I took care of my second uncle's funeral, and when I was about to go back to Modu, three uninvited guests came to the house.

I recognize the middle-aged woman at the front. That's the head of our community's neighborhood committee. The day before yesterday, when I went to the neighborhood committee to ask for my second uncle's death certificate, I was not less troubled by her. Behind her were two men dressed in Adi. One is in his thirties and forties, and the other is in his sixties. Visually it is a father and son.

The middle-aged woman pointed to our house from a distance and said to the two behind her that this was Zhong Youdao's address. As soon as she entered, she pointed at me in a sharp voice and shouted, "You young man is really ignorant! Ask me to write a death certificate early in the morning, this kind of bad luck doesn't even give a red envelope to suppress evil! I haven't had any bad luck in the past two days! ”

I'm on fire, what kind of people are these! I need to ask you early in the morning to write a death certificate, I'm in a good mood, am I? I smiled and said that it is not easy to ask for red envelopes? You wait.

I walked into the house, grabbed a few pieces of the underworld coins left over from the second uncle, and stuffed the red envelopes into bulging bags. He came out and handed it to the middle-aged woman and said, "Take it well, take it over there and spend it slowly!" ”

The middle-aged woman was originally smiling, but when she opened the red envelope, her face turned green, and she scolded, saying: "What kind of bullshit university is now, teaching college students like you has no quality at all!" ”

I smiled and said, "Wouldn't our country be sad if even our generation were people you thought were of good quality?" ”

The middle-aged woman was stunned for a moment, not knowing if she had the ability to understand what I said, and continued to shout and curse loudly.

My mother is not a soft persimmon who is bullied, she said calmly: "You can't quarrel with me, but our family has just done white things, and I don't want to entangle with you." Please leave now, or I won't mind asking my second uncle to come to your house first when he returns to his house in a few days!" ”

The middle-aged woman was too frightened to make a sound, and when she left, she turned around and scolded us as she walked, saying that we were poisonous and so on.

The two Adi men stared directly at the second uncle's spiritual position. I thought they were the minions of that strange woman, and I was angry, so I said angrily: "Your master is gone, what are you still doing here!" ”

The young one said, "You misunderstood, we don't know the neighborhood committee lady, we just asked her to lead the way." The old man trembled and pointed to the second uncle's spiritual position, choked up and said, "The Taoist of the Heavenly Dao Sect has passed away?" ”

Could it be that he is a friend of the second uncle? I was surprised. I said, "Yes, my second uncle left the day before yesterday." ”

The old man let out an "ah", rolled his eyelids and fainted. I was shocked, this has to be so close to the second uncle! I was busy with the young man to take the old man to the hospital. The doctor said that the old man was in a hurry, had a slight stroke, and there was no major problem, but he would have to stay in the hospital for observation for a few days.

Then I asked the young man, "Who are you?" What's the matter with coming to my second uncle? ”

The man's eyes turned red for a moment, and he said that his name was Chen Youbo, and the old man was his father, and his name was Chen Shisan. They are from Zhanjiang.

The relationship between their family and the second uncle has to start from seven years ago.

Seven years ago, Chen Youbo's son was just born. When the child is 100 days old, the family happily organizes 100 days of wine for the child in a restaurant, and relatives and friends wish the child a long and healthy life.

A relative of Chen Youbo happened to know the second uncle, so he took it upon himself to invite him over.

Chen Youbo said: "Back then, my relative introduced your second uncle as a master of Taoism, Master Maoshan. I'm ashamed to say that I thought your second uncle was a god stick at the time, and he came to the restaurant just to cheat money. I wanted to drive him away, but my father and my wife both said that on such a joyous day, it would be good if a Taoist said a few auspicious words for the child. As soon as I think about it, I should spend money to buy blessings for my children. ”

Chen Youbo's wife took the child to the second uncle and asked him to show the child.

Unexpectedly, when the second uncle looked at the child in the swaddling clothes, he frowned and said, "This child is a short-lived species!" As soon as he said this, the audience exploded. The guests talked a lot, saying that where did this wild Taoist priest come from, and he actually cursed other people's children like this.

The child's grandfather, Chen Shisan, was even more protective of his grandson, and stepped forward to push the second uncle and asked him to make his words clear.

The second uncle said that Chen Youbo's child should have been a monk wizard, but this child would have a catastrophe when he was seven years old. This catastrophe is extremely dangerous, and it is difficult for others to resolve it, so it is recommended that Chen Youbo let this child learn the Tao from him, so that the child can overcome this misfortune by himself.

Chen Youbo said that he was originally very disgusted with these feudal superstitions. Hearing the second uncle talk nonsense like this, he was even more annoyed, so he asked the second uncle to get out of the way right now.

The second uncle was helpless and said, "If you don't listen to me, I can't help it." If anything happens to this child in seven years, you can go to the Tiandao Hall next to such and such a park to find me. ”

The originally happy banquet was disturbed by the second uncle, and everyone was in a heavy mood. The person who took the second uncle was even more eager to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Although Chen Youbo's family didn't believe the words of the second uncle. But at first, I was inevitably uneasy, and I was always careful when taking care of the child, for fear that something strange would happen to him. As time passed, the child not only did not get entangled in strange things, but also grew white and fat, smart and clever. The Chen family gradually reassured, and gradually forgot the words of the second uncle.

In a blink of an eye, it was the child's seventh birthday. Like many city kids, Chen Youbo's son's birthday is basically spent at KFC and playgrounds all day. The child had a great time throughout the day without any abnormalities.

The next day, when Chen Youbo's wife woke up the child, she found that she couldn't wake up. The child fell into a coma at some point. The family rushed to take the child to the hospital, and the hospital could not detect anything.

What's worse is that the child's vital signs are declining. Of course, they thought that the doctor at that hospital was incompetent, and immediately sent the child to a tertiary hospital in Guangzhou for treatment. However, even this hospital could not find out why. A week later, the hospital issued a critical illness notice to the child.

Chen Youbo's family was in pain. At this time, Chen Youbo's wife suddenly remembered the "nonsense" Taoist priest at the 100-day wine banquet seven years ago.

She cried and asked Chen Youbo to invite the second uncle. Chen Youbo felt in his heart that even so many professional doctors couldn't save the child, what use could a Taoist priest do? But they have no choice at all, and the second uncle can be regarded as a ray of light in the darkness.

Chen Youbo immediately called and asked his relatives who stayed in Zhanjiang to go to Tiandao Hall to invite the second uncle over. When they arrived at such and such a park, they found that the hall called Tiandaotang had been closed for several months. They inquired nearby, only to know that the Taoist priest in the Heavenly Dao Hall was named Zhong Youdao, and he was a Taoist priest of the Maoshan Heavenly Dao Sect. But no one knows where he went.

Chen Youbo used his network to find out that the second uncle had a sister-in-law and a nephew in Beishi. Their father and son were worried that because of the dislike back then, others would not be able to invite the second uncle, so they specially rushed over in person. What I didn't expect to see was the second uncle's spiritual position.

I kind of understand that the reason why Chen Shisan fainted was not because of the death of the second uncle, but because he felt that once the second uncle died, he would not even have the last hope of saving his grandson.
