After stomping his foot a few times, he couldn't scare the little yellow dog who suddenly jumped into the middle of the road and ran away, but instead shrunk even more, and my dad couldn't help laughing.

"Hey, what's the matter with you dog~ Bump porcelain, right?" As he spoke, he raised his hand again and made a gesture, but the little yellow dog remained motionless and barked even more pitifully, as if he had been cruelly abused.

Seeing that my dad couldn't get the puppy away, and talked, I suddenly came a little interested, got out of the car to see, only to see this "robbing the road and touching porcelain" little yellow dog curled up on the ground, full of vigilance to look at my dad, made a pitiful sound, and retracted his body vigorously, as if he wanted to stay away from my dad as much as possible.

Finding that someone got out of the car again, the little yellow dog suddenly became even more frightened, and after a bad look at me, his tail wagged gently, a little like begging for mercy.

The dog is the most common soil dog in the countryside, there is nothing peculiar, it looks like it is only two months old at most, covered in grass seeds and dust, dirty, and a little thin, it doesn't look like it ran out of someone's house nearby, and it doesn't look like it has a mother, and nine times out of ten it is a little stray dog that has been lost.

I can't help but think of the little yellow dog who spent some days in the store and was a legend of the "dog life", who lived with the human soul in the body, and was finally asked to go by the man named Liang Yu.

As soon as I thought of the past, my love suddenly overflowed a little, and I squatted down and gently touched the dog's head, so that the little yellow dog's fear was reduced a little, and after thinking about it for a while, I simply discussed it with my father.

"Dad, or if it doesn't want to leave, why don't you just take it home and raise it?"

My dad was stunned, and after reacting, he began to hesitate.

At this time, seeing that we didn't get in the car, the two grandfathers and my mother also got out of the car, and saw that I had the meaning of bringing the little yellow dog home, and after a deep groan, Grandpa Man said in a hurry: "Pigs come to be poor, dogs come to be rich, cats come to pull filial piety, your family just bought a car today, and there are puppies who take the initiative to come to the door before they go out of the city, which is a good sign, and they should be picked up and fed home." ”

When I heard this, my parents couldn't help but laugh a little.

Among my grandfather's generation, my grandfather can be regarded as an intellectual, with a more cheerful personality, able to speak, and a typical old naughty boy, so everyone has always been willing to listen to his words.

When we were very young, my family also had a dog, so there was no dislike at all, and the reason why my dad was a little hesitant was mainly because he had just mentioned the car and almost ran over a little yellow dog, and he felt a little unlucky.

It's normal to have this kind of thought, because drivers who drive all year round to make a living will be more taboo about these.

At this time, after my man's explanation, the knots in my heart were suddenly unraveled.

"Since Uncle Man said that it is a good sign, it must be a good thing, anyway, I have long wanted to buy a dog to go back to watch the house, but I haven't found time all the time, and it is naturally better to have my own run."

Seeing that my father smiled and agreed, I immediately stopped delaying, comforted the frightened little yellow dog a few times, and when its vigilance had subsided a little, I gently picked it up and returned to the car, and put it at my feet.

And after a short moment of uneasiness, the little yellow dog gradually began to grow bold, got up and sat down on the footpad, raised his head and looked at me curiously, and then looked at the others, his eyes black and refracted with a glimmer of light.

By the time I got home, the little yellow dog had already begun to get acquainted with me and dared to get close to people.

Knowing that the little guy had not eaten for some time, when he entered the house, he didn't care about anything else, but first found something to eat for him. Fortunately, the local dog is easy to raise, not picky eater, picked some meat from the leftovers in the morning, heated it with some leftovers, mixed it into a small bowl and put it in front of it, and then wagged its tail and ate it.

After a while, several uncles and aunts came over one after another, and after seeing the new car, they chatted and chatted, helping my mother to help and start preparing dinner.

