Chapter 2: Father's Relic

In the blink of an eye, my dad reached the age of marriage, and was introduced to my mom. My mother became pregnant the year after they got married, and it was the year that a silver mine was discovered in the mountains, and many villagers in the neighborhood became miners, and my father was one of them.

When the silver mine was excavated, the mine spent a lot of money to invite the monks to do the work, and it took three days to officially start the work. I hope to keep the mine safe and sound, and nothing will happen.

But the good times didn't last long, and just over three months after the start of construction, there was a landslide accident on the mine, and seven or eight people died at once.

When my grandfather found out, he also persuaded my father, telling him to quit his job in the mine and learn the craft in a down-to-earth manner. But he said that the family is about to import Ding, and he wants to make more money as soon as possible, and the family is still waiting for dinner. Hearing this, Grandpa never mentioned it again.

Another month passed, and something strange happened in the mine. Since then, a miner has gone missing almost every month, and many people have quit their jobs. As soon as my father heard that the salary had been doubled, he couldn't keep his mouth shut and resolutely chose to continue working in the mine.

It's just that no one expected that a month before I was born, my dad disappeared, just like those people who disappeared inexplicably in the mine, disappeared!

Grandpa was so sad that he couldn't afford to get sick from then on. And my mom was stimulated by my dad's disappearance, forcing me to give birth more than a month prematurely.

On the night of my full moon, one of the most incredible things happened!

That night was my full moon day, and my mother was about to put me to sleep, when suddenly I felt a knock on the door outside the house. But before my mother could open the door, she saw a figure walk in, and it was none other than my missing father.

It's just that his appearance is very terrifying, his skin is black and shiny, there are no eyeballs in his eyes, as if he has been pulled off alive, his black nails are sharp like animal claws, and the whole person exudes a cautious coldness.

My mother was paralyzed with fright on the spot, and asked with a trembling mouth, "Shi, Shi, is it you?" ”

My dad didn't speak, he came straight to me and stared at me for a long time. Finally, he took out a silver flower pendant from his body, placed it beside me and left. My mom didn't have time to put on her shoes, so she went after my dad, but it was dark outside, where was my dad's figure?

My mother was frightened and immediately ran to my grandmother's house with me in her arms. I told my grandmother about it, where would my grandmother believe it? It wasn't until my mom showed my dad the pendant to my grandmother that she half believed it.

Grandma said: "Don't go back today, take the baby to stay with me first, and I'll invite someone to come and see tomorrow morning." ”

The next day, my grandmother came to Old Man Li, and he took the silver pendant that my father gave him and looked at it for a long time.

"Brother, was it really my son who came last night?" Grandma asked anxiously.

Lao Li Tou sighed and said, "It's really a sin." ”

"Brother, what the hell is going on, you should tell me quickly." My grandmother was in a hurry, she was very desperate to know if my dad was alive or dead.

"I'm afraid it was your son's grudge who came last night." Hearing Old Man Li say this, my grandmother's body shook and almost fainted, but my mother quickly helped her old man.

"My son." My grandmother has always been reluctant to believe that my dad is really dead, but now I can't bear it anymore when I hear Old Man Li say this, and the two women who hugged my mother and cried into tears.

"Old girl, you mourn, I told them a long time ago that this mountain can't be touched, hey." Old man Li sighed.

"Uncle Li, what the hell is going on, what happened to the baby's father?" My mom asked, crying.

"This mountain belongs to a branch of the Changbai Mountain Range, the entire Changbai Mountain Range has two dragon veins, one yin and one yang complement each other, the yang dragon vein is the blessed land, and this yin dragon vein is the land of death, also called the yin land, into the mortal death, the soul does not enter the underworld, eternal life can not be reborn."

Old man Li took a puff of dry tobacco and said: "This mountain is also called Laoyin Mountain, legend has it that this is a place where three things don't matter, I'm afraid there will be more people who will die, hey, it's really a crime." ”

Old man Li's words were verified later, almost all the people who went to the mine died mysteriously, and then the government spent a lot of effort to suppress this matter, and the mine was closed because of this, of course, this happened later.

"What does that baby's father mean by sending this pendant back?" My mom asked.

"I don't think I've seen the pattern on this pendant anywhere, I can't remember it for a while, big sister, I'll go back and get something." Old man Li frowned and left, and it didn't take long for him to come back with a shabby animal skin box that looked a little old.

"Wait a moment to see something, don't say anything when you hear it, you know? Take the child away first. Old man Li commanded.

Seeing this, my mother hurriedly carried me home, leaving only my grandmother and old man Li and my grandfather lying in the back room.

