Chapter 1: Comparing High and Low
I grew up living in the countryside with my grandfather.
Grandpa is a very strange person, he taught for a few years earlier, and he is full of great truths. In the seventies, he was criticized several times, and then he seemed to suddenly become enlightened, and he abandoned it, and replaced it with vulgar words full of 'father, mother and aunt', not only that, but his biggest hobby was to work against the people in the village, and no one in the village treated him well, saying that his brain was broken by criticism.
For example, there is a newborn child in the village who has a scar on his buttocks, and everyone says that this is the meaning of 'God-given dragon scales, sitting firmly in the country', and the grandfather will hold a cigarette gun and say coldly, "Give a bullshit scale, sit on a hammer mountain, it is a piece of psoriasis." ”
For another example, the blind fortune teller in the village collected money to tell the fortune of the old widower, and poked the old widower's forehead and said that the old widower was 110 years old and had a hurdle that he could not overcome, and the old man was so happy that he thought he could live 11 years old.
Grandpa passed by with a cigarette pouch in his mouth, and he would also say, "Poke your mother's head, poke your grandfather's head, live 110 years old and not become an old king?" You will live to be seventy, and in one hundred and one years your grave will be dug up, like a stupid donkey! ”
Grandpa because of these remarks, there are many conflicts with people, three days and two people with a hoe to my house to clean him up, but every time they come to my house, grandpa will go out early, let me watch the door at home, the village people can't find grandpa, so they can only give up.
Grandpa still went his own way, but most of what he said became a reality, the child did have psoriasis, and then the ringworm got bigger and bigger, and the family had to be sent to the health center. The old widower lived only seventy years, and it is not known whether his grave would be dug up.
Many of Grandpa's remarks were aimed at the blind fortune teller, cutting off a lot of his financial routes, and the blind man came to the door every once in a while with cigarettes and alcohol, asking Grandpa to leave him a way to live, but every time he was chased away by Grandpa with a broom.
……
When I was eight years old, the blind fortune teller came to my house again, and when he came, I was alone at home, and the blind man did not come to my grandfather, but to me, and when he came to the door, he first asked, "Is your grandfather at the house?" ”
I said no, and he dared to enter the house, and when he entered the house, he went directly to me, took out fifty dollars from his pocket, raised his hand and said to me, "Doll, if you can get these fifty dollars, you will give it to you." ”
When I was a child, there was no one who didn't like money, not to mention that fifty yuan was already a lot of money in the countryside, so I was naturally moved and asked him, "Really?" ”
The blind man said yes, and I immediately stood on my heels to get it, and when I was tiptoeing, the old blind man suddenly put his toes under my heels, and then his hand drooped down, and the money was directly covered on my forehead.
The old blind man gave me the money, retracted his foot, smiled and said to me, "When your grandfather comes back, you will let him come to my house with incense." ”
I rejoiced in the fifty dollars and answered his words.
It was almost evening that day, grandpa came back from outside, I was going to tell him about it, but before I could say it, grandpa threw away the hoe in his hand and rushed to me in three steps and two steps, stretched out his hand and lifted me up directly, staring at me with tears in his eyes, "Dog, where is your fire?!" ”
I didn't understand what he meant, and only after he put me down did I tell him about the day's events, my grandfather frowned when he heard this, and I asked him curiously, "Why did the blind man let you go to his house with incense?" ”
Grandpa first turned around and went into the side room to pick up a broken box, took a book that was about to be turned over and gave it to me, let me read it word by word, answered my previous question, and said, "This is called 'higher than high and low', holding an iron weapon to the door is a provocation, indicating that his ability is higher than the other party; After Grandpa finished speaking, he squatted down and patted my leg, motioning for me to lift my leg, he then took off my shoes, I leaned forward to look, and was surprised to find that there was an extra cyan mark on my heel, and before I asked, Grandpa said, "Man is a lamp, three fires on the top of the head and shoulders, and these three fires will burn when you are connected to the earth, you are fascinated by money, the fire above your head has been extinguished, and he stuffed something under your heel, which cut off your earthly energy." There is no rice in the pot to scold the man, there is no oil in the lamp to burn the twist, what you are burning now is the twist, the twist is burned is the oil is exhausted, and after the oil is exhausted, someone will come to take you away, and you can't live if you want to. ”
Grandpa's words startled me, and I hurriedly looked down to check, and said in a panic, "What did he stuff in my heel?" ”
Grandpa scolded and said, "If you see it, you'll be scared of your, pee, and fart." Donkey Qiuzi asked Lao Tzu to come to the door to beg for mercy, don't even think about it, he used to just lie to people, but now he dares to hurt people. "After that, my grandfather asked me to sit in the hall and read the book, which was full of demons and monsters, and I probably understood why he was criticized back then.
