65 The traditions of the Lin family
It's been a long time since I've been in the house, and every time I come back, it's familiar and unfamiliar, and I'm a little nervous in my excitement. This time it was different, there was almost no excitement, almost all apprehension.
"God bless, let my mother not go out to play mahjong", I stood at the door and took a deep breath, secretly praying, as long as my mother is here, no matter how big the thing is, my dad will not dare to do anything to me.
"Hey, isn't this Lin Zhuo, just came back!" Aunt Wang, a neighbor, shouted.
"Oh, Aunt Wang, didn't my mother go to your house to play cards?" I hurriedly asked.
"I didn't come, maybe I was watching TV at home", Aunt Wang said, "This stupid boy, why are you standing outside when you come back, hurry up and go in!" ”
"Hey, okay, then I'll go back to Aunt Wang", I sneered, unscrewed the door lock, and walked into my yard.
My father, who was scraping the scales of the fish in the yard, saw me come in, threw the fish away, stood up and wiped his hands, and stared at me fiercely.
"Dad, I'm back," I said with a dry laugh.
"Hmph, come in with me!" He glared at me and turned to go inside. I pretended to be relaxed and followed him, but in fact I was uneasy. This can't be helped, my dad actually loves me very much, but he always looks like a strict father, and he uses sticks to educate me as a filial son, so when I see him, I instinctively feel a little nervous.
When he came to the living room, he sat down, and I put down the bag and snacks, "This is for you, Daoxiang Village, similar to Gui Shunzhai's, and I came back in a hurry, so I ......"
When he looked at the snack, his face softened a little, which once again proved the truth, gift-giving can shorten the distance between each other, even if it is a father who can no longer kiss.
I saw that his face changed, and I thought that this matter was easy to discuss, but I didn't expect his next words to completely give me a big reversal.
"Get on your knees!"
"Huh?" I was stunned, "What did you say?" ”
"Get on your knees!" He slapped the table, "Deaf?" ”
I quickly knelt down, "Dad, don't be angry, I was wrong!" ”
"Know it's wrong?" He stared at me.
"I don't know", I said helplessly, "Anyway, if you're angry, I'm wrong, no matter what the reason, I just admit my mistake." ”
He was silent for a long time, "Let me ask you, are you Mr. Yin and Yang anymore?" ”
"Nope!" I hurriedly said, but as soon as I saw his stern and cold eyes, I lowered my head again, "It's not Mr. Yin and Yang, it's a feng shui master......"
"Is there a difference?" He sneered, "I didn't let you touch this since I was a child, do you know why?" ”
"Because the feng shui master is the best is a middle and ninth-rate, it is better to take the career and have a career", I fluently recited the words he said countless times, "and when doing things, everyone has it, and if you don't handle it well, you can get yourself into trouble." When the heart is soft, it is easy to be calculated, and when the heart is hard, it is easy to offend people. Once people know that you understand this, you are destined to be lonely, no one can treat you as a friend anymore, in their eyes you are a gentleman, a person who does things, nothing dares to look for you, you can't refuse to find you when something happens, otherwise even decades of friendship will be in vain. To do this marriage is unstable, to cause chaos in the peach blossoms, not a blessed lady will not dare to follow you, don't believe me and your mother ......"
"Huh?" His eyes widened, "What did you say?" ”
"I'm sorry Dad, I memorized it too well and didn't keep my mouth shut", I quickly apologized.
He sighed, "Our Lin family has eaten this bowl of rice for generations, and only we can understand the suffering." Look at your grandfather, just because he was soft-hearted, in order to save people, he ...... himself Hey, I don't want to talk about it! ”
I said in my heart that you didn't mention it less, from childhood to adulthood, which time did you teach me you didn't mention it?
"I'm almost forty years old before I got you, and the old Lin family has been passed down to your generation, and there is only one seedling left in this thousand hectares. I don't want you to touch this, I want you to be a normal person, like other people's children, marry a daughter-in-law and have children, and live a plain life, that's what is comfortable. But it's good for you, stealing academic numbers, if you have to be this middle and ninth-rate, I don't understand, why can't you understand your father and me's hard work! He banged on the table and questioned me.
"Dad, where's my mom?" I asked.
"Don't interrupt!" He looked at me, "Knowing you're going to be back, I'll send her outside to play cards!" ”
"Oh, can I sit down and say, it's not worth keeping me on my knees all the time, is it?" I asked tentatively.
"Forget it, you get up", he glanced at me, "I ask you, you did the matter of Sun Wuzhou in Xianshuigu?" ”
"I just chose something for him, I didn't do anything else for him," I sat down and rubbed my breath.
"Hey, what else do you want to help him?" He was upset, "His problem is with the object, why don't I care about it, because his human nature is not good!" This man does business, and he does a lot of things to deceive and deceive, aren't you helping him to create evil? ”
"Dad, I don't know about his abduction, besides, he can't get the money himself, and he has been deceived by others when he earns it. Since I met it, and said that I had found my grandfather and you back then, I couldn't refuse, so I just said a few words casually, this is not a taboo, right......?"
