After knowing this, the village organized everyone to donate money to repair the grave of this corpse, basically, everyone donated some, and the day they buried him happened to coincide with the first flowers of early spring.

Finally, the police from the Public Security Bureau accompanied the master to see the place, just by the stream, where a small locust tree had just grown.

The master came over to talk about it, thinking about it, because he wanted me to go and see the tragic thief before leaving.

But I'm curious, why choose next to a locust tree?

Acacia, one of the four ghost trees.

For many years, the people have been taboo about this, and besides, how dare such a person who died in vain bury him next to the locust tree?

After waking up from my last sleep, my grandfather's attitude towards me was inexplicably much better, and he came to the house and came to see me.

Dad didn't know what was going out temporarily, Mom was cooking porridge for me outside, and the husband who pretended to be Ye Zhiqiu was called to help serve the rice, and the father lit the tobacco leaves in the small pipe, sat on the chair next to the bed and asked me with a smile: "Why did you poke this thing out in the first place?" Do you know that this will cause me some problems as well. ”

I lazily replied, "But it also brings a reward, isn't it?" At least you got what you lost back. ”

Ning Zhiyuan couldn't help but nodded, this is simply a great reward, but unfortunately, it came a little late, at least, it untied the knot in his heart for many years, and it also proved that the master was not wrong, but there was some accident, and no one thought of it.

"Actually, I didn't think about it. I just want to be a simple narrator, to tell you that there was a time in this place where a young life came and left in such a tragic way. ”

Ye didn't speak, just looked at me.

So I continued: "Of course, I understand that after so many years, no matter what kind of murder it is, it cannot be legally filed, but I think we should at least fear the departure of one life, and try to explain it."

In particular, he left in this way.

How can it play a role in warning future generations, I also want to tell you about it.

This is the memory that belongs to the old locust tree, maybe that ordinary stream.

It doesn't make sense that those memories that we have forgotten only let the rivers and mountains remember. ”

Ye shook his head, took a puff of the old cigarette in the cigarette stick, closed his eyes with enjoyment, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and said: "You are too entangled, but such a thing, whether you remember it or not, will not have any impact on everyone's life, and you will not have any reward for your hard work." ”

I nodded: "Running around and toiling is nothing more than a ritual to send the dead to life.

I think it's a matter of course, we are born as human beings, and we must do something to repay the gifts of this world.

So, there are people who serve the living, and there are people who happen to serve the dead.

Living people in the world, if they can't go their way, they will also hold back a fire, and then find a suitable point to burst out.

Are dead people stupid?

Sometimes, retribution is not not not coming, it is just trying to give you a chance to atone for your sins, and perhaps even more anger is brewing. ”

Outside the window, the moon was slanting, and the lord seemed to be preoccupied, his eyes were always looking ahead, silently, still smoking his cigarette, sometimes wrinkled and wrinkled, as if he felt incomprehensible, and sometimes stretched his face, as if he understood the mystery of these words.

I continued: "I've thought about why I chose to do this.

I don't think a person, from birth to death, can be regarded as a complete life.

At the very least, there must be one person who can narrate his life, so that a person's complete life can be constituted.

It's like, when a person dies, he has to leave an epitaph.

Death is not the end of life, forgetting is. ”

The more he talked, the more energetic he became, and the gentleman came over with the porridge, tapped my forehead with a free hand and said, "Fool, how can there be so many life and death, no matter what you do, you just have to be worthy of your heart and do what you want."

People, being vulgar is like living a life. ”

While talking, my husband was idle in his hand, pulled the quilt for me, and wanted to feed the porridge to my mouth one by one, although I wanted to be obedient, but as soon as I smelled the food, my whole chest was dry and stinging, and I didn't want to eat a mouthful.

So don't start.

"Well, eat a little, so that the spirit is always better." For the first time, my husband's usually gentle and calm voice was heard with a hint of confusion, and he gently stroked the sideburns around my ear, and the movements were soft and intimate.

I was rejoicing until I ...... He brought the bowl and spoon of porridge to his mouth, and I had no choice but to force myself to open my mouth, and I swallowed all the porridge without chewing.

It was like swallowing a mouthful of mud, and I wanted to spit it out, but I was afraid that everyone would worry, so I swallowed it back alive.

One bite at a time, I swallowed a small half bowl of porridge one after another, and my husband stopped feeding me, helped me lie down again, and put down the remaining half bowl of porridge.