Grandpa said that in ancient times, there was a rule called 'respecting the word paper', not respecting the word paper, just like not respecting the gods, and there was a rule called 'Lei Gong does not beat the chanter', I was reading a book, even if the king of Hades Lao Tzu came, I had to wait for me to put the book down before he could arrest me.
I saw it until almost twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and I couldn't stand it anymore, but every time I was drowsy, my grandfather would knock on me, and I had to force myself to continue looking, and my grandfather also took out two peachwood sticks from the box, the size of which was about the same as a rolling pin, one of which was written with the words 'Marshal Meng Meng', and the other was written with the words 'Marshal Zhu who fought evil spirits'.
I asked my grandfather, "What are those two sticks for?" ”
Grandpa said, "Ghost sticks, one is used to beat demons and monsters that harm people, and the other is used to beat crooked side doors with improper mental skills." Grandpa said and picked up the rolling pin that said 'Torture Ghost', took it in his hand, and beckoned to me, "Let's go, pee." ”
I thought it was my grandfather who was in a hurry to urinate and wanted me to go with him, but I also had some urgency, so I got up and went out with my grandfather, and I was going to go to the thatched house, but I was stopped by my grandfather, and as soon as I went out, I pointed to my feet and said firmly, "Pee, pee on my feet." I screamed, and my grandfather knocked me on the head, "Pee!" ”
I don't know what grandpa wants to do, but I've been afraid of him since I was a child, I didn't dare to resist, I took off my pants and urinated on my feet, grandpa looked at it and laughed, "Your grandpa and I can pee three feet away in the wind, you are a young man with this ability......"
My feet were quickly soaked with urine, I felt a little nauseous, and I was about to ask him why he was peeing on his feet, when I suddenly heard a 'huh' sound behind me, the voice was full of disgust, and it was a woman's voice, which startled me, and I hurriedly looked back, but there was nothing behind me, and suddenly I felt my heel drooping down, as if something had been pulled under my heel, and hurriedly said to my grandfather, "Grandpa, there is someone behind me." ”
Grandpa picked up the rolling pin and stared straight behind me, and said in a calm voice, "I know." Then he waved a rolling pin and hit the air behind him, looking extremely weird, scolding while beating, "If you don't learn well at a young age, you learn to harm people, you are blind to this face, see if Lao Tzu doesn't beat you with your feet!" ”
As Grandpa kept beating the air, a woman's screams came, which was very weird, but I didn't see anything, so I hurriedly asked Grandpa, "Grandpa, what are you fighting?" ”
Grandpa was also tired, so he stopped and rested for a while and said, "It's this thing that just shoved your foot under your heel, don't stop Lao Tzu, don't stop her, Lao Tzu has to kill her today." Grandpa said and swung a few more sticks into the air, winking at me and roaring, "Don't stop me!" ”
I immediately understood, grabbed my grandfather and said, "Grandpa, or forget it." ”
This is all his old routine, when my father and mother haven't gone out, I heard my father say that he used to be naughty and grandpa beat him, he didn't want to fight, but he couldn't pull his face, so he would keep repeating to grandma to let grandma stop him, and then grandma would come to stop grandpa, and grandpa went down the steps.
I said this, and my grandfather really went down the steps, put away the rolling pin and scolded angrily, "For the sake of my grandson's face, forget it today, get out of me quickly." ”
