Chapter 19: Misfortune and Blessing Lie Behind
The cigarette butt on the side of his mouth kept going on and off, "You don't know, Jian Xing, you originally had an older brother...... "The father snuffed out the cigarette butt again, and sat upright, "Jian Xing, you remember!" Your life was given by your brother! ”
"Huh?!" In just a few sentences, I had thousands of questions in my mind, and I couldn't accept them for a while. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"How can I have a brother?"
"I don't believe in immortals, Buddhas don't belong to the Buddha, the Tao, but I learned the ability to communicate with gods and ghosts to walk yin and yang, in fact, I am an ordinary person who can point to the door, how can I not be tempted when I see money and see power? In addition, when I was young, I was frizzy and frizzy, I didn't know what it was, and I went to learn some magic to exorcise ghosts and enslave me, which harmed many people. The father looked sad and continued, "I fight with the sky, with people, with ghosts! It wasn't until the old man almost beat me to death that I woke up, and I realized that I had done too much damage to the Feng family, and I had damaged too much yin virtue......
"I was enlightened!" My father stood up and said, "Although I am a bastard, I have never dared to act boldly!" I'm not embarrassed in front of you, I Feng Sheng once made my first son Feng Guang a golden boy. ”
The silent thunder seemed to slash at my head, stirring my brain blank.
"Jian Xing! Come with me! Let's go to the incense hall. My father didn't care about my emotional reaction, and just opened the door and left.
"Come on," said the mother to the Jeep apprentice.
I was pulled by my father, and I had mixed feelings in my heart. I know that since I was a child, I was not allowed to go near the incense hall in the courtyard. That little dark room always brought endless fantasy and horror to me when I was a child. I tried to turn the pages of my memory, and the broken memories could only tell me that I had been beaten by my grandfather one day for knocking over the tribute in the hall.
"Squeak-" The narrow wooden door opened, making an ancient sound.
"Get on your knees!" My father's voice interrupted my train of thought, "Follow me!" Unfilial son Feng Jianxing! Kneel and knock on grandfather Feng Bingrong, eldest brother Feng Guang! ”
"Unfilial son, Feng Jianxing, kneel and knock on grandfather Feng Bingrong, eldest brother Feng Guang."
Mother and Jeep came in one after another, and Mother lit the oil lamp, and the dim light of the fire spread in a circle, and the little house suddenly became more crowded.
Above the incense platform was the spiritual seat of the grandfather, and a white porcelain doll wrapped in red brocade, the air was filled with the smell of burning sandalwood, and the surroundings were neat and tidy, and there was not a single dust falling anywhere.
The father handed three sticks of sandalwood and said in a much softer tone: "Come, give incense to grandpa and eldest brother." ”
"I'm ......" my hands couldn't help but tremble, "Grandpa, eldest brother, unfilial descendants, came to see you." ”
"Guang'er was eight pounds and four taels when he was born, this kid can eat and drink, but he is much better than you!" The father lit three sandalwood sticks and inserted them on the incense burner, "Old man, look, your grandson has come to see you." ”
"Dad, why didn't you bring me to worship Grandpa for so many years?"
The father folded his hands and knelt down before the spirit, "Kowtow!" ”
"Dad?" I won't kowtow until I hear the answer.
“…… Because I didn't find it, I didn't find anything. I tried to find it, but it didn't work to use his birthday. He wrote off all the accounts in the local City God Temple. Now kowtow. ”
The back in my mind resurfaced before my eyes - an old man dressed in black, holding a butter paper umbrella, gradually disappearing into the dark night, slowly turning into the cold of the whole winter.
"Boom." I resisted the desire to cry, one at a time, and slammed my head on the ground covered with green bricks.
"Huh-" my father said with a sigh of relief, "Guang'er didn't get sick once when she was three years old, and I thought that the sky was pitiful, and it really gave me a chance to repent...... I lived cautiously, but ah, one day I was still repairing tractors for others, and Guang'er was playing alone at the door, he suddenly ran over and asked me, I don't know a person named Chen Xuan, I didn't react, Guang'er left...... Hehe, that Chen Xuan, is the gambler I met at the gambling table when I was a bastard, and I used the ghost to beat him in order to win his money. ”
The father raised his head and quietly wiped away his tears, "At that time, I remembered who the unjust creditor was. I won 8,000 from Chen Xuan that night, and the guy came home and stabbed himself with a knife...... When I put Guang'er in the urn, I calculated an account, and it was exactly eight thousand with the cemetery and the funeral. The father's voice was already a little whimpering, and the mother who was standing next to her covered her mouth and sobbed.
"Since then, I have never dared to touch anything related to yin and yang, and I have never dared to walk at night, but when my mother has you, I can no longer ......" my father said with a long sigh of relief, "When you were nine months old, when your mother was about to give birth, I ran to the grave mountain overnight to dig up your brother's ashes...... He has been made like this, and he has become a golden boy who bears the calamity for you. The old man scolded me for thirty years, only that day he didn't speak. The father lowered his head and spoke very hard and heavy.
"Grandpa said that you kid has to be a ghost, so before and after two weeks of you, I only let you eat rice porridge mixed with yellow paper ashes, and then I took over the funeral work so that our family can live in the funeral home, so your soul is also delicate, and the soul is bleak like a person who has half a body into the loess...... No matter what, you survived, survived without danger, until today. ”
"Jian Xing, I never allow you to read grandpa's books, and I myself have always done some ghost magic in front of you, just to prevent you from stepping on our old path." The father shook his head and laughed at himself: "But who knows you, you have been raised by us like this since you were a child, and the guests who collided with you are countless, but in the end you were born with a half-yin and half-yang physique." You obviously haven't learned any of the methods, but you can communicate with heaven and earth as long as you recite the mantras in the book. But I don't accept it, I always think that as long as the family lives, as long as I make good money, as long as you study hard, our family can leave here and never come back......" My father took out the last cigarette and crumpled it in his hand......
"When I found out that your bell was wrong, I began to feel uneasy, I was afraid that the fate of my Feng family destined to serve the ghosts and gods from generation to generation would fall on you, so when the Taoist priest came to beg me, I strongly objected, but now there is no chance, Yin Si will come to take your life sooner or later, and finally my means to save my son made my eldest son beg for death, and let my second son have no way to survive."
The oil lamp swayed from side to side, reflecting my shadow on the mottled wall, thin and long. I looked at this man, and I never thought he would be so old today. I listened quietly, filled with bitterness.
