Chapter 607

This village is obviously isolated. Naturally, there is no Internet or cable TV. The conditions are similar. Just press a big pot lid, which is better known as satellite TV, and you can watch one or two central and local channels. The financial pressure of the villagers is burdened.

He is relatively heavy, and naturally he is not interested in celebrities either. He seems to love someone.

Except for national leaders and some policy reforms on land and people's livelihood, they don't pay attention to any celebrities, and their spiritual pursuits still remain the hobbies of the people in the village when I was a child, playing poker, playing Pai Gow and so on during the leisure time.

It's ugly to say that there is no pursuit, and it doesn't matter whether there is development or not. Anyway, except for the village chief's family, the living standards of each family are similar, and everyone is quite satisfied without comparison.

To put it nicely, it means being down-to-earth, having a little money to spend, and being able to live a peaceful and down-to-earth life.

And I want to ask, why is it that the village chief lives in a house with red tiles and ceramic tile walls in the Gaomen compound? Doesn’t he think the village chief is corrupt? The villagers also have something to say, hey, he is a cadre, he eats public food

They are definitely different from us ordinary people!

My mentality is not generally good, and it would be a lie to say that I am not lagging behind.

Originally, no one in the village knew who I was. The only identity that everyone knew was that I was a distant relative who was the next guardian of San Meier as mentioned by Aunt Zhu. Everyone knew that the old ugly uncle was still taking San Meier on a long trip despite his illness.

, came back with only ashes left, and I accompanied San Meier back to her hometown to observe mourning. After contacting each other, everyone felt that this was Uncle Chou’s final arrangement for San Meier, and my appearance did not make anyone

A person feels baffled.

As a fool known to the whole village, San Meier was sent to Uncle Chou by her parents since she was born. Immediately afterwards, San Meier's biological parents moved out of the village. When Uncle Chou went out on his own, San Meier

I will entrust Aunt Zhu to help take care of her. According to Aunt Zhu’s words, the third sister is easy to take care of because she is silly, and is too wilting to speak or be naughty. Just give her a stutterer, and it is easier to take care of than a dog.

The only thing that people didn't expect was that the child ran out of energy after running away. At that time, they thought it was God's will because Uncle Chou was seriously ill. Otherwise, no one would watch the child grow up and he would starve to death if he didn't get lost.

, who knew that San Meier woke up, talked like crazy for a few days, and then died normally? The village is surrounded by mountains, and there are many spiritual things, so they believed in these things, and they concluded that San Meier was the result of God opening his eyes.

The enlightened conclusion, coupled with the fact that Uncle Chou took San Meier out, they secretly whispered that Uncle Chou was taking San Meier to find his biological parents. If Uncle Chou was dying, he would definitely not let San Meier go.

Not settled.

It's just that I didn't find my biological parents, but I brought back a distant relative from the city. This person is me... Look, doesn't everything fall into place? I should have thanked Uncle Chou for paving the way so that I didn't have to waste any more words.

Because of his behavior in the village, I felt the enthusiasm of the villagers, but I never expected that there were some young people who wanted to work for their families during the slack time. As a result, they met and heard about my heroic work in Changbai Mountain.

Deeds' done.

This unlucky person was the young man who filled Uncle Chou’s grave that day. It was him who made Aunt Zhu know that I was a gentleman. I wanted to hide my identity as a gentleman, but failed and still couldn’t hide it...

In the past, of course I didn't care if anyone knew I was a husband. I even liked coming to this kind of place. It was so easy for evil things to develop and grow. Just like in Liujin, I did a lot of work to screw people over.

But times have changed. In the past three years, I really just wanted to live secretly. I didn't expect to come back. Although I said it was righteous to comfort others, my hands were weak and my mind was blank. How could I show it to others? I saw something was wrong.

Are you kidding? I can't keep up with Master Li. At least that guy can cry. What can I do?

