Chapter 22: Good Teacher Hao Guobin
As you look at it, the day is noon.
Hu Laoshi busy getting some messy paper, but also with yellow paper gabions tied out a strange things. We asked him what it was and what it was for. Hu Laoshi told us that this ah, is used to invite Jiao, well, of course, usually invite other things can also be used, which is called "move". Legend has it that after practicing Taoism to a certain level, you can drive evil things to your own use, and at first, you have to use the beckon to invite the evil things, and then use Taoism to control the evil things, forcing them to do what they are told to do.
But Hu Lao Si has not practiced to that realm, not that level, he has a little bit of Taoism, at best, even half a knife are not count. So, he also used this "trick" to invite the auger is good, and even this kind of trick, he did not use a few times, it is said to have invited the black snake spirit.
Well, it's still a kind of Taoist technique to invite evil things politely. But exactly how we do not understand, how do evil things know that this is a very polite invitation to them? And how is sure that the special child invited who? If a lot of evil things think it is to invite their own, all come, will not be a mess?
Originally, we were very curious, looking to go with Hu Laoshi. But Hu did not agree, said he went on his own on the line, people to go more bad, auger this kind of thing does not like the mess.
Well, in that case, a few of us had to go home to eat. In the afternoon, we will wait for Hu Laoshi to come back from the Dragon King Temple in Nanheti, whether it's a success or not, we have to say hello to us ah.
From Hu Laoshi out of the house, Chen Jin this kid had to go to Hao Guobin's house a trip, staring at us and said that we do not have this revenge, he Chen Jin difficult in the village based on the difficult to raise their heads in front of the brothers, and part of the loss of a big. Good guy, that huffing and puffing look I'm really worried that this kid do something out of the ordinary. Not only me, other buddies are also worried ah.
You know, now the villagers for us a few young people's attitude, but very sensitive, this thing is out of the juncture. It is not good, we this hand, may incur all the villagers protest and boycott, also may, we this fight, can make the village people more jealous of us …… The problem is, this thing if we really do it, we have a shame in our hearts ah. In good conscience, this thing can not be blamed on others Hao Guobin's wife, we are the main responsibility.
Think about it, a thirty-year-old woman, and a few sisters and sisters to discuss the basket with a basket, in order to their own children's future safety, wipe open the face to go on the offerings, for fear of letting too many people see, but also special children picked a drizzling air. As a result, people have spent half a day's effort, full of piety to come to the offerings, to give the child to seek a safe it.
But as soon as we arrived at the river, we saw a few young people shoveled the river god temple into a ruin, people can not be angry?
They just said a few angry words and made a few snide remarks about us. What's wrong with that? But Chen Jin this kid can not calm down, opened his mouth first scolded people, the results of Hao Guobin's wife that is not a good person, immediately scolded back ……
We can not scold others, we have to play with people martial arts? Mother's teach us to say, to fight not to fight ah!
A few of us persuaded half a day, finally the fire of Chen Jin slightly rested some, but the boy wanted to think about, or to go to beat Hao Guobin. Why? It is not because of the big words out, if not to beat Hao Guobin, then their own face where to put? Hao Guobin's wife must be full of world publicity, to that time …… Chen Jin said: "defecate out of the shit can still sit back?"
I think, it is really such a thing, a few brothers face is very important, then really if Hao Guobin's wife is full of proclaiming, losing is not Chen Jin a person's share, we will follow the face of a few people feel dishonored ah.
But now is not the time to make trouble, I think the village is now particularly sensitive, we are at this time, in a fit of anger to tear down the River God Temple, the whole village will be left on the South Embankment that the Dragon King Temple can be worshipped. The problem is that the village people think simple, the Dragon King Temple that is the Busan River Dragon King, it is guilty of managing this downer river? Besides, the Busan River is one mile from the village, the village children will not go there to swim, only in the village next to the downriver bathing, and most of them are out of business here, so that, or the River God Temple can protect the children.
Now it's good, the village temple are gone, the river god temple is gone, the villagers that kind of pious faith can not find a place to drain, can not find a place to go on the offerings to kowtow to worship.
