Anecdote of the Northeast

After that, I happily set off firecrackers with a bunch of little kids. My elder brothers who had already married and started a business, those who played cards played cards, and those who chatted, and I was disliked everywhere I went.

As a young man who is at least five years behind them and has not yet graduated to enter the society, I really can't talk to them, but what does it mean to send me out to take care of the children!

Zhou Xiaoxiao didn't pester me to set off fireworks for her this year. The main reason is that she has a new toy, a one-meter-high doll's house, which is completely owned by her, and no one is going to grab it from her.

When the clock strikes midnight, accompanied by the ringing of "Unforgettable Tonight" at the Spring Festival Gala, this year will be over, and the family's more than a dozen little children have been coaxed to sleep by the adults at home. As for me, there is nothing wrong, I simply went to bed too. In fact, if I followed the previous practice, I could follow my brothers and watch them play cards. As their tea boy, I could get a pocket money.

Now, brother is also able to support himself, so save that pocket money for others to earn.

I lay on the bed, took out my phone when I had nothing to do, and read the messages on it boredly. As a result, I saw a text message of New Year's greetings from Wu Yuan.

Thinking about it now, this kid is quite fashionable. Back then, he knew how to send text messages to celebrate the New Year.

I looked at the time. At that time, I was leading a group of monkeys to set off fireworks, so I didn't see it.I quickly started sending text messages, explaining that I didn't mean not to reply, but I really didn't see it.

It took less than 2 minutes to send the text message, and there was a message back to me.

"It's okay, I was just posting for fun, I didn't expect you to reply."

I'm going, what does this mean, do you look down on my buddy? When I thought about it, I seemed to have indeed forgotten to call him for New Year's greetings. It's too dishonest to do this.

I have to explain quickly so that there is no misunderstanding.

So I picked up some points and said that I need to write a statement on New Year's Eve and report my performance to the heavenly court. I have been busy with this for a long time, and then I brought a bunch of monkey children to become the monkey king. Dangdang has some private time.

Wu Yuan seemed to accept my explanation, and then he chatted with me about his Chinese New Year events, and I also posted some northern Chinese New Year events.

The two of us texted for an unknown amount of time, and then I fell asleep with my phone in hand.

In the dream, I saw my master, sitting in a beautiful yard, with a hot wine jug and a plate of sauerkraut dumplings on the tree roots next to him.

Uh, dumplings are just wine, the more you drink, the more delicious it is, and my master can still enjoy it.

But why there are three wine glasses, and I only have two people. Could it be that my master invited someone else.

"Master, are you buying me a drink?"

I smiled and leaned over, happily sat aside, and poured myself a glass.

"Heavenly Court has given an official reply, Chuan'er, do you know what you did in your previous lives?"

I have been waiting for a long time, just want to know how many more years I can live, why is my master still playing this with me?

I scratched my head, "I roughly heard the old man of the Hui family say that he was a scholar, and then taught and educated people in his hometown, but he met bandits and died protecting a few children; Weak, giving porridge and medicine every year, but he still didn’t live to be 20 years old; he was an official for three generations, but his family fell into ruin, and then he became an apprentice in a pharmacy. .Well, it seems that she has been a woman, and she has never lived past the age of 20."

Listen, is there anyone worse than me? I feel worried when I hear it, how miserable it is.

"Well, everything has a root cause. You can't have this kind of thing happen for no reason."

As soon as I heard it, I understood that what the co-author teacher meant was that once I had a big death, it became the pattern that I will die young in the next few lives.

"Master, just say it straight. Think about what I did back then to get me to where I am today. Don't worry, my heart will definitely stand the test."

I drank a glass of white wine vigorously, put the glass on the tree stump vigorously, and looked at my master with a look of death.

My master sighed, then put down the wine glass in his hand, looked at me, and said, "You used to be a very talented Taoist priest."

I nodded blankly, because I am learning now, so I am not surprised that I have been a Taoist priest, but why haven't I heard the old gray man mention it?

"Your life as a Taoist priest can be regarded as amazing talent. You started to go down the mountain to eliminate demons and defend the Tao when you were a teenager. Your merits and virtues are in your body." At this point, my master looked at me with a very special look.

