It wasn't until it was dawn that my parents took me out in a panic, riding a girder bicycle and rushing to Wangzhuang like two gusts of wind.

It was already six o'clock when I came to the mass grave mountain, and Lao Chai Tou was holding a broom to clean the soil in front of the door, in fact, the small area in front of Lao Chai Tou's house was very clean, but Lao Chai Tou was sweeping absent-mindedly like that, and he would sigh from time to time.

Seeing us coming from afar, Lao Chai Tou suddenly became happy, especially when he saw me, I felt that Lao Chai Tou was about to laugh like a flower. But then I probably noticed that something was wrong with my parents' faces, and Lao Chai Tou's face became solemn.

It wasn't until my dad parked the bicycle in front of Lao Chai Tou's house that Lao Chai Tou asked my dad: "What's wrong?" Yangyang has an accident again? ”

This time, Lao Chai Tou failed to predict as uncertain as in the past.

My dad didn't care about this, just nodded at the old chaitou. This time, when my dad and Lao Chai Tou looked at each other, there was no rejection and guilt in their eyes, as if a knot in their hearts had been unraveled.

I just sat on the back seat of my bicycle and giggled at the old firewood.

Anyway, after finding Lao Chai Tou, our family was finally completely relieved.

Lao Chai Tou invited us into the house, made a good pot of tea for my parents, and made me a bowl of soup. I found that when Lao Chai Tou was making soup, he deliberately used his body to block the soft "strange meat", as if he was afraid that my parents would see it. It was also when Lao Chai Tou was making soup that my father told the story of what happened during this time.

At this time, I realized that my father and my mother had long thought that the copper lock was abnormal, and since hanging the lock on the door beam, my parents not only kept getting sick, but also became very lazy when they got home. Recently, my dad and my mom have made up their minds to remove the copper lock almost every day before they go home, but every time they get home, they don't bother to touch it, or even bother to look at it.

And it was only at this time that I remembered that for more than two months, I didn't seem to have eaten properly, not because I didn't want to eat, but because my parents were too lazy to do it.

Lao Chai Tou put the thick soup on the table beside me, and told me to go and get a piece of candy to eat first, and then sat on the kang and habitually lit the smoking pot.

"According to what you say, that old lady Li should be a fake layman." Lao Chai Tou took a puff of his cigarette and said lightly.

My dad nodded and didn't say anything, but my mom said with some confusion: "Actually, I also wonder, why did Xiao Zhang have a smooth life after finding her?" ”

My dad next to him sighed: "Xiao Zhang is dead." ”

As soon as these words came out, my mother was also startled: "Dead? Wasn't it okay a while ago? ”

My dad also lit a cigarette and said sullenly: "Just half a month ago, the factory opened a bathhouse, and when Xiao Zhang went to take a bath, he fell into the boiler and boiled him alive." However, many people in the factory rumored that Xiao Zhang did not fall into the boiler that day, but he opened the boiler door and climbed in. ”

Being boiled alive in a boiler is a terrible sight to think about. My mother looked a little unbearable and sighed: "Alas, such a good person, why can't you think about it like this." ”

Lao Chai Tou shook his head: "He forcibly changed his fortune, and he will be punished." This is not an easy task, the old lady's way is deep. ”

Hearing Lao Chai Tou say this, my parents became a little nervous. Mrs. Li's Taoism is deep? How is it a deep method? Deeper than the old firewood? Can Lao Chai Tou deal with it?

Lao Chai Tou seemed to see through my parents' thoughts at a glance, shook the smoke pot, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, she just has a way, and it is also an evil way. Okay, you've got tea, go to work, go to school, go to school. Tonight, I'll go to your house for dinner, don't forget to stir-fry a few good dishes, of course, wine is also indispensable, hehe. ”

Today, Lao Chai Tou seems to be in a particularly good mood, and he speaks more casually than before. After saying this, Lao Chai Tou tapped his finger on my forehead again, and said with a smile: "Did you still want to take the opportunity to take a leave of absence and not go to school?" ”

I didn't expect Lao Chai to see through me at a glance!

From beginning to end, Lao Chai Tou didn't blame my dad for not trusting him at the beginning and didn't move to the bus station. I think Lao Chai Tou should also know that the main reason why my father didn't do what he said was that he didn't want to affect my studies.

After coming out of Lao Chaitou's house, my father sent me to school, and my mother called the milk company to ask for a leave, saying that since she had returned to Wangzhuang, she should go to see my uncle, who had not seen her for two months, and my uncle must have been very concerned about our family.

For the whole day, I didn't go to class properly, and although I was still sitting in the classroom, my mind had already flown out of the clouds. In addition, my parents were too anxious when they took me out, and they didn't bring me a schoolbag, so I didn't have a textbook, so I could only read one with Liu Shanang.

