Chapter 7: Twenty Years Ago

The second uncle didn't say a word, just sat silently in the yard and smoked all night, until dawn, the group of cats were extremely unwilling to withdraw, I now understand why grandpa would rather die than force the second uncle to come back, and also think that the second uncle is the only person who can manage this matter, now it seems that the second uncle does have such a means, I believe that everyone present can clearly understand the profundity of the second uncle, after all, the cat that could not be cut back by the knife last night was suppressed by the second uncle.

At the same time, I was full of doubts: what kind of person was he? Taoist? Onmyoji?

At this time, Lao Hei, who was under the third uncle, asked the third uncle: "Third brother, the second child in the family is a living immortal?" ”

"A living fairy! You have heard that the pig who kills the pig trembles when he sees it, and the person who slaughters the dog will bow his head in fright, no matter how fierce the dog is, this is called murderous, he is a cat who kills too much! The third uncle said.

Lao Hei scratched his head and said: "No, I've heard of slaughtering pigs and dogs, but I haven't heard of who is a professional cat killer, what are you doing when killing cats?" ”

The third uncle glared at him and said, "You talk a lot!" Pack up and get out! ”

After the third uncle finished speaking, he took his group of brothers away, and there really seemed to be an insoluble contradiction between him and the second uncle, but my third uncle has this temper, he is very unkind to the second uncle in his mouth, but he may not necessarily think what he thinks in his heart, for example, if anyone dares to slap my second uncle now, the first person to jump out must be him.

The second uncle's return made a big stone in my heart fall to the ground, although he did not show any Taoism at night, but the momentum of the husband is really shocked me, until now my father has not rested for a day or two nights, I let him go to sleep first, and led the second uncle into my room to let him rest, the family is small and there is really no separate room to entertain him.

"Second uncle, thank you." I said to him after leading him into my room.

He nodded, waved his hand at me, and said, "You go out." ”

"Second uncle, are you a Taoist priest?" I couldn't help but ask.

He looked at me and asked, "Do you look like me?" ”

"It's not like it, you don't wear a bun or a robe, but you must be a master." I said.

He chuckled, closed his eyes on the bed, obviously didn't want to talk to me anymore, I closed the door and walked out and began to greet the people who came to help at home, although I haven't rested for a long time, but I didn't feel a little sleepy at this time, I knew that it was all because the second uncle showed his means to shock me, just when I beckoned to come and worship my grandfather, the third uncle suddenly called me and asked me to go to Lao Hei's house.

The third uncle's current base camp is no longer in the village, Lao Hei is the horse boy who follows the third uncle in the village, outsiders say that he has been the third uncle's dog leg since he was a child, I asked him what is the matter, the third uncle said sourly on the phone: "What, holding your thighs, you are too lazy to take care of my third uncle?" ”

"No, my dad and second uncle went to sleep, didn't I greet them at home!" I said.

"I'll let them come over and watch the house, and I have something I want to discuss with you when you come over." The third uncle said.

"That's fine." I said.

When I arrived at Lao Hei's house, the third uncle supported his brothers, and he looked at me with a weird look and said, "Xiao Tian, Xiao Tian, I didn't expect you to be such a person." ”

"Third uncle, I said that you are also a famous hero, can we not talk like a resentful woman, don't tell me that you are eating the vinegar of the second uncle." I laughed.

The third uncle waved his hand and said: "Yes, Lao Tzu won't have anything to do with you, if you still recognize me as the third uncle, today you will tell me what your grandfather explained to you before leaving, if you dare to hide a word from me, you will not be my eldest nephew in the future, and we will go to the sky." ”

Originally, I was a little suspicious of the third uncle and grandpa, and outsiders now seem to think that the third uncle is unreliable, and he knows that my second uncle is a stable master, so he will say before he dies that he will not let me trust the third uncle to find the second uncle, I also thought so at first, but the third uncle's obsession with my grandfather's last words made me feel that everything did not seem to be so simple.

"Third uncle, what do you want to hear?" I said.

