In fact, my family is a foreign household, originally lived in Huaqiao Commune, 20 miles away from here, my father was in Xinghua Village when he was a teenager to help the big landlord Zeng Xianbei guard the village, because my father and grandparents died early, Huaqiao side except for two married aunts, no relatives. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoDuring the land reform, my father stayed in Xinghua Village and settled down in Xinghua Village, and married my mother in 59.

Maybe only two of us in the team are surnamed Meng, and the two relatives are the same on weekdays. Later, my father recruited workers to go to the coal mines, and he was helped by his family. Meng Qingnan loves me, protects me, treats me best, and in my heart he is like my father (grandfather).

I panicked and didn't bother to go home, panting and running to Meng's butcher's house.

The low adobe brick house was very dim, the house was filled with the smell of traditional Chinese medicine, and there was no one else in the house, only Nan Xiaoyu, who was bent down, added charcoal to the brazier next to the bed, and the burning charcoal fire made the cold room have a trace of warmth. Lying on the old-fashioned bed, Daddy Nan's face was so thin that people could hardly recognize it, and his usually majestic eyes were sunken deeply, white and black, but his eyes were big and scattered.

I shouted: "Nan Daddy ......." tears came out as soon as my nose was sore, and Nan Xiaoyu also shed tears, and called Nan Daddy softly:

"Qingnan, Xianghong has come to see you, what a sensible man, it's not in vain that you usually love him."

The name Xianghong is rarely called except in school, and Nan Xiaoyu treats me as an adult. Daddy Nan's face turned to the side, and his godless eyes looked at me, and gradually became brighter, and he gasped and said to me:

"Haba, your father Nan is not dead yet, what is the mouse urine?"

After a pause, he said:

"I heard that you are getting sick at your grandmother's place these days, how is it, are you getting better?"

I nodded and said it was done.

Nan's father was about to say something, but he opened his mouth but coughed and wheeze, Nan Xiaoyu rubbed and patted, and it took a while to calm down.

It was already mid-afternoon, the sky was lower, and the north wind was blowing. The house was a little gloomy, Nan Xiaoyu lit the kerosene lamp at the bedside, the orange light and shadow soaked the room, it was almost time for the team to go to the casual work, everyone relied on work to eat, Nan's father did not let his children stay by the bedside, he scolded him to go to work. Nan Xiaoyu said:

"Xianghong Yanzi, you just accompany your father Nan, I'll cook, your uncle and they are about to come back from work, otherwise go into the house and eat."

I hesitated, then nodded. Nan Xiaoyu tucked the quilt on the bed, went out of the back room to the stove house, and could vaguely hear the sound of scooping water and moving the pot.

At this time, Daddy Nan's eyes were fixed on me, and I leaned over to the head of the bed and asked:

"Daddy Nan, where do you hurt?"

Daddy Nan said, "It doesn't hurt, you help me, I'll sit up." Ahem, red lady, I'm glad you're back today, otherwise you won't be able to come back in two days...... Cough...... Cough...... While I can speak now, I have something to tell you."

I didn't ask him what was wrong, but helped him sit up slowly, put a pillow on him and let him lean against the head of the bed, and pulled the quilt on him, and Daddy Nan said:

"Monkey, our grandfather and grandson fell in love, but unfortunately my father is going to die, and I can't see you grow up and start a family......."

My nose was sore, and tears flowed out: "Daddy Nan, you won't die, you will be well after taking injections and medicine." Doesn't the doctor come every day?"

Daddy Nan said, "Haba boy, where can a barefoot doctor see my illness?" Alas...... I'll tell you, everyone will die, sooner or later, just die, there's nothing to be afraid of. Don't cry, our grandfather and grandson are destined, and I have something to give you. “

"What's that? Leave it to me? "I'm confused.

Daddy Nan smiled kindly, and took out a jade pendant wearing a red silk rope and a booklet wrapped in oiled paper from under the pillow in the bed, handed it to me and said:

"This is what my master left me back then, I will pass it on to you now, there are some magic pills in the book, there are bone water, hemostatic charms and some herbal medicines, all of which are methods for saving first aid and accumulating virtue and doing good, I have tried them, and they are very effective. There are still some things that the master didn't explain back then, they weren't clear, and I couldn't understand them, alas, I originally wanted to pass them on to your uncle, but they said that they were feudal superstitions and deceived people, and they refused to learn them, and I passed them on to you now. I was going to teach you when you're older, but I'm ...... now. Alas, that's it, it's up to you to see your own fate and creation in the future......"

What the? Pass me a spell? Is there a spell like Master Yang's? My little head is dizzy.

Nan's father is also a skilled person in the village, in addition to killing pigs and cooking, it is said that he also knows some techniques, but he rarely shows up, and he can't be compared with Yang Shigong, who is professional. It's a pity that Master Yang died, and the ability of that body was lost. However, it is said that he can't learn that ability, and if he learns, he won't be able to give birth to a son like him, and he will die.

"What I'm going to pass on to you is in this book, and there are some other things that I can't teach for a while, so forget it, you are destined to have a relationship with these things, and your future creation will be great...... You remember, start practicing one by one according to the book, practice 7749 days, once in the morning after getting up and once before going to bed at night, don't make a sound, think about my appearance, think about my thoughts, just scratch your fingers, avoid outsiders, be sincere and have no distracting thoughts, after 49 days, it has been counted as a small success, and then you must practice in the morning and evening on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, without interruption, and remember that in the future, you must complete the drawing of talismans and chanting mantras at the same time when you cast them......

