Chapter 3: The Stubborn Old Man

The days after the apprenticeship were the most proud days for my second egg in the past ten years, because I worshipped Brother Da Zhuzi as a teacher, the people in the village were afraid of Brother Da Zhuzi's reputation, no one dared to laugh at me anymore, and they all looked up to me, and I naturally lost the hat of a second-rate child on my second egg, in fact, I think all this is nothing, the key is that I have something to do at hand, which is the most important thing.

But I didn't wait for a few days to be happy, my father took the medicine bottle rope and cried and made trouble and hanged himself at the door of my house, this crazy old man came to scold my father again, I think it is unfortunate to have a person like my father.

This time I thought I would dodge, but I was not spared, because he scolded my father for three days and three nights and couldn't scold a fart, and this time the spearhead was directly aimed at me.

Early that morning, I got up early to learn from Master, but my father blocked the door, refusing to let me go, as if I had rabies, seeing who bit whom.

"Erdan, starting from your grandfather, our ancestors have been innocent for generations, behaving innocently, and doing things in a proper manner, from the time I first remembered, your grandfather taught me, in the future, no matter how many generations of our Shao family are passed on, they cannot engage in the funeral industry, and the slaughtering industry, because these things are too heavy, and they will affect the ...... of future generations" The words in the future are that if you are involved in these industries, the longer the time, the heavier the accumulated yin qi, the more harmful it is, and the impact on future generations is even heavier. At worst, I was born with a lack of arms and legs, or at worst, my family was ruined, and I was cut off from my children and grandchildren, and then I scolded me for being a bad descendant.

I know that there are many people in the countryside who are very taboo about this, not to mention that my father is a seventy or eighty-year-old old man whose legs have been submerged in the loess is old and stubborn, although I am not convinced and the explanation is not clear, after all, my father is so old, I can fool it and bluff it, I pretended to regret the posture and said: Master, you dissipate your anger, I don't learn it."

"Erdan, you have to remember that your grandfather is the big landlord in our village, when he was alive, our family had hundreds of acres of fields, dozens of ploughing cows, and your milk was selected by me from hundreds of yellow flower girls in ten miles and eight villages, Erdan, our family is a nobleman in the village, how can you do those untouchables who only do the indiscriminate pretending to be ghosts, you are so despicable that you will insult your grandfather's reputation, in that case, the whole village will laugh at our ......"

I was originally in line with a filial piety, this old man actually said that I did all the things that pretended to be gods, I pushed my father away, you are a stubborn old man, you don't care about the reputation of the living, but you take care of your father who has been dead for decades, to be honest, he doesn't mention me My grandfather I am not angry, a landlord, rich party, but for the rich and unkind, bullying the people, doing some gambling, **, smoking dirt bad deeds, embarrassed to say, if he old man accumulates more virtue, my two uncles will not beat the singles, Thinking of this, I finally couldn't help it, and I decided to be angry with him, who made him disrespect my profession.

"Master, the old thinking and old brains are going to change, your old man has listened to my grandfather's words since he was a child, he is conscientious, and he doesn't do anything out of the ordinary, until my father's generation, but why are my second uncle and my fourth uncle all singles, so that I can't get a wife now, if he can accumulate more virtue when he is alive, do more good deeds, and don't prostitute or gamble, our family will not fall to the way it is now, and let me listen to my grandfather, he can get me a wife, how many years have I been buried in loess"

"You, Erdan, you turtle grandson, how can you say such disloyal and unfilial words......" When my father heard my words, not only did he lose his anger just now, but he didn't come up in one breath, and he almost died of exhaustion.

I looked at my father lying on the ground and shouted, "Dad, my father fainted," my father heard the sound and jumped out of the east room where he was hiding, and picked up my father like a chicken, and asked me with a crying voice: "What's wrong with your father?" What's going on?'

I didn't squeak, then I understood, I don't know the severity of what I said just now, whose son is in a hurry, my two uncles have no mother-in-law has always been a sore spot in his heart, this is what he can't rest assured until he dies under the three-foot loess, which is not uncovered again by me who doesn't know the severity, not to mention, I also said that my grandfather does not accumulate virtue, although this is a well-known truth in the village, but from my mouth, it really hit my father very hard.

