According to Xiao Xuzi's advice, for so many years, I haven't told anyone about the things I did in the army, so I plan to live an ordinary life honestly. But it backfired, and an unexpected thing happened to me again.

In the year of retirement, I used the money in the cigarette box to open a stationery store next to the town middle school, married a daughter-in-law, and taught myself the craft of stonemasonry, carved tombstones for others to expand the inscription or something, and it has been ten years since spring went to winter, and I have become a relatively famous and relatively young old artist in the town.

Although the income is not high, the small life is quite abundant. In praise of my town and my life, I once wrote this poem:

I love my town.

I know every part of the town, every nook and cranny of the town.

I love my town.

Because when I open every door in the town, there will be smiling faces facing me.

I love my town.

I often share my experience with my classmates, and the rich women in the group are very envious of my free life.

In order to enliven the atmosphere in the group, I often send red envelopes to the group.

The rich women are very polite, after grabbing the red envelope, sending flowers to those who send flowers, thanking them, and some of them even asked, "Are you rich again?" ”

I said, "Yes! Everyone then gave a big thumbs up.

At this point, I would go on to say, "This is earned from a tombstone that was just carved." ”

When everyone heard it, "Oh, yes, next time, I won't rob you of your red envelope, I don't dare to ask for it, it's too scary!" ”

Alas! I have known for a long time that these rich women are like goldfish with big tails, and their memory can guarantee seven seconds, and they will let go of everything as long as they see the red envelope.

Sure enough, I guessed that as long as I sent the red envelope, they would forget the origin of the red envelope, and they would scramble to grab it.

So life flies so fast and so much fun.

But one day something happened.

I drank a few more cups that night, and fell asleep after handing out the red envelopes.

But the next morning, my waist could not be straightened, and I did not even dare to touch my feet on the ground.

This frightened my daughter-in-law Zhao Yue, "Is it cold, I didn't eat anything last night!" Let's close the board today, hurry up and go into the city to see the doctor!"

"If you have that time to talk, it's not early!" My body has always been hard, why can't I straighten up. I'm actually more anxious than my daughter-in-law.

Of course, my daughter-in-law listened to me and hurriedly pulled me to the passenger station on a tricycle, and we got on the first train and rushed to the provincial capital. Register for filming at the best hospital in the provincial capital, and run upstairs and downstairs. As a result, the big doctor turned upside down and looked at my film and said, "There's nothing wrong with you!" ”

I bared my teeth and said, "Impossible, doctor, what does this hurt, and say it's fine!" ”

The doctor pulled a face and said, "Young man, you have to believe in science!" ”

Okay, believe in science, now doctors open their mouths to be science, and their mouths are authoritative.

I had no choice but to let my daughter-in-law help me and rush to the second hospital. I registered to go downstairs to shoot a film again, and my daughter-in-law was so tired that she couldn't breathe. As a result, I looked at the doctor, and the doctor said: "Judging from the film, I really can't see any problems, whether you two go to see it in other ways, I can't say here!" I'll find someone, and you go to him. ”

The elderly doctor handed me a note, and when I looked at the name of the person written on it, I knew who this person was, and I had heard about it for a long time.

So I listened to the doctor's words and took a taxi with my daughter-in-law and returned the same way.

The car did not go home directly, but bypassed our town and walked left and right on a dirt road and entered Mr. Zhang's house in Zhangjiatun.

The old man's small courtyard is not big but very clean, and the branches of the two old pines and cypresses are luxuriant and meandering, which almost obscure the sky of the yard.

The old man's room was supposed to be affected by the pine trees, and the light was very dark. There was no frills in the room, and on the square table against the north wall, there hung a portrait of an ancient man, with pink candles burning and sandalwood wafting.

An old man with a white beard was sitting on a kang and was writing something.

After waiting for a long time to raise his head, the old man's eyes were extraordinarily bright: "The waist is not good, come and see the waist?" ”

My daughter-in-law hurriedly said, "Yes, uncle! ”

"We all looked at the big hospital in the city this morning, and we didn't say one, two, three, don't we ask you to take a look!"

The old man stroked his beard, looked at me, and nodded slightly.

"You, it's finally here, I've been waiting for you for years!"

My scalp is tight, and when I have a long time, could it be that he knows about what I did back then? No way.

