, so that we can clarify the matter in person." "Li Changyang is the man who twisted the ruffian that day.

Then he said to Lao Liu: "Please go to the yamen and be a witness with us in a while." ”

Lao Liu nodded and agreed: "Okay, I don't have anything to do anyway, let's go together, and we can go back together when we're done." ”

At this time, Ma Daoren spoke: "You go first, there will be nothing to do, you can leave in a while, let this little brother stay with me and sit here for a while." ”

Before I could understand what the situation was, Mr. Shen went out with Lao Liu, Mr. Shen drove the carriage and set off in a hurry, and Lao Liu walked in the direction of the yamen.

There were only two people left in the house, Ma Daoren, who went over and closed the door, came back and sat down where he had just drunk porridge, and invited me to sit opposite him.

Seeing that I was a little uncomfortable, Ma Daoren smiled and said, "We will talk about daily life, and you can't help when you go to the yamen." ”

I nodded yes.

Ma Daoren poured me another cup of tea, and then asked me, "Do you have no father?" ”

This sudden question caught me off guard. No one will know about this after I go to college, because the school is in the north, and I am from the south, and there are no old classmates here, let alone acquaintances from my hometown, and this matter is almost a secret. Because I didn't want others to know, I never mentioned it. But Ma Daoren asked. But when I calmed down and thought about it, he was a bit of a Taoist after all, and it was not unusual to be able to calculate this, but it was a bit rude to ask such a question. Only one "yes" was answered. ”

But Ma Daoren continued: "Little brother, don't think I'm revealing your scars. Has your mother ever mentioned your father to you over the years? ”

He followed up with this question, and I was speechless. Yes, I don't know who the surname is, I haven't even seen anything related to him, and even my grandparents I don't have them, only my grandparents, and the relationship is still very cold.

"It seems that I am not mistaken, you do have an unusual background." Ma Daoren continued, "The qi on your body is different from ordinary people, I can see one or two from this qi, the question just now is a bit rude, I hope you don't mind." ”

I said in my heart that it was really taught by a master, and Lao Liu said the same. I didn't have any other thoughts at this time, I just wanted to ask Ma Daoren what he meant: "What is the difference in my qi?" ”

"I don't know." Ma Daoren's words made me feel a little angry in my heart. You don't know? So what are you talking about?

He went on to say: "The vitality of ordinary people is the vitality of all things that are born in the land, and it is no different from the anger of a tree, a bird and a beast in the morning, and you are angry mixed with another kind of anger. When I first met you, it was a kind of anger that I didn't know. Chances are your father brought it to you. ”
