It was already six o'clock in the afternoon when we returned to the county seat. We went directly to Ma Haibo's house. Xiao Li left after reporting to his leader, while Zamao Xiaodao and I stayed at Ma Haibo's house to have dinner. We chatted and talked about what happened today.
Ma Haibo was worried about those bad things, but in our opinion, it was not a big deal. The relevant departments had already intervened anyway.
When I was washing my hands before eating, I looked at the vague blue skull on my hand, and found that ever since I was grabbed by the bloody hand that stretched out from the pit, I felt a burning pain, which was very uncomfortable.
After Ma Haibo was promoted, he became more and more stressed and had more social activities. Today he specifically declined the banquet and waited for our arrival. When his wife talked about this, she was very dissatisfied. She smiled and said that after Ma Haibo was promoted, his salary was not enough.
Seeing how much fat he had, his belly was quite bulging, which made people think how corrupt he was.
We all laughed. The furnishings in Ma Haibo's home are a bit old, and the furniture is all old styles from more than ten years ago. Compared with others, he can be regarded as a more self-reliant and responsible leader. This is commendable and is what I have been waiting for.
The reason why he is a friend.
After all, there are really not many people like this.
We stayed at Ma Haibo's house until about eight o'clock, and then we said goodbye and left.
In the next few days, Zamao Xiaodao went to the prison to help people perform rituals, chanted sutras to kill the resentment in the cell, and made some arrangements. I don’t know how much money he got. But this is what he deserves. I
I didn't care about it. Even Lao Jiang found me on the third day and gave me the reward for this matter - Doudou's parents did not come forward. I don't know whether it was because they were ashamed or too embarrassed to see me.
Because it has no use value anymore.
But it doesn’t matter to me: I took this job because of my friendship with Lao Jiang, and other people’s opinions cannot affect me in the slightest.
A few more days passed like this, and I took care of the three auspicious treasures at home at night, and during the day I wandered around the county with nothing to do - Feishan Temple, Grand Pavilion, Shili Long Beach, Longli Ancient City... Enjoying the simple happiness of this leisure time, some
Sometimes I would watch other people play chess at Fengyuqiao, squatting there all afternoon, and I would also go find some classmates to play. However, since graduation, we have been far apart and cannot get together.
My classmates in the county were also busy, and each had their own affairs. They had no time to spend with me, an idler. We got together a few times, just eating, drinking and singing karaoke, but it wasn’t very interesting, so we stopped.
One night, Duoduo sneaked out while I was sleeping. When she came back, her eyes were red from crying, and she didn't answer any questions she asked.
I thought for a while, could it be that I was homesick and went back to my biological parents to take a look?
It's just that she refused to say anything, so I couldn't force her to ask. I touched her head and comforted her a lot, and then her mood improved and she showed a cute smile. I felt a little sad, this little girl,
I finally started to be thoughtful, no longer like a piece of crystal clear crystal, and I didn’t know how to tell everything to me.
This is a good thing, it means that the little girl has grown up, but I feel sour in my heart for no reason, as if I have lost something.
This...maybe this is a trouble that every parent needs to face, right?
My partner in Hongshan, A Dong, stayed in his hometown for a while. After all, he couldn't worry about the restaurant, so he came to the county to say goodbye to me and was ready to leave Jinping. I borrowed a car and took him to the airport in Liping.
When I passed through Dadunzi Town on my return, I urged my parents to move and live in the county. My mother refused. She couldn't bear to part with the small town where she had lived for most of her life, the familiar neighbors, the old houses, the green mountains and green waters, and the
Every March, brilliant rapeseed flowers bloom all over the Bazi.
That was the life she was familiar with. This was the scene in her dreams. How could she be willing to leave?
I had no choice but to find someone to change some furniture and add some decorations at home to make my parents' life more comfortable.
There were a lot of chores during this period, so I won’t go into details one by one. Although the ordinary days can be seen in articles, they don’t draw much interest in reading, but the ultimate goal of all our hard work and struggle is just to enjoy peace and quiet.
This is just a carefree life. After Zamao Xiaodao helped the county prison to relieve his resentment, he set up a stall at Fengyu Qiaotou for a few days. Because he was close to several schools, there were always many students and girls looking for marriage opportunities with him.
What’s rare is that he not only knows Ziwei Dou Shu and the Eight Diagrams of the I Ching, but also has extensive research on Western constellations and tarot cards. Plus, he has a mouth that can talk the dead back to life, so his business is quite good.
, I also touched the little hands of many student girls, and I was so happy every day.
However, he has always liked excitement and adventure. After all, he is not a person who can live in idleness. Within a few days, he sighed in front of me and said that he was so idle that his body became moldy and hairy.
Contrary to him, I am a person with no pursuits. My only idea is that Duoduo can freely come and go under the sun, like a normal child, and have a happy and ordinary life. Compared with the miscellaneous trail
, I prefer casual and peaceful days.
However, everything in the world is not as expected, and there are always some things that will inspire people to move towards the trajectory of destiny.
