Chapter 23: He's a grandfather
As night fell, the sky gradually became cloudy, and the moon, which was clearly visible a moment ago, was obscured by black clouds, and the young man said to me, "Let's go!" It's about time! By the way, do you know the Tao? β
Of course I know that when I was a child, I always went to the grave and could find it with my eyes closed.
I went up the hill with the young man, walking one after the other, I was in front and the young man was behind, his pace was noticeably slower than during the day, and it felt like he was groping his way forward.
For this young man, there are countless questions accumulated in my heart, what is the relationship between him and the third grandmother, why does he know so many things about our Liu family and Banming Village, how can he have such a great ability to control the water, how can he see that Qian Da Niu is possessed by Qian Laoqi, and how does he know so much about the rules of those professions-
These mysteries have yet to be solved, and it takes half an hour to walk from the village to my family's graveyard, even in the daytime, to say the least, and this time is just the right time to solve my doubts.
I thought about it, but I still picked up the easiest question to ask, "How old are you?" β
"What's wrong?"
"It looks like I'm about the same age, how can I be the same as the third grandmother?" When I say this, I am actually complimenting him, and in terms of appearance alone, he is like sixteen or seventeen years old, and he looks a few years younger than me!
"Oh, I'm older than you anyway, you should call me grandpa!"
"You're so young, call you grandpa? It's too awkward, right, you tell me how old you are, how about we call each other brothers? β
"That's not possible, I'm not only older than you, but also older than your father and uncle, how can you call me brother?"
Yes? What do you mean? He said that he was older than my uncle and my father, impossible, this looks like a teenager, how can he be older than my elders.
He saw my doubts and said with a smile, "I'm not a few years younger than your third grandmother, so you can call me Grandpa Sun!" β
It turns out that his surname is Sun, damn, Grandpa Sun! It's also Monkey King! When Sun Wukong fights monsters, he always says, "Monsters!" Your grandfather is coming for you! "However, seeing this person's ability, fighting monsters and subduing demons, he is really a little similar to Sun Wukong, could it be said that he is really an immortal character.
"According to you, you are so old, I don't think you are old at all!"
He gave me a blank look, "Whoever told you that everyone has to be old, lonely and unheard!" β
"Aren't people going to get old? The men of our 'half-life village' have not lived to fifty, not only will they be old, but they are all short-lived, and I don't want to die early, alas! I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet! β
When I said this, I sighed, and suddenly remembered Xiaowei, and I didn't know what she was doing after she went back to school, and I was a little worried about whether the fat man Zhang who had been chasing him would take advantage of the fire to rob!
Just when I was thinking about Xiaowei, my chest suddenly burned, and the piece of blood jade reacted, I was a little frustrated, is it really like the young man said, this woman is staring at me.
"You say, the man of our 'Half-Life Village', why is he so miserable, you are so capable, can you sue me what's the matter?"
"I don't know about this, but how can I think about these things now, let's figure out the matter of hair water first!"
He didn't talk anymore, but still groped forward step by step, the wind around him became cooler and cooler, and I didn't dare to move too much, after all, he sued me that there are yin people on my body and things are easy to attract ghosts, if this summons all the ghosts around, I can't eat and walk around!
I don't know how long it took, but he suddenly asked me how long we had been gone!
He didn't say that I hadn't paid attention yet, but after I finished speaking, I remembered that I had been chatting with him for a while just now, and with the silence during this time, it was estimated that it would have to be an hour!
But with so many things happening recently, I didn't believe how I felt, so I took out my phone to make sure, and sure enough, it had been an hour and twenty minutes since I left my house.
I quickly told the young man, and after listening to my words, he quickly asked me, "Is there any difference between the trees around us and when we just left?" β
I quickly looked around, the moon has been covered by black clouds, the vision is not very good, we are here in the northeast, the most in the forest is the pine, the pine tree is not as lush as the southern canopy, you can easily distinguish the north and south according to the density of the leaves, the crown of the pine tree is in the shape of an awl, people can not distinguish the north and the south.
"This, the difference? I really don't see it? Do you see that? Afraid that he would laugh at my observational powers, I asked rhetorically.
"If I could see, I could ask you?"
"What? What do you mean, can't you see? You, you don't have night blindness, do you? β
He nodded and said, "You guessed it!" β
I said, when this man entered the mountain just now, how did he stumble when he walked, compared to the daytime, it was like two people, it turned out that his vision was not good.
"Are there any stars in the sky?" He asked me again.
I understood what he meant, and it was also a good idea to determine the direction according to the position of the Big Dipper, so I shook my head, "It will be cloudy when I come out of my house, and the black clouds have not dispersed, so I can't see anything clearly!" β
"Then you don't remember the route you came to!"
"Of course, I remember that I have walked many times since I was a child, starting from the foot of the mountain, after more than a hundred, I will go up a small slope, and then go east along the small slope, and I will encounter a big stone turning towards it," I suddenly stopped, and in five minutes, I clearly saw the big stone again!
"A few minutes ago, I seemed to see the big rock when we first entered the mountain!"
When he heard me, he quickly took out a compass from his pocket, which had something like a pointer, like a compass, and placed it on a relatively flat ground.
"What is this? Is it a compass? "I'm a little curious!
He shook his head, "No, but it's similar to the function of a compass, you have good eyes, help me see, this pointer refers to one aspect, or wobbly!" β
I quickly took a look, and the two ends of the pointer were like headless flies, swaying from side to side.
"Swinging!"
"That's it, we're in trouble!"
"What's the trouble?"
"I'm not sure yet! We'll have to check it out! β
"How?"
He ignored me, but walked over to a pine tree by the side of the road, took off his pants, and peed on the ground of the big tree.
"Alas! I asked you how to test, what are you peeing for? β
He didn't say much, but smoked another cigarette on the spot, and when he had finished it, the young man said to me, "You are following the route you remember, and we are going through it again!" β
Naturally, I didn't dare to be disobedient, led him through a fork in the road, walked to the left, three hundred meters later, encountered another fork in the road, and walked to the right, but I also found a problem, I used to walk like this, half an hour to my uncle's tomb, today's fork in the road seems to be more, I can't finish walking!
Half an hour later, we were back at the place where the boy was peeing, and I was so sure it was because I smelled the pungent smell of smoke.
I also understand the meaning of the lad's test, but why do you have to use urine!
He dipped his hand in the place where he had urinated not long ago, put it under his nose and sniffed it, this action is called a disgusting action!
"It tastes pretty good!" I teased.
"Well, yes, would you like to try it!"
I quickly made a vomit expression, "What the hell is going on?" β
"This compass in my back hand is called the shock labyrinth, specifically to feel this kind of thing, if it is normal, the pointer of this shock labyrinth will not be changed randomly, but now it is different, you see him shaking badly, I know that something is not right, and, the smell of urine and smoke left by me just now are my marks!"
"I see, then why do you have to use urine and find a stone to make a mark on the ground?"
The young man shook his head, "That doesn't work, this kind of thing, it's the eyes of people who are confused, so I can't go out again and again, my eyes are not good, I can't see the abnormality of things around me, of course, ordinary people like you can't feel it, I pee and smoke, all to leave a smell, I can get confused eyes, I can't confuse my nose, in addition, I am a child urine, it is not easy to be blinded, urine is here, it means that we are indeed in the battle, and we can't go out!" β
"You mean, I've hitβ" I paused, suddenly unable to remember the word.
"Yes, the ghost hits the wall!"
