Chapter 282: Passers-by

Now Chen Xianyi and I were excited, knowing that we were really looking for the right person this time. So he hurriedly asked the old man how to get to the Zhang family, but the old man was enthusiastic and told us that the old Zhang family was in a village twenty miles away from this town, and then showed us the way, telling us to follow the road he pointed out all the way to the village where the Zhang family lived.

We nodded our heads in gratitude. Chen Xianyi was very kind-hearted, and asked the old man's house if he wanted to help him carry the firewood back.

The old man shook his head, said no, and pointed to an old road behind him, saying that his home was not far away.

Chen Xianyi saw that the old man was delayed, so he took out a cigarette and handed it over, and lit it for him.

It is said that this old man is indeed sympathetic, he still chops firewood and goes home when he is old, and he is hunched on his back, and his face is tired and sweating after the vicissitudes of life, which makes people feel distressed to watch. I asked him, "Uncle, why are you still chopping firewood when you are so old?" ”

There is a mountain near Baishi Mountain, and this firewood is obviously cut from the mountain, although this mountain is not far away, but for an old man in his sixties, it is not easy.

The old man sighed, and seemed to be very helpless to say: "No way, you have to need firewood for cooking." ”

Chen Xianyi said, don't you have children by your side, and do you still need to run to the mountains all the time?

"Yes!" The old man nodded, and didn't say much, but the expression on his face made us feel that he was very sad, and a pair of cloudy old eyes were actually full of tears.

Seeing this, Chen Xianyi and I glanced at each other, and we both felt that this old man must have some grievances, maybe it was because his children were not filial.

Maybe I saw tears in the old man's eyes, so I looked at him twice, but this look shocked me, and my brows immediately furrowed. After careful inspection, I saw that the old man's Yin Hall faintly appeared with blue spots!

Yintang's blue spots, also known as green heads, are formed by the evil spirit, which is a sign of great evil! Generally, if you are haunted by ghasts, you will have blue spots. I saw the shape of the green class into three sticks of incense in the Yin Hall, which came out from between the eyebrows, it seems that something is in trouble, and it is really a bit troublesome!

Chen Xianyi has not yet discovered this special feature, and is still asking the old man, since you have children, why don't your children go to chop firewood, and your boss has to run to the mountains at his age, how dangerous it is.

The old man sighed again and said, "Alas, what a fate! ”

"Uncle, is it that your children are not filial, or I will help you teach them a lesson, the children act like this, even I, an outsider, can't stand it." Chen Xianyi has the urge to stand up for the old man.

The old man hurriedly stopped and said, "No, no, no, my son is not unfilial, but ...... Alas! ”

Seeing that the old man sighed and couldn't go on when he mentioned his children, Chen Xianyi became even more curious. I wanted to keep asking, but I stopped me, because I seemed to understand something.

I asked directly: "Uncle, if I am not mistaken, there is something wrong with your family, that's why you let this old man go up the mountain to chop wood." ”

The old man and Chen Xianyi were both stunned, Chen Xianyi was surprised that I suddenly said such a strange sentence, and the old man's surprise seemed to me, most likely because I must have said it right.

Sure enough, as if he had seen something superior, the old man first looked me up and down, and then nodded violently and said, "Yes, little brother, how do you see it?" ”

At this time, Chen Xianyi also looked at me curiously, as if he also had the same doubts as an old man. I pointed to the old man's forehead and said to Chen Xianyi, "Didn't you notice that the old man's seal hall has blue spots?" ”

Chen Xianyi was taken aback, because he knew what blue spots meant, so he turned his head to look at the old man immediately, and when he saw that there were indeed blue spots, he couldn't help but be stunned, and he understood it.

Then again, we originally came to inquire about the Zhang family, who would pay attention to other people's Yintang if they have nothing to do, so it is normal that Chen Xianyi did not find out. Of course, I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing if I asked for a way, this may be the fate of my disaster star, wherever I go, there will be disaster.

At this time, the old man was confused by us, and anxiously asked me how I could see that something was wrong with his family, and what was the blue spot?

