Chapter 294: I Am Human
Not long after my grandmother prepared the objects for the ceremony, my father and Wang Sihe came back from Li Zhenghua's house. Grandma couldn't help but say something, and locked them in the hut where the hay used to be kept, which had no windows, and when the door was closed, it was pitch black. Wang Sihe didn't say anything, my dad was a little unhappy, my dad was against my grandmother from being a child to manage the ghosts and gods, in my dad's words, everyone's sins and karma are suffered, those who haunt ghosts and come to the house to make trouble, are all their own sins, and those who owe others should be repaid, why do we have to meddle in our affairs.
Of course, grandma disagrees with my dad's statement, saying that my dad, you are all bastards, you only care about yourself and ignore others, if you don't do this business and accumulate a lot of yin virtue, you will die several times.
My dad was persuaded by my grandmother, Wang Sihe, my mother, and several people, so he barely stayed in the small dark room.
Why do you want to put my dad and Wang Sihe in a small black room, grandma said so, grandma said, at night to use my dad and Wang Sihe's body to invite God, those two gods belong to the gods of the night, can't see the light, my dad and they can't give light at this time, otherwise God won't be on their bodies, and when it's dark, it'll be fine.
After putting Wang Sihe and my father in a small black house, my grandmother asked me to go to Wang Sihe's house to talk. I told my aunt that Uncle Sihe was going to help our family a little in the evening, and he might not come back a little later, and he shouldn't make dinner. The aunt didn't say anything when she heard it, she might have guessed that helping at night must be a matter of this aspect, and the aunt must know that our two families are world friends, from my great-grandfather and Boss Wang, all the way to me and Qiangshun, our family is five generations, their family is seven generations, hundreds of years of friendship, just like a family, my aunt is not willing to help in her heart, and she can't say anything.
After I came back from Qiangshun's house, my grandmother arranged for my mother to go out again and asked her to go to the district to buy some fruits, cooked meat, and so on. My mom didn't know how to ride a bicycle at that time, and there was a big two-eight at home, which was still assembled by my dad who bought parts by himself, and the triangular beam and rear seat frame of the body were welded by himself with steel pipes, which was a unique bicycle in the world, and it was particularly weighty, and I couldn't help it up at my age after it overturned.
Because I don't know how to ride a bicycle, my mother walks back and forth from us to the district for nearly 20 miles.
After sending my mother away, my grandmother put on the oil pot and fried some banana leaves, sugar cakes, vermicelli and so on, and put them for use, with a variety of styles and very rich.
When it was just dark, my mother came back with a basket, which was full of a few large oranges and a few red apples, a roast chicken that had been fat and tender, a piece of beef, two glass jars of canned fish, and so on, plus more than a dozen kinds of gluttonous food fried by my grandmother, which was better than what we ate for the New Year.
This can make my brother happy, but my grandmother didn't ask him to eat a bite, saying that it was for the gods to eat, and the gods could only eat after they finished eating, and the attitude was resolute, even the trick of biting his fingers and pretending to be pitiful didn't work.
At night, my grandmother didn't ask the house to turn on the lights, it was so dark.
After it was completely dark, my grandmother released my dad and the two of them, and the whole family had a miserable dinner in the courtyard in the snow.
After eating, my grandmother told my mother to lead my brother to the east room to avoid it, not to peek into the courtyard, not to make a sound, and not to come out of the house. Later, I instructed my father and Wang Sihe to move the square table in the hall to the distance, and put incense burners, white wax, paper money, and more than a dozen offerings. After that, he handed me a wad of yellow paper and told me to press two more at the door, and then go east along the road in front of our house, pressing one on each side of the road every ten steps, until I reached the intersection, and then pressed two more at the intersection. The east side of our house is Wang Sihe's house, Wang Sihe's house is wrong and the door is a double happiness house, Wang Sihe's house is a big pit to the east, perennial water, and the big pit is a north-south dirt road to the east, I pressed the yellow paper to the T-shaped intersection and went back.
Grandma said that the yellow paper is used to guide the gods, but in my opinion at the time, this is very similar to the kind of auspicious paper that we pressed when we married our daughter-in-law here, which is used to ward off evil spirits, but the daughter-in-law pressed that kind of pink paper.
When I got home with the yellow paper pressed, my grandmother had already prepared all the items for the cooking, and the square table was even more full, and the most tempting thing was the food, which made me drool when I smelled it.
At this time, the house was still dark, and grandma and they were all standing in the yard at this time, and no one spoke. As soon as I walked into the courtyard, my grandmother waved at me, as if they were waiting for me to come back.
I walked to my grandmother, who asked for the remaining yellow paper from my hand and said to me, "Huang He, you can't stay at home because your yang energy is too heavy, otherwise God won't be able to invite you."
After I finished speaking, my grandmother gave me two paths to choose from: first, let my father put me into the dry well at the door with a rope, then cover the mouth of the well with a wooden plank, and then pull me out when the ritual was done. Second, I will wait at the east end of the village now, and I can't stand on the road and wait, not on the side of the road, but at least twenty steps away from the road, that is to say, I will have to wait in the field or in the wheat field by the roadside, and I will never enter the village, I must not speak, and I must not cry, and she will naturally come to me after she has finished the rituals.
As soon as I heard it, why did I still say this, grandma, this is not unloading the mill and killing the donkey, I just finished working for her, and she will drive me away. The yang energy on my body is heavy, how heavy is it, is it that even black and white are not common, I am like a mouse seeing a cat
I don't think I'm very talented and powerful, I feel very wronged and wronged, my mother and my brother can hide in the house and be warm, but I have to brave the wind and snow to hide in the wilderness, avoid Erlidi, this is too unfair to me.
