Chapter Seventy-Seven: It's All Retribution
The lost cow struggled with quick eyes and hands, and when he saw that the old man was about to kneel, he slipped aside.
The heart said: If you kneel for no reason, I am afraid that your son's coffin board will not be able to hold it.
"Hurry up and help your father up, we have something to say, okay?" The first time I saw someone so old kowtow to himself, it was a big scene, and Niu Struggle was still a little panicked.
The eldest son helped his father up, and he fell to his knees again.
Niu Struggle was speechless in his heart, and said in his heart What is wrong with this family, since he has opened his mouth, he must be helping, can he use this. Seeing that there was nowhere to hide, he simply knelt down and said, "Come on, come on, kneel together, Taoyuan Sanjieyi?" ”
"What are you doing here, sir?" The old man panicked.
"What? Kneeling young, but you want to lose your life, what do you say I do, if you think this is not like this, let's all stand up and say okay. I've said it all, I'm not cheating money, it's purely out of kindness, and I will definitely help if I can! ”
The three of them finally stood up.
Only then did Niu Struggle say to the old man: "Let me ask you, does your mother carry any iron guy with her?" ”
The old man thought for a while, and suddenly said: "It's true, my mother has bad legs and feet, and she has been carrying an iron-tipped cane, and after using it for more than ten years, there is nothing else, unless someone puts something in for her." ”
"That's right, it should be the crutch, it must be a personal belonging, someone else put it in, it's useless. In fact, this matter is also very easy to do, you dig up the remains of the old man, find a good cemetery, and bury them well. As for the crutch, I see that there seems to be a temple in the north of your village, isn't it? ”
"Yes, yes, yes, there is indeed a temple," said the eldest son.
"What temple, how many years has it been?"
"It is a city god temple, it is said that there was a temple in the Qing Dynasty, but it was demolished later, and it was rebuilt in the first few years when the village raised funds."
"Can a monument be erected in the temple?" Niu Struggle asked.
"Erect a monument? Yes, as long as you donate money, you can set up a merit monument. ”
"Well, that's easy to do, your family, pay some money, go to the temple to erect a monument, and then press this crutch under the monument. Old man, you go to the city god, put incense on the pillar, and pray and pray. After all, she is your biological mother, and she does not mean to embarrass your children and grandchildren, let alone embarrass you. It's really because, your old mother, died unjustly. And if my guess is right, the place to die is too bad! Niu Struggle sighed.
When the old man heard this, he was anxious again: "Where is my mother in the yard, please give me advice!" ”
"Yes, master, where is my grandmother, I'll find someone to dig it up at once," said the eldest son, too, eagerly.
Niu Struggle almost sprayed, and his heart said that this person was also upright when he spoke, "Where is grandma, I'll dig it", damn, and quickly said: "This yard of your house is changed from an old house, and I see that the door is still an old object." ”
"Yes, it was changed from the old house."
"Well, was the southeast corner a latrine before?"
"How does the gentleman know?" The old man was surprised.
"This is not difficult, your houses here are all sitting in the north and facing south. The ancients were particular about building houses, like this kind of house facing north and south, the gate is either facing east or west, and it will never open to the south. The latrine is a place to hide dirt and dirt, but it is also a place to gather wealth, and it is generally built at a declination angle opposite to the direction of the gate, so that it can not only suppress the filth, but also leave wealth. The door of your house faces west, and the latrine must be in the southeast corner. Your old mother, right under the southeast corner, is that clear? Niu Struggle said meaningfully.
"You mean to say that my mother was pushed into the latrine and drowned? No wonder my mother just disappeared back then, and my godfather changed the toilet into a warehouse, dog's day, it's too ruthless! In order to keep me, he actually used such despicable means, I, I, I, I am angry with me" The old man gritted his steel teeth and was furious.
"Old man, I have a good word for you, you listen to me first!"
"What else is there to say, I'm not done with his family, I'll go and dig up the ancestral grave of that dog thing tomorrow!" The old man has gone into madness.