He glared at me and said, "Nonsense! I want to hear everything! Say it! ”

"My grandfather said that the second uncle is the only one who can solve the family's problems, and asked me to get him back." I said, naturally I can't say that my grandfather can't believe the words of the third uncle, isn't this a wedge between their father and son.

"Nothing else?" The third uncle asked the immortal.

"It's really gone, grandpa actually looked for the second uncle before he died, but the second uncle didn't see him, I feel that grandpa should have chosen to die by himself, and wanted to use death to force the second uncle to come back to help solve the family's affairs, do you say that my analysis is reasonable." I said.

"Don't talk nonsense, didn't your grandfather say anything else? Or ask you to tell the dick something? The third uncle said. His eyes were a little eager, which made me feel that there must be something in it.

"Third uncle, you give me some hints, maybe I'll remember as soon as you prompt?" I looked at the third uncle and said.

"The wings are stiff, and I also want to trick the third uncle!" He glared at me and said, but then he lit a cigarette and said, "Okay, I won't hide it from you now, I always feel that the recent incident in our family is related to the incident twenty years ago, but I can't figure it out." ”

"I knew you had something to hide from me!" I also glared at the second uncle and said.

"Your grandfather Qin Bazhi's nickname came after that, his two fingers were also broken because of this incident, I didn't tell you before that I didn't want to hide it from you, first, I'm not sure if there is a connection between these two things, and second, I'm embarrassed to speak, this matter is mainly because of me, and you almost lost your life that time." The third uncle said.

The third uncle then told me a past that I had never heard of, there are three people who know about this matter, one is the grandfather, one is the third uncle, and the other is my mother who has passed away, and the thing is indeed because of the third uncle, he was a famous jumping child on our side when he was young, the back mountain of our village is a branch of the Taihang Mountain system, there is a lot of game in the mountain, but hunting has long been prohibited, and the villagers are greedy and go into the back mountain every once in a while to get some game and make tooth sacrifices, That night, the third uncle went into the back mountain to hunt alone, the prey on the side of the mountain was almost poached by the villagers, and the prey was driven to the deep mountains, the third uncle couldn't look down on the sporadic prey outside, generally went into the mountains alone, and never had an accident, but that night there was a heavy fog, and he suddenly lost his way in the deep mountains, and he couldn't find a way out after the fog dissipated.

When he came out, he picked up three gold bars, the weight of gold bars was very large, for the third uncle at that time these three gold bars were a great number, at that time I was only three years old, the third uncle liked children, for my nephew is very fond of it, he ran to the town to give me a pure gold longevity lock, and the rest of the gold was sold for himself and a group of fox friends to eat, drink and recreation.

The thing is out of this longevity lock, after I put on the longevity lock, I began to be unconscious and had a high fever in the afternoon, my face was blue and I couldn't live, at that time my father was still teaching in the central primary school a few miles away, frightened me and my mother hurriedly hugged me to find my grandfather, grandpa opened my eyelids and looked, and said: "It's okay, this is evil, you go to the peach orchard to break a peach branch back, and then go to the ancient well at the entrance of the village to get a basin of water back." ”

My mother immediately complied, and then my grandfather first dipped his finger in some water and flicked it on my forehead, and then took the peach branch and whipped it next to my bed.

As a result, at this time, I suddenly woke up, I looked at my grandfather with wide eyes and sneered, and said, "Do you think the means of dealing with ordinary ghosts are useful to me?" ”

I spoke late, when I was three years old, my speech was not very sharp, but this sentence was very smooth, and it was weird, my grandfather knew that things were bad when he heard it, this ghost was on my body, and this ghost was still a powerful ghost, and ordinary means could never deal with it.

My grandfather knelt down on the spot and kowtowed, begging the great immortal to spare my life, if there is anything offended, but ask for it to be express, I will do my best to remedy it.

But at this time, I fell asleep again, and did not give my grandfather any guidance.

My grandfather lit a candle at the head of my bed and said to my mother, "Jin Zhi, I will go out now to find a way to get the child, if the candle is not extinguished before I come back, then the child will be saved, if the candle is extinguished, you will go and find someone to slaughter the black dog in the house, and put the dog's blood on the child." ”

My grandfather went out the door.
