Chapter 17 Caijia Town
The next morning, after breakfast, I walked to the front of the car, pressed the remote control, the headlight flashed, the door lock was opened, Liu Ye was the first to get into the passenger seat, and I opened the rear door and sat in the rear seat. Daya looked at us, and sat in the driver's seat.
Big teeth sat down and looked left and left, and his mouth was about to flip: "The Volvo XC60 has a maximum speed of 210 mph. The engine is inline 6 cylinders, turbocharged, and all-wheel drive. It was unveiled at the Volvo booth at the Beijing International Auto Show at the beginning of this year. This model, known as the safest model in Volvo in history, is said to be officially sold in my country at the end of this year. I didn't expect that Boss Wang has made such a big deal, and this car can be brought in from abroad."
After waiting for a long time, I didn’t see any movement in Daya, and I didn’t start the air car. I just kept looking at it. I was puzzled and shouted to Daya: “Daya, what are you looking at? I was so stupid that I still don’t know the way? I just got on National Highway 102 and kept going east?"
Daya nodded, and then said a little embarrassedly: "I know, but I can't drive?"
These words made the willow leaves drinking water so much that they almost couldn't get angry, and I was so angry that I couldn't laugh or cry.
I patted Liu Ye's back and scolded her big teeth: "You said you, you can't drive, you can pretend to be a big-tail wolf, and you're like an expert to tell us this and that, like an enthusiast. Look at you and sit in the driver's position. Do you think there are many instruments there, which means high technology?"
Daya smiled and said, "I see that no one of you is sitting in this position, so I came up to experience it. I have read it in magazines, but I have never seen it. Besides, whether you love cars or whether you can drive is a different matter. You can't be a spacecraft, do you?" After saying that, he got out of the car, opened the back door, squeezed up, and said to me, "What are you looking at? You can't go down and drive! Are you waiting for someone to beg you? What are you doing?"
As soon as Daya finished speaking, I scratched my head and lowered my head and whispered: "Actually, I have been working hard to learn, but now I am still in the theoretical research stage."
After saying this, Liuye, who had just recovered, almost choked again, and she was so happy that tears were almost coming out.
Finally, she relied on her slimness to step over from the passenger seat, sat in the driver's seat, started the car skillfully, and turned around and said to us: "Okay, I'm convinced you two big men. You can't even drive a car. Are you still a modern young man? Be old, give me the way."
The car turned around in a daze and drove away.
This little episode made the itinerary much easier. No one in the car mentioned how to get a grave and autopsy, as if they were deliberately avoiding it. Originally, Siping was not very far from our village. In less than fifty minutes, they arrived on the town, so they drove off the national highway and drove along the country road.
I haven't come back for more than ten years, and there have been many changes here. Many new high-rise buildings have been built in the town, no longer as they were before. I can't find any shadow of the past. But as soon as I drove to the country road, less than 200 meters, the familiar feeling suddenly came to my face. The poplar forests on both sides of the road, the uphill and downhill, the small bridge in my memory, everything seemed to be twenty years ago, without any change, and I suddenly felt a lot of thoughts and felt a little moved.
Less than ten minutes after driving down the country road, I saw the familiar old house at the entrance of the village. The village was a little larger than before and many new houses were built. I asked Liu Ye to stop the car at the entrance of the village, turned off the fire, and then the three of them walked into the village.
It was noon, and wisps of smoke from cooking, chickens crowing and dogs barking.
For many years, I have been accustomed to the high-rise buildings, bustling traffic, and hustle and bustle of the city, but what I can't forget is the curling smoke of cooking stoves and the red bricks and tiles. The noon sunshine is reflected on the snow, which is particularly dazzling. The unique atmosphere of the countryside is refreshing and very comfortable.
I saw some children running and jumping in the snow, playing happily, just like a time machine replaying the scene from twenty years ago. However, although it was still in the countryside, the children were wearing ready-made clothes, not the hand-sewn coarse cloth gowns we used to sew.
My grandfather passed away a few years ago. Some relatives in the village were distant second aunts. They said they were distant, but they were not very far away. They were my grandfather’s younger brother’s daughter, and my second daughter. Because they lived in the same village when they were young, they were very friendly, but they had no contact for more than ten years.
I walked around the village and came to an old house. When I saw this old house, I still retained the appearance of it twenty years ago. There were only a few weeds on the roof. I walked in front and pushed open the fence door with my hands, walked in with my big teeth and willow leaves.
In rural areas, there is no habit of knocking on the door, and most people just push the door and enter.
When I opened the door, I saw an old lady with gray hair, thin and black hair, and an apron around her waist, cooking.
