This old man knows a lot about my family affairs.

"I don't know about this, it seems to be related to the 'second aunt'." I thought of the veiled young woman, and at the same time of the rich fragrance of her body. I remember that she was a very beautiful woman when she was a child, and now she still looks amorous, no wonder the second uncle is fascinated by her.

"The reason why your grandfather vehemently objected to them being together was because the woman was an ominous person, blessed and untimely in death. Lu Qingchen also knew, but he didn't want to leave her, and he even didn't hesitate to fall out with your grandfather for her......" Lao Dao turned around as he said and put his hand in his sleeve.

I stopped thinking about his words, frowned, and said, "No, if this were the case, the second aunt would have died a long time ago, but she is now in her thirties, and she is still alive and well......"

Lao Dao sneered, "Young man, seeing is in vain, your second uncle is a genius who has not been born for a hundred years, and he used the spell of borrowing longevity to hang the woman's life for twelve years. ”

I also heard my grandfather say that according to folk legend, the length of a person's life span is determined by God, but the life span is like rice and money, which can be borrowed. If a family member is sick and the treatment is ineffective, they think that their longevity is over. At this time, if someone lends him a life, he can extend his life, but this spell must be done if the relatives of the deceased are willing, and he can only borrow one life at a time, that is, twelve years.

Legend has it that during the Song Dynasty, the old lady of a family surnamed Liu fell seriously ill and was about to die. The two brothers of the Liu family were filial sons, so they prayed to heaven that they were willing to reduce their lives by six years, and as a result, their mother lived another twelve years before she died.

I suddenly remembered my second aunt, a good person, why should she cover her face? Unless there's something wrong with her. What is even more scary is that if what Lao Dao said is true, then it means that the twelve-year yang shou borrowed by the second aunt is about to run out, and who will she borrow it from then?

As it happens, I am also part of her family......

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Lao Dao sneered: "Don't you understand? Your second uncle came back suddenly, the purpose is to borrow your birthday! The reason why I did everything possible to prevent me from doing it for you was because I was afraid that I would see through his treacherous schemes. If your second uncle was really a good person, your grandfather wouldn't want to drive him away. ”

I rubbed my temples and my brain was a little dizzy, "This is just your one-sided statement, how do I know if what you say is true or false?" ”

Lao Dao smiled faintly and said: "Take the lamp as a metaphor, the body is the wick, and the yang shou is the lamp oil, the twelve years of yang shou she borrowed is about to run out, and the body will inevitably decay to varying degrees, you just need to find a chance to look at her body, and you will know that what I said is true or false." ”

She even covered her face, where can I find a chance to see her body, I can't peep at her bathing. This is going to be known to the second uncle, and he will definitely beat me to death.

My head was a mess, as if there were two little people fighting.

Lao Dao walked up to me and said with a pleasant face: "Don't worry, the real and the fake are not afraid of the red fire, and the fake can't be real no matter how you disguise it." Since you are suspicious of me, I have nothing to say, but when you go and investigate for yourself, you will know the good intentions of the old man. Merely...... The ghost scars on your body are about to flare up in half a month, so you have to hurry. ”

I nodded, said a few more gossip, and took my leave. Lao Dao sent me to the door, and went back, and when I looked back, I suddenly remembered who his back was.

The eccentric guest who bought the ancient jade that Zhou Xiaoyu consigned to!

At that time, I was not deeply involved in the world, so I asked thoughtlessly, Grandpa Cai, was you the one who came to buy the ancient jade that day?

Lao Dao trembled, and quickly calmed down, but he didn't turn around, but just replied lightly: "No." ”

As soon as the words came out, I regretted it, even if he asked like this, he wouldn't admit it, but startled the snake. I had no choice but to leave temporarily, and I didn't dare to go home, but went straight to the fat man's house.

It was not yet dawn, and I was pacing up and down in front of the fat man's house.

The black lights in his house are blind, the fat man must not have come back, and I am embarrassed to call the door, so I squatted at the door and waited for him to come back when I was tired, and fell asleep unconsciously. In a daze, someone touched my head, and I subconsciously punched it, but I heard the fat man's scream like killing a pig.

"You don't think I'm hurt enough to rub salt on my wound, do you?"

I saw that he was covered in mud, with a blue nose and swollen face, and I thought that he was beaten by his second uncle in order to cover my retreat. There was a burst of warmth and emotion in my heart, and now the only person I can trust is him.

"Your second uncle is so fierce, I can't beat him even if I have the strength to feed. How, is the matter settled? The fat man crouched down and talked to me, rubbing his bruises so painfully that he bared his teeth.

