One day in the middle of winter, Master was invited by a large family in a neighboring village to go to the birthday banquet, I know very well that Master is a person, and he has never bent his waist to Quan Mei, and I only realized that the male owner of this family is a close friend of Master, as for how he met him, and how he became old friends, I can't talk about it now, but it will be clear later.

When Master and I arrived, the man had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when he saw me and Master coming in the dust, he greeted him very boldly, and Master and I had not yet entered, and his laughter had already spread a few miles away.

"Brother Xingze, you're here, my mother is in a hurry"

"Brother Qiangzi, I'm late, let my mother wait for a long time, I'm sorry, I knew that the mountain road was so difficult to walk, I didn't want to drive, I walked"

"Hey, brother, I don't blame you, you see that although our two villages are so close, but across these mountains, it is also a long way to go, our mother always talks about you, always looking forward to you coming" The master couldn't help crying when he heard this, the man didn't flick when he had tears, not to mention the master's age, what's going on, why does the master still have a mother here? I'm a little confused.

"Erdan, scream"

"Uncle" is a kind of name for uncle in our countryside.

"Hey, this must be your apprentice, a good young man"

I looked at the kind man in front of me, who was also over half a hundred years old, but he looked energetic, pot-bellied but neatly dressed, and he was still old and had long hair, which made people look very funny.

Our master and apprentice were allowed into the house, and a large round table in the room surrounded a circle of people, and in the middle sat an old lady who was kind and kind like an old lady, surrounded by her children, grandchildren, and descendants, and was happy, and the master saw that the old man hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground with three rings: "Son Xingze, congratulations to my mother on her seventy-sixth birthday."

The old man got out of the chair very handily and helped the master up with her children, and the old man said again and again:

"It's good to come, it's good to come," I hurriedly offered the gift, and the old man laughed from ear to ear, and she laughed at her children, saying:

"How many of you brothers and sisters, it's just not as good as Xingze, he is still as polite and sensible as he was when he went to school."

"Yes, mother, Xingze is the most filial" It turns out that the man called Qiangzi is the eldest son of the old man, she followed the old man, and after listening to it for a while, I understand, why did the master call this old lady mother, it turned out that the master's mother died early, the family was poor, and the master often did not eat and clothing when he was in middle school, thanks to the selfless help of this old lady to complete junior high school, it turned out that the master is now willing to give, and the behavior of helping people in trouble are the seeds planted at that time, Only then did I realize that Master and this middle-aged man named Qiangzi were junior high school classmates, and Master could call her mother mother, which shows the depth of their relationship. The old lady's help to Master is genuine.

"Mother, when I went to school, if it wasn't for you and Brother Qiangzi to help me, I don't know what would have become like now," Master couldn't stop crying as he spoke.

"Xingze Wu'er, how many years ago, don't mention it, my mother just wants you to be a good person, understand? Mother, I was helped when I was a child, if I hadn't starved to death a long time ago, you see now, well, as long as people practice it, it's still okay to help individuals do some good deeds, besides, I exchanged a few pancakes for a good son, it's a good deal."

"Mother" The old lady's words amused everyone at once, and the master said:

"Mother's words, Xingze must be remembered"

"Hey, big brother Xingze, you must be filial to your mother, otherwise, I think my mother is more partial, what will be delicious when I am young, my mother will not let me eat, and I will keep it for you to take to the school for you to eat, big brother, what are you laughing at, and you, my mother loves you two the most, my mother is eccentric"

An aunt who looked to be in her forties said this, and it did not bring a trace of embarrassment, but made the atmosphere more harmonious.

"Xingze, take the liberty of asking, you know that our mother's body has always been very tough, can you show how old our mother can live?" As soon as Uncle Qiangzi said this, he was pushed by her mother-in-law a lot.

"Today is my mother's birthday, why do you say such unlucky words, bastard, you"

"Who let our Xingze brothers have some ability, aren't I curious?"

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, since the eldest brother said it, I'll reveal some mystery to everyone"

"Brother Xingze, didn't you say that the secret of heaven should not be revealed?"

"This may not be, it doesn't hurt to talk about it, our mother, if you can't see your great-grandson, you can't go"

As soon as the master's words came out, everyone present was shocked, the old lady couldn't go if she couldn't see her great-grandson, that is to say, when the old man saw her grandson's grandson, her great-grandson's son, she would be an ancient person. The old man must have lived to be more than 100 years old, and later, when the old man died, he really verified the master's words, and I went to attend her funeral, and the master had already passed away at that time, and even my second egg was a handful of years, so I won't talk much about it here, as for how the master explored the truth in this, I really don't know for a while.

