Chapter 5 Solid Tombs

Young people in adversity either love to dream of making a fortune in the day, or they work hard in a down-to-earth manner. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

I also love to dream of making a fortune in the daytime, but in order to fill my stomach, I also have to work hard in a down-to-earth manner, so I don't want to be delusional about Senior Sister Huang Fei anymore, so I politely declined her invitation.

A month later, I got my first salary, and although it was only 1,700 yuan, I could buy more reference books and didn't have to ask my parents for money.

My sister called again and insisted on inviting me to dinner together, and said that she and I would ask me to pay and go to the old city noodle restaurant.

I was a little moved, and my sister added: "Lao Ma has been discharged from the hospital, but he can only use a wheelchair for the rest of his life." ”

actually let Xiao Tang guess correctly!

I still refused my sister's invitation, because the weather was getting colder and I needed to buy myself winter clothes.

I called again from home and said that my grandmother was dying and asked me to go back.

I happened to have a two-day break, and before I went home, I went to the used book stall to "Taobao", and when the old man saw me, he asked, "How was that book last time?" I didn't lie to you, did I? ”

I swept over his old books with wide eyes and replied: "The content in the book is very good, but unfortunately it is not practical, I can't find the physical objects of these medicinal materials, even if I find them, I don't dare to use them, who knows if there will be side effects?" ”

The old man was a little unhappy when he heard this, and quibbled: "That's because you stay in the hospital, and if you leave the hospital and stay away from the crowd, you will be able to use it." ”

I found a hand-painted version of "Acupuncture and Moxibustion First Aid" at his bookshelf, which recorded all the meridians and acupoints of the human body, as well as their respective functions, which was very practical, and I bought it for 10 yuan when I asked the price.

My grandmother has returned to my uncle's house to live, and I went to my uncle's house in Huimeng Town, Beibi District, and found the broken knife that my grandfather left me.

When my uncle saw me coming, he shouted, "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, just when you are here, we will go to fix the grave for your grandfather's new grave today, and move the grave tomorrow." ”

When I heard this, I secretly complained that my uncle meant to strengthen the newly excavated graves.

My grandfather's new grave was chosen on the slope of the hill southeast of the Biling Mountains, near the persimmon tree ditch, and my uncle took me and a few helpers from the same village to pull us there in a motorized tricycle.

There was a young man a few years older than me, who was tall and dark-skinned, but with a pair of big eyes, and his uncle introduced: "He is Zhenmin, and you two herded cattle together when you were children." ”

I immediately remembered that Brother Zhenmin was six years older than me, and his father died in an accident while building a new house for my uncle.

Brother Zhenmin's family did not hate my grandmother's family because of this, which made my grandmother feel even more uneasy, and tried to compensate as much as possible.

"Xiaohua has grown so big, where do you work?" Brother Zhenmin asked.

I hurriedly replied: "Yes, we haven't seen each other for many years, I am now working in a hospital in Luoyang, what are you doing now, Brother Zhenmin?" ”

Zhenmin replied: "I bought a car with four fronts and eight tails and ran a short distance. ”

There was also a young man in his thirties in the same car, but he was white and weak, and we called him the "champion" brother, and he also had a friendship with the cow.

The champion said: "Your grandfather's new tomb is a treasure of feng shui, and I originally planned to build a house there, but your uncle bought it at a great price." ”

Zhenmin retorted to him: "Brother Champion, look at what you said, how can you build your own house on the cemetery, that area government is already preparing to plan it into a high-level cemetery, and only local villagers and those who are willing to pay can be buried there." ”

In the roar and bumps of the tricycle, we rushed to my grandfather's new grave, which is indeed a treasure of feng shui, with the back to the mountain ridge, the loess road up the mountain on the left, the persimmon tree ditch on the right, and a willow stream in the south.

However, I don't know anything about feng shui, I only have enough light and is close to the mountains and rivers, so that at least the tomb will not be washed away by the flood and will not be buried by the silt.

The grave was newly dug up, but there were already several graves nearby, and my uncle took me and began to unload cement and masonry on the ground.

This is all hard work, Brother Zhenmin takes good care of me, and there is an old mason, smoking a cigarette on the side, waiting for us to unload the car and reconcile the mud, then roll up his sleeves and start work with a brick knife.

I have a natural fear of graves, so I refuse to go underground, and Brother Zhenmin doesn't care, and takes the green bricks I handed out below. After this kind of brick is out of the kiln, it is poured with cold water, and it quickly cools, and the color also changes from pink to blue, making it more bulky and strong.

The champion was in charge of the mud, so he and his uncle carried the bucket down to the bottom of the ditch to fetch water.

The old mason chatted while smoking: "We are the first funeral treasure in the world, and I don't know how many dignitaries are buried here!" ”

I was tired enough to choke and didn't talk, but Brother Zhenmin retorted: "This is the world's first funeral treasure, why don't you see the emperor's tomb?" ”

Brother Zhenmin is right, although I don't know much about history, I have never heard my grandmother and uncle mention which emperor is buried in Piling?

The old mason explained unhurriedly: "The emperor is already the Son of Heaven, and he will choose the tomb here?" The feng shui of Piling can change the fate of the descendants of the burial, to be precise, from poor to rich, from cheap to expensive. ”

When I heard this, I was skeptical, and if my uncle became an official or made a fortune in the future, it would mean that the mason was right.

Even if it was an empty tomb, I would feel sorry for it when I looked at it, so I tried not to look at the tomb, but Brother Zhenmin didn't care, and continued to talk and laugh with us in the tomb.

He told me that Brother Champion has loved to play tricks on people since he was a child, and he has grown up to be calculating, but now he is in the dead man's business.

I hurriedly asked, "Dead man's business?" What business? ”

Zhenmin introduced: "Brother Champion opened a longevity material shop next to Anle Crematorium, specializing in funeral supplies, and recently opened a cemetery, and his family was divided into dozens of acres of hillside woodland, all of which have become cemeteries, ready to be sold at a high price." ”

The mason deliberately grinded, and it was not completed until the sun went down, and Brother Zhenmin was in charge of packing up the tools, and he called me casually, and I couldn't help but look into the tomb, which startled me.

A dark shadow stood in the tomb, the uncle started the tricycle, turned on the lights, and Brother Zhenmin walked out of the tomb with a shovel.

I returned to my uncle's house, hurriedly washed my face and hands, and ate together.

My cousin was about to go to feed my grandmother, and I hurriedly said, "Cousin, you can leave it first, and I'll go later." ”

My uncle and aunt had no objection, and after I had eaten hastily, I took my meal and went to my grandmother's room, where the lights were dim and the kettle on the fire was steaming.

When my grandmother saw someone coming in, she opened her eyes.

I hurriedly stepped forward and said loudly that it was me, and my grandmother answered, and her ears were not good, so she drank a few sips of porridge and asked me, "Do you believe in curses?" ”

The word "curse" came out of my grandmother's mouth, and it was a bit of a surprise that my grandmother was an authentic country woman who only knew numbers, not Chinese characters, and couldn't even write names.

I replied: "I don't know, the curse is the same as witchcraft and Gu poison, if it really works, it will have been reported in the news and explained by science a long time ago." ”

"Your grandfather was cursed to death, and Zhenmin's father, both of them have been to the depths of Yehu Gully, where there is an ancient tomb." Grandma spoke slowly, but clearly.

I listened with my ears pricked up, and my grandmother continued: "The two of them didn't go to rob the tomb, but they were still cursed, and Zhenmin's father was branded with a longevity character on the outside of his arm, but he didn't live long. ”
