Chapter 86 Fortune Telling

Chen Yang wasn't originally called Chen Yang, but Chen Yanyan. Such a name that didn't suit his tall, handsome and masculine appearance was chosen by a knowledgeable old man in the village.

In other words, when Chen Yang was born that day, his grandmother saw that he was a grandson with a handle, and she was overjoyed. She immediately ran to the shrine and lit a stick of incense. , I picked up the newborn Chen Yang and went to the street a few miles away to look for those fortune-tellers to put on a horoscope.

It is also one of the traditions in Chen Yang's place to find a fortune-teller to approve a child's horoscope after birth. When the fortune-teller sees the child coming, they usually pick up some auspicious and pleasant words, so that those parents who hope their children will become dragons and daughters will become phoenixes If you are satisfied, you will be happier and more generous when you give money.

Chen Yang's grandma found the most famous fortune-teller in the local area, so it can be said that she was straightforward.

This fortune teller named Mao Laoxian held a broken book and pinched Chen Yang's horoscope. He counted for a long time. The more he counted, the more he frowned. Chen Yang's grandma waited beside him for a while, watching his expression Feeling heavy, he hugged his sleeping grandson tightly in worry, "Master Mao, what is the fate of my grandson?"

Mr. Mao raised his head first, looked at Chen Yang, who was still in his infancy, and shook his head, "Your grandson's life is too hard. Among the horoscopes, Jinde accounts for five, and there is a natural evil spirit in his eyebrows and eyes. He is a murderous person." The heavy weight was thrown into the womb of your daughter-in-law, and she was born at noon on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, when the yang energy was at its heaviest.

With such a remark, Chen Yang's grandma's eyes were blackened.She was holding the little grandson in her hand. She was unsteady and almost fell to the ground. Lao Mao quickly supported her, and the shaking woke up Chen Yang. Before he opened his eyes, he clenched his little fist and cried loudly stand up.

Grandma Chen coaxed her grandson and wiped the tears from her face. She begged Mr. Mao, "Master Mao, you can do the math again, and then do the math again. How can it be possible? Our Chen family finally got such a seedling." , how can it be?"

Mao Lao waved his hand first, "You can only count your life once, and the more you count, the worse it will be."

Grandma Chen couldn't beg Mr. Mao, so she had no choice but to walk out the door with her little grandson in her arms.

After going out, Grandma Chen hugged Chen Yang and went to the other fortune tellers on the street. Although the neighbors and towns said that Mr. Mao was accurate, but everyone would stumble, so she thought, since Mr. Mao If she doesn't want to help her grandson do the calculation again, then go find someone else. Her grandson has a square head and a big face, how can he be that kind of fate!

Strange to say, on that day, Grandma Chen went to all the fortune tellers' houses on the street, and all the fortune tellers said with one voice that her newly-born grandson was the fate of the six relatives.

Grandma Chen staggered out of the last fortune-teller's house, her face was ashen and ashamed, like a concubine, and when it was dark, she carried Chen Yang, who was so hungry and crying, back home.

Chen Yang's mother, who was still lying on the bed, looked at Chen Yang, whose face was flushed from crying, and became a little angry with her mother-in-law. She took the baby outside just after it was born, and just went. Everyone did this, but how could there be a family? Did you take the child outside for a whole day, starving like this?Could it be that her mother-in-law is so happy that she fainted!

She unbuttoned her clothes to feed Chen Yang, and patted Chen Yang's back, who was a little choking from drinking too quickly, and then called Chen Yang's father who sat aside and watched their mother and child foolishly happy to cook.

Before the meal was served, Grandma Chen, who was in a trance and had been absent, jumped up suddenly, snatched Chen Yang from Chen Yang's mother, and said, "I'll take him to Donglao Look at the house first, you eat first, and leave me alone." Chen Yang's mother said "ah" a few times, but couldn't get out of bed, and could only watch helplessly as her mother-in-law took her son away again.

Grandma Chen ran to Dong Laoxian's house, knocked on the door, and knelt down in the main room.

Mr. Dong was still young at that time, about forty years old, but he already had a thin yellow face, triangular eyes, more white than dark eyes, wearing a half-new taoist uniform, with the corners of his eyes hanging down, walking slowly Sitting quietly on the armchair at the top of the main room, he looked at Grandma Chen calmly.

Grandma Chen kowtowed to him, and took out a paper bag. It was heavy inside, and she didn't know what it was. Elder Dong took the paper bag over first, weighed it in his hand, and then turned to Grandma Chen. Shaking his head, it means that this is not enough.

