It seems that the bronze statue of the ancestor is not just a spiritual guide, a thing to suppress evil spirits.

But what else is there to do, it's not something I can figure out now.

Mentally, the overall feeling is not bad, although the night just passed, brought me great fear, and there was no feeling of mental prostration, in comparison, it was the physical strength of the abnormal symptoms of overdraft, after a while, I felt that I could no longer sit still, my whole body was shaking, with a faint pain in every joint, my hands and feet were as if they were not my own, and it was extremely difficult to command. From the straw mat to my bed, the distance of just a few meters almost drained the last bit of strength.

I didn't care about taking off my clothes and shoes, and I slammed my whole body into the bed, and fell asleep unconsciously. During this period, I was woken up by the forced cold once, and I laboriously picked up the quilt and wrapped it around my body, and kicked my feet indiscriminately, as if I had just kicked off half of my shoes, and then fell asleep again.

When I woke up from my slumber and felt that I had finally regained control of my body, I don't know how long it had been, and I still didn't have the slightest desire to move, so I opened my eyes and looked at the top in a daze. It wasn't until the phone rang that I lazily propped up my upper body and touched the phone with one hand to find that it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon.

The call came from my dad, and while I was sleeping, it had been called three times, more than an hour apart. As soon as I answered the phone, he asked me why I hadn't answered the phone for so long, was there something uncomfortable? I was relieved to learn that I hadn't slept all night last night and hadn't heard my phone ring.

Then I asked my dad, is there something wrong with the phone call after call?

"It's nothing, it's just that the stage of the general's grave has collapsed into the Xinyang River, we have already been there to see, so I want to tell you."

What the? The stage is still Shenjiang?

As soon as I heard my dad say that, I immediately came to my senses.

"Don't worry, it's just that the stage has collapsed, and nothing major has happened." Hearing that I was starting to get anxious, my father smiled and said.

What are you kidding, the old man went for three or four days and didn't come back, in order to prevent the stage from being sunk by the general's soul, but in the end it still sank, isn't this a big deal? So I hurriedly sorted out my emotions and asked my dad what was going on.

It turned out that half of the stage, which was built on the river, collapsed at dawn this morning. The three-day "General's Day" has ended, although the process is not smooth, but it can be done safely, so the stage is no longer needed, and the original plan is to start dismantling it today. But what people didn't expect was that they didn't need to do it anymore, and the stage would disappear by itself.

Since it was early in the morning, the sky was not yet dawn, and the stage and the surroundings were empty, so the entire stage collapsed and was swallowed by the river, and no one was injured, but the construction team and the organizers who set up tents and lived nearby were a little frightened.

In addition to the stage, other temporary facilities around the general's tomb, including the huge billboard on the hillside behind the road, all collapsed at the same time, and in the ensuing gust of wind, which made people unable to open their eyes, most of them were blown down the Xinyang River and swept away by the river, only the tents that lived in them were intact, and the rest were all damaged.

In the words of someone who stayed on the bank of the Xinyang River and experienced the gale, the gust of wind came very strangely and without warning. People just heard a loud noise from the stage, and before they had time to go out to check the movement, the wind blew, whether it was a mobile phone or an electric light, it was completely useless during that period, no matter how it could be lit, the sky and the earth were pitch black, and the wind was howling and shaking the mountains, just like the end of the world. Those who were more timid and knew something about it even cried, thinking that they had attracted the wrath of the general's gods and wanted to take their lives.

When the wind finally calmed down and the sky was already bright, and the people mustered up the courage to step out of their tents, they saw the scene mentioned above.

Only a few of the tents were intact, the rest collapsed and damaged, and some of the cars parked on the road were damaged by flying sand and rocks.

As for the stage in front of the general's tomb, it has disappeared completely, and it is said that not a single steel pipe or wood slag was left, and it was all swept into the surging river.

Although the movement was very big and the losses were quite serious, it was as if the incident had already happened, and the heads of several townships and counties had no choice but to accept this fact; after reacting, they rushed to the general's grave in the spirit of thinking about and doing good things for the good, and extended condolences to the frightened people, saying that in the face of natural disasters, the safety of the people's lives is the first priority, and that the disaster did not occur during the general's day, which is already a blessing in misfortune. Subsequently, the disaster was supposed to occur during the General's Day, and it was the general's gods who used their magic to postpone the natural disaster in order to protect the people from being harmed, and when the wind was raging, the saying that they protected the workers in several tents began to circulate in private, and it sounded quite promising.

I was relieved to learn that only those things had been swept into the river, and that no one had been injured in the incident, let alone killed.

In the end, the general's soul still did not forgive the act of fabricating his deeds during his lifetime, and even if the old man himself intervened, it did not make him completely change his mind. Life can not be accepted, but the stage must collapse, think about it carefully, and blame some helplessness and stubbornness.

Although I don't know the details, I prefer to believe that the sinking of the stage when no one is in the river is the result of the compromise between the old man and the general's soul, rather than the revenge of the general's soul when he is not paying attention. Since the matter ended in this way, it was time for the old man to come back, but when I asked about the whereabouts of the old man, my father did not talk much, and began to talk about him left and right, and changed the subject.

This is strange, it's not a big or small bit of a bad thing, it's just a matter of not returning for three or four days, why is it all over now, and I don't want to say it when I ask.

Didn't you just ask the old man if he had come back? This question is hard to answer?

Could it be that something happened that I don't know?

It must be like this, otherwise such a simple question, Dad would not have reacted like this.

