The old man smiled bitterly when he heard this, "If he were still alive now, he would be a hundred years old, and he would have died long ago, during the Cultural Revolution." ”

As soon as I heard the old man say this, I couldn't bear to ask Mr. Feng Shui how he died, and he died during the Cultural Revolution, and it was definitely not a good death, so I changed the topic and asked, "Then is Ma Daring in your village still alive now?" ”

Right now, I want to find out, is the wooden man in the cemetery by Mr. Feng Shui, the wooden man was in a hurry to save people yesterday, who was he saving, and does it have anything to do with the dog spirit? The fight between them has little to do with us, but it seems that we are also involved in it now, and it is better to figure it out.

The old man replied, "Ma Daring is still alive now, he is a few years younger than me." "When I heard this, I was very excited, and maybe I could get some useful information from Ma Daring.

The old man said, glanced at Chen Hui, and then said, "Ma Daring looks about the same age as your Dao Master, but it's ...... The first two years were stupid, no one knew anyone, and he couldn't speak, originally he looked at the view outside the village, but after being stupid, their family gave me the key to the view, and told me what, the view is unlucky, don't go there if you have nothing to do. ”

"Silly?" I frowned when I heard this, but I blurted out another question, "Ma Daring still has a family?" ”

"Of course." The old man said: "Since the horse boldly followed Mr. Feng Shui down from the mountain, it is like a different person, although he is the only one left in the family, but the luck is very good, less than half a year, he married a daughter-in-law, gave birth to several sons, at that time he herded sheep for the production team, those sheep eat are fat and strong, the lambs born in a group of flocks, to the team to grow vegetables, the vegetables grow better than anyone else, the village people say, he followed Mr. Feng Shui on the mountain, must have gained some blessings......" said, the old man actually sighed, He also said: "He is much better than me, when three people died in our family, I was the only one left, you look at me now...... Knowing this, I also followed Mr. Feng Shui to the mountains at that time. After saying that, the old man sighed and sighed.

I smiled faintly, and I didn't see that it was the blessing brought by going up the mountain, it was all fate. When the old man finished sighing, I asked again, "Where is Ma Daring's house, can I go and see him?" ”

The old man glanced at me, "You go see what he's doing, he's a stupid old man now." ”

I said, "I don't understand something, I want to ask him." ”

The old man immediately asked, "Do you want to ask about him following Mr. Feng Shui up the mountain?" ”

I nodded, "Don't ask!" The old man waved his hand at me, "I don't know how many people have asked him, he just doesn't say whether he is alive or dead, even his wife and children can't ask, and he is stupid at this time, let alone ask." ”

I smiled at the old man, "Just tell me where his house is, and I'll go see him." ”

The old man then raised his hand and pointed to the back wall of the house, "There is a family behind the house, the yard is very large, there are several houses in the yard, that is his family, the sons in his family are all interested, all of them are doing big things in other places, and they are usually the two of them in the family." ”

At this time, Chen Huihu on the side looked at me suspiciously and asked, "Huang He, what are you going to do when you go to see Ma Daring, does it have anything to do with the wooden people?" ”

When the old man heard this, he looked at me and Chen Hui with a puzzled expression, and I said, "I just want to know the origin of the wooden people, and the dog spirit, I always feel that they may cause us trouble, and it is best to find out about them." ”

Chen Hui stood up from the stool, "Then I'll go with you." I quickly stood up as well.

The old man looked at the two of us inexplicably, as if he wanted to ask something, but he didn't know how to ask. Chen Hui turned his face and told Qiang Shun Silly Niu, stay at home and take care of the hairy boy, don't tell him to go out, the hairy boy has already fallen asleep at this time, in fact, there is no need to watch.

Seeing this, the old man pulled the stupid cow and chatted with Qiang Shun, and I went out with Chen Hui.

Soon, we came to the door of Ma Dakang's house, and at first glance, there was a large courtyard, in which there were several houses, the whole looked like they had been rebuilt in recent years, and the stone walls were mixed with red bricks. In the mountains, red bricks are very rare things, only good conditions at home can afford to use, mainly because the mountain roads are not good, and the freight is too expensive. Just looking at the houses of Ma Daring's family, you know that their family background is really good.

However, I didn't wait for me to see their house I smiled, before I came to their village with Qiang Shun to ask for food, in their house to live several times, there lived a white-haired old woman, the old woman is very good, every time we give a lot of food, and do not charge us money, however, I didn't expect this to be Ma Daring's house.

The courtyard door was closed, I stepped forward and knocked a few times, and soon, a white-haired old woman opened the door, and the old woman was stunned when she saw me and Chen Hui, and then seemed to recognize me, and asked very kindly: "Child, haven't you eaten again?" ”

I shook my head, and Chen Hui hurriedly gave the old woman a look and said, "We came here to visit Ma Daring." ”

When the old woman heard this, her face changed, and she blurted out Chen Hui: "Did you put a gun last night, who was you shooting?" ”

When I heard it with Chen Hui, I immediately looked inexplicable, but I quickly remembered that when it was not dawn today, I vaguely heard a few wolf howls, and then a few gunshots, and I didn't care because I was too sleepy at the time.