I reluctantly propped myself up and said, "Old man, I am an ordinary farmer, and I have known your name for a long time, and I have never come to visit you. It just so happened that I didn't know what happened this morning, and my waist couldn't straighten up. ”

Unexpectedly, the old man just smiled, "That's right, if I didn't guess wrong, you would have carved the stele, and you carved the names of your ancestors by mistake last night, is there such a thing?" ”

Oh, it wasn't ten years ago, and I was relieved.

Then he said: "Yes, yes, yes, old gentleman, I will engrave the monument, but I can guarantee that the name cannot be engraved wrong!" ”

The old man smiled: "Young man, don't be so tough! You just have to go back and look at it, if the carving is wrong, hurry up and change it for someone to re-engrave one! ”

When the old man finished speaking, he closed his eyes slightly and stopped making a sound.

Seeing this, my daughter-in-law and I hurried home, and I was helped to the backyard and called my employer in front of the stone monument that had been carved.

The other party was a young man from the South, and the day before yesterday he and I ordered a tombstone.

He said that the tombstone at the front of the family cemetery had weathered and needed to be re-erected, and that it would be better for future generations to erect it a little higher. It's no wonder that I don't understand all of this.

So he rushed out overnight and waited for the other party to come and send it to the designated place to settle down at the appointed hour. There will never be a big problem on this monument.

At this time, the phone was connected, and after I communicated with the other party, I really fulfilled what the old man said, it was indeed I who carved the name of the ancestor wrongly, and "Liang Guiwen" was engraved as "Liang Huiwen". It turned out that the employer used to be from the north, but he had lived in the south for a long time and followed the local accent. But I was unexpectedly missing a check-in link.

My daughter-in-law was overjoyed when she heard this, and I was sweating when I heard it.

I began to admire this old man in my heart, what a god!

So if there is a mistake, I will quickly change it, I endured the back pain and carved the new tombstone in one breath, the tablet was carved, but the waist hurt more and more.

We hurried back to the old man.

By this time, the sun was setting. The old man is waiting for us under the pine tree, fanning his fan!

The old man smiled when he saw us entering the courtyard, first gave up a seat for my daughter-in-law, and then asked me to lie on the wicker chair and not move.

said, "Is it finished?" ”

The daughter-in-law said, "You are so godly, you have changed it!" Elderly! ”

I said, "Old man, I took it, I carved it wrong, and I changed it, but my back hurt so badly!" ”

The old man's feather fan waved and said, "Your waist, it's not good, you can only spend the rest of your life on the kang!" ”

"Spend your whole life on the kang?" My body shook and I couldn't say a word.

The daughter-in-law panicked now, and tears flowed down her eyes.

"Something else, old man, we are old and young, and everyone in the family is counting on him! Have mercy and save us! How much to spend, we know! As he spoke, he knelt in front of the old man and kowtowed again and again.

The old man was not moved by my daughter-in-law's tears, he said calmly: "Child, it's useless to cry, after all, you carved the wrong name of your ancestors, it's normal to punish you for your carelessness, it's good not to want your life!" ”

My daughter-in-law knelt down and bowed again, "Don't do this, old man, you must help us find a way!" Please, let's stand up! ”

"Alas! It's not impossible to get your head on your feet! ”

"You said, as long as we can make his waist good, we will do it all, just do it!" Usually at home, I make up my mind, I make a decision, I didn't think that a weak woman dared to make such a decision at this critical time, I was very surprised!

The old man looked at me and said, "Actually, the only way to get you to stand up is to punish you for helping me find something." ”

"What's it, where to find it, you hurry up!" The daughter-in-law had already gotten up at the old man's signal, and she was so anxious that she stomped her feet.

The old man said slowly: "This thing, there is no such thing now, I have to punish you to go to the country more than 2,000 years ago to find it." As long as you are willing to go, you will be able to stand up immediately, and your previous skills can be restored, whether you are willing or not! ”

When my daughter-in-law heard this, she glanced at the old man and then at me. "Boss, what are you capable of, I've been with you for so many years, why don't I know, are you willing or unwilling, this is a crossing!"

My daughter-in-law has watched a lot of time-traveling dramas, and he understands what cross-cutting is all about.

I know that the old man in front of me is by no means an idle person.

I had to say, "As long as it can make me stand up and live an ordinary life, I can do anything, and I don't care if my ability is restored." ”
