Chapter 18 The uncle confesses the aftermath
I glanced at my uncle's study, and the door was hidden, so I pushed it open.
My uncle was sitting in the chair and said to me with a solemn face, "What happened?" How much else does follow-up treatment cost? When will she be discharged from the hospital? "Seeing that my uncle cared so much about Lin Xiao, I told him the truth. Although I know that this money is too much for my uncle, and my uncle will definitely not agree, but I will definitely be able to take out some of the money with my uncle, and if my uncle really refuses to pay too much money, I will go to the bank to take out a loan and pay it back slowly.
"Dan'er will go to the hospital and pay the money later, the most important thing is that people can live well, money is just something outside the body." After speaking, my uncle even smiled and asked me to sit down, he looked at my face and continued: "Dan'er, my uncle has only calculated hexagrams for you twice in his life, once when you were just born, and once when you went to the hospital to see Lin Xiao this morning. Uncle doesn't tell you fortunes on weekdays, do you know why? ”
"Dan'er knows that my uncle once said that there are three changes in hexagrams, and people have one constant. Those who exhaust the organs will change; Those who leak the heavenly secrets will be punished; Those who change their lives against the sky will be punished; Those who are content and happy, Ann. Uncle was afraid that Dan'er's fate would be dangerous, so he didn't tell the fortune for me, in order to spend the rest of his life in peace. "I repeated what my old uncle had taught me. The reason why my uncle didn't tell the fortune for me is because there is a kind of punishment for the seeker, which is called "luck instead of pass", that is, the fortune telling can relieve a temporary calamity, but at the same time, it will also consume the good fortune in the future, and the fortune telling can only seek temporary peace. And the proportion of this exchange is not equal, for example, you know that your gambling luck today is very good through fortune telling, and you win a lot of money in the casino, and it is likely that you will lose your family and lose your wife next time you go to gamble. Even if you don't gamble when you see a good situation, you will overcompensate in other ways, such as robbery, fire, serious illness and the like. According to my uncle, it is best to tell the fortune when you are desperate. But my uncle secretly told me two hexagrams, and he didn't tell me the hexagrams...... Could it be because the pattern of my numerology is too big and I am the chosen one? Because this is the only taboo situation for the fortune teller, unlike the one who tells the fortune teller for others, he can write a hexagram poem or point the way to the seeker, but he cannot reveal even the slightest. Otherwise, my numerology pattern will change immediately, and I will be punished by God. This is the most likely scenario, after all, I know that I was born with a different background, and it makes perfect sense to say that my numerology pattern is large, or it is the inheritance of a certain person with destiny.
"The hexagram you divined when you were born, my uncle can't reveal it, you can guess it based on your own life experience. If you have to talk about your uncle's opinion on this hexagram, it is that no matter how difficult the days will be, you must work hard to survive. Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and watch the time to change. That's it, the uncle clicked to the end. Uncle looked at me kindly and said.
"As for the second hexagram, I counted Dan'er as a marriage. The hexagram shows that you will meet a noble person in the near future, I have scrutinized it back and forth, if there is nothing wrong, I guess it is Lin Xiao, this girl. Uncle said.
"Uncle, don't make fun of Dan'er, Lin Xiao and I have only known each other for a few days, just because of hospitalization, you spent so much money in vain, there are still such nobles in the world?" When I said this, I felt that my uncle might really be old and confused. Of course, I don't dislike Lin Xiao for being a broom star and causing my family to ruin money, after all, I took the initiative to ask Lin Xiao for treatment. I just think that the so-called noble person should be able to eliminate the disaster and solve the bad luck for me, not let me lose my soul because I am afraid that she will lose her life.
"Dan'er, have you forgotten, I just told you about the blessing and misfortune. Although I don't have Lin Xiao's birth date, but with your life, no woman who is hard enough can't cover you. If she survives this catastrophe, you can get married! After my uncle finished speaking, he patted me on the shoulder and continued, "I just have some money left after I am discharged from the hospital, and you can use it as a payment for the wedding banquet, honeymoon, and decoration of the new house." ”
"How can Dan'er use the rest of the money, I haven't found a job yet, uncle, if something happens to you, the family will really be embarrassed." I persuaded my uncle not to spend any more money on me, a bad offspring.
"Dan'er is not only kind, but also a good child who is filial! Do you remember when you started your first grade, you met a fake beggar begging for us? At that time, you asked me to give him your lunch money. I asked Dan'er, if you gave him the money, aren't you afraid of going hungry at noon? You said that it didn't matter if you ate less at noon, he would definitely be very uncomfortable if he was hungry for so long. I told you directly that he was a fake beggar, but you were happier, and I asked you why you were so happy, and you said that since he was not such a poor person, wasn't that a very happy thing? After my uncle finished speaking, the two of us seemed to go back in time and return to that scene.
I cried and wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes and said, "Of course Dan'er remembers, it was my uncle who gave me the money for lunch, so I went to do things. Dan'er thought that it must be very uncomfortable for her uncle to eat less, so Dan'er decided not to give alms to the beggar anymore. ”
"Dan'er still remembers, good—good boy!" After saying that, my uncle stood up tremblingly and motioned for us to go to the ancestral hall together.
We walked to the ancestral hall, and following the direction my uncle pointed out, I saw a column below my parents' spirit tablet, and there was an additional spirit tablet with my uncle's name written on it.
"Uncle, what do you mean by this? I don't know. I looked at my uncle suspiciously.
"Uncle, I know that time is short......" Before my uncle could finish speaking, I hugged him, and suddenly, tears overflowed from the corners of our eyes.
"The yellow sky is above, and the soil is a lesson. I, Zhang Xingcan, have been raising the orphans of Engongyun Zhongzi for 24 years, and now that the child has grown up, I know that when Dan'er returns from school, I am also about to die in Huangquan. However, the fortune is shallow, and I may not be able to drink the happy wine of Dan'er......" After speaking, I put a stick of incense on each of my parents and his own spirit cards.
It wasn't just me, but there were also two kinds of cries coming from my body.
"Uncle, what do you say, it won't be like this." I comforted him.
"Dan'er, you remember, those books on divination, feng shui, exorcism, blessing and other books in the study should be read more, they are all basic, and my uncle has made annotations for you in remote places. This is my uncle's life's work, and you haven't found a job, so it's just over to you to take care of this fortune-telling parlor on a certain day. Remember, after I die, I will not mourn, I will be cremated as soon as possible, and my ashes cannot be buried, and I can only be buried after avenging my uncle. Uncle is going to the room to rest for a while, okay, that's all, don't ask anything more, just do your thing! With that, he walked to the bedroom with his hands behind his back.
Just now, when my uncle explained the aftermath, he said that he had little time and wanted me to avenge him...... That is, the uncle is about to die at the hands of others! I, on the other hand, could only watch it happen.
