Chapter Seven Family History

A day is divided into twelve hours. Zi hour is from 23:00 to 1 o'clock in the evening, and Chou hour is from 1 o'clock to 3 o'clock. One hour is two hours.

According to Marx's point of view, the lower the level of development of productivity, the more indifferent people are to the concept of time. As the level of productivity and production efficiency increase, people's concept of time becomes more sophisticated. Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, an hour was divided into half , the first hour is called "chu", and the next hour is called "zheng".

Mao hour is from 5 o'clock to 7 o'clock, Mao Chu is 5 o'clock, and Mao Zheng is 6 o'clock.

As for the so-called position of Fuxi's sixty-four hexagrams, Qian Ji Wu Zhong, Kun Ji Zi Zhong, its yang is in the south, and its yin is in the north... The "ding" hexagram and the "heng" hexagram refer to approximately south by west. The direction of 19.89 degrees.

I found an atlas from the car and found the place where I met the crazy Taoist Liu Qing yesterday. It was 20 degrees south to west and marked a mark ten kilometers away.

After making the mark, I couldn’t help but smile bitterly: It was actually in the river.

Could it be that this crazy Taoist wants me to go boating in the East when it is white and become a romantic figure like Su Shi through the ages?

wrong.

If we follow the ancient system, the distance in ancient times was very different from today. Between the Qin Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, the concept of "li" was completely different from today's 500 meters. In ancient times, 1 mile = 300 steps * 6 feet = 1800 feet * 23.1 centimeters , so calculated, almost 1 mile is equal to 415.8 meters. Then, 20 miles is 8316 meters.

Looking at it at this distance, it turns out to be a school playground.

I set the alarm for 4:30 and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the bed.

When the alarm clock rang, I jumped up, went to the 24-hour convenience store and bought a bottle of Liushen toilet water, and then went straight to the meeting place.

Liu Qing was sitting in the corner of the playground. He was covered with a torn blanket and kept grabbing it with his hands.

I walked over and heard him say: "Hey, little kid, you're really here. I'm waiting for you."

How could I be fooled? I took out my fake ID and said, "You have the wrong person. This is my name."

Liu Qing took the ID card, threw it away and said, "Don't fool me. Your name is Lin You, right?"

I could only nod helplessly, looked at his appearance, and said, "Old god, are you going to sleep here?"

"No, after sleeping all night, I'm waiting for you. I know you will be able to solve the riddle in that poem."

I bowed and said: "Old god, don't deceive me. Your riddle poem said that we met here at the beginning of the month, and you don't have many red envelopes on your arms and legs. If you sleep here all night, you won't be It’s strange that the mosquitoes sucked up all the blood. How could there be only so many bags?”

"Hey, little kid, why are you like that guy, always showing off your reasoning abilities anytime and anywhere?"

I was stunned. "That guy"? It sounded like he was talking about my relatives, so he hurriedly said: "Do you know my dad?"

"I know your grandma." Liu Qing said, still holding on to her hands.

"Ah? My grandma?"

Liu Qing said without blinking: "Your grandma was named 'Youhui' because she was smart when she was young. She lived in Daomao Lane, Qingchun Road, Hangzhou in her early years, and later moved her family to Shanghai. A few years after liberation, because My husband's family was too rich, so he was beaten down as a capitalist and forced to divorce. He went to Shandong to promote sericulture technology. Later, he met your grandfather and gave birth to your father and your aunt, right?"

I was stunned. What he said was true at all.

My grandma rarely mentioned these family histories. I pieced them together from the few words of the older generation. I think back then, when the college entrance examination was resumed, my father, although he ranked first in Shandong Province, failed due to family background issues.

He didn't go to college, but he went directly to work as a mechanic in a car repair team. It was also because of his family history, which is sad.

"Aren't you talking? Not talking is admitting it? Before my good apprentice left, he even mentioned you and said that you had fooled me miserably. I didn't expect that his master, I, was defeated by your uncle decades ago. Now my apprentice

I was defeated by you again, hehe, I was really bullied by your family!"

My face suddenly turned pale. Looking at his virtuous appearance, his apprentice must be the same Mao Bin who I cheated out of 5,000 yuan.

Is this the rhythm of a master coming to avenge his apprentice?

"Wait, my uncle?" I asked in surprise, "When did I have an uncle again? How come I don't even know about it?"

"It seems that your grandma didn't tell you anything." Liu Qing said with a "haha" smile.

I shook my head honestly. This crazy Taoist seemed to know a lot. He said, "Old god, I really don't know. Just tell me. So, just tell me." As I said that, I took out the toilet water and swung it around.

He shook his head and said, "This is for you."

When Liu Qing saw the toilet water, he quickly stretched out his hand and said, "You little kid, if you didn't take it out earlier, you'd be itching me to death..."

He sprinkled the toilet water all over his body and said with a smile: "It's still the young and smart grandson who loves me as an old man. Well, seeing that you are so well-behaved, let me tell you. Your grandma's child from the first marriage is still in Shanghai. Your uncle

His name is 'Le Shui' (please don't pronounce it "le", "yue", don't pronounce it wrong), but he is a very smart guy. The business in Shanghai is booming, and the industry is huge...but it was later closed down

A group of childhood playmates formed an organization. As an old man, your uncle invited me to be a consultant."

I was stunned for a moment.

Could this uncle named "Leshui" be "that person" that Mrs. Yin mentioned?