I looked at myself, I was wearing a sweater and wool trousers, I was already lying down to sleep, so I didn’t wear a coat, my image was indeed a bit unsatisfactory, but my master had never picked this on me before.

"Later, you fell in love with a woman, a very special woman."

I raised my head. Is it strange to like a woman, or is there a problem with that woman's identity, can't she be a fox fairy?

"That woman originally grew up with his cousin's childhood sweetheart, and their friendship is extraordinary, but the two of them don't know why, as long as the two families mention their marriage contract, an elder in the family will die. Then they find someone to tell their fortunes, but They are the resentful lovers of the seventh generation, and they are destined to have no share."

I twitched the corners of my mouth, thinking that I was also an unlucky person back then. I have been entangled with him for seven lifetimes just to be together, and it has nothing to do with you.

"I won't die for love, right? Didn't I do anything to snatch a wife or assassinate a rival?" Now I know why I haven't been able to find a partner, and I have done such outrageous things.

But my master shook his head, "That's not true."

I breathed a sigh of relief, it's fine if I didn't, otherwise I would look down on myself a little bit.

"You love that woman, and you can't bear her to be sad every day, so you thought of a way to get them together."

Uh, this is considered a good deed, I thought suspiciously.

"This method is very overbearing. It is not a righteous method, but a kind of sorcery. To use this kind of sorcery, people need to use their lifespan as an introduction. Those two people can't be together for seven lives, and they are already full of resentment. The normal lifespan is not enough. , So, you burned your lifespan in the next few lives and cast this sorcery."

I listen, why do I feel special, uh, what should I say, I was a lover in my previous life?

"Although it's best that the two have lived together for a few years, no matter what, the soaring grievances have indeed been resolved, and you have gained great merit because of it."

I asked my master in a low voice, "Is this the beginning of my glorious nine generations of benevolent people?"

My master looked at me and nodded, "This is the beginning of your nine generations of benevolent people. It's not all fruitless, those two were originally little immortals in the sky, and there was trouble when they descended to the mortal world, and your appearance, Help them go through the catastrophe smoothly. This time, when you go to heaven, those two people will know about you immediately. After communicating with the above, brother Ma, in the future, as long as you complete the meritorious tasks every year, you can get the corresponding life span until you are 90 Years old, no more can be added."

When I heard it, this was longer than my life span before, so I earned it.

As for my career as a magic stick, I have to work until retirement. I don't have any feelings, and I think it's time to use my spare heat.

"Then master, how much life can I prolong this time?"

My master stretched out his right hand and shook it, "Five years."

Five years, so I still hope to retire at the age of 60 and die.

After that, my master and I chatted about our daily life, and then we talked about the ancient tomb I went to last time and my trophies.

My master is very interested in the bone, "If you say it, it should be a kind of sorcery handed down from the Spring and Autumn Period. At that time, although dragons were noble, they were not as popular as in later dynasties. Creating a dragon-like thing is not such a treasonous thing.

However, in the eyes of the Dragon Clan, it was extremely provocative.All because the main ingredient of the sorcery is a real keel.The Dragon Clan has always been proud, so why not be angry that the corpse of this clan was trampled on like this.Therefore, anyone who creates such evil things will be tortured by burning fire after death, and only by being reincarnated as an animal for the fifth life can his sins be washed away.

If this thing is created, it has the ability to absorb other people's life, which is very harmful.

As for Ni Lin, it is also a foreign object produced during the production of this evil object. "

Speaking of this, my master suddenly paused, and then said to me, "Brother Ma, what use are you for that bone?"

I thought about it, then shook my head, "Master, I just know it's a good thing, but I really don't know what it can be used for. However, I was wondering if I should find a guy to do it to me. As soon as I went out, I didn’t have anything in my hand, and I felt cold when I saw it, and I didn’t know what to do.”

My master smiled and nodded, "You rascal, since that's the case, you give me that bone, and I'll go and exchange it for you."

When I heard it, it was a good thing.

You said that thing is in my hand, I don't know how to use it, what it can do, I can only put it there.

