Chapter 063: The Black Box in the Wall
With a worried heart, there was a knock on the door, and after a while, Grandma's voice came out: "Which one?" It's coming, it's coming. ”
As soon as the door opened, I saw my grandmother wearing an apron and holding a shovel for stir-frying, because I didn't inform the family in advance that I was coming back, my grandmother was stunned at first, and then scolded: "You turtle son, which one called you back?" I don't know how to make a phone call. ”
I grinned, hugged the gray-haired old man, and said, "Hehe, isn't this trying to surprise your old man?" ”
Grandma said, "There's a surprise." I'm thankful you don't bother me. Don't roll in yet. ”
I hurriedly grabbed my grandmother and said, "Don't you see another person?" ”
At this time, Sima Yan said: "Hello grandma. ”
Grandma was stunned again, and then said with a smile: "Yo! This girl is so beautiful. What kind of girl? ”
I cleared my throat, hugged Sima Yan a little deliberately, and said, "Grandma, this is your old granddaughter-in-law." ”
"Really?!"
Apparently pleased that I was able to bring my daughter-in-law home, my grandmother pinned the shovel to her waist and pulled us into the house.
"Maolin! Xiao Rong! Longwa is back with her daughter-in-law! ”
As I said before, "Dragon Baby" is my milk name, and my family has been called since I was a child.
The "Maolin" and "Xiaorong" in my grandmother's mouth are my parents.
Our family can be said to be four generations in the same house, although we do not live in a house, but it is a building, grandparents and great-grandfathers live on the first floor, after all, the old man is old, the floor is too high and inconvenient. My dad and mom live on the sixth floor, and they basically like to be on the first floor except for going to work and sleeping.
As soon as she entered the house, her grandmother asked Sima Yan, "What's your name?" ”
Sima Yan smiled and said, "Grandma, my name is Ding Xiaoyan. ”
"Oh, Xiaoyan. It's so nice. ”
Dad asked, "Xiaoyan, how old are you?" ”
Sima Yan smiled and said, "Uncle, I am 22 years old this year, one year younger than Yaoyang. ”
"Oh, the sun is a rat, you are a cow, what a match."
Mom asked, "What for?" ”
Sima Yan smiled and said, "Auntie, I teach at Tianfu City No. 7 Middle School, and I teach Chinese history. ”
As soon as they heard that they were teachers, their mothers and grandmothers smiled more and more, and praised them repeatedly: "Ouch, no wonder she is so knowledgeable, she is such a good girl." ”
I tugged at my dad and asked, "What about grandpa and great-grandfather?" ”
"Oh, a reporter came to our house yesterday to interview your great-grandfather. Then I was picked up by volunteers this morning, saying that I was going to shoot "Memoirs of Veterans of the 70th Anniversary of the Anti-Japanese War", and I guess I will come back later. After saying that, my father ignored me, turned his head and chatted with his daughter-in-law, and my mother and grandmother went to the kitchen, saying that they were going to make me and Sima Yan something delicious at noon today.
When I have nothing to do, I just walk around the house, observing the corners of the house, under the table and under the bed, probably because I learned some habits developed after learning about feng shui.
I said before that I looked at the feng shui of the cemetery. Let's talk about it here, look at the feng shui of the house.
Whether a house or a set of house feng shui is good or not does not mean that the house is not perfect, and then you can find someone who looks at feng shui to do some ornaments or adjust the furniture at home, which can only be called "second-class feng shui". Second-class Feng Shui, that is, making up for your original house, is similar to "prosthetics for the disabled".
Really good feng shui, is the "dragon point", it is best to find the right location before buying a house, and then buy, there are many business owners in the construction of office buildings, will find a feng shui master in advance to choose the land, there are too many to say, I give the simplest examples:
Observe whether a house is good or not, first of all, to see whether the surrounding flowers and plants are thriving, and how active the small animal life is around, if you find that there are a lot of small insects and ants in the surrounding bushes, it is a good thing, which represents life, and there are no animals in the dead land.
In other words, with the subjective consciousness at first sight, people suddenly feel happy as soon as they enter the house, and they are in a bad mood, but as soon as they enter the house, they feel very comfortable, and their mood becomes better.
This is really good Feng Shui.
To get back to the point, just as I walked into my grandfather's room, all of a sudden, my left gum hurt like a pinprick.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the first reaction is inflammation of the gums. But in the Daomen, it is very particular:
A cultivator can perceive some energy through his eyes or body, the so-called energy, that is, ghosts and spirits or yin qi or evil qi. Many people come into contact with spirits inadvertently, and spirits are a bad energy, like people who often go to the hospital are prone to get sick, because there are a lot of unclean energy in the hospital.
Of course, energy is also divided into good and bad, as well as good and evil.
And I have a toothache right now, and it's clear that there is some kind of energy in Grandpa's room.
I moved a cabinet away and put my hand on the wall, feeling the hidden energy with my heart.
"There's something in the wall."
Sima Yan didn't know when she had come behind me, and scared me so much that I almost sat on the ground, she said: "There is a natal connection between you and me, you can feel it, and I can too." ”
"Do you know what's inside?" I asked Sima Yan.
Sima Yan shook his head and said, "I don't know. However, I can feel that the thing inside seems to be very yin, but it is harmless to the human body. ”
Click!
As he was talking, Sima Yan's hand was so strong that all five fingers sank into the wall, and with a "chirp", he pulled out the red brick stiffly!
