Two days later, Uncle Hong buried my grandfather and uncle, and according to the customs of the Han people, they were buried together, which can be regarded as the ancestral grave of our Yin family, but it is a pity that my mother is a girl and cannot enter the ancestral grave, otherwise it can be regarded as a family reunion.

I was kneeling in front of the grave burning paper when I heard a familiar voice from afar. A young man in fancy clothes was running here, shouting "Lao Jiu" in his mouth, it was his uncle's friend God of Wealth. Although I had a good impression of him after the previous experience, I felt that he was also a friend of my uncle's smelly side, and I didn't expect him to come, which surprised me.

The God of Wealth rushed to his uncle's grave and said that there was only such a friend in his life who died young, and he really hated each other, and he cried as if he had died his father. Finally, he swore at the graves of my grandfather and uncle that in the future, as long as he had a bite to eat, he would never let Chu Ha go hungry. After all this was done, the God of Wealth followed me back to Uncle Hong's house.

The God of Wealth said that if he hadn't been entangled in something, he would have come a long time ago, and I asked him how he knew that my uncle had passed away, and he said that he had heard Li Dafu say it. The God of Wealth also brought two pieces of news, one was that the boss who forced him and his uncle to destroy people's graves had an accident, saying that the enemy had been cut and died on the way to the hospital. Another piece of news was that he had been found by the owner of the tomb.

I asked, is that the weird dry corpse? The God of Wealth said yes, fortunately, the God of Wealth and my uncle did not destroy the tomb, otherwise there would definitely be no good fruit to eat, and after asking the ins and outs, they did not embarrass him, and thanked him for not helping to abuse, and the God of Wealth also got an errand because of this.

The family's surname is Chen, and they are doing a serious family business, starting by selling fruits, and now they have contracted large orchards in several villages near the county seat, and the papayas and pineapples grown are shipped to all parts of the country.

The bully before fell in love with the daughter of the Chen family, and after several failed teasing, he held a grudge and finally made a black hand. The Chen family was unwilling, knowing that they couldn't teach the bully a lesson, so they invited a wizard from nowhere, and cast a spell to let his daughter's ghost haunt the bully, and now it can be regarded as a harm to the county.

The God of Wealth changed his mind after listening to Uncle Hong's advice last time and quit his gambling addiction, of course, the underground casino could not be opened after the bully died. It happened that the Chen family found him, and as a result, he became the new owner of the God of Wealth, and asked him to help run around the business, although the salary was not high, but there was a commission, and it was a serious job.

Speaking of this, the God of Wealth thanked Uncle Hong excitedly, saying that Uncle Hong's words woke up the person in the dream, which was his guiding light, Uncle Hong smiled and said: "I said, as long as you are down-to-earth, you will definitely have a future in the future." But don't forget the oath you made today at the grave of your grandfather and uncle. "The God of Wealth said that he must not forget, he will be his brother on the eighth day of the first month in the future, and if he violates his oath, the sky will thunder, and I will quickly say that you don't want to say it to death.

The next morning, the God of Wealth was ready to go back to the county, before leaving, he said that he might have to go all over the country to run business, often not in the county, but will contact us, he has this heart I am also very touched, but I am not familiar with him, so just wish him all the best.

After the God of Wealth left, Uncle Hong called me into the house and said to me solemnly: "On the eighth day of the first month, if you want to be my apprentice, you must promise me three things, otherwise I can't accept you." I nodded yes. Uncle Hong continued: "First, what I taught you can only be used to save people, not harm people; Second, you are not allowed to use spells without permission until you leave the school, unless I agree to it. Can you do it? ”

I thought to myself that it's okay if I don't get harmed, how can I hurt people, and I usually don't have anything to do to cast spells, I am very tired to see Uncle Hong cast spells, so I nodded and promised that I would definitely be able to do it, and asked Hong Da what is one more thing?

Uncle Hong smiled and said, "The last one is, you have to continue to go to school. "I was a little surprised when I heard it, what I don't love the most is going to school, even my grandfather was about to agree, but I didn't expect Uncle Hong to have this request for me.

Uncle Hong saw that I didn't speak, so he said, "I don't like the difficulty of strong people, if you can't do it, forget it." "When I heard it, I was anxious and said that I would just continue to go to school, but my head was really not bright, and my grades were not good. Uncle Hong was a little angry, saying that he couldn't read well, what spells did he learn? Don't study it too soon. I quickly promised myself to study hard, and if I didn't get good grades, I would study harder. Uncle Hong nodded with satisfaction.

Originally, my only plan for the future was to learn medicine collection from my grandfather, inherit my grandfather's mantle, and be a professional medicine picker to support my family, but at this time and then, what happened in the past half a month made me completely confused, but fortunately, after discussing with me for most of the day, I was not so confused.

