When my mother found the man, he was cutting wood in someone else's hall. When I asked carefully, it turned out that he was a carpenter who specialized in making coffins for people. Mom had already asked his real name and surname, Li Gang. At first glance, I thought his name was Chestnut Coffin. Man is thin and weak, and his body is like a woman's. His face was sallow, as if he was a malnourished person who couldn't eat oil and salt in the old days.

After a few words of conversation, my mother knew that Li Gang was a person who knew feng shui very well. He thinks that it is always bad to make a coffin in his own home, so he has a different rule from other carpenters - the coffin must be made in someone's house, and the wood must never be transported to his own house and then sold to others.

Li just talked to her mother very speculatively, and her mother went for a purpose, so she figured out Li Gang's old bottom in three or two sentences. It turned out that Li Gang was born with an interest in feng shui and had a comprehension. If it was in ancient times, he would definitely have become a feng shui master who made a difference. However, in the modern world, although they still barely believe in ancient traditions such as feng shui, few people take this ancient tradition seriously. During the Chinese New Year and festivals, people only make a symbolic procedure, and do not regard feng shui as the most important thing to do.

When Li was a little older, he understood that learning Feng Shui would not bring him a change in his quality of life, so he changed his mind and learned some carpenter's trades. The process of change is just like my mother saw through my grandfather's skills that were "outdated", so she didn't want me to follow my grandfather to learn those mysterious things that affected the formal curriculum.

Li just now knew that his mother was the daughter of Master Ma of Thrush Village, and he also knew that Master Ma of Thrush Village was a person who knew a lot of magic, so when he saw his mother, he pretended to be familiar at first sight, and he was very friendly and enthusiastic to his mother. Mom later learned that she easily talked to Li Gang, in fact, because Li had already wanted to find his grandfather.

But at that time, my mother thought that Li had just talked to her because he also liked feng shui. And Li just didn't know what his mother was looking for him. He thought that his mother just happened to be passing by here and happened to meet someone who knew Feng Shui.

Kurikawa was standing in the sawdust-strewn hall, playing ink threads on the coffin that had already taken shape, while chatting with his mother who was sitting on the stone pier at the door. Mom later said that when she saw Li just standing next to the coffin, a sense of foreboding inexplicably rose in her heart. But what the hunch was, she couldn't tell. In short, the head "buzzed" a few times, as if a swarm of flies flew overhead.

Flies can smell rot and death.

"Ouch, the carpenter in this hall seems to be the grandson of Granny Yue, right?" That's how Mom pulled the conversation away.

"That's right. Do you know my grandmother? Kuri just pulled up a cotton thread dipped in ink, and a straight ink thread popped out on the textured wood. He had to cut the wood into a coffin material that was large at one end and smaller at the end of the ink line that popped up.

"That's right. My father knows Granny Yue well, so I know you. Mom was very clever and pulled Grandpa out of the conversation.

"Oh?" He didn't completely take his mind away from the carpenter's work, and the slutty eyes with peach blossoms were staring at the ink line.

"My father is Ma Yueyun from Thrush Village, I don't know if you know him?" Mom pretended to be casual and said.

The fish was quickly hooked.

"Master Ma of Thrush Village?" He immediately put down the work in his hand, and his eyes showed a little gleam of joy. "My grandmother has a relationship with Master Ma?"

Mom waved her hand and said, "I can't talk about any friendship, and I've only met a few times." ”

"Then how did you recognize me?" Visibly disappointed, he rubbed his hands together, picked up a planer and pushed it on the coffin, and the paper-like sawdust rolled up from the middle of the planer.

"Oh. I heard from Granny Yue that she had a carpenter's grandson who liked to make coffins in other people's homes. There are no carpenter men in this family, so I guessed you. "Mom's response was quicker. Kuri didn't see any flaws just now.

So, my mother and he naturally talked about feng shui. My mother told a few stories about someone in a certain village who caused trouble to the family because of feng shui problems. Li just expressed some of his thoughts on Feng Shui on these things.

"I wonder you were a feng shui gentleman in your last life." Mom said unhurriedly.

Li Gang's face suddenly changed, and the planer in his hand almost fell. "How do you know?"

Although his mother said that sentence with ulterior motives, it was just a test to test him. Seeing the sudden change in Li's expression just now, my mother was also shocked. However, my mother quickly stabilized her emotions and quipped: "I'm just talking casually, guessing randomly." Look, it scares you like this! ”

"I ......" Li just said a word, and swallowed the rest of the words.

Mom saw all this in her eyes and remembered it in her heart. "I heard that your grandmother said that you are not married yet, and you have no person to talk to?" Mom continued.

The corners of Li's mouth twitched just now, and he said, "Hey...... Once my grandmother touched me, she would whisper in my ear. ”

"yes. The old people all hope to see the completion of their children and grandchildren's great affairs as soon as possible. Mom smiled, "Why don't you take the liberty of asking?" ”

"I'm ......" Li's words just now were broken again. After a moment of silence, he continued, "I don't know why, I just don't want to do these things for the time being. ”

The strange thing is that since her mother asked these two questions, Li has become much more reticent just now, and she is the same as before. When his mother talked to him about other things, he became unreasonable.

When his mother saw him like this, she had to give up.

On the way back, I took my mother to meet Li Gang, and the villagers whispered to my mother, don't ask him why he didn't get married. When you ask that, he won't talk to you more.

Mom asked confusedly, why is this?

The villagers said that the man would raise love Gu. Legend has it that when the big green locusts and earthworms ****, they are caught together, and then put on the tiled house to bask in the sun for seven days and seven nights, drink dew, bathe in the day, and absorb the essence of the sun and the moon. During the seven days, it must be sunny for several days, and there can be no rain or thunder, and the medicine will be invalid in case of the above conditions. After seven days and seven nights, the worm was taken back to the house and crushed into powder, and it became a "love Gu." So as long as it's the girl he likes, he can get people to his □□.