I hurriedly asked, "Grandma, was the gunfire fired by your house last night?" ”

The old woman nodded very sincerely, "It's our old man who got up in the middle of the night and put it, if he causes something, I will compensate you, if he hurts anyone, I can go to the town and call my son to go home and compensate you for money." ”

Chen Hui and I looked at each other in amazement, isn't this horse bold already stupid, how can he still shoot?

Chen Hui hurriedly said: "We came here to visit him, and it has nothing to do with shooting." ”

The old woman seemed relieved when she heard Chen Hui say this, and I hurriedly added, "This Taoist is a world friend with the feng shui gentleman in the past, so I want to come and see Grandpa Ma." ”

The old woman was stunned for a moment, and said blankly: "What Mr. Feng Shui?" ”

I hurriedly explained, "It's the view outside your village, isn't that the view set up by the people in your village for the grandson of that feng shui master?" ”

"Oh——!" The old woman suddenly came to her senses, "It turns out that the Taoist chief is a friend of Mr. Wang, so please come in, please come in." ”

I looked at Chen Hui again, and it seemed that the Feng Shui gentleman's surname was "Wang". However, the old woman didn't seem to think much about it, Chen Hui looked like he was only in his sixties, and if Mr. Feng Shui was still alive and in his early 100s, could they be friends at their age.

The old woman led us into the courtyard, and before we entered the house, the old woman shouted in the courtyard, "Son, father, Mr. Wang's friend came to see you, wake up......

When we followed the old woman into the house, we saw an old man in his seventies, curled up sideways on a large bamboo rattan chair, wearing a shabby black cotton jacket, with a scruffy beard, but there were not a few hairs left on the top of his head, and his face looked very rough. Next to the rattan chair, there was a pot of charcoal fire, and the old man's eyes looked at the brazier blankly, looking demented. Without the introduction of the old woman, we can also see that this is Ma Daring.

Chen Hui hurriedly threw his hand at him, "I took the liberty to visit, and I ask Brother Ma to forgive me." ”

After Chen Hui finished speaking, he paused for a while, and then Ma Daring turned his face in a daze, raised his eyelids and glanced at Chen Hui, and then continued to look at the brazier without saying a word.

The old woman hurriedly relieved the siege: "It's been like this for more than two years, it's always been like this, no one is silent when they come, no one knows anyone when they come, you have to say he's stupid, he knows that he eats and dresses in a thatched house, you have to say he's not stupid......"

"Haven't you been to the hospital?" I asked.

"Look, why don't you look at it, several sons took him to Beijing for a trip, saying that they would do something to check, but nothing was checked." As she spoke, the old woman sighed, "It's just that last night was too scary, and I slept until midnight, like a ghost, and got up and got my son's shotgun and gunpowder and went out, walking faster than the young man, and I couldn't catch up with the back." ”

"Where is Grandpa Ma going?" I asked again.

"I went to the back mountain, I don't know if he walked to the back mountain, I heard a few shots in front of me, which scared me, and I didn't go back for a while, he came back, I was afraid that he would shoot someone with a gun."

After the old woman finished speaking, I said: "Grandma, don't worry, Grandpa Ma shouldn't be beating people, before the gunshot, there were a few wolf howls, Grandpa Ma should be fighting wolves." ”

When the old woman heard this, she immediately corrected: "That's not a wolf howl, I also heard that howl, whose dog is learning wolf howl, the wolf bark is more scary than that, I'm afraid that someone with a dog is catching a hare outside the village or something, and he will beat people with a gun." ”

At this time, Chen Hui boldly asked Ma on the rattan chair, "Brother Ma, do you remember the feng shui gentleman in the past?" ”

After a few seconds of pause, Ma Daring raised his eyelids again and glanced at Chen Hui, still silent, Chen Hui frowned, turned his face to me and said: "Huang He, you look at him, it doesn't look like a false illness, why do I look like I have lost my soul?" ”

Judging from Ma Daring's current performance, it is a bit like, I squatted in front of the rattan chair and checked Ma Daring's pulse, the internal pulse is very weak, and the pulse rate is unstable, it really seems to have lost his soul, but the old man has lost his soul, especially those over seventy years old, who are generally hooked away, that is to say, their limit is approaching, and some unjust creditors or something have to come to collect debts and hook the soul, and it is almost impossible to recall this kind of lost soul.

After taking the pulse, I lied to Chen Hui, saying that it was not a false illness or a loss of soul, but a kind of Alzheimer's disease. I want to say that it is a false illness and a loss of soul, Chen Hui will not be able to ask me to summon the soul of Ma Daring, this soul is not easy to call, once the soul of Ma Daring is called back, I may provoke Ma Daring's unjust creditor, Ma Daring's limit is approaching, and the gods can't save him, I will provoke his unjust creditor again, not only can I not save his life, but also put myself in.

I also asked Ma Daring a few questions, and after Ma Daring's performance and Chen Hui asked him, he glanced at me and didn't say a word. In the end, there was no way, and the two had to say goodbye to the old woman.

However, before we could walk out of the room, Ma Daring on the rattan chair suddenly sat up and yelled at the two of us: "Be careful, you are in big trouble!" ”
