The days went on day by day, repeating yesterday all day long, working, earning money, and the days of migrant workers, hard and monotonous.

However, I reconciled with Qiang Shun again, and when Qiang Shun was fine, he ran to our house, and under normal circumstances, I went out with Xiaoyan to hang out with him.

Suddenly, one day, Xiaoyan said to me very implicitly, brother, Qiang Shun will come back in the future, let's not go out together.

I laughed, a dead girl, I don't want a brother if I have a boyfriend, I think my brother is shining next to you, okay, what about after that, as soon as Qiang Shun comes to our house, I will ask him first, are you here to find Xiaoyan, or are you here to find me?

It's also in this year, in 2004, I was twenty-five years old, Qiang Shun was twenty-four years old, we generally don't say that the first year is a virtual year, and I am already twenty-six years old. This age group is already an older young man in our rural areas, and if you are not married at this age, either your family conditions are not good, or you have something wrong with you, and there is also a situation where your personal conditions are too good.

Writing this, some people may ask, do you belong to the above type? Well, to be honest, I belong to a poor family, mainly because I don't have a house at home. At that time, I also wanted to get married, and I have been guarding Huihui for so many years, and every time I go to her grave to see her, I feel that she is very happy lying there, because ...... Alas, because there are people who still think about her all the time, and think of her, and love her, and what about myself...... Alas, don't talk about it.

I belong to the kind of family without a house, three generations of grandparents and grandchildren are crammed into a dilapidated house (our family's dilapidated house is still there, I have time to take a few photos for you another day), plus I don't have a regular job, what does it look like, you think about what you can look like when you work on the construction site, you are a tender little cabbage, and after a few months of construction work, you have to make you a little black child in Africa.

In the spring of this year, my dad and his father Wang Sihe went to the brigade to apply for a homestead together, and the parents wanted to build a new house. Qiang Shun, let's not talk about him, I hooked up with my sister, and I, in my mother's words, don't even have a matchmaker if I don't build a house, it's really called Huanghe beating a generation of singles.

At that time, it was not easy to marry a daughter-in-law, of course, it is even more difficult now, at that time, the woman already had to see whether your family had a house and whether you had a regular job. If the family doesn't have a house, the individual has a regular job, and the appearance is okay, and he can barely marry a daughter-in-law. If you don't have a house at home, no matter how long you look good, and you don't have a regular job, then wait to be a bachelor for the rest of your life, or marry a second marriage, but it will take a little effort to marry a second marriage, and if you don't get it, you will have a child.

The pile foundation applied for in the spring, in the autumn, the village let the families who applied for the pile foundation go to the brigade to pinch the eggs, that is, to draw lots, but it is not a coincidence, my father suddenly caught the house where I live now, in the past, it was a dead man's pit, buried hundreds of Kuomintang soldiers who fought against the Japanese, my grandfather and my grandmother also nailed down the "Tiangang lock ghost array" here, and my grandfather also passed away early because of this.

When I saw that the homestead was pinched here, my dad was very unhappy, this place was unlucky, and it was gloomy to pass by here in the summer. My grandmother said, just build it there, and we should keep it.

This homestead, in the northeast corner of our village, Qiangshun their house, actually pinched to the southwest corner of our village, this is good, decades of neighbors on the wall, suddenly became the farthest two families in the whole village.

Construction began in the spring of 2005 and was completed in the fall of 2005.

Writing the above is just a mention by the way, not to mention that I later wrote about moving, everyone is dizzy, and then ask me when I built the house, why didn't it be written in the book.

Let's go back to the summer of 2004, after leaving Lao Ma's house, Qiang Shun and I rested at home for two days, and then went to the construction site. After the work on this construction site is finished, I remember that it seems to be the harvest of autumn, that is, the harvest of corn, after the harvest of corn, I remember that it seems to be around the National Day, or it may be around the Mid-Autumn Festival, I don't remember very clearly, our contractor contracted another job, not too far from our village, in our village is a little north and east.

This job is a three-storey building in the office building model, this building is a sitting north facing south, the door is facing a T-shaped road, a big road from east to west, just south is facing the 107 National Highway, 107 National Highway to it here to the east turn, this place even if there is no feng shui common sense people also know, particularly unlucky, rushed the "T-shaped brake".

When we went there, the foundation and the ring beams had been laid, and we were waiting for the bricks to be laid, and when we had unloaded our tools there, we hit a car in the distance and stopped on the side of the road.

As soon as the car door opened, three people got out of the car, two came down first, one in his thirties and one in his forties, both of whom were in suits and leather shoes, quite decent. The last one to come down, wearing a pair of brown sunglasses, a dark blue tunic, and an old-fashioned black leather bag in his hand, walked unhurriedly and steadily.

This man could probably be about sixty years old, with a black face, slender eyes, a wide toad mouth, and a little bit of a top, and a medium build.

The other two people accompanied this person to our place, and our contractor hurriedly greeted them, at this time, I heard the workers next to me say that these two people are the owner of the house, that is, the boss, and this building is built at their expense.

I asked the worker, who is the old man with brown glasses and a tunic suit? The worker shook his head.

After a while, the contractor came back and told us to stop what we were doing first, and the master invited a "wind fairy" to see feng shui.

