Chapter 35: Chopping the Yin Roots
"But how old is my old dad, and he's still talking about destiny and stuff like that?" I asked, when I was young, some fortune tellers would often come over from our side. Give people pinch eight weighing bone fortune-telling and so on, but I feel that these so-called fortune-telling is aimed at small children, because those fortune-telling most often to small children fortune-telling said that this child is what so and so fortune-telling, generally said that the fate of the child, that is, the so-called heavenly child reincarnation of the hijacking.
These sayings in the countryside is very circulating, and the general solution is to let the child go to the temple, recognize all the way to the gods as godfather, worship, and then the fortune-teller and then do a replacement for the puppet to cope with the heavenly errand, the matter is almost over.
And fortune-telling say, these fate generally after twenty-three did not die, even if automatically broken, so even if I had read in my grandfather's notes about my father's peculiar fate of the saying, but did not care. I feel so old, even if it is what should be a hundred not?
"You don't believe in fortune telling when you're old? These things are mysterious and mysterious, true or false, who can say clearly? If you want to say that old age has nothing to do with fate, I'll tell you something I heard some years ago. Do you know about Deng Gong's southern tour? This is something we all know, but before and a friend drink when he told me, when the South Patrol because of Deng Gong year of the year, the North Dragon Xing place but with him, he committed a big life that year, so he chose to South Patrol to avoid the brake, South Patrol when he was how old?" My second uncle said to me.
"Really?" I wondered.
"Who can say?" Second uncle smiled and touched my head, said: "Chop off your old man's finger is how it is, I believe that sooner or later your old man will give you an explanation, he does not blame Lin Bachan know that he is him, you do not think much, and, today called you back in addition to this matter, there is also that we are ready to go to a trip to Shandong, you want to follow along with the go? "
"Or my Xiu'e grandmother that thing?" I asked.
"Yes, people have found, he is not my people, at first I look for him he thought digging to my family's ancestral tomb it, rabbit cubs to hide. Do this line of head are tied to the waistband of the pants to live it, and then I finally seized the person in this guy's old home, ready to let him take me to take a trip to that he dug to the jade pendant of the place." Second uncle said.
"Years a little far, not good to find, besides I really can not understand why this jade pendant will be in a tomb, is this Zhuo Anu that year after taking away Xiu'e grandmother's, he chose to fight backwards to go?" I asked.
"Who knows about this?" Second Uncle laughed bitterly.
"I feel that this matter of going to Shandong is not as reliable as talking about going to that Zhou Dalong who bought the jade pendant." I said.
The second uncle stood up, lit a child cigarette, said: "Who the hell knows that Zhou Dalong is how the matter, before his series of actions seem to be looking for me, but now found me, this calf from the earth evaporated!"
I don't know how to answer, worried about my old man, but can't go back, my old man seldom give orders to me, but give orders I don't dare to refuse, and then in my second uncle's side to make up for the night, this night, the heart is simply millions of grass mud horse galloped through, now I obviously feel that my head is not enough, is really a lot of things to think about, but this night I think about it the most still! Zhuo Anu and Grandma Xiu'e.
According to my understanding of Zhuo Anu, I actually like and even appreciate this character in Grandpa's notes, as long as one reads the description of this Zhuo Anu in Grandpa's notes, one would feel that this person is not simple, first of all, he is an extremely intelligent person, young but possessing the wisdom of a ghost.
Handsome, young, intelligent, unlimited future, this is the label of Zhuo Anu, at that time the leadership and public security appreciate him, I fully believe that if he chose to enter the civil service at that time, by virtue of his ghost ideas, is now certainly a party of the big officials, it is almost undeniable.
But what did he do with this Zhuo Anu, whom Grandpa admired so much that he used the word "imperceptible" to describe him in his notes? Throwing away his future, letting the yellow blossom girl not sleep, screwing a widow, and even eloping with the widow, this gives the impression that this person is stupid.
Even if this is a love-struck man, not stupid. –But if his ending with Grandma Xiu'e was to live on together in a place where no one knew him, that would still seem to be a good ending, but his jade pendant appeared in an ancient tomb, which meant that this Zhuo'anu really had something else in mind.
In Grandpa's notes, that word, is still used accurately, imperceptible.
I fell asleep in this thinking, sleep to the morning time because really worried about my old man, breakfast did not eat ran back home, to the home, my mother in the quiet pounding herbs, my grandmother is over there in tears.
Old dad who was removing the gauze on his hand saw me, blinked a few times at me, signaling my grandmother and my old lady, I understood what he meant, it was about to be hidden from these two women at home so that they wouldn't be worried, I just pretended to be unaware of it and asked, "Dad, how's the hand?"
"Not bad." My old dad said.
"You're a very old man, you're still so careless, you can hit a tree even when riding a tricycle, you're still not as steady as three or two." My grandmother nagged at one side, I looked at my old man, his expression is also a little unnatural, it seems that he came back to lie, saying that he was riding a tricycle and broke his finger, I didn't dismantle her, according to my grandma's temperament, let her know the truth that she will be worried about not to say that, this old lady will definitely make a chopper to find Lin Bachan to fight for her life.
My mother put the herbal medicine on the old dad wound, wrapped the bandage, now although there will still be blood oozing out, but compared to last night's blood flow has been a lot better, such as bandaging finished, while my mother and my grandmother in the kitchen busy time, I pulled the old man to my room, I sat down to the bed, then looked at him and said: "How is the matter, tell me? "
"You interrogating a prisoner?" My pops said with a blank look at me.
I stood up and held him down on the edge of the bed as well and sat down, saying, "Dad, just tell me, it's got me worried to death don't you know?"
"That Lin Bachan you called over, in the future you should not be in contact, can't afford to mess with." My old dad but said to me.
"What I want to ask is about him chopping off your fingers!" I said.
"Chopping off the Yin root, this is what I feel that Lin Bachan is powerful, in fact, in the aftermath of He Zhenzhen's departure there were almost ten years, he gave a letter to your grandpa, saying that he had found a way to my special destiny, it was because I was destined to be involved in the Yin world, and it was a huge karma, and if you want to be like this, you have to pull the demonic energy in my body to my fingers, ten fingers connected to my heart, and ten fingers connected to the root as well. Want to save me, only this one way, but to pull the evil spirit to the root of the finger He real people can not see through, can not say that the ten fingers are chopped up is not it? So He Zhengrong once said in the letter, if he can reach the time when he can set the finger, he will come back to a trip." My old man said.
"And then?" I asked.
"Then Real He never came back, what does that mean? He Zhengen couldn't be sure which finger he could pull the demonic energy to correctly, so he didn't come back, but this Lin Bachan, he did it, and more importantly, he's still so young, think about it, if He Zhengen is still alive now, he's a hundred years old, and Lin Bachan is only how old? This person, his skills are almost divine." My old man said.
"So how do you feel about it now?" I asked.
My old dad smiled bitterly, "No other feeling, just fucking pain, real pain."
"Serves you right, I always feel like you're being punked." I said, although the mouth said so, but I have to admire that Lin Bachi, I can not believe him, but I can not not believe He Zhenzhen, He Zhenzhen has a way to own but not enough power, Lin Bachi but used He Zhenzhen's method, my old dad is right, this Lin Bachi, young, but even better than the He Zhenzhen, it is really unimaginable. Shouldn't the supreme masters on TV be gray-haired and pale, similar to the likes of He Zhenran?
Most importantly, this Lin Bachan was really handsome, and with that cold temperament, he was simply drunk.
"This person is very powerful, so remember not to interact with him anymore." My old dad said once again.