Speaking of which, this little yellow dog is small, but it looks quite spiritual, after eating and drinking, it knows that this place will be its home in the future, and we who picked it up are all masters, and soon entered the role, fulfilled the duty of taking care of the home, followed me around the house and outside the house, every time a person came, he pricked up his ears and looked at each other with a wary expression, until I, or my grandparents and the other party talked, I was willing to relax my vigilance, and then shook my head to greet it.

Prepare the things, my father, a friend who usually works as a farmer and is a gentleman in his spare time, arrived with a friend who helped watch the car at the time, lit incense candles in front of the car, hung a red cloth sent by several uncles, and swept the car with a big rooster, two village cadres, Pan Guanglong, who had been cured of his back injury, and a few people who had passed through the affairs of Pan Guanghai and his wife, and helped build a house over there for a few days, the Pan family, who had completely mixed up, also arrived with a large roll of "earth red". With the crackling sound of firecrackers, gunpowder smoke rose on the road, which seemed to be very lively.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Master Wu and a fat man with a white face and bright clothes drove a BYD Tang DM to arrive, not only bringing firecrackers, but also bringing his own drinks.

As soon as I got out of the car, the fat man held my hands with a smile, saying that he didn't know that I was Master Wu's new friend, and there were many slackness, and I hope I don't take it to heart. After greeting for a while, after entering the house to meet my parents, I couldn't help but give a red envelope.

The fat man's surname is Feng, it is said that he and Master Wu have known each other since he was in elementary school, and he has had a good relationship for many years.

Such a "Buddha" would surrender his identity and take the initiative to come to my small farm courtyard to make friends, it is a little incredible to think about it, if it were not for Pan Guanghai's matter, I happened to get acquainted with Master Wu, I think I may not be able to contact this kind of person in my life.

After the two of them, some people from Lijiazhai and Panjiayuan came one after another, and when the meal was finally served, there were also full of five tables of people, who were noisy until nearly nine o'clock in the evening, and then left one after another.

Master Wu and Feng Shi left in the end, originally at the dinner table, everyone drank wine, only Master Wu, who claimed to be invincible in alcohol, drank less, but no matter how little it was, it was wine, so I moved, just leave them for one night, and wake up tomorrow with the idea of leaving, but the two of them didn't want to stay, and I didn't have to worry about it, to ensure that this little wine would not have an accident, so I had to give up.

After agreeing that I would visit the house another day to thank you, the two of them drove away.

For the next few days, everything was peaceful, nothing happened, and everything was within the expected range. The old man in the provincial capital is still unreachable; In the mountain bay under the big mountain forest opposite Pan's courtyard, I also took the "Lishan Zhengqi Map" at night to the second time since the joint burial of Pan Guanghai and his wife; Xiao Qinghe still hasn't been able to find the trace of the strange soul that is suspected of being a puppet, and the hand hiding in the darkness still hasn't shown any signs of surface; Ever since I handed over the vial to Pan Changhong, I still haven't gotten any response, and I haven't seen the old wizard again.

Because he wanted to take me to get acquainted with the car, my dad pushed almost all the things that could be pushed away years ago, but he didn't stay idle at home all the time, so that I had a preliminary understanding of the car, and I sat in the driver's seat after feeling it a few times, and then took me to run on the road, explaining all aspects of knowledge and imparting experience.

People who are busy outside have begun to return to their hometowns, and the village has also begun to kill New Year's pigs and beat rice, and they are "catching pig tails" every day, eating from one house to another. In a few days, Li Lin will also come back for the New Year, and my father will also set the date of killing the New Year's pig on the day he returns home.

Just when I thought that the year was really coming in the midst of these unresolved matters, and that there would be no more changes in the previous year, the change finally came, again in a way I never imagined.

That night, at 11:50, just as I had a video chat with Zhang Xiaowei as usual, turned off the lights and put down my mobile phone, and was about to go to bed, the sound of firecrackers suddenly came from far away outside the window.

The sound of the firecrackers was not long, only about ten seconds, because it was a little far away, and it was not noisy, but it dispelled all the sleepiness that I had been brewing for a while, and I was completely awake.

The sound of firecrackers came from under the Pan family's courtyard.

