Chapter 6 Niangniang
Grandma was pulled by me to sit on the sofa, she touched my head lovingly, and then said, "Godci has grown taller, but she has lost weight." ”
She is still used to the past, and she has been used to hardship all her life, in addition to the furniture that my mother added to the house, many daily necessities can still be seen in the shadow of the original time in Shandong. I turned around and wiped the corners of my eyes while my grandmother wasn't looking.
"By the way, why are you back? Is it truancy? "While my grandmother was happy, she didn't forget to care about my studies.
I smiled, I was used to it when I was young, I'm so old, and you still worry about me.
I pointed to the red cloth bag on the shoe cabinet at the door and said to my grandmother, "Why are you skipping school?" As you know, I've been out for almost two years, and I'm here to invite my cousin to come back. I rented a shop in Shenyang and planned to take care of things while I was going to school. ”
"Is this what you old fairy mean?" Grandma immediately asked me after hearing this, and I nodded.

Grandma also understands this business, she sighed and said to me: "Then it should be out, the fairy is different from the fairy of the family, fate has arrived, and it is good for you and the fairy family to show people." ”
When my grandmother said this, she suddenly said to me, "Do you have enough money to rent a house?" If it's not enough, don't tell your parents, grandma has it here. ”
While talking, my grandmother was about to go back to the house to get her letter and passbook, but I stopped her.
I hurriedly told her, "Don't toss, I still made a lot of money in the tomb last time." ”
When I was a child, I always lied to my grandmother that I had no money, but if the school had to pay for books, tuition and fees, and the school cost fifty, I would definitely come back and say eighty. When I was in Shandong, I was cleaned up after my grandmother found out about this.

People may be like this, when they were young, they always lied to their elders that they had no money, and when they grew up, they always lied to their elders that they still had money. When I was young, I always reported the price of things when I came home, and when I grew up, I always told them that the price was very low. When I was wronged, I was wronged, and I always cried and went home to complain, and when I grew up, I was wronged, and I always thought about how to keep smiling when I went home.
Maybe it's a kind of growth········