My dad cried and screamed and it took a lot of effort to bring up my father's breath, his old man woke up and hummed uncomfortably after two uncomfortable hums, he was unusually calm and completely devoid of the madness just now, he kicked away my dad and got up from the ground and slapped the dust on his body, this time he didn't scold his mother again, just said

"I don't have a grandson like a second egg from now on," he turned his back to me and my father, leaving the cold words and leaving disappointed.

"You don't have my grandson, I don't have your grandfather, silly old man, you don't recognize my grandson, this family is really no successor," I looked at my grandfather's figure that disappeared in the east of the village and said with relief.

I didn't expect this to be a scolding from my father, but I didn't expect this product to be worse than my father's past.

"Why are you beating me, what did I say wrong," I yelled in disbelief.

"Your grandfather is seventy or eighty years old, can he stand up to you to inflate him like this? If I hadn't come out in time, your grandfather's breath wouldn't have come up, so he would ...... See if I don't kill you"

My father, who has always doted on me, was absolutely unceremonious to me that day, and I was really bad, and I also realized my mistake, but then again, the biggest obstacle to my entry into the yin and yang industry was removed, which may not be a good thing, and I can be regarded as getting my wish, I can finally learn some skills from the master every day.

Actually, in the first days, Master didn't teach me anything like metaphysics at all, but he kept instilling in me, saying that we are doing good deeds, not just doing some things to catch demons and eliminate ghosts, and he also said that what I want to learn, especially the essence of things, will not be told to me with my mouth, but I should see and discover with my heart and eyes......

Hearing this, I can't help but be a little discouraged, and I don't feel happy in my heart, hey, I still don't know who his old man is, and I don't have any teaching materials with the master, if I want to be self-taught, why should I bother with this? Just go home, it seems that Brother Dazhu is also a person who has no goods in his stomach...... However, I looked back and thought about it, why do I do this, I don't have to be too serious just for the thirty yuan a day.

However, in the following days, I still have a little more respect for the master, although I still don't know how much ability he has, but I think he is a very noble person, to be precise, there are still some professional ethics, because he never answers, yin relatives, divination, and the work of asking for children, he said, there will be something in life, and everything in life is not forced, and everything in the world is paid attention to and natural.

I remember that it was an evening just after the rain, Master and I handed over a freshly beaten coffin to the children of an old man who had just passed away in a neighboring village, and they knelt down with tears and kowtowed to Master three times to express their gratitude.

The old man's children were a lot of words of thanks, and they held Master's hand for a long time and refused to leave, only to learn later that the master and I had worked hard to confiscate a penny from their children, and they couldn't rest at ease, because the old man was nearly eighty years old, and although he had seven children under his knees, none of them were willing to provide for him. In the end, the old man who had no food or shelter was forced to commit suicide by throwing himself into a well with hatred, and in such an extreme way, the master took pity on him, so he did not accept the money from their children, I think the master is using his nobility to insult the old man's dirty children, the master knows that he only has to make a good coffin to give the old man the last bit of dignity so that he can go without resentment, and he can not do anything else! There is a saying in the countryside, many children and many blessings, I just see the opposite, there is no filial piety in front of the bed for a long time, and the poor family is not filial, which is a common thing in the countryside, but the old man died in such a way, giving humanity, humanity, spirit, and emotion is a powerful shock, the old man, well, there will be no hunger in heaven.

After sending the old man and his children away, Master went to the east of the village to smoke a lot of cigarettes, and I stayed silently behind him and did not dare to speak, saying something that I did not understand very well.

"Man, life! There is death! Ten years of life, ten years of death, another ten years of life and death, what is the picture? Is it for the last three feet of loess, or waiting for the moment when the ashes are gone, why are we living, poor, rich, vicissitudes or waste...... "Master suddenly seemed to have changed from a person who understood to be confused.

At this time, the sky was pouring light rain, and I felt a little cold on my body, which was both concerned and like a reminder:

"Master, it's starting to rain again, let's go home"

Master looked back at me and didn't have the slightest intention of going home, but sat down on a large wet rock by the side of the road.

"Master, it's getting dark, let's go home," I deliberately reminded again.

Master put his hands in front of his chest and sighed softly with his mouth, and he looked at me and smiled, very suddenly, very sadly.

"Master, it's cold on the stone, get up, let's go home"

Master shook his head and stood up, I subconsciously helped him, and he took my hand away, as if to say that I was not that old.

"Erdan" Master finally spoke to me.

"Ahh