The gentleman just left. "Smack!" Ye suddenly clapped his hands, all the wrinkles on his face were stretched, and his face was much lighter, as if he had broken through something, bringing hope to his whole body, making him on the verge of exhaustion, and those hopes in his heart began to swell and sprout like soybeans soaked in water.

"You know what? If you are a boy, I will fight for this life to save you, and I will hand over everything to you, so that you can keep this family inheritance. Ye said to me with a little pride and a little regret.

"Why can't girls?" I asked him puzzled.

"Of course not, the girl will go to someone else's house in the future, she is from another family, and you don't have to wait for the future, soon, it will not be the Ning family, it is really the bride chosen by the mountain god, our Ning family can't keep you." Lord sighed.

"What?" I don't understand.

"Haha, didn't your parents tell you yet?" Ye smiled and looked at me.

I shook my head.

At this time, Dad and Mr. walked in from outside the room, and Dad said as he walked inside: "Dad, I have prepared all my things, and the children's clothes and shoes have been packed up, and I can leave early tomorrow morning." ”

"Hmm!" Ye nodded.

Dad moved a chair and sat on the edge of the bed, not speaking, just looking at me stunned.

"I have something to do outside, so I'll leave first, and I won't send the little girl up the mountain tomorrow, so as not to be sad, let's see you again if you have a chance." Mr. said suddenly, I just remembered that he is still holding Ye Zhiqiu's identity.

"You're leaving again?" I reached over and pulled him.

"Good, see you next time." He smiled lightly.

Reluctantly, but still nodded obediently: "Okay, you go." ”

"Don't mess with your brother, how well he usually treats you, but he can't bear it this time." Dad said on the side.

"What the hell is going on? What am I missing? ”

"Ahem...... Ye cleared his throat and said, "I don't know if you've heard of it......" Ye Hua didn't finish speaking, and Dad took over the conversation and said: "How could she know, and no one told her." ”

"Don't have a long brain, Lao Tzu just said that, what are you doing like this? I'll tell her, don't interrupt me. ”

"This is a long story.

You know, since ancient times, there have been rumors in this world, some capable people and wise men, maybe the career is not smooth, maybe the blow and torture, all things disturb the heart, so they see through the red dust, retreat to this mountain range, but spread a good story legend.

But most people ignore that there is a kind of people in this world, and they do not avoid the world for the sake of these mundane worldly things.

Huh! When I say that, you don't think too lawlessly.

They are all ordinary people, they can't call the wind and rain, and they can't overwhelm the mountains and the sea.

Just for the sake of tranquility, so a couple, in order to concentrate on the study of knowledge, or their own professional technology, so that there are not a few, they can enter the world chic, vigorous, live a wonderful life, retreat can also be content with poverty, in this mountain range, live out of the wind and frost noble, pine and cypress proud, the posture is like mountains and rivers, majestic, Zhong Lingyu show.

For example, back then, my master, although not very good, but also quite famous, the world is ordinary, who dares to look at it, maybe his old man also has a way to save you, but unfortunately the old man has passed away for many years.

But it's also your good fate, when I first entered the master's door, as the master's closed disciple, someone came to congratulate, among them there was a gentleman, plain clothes and white clothes, it seems, the age is only twenty or thirty, the two of them play chess and watch tea, the master always respects this person, and respectful.

Later, in private, the master told me that the man was a man of insight, and it was rumored that he had reached the Yin and Yang worlds since he was a young man, and often wandered along the banks of the Yellow Spring. He was able to receive the information conveyed by the consciousness of the land on the mountain, so as to predict natural disasters and avoid evil, all of which were inaccurate, and some people once called this a miracle, and compiled a book based on it, saying that it would be passed down from generation to generation.

The most wonderful thing is that when my master died, I went down the mountain alone, and I met him again on the way, I have grown from an ignorant boy to a young man, and the years seem to be extremely tolerant to him, he is still the same face and the same clothes as a few years ago, and even the open-minded demeanor between his eyebrows and eyes has not changed at all.

He said that I have at least one side of relationship with him, but since then, until today, I have never seen him again, I used to think that it will be the day when I return to the world in a hundred years, he may come to see me, now I think about it, it should be this time.

It's incredible, I didn't even think about marriage at that time, but I didn't want to, he predicted that you would be in trouble.