"It is said that what you did is not wrong, and you can solve the evil spirit, and finally you have not disgraced the reputation of your ancestors", he suddenly changed his words, "But do you know how big the impact of this matter is?" Now everyone in the surrounding ten miles and eight villages knows that Lin Wuye's grandson understands this, and many people come to me again, if I push it, people will simply say, then let your son show me! ”
I couldn't help laughing, "Dad, are you unhappy because of this?" Don't worry, I'm not here in my hometown, so it doesn't matter. ”
"Joke!" He looked at me disdainfully, "I'm going to be angry with you about this?" You also underestimate your dad's strength! Others come to praise my son, this is a matter of light on the face, can I still care about this with you as a child? ”
"Then why did you tell me to get back, and said you were going to teach me a lesson...... "I don't understand.
He smiled bitterly and sighed, "Over the years, I have tried my best to stop it, but I haven't stopped it after all...... You tell me the truth, have you learned "Wushuang Spectrum"? ”
"Uh...... I learned a little bit", I said, "not much, just a little." ”
"Your grandfather is partial, I begged him for so many years and he didn't give it to me, but he secretly passed it on to you", he looked at me with envy and hatred, "Actually, I don't blame him, this is the tradition of our Lao Lin family, passed down once in two generations." At the beginning, my grandfather Chengye Gong also didn't learn Wushuang Spectrum, and your grandfather's grandfather Nianshan Gong also directly passed on the Wushuang Spectrum to his grandson. ”
"That's not tangled", I opened the snack box, took out a piece of dim sum and took a bite, "Don't worry, in the future, I will never pass it on to your grandson, only to my grandson." ”
He looked at me, "You're still young, you know something!" The origin of that peerless spectrum is not ordinary, very domineering, two generations and one generation, in order not to hurt the muscles and bones. My grandfather Nianshan Gong gave birth to six sons at the beginning, but in the next generation, only my grandfather Chengye Gong gave birth to your grandfather's son, and the other four brothers have no children and no daughters. Our Lin family has always been unprosperous, just because there is this unparalleled spectrum in the family. If you can't learn this kind of secret technique, it's unlucky to stay at home, do you understand? ”
"Understood, don't worry, I'll try to learn everything," I said, taking another piece of snack.
"I love that kind of butterfly crisp, leave me some", he continued, "but if you want to learn Wushuang Spectrum, you must first apprentice, you stinky boy doesn't know anything, so you dare to learn it secretly, are you tired of it?" If you don't apprentice, that's stealing from school, and the consequences are very serious, didn't your grandfather tell you? ”
I was stunned and slowly swallowed the snack in my mouth, "I really don't know about this." ”
"Hmph, I don't know anything, and I dare to make a name for myself everywhere!" He looked at me, "You know you're scared, right?" ”
"Then what should I do, Dad!"
He also picked up a piece of snack and tasted it, "Huh? I've been making this snack for days, how much did I buy it? ”
"More than two hundred!"
"You're rich!" He was taken aback, "More than 200 to buy this kind of snack?" You're a loser, will you live? Why don't you go to the pastry shop in town and buy me some, it's a ...... of the money."
"Okay, okay, I'll go there next time and buy it for you", I said, "Tell me about it, what should I do?" Why don't I go to my grandfather's grave to apprentice? ”
He glanced at me and put down his snacks, "Your grandfather has been dead for ten years, how can you worship him?" ”
"Then who am I going to worship?" I was helpless, "The secret skills of the Lin family are not passed on, so you can't let me go to worship someone with a foreign surname and let him teach me Wushuangpu, right?" ”
"That's naturally not possible," he said, "According to the tradition of our Lin family, you have to worship two masters, both of whom are named." I knew that you had to learn the unparalleled spectrum, so I found a master for you early, and you should go back and worship him. ”
"Who?"
"Don't ask, listen to me", he glared at me, "The two apprenticeships must be separated by at least three months, you bow down to my disciples this time, and after three months, he will naturally come to you." ”
"Wait!" I stood up, "I, worship you as a teacher?" Then will I call you Master or Dad in the future? ”
"Taoist master and apprentice are greater than father and son, what do you say you call me?" He slapped the table, "Sit down for me!" ”
I quickly sat down and said, "Okay, when will I say goodbye?" ”
He glanced at me, "Tonight, after the apprenticeship, I want to pass on some things to you, which were given to me by your grandfather." He said, "One day, I'll pass those things to you for him." ”
My heart heated, "It turned out that grandpa meant." ”
"This is the tradition of the Lin family!" He said, "Your grandfather also has two masters, one is my grandfather Cheng Ye Gong, and the other is the generation of the master of the Feng Shui Qiu family, Qiu Tianci Second Master Qiu. ”
"The Qiu family?" I was stunned, "Are you talking about the Qiu family of Qiu Fang Wailing in the south and north?" ”
"Yes, it's the Qiu family", my dad nodded, "Boy, the master I chose for you is also a member of the Qiu family, you want to mix in the feng shui circle, without such a feng shui giant, many things are inconvenient." We have been friends with the Qiu family for an old time, and this friendship depends on you to maintain it. ”
I was stunned for a long time and nodded, "I understand, by the way, Dad, does the apprenticeship have to be tonight?" ”
"Yes, it has to be today!" He said categorically.
"That'...... And what about after I finish praying? I asked, "Do you want to spend the night at home?" ”
"You have to live at home for at least half a month, I have to teach you things", he looked at me, "Anyway, you are quitting now, there is time." ”
"It's broken!" I quickly stood up, "Dad, I'm in a bit of a hurry to deal with, ask for a leave of absence first, and I'll be back before midnight!" ”
