Chapter 1: I Don't Believe in Ghosts

Next Chapter

People in the townships, young and old, call them grandpa and third uncle, and even the village chief respects grandpa very much. But in my opinion, grandpa is like a god in the movie, any family in the village will come to grandpa if they have incurable diseases, but it is strange to say, the county hospital and even the city hospital are helpless, and the grandfather will miraculously improve when he gets to the grandfather, but since I was a child, my grandfather didn't tell me this, and he didn't let me touch the things he dealt with.

Since I was a child, I had no intention of studying, and after graduating from junior high school, my grandfather sent it to a martial arts school in a neighboring city, which is also in line with my strengths, at least I don't have to read and write every day.

But it's strange to think about it, seeing grandpa have nothing to do every day, except for farming, there is no other income, and helping the villagers solve incurable diseases has always been a penny, relying on grandpa alone, where is the money for me to study, and the young people in the village like my size are working outside all the year round because of their poverty, and only during the New Year and holidays will they come back to see the elders at home.

The village chief is called: Chu Zhengbang, he has a small engineering team, and most of the surrounding towns and towns will ask the village chief to take people to build houses and yards, and occasionally receive work from the county.

Unfortunately, the village chief's son: in early winter, he was lazy since he was a child, and he barely mixed up a high school Chinese certificate to go to a big city to study at university, and the university was also paid for by the village chief's family.

My parents left home when I was very young, I didn't have much impression, I have been dependent on my grandfather since I was a child, I have always been at ease with my grandfather, I also asked my grandfather why he left, and my grandfather said that it was because the village was too poor, and my parents wanted to earn money outside, but they never came back as soon as they left.

Although I don't have any ambitions, but I have a conscience, I won't abandon me and my grandfather like my parents, so I got a graduation certificate in the martial arts school, and returned to this small mountain village, for which my grandfather scolded me, and ignored me for several days, my grandfather has been strict with me since I was a child, and the doting of the older generation has no shadow in me at all.

Since I was a child, my grandfather let me run and jump, meditate on the stump and practice martial arts, and from time to time he also threw me alone in the deep mountains and old forests, only gave me a knife to let me survive alone for a few days, and when I arrived at school, I knew that this was called wilderness survival training, but now I think about it thanks to my grandfather, if it weren't for the physical fitness I have now, I would not have been able to win the first place in the annual martial arts competition of the martial arts school.

I have been staying in a small mountain village before, as far as the town to study, during which I have not seen anything in the world, until I entered the school, I have seen more and found that with my grandfather's skills, no matter where I put it, I am definitely one of the best masters, although I have been living under the same roof with my grandfather since I was a child, but my grandfather is like a mysterious person to me many times.

When I was three years old, my parents and grandfather took me to the small mountain village, but my parents left only half a year later, and I have not heard from them since. I only know that my father's name is Du Hongyi, and my mother's name is Zhang Xiaolan.

Let's talk about my grandfather, my grandfather's name is: Du Chengfeng, the third oldest in the family, there are two sisters, but there is no connection between grandpa and the two sisters, I asked, but grandpa looked serious and didn't say much, so I didn't dare to ask again.

According to my grandfather, my grandmother died when I was two years old, and then my grandfather took me and my parents to the village to make a living from farming, as I grew up, I also felt more and more mysterious grandpa, when I was in school, I saw a lot of high-rise buildings, wide roads, and busy traffic, I wondered how grandpa found this small mountain village that was not even a road.

I am also strange, now the whole country is poor, we have no one to care, I left for two years and came back without any change, what is even more strange is that since I was a child, I have listened to the elders in the village talk about some gods and ghosts.

It is said that these things rarely happen since my grandfather came, but I don't believe in gods and Buddhas since I was a child, besides, I haven't seen any gods and ghosts after living for 20 years, and I also listened politely when the elders in the village talked about this, and then laughed ~

"Ziteng, you are in a daze here again, the sheep is lost, see that the third uncle doesn't spank you"

"Little girl, brother, don't you scream, be careful that I spank your ass" The one who spoke was the village chief's daughter Chu Xia, who was one year younger than me, and who had been fooling around with me and the village chief's son since she was a child, digging out birds' nests and taking loaches, and the slingshot played better than me, like a tomboy.

"Come on, come on, you're going to hit me, uh-uh~" The little girl grimaced and ran away.

Having said that, it's really a female college eighteen changes, although she is only nineteen years old in early summer this year, but she seems to have grown into a big girl, it is indeed a person as her name suggests, just like the beginning of summer, it can always give people a very comfortable feeling, there should be a place where you should have a convex and backward curvature, there is no trace of fat in the thin place, and the size has also jumped to one meter six eight, the eyebrows are clear, this will look like a rare beauty embryo, in this ten miles and eight towns is also a famous little beauty, the threshold of the village chief's house is about to be stepped on by the people who proposed marriage, but the village chief has rejected them one by one, said that the little girl had already set a baby kiss when she was three years old, and she knew that the little girl would be so beautiful, so she didn't treat it as a sister, hehe~

Being shouted by her also pulled me back from my thoughts, looking at the sheep in front of me, I couldn't help but laugh at myself, shook my head and stood up and drove the sheep home, remembering that when I graduated, there were several big bosses who asked me to be a bodyguard, and I casually opened my mouth with a monthly salary of 30,000 yuan.