It shows that he values you, and if he says that if you can see you, then you will definitely be able to see you.

If you see someone, please be kind and pleased, and he will surely turn things around and save you from the trouble of this hell's revenge. ”

I spoke for a long time in high spirits, and when I spoke, my attitude was calm and respectful, which was a demeanor I had never seen before.

"But, master, after so many years, he is the older of you, this gentleman, is he still alive?" I can't help but ask.

"Nonsense, how can his old man take a fancy to you as an unscrupulous disciple, and the politeness that the school teacher taught you?" Ye raised his eyebrows, a little unhappy.

"Even if he is still alive, but the mountain road is walking, he remembers the agreement of decades ago, did he come all the way to meet us in the mountains with a fake chance, and when he saw us shocked, he would definitely take me as a disciple and save my life? What kind of logic is this, I am not afraid of osteoporosis of the old man, in case of a fall on the road, it will not take ten days, the old and sick will urge each other, or I will return to the west with my life, but I still have to support this broken body for his funeral and funeral, in case I can't eat, I go with his old man, but the underworld can be a companion. "I said it frankly, it seems that after giving birth to this illness, I have been pampered a lot, and my temper is also a lot more domineering.

But I really think that these words are always illogical.

"Who told you that the old gentleman is going to accept you as an apprentice, and you are a girl's family, you dare to think that the reason why I asked your parents to agree to entrust you to others is because you have this disease, not only to cure your body, but also to train and train your temperament, and the next time you commit it again, the emperor will not dare to rescue you.

The nature of the country is easy to change, of course, it takes a long time of discipline, that gentleman is kind-hearted, if he agrees to save your life in the face of the old man, according to his personality of good beginnings and good ends, he will definitely adjust your temperament, and treat you more symptomaticly.

But if you want to let people discipline you with peace of mind, at least you belong to others, if you want to beat or scold, it's all up to others, besides, ask someone to save your life, you have to show sincerity, right? ”

I reflexively wanted to refute it, but I couldn't think of anything for a while.

At this time, my father, who had been silent for a while, suddenly said: "Actually, this gentleman's person, your father and I have also seen it, it will not happen that you are worried about those situations, he will save you." ”

"What?" I asked at the same time.

Immediately, the master said: "When, why did you never say it?" ”

Dad smiled bitterly and said: "At that time, you didn't care about our life and death, when Cheng Shu was pregnant with a child, I won't say how the family was, everyone forced her to be a pregnant woman to carry water, and when she returned to the room, she screamed that her stomach hurt, and when she gave birth in the middle of the month, Ning Qiao was born with a dying breath, and Doctor Cheng said that I was afraid that it would not work, we couldn't help it, thinking that this child would be like this, but I didn't expect that at one or two o'clock in the morning, someone knocked on the door outside Dr. Cheng's house, opened the door and looked, It was a man in his thirties, he smiled and came into the house, and said: I know that this child is not very good, and I am afraid that you will deal with it indiscriminately and kill her, so I came here to save her life.

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked in front of the child, spread out the blanket wrapped around the child, stretched out his hand and patted the child's chest, but he didn't think that the newborn child would smile and his breath would calm down.

We originally thought that the great kindness could not be repaid, and when we were in distress, he only hugged the child for a while, and gave the child a nickname, called Nian Nian, so he told us not to tell us about it, so we went away in the night.

So we haven't mentioned it for so many years, but this girl's nickname was given by this gentleman. ”

After listening to his father's words, he was silent for a while.

"That's how I got my nickname." I sighed.

"Okay, have a good rest, tomorrow I will carry you up the mountain, presumably, that gentleman saved you once, and he will save you a second time, he treats you very well, and when you grow up in the future, you will also treat him as a reborn parent, understand?" Dad said.

"Then, in all directions, there are lofty mountains and low slopes everywhere, which mountain are we going to?" I asked.

"Hulu Mountain, it is rumored that there is a stone road on the mountain, find that road, walk along the road, you can meet him, this is what he told me back then." Ye said.

"What, Hulu Mountain? Is that place to go? Dad's face suddenly turned white, and his voice trembled slightly.

"So don't go tomorrow for the idlers, I'll take the guy, you carry the girl on your back, let's leave early, whether you can find someone or not, you must go out of the mountain before dark, otherwise something will happen."
