introduction
(a)
When my grandfather died, I was working in a foreign country, and when I heard the news, I cried and screamed, found a villager's truck, and rushed home all night.
Perhaps many people are like me, many times because life is forced to be unable to be with their families. For children in rural areas, if they don't go to school, they either go to the army or go out to work, but I took both, became a soldier, retired from the army, and continued to go out to work.
I have four brothers in my family, I am the oldest, because the first three are boys, so when my mother was pregnant with me, I wanted to be a girl, so I named it: Sifeng. Yes, a feminine name.
Later, I asked my mother, since she knew that she was a man, why did she give her a female name, at least she should have a "correct name" on her household registration.
My mother is not ambiguous, saying that when I was still in the belly, the family called you "Sifeng" on your stomach, and finally although it was born to disappoint everyone, but the name is used to it, and it has not changed, as for why the household registration is called "Sifeng", let your father drink less wine in the future.
Then my father was on the side, he smirked, "Sifeng is very good, easy to feed", this is 26 years.
When I returned home, I saw my grandfather's mourning hall, his old man was lying on a straw mat bed, covered with a layer of white cloth, and his body was still upright and upright, and I couldn't shed a single tear after crying all the way, just kneeling there stupidly.
I don't know if there is anyone who feels the same way as me, the first time I knelt in front of the corpse of a loved one, I couldn't cry, I want to say that there is almost no sadness. In the end, after kneeling for two hours, I was slapped several times by my aunt and grandmother, and then I burst into tears. (My aunt is my grandfather's sister, and when she beat me, she called me a "white-eyed wolf", but in the next ten years, I never dared to go to my grandfather's place again)
Grandpa had 4 sons and 2 daughters and 11 grandsons and 10 granddaughters.
The eldest daughter is in the northeast and said that she was not in good health and did not come. The second daughter came, but because of her belief in the "God" in her heart, she could not kneel to the dead, including her own father. The eldest son made a big fuss because he spent too much money on the funeral, the second son complained because of the uneven division of the land, the third son sulked because of the old man's last words, and the fourth son, my old man, cried a lot. Then there is the "numb" me and a few grandchildren.
Later, I learned that after my grandfather died, the first few aunts and uncles to fight for a division of my grandfather's property. (Because the ancestor was a landlord, although he was later defeated, a few decent things were handed down.) )
The room where the old man lived was not big, it was messy, and it felt like it had been ransacked, only some notes written by the old man before his death were left, and they were scattered in the corner. The wooden box that originally contained these notes was sold for 8,000 yuan by my uncle, and later I learned that it was from the Tang Dynasty, and he also had a quarrel with the person who bought his box, saying that in order to find the "relics" left by his father.
Later, I pondered it carefully, and felt that why these ethical people "hated" their father so much was entirely due to what my grandfather did during his lifetime. I summarize 2 points:
1: Grandpa is a martial artist, I remember clearly when I was a child that he forced the children of ten miles and eight villages to follow him to practice martial arts, and what he said every day was "fast", "accurate" and "ruthless", and these points happened to be the solid kung fu shown by several uncles and aunts fighting for property after his death.
"Fast" means to snatch property before other siblings. "Accurate" is to accurately grab the most valuable and precious things when there are many people, and "ruthless" is to play a ruthless and shameless role no matter who the opponent is. And the tiger father has no dog son, and they have all inherited the will of their grandfather very well! It is really a great fortune for our family!
2: As an old man in his prime, he likes to pull the men, women and children in the village every day when he is idle, saying that he has saved the world, how to become a superman, and defeated the gods and demons. I believe that anyone thinks that this old man is a little abnormal, not to mention that at that time, he still watched the Beidou God Fist with a few of us children every day, which really made the family members ashamed of this, so they took revenge for his death.
If it weren't for Grandpa's spiritual position there, I really think it was just a polite walk.
After collecting my emotions, I took all these notes written by my grandfather back home, said goodbye to the noisy funeral, and said goodbye to my dear grandfather, I inexplicably felt a lot more relaxed.
And I took my grandfather's notes with me for more than ten years, reading them over and over again, forgetting how many times I cried tired and fell asleep happily, and as his old man's own grandson, I thought I should do something.
Sifeng's writing is not good, and he hasn't been to school for a few years, and now he is just a manual laborer with a monthly income of thousands of yuan, but fortunately, Sifeng has a kind grandfather, and encourages himself to be thick-skinned all the time, and the big guy will just look at it.
No way, people always have to say something to deceive themselves in order to live well.

Si Feng used his spare time to sort out the notes written by his grandfather before his death, although he had heard his grandfather tell a lot of strange adventure stories since he was a child. (He said it was his own personal experience)
But I was still shocked after reading these fragmented notes, but for Si Feng was more excited, he felt that in their family, only he really understood the old man, in the words of "Bright Sword", that is, these two men can really pee into a pot.
In Sifeng's view, these things that his grandfather usually writes are more like a diary written in the trench after a soldier experienced a day of bullets and bullets in the war, so Sifeng put these, as well as the stories told by his grandfather, boldly strung together, and bragged about his family.
Sifeng's grandfather was called "Hu Dashan", who was frail and sickly when he was a child, so he was named: Dashan. Later, I learned Nanquan and Tai Chi with the master, and as the days went by, my body was much stronger, and my kung fu was also very good, and three or five ordinary people couldn't get close to me at all.
In addition, grandpa is a stubborn master, and a few good brothers, all day idle all day, either drinking and gambling, or going to fight with other villages, although he did not do anything bad about lack of morality, but his reputation in his hometown is not very good, people affectionately call him "Hu Daba", he does not go to his heart, they are all neighbors, and everyone smiles and greets him.
At that time, the grandfather should be about the same age as Sifeng now, twenty-six or seventeen years old, and the later story starts from this twenty-six or seventeen-year-old "big mix".
Of course, he also has a group of brothers. When Grandpa was alive, he told Sifeng that the brothers who fought together at the beginning had all passed away.
And the happiest time of his life was when he fought side by side with his brothers, and if he was no longer there, he hoped that his children and grandchildren could pass on these stories from generation to generation.
Si Feng remembered that his grandfather only smiled happily when he told these stories.
What kind of story would that be?
Or rather, what a legend?
