Chapter 4: Why is your face still numb?
I pinched my fingers like him, wondering why the child didn't make a fuss after pinching.
Grandpa Cai said that he was pinching evil spirits, and he had to have the help of the old fairy to pinch it away.
There was even a time before the Chinese New Year, when my father asked me to send a pot of fresh silkworm chrysalis to Grandpa Cai's house.
This is a local delicacy in our area, and it is an indispensable delicacy on the dinner table of every household during the New Year.
When I sent it, I saw that the silkworm chrysalis in the pot were still moving with their dark little heads, so I told Grandpa Cai not to eat them first, and to eat them in two days.
Grandpa Cai nodded and instructed Aunt Cai to bring the pot of silkworm chrysalis to the back room, and he left me in the back room to memorize ancient poems for a while.
When I was leaving, Aunt Cai wanted to grab some candy for me and take it home, but when she went to the back room, she shouted that the silkworm chrysalis was gone.
I ran over to take a look, and I said that there were silkworm chrysalis, and even the basin I brought was gone.
It was winter, and the windows in the countryside were covered with plastic sheets, and no one jumped in to steal the silkworm chrysalis.
So the pot of silkworm chrysalis disappeared out of thin air right under our noses.
It just so happened that the back room of his house was enshrined with the tablet of Grandma Bai Xian.
Grandpa Cai asked about Shangxiang, turned around and told me that it was okay, it was the old fairy who moved away.
I asked Grandpa Cai where he had moved to?
Grandpa Cai said that it was released.
Where did you put it?
No one knows.
This is still a mystery in my mind.
In those years, I watched a lot, and naturally there were many questions, and I couldn't understand what Grandpa Cai explained sometimes.
But I rarely ask questions.
The experience of eating 100 family meals when I was a child taught me not to talk less and not to be annoyed.
When I get along with my elders, most of the time I listen to what they say.
The excitement is also secretly watched, and after watching it, I squatted in the courtyard of Grandpa Cai's house to play with long and short straw sticks.
"Yingying, you're putting a hexagram here."
When Grandpa Cai came back from sending the victim away, he was surprised at my straw stick, "The sixth day of the first month, the ninety-two, the sixty-third, the sixth, the sixth, the ninety-five, the sixth ......."
He frowned, "The hexagram is dangerous, the two hexagrams are heavy, the dangers are heavy, there are many obstacles, a bright moon shines in the water, only to see the shadow disappearing, the fool should go down to get the money, touch it and touch it for nothing, this hexagram is you made yourself?" ”
"I learned from the books you read."
I saw that he looked serious and nervous, "There are a lot of such pictures in the book, Aunt Cai said what is it called, I will put one blindly, Grandpa Cai, if you are not happy, I will not play in the future." ”
Grandpa Cai shook his head, just about to speak, a gust of wind blew away the straw stick, I subconsciously protected it, after the straw stick was still messed up, I had to put a kind of look similar again, Grandpa Cai smiled when he saw this, "It's changed, ninety-two changes the hexagram, the water and the land are compared, even if there is danger in the camp, it's not a big problem, the boat is scattered with the wind, and the sky helps a wind, don't bother to go, and go to the tycoon at will." ”
Seeing that I was inexplicable, Grandpa Cai touched my head, "Yingying, people are not afraid of setbacks, you are the material for eating this line of food, if it weren't for my daughter who has been taught by the immortals, I really want to pass on the hall to you, the Bodhisattva will come again, you have great goodness in your heart, why can't you make great achievements after stepping on the road." ”
I don't understand what it does.
The point of interest is instead the number in Grandpa Cai's mouth.
What does the first six and nine two mean?
Grandpa Cai patiently taught me, that is counting hexagrams.
Each hexagram is six, the long one is yang, read nine, and the short one that is broken is yin, read six.
Counting from the bottom to the top, the bottom is the first line, the yang line reads the ninth day, and the yin line reads the sixth day.
Then ninety-two or sixty-two goes up according to the number of yang and yin.
The sixth line at the top is called Shang, the Yang line is the upper nine, and the Yin line is the upper six, and each line has its own words.
As I grew up, I not only learned this knowledge, but also understood the meaning of coming again.
There is a saying in Buddhism that it is called driving Cihang upside down, and coming again with a wish.
It means that the bodhisattva who has become a Buddha has returned to the human world to practice and influence sentient beings.
Naturally, I don't have that realm.
The real re-entitlement is something that no one can know.
Nor will it be known.
Grandpa Cai later said that he thought that the people who came again might be doing all kinds of things, with various personalities, and they were everywhere in the market, even if they were suffering, they also had compassion and showed themselves to the Bodhisattva.
It was put on me because my mother had a magical fetal dream when she was pregnant with me, and Grandpa Cai gave my mother this statement.
In addition to begging for lip service, the main reason is that my father is eager to ask for his son, and Grandpa Cai wants my father to accept me more.
To put it bluntly, my identity as a second person is not so much Grandpa Cai's expectation for me.
He also specially told my parents not to publicize this matter in the village, and time will verify what kind of blessing I will bring to the Wanjia.
If it is spread out, there will be many mouths, and it will be chaotic when it is passed on, and the people in the village should not think that I am the reincarnation of some god and Buddha, and then come to me to offer incense and worship, it will not only make jokes, but also affect our family's own blessings.
This is not nonsense, our Fengqing Village has always been outstanding, in addition to the Cai family, which has a Tangkou inheritance, there was once a female Taoist.
She is not only Grandpa Cai's childhood friend, but also a truly gifted person.
I heard that she had supernatural powers at the age of five or six, and she could tell people's longevity and fortune at a glance.
At that time, the people in the village worshiped her as a goddess and a living bodhisattva, and burned incense and bowed to her, but her family suffered misfortune one after another.
In the end, she left the village alone and has not been heard from since.
With her car in front, my posterior is well protected.
In the past thirteen years, I have grown up without waves.
However, apart from being curious and studious about yin and yang, and knowing some written knowledge, I really don't see any other special abilities I have.
Compared to the female Taoist who left a legendary experience in the village, I am not worth mentioning.
"Ah—!!h
The wolf's howl pulled back to my thoughts.
Raising his eyes, he had already arrived around Grandpa Li's house, and the villagers of Wuyang wrapped the three layers of Li's house on the outer three floors, and the liveliness was comparable to that of a large gathering.
"Oh my God, it's called!"
Hearing the screams, everyone in the village grinned, "Is it dry inside?!! ”
"Let's go!"
Dad pushed the crowd through the crowd and led me towards the gate, "Get out of the way!" ”
The more I walked, the more uncomfortable I became, "Dad, my face is numb." ”
"What?"
Dad was puzzled, "Why is your face still numb?" ”
"Hey, Changlin, don't squeeze forward!"
Grandpa Cui next to him responded, "You are also numb when you are in front!" ”