After I burned the old ugly uncle's clothes and everything else and sent them over, Aunt Zhu came to me again and asked me about helping her son fall in love with Liang. I hesitated for a long time, but in the end she thought

It's a matter of money. He opened his mouth and said: "Jiaolong, in the past, the old ugly gave us medical treatment for free, but you are showing off to others in Changbai Mountain and it is on the news. Then the country must be paying attention to it."

Yes, if you have a good idea about the beam-mounting issue, I will give you a reward of 100 yuan, which is the highest price in eight villages within ten miles. What do you think?"

I looked at Aunt Zhu dumbfounded, did this rise to the level of the state?

"Aunt Zhu, I've been busy with Uncle Chou's affairs since I came here, and my mind is also confused. Can you wait for me to wait for two days before showing your son?"

Aunt Zhu nodded: "Okay, as long as I have your words, I have been worried after Lao Chou left. The red and white things in our village before, all kinds of headaches and fevers were all caused by him. Now that I have you, what else can I do?"

I feel relieved about staying here for a long time. Otherwise, I would have to walk two hours on the mountain road to find Old Mrs. Cui. She is old and it is not convenient to walk on the mountain road. I figured it would be fine if we come by ourselves, okay?

He said, I have watched my third sister grow up, and although she is a bit disrespectful to call me aunt, I have always regarded her as my granddaughter!"

"Well, it's thanks to you that you took care of Uncle Chou's matter. Aunt Zhu and Jiaolong are all aware of it."

"Okay, you guys get busy first. This house won't be inhabited for a long time and needs to be cleaned properly. If you need anything, just call me in the yard!!"

I kept nodding and thanking her, and as soon as I saw Aunt Zhu off and came back, I felt melancholy. Sitting on the edge of the kang, I kept thinking about how to push this matter out so that it wouldn't look so embarrassing and wouldn't hurt the neighborhood.

And Aunt Zhu has always taken good care of San Meier.

Looking up, Uncle Chou's house is simple and shabby. From the outside, it just has a low wall and a wooden door that can be called a decoration. It's just a show at best, and it doesn't have the effect of a door. The same goes for the inside of the house.

Likewise, the door is not tightly closed and has no lock, and it makes a squeaking sound when the wind blows.

When you enter the house, there is a stove and some simple pots and pans, most of which are notched. When you turn in, you find a large room with a kang, a table, and an empty space that can be called a wardrobe. To paraphrase the sketch,

If you look at it, there really isn’t even any decent furniture. The only valuable thing is probably the big vat next to the stove for drinking water. This shows how simple Uncle Chou’s life is. Let alone the door lock for such a house.

If it is not strict, there is no need to lock it at all. I don’t think even rats passing by will stop too much.

Human hearts are made of flesh. Perhaps the villagers saw that the old ugly uncle was living a hard life and was always willing to help others, so they took more care of San Meier.

"Jiaolong, this shouldn't be too difficult, it's just a beam. You've seen so much before, just pick a time in the morning. Aunt Zhu takes good care of Sanmei'er and is the most warm-hearted in the village.

After I woke up, she was also very nice to me, so it’s not easy to refute other people’s face.”

Sanmei'er stuffed my and her things into the simple wooden cabinet, then sat next to me and whispered: "It's okay if no one knows that you are sir, but now everyone knows, don't you

Show it, people will definitely think that you look down on the people in the village, after three years, it will be so embarrassing to meet you in the future."

I looked at her uncontrollable frown: "Sanmei'er, it's not that simple to build a beam. Yes, it was very simple for me before, but you think about how many houses people in the village can build in a lifetime."

Going back is nothing more than getting a wife, or keeping it for your children and grandchildren. There is a saying in the countryside, "If there are beams on the roof, there will be food in the house. If there are no beams on the roof, the livestock will not be prosperous." In the hearts of ordinary people, it is

Do you know the most important process of building a house?"

Third sister shook her head: "Well, I really don't know..."

"never mind."