Grandma Chen didn't say much, but tremblingly took out another cloth bag wrapped in a transparent plastic bag, three layers on the left and three layers on the right, and handed it to Elder Dong. First, Elder Dong took it over first, touched it with his hand, and finally nodded in satisfaction.

Grandma Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down on the ground. She put Chen Yang, who was full and asleep, on the altar in the main room. Then, Elder Dong waved his hand first, "Go out first, I'll do it the other way." When it's time, outsiders can't see it."

Grandma Chen walked out the door step by step, turning her head three times, and closed the door of the main room.

There was no sound inside, only the flickering lights were exposed from the gap under the door, and after an unknown amount of time, Grandma Chen heard Chen Yang let out a short cry, which made her feel panicked and clasped her hands incessantly. Pray with the ghosts, gods and immortals in all directions, and the ancestors of the family.

I don't know how long it took, the moon has risen, the night wind blows like a cool, everything around is quiet, only the pagoda trees and willows planted next to Mr. Dong's house, the branches are shaking, and the trees are full of shadows , seems to have moved.

At this time, the door creaked and opened gently.

Elder Dong hugged Chen Yang first, and stood at the gate. Grandma Chen walked up to him immediately, and asked without thinking, "Master Dong, are you ready?" Elder Dong nodded first, and handed Chen Yang He gave it back to his grandma, "This child will be called Chen Yanyan from now on. Three fires turn into flames, and fire can overcome gold, and can crush his life."

Grandma Chen carried Chen Yang back home. When Chen Yang's mother was arranging her son's clothes, she found a cloth strip with the words "Chen Yanyan" and "birthday" written on it. This is the horoscope that Grandma Chen gave to Chen Yang after running outside for a day, and she carefully put it in the closet compartment.

Therefore, Chen Yang had the name Chen Yanyan first, and when he got older and understood human affairs, he began to understand that the name was effeminate. He told his grandma and his mother several times that he wanted to change his name. They were all rejected, and Chen Yang had no choice but to accept his fate for the time being.

After all, he still didn't follow the horoscope approved by Mr. Mao first, and completely suppressed all six relatives.

However, after he was born, Chen Yang's mother also conceived two children, but none were born. Later, Chen Yang's mother thought about it and stopped asking for more sons or daughters. Therefore, Chen Yang became his one The rare only child in his life, he has been loved and loved by his family since he was a child.

The days suddenly jumped to when Chen Yang was 14 years old.

At that time, Chen Yang had already grown to 1.7 meters. He was tall, strong, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. I dare to bet that I ran to the barren graveyard in the middle of the night and yelled.

In the past two years, many things have happened to the Chen family.

It started with Chen Yang riding a bicycle to school that day. The children in their area could still be at home when they were in elementary school, but they had to go to the town when they were in junior high school, so every household prepared for their children. a bicycle.

Chen Yang's bike was newly bought. The original one, which he had ridden for more than a year, was torn to pieces. On the way to the town, he would pass a cemetery with dozens of burial buns. , Standing sparsely on a small hill, there are not many trees on that small hill.Probably because they were afraid that the grown trees would be too tall and block the sight of the ancestors from seeing the scenery, so those younger generations either cut down those trees or cut off the canopy.

Chen Yang's grades were not high or low. After finishing junior high school, he didn't plan to continue his studies. His family had already said that after he graduated from junior high school, he would be sent to the city to learn how to repair cars. If he had a skill in cooking, he would be able to please him in the future. In life, Chen Yang has no opinion on the arrangement of his family. If his father hadn't forced him to finish junior high school, he wouldn't even miss junior high school.

In the past few days, he skipped classes every three days because he met someone who could hunt in the mountains.

This man, Uncle Wu, holds a few iron clips and an earthen gun all year round. First, he finds a few places where wild rabbits and roe deer appear and set up the iron clips, and then he wanders around in the mountains with the earthen gun. After a day, he can more or less catch one or two kinds of prey, usually rabbits, and now there are more rabbits in the mountains, and he has also shot big wild boars, Chen Yang was very interested in these things at that time —Which boy would not be interested in this?

Chen Yang happened to skip class that day, so he made a bet with a few classmates that if he dared to go to the barren cemetery alone for a day, they would each lose 20 yuan to him, and they would invite him to the game hall in the town Play for a while until he doesn't want to play anymore. When Chen Yang heard it, he was immediately happy, and walked to that place without saying a word.

The deserted cemetery is near the school, and it can be seen from the window of their classroom. Chen Yang climbed to the cemetery and waved at his classmates. Shouting, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, it didn't stop until the head teacher was attracted.

