When the villager saw that I asked about Mrs. Li, he couldn't help but immediately nod his head and said, "I naturally know." At the same time, he also looked at me curiously and asked me which village I was from, saying that Mrs. Li had been imprisoned for more than ten years when she was breaking the four olds, and most people of my age didn't know that there was such a person as her, so how could I know that Mrs. Li was such a person.

That's right, when Lady Li was arrested, I was just a child who didn't know anything, and it stands to reason that I really wouldn't know that there was such a person, and his curiosity was not exaggerated.

I smiled and said, "I'm from Chen Village, which is next door to your Li Village, so I heard of Divine Lady Li when I was a child." I heard that Mrs. Li was arrested before, and now she is released, is she still at home? ”

The old man nodded, and then said in surprise: "Young man, why did you suddenly ask her, did you encounter something evil?" If that's the case, then it's hard to do, and now although Lady Li is at home, she no longer shows people! ”

It seems that this old man thought that I was looking for Mrs. Li to solve the disaster, but I suddenly heard that Mrs. Li didn't show people things, I was very curious, so I asked: "Why don't you show people, didn't she often solve disasters for people before, quite a good person?" ”

What I said is not wrong, Mrs. Li is indeed a very good person. can solve disasters and see things, know yin and yang, so I usually look at things for the poor people in the neighborhood to solve disasters, and whoever has any problems, it is right to find him to solve them. And she can also ask questions, such as bringing a message to a deceased relative, or asking her to call her deceased relative, etc., can be done. This was famous in the former Chenjia Town, and even the bearded bandits were a little afraid of her. And she is willing to help others, often free of charge to the poor people in the vicinity.

It's such a goddess, but there is only one problem, that is, stubborn temper, if he can't get used to you as a person, she won't help you if you say flowers, or give gold ingots. And she is also extremely withdrawn, basically not socializing with people. It is said that he is often alone from day to night throughout the day, and he has no children or daughters, and he usually rarely even goes out. Someone saw him once talk to himself, and then everyone knew her ability, and then they knew that she was talking to herself to deal with ghosts, and she knew how to "pass the yin", so she had another nickname, called "Tongyin woman". There is nothing demeaning about this title, but it describes her ability to deal with ghosts and her vast powers.

Although Mrs. Li has a strange temper, her usual helpful personality is there, and everyone in ten miles and eight villages knows it, how can such a good person not help people now?

I looked curiously at the uncle of Li Village in front of me, and the uncle sighed and said: "Everyone doesn't know what's going on, anyway, since she came back from the county seat, she has been staying at home, saying that she is deaf and blind, and she is a very poor person." At first, someone in the village saw her come back, so they went to see her, but they were driven back by Mrs. Li, at first everyone just thought that Mrs. Li didn't want to show him, but then some villagers went to look for her, and they were all kicked out of the door, and they didn't stop scolding, saying that they had no mana, and they couldn't pass the spirit, and told everyone not to look for her in the future. ”

Hearing this, my mouth opened wide in surprise, and my heart said Why has Mrs. Li changed as if she had changed herself? This is not the style of Lady Li before, because she was a warm-hearted person in the past, and it was impossible to see death without help.

But after thinking about it, I seem to have figured it out a little more, to know why she was arrested by the Red Guards and imprisoned for more than ten years for no reason? Isn't it because these locals buckled her a big hat of cow ghosts and snake gods back then? Isn't it that the locals arrested her back then, and she had a small fight for three days and a big fight for five days? In those years, he completely forgot his past kindness, and in an instant, he regarded her as the public enemy of the people, and destroyed her quickly.

You say, is Lady Li still willing to help you now? Thinking of these, it is like remembering what happened to me and my grandfather ten or twenty years ago, when I was tied up by the villagers and escorted to the village hall to criticize the fight, and I remembered the days when everyone was locked in the smelly and wet cowshed.

Thinking back then, if it weren't for my grandfather begging the old branch secretary to save me, maybe I would have the same fate as Mrs. Li, and I would have been criticized and fought as a little god stick back then, and now it's up to me whether I can survive or not. Thinking of this, I am very grateful to my grandfather and the old branch secretary, it was the two of them who saved me.

Of course, putting aside the old hatred of the past, maybe Mrs. Li did not hold a grudge against everyone. But when I think of the previous movement, I broke the superstition, defeated all the ghosts, snakes and gods, and established four new ones. Thousands of Red Guards raised their "iron brooms" to tie her up, locked up and fought, think about it, Mrs. Li, who has just been liberated from this disaster, will she dare to help everyone solve the disaster and see things?

Therefore, thinking of these factors, I think it is normal for Divine Lady Li to stop helping people solve disasters and see things, which shows that her heart is like a mirror.

At this time, the uncle continued: "It's okay if you don't show everyone what is going on to solve the disaster, but everyone sees that she is deaf and blind and pitiful, so the villagers want to send her firewood, rice, oil and salt, but she doesn't appreciate it and throws it all out." Alas, in short, if you want to look for her, forget it, even if you look for her, you will be kicked out. ”

After listening to my uncle's words, I smiled and nodded, indicating that I understood. But I thought in my heart that I must go to Li Village to find Mrs. Li another day, because she was locked up with my grandfather back then, and now only she may know the news of my grandfather. Of course, I'm not worried that she will kick me out, because as long as I tell her that I am Chen Guodong's grandson, I believe she will still sell her grandfather's face. Of course, even if she wants to drive me out, I still have to go to this Li Village.

I was so concerned in my heart, and then I chatted with the villager for a while, just to talk about how my hometown is now, whether the villages are open to roads, whether they still rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and whether the young people have gone out of the city to make money.

The uncle was also very talkative, he told me, what changes will happen in the mountains, not to mention that you have only been out for a few years, even if you come back in a hundred years, it will not be like that.

I think it's right, no matter how the policy changes, it is difficult to change to this poor and remote deep mountain, the people here are destined to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and the people here will not have any extravagant hopes, so they are self-sufficient, relying on a few acres of grain fields to live a small life. Sometimes I think they are very happy, and they don't have to think as much as the people in the city, and they are easy to be content if they don't have a big heart, and those who are content can be happy for a long time, isn't that true?

However, he also told me that the young people in the village have indeed gone out to the city to look for trouble, and only some old people and children are left in the mountains. However, these young people can't bring back a few dollars when they go out every year, so they all make up a smooth talk, saying "part-time work, the more you work, the more empty it becomes", showing the endless suffering and helplessness of these migrant workers.

Chatting and chatting, the car arrived at Chenjia Town, Chenjia Town has not changed much, the streets are still the same streets, not big or small, but there are a few less adobe houses, more brick houses than when they left, it seems that after the reform and opening up, there are still people who get rich first.

When I got out of the car, I raised my eyes and saw a familiar figure, although this person had not been seen for more than ten years, but he recognized it at a glance, this person was none other than the old branch secretary who was often contacted on the phone.

At this time, the old branch secretary didn't recognize me, and was still looking at the car door. The old branch secretary is really old, his hair is all white, his face is full of wrinkles, he is almost eighty years old, but he is not hunched at the waist, and he looks quite energetic.

When I saw him, I felt like I saw a relative I hadn't seen for many years, but I did treat him as my own relative and elder. Because it was he who saved me by all odds during the criticism of the fight back then, and after my grandfather was arrested and put in prison, he still carried food on his back to me every month, so that I would not starve to death.

I looked at him silently, walked over, and shouted: "Old branch secretary......
