Lu Lingyun's car was sent to the town, and he heard that it was enough to be repaired a year ago, and he planned to take a bus back to Fengtian, but the villagers kept it again and again. I don't really want him to go.

In this way, Lu Lingyun lived in my house until Chinese New Year's Eve, and the gifts that should be given were almost the same, and the last one was prepared for the old aunt, a whole box of health products, supplements of various vitamins and two sets of red warm clothes and pants.

The old aunt is old, and these should be useful.

Her old man is 76 this year, is my grandfather's old sister, unmarried in her life, when she was young, she was told by the fortune teller in the village that she was the reincarnation of the great immortal, with a very high understanding, no one can marry, and she can kill her husband's family, and the old aunt has been delayed for a lifetime, but I don't know if the fortune teller is true, because later more and more people came to the old aunt to tell fortunes, and they all said that she was extremely accurate, and the villagers also gave her a nickname: Yan Xiangu.

Her old man has a higher status in the village than the village chief, and she is someone who knows my background, so I have special respect for her.

I didn't go to anyone's house for the New Year today, but I took Lu Lingyun to visit my aunt, she now lives alone in the old house in the west of the village, and there are never people in the house, I heard that in the past two years, many people have come from afar to find her fortune telling.

I pushed open the red painted iron gate outside the compound and walked in, a big yellow dog barked and ran towards me, I didn't panic and reached out to hug it.

Sanhuang is the kind of pastoral dog that I watched I grew up with, the bloodline is a bit mixed, the coat color is the kind of pastoral dog, and some like Labrador, the appearance combines the characteristics of the two dogs, and we are all called earth dogs in the village.

"Three Yellows... Three Yellows··· Think of me? I put the gift on the ground and grabbed its furry face and pinched it, and it was very happy, licking my face with its long tongue.

Lu Lingyun stood behind me and asked with a smile, "Why is it called Sanhuang?" ”

I avoided being harassed by the dogs and explained: "There used to be rhubarb and erhuang, but one died, and the other was stolen by the dog dealer and never came back." ”

He frowned when he heard this, I took Sanhuang back to the kennel, tidied up his clothes and took Lu Lingyun to the house.

There are five people in the main room, among them sitting in the center of the kang is the old lady, she is wearing a bright cotton shoulder, silver and white hair is tied into a blame, and there is a dark red chopsticks with a pattern on it, the old lady's face is ruddy and stable, although her face is a little wrinkled, but her eyes are unusually transparent and bright.

Sitting next to her was a middle-aged man in his fifties, I didn't know this person, and he should be an authentic countryman in his dress.

The others stood in the corner of the room, as if waiting for the man to leave.

"Fairy Gu, can you figure out where Juanzi has gone, and when will she come back?" The man's expression was slightly nervous, and his eyes were always fixed on the old aunt.

The old aunt looked at me and Lu Lingyun who had just entered the door, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and said, "I'm here, you guys quickly find a chair to sit on." ”

"Hey~~ Auntie, you're busy first, we're not in a hurry." I pulled Lu Lingyun and hid from a distance to watch.

The old lady nodded and stretched out her old hand, palm up, so that the man could put his hand on it.

She touched it thoughtfully for a while, and her face became more and more ugly.

"The woman you're looking for is coming back soon."

"Huh? Are you sure? Great, today is Chinese New Year's Eve Juanzi definitely doesn't want to spend outside. ”

The old aunt shook her head and continued: "Back is back, but unfortunately the wrong way to go. ”

"Fairy Gu, how do you talk about this?" The man was a little confused, but the old lady stopped explaining.

I stood up and walked up to him curiously and asked, "Who are you, Juanzi?" ”

He looked at me and replied depressedly: "Juanzi is my sister-in-law, her life is very bitter, five years ago my brother-in-law drank and drove home and had an accident, hit a big tree on the side of the road, the car broke down and people were gone, Juanzi's baby is still going to school in other places, she has to earn money to support the family and provide for the children to study, it is really difficult for her." In the first two years, she found a job as a cook on the construction site, and finally made up for the child's tuition, and last autumn she returned to Tieshi Village, packed up her things, saying that she wanted to live for a while, and one day I went to her house to find that there was no one inside or outside the house, leaving only a piece of paper, which said that she was going out to work again, and she would not come back for a while. I was worried about her and called her, but unfortunately the phone never worked. No, I was thinking about coming to Xiangu to ask when Juanzi would come back. ”

"And how often did she contact you before?"

The man thought for a while and said, "Three or two weeks, if I was busy working in the field, I would have had two months, but this time she left in too much hurry, and I didn't even say hello, and I felt uneasy." ”

Lu Lingyun walked up to us and listened.

The other people in the room seemed impatient, they were all waiting for the old aunt to tell their fortunes, and we were not working.

Lu Lingyun and I followed the middle-aged man out of the house to the courtyard and continued to chat.

This man's name is Zhao Baojun, and his sister's name is Zhao Baojuan, forty-five years old, both from Tieshi Village, not far from my home.

Lu Lingyun recorded the information and promised to help find it, Zhao Baojun thanked us very much, and took out a Hongta Mountain from the Wuling van he drove and stuffed it into my arms.

After seeing him off, we returned to my grandmother's house, and she sent the group back in the afternoon, leaving time for a conversation with me.

The old lady took my hand and dragged it to the kang, her old eyelids looked at Lu Lingyun a few times, and said: "The young man from the city has a good face, but unfortunately there is a disaster in the New Year, it is not easy to break..."

"Auntie, he is a police officer who doesn't believe this, how is your health this year, I bought you health care products and a thick shirt." As I spoke, I took my things and put them in front of my grandmother.

"Chengzi, you have to help him, if you don't help him, he won't have a good time."

"Mmmmmm, I know, I've been helping Brother Lu, auntie, you don't know yet, I have solved several cases."

My aunt smiled and took my hand, her calluses rubbed against my skin, and it hurt slightly, but I didn't resent it at all.

"When the child is older, fate has arrived, and the old aunt can protect you for one more day."

I couldn't quite understand her words, but the word fate made my heart beat faster.

"I know~~Old Auntie~~" hugged the old lady's neck, afraid that she would continue to say this.

We chatted again, and several groups of people came one after another to tell the fortune of the old aunt, Lu Lingyun and I could only say goodbye, on the way home, listening to the sound of whips in the village from time to time, the children ran on the village road, holding the cannon in their hands, laughing very happily.

"Brother Lu has never come to the countryside for the New Year, right?"

He nodded, looked at the children running past him, and said, "No, it seems to be more lively here, a few years ago, Fengtian forbade whipping during the Spring Festival, and the New Year's flavor faded." ”

"Yes, the rules handed down by the ancestors say that if you don't have it, you can't do it. After five o'clock, our family will celebrate the New Year with all the people surnamed Yan in the village, and it will be really lively at that time. ”

Lu Lingyun said with a little embarrassment: "Then it's not good for me to go." ”

"What's not good? You are my buddy, relatives are welcome. ”
