Chapter 100: A Relationship That Has Been Sealed for Decades
Uncle Guan cried for a long time, probably because he was tired of crying, Song Qi hurriedly handed over a tissue, Uncle Guan wiped the tears on his face tremblingly, and his blood-red and cloudy old eyes were full of vicissitudes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
I thought that Guan Yun had told us everything, but I didn't expect that there would be a sad past.
Uncle Guan is called Guan Mingzu, three years older than Guan Yun, although they are all surnames, but they do not have any blood relationship, the relationship between the two people has been very good since childhood, and they should be regarded as childhood sweethearts.
At that time, Guan Mingzu's grandmother was one of the several old people in the village, and she was very influential, although Guan Yun's father was blind, but the only barefoot doctor in the village, and he was very respected by the villagers, so he was also a good match, and the two adults also acquiesced in the relationship between the two children, and only waited until they became adults to set a table for them to do happy events.
But no one expected that Guan Yun's happiness would be ruined by a Taoist priest who was rescued by himself, not only was his family ruined, but he also had to leave his hometown and leave his lover.
And the old man who let go of Guan Yun is Guan Mingzu's grandmother, Guan Old Lady.
was really right, Uncle Guan and Guan Yun are really a pair of hard-working old mandarin ducks. Songqi on the side looked at me proudly, his face full of disdain and arrogance.
Ignore Song Qi for a while, just talking about this past, I can't help but feel a little sympathy for Guan Yunsheng, why is her life so bitter, is it really the sin she did in her previous life, the cycle of cause and effect, besides this, I can't think of any reason.
Uncle Guan walked up to us tremblingly, grabbed my hand with a sincere face and said, "Child, I thank you, my old man thank you, you didn't let her go down the wrong path, I thank you!"
"Oops... I said, uncle, it's not all his help, and me!"
"Well, thank you both, the uncle's family has nothing to repay you, this old hen was raised by my little grandson when he was alive, even if it is a part of the uncle's family!"
"No, this thing is one yard to one yard, I said when I caught the chicken just now, I can't eat it for nothing, a hundred yuan, the material cost plus the manual fee is at most, take it!"
After speaking, Lao Yu took out a hundred Grandpa Mao and slapped it in Uncle Guan's hand, of course Uncle Guan would not accept the money, we saved his old lover, of course, we were grateful, according to his thinking, accepting this money is ungrateful, and the ancestors will not forgive themselves after death, so they resolutely do not accept it.
The two of them were each there, and neither of them would give up.
Song Qi sighed impatiently, snatched it and said, "Hu gives you no favor, Uncle Guan is not solid after receiving this money, you can't see it, what else do you want, are you sick?"
Lao Yu pouted and looked at Song Qi, then looked at Uncle Guan, blinked his small eyes and said, "Okay, put this aside in advance, I'm sending Diao Sankou... Belch... When sending Guan Yun on the road, I had already promised her that I would avenge him and clean up the dog Taoist priest named Bacheng, don't worry. ”
"Yes, Uncle Guan, is that eighty percent Taoist priest still alive now, and what happened after Guan Yun left?"
When Uncle Guan saw me ask him, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes, he sighed deeply and sat back on the stool, lit a bag of dry tobacco after being silent for a while, and talked about what happened after Guan Yun left.
After discovering that she had escaped, the eighty percent Taoist priest mobilized everyone to start searching, and in the end he had to give up, but he said that the disaster star had taken away the blessings in the village, and there would be dead people in the village within a month, and the only way was to pick out the boys and girls in the village to sacrifice to the genius, otherwise there would be continuous disasters.
Such a method of exterminating humanity, of course, will not get the consent of several old people, and the eighty percent Taoist priest saw that everyone did not agree with his idea, and left after scolding a few words.
But what I didn't expect was that a few days later, there was a disaster in the village, and several people died for no reason.
The eighty percent Taoist priest did not get angry abnormally, but took out a burden in the house, saying that the number of days was like this, and he could only leave and would not stay in the village again.
The village chief saw that the savior was leaving, how could he not panic, so he said that he had pulled the eighty percent Taoist priest back, and several old people were also begging each other, and finally the eighty percent Taoist priest reluctantly said a way to save him, that is, to put a coffin at the gate of his house, and then bury the dead relatives in it, and pray incense in the morning and evening.