"You exposed my Liuren's calculation skills with a few words last night. My appearance at that time, tsk tsk, was exactly the same as your uncle's. No wonder my apprentice said before he left that he met someone with the same personality as him.

The guy I often mention looks eerily similar to you, and that’s you!”

I scratched my head in embarrassment and said, "So, you waited for me there on purpose last night? How did you know I was going there?"

Liu Qing chuckled and said: "Little boy, I told you that you should be in awe when you are young. Do you think my Liuren arithmetic skills are just a bluff? Speaking of which, I even taught you

Where is your grandma!"

I suddenly remembered that when the reform and opening up came, my father started to buy and sell and start a small business, so he gradually traveled more and more on business. As a primary school student, I shouted for my father every day, and my grandma was just counting her fingers. Sometimes she

She said that my dad had "arrived at the door", and sure enough, he came in soon; sometimes she said "the road is empty at both ends", which meant that my dad was already on the way home; sometimes she said "sit quietly and don't look around", which meant

It's my dad who hasn't left home yet and is still busy there.

I always thought that *** was a master of calculations because my dad called back to inform me of his itinerary. She had known about it in advance and was pretending to bluff me. Now that I think about it, at that time, there was no phone at home at all!

Could it be that she really learned Lao Shizi's "Liu Ren Calculation Technique" from this crazy Taoist Liu Qing?

By rough calculation, my grandma was born in 1915, and she probably got married and had children in 1935. According to this calculation, by the time of the Lin family residence incident in 1956, my uncle named "Leshui" was about 20 years old. My grandma was born in 1950

I got divorced and moved to Shandong. After I met my grandfather, my aunt was born in 1953 and my father was born in 1956. In other words, my father and my aunt are half-brothers to my uncle Le Shui, whom I have never met.

Sister, when my father was born, she was already 41 years old. At that time, she walked back and forth between Tai'an City and Laiwu County (Laiwu County was originally part of Tai'an City, and was changed to a municipal administrative division in 1983) every day, practicing

I just have a good body, and I still can’t hear or see clearly, and my legs and feet are nimble and nimble.

However, after my grandma arrived in Shandong, Uncle Leshui probably followed his father and had little contact with her.

Of course, Uncle Le Shui's surname is definitely not Le. As for his surname, I don't know. Old Mrs. Yin has never mentioned it, and my grandma has never mentioned it.

Thinking about it this way, everything fits together. No wonder Mrs. Yin said I looked like "that person" when she saw me, but kept secret about "that person" and promoted me to the "leader" of the organization so easily. It turns out

“That person” is my long-lost uncle Le Shui, who is my father’s half-brother?

I took a step forward, not caring that the crazy Taoist Liu Qing was extremely dirty, and just said, "Uncle Le Shui...has he passed away now?"

Liu Qing's eyes dimmed and he said, "Why do you think I am like this?"

My heart sank. Uncle Le Shui had indeed... That's why Fang Yan, Liu Qing and other old friends of his left the organization one after another. Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and said, "The culprit is Ling Kong!"

This time, Liu Qing was stunned and said: "How do you know this person?"

"Not only do I know this person, I also know Mrs. Lin Yinru and Mr. Dialect." I saw Liu Qing's eyes widening, and suddenly I said in a vicious tone, "I also took over

Ling Kong’s seat was taken, and he was thrown into death row!”

Liu Qing suddenly raised his hands and laughed, saying: "Okay! Okay! Okay! You little kid really looks a bit like your uncle. When Lingkong slandered Lao Yantou, no matter how I tried to persuade her, Mrs. Yinru just wouldn't listen. Alas.

, she is also an infatuated person, and when she encounters this kind of thing, she becomes confused!"

I sighed in my heart and said: "Old god, I have offended you a lot before, please forgive me."

"It's such a big deal, why are you talking about tolerance? Don't act like a sour scholar. As a man, you have to stand up and show yourself, so that others will respect you. Your uncle back then

If he hadn't treated me so badly, and I wouldn't have gotten to know him without beating him, I wouldn't have bothered to help him afterwards!"

Liu Qing's words were very convincing. I felt a shiver in my heart and nodded in agreement. I couldn't help but admire his broad mind and said quickly: "Old god, since you are old friends with my uncle, how could you end up like this? Find a place quickly."

Take a shower and change clothes..."

Crazy Taoist Liu Qing waved his hand and said: "Everyone in the world likes to keep themselves and their things neat and tidy as a way to show off. As everyone knows, beautiful women are easy to be raped, and beautiful cars often attract thieves. How many people have you seen stealing those dirty things?

Already?"

I couldn't help but smile and said: "Old fairy, this is not necessarily the case. Tomb robbers specialize in picking out dirty things. The older and older they are, the easier they are to be stolen."

Liu Qing stared at me and said, "Did you know that the organization your uncle founded was originally for tomb robbing?"

I said "Ah" and thought, no wonder I asked this old fairy to be my consultant, no wonder I wanted to find Xi Shi's body. It turns out...

Mrs. Yin’s organization is not for eradicating evil, but for robbing tombs?

"Old fairy, you said that my uncle Le Shui has a big business and he must not be worried about money. If he is robbing tombs, he must not be stealing things to sell, right?"

Liu Qing twisted his beard and smiled: "Of course not...little boy, do you know why I invited you here?"

I thought of the poetic riddle that could be solved with the sixty-four hexagrams, and of the ancient "Twenty Miles", and I was surprised: "Do you want to see if I have the ability to pick up the tomb robbing business?

"