I rubbed the bridge of my nose and said self-consciously, "The upper bridge is not simply a matter of time. It is necessary to calculate the fleeting evil stars of each zodiac sign of the owner of the family. If there is an evil star, it must be avoided, and the upper beam must be avoided.

If the beam is in conflict with the zodiac sign, it must be avoided. The so-called ascending the beam is like a crown. If the ascending is smooth, it will naturally bring good fortune and good weather. If it is not good, everything will not go as planned, with heavy pressure on the head and constant ailments.

, the disaster will continue..."

"It's so serious, but we are building houses in rural areas, so there won't be so many things. I think everyone is living a similar life. There is no one rich and powerful, but there won't be any serious illness or disaster..."

I took a long breath and looked at her: "If you think better, I will go to Liang as soon as I can, but Aunt Zhu's son's life is hard to get up, and she will never think that I will go to her in the end.

Liang's matter, but I can't live with it. It's not that I don't want to help. I can obviously do it well, but I can't do it right now. I'm afraid of causing discomfort to others and messing up the happy event. You say,

It’s not troublesome.”

Sanmei'er looked at me seriously and said, "I heard you say it, it's a bit tricky. Jiaolong, I made things simple. I thought I could just look at the almanac or something like that. In this way, you don't have to worry about it."

I'm too anxious, think about it slowly, it really doesn't work, I'll go tell Aunt Zhu, maybe you will get some inspiration if you relax a little."

I nodded and didn't respond. When I heard Aunt Zhu's enthusiastic voice calling Sanmei'er in the yard, I was so frightened that I shivered!

She came to bring rice and some cabbage and potatoes. These days, Sanmei'er and I have been eating instant noodles. She said that eating the same thing all the time is not enough, so she brought us some food from home. Naturally, there is no need to say more about how moved she is.

Yes, but when she left, she left me a piece of paper with the age and zodiac signs of the whole family and the person who helped her son build a house.

Her family was not the only one in the village who had built a house, so she knew all the taboo procedures. Before I could say anything, she said to herself as if I had already agreed: "Jiaolong, I told my son

, if you can help to host it, the reward will be bigger when the time comes, aunt will be fine! Okay, no need to send it, the time and other things are written on the paper, you can just tell the aunt after you decide!

"

As soon as she left, my head got really big. I looked at the zodiac signs. It didn't have to be so complicated before. I only needed to know the birth date of the owner of the house to figure out the time and the zodiac sign to avoid. But now I look at it.

The paper is full of data, but my heart is a mess, and I really feel miserable!

I took some of the money I brought to San Meier and asked her to buy something from a canteen to deliver to Aunt Zhu. Favors must be repaid. You can’t take someone else’s food in vain. I don’t have much money, but I live here.

That's enough. The rest can be repaired by Uncle Chou's house. Otherwise, several pieces of yellow mud have fallen off the exterior wall of the house. I'm really afraid that it will collapse if I live there.

I have been anxious for more than a week. It gets dark early here, and Uncle Chou’s house doesn’t have anything like a TV for entertainment. During the day, I went up the mountain with San Meier and sat in front of Uncle Chou’s grave. At night, I took the

A piece of paper was spinning around in the yard, accompanied by the night, and kept picking out things that I had learned by myself without a teacher before. Occasionally, a few dogs barked in the quiet mountain village. I felt so depressed that I wanted to die. I looked up at the stars in the sky and suddenly

I feel like I have no motivation to waste my life. The ultimate reason that makes a person want to die is not to escape or shrink, but because of a heart that has nowhere to rest but the world is cold.

A simple summary, just a few words, I am a waste, my fucking life is really a waste of food!



"Jiaolong, you are still thinking about it, stop thinking about it...go to sleep, I will tell Aunt Zhu tomorrow, ah."

Sitting cross-legged on the kang, I was still staring at the crumpled piece of paper, "Third sister, I really want to escape. It would be great if no one knew that I was a gentleman."

"do not do that."