I didn't want to choose either of the two paths given by my grandmother, I wanted to find my mother and hide in the house with my brother. However, my grandmother finally coaxed and scared me, and asked my dad to take out the rope, I looked at it, don't complain about being fair or unfair, hurry up and choose the second way, otherwise, it is really possible to fulfill the phrase "throw it in the well".
When I was about to go out, my grandmother kept telling me that I couldn't stand on the road, not enter the village, not make a sound, and not cry
alas
Brave the wind and snow, holding my stomach full of grievances, I slowly came to the east of the village. At this time, around nine o'clock in the evening, there was no one in the village or outside the village, and there was no one during the day, let alone at night. God, it's still snowing at this time, because it's dark, and you can't see how big the snowflakes are, but when you look up and fall, your face and neck are all cold.
According to the meaning, after leaving the village, I walked out of the east for a distance, came to a T-junction, behind me, is our village, turn right, walk not far, is a bridge through the railway embankment, turn left, the road on both sides of the road is wheat fields, to the end and then turn right, is the road leading to the 107 national highway.
In front of me, that is, the T-junction is due east, next to the roadside, is a temple, called the "Nanding Patriarch" temple, is Taoist, Taoism should not be called a temple, called Taoism, but there is no Taoist priest in it, our village people call it "temple". About the temple in our village, there is also an allusion to the origin, related to the name of our village in the past, before our family moved, our village was called "Qinglong Town" for a period of time, because there is a green dragon under our village, this will be talked about when there is a chance later.
I stood at the T-junction and looked left and right, where to hide or hide behind the temple, behind the temple is our team's wheat field, there are a few wheat straw stacks, drilling wheat straw stacks and blocking the wind and snow. Having made up my mind, I walked around the temple and into the threshing field, where I found a straw stack and dug a hole, and sat down in it.
The snow was still falling, and the time passed little by little. I don't know how long I waited, I actually fell asleep in a daze, and I didn't feel like I slept for a while, because it was so cold, I woke up from the cold, and when I opened my eyes, my whole body was like I didn't have any clothes, and it was almost cold, especially my feet. Imagine, from the afternoon to now, has been running in the snow, the cotton shoes on the feet have long been soaked, in the past I wore my mother made the kind of mille-feuille black cloth cotton shoes, this kind of shoes are very warm, breathability is good, but it is not waterproof, wet can also absorb water into the shoes, has been running no feeling, when you stop, the taste is not comfortable, just like wearing a pair of water shoes.
I got up from the straw stack, and I wanted to run a few laps around the wheat field to warm up, but when I thought about it, I didn't know how long I had been asleep, whether my grandmother was at home at this time, or if they had already gone to the national highway bridge, and whether they would leave me here
I didn't care about my grandmother's explanation, I was not allowed to go on the road, and I ran towards the T-junction, and as soon as I ran onto the T-junction, I suddenly heard a scream under my feet, which sounded like a woman's voice.
"Oops"
I was startled immediately, looked down and saw that there was nothing, and before I could be stunned, the woman's voice came again, "Where did the monster run out, scared people to death, I knew that there was such a scary guy outside the village, and people wouldn't come." ”
The voice fell, and another woman's voice came, "Maybe it's from this temple on the side of the road, forget it, don't be like him, Bai Xian Gu put down a reward offering today and invites all the immortals, if it's too late, there will be no share of our sisters." ”
The voices of the two women passed past me as they spoke, but I saw nothing, not a single figure in front of or behind me. Fortunately, I'm a descendant of this area, and I'm a little immune to this unbelievable phenomenon, so if I change to someone else, I have to be stupid on the spot.
In the past, my grandmother also told me a lot about this, and at this time, I bumped into the passing fairy, as long as I don't provoke them, there is no harm, and sometimes I can hear their conversation under some kind of coincidence.
As the two voices spoke, they seemed to be running towards the village, and the speed was quite fast, definitely much faster than my father's running in the afternoon, and finally I heard the voice from a distance and said, "It's really unlucky, sister, we won't take this road when we go home." ”
Another voice said, "Okay, well, listen to my sister."
The voice gradually faded away, but I stood there and stared at it for a long time, and finally came back to my senses and thought, Bai Xiangu put down the reward and invited all the immortals, Bai Xiangu is not my grandmother, if they say so, grandma should still be at home now.
As soon as I turned around, I didn't care about what my grandmother had told me before, I found a stone on the side of the road, pulled the snow off it, sat on it, and waited.
After waiting for about half an hour, my butt was as cold as the stone under my buttocks, cold and numb, and I was almost unconscious, so I quickly stood up and paced back and forth on the road.
At this time, three figures came out of the village, two tall and one short, the short one in the middle, the tall one on the left and one on the right, walking side by side on the road, looking like my grandmother and my father.
When the three figures walked in a little more, I concentrated my eyes and took a closer look, it was indeed my grandmother, my grandmother was in the center, my father was on the left hand side of my grandmother, Wang Sihe was on the right hand side, a stone in my heart finally fell to the ground, and I ran towards them quickly.
Before I could get to them, my grandmother seemed to recognize me, and shouted at me, "Didn't I tell you to get out of the way, why are you on the road?" ”
I replied as I ran, "I'm afraid you'll leave me alone." Saying that, I ran to my grandmother and the three of them, and to my surprise, my father and Wang Sihe actually took two steps back at the same time, and grandma hurriedly turned around and said to them: "The two immortals are not strange, this is my own grandson, the future heir of our family." ”
As soon as my grandmother's voice fell, my dad actually said in a sharp voice: "Oh, Bai Xiangu, this monster turned out to be your grandson."
