Chapter 14: The Door

Although in the past few days since I returned home, my worldview has been seriously baptized, but I was still taken aback when I heard the words of the third grandmother!

Fate! The third grandmother actually said that our Liu family's cemetery hit the life gate of the "half-life village".

"Three grandmothers! What is the Gate of Life? ”

"Everyone has their own destiny, and in the same way, each village has its own destiny, and in the village, the place where the feng shui and fortune of the entire village are left and right, is the life gate of the village!"

"Huh? And this kind of statement? Then according to what you mean, the lifeline of our 'Half-Life Village' is in the tomb of our Liu family? ”

"In this way, it is not completely accurate, it should be the location of the life gate of the 'Half-Life Village' that was determined first, and then your Liu family was buried here, not your Liu family was buried here, and this became the life gate of the 'Half-Life Village'."

"I see!"

The third grandmother took a sip of black tea and continued, "I heard your grandfather say that before the liberation, there was a large area of plague in the half-life village, and the children and the old people died a lot. ”

"But now men don't live long!"

"It's much better now, listening to the people of the older generation, before liberation, it was difficult for men to live past the age of forty!"

"Then why is it only our Liu family who can be buried here!"

"The old Taoist priest said, your Liu family's five elements are the main fire, the yang energy is the most vigorous, this 'half-life village' has heavy yin energy, only your Liu family can suppress this yin fire, so the Liu family can be buried here, but there is a condition, no matter how many brothers, only one person can marry a wife!"

"Why only one person!"

"Yang energy gathers in a person, does not leak out, and is buried in the right place!"

"But my grandfather is only one brother, didn't he also marry a wife?"

"That's not it!" The third grandmother shook her head, "Your grandfather still has an elder brother, but he died at the age of fifteen or sixteen!" ”

Oh, I have a sudden feeling that when my uncle was buried, it was not directly facing my grandfather's grave, but behind a smaller grave, could it be that I or even my father had never met my grandfather?

"But the uncle really didn't marry a wife!" I still don't quite understand.

"Humph!" The third grandmother sneered, "What is the truth, your father knows best!" ”

After the third grandmother said this, I heard sobbing, and my mother's tears fell like beads with broken threads.

"Dad, mother, tell me quickly, what's going on?" I shook my mother's body and shouted.

Dad took a few puffs of cigarette pouch and pot, looked at the third grandmother pleadingly, and stopped talking, I don't know what Dad meant.

The third grandmother glared at my father, "Hmph, don't talk about it now, when will you wait, do you want the whole village to become the funeral of your old Liu family?" ”

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Dad sighed, "Alas! Now, I can't hide it from you! ”

Then I tried to open my mouth a few times, as if I didn't know how to open it, and finally I mustered up the courage to open my mouth, but I squeezed out a sentence that made my jaw drop.

"Actually, you are not my son, you are your uncle's son!" Dad said slowly there.

"Huh? What, dad, what do you say? ”

"You are your uncle's son!"

I sat down on the ground with a thud, my head thundering, "What the hell is going on?" How could I be my uncle's son! ”

I set my sights on my mother, hoping that my father's words were just a joke.

The mother shook her head and bit her lip vigorously, "Your father didn't lie to you, you are really your uncle's son, and the belly pocket you turned out in your uncle's house is actually yours!" ”

"Huh? How could it be mine? Didn't you say that I lost my pomegranate belly pocket when I was a child? I shouted excitedly at my mother.

"Your mother is right, actually," the third grandmother opened her mouth on the side, "Actually, what your mother wanted to marry was your uncle at that time, and the two of them were really good friends, but your father made a plan, and in the end it became your father who married your mother." ”

"W-what the hell is going on?" I'm a little crazy.

"When I was young, your mother secretly promised your uncle that she was pregnant with you, and later because of the recruitment of workers to repair the river dam, each family had to get a laborer, and your uncle felt sorry for your father, and he was an elder brother, so he resolutely went to work."

"Before leaving, your mother gave herself to your uncle, saying that no matter what, you must come back to marry him, who knows that it will be two months to leave! Later, a word came out from the construction site, saying that your uncle fell into the river dam and drowned during a heavy rain! ”

"So, your father married me!" Maybe it was because the third grandmother opened the conversation, and the mother's emotions were no longer as excited as just now, and she continued to follow the third grandmother's words, "I know that I have you, and I can't give birth to you alone and marry your father!" ”

"Impossible, if that's the case? Can grandpa not find out? Can the people of the village not find out? "I still don't believe them.

