Chapter 1 Topaz Village
In Chongqing, there is a village called Huangyu Village, and since the 50s, every household in the village has started to make wreaths, incense candles and other things related to funerals.
The strange thing is that since this Topaz Village started to do this dead man's business, the whole village has gone up and down, one hundred and thirty-six households, as long as they give birth to children, all of them are girls, not a single male, and over time, the men in the village basically come in from the outside.
The people who were nearby who were interested in the villagers of Topyu Village who made money said that it was the people of Topaz Village who made money from the dead, so they suffered retribution.
Even after the news of this matter spread, there were several experts from Beijing who said that they wanted to investigate, suspecting that Huangyu Village was the daughter country recorded in Journey to the West, and as a result, the village chief of Huangyu Village took people to beat him directly.
After a long time, even the people of Topaz Village thought that it was really related to their earning of dead money.
But in the second half of 1990, the village chief's family gave birth to a boy for the first time.
The upside-down door is not counted among them, this man can be said to be the first male born in Huangyu Village in fifty years, and he is also an eight-pound fat boy.
This made the whole village very happy, and they all went to the village chief's house to say goodbye.
The village chief's name is Linford, don't look at him as kind and kind-eyed, but when he beat those scientists who came to 'investigate', he was the most ruthless.
When he learned that he had given birth to a little grandson, he was so happy that he almost went to see the Lord of Hades in advance, but he was able to stabilize his breath.
Linford directly invited a drama troupe, and on the night of the second day of the child's birth, he invited the whole village to watch the play and drink, and the whole village was in the midst of this great event.
From time to time, a little girl from the village will run over, curiously looking at why the newborn cub is so foreign, and it is so pompous when she is born.
When the entire Topaz Village was happy and lively, a Taoist priest dressed in tatters came from outside the village.
This Taoist priest looked to be in his thirties, dressed in tatters, his face was dirty, he hadn't taken a bath for a long time, and there was a gourd hanging from his waist.
When the villagers of Huangyu Village saw the Taoist priest coming, they immediately greeted him happily, and then invited the Taoist priest to eat and drink together.
Since the villagers of Huangyu Village are engaged in the business of dead people, they will inevitably encounter some strange things, and they have to ask some Taoist priests or Mr. Yin and Yang to help, so they have a very good attitude towards Taoist priests.
The villagers drank two meals with the Taoist priest, and heard that the Taoist priest claimed that his surname was Mao, and he had come from the far north to run errands.
When Lin Fude heard that the Taoist priest was coming, he secretly glanced at it twice, and found that although the Taoist priest was dressed in tatters, his conversation was extraordinary, so he walked forward with his newborn grandson in his arms, and said with a smile: "Daoist Wanfu, my grandson has just been born, since the Taoist chief is passing by, why don't you help my grandson take a look at his face?" ”
Mao Daochang ate the wine, and did not postpone it, and then glanced at the big fat boy, not to mention, this big fat boy is white and clean, chubby, with his eyes closed, but he doesn't cry or make trouble.
Seeing this, Daoist Mao frowned, and looked Lin Fu up and down: "Village Chief, can you give me Ling Sun's birthday?" ”
Lin Fu saw Mao Daochang frowning, and his heart chuckled.
The whole village is engaged in the business of the dead, which family has not encountered the evil sect?
He hurriedly asked someone to write out his grandson's birthday and handed it to Mao Daochang.
"At noon on the 15th day of September in the year of Gengwu?" Daoist Mao pinched his fingers, looked at Lin Fude and said, "Village Chief Lin, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”
Linford's heart tightened, he was this precious grandson, could it be that what else could go wrong? Thinking of this, he eagerly said to Daoist Mao: "Daoist is okay to say. ”
When Mao Daochang heard this, he looked at Lin Fu with a smile and asked: "It is rumored that your Huangyu Village, for decades, has only given birth to girls, not men, I don't know if it is true or false?" ”
When Linford heard this, he was a little suspicious, obviously he was showing his grandson's face, how could he get involved in this question, but since they asked, he also nodded.
"And do you know why?"
Lin Fu naturally didn't know that this matter had always been a problem in their Huangyu Village, and seeing Daoist Mao ask, Lin Fu said: "People outside are rumored that we made money from the dead, so we suffered retribution." ”
When he said this, Linford looked at Mao Daochang with some weakness, after all, it is not very good to make money from the dead.
Seeing him say this, Mao Daochang waved his hand: "They are jealous that you make a lot of money, nonsense, you make these things, those ghosts will only be grateful, you are accumulating blessings, how can there be any retribution." ”
"Your village will become like this, it should be other reasons, I don't know, come to think of it, in the past fifty years, this boy suddenly appeared, and this boy should be the key to solving the problem of your Topaz Village."
Lin Fu looked at Mao Daochang and asked, "You mean, my grandson can solve the problems of our village?" ”
"That's right." Mao Daochang nodded.
The surrounding villagers, when they heard Mao Daochang's words, their faces showed joy, and they discussed the child in a low voice.
Mao Daochang pondered for a moment and said, "However, you kid is not easy to support, I calculated just now, Ling Sun is Ziwei's life." ”
Although Lin Fu led the whole village to make a fortune, he didn't know a dime about this aspect of things, and asked: "Chief Mao, what is Ziwei life?" Why is it so hard for my grandson to feed? ”
Mao Dao pondered for a moment and said: "In ancient times, crape myrtle represented the emperor. This is the life of the natural emperor, if he was born in ancient times and was known, he would have to be killed immediately, so as not to be killed by the nine clans. ”
Hearing this, Lin Fude breathed a sigh of relief, now it is a society ruled by law, no better than the previous feudal society.
Seeing Lin Fude's relaxed face, Mao Daochang said: "Don't be too happy, countless demons and monsters want to eat people with crape myrtle in their dreams." ”
When Lin Fu heard it, isn't his grandson the Tang monk meat in the drama?
Hurriedly asked, "Dao Chief, isn't there any solution?" ”
"Unless you let me bring him up." Mao Daochang said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Linford shook his head vigorously, the whole village, such a boy was born, how could he still be given to outsiders to raise?
Seeing this, Mao Daochang smiled, understood what Lin Fu meant, and said: "It's better to be like this, let you take this child with you before he is seven years old, and after the age of seven, I will raise him until he is twelve years old and then send him back to you, only in this way can I save his life, otherwise, he will not live until he is eight years old." ”
When Lin Fu heard this, he thought about it for a while, and Mao Daochang did not say that he would let his grandson go with him now, but leave when he was seven years old, and this matter was related to his grandson's life.
Thinking of this, Linford also agreed.
As time passed, Lin Fu's grandson gradually grew up and was named Lin Xiaofeng.
Lin Xiaofeng, this kid, has grown up with a golden key since he was a child, other children, maybe the elders of the family spoil him, but he is different.
The whole village treated him like a treasure, and wherever he wanted to eat, the family immediately got all the good meat and vegetables.
And when Lin Xiaofeng was seven years old, even if he was reluctant, Lin Fude also contacted Mao Daochang and asked Mao Daochang to take Lin Xiaofeng away.
As for where Lin Xiaofeng and Daoist Mao went and what they did, no one knew clearly, and they waited for Lin Xiaofeng to come back from Daoist Mao.
Lin Xiaofeng has nothing other peculiar except that he has grown up, when someone asks where Lin Xiaofeng went and what he did with the Mao Daochang, Lin Xiaofeng kept his mouth shut about the Mao Daochang.
In a flash, Lin Xiaofeng was seventeen years old.