I opened my mouth and was about to speak, but my stomach rumbled first.

"You see, I really am, you haven't eaten all night, have you? Come on, go into the house and eat first and then talk slowly. So saying, he led me into his house.

The fat man was covered in mud, had a blue nose and swollen face, and was scolded by his mother. His father said a few words for his son, and it soon turned into his parents arguing. The fat man went to change his clothes first, then brought two bowls of white porridge and a few steamed buns, and sat with me on the stone steps of the compound to eat.

In my ears is the sound of the fat man and his parents arguing with you coming and going, the fat man seems to have become accustomed to it, munching on steamed buns, listening to me about what happened last night.

When he finished eating the steamed bun in his hand, I finished speaking.

I didn't have the appetite to eat after drinking a bowl of porridge because I really didn't have an appetite.

The problem seems simple, but it's complicated. There must be one of the old Tao and the second uncle who is lying, the problem is that they all have a point, and I can't tell which of them is lying to me.

"By the way, your second uncle asked me to bring you a word." The fat man suddenly remembered and said to me.

"What?"

He said...... That old man is actually a living dead. ”

"The living dead? What do you mean? What is alive is alive, and what is dead is dead, so how can there be such a thing as a living dead? I wondered.

The fat man shrugged, "I don't know, I dragged him to death last night and was beaten by him." But he didn't kill him, and when he got up, he found that you were gone, so he asked me to bring you a message. I listened to it at the time, and I also had a reaction with you. ”

According to him...... The living dead are the intermediate state of the living and the dead, this kind of people, at first glance, the action is no different from ordinary people, but they are actually in a "half-dead" state, the pulse will be extremely weak, the breath will be almost none, the eyes will become "dead eyes", modern scientific language says, is "pupil dilation". This kind of person's yang life has been exhausted a few years ago, and the reason why he can still sit and walk, talk and do things is because he is supported by a strong yin qi......"

My mind suddenly flashed like a flashing light, flashing of old looks, his cloudy, dead eyes, blackened nails, and the lingering stench of his coffin shop.

Could it be, Cai Mingdao is really a living dead? The coffin shop is also a place with a lot of yin, right?

I was thinking about it when a paper ball flew out of the room and threw it at my head. Looking back, it was the fat man's parents who were no longer satisfied with playing tricks, but directly moved their hands, and the things in the poor house became their 'cannonballs'.

The fat man couldn't bear to be disturbed and shouted: "Mom and Dad, can you stop it!" Let me be quiet for a moment! ”

My aunt was stunned, "You dare to yell at me, I conceived and gave birth to you in October, and raised you to be fat and fat, and you actually yelled at me...... You say you help your dad, or help me! ”

The uncle looked thin, and he also held a rolling pin in his hand, and said generously: "Son, don't succumb to your mother's obscenity, show your heroism, and tell her loudly that you and your father are on the same side!" ”

The palm of the hand is meat, the back of the hand is also meat, and the fat man grabbed his hair with both hands, "I won't help anyone, you continue to argue...... I have something to go out for. ”

And just like that, the fat man and I escaped again.

"Brother, I'm really embarrassed, I wanted you to stay with me for a while, but you also saw it, my parents are really ...... Bother. The fat man said a little embarrassed.

I shrugged and smiled, "It's okay, I think your house is quite lively and interesting, and to be honest, I'm still a little envious of you." Unlike when I beat my parents, there is only my grandfather and a room of antiques at home, and many times I play with myself. Fortunately, there are still you, who treat me as a friend, and come to play when there is anything to do. To put it mildly, I sometimes envy you. ”

The fat man shuddered, waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about it...... Besides, I have goosebumps, and it's too numb for men to talk about this. In short, as long as you know it in your heart, you can be a brother. Don't say it. ”

With that, the two looked at each other and laughed.

After a while, the fat man asked, "Then what are you going to do now?" I will listen to you at every word you say, and your business is my business. ”

I smiled, "I didn't know what to do, but when I saw you coming out of the house, I suddenly thought of a solution." Thank you so much. ”

The fat man raised his finger and pointed at his nose, and said strangely: "Me? What do you mean? ”

I said, your father asked you to stand on his side, and your mother also asked you to stand on her side, just like Lao Dao and the second uncle made me believe them, but the best thing to do is not to listen to them. Because if you follow their words, you will only see what they want you to see, which makes it even more difficult to distinguish which of them is true and which of them is true and false.

Fat man: "Their people don't listen, so who do you believe?" ”

"Myself."
