My grandmother was stroking my head with her hand while slowly recounting the past more than 40 years ago, and I looked at my grandmother's white hair and deep eyes, as if I had returned to that era.

At that time, my grandmother had just married my grandfather, and due to the severe drought and locust plague, there was a famine, forcing the family to have no choice but to migrate to the northeast with most of the deserters, and the road was extremely difficult.

Not to mention food, even the roots, bark and weeds encountered on the road were eaten by these escapees, and even children would be dried, and I don't know how many people starved to death along the way, even grandpa's younger brother starved to death on the road.

Grandma took a long and deep breath, as if she still couldn't calm down the mood at that time.

At that time, there was no way to starve people, and even the phenomenon of cannibalism appeared, and when they were in extreme difficulty, human nature was gone, and only instinct - animal nature remained.

One day, my grandfather came out to look for food, and found a rabbit on the edge of a deep pit, and I didn't know that the rabbit was because of the heat or hunger, so he stared at the pit like that.

Luck was really good, it was not right, it happened to hit the rabbit's head, stretched out a few legs and did not move. This grandpa is so happy, let alone meat, he doesn't even have anything to eat. And the family was also hungry at that time, this is life-saving food!

Grandpa hid the rabbit in his arms, for fear of being seen by others and snatched it, and after walking for a while, he saw his family resting behind a dirt slope, and saw that there was no one around, so he took the rabbit out.

The family was very happy, and my grandmother hurriedly went to collect dry firewood, gathered it together, and took out the flint to make a fire.

Soon, the thick aroma of meat had begun to emanate, and the family stared directly at the rabbit on the fire, with saliva in their mouths.

At this time, a hoarse voice came from the other side of the dirt slope: "Xuan, Xuan, Xuan, Xuan, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, enter the Xuanmen, be an old way, both comfortable and free, for people to see through the meaning, it is better to be a monk and an old way." ”

The family looked at it casually, only to see an old Taoist priest in shabby clothes and even a little sloppy walking out of the other side of the dirt slope, and repeatedly muttered those few words as he walked.

Grandpa carefully observed this person, because the era was very chaotic, and as the pillar of the family, he had to protect the safety of his family.

When this old Taoist walked in, my grandfather saw clearly that this old Taoist was about seventy years old, with little gray hair, wearing a shabby Taoist robe with many patches, carrying a delicate bookcase behind his back, holding a tattered dust whisk in his hand, one trouser leg drooping, the other rolled up, a pair of straw sandals with exposed toes and heels on his feet, and boredomly shaking the dust in his hands to drive away the flies flying around him.

Looking at his face again, he was startled by his grandfather, not that this old Taoist was too ugly, but that this person had a fairy wind and bones, two white eyebrows hanging down his sideburns, his eyes were like electricity, and his indescribable spirit was very inconsistent with this dress.

Grandpa hurriedly stood up, planning to help him, but who knew that this old man shook his arm and almost made a heel for grandpa, grandpa was surprised that he had such strength at such an age.

"The kid is quite sensible, my old man's body is still hard, I don't need your help." Lao Dao said with a little dissatisfaction.

Grandma saw that this person was so rude, so she said angrily: "You old man is so unreasonable, I am kind enough to help you, but you say so!" ”

Grandma felt puzzled and wanted to continue, but grandpa hurriedly stopped grandma and signaled not to say anything.

But the old man didn't seem to hear his grandmother's words, and his eyes lit up as he stared at the roasted haode rabbit immediately, and his saliva flowed out.

Seeing this, Grandpa said, "The old man is also hungry, so let's eat some together." ”

This time, Lao Dao didn't have the stubbornness just now, and kept saying "that dare is good, that dare is good"

When the old man walked to the rabbit, his grandfather's mother opened his mouth and asked with a suspicious face: "Hearing this voice so familiar, although I was born blind and can't see, but my ears are good, you are the eldest brother Zhang, right?" ”

"What Brother Zhang, I don't know, let's eat meat!" Lao Dao didn't pay attention to his grandfather and mother at all. Everyone was helpless, and after a while, the rabbit also passed the test, and a rabbit was distributed to more than a dozen people, but it is conceivable that each person received very little.

The old man ate it in a few bites, licked the meat scraps on his hands, and stared at the rabbit meat left over from his grandfather's hand, and his grandfather had no choice but to hand him the rabbit meat in his hand.

This rabbit was quickly eaten, and everyone was still unsatisfied, but at this time, Lao Dao was sitting upright, with a serious face, which made people awe-inspired, and completely lost the sloppy appearance just now.

Lao Dao took a deep breath, looked at my grandmother (grandpa's mother) and said: "Brother and sister, I am your eldest brother Zhang, your whole family's life hangs by a thread, hurry up and run for your life in the northeast!" ”

Without waiting for his grandmother to reply, he pointed to his grandfather and hurriedly said: "Boy, come here, this bookcase will be handed over to you, and the books in it must be kept well, and it will be useful if you meet someone destined in the future." After saying that, he closed his eyes, looked bitter, and said no more.

Grandma asked a few words, but when she didn't answer, she stopped asking and told Grandpa to pick up the bookcase and leave quickly.

The family rushed for more than ten miles before finding a forest to rest, and the grandfather asked what was going on with the grandmother.

"This is your father's year-old friend, named Zhang Daoyi, is a wandering Taoist priest, your father saved his life in the early years, and you and your father became brothers, Brother Zhang is a half-immortal, he can pinch and calculate, what he said must be reasonable, we have to listen to him!" Grandma said affirmatively.

Grandpa fell into deep thought after listening, and then grandma sighed, and took out a piece of paper from the drawer of the bookcase, there were a few lines of words on the paper, fortunately, my grandma studied in private school for a few years when she was a child, and the words on the paper could probably be understood.

Roughly speaking, my brother's family is miserable, and there is a catastrophe on the way to escape from the wilderness, since I can't ignore it, I should repay my brother's life-saving grace, after you leave, I will definitely die, and I will be retributed for leaking the secret of heaven, and my eldest nephew will come back to bury my bones if he is grateful, and don't let me expose my body in the wilderness. There are also a few books in the bookcase that are the treasures of my Taoist temple, be sure to keep them well, not to lose or damage them, and they will be useful when they meet them in the future, I hope you will do it yourself! Zhang Daoyi stayed.

After reading it, Grandpa hurriedly ran back to the place where he roasted the rabbit just now, and on the way back, he met a few people who escaped, saying that he had a beard (that is, bandits) in the southwest just now, and he killed and robbed, which was very cruel.

Grandpa saw that it was the direction where the family was staying just now, and he was surprised, this old Taoist priest is really a master, if it wasn't for the family running away, wouldn't it be that he met the beard, and it is estimated that the family would have explained it.

Thinking like this, the more anxious I became, worried about Zhang Laodao's safety. When he ran to the place, he could scare his grandfather enough, only to see more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground, dressed as beards, and in the middle of these corpses, Zhang Laodao was sitting there covered in blood, motionless, his eyes closed.

Grandpa shouted a few times and didn't answer, so he dared to step forward and probe, it turned out that this old Tao had already choked.

After the story was told, my grandmother was already full of tears, and it can be seen that our family is very grateful to Zhang Laodao for saving his life, which can also explain the reason why Grandpa Weishenme didn't let me touch the bookcase.

While I am grateful to Zhang Laodao, I am more and more interested in those books, what kind of secret will it be to let people keep haode books even when they die?