That heart, can not hold panic? They will have to want to find a place to drain out, the heart is not depressed? At this time, as long as we pick another matter, will certainly make a fuss.
It's not that I'm afraid of worrying, it's two different things. We can not do things too extreme, these days, a few brothers and sisters one after another to do these things with the whole village are clearly against the thing to the village people have been tolerated again and again …… so to say, people are selfish, there is jealousy, we these days, too much publicity, the village people are now a quasi in the heart are thinking, hey! They think they're the gods? Are the villagers afraid of them? They just don't get along with them. What's the matter? What's the matter?
If we beat up Hao Guobin, the village will think we're bullying him.
It's hard to be angry! Will we still be human beings then?
It is not that this mouth is so swallowed not out, but …… I think that first in addition to the old bastard spirit and then say, to that time, we will absolutely become the village again the biggest headwinds, and is a good reputation for the village in addition to the harm ah! At that time, not to mention beat Hao Guobin, even with his wife, plus the copper lock mother of the old lady a piece of beat, the villagers will be from the spirit of support us, say we do good – the people's heart.
Whoever wins the hearts of the people, wins the world!
I put these ideas with the brothers said, well, all fried. Brothers a discussion and pondering, it is really the same thing. Chen Jin also convinced, also think it is so, we are again fierce, again overbearing, but also not to think with the whole village on the dry ah, we can not that I would rather negative the world, never let the world negative my lord mentality, we are just a poor farmer only.
A look at the brothers are nodding yes, and even Chen Jin are convinced, I'm proud to know why, shaking his head and said: "Well, a little impatience is messing up the big plan ah!"
"Fuck you, do you consider yourself Chang Yunliang's father? The reasoning is still all over the place." Chen Jin sarcastically said.
"That's right." The brothers echoed Chen Jin's words in unison.
Chang Yunliang immediately scolded, "Damn Chen Jin, Yinle is like your father ……."
The brothers all burst out laughing, causing passersby to look at them.
……
This rain is not big, pattering down for two hours, then stopped. The sun drilled out from behind the clouds, and finally burst out in anger, desperately scattering strong sunlight, killing all the dark clouds in the sky to drive away, and the sky finally became blue blue blue.
It was hot again. I, Guo, Liu Bin, Chang Hanqiang four people accompanied Chen Jin to Chen Jin's home. Looking to send Chen Jin to the home after we go back to eat, because really do not feel at ease with this kid, it is not good that he momentary temper, single-handedly rushed to find the front street to make a fuss about Hao Guobin's home to go.
What we did not expect is that people Hao Guobin has arrived at Chen Jin's home.
He came on behalf of his wife to make amends, for fear that Chen Jin really go to his trouble. Hao Guobin thirty years old, is a people's teacher, teaching junior high school in the township. His usual behavior is just like his profession, he has always been not good at arguing with people, honest, not to mention fighting and trouble. But he also has a point, that is afraid of his wife.
In Hao Guobin's own words, he is not really afraid of his wife, but most of the time he doesn't see eye to eye with his wife, and when he is really grumpy, his wife is still afraid of him. But he basically does not temper.
Well, for example, today, after he heard about this matter, he put his wife hard hard reprimanded a meal, his wife froze even a fart did not put, but resolutely to stay at home, determined not to come with Hao Guobin to make amends. Hao Guobin understand their wives, he usually lazy to care about these old ladies to go on the offerings to burn incense to worship the temple, his personal is a pure atheist, but for the sake of the family's peace, he will never be for this kind of thing with his wife argued.
This time, after he learned that his wife and our young men had a conflict, he simply did not listen to his wife's side of the story. Hao Guobin understand, let his wife talk about the cause and effect of this matter, it will be our gang of young people how overbearing how unreasonable how to make a fuss over nothing. In fact? Hao Guobin understand, his wife is a what? That is also difficult barbaric tight oh!
And for our group of young people, Hao Guobin has always felt that these children, although they love to fool around, love to make trouble fighting ah brawl ah, but the mind is not bad, and will not casually and the village people up. From Chen Jin does not hit his daughter-in-law, but said to hit him Hao Guobin on this point, Hao Guobin felt that a few of our young people are really enough man, at least …… to the extent of the face, we still do not have the hands to hit the woman is not?
