"This is Yin Qiufeng?" Li Yang and I asked at the same time.

"yes." Yin Weiguo looked at the photo, his wrinkled face was full of vicissitudes. He smiled bitterly: "There is really no reason to talk about life, people make a lot of money, become a big boss and become a master, I have been imprisoned in such a place for decades and eaten chalk ash all my life." ”

I don't know how to comfort Lu Dao: "Teacher Yin, people don't lie in how much money they have, but in whether they have a meaningful life." ”

Yin Weiguo and Li Yang laughed at the same time, and Li Yang said: "You don't believe such nonsense yourself." Teacher Yin waved his hand: "You can't say that, Xiao Liu has a point." People live in this world, and if they are not more than a hundred years old, the white horse will grow old inadvertently. If you are alive, you should leave something to this world, to prove that you have been here. I'm actually quite content, I usually teach students, I don't have anything to do, read books, drink some wine, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and the people in the village respect me a lot, that's it. ”

Li Yang hurriedly said: "Contentment is always happy, contentment is always happy." The highest state of life is contentment. Whoever steals, fornicates, and adulterers does not always come up from discontentment. ”

"Teacher Yin, tell us about Yin Qiufeng, he was so stupid when he was a child?" I say.

Yin Weiguo looked at the photo, his thoughts were long, and his tone was full of the vicissitudes of time: "Yin Qiufeng said that his life experience is quite miserable, his parents died early, and there are no other relatives in the village, he grew up eating hundreds of family meals since he was a child." This one is a mouthful, and that one is clothes, anyway, it will be raised in a mess. His house collapsed due to the rain that year, and there was no place to live, so the village let him live in the old ancestral hall, which was dark and cloudy, and it was really difficult for him to live as a child. He has been different from other children since he was a child, he doesn't like to talk alone, and he always likes to be in a daze. We threw stones at him and threw donkey dung and eggs, and he didn't hide, but smashed all over his body, isn't this a fool? It wasn't until later that Qi's mother came, and Qi's mother often went to the ancestral hall to see him, maybe she pitied him, so she often took care of him, bought things and bathed, and made us children envious. When the villagers asked, Qi's mother said that she had an eye for the child and liked it at first sight. It's a pity......"

"What a pity?" We asked.

"It's a pity that the kid was still a fool at the time, Qi's mother was so good to him, but he didn't seem to know it. Wherever you lead, you can play, it's just a warm word, the whole wooden stake is not there. People in our village said that this kid was either stupid or had a bad conscience. Later, one day, Qi's mother was leaving, and she wanted to take him with her. The village agreed, but the kid didn't know where to run, and he couldn't find him. Qi's mother cried the day she left, I remember it clearly. The kid returned to the village after Qi's mother left, and after three or four years of mixing, we all said that this child was finished, and he didn't know what evil he did in his previous life, and he was reincarnated as a fool in this life. It's weird, don't look at him stupid, but he can't die of hunger and freeze. One day, he disappeared from the village, and we didn't look for him. Who knows, a few decades later, people have become big bosses, and the little secretary next to him is like a flower. What do you say? ”

I sighed when I heard it: "It's all fate, don't say anything, tears are pouring out." ”

"Yes, it's fate." Yin Weiguo said: "Fifty knows the destiny of heaven. I already know the destiny of heaven, we are not envious or jealous, a person has a person's way of living. ”

We were chatting, and it was already dark. A little girl of six or seven years old ran in outside the door, wearing a dirty cotton jacket and a ponytail, her face was flushed. Ran into the door, snorted and panted, and saw that we didn't speak, so he bowed respectfully: "Hello guests." ”

Li Yang and I are so comfortable, where did this kid come from is really sensible. Li Yang walked over and squatted in front of the little girl to look at her: "Tell uncle, what's your name?" ”

"Hello uncle, my name is Liu Yan." The little girl's mouth is sweet.

