Before I start, I think it is necessary to tell me about my life background.
In August 2006, I had just celebrated my 23rd birthday. At that time, I had graduated from college less than a year ago. I had been hanging around at home for a few months. My father couldn't stand it anymore, so he found me a job in a company through connections.
job.
Unfortunately, I didn't stay in the company for long before the God-Eating Gu incident happened. Due to the rush of the incident, I didn't have time to ask for leave from the organization, so when I returned, I learned that I had been expelled from the company.
Because of this incident, my mother was very angry and did not come to pick me up at the long-distance station. I was still young at the time and was confused all day long. I had lost a stable job and was not very anxious. After I gave my father the gift,
, I started to inquire about my second uncle’s situation.
Dad took two puffs of cigarette and said that his second uncle had recovered, but he was not very talkative. He stayed in the hospital all day long, thinking about something, and refused to say anything when asked. He seemed to have become more withdrawn.
.
After listening to this, I began to worry about my second uncle's situation. Instead of following my father home immediately, I asked to have a chat with my second uncle.
Dad agreed, and in the afternoon when he returned to Yunkai City, he took me to the place where my second uncle was hospitalized.
After a few days of recovery, the second uncle's complexion improved partially, but his face was still ugly. When I pushed the door in, the second uncle was sitting on the hospital bed, facing the window sill, thinking about something with a worried face. He was thinking so much
It was so serious that I didn’t realize that my dad and I had already gone in.
It wasn't until his father came up behind him, stretched out his hand, patted the second uncle on the shoulder, and whispered, "Second brother, what are you thinking about?" The second uncle trembled, turned around, and looked first
Xiang Dad glanced over again and saw me again. He breathed a sigh of relief, waved to me and said, Lin Feng, come here.
I respect my second uncle very much. When I saw him calling me, I hurried forward, took my uncle's right hand and asked him what was wrong.
The second uncle said nothing. He looked at his father standing outside the hospital bed and coughed, "Boss, please go out for a while. Lin Feng and I still have something to talk about."
My dad was not very happy and muttered, "What's the point of being a family? We need to keep it secret if we say something." My second uncle just laughed, but his attitude was very insistent.
Dad couldn't resist him and turned around and left.
As soon as the door to the ward was closed, my second uncle put his hand on my pulse and ordered me not to move! Then he closed his eyes and felt calmly for a long time. After a long time, he opened his eyelids slightly and looked at me with a very complicated expression.
I opened my mouth and wanted to speak several times, but I didn't know where to start.
I rarely saw such a tangled expression on my second uncle's face, so I looked at him cautiously and said, "Second Uncle, what's going on? Is it because the God-Eating Gu in my body has changed again?"
The second uncle just looked at me absentmindedly and then shook his head, "It's fine. It's settled down now. You don't have to worry about it continuing to torment you in the future."
"Oh..." I wiped my sweat and felt light-hearted. I looked at my second uncle again. He still had a hesitant look on his face. I couldn't help but said, "Second uncle, what's going on? I can't just say it out loud."
?"
The second uncle sighed and said with a serious face, "I made a mistake."
I hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
The second uncle continued to look at me with complicated eyes and spoke slowly, asking me if I knew what the ancestors of the Lin family did.
I looked confused and said I didn't know, weren't our ancestors blacksmiths? Then my second uncle started to laugh and said that the old man was just making up nonsense. I didn't expect you to believe it for more than 20 years.
My face was full of pain, and I asked why, why did my grandfather lie to me? My second uncle said nothing, put his hand on my forehead, and slapped me hard several times.
He seemed to have something unspeakable, and he was holding it all in his stomach. He obviously wanted to talk to someone, but he didn't know where to start. After holding it in for a long time, he sighed and said, "You, you, you are the only one who has been passed down in the Lin family until now."
It's a single seedling. Your uncle and I can't give birth to a son. The old man pins all his hopes on you. He wants you to be an ordinary person. Who knew you wanted to commit suicide?
……Why!"
At the end of the sentence, the second uncle let out a long sigh.
I was full of doubts and said, "Second uncle, what are you talking about? Who said you can't have a son? You've never been married. How will you know if you don't find an aunt to try?"
"Little bastard!" My second uncle laughed and scolded me, and then asked me if I had any cigarettes with me. He was very greedy during the time he was in the hospital.
I hurriedly handed over a box, and told my second uncle that you were still in the hospital, so be careful. My second uncle lit the cigarette, took a deep sip, and slowly blew out the smoke ring and preached,
"It's not that I can't have a son, but no matter how many sons I have, in the end, the only one who can survive in the Lin family is you!"
I was shocked and said, why?
The second uncle put the cigarette in his mouth and looked out the window absently. After a long time, he said numbly, "Because of a curse, the Lin family should have become extinct in my generation. It was your grandfather who spent a lot of money to save you."
You were born smoothly. When you were in labor, there was a loud thunder outside the Lin family's old house for a week. If our Lin family's old house didn't still have some ancestral luck, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been able to wait until you were born, and you would have suffered the thunder that day.
Killed."
I looked confused and asked, "Why didn't I know about this?"
The second uncle smiled again, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and said that it was an old story, so don’t mention it. Let’s go, help me back to the old house, I have something for you!
As he said that, he pulled it casually, threw the hospital gown on the ground, and stood up again.
I quickly supported my second uncle and said, what kind of trouble are you causing? Your health is not good, let’s continue to care for you in the hospital?
The second uncle glared at me and said, you know nothing about eggs! The second uncle's body cannot be cured by a hospital. If he wants to recover, he must return to the "Sixth District".
I scolded him a lot and didn't dare to talk back. I could only help my second uncle bitterly and accompany him back to the old house.
After entering the old house, my second uncle asked me to help him and walked into my grandfather's old study. He took out a small wooden box from the cabinet in the study and handed it to me and said, "Open it."
Bar.
With the God-Eating Gu incident, I now have a psychological shadow on all items such as boxes. Holding the wooden box, I felt very conflicted and asked my second uncle what was in the box and whether there might be something else.
Come out?
My second uncle scolded me, "Get out of here!" After saying that, he snatched the wooden box from my hand, broke the lock, opened the lid of the wooden box, and took out two old yellowed books from inside.
These two booklets each have their own titles. One booklet is printed with six large gilt characters of "Contemplation of the Great Self", and the other is written in small seal script with the five words of "Tai Shang Den Yin Jue"
, the two volumes stacked up are as thick as bricks.
The second uncle solemnly handed these two books into my hands and said solemnly, "These two books are left by the ancestors of the Lin family. Your grandfather wanted to burn these books, but for you, in the end, I still have to burn them."
It’s preserved.”
From what my second uncle said, these two books were specially left for me to read by the ancestors of the Lin family.
