I was carried home by the man in black, his name is He Shigui, he is a medicine picker from other places, four years ago he settled in the mountains outside the village, knows some medical skills, cured many old problems of the villagers, usually rarely contact with people, but the villagers respect him very much.

When I got home, I realized that two days had passed. I didn't tell my parents what happened at the grave. Instead, he was playing by the river as He Shigui said, and accidentally broke his leg.

A few days later, He Shigui came to my house, and I was lying on the bed, faintly hearing the conversation between him and his parents.

"Uncle, Qingwa's foot injury isn't tight, right?"

"It's okay, the doll has tender muscles and bones, it's good fast, there is no problem with the feet, as long as you recuperate for a while." However, this baby was born with fire, and when he was a child, he committed a fire and injured his liver, and he was afraid that he would not live to be 20 years old. ”

When my dad heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Uncle, you have to think of a way to save my baby. ”

He Shigui pondered for a while and replied: He is estimated to be incurable of this disease.

My mother was obviously frightened, and hurriedly said, "Uncle, please think of a way!"

……..

That afternoon, my dad slaughtered the hens and asked my mom to cook a table of dishes.

After dinner, my mother came to my bed and said to me, "Dongwa, my parents have found you a godfather, and you will live with him in the future." ”

I asked, "Why?" “

"Obedient, your parents are also good for you"

"I'm not going! Don't you want me?

My dad was smoking a hookah, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and the smoke filled the room with the sound of the hookah tumbling.

After a while, he snuffed out the cigarette butt with his black and yellow fingers, as if he had made a lot of determination, and said firmly: "That's it." After saying that, he pulled his younger siblings who were hiding aside and peeking out of the house, leaving my mother crying secretly in front of the bed.

My godfather, He Shigui, eventually carried me to the mountains.

My godfather's house was located in a remote wild bamboo forest in the middle of Wumeng Mountain, it was a simple shed made of wood and bamboo strips, and my godfather built a hut for me next to the shed, and after carrying me to lie on the newly made bed, he went to make some unknown medicine paste and put it on my feet.

During the days when I was recuperating from my foot injury, my godfather didn't know where to find some books and teach me to read, my godfather was thirty-seven or eighteen years old, he was very knowledgeable, and he also told me a lot of historical stories while teaching. I feel that my godfather teaches better than the school teacher, I study hard, and at the same time, I am also curious that there must be many untold stories behind this mysterious man.

I tried to ask about the tomb, but every time I was diverted by my godfather.

By the time my feet are almost healed. One day, my godfather took me to the edge of the bamboo forest, pointed to the flower finches foraging on the tip of the bamboo and said to me, "Qingwa, believe it or not, I can catch it."

I looked at the bamboo, which was arm thick. Looking up at the flower finch above his head, he thought that it was at least seven or eight meters tall. I replied, "I don't believe it." There is some expectation in my heart.

The godfather rolled up his sleeves, picked up a small clod of soil from the ground, took it in his hand, and suddenly flashed in his eyes, and the clod of soil in his hand shot towards the flower sparrow like an arrow, and the whole person also flew on the bamboo, and then climbed under his feet, and then climbed again, and jumped higher and higher with several borrowed strength.

The clod of earth hit the flower finch steadily. The flower finch was stagnant, and when he came back to his senses, he was half a beat slower to spread his wings and run away, but he was firmly caught by the godfather who ran on the bamboo branch. turned around, and the godfather fell to the ground lightly, and the whole set of actions was done in one go. This burly, one-meter-eight man would have such dexterous skills, I looked stupid for a while.

"Do you want to learn", the godfather fiddled with the flower in his hand and asked proudly.

I was a little excited and said, "Yes! ...... Can I do it too? ”

The godfather laughed and said, "If you want to learn kung fu, learn to dig a hole first" After saying that, he took out a peculiarly shaped shovel from behind him.

In this way, I started my digging career under the "flickering" of my godfather, who had a very special method, he asked me to find a small mountain bag, and dig through both sides straight according to the width that can only accommodate me, without deviation. From time to time, I draw a diagram of seven bends and eight turns, let me dig according to the drawings marked by the drawings, and from time to time let me dig from top to bottom. And cause me some trouble from time to time. When I was digging the hole, I deliberately got some rocks to seal the hole, so that I could find a way to get a new exit before the oxygen ran out; Then there were two snakes or other animals in the hole, which made my nerves crack. After a long time, I can face these pediatrics calmly.

Seeing that I was learning quickly, my godfather found some books on Feng Shui and Qimen Bagua to show me, and explained some of the obscure points to me. Although I wondered why I wanted to learn these things, I still obediently memorized everything he taught me.

Of course, in addition to the strict study time, the godfather is usually very good to me. After all, in this mountain, our father and son depend on each other.

Over the years, my body grew stronger. I was able to catch the little flower finch easily, and my godfather taught me to wrestle the dragon in his spare time, but there was one thing, that is, my old problem had not improved, and every week I had to find time to go to the mountain stream for a few hours.

The godfather would go out for a few days from time to time, and when he came back, he would bring a lot of wine and food. He was a great drinker, and I drank a little under his influence, and we would occasionally get drunk in the cabin, and at that time, he talked a lot.

The godfather was really surprised when he met me in the ancient tomb, he didn't expect a child to run into the ancient tomb, but what surprised him even more was that I slept naked in the cold tomb for two days and didn't get sick.

"Dry fire, once in a hundred years, evil can't invade, I didn't expect to be encountered by me." Godfather looked at me obliquely and said with drunken eyes.

I asked tentatively, "Godfather, you lied to my parents that day when you told my parents that I wouldn't live to be 20 years old, right?"

"That's true," said the godfather, "There are six types of fire life, and you are the ultimate of the six fire lives." Numerology dry fire, yin and yang are restrained, 20 or so is the time when the fire is the most vigorous, I am afraid that when the liver fire burns the heart, you will live to the end. ”

When I heard this, I woke up and was a little flustered.

"It's not without remedies"

couldn't bear to see me sad, my godfather drank the white wine in the bowl and comforted: "Yin and yang are mutually restrictive, and they will also be born together." The ancient book says that as long as you find a woman with an extremely yin Kun water life as a companion, and then practice the five elements to change your life, water and fire will be eliminated, and your life will be saved. ”

Then he muttered drunken again: "Kun Shui life, Kun Shui life, it is also difficult to find for a hundred years, besides, how easy is it to find those few things...... " After that, he lay on the table and fell asleep.
