A hundred years of life, like a white horse passing by, fleeting, there are always a few things unforgettable, and there are always a few people who are unforgettable.

I know that people die like a lamp going out, and everything they did before they died will be completely forgotten after death, and if they want to leave something in the world, they can only write it down word by word.

Many strange and bizarre things happened to me, and the root cause is related to my second uncle, so things have to start from the twenty-first year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty.

At that time, my second uncle was not called Lu Gaoyuan, but there was a milk named Xi Gao, and I heard him say that at that time, our family was still the poorest tenant in Zhongchi Township, Wu County, southwest Fujian.

Although my grandfather and my grandmother were poor, they gave birth to five children, and there was a rice blast for two years, and the fields were exhausted by wild vegetables, and three children died of hunger and illness.

At that time, there was a cousin surnamed Zhang who said that he wanted to go to Chaozhou to make a fortune, and he wanted to find a child of the same clan to find a job there, so he chose my second uncle. You may be wondering, why don't you choose the boss and choose the second? My grandfather is to blame for that.

My grandfather was not a big pain at that time, and he let my second uncle eat first on weekdays, but in fact, it was also my father's duty, and he did his best to let my younger brother on weekdays, so although my second uncle was only fifteen years old at that time, he was taller than my father in his early twenties.

At that time, from Nanwu Zhongchixiang to the mountain trail of Meiling until Songkou Town in Jiaying Prefecture, you can go to Chaozhou in Guangdong through the waterway of the "Nanyang Ancient Road", Chaozhou is the treaty port of the former Qing Dynasty, there are thirteen lines of merchants, at that time my grandfather thought that such a prosperous place, you can always find a bite to eat, and the situation at that time the whole family can survive one is one, so my grandfather gritted his teeth and told my second uncle to follow my cousin to Chaozhou.

Along the way, the wind and food and sleeping in the open drove a day of dry roads and two days of waterway before arriving in Chaozhou, my second uncle was already hungry, followed my cousin to find a wonton noodle stall at the dock to eat, he was full of food and felt tired of fighting with his eyes, and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes, and when he woke up, he found that he was actually in an airtight cabin, and he was densely packed with I don't know how many people!

My second uncle was more clever, and hurriedly inquired with the people around him, and it turned out that this was actually a black ship that the foreigners were going to send to Hongfan, and the ship was full of laborers who sold themselves for twenty silver dollars. My second uncle only woke up at this time, it turned out that the cousin was not at ease at all, and had already planned to sell my second uncle to foreigners for hard labor, but even if he understood it at that time, he was helpless, the cabin was crowded with people, and he couldn't turn around, how could he escape?

My second uncle was unwilling, desperately slapping the cabin to call for help, but no one responded to exhaustion, just when he was depressed, he suddenly heard a few gunshots outside, and then a burst of fighting shouts, after a while, the cabin door panel on the head "banged" and turned over, and there was an exciting roar: "Brother inside, don't panic!" Come out with me! It's a ghost who reverses this shit! ”

It was night at that time, and I saw a white-haired old man standing on the cabin holding a torch high, showing a short outfit in the slight firelight, and holding a black iron fan in his hand, which was the first time my second uncle saw such a heroic character, and I really admired it in my heart.

After everyone was dismissed, my second uncle was left alone, and when Fang Liuye saw that my second uncle was not leaving, he asked, "Huh?" Why don't you go? ”

My second uncle thought that he would starve to death when he went home, so he knelt in front of Fang Liuye and cried, Fang Liuye heard my second uncle talk about the changes in the family, and his heart softened and said: "In this case, you little boy will stay!" I'm also licking blood from the knife here, if you're not afraid of death, follow me and make straw sandals! ”

What are straw sandals? These straw sandals are the name of the lowest brother in the Three Points Society. My second uncle listened to Fang Liuye's words and turned his sorrow into joy, kowtowed on the spot and burned incense, and since then he has entered the three-o'clock meeting. My second uncle was just trying to eat a full meal, and he would have thought that the turmoil in these three o'clock meetings would be much bigger than the stormy waves at sea.

At that time, the three-point meeting in Chaozhou was originally one of the first five rooms of the Heaven and Earth Society, and the Qing court began to suppress the Heaven and Earth Society from the Kangxi period, and later the Heaven and Earth Society moved to Guangxi after the uprising in various parts of Guangdong, so that the original elite of the Heaven and Earth Society was almost lost, and the only remaining hall in Chaozhou was Hong Shuntang.

In order to escape the arrest of the Qing court, Hong Shuntang's brother changed his name to Hongmen, known as the Three Points Society, and since then opened a new hall in the wharf of Chaozhou, relying on pumping water with the merchants of the Thirteen Lines to make a living, and the brothers of the Three Points Club will also take the fast crab boat to cruise around the wharf on weekdays, assisting Shui Yong to arrest smugglers and pirates, and maintaining law and order around the wharf.

There are many rules in the three-point meeting, and they have to be ranked, from top to bottom, there are hall masters, inner eight hall deacons and outer eight hall deacons, Fang Liuye was the white fan in the inner eight halls at that time, that is, the incense master in the heaven and earth society, and he was the second chair under the hall master. My second uncle was helping Fang Liuye run errands at that time, experienced a lot of things, and learned a lot of rules in the rivers and lakes.

Later, in the 33rd year of Guangxu, due to the failure of the Ding Wei Huanggang uprising, the three o'clock meeting was involved in the case and was confiscated by the Qing court, and the second uncle escaped by going out to deliver a letter.