To be honest, to now think of, I am particularly admiring Hao Guobin this person, a more ordinary but the secondary school teacher, he taught history and politics.
As for why I admire him, well, it's still because of this conversation between him and us.
When we just entered Chen Jin's home, now Hao Guobin, all feel a little surprised and surprised, of course, we see Hao Guobin understand what he came to Chen Jin's home.
And Chen Jin saw Hao Guobin's time, the eyes immediately glared up, pointing at Hao Guobin's nose coldly said: "Hao Guobin, you come here …… to ask for a fight?"
Then, Chen Lockzhu and his wife both stood up to Chen Jin to whack a few punches, reprimanded him to sit down, and then let several of us also sit down.
Hao Guobin did not look angry at all, perhaps he is not the kind of person who has a temper at all, right? He just smiled and stopped Chen Lockzhu and his wife from hitting the child first. Then he began to smile and praise us, in front of Chen Lockzhu's two families, the gang of us a lot of praise.
My God, I never knew, also did not think of, we have so many so many advantages, like what we righteousness ah have heroic ah, like what enough men, manhood ah, for friends two ribs ah, in the home to respect parents filial piety old man ah, in the village to respect the old and love the young ah …… from these little things, and then rise to our love of science. The first is that we love science, respect for facts, the courage to dispel superstitions, the face of most of the villagers, dare to step forward, ah, self-reliance, not to mention, but also drive the villagers to do a lot of work, which is the power of the role model ah!
We were all confused. When did we become role models? And we're driving the villagers to work hard? That's bullshit, isn't it?
Hao Guobin immediately explained to us, let us listen to really so. Well, the fact is really, a few of us last winter to catch the yellow wolf, sold a lot of money, even more than a lot of adults make more money; we are busy in the farm, help each other, just a few of us young people's family farm work, is the first to finish the village, a few of us energetic ah, especially when it comes to helping out with buddies work at home ……. This makes the village envious; also, that is our summer eel fishing sold a lot of money thing, also spread in the village ……
Boy, who in the village, young and old, is not jealous? Who is not envious? Who is not jealous?
Then they feel ashamed, well, a few young people, not married to a daughter-in-law, than they are these big men to make money to earn more, and the doorway also want to think of the surprising, think of what to do what ……
In the past, most of the big men in the village in addition to the usual farming, leisure time occasionally except working to earn some money, there are really not a few can be full of energy to work hard to make money, always love to do a bit of work, stay at home to enjoy a few days, drinking wine chatting with the sky, or playing cards.
Now can be good, all feel guilty ah, shame ah, so everyone also go out to work, do small business, anyway, is determined not to be idle. This is not to mention, some a little lazy, at home, also let the wife to the bombardment to rush out to make money, shame not shame ah? Look at the children of Chen Lockzhu's family, look at the children of Zhao Dainiu's family, all better than you!
Said here, a few of us do not know their own last name, how tall and how thick how many pounds, all to forget, really think of themselves as celebrities it.
I kind of understand, why recently the village of the great lords are rarely at home, recently said that the repair of the temple to cover the temple, froze, can not find people, and the village of the quarrel, watching the old man is also less …… feelings all go to make money it.
When we all immersed in the complacency of the time, Chen Lockzhu two mouths are also happy to smile, think their son that can really be interest, if not Chen Lockzhu wife to stop, Chen Lockzhu almost put the family has a large amount of deposits of the matter are shaking out.
Next, people Hao Guobin began to speak out our shortcomings, speak out our shortcomings. But people talk about educating people, that is really level, even picking just said our advantages, one by one to break down, and definitely not directly say where you are not good where wrong. Rather …… on this advantage, a little bit of beauty is what what, if you can correct these, that is simply perfect ……
Look at this, this is a good thing to say.
So that we let each person to reprimand the criticism, but also have to nod and ha ha waist playful smile like a cheap bone can not wait to let people to reprimand like even said yes, and each other also began to criticize the shortcomings, the whole one was the enemy from the inside to the division to the disputes provoked by the Kuomintang team.
