Fast forward two years.

When I was eight years old, it was summer, and it was really the season when the wheat was ripe at home.

At that time, there was no combine harvester, and the wheat was harvested manually with a sickle stubble by stubble, pulled home, and then found a wheat threshing machine, and several families worked together to beat out the wheat grains.

At that time, the wheat threshing machine was very primitive, heavy and very inefficient, and the wheat was not clean, always mixed with broken straw, so the beaten wheat had to be dried for a while, and then the wheat was raised on windy days, so that the wind could blow the broken straw away.

This year, my dad was very happy because he bought a second-hand threshing machine from someone else at a low price and brought it back to the village.

The threshing machine was placed outside the gate of my house, and anyone in the village who wanted to come to threshing wheat would give ten yuan, so that he could make a small profit.

However, no one thought that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, happiness and sorrow, and this wheat threshing machine almost killed my father.

It was when the neighbor's house was threshing, and my father was helping to stuff the wheat into the inlet of the threshing machine, which was a high-speed rotating iron wind wheel that screwed the wheat connecting rods.

Dad had an accident while he was stuffing the wheat.

He just stuffed the wheat into it, but he didn't know what was going on, and a gust of wind rose, and his sleeve was suddenly blown into the wind wheel, and the wind wheel twisted the sleeve of his shirt, and even his father's arm was rolled in, and there was a crisp sound of "click", blood splashed, and my father screamed, and the person fell.

Fortunately, the neighbor was on the side, seeing the opportunity and moving quickly, he rushed forward with an arrow and struggled to pull his father out.

At that time, Dad was in pain, and if the neighbors didn't help, the upper half of Dad's body would all be stirred into it by the wind wheel and shattered!

Dad was lucky to pick up his life, his right arm was almost not wasted, not to mention the meat, almost sparse, the bones were cracked, the doctor drove in six steel nails, and recuperated for more than six months before and after, before and after it was not broken.

Afterwards, we learned that why the original owner of the threshing machine wanted to sell the machine at a low price was because the threshing machine had an accident before and killed a person!

The owner felt unlucky and didn't dare to use it anymore, so he sold it at a low price.

The old people all said that if there is an unjust soul living in this machine, they will definitely find someone to die in their place, and my father is the new master, so he was hit by the unjust soul.

This statement made me, my father, and my mother all heard it creepy, and then remembered Chen Hansheng's words, I am a catastrophe and will not die, there will be a blessing, during the enshrinement of Liu Wei's tablet, he blessed, but the five elements of the ghosts found their father and mother, Chen Hansheng also said that his father hit the five elements and committed gold, so that he was careful of the knife and sharp weapons, and this accident was unfortunate.

Dad touched the spirit stone hanging around his neck, and said with emotion: "Mr. Chen is really a god, what he said is effective, this spirit stone saved my life!" ”

After speaking, Dad stared at the spirit stone on his mother's neck again, and said, "The old gentleman said that you are guilty of water in your life, you must not go to the water's edge, don't go to this spirit stone, lose it." ”

"Hmm!" My mother nodded, looked at me again, and said, "If it weren't for Mr. Chen, this disaster would have been used." He is blessed now. ”

This good fortune continued for another twelve years.

Twelve years later, I was twenty years old, I failed the college entrance examination, and I had been at home for two years.

It was still autumn, the ninth double ninth day of September, at noon on this day, I had dinner, returned to the back room to get ready to sleep, just sat on the bed, I heard a crisp sound of "pop", as if something was broken.

I was startled, and quickly looked around with my face up, trying to find the source of the sound.

Finally, my eyes fell on the incense table under the north wall, where the three yellow incense sticks that had been curling with smoke were all extinguished at this moment.

It's not burned out, it's half there.

I couldn't help but have a premonition that something was going to happen.

I walked to the incense case and took a closer look, and Liu Wei's tablet was neatly cracked from top to bottom, as if it had been split by an axe.

