Chapter 103: Recognize the cow as a godfather
Godfather?
Does this Xiao Lu still have a godfather?
Now there is such a father in these years, and it is all derogatory.
is like a flight attendant, a sales lady, a very legitimate profession, but as soon as you say it, the first thing people think of is not their profession, but how chaotic their circle is.
I shook my head and laughed self-deprecatingly, how did I think of these things.
"You mean, Ji Banxian is Xiao Lu's godfather?" I looked at Chen Jialuo with some surprise.
Chen Jialuo smiled bitterly and said no.
"Not? So what the hell are you investigating? Does it have anything to do with Ji Banxian? "I wondered.
"Sort of!" A strange look flashed on Chen Jialuo's face.
What does it mean to be there?
I glared at him impatiently, "Yes is yes, no is no, say it clearly, don't grind like a woman!" ”
Before Chen Jialuo could speak, Sun Yi on the side was not happy, rolled his eyes at me several times, and said What's wrong with the woman? Where is the woman grinding?
Well, how did I forget that there was another Sun Yi beside me.
"Don't interrupt, get down to business!" I smiled apologetically at her.
"Well, you hurry up, otherwise some people will use women as analogies again!" When Sun Yi said this, he looked at me unconvinced.
"Stop making noise?" Chen Jialuo didn't say anything in a hurry, but stared at me and Sun Yi with great interest.
"Who is arguing! Hurry up and say, who is Xiao Lu's godfather! ”
"It's interesting to watch the two of you flirt, why don't you go ahead first?" Chen Jialuo said that he laughed first.
"Who flirted with him!"
"That's it!" Sun Yi and I glanced at each other, our faces full of disdain.
"Alright, let's get down to business!" Chen Jialuo coughed dryly twice, and then said slowly: "Actually, you may not believe it when you say it, Xiao Lu's godfather is not a person!" ”
Not human? What kind of meme is this?
Sun Yi and I glanced at each other, and we could see the incomprehension in each other's eyes.
"Yes, it's not a human, it's a cat! It's the black cat raised by Ji Banxian. Chen Jialuo let out a long breath after speaking, looking a little helpless.
"What?" I jumped straight out of the stool in amazement and almost hit the waiter who served us food.
The waiter was stunned.
After the waiter had prepared all the dishes and told them not to come in if they had nothing to do, I asked Chen Jialuo what was going on.
I thought Ji Banxian was Xiao Lu's grandfather, grandfather, or that godfather, but I couldn't imagine that Xiao Lu's godfather was a black cat?
Or is it a black cat raised by Ji Banxian?
It's a bit mysterious.
"Yes! I thought I had heard it wrong, but I realized that I had heard it correctly after confirming it again and again, Xiao Lu's godfather was indeed a black cat! Chen Jialuo smiled boringly.
Chen Jialuo said that Xiao Lu's father told him that Xiao Lu only recognized a black cat because Xiao Lu had a strange illness when he was young.
It was normal for Xiao Lu to be three years old, but once when she followed her mother home during the summer vacation, she fell into a river and became seriously ill, and then she couldn't speak, she would only let out an animal-like roar, and would eat chickens, ducks and geese raw, and crawl on the ground with her hands and feet like an animal.
In the second half of the night, Xiao Lu would also say crazy things about the game, and the gods and gods were related to ghosts and gods.
Xiao Lu's father took Xiao Lu to all over the big hospital but did not find the root of the disease, and he was never cured. Later, I met a wandering Taoist priest, saying that Xiao Lu had hit an evil spirit, and she would be fine if she recognized a black cat as her godfather.
At that time, he was also a dead horse as a live horse doctor, although Xiao Lu's family felt unreliable, but there was really no way, so they wanted to try.
As a result, as soon as he recognized his godfather, Xiao Lu's illness was cured the next day, just like a normal person.
"It must be a conspiracy, where is there such a statement, it is not scientific!" When Sun Yi heard this, he pursed his lips disdainfully.
"No, there are many places that have this kind of saying about recognizing godfathers!" I interrupted Sun Yi.
It's not uncommon to recognize a black cat as a godfather, after all, I have seen some people recognize an old cow as a godfather, but why do they have a relationship with Ji Banxian?
"You've seen it?" Sun Yi suddenly became interested, and looked at me with wide eyes.
Chen Jialuo, who was pouring wine on the side, also stopped pouring wine and let me talk about it.
I took two sips of wine, calmed my heart for a while, and then slowly talked to them.
Nowadays, many rural areas have such a custom, and there are often rural children who recognize their godfathers and godmothers, and some of them have made appointments when they are just pregnant.
This has evolved into a rural custom, and some places also call this process "worshipping the house master and passing the house mother".
Most of them are when the child is underage.
There are also rules for the children of godfathers or godmothers.
Generally, the birth is not smooth, premature or difficult birth, and even often get sick at the age of one or two.
Some superstitious places will also invite others to be godfathers and godmothers through the guidance of some people, through the introduction of suitable people or the selection of objects, and most of the godfathers and godmothers in this case are a bit of fortune-telling in them.
Various objects in the countryside may be able to influence the choice of godfather and godmother, such as dishes and chopsticks, and even stone grinders can become tokens with aura.
After recognizing the godfather and godmother, many children want to kowtow and receive gifts during the New Year's holiday.
Of course, on the other hand, when the godfather and godmother are old, the godchildren must also be given financial subsidies and have a certain obligation to support.
