My father, who was talking about atheism and science a moment ago, is now speechless.

The land lord glanced at the sunken part of his left shoulder, and laughed, "If it is a living person, even if your stick does not hurt your muscles and bones, it will break the skin and bleed, but fortunately, I am not a living person." But even if I'm crazy, should you hit me? ”

This land lord has been holding me and grandpa, in my heart he is a stingy person, if my father beats others, it's okay, he hits the land lord, rural people dare not offend, but also the most respected person, if he is angry, not only grandpa, my father and mother will be implicated.

Although I don't have such a deep relationship with my father, they are also my father, so I pulled the corner of my father's clothes and hurriedly whispered, "Dad, hurry up and admit your mistake, he is really the lord of the land." ”

I seemed to be scared stupid, holding the flat pole and refusing to speak, but the land lord looked at me and smiled and said, "I am still a child sensible, if you die in the future, you can follow me." Then he waved his hand at his father, "Forget it, there's no need to admit your mistakes, today I originally had some things to ask Sun Wenjing clearly, and I was scolded as soon as I entered the door, it seems that I am warning me that today is not a good day, and I can only come back on another day." ”

I thought we were going to die tonight, there was no copper bell at the door, we weren't eating, that Liu Cheng wasn't there, and my father beat him with a stick, I didn't have any hope, but he said that he would come back one day, which made me a little confused.

As he had done, he immediately turned and left my house, and gradually disappeared into the night, when a few dog barks came from the village, indicating that he had really gone away.

After he left, Dad sweated profusely and took a few steps back, sat down on the chair behind him, and muttered, "Are there really ghosts in this world?" ”

I thought he was asking me, so I said yes, but my father didn't look at me, got up and entered the side house, my mother and I immediately followed up, my father walked straight to my grandfather's bed, looked at my grandfather and said, "Dad, you don't listen to so many people over the years, I used to think that you are romantic, but people's hearts are not stones, what are your difficulties, you should have explained to us earlier, now even the land lord has found us, it doesn't matter if we are half buried in the loess, but Sun Qing's road is still long, you can't cut off Sun Qing's future." ”

Grandpa, who had not moved in bed, listened to his father's pleading words, slowly opened his eyes, turned his head to stare at us, I was overjoyed, grandpa woke up more worthy of making me happy than my father and mother came back, and hurriedly said, "Grandpa, are you okay." ”

Grandpa put his eyes on me, and said weakly, "I can't help it, I pretend to sleep before they stop, someone wants to fix us, and let the Sun family cut off their children and grandchildren, I have been walking on thin ice and working hard all these years, there are some things I have never dared to tell you, and now I can't say it, do you know how your grandma died?" ”

I guess the whole township knows that my grandmother was angry with my grandfather, and I have always been straightforward with my grandfather, so I said, "I was angry with you." ”

Grandpa shook his head with a wry smile, then struggled to turn over and sit up, the first thing was to pick up the cigarette gun placed at the head of the bed, shivered and filled a bag of cigarettes and smoked it, after several puffs, he showed a satisfied expression, and then pointed to the wardrobe at the head of the bed, and then said to me, "I have a box in the closet, you go and take it out." ”

I immediately went to the cabinet and rummaged through it, and saw a box of worn-out boxes under a stack of tattered tunics, I thought it might be a gold and silver jewelry saved by my grandfather, but when I opened it, there was only one broken shoe inside, and I brought the box to my grandfather and said, "There is only one broken shoe in it." ”

Grandpa pointed to the shoe and said, "At that time, the family was so poor that they couldn't even afford to wear clothes, and one morning your grandmother found this broken shoe at the door, and felt that it could be worn by sewing and mending, so she picked it up and went back to the house, and the next morning, your grandma just went out and died at the door, and your grandma was not angry with me, but killed by this shoe." ”

I listened to it very mysteriously, and my father and mother were full of disbelief.

Grandpa continued, "Shoes are evil, and your grandmother picked up the evil and took it home as a treasure, so there will be an accident." This is not the end, since that day, I have often dreamed, dreaming that your grandfather's ox does not plow the land, he leads a calf to plough the field, your grandfather has no children and no daughters, the old grandson's family has descendants in our family, and the calf does not refer to your father. Grandpa said and looked up at his father, and said, "I'm afraid that something will happen to you, and then the old Sun family will really be dead, so I will help you go on a blind date everywhere, you get married and have a baby as soon as possible, even if you have an accident, the old Sun family will not be the last." ”

Dad said, "It's just a dream." ”

Grandpa turned his face, "Although you can't believe all these things, you can't believe them either, I must have my reasons for doing this, but fortunately, Sun Qing was born later, so it stopped, I thought this matter was over, where did I think there was an accident some time ago." ”

Grandpa should be talking about Chen Yingying's death, and since then, there have been strange things in our family.

