Chapter 22: Fate
"Trouble the big guy to help find it again, old man, I'll kneel down for everyone here." Carpenter Fan's father was about to kneel when he bowed down, and he quickly pulled him up.
"Old man, it's okay, it's all from the villagers, you go back and wait, this is what we should share."
They are all from one village, and everyone helps when the family has something, and everyone persuaded Mr. Fan a few words, and they went in groups of three or five to help find the children in different directions.
Almost half of the village went to help, and I was embarrassed to watch the excitement here again, and I was even more embarrassed to sneak back to the broken temple, so I thought about following the big guy to find it, and I could do my part.
I was about to leave the village, when I suddenly heard someone behind me shouting to me: "Changsheng, Changsheng, why are you going?" ”
I looked back and saw that it was a bull maniac, pushing his 28 bar and standing side by side with an old man in sunglasses.
I answered, took three steps and two steps, ran to them, and told them what I had just seen.
The cow madman reached out and patted me on the back of the head and said, "What are you doing with it, it's all over here, and you won't go back to cooking." ”
Then he turned his head to the old man wearing sunglasses and said, "It's just right, Cheng Blind, you pinch and calculate, see what are going on with these two children." ”
Then he changed his mind: "Forget it, you better don't forget it, your fortune telling has never been accurate." ”
"Okay, you bull madman, you actually look down on the old man, am I not sure? I'm too lazy to calculate, don't you understand the truth that the heavenly machine can't be revealed? ”
The blind man Cheng was not angry, but just replied to him in a joking tone.
"Changsheng, you ride my car back to cook, Cheng Blind and I go to buy something, remember to burn the wine that Lu Jinguo took."
With that, he pushed his big dilapidated golden deer to me.
Hehe, what's wrong with this one, he, the owner who would rather borrow his daughter-in-law than borrow a car, why is he suddenly so generous today? You don't know, usually when I move his car, he can feel distressed for days.
Not to mention, this bike is faster than walking, although this broken bike rings everywhere except the bell does not ring.
As soon as a pot of water was boiled and the rice was put in the pot, the cow madman and the blind man pushed open the door of the broken temple with a bag of things.
Also following was Carpenter Fan's father, Old Man Fan.
As soon as he sat down, Old Man Fan opened his mouth anxiously: "Old Niu, look ......"
The cow madman waved his hand again and again, and said sourly: "Don't look for me about this, you know that I have always been confused about things like eight-character numerology, and it just so happens that there is a Cheng Tiezui, so you can ask him if you have something." ”
At the end, another sentence came: "This life is childless, even if you force it, it will be in vain......"
He had a long end note, and he didn't know what it meant.
When Old Man Fan heard this, his old face turned red, and he turned his head to Cheng Blind and said, "Then please ask Mr. to pinch and calculate." ”
This blind man is also a master who can't speak very much, and he choked Old Man Fan half to death when he opened his mouth: "You don't need to look for it, it's a death to find it back." ”
"Smack!"
Without waiting for Old Man Fan to get angry, the bull madman slapped Cheng Blind on the head, knocked off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of eyes with only the whites of his eyes and no pupils, and shouted at him: "You talk like that? Won't say don't say. ”
Cheng Blind was not annoyed at all, and slowly straightened his sunglasses: "How can there be so many nice New Year's greetings?" Not to mention pulling down, I'm still afraid of losing my life! ”
When Old Man Fan heard this, his lips trembled for a while, and two lines of cloudy old tears rolled down the corners of his eyes, but he was still a little unwilling, and asked again: "Dare to ask Mr. Is there a way to crack it?" ”
"Then please ask the old gentleman to tell Ling Lang and his daughter-in-law about their birthdays."
Old Man Fan casually said a string of numbers.
Cheng Blind pinched his fingers, and his brows twisted into a Sichuan character.
After a pause, he took out a turquoise turtle shell from his clothes pocket, stuffed six copper plates, shook it vigorously, and then sprinkled the copper plates on the ground, trembling his hands groped to pick them up one by one, pinched them hard, pondered for a while, and said: "Ling Lang was destined to have a daughter, but he was not satisfied, he didn't want a son, and he gave birth to six in a row to 'see the flowers', this time I am afraid that I will end up with no children and no daughters." ”
"See the flowers?"
It's not just that I don't understand, but even Old Man Fan is confused.
Cheng Blind cleared his throat and explained: "This 'Seeing Flowers' is also known as 'Bao Hua'. Some parents give birth to their first child, and then give birth to a second child within four years, and the first child will die. Three children will be born within four years, and the second child will die, no matter how many children are born, as long as the previous child is born before the age of four, the previous child will die. ”
"How can this be?" Old Man Fan obviously didn't believe his rhetoric, but judging from the excitement on his face, the words of the blind man were undoubtedly fulfilled.
"This ...... This is too mysterious, isn't it, one is born and one is dead, what is the reason for? ”
Cheng Blind turned his head to my side, nodded slightly, stroked his goatee, and said: "There is a soul who has come to his family, and because he has only one daughter in his life, so every time he gives birth to a child, the one in front will die, and then the soul will enter the newborn body and continue to be his child." ”
"This soul has to be his child?" I was even more confused.
"Children are debts, and they don't come to collect debts and repay debts, so since the children don't leave, they must have been involved with his family in their previous lives." The blind man knew everything, and after speaking, he said to Old Man Fan, "Old man, I don't know if what I said is right?" ”
Where did Old Man Fan still have the heart to listen at this time, he stood up tremblingly, and was about to leave.
"Old gentleman, listen to my blind man's advice, don't think that there are some things that the gods don't know, there is a way to raise your head three feet and there are gods......"
Old Man Fan let out a long sigh when he heard this, and walked away slowly.
"What if the first child is over four years old? Isn't it going to die? "I'm chasing after it.
Cheng Blind nodded again: "If the child in front of him is over four years old, he will not be able to support the reborn, in short, there can only be one child in the family." ”
"Why four?"
"Before the age of four, children have clear eyes, the fontanelle is not closed, and they can see many evil ghosts and sneaks that adults can't see, and their bodies have not grown into instruments, their souls are unstable, and they will run away from their bodies under certain conditions. This is also the reason why children are prone to losing their souls. ”
I nodded as if I didn't understand, and suddenly thought of one more thing: "It's not right, according to what you say, this Fan carpenter's family can only have one child, so how did the pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses in his family come from?" ”
"What's so hard about this......
"Eat, eat, wait for me to leave, you two study hard, I don't want to hear about these things."
Cheng Blind was about to continue, but was brutally interrupted by the bull madman.