As time went by, the pain in my left hand began to become more frequent and severe.
The symptoms are like rheumatism, with thin muscles, unfavorable joints, and dry mouth and nose. From time to time, pain that goes deep into the bone marrow comes from the joints on the left hand, and sometimes the right hand also echoes. It lasts for three or two days at first, and then one day.
once.
The so-called ten-finger-to-heart connection makes me feel so painful that sometimes I even want to hit the wall.
At first, I thought it was due to the invasion of evil spirits, rheumatism entering the body, and the presence of golden silkworm Gu. After a period of recovery, I would be fine. However, as the pain deepened and the frequency of the disease became shorter and shorter, I began to pay more attention to it.
I found that the meridians on my left and right hands had begun to change, and they were moving in an uncontrollable direction. The source of all this came from the runes on the palms.
But the real guidance was caused by the resentment of Deaf Luo in prison.
Zamao Xiaodao analyzed it with me and said that this palm has accumulated too much evil energy and the resentment of evil spirits, so it has begun to become diseased. In fact, it cannot be said to be a disease. It has become more and more powerful against evil things.
The bigger they are, the more effective they can be in deterring evil objects, but these things are uncontrollable and may harm my body.
This matter was also brought to the attention of the well-informed "Timely Rain" tiger cat. In the end, he only glanced at it and said that this thing belonged to the Miao border witchcraft lineage. Although he knew a few people who were cultivators of witchcraft in his early years,
I am not familiar with the principle of this palm curse. However, since it can make me feel pain, I think it will cause trouble in the future and be harmful to my health. It is best to find a solution.
In late November, Zamao Xiaodao and I went to the Municipal People's Hospital for a physical check-up and asked orthopedic experts to help diagnose and see if we could use medical means to control and treat the disease. But after all, things are not within the scope of science.
, the doctor gave me a full body examination and concluded that I was extremely healthy and stronger than a calf. As for the burning and pain that I often felt, he doubted for a while and said, could it be a psychological effect?
Would you like to introduce me to a professional psychiatrist?
When he said this, I happened to have a seizure. I stretched out my hands with blue veins and showed them to him.
Looking at these trembling hands, the doctor swallowed and said nothing. When I turned my palms open, a ghost appeared on the blue skin, which frightened him so much that he screamed and didn't say anything for a long time.
Speak up.
Looking at his state, he needs a psychiatrist more than me.
After returning from the city, Zamao Xiaodao called home and explained my situation and asked if there was any way to control it. The answer was no. I had never heard of such strange marks, but the old man had several old friends. He could
Help me to find out. Zamao Xiaodao repeatedly told me that the service should be done quickly, as there is some urgency here.
After hanging up the phone, Zamao Xiaodao couldn't help but sigh, wondering if he was too old this year, why everything was not going well, and all kinds of troubles were coming to his door?
Two days later, Zhao Zhonghua, who was far away in Dongguan, called me and asked me how I was doing.
He received a notification document from the Southwest Bureau in the bureau. He already knew what I was doing at home. He praised me for my kindness and told me that the director was planning to raise my salary by one level.
!Although it is still not much, as a newcomer who has just arrived, this can be considered a great honor.
I smiled bitterly. At this moment, my life was in danger and my hands were not safe. With the salary of several hundred yuan, what could I be happy about?
After chatting for a while, Zhao Zhonghua heard the lack of interest in my words. He hesitated for a while and asked me what was going on? I said that my hand had a disease and it was starting to hurt gradually. It was usually fine.
When an attack occurs, it feels numb and numb, and the pain in the bone marrow is excruciating.
Zhao Zhonghua said everything was fine elsewhere? It would be strange for me to say everything was fine. If his whole body was affected by a single move, he would not feel comfortable anywhere.
He suddenly asked me if I still remembered the last time he mentioned his mentor to me.
I can't remember it for a while and ask what's wrong?
Zhao Zhonghua said that his mentor Wanyao was a very powerful folk wizard who was good at using the technique of binding ghosts with red rope. In his early years, he traveled alone all over the country, hunting ghosts, and saved countless souls. Because he was the third in the family,
People in the world respectfully call him Wan Sanye. Wan Sanye is from the Tujia ethnic group and has done some research on the Miao border curse sealing technique. So when he saw the cross marks on my broken palm last time, he invited me to see his mentor to seek relief.
.Now that his condition has worsened, why not let him make the connection and have a look at his mentor?
Naturally, I was overjoyed and quickly asked him where his mentor Wan Sanye lived now.
Zhao Zhonghua said that his mentor closed down the mountain after he was sixty years old and now lives in seclusion in Enshi Badong, known as the "Roof of Central China".
I immediately made an appointment with Zhao Zhonghua, and then went home to say goodbye to my parents. They didn't know what I was doing, but they just complained to me for a while, saying that the Chinese New Year was coming in two months, so why did I have to run out again?
I finally calmed down the old lady, and then I went to Huaihua with Zamao Xiaodao to change trains and went north to meet Zhao Zhonghua.
