I was very surprised, because what I needed was for him to answer that question for me, but he suddenly said that he wanted to tell us about what happened when he was young. Could it be that he was still in a state of confusion after the operation?
But I was also very curious about his life experience, so I obediently closed the door of the ward. When I turned around, I found that Yu Min had brought over two stools. She put the two stools on
In front of the old man's bed.
I immediately went to sit down. Yu Min also sat next to me.
The old man began to tell about his past...
The old man was born in a wealthy family, and he was eighteen years old when New China was founded.
The liberation here was later than the founding of New China, but it encountered an extremely turbulent period when the remnants of the Kuomintang poured into the mountains in large numbers and mixed with bandits.
When the old man was eighteen years old, bandits robbed his home. Because of resistance, the whole family, including the servants, died in the robbery. After robbing all the valuables, the bandits set a fire and destroyed the huge house.
The yard was burned to the ground.
The old man was spared because he was enjoying himself in the brothel that night.
The old man didn't like studying since he was a child, but he had a special liking for gambling, women, etc., and he was very good at playing. Because he was the only son in the family, his parents did not discipline him very much and allowed him to spend all day long.
He was fooling around outside, but he didn't expect that he escaped death because of it.
Although the young Hu Mozhi was unruly, he was a very bloody person. After suffering a catastrophe at home, the first thing he thought of was revenge. Hu Mozhi immediately sold his family's fields and a manor in the countryside, using those
Qian went to recruit some local gangsters, purchased some weapons from the Kuomintang stragglers, and then went up the mountain to seek revenge on those bandits.
The result is predictable. Because the people he recruited had no combat experience at all, and were greedy for life and afraid of death, most of his troops were immediately wiped out by the bandits, and the rest ran away.
Fortunately, he was still fine, but he became a complete pauper from then on. So he began his days of wandering and begging.
When he was twenty years old, he wandered to a place and was immediately taken in by the new government. The government arranged for him to work as a cook in a state-owned hotel, specializing in making soy milk and fried dough sticks. At the age of twenty-eight, he received help from enthusiastic people.
He found a woman and got married. However, the woman died of a sudden illness in the second year after their marriage. A few years later, someone found another woman for him, but she accidentally fell into the water shortly after the marriage.
Then some people began to say that he was a wife-killer. He himself began to doubt his own fate. He thought: Why is it that everyone in his big family died but he lived alone? Why did he continue to live alone?
Marry two women and both die inexplicably?
From then on, his heart died and he never thought about women again. From then on, he stayed with a yellow dog.
However, when he was forty years old, good things happened for him, and the dead wood began to bloom. A beggar woman from Henan fell from hunger in front of his house. He rescued her, and soon the woman became
His third wife. After the two got married, the woman one day heard rumors about Hu Mo’s murder of his wife. After she returned home, she said to her man: "I'm not afraid. Anyway, you saved my life."
Hu Mozhi was very moved and thought that although this woman was a bit ugly, she had good courage. Maybe her courage could scare away the God of Death. It was strange to say that this woman had lived with Hu Mozhi for five years but nothing happened.
No, her dark skin began to turn white, and her whole body became plump and beautiful. People around her were amazed.
But Hu Mozhi began to worry because this woman failed to give birth to a child for him. After going to the hospital for examination, the doctor told him that there was nothing wrong with both of them. Hu Mozhi thought that he must not have studied hard enough, so he went to bed early every night from then on.
After falling asleep, he started the activity of creating humans every day. Not to mention, all these efforts really worked. A year later, his wife actually gave birth to a chubby son for him.
Hu Mozhi felt that that period was the happiest day in his life. However, what he never expected was that a tragic thing would suddenly happen to his home one day. That day, when he came home from get off work, he was far away. He heard the old yellow dog at home barking violently. He hurriedly ran towards the house and was shocked by what he saw - his son was thrown to the ground and his wife was lying covered in blood. On the bed. When he went to test the woman's breath, he found that she was already dead.
The case was quickly solved. It was the crime committed by Wang Fugui, the man next door who had just been released from prison. He tried to rape Hu Mozhi's woman but was met with fierce resistance, so he killed Hu Mozhi's woman out of humiliation.
and children.
The criminal was shot to death soon after, but the sky above Hu Mo's head completely collapsed. One day, he quietly left that place and started his wandering life again.
One day, he met an old man at the foot of Wudang Mountain. The old man fell to the ground and was groaning in pain. He hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, but when he was about to leave, he was stopped by the old man.
"Come with me to practice Taoism." The old man said to him.
He shook his head.
