Chapter 16: The Peach Blossom Legacy
In the end, as Qi Jian said, the matter was finally settled by "mediation".
Feng Qiang reluctantly "apologized" to me and promised not to do it again, while I said "forgive" and wanted to tear him apart.
In the end, the Feng family paid me a thousand yuan and left, Feng Daniu was injured in the next gear, and he walked with a limp, and before leaving, he said viciously to us and see.
After leaving the police station, me, Cao Nan, Huang Mao, and the third uncle went back to the old house to deal with the aftermath, and my grandfather's grave had to be rebuilt.
When I returned to the cemetery, I was angry and looked at the mess all over the ground, gritted my teeth and said: "Feng Qiangtou, you old and immortal bastard, wait for Lao Tzu, you have to lift your ancestral grave!" ”
"It's okay to retaliate, but if you dig up the ancestral grave of the Feng family, and they retaliate back, you will really be unfilial." Yellow Fur shook his head, disagreeing with me.
The third uncle also said to me seriously: "Xiao Lei, the Feng family is powerful, you must not have a hard fight with them, otherwise you will suffer a big loss; Uncle, you are the only seedling, you have to have a good one, that is the real big unfilial piety, understand? ”
I gritted the roots of my teeth, and I was extremely unwilling, but I couldn't think of how to take revenge on the Feng family for a while.
"Let's repair my uncle's longevity house first, and I'll talk about it later." Cao Nan patted me on the shoulder and persuaded me.
I nodded.
At this time, Huang Mao walked around my grandfather's grave, looked at the peach tree next to him, and asked me, "Who ordered this acupuncture point?" ”
The so-called acupuncture point refers to the cemetery, and when the old man is getting older, his children and grandchildren will ask Mr. Feng Shui to point an acupuncture point to the old man, so that he can be buried after a hundred years.
There are about two kinds of acupuncture points, one is loose acupuncture points and the other is combined acupoints. The so-called scattered hole, as the name suggests, is scattered, "single door and single household", and the cave is the ancestral tomb, which is a common burial place within the clan, concentrated in one place.
The general feng shui master can be competent, such as Chen Laogen and others, but the acupoint is more particular, and the level of the feng shui master is very high, in case something goes wrong, the victim is a whole family.
In addition, the ancestral tomb is not something that anyone can bury in, and men who have died, died young, and are not qualified to enter, for fear of shocking the feng shui of the ancestral tomb.
Women are even stricter, in addition to the first three, they must also be the main house that the Ming media is marrying, and there are heirs under their knees; As for the daughters and girls, not to mention the ancestral grave, even the ancestral shrine may not be allowed to enter.
It is precisely because of this that the larger the family in the countryside, the more patriarchal it is, because there is no son who dies and cannot even enter the ancestral grave.
It is said that the ancestral tomb of the Feng family has been pointed to a good feng shui position, so the Feng family can prosper from generation to generation and have prosperous heirs.
Therefore, digging up people's ancestral graves and bad feng shui is like killing parents, because it will seriously affect the luck of future generations.
It is precisely these truths that digging graves is a matter of lack of great virtue, so that other people's descendants will know it, and they will often fight hard with you.
I looked at the third uncle, and after my grandfather's death, the third uncle helped me preside over the funeral.
The third uncle said: "It's Chen Laogen, and the old uncle's ritual was asked to do it at the beginning." ”
"When were these peach trees planted?" Huang Mao asked again, and picked a peach branch and put it under his nose and sniffed it.
"This is planted by my grandfather, and this land belongs to my family." I said that when I was a child, my family was poor and could not afford to buy fruits, and the peach ripening season was the happiest time for me, because I could eat it openly; Grandpa said these peach trees were planted for me.
Every year when the tomb is swept during the Qingming Festival, the peach blossoms here can always bloom incomparably brightly, which is particularly beautiful, and it is also the time when I miss my grandfather the most.
After listening to this, Huang Mao touched his chin thoughtfully.
"What's wrong?" I asked strangely.
Huang Mao didn't speak, walked to a pile of dry haystack next to him, found a few peach pits, looked at them, and said, "It's okay, let's work." ”
I was inexplicable, but I didn't ask any more, and I worked with Uncle Cao Nan to fill my grandfather's grave back, set up a tombstone, and burned spicy bamboo horses and paper money for my grandfather, and gave him an old man's sin and let him rest in peace.
By the time he was done, it was already the west, and Huang Mao hadn't moved his hand, and had been walking around the peach forest, not knowing what he was doing.
We didn't eat for a day, and our hungry stomachs were growling, so the third uncle beckoned us to go to his house for dinner.
I should go down and go to see my sick aunt.
My aunt had a dark illness two years ago, her body temperature fluctuated up and down, she was tired, her body was either chills or fever, and she went to various major hospitals to no avail.
When I arrived at the third uncle's house, my aunt was hooking shoes, her condition was worse than when I came a month ago, her hands were shaking, and she was wearing cotton clothes in the summer.
Seeing me and Cao Nan, she stood up happily: "Xiao Lei and Cao Nan are here." ”
Obviously, she didn't know what happened in the morning, and Meng Shuisheng and the third uncle must be hiding it from her, afraid that her illness would worsen due to her urgency.
"Hey, Xiao Lei, what's wrong with your face?" My aunt's eyes have not been very good since she got sick, and then she found that I had a wound on my face and asked with concern.
"Fall...... If you fall, don't worry, auntie, it's just a little bruise, go back and rub some magic oil and it will be gone. My heart was hot, and I said with a smile.
