Chapter 10: The Old Fairy

I followed Mr. Ding to his clinic. In addition to Mr. Ding, there are two young interns in the clinic, both of whom are studying traditional Chinese medicine, and they are busy taking medicine for the patient's family. Mr. Ding gave me a sick leave list, and I went back to the Forestry Bureau non-stop, running up and down for a day, and finally got sick leave.

In the evening, we returned to the village by car. Greeting the local villagers in my hometown, I came home, my grandfather was packing up the mountain goods in the yard, and I was a little surprised when I came back: "Xiaotong, why did you come back when you didn't have a festival?" ”

My nickname is Golden Boy, and my grandfather has called me Little Boy since I was a child.

I was thinking about how to ask him all the way, my grandfather had been hiding from me for so many years, and he must have considered it. I didn't say much, I just said that I was sick and came back on sick leave.

Grandpa asked me to go back to the house first to clean up, and then talk about what I had to say after eating.

I went back to the house, packed everything up, and when I came out, my grandfather had already stewed chicken soup neatly. After about half an hour, the meal was ready, the table in the hall was set, three dishes and one soup, and the chicken stewed mushrooms were bubbling with a pungent aroma.

I was about to say something, but my grandfather made a gesture: "Eat first, eat without saying a word, and then we will talk after eating." ”

I was hungry, gobbling it up, and I was swept away. When I was almost done, I wiped my mouth, touched my stomach and said I couldn't eat.

Grandpa poured himself a glass of home-brewed sorghum wine: "Tell me, why did you call for sick leave?" ”

I didn't hide it from his old man, I told him in detail about how I went into the mountains and met the fox spirit, and Mr. Ding, an old Chinese medicine doctor, cured it. Grandpa didn't speak from beginning to end, and listened very attentively, and when I finished speaking, he put down the wine cup heavily and sighed: "I thought about this day, but I didn't expect it to be so soon." ”

He stood up, his old body staggered a little, and I was about to help him, but my grandfather waved his hand and motioned for me to sit down. He walked step by step to the back room, and after a long time, he walked out with an iron box in his hand.

He opened the box and pulled out something from it, a yellowed photograph.

I took it and looked at it, and it was a frontal photo of a man with a train station in Beijing in the background, and the time was printed on it, with the words 1978 written on it. This man is very young and in his prime, and the old photos have an indescribable charm, like a long river of time precipitation.

"What is this?" I looked familiar and felt that this person was familiar.

Grandpa said word by word: "He is your father, his name is Feng Weimin." ”

I was stunned, this was the first time my grandfather had talked about my father. I haven't seen my father and mother since I was born, I don't even know what it is, when I asked my grandfather when I was a child, my grandfather told me that your father didn't study well, he was a bad gambler, and he died on the street, so I didn't want to learn from him.

Seeing this strange and somewhat familiar face today, I can't say why, but I feel choked in my throat and my eyes moist.

Grandpa looked at the photo, and his voice was desolate: "I am your father's son, although I haven't read any books, but his education since he was a child is also very strict, this photo is the only photo he left before he got married, and he was in his prime at that time...... After getting married, I don't know what evil I fell into, so I learned badly and began to gamble and prostitute myself, and a good daughter-in-law is your mother...... Also ran away from home. ”

I hurriedly asked, "So my mother is still alive and in this world?" ”

Grandpa waved his hand, obviously not wanting to talk about this issue, he rubbed his brows: "Let me tell you your father's story, and you will know why there is yin poison in your body." ”

Grandpa drank a glass of wine, brewed it for a long time, and spoke. I gambled my father to worship Wong Tai Sin, and later angered Wong Tai Sin, and the villagers sacrificed my soul...... All things have been said. Before I knew it, I was stupid. The night was deep, the wind was strong, and I had chills all over my body.

"Grandpa, so to speak, the origin of the yin poison in my body is the Wong Tai Sin who died of death?" I asked.

"Look at your chest." Grandpa said.

I took off my clothes and saw the seven bright red blood moles on my chest like the Big Dipper.

"Wang Shenxian said that Huang Daxian's unjust soul has been sealed in your body, and the yin poison has entered the body, so this situation will occur." Grandpa seems to be dozens of years old: "Child, don't worry, our old Feng family only has a lone seedling like you, I will definitely find a way to cure you." ”

With my brain buzzing and having a hard time accepting these facts, I stood up on the table and stumbled back into the room. Lying in bed at night, I barely slept all night, thinking about these things over and over again.

To be honest, I hate my dad a lot, I used to have a happy family, but I was infected with the word "gambling", which led to the destruction of the family, and I am not far from death, what is this called.

When I got up the next day, I had breakfast with two black circles under my eyes, and my grandfather took me to visit Wang Shenxian. Wang Shenxian is a powerful person in the village, and he can't tell fortunes to see marriage, and people from all over the country come to him to see things. He knew about me from beginning to end, grandpa said, I used to be young, and Wang Shenxian didn't show me, but now that I'm older and the time is ripe, it's time for him to think of a way.

