My years as a fortune teller

I walked a few steps and looked back at this room. It actually stands here alone, although the wall on one side is connected to the courtyard wall on the other side.But it can be seen that the location of this connection was made later.Because it can be seen from the soil quality, especially the color of the soil quality at the connection.

I shook my head and looked at these four strange houses.Why is the house built here?And why are there so many ghosts?Does old Lu know?He should know.But will he tell me?If you think about it, you may not tell me.

This old man who looks only 60 years old but is actually 80 years old is a mystery himself.And since I came here yesterday, until today, I have hardly seen other villagers.Why can't I see other villagers?Where have all these people gone?

The mysterious village, the mysterious old Lutou, and the mysterious water source.The most mysterious thing is that these four houses are haunted.Oh my god, the patriarch!How do I always encounter such a thing.Just want to take a break, can encounter so many secrets.Do you think that I am not mature enough, you want to sharpen me endlessly like this!Even if it is, give it a chance to breathe!

Forget it, even if it's a big mystery, I don't care about it this time.In the past year, his life was recovered.Don't say that I just dealt with an evil spirit just now, don't even think about it now.

While thinking about it, I walked up to Old Lutou, who was squatting on the ground and smoking a cigarette pot. When he heard footsteps, he looked back and saw me. He stood up with a smile and said, "I said that you people in the city are Interesting, I still have to take a look at a few broken houses. It’s okay to look at it, and it will take most of the day to go there.”

I smiled and said to Old Lu, "Brother Lu, I'm curious. Well, you can help me dust off the dust on my body first, and then give me water to wash my hands."

Old Lu was stunned for a moment, and said to me: "I'll go back right away, can't I fix it for you when I get back? You see, it will be done, and you will be covered in dirt when you go back."

I smiled and said to him: "You'd better beat it for me. This is my habit for many years. Usually after seeing such an empty house, you will beat the dust on your body."

Old Lu gave an oh and helped me dig the soil behind me.In fact, not only looking at the empty house, but even returning from the cemetery should immediately shake off the dust on the body.Because these places are inherently cloudy, there may be unclean things in the soil.

In the past, one of my cousins ​​didn't pay attention when she came back from the cemetery, and her face was swollen like a steamed bun that afternoon.Later, the old man nearby said that it would be better to give the burnt paper.Later I asked Master about it, and Master said that although some folk practices seem unreasonable.In fact, it implies some reverence for ghosts and gods. Things like this are typical collisions with Yin Qi.So it is helpful for people to use paper.

So since then I went to the cemetery, and the house where no one lived for a long time.If there is any dirt on the body, I will try my best to pat it.In order to avoid the possession of Yin in the dust, it will have a bad influence on oneself.

Old Lutou patted the dirt on my back, and I patted the front.Then I asked Old Lu to pour the water out of the gourd and wash my hands and face.I can see that Lao Lu is a little reluctant to bear water.

After finishing all this, Lao Lutou and I walked home. I really didn't see a few villagers along the way.It's strange where the people here have gone, don't they farm the land?If farming, where is their land?

Thinking of this, I pulled Old Lu's head and asked, "Brother Lu, why can't I see your villagers? Where have they gone? Don't they all farm?" This is the first time I saw such a quiet village .

Old Lutou smiled and said to me: "Planting the land, how can we not plant the land. But we are in a mountainous area, so the land is on the mountain ridges over there. Why don't farmers plan food in the field, where else can they go? Because the land is far away, people get up early in the morning. At noon, they either bring food to eat or send it over. Now some young people have gone out to make a living. Those who stay here are not Elderly people who are willing to go out or not.”

I nodded, no wonder I haven't seen anyone since yesterday.It turns out that they are usually in the field and only come back in the afternoon or evening.Now some rural areas in remote areas basically look like this.

I thought for a while and continued to ask: "By the way, Brother Lu, don't you think about planting some cash crops here? In this case, it can also increase part of your income!"

"Good, my brother!" Old Lutou said to me: "We are in a mountainous area, and it is difficult to send out the things that are generally grown. It is transported by water and land. If it encounters the rainy season, it will easily deteriorate. Besides, you can I know, business is very difficult. We also tried to grow some Chinese medicinal materials a few years ago, but generally speaking, it is not thankful for the effort.”

I nodded, this is also true.It's not just this place, it's like this in many rural areas.Just as we were talking, we arrived at Old Lutou’s house, and before we entered the yard, we saw Jin sitting there playing with some pieces of porcelain that day.

When he heard our footsteps, he looked back, stood up immediately and said, "Look, tiger, I have received a few more treasures this time." He picked up a pen holder and dangled it around.

I walked over and snatched it up, held it in my hand and looked at it for a long time.This pen holder is octagonal, and a rooster crowing is painted on the white porcelain surface.Under the rooster's feet, there were still two drops of dew on a few stalks of grass.

Looking at the vivid pattern of the painting, I turned the pen holder to look at the bottom.This is to see the birthmark at the bottom, and what the inscription is.This is also a common sense to distinguish porcelain. Although I am not good at learning, I still know these things.

"Why is there no sign at the bottom?" I turned over the pen holder again, and Jin Nantian put his hand on the bottom to prevent me from accidentally dropping the pen holder.Looking at his cautious look, I wanted to laugh for a while.

Jin Nantian took the pen holder from me, wiped it with his sleeve and said: "Some things are used by the people, so it is normal that there is no signature. But don't look at this kind of folk use, many of them are high-quality goods. Tiger Son, do you know the age of this pen holder?"

I said casually: "It should be in the late Qing Dynasty, not earlier than Yongzheng and Qianlong. Generally speaking, it is more likely to be in the late Qianlong period or the Daoguang period."

In fact, I was talking nonsense, I didn't expect Jin Nantian to be surprised.He squinted and said, "You can do it, you can say that you can tell the truth just by looking at it like this! Yes, this is indeed a fine folk kiln from the Xianfeng or Daoguang period, and it was produced in Jingdezhen."

I froze for a moment, not expecting to be guessed right by me.So he pretended to be nonchalant and said, "You think I'm a dry man, so don't dangle fake things in front of me from now on." Said proudly and sat down on the bamboo chair.

Old Lu laughed and went into the room, the old man must have seen something.Watching him walk into the room, I patted Jin Nantian.He was looking at the pen holder in his hand, and I almost threw the pen holder on the ground with this clap.

Jin Nantian held the pen holder nervously, stared and said: "Your uncle, dare you not be so surprised? I was almost scared so much that I threw the things in my hand." He gave me a blank look.

I said nonchalantly: "How did your uncle become so timid? Isn't it just a pen holder from the middle and late Qing Dynasty. I don't believe it. Your family's is worse than this. By the way, I have something to tell you."

Jin Nantian glared at me, and put the pen holder on the small square table.I looked around to see if there was no one there, and said in a low voice, "Brother Tian, ​​do you think this place is weird? From this morning until now, I have discovered that this village is a huge mystery."

Jin Nantian frowned, and I immediately recounted everything I saw in the morning.Jin Nantian frowned immediately after hearing this, and looked at me without saying a word.It seems that he will also realize the problem here...
