They stood at the door and breathed a sigh of relief, but soon I became worried: "Jianxing, my grandma doesn't know about me being in jail, so stop talking nonsense."
They were about to enter the door when they saw grandma coming out of the kitchen carrying a stack of sauerkraut and fried shredded carrots. This is my favorite side dish for breakfast.
She looked at me kindly: "Li Yang? You've come back just in time. It's best to eat this dish while it's hot. You've worked hard these past six months."
Looking at the several delicious dishes, three bowls of porridge and three pairs of chopsticks placed on the dining table, I made a dull thump in my heart!
Grandma...what does she mean?
Judging from her tone, she seemed to have expected that I would come back at this time today.
And she seems to know about my imprisonment!
I didn’t tell anyone about going home and working hard, and there were three pairs of bowls and chopsticks on the table!
One for grandma, one for me, one for Jian Xing?
Seeing me frozen in place, Jianxing asked me in a low voice: "Li Yang, didn't you say that grandma is the only one at home? Why is it that on the table..."
"It's really just grandma..."
I gasped involuntarily and looked straight at my very familiar grandma. Yes, this was indeed my own grandma!
I was just about to ask what was going on, but I heard a horrified cry from outside the house: "Old woman, help me! I've hit a ghost, I've hit a ghost!"
"Did something really happen? Is the book the shopkeeper has written from heaven!?"
When I heard people shouting outside that my mother-in-law had met a ghost, I panicked and immediately remembered the scene two hours ago when the old woman smiled at me and made her look like a ghost!
Sure enough, there are always many things happening during this Ghost Festival, and there will be hauntings both in and outside the city. Especially during this Ghost Festival, there are even more things to pay attention to.
Many people don’t believe that there are ghosts and gods in this world, but if they don’t believe it, there are some bad things that cannot be offended. There is a saying that is right, “respect ghosts and gods and keep them at a distance”. It means to respect them but not get close to them, which refers to a kind of attitude toward things.
The attitude is that you don't want to pay attention to him, but you don't want to offend him, you are polite to him, and you never get close to him.
There is a saying in modern times, that is, you don't have to love, but please don't hurt. If you get into trouble and hurt something, they will definitely come to settle the score with you.
The woman in my impression was about forty years old. She was quite good-looking, with fair skin. When she walked, the pair of giant breasts kept dangling in front of her. She was a woman with big and beautiful breasts.
Most rural people are like this and like to give people nicknames based on their physical characteristics. For example, the village chief Wang Aiguo was named Wang Dajia because he had a pair of thick arms.
"I told you to be more careful on the 14th day of the seventh lunar month, but they just didn't listen."
Grandma looked outside the house and sighed softly, lighting the brazier that seemed to have been prepared long ago, and murmuring to the flames: "You two should step over the brazier before entering. After you step over the brazier, all bad luck will disappear!"
After she finished doing this, she motioned for them to step over the brazier before entering the house.
Bad luck? How did grandma know they were in bad luck?
Grandma's behavior made me feel that she had some skills that I couldn't understand!
After the two of them stepped over the brazier, those who came to ask for help also came to my house. The leader was the village chief Wang Aiguo, who is also Wang Dali's father.
The village chief said helplessly: "Old woman, she's gone crazy. She beats anyone she sees. We have no choice but to tie her up with hemp rope!"
Grandma frowned deeply, spread her hands and said: "The day before yesterday, I asked her to stay at home last night. Why didn't she listen? Now she has encountered a ghost and comes to me again? She is already 40 years old. This "It's easy to encounter ghosts, but it is difficult to encounter gods."
Why don't you understand the meaning of "ask"?
The village chief was also a little embarrassed: "Old woman, we all know that you can understand the immortals, and we all listen to you. Didn't this woman cut the leeks at night because she wanted to take advantage of her daughter to have a good meal of dumplings when she came back today?
Who knew something would happen today?"
Grandma looked at the time, waved her hand and said: "The time has not yet come, and the immortal has not woken up yet, so it is useless for us to go. I will think of a solution at eight o'clock."
The great immortal that grandma talks about is the "immortal" she communicated with through channeling when she was a goddess.
To be honest, I have not known whether there really is a "great immortal" in these years, but some of my grandma's skills do exist, such as the prophet of fortune that I just saw.
The village chief sighed softly: "Since the Great Immortal hasn't woken up yet, we have no choice but to worry and go to my mother-in-law's house to guard her so that she doesn't cause any more trouble."
After they left, I gently held her wrinkled hand and asked: "Grandma, I have been very busy these past six months. It is really unfilial not to come back to see you. This is my good brother, Jian."
star."
Grandma smiled slightly and gently stroked my forehead: "Silly boy, how could you hide your imprisonment from me?"
My heart skipped a beat! She really... really knew what she was doing!
Before I could recover from the shock, grandma took Jianxing's big hand and said with a smile: "It seems that you are my noble man. Thank you for taking care of him in the prison."
this……
My head is a bit foggy...
