The priest couldn't hide his fear of the dog, so he had to smile awkwardly. At this time, Xuan Po remembered the action of the Taoist priest sniffing rice in the morning, and couldn't help but put a question mark like a bean sprout in her heart. Xuan Po couldn't help but be curious, and asked tentatively, "Why are you so afraid of dogs?" But the Taoist priest still used the same smile perfunctory to choose the woman, without giving any explanation.

In the face of my doubts, my grandfather gave an explanation, although this explanation was not convincing to me.

Grandpa explained: "Guigu is not an ordinary person, of course, he was born differently from ordinary people. ”

"What's the difference?" I asked. Sometimes, a question can arouse your great interest, and before you know the answer, you may meditate, think, or even think that there is something extraordinary and unbelievable behind the question. But once you know the answer, your whole excitement is like a goose feather blown out of the clouds, and the whole person suddenly droops.

So do I. Before Grandpa revealed the mystery, I imagined that the dead lady suddenly had a gorgeous flower blooming on her stomach and jumped out of the stamen of a child, and this child was the ghost valley of her childhood. It's a more romantic idea, or a more bloody and thrilling idea. The belly of the dead young lady suddenly exploded, like a cracked bean in the sun, like a rice that had been licked open, and a baby covered in blood crawled out, crying wow.

Grandpa uncovered the mystery and said, "After the young lady's stiff body was removed from the beam, the maid found that there was still movement in her stomach. Coincidentally, one of the servants happened to have studied medicine, and the man said that the young lady was showing signs of imminent childbirth. Now everyone is panicking, people are already dead, how can they still produce? Usually, this young lady is very kind to her subordinates, and the subordinates remember that the young lady is good, so they concealed the lord and the lady, and immediately hung up the curtain around the young lady, so that the person who knew medical skills could help the dead young lady give birth. There was no hope for this, but a dead horse was just a live horse. But in a few moments the cry of a child was heard in the curtain. ”

"Oh." I muttered.

These servants knew the character of the lord and did not dare to let the lord know about it, so the kind servants secretly gave the child to a pair of lonely and childless old men. Maybe it was the porcelain powder soup that hurt Guigu, and when he grew up a little, his health parents found that the adopted child couldn't see anything in either eye. ”

"Blind?" I asked.

"Yes." Grandpa said that the ash on the cigarette butt formed a long strip that was about to fall down. At the same time, his parents discovered that the child had a prophetic function and was very accurate in saying things about the future. He can tell in advance what crops can be planted in which year to harvest and what to plant to reduce yield, when there is rain and when the sun is shining. "I still believe what Grandpa said, because Grandpa himself knows this. For example, on the day of the beginning of spring one year, my grandfather shouted early in the morning that he should pay attention to adding clothes in the next few days. My dad asked strangely, it's already spring, and the weather is going to warm up, why do you need to add clothes. Grandpa said that it was more than spring at one o'clock last night, and when I got up, there was a south wind outside. When the south wind rises in spring, it will return to spring, and the temperature will become cold for a while. I only know which day Lichun is stunned and which day Guyu is stinging, but I don't know what time Lichun starts. Later, sure enough, the weather suddenly turned cold, and there was light snow.

"He is not only capable of that, but he can also predict everyone's life, this life and the next. When pinching, he arranged it according to his own knowledge, of course, some people learned very deeply and well, and some people learned impetuous and shallow, so some people were very good at pinching, and some people were not effective. But he himself never made mistakes and deviations. For a time, his fame spread far and wide. So, a lazy man came to him. The ash of the cigarette butt finally fell heavily and lost its original shape.

Looking at the ashes that fell on the ground, I thought out of time: most of the time the cigarettes are consumed in vain when they are not smoked, and the time for them to be actually smoked is quite short; Is the same with the time of life? There is quite little time that is actually exploited, and the rest of the time passes when people are willing or unwilling, paying attention or not.

Grandpa's story also pulled far, far away like my thoughts. He said, "Guess who is the lazy person who came to Guigu?" Without waiting for me to answer, my grandfather hurriedly said, "That person's name is Dong Yi, and he is Dong Yong's son." Dong Yong, do you know? Without waiting for me to answer, he replied again: "Dong Yong is the mortal husband of the Seven Fairies." What has been said in the Tianxian Pei, your teacher should have talked about it. ”

The teacher didn't talk about these myths about love, but I watched the TV series "Tianxian Pei". At that time, the village chief's house in our village had a Panda brand black and white TV, and dozens of people from the neighborhood crowded into a small house every night to watch TV. It was a bit like a movie theater.

What can happen to Guigu and Dong Yong's son? I was suspicious in my heart.

At this time, my grandfather told me with affection: "That Dong Yi was so hungry and thin because he was lazy and lazy, he found a ghost valley that was like a god, and asked him to help find a way to not worry about hunger without much effort." Guigu refused at first, and couldn't stand Dong Yi's repeated begging, so he had to leak the heavenly secret and say, tonight, you hide in the grass next to the White Dragon Bridge early, and the seven fairies in the sky will pass there. You wait for the first six fairies to walk by, and then hold on to the fairy at the back, she is your mother, and you can beg her to help you. ”

Grandpa took a puff of his cigarette and said, "That Dong Yi listened to Guigu's words and waited in the grass of Bailong Bridge early. As soon as it was dark, I saw a group of fairies coming from the other side of the bridge. After Dong Yi and the other six walked by, he dragged the last fairy's clothes according to Guigu's instructions, and begged her to help him. The Seven Fairies asked Dong Yi how she knew she would pass by the White Dragon Bridge tonight. Dong Yi said that Guigu told him. The Seven Fairies were shocked when they heard this, this is worth it! There are such powerful people in the mortal world, and they even know the time and place when our seven fairies go down to earth! She took out a small bag of rice and gave it to her mortal son, and told him to cook only one rice a month to keep him fed for the rest of his life. ”

Grandpa flicked his cigarette with his finger and continued, "This is the end of the matter." But Dong Yi died because he was too lazy. ”