"Who the hell wants to fix our house?" Dad asked Grandpa.

Grandpa shook his head, "If I knew, I wouldn't have to pretend to be dead, just go to him and settle accounts." In the past, the land lord was not involved, and I was at ease, but now even the land lord has been involved, and I have some things that I can't say clearly with the land lord, so I just pretend to be dead and pretend to sleep, lest he come to me for questioning, I'm afraid that time is running out, these things have to be explained to you first, if I die one day, you can also have a defense. ”

I thought for a moment and asked, "Is it the land lord who wants to tidy up our family?" ”

Grandpa said, "This land lord only recently came to our area, the previous things have nothing to do with him, he probably found out that those orphan girls and widows were wrong before he came to us, the new official took office three fires, and this first fire burned on our heads." ”

When my grandfather talked about the orphan widows, I asked a question I had always wanted to ask, "Are those orphan widows really soulless?" ”

Grandpa was stunned for a moment, and hesitated for a while before saying, "Their affairs, I'll tell you when I really die, you don't understand it now, I made peace with them, it's all for you, you must not mention this matter to them, otherwise they will all become like Chen Yingying." ”

I sighed, grandpa said that he had been talking for so long a time, and there were only three useful words, one was that someone wanted to rectify our family, the second was that grandma was killed, and the third was that it was not the land lord who rectified us, the land lord was just here to investigate the case.

My father and mother didn't care about those orphan girls and widows, they cared about me, and said to my grandfather eagerly, "Then what to do now, the land lord has come to the door, and it's not a way for you to pretend to be asleep all the time, he is still saying today that he will follow Sun Qing when he dies, what if he is really angry with Sun Qing?" ”

Grandpa thought for a while, stared at me and said, "Go to the tomb to find Liu Cheng, recognize him as a master, or recognize him as a godfather, he should be a Taoist priest before he dies, Taoist priests have some skills, and the land lord will generally give Taoist priests face and let him come forward to protect you." ”

"Okay." Wang Duangong also said this before, it seems that if my family wants to live, they really have to go to Liu Cheng to save their lives.

After Grandpa explained this to us, he collapsed on the bed and pretended to be asleep.

My father and mother were afraid that something would happen to me, so they eagerly carried a basket of yin and yang money, and then took me to the tomb, kowtowed and burned incense in front of Liu Cheng's grave, and then begged Liu Cheng to save me.

I just begged for a long time, until the sky was gray and there was no reaction in the tomb, and finally I could only turn my head and go home, and I just turned my head and walked a few steps, and Liu Cheng's voice came from behind me.

"Little one, have you figured out how to repay me?"

We turned around and saw Yoo Seungzheng standing in front of the grave looking at us.

Father and mother knew that Liu Cheng was not a living person, and even the land lord had seen it, so they could naturally accept the existence of ghosts, because Liu Cheng was regarded as a lifesaver for our family, and father and mother immediately stepped forward and begged, "I also begged Master Liu to save Sun Qing." ”

Liu Cheng didn't reply, just stared at me.

I threw myself down and shouted, "Godfather." ”

Liu Cheng's face froze when he heard this, and then he smiled awkwardly, "What do you think, I don't look that old." ”

Liu Cheng looks like he is in his twenties, he died young, and he really doesn't look like a godfather at his age, so I thought about it and said, "Why don't I call you Master?" ”

Liu Cheng blinked, hesitated for a long time before nodding and said, "It's okay, after calling me master, you have to serve your master like a father, in the future, I will tell you to go east, you can't go west, what I tell you to do, you have to do it, can you do it?" If I can do it, I will be your master. ”

In order to save my life, I can accept any conditions, and I just serve him, so I nodded again and again, "Okay." ”

Liu Cheng smiled, then stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of my house and said, "It's just right, your house is in trouble." ”

We looked in the direction of his finger and saw two white doves landing on the roof of my house.

My father and I stared at each other, and although there were very few pigeons in the countryside, it was not surprising that two pigeons landed on the roof of my house.

Dad looked at Liu Cheng and asked him puzzled, "Master Liu, is there anything wrong with those two pigeons?" ”

Liu Cheng said to his father, "The pigeons rise at sunrise to report the news, and they come to inform you that it is time to 'cut the child', one is to inform Sun Wenjing, and the other is to inform you, it seems that someone wants to make your Sun family cut off their grandchildren." ”

He doesn't explain that we can understand what it means to cut off the child, grandpa's son is my father, my father's son is me, my father is my son, I am my grandson, if we have an accident together, isn't it called cutting off the child and the grandchild, doesn't it mean that my father and I will have an accident?