"Is this ............?" Subconsciously looking at the window, I couldn't help but frown.

People in the countryside know that under the circumstance that there is no New Year's Day or no festival, this artillery battle is not intended to be fired, but it is just casually set off, but whenever there is artillery fire in anyone's house, there must be something going on.

Especially in the middle of the night, when artillery fire suddenly starts without warning, there is very likely that there is only one situation - someone in the family has passed away.

I don't know anywhere else, anyway, in our place, after someone in the family has choked their breath, the family not only has to burn the "inverted paper", but also needs to set off a string of firecrackers, which is intended to disperse the wandering ghosts who smell the "dead air" at the same time, and it also means to inform the neighbors in this way that someone in the family has passed away, please come and help handle the funeral.

"Has this old man passed away? But recently, I haven't heard of anyone who is seriously ill......" The brows became more and more furrowed, and a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in my heart.

As soon as I got out of bed and put on my shoes, I wanted to ask my dad about them, but I heard the sound of gunfire just now, but I heard my dad's mobile phone ringing from their bedroom, and then I vaguely heard him start answering the phone.

"Hey, Third Master Pan? I've been asleep for a long time, I've slept well, and I've just woken up...... What the? Grand Duke Pan passed away? ……”

I didn't pay attention to the rest of the content, and the moment I heard the words "Grand Duke Pan passed away", my heart began to sink.

Doesn't it mean that it's just that when you're tired, you'll get better after a period of recuperation? How...... Passed away suddenly?

It wasn't until there was a knock on the door that I came back to my senses from my thoughts, opened the door, and my father, who was wearing a coat, said to me in an obviously incredulous tone: "Niannian, the Grand Duke Pan of the Pan Family Courtyard has passed away, and the third master of Pan asked me to tell you." ”

I nodded my head to indicate that I understood, and then sat back on the bed and began to be in a daze, still unable to recover from the news, which was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

Since he came back from the mountain to preside over the relocation of the grave, although the old wizard has not shown up again, his eldest son Pan Changhong has always appeared, when he died at Pan Guanghai's house and helped his mother build a house, Pan Changhong also came to help for three days, and people asked about the old man's physical condition, and he repeatedly said that there was no big problem, and he would slowly recover after a period of time.

If so, why did he pass away all of a sudden?

Could it be that since he returned home, the old wizard's situation has been very bad, but Pan Changhong didn't tell the truth?

"Niannian, what's wrong with you?" At this time, my mother and grandfather who heard the news also got up, and saw me sitting in a daze, and I didn't squeak for a while, so I had to ask with concern.

I hurriedly raised my head and said that it was okay, but I felt a little sudden, how could Grand Duke Pan pass away?

Until now, my parents still only know that I have had several contacts with Dagong Pan, and they are quite concerned about him, but they don't know what happened to me and this respected old man.

Seeing that I finally began to wake up, my dad thought about it, and said earnestly: "Niannian, Pan Dagong is a good person who has done good deeds all his life, and this time you came home, after seeing you, he was quite happy and cared about you, now that he has passed away, then he should go over and take a look, Pan Sanye let me tell you, in fact, this is what it means......"

I was slightly stunned, this is really sober, and after nodding hurriedly and saying yes, I hurriedly got dressed.

Anyway, this old man is now deceased, it can't be a joke, it's useless to think about it anymore, and it is true that he should go over and see it anyway.

After getting dressed and putting on shoes, seeing that we were going out, we had already taken a bath, and the little yellow dog "Huanhuan" who was nested in the corner of my bedroom was going out to play, and suddenly jumped up and down around me, shaking my head and wanting to follow, and after I refused, I honestly squatted on the floor to send us out, and stayed at home with my mother.

My father and my father just went out, and the man who also got the news, also went down to the road with his uncle, and didn't say much, and after learning that everyone had learned the news of the old wizard's death, they rushed to the bottom of the Pan family courtyard together.

At the same time, through various means, the people who learned of the death of "Pan Dagong" also left their homes one after another, from different locations, to the same place.