Two days later, Uncle Hong took me to the hospital to reissue the death certificate for my grandfather and uncle, changed the information in my household registration book at the county police station, and then took me to the county high school to apply for admission.

After listening to Uncle Hong's suggestion, I simply cleaned up the house at home, because now I basically live in Uncle Hong's house, so my house is empty, and I set up my grandfather and uncle's spirit cards in the hall with my mother, and I go over to offer incense every morning and evening.

Seeing that there were still more than ten days of summer vacation to end, I was wondering when Uncle Hong planned to teach me spells, and I couldn't go back to the village every day when school started, so I asked Uncle Hong.

Uncle Hong called me up to the room on the second floor of his house where the statue of Chiyou was furnished, and after casting a spell on the wound on my shoulder, he took out a few old manuscripts from behind the statue and handed them to me, and said to me: "Spells are not so easy to learn, and you can't speak Miao language, read these books first, and then talk about it, if you don't understand it, you can ask me." ”

I carefully opened the top book, and I didn't know any of the dense tadpole characters written in it, but when I looked closely, I found that the lines of tadpole characters were lightly written with a pencil. Uncle Hong explained that now the Miao family can only speak Miao language, and there is basically no Miao literacy, so they use homophonic methods to mark it with a man, so that I can read it.

I asked Uncle Hong what the content of these books was, but Uncle Hong didn't say, but just asked me to read it well, and strive to memorize it before the start of school, and I must continue to be familiar with these mantras in the future. I said that I didn't understand the meaning of these scriptures, just reciting the transliterated Chinese characters, how to memorize this, Uncle Hong smiled and said, "This is easy to do, if you don't learn it, it's over." After saying that, he went downstairs to drink tea by himself. I froze and frowned.

Time flies, school is about to start in two days in the blink of an eye, and I pack my clothes in my room. The students of the county high school are basically the children of several nearby villages and county seats, and less than half of the families who are willing to let their children go to high school are actually less than half, and at this age they basically have to work at home, and some are even preparing to get married and have children, so the school is not big, and the students in the three academic years of high school add up to more than 300 people, so there is no dormitory. When Uncle Hong asked me to go to school, he went to his son Uncle Xingguo's house to sleep at night, and I was actually reluctant in my heart, because of the previous incident with Sayuri, I was afraid that Uncle Xingguo would resent me.

The day before school started, Uncle Hong sent me to Uncle Xingguo's house, and it seemed that my scruples were too worried. Uncle Xingguo is very enthusiastic about me, and Sayuri is very happy, and even clamoring to sleep with me at night, Sayuri is childish, but her mother, that is, Aunt Xingguo, is unhappy, and pulled her away to let her not talk nonsense. Uncle Hong solemnly said to Uncle Xingguo and his wife that he was already his apprentice in the eighth year of junior high school, and he wanted Uncle Xingguo and his family to treat me well.

Uncle Xingguo smiled and said, "Abba, you are really good!" In the past, Uncle Yin used to sell herbs in the county, and often gave some to me, and besides, this eighth year is not someone else, they all grew up watching, can I still treat him badly? Uncle Hong nodded when he heard this, but I saw that my aunt was silent with a black face on the side, and I thought that my aunt might not be very happy.

That night, Uncle Hong asked me if I was familiar with the scriptures I had memorized, and I smiled and said that I still memorized all of them, not to mention a few books, and then gave me a period of grace. Uncle Hong didn't say anything, so he asked me to memorize all these scriptures within a month, and he would test me in a month.

Uncle Hong has stipulated for me that I will go back to Heishizhai Village once in half a month, in addition to incense to my grandfather, uncle and my mother, it is also to teach me spells.

The next morning, Uncle Hong was going back to the village, and before he left, I promised him that I would memorize those scriptures within a month, and Uncle Hong was satisfied, and then drove the donkey cart away, and I also went out to report to school.

This year's first year of high school came to register a total of more than 80 people, divided into two classes, more than half of my classmates in this class are from Hongyan Shangzhai Village, they are very familiar with each other, and a few I know are in the next class, our village seems to be the only one, maybe because our village is poorer than others.

In the first class of the new school, everyone introduced themselves, and as soon as I finished introducing myself, I heard a tall and thin male classmate next to me ask me, "Are you from Heishizhai Village?" Do you know Gen Yanuhong? "I said of course I know, he lives next door to my house, I thought to myself that Uncle Hong often casts spells to exorcise evil spirits and cures evil diseases to people in the surrounding villages, and it is not strange to know Uncle Hong, but after he asked, it attracted the attention of the surrounding classmates, resulting in a large group of people surrounding me after class to ask this and that, and the pride in my heart spontaneously arose.