After saying these many words, Daddy Nan seemed to be working harder than carrying a two-hundred-pound burden, sweat flowed down his gray face, and he gasped and closed his eyes.

Since being operated by Master Yang, I have become much bolder, but at this moment I am still afraid, for fear that he will die, I turned my head to look at the door, hoping that Nan Xiaoyu would come in

。 Nan Xiaoyu didn't come in, the light of the oil lamp reflected my thin figure on the earthen wall by the door, swaying, a gray-black cat came in from the door, swished to the windowsill next to the bed, arched back and tail, in the eyes glowing with yellow light, there was only one line left, first look at me, and then stare at Nan Daddy, "meow" scream.

We felt numb all over our bodies, our scalps exploded, and we turned around and wanted to run to the door.

At this moment, Daddy Nan spoke: "Don't be afraid of monkeys. It's okay. ”

I turned around, and Daddy Nan looked at me and said, "You get this dead wild cat out." This beast hates it very much, since the hour is not yet yet, the urging to die?? Scare my grandson and see if I don't skin you?"

At this moment, there was a fierce glint in his eyes, and he stared at the cat deadly. I saw a stick in the corner of the door, and I was about to get it, and before I started, the cat screamed again, and swooped out of the broken brown window paper.

Daddy Nan must have seen my frightened expression, and he relaxed for a moment, and his eyes looked at me softly, as usual. My heart warmed, and I didn't feel scared anymore.

Daddy Nan then said to me:

"You remember to keep this jade pendant and notebook well. I still have something important to entrust to you, you listen to me. Daddy, I have been a butcher since I was sixteen years old, and for more than 40 years, countless animals have died in my hands. Although I killed all the animals, it was still a heavy killing, especially this time, carelessly, I didn't expect Yang Shangbin's yang omen to fall on me...... alas, ......? Don't say it, this is a catastrophe, and it's my fate, this time I carelessly walked away...... I know that this beast has a deep grudge, and I want to pester me to prevent me from going to the underworld...... It's very painful to drag on like this. You Nan Xiaoyu cubs can't stand it, and this family can't stand it. After thinking about it, I could only make a break early...... I'll settle accounts with them when we get there. ”

Daddy Nan gasped and seemed to be in tears. I didn't understand it, I just knew that he was very sad.

I grabbed his skinny hand stretched out outside the quilt, crying and trying to say something to comfort him, just saying that you don't die, I won't let you die...... He raised his hand and wiped the tears from my cheeks, touched the top of my head as before, and said kindly:

"You're ten years old, aren't you?"

I nodded, and he added, "You're too young to tell you this, and I don't want you to do anything, but they can't help it, they don't believe it, and they won't do it." I just gave you these things, and you are also my apprentice, so you are the only one to do this. Don't worry, after this incident, I will be completely liberated, and my illness will naturally be cured, don't you want my illness to be cured?"

I muttered to myself that Daddy Nan had something for me to do. But when I heard him say that he could cure the sick and be good for him, of course my heart was glad to be happy. Just listen to him go on to say:

"My illness will get worse in the next few days, and I'm afraid I won't even be able to speak at that time. Remember, when you leave, take the pig-killing knife in the basket as well......"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the window at the end of the bed, and I saw the familiar little bamboo basket hanging on the iron hook on the wall, and I knew that there was a pig-killing knife with a sharp and fast pattern carved on the wooden handle, and he usually refused to let our little butts touch it.

"That knife was also passed down to me by my master, and it is an old object for many years. Now it's for you too. This knife can ward off evil spirits and suppress monsters, you take it home and find a place to hide it, usually don't take it out to play, in case you hurt yourself or others, you know? ”

I nodded in agreement, and Daddy Nan continued: "My master has been dead for decades, but I have a senior brother who is ten years older than me, and his ability is very great, I saw him once ten years ago, and he should still be alive now, he lives in Leigong Mountain, and his name is Huang Zhixiang." When you grow up in a few years, you can go to him and bring this jade pendant and the pig-killing knife. And if he's still alive? When you see these two things, you will know that you are my protégé. Tell him about your relationship with me, and to tell him the truth, he might teach you something else ......,"

"In addition, tomorrow night or the night after, you remember, as long as I can't move or speak after vomiting blood, you will take a washbasin from home, fill it with a bowl of water, take the pig-killing knife, go to the sunning flat at the head of the village, put the basin on the ground, stab it on the ground with the tip of the knife, and then pick it up and stab it in the direction of my house. Remember, just stab once, then put the knife in a wooden basin, and in a few minutes you will be taken home and sleeping, and nothing will be done. Do you remember that this matter is related to whether my illness can be completely cured? ”

Listening to him say so many things upside down, I don't quite understand whether it is useful to do such an inexplicable thing. But I didn't want Daddy Nan to be disappointed, so I nodded at him and said:

"I remember it, but I ...... I'm afraid, I'm afraid of the dark, I don't dare to go out alone at night......"

Daddy Nan said, "Haba, didn't I just tell you? My pig-killing knife can ward off evil spirits and suppress monsters, as long as you take it with you, you are not afraid to go all over the world, and all kinds of demons and monsters have to avoid you. ”

I hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed to do so.