I said, "Don't hide it from the old man, the two of us are also Mr. Yin and Yang." Looking at your face just now, I found that your Yin Tang was carrying a calamity, so I said this. If you say something wrong, don't blame it. ”

The old man was very surprised, and looked at us again, probably thinking that the two of us were young but Mr. Yin and Yang, so it was a little unexpected. However, this surprised expression was a blink of an eye, and soon turned into panic and worry, and he nodded hurriedly and said, "It turned out to be two gentlemen, and the old man's eyes were cloudy." Don't hide it, sir, something really happened to my family, alas, it's really hard! ”

After saying this, the old man seemed to think of something sad, and his cloudy old eyes finally couldn't stop the tears from falling, flowing on the face that had gone through vicissitudes. There are tear stains on the dark and wrinkled face, which is really sad to look at, at least Chen Xianyi and I are soft-hearted.

Chen Xianyi hurriedly comforted him, telling him not to be sad, what happened at home and slowly said, as long as we can help, we will try our best to help.

When he heard that we were willing to help, the old man was very grateful. He wiped away a handful of tears and told us about their family.

It turns out that this is the case, this old man's name is Li Xianguo, he is sixty years old this year, and his family used to be okay. When he was young, he was the captain of the village brigade, and later after the reform and opening up, the brigade was changed to a village, and he served as the village chief for more than ten years.

It stands to reason that this Li Xianguo should be a bit of a famous person in the local area, a little ability, and can be the local village head.

It turned out that this was indeed the case, and until he was forty years old, he was a local talent. There are three sons, the eldest is now forty years old, and the younger is now thirty years old.

It is said that he raised three sons, and as long as these sons are a little filial, he Li Xianguo will not be pitiful when he is old. However, what he didn't expect was that when he was in his fifties, that is, about ten years ago, something happened to their Li family, first the eldest son suddenly fell ill and died with a whimper. The eldest son died, and the daughter-in-law remarried the following year and left their Li family, leaving behind a six-year-old grandson.

Two years later, when his second son was about to start a family, he had an accident, and the shuttle bus into the city fell off a cliff, and his second son sat in the shuttle, but he could not save his life.

For this reason, Li Xianguo's wife lost two sons in a row, and the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, how could she not be sad, but because of excessive sadness, she died of illness at the end of that year.

Speaking of this, the old man couldn't hold back his tears anymore, and cried with a whin, a sixty-year-old man crying like this, how pitiful and pitiful it is, if it weren't for something too painful and sad, he would never cry in front of outsiders like this. I'm a man, so I know that.

However, Chen Xianyi and I didn't speak, we wanted to comfort him, but we didn't know what to say to comfort him, so we just waited, waiting for him to calm down. Because we know that he must not have finished speaking, because he also has a young son, and since he needs to go out and chop wood by himself, it is obvious that his younger son has probably had an accident as well.

After the old man whined for a while, he finally slowly stabilized his sad mood, lifted his sleeves and wiped a handful of tears, only to see that his hands were very black, rough, and full of calluses, obviously he had done a lot of hard work over the years.

After calming down, the old man really opened his mouth and continued to tell, no wonder he suddenly cried sadly, it turned out that after the death of his second son and his wife, his youngest son had also died less than a year later. That is, three years ago, when I climbed on the roof to add new tiles to my family's house, I accidentally fell directly from the roof, and I died before I was sent to the hospital.

Hearing this, I can imagine how heavy and sad the blow of continuous loss of relatives will be for Li Xianguo, an old man. Because even onlookers like me and Chen Xianyi were very heavy when they heard this kind of thing.

Although the old man didn't cry anymore, his eyes were still full of tears, maybe his tears had already dried up in the past few years, right?

However, for such an old man, he can still live strongly, which is already reverent. If it were someone else, maybe I would have felt that life was boring and would have killed myself.

In the end, the old man seemed to see my thoughts, and he sighed helplessly, and said, "Originally, I didn't think there was any need to live anymore, so I just let them go." Once, I bought a few bottles of pesticides, but in the end I chose to live because ...... Because I have a grandchild to support! ”

Hearing this, Chen Xianyi and I both suddenly realized that we finally understood. Yes, his eldest son had already become a family before he died, and he had a six-year-old child, that is to say, if it weren't for Li Xianguo having such a grandson and counting on his old family to support him, he would have really committed suicide early in the morning.

Hearing this, I couldn't hold back anymore and hurriedly asked, "Then how is your grandson now?" ”