He will also ask about matters such as marrying a wife and goddaughter, having children, building a house, and buying a house for his godson and goddaughter, and sometimes he has to contribute money and effort to help his children.
Whether it is the fortune teller's intentional arrangement or the real belief in God, once the relationship between the two relatives is formed, the two sides will become a family, take care of each other, visit each other and move around frequently, and even the movement of some people's families can become a good story between rural families.
For example, in some rural areas of Guizhou, the custom of recognizing godfathers is more strange.
They will find the oldest and strongest tree in the village to recognize their godfather and godmother, they believe that the tree is old, especially some longevity trees, with deep roots and thick leaves, which can shelter children from the wind and rain, ward off disasters, pray for peace, etc.
When it comes to the New Year's holidays, the adults in the family will also bring incense paper and offerings to worship the old tree, and the mouth is still babbling, to the effect that it is to bless the children's safety and healthy growth.
Doesn't it sound incredible, this is not strange, there are also people who let children recognize the big stone as "godfather", they generally choose the big stone exposed in the river at the edge of the village, to let the child recognize the godfather, this is the beautiful name "stone father", meaning that the stubborn stone does not rot for thousands of years, and does not melt for ten thousand years.
The one who recognizes the big tree as his godfather is Zhu Fangyu's niece.
In the past, when I was with Zhu Fangyu, I often went to her house to play. Her niece has a good relationship with her, so we all know each other.
In order to please Zhu Fangyu back then, I did my best, and her family was like my family, so I usually bought something for her four-year-old niece.
That day, I also went to find Zhu Fangyu as usual, but she dragged me to my hometown.
It was a busy time for the farm, and her family couldn't keep busy, so she pulled me back to help.
At that time, her family had to plow the land, but the family ploughed cattle to give birth to calves, and there was no way to do the farming, so her father and I went to her brother's house to borrow cows.
Because I was good to Zhu Fangyu's niece, when she saw me coming, she kept sticking to me and wouldn't let me go.
I couldn't help it, so I took Zhu Fangyu and her niece with her father.
Zhu Fangyu's home is quite far from her brother's house, about five or six kilometers away.
When we arrived, Zhu Fangyu's brother knew that I was her boyfriend, so he was more enthusiastic and said to have two drinks before leaving.
At that time, I was not easy to refuse, and Zhu Fangyu and her father were also good at drinking, so they drank some, and it was already more than six o'clock in the afternoon when they finished drinking, and they wanted to keep us for dinner, but it was already late at that time, and we had to pass by a cemetery halfway, so we didn't stay.
I don't know if everyone has let go of the cow, but the people who have let the cow know that the cow walks without hurrying or slow.
We set out at 6 o'clock, and by the time we walked back past the cemetery, it was already 9 o'clock in the evening.
At that time, the sky was drizzling and foggy, which gave people a bit of an eerie feeling.
When he was about to walk past the graveyard, the ox suddenly stopped walking, did not move, his eyes were wide open, and he was panting with his tail cocked.
Zhu Fangyu's father should have felt that something was wrong, so he leaned on the cow and lit a cigarette, smoked about half of the cigarette, and then inserted the cigarette directly in front of the cow, and asked Zhu Fangyu's niece to kneel down and ring her head at the cow three times, saying that she recognized the cow as a godfather.
At that time, I was stunned, I didn't understand what the situation was, how to let a little kid recognize the cow as a godfather in a good manner.
But Zhu Fangyu's father didn't say anything at the time, just let the little kid kowtow.
Who knew that when she finished kowtowing three times, the cow suddenly raised its neck and let out a "whoop", trembling violently, and then began to walk forward.
At that time, I was really confused, after all, the cow didn't move no matter how much we beat it before, and it didn't even say a word, like a statue.
But when Zhu Fangyu's niece kowtowed and called her godfather, it moved.
Later, Zhu Fangyu's father told me that it was because when passing by the cemetery, the cow was crushed by the lonely ghost riding on its body, and it couldn't move, so the child had to recognize the cow as a godfather.
Because the child's yang energy is heavy, the yang fire on the body is the most vigorous. Zhu Fangyu's niece recognized the cow as her godfather, which was actually a kind of complementarity, and gave some of the yang energy in her body to the old cow.
Those ghosts were frightened when they felt a strong yang energy on the cow, and quickly left the cow, and the cow returned to normal.
Until I finished telling this story, Sun Yi and Chen Jialuo were stunned for a long time, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
"By the way, you said that since Zhu Fangyu's sister gave some yang energy to that old cow, would that have any effect on her?" Chen Jialuo asked suddenly.
I thought about it for a while, as if there was an introduction in "The Twelve Brocades of the Heavenly Destiny Master", saying that if one of them dies first, then the soul of the one who dies will enter the body of the other party.
"In this case, then you say that Xiao Lu recognized the black cat as a godfather, after Xiao Lu dies, will her soul enter the black cat's body?" Sun Yi quickly interrupted me.
Belch......
A flash of lightning flashed through my head, and something came to mind.
The black cat's smile! A human-like smile.
If what is said in "The Twelve Brocades of the Heavenly Destiny Master" is true, doesn't it mean that Xiao Lu ...... She lives in the body of that black cat?
The black cat was smiling at me, but it was actually Xiao Lu who was laughing?
The thought of this makes my scalp tingle......