"What? Is there a dead person in the coffin?"
"Is there really someone in the coffin?"
"It's... This... This is too nonsense, how can there be dead people in coffins!"
"Hi... My old man is over fifty years old, how can he take this as a joke, the elders in the village are also hesitating, how can the ancestors die without being buried in the ground, but for the sake of today, they can only follow the advice of the eighty percent Taoist priests, and put the dozen or so villagers who just died in the village in coffins and put them at the gate of their homes. Strange to say, the village actually stopped shortly after the incident, but since then, the people in the village have begun to weaken, and people have died every so long, especially children. In the past, there were more than 300 households in the village, but now there are less than 150 households, and most of them are elderly. ”
"I've never heard Master say that this method is used to drive away evil spirits and avoid evil, which... That's pretty scary, isn't it? ”
"Yes, after the death of the family can not go into the soil for peace, will not disperse the resentment, at the gate of their own house like a watchdog exposed to the wind and sun, looking at the door of the house is not allowed to enter, the resentment must be getting heavier and heavier, and then every day to go to the incense to provoke them, can this village still be good? After the death of the family members do not enter the earth for peace, put at the gate of their own house to watch the door? Isn't this their own guilt, stirring up the restlessness of the family is the lightest punishment, if I want to say that the people in the village can live until now, it is already a miracle. ”
After listening to my words with Songqi, Uncle Guan sighed helplessly, took a few puffs of cigarette pouch and said: "No way, the village chief is obedient to his words, although I also know that this has nothing to do with him, but I have no choice but to be alone, and I have suffered a big loss after a few troubles, and finally the demon told my grandmother that if I mention Guan Yun again, it will make our family die well." Helpless, for the sake of my family, I can only swallow this bad breath. The village is not rich in the first place, it is all in the soil to eat, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, but every day to burn incense, the days are long and they are all hurting, some even eat the last meal and have to worry about the next meal, the young man just now is just borrowed a pot of cornmeal from my family, for the family more than a year old child to boil and eat. ”
"Lying down, it's so rampant, so did your grandson die like this?" asked Lao Yu as he looked at the black and miserable coffins outside.
"Hi... Eight years ago, there were a few strangers in the village, and they also got lost and broke into the village by mistake, and my little grandson was putting chickens outside, which is the one you just ate..."
No wonder Uncle Guan will have that kind of expression after seeing the hen in Lao Zhi's hand, we just ate Uncle Guan's only thought of his grandson, and I felt very guilty at this time, I blamed Lao Zhi, nothing to catch any chicken, Songqi should have the same feeling, his eyes wandered and lowered his head, and then looked at Lao Zhi, who was picking his teeth with a match stalk, and really wanted to go up and send him two ear stickers.
But I have eaten everything, and I can't get it back, so I can only wait for Uncle Guan to continue to talk about the next thing.
The little grandson saw a child of the same age wearing a pair of shoes with a hook, so he asked people what his name was, and since then he has been thinking about it every day, saying that he wants to grow up quickly, make more money, and when he has money, he will buy a pair of shoes with a hook for his grandparents to wear. The child's parents went early, and my wife and I didn't have any skills, so we couldn't even buy shoes for the children..."
Speaking of this, Uncle Guan couldn't cry anymore, rubbed his calloused hands on his face, and then said after wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes again: "My wife and I discussed selling a few old hens that laid eggs, and waited until the little grandson's birthday, went to the outside of the mountain to exchange money, and bought a pair of shoes with hooks for the little grandson to wear." But it takes two or three days to enter and exit this mountain. In those days, I was suffering from rheumatism, and I couldn't even walk, so I had to let my wife take my little grandson out to buy shoes. But this is a week, and there is no news. When I took the villagers to look for it, I found... I found that the old woman and the little grandson were hanged from the old locust tree in the mountain..."
When the words came to the sad place, when people were parting, Uncle Guan finally couldn't hold on anymore, covered his wrinkled face with both hands, and cried loudly.
"It's like... I look like I've seen that kid and the old lady!"