"Okay, it's not over, stop it" Niu Struggle roared, he was not angry, when people are crazy, they should stop drinking in time, but it is beneficial.
This sound really had an effect, the old man hit a spirit, suddenly came to his senses, and said very embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I lost my temper, you say!" ”
"The past is gone. When it comes to responsibility, don't you? The cycle of cause and effect, retribution is not stopped, and being able to forgive the mistakes of predecessors is actually a merit, and what you lack now is merit. I'm willing to help your family, I hope you can live a good life, not let your family die, understand? ”
"What the master said makes sense, Dad, don't be angry, let's worship grandma in the future and ask for her understanding!" The eldest son persuaded.
"Well, listen to sir, what are we going to do then?"
"Pick up the house in the southeast corner, get up the old man's remains and find a place to bury them, as for that place, don't do anything else, plant a few peach trees, take care of them, if the peach trees can bloom and bear fruit, it means that your old mother has forgiven you." If the peach tree can't live, then I'm powerless, anyway, doing more good deeds should be about the same. ”
The eldest son smiled and said: "Master rest assured, what is the relationship between life and death, the grievances and grievances of the elderly, as a child, I should naturally bear it, but no matter what the result, I will serve the elders of the family well, and I will also serve my poor grandmother well." ”
"That's right. I'll talk about your grandmother's spirits until your brother is buried. What I'm saying should be eight or nine or ten, even if you don't believe it, don't worry. When the time comes, if something is wrong, you can come to the funeral home to find me, and I will be responsible for it to the end, oh, by the way, my name is Niu Struggle. ”
"Believe, how can you not believe it, sir, I didn't expect you to have such great ability at such a young age. The old man was offended at first, don't care, don't worry, I will do what you tell me, and the past will be over! The old man said slowly, and he could see that he was still very sad in his heart.
"Hey, let it go. Okay, it's time for me to go, then take my leave! The cow struggled to get up and was about to leave.
The old man grabbed him and said to his son: "Go and take out all the money put in the family, Mr. has helped our family so much, this kindness cannot be repaid!" ”
"Don't, I've already accepted a share of your money with a clear conscience, how can I have it again, if you give it again, then I don't care what happens to your family in the future!" Niu struggled sternly refused.
The eldest son was in a dilemma, the old man said that he couldn't do anything, he just didn't let go, Niu Struggle was helpless and finally said: "You see if this will work, isn't your eldest daughter-in-law about to be happy, how about I ask for a full moon wine when the time comes." Let's just treat it as a friend, and it's vulgar to withdraw money. ”
"How do you know that my daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and my second brother has an accident, I didn't dare to let her come over!"
"Sir, you can see what you are capable of. Okay, then let's treat it as a friend, don't mention the money, and when the time comes, I'll go and invite you in person! ”
"That's right, old man, take care of your body, death is death, and the living are great. Also, big brother, honor your parents well, you have a heavy responsibility! ”
The old and the young, nodding sadly, personally sent the oxen out, got into the car, and then followed the hearse for some distance until it left the village.
Guo Qingqing couldn't help it for a long time, she kept lying outside the window and listening, everything was heard clearly, at this moment, she struggled with the cow, in addition to worship or worship, but she didn't say it, but pretended to be unconvinced: "Look at what you can, if people can't find the old lady's bones, see how you end?" ”
Niu Zhan slapped the iron sheet behind him hard, and shouted at the carriage behind the coffin: "Hey, you get up and tell this girl, am I right?" ”
Guo Qingqing was excited, the steering wheel was almost not stable, and he knew that he was still obedient, so it was better not to provoke this scoundrel.
However, after a pause, he couldn't help but ask, "Can you tell me now, how did you find his house?" ”
"You admit defeat?" Niu Zhan said with a wicked smile.
"Admit it, say it quickly!" Guo Qingqing replied angrily.
"Hehe, then I'll see you tomorrow, but I want to change into beautiful clothes, it doesn't matter if you're sexy, I don't care very much, haha!"
"Get out, why are you talking so much nonsense, say it quickly!"
