There is such a Taoist priest, his life is legendary, but also tortuous, more helpless, he has saved many people's lives, including mine, including my aunt's; I inquired about the life of this Taoist priest from many people in my hometown.

Tells the story of the life of the last Taoist priest: Cha (zha) Wenbin, a person led by a small story

Cha is a rare surname, and the hundred family surnames are recorded like this: Cha (one of the Z surnames, ranked 397th in the "Hundred Family Names". One is from the Jiang family, a descendant of Emperor Yan. The son of Qi Qinggong of the Spring and Autumn Period was sealed in the "hawthorn", and the descendants took the feudal yi as the surname and became the "hawthorn surname", and later removed the "wood" word next to the side and became the "cha surname".

Chapter I

There is a village called Hong Village in the mountainous area of western Zhejiang, there is a family surnamed Xu in the village, the man in charge is a carpenter, do a good carpentry job, known as Xu Luban, the ancestors often do a living is to make coffins for other people's families, to his generation, naturally inherited the family business, although there is a good craft, but because of the dead man's business, there are few ordinary women can look up to him, after several twists and turns, the matchmaker finally married a daughter-in-law in the neighboring village, there was one thing that was underdeveloped in that era, that is, contraception, three girls and two boys were born in ten yearsAs soon as the family had a large population, the expenses were large, and as soon as the husband and wife discussed, they sent their daughter-in-law to have their ligations done.

Who is Xu Luban? It's my grandfather

After another ten years, I didn't expect my grandmother to be pregnant again, and my grandfather didn't know whether to be happy or worried. The belly is getting bigger day by day, the pregnancy in October, the melon is ripe and the ground is ripe, my grandfather didn't expect that he was 40 years old, and he even had a daughter, he named the youngest daughter "Xiu", that is, my aunt, that year was 1977.

On the day of the full moon of the woman, a banquet was held, and the neighbors in the village also came to congratulate, just in a festive situation, the Xu family passed by in front of a Taoist priest wearing a tattered Taoist robe and carrying a gossip cloth bag. The person who had good deeds shouted to stop the Taoist priest, and came up with the idea that the master of the family had just won a thousand gold, so let the Taoist priest calculate it and look at the fate. The Taoist priest was also refreshed, came over and glanced at the baby in swaddling clothes, immediately pinched his fingers, but he was shocked, and called the male master Xu Luban into the inner room, and whispered: "Master, you are happy with your daughter, it was originally a gratifying and congratulatory thing, but there is a sentence in the small road, I don't know if I should talk about it today." ”

Although my grandfather was a carpenter, he was also very reasonable, and said with a smile: "You Taoist priest, if you have something to say, whether it is good or not, when the banquet is held in a while, I will invite you to have a glass of wine!" ”

The Taoist priest glanced at Xu Luban and said, "Although your little daughter is beautiful, I'm afraid it won't be easy to support in the future." ”

When my grandfather heard this, he was anxious, he had just given a daughter, and you, a Taoist priest who came from nowhere, were here to be foolish, and when he said such unfortunate words, he went up and pushed him: "You Taoist priest is too ignorant of lifting, how can you talk nonsense like this?" ”

This Taoist priest was originally dressed in tatters, but when Xu Luban pushed him like this, he actually tore his clothes, and a copper lump fell out of his bad and rolled to the ground.

The shouting inside startled the grandmother who was entertaining guests in the room, came to see, a ragged Taoist priest was entangled with his own man, went up to separate the two, and listened to my mother say that he was really a character, first scolded Xu Luban for his rudeness without asking the reason, and apologized to the Taoist priest, took out a needle and thread to sew his old clothes, and said that he must leave someone for a meal, the Taoist priest couldn't shirk it, so he entered the table with everyone, a few glasses of wine, his face was red, and he began to blow that he was the head of Maoshan and had a good Taoism. I didn't want to, but it caused the guests to laugh......