But it’s the same for my master, he can give me back something I can use.

"Master, you are troubled. Help the apprentice exchange something that can defend himself. I am borrowing flowers to present Buddha, thank you."

I quickly stood up, poured a glass of wine for my master, and patted my master's ass carefully.

My master nodded in satisfaction, "You put the things on the altar tomorrow, wrap them in the red cloth, and put incense sticks on me, and I'll know."

Afterwards, my master drove me away, saying that his friend was coming and it was inconvenient for me to be here.

I'm naturally not the kind of person who gets to the bottom of it. Since my master won't let me see it, I'll go back straight away. It's been a toss for half the night. I don't know how long I can sleep when I go back.

The truth is, I only slept for three hours before I was woken up by three little bastards in the same room.

One pinched my nose, another gagged my mouth, and a little bastard even hid my shoes. The only good thing is that these three little bastards are all in school, so they won't wet the bed and blame me body.

I asked Hui Xiaobao to help me find the shoes, and then went to the hut where the immortals lived, took out the bones, wrapped the bones with a red scarf that my aunt used to have, and solemnly After burning the incense, after a while, the bone disappeared in front of my eyes. I knew that it was taken away by my master.

After everything was settled, I was relieved and ran to the kitchen in high spirits to see if there was anyone who needed my help.

As a result, there were too many people in the kitchen, and there was no place for me to display my talents. I could only carry the two little ghosts who ran to the kitchen to steal food, and returned to the living room, waiting for dinner.

My sister Zhou Xiaoxiao came to the living room rubbing her eyes at this time, holding a Barbie doll in a small skirt in her hand.

Seeing me, she ran over happily and chatted with me about her doll.

Conscience of heaven and earth, why does the little girl like to tell me these things, I obviously said seriously that I like Transformers.

But it wasn't long before I started eating, which rescued me from the fantasy world of Barbie dolls.

For the next two days, it was eating, eating, and eating in various homes.

When it was the ninth day of the ninth day, when our family was about to go back, my grandpa suddenly called me aside, took out a small box from a well-hidden cabinet, opened the small box, and inside were a few pictures of my family. A photo of my grandfather when he was in the army.

"Grandpa, do you miss Brother Dagang and the others again, or should I let them chat with you?"

My great-grandpa waved his hand, "No need, I know that with my body, I will be able to get together with them in a few years, so I'm not in a hurry.

Da Chuan, the paintings you drew for our brothers during the Chinese New Year are very good.I just thought about it, our third company back then never had a family portrait, so I just thought about it, let you draw one for me, these are all photos of my old comrades in arms. "

As for the life expectancy of my great-grandfather, I am actually the one who knows the most details in the whole family.

Zhao Dagang and the others have checked it out a long time ago. Both of my grandfathers did not have a good life for a few years, but both of them had a lot of children and grandchildren before they were alive, and they participated in the War of Resistance.

But Leng Buding heard my great-grandfather's words, and my heart was still very uncomfortable, sore, and my eyes were uncomfortable.

I looked at these old photos, and one of them was still stained with blood. How should I put it, I felt uncomfortable.

"It's done, grandpa, don't worry, I will start painting when I get back, and I will definitely satisfy you."

My grandpa smiled happily, and patted my shoulder vigorously, "My grandson is still filial." He said, and took out a red envelope from his pocket, which was quite thick. I looked at it, at least ten tickets .

"I heard that the drawing paper and paint you bought are quite expensive. Grandpa can't let you spend money. This is the material fee for you."

I hurriedly put it off. Now, I’m using the old man for this canvas. As for the paint, I sometimes buy it myself, and sometimes I get it from my big brother Deng Guoping. Don’t mention it, I haven’t spent money on it for a while.

Seeing that I was delaying, my grandpa was very upset. Later, my cousin of my grandpa’s family saw it and put the red envelope into my hand, saying that it was my extra red envelope this year, so I was embarrassed to accept it. down.

As the school was approaching, my mother's belly was bulging, and I stepped into the car away from home with a stomach full of worries.

To be honest, I was worried that my sister would starve because of my dad's cooking ability.