I'm growing up, and my grandma is getting old. A few years after my grandmother left, whenever I encountered something, I wanted to save up and talk to my grandmother. Now that I really see her, I only wish her to be pure in her old age.
Grandma took my hand and kept telling me. Don't be greedy, you should help others when they are in trouble, don't rely on the magic power of the fairy family to do nonsense.
I actually understand all these truths, but I just want to listen to my grandmother's nagging. As the saying goes, if there is a treasure in the family, this is true, and there is someone who loves you to talk about you, that is a kind of happiness.
I talked a lot with my grandmother that day, all of which were my experiences over the years. Even though I couldn't tell her anything dangerous because I was afraid of her worry. But it is undeniable that the pressure in my heart is much lighter, and my heart is also a lot more comfortable.
Although I only stayed at my grandmother's house for one day, I actually felt like I was on vacation for a month. Grandma's food is still so fragrant, and I don't have to worry about any demons and monsters, just like when I was a child, I play when I'm full. I also played a few games of chess with my grandmother, although I deliberately let her.
After lunch and dinner, my grandmother meditated cross-legged for 40 minutes, and I meditated with her.
After meditating, the grandmother put three sticks of incense on the statue of the mother. Grandma's house also has a statue of the medicine king, which is exactly the same as mine, but it is smaller.
I asked her with some curiosity: "Grandma, what kind of god is the medicine king Niangniang?" How did you get involved with her? Have you seen her old man? ”
My grandmother told me that she had become attached to the medicine king Niangniang in the years when she first married my grandfather. Because my grandfather's party card was lost after the aid to Korea, and he caught up with the organizational structure change, he couldn't explain his own composition, so he was sent to the farm, he was an intellectual, he couldn't do any work at all, and he and my grandmother could only earn one and a half centimeters a day.
My grandmother's father used to be a rattle doctor, the kind who walked the streets. So grandma knows a little bit of medical skills, and occasionally anyone has a headache and brain fever, my grandma can help take a look. At that time, I was poor, and I couldn't afford any money to see a doctor, but I was optimistic about giving some eggs, cakes, and even sweet potatoes, and my family could barely survive.
Later, the whole country was rehabilitated, and my grandfather found the original organization to open a letter of introduction and went to Beijing to petition. He often left for more than half a year, and the food problems at home basically fell on my grandmother alone. Not only that, but even my grandfather's expenses were all handed over to my grandma.
That year should have been seven or eight years to remember, but fortunately, at the end of the same year, reform and opening up were implemented, so the economy was also relaxed. In order to feed the family, as long as she can cure it, she will go to the village more than ten miles away, no matter whether it is a big illness or a small disaster, or even a village more than ten miles away.
It was also that year that she encountered an evil thing. At that time, the patient was in the dog days, wrapped in a quilt and shivering, his hands were burning on the kang below, and he still felt too cold.
My grandmother thought it was a severe chill or a swing. But it doesn't look like it, because this person doesn't have a runny nose or a fever, but it's cold and scary.
Grandma is different from ordinary charlatans, she directly told the family that she had never seen this disease and would not cure it. The family was also very good, saying that after all, my grandmother was invited from afar, and if it was cured, it would be cured and left after eating.
My grandmother said that when she stayed to eat, several more people came, including Langzhong who walked on his feet, and there were also great gods in the village.
Lang Zhong is the same as her, and he can't see that he is ugly. The two great gods saw it, one said it was a ghost mill, and the other said that it was a hanged ghost. The two of them don't see it the same, and they don't think about it anymore.
After eating, it was already dark, and my grandmother walked back along the dirt road. Who knew that halfway through, a big tree appeared in front of me.
My grandmother said that she was walking on the path in the budding rice field, how could there be a big tree? Just as she was about to get around the tree, she found that it seemed to be infinitely wide, and no matter how far she went, the tree was always in her sight.
Although my grandfather is an intellectual, my grandmother grew up in the countryside and knows a little about some things that gods and gods talk about. She followed the old man's example and took a few sips at the tree.
It is said that when you encounter something dirty or have no face, you will spit out twice if you have a low path, and it will run away. If the Tao is higher, you will scold loudly, and it will generally work if it is ugly and scolding.
Who knows, it didn't work to spit out a few mouthfuls, and when my grandma was about to scold, a woman in green clothes appeared in front of her.
The woman pulled off a brick-sized piece of wood from the big tree and said to my grandmother, "I am not an evil person, but a righteous immortal." You and I are destined, you should worship me, and in the future, practice medicine to save people and accumulate good fortune in the next life. ”
After the woman finished speaking, she shoved the wood in her hand into my grandmother's arms, and then disappeared.
My grandmother was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, and was about to throw the wood out of her hand in fright, when the woman's voice appeared again: "You turn back and use this piece of wood to tap the patient's head three times, and you can save his life." ”
Although the grandmother was afraid, she didn't mean to harm her when she saw the woman, so she took the piece of wood and walked back in disbelief. Along the way, she wondered what the hell that woman was, whether it was a ghost or a goblin.
When I returned to the village, the patient's father was a little puzzled when he saw that my grandmother had returned. My grandmother didn't say much, just said that there was another way, maybe she could save his son's life.
When the old man heard this, he let my grandmother into the house without saying anything. My grandmother didn't hesitate, took out the piece of wood and tapped it three times on the patient's head.
After three strokes, the young man collapsed on the bed with a thud. Grandma said that the body temperature was restored at that time, and within half an hour, the person also woke up.
The old man didn't have any money at home, so he wanted to give my grandmother five yuan, but my grandmother confiscated it. You must know that at that time, the dual workers in the city couldn't earn forty yuan a month. For an old farmer, five yuan is not enough for the whole family to be rationed for more than a month. But my grandmother took the ten catties of potatoes given by the old man.
Grandma said that after going back, the woman appeared again and asked my grandmother to carve the wood into her image and worship it day and night. At the same time, he often dreams of my grandmother, and teaches my grandmother some strange medical skills in her dreams.
Who knows, the news that my grandmother cured the old man's son's strange illness spread not long after it spread in Shili Eight Villages. Anyone who has any disease will come to my grandma, if it is an ordinary disease, my grandma can cure it herself. If there are some abnormal diseases, grandma can basically cure them with the carved image.
My grandmother told me that since then, she has been treating people full-time, and she has been seeing people for most of her life. Later, my grandfather was gone, and my uncle and my aunt were also raised by her relying on treating people to earn money.
"Grandma, is the woman you are talking about the mother of the medicine king?" I've actually been sure, but the story is too mysterious, so I still subconsciously asked.
Grandma nodded and said to me, "The statue I left you is the original one, and now the one I offer myself is engraved later." ”
I asked her with some curiosity: "Grandma, according to that, the medicine king Niangniang seems to be carved by you according to the mother's appearance?" You can carve it too, it's so good, it's better than the machine carving. ”
"That's not what I carved, it's what the medicine king herself carved." Grandma smiled mysteriously and said.
As soon as I heard her say this, the more mysterious it became, I shook my head and asked her with a wry smile: "Grandma, my mother said that my life was begged by you and the Medicine King Niangniang, and my Zhangtang Sect Master also said that my fate with the immortal family came from Niangniang." So why do you keep seeing her, but I can't? ”
"Because fate hasn't arrived yet." Grandma said with a smile.
I was stunned and asked her, "What do you mean that fate hasn't arrived yet?" When will it come? ”
"I didn't say this just now, it was my mother who said it." Grandma smiled and waved her hand, then got up and went back to the house.
Her last words were all over for me, what she said just now was said by the medicine king Niangniang? What kind of medicine king is like my grandmother's family fairy?
If I hadn't known that my grandmother wouldn't joke with me, I would have thought that one of us was schizophrenic········