She got up from the bed and sat down opposite me with sleepy eyes: "Actually, what I used to think is that the more you lose, the more you have to face. But these days, I see you are so obsessed with Aunt Zhu's affairs.

Huo, I feel really uncomfortable. Really, maybe Onmyoji is different from other professions. We ordinary people don’t understand these things, but don’t put so much pressure on us. It’s going to take a long time, let’s take it slow, ah.”

"It's useless... Sanmei'er, I really can't think of it. I can't think of it at all in my mind. I know it's just a superficial thing. If you read more books on this subject, you will be better than me. I really can't think of it."

Already..."

"Jiao Long! Don't be like this. Uncle Chou said he asked you to cultivate your body and nature. Maybe he just wants you to take good care of your body. When your hand heals, everything will be fine."

I lowered my eyes and looked at my hand, then hammered it to the edge of the kang in annoyance: "But it doesn't react at all! It's useless! It's useless!!!"

"Jiaolong!!" San Meier hugged me tightly: "You can do it, you really can! Don't hurt yourself! Really! Don't hurt yourself! There is hope in life!!!"

The emotions I had been holding back for several days broke out. I shook my shoulders and vented my uncontrollable emotions. I kept shaking my head: "Third sister, I have no hope. I am really a useless person. I am a useless person...

…I can’t be a husband anymore…I despise myself, but I can’t help it! Sanmei’er!!”

San Meier also cried. She hugged me tightly and never let go: "Don't scare me, Jiaolong, really don't scare me. You are the only one I have left. Don't scare me like this. If something happens to you, I should

What should I do, Jiaolong..."

I was speechless and felt that I really couldn't face anyone in this state.

Sanmei'er was afraid that I would do something stupid, so she didn't dare to let go of my hand. I was tired from crying, and I finally fell asleep until the sun rose, cocks croaked, dogs barked, and Aunt Zhu was busy.

The voice sounded in the yard, and I got up like a ghost. Looking at San Meier's eyes that woke up instantly, I opened my mouth in a hoarse voice: "Don't worry, I'll tell Aunt Zhu that actually I can't do anything."

,it's not a big deal……"

"Jiaolong! Third sister! Are you up yet?!"

Aunt Zhu opened the door of my house, but she stood outside and did not come in. I responded. My throat hurt so much that I staggered to the ground to put on my shoes. Third sister got up and looked at me: "I'll go ahead and tell you. You must be embarrassed."

."

I shook my head as if it were filled with glue: "It's okay, I'll speak for myself."

Walking slowly to the kitchen, Aunt Zhu stood outside the door and was studying the door of my house: "Jiaolong, although there are no evil-minded people in our village, there are many living creatures, and if you can't protect everything, you can get into the house.

It's common to see snakes and other things in the yard. Your door needs to be repaired, otherwise you won't know who is entering the house at night."

I nodded but coughed twice, feeling very depressed, "Mom, I..."

Aunt Zhu looked over in confusion: "What's wrong, Jiaolong, are you sick? Look, it's getting cold. It's very cold here in winter. You have to close your doors and windows. I'll go back and give you some in a while."

Find some cold medicine and take it. When the time comes, my son will be ill soon!"

Looking at Aunt Zhu's expectant eyes, I licked my lips, took a deep breath, took the water ladle, scooped a ladle of water from the jar, poured it into my smoking throat, drank it dry, and wiped it fiercely.

Wiping her lips, she looked at Aunt Zhu: "Auntie, regarding the time, I..."

"How come? What time is it?"

I raised my hand, and my mind suddenly turned, turned!

"At ten o'clock in the morning, when the tide of the daily election is high, money is pouring in. People whose zodiac signs are chicken, ox, and monkey should be avoided. People whose time is ugly should be avoided. There is a funeral in the family that has not yet reached the anniversary, and women who are menstruating.

, don’t look forward and watch.”

After I finished speaking, I was stunned. My mind was extremely clear. I turned my head and looked at the third sister who was also wide-eyed and surprised. What was going on? Suddenly it became clear... (To be continued)