Li Yang took out a hundred yuan from his pocket: "Liu Yan, you are so polite, uncle will give you a hundred yuan to buy something delicious." ”

Liu Yan waved his hand: "Uncle, I don't want it, you can't just take outsiders' money, you won't be punished for nothing." ”

"Oops." Li Yang looked at Yin Weiguo: "Teacher Yin, your children here are too sensible and can use idioms." It's all because of your good education. ”

Yin Weiguo smiled: "Liu Yan is the smartest child in our village, but she is sensible and is my beloved apprentice." It's a pity for this little girl, born in such a poor ditch, if she can go out to study, she will become a good material in the future. ”

I walked over and patted Liu Yan's little head: "Liu Yan, you're welcome, listen to my brother, this uncle has money, just take it for you, buy some stationery and clothes." Obedient. ”

Li Yang glared at me: "Why is your face so big, I'm an uncle, you're an elder brother." ”

I laughed, "I'm young." ”

Yin Weiguo said: "Swallow, just give it to you." Your father's medicine bill is cut off again, so take the money to buy medicine for your father. ”

Liu Yan took the money and bowed deeply, and then said, "Teacher Yin, the village chief's grandfather said that the meals are ready, and the guests are invited to the ancestral hall." ”

Yin Weiguo waved his hand: "I know the way." Liu Yan ran away.

I saw Li Yang still squatting on the ground, and went over to pull him up: "What, look at someone's little Lori?" ”

Li Yang ignored me and asked Yin Weiguo: "Teacher Yin, what did you call her just now?" ”

"Swallows." Yin Weiguo's second monk was puzzled: "Her name is Liu Yan, her family is a foreigner, and her surname is Liu." We all call her Swallow. Come with me, both of you. ”

We walked out of the office and on the road, I saw Li Yang frowning and asked what was wrong. Li Yang said: "I heard that Teacher Yin called that child Yanzi, and I felt weird, I don't know what it tasted like. You know that my grandmother's name is Qi Yan, and she was called 'Yanzi' when she was alive. ”

"You mean Liu Yan is the reincarnation of Qi Yan?" I asked.

"You're stupid." Li Yang said: "My grandma just left, Liu Yan is six or seven years old, what kind of life is she going to change." ”

As we spoke, we arrived at the entrance of the ancestral hall. I was shocked to see the ancestral hall, this ancestral hall covers a considerable area, high walls and black tiles, looking from the outside, I saw that the ancient cornices were exposed inside, full of the weight and gloom of the years. The red-lacquered gate is hung with an ancient bronze ring of lion's head, and the high steps in front of the door are made of bluestone strips. There is nothing outside, and as soon as you walk into the main courtyard inside, the atmosphere of the quaint years comes to your face. The courtyard is very deep, with a patio in the middle, and several old locust trees that look like ghosts, and their branches extend beyond the wall. Looking up, it was really like sitting in a well and watching the sky, and that day it became a small square piece, and the depressing feeling was breathless.

Inside is the main hall, and at the entrance is a long corridor of civil structure, which is dark and gloomy, like a deep cave.

The feast was held in the courtyard, surrounded by electric lamps with a very high wattage, and pine torches were burned in the corners, and the night shone like day.

Several large tables were put together, and all the people in the village came, sitting there in a proper manner, looking at the steaming meat dishes on the table, swallowing saliva. A bunch of children and old ladies gathered at the door, climbed on the trees and looked inside.

When we were seated, the village elder Yin Tou stood up with a big bowl and cleared his throat: "Those who should come are here, and those who haven't come raise their hands." ”

"Coax~" Everyone smiled at the scene.

Lao Yin Tou said: "Today is a big day in the village, welcome Mr. Li and all the guests to our village to visit and guide, and thank Mr. Li on behalf of the group for their assistance and support to our village. Mr. Li, do you want to say a few words? ”

Vice President Li stood up and looked at the villagers in the courtyard, and was quite touched: "Yinjia Village is the hometown of Mr. Yin Qiufeng, the chairman of the board of directors of our group, he was raised from the village, and as his friend and subordinate before his death, it is ......appropriate to support the village."

"What do you say?" Lao Yin stood up: "Mr. Li, I'll stop you, you say...... Yin Qiufeng him? ”

"Mr. Yin, he passed away." Vice President Li's voice trembled a little.

