75. The dead come back to avenge
Grandma He's funeral was very grand, after all, at such an old age, she was an old widow, and she didn't remarry, she had a very good reputation and was very respected by her father and fellow villagers.
We were arranged to a very remote table, originally this table was a spare table, and there was no one else, but after the banquet came in a hurry to a family of three, but these three are not parents with children, but a father with a pair of brothers and sisters, and the elder brother is the Ah Shi who helped us out of the siege.
Seeing them coming, Qi Tianyang moved his buttocks and said in a low voice, "There are so many tables, why do you have to sit here with us?" ”
I glared at him, "People are so kind to us, why are you so mean?" ”
Qi Tianyang pinched my thigh and complained in a low voice, "As long as you see a handsome guy, your eyes will be straight, and if you don't take me in your eyes, sooner or later you will have to cuckold me." ”
I snorted and laughed, and pulled him to sit next to Ji Sun.
The family of three told us to move the nest and said gratefully, "Thank you, thank you!" ”
Ah Shi looked at us and said with a slight smile, "Uncle Pole must be in a bad mood without his old mother, I offended you just now, I'm really embarrassed." ”
"He's sorry for us, why are you apologizing?" Qi Tianyang grinned.
That Ah Shi is a very rigid person at first glance, he has never met a person like Qi Tianyang in college, let alone his way of speaking, and he was stunned for a while.
"Brother, what are you meddling in? Uncle Pole's eldest baby became the village party secretary, and when the land was divided, it was a few points shorter than our family, but you are better with them at this time......" The girl who spoke was handsome, fair-skinned, and had no local flavor at all, but she was just a delicate and brutal spirit, and she was not a master to be messed with at first glance.
Ah Shi glared at her, "Ah Zhu! There was a funeral at Uncle Pole's house, don't mess around. ”
"Hmph, Uncle Pole was the one who took the lead in beating our grandfather back then, their roots are red, our family is a demon, and we have never been a person all the way." Ah Zhu was indignant.
Ah Shi was stunned by what she said, she didn't speak, she smiled proudly, and wanted to speak, but was scolded by the old man, "Ah Zhu! Why do you always run on your brother? ”
Ah Zhu glanced at the old man and pouted reluctantly, "Daddy, my brother doesn't want to do our family's work at all, he prefers to go to Beijing and Shanghai to study for a doctorate, why don't you force your brother to come back and learn from you?" I want to learn your skills so much, but what do you say about passing on men but not women, and daughters-in-law but not sons-in-law. ”
"Azhu! Can you talk less and go home and say no? Ah Shi was also annoyed by his noisy sister, and stopped in a low voice.
Qi Tianyang likes to watch other people's shows the most, seeing that this family of three is bickering, sitting on the side with his shoulders crossed and laughing gloatingly.
I pulled him before he put away his expression and deliberately tilted his head to the side.
Ah Shi smiled embarrassedly, "See ...... laugh"
I nodded hurriedly, "It's okay, Sister Ling is very lively and cute." ”
When I looked up, I saw Ah Shi Azhu's father's eyes fixed, staring at Qi Tianyang's face and looking at it.
Qi Tianyang also noticed his gaze, and his eyes moved, "You...... Seen me? ”
The old man hurriedly withdrew his eyes, "Impossible, impossible, I must have seen it wrong." ”
His words were inexplicable, and several of us looked at each other, all remembering that before Grandma He died, she saw Qi Tianyang and regarded Qi Tianyang as someone else.
"Uncle, does he look like someone?" Ji Sun asked.
The old man looked at Ji Sun, his eyes were a little resistant, because Ji Sun was wearing a mask on his face, and in order to cover the tattoos, he looked a little scary.
I explained, "He had a bad cold and was afraid of infecting people, so he wore a mask. ”
When the old man heard this, his expression softened, "Oh, that's it......" As he said, he looked at Qi Tianyang's face carefully, "Oh, although it's impossible, it's really too similar, too similar!" ”
"I ...... I'm like someone you know? "At this time, we seem to be close to a certain truth, and Qi Tianyang is the one who is most eager to learn.
"It's been too long, it was still when I was younger, maybe I remembered it wrong." The old man took a glass of white wine and took a sip of it, "Forget it, don't say it, don't say it!" Let's eat, I'm hungry. ”
After saying this, the old man stopped paying attention to us, and began to eat the food on the table with a gobble, Ah Shi smiled at us, "I'm sorry, my dad is like this." ”
Ah Zhu also pulled his face and began to eat, no longer speaking. Only Ah Shi had a ride and didn't have a chance to chat with us.