By the way, my tablemate is Liu Shangang, because I am a bad boy in the teacher's mouth, and when I divide the seats, no one wants to share a table with me except Liu Shangang.

Liu Shangang is also the leader of our team on duty, not only responsible for receiving the broom when cleaning, but also responsible for collecting homework, and writing down those who have not handed in their homework in a small notebook and handing it to the teacher.

I finished my summer homework, but I really didn't bring my schoolbag, and I didn't have anything to do with handing in my homework. But with my relationship with Liu Shangang, even if I don't do my homework, my name won't appear in that little notebook.

Thinking about it later, I was really innocent at that time. If it were someone else, with a group leader like Liu Shangang, why would he be stupid enough to finish all his summer homework?

But if it weren't for my homework, I wouldn't have sat at the desk most of the day, and without the spirit left by the old firewood to protect me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had the opportunity to talk to you here.

Many times, simplicity and honesty are really a life-saving medicine.

After school at noon, I went to my uncle's house to eat, and my uncle saw my special dear, and even cooked at noon to make me small tofu to eat. Originally, my uncle wanted to ask Lao Chai Tou to come home for dinner, but when he went to look for Lao Chai Tou, there was no one at Lao Chai Tou's house.

This made me a little worried, for fear that Lao Chai Tou would not come to our house at night.

As soon as I got out of school in the afternoon, I hurried back home, and as soon as I entered the house, I heard a very reassuring voice from the living room: "Yangyang Mom, do you have any rags at home?" ”

After that, my mother came out of the kitchen with a rag, and I followed my mother into the living room, and I saw the old firewood sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding a cigarette stick in his left hand and a copper lock in his right hand.

My mother handed the rag to Lao Chai Tou, who looked up at me and said with a smile: "Listen to your mother, you removed this lock?" ”

I nodded as if I was invited, and the old firewood smiled, but ignored me, and wiped it vigorously on the copper lock with a rag.

My mother asked Lao Chai Tou on the side: "Uncle Chai, what is going on with this copper lock, why did I feel dizzy as soon as Aiguo hung it on the door beam that day." ”

Lao Chai Tou wiped the copper lock and said, "This is not a copper lock, it looks like copper, because it is coated with a layer of copper paint on the outside." ”

While speaking, Lao Chai Tou put the lock on the table, and saw that a piece of copper paint on the lock surface had been wiped off by Lao Chai Tou, revealing a piece of porcelain white, and a little gray brown in the white, but it was difficult to see if you didn't look carefully.

The old firewood took a long puff of his cigarette and said, "This lock is pressed out of bone slag, and there is a spell engraved on it. The gate of your house is in the southeast, and in terms of location, the southeast direction of your house is indeed an auspicious place for the main wealth and health, and the old lady asked you to hang this thing in the southeast, which not only blocked the flow of good fortune, but also allowed the filthy gas in the house to stay. In this way, the aura of your home has become a pool of stagnant water, the good ones can't get in, the bad ones can't get out, the aura is blocked, and you will feel uncomfortable, which is also a matter of course. ”

Listening to what Lao Chai Tou said, I picked up the copper lock on the table with some curiosity and looked very hard, only to see that those gray-brown dots were actually some very small words, but that kind of text did not look like a man at all, and I didn't understand it after reading it for a long time.

Later, my mother asked Lao Chai Tou why the sound of knocking on the window in the middle of the night disappeared after the copper lock was hung up?

This time, Lao Chai Tou didn't answer my mother directly, but just said that he would only know the reason when he saw the old lady, and went straight to the balcony to smoke.

My dad came home at almost seven o'clock, and when he came back, he bought beer and liquor, and my mom copied a few good dishes. But when my mother was just about to beckon Lao Chai Tou to dinner, Lao Chai Tou suddenly walked in from the balcony in a hurry and said to my father, "Turn off the lights at home, I'll go out." ”

When he said this, Lao Chai Tou had already turned off the light in the living room.

My mom hurried to the kitchen to turn off the lights, and my dad and I ran out to the balcony to see where the old firewood was going.

As expected, after Lao Chai Tou left our house, he went directly to Mrs. Li's house. Lao Chai Tou didn't plan to enter from the main entrance, he looked left and right, and after making sure that no one saw him at the mouth of the alley, he jumped hard, stepped on the wall twice, and crossed the wall like a gust of wind, and turned into the courtyard of Mrs. Li's house.

When he climbed over the wall, Lao Chai didn't even use his hands. provoked my dad to be amazed on the side: "Lao Chai Tou still has this skill!" ”

But after Lao Chai Tou entered the yard, there was no other sound in the yard, and then my mother also came to the balcony, and our family of three leaned against the window and waited anxiously, waiting for Lao Chai Tou to come out of Mrs. Li's house.
