My years as a fortune teller

I took the empty bottle and went downstairs, shook it in front of Tian Ruifu and his wife and said, "See, I put a ghost in this bottle. Mr. Tian, ​​the one inside is your ex-wife anyway, How do you say to deal with it?"

Before Tian Ruifu could speak, he heard his wife shout: "Burn it! Bury it! Master Xiao Zhang, just see how you can make her never come out. She is not a human, but a ghost. She is here to harm us. She is here to harm us." My son and I, burn her, burn her!"

Tian Ruifu's wife's behavior was a bit exaggerated, but my understanding at the time was reasonable. I thought it might be a normal manifestation of women's fear of ghosts, and I thought it would harm her and my son.So I didn't suspect it, and it almost caused serious consequences later.

I smiled and looked at Tian Ruifu, hoping he could say something.Tian Ruifu covered his face in pain, and after a long time he said: "Master Xiao Zhang, think of a way to keep her from coming out forever, or else my wife and children will be killed by her."

I didn't have any suspicions at this time, but said lightly: "It's not such an exaggeration, she is Xiao Zhaodi's mother who came to see the child. If you agree, I will save her." Tian Ruifu thought for a long time before He nodded with difficulty.

His daughter-in-law asked a little worriedly: "Master Xiao Zhang, can I ask if she won't come out again after you supersede her?" Seeing her nervous, I smiled and nodded.

The couple felt relieved and watched me put the empty bottle into Cui Erye's bag.Then I clapped my hands and said, "Okay, now we can go to Mr. Tian's old house. Let's go around there today and try to go back in the evening."

Upon hearing this, Gao Shengwen looked at me and said, "Why do you still have to go to the old house of Lao Tian's family? Is there any problem there? If so, is one round trip enough time?" He said and looked at Tian Ruifu.

I smiled and said to Gao Shengwen: "Going to the old house is nothing more than studying the Fengshui over there. Think about it, Zongzu Tian also did this; the Fengshui inside must be very special. It will be regrettable if you don't study it. Can't go back, I hope to try my best."

Tian Ruifu will recover a little bit now, smiled reluctantly and said: "The old house is not very far from here, if you hurry up, you can definitely make it back. But I think it's better to live another day today!"

I smiled and said, "Forget it, we'll try our best to go back at night. Besides, I have to get you one when I get back. When you come back, stick it in the house for protection."

Tian Ruifu nodded hurriedly and asked his wife to prepare meals for us.In a hurry, I didn't agree, so I pulled them and walked outside.It is also good to eat some special snacks on the nearby streets later.

Cui Erye and I went out first, he looked back and the rest of the people did not follow.He said to me: "Huzi, you really put the female ghost in a bottle? Why does it look weird to me!"

As soon as I heard what he said, I looked back at Gao Shengwen and the others who were still in the yard.He whispered to Second Master Cui: "Second Master has good eyesight, so I didn't accept this ghost. Think about it, she is Xiao Zhaodi's mother. Although she committed suicide, she was wronged. But she came to see her child, and she didn't Do evil, why should I accept others. I just took the bottle just to deceive Tian Ruifu and his wife."

Second Master Cui nodded, and whispered to me: "What I said was a little strange, but that's not what I meant. Didn't you notice just now that Lao Tian and his wife had strange expressions? Think about it, after all, they are Xiao Zhaodi's mother. As for the expression so scary?"

When I heard this, I thought about it, and it was true.But soon I smiled and said, "Second Master is worrying too much. Even if you are a relative, there are still many people who are afraid of ghosts in this society. So I think it is normal. Hehe" I said with a smile.

Cui Erye shook his head and wanted to continue discussing with me.As a result, Tian Ruifu and Gao Shengwen came out, and my conversation with Cui Erye was temporarily interrupted.I got into Tian Ruifu's car and drove slowly towards the back of the village.

This village was relocated later, and the original old village is not far behind the current village.It took about half an hour to drive there. According to Tian Ruifu, they were relocated collectively for road construction.

Although the old village is very desolate, you can vaguely see the bustle of the past.One house is next to the other, and on the land not far away, there are still a few old grave mounds that have not been leveled.

I said to Cui Erye: "Second Master, look at this old village, which is backed by green hills. In fact, it was also seen by someone before it was built, but the Wenxing star is unknown; there can't be Wenquxing here, but there can be a few wealthy people here. people."

Second Master Cui looked at it and nodded, and said to me: "Huzi, look at those old graves. There is stagnant water before the back of the mountain is unknown. And the white tiger is higher than the green dragon. It seems that they are all dead." I nodded.

I heard Tian Ruifu say: "It's not like this. From what I can remember in our village to the present, the most educated person is a junior high school student. According to my grandfather, there was not a single scholar in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. But here There are quite a few people who do business, and now there are three or four big bosses in Xi'an, all of whom are said to be worth tens of millions, and one of them even provides materials to Mr. Gao."

Then he pointed to the cemetery and said: "It turns out that in our village, the surname Tian is basically used, and later there were many foreign surnames. Most of the burials in that cemetery were from outsiders. But both of you are right. It really belongs to those who have lost their heirs."

Cui Erye and I looked at each other and smiled, then followed Tian Ruifu into the village.Along the way, there are small courtyards without doors and windows that have been demolished. Occasionally, one or two small wild animals will run out of the grass on the side of the road.

Gao Shengwen gave me a hand, and said in a low voice: "Huzi, why do I think this place is so eerie? Do you think there is such a thing here?" He looked around in fear as he spoke.

Although the voice was very low, Cui Erye and Tian Ruifu still heard it.Look back at me together, waiting for my answer.I nodded and said, "Any village or house that has been abandoned for a long time will have a bit of yin. Especially in this kind of village, with its back against the mountains, it is normal to have some animals with good morals."

As soon as I finished speaking, Tian Ruifu and Gao Shengwen said "ah" together.I went on to say: "But you don't have to worry, it's daytime and it's approaching noon. Any evil spirits dare not come out, not to mention we still have three fires on us. It's okay, everyone just keep going."

Speaking of this, I grabbed Tian Ruifu and said, "I think this village is quite old. There should be a stone tablet recording the cause of the village's construction here! And if you are all surnamed Tian, ​​I think this also has a history."

Cui Erye smiled and said to me: "I know a little about Huzi. I have learned a little since I came here last time. It is said that the ancestors of the Tian family are brothers; An official of astronomy and calendar. Later, after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, they ran here and gradually settled here. But there are no historical materials, so it is hard to say the specifics.”

Tian Ruiwen said with a smile: "Mr. Cui is really a careful person. I heard my grandfather say that too. I remember my father once told me that he held several ancestor worship ceremonies when he was young. Later, during the Cultural Revolution , Those outsiders flattened our ancestral graves, and burned the genealogy and all the things left by our ancestors, so the history here has become history.”

I smiled and said to Gao Shengwen: "You see, in the past, we used to clear other people's graves, but now we wait for others to clear our own graves. This is a kind of retribution. It's just that many people involved can't see it, or some people don't know about it. "

Tian Ruifu clapped his hands and said: "That's right, you can see that there is a grave over there surrounded by five big trees. That is the leader of the rebel faction back then. After he died, the village would not allow him to bury him. His eldest son was moved there." , Many fortune tellers said it was a good position. As a result, within five years, three sons and two grandsons died. And the deaths were not very good, and everyone in the village said it was retribution."

I raised my eyes and looked at the place Tian Ruifu said, and sure enough, in the middle of the five trees, there was a lonely grave standing there, as if telling something...