"Then let me give you a message." The old man continued, "Your life is like a lone star, which will overwhelm your father, your mother, your wife, and your children. Only by entering my Taoist or Buddhist school can you have a good death."
He was very shocked, and then said: "You are right, I am already alone. It would be better if I died early. Why live for so long?"
The old man said: "Everyone is useful in this world, but you don't know your usefulness yet. Live well, and maybe one day you will see your relatives."
He said: "All my relatives are dead, and no one is alive."
"No, you have a sister who is still alive." The old man shook his head.
After the old man finished speaking, he disappeared quietly. Hu Mozhi woke up immediately and realized that he had had a very strange dream. However, he did not believe that the things in this dream were true, so he continued his wandering life.
Hu Mozhi had been to most cities across the country and made a living by picking up garbage. One day many years later, he suddenly remembered the dream he had had at the foot of Wudang Mountain. His homesickness suddenly surged, so he went there the next day.
He bought a train ticket and returned to Jiangnan, then took a long-distance bus back to his hometown. He was sixty-five years old that year.
"After returning to my hometown, I rented a house with the money I earned from collecting garbage for many years, and then used the skills I learned when I was young to run this small food stall." Finally, the old man Hu Mozhi said to us.
His story made me sigh, and Yu Min started to cry. I had already forgotten the question I wanted to ask, because the experience he told completely attracted me.
I asked him: "Have you found your sister?"
He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It was just a dream. But that dream gave me hope of life. In those years, I wandered in major cities across the country and saw people from all walks of life. To be honest, although I didn't have much education,
But the experience I have had in this life is not something that everyone can have. Now that I am old, sometimes when I see you young people, I can’t help but want to give you a few pointers. Haha! What is there a saying? What is the saying between people?
His words are kind when he is about to die, but it seems that I won’t live long in this world.”
I hurriedly said: "Don't say that. Aren't you fine now?"
But he took a look at Yu Min and then said to her: "Girl, can you go out for a while? I want to have a few words with Xiao Feng alone."
Yu Min suddenly became unhappy. She was coming to see me.
I guessed that the old man wanted to say something private to me, so I said to Yu Min: "You go out first."
The old man said: "Forget it. I think your relationship is not normal. You young people..."
I couldn't help feeling ashamed, and my face suddenly felt hot. But I was secretly wondering: How did he know that Yu Min was not my wife? How did he know that my relationship with her was not an ordinary one?
The old man seemed to see what I was thinking, and he continued to smile and said: "Although you two are easy-going, you are not close, and you don't have the tacit understanding between husband and wife. Haha! Xiao Feng, girl, don't blame me for talking too much. Let's do that.
, let me answer the question about the lottery for you first. Those Taoist priests on Guishan are all fake. They used to make a living by telling people's fortunes near the hospital. Later, I don't know what connections were used to get through to the officials in charge of religion in the county.
I went there and became a Taoist priest. Drawing lots is actually a kind of accident. The lot you draw is related to the strength of your draw and the direction of the lot. The lot is dead, but when you shake out a lot,
It comes alive when the lottery comes, because that lottery is connected with you. Therefore, from this perspective, drawing lots still has some predictive function. But the interpretation of the lottery is very important. For example, your lottery,
The Taoist priest's interpretation is indeed correct. Maybe that lot indicates your destiny. But what he told you about fortune telling is completely deceptive."
"Why do you say that? But what he said is very accurate?" I asked.
"I asked her to go out just now," the old man pointed at Yu Min, "Actually, I wanted to ask you something. Because I thought she was a girl, I felt a little inconvenient to ask. Xiao Feng, let me ask you, where are your balls?
Do you also have a mole?"
I was immediately shocked. What he said about my balls was actually my vagina. Indeed, I really had a mole there.
Yu Min was also surprised because she had seen my place before.
After being shocked, I asked: "How did you know?"
The old man smiled and said: "It's very simple. I can see it from your face. Our faces are very strange. Traditional Chinese medicine can tell from a person's face that he may have a certain disease, but a fortune teller can tell from a person's face."
It’s not surprising to see the distribution of moles on his body on his face. Because we humans are sophisticated machines. There are eight palaces on the human face. Everywhere you can see the part of the body that it corresponds to.
situation. For example, if there is a small black mole in the middle of your lip, that place and your balls belong to the Du Vein. If there is a mole on that part of your face, then your balls
There are probably some there. Also, acupuncture on certain acupoints on our ears and soles of our feet can also treat diseases of certain organs in our body. The principle is the same. By the way, do you have hemorrhoids?" (Unfinished)