My best friend Wang Erdonkey is also the grandson of Wang Shenxian. I came out for a long time this time, and I missed him a lot, so I just went to pay a visit.

The courtyard of Wang Shenxian's house is very large, and the house is covered with a three-story small western-style building, so let's put it this way, except for the village chief, his family is in the village. His family goes out to see things, not to mention how much money he makes, at least no one dares to offend him, he has a very high rank in the village, and the village chief has to give three points when he sees Wang Shenxian.

As soon as I entered Wang's house, I saw the ancient mountain pavilion spray-painted on the courtyard wall, and the white clouds and cranes. Spray-painted on the wall, the starting point is good, to tell the foreign guests that this family has a big fairy to see things, revealing a fluttering fairy aura. But these wall paintings are too old, the color is yellow and gray, and the dye is peeling, how awkward it looks now, there is an eerie temperament, like a nightmare scene.

There is a big dog in the yard, called Da Hei, when I was a child, I often let Wang Erdonkey take out to play with us, now this dog is older, and his bearing is becoming more and more calm, lying in the yard, covered in black hair, don't look motionless, but the two eyes are like small light bulbs, looking closely at outsiders.

My grandfather and I went into the yard, and Wang Shenxian's daughter-in-law was frying something on the stove in the yard, and the yard was full of indescribable strange smells. She was an old lady from the countryside, and when she saw us coming, she shouted and went into the house.

Wang Shenxian was sitting in the hall listening to the radio, talking about Shan Tianfang's storytelling, he was leisurely drinking tea, squeaking.

My grandfather clenched his fists: "Lao Wang, I'm here to disturb you." ”

Wang Shenxian really looked like a fairy, and raised his eyes to look at me: "Old Fengtou, I told your grandson everything." ”

Grandpa sighed: "I can't hide anything from your eyes." No, the child grows up and knows everything, I called him to show you, you two are destined, why do you have to help us. ”

"Well, well, it should be. I have been pondering the matter of the child for almost twenty years, and it is time to solve it, little boy," he called me, "first put a stick of incense on our old fairy, and you two will be hot first." ”

The living room of their house is huge, and there is a huge god table against the west wall, which can have two large and wealthy ordinary writing desks, and it is covered with yellow silk, and the silk is painted with red lotus flowers, and there are several big characters inscribed, "Buddha shines brightly". There are all kinds of offerings on the god table, copper stove incense table or something, and the strange thing is that there are also a lot of cosmetics, some of which are antique rouge boxes.

On the front of the altar is a statue of a woman.

When I came to their house when I was a kid, I saw this offering table. At that time, a group of friends, since seeing this statue of a woman, there is no child who does not have nightmares. Even the naughty boy in the village was scared to pee his pants when he talked about this woman. To deal with these children, the best trick for adults is to say, no matter how naughty you are, the old fairy of Wang Shenxian's family will catch you in the middle of the night.

The woman appears to be carved out of black wood, a metaphor for black flesh, and is covered with a layer of gold leaf. Her eyebrows were thick and dark, and she had a long wig on her head, which was so long that it fell all the way to her waist. The most terrifying thing is the two eyes, I don't know if they were originally empty, or if they were later taken down, they were two black holes.

Now that I'm older, when I look at this woman, I'm still shivering, and I feel very uncomfortable. Fear is on the one hand, and intense disgust and unspeakable disgust on the other.

I thought to myself, it's really not easy for anyone to live with Wang Shenxian, the family has money, and they can enjoy happiness, but guarding such a thing every day is really worse than going to prison.

Just thinking about it, I didn't pay attention for a while, my feet suddenly slipped, I couldn't stand steadily, and it happened that I was kneeling on the futon in front of the god table, and then I hit the ground, and my head buzzed, and I almost had a concussion.

Everyone in the house was looking at me, and I got up from the ground, and I saw blood on my forehead and nose.

Wang Shenxian turned off the radio and looked at me and sneered: "Stinky boy, did you disrespect the old fairy just now?" ”

I hurriedly said, "No, I was about to put on incense, but I didn't pay attention to the soles of my feet, and I fell." ”

"You can pull it down." Wang Shenxian snorted: "I don't know what you're thinking?" Hurry up, sincerely and sincerely. The old fairy will be punished slightly, if you are still disrespectful, just leave quickly, the old fairy will not care about you and let you fend for yourself. ”

I didn't dare to make a second time, thinking that the old fairy was really psychic, and I knew everything in my heart. I covered my nose and said, "Grandpa Wang, let's find toilet paper and stuff my nose first." ”

Wang Shenxian said: "No, if you sincerely worship incense, the nosebleed will stop." ”