By the time the head teacher followed suit and looked out the window, Chen Yang had already hid.

It was the scorching summer at this time, and there were grave buns all around, so Chen Yang found a tree and lay down under the shade. Normally, no one would dare to come to this mountain, except for some blood from the nearby middle school. , the boys who came to test their courage, but some of those boys didn't dare to come a second time after they came here once. When asked why, they all refused to say anything with pale faces.

Others also thought they were timid and frightened, and would laugh at them more or less about this matter.

What can we encounter?Chen Yang lay in the shade of a tree, dozing off.

He yawned, and when his tears were about to flow, he saw a man sneaking around in front of a grave, not knowing what he was doing. Chen Yang was bored, and when he saw this, he immediately became excited. With his back bent, he followed secretly, and slapped the man on the shoulder, "Uncle Wu, what are you doing here?"

Uncle Wu is a man in his fifties. Because of the wind and sun, his skin is black and red. He has never been married in his life. He guards three earth-tile houses. He feeds his family and lives without hunger. Looking at Zhangjia Village in the countryside.

Uncle Wu was taken aback by him, "You brat, I chased the rabbit for a long time, and I was almost scared away by you." Chen Yang came to his senses, and followed him to a hole in the earth in front of the grave. , "In here?" Uncle Wu nodded, "The ones that just went in, I'll find a way to drive them out."

Chen Yang stood up, thought for a while, and laughed a few times, "I'll think of a way, it will definitely work."

He took Uncle Wu and went to the mountain to find some dead grass and branches that had been thoroughly sun-dried, and piled them in front of the earth hole, and put some wet branches and sticks on top of the dry firewood, and set up a fire. After a while, billowing thick smoke rose, and Chen Yang took a branch full of big leaves and fanned it beside the fire.

Uncle Wu stood by the side, keeping an eye on the mouth of the hole, waiting for the nest of rabbits to get out of it.

Sure enough, a fat and big wild rabbit came out of the earth hole, and was caught by Uncle Wu who was guarding beside him. After being caught, Uncle Wu gave Chen Yang a thumbs up, but Chen Yang He accepted his compliment unceremoniously, and his subordinates became more active. There was more than one wild rabbit, and after a while, another one ran out.

That day, they caught three wild rabbits, which was considered a bumper harvest. Uncle Wu gave one of the fatter rabbits to Chen Yang, and Chen Yang took it without hesitation. After the fire was almost extinguished, they went down the mountain together.

After Chen Yang and the others left, another wild rabbit emerged from the hole in the earth.

This wild rabbit was bigger and fatter than the one in Chen Yang's hand, and it probably weighed twenty or thirty catties. After the wild rabbit came out, it walked around the fire a few times, and looked at the backs of Chen Yang and the others going down the mountain. Then, it stood on its hind legs. Standing up, the short forelegs pointed towards the grave, towards the four directions, towards Chen Yang and the others, and kowtowed one by one.

The movements of this wild rabbit are too humane. If someone is around, they will be scared to death.

Chen Yang came home with the rabbit and was praised by his grandma and his mother. His mother took the rabbit and went to the kitchen. His grandma asked him where he got it. I told his grandma about it, and his grandma listened, and slapped him on the back, "I told you many times, don't go to such an evil place, why don't you listen."

Chen Yang squatted in front of his grandma with a playful smile, "Grandma, I just went to help out when I saw Uncle Wu, I didn't go first by myself, and it's noon, so it's okay." He bet himself on going to the graveyard with others It's hidden, if his grandma finds out about it, it's definitely not as simple as taking a photo. His grandma will definitely tell his father and ask him to teach him a lesson.

After all, Grandma Chen was still spoiled by her grandson, and after a few more words, she let Chen Yang go.

This matter, just like that.

A year later, when Chen Yang's parents were visiting relatives outside, there was a car accident, and the husband and wife died on the spot. After hearing the bad news, Grandma Chen wailed and ran to the door of Mr. Dong's house, banging Door.

Mr. Dong didn't even open the door, and said through the door, "It's destined, you can escape for a while, but you can't escape for a lifetime. More than ten years ago, I helped your grandson change his life. Your son and your daughter-in-law, If I lived for 15 more years and enjoyed my family, I should be content."

Grandma Chen was lying at the door, and she couldn't stop crying when she heard it. Chen Yang, who followed her, had been in a daze since hearing the bad news. The world was turned upside down overnight. He couldn't react, his mind was full of Blank, Chen Yang, who was still half a teenager, was stunned by the heavy blow. Hearing Mr. Dong say that, he didn't understand what was going on.

Fate, what is it?

What is life again!