So I hurriedly stopped my father, who was struggling and brought the topic to other places, and asked him if something was wrong?

was asked in a hurry, and my father had no choice but to reply: "Niannian, don't ask, your master is very good and the old man is fine, nothing is wrong, in short, you can study in the mountains with peace of mind, don't be distracted." ”

What are you kidding, when has this been, there is no news from the old man as soon as he is gone, how can I have any leisure to study?

Learn a hairy Xi!

Hearing that I was starting to be anxious, no matter how I made sure that the old man was okay, I didn't believe it, and my father couldn't help but feel a little helpless, and even began to sigh.

"Xiao Nian, you have to believe Dad, your master and his old man are really fine, nothing happens, don't worry about it, stay in the mountains to study, and be able to go home and live as soon as possible, the most important thing is that you have to be obedient and wait for the day after tomorrow...... Daddy will call you again. After saying this, my father hung up the phone directly, without explaining a word, and no longer gave me a chance to speak.

Such a strange attitude made me a little confused.

It took me a moment to react, and then I didn't bother to try to get anything out of my dad's mouth, so I dialed my mom's phone directly.

However, what is even more excessive is that in the past, she always answered her mother's phone quickly, but this time she called three times in a row, and each one rang so much that she automatically hung up and didn't answer.

At this time, I naturally don't be naïve to think that my mother forgot to bring her phone somewhere.

She deliberately didn't answer my calls.

After frowning deeply and thinking for a while with a serious expression, I gave up the idea of asking home about the situation and called the old village chief directly.

However, what I didn't expect was that even the old village chief didn't seem to have his mobile phone with him.

called Pan Changhong again, and sure enough, he "happened to not bring a mobile phone".

No one was willing to answer my calls......

After a moment of silence, I put on my shoes, rubbed my face with cold water, and took the little yellow dog down the hill to my home.

Everyone I could contact, including my mother, didn't want to listen to my questions about the old man, and they didn't even want to answer the phone in order to avoid the problem. If it's the old village chief and Pan Changhong, it's just that, and even the old mother who gave birth to me and raised me is like this, so I can't say it at all.

Something must have happened, otherwise it doesn't make sense that even my mother has such an attitude.

I was too lazy to pass by Panjiayuan, walked up along the canal, and came to the terraced fields directly opposite Lijiazhai, and then followed the mountain road down the river dam, crossed the Lijia Bridge, and then passed the place where the two thieves left their bodies and went to the road.

Back at home, only my parents were at home, not only the old man was not there, but even my grandfather was not there. Even though she knew that I would probably come straight to the house, the moment she saw me come in with a bad face, my mother was stunned for a moment, and then showed an unnatural smile.

"Niannian, why are you back?"

I was really in no mood to say anything more, so after glancing at my father, I said directly to my mother: "Mom, what happened, why didn't any of you tell me?" Master, where the hell is he? And what about grandpa? Just tell me, don't worry, no matter what it is, I can stand it. ”

My mother was stunned again.

It is said that the son is not the father, but the mother is not like this, no matter how it is said that it is the flesh that fell from the body, how can there be a mother who does not understand the child, so although I just have a bad face, the tone is not too problematic, the mother still saw it instantly, at this time I was very anxious, and even a little sad, so I was a little flustered all of a sudden, I only knew how to laugh, not to speak.

"Didn't I tell you, your master and his old man are really useless, you don't have to worry about anything, just concentrate on staying on the mountain and learning what your master passed on to you, don't be distracted by other things, why don't you believe it?" Seeing that my mother didn't know how to speak for a while, my father on the side put on a father's posture and said bitterly.

"But you won't tell me anything, and you won't even answer the phone, how can I rest assured?" I just feel that my heart is full of grievances, and if I want to be an outsider, I can't figure it out even if my biological parents have this attitude.

What kind of thing would be so serious that the family members and outsiders would be silent?

Seeing that my face and tone began to become a little unstable, my father couldn't help but sigh slightly, and then said: "It's not that we don't want to tell you, but there is really nothing to do, your master really has nothing, so you better go back to the mountain quickly, don't run home if you have nothing to do in the future, learn your master's skills as soon as possible, and inherit your master's mantle is the right thing to do, obedient." ”

"Where the hell did the others go?" At this time, I naturally didn't believe this kind of argument without any explanation, and my mind was full of pretending to be the safety of the old man, and I didn't realize that in just two or three days, my parents had changed drastically, and they didn't want me to go home.

Dad paused lightly and watched me silent.

Look, it's such an attitude, so how dare I believe that the old man really has nothing to do?

The more I was so secretive, the more I felt that something must have happened to the old man that I couldn't accept, so I couldn't help but look at my father with a sour nose and reddish eyes, and began to confront him.

Dad sighed again, turned his head away from my eyes, and remained silent.

Just when I was about to hide it and was so anxious that I wanted to ask out loud, the old mother on the side finally spoke, showing a somewhat sad smile and said: "Niannian, your master really has nothing to do, it's just that he and your grandfather went to the nearby mountains again, and they will come back later, so don't worry, Mom will get you something, and then go back to the mountain when you are full." ”

"Really?" When I heard that I was walking around the mountains with my grandfather, I couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"Of course it's true, what did mom lie to you." Mom smiled lightly.

I frowned, not believing my mother's words.

If I had just said this, I would have believed it, but I didn't say it until now, and I couldn't believe anything, even if the person who said it was my mother.

When I was contacted by their attitude, which seemed to not want me home very much, and couldn't wait to send me back to the mountains, I couldn't believe it any longer.

You know, although I have never expressed doubts about the old man's decision, and I support everything I say, but in fact, my parents don't want our master and apprentice to go to live in such a place that no one wants to go to so far, but they know that the old man's decision is for my good, so I have to accept it, so I can't wait to let me go back to the mountain now, which is undoubtedly a very abnormal behavior.