After the gossip continued, the old man's birthday banquet began solemnly, Master and I usually don't drink alcohol, today's harmonious atmosphere, can not let the people present disappoint, not to mention, our people in the mountains are strong, big girls and little daughters-in-law can drink a pound of liquor, if Master and I don't drink, wouldn't it be embarrassing.

"By Xingze's auspicious words, I wish our mother a long life of 100 years, as blessed as the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan" We all raised a glass to bless the old man for his seventy-sixth birthday, the first cup, except for the children, all drank it all.

That night's birthday banquet was very cheerful, even I, an outsider, felt that I hadn't been so happy for a long time, I think the biggest change was the master, he has always been serious, how to say, it's ugly, a hiccup, a laugh, so cute, I can't find the former him at all, that night, we drank very late, and it was almost eleven o'clock at night when we left, although Uncle Qiangzi drank high but insisted on not letting our master and apprentice go, saying that it was too late, the road was not safe, and the old man was not close enough to the master, The master also got drunk and said, 'Brother, I have something to do tomorrow, so I won't stay, I have to come to visit my mother again, let's go' Uncle Qiangzi saw that the master insisted on leaving, but he didn't force him to stay, so our master and apprentice said goodbye to the old man's children and drove back to the village.

The car drove out of the village, it was an empty mountain, there was no pedestrian on the road at this time, and the hungry wolf in the deep mountains could be heard from a distance sitting in the car.

Although Master was drunk, he was still driving the car and didn't dare to let me drive it, because he was afraid of the danger of the mountain road, after all, he couldn't make any mistakes with more experience.

I leaned on the chair of the car and calculated the journey home, in front of me, there is a hillside, climb up the hillside, around a large natural pond, is a fairly flat mountain road, drive through the mountain road not far, almost to our village.

The further the car went, the more foggy it spread, and I looked out the window in the dark, and suddenly I had an ominous premonition in my heart, and this feeling was unprecedentedly strong!

The car drove slowly on the bumpy mountain road, vaguely to the hillside, I can already feel that the car has driven up the small slow slope under the hillside, the most straightforward feeling is that the car rises and falls, the high beams from time to time to the sky and then back to the ground, and the master has added full throttle under his feet, the speed of the engine from slow to urgent, the roar is very noisy in the wilderness of this dark night, according to this speed, the car should have turned over this hillside even in first gear, now it feels like a lot of effort even half the slope has not yet arrived, I felt more and more that something was wrong, and when I came here today, I had noticed that the ground was a little undulating, but it was not so bumpy.

I can vaguely feel that the master is also aware of the abnormality, but his old man has always been calm and calm when encountering things, and it is difficult to see on the surface, at this moment my heart has hung in my throat, for some reason, there is an inexplicable sense of fear in my heart that I have never felt before, and my heart seems to be held by something.

Under the control of the master, the car finally climbed up the halfway slope with great effort, and the top of the slope was in front of me, and victory was in sight, but the car just climbed the halfway slope and suffocated the fire several times, and the master repeatedly hit several times, but the car still could not start, I couldn't help but panic and asked the master:

"Master, is there no gas?"

"There's also a half-fuel tank, I'm trying to do it again."

The car finally caught fire, Master pinned the first gear, stepped on the accelerator under his feet, and the car roared forward a little bit, but he always felt that there was something in front of the front of the car, and he couldn't move at all, and the four wheels seemed to be entangled in something, and the four wheels seemed to be idling in place, and then Master's calm breath finally couldn't be suppressed, and he said to me:

"No, it doesn't feel right, second egg, there is a situation," I looked at Master's anxious look and concluded that he could not judge the situation outside the carriage either.

I subconsciously leaned towards the master, raised my eyes and looked out the window of the car and couldn't see anything, there was no visibility at all, our master and apprentice were like being blindfolded by an invisible thing, I looked back at the digital watch on the dashboard, it was already more than one o'clock in the morning, that is to say, our master and apprentice were controlled by unknown things in this place for more than two hours and still didn't realize it, God, this is terrible, this time seems to have been inadvertently taken away.