In the end, we learned that the old man's wife and Ah Shi Azhu's mother, in order to subsidize the family, opened a small inn at the entrance of the village for backpackers to live in.
Qi Tian's spiritual cultivation moved, "Your family opens an inn?" We're also here to travel, so we happen to be staying at your house, so give us a discount. ”
Ah Shi nodded again and again, "Yes, I'll call Grandma to clean up a few rooms and come out......"
After the banquet dispersed, we followed Ah Shi's family to his inn.
I didn't expect the small farmhouse inn to be colorful, quite flavorful, Ah Shi's mother is called Aunt Hong, at first glance is a very capable and thrifty housewife, after introducing us, because Ah Shi said that he was a friend, he was unwilling to accept our money, and finally we had to give up.
And Ah Shi high-speed we are surnamed Zhang, his father is called Zhang Jianjun, his sister is called Zhang Baozhu, when his grandfather was there, because he was a blind man, and caught up with the famine, he asked for food everywhere with a stick, and with a little ancestral skill of touching the bones, and later changed to fortune telling, and later Ah Shi's father was not blind, but he also learned this craft, and also learned some skills of looking at the face, but also very popular, married a daughter-in-law.
I remembered what Ah Zhu said at the table before, and I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Did you study outside before?" ”
Ah Shi nodded, "I finished my medical doctor at Fudan, and the school originally sent me to study in Germany, but my father pretended to be sick and deceived me back, and I had to learn this family craft......" As he spoke, he looked up at us and smiled helplessly, "I ...... I can't help it, my dad is very stubborn. ”
Qi Tianyang and I were all stunned when we heard this, "Is your father crazy?" Can you study abroad, not let you go, let you come back to tell people's fortunes?! ”
Ah Shi nodded with a painful expression, "My father said that my grandfather told him before he died that I must come back and learn this craft from my ancestors, so that I can protect myself, otherwise our family will face a catastrophe." As he spoke, he looked up and smiled bitterly, "Don't ask my grandfather why he said that, he pinched his fingers and counted, he believed in the things he counted." Hey, let's not talk about these troubles. ”
Ah Shi said, with a long sigh.
"Isn't Grandpa's count? When you were walking on the pedestrian street of Shanghai, if it wasn't for a phone call from your grandfather who asked you to move three steps to the middle of the road, wouldn't you have been killed by the flower pot that suddenly fell on the side of the road? If there is no such thing, you believe in your grandfather's divination technique, and you are a master's student in Fudan and will soon go abroad for further study, can you come back? At some point, Ah Zhu suddenly stood behind us and said quietly.
Ah Shi glanced at her in a panic, "Ah Zhu, when did you come here?" I, I'm talking to someone, why are you coming here and eavesdropping? ”
Ah Zhu pursed his lips, "I just want to hear what bad things you said to them about our father." ”
Ah Shi spread his hands helplessly, "You heard it anyway, I didn't say anything." ”
"I can warn you, since you have returned, it means that you have accepted your grandfather's hexagram, our family will encounter a catastrophe this year, and the man can withstand this catastrophe, I advise you not to think about your big Shanghai at dusk." Ah Zhu said, and then pulled his slippers and left.
Qi Tianyang looked at Ah Shi playfully, "Your grandfather calculated that there would be some catastrophe in your family, so that you even gave up the opportunity to go abroad?" ”
Ah Shi said in frustration, "When my father was still very young, my grandfather offended a person who could not be offended, and for fear of that person's revenge, he united with several other very powerful masters to kill that person together." But Grandpa kept saying that that person was very powerful, death was not the end for him, and he must have a way to come back and take revenge. ”
"Could it be that the dead man will crawl out of the coffin this year and come back to you for revenge?" I originally said this sentence with a mocking mentality, but after saying that, I felt a chill in my back, the resurrection of the dead, although this thing sounds incredible, isn't there such a thing happening around me?!
Qi Tianyang is a person who has come back from the dead!
But I thought of Ji Sun's words again, no, the time is not right, Ah Shi's father looks at least sixty years old, and when he was young, it was at least fifty or sixty years ago, when Qi Tianyang was not born, this matter cannot have anything to do with Qi Tianyang.