Suddenly, I remembered what Chen Hansheng said fourteen years ago: "I have Liu Wei's birthday here, you go back and make an immortal tablet, engrave his name and birthday, and place it in the inner room, three incense sticks every day, and worship every year." If one day, the tablet breaks on its own for no reason, it can be removed. At that time, he should have been full of grievances and disasters, and he was reincarnated. ”

"Hoo ......"

I let out a sigh of relief, staring blankly at the tablet, the feelings in my heart are complicated and indescribable, fourteen years, it was originally a yin and yang feud, but then it was like a brother who had been growing up with me, and suddenly it was really gone, and I always felt lost in addition to the strange relaxation.

This is liberation and bondage.

However, the tablet is going to be removed after all.

Chen Hansheng's words, I still fully believe it.

He is a strange person, and he is also the first person I admire in my life, and it can even be said that I admire the most, and his miraculous occult skills and unmatched demeanor are enough to fascinate me for the rest of my life.

It's just that in the past fourteen years, because of various things, I haven't seen him again. Not only did I not go to see him again, but I deliberately avoided even any news related to Chenjia Village, and my parents never mentioned it, no matter what, and didn't ask.

It's not that I don't have time to see him, it's that I don't dare to see him.

Why didn't you dare to see him? Just because he swore that poisonous oath.

If I do not become his grandson in fifteen years, if he lives, he will be struck by heaven. If he is dead, the coffin will be struck by lightning.

It's been fourteen years now.

My parents have never meant to let me go out, so how can I have the face to meet my savior?

Not only me, but my parents also felt ashamed of the Chen family, not only did they not go again, but they never mentioned it again.

People are like this, they avoid those they hate, and they tend to avoid those who are kind to them. Because, owing a favor is not a good thing after all.

Wrong!

I suddenly remembered that fourteen years ago, I hid in the west courtyard of the Chen family and followed Chen Hongde to spy on the situation in the Chen family's compound.

At that time, Chen Hansheng was gambling with his grandson Chen Yuanfang.

What to bet on?

Gamble!

Chen Hansheng bets that he only has ten years to live, and if he wins, Chen Yuanfang must enter the phase.

Now, the ten-year covenant has long passed, what about Chen Hansheng and others?

Is Chen Yuanfang in the picture?

I suddenly panicked in my heart, Chen Hansheng's physiognomy is exquisite, everything he says is like a golden rule, there will be no mistakes, he said that there are only ten years to live, then there should only be ten years to live.

If that's the case, he's been dead for four years?

No, I'll have to see him anyway.

Just go.

No matter how guilty you are, you have to go.

I first removed Liu Wei's tablet and incense case, and then rested at home for a while, and went to find someone at noon, which didn't seem to be the right time.

Besides, when you go to visit your life-saver, you must always bring something.

After the break, I washed up, dressed up, and rode my bicycle to the town store to buy some fruit and eggs, ready to discuss with my parents to see if I wanted to go together.

As soon as I rode to the entrance of the village, I saw a group of people huddled together in a chaotic manner.

I hurriedly stepped forward to see what was going on, and before I could get to the front, a person squeezed out of the crowd, it was the second baby who had grown up, and I shouted at him: "Xinqiu baby, what's the matter?" ”

Since that year, he was unrighteous and left me alone to run away, causing me to be evil for several days, and when I saw him, I scolded him for "believing in the ball".

This is the dialect we have here, that is, stupid, foolish, cowardly.

When the second baby saw that it was me, she trotted over and said, "Wu Yong, you are still watching the excitement, it was your mother who fell into the water and almost drowned!" ”

I first said "ah", then grabbed the second baby with my hand, and scolded: "You believe that the ball dares to curse Lao Tzu's mother? ”

"Really!" The second baby struggled: "The dog only cheated (lied) to you!" Go over and see, your dad is too! ”

I believed it, lost my bicycle, and rushed into the crowd, and sure enough, I saw my mother lying on the ground unconscious, wet and covered with mud and sand, and my father was pressing his chest to squeeze water.

I was so shocked that I jumped up and shouted, "Mom! Mom - Dad, what's wrong with my mom? ”