Even so, we still have a lot of feelings, think can be considered to meet a confidant, all the people in the village, including parents, are not people Hao Guobin teacher so understand the reasoning, know right and wrong, really hate not to know each other early ah! We even agreed in our hearts, father and mother please as Hao Guobin teacher pro.
At noon that day, Hao Guobin in Chen Lockzhu family of three under the hospitality, finally agreed to stay for dinner. And a few of us, and Hao Guobin teacher is fortunate to sit together, drink some wine, a good nagging.
Speaking of which, you estimate also understand also know, this Chen Jin and a few of us and Hao Guobin's family between the mouth of the contradiction, is completely digested. Still playing the fart ah? Still make a fart ah? If it is not Hao Guobin teacher older than us ten years old, if it is not Chen Jin's parents are still in front of the child, we hate and Hao Guobin teacher hooked back to back to say brother and brother ……
This teacher is also quite capable of drinking, at least a few of us, we can not pick and Hao Guobin teacher can fight over the amount of alcohol.
That day, a few of us all drank in a daze, and even Chen Lockzhu also drank too much. Angry Chen Jinniang that face is red like the sunset like that, fire. In the way of Hao Guobin at home, Chen Jinniang also did not to their own husbands and our gang of young people soar.
After dinner and wine, we were a few drunken send Hao Guobin teacher out of the door, as if it is not yet finished as if, and Hao Guobin must drink some more wine to go. Hao Guobin politely said something that he regretted a lot, that is, "Why don't you go to our house and drink some more?"
It's just what we wanted. Isn't it true that young people don't have a handle on this, and they love to show off? The more you drink, the more you drink, the more you show off that you can still drink, and then drink more than the water of the Busan River, it does not matter, a bubble of urine out.
This is naturally bragging about the big words, but show off the love of drinking, but is the truth.
The good thing is that we are not all drunk, are in a half-drunken state, the head is still awake, so and Hao Guobin together to his home, all see out Hao Guobin a strong sigh of regret.
We asked Hao Guobin, teacher, what is wrong with you? Are you worried that your wife will fight with you if we go to your house to drink? Or we do not go, I heard that you are the village's famous fear of his wife ah!
Hearing this, Hao Guobin immediately flipped, and then sober, he is also a man who drank, that alcohol immediately rushed to the head, waving his hand and roared: "Fear of a ball, that's usually not with her general understanding, good men do not fight with women, really if I temper, she is afraid of me!"
"Aiya, Mr. Hao, you do not say these, we are not unaware." Chen Jin said.
"I, I I …… hum!" Hao Guobin glared, said, "Go, go to our home, see her a stinky bitch dare to put a fart, I also have to let her give us a fried dish, how to say this day is also old brother my daughter-in-law can not afford to you ah, alas ……"
"Where where ……"
"You are welcome."
A few of us shamelessly laughed and followed Hao Guobin to his home.
Hao Guobin really did not say big words, he entered the home, worried that his wife will soar to his embarrassment, to that time in front of our face two quarrel is really a shame. So Hao Guobin into the home, directly into the house with a stern face, rushed to his wife is a roar, the fierce look is completely in the face of class enemies, hate can not put the enemy into the eighteen layers of hell. Hao Guobin also took out his own has always been proud of the always effective killer, such as the future is not honest, immediately, on the rest of his wife.
His wife really afraid, to Hao Guobin obey, but look at us in the eyes, but full of venom, hate can not be all of us killed to feed the dog.
This we do not think, love whoever.
Sure to us fried dishes, Hao Guobin carried two bottles of white wine, he knew that in fact a few people can not drink much, just chatting. He even regretted a few of us to exaggerate to the sky, really think of him Hao Guobin as a confidant.
Chatting, naturally inevitable will talk about a few of us demolition of the temple, this talk up, the topic is far away, from last winter, a few of us to steal the grandmother's temple for meat, has been talking about the demolition of the River God Temple, anyway, is the matter of evil evil things, also told Hao Guobin.
Hao Guobin did not think, he thought we were talking about drunkenness, he would not believe in any case the existence of the so-called evil foreign objects.