Jian Xing couldn't help but clapped his hands and applauded: "Grandma, Jian Xing, I am convinced by you! I am indeed sworn to me inside!"
Jianxing is a very loyal person, a typical charlatan. In ancient times, he would have been a powerful hero. Speaking of which, I was not thrown into trouble because of his protection.
I hurriedly asked: "Grandma, how did you know that I was coming back today? And it was a good time for me to come back. Did you know that I brought my friend Jianxing with me?"
"How difficult is it to predict this? Why don't we give you a divination and a fortune telling?"
Although I never knew the authenticity of her words, as far as I know, "divination, fortune-telling, psychic communication, and consulting with immortals" are my grandma's special skills. She relied on this unique skill to become a "traditional Chinese" in the neighborhood.
"Goddess" reputation.
Grandma smiled slightly, looked at Jianxing, and joked: "Jianxing, can you show grandma your scar?"
Hearing her question, Jianxing suddenly lost his hold on the chopsticks in his hand, staggered and dropped them on the dining table, looking at me in a panic.
He was a little incoherent, and he pressed my thigh with one hand and asked: "Brother Li Yang, grandma...does she have X-ray vision? We have deliberately pulled up the collar, just to avoid her seeing..."
To be honest, I don’t know why grandma knew that Jianxing had scars on her body. I just felt that grandma’s skills were beyond my imagination!
"Since grandma wants to see your scars, then you can show them to her." I said with a wry smile.
Jianxing nodded and stepped back. He quickly took off his shirt, revealing the scar from the left side of his neck to the right side of his abdomen. He said it was from when he was a soldier.
To be honest, every time I see this scar, I feel that it is a great blessing that Jian Xing did not die when he was stabbed!
Grandma stood up slowly, squinted her shrewd old eyes and looked around the sword star several times, and muttered: "What a dragon ascending to the sky! Not bad, not bad!"
"The dragon ascends to heaven!?"
Jianxing and I were startled at the same time, and immediately asked: "Grandma, what do you mean by this?"
Grandma's old face turned rosy, she patted Jianxing's shoulder and said with a smile: "The big scar on Jianxing is the dragon. Look at this head, this tail, and the doorway flying upward. Isn't it the force of a dragon ascending to the sky!?"
After saying that, she slid her old hand up along the scar on Jian Xing's right abdomen, and a bright red blood mark emerged from the scar on Jian Xing's neck!
"Ouch!"
Jian Xing was in pain, and he took a few steps back in a hurry, and asked inexplicably: "Grandma, what are you doing!?"
I'm also puzzled as to why grandma did this, and she didn't have any sharp weapons in her hands. How did she get the blood mark on Jianxing's neck?
"Don't panic, don't panic..."
Grandma didn't care whether Jianxing was scared or not. She opened Jianxing's hand covering his neck with one hand and explained: "The trick I just did is called "the finishing touch"! Your dragon must have eyes before it can truly fly!"
Miraculously, just after grandma left a mark on the scar on Jianxing's neck, the long scar on his body turned a trace of blood red!
At first glance, it really looks like a dragon soaring into the sky!
At this moment, I feel that she is no longer as simple as a "goddess". I feel that she is the kind of hidden master who has experienced many storms and vicissitudes of life!
Jian Xing's voice was trembling when he spoke: "Grandma, how did you know that I have this thing...the dragon ascended to heaven?"
"There is an old saying in the family, that is, "one fate, two fortunes, and three feng shui." In our family, my birth date is "Guan Fei", which is what ordinary people say will lead to jail. I am destined to go to jail once or several times in my life.
Son’s.”
Grandma sighed bitterly: "I made a divination for me half a year ago, and the divination was the litigation divination. This divination is a typical official evil, and there is no way to avoid it. I know that the test of life he has to face has finally come.
He has been in jail for the past six months."
Jianxing and I were dumbfounded after hearing what grandma said!
This hexagram is so powerful that it can even predict my misconduct?
Thinking of the person who caused me to go to jail, I felt angry, but looking at my grandma's kind face, my heart was filled with guilt. People say that filial piety should be fulfilled early, but I wasted half a year of serving her.
time.
I gently held her hand: "Grandma, aren't you afraid that I will be killed while working hard?"
Grandma smiled cheerfully: "I'm not worried about that, because you are blessed with "one dragon, one horse, and two lucky stars" to help you. They will help you avoid difficulties, and this dragon is eating with me now."
"One dragon and one horse, two lucky stars!? Are you going to have dinner with us?"
My mind turned around and I looked at Jianxing beside me and said, "Grandma, the dragon you are talking about is not Jianxing, right?"
Jianxing also looked excited: "Grandma, is this "dragon" you are talking about me?"
"Who else could it be besides Jianxing?"
Grandma smiled slightly: "One fate, two fortunes, and three feng shui. You two are the "dragon entangled in the quagmire" in luck, which is what ordinary people call brothers in need. Only by complementing each other can we get out of the quagmire. "Dragon" is just a concept, people don't
He may turn into a dragon, so he must have birthmarks or scars on his body, so think carefully about whether what grandma said makes sense?"