"Grandpa" waited for all the sheep to enter the sheepfold, and I shouted home.

"Well, I'm back, the meal is on the table, eat it yourself, I'll go to the next village and come back later." Grandpa said as he got up and walked out the door.

Presumably it's some kind of ghostly thing, I don't bother to ask, I washed my hands and ate, looked up at the wall clock on the wall, ah~ It's 12 o'clock at noon, I think the little girl is here to remind me to eat, and my heart is warm. Anyway, this wall clock,It's the only valuable thing in the house.,I've been hanging there since I can remember.,Occasionally I really think we're not ancient~~Hey~.

"Third Uncle~" Halfway through the meal, Uncle Li's voice sounded outside the door.

"Grandpa is out~" I put down the dishes and chopsticks and got up to open the door.

"Yo, the little second dog is at home," Uncle Li outside the door said with a smile when he saw me.

"Uncle Li, you still call me by my name~" I reluctantly smiled and turned sideways to let Uncle Li into the house.

"Hehe, when I grow up, I will be shy, what's wrong with the little second dog, a cheap name is blessed, and it is easy to feed." Li Shu paced into the house and said with a smile.

Xiao Ergou is my milk name, the reason is as Uncle Li said, people in the village will give Xiao'er a similar name, what cats and dogs are not a few, I have not seen the world before, and I have no opinion on this milk name, but now it always sounds awkward, but it is nothing to call in the village, so I smiled and closed the door and poured a glass of water for the second uncle.

"Thank you, where did the third uncle go?" Li Shu took the water and said softly

"Grandpa said that he was going to the next village to run errands, and said that he would come back later, Uncle Li, do you have something to do with grandpa?" I sat down across from Uncle Li

Speaking of Uncle Li, his full name is Li Guodong, a literati in the village, a good handwriting, every household will come to him for Spring Festival couplets during the New Year's holidays, Uncle Li is also willing to help, and has an excellent reputation in the village, I will ask him if I don't understand anything when I am studying, he will teach him patiently, and my feelings for him are naturally very good, because my parents are not around, Uncle Li is like my father many times, and from time to time he will tell me some principles of life, which is completely different from my grandfather's strictness to me, Uncle Li is a little doting on me, As long as I go out, he will always bring me some gadgets, I think he may also treat me as a godson, because Uncle Li is over forty years old, but he has not married a wife and had children, and there is no child shrine under his knees, which may be one of the reasons why Uncle Li dotes on me.

"Oh, it's nothing important, just discuss with him about holding a celebration banquet for you the day after tomorrow." As he spoke, Uncle Li took out a cigarette and lit it

I was busy bringing Uncle Li a broken porcelain bowl and shaking the cigarette ash for Uncle Li, because Grandpa also smoked, this broken porcelain bowl was reluctant to be thrown away by Grandpa, and was used as an ashtray.

I came back to this matter, in the village is already a great joy, after all, no matter how I am a person with a diploma, because in addition to the two children of the village chief's family, the people in the village are basically Chinese, I was the first to go out to study and choose to return to the village after graduation, back for a week, the village has been visited by every household, of course, this is also related to the status of grandpa in this ten miles and eight townships.

"By the way, Uncle Li, I brought you two cigarettes and two bottles of wine," I said, and I got up and went into the back room to get them.

"Haha, count your Uncle Li didn't hurt you in vain." Uncle Li stood up happily.

Uncle Li doesn't have any hobbies, just cigarettes and alcohol, besides, there is no other desire to live in this small mountain village, I took out the things and handed them to Uncle Li and sat down to chat with Uncle Li, Uncle Li let me tell a lot of school anecdotes, about my giving up a bodyguard with a monthly salary of tens of thousands of dollars, Uncle Li also has a different view from my grandfather, and I will cover up a lot of regrets in my heart.

"It's gold, it shines everywhere." Uncle Li stood up and snuffed out the cigarette butt and said

"Is Uncle Li leaving?" I also stood up and asked

"Little Ergou~" Before the words fell, Grandma Zhang's voice sounded outside the door

I always feel like Uncle Li knows that there is someone outside the door

"Grandma Zhang~ is coming, coming," I hurriedly walked to open the door for Grandma Zhang

Although I have been away for two years, there are only a few dozen people in the village, and they are all very kind to me, and I will know who it is as soon as I hear the voice

"Little Ergou, it's really getting more and more handsome, wait for grandma to tell you a daughter-in-law" As soon as the door opened, Grandma Zhang said with a smile.