The third uncle and aunt are a production team, it was my grandfather who told Zhang Luo, and later Meng Shuisheng was born prematurely and almost died several times.
It was those memories that they were grateful to my grandfather, and that gratitude was eventually transferred to me.
They have helped me a lot from opening my own store to getting married, and if I get married in the future, I will worship them because they are the closest people I have in this world.
"Why are you so careless, you're about to get married, and you won't look good if you break your appearance." My aunt said to me a little reproachfully.
I hurriedly said that I must be careful next time, and then introduced Huang Mao, saying that it was my friend.
The aunt politely said that we should stay for dinner, and then went into the kitchen with the third uncle Zhang Luo, Meng Shuisheng ran over to talk to us, and scolded the Feng family for being a bastard and not a human being.
I smiled and touched his head, and secretly stuffed him with a few hundred yuan, and asked him to put it in the money box at home, and not to tell my aunt.
During the meal, my aunt naturally asked about my marriage, although I was in my heart, but I could only smile and say that everything was going well, and the marriage would be completed in the future.
After listening to it, the aunt said again and again that she would become a family in the future, and if she added a pair of children, her life would be complete. However, the third uncle noticed that my face was wrong, but he didn't say anything in front of his aunt.
After eating, the third uncle made an excuse to pull me outside and asked, "I heard that the Xu family wants you to add a dowry, is there such a thing?" ”
I sighed and said that Xu Jiaojiao opened her mouth to ask for 50,000, but I refused, and now the two sides are stiff.
"So much?"
The third uncle's brows suddenly wrinkled into Sichuan characters, sighed, and said: "The Xu family is not authentic in this matter, but it is not appropriate for you to refuse, after all, the marriage is important; In this way, in two days, I will go to Xu's house to walk around and see if I can round things over, if I can not spend it, I will not spend, and if I can spend less, I will spend less, what do you think? ”
I actually didn't want to pat Xu Jiaojiao's family at all, but seeing that the third uncle was worried and couldn't refuse, I nodded and agreed; Besides, it would be even worse if the aunt knew.
After that, the third uncle told me to hide from the Feng family and not to conflict with them, otherwise I would suffer.
I agreed one by one, and then went back to the store with Huangmao Cao Nan.
Back in the store, a huge question lingered in my mind, why did Feng Qiangtou lead someone to dig my grandfather's grave?
Judging from today's conflict, they did not dig my grandfather's grave as revenge because they hated me, but said that what happened in the township was caused by my grandfather, and that grandpa was not a good person and ruined the feng shui in the township.
At that time, I naturally didn't believe it, but now that I have calmed down, I can't help but mutter.
As the old saying goes, people don't fight with the sky, let alone the dead, no matter how big the grudge is, they can't dig graves, this is a very notorious thing, and the Feng family shouldn't do that if they don't have enough reason and motivation.
What are they trying to do?
Instinctively, I looked at Huang Mao, who had been wandering around the peach forest before, as if he had found something.
"Did you notice something was wrong?" Huang Mao sat down, then took out two peach pits from his pocket and said, "This is what I picked up in the peach forest, you can take a look." ”
I took it, looked at it carefully, and wondered, "What's wrong?" ”
"The peach pit has red lines." Huang Mao said.
I took a closer look, and sure enough, I found that there were some very fine red threads in the grooves of the peach pit, which circled the whole peach pit, and I couldn't find it if I didn't look carefully.
"What's the point of that?" Cao Nan interjected and asked.
Huang Mao said: "This kind of pattern is called fire entangled dragon, to the sun to the fire, only on some very special peach trees and jujube trees, and it must grow on the yang of the leyline, which is commonly known as the fire dragon vein." ”
Cao Nan and I looked at each other and said, "Then what?" ”
"Tomb feng shui pays attention to the harmony of yin and yang, the combination of rigidity and softness, and the places of the yang and yin are not suitable for burying corpses, and these two extreme places have a common name, called the place where the corpse is raised." Huang Mao said a message that shocked my heart.
"Corpse Ground?" I swallowed my saliva and said, "You mean, my grandfather's Shou acupoint is a place to raise corpses?" ”
Huang Mao nodded and added: "It is definitely not a feng shui treasure cave, but a place of great evil, and it is very likely that the corpse will become immortal bones when buried!" ”
"Don't break bones? And what is it? Cao Nan asked.
"It's just a corpse that doesn't melt, it is possible to form a wandering corpse, and even a zombie at a powerful point; In short, ten corpses and nine frauds, ominous! Huang Mao said solemnly.
"Don't scare me!"
My mind was shocked to a blank, the place where my grandfather was buried turned out to be a place of great murder? How could it be, it was Chen Laogen's cave, not a mass burial.
After a pause, Huang Mao asked again: "Did you love nosebleeds when you were a child?" ”
I nodded hurriedly, I was angry, afraid of heat and not afraid of cold, I had nosebleeds at every turn when I was a child, and it was not until the past few years that I was stronger, but my fear of heat has never changed, and the whole person was wet in the summer, and it was not until this time that the red-clothed doll sucked my yang energy, and I felt a little more reconciled.
"The yang energy of the rhodion wood is very heavy, if I guessed correctly, you must have started to have a nosebleed habit after eating the peaches of the rhucine, right?" Huang Mao asked again.
I recalled that I started to have nosebleeds when I was a first or second year of elementary school, just when my grandfather planted the peach tree and began to bear fruit.
Huang Mao is not wrong!
In the last few years, I have either studied in the county seat or done business in the township, and I rarely eat peaches that grow there, so the habit of nosebleeds has stopped.
I don't know if I don't know, but I find out that there is really a correspondence!