I don't know if the Taoist priest drank too much or what, during the banquet, everyone asked about the baby's fate again, and he actually said again: "This little girl doll is a short-lived child, it is not easy to feed, I am afraid that there will be difficulties in the future." "When everyone heard this, how could you, a Taoist priest, have no good intentions, and dare to speak wildly, especially my grandfather, who had just suppressed the fire, rubbed it and jumped up again, ran into the house and took out an axe to cut it down, but fortunately was stopped by everyone and scolded at that opening

Grandma listened to it really this time, and she couldn't help but hold back her face, and shouted to the Taoist priest: "Where did you come from, I was kind enough to entertain you, but you cursed my daughter like this!" Get out of here! ”

I didn't want the Taoist priest to be insulted like this, but I wasn't annoyed, I touched my chest, looked at the sky again, glanced at everyone and said: "Don't be angry, the master is also telling the truth, you are a female doll, I am afraid that you will not live to be nine years old, if you are in trouble then, you can come to Wulipu in Anxian County to find me." After speaking, he made a gesture to the crowd and turned his head to walk...... Only a group of people looked at each other and hummed angrily with their grandfather, although everyone advised them not to take it seriously, but it left a shadow in the heart of the grandmother, who was a little superstitious

In the blink of an eye, it has been nine years, and my aunt is not only healthy and smart, but also very beautiful, especially a pair of big watery eyes, which is very pleasing to adults, and slowly the people of my grandmother's family have gradually forgotten what the Taoist priest said nine years ago.

There are many places in rural areas where the dead need to do a big funeral, that is, the so-called happy funeral, the whole village has to go over to help the funeral, everyone has to drink a lot of wine, eat meat is not lively, but there must be a dish that every family has, that is, a white tofu, so the white happy event is also called eating tofu rice.

In the summer of 1986, that is, the day I was born, an old man died in Hong Village, and in that era of relative material scarcity, there was a white happy event, which meant that I could fight the tooth sacrifice, and my grandfather and grandmother took my aunt to eat tofu rice.

During the banquet, the aunt also ate a lot of oil and water, after the banquet, a family of three took advantage of the stars in the sky to rush home, the family is about two miles away from my grandmother's house, on the way to pass, there is a reservoir, it is about 300 meters long, that reservoir and then I often sneak away to swim when I was a child, every time I was caught by my grandmother and beaten up, not to say the reason......

There was no one living on that stretch of road. In these two miles, it takes only about 10 minutes to walk, and this road is usually a lot of walking. That night, the moon and stars were very bright, and the path that illuminated was so white that there was no need for a flashlight to illuminate it.

In the countryside in summer, there is one thing that always attracts children, that is, fireflies, the aunt is chasing the fireflies in front, laughing while chasing, the insects fly forward in a flash, and the children run behind; The grandfather and grandmother in the back were also not far away, looking at the child with a smile

My grandfather smoked a dry cigarette and said to my grandmother: "Who said that my daughter is not easy to raise, this child has been born since he was born, and he has never had a minor illness, I think that Taoist priest is a charlatan!" ”

Grandma told my aunt to run slower, and after a while, she arrived home.

My aunt originally slept with my grandparents when she was a child, and when she grew up, she was arranged to sleep with her third sister, who had four daughters and two sons, and my aunt and uncle and my mother were already married, leaving the third aunt and aunt and a little uncle still at home.

Before going to bed, the aunt told the third aunt about the good things she ate during today's dinner, which made the third aunt so envious, since the arrival of this sister, the grandfather's house is a little good, and they are kept for the aunt as much as possible, just take the corn as an example, the aunt will always get the head of the section, and the third aunt will always eat the half of the tail, but the aunt is really annoying, the third aunt washed her feet, and carried her to the bed, accompanied by the third aunt, the aunt fell asleep quickly, It wasn't until the second half of the night that an exclamation broke the Xu family's life that had been peaceful for nine years

Accompanied by the third aunt, the aunt quickly fell asleep, until a scream in the second half of the night broke the Xu family's peaceful life for nine years