Old man Li opened the animal skin box, which contained a few small flags and a beast drum, Old Man Li picked up the drum and put it on his lap, and then planted the three small flags on the ground, and then the old Li said to my grandmother, "Big sister, please prepare two catties of meat and a pot of soju, and wait a while, don't be afraid, don't do anything, just look at it." ”

Grandma nodded and hurriedly went to prepare, the most important thing in the mountains is meat and wine, and after a while, my grandma was ready to bring it up.

Immediately afterwards, Old Man Li cleared his throat, and suddenly sang: "People have the road under their feet, immortals have climbed the bridge, ghosts have had a yin boat, there are immortals invited, good wine and meat are served, and please give you a face." ”

After the old man Li sang this strange song, he lowered his head, and after a cup of tea, grandma suddenly found that the cool air in the house did not know where it came from, and her back was cold, and the temperature almost dropped below zero.

The strange voice came from Old Man Li's mouth, and the voice was very high-pitched, as if someone was scratching a blackboard with their fingernails. Then the grandmother was horrified to find that the old man Li had raised his head at some point, and a pair of white eyes without pupils were looking at her coldly, and the frightened grandmother did it on the kang.

"Boy, what's the matter with me?" Said in a terrifying and shrill voice.

"I wonder which immortal family is here this time?" Old man Li said.

"The fifth master of the Hu family." The immortal who was attached to Old Man Li said.

"It turns out that the fifth master is here, and I haven't seen you for some years." Old man Li seems to have dealt with Hu Wuye for the first time.

"Don't talk nonsense, are you idle as the fifth master?" Hu Wuye said impatiently.

"This thing that the fifth master can recognize?" Old man Li pointed to the pendant on the table.

"This little bit of is also worth your fifth master? You've lived to be a dog? Huh, what is this? Hu Wuye was surprised.

"Where did this pendant come from?" Obviously, Hu Wuye was a little nervous.

Old man Li truthfully told Hu Wuye about the matter, and Hu Wuye said in a deep voice: "Old Yin Mountain? Even we don't dare to touch the things down there, you humans are really bold, hum, you deserve to die. ”

"Boy, listen to the advice of the fifth master, hurry up and move as far away as possible, I'm afraid there will be big things happening in this place, and the fifth master can't afford it." Hu Wuye came and went quickly, and Old Man Li returned to normal, but his face was pale and scary, because it took a lot of physical strength to invite the immortal to come up, Old Man Li grabbed the meat on the table and took a big bite.

Grandma was frightened by the scene just now, and it wasn't until Old Man Li had eaten and drunk enough that my grandmother reacted and hurriedly asked, "Brother, what should I do about this?" ”

"Big sister, get ready to move, you can't stay here anymore." Old man Li sighed and said.

My grandmother also heard what Hu Wuye said just now, and she was convinced of it, so my grandmother took my grandfather, my mother and I to the town from the mountains.

The town of Baihe is less than 50 kilometers away from the mountains where we used to live, where my grandmother was born and later moved into the mountains after marrying my grandfather.

To say that my life has been unfortunate from the present point of view, my grandfather passed away the year after our family moved to White River, first my father died mysteriously, and now my grandfather has also passed away, both of which hit my grandmother hard. But I never thought that when I was four years old, my mother ran away with a small boss from the south, and sometimes I wondered, did I kill a lone star?

Time passed little by little, and in a blink of an eye, I went to junior high school, and I was the only one who depended on my grandmother for all these years. The main source of income for the family is barely supported by the grandmother's stall selling insoles in the market. Unable to bear my grandmother's hard work, I dropped out of junior high school before graduating and started an apprenticeship in an auto repair shop in the town.

However, at that time, the auto repair industry was just emerging, and there were many people who did apprentices, and the wages were pitiful, only 300 yuan a month.

Three years passed in a blink of an eye, and in the summer when I was eighteen years old, my grandmother also passed away, and she left so suddenly that I couldn't even believe that my grandmother left me like this. This time I really became a loner, all my relatives left me, and my grandmother's funeral was very simple, all of which were handled by the uncles and aunts in the neighborhood. There were only three or five relatives who came, and each of them threw down a hundred yuan and said a few words of comfort before leaving.

I was lying alone in bed, tossing and turning and unable to sleep, wondering if I should go to the big city to have a look? Inadvertently touched the silver flower pendant on my neck, grandma said that this is the only thing my dad left me, and I have been let wear it on my body, I have never looked at it carefully before, so I took it in my hand and played with it, and suddenly I was a little surprised to find that this flower pendant that has been worn on the body for more than ten years has produced strange changes.