I haven't seen her for so many years. My second aunt obviously saw her old age. When the old lady saw us and her group entered the house, she was stunned for a moment and asked who we were looking for.
I walked closer and said loudly, "Second aunt, I am Lailiang, it is Lailiang."
The second aunt looked at me carefully for a while, and after a long time, she recognized me. She immediately smiled happily and kept wiping her hands with the apron at her waist. She quickly let us enter the room, muttering constantly: "I have grown so old, I can't recognize me."
Daya entered the house and grinned at Ergu and smiled: "Erniang, I am Cheng Yada. I used to be from the old Cheng family in the east end of the village. They all called me Daya. I always got along with Lai Liang, do you still know me?"
The second aunt looked at Daya, patted Daya on the back and said, "Oh, Daya, you are so handsome. Oh, we are all old, you are all grown up."
The second aunt looked back at Liu Ye, looked at him for a long time, and said in a little puzzled manner: "Whose girl is this?"
I quickly introduced to my second aunt and told me that Liu Ye is my friend and a writer, and came to the countryside to experience life here.
Er Aunt didn't ask much, poured us a glass of water, and then pulled out a basket from under the cabinet in the kang, which contained melon seeds fried in the countryside for us to eat. We thanked him for a while, and told Er Aunt to stop working and sit down and chat.
I haven't seen each other for more than ten years, so I couldn't stop talking while sitting on the kang.
Yizhen didn't see his second uncle. After asking, he realized that he was running a bulldozer and digging soil in the brick factory in the village. He was over 60 years old and had a strong body. He usually worked on the field during busy farming, and when he was free, he went to the brick factory in the village to do some work. The second uncle's family is living in this village pretty well now. But as the second aunt talked, she stopped talking, so she stopped talking.
We were in the mood for a while. As soon as we saw this, we knew that there might be some difficulties. We asked my second aunt if something happened? Is there any difficulties?
Second aunt sighed and told me that it was not a big deal to say this, but I couldn't understand what it was. My second aunt suddenly said that her head hurt a few months ago. Second aunt thought that she was having a cold and ignored it. Unexpectedly, she suddenly fell from the edge of the brick factory pit a few days ago. She fell so hard that she went to the sanitary center to hang the drip.
I also found it a little strange, so I asked my second aunt if I had been to the hospital for examination.
The second aunt told us that after the examination, there was no disease, but he always said he was dizzy.
I lowered my head and thought for a while, looked up and said to my second aunt, "Second aunt, I also know some Feng Shui. This is a bit strange. Needless to say, your old house was the place I chose back then. I guess this happened to the ancestral tomb of the cemetery house. Was it a mistake for the second aunt's ancestral tomb?"
When the second aunt heard what I said, she shook her head: "Oh, after your grandfather left, no one in this village understood this, who knows!"
The three of us originally wanted to go to the grave circle to take a look, and took the opportunity to take a look, so we took the initiative to come and take a look.
When the second aunt saw me say this, she didn't say anything. She just found a scarf, tied it up for a while and went out with us and brought the door. Generally, there are few doors locked in rural areas. They have their own vegetable garden in front of the house. The garden has a fence door made of wood nails. Just bring the fence door and use iron wire to symbolically distinguish it, which is basically enough.
After walking for a while, I arrived at the grave circle again.
Looking at this grave circle, weeds are growing and desolate. The old black-eyed tree and the scattered gravel are basically the same as they were twenty years ago, but there are some new graves, which look much denser than the previous graves.
As soon as I walked in, I felt a special feeling and couldn't tell what it was. Liu Ye was much more courageous than I thought, but she couldn't tell that she was afraid. She followed us naturally and looked around curiously.
Under the leadership of the second aunt, he walked around and walked to a large tomb in the middle of the grave circle. This tomb should be a joint tomb. It looked quite big. The second aunt brought it here, stopped, looked back at me and said, "Here, it's this place, you can just show it."
I asked Daya, Liuye and Ergu to stand aside, and then I checked it carefully.
I am actually in the theoretical stage of observing graves and cutting off the tombs, and I rarely have practical opportunities. Now there are public cemeteries in the city, and cremation is implemented. I don’t really care about the feng shui of the cemetery. Fortunately, my grandfather has told me a lot since I was a child, and I am already familiar with many things. It’s really a different environment. With my level, I don’t know if I can cut off the situation.
I understand Feng Shui in the Yin House, just like a person who practices hard in seclusion. I have practiced martial arts alone for more than ten years, but I have never competed with others. I don’t actually know what level of my kung fu is.
