Chapter 16: The Blind
Ye Tianchen's mother suddenly stopped in her breath. Although I was very angry in my heart, if I left directly like this, it would seem that I was too unbearing. The adults don't remember the villain, and in order to avoid the gossip of the villagers, they chose to stay after all.
The third uncle walked over slowly on crutches, and coughed dryly: "Ah Hui has left, and God can't keep it, this matter is really too big a blow to Yaoyao, the child is still young, and it must be difficult to accept it for a while, it is inevitable that they will think crankily, their orphans and widows are not easy, we fellow villagers, we have to be more considerate and considerate, just help if you can." You don't want to be angry with a little kid, ah. ”
Ye Tianchen's mother is a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted person, and when she heard the third uncle say this, the anger in her heart suddenly disappeared a lot. Besides, Ye Tianchen has always been taken care of by Huang Yuhui, and he is also very grateful in his heart, he let out a long sigh and didn't say anything.
Yaoyao looked at their mother and son, gritted her teeth fiercely, still puffed up, turned around and went directly into the house.
Yaoyao is also a more obedient and sensible girl, and she understands things very well. Although her father's sudden and unexpected death hit her hard, it was not to accuse Ye Tianchen for no reason, and there was no reason at all.
Under the persuasion and comfort of several villagers, Ye Tianchen's mother reluctantly let Ye Tianchen enter the master's house.
If he leaves like this, Ye Tianchen will have some regrets in his heart, he will be a teacher for one day and a father for life, and the master will still die because of himself, he doesn't want to regret it for life! Luckily, that bad situation didn't happen.
Master's family also hired a professional funeral team, and they were all well arranged, so there was no need for Ye Tianchen to do anything now.
There is a skinny old man in Tsing Yi who is tying paper in the yard, his face is black and blue, his thick eyebrows are like flying, his eyes are dull, as if he has no focus at all, he looks very handsome, and when he walks in, he is blind!
"Nima, it's better to blow it up if you take a closer look! Destroy everything, there is wood! Ye Tianchen muttered. Fortunately, his voice is very small, otherwise he would have been heard by a blind man, and maybe the chrysanthemum would have been crippled!
In the line of paper-binding people, what they eat is yin and yang rice.
People who eat yin and yang rice, their descendants are generally not very prosperous, and the vast majority of people will be cut off from their grandchildren, so very few people who do this business have sons who inherit their father's business, and most of them accept a homeless son as their apprentice.
And I heard that the vast majority of people who eat yin-yang rice have disabilities. This is not hearsay, but a fact.
The old man in front of him was a blind man.
The paper figures he tied were all red-faced and white-clothed, men and women, old and young.
When Ye Tianchen first saw it, he felt that the paper figures were very simple and rough, and even a little sluggish, like a draft drawn by God when he created man, but when he looked at it carefully and carefully, he felt deep and terrible, and his heart suddenly became furious for no reason, no matter how he looked at it, he felt terrible, so he didn't dare to continue looking at it.
He hurriedly turned away.
When he was about to leave, the blind man's voice came from behind him: "Hehe, after working for so long, can the master's family cook something to eat?" ”
According to the customs of the countryside, people are generally invited to work, in addition to three meals in the morning, noon and evening, there is also an extra afternoon meal, but now it is almost evening, has the person who organizes the funeral forget about it? This is too unusual, isn't it, but it's also a help! Maybe they forgot about it.
Although this was in the master's house, Ye Tianchen felt that he should do something, so he replied casually: "Sir, please wait a moment, I'll get it for you." ”
The old man said, "I want two bowls, one big and one small, remember to fill them." ”
The master's family invited a man from the village, and he was busy with dinner in the kitchen, so Ye Tianchen asked him: "Didn't the master of the funeral team in the courtyard eat that meal in the afternoon?" ”
The man said, "Yes." No matter how busy we are, we won't forget these things, but we rely on this to eat. ”
Ye Tianchen was puzzled and said: "Then, why does that person still want it, and he deliberately wants a big bowl and a small bowl." It's a little weird. ”
The man didn't answer, just nodded silently, tossed casually, and handed him two bowls, one in a big bowl of rice, and the other in a big bowl of glutinous rice, and all of them were raw.
Ye Tianchen was suddenly a little confused, looked at the guy in amazement, and said that he was puzzled, and he couldn't tear up his sister: "This, what the hell is this, the rice is still raw, how can people eat it?" Well, that's not quite right? It's obvious that you're bullying, so let's get a new one, master. ”
The guy was a little surprised, and didn't explain too much, but said impatiently: "Don't care so much about children, just take it." ”
Ye Tianchen secretly wondered in his heart, could it be that when the man said a big bowl, it meant rice, and a small bowl was glutinous rice? It's weird, why do you want to do this? Did he pack it to take home? Hungry?