"Do you think that the person who will engage in the object will be the same as you are now, it is normal to hug and kiss on the street, and if you want to hold hands at that time, you have to carry someone behind your back, your father and your eldest brother are like growing up wearing a pair of open crotch pants, and when they are in contact with your mother, they are also two people together, how do the people around know who is with whom?"

The third grandmother continued, "Your father ran to your grandfather to apologize, saying that he had enlarged your mother's belly, and at that time they all thought that your uncle had died, and your grandfather also believed your father's words, Zhang Luo did a happy event for your father and your mother, but on the day of the wedding, your uncle came back!" ”

"So, what happened after that?"

"Your father and your mother have both worshipped, and they have cooked raw rice, although your uncle is sad, he can only endure it, and this matter has been hidden from your grandfather! And your grandfather helped your father marry a relative, in order to comply with your grandfather's instructions about the door of life, naturally he will not marry your uncle, your grandfather knows that death thinks that your Liu family has guarded the 'gate of life' in our village in accordance with the agreement with the old Taoist, but where does your grandfather know, whether it is your uncle or your father, he has already broken the vows. ”

"But, grandpa doesn't know about this, third grandma, how do you know!"

"I didn't know at first, at the beginning of this year, your uncle was forty-nine, although he was physically tough, he was always afraid that he would have three long and two short, knowing that he was not able to keep his body, so he told me that he couldn't get into the right position, saying that if there was a three long and two short, let me supervise your father, don't bury him in the right position."

"However, your father ignored your uncle's last wish!" The mother said on the side, "I insist on burying him in the right position!" ”

"Didn't the uncle ask to be in the right position before he died?" I looked at my dad questioningly.

"Nope!" Dad shook his head and sighed, "He said he was going to put him in the side position." ”

"Then why are you burying him in the right place?"

"Humph!" The third grandmother sneered there, "Your father's wishful thinking is very good!" He wanted to bury your uncle in the right position, not only obeyed the instructions of the old Taoist, but did not delay his own marriage, but that God is what you say to coax and coax, in fact, it is your uncle who should really marry, and it is your father who guards the singles! ”

The third grandmother pointed to the tip of my father's nose, "Your father insisted on going his own way, thinking that he was even more swaying the fortune of this 'life gate', and he insisted on burying your uncle in the right position, now it's okay, you want the whole village to bury your old Liu family for a funeral, you really lose your conscience!" ”

The third grandmother said with annoyance, "Blame me, this is a coincidence, when your uncle died, why did you go to the province, and you didn't see it!" ”

"Third grandma, it's not your fault, even if you're here, my uncle and my father have broken their vows after all, and no one is qualified to enter the right position, blame them for this!"

In fact, I know that if my father didn't insist on digging the kang in the right position, he wouldn't have been able to see the Nanmu coffin, and maybe there would have been no such weird things later.

I suddenly understood the meaning of what the shaman said about everything he was going on a business trip, and what he said that my father knew best, but as he himself said, after all, his mana was limited, he couldn't understand it, he couldn't understand it, he could only understand the skin, and the mage saw that something was wrong, but he didn't know where the root of the problem was, and even if he caught up with himself, it didn't help us get through the disaster.

The third grandmother sighed, "The old Taoist priest is right, if the descendants do not follow the rules, they will 'wash the grave in the northeast and defeat the people'." The fortune of the river in the morning is not the direction of the past, the wave turns, it is from the northeast, incest, incest! ”

"But the third grandmother, there is one thing I still don't understand!"

"Well, you say!"

"I saw with my own eyes, when the uncle was buried, he was wearing dry shoes, and the female corpse was wearing Kun shoes, wearing dry shoes was the uncle's last wish, and the mage said that maybe the uncle had a premonition that he was going to marry in the underworld!"

The mother said hesitantly, "Your uncle wants to wear dry shoes, not because he wants to marry a female corpse, it's because your father panicked the mage, in fact, in fact, the person he wants to pair with him is me." ”

"Huh? What's going on? ”

"Your uncle said that he couldn't be with me when he was alive, and he will fulfill this dream after death, so that when I die, I will change into Kun shoes!" After saying this, my mother took out a pair of shoes from the cabinet, red and red, with exquisite embroidery, with the pattern of mandarin ducks, I could see that this was indeed a match for the uncle's dry shoes.

Everything is understood, though I still don't want to believe it's all true.

It turns out that for more than 20 years, the person I have been calling my dad is not my real father, but my real father has never heard me call me once.

I understood why my uncle's yang energy and I were able to merge when I slept on the coffin board that night, because father and son were in the same line.

"You're all liars!" I yelled and flew out of the house.