Of course, he was embarrassed to point out our superstitious ideas, just talk to us like a family, talked about the origin of the village temple, as well as this is also considered a kind of local culture passed down and so on.
It turns out that no matter which temple in the village, there is a reason for the origin, initially should be traced back to a long, long time ago. At that time, people do not have any cultural knowledge, only know how to respect, venerate, worship and so on. At that time, if there is a natural and man-made disasters, especially some incomprehensible natural phenomena, people will be attributed to the gods and spirits, so people began to gradually fear fear, but at that time, people did not build a temple to worship the idea.
Until the beginning of the human leader, of course, the leader at that time is not today, such as leading millions of people, but a tribe, a village only. When they have a supreme prestige in the minds of the people, after dying of old age, or for the safety of the villagers, etc., after giving their lives …… Of course, we are going to say, naturally, is to make absolutely let the people admire and respect worthy of all the people to remember the matter.
So someone came up with, set up a tablet, so that people will always remember, but this tablet, can not be placed in the wilderness ah, that was placed in the house. Later, a thought or not respectful enough, then you have to get out of a separate house, then people believe in the gods and ghosts, that people as long as they do a lifetime of good deeds, old age and death will become immortal, on the court of heaven, which is why people worship prayers for the deceased, often say in heaven's spirit of the reason.
This is why people tend to talk about the spirits of the deceased when they worship and pray to them. This is also why there were the first shrines.
Later, the people gradually prospered, the people of the ancestors, especially those who had made great contributions to be worshipped in the ancestral hall, more respect, they gave the title of a variety of gods, so this faith and respect, gradually began to infect, diffuse ……
Here there is a shrine for worship, and over there, when they heard of the greatness of this man and the spirituality of this deity, they built the same shrine, and from then on there were temples as well.
Later, after the death of a person worthy of remembrance, people would build temples to commemorate him, and worship him for generations.
After the event is longer and longer, this kind of respect and worship for the temple for the gods created by mankind, gradually began to deteriorate.
Superstitious ideas began to proliferate, the gods and god's more and more numerous, has been to the present day ……
If it is said that superstitious ideas harm people, that in fact, is nothing more than people in the harm, is nothing more than their own lie their own coaxing themselves, to talk about it, are their own personal set in.
Said here, Hao Guobin also lamented, alas, superstitious thinking scourge of people, should be broken, but for the definition of the village temple, can not be alone to superstition to break ah, the Chinese land, thousands of years of this kind of belief in the mind, is not a worthy of preservation of cultural traditions?
If people can face up to this culture, this kind of things handed down, how good it would be?
As the saying goes, "No village without a temple." This is enough to show that the culture of the village temple, in our country has a long history, in the hearts of the majority of farmers, has a deep-rooted faith and respect.
A few of us laughed bitterly, that is, after drinking wine, the mind is not sober, but also understand that this is a teacher ah! He knows a lot.
Unfortunately, he said, ultimately do not understand, this village temple deterioration, there is a great deal of circumstances, and how is not that in the dark in the dark let a person think that does not exist in the evil evil of the foreign body to do it?
Perhaps, Hao Guobin's words are also considered reasonable, if people do not believe in evil spirits, do not worship the village temple, faith is only limited to the respect and worship of the previous, then why would that evil thing greedy scourge of people, forcing people to worship it to offer it? Perhaps, such a thing would not even be there.
According to the "book of foreign lands" scrolls, evil things are many years to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, eating the same kind of essence of the spirit, or even of the sky or born with the spirit of the spirit of the full, it is possible to become an evil thing to survive, there is also a small portion of, because of the birth of the people will be living in the worship of the wonderful word, years and years of enjoying the worship of worship offerings and spiritual beliefs, and gradually, there are more than the unusual spirituality, but also, the evil law.
However, these we do not need to speak clearly with Hao Guobin have to let him have to believe it is not, it is not necessary.
When a few of us drunkenly hooked up with each other to help from Hao Guobin's home out of the time, the sky is late, the western sky is flooded with flaming clouds, the setting sun as a round of red-hot red disk, scattered dazzling red light.
I suddenly thought in my heart, Hu Laoshi and that jiao talk about how?