Lao Yin's face was endless: "It's really a white-haired person sending a black-haired person, how do you say this." Autumn Wind is good, I grew up watching him, alas, forget it. His life is also worth it, he has been a big boss and eats and drinks spicy food, and he has lived a hundred years for us poor people. Come, I propose, everyone bring up the wine, and the first glass is sent off for the autumn breeze. ”

This is said quite roughly, and it is also difficult to hear, with a hint of helplessness and shouting. We all picked up the wine glasses and were about to start drinking, when Vice President Li suddenly spoke: "Old Yin, our President Yin had a last word before he died, and he wanted me to toast a bowl of wine for the ancestors and ancestors in the ancestral hall for him. ”

Old Yin nodded: "It should, it should." Mr. Li, there is no light inside, I will let you in. Dazhu, take a torch and send Mr. Li into it to toast. Come over a big black man, holding a torch, respectfully: "Mr. Li, please follow me." ”

Vice President Li glanced at me and Li Yang: "Xiao Liu, Xiao Li, you two come with me." ”

I was so puzzled that I got up and walked inside. Just as he was about to go, he felt that his hand was being held by someone, and when he looked down, the little Liu Yan ran to his side at some point and whispered, "Brother, I also want to go in and have a look." ”

I touched her little head: "This is not good, my brother is going to do big things." ”

Liu Yan took my hand and pouted and was about to cry: "Please, good brother." ”

I looked at the broken ancestral hall and thought that there should be no special taboos in it, and it was okay to take her with me. I told the village chief to take Liu Yan in to have a look. Lao Yin was a little embarrassed: "There are generally not many people in there, the yin qi is too heavy, I usually lock the door and don't let these children in......"

Liu Yan cried, with red circles in her eyes.

I felt distressed when I saw it, and said, "Village chief, I'll take her in and come out after a circle, nothing will happen." ”

Lao Yin nodded helplessly, and agreed. He didn't want to offend the God of Wealth, so he pointed at Mr. Li in the future.

I told Liu Yan not to talk nonsense when I went in, obediently. The little girl nodded in agreement.

A few of us walked into the main hall, it was pitch black inside, the torch in the hand of the big pillar flickered and flickered, through the firelight to see that the ancestral tablet was high inside, and there was a big incense burner on the ground, it seemed that no one had incense for a long time, and it was cold and abnormal.

Vice President Li knelt respectfully on the futon in front of the tablet and kowtowed three times, closed his eyes, and his expression was very solemn.

Li Yang and I didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd, so we could only watch quietly.

After kowtowing, she stood up and said to Dazhu: "Mr. Yin confessed before he died, and let us go to worship the old Bodhisattva in the ancestral hall." ”

Dazhu said: "That thing is scary, what is there to see." ”

Li Yang hurriedly said: "This brother is all confessed by President Yin, so let us take a look." ”

Dazhu muttered: "What Mr. Yin, it's just a second fool." "He took the torch and led us to the apse.

The apse is small, and it is better to say that it is a hall than a room. In the light of the torches, you can see the rotten and broken carved windows, the red pillars are peeling off the paint, and the carved beams on the heads are carved with a large number of tadpole-sized characters, which look like scriptures. The beams are covered with cobwebs.

When you walk in, you feel a cool chill. In such a cramped space, there is only a tall shrine tablet with a statue on it.

Dazhu said: "This is the old Bodhisattva. ”

The statue was an old man, skinny and skinny, with a deep black skin, wrapped in a dirty robe of no primary color, which looked more like a mummy than a statue. In particular, the expression on the old man's face was vivid, his eyes were slightly closed, and the corners of his mouth were raised, as if he was smiling.

Li Yang looked stunned and said, "This seems to be a bodhisattva with a physical body." ”

Dazhu said: "Brother, what you said is good. We also came here in the 80's with old archaeologists, and they all said that this is a very rare bodhisattva in the flesh. It is said that this old Bodhisattva is sitting and passing away, and his body is not rotten, which is very rare, and he also says that he is a national treasure. ”

Vice President Li said: "Mr. Yin explained in his last words, let me give this old Bodhisattva a bowl of wine for him." ”

As she spoke, she spilled the bowl of wine on the table. The drink washed the dust off the table and ran down to the floor. At this time, Li Yang touched me and pouted. Following his gaze, I saw a worn-out offering table, engraved with many patterns, and the pen was very childish, which should have been drawn by a child.

Dazhu said: "These pictures are said to have been painted by Yin Qiufeng when he lived in the ancestral hall when he was a child. ”

Li Yang frowned: "Don't talk nonsense!" ”

The big pillar is stupid. According to my observation, it seems that the village is very uninterested in this Yin Qiufeng, and they are indignant when they see him get rich. Also, a stupid kid suddenly became a billionaire, and no one was balanced.

I looked down at the pattern, and sighed in my heart, Yin Qiufeng's painting was actually a temple.