When Fang Liuye was dying, he left a note for my second uncle, and only instructed: "There is a stone box hidden under the north wall of the stone house here, which is the inheritance of my Hongmen for generations, and there is some silver next to it, you can take it away and settle down again, find a stone house in the countryside, and reseal the stone box into the north wall." ”

Then Sixth Master Fang sternly ordered my second uncle to swear with his life, and ordered: "The things in the stone box are said to be very evil, you must remember the following words: do not open it, bury it as soon as possible, isolate it from watertightness, and seal it into the north wall!" After saying this, Sixth Master Fang swallowed his breath.

My second uncle was grief-stricken at that time, and had no other way, so he had to take the note and find the stone house according to the address above, groped left and right under the north wall, and finally found a hollow place, and chiseled out a large leather box sealed with oilcloth, and then opened the leather box to see, and suddenly there was a burst of ecstasy in my heart, only to see that there was really a bag of silver next to the suitcase in addition to the stone box!

He hurriedly got up, wrapped it and tied it behind his back, and then sneaked away, avoiding the search of the officers and soldiers along the familiar waterway, and he had nowhere else to go at that time, so without saying a word, he took a boat to Songkou Town, and then returned to his hometown along the mountain road of Meiling.

At that time, the famine had already passed twelve years, and my grandfather and grandmother had just passed away, and my father was left alone in the family to keep filial piety. When the second uncle rushed home, he didn't think much about it, and took out the bag of silver to show my father, my father was really frightened, hurriedly closed the door, and pulled his brother to the backyard, and the two discussed all night, and moved away quietly early the next morning.

Soon after, the two brothers re-established a new mansion in Pingchuan Town, Nanwu County, my father changed his name to Lu Gaoxuan, and his second uncle changed his name to Lu Gaoyuan.

In the second year of Xuantong, my father took the eldest daughter of a local talent as his wife, and my mother gave birth to me in the third year of Xuantong. My father was already over 30 years old at that time, and he was overjoyed to have a son in his old age, and he rejoiced in thinking about the experience of these years, and only felt that there seemed to be a blessed star shining in the dark, so he named me Fusheng, and since then he has been carefully raised and loved.

My house is located in the south gate of Pingchuan Town, adjacent to the Pingchuan River, there are 100 acres of fertile land, when I was a child, there was a stone house in the low-lying backyard of the home, this house is not big but with three big locks, it is curious on weekdays. When I was fifteen years old, the Pingchuan River flooded and flooded the backyard, and the stone house was not spared, and it was soaked in the water for a day and a night.

The next day, it was the first day of October in the 15th year of the Republic of China, and on this day, I saw my second uncle hurrying inside, so I secretly followed him to the base of the wall to listen, and heard my second uncle muttering to himself: "Fortunately, fortunately, it is not flooded." "I just heard the sound of digging and didn't know what it was, but I knew it had to be important.

I was also at the age of lawlessness, and I was playful and active, and my curiosity rose when I heard about such a secret thing, so how could I not inquire about it? After the second uncle left, I looked for the chisel to sneak the cat over, did not move the door lock, directly pried the nail of the door bolt, and found that the soil was dry and loose under the north wall, obviously the treasure is buried, without saying a word, I got up the stone box, and the lock on the stone box is naturally difficult for me. When I opened the stone box, I didn't pay attention to catch my breath, and suddenly a pile of ash was raised, almost choking me to death, and finally I was able to rub my eyes to soothe it, and then I saw that it was full of ash.

At that time, it was really a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, whether it was ashes or incense ashes inside, I opened it without saying a word, and first turned out a tattered thread-bound book, I didn't even look at it, and threw it aside, why?

I hate reading books so much!

You want to say that I'm a rich kid and don't know how to learn, but I just hate reading!

Two years ago, the famous Zheng Fuzi in Nanwu County, my father specially invited him to be my teacher, but within a year, Zheng Fuzi didn't want to be tied, and he ran away unkempt.

How did you run away?

I poured a bucket of stinky urine on him, do you think he can't run?

So I just tossed the book aside and kept digging down.

First I found out a piece of copper talisman, the copper talisman was engraved with a ghost painting talisman, of course I couldn't understand it at the time, so I threw the copper talisman aside, and then touched it down and was shocked in my heart!

At that time, I felt that I was caressing my own skin, there was an inexplicable silkiness, but it was too cold, I took out the thing I was touching and looked at it, only to see that it was a roll of navy blue skin, the whole skin was about one foot wide and seven feet long, and there were dense strange words written on it, and I saw that it was one head and two big.

But the strange thing is that I looked at it, and I only felt that my eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and just as I was about to fall asleep, I felt as if someone was touching me from behind.

I panicked, thinking that the second uncle was back, and hurriedly tried to stuff things back, but one was not careful, and the lid of the stone box fell off, and the stone cover was extremely heavy, and it fell and smashed on my fingers!

I screamed in pain, raised my hand and blew hard, only to see that the tip of my middle finger was black, and it really smashed a hole, and a stream of blood came out.

At that time, I was angry and annoyed, and when I looked back, there was no one anywhere, and I was just scared of myself, so I put the stone box back into the pit with pain, and buried it hastily three times and twice, and I nailed the nail outside the door again, and restored everything to normal, and then I slipped away.

I didn't even notice that a few drops of blood fell on the skin when I was injured, and the blood was sucked up in an instant.

And from that night on, strange things came.
