Everyone has his own life, and life and death are up to heaven. No matter what happens in nature, there will be various signs more or less in advance, such as when an earthquake is coming, there will be animals scurrying, well water is turbid, etc., some can explain the cause according to scientific evidence, but some cannot explain it. And this kind of unexplainable thing often happens to people. When a person is about to die, there are certain special signs.

Liu Wuye has seen too much about such things. I have seen too many lives and deaths, and I have seen too many unbelievable things, but in the end, there are traces of any thing that happens. It's like a warning in the eye. The fifth master is away all the year round, and there are many people he meets, including miscellaneous and all walks of life. Because they often meet each other, they are naturally familiar, and if they meet someone with the right temper, they will have a better relationship, and even go to a place like a brother, run life together, and take care of each other.

It is said that the fifth master has such a brother, this person is called Wang Guoqing. He was born on the day of the National Day, and the people in the family had no culture at that time, so he directly gave such a name, his home is also local, not very far from our village, and it is also a hard life, this person married a daughter-in-law, but now the two are in their thirties, and there have been no children, originally had a son, but when he was a teenager, he suddenly got sick and died, and this matter became a nightmare that Qingzi has been lingering. Whenever he talked about it, he always shook his head and sighed and said, "Hey, it's all fate." "The family has less land, so there is a lot of free time throughout the year, and I have this craft when I was young, so I started this craft.

And the craft he plays is a scissor maker, which also belongs to one of the 'nine old and eighteen craftsmen'. This craft was more common in the countryside at that time, because the living conditions were not good at that time, many kitchen knives and scissors used in the family kitchen would become dull after a long time. It's a pity to throw away and buy new ones, so there is their business, which specializes in walking the streets and alleys to polish these utensils for others, and after their polishing, kitchen knives and scissors become very sharp, and they are more handy for daily use. Even in the modern countryside, you can occasionally hear "sharpen scissors, sharpen kitchen knives!" "Spread all over the streets.

This Wang Guoqing and Liu Wuye are close to age, and they usually walk the streets and alleys, and the work they play does not conflict, so they often run together in various villages and households, people are more realistic, with a high nose bridge, and the face looks very dark because of the wind and sun, and he doesn't like to talk very much, he usually likes to grin and smile, and under the background of this black face, a row of neat teeth looks extraordinarily white. The two of them have a very close relationship, the fifth master usually calls him Qingzi affectionately, and he calls Liu Wuye as a big brother.

It is said that it was the spring of one year, and the weather in early spring was still very cold, and the ground had not thawed, so there was still some time before spring sowing, and Qingzi had already come to the fifth master's house, and the two of them went out together. I want to take advantage of the fact that the season of ploughing has not yet arrived, and earn a little money to supplement my family.

Both of them packed up their belongings and set off. The fifth master walked in front with a pick, and Qingzi followed behind and came to a village. often runs from village to village, and the two are also familiar with each other. On the grounds of the village, each found a place, and all the things were arranged.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no business yet, Keiko came over and sat next to the fifth master, only to see him take out a pack of cigarettes from the inner pocket of his jacket, this pack of cigarettes may have been in his pocket for too long, and the box of cigarettes has been crumpled. Because of the limited living conditions at that time, most people smoked dry tobacco pouches, and it was rare to be able to smoke this kind of cigarette.

Qingzi said as she took it out: "Big brother, this pack of cigarettes has been in my pocket for a while, and I sharpened a kitchen knife for a rich family a few months ago, and the head of the household gave me an extra pack of cigarettes. ”

As he spoke, he handed it to the fifth master, "Take it out for you to smoke today, I can't get used to this kind of cigarette." ”

The fifth master was deeply surprised, because he knew Qingzi, although they had a good relationship with each other, but this Qingzi was an extremely stingy person, and it was very difficult to get something from him, and of course, this Qingzi never liked to ask for others.

The fifth master hurriedly excused himself, "Brother, this can't be helped, you can keep it for yourself." ”

Without waiting for Liu Wuye to finish his resignation, Qingzi stuffed the cigarette into the fifth master's hand, stood up and left, leaving only the fifth master with a surprised expression. Liu Wuye understood Qingzi's stubborn temper, so he didn't say anything, and put this pack of cigarettes in his underwear pocket.

It's also strange to say, there are a lot of people in the grinding family today, and after a while, Keiko's side was full of people, and everyone discussed the price with Keiko, so they put the things in front of Keiko and dispersed. But Liu Wuye didn't have any work here, Wuye smoked a cigarette pouch, and watched Qingzi's busy side.

The fifth master teased Qingzi: "Brother Qingzi, it seems that today's work has been done for you, I am your companion!" ”

Qingzi didn't speak, showing her row of snow-white teeth to the fifth master, and smiled.

It was also at this time that Liu Wuye glanced at Qingzi more. Because the position where Qingzi was sitting was not too far from the fifth master, the fifth master saw that there was a person behind Qingzi, to be precise, it was a child, this child was estimated to be about a teenager, wearing a tiger head hat, and his face was blurry and not very clear. I saw this child standing behind Keiko, and he didn't speak, just looked at Keiko directly.

The fifth master was shocked, thinking that he hadn't seen any children nearby just now. Quickly rubbed his eyes, and after a closer look, the child was gone, and he saw Keiko alone with his head down and grinding scissors. The fifth master wanted to tell Qingzi, but he felt that he was dazzled, so he didn't squeak.

It was noon while talking, and I was busy all morning, and the work was almost done, and it was time for dinner, and there happened to be a small restaurant in the middle of the village. The fifth master said, "It's time to rest, let's go, go have a bite to eat!" ”

Keiko took it in her mouth and began to pack her things. Because the fifth master didn't have much work, he finished cleaning up early and waited for Qingzi.

Then the two of them went to the small restaurant one after the other to find an empty seat. Keiko is a dull person, and she doesn't drink. Liu Wuye asked for a bottle of liquor by himself, and when the dishes were ready, he began to pour himself a drink.

At this time, Qingzi picked up the wine bottle and said, "Big brother, I don't know what's wrong today, I just want to take a sip, and I'll make an exception today and have two glasses with you!" ”

The fifth master was quite surprised, "How Qingzi, what are you happy about today, I remembered to drink!" ”

The fifth master didn't stop him, so he picked up the wine glass and filled it with Qingzi. Then the two of them clashed their glasses and drank them all.

Then Qingzi grinned and said to the fifth master: "Big brother, what kind of dream do you think I had last night?" ”

When the fifth master heard this, he was even more surprised, this Qingzi usually never likes to talk, even if he takes the initiative to talk to him, he usually says a few words, and basically will not take the initiative to talk to you. I don't know what's going on today. The fifth master was suspicious, so he replied: "What did you dream about, you can tell me." ”

Then Qingzi smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and said to Liu Wuye: "I dreamed of my son......"