As soon as I put my hand in, I touched a hard erection, and when I took it out, I saw that it was a black wooden box, the box was only the size of a palm, but the workmanship was quite fine, and the carvings of the green dragon, the white tiger, the red bird, and the basalt were vivid. Apparently the grandfather deliberately hid in the wall, not wanting to be discovered by the family.
"Yo, you're back?"
That's when my grandmother walked in, and luckily I was quick to cover the hole with a cupboard. Grandma looked at me and Sima Yan with a smile and said, "Longwa, your grandfather and great-grandfather are back." Quickly take Xiaoyan out to eat. ”
"Okay, right away."
I answered, quietly put the wooden box in my pocket, and then walked out with Sima Yan.
Maybe it's because I know my grandfather's little-known deeds, and I look at my grandfather differently now, but I know very well that I can't talk about those things at home, I have to find an opportunity to tell him in private.
As I expected, my grandfather was really stunned when he saw Sima Yan, and his eyes were as if he had seen an old man.
To be honest, I was quite panicked at the time, for fear that my grandfather would shout "Demon, watch and fight!" Then he pulled out a gossip mirror.
Sima Yan smiled and introduced herself: "Hello grandpa, my name is Ding Xiaoyan. ”
Grandpa came back to his senses at this time, but his eyes were still staring at Sima Yan: "It's really like." ”
"What does it look like?"
Grandma was unhappy at this time, obviously it was her grandfather's abnormal reaction that made her feel a little embarrassed in front of her granddaughter-in-law, so she said, "Carpenter Chen, I think you are old and confused, right?" ”
"Oh, I recognized the wrong person."
Grandpa sighed and said to Sima Yan and me, "Girl, you look a lot like a noble man I met when I was young. Alas, the past is not mentioned, come and come, sit and eat. Yaoyang, pour wine for your great-ancestors. ”
"Okay."
My great-grandfather, Chen Hongyuan, is 101 years old this year, and he joined the army twice during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. The first time I joined the army was in 1939, introduced by my fellow villagers, and was assigned to the 122nd Division of the 41st Army of the Sichuan Army as a nurse for a year and then went home. The second time he served as a soldier was in the winter of 1944, because the second brother was arrested and Zhuangding, he took the initiative to replace the second brother, and was incorporated into the 2nd Battalion, 4th Battalion, 4th Company, 1st Platoon of the 2nd Regiment of the Honorary Division of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in Yunnan, and successively served as the secretary and wireless operator. In 1945, the troops entered Vietnam to cooperate with friendly counter-attacks on the Japanese army, and fought with the Japanese army in Lao Cai, Vietnam, after the surrender of Japan, they were stationed in Vietnam with the troops for a year, and were organized as the 67th Division of Haiphong to occupy the Japanese occupation army, and in 1946, the troops returned to Shanghai and Wuxi to receive the Japanese-occupied areas.
Although the old man is over 100 years old, he has always been in good health, in addition to liking to read, he usually likes to go shopping alone, and his family can't persuade him. Although the old man is now hunched over and his face is full of wrinkles, in my mind he is a hero of the Chinese nation, and I am extremely proud to be a descendant of the heroes of the anti-Japanese resistance.
Because my great-grandfather's ears were bad, I almost shouted when I introduced Sima Yan: "This is my daughter-in-law!" Her name is Ding Xiaoyan! Be a teacher! ”
My great-grandfather said, "Oh, you're a professor." Ding Xiao what? ”
I shouted again: "Ding Xiaoyan!! ”
"Huh? Ding what swallow? ”
"Ding Xiaoyan !!"
"What Xiaoyan?"
"It's okay, old man, let's eat."
"Oh, good."
I have to say that my grandmother and mother's cooking skills are still so good, because I was at home, I barely hid my hungry wolf-like appearance, and I saw Sima Yan covering her mouth and snickering.
"Xiaoyan, why don't you eat it?" It was Mom who spoke.
I just realized that the ghost can't eat the food of the yang world at all, unless he uses something heavy in yin qi, such as willow leaves, how can he forget this stubble.
At this time, my grandmother also asked, "Isn't it unappetizing?" ”
"Because...... This...... That ......"
I'm really in a hurry. Let's talk about losing weight, the old lady will definitely think that Sima Yan dislikes her craftsmanship, but it is impossible to say that she can't eat with sores in her mouth, right?
At this time, a voice broke the deadlock: "Xiaoyan, you're not from the south, are you?" Are you not used to eating spicy? "It's Grandpa who speaks.
I hurriedly answered: "Yes, yes, Xiaoyan is from Jiangmen, Guangdong, and they are used to eating spicy food there...... Use...... Wrap it in willow leaves and eat it. ”
The whole family was stunned, saying that it was the first time they had heard of this way of eating.
Grandpa coughed lightly and asked Sima Yan: "Xiaoyan, you teach history in Tianfu No. 7 Middle School, do you know Teacher Kang?" ”
Sima Yan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Oh, I know." Mr. Kang can take care of us young people. ”
Grandpa asked again, "Then did he receive what I sent?" ”
Don't talk about Sima Yan, I was also stunned for a moment, and I asked, "What is it?" ”
"A basket of salted duck eggs, five catties of bacon!"
Sima Yan smiled and said, "Oh, I got it." Mr. Kang also gave us something to eat. ”
"Oh, hehe, that's good."
Grandpa suddenly stood up and said, "Let's eat slowly." Then he beckoned at me and motioned for me to come into the back room with him.
I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't say it.