Without much thought, he took one in each hand and sent it over.
The blind man didn't say anything at once, he stretched out his hand and took it directly, and then he put it in front of the paper figure on the ground very casually, and then picked up a poke of incense from the table and put it on the incense candle.
The blind man's movements were so neat, every movement was precise, as if he didn't look like a blind man at all.
After the incense was lit, he quickly separated left and right, and each hand was three incense sticks, which were inserted into the two bowls of glutinous rice and rice, and the three incense sticks were very weird and neatly scattered.
He had also seen other funerals before.
It is usually placed in an inconspicuous place in the corner of the yard, usually the first day you see it, and the next day it will be taken away. This thing won't last long!
I just don't know what it is for, why I do it, maybe it has something to do with some superstition.
When the blind man had done this, he returned to his seat and began to work.
When Ye Tianchen was about to turn around and leave, the blind man took the initiative to ask, "Ahem, the master's family hasn't married yet, right?" Oh? Your girlfriend just left in the morning, right? Hehehe. ”
Ye Tianchen's heart was very shocked, Mu Xinran had already left home in the morning, and he had just found out, how could this blind man know? Could it be that this is a fortune teller? His brows furrowed slightly, and he suddenly remembered that he was a blind man and couldn't see his expression at all, so he said a little mischievously: "That woman did run away, well, I'm a veritable single dog again, and it's a dog more handsome than a husky." ”
The blind man said again, "Oh, that's true, well, it's no wonder." ”
The blind man couldn't see Ye Tianchen's appearance, if he could see that Ye Tianchen was just an eighteen or nineteen-year-old young man, I am afraid he would not ask so much, but Ye Tianchen thought of the strange things he had encountered in the past two days, and suddenly felt that this blind man's words seemed to mean something.
Ye Tianchen guessed that he could guess this kind of thing when Mu Xinran left, this blind man might also know some feng shui yin and yang, maybe he might have some way to help him, and hurriedly asked, "Old man, what's the wonder?" ”
The blind man didn't answer him this time, but asked tentatively: "Ahem, I don't know if the master's family believes in Yin De?" ”
If Ye Tianchen had been before, he would definitely answer that he didn't believe it, after all, no one had ever experienced death, and no one knew what would happen after death, and in the world after death, a young man like him wouldn't believe it at all! Now he has changed his mind, especially when he met the mysterious female ghost in red, he directly changed his three views, nodded silently and said, "I believe it." Everything in the world has a cause and effect! As the saying goes, all causes must have effects! ”
Yin De!
After doing something hurtful, everyone will scold him behind his back and let him accumulate more yin virtue.
The general idea of this yin virtue is to refer to some good deeds done in the world, which can be remembered in the underworld, and it is also a bad word to say. It's usually scolding, but people like them are not cursing when they say this, but implying that this person has done all the bad things and will live a miserable life in the Yin Chao Difu after death, so let him make some preparations for the afterlife as soon as possible, so that he can suffer a little less.
The blind man said without hesitation: "Young man, then you should accumulate more yin virtue in the future." ”
Let him accumulate a little more yin virtue? What do I mean, is it implying that I don't have much to live? Or are you a bad person? Too many bad things to do? Ye Tianchen thinks that he is not a good bird, oh no, good person, good person, but he is not a downright bad person! Overall, I haven't done anything bad, and I'm barely an honest person! The only stain on his life was that time when he was drunk and fell in a daze, Mu Xinran fell in a daze. However, he is also a good man, so he took responsibility directly, took Mu Xinran directly to his home, and said that he was willing to support her and marry her in the future. It's just that before she waited for that day, she ran away directly, which also made Ye Tianchen's heart a little complicated.
The blind man's words instantly made Ye Tianchen's heart tighten, in other words, a few days ago, if someone else told him this, he would not hesitate to beat people, and it was the kind that he didn't know his mother, but now, he agreed very much: "Does the old gentleman know something?" ”
Then the blind man stopped what he was doing and was about to answer.
A withered old man beside him who was arranging a wreath said deeply: "Blind man, have you forgotten how you were blind, and you still don't have a long memory?" ”
The blind man was suddenly slightly shocked when he heard this, and his face suddenly showed an extremely frightened expression, and he hurriedly stopped making a sound, silently lowered his head and continued to tie the paper man, and didn't dare to speak anymore.
The old man glanced at Ye Tianchen deeply, didn't speak, and turned to work.