"Wind Words Fairy", is our dialect here, that is, Mr. Feng Shui, I wrote this is homophonic, dialect, I can only speak, I don't know how to write in writing, in the past I wrote "wind and words blind", and then I thought about it, it seems that no one pronounced the word "blind", it is estimated that it is "fairy", and then the more I think about it, the more I feel that it is a "fairy", not "blind".

When the contractor told us this, I immediately understood, no wonder this person looked different from others, it turned out to be a folk stranger.

When the workers heard this, they were all very curious, so they stopped anyway, and they all gathered around to watch the excitement, and Qiang Shun and I also followed.

Then the old man walked up to the well-made ring beam, and took out an object from his old-fashioned leather bag, and held it in his hand, and when I looked at it, it seemed to be of brass, and it was as flat as a mirror, and it was slightly smaller than a palm.

Qiang Shun asked me in a low voice at this time, "Is it a compass that he took out?" ”

I nodded.

In the past, when I was with Chen Hui, I saw many people use it, but after returning home, this is the first time I have seen it used in our neighborhood. This thing, basically a special tool for Mr. Feng Shui, is mainly used to determine the direction, the stars, the door of life and death, it is said that it can also be used for divination, many movies and books, it is said that this thing can measure yin qi, can measure the direction of ghosts, don't believe this, believe it and you will be fooled.

In the past few years with Chen Hui, we have seen a lot of liars who bluff people with a compass, saying that a spell can make the compass pointer point out the ghost, now I think about it I laugh, this is simply impossible, in fact, there are other things on these people, as for what I won't say, saying it is likely to create a few big liars to come out, as soon as they move the thing on their bodies, the compass pointer will swing back and forth, looking very similar to that, first scare you, say that your family has a very fierce ghost or something, and then the lion opened his mouth to ask you for money. If you want to say that the exorcism is measured with a compass, to be honest, I haven't seen it until now, before Lin Zhengying's movie came out, the compass was not used to measure ghosts at all, many people were misled by the movie, and that Maoshan Taoist, just a branch of Taoism, there is no exorcism at all, the real exorcism is folk witchcraft, in the past, because Taoism was prevalent, many wizards disguised themselves as "Taoists" to improve their identity, especially Maoshan Yimai, the most imitated, the real Maoshan Taoist, you have to ask him, will you catch ghosts, Definitely brings tears to your eyes.

I solemnly say it here, in reality, don't believe it if you use a compass to detect a ghost in your house!

To get back to the point, the little old man took the compass around the foundation, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the gate, and said to the two lords, "Build a flower bed two feet high and six feet round here." He said "six-foot circle", that is, the inner diameter of the round flower bed is six feet.

The 30-year-old master was not happy when he heard this, and asked the old man, Master Zhang, this is the main gate of our building, why do you go out after building a flower bed? This master's house means that there is no place to block the door of his house.

When I heard it at this time, I also felt that it was a little too unreasonable, but I didn't know whether this "Master Zhang" was a real trick or a fake trick.

This Master Zhang said to the two masters, your gate is against the T-shape, people can't come out of the front of the gate, they will be stained with evil spirits, people go to both sides of the flower bed, don't plant flowers in the flower bed, plant an evergreen tree, pine and cypress trees.

Later, the main family really did what Master Zhang said, and the flower bed was still led by the foreman to let me practice with Qiang Shun and the two people, and after the foundation was built, the main family got a little soil and planted a cypress tree. The flower bed didn't really block the gate, it was less than three meters away from their main gate. At the back of the flower bed, this Master Zhang explained to the two masters and buried a "Taishan stone dare to be". This practice was also a bit puzzling at the time, because this kind of stone is generally buried in front of the building, even if it is buried, it should be buried in front of the flower bed in front of the T-junction, and I have not seen it buried in the back.

Later, I learned that this is called "Zangfeng" in Feng Shui, and it is also called "Don't use the hidden dragon" in the Book of Changes. When I was 30 years old, that is, five years later, they had a car accident here, when a drunk driver came from the south side of 107, driving a small car, straight towards their building, there were many people in the building at that time, and the car "banged" into the cypress tree in the flower bed, the cypress tree had grown for five years, although the trunk was only the thickness of a person's calf, but the car crashed and scrapped but the tree was not broken, it was quite evil, and the people in the building were all safe and sound except for being frightened.

After explaining the flower bed here, this Master Zhang took the compass and turned around, I found that he was turning clockwise just now, this time it was counterclockwise, after the turn, he said to the two masters, in the northeast corner of the house, put on a column, the column was engraved with "Yongzhen Zhai'an", and then painted red with cinnabar, when building the house, build it into the wall.

What is the reason for this, Master Zhang said that the feng shui in the northeast corner of this house is low, and after the house is built, it is easy to recruit unclean things in this direction, and if people live in it, it is easy to get that kind of minor disease that cannot be cured for a long time.

After saying this, this Master Zhang turned his head and glanced coldly at a hotel next to him to park and stay, and immediately said "yo" in his mouth, turned his head and said to the two main families, as well as a group of us, this hotel is not clean, you had better not go anywhere, when the wall is built, the wall is more than two meters high and the red flag is planted in the four corners, if the red flag is not planted, there will be an accident, but remember it.

After saying this, the two masters left with this Master Zhang.

Qiang Shun looked at the car in the distance at this time, and asked me in a low voice, "Huang He, this old man looks like a big fairy, can't he be a liar?" ”

I laughed and said, "Didn't he just say that the hotel next to it is not clean, is it a liar, you can just open your yin and yang eyes and see." ”
